Chapter 16 Xiao Qiye

At this time, Jiang Xinyue was at home with her mother and younger brother.

Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears and said, "Yue'er, it's really good!" Chengye Ji people have their own natural appearance, and you have finally come to the end of your hardships. ”

Brother Ting took her sister's hand and said happily, "Brother-in-law rescued you?" So when will you get married? ”

"My sister doesn't know, it should be soon." Jiang Xinyue looked at her younger brother's innocent smiling face and said pitifully.

In the study room of Jiang Mansion, the big shopkeeper with more than a dozen stewards stood aside respectfully and reported to Jiang Xinyue the operation of the Jiang family commercial bank in the past six months.

Jiang Xinyue looked at the account book seriously, looked at the unsatisfactory figures, and frowned.

The big shopkeeper looked ashamed and said, "Miss, it's the villain who is incompetent and has betrayed Miss's trust." ”

Two months ago, when the Jiangnan flood occurred, the imperial court requisitioned a large amount of grain and cloth from the people for disaster relief. With the strength of the Jiang family firm, it could have become the largest supplier, but because the number was too large, Jiang Xinyue could not be contacted, and the big shopkeeper did not dare to call the shots. Not only did he miss a big deal, but he also missed the opportunity to be designated by the imperial court to become an imperial merchant.

The Imperial Merchants undertook the business of transporting military rations and purchasing copper and iron ore from the state, which not only made huge profits and had stable incomes, but also greatly improved their reputation, strength, and level, which was extremely beneficial to the long-term development of the Jiangjia Commercial Bank.

"It's okay, it's hard to be the big shopkeeper, you're doing a good job." Jiang Xinyue closed the account book, and the shopkeeper couldn't be blamed, the business firm that lacked the helmsman would be good if it could continue to operate. She values profit, but she values affection even more.

Xiao Qiye will return to the palace sooner or later, should she focus the Jiang family's business on the capital?

"Heart Moon." Xiao Qiye didn't know when he came, standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

Everyone quietly retreated together.

Xiao Qiye strode in. took Jiang Xinyue's hand. "I don't have a good rest, so I'm busy getting these."

"I'm just a businessman, what else can I do if I don't do this?" Jiang Xinyue's heart was a little blocked.

"Do you remember what day it is?" Xiao Qiye's fingers lightly swiped over Jiang Xinyue's face.

Jiang Xinyue was stunned, what day?

"It's the 207th anniversary of your acquaintance." Xiao Qiye's eyes were gentle, and his voice was even gentler.

"Why is 207 days an anniversary?" Jiang Xinyue was a little confused.

"Every day I know you is a day of remembrance." Xiao Qiye approached her, and his warm breath blew on her neck.

"Flim Flam!" Jiang Xinyue smiled, and there was a trace of warmth in her heart. picked up an account book and knocked it on Xiao Qiye's shoulder.

"Xiaosheng has booked a banquet in the Mianlou, please Miss Jiang to enjoy it!" Xiao Qiye bowed exaggeratedly.

King Nanqing was already the third letter, urging him to return to the palace quickly. The edict of the imperial court to canonize the prince will come down soon, and if the recipient is not there, it is a great sin to despise the king!

The view of the pavilion box is excellent, and the long river bank can be seen at a glance. The grass by the river is withered and yellow, and the dense reeds are swaying in the autumn wind, and the silk reeds are floating.

"Qiye, I'm a little panicked." Jiang Xinyue's eyes chased after a few waterfowl flying from the aquatic weeds, and said calmly.

"With me here, you don't have to worry, let alone panic." Xiao Qiye's eyes were still so dark and shiny, with indescribable tenderness.

A light smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Xinyue's mouth, and Xiao Qiye was like a first acquaintance in the rain, and once again lost her soul for her light smile.

"The peach tree is still there." Jiang Xinyue suddenly pointed to the river bank and said.

Xiao Qiye looked in the direction of her finger, the winter tree in the south did not lose its leaves, and the peach tree was still flourishing.

"That day, I came to the Jinlou early in the morning and waited, and I watched you coming, but I didn't dare to step forward, so I went downstairs in a circle." Xiao Qiye said with a smile.

Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but laugh. "You really looked like a disciple that day!"

"Xiaosheng is wronged!" Xiao Qiye exclaimed exaggeratedly. "What I said was from the bottom of my heart, I was very panicked at the time, I was afraid that you would reprimand me, and I would never pay attention to me again, but I didn't expect you to agree, I was so happy that I only knew how to smirk."

Jiang Xinyue's heart is like being immersed in a pool of spring water, soft and warm. The dark and bright eyes were dyed with a layer of mist, like the autumn water in front of him.

"Qiye, I feel that this half a year is like a dream."

"Me too, Xinyue. Good thing to have you around. Xiao Qiye's eyes were affectionate.

Coming out of the brocade building, it is already the willow tip on the moon. The two abandoned the carriage and walked slowly towards their home.

"Xinyue, my father..... The prince has repeatedly urged me to enter Beijing. Will you go with me? ”

Jiang Xinyue was silent for a moment and spit out a word: "No." ”

"Why?" Xiao Qiye understands in his heart.

"You know, the prince didn't recognize me, in what capacity did I go to the palace?" Jiang Xinyue felt a little aggrieved in her heart.

"When I get the title of the gold list, I will officially marry you." Xiao Qiye said seriously.

Jiang Xinyue glared: "If you don't get into the Jinshi, you won't marry me?" ”

Xiao Qiye saw her aggrieved and angry appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.

"Of course not! It's just that I promised my father to ask for the title of Chunfu, so that I can make a request, understand? ”

"Of course I understand. There are also a lot of mistakes in my family's business these days, and I have to take care of them. Jiang Xinyue felt a burst of worry in her heart, she didn't want Xiao Qiye to find out her uneasiness, and hurriedly said, "When will you set off?" ”

"Just for a few days. Xinyue, I can't bear you. Xiao Qiye's hand around her slender waist gradually became stronger.

Jiang Xinyue was also a little emotional, she stood on tiptoe and grabbed Xiao Qiye's neck and kissed him lightly on the face.

"Wait for me." Under the watery moonlight, her face was clear and picturesque, and her eyes were as clear as water.

Xiao Qiye only felt a heat in his chest, and couldn't help but clench her slender waist.

Jiang Xinyue hooked his neck and said in a low voice: "Pray for karma, promise me, when you go back to the palace, you must think of me, miss me, and don't forget me for a day." ”

Xiao Qiye's heart was hot, and he raised his hand next to his temple.

"I, Xiao Qiye, swear to the sky, I only love Jiang Xinyue in this life, I will marry Jiang Xinyue as my wife, love her all my life, respect her and protect her, if I betray my righteousness, I will be punished by arrows through my heart!"

Jiang Xinyue hurriedly stretched out her hand and pressed it on his lips, and said seriously: "Even if you really lose me in the future, I don't want you to die." But I'll forget about you. Never forgive, never see each other. ”

Xiao Qiye touched her forehead, and the corners of her eyes were moist. "Even if I lose myself, I will never fail you."

After that, he took out an object wrapped in brocade from his arms, and when he opened it, it was a longan-sized mutton fat jade pendant, beautifully carved and crystal clear.

Xiao Qiye put the jade pendant in her hand. "Xinyue, this is given to me by my father before he died, it has been passed down from generation to generation by the Li family, and it is more important in my heart than any prosperity in the world. To give it to you today is to give you my life. ”

Jiang Xinyue took the jade pendant and saw that the jade pendant was transparent and flawless, and under the moonlight, it looked even more pure and pure.

She turned her back and ruffled her hair, revealing a thin white gold chain that shimmered in the moonlight.

"Pray, help me take off the necklace."

Xiao Qiye took off the buckle on her chain lightly, and Jiang Xinyue took off the night pearl pendant with a hollow gold frame on it and put it in Xiao Qiye's hand.

"Qiye, this bead is named Nanyu, and it has been carried on me since I was a child and has never left. Thou shalt take it for me today. I hung this jade pendant on the chain. ”

Xiao Qiye stared at the night pearl in his hand, the bead was only larger than a bean, through the golden frame as thin as a hair, it shone faintly but magnificently under the moonlight, which was unforgiving.
