Zhuang Meiyan opened her eyes suddenly, staring blankly around, and when the dazzling discomfort disappeared, what greeted her was Chengchen covered with white muslin. She suddenly became a little sober, sat up suddenly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "I, where am I?"

She looked at Chunju and the others who were guarding the bedside, and everyone was also full of anxiety, and they were relieved to see her wake up. Chunju smiled: "Miss, you can be regarded as awake, every time you go out, you will have to cause something earth-shattering." ”

Jiang Yutang had already helped her probe her pulse, saying that she was just a little frightened, and she fainted from exertion, and she would recover as long as she rested. Because there was no serious problem, the male relatives should avoid it, and only the women were guarding her bedside.

Xi Ruolan twisted a hot towel and carefully wiped her face, she knew that she had broken out in a cold sweat this time, and her bedclothes were almost soaking wet at this time, sticky and very uncomfortable. Xi Ruolan wiped her face and neck, and seeing her discomfort, she said to Chunju: "Sister Chunju, you can help my sister find a set of clothes to change into, and she was sweating again, and she was soaked." ”

Chunju answered, turned around and went to the cabinet to rummage for clothes. Sister-in-law Yang had already gone out to the kitchen and brought a bowl of hot rice porridge over, Xi Ruolan took it in her hand, stirred it with a spoon and gently blew the hot air, and tried the heat and cold at the same time.

Zhuang Meiyan changed into a new set of clothes under the service of Chunju, and suddenly felt a lot refreshed, smelling the porridge, and her stomach couldn't help but "gurgle". She was a little embarrassed, but Xi Ruolan grinned and said, "Sister, it's good to know that you're hungry." ”

As he spoke, he brought the porridge bowl and fed her spoonful by spoonful. Sister-in-law Yang was not idle, she didn't know when she took an empty bowl, and while dancing a strange dance in the room, she rhythmically knocked on the edge of the bowl with a red chopstick, and there were words in her mouth.

"Ann Lai...... The soul is coming!

"Don't be scared, don't think!"

"The soul is coming!

After turning around the room like this, he finally turned to Zhuang Meiyan's side and knocked around with the bowl in a circle, and finally put the bowl on top of Zhuang Meiyan's head, erected chopsticks, and beat him hard.

Zhuang Meiyan knew that this was a traditional way to scream in the countryside, and Sister-in-law Yang was also kind, so she smiled silently. Xi Ruolan was puzzled and said, "Sister-in-law Yang, what are you doing here?"

Sister-in-law Yang waved her hand mysteriously, signaling that she should not speak, and then tiptoed out of the room. Zhuang Meiyan knew that during the process of this ceremony, the executor could not talk to people casually, so she pushed Xi Ruolan and told her not to make a fuss. Xi Ruolan shook her head and continued to scoop porridge to feed Zhuang Meiyan.

Zhuang Meiyan ate a bowl of porridge and felt that her spirit had recovered a lot, she always felt a little uneasy, so she called Xi Ruolan, who was about to leave the house, and said, "Sister Ruolan, where is Xiaobai?

She was dazed and remembered that she and Xiaobai were walking slowly in the forest, and her consciousness became more and more blurred, and then Xiaobai saw that she couldn't walk anymore, so she took the initiative to squat down and carry her on her back. Lying on that solid back, she couldn't hold it anymore, her eyelids slowly pressed together, and she didn't remember anything about the rest at all.

When he woke up again, he had already returned to the silk shop, and it must have been Xiao Bai who sent him back, but what about the others? Zhuang Meiyan had a series of questions in his heart to ask him, how did he escape the pursuit? Who was the Blood Wolf King? Who were those people who were chasing him?

Xi Ruolan's face changed, and she couldn't help but glance at Chunju, and the latter also happened to raise her head to look at her, and the two quickly exchanged glances. Xi Ruolan immediately changed her smile and said, "You mean that stupid boy! Who knows? He sent you back, and people don't know where they ran for a long time." ”

"Yes, Miss, don't think too much! Jiang Gongzi said that your body needs to be well recuperated, otherwise your physical strength will be too overdrawn and it will hurt your vitality. Chunju also helped.

Zhuang Meiyan observed the words and looks, and saw that the eyes of the two were uncertain, and they didn't dare to look at themselves, and immediately recognized that they had something to hide from themselves. She lowered her face and shouted, "Chunju, kneel!"

She has always been kind and pleasant, and she never moved her anger, but at this time, she suddenly ordered Chunju to kneel down with a strong voice, obviously moving her liver fire. Xi Ruolan was at a loss and was about to speak out to dissuade her, but when she saw Zhuang Meiyan's gloomy face, she didn't dare to say anything and stood aside quietly.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Zhuang Meiyan asked sharply.

Chunju immediately knelt on the ground, hesitantly taking the things hidden behind her, but it was a set of clothes that Zhuang Meiyan was wearing before, and there was nothing abnormal at a cursory glance. Zhuang Meiyan walked quickly to Chunju, raised her hand and picked up the clothes, Chunju frowned, and seemed to be reluctant.

She picked up her clothes and flipped through them a few times, and it suddenly became clear. I saw that the front of my shirt was stained red, and the blood stains had dried up, and the color was dark red, which had obviously been a long time. Her heart felt as if something sharp had been inserted into her heart and stirred it violently, and she was squeezing it together and hurting it raw.

She seemed to see the guy alertly hiding in the mountains and forests, fighting with the black-clothed warriors, who fell one after another, and suddenly a knife slashed at his shoulder, and blood flowed. In the end, the guy dragged his tired body back to the ancient tree and reluctantly moved the stone away...... He also carried himself back, and he is now ......

"Where is he?" Zhuang Meiyan asked, grabbing Chunju with tears in her eyes.

Chunju just lowered her head and didn't say a word.

Xi Ruolan saw that Zhuang Meiyan was extremely excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her, saying, "Sister, no matter what happened to Chunju, Xiaobai carried his sister home, he was still very sober." Later, we were busy checking on your sister's injuries and didn't care about him, and after Dr. Jiang cut off his pulse and said that you were okay, when we came to the hall to look for Xiaobai again, he was gone. We were afraid that you would be worried, so we didn't dare to say it, not on purpose, but because Dr. Jiang explained that you were not allowed to be too excited, for fear that your body would not be able to stand it. ”

Zhuang Meiyan ignored her explanation, leaned against the table like a lost soul, and muttered, "How is he?

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she remembered something, pushed Chunju away hard, pulled her legs and ran out of the door.

"Miss!"

"Sister!"

Chunju and Xi Ruolan panicked and rushed to the door, but the two of them were stuck at the door instead, allowing Zhuang Meiyan to take the first step. Zhuang Meiyan quickly ran to the staircase, Sister-in-law Yang was walking upstairs with a basin of water, and when she saw Zhuang Meiyan in a hurry, she was startled, and asked in confusion: "Third girl, what are you--"

Zhuang Meiyan pushed her away in a hurry, causing her to stumble and almost throw the basin in her hand. Chunju and Xi Ruolan shouted together: "Sister-in-law Yang, stop Miss." ”

"Hey!" Sister-in-law Yang came to her senses and chased after her with a basin.

"Throw the basin away!"

"Hey!" Sister-in-law Yang was anxious like something, the more anxious she became, the more confused she became, she actually took the basin upstairs, put it at the mouth of the stairs before turning around to chase Zhuang Meiyan, such a delay, the three of them were blocked on the stairs, and watched Zhuang Meiyan quickly run down the stairs and rush out of the gate.

It's still the same grassy slope, the sun is still scorching, the breeze is still there, and the grass waves are quietly undulating. There is no killing machine lurking, no sword light and sword shadow life and death fight, no corpse, no blood splashing, no shouting and killing. There is not even a trace of yesterday's everything.

Zhuang Meiyan stood in the middle of the tall thatch, the soft blades of grass gently brushing her arms and cheeks, brushing the desolation in her heart. She ran here from her home in one go, and she didn't know what kind of force had supported her to get here, and she was standing alone on this grassy slope.

"Xiaobai. She said something in her heart, and suddenly she had the courage again, and stumbled down the slope.

Following the route in her memory, she found the hot spring that Xiaobai took her to for the first time. The hot springs are steaming, the temperature is too high in some places, and the water bubbles are "gurgling", but apart from this sound, the hot springs are much quieter, and nothing else. Zhuang Meiyan looked at the empty hot spring stupidly, and her thoughts seemed to have stagnated.

What about the white wolf who lay meekly on the edge of the hot spring and licked her hair? What about the little wolf who fought and played by the hot spring? What about the guy who sat next to the hot spring and frolicked with the white wolf? What about the guy who laughed and laughed non-stop? What about the guy who roasted her sweet potatoes in the cave? What about the guy who refused to leave her alone to escape alone even when she was in the most dangerous situation? What about the guy who was injured but gritted his teeth and carried himself home?

Zhuang Meiyan's body trembled slightly, her lips were about to be bitten and bleeding, but she tried her best to hold back, her chest rose and fell sharply. She walked slowly through the hot springs and circled the cave, everything so familiar and strange, everything so silent. When she came out of the cave, she could faintly see a white figure in the distance through the mist of the hot spring.

Zhuang Meiyan was overjoyed and immediately ran over.

"Xiaobai!

When she got closer, disappointment appeared on her face, and she stopped her hurried steps, stopped there, and looked at Jiang Yutang in a daze. Jiang Yutang sighed and said slowly: "Chunju told me, I didn't worry about it, so I came here." ”

Zhuang Meiyan hung his head silently, Jiang Yutang walked up to her, raised his arm lovingly and wanted to touch her face, but when his fingers touched the smooth skin like congealed cream, his arm suddenly trembled, and his fingers just grabbed a few broken hairs hanging down in front of Zhuang Meiyan's forehead, and gently pinned her behind her ears.

"Charm, let's go back. ”

Jiang Yutang took her hand and turned around, but the woman behind her did not move.

"Brother Jiang. Zhuang Meiyan still hung her head, but her voice became cold, and there was a hint of coldness, "You betrayed us, right?"

This sentence was not disguised in any way, **naked, direct, and thrown over. Jiang Yutang's body stagnated, and even his voice became difficult.

"Charm, what are you talking about?"

Zhuang Meiyan sighed, a poignant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I've only talked to you about this place, and I haven't even mentioned Chunju and them. That time you asked me how to get rid of the cold poison in my body, and I learned to you about Xiaobai waiting for me to go to the hot spring to bathe. ”

"Why do you doubt me?"

"This place is very close to Chu Yifan's sentry, and Xiaobai has lived here for so long and has not been discovered, but after bringing me here, it will attract chasing soldiers, so there is only one possibility - I killed him!"

Zhuang Meiyan's body trembled violently, and the tears finally couldn't be held back, and they fell down heavily. At first she just whimpered quietly, then she cried louder and louder, and her voice was full of despair.

"Xiaobai must hate me to death! If Xiaobai knew that I hurt him, he would definitely hate me to death. ”

She suddenly realized in her heart, she knew the reason why she was so sad: whether he died, or if he left this place, she would never see him again, and maybe never again...... Then this misunderstanding will become an eternal misunderstanding!

Then it will become an irreparable regret in her life! Even if she cries all the tears of her life, it is irreparable regret!

Zhuang Meiyan is also a smart person in Bingxue, and after thinking about the things before and after, he immediately found the flaws. Chu Yifan and Jiang Yutang are good friends, Jiang Yutang will definitely tell Chu Yifan about this matter, no matter what Jiang Yutang's motives are, this sin is caused by himself after all.

Since the last fierce battle on the hill, Chu Yifan obviously had a lot of suspicion about Xiaobai. Although Zhuang Meiyan has a flexible brain in business, after all, she is just an ordinary woman, and she does not have a keen sense of smell in this kind of political affairs. This is the first time she realized that things are not as simple as she imagined - she thought that as long as she concealed Xiaobai's life experience, she could keep him safe for the rest of his life. In the dark, fate seems to have been arranged a long time ago, and one day he will have to work in his own direction, whether he recovers his memory or not, he must face his fate.

Zhuang Meiyan mourned in her heart, and the more she cried, the more she cried. Jiang Yutang was at a loss, he hurriedly turned around, rubbed his hands and feet in a hurry, and stammered and persuaded: "Charm, charm, it's none of your business." This, this is very complicated, even without you, his life is destined to be spent in turmoil, and it is impossible to keep his life safe with your strength. It was he who brought the disaster to you, not you who brought it to him, do you understand?"

"I don't want to know that! I don't want to know. Zhuang Meiyan raised a pair of teary eyes, her shoulders shrugged, she still cried, shook her head into a rattle, choked and said: "I hurt him!

Jiang Yutang looked at her distressedly, for the first time in his life, he hated his own incompetence, if he could turn back time, he vowed to help her keep that secret no matter what the outcome would be—as long as he didn't let him see her cry, he was made to watch her cry, and he didn't let her shed tears in front of him and he didn't have anything to do.

"It's your business, it's really your business. Jiang Yutang only had this one sentence, repeating it upside down.

What else could he explain to her besides that reason? What else did he have the right to explain to her?

Suddenly, a soft body fell into his arms, and he immediately hugged her firmly, willing not to let go for the rest of his life.

"Glamour, glamour. Jiang Yutang called softly.

Zhuang Meiyan fell into his arms, her breath was weak, Jiang Yutang knew that this was because she was weak and too emotional, and it had nothing to do with her life, but when she saw that pale little face, even the red moles on her cheeks had lost their luster, and his heart was still fierce, he carefully picked up Zhuang Meiyan's body and slowly left the hot spring.

On the north side of the hot spring is a mountain cliff more than ten zhang high, on the top of the cliff stands a young man, the breeze blows the placket of his clothes and hunts, and the slightly open placket reveals the tattoo of a wolf's head, and the red eyes loom with the shaking of his clothes. He stepped on a large rock at the top of the mountain, and a white wolf lay beside him.

From his position, he could clearly see the situation in the hot spring below, starting with the woman stumbling into the hot spring, watching her helplessly spin around in the hot spring, watching her shout "Xiaobai" as she walked, and watching her cry sadly.

"Xiaobai must hate me to death! If Xiaobai knew that I hurt him, he would definitely hate me to death. ”

"I don't want to know that! I don't want to know. ”

"I hurt him! I hurt him!"

The voices intertwined into a soft net that landed on his heart, holding him tightly. And he couldn't do anything but watch her faint in the arms of other men and watch other men take her away.

He was tempted to rush down, but the words of someone who had advised him last night suddenly rang in his ears.

"Every time you go out with him, you will always bring her endless harm, and if you continue like this, you will kill her sooner or later. ”

He suppressed all the distractions in his heart, took a deep breath, and slowly released the fist that had been clenched.

Someone chuckled low behind him. The white wolf sat up straight vigilantly, and he stretched out his palm to gently soothe.

"Are you leaving?" the visitor asked.

He didn't look back, and said indifferently: "If I don't leave, won't Commander Chu still have to suffer for me and spend a lot of thought in vain." ”

Chu Yifan didn't care about the irony in his words, and said calmly: "Anyway, the life debt between us is settled, and Chu doesn't owe you anything from now on." ”

He smiled, with a lazy expression on his face, and said nonchalantly: "No, I owe you a life this time." The last time I asked you to go to prison to save her, you have already paid me back my life, and this is the second time. ”

Chu Yifan was slightly surprised and said, "Last time...... Hehe, that's just a gesture, but I like that people owe me my life, not that I owe someone else's life. You have an interesting personality, and if it weren't for the two of us, maybe we would have been good friends. ”

"You will be a good friend if you are a friend, and you will be a terrible enemy if you are an enemy. Xiaobai trembled with laughter, "Maybe the next time we meet will be on the battlefield, and then I can thank you for your kindness." ”

The four words "the grace of one arrow" were deliberately accentuated, Chu Yifan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled: "I helped you kill the people in the Tiger Camp, is it wrong?"

"You and I joined forces to kill thirty-five warriors in the Tiger Camp in the jungle, and I will admit your love on this day, but you killed Yan Jing's own nephew with my white feather arrow, and this debt will be counted back sooner or later. Xiao Bai finally turned around and looked directly at Chu Yifan.

Chu Yifan's face was fearless, and his expression was still calm.

"If there is a day when we meet in battle, I will not show mercy. ”

"Will there be a day?" Xiao Bai suddenly showed a relaxed expression and said: "I am just a fugitive from Wu Yangguo, it is my greatest luck to be able to save my life, exile is my duty, how can I still have the heart to fight with others? Hahaha! You think too much, brother." ”

Chu Yifan also laughed, stretched out his palm, and said boldly: "Okay! I hope my brother thinks too much, and my brother wishes you success in escaping!"

The two men laughed wildly on the top of the mountain, as if they were two brothers who had been friends for many years. Xiaobai whistled, and the white wolf stretched his body lazily, stood up and shook his hair.

Xiaobai turned over and rode on the wolf's body and patted the white wolf's neck.

"Let's go, brother, we'll have a meeting later. ”

Chu Yifan's palm froze in mid-air, it was originally intended to be used to high-five people, but Xiaobai ignored it. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, slowly lowered his palm, and said idly: "Okay!

"By the way, there is something my brother wants to ask, do you really have the surname Zheng?"

Xiao Bai drove the white wolf under his crotch to move forward slowly, and when he passed by Chu Yifan, he smiled lightly, dropped a word, and the white wolf let out a long howl, walked forward, and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests.

"My body is the blood and bones of the Zheng family, there is nothing wrong with this!"

Chu Yifan was thoughtful, when the figures of Xiaobai and the white wolf disappeared into the jungle, there was suddenly an extra person beside him, as fast as lightning, and no one knew where this person came from. He was dressed in a cyan tight-fitting suit, with a sword behind his back, and his face was proud.

"Actually, we shouldn't let him go at all, if Lord Yufeng was willing to make a move just now, Chu thought he had no chance of winning. Chu Yifan slowly turned around and said to the visitor.

Yu Feng, who was dressed in green clothes, had a cold face, expressionless, and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Childe said that he would let him live." ”

Chu Yifan shook his head and said: "Once this person goes, he will return to the sky like an eagle, and the tiger will enter the mountains and forests, and we will kill him again in the future, I'm afraid it will not be an easy task." ”

Yu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly raised his murderous intentions, and said, "You dare to question Childe's decision!"

Chu Yifan didn't seem to feel any danger, stroked his slender and good-looking fingers very leisurely, and said indifferently: "Chu doesn't dare!"

"That's the best!" said Yu Feng coldly, and turned away.

Isn't it strange that he admits that he is the blood and blood of the Zheng family, but refuses to admit that his surname is Zheng! He is definitely not Zheng Wenhao, a weak scholar. The head of the wolf god is tattooed on his chest, not everyone in Wuyang has this qualification, Zheng Wenhao is just a descendant of a person with a foreign surname, why is he tattooed with the symbol of the royal family?"

Yu Feng paused and said, "You have too many questions. ”

Chu Yifan smiled, then stopped talking, and Yufeng continued to move forward.

Zhuang Meiyan was carried back to the silk shop by Jiang Yutang, and Chunju and the others did not know what to do, so they were frightened and took care of them carefully. Zhuang Meiyan was seriously ill and recuperated in bed for nearly a month before her vitality slowly recovered. Jiang Yutang came to check her pulse every day, and saw that his body was as strong as a day, and his heart was very happy, but Zhuang Meiyan was cold and indifferent, and he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about anything.

Chunju and the others also felt that their young lady's temperament seemed to have changed a little when she came back this time, but there was not much abnormality between the daily answers, Jiang Yutang only said that she was frightened and asked them to take care of her and not distract from her.

On this day, Jiang Yutang came to check the pulse again, and when he withdrew his fingers from Zhuang Meiyan's wrist, his face was full of joy, and he said: "Sister Meiyan's body has basically recovered, and she can get out of bed from today onwards, but she still needs to continue to recuperate in the future, and she must not be overworked." ”

"Brother Jiang is affected!" Zhuang Meiyan half-leaned on the bed, leaning on the big red flower and bird embroidered pillow behind her, retracted her hand between the wide sleeves of the robe, and said with her eyebrows lowered.

Jiang Yutang's heart tingled, these five words were the most times she said in the past month, it used to sound like a heartfelt gratitude, since the last time she came back from the hot spring, her temperament has gradually become cold, and what she said is also cold, to his ears, it is a little ironic, and it makes her feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Yutang bowed his body and said goodbye, but Zhuang Meiyan was not forced to stay. When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Chunju, and inevitably told Chunju some precautions, and asked her to go to his medicine hall to get the medicine and come back to decoction later.

After sending Jiang Yutang, Chunju quickly turned back again, and said to Zhuang Meiyan with a smile: "Miss, Dr. Jiang said that you can go out and walk around casually, early autumn is approaching these days, and the climate is cool, it is better to let Han Niu'er take us back to the 'Phoenix Nest' to go around, Niu Ge'er said, Aunt Li always talks about us, and also says that the wild berries in the mountains are ripe, didn't you say that you want to taste the fruits in the mountains? and said that you want to see if the fruits can be brewed." ”

Zhuang Meiyan uncovered the embroidered quilt on her legs, and said with a smile: "Dead girl, it's obvious that you are greedy, but it is arranged on me, can't you go with him?"

The word "he" was a bit heavy, Chunju suddenly blushed, and said, "What am I going to do with him?" ”

While talking, he half-knelt to help Zhuang Meiyan put on a pair of soft-soled embroidered silk slippers, and at the same time said: "By the way, Miss, Fat Liu came over again this morning and asked about Miss's physical condition, and was sent away by Yang Xiucai." ”

Zhuang Meiyan got up and sat in front of the dresser, looking at herself in the mirror, she had been sick for a month, her face was obviously emaciated, her color was slightly pale, and her lips were also pale.

She smiled tiredly, quietly looked at Chunju in the mirror who was patiently combing her long black hair, and said in a low voice: "In the past month, has Shopkeeper Liu come to visit very often?"

Chunju nodded and smiled: "Yes, this guy doesn't dare to be arrogant anymore, he accompanies a smiling face every time and carries a gift, but every time he is told by me and Xiucai on the grounds that you are sick and can't see guests." ”

Zhuang Meiyan nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "I'm sick today, you ask someone to tell him, it's that I want to see him." ”

Chunju was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Okay! Miss can teach him a good lesson." ”

Zhuang Meiyan smiled silently, her eyes were deep.

Lee Kee silk shop, the hall on the second floor.

Zhuang Meiyan sat on the Taishi chair of the main seat without moving, Chunju stood behind her, she picked up a bowl of tea, slowly blew the tea leaves in the cup, and took a sip. She raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Fatzi, who was sitting on the left side, only to see that his expression was uncertain, his eyes were staring at the ground, and he was quite anxious and restless.

Zhuang Meiyan knew in his heart that in the wine competition of the "Wine Party" a month ago, this shopkeeper Liu had made a lot of money, and he was betting on silver, and he was betting on his worth, and he was arrogant, and he wanted to drive Zhuang Meiyan out of Qiyang Town and occupy the industry she worked hard to manage. This made Liu Fatzi, who originally thought that he could win nine times out of ten, panicked, and the county magistrate helped him intercede, only hoping that Zhuang Meiyan could be affectionate.

The county magistrate did a good job and said that Zhuang Meiyan was moved, and promised to let him live, but he caught up with Zhuang Meiyan and had a serious illness, Liu Fatzi was afraid that Zhuang Meiyan would regret it, so he ran to Zhuang Meiyan's silk shop three times a day, and he was a gift and a smile, but he always touched a nose of ash, and was driven back by people who were polite or cold-eyed. Today, Zhuang Meiyan suddenly called someone to tell him that he wanted to see him have something to tell him, and he was happy and worried, so he hurried over.

Zhuang Meiyan was not in a hurry to say something, Liu Fatzi naturally couldn't ask, he was only anxious and sweaty, but he didn't dare to wipe it, and he was itching uncomfortably.

Zhuang Meiyan looked at it one by one, put down the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, please drink tea, this is the new tea in the south this year, I often bought out the last time I asked someone to give me a little, and the taste is still good." ”

Liu Fatzi Nuo Nuo mechanically picked up the tea bowl, drank several sips in a row, and then said: "Good tea, but it is good tea!"

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Chunju couldn't help but laugh secretly, and was rewarded by Zhuang Meiyan with a roll of the eyes, and immediately became behaving.

Liu Fat didn't seem to notice his mistake, because after drinking hot tea, the sweat on his head became more and more, he had to raise his sleeve to wipe his forehead, swallow saliva, and secretly raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Meiyan. The latter sat leisurely on the Taishi's chair, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, making it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking.

Zhuang Meiyan suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes were like electricity, Liu Fatzi didn't dare to look at her, and quickly lowered her huge head.

Zhuang Meiyan smiled when she saw this, and said loudly: "I heard Chunju say that Meiyan was sick a few days ago, and Shopkeeper Liu often came to visit, and he was troubled. ”

Fat Liu's eyes lit up, nodded again and again, and said, "It should be, the third girl is better?"

Zhuang Meiyan knew that he didn't care about his body, but had something else to ask for, but still talked about some gossip, and Liu Fatzi's face gradually became ugly, but he just endured it.

"The third girl invited someone to call me over, what the hell is going on?" Liu Fatzi couldn't help but ask.

Zhuang Meiyan suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said: "You see that after I got sick, my memory was much worse, and Chunju, you don't want to remind me." ”

Chunju smiled knowingly: "Shopkeeper Liu says every day that he is worried about your body, Miss, and today I came to talk about the homely slave maid thinking that Shopkeeper Liu will be very happy, so why interrupt casually?"

The master and servant sang and harmonized, and the fat face of the fat man Liu was red for a while and white for a while, and he almost wanted to get up and leave, but in the end, he thought of asking for someone, so he could only sit down patiently.

Zhuang Meiyan saw that Liu Fatzi was almost rubbed, and when he saw that he was good, he accepted it, coughed, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, the things we agreed on when we were drinking a few days ago have not been dealt with, I have been sick for more than a month, and I feel better today, so I specially asked Shopkeeper Liu to negotiate this matter." ”

Finally got to the point, Liu Fatzi "chuckled" in his heart, he was nervous, but now he has no confidence at all, he only prides his ears, for fear of missing a child.

"These days, Meiyan has also thought about it, according to which, you are a slave in my house after all, no matter how you send it, it is not an exaggeration, but it is inevitable that outsiders will see the jokes, saying that our dealer's house rules are not strict, and even individuals can't manage it well. ”

"You must have known who I am, but I am afraid you have forgotten what you are. Chunju, you talk to him and listen. ”

"Yes, miss. Chunju respectfully bent down to salute her, then turned his face, his face was full of frost, and said to Liu Fatzi solemnly: "Liu Feihe, you are the cousin of the second aunt's wife in the house, but you are the slave of the outer door manager, the year before last, our house bought a mansion in Qiyang Town, our hometown, and asked you to be responsible for the renovation and supervision.

Chunju turned out to be in a posture of asking him for guilt, and Liu Fatzi made her say with red faces, red ears, sweating, and silent.

"Miss said, it's not more than three things, she is willing to open the net. The contract is clearly written, clear, the two families personally drew the charge, the ancestral hall ancestors as evidence, if you want to regret it, of course, you can't, the agreed 10,000 taels of silver must be handed over to the patriarch for the town to repair the mountain road, as for your property, the lady said that you can not take it back for the time being, but you continue to operate, and she does not want a penny of silver for the profits, just look at the after-effects, I hope you will do it yourself. ”

Liu Fatzi was taught a lesson by Chunju, and was greatly disappointed when he heard that in the end, although Zhuang Meiyan said that he was willing to open the net, he did not return the industry to himself, but only temporarily handed it over to his own operation. And Chunju's words have already regarded himself as a low-level minion, he has always been used to being a blessing and a prestige, and he has never put this third lady who is equivalent to driving out of the Zhuang Mansion in his eyes, and he received a lesson today, and he was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only endure it.

Looking at his gray and departing back, Chunju felt very relieved in her heart, covered her mouth and laughed for a while, and suddenly asked Zhuang Meiyan with some doubts: "Miss, why don't you take the opportunity to take over his property? Wouldn't it be better to drive him out of Qiyang Town! This guy is not a good man and a woman, can you still expect him to change so many bad things and become a new person?"

Zhuang Meiyan shook his head and said: "You don't know that he doesn't accept me at all in his heart, so I want him to understand his identity." Previously, the county master had come to intercede, this person has been operating in Qiyang Town for a long time, and there are many doorways, after all, our foundation is not stable, if he has seized the industry, although he has nothing to say, he has to give birth to many tricks in secret, the so-called open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, it is better to stabilize him temporarily, if he reforms in the future, it will be the best, if he is still obsessed, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Chunju nodded, and said uncomfortably: "Miss, this person is cunning, you can't be unguarded." ”

Zhuang Meiyan smiled: "It's provincial! I have my own plans." You go and talk to Sister-in-law Yang, Yang Xiucai, and a few of them, and pay more attention to Liu Feihe in the future. ”

Chunju said "um" and withdrew.

Zhuang Meiyan looked up at the blue sky, idle clouds, midsummer has passed, in a blink of an eye, it is another autumn of the year!

After taking a nap, Zhuang Meiyan came downstairs.

She hadn't been out for a month, and she was much lazy herself. At this time of the afternoon, the business in the shop was light, but now Chunju was only responsible for supervising and teaching embroidery and tailoring, and hired two little maids to take care of the family's food and daily life, while Sister-in-law Yang was responsible for greeting customers at the silk shop.

Zhuang Meiyan slowly went downstairs, only to see a few embroidery girls concentrating on embroidery behind the screen, Sister-in-law Yang sat on a stool and lay on the counter squinting her eyes and dozing off, Yang Xiucai was in the counter, lowering her head and fiddling with the abacus, whispering the numbers in her mouth, probably for fear of disturbing Sister-in-law Yang, his voice playing with the abacus was very soft, did he glance at her, his eyes were gentle.

Zhuang Meiyan's steps were very light, and when she came to the counter, Yang Xiucai realized it, rubbed her hands and smiled: "Third girl, are you well?"

"Well, these days, you big guys have bothered. Zhuang Meiyan said softly.

Yang Xiucai waved his hand in embarrassment and said, "It's all within the part, it's all about the part, the third girl is too polite,"

"How's business going?" Zhuang Meiyan leaned over to check the accounts.

Yang Xiucai hurriedly opened the account book one by one, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "Needless to say, the business of the silk shop these days, not only the nearby towns, but even the aunt and wife of the county lord have come to us to order, and they are too busy every day, don't look at the light business this afternoon, in fact, the cutting of the Chunju girl has pressed a lot of work, and she can't finish it." Some big families see that the business is so good, and even the new clothes for the New Year are pulled in advance to do, saying that they are afraid that we will be busy with the shop and will not be able to take over the business, so they will be extremely busy. ”

"Now the most prosperous business is still the winery business, since the girl has been wronged, and won the reputation of 'wine fairy' at the 'wine party', there is an endless stream of people who come to order wine, but the girl is sick these days and can't make new wine, the batch of goods in the cellar has long been sold out, and many people have ordered a lot of wine, just waiting for the girl to get well before brewing it for them. Now they are just asked to wait as long as they want, and they are willing. Let's also follow the meaning of the third girl, those people who quit the wine at the beginning all bought wine at three times the price, who called them snobbish at the beginning!"

Yang Xiucai felt a bad breath in his heart, and when he thought of the situation at that time, he was angry, the villain who hated the poor and loved the rich deserved today. A smile crossed his face.

Zhuang Meiyan smiled slightly, and said: "Take the list for me to see, I remember that only Brother Cheng's restaurant did not return the wine that day, and it also added reservations, but it can't be generalized." ”

Yang Xiucai hurriedly flipped out the list, handed it to Zhuang Meiyan with both hands, and said with a smile: "That's natural, the shopkeeper of Chengda pays for the wine at half price, and the restaurant of the shopkeeper of Chengda is now the best restaurant in our Qiyang Town, so everyone knows that if you want to drink good wine at a cheap and fair price, you have to go to their Hexiang Restaurant." ”

Zhuang Meiyan nodded with a smile, and simply flipped through the account book a few times, only to see that in just one month, dozens of pages of accounts had been recorded, Yang Xiucai took out another one from the counter, and said: "The third girl wants to buy a few more pens for Xiao Ke, and she has used two broken books just for bookkeeping, and you can't finish a book this month." ”

Zhuang Meiyan pursed her lips and said: "You guys have worked hard! The end of this month is here, remember to add a red envelope of one or two silver to the big guys." ”

Yang Xiucai happily agreed, Zhuang Meiyan glanced at the list of wine refunds last time, suddenly remembered something, grabbed Yang Xiucai's sleeve, and asked: "Xiucai, these wine sellers, but they also sell them at three times the price?"

Yang Xiucai couldn't help but be surprised, nodded and said: "That's natural, they were willing to do it that day, and no one forced them to quit drinking." ”

Zhuang Meiyan sighed, picked up the brush on the counter, hooked it a few times, and said: "There are only icing on the cake in the world, where are there so many charcoal in the snow, they also raise a large family of people, and they have their own difficulties, which are different from those villains of power." At the beginning, I promised them that they didn't have to return the wine, and told them to go to another store to sell the wine first, and then they didn't have to find three times the price, and they were fine as usual, but they couldn't give them new wine. In the future, as long as the new wine of our winery is out of the cellar, we will immediately notify Brother Cheng, and then call another family when he picks it, if his family has not bought it, no one from other families is allowed to give it. ”

Yang Xiucai wrote them down one by one, and the two were discussing some business matters, when someone suddenly hurriedly barged in and shouted: "Han Niu'er, you come out for me!"

Sister-in-law Yang, who was napping, also woke up, and even the ladies who were concentrating on embroidery behind the screen poked their heads out, and everyone wondered, what earth-shattering things happened?
