。

In the middle of May, it was already summer.

It was just past the afternoon, and the scorching sun outside could roast people, but the temperature in the room was exceptionally low.

A young man with an obscene expression was tied up and pressed to the ground, while the man sitting on the main seat held a jade pendant in his hand, and his face was gloomy.

"Say, where did this jade pendant come from!"

Hearing this, the young man was suddenly a little flustered, and said sharply: "The master is here to change some money in the pawnshop, if you accept it, give the money, otherwise the master will go to other places and be the same, why tie up the master!" Old immortal, the master warns you, I am a person from the government, dare to touch me, the master will let your pawnshop close! ”

When he said this, the pawnshop owner immediately raised his foot and kicked the young man's chest, scolding: "What doesn't have long eyes, open your dog's eyes and see who this is, this is-"

"Fu'an."

The man on the throne stopped him and stopped the pawnshop owner from what he was saying.

Then, he stood up, walked to the young man's side, and said condescendingly: "Tell me where this jade pendant came from, and I will spare you from death." Otherwise......"

Before he could finish his words, he saw that the people on both sides of him had already unsheathed their knives and aimed them at the young man.

Where has the boy seen this battle? At that moment, he collapsed to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle spare your life, a good man spare your life, I say, I say!" I got this jade pendant when I went with the people of the government to raid Xie's house that day. Xie's house has a very dilapidated yard, and it has been closed for a long time, and I became greedy, thinking that no one would know about it, so I came out. Hero, I have offended you with no beads, and please have a lot of them! ”

In the past, when the people of the official family were raided, these little minions would take the opportunity to find out some things that didn't seem to be of much value and secretly take them, which could be regarded as getting some oil and water from them. This jade pendant is not ordinary, but he was greedy, thinking that the courtyard had not been inhabited for a long time, maybe even the master had forgotten that there was such a thing, so he came out.

Who would have thought that this pawnshop would be pressed down on the spot!

The young man regretted not being at the beginning, but he didn't notice the gloomy and puzzled expression on the middle-aged man's face: "Xie family? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the Xie family. The villain remembered clearly that the small courtyard was very broken, it had not been cleaned for at least decades, and it was full of dust. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man didn't speak again, but the pawnshop owner next to him, Fu'an, got a look, turned around and took out the ingot silver, and said in a deep voice: "Take the silver and roll, if you dare to leak this matter, I won't be able to spare you!" ”

When the young man saw that he had the money, he immediately blossomed, and after thanking him again and again, he saw that this group of people really did not kill themselves, and ran away for the rest of their lives.

It wasn't until after the young man left that Fu'an whispered, "Donkey, this jade pendant—"

The middle-aged man in this room is none other than Shangguan Ying's husband, Xiao Haoran!

Seeing that Fu'an wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Haoran's expression was a little more desolate and hateful, and he muttered: "You also recognize it, right?" ”

Seeing him like this, Fu'an didn't dare to say much, just stood beside him with his hands down.

After a long time, I heard Xiao Haoran's voice sound: "Let someone check and see who left this jade pendant!" ”

……

Wang Ziqi really kept his promise, said that he would come to work to pay off his debts, so he really came every day, and left on time after closing in the evening.

And after this day, Xie Yanwan had never seen Wu Yusheng, and it was always because Wang Ziqi was here, so he didn't dare to come.

Thinking of this, Xie Yanwan sighed a little, this girl has been together for a long time, but she feels that she has a good temper, but it's a pity that the two of them have the wrong temper, I'm afraid that they are fated.

Sometimes when he was in a daze, Xie Yanwan could still see the sadness in Wang Ziqi's eyes.

The business that has just opened, and some people in the officialdom know that it was opened by the lord of Zhenhe, so they all came to cheer unintentionally. In the world, Xie Yanwan and Miaoshu started to calculate the accounts, but they were busy enough.

Until the end of the day, Xie Yanwan stretched his waist, and when he saw Wang Ziqi saying goodbye to him, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered something very important.

"Didn't you lose your purse, where do you live now?"

She remembered that on the day they met, Wang Ziqi's purse had been lost, even if she had a place to live before and had no money on her, she was afraid that the house money would expire these days.

Hearing this, Wang Ziqi suddenly smiled dryly and said, "I'm staying in an inn, it's not too early, I'll go first." ”

Seeing that she slipped away as if she was running away, Xie Yanwan felt even more wrong, she told Miaoshu to go back first, and she turned around and quietly followed her.

Wang Ziqi didn't know that there was someone behind her, the road was very fast, she first went to the door of the Wu Mansion, and when she saw that the gate was closed, she turned around and walked towards the place where she lived.

It was a land temple, which was in disrepair for a long time, and there was a faint musty smell inside, so that pedestrians avoided it.

But Wang Ziqi didn't realize it, after she entered the door, she opened her bed, took out the remaining half of the chicken leg from her arms, and devoured it.

Seeing this, Xie Yanwan couldn't help it, strode in, and asked, "This is the inn where you live?" ”

Wang Ziqi was startled, and the chicken leg in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and then with the embarrassment after being caught, he shouted, "Sister Xie." ”

Seeing Xie Yanwan's stern expression, Wang Ziqi had no choice but to say.

After losing her purse, she was kicked out of the store the next day, but fortunately she still had a few hairpins, and after she dropped it, she changed the bed cover, and saw that the land temple was uninhabited, so Wang Ziqi settled down here.

"This is ridiculous, you are the princess of the country, how can you sleep in this broken temple? No, you can go back with me, and I'll arrange a place for you to live. ”

Not wanting to listen to Xie Yanwan's words, Wang Ziqi waved his hand again and again, and said, "Sister Xie, it's good here, I won't go anywhere else." ”

"Ridiculous!" Xie Yan didn't come out of nowhere, pointed to the leaky place and said, "This is also a place where you can live?" You are a golden branch and a princess of another country, and you live here when you come to Xichu, if you let the emperor know, we who know will be punished. ”

She said this just to scare Wang Ziqi, but she didn't want to, the latter said very seriously: "Sister Xie, don't worry, if my whereabouts are discovered by your emperor, I will say that no one has seen it." After all, he who does not know is not guilty, and he will not punish you. ”

Seeing her like this, Xie Yanwan wanted to be angry and laugh, and finally had to nod her head and say, "Anyway, I don't agree, go back with me, and live in the store first." ”

Seeing this, Wang Ziqi shook his head resolutely, sat on the ground, and said, "I won't go anywhere except here." ”

"Why?"

Hearing Xie Yanwan's inquiry, Wang Ziqi hesitated, and finally couldn't stand her questioning, so he had to pull Xie Yanwan out, pointed to the Wu family's house not far away, and said stupidly: "Sister Xie, look, I live here, as long as I go out, I can see Brother Wu's home." I know he doesn't want to see me, but as long as I look at me from afar, I'm content. ”

Her appearance suddenly hit the softest place in Xie Yanwan's heart. After a long time, she sighed and said, "Silly girl." ”

How can there be such a stupid girl in this world?

But it makes people feel distressed to look at.

"Sister Xie, you don't have to worry about me, I will do kung fu with my fists and feet, and I can also protect myself." Wang Ziqi smiled with a silly face, and continued: "The most important thing is that I can get closer to him, if there is a girl who wants to get close to him, I can also find out at the first time!" ”

Speaking of this, her fighting spirit returned: "In short, he is mine, and I must not let him get close to other girls!" Of course, Sister Xie, you are an exception. ”

Since he knew that Xie Yanwan had someone in his heart that day, Wang Ziqi's hatred for Xie Yanwan had been reduced to zero.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Xie Yanwan was angry and funny, but she couldn't resist her, so she finally had to say: "Okay, okay, then you can live here, and guard your big brother Wu well!" ”

Having said that, Xie Yanwan still began to think that he should find a few reliable craftsmen to repair this place, and when he went back at night, he would ask for a few more people with Feng Qizhi to secretly guard Wang Ziqi.

After all, as a princess, if something really happens, no one can afford the consequences.

She was thinking about this at night, waiting for Feng Qi to come back. I didn't want Feng Qi to stop going out to run errands, but I didn't return at night.

Xie Yan didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night, and in her dream, she felt the noisy sound of water around her in a daze, which made her sleep extremely uneasy.

Someone pushed the door in, Xie Yanwan sat up suddenly, but saw that the sky was already bright, and the air was a little cool.

Seeing that her expression was unstable, Mama Lu immediately said with concern: "What's wrong with the girl?" ”

Seeing that it was Mama Lu, Xie Yanwan shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I didn't sleep well, hasn't Ah Zhi come back yet?" ”

After receiving a negative answer, Xie Yanwan was a little lost in an instant, she took a towel to wipe her face, and said casually: "Why is it a little cold today?" ”

Mama Lu walked over and opened the window, and said with a smile: "Didn't the girl hear the heavy rain last night?" The rain of early summer came and went as fast as it came, and it only fell in the middle of the night, and it had stopped by this time. ”

Before she finished her words, she saw Xie Yanwan throw the towel into the basin of water and hurriedly ran outside.

Seeing this, Mama Lu hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Girl, why are you going?" ”

Xie Yan didn't look back at night, waved his hand and said, "Grandma doesn't have to worry about me, I'll go to the store." ”

It rained so heavily last night, Wang Ziqi didn't know what was going on, she had to see the girl with her own eyes to rest assured.

However, after arriving at the store, Xie Yanwan's heart sank.

"Didn't come?"

"Yes, I didn't see Miss Wang coming."

After getting the reply from the people in the store, Xie Yanwan's mind was empty, and he immediately ordered the carriage to move forward quickly and went to the temple where Wang Ziqi was following yesterday.
