When I got closer, I saw that my eyebrows and eyes were delicate, with some Jiangnan grace, I looked a little old, but the charm was excellent, and the smile was just right, a little more too much, a little less cold.

Rong Xi.

It turned out to be ...... Rong Xi.

The other party came to greet him at the same time, "Miss Shi, long time no see." The smile was a little softer, like joy from the bottom of my heart.

"Rong ......" Shi Huan was obviously not so happy, she smiled with her eyebrows raised, "I'm afraid it's a bit rude to call you Mother Rong now." Then I'll offend you and call you Madame. In the few intersections with Rong Xi, this elderly woman has always given Shi Huan the impression of standing next to Gu Yanqing.

The girl is obviously inappropriate, and the title of sister is even more inappropriate, although in Shi Huan's impression, Rong Xi has not been married so far, but Mrs. Yi is the most appropriate.

There is a bit of detachment and defensiveness in the politeness.

Rong Xi saw it in his eyes, smiled and bowed his head, "It's okay, it's just a code name, and the eldest lady can call it properly whatever she wants...... In fact, the concubine felt that calling the concubine's name made it more intimate. ”

Shi Huan shook his head, "It's too rude." ”

Mrs. Shi was a little surprised when she saw the two of them greeting, "Master Rong, you and the little girl...... Know? ”

Rong Xi bowed slightly, "Madam." When I was in Taihe County, I had several encounters with the eldest lady. The young lady has a kind face, and the concubine has the heart to make friends. ”

Mrs. Shi was vaguely aware of it in her heart at the moment, the troupe was very popular in the emperor, and I heard that the queue had been queued for more than a month, and she just handed over the name post to try, thinking that if it really didn't work, she could only change to another family, but she didn't expect the troupe to reply to someone, saying that "just right" an appointment was cancelled.

Mrs. Shi naturally knew what was "just right", but at that time she thought it was the reputation of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but now she knows that the other party is because of Shi Huan.

Someone praised her daughter, and Mrs. Shi was naturally a little more polite and warm, "You are really polite." She's just a little girl who is spoiled by the family...... The stage is in the garden, let's go over. ”

"Mother." Shi Huan called, "You bring the troupe over, I still have something to say with Mrs. Rong." ”

Someone gently tugged on his wrist, it was Tan Junyao. Facing the other party's silent questioning eyes, Shi Huan shook his head, "Go to the theater with my mother, I'll come later." ”

Mrs. Shi couldn't see the change in mood, and Tan Junyao, who was standing next to Shi Huan, could see it clearly, she had never seen Rong Xi before, but Shi Huan's suddenly tense body made her a little worried.

What's more, she could see clearly, the moment she saw Rong Xi, Gu Ci subconsciously went to the front half and blocked Shi Huan.

The woman who can make Shi Huan and Gu Ci guard at the same time...... Not to be underestimated. Tan Junyao was unwilling, but in the end he still followed.

If she didn't go, Mrs. Shi would have been worried.

Everyone left, Shi Huan looked at Rong Xi in front of him, his eyes were slightly cold. The Rong Xi in front of her reminded her of another layer of Gu Yanqing's identity, an identity that had almost been forgotten by herself - the person in charge of the underground bank.

The man who sat in a room with a smile on his face, the man who didn't hesitate to cut off his hand because of his mistakes, the man who was supposed to guard Sunset City but traveled thousands of miles to Taihe County to develop his power, that ...... No matter how much you laugh, the smile will not reach the man in your eyes.

Like, wearing layers of masks, the real emotions are hidden under countless layers of masks, never revealed.

That one...... A man who used the entire people of Sunset City as a hostage and designed to blackmail himself into going out of the city to die......

Gu Yanqing.

She didn't speak, her face was slightly gloomy, Rong Xi didn't seem to be aware, but she still smiled with joy, "I don't know...... What does Miss Shi want to say to her concubine? ”

Before Shi Huan could speak, Gu Ci had already opened his mouth and asked, "How did Mrs. Rong think of coming to the imperial capital to start an opera troupe?" "The smile is cute, the scenery is beautiful, and he is as familiar as an old friend for many years.

Only I know how much vigilance I have in my heart.

Rong Xi shrugged, looking at Gu Ci with a little less joy, detached and polite, "Before the painting boat was destroyed and there was a murder, Xu Taishou strictly investigated the entire Taihe County, all the little girls were forced to close their businesses at home, there was no source of income, and those little girls who could leave left...... No, the concubine can only find another way. ”

"In the final analysis, the destruction of this painting boat is still the blessing of Gu Gongzi."

"This credit, my son doesn't dare to take credit rashly." Gu Ci was not embarrassed at all, "What's more, at that time, the king of Changshan County had already promised to make compensation, why, did he break his promise?" ”

"King Changshan?" Rong Xi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and smiled slowly, full of amorous feelings, "You mean...... The Great Prince? Is this a promotion and a fortune? It seems that the compensation is less......"

The words are familiar, like old friends, but they don't seem to be so familiar, and they don't even know that the other party is named the king of Changshan County.

Shi Huan was suspicious, and there was a bit of scrutiny in her eyes, as if she wanted to judge how much truth there was in her words.

Rong Xi generously let her look at it, "The eldest lady thinks it...... The concubine is the one who is the eldest prince, right? ”

Shi Huan's gaze fell into the depths of the garden, which was the direction of the stage. At this moment, everyone is gone. She looked in that direction and raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it?" ”

In a place like the imperial capital, there are countless people from all walks of life who want to get in, how can they take the lead when they first arrive for no reason?

If Gu Yanqing was operating behind the scenes, this would not be unusual.

Gu Yanqing...... How much did you underestimate him in your previous life? Do you think that such a person really can't even take the bandits who have been harassed outside Sunset City for years?

"Eldest Miss......" In the end, if you don't want Shi Huan to look at herself with such guarded eyes again, Rong Xi whispered and bent down slightly, "There are many things, and it is inconvenient for the concubine to tell you at the moment." The eldest lady only needs to know that the concubine is a businessman, a mercenary businessman. At that time, he rented me a painting boat and gave him silver, and his concubine rented a painting boat to him and collected money. The relationship between the concubine and the king of Changshan is a simple buying and selling relationship, that's all. ”

"But the eldest lady...... If there is one person in this world who makes the concubine go against the bottom line of mercenary, it is only the eldest lady. ”

"Believe it or not...... If I knew that the relationship between the king of Changshan County and the eldest lady was not harmonious......" Rong Xi groaned slightly, and finally said bluntly, "The concubine body will still be rented to him." "Even in this way, it doesn't matter if I can reunite with you.

As he spoke, he bowed again, his smile was always gentle and soft, "The concubine passed first." Because of their own mess, the concubine is not at ease...... Gotta keep an eye on it. ”
