"This slave and maid are not clear," Bai Zhi shook her head a little confused, and then cheered up and said, "If the young lady cares, the slave and maid will go to find out to you later!" ”

"Forget it."

Dou Lianyi thought about it, but still waved his hand and refused without interest.

"What is the young lady going to do today?"

"Let's take a look at the shop."

After packing up, Dou Lianyi remembered that today was the day of the month to collect rent from those shops, so he asked Bai Zhi to bring him a set of slightly more formal clothes.

"What does the young lady think of this?"

Dou Lianyi glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, wearing a short sunset purple jacket with a crescent moon white background and a dark pattern gold thread skirt, which was not to be underestimated, but not too dazzling.

"Good."

After that, Dou Lianyi easily picked out a white jade and golden hairpin from the dresser on the table and inserted it obliquely into the bun.

The carriage outside the county king's mansion had been waiting for a while, and when he saw Dou Lianyi and Bai Zhi getting into the sedan chair, the horseman rushed to the direction of the market with a whip.

After patrolling the shops, he collected all the rent that should be collected, and looked at the bulging purse, and the corners of Dou Lianyi's mouth couldn't be suppressed.

Even Bai Zhi was a little overwhelmed, and whispered a word of persuasion: "Young lady, don't laugh, the big guys are watching us." ”

"Ahem."

was reminded by Bai Zhi like this, Dou Lianyi also restrained his emotions and returned to his usual plain expression.

When Dou Lianyi walked out of the bank after depositing the silver ticket, he saw Qin Mu in purple sitting at the tea stall across the street.

happened to be very close to the color she was wearing today, if it weren't for Dou Lianyi knowing that the clothes she changed today were just a temporary idea, she would have wondered if Qin Mu's eyeliner was planted beside her.

Qin Mu waved to her leisurely and motioned for her to come over and have a drink together.

Originally, Dou Lianyi just wanted to turn around and leave as if he didn't see it, but Qin Mu cleared his throat and raised his voice and shouted to her: "Miss Dou, this way!" ”

"Young lady, it's Gongzi Qin."

Bai Zhi thought that the young lady hadn't heard, so she reminded her.

However, Dou Lianyi raised his hand to hide his face and pretended to block the sun, stunned not to look across the street, and even his pace sped up a little.

"Miss Dou, here, don't go to the wrong place."

Qin Mu's voice was a little more enthusiastic, and when he saw him like that, he was afraid that he wouldn't stop if he didn't go over.

Seeing that the people on the street began to look curiously at this time, Dou Lianyi could only stomp his feet and turn around and walk over if he was reluctant.

"Miss Dou, please drink tea."

Qin Mu didn't see the displeasure on Dou Lianyi's face at all, but instead pushed the tea bowl on the table to her with a smile.

Dou Lianyi happened to be thirsty, she didn't want to be polite to Qin Mu, so she finished the whole bowl of tea in one go.

The tea soup was cool and warm, and there was a faint smell of Chinese herbs, which made Dou Lianyi couldn't help but just want to praise it, but the next second, Qin Mu's slow words came from his ears.

"This tea clears the eyes and nourishes the mind, and it is also excellent for restoring ear power, and it is very suitable for Miss Dou to drink."

Dou Lianyi's movements stagnated slightly, she put down the tea bowl, raised her eyebrows and glanced at the smiling Qin Mu.

"Qin Gongzi, is this sarcastic about my deafness and blindness?"

"Miss Dou, what do you mean by this?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu's eyes widened innocently, and he defended: "I just saw you walking all the way, and the weather was hot and dry, so I just thought about inviting you to drink a bowl of tea soup, if I let Miss Dou misunderstand my sincerity because of my stupid mouth, it would be really wronged." ”

When Qin Mu said the words "a piece of sincerity", the body of the guest sitting on the wooden table behind him suddenly moved slightly.

However, Qin Mu only did not notice.

"How do you know I've walked all the way? You haven't been secretly following me! ”

Dou Lianyi frowned, his eyes as bright as stars stared at Qin Mu tightly, wanting to see some clues from his face.

"Miss Dou, I'll tell you the truth, most of the shops on this street are also mine, and today is the day of rent collection at the beginning of the month, so I will appear here."

As soon as the words fell, the owner of the tea stall also sent another plate of honey and peanuts with a flattering face, rubbed his hands and asked Qin Mu in a low voice: "Boss Qin, do you see if this month's rent can be postponed for a few days, business is really bad during this time, there are old people in my family, and there are small ones, this ......"

He said cautiously while secretly observing Qin Mu's face, for fear of making the other party unhappy.

"Like it? Try. ”

Qin Mu didn't pay attention to him, but gestured to Dou Lianyi for the dish of honey peanuts.

After she put one in her mouth and nodded, Qin Mu casually turned her head to the tea stall owner who was bent over and said, "Then you will be exempted from this month's rent, who will let Miss Dou like to eat your honey peanuts?" ”

"Thank you, Miss Dou, thank you, Boss Qin!"

The owner of the tea stall was also a discerning person, and knew that Qin Mu had sold this favor to the good-looking girl in front of him, so he nodded and thanked him before retreating.

Dou Lianyi accepted this favor for nothing, and it was not good to treat Qin Muheng coldly, plus this person was indeed just a little sloppy, but he didn't do anything to hurt himself.

Thinking like this, Dou Lianyi asked for another bowl of tea soup, his tone softened, and said to Qin Mu: "I have also drunk the tea, and I have also seen the financial resources of Qin Gongzi, I don't know what else Qin Gongzi has to say?" ”

"Yes, it's about the business dealings between the county king's mansion and me, but let's talk about it in detail in another place, what do you think?"

Halfway through his words, Qin Mu paused, he approached as he covered it with his cuffs, lit tea soup with his hand, and wrote a few words on the table.

"Someone is eavesdropping."

A burst of apricot blossom fragrance loomed, Dou Lianyi's heart jumped slightly, he originally thought that he was relapsing again, and just wanted to push him away, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw what he wrote.

She was stunned for a moment, but then immediately reacted and responded to Qin Mu in the same way.

After the two reached a consensus, Dou Lianyi stood up and said lightly: "Gongzi Qin is a safe person, so I'll see you in Runxiang Building the day after tomorrow." ”

Qin Mu nodded, "Everything depends on what you want, Miss Dou." ”

After Dou Lianyi left with Bai Zhi, Qin Mu was still sitting in place looking at the other party's back, and only after a while did he reluctantly get up and leave.

The Prince's Mansion.

In Lu Lianzhi's house, she was sitting at a table and whispering to a housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground with a black mole under his right eye.

"What do you say? Really fake! ”

"Back to the second miss's words, the little one could never hear it wrong, the young lady and the son were sitting behind me at that time, and every word was clear!"
