After Rong Wen came to the courtyard, Gu Tan ordered his subordinates to bring out all the accounts prepared in advance, Rong Wen sat at the table and looked through them very carefully, asking Gu Tan a few questions from time to time.

Gu Tan was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe today, and her dark eyes always looked at the girl who was sitting at the table and reading the accounts carefully, frowning from time to time.

Sit down and answer her questions over a cup of tea.

There was an irrepressible smile on Gu Tan's lips, he had been very good to Rong Wen these days, and he could see that this kid trusted him very much, and he respected him as an elder.

He couldn't scare her, he had to take it step by step and make her accept him gradually.

Rong Wen looked at the accounts seriously, and Gu Tan said on the side: "What kind of food does Wen Er like, or what jewelry do you like, tell your uncle that when I come back from out of town this time, I will bring it back to Wen Er." ”

Rong Wen raised his eyes to look at him, but still refused: "Uncle Xie, I really don't need it, it's good to eat in the Hou Mansion, and I don't lack jewelry." ”

Gu Tan took a sip of tea, and looked at the nephew in front of her with some puzzlement in her eyes, her little white face was so tender that she could pinch out the water, and at this moment she faded the fox fur on her body, revealing the graceful figure of a girl, and this girl was very fragrant.

It's just that when he was doing business outside, some women were greedy for his silver, some liked clothes and jewelry, and some liked him to be gentle and loving to her.

She didn't want anything, which made him a little puzzled.

Gu Tan looked at Rong Wen for a while, his Adam's apple rolled, and asked Rong Wen: "Wen Er is also seventeen years old this year, do you have someone you like?" ”

Rong Wen flipped the knuckles of the account book, and her heart, which was completely relaxed, was a little uncomfortable at the moment, and she replied: "No." In order to avoid Gu Tan asking again, Rong Wen pointed to the accounts and asked him several questions in a row.

But in the end, the topic turned to her: "Uncle said something you don't like to hear, although Wen'er was born beautiful, but Shangjing is not Yangzhou after all, the family here pays attention to the right family, even if you have your grandmother to support you, you can only marry into the house as a concubine or as a continuation for others." ”

He pretended to sigh regretfully: "Otherwise, it is a low marriage, your grandmother is unwilling, how can she marry a low-income family and let you suffer, and the concubines in the high-ranking families are better than the low-level wives to eat and clothe." ”

Rong Wen frowned, and looked at Gu Tan in disbelief, the little uncle was very friendly to her a few days ago, and he had the care of an elder for her, today, what is this thinking?

Rong Wen became vigilant, looked towards the door of the house, and asked, "Where is Ye Yi, where did she go?" ”

When her words fell, not only did she not see Ye Yi, but the door of the house was also closed from the outside.

Rong Wen got up immediately, but was stopped by Gu Tan and explained: "Wen'er, sit down and listen to what your uncle says," he paused: "If you want to learn the way of management, I will teach you little by little, there are hundreds of Zhuangzi shops under my name, and they can be handed over to you to take care of." ”

He patted Rong Wen's shoulder comfortingly, Rong Wen subconsciously stepped aside, and suppressed the disgust and fear of the man in front of him in his voice: "I know what my uncle told me, I'm tired of studying today, and I want to go back to the Jingyin Courtyard to rest." ”

Rong Wen said, his eyes searching around the room.

She had learned to protect herself since she was ten years old, and she once picked up a brick from the ground in the alley and smashed it on the head of a boy who said that her mother had run away with another man, and also scratched her face at the woman who scolded her for not having a mother and was a head taller than her.

She's also killed people.

When the prince of Pingjiang wanted to take her back to Shu to be his concubine, she would coax him and stab him in the neck with a silver hairpin to make him die of blood while he was unprepared.

Although she will still panic at this time, she is not afraid.

Gu Tan comforted her: "Wen'er is so nervous about what to do, uncle won't do anything to you, I just want to tell you that there is my business in the north and south of the country, you can go wherever you want, Wen'er, you and I are not related by blood, you can not marry those concubines, you can follow me all over the country." ”

He said excitedly: "Yes, and Shufan, she likes you very much, you can take care of her." ”

Rong Wen held back the nausea in his heart and looked straight at Gu Tan: "I heard what you said clearly, I'm a little tired now and want to go out." ”

Gu Tan didn't expect her to be so well-behaved, she was a smart woman, he had said so far, she could understand what he meant, but not only did she not react too aggressively, nor did she scold him like an ordinary woman, she just obediently replied to his words.

Gu Tan is a shrewd person, he saw the stubbornness in this girl's eyes, maybe other girls would not announce such a thing to outsiders at all, but Rong Wen may not be.

Gu Tan likes her very much, mainly because his daughter also likes her, for so many years, Shufan has a withdrawn temperament and often plays tricks on people, which has always made him very worried, so that the continuation of the string has been delayed again and again, and now, there is a woman he likes and Shufan likes, and he will not let it go easily.

Gu Tan took a step forward and coaxed with a gentle face: "Wen'er, those children of the family look at the glory of the moon, but in fact, the inside is filthy, if you marry into a dead family, you will only suffer a lifetime of sin, follow me to the north and south of the river, and my uncle will protect you." ”

Gu Tan looked at Rong Wen's expression, and took out two ancient sandalwood brocade boxes from his arms, one of them was opened, and inside was a Burmese bell, Rong Wen looked at it vigilantly, a woman who had not left the pavilion, and she didn't know what it was.

Another brocade box was also opened, and inside was a crystal clear jade 'Mr. Jiao', Gu Tan didn't have that kind of mind today, and he wouldn't do such a thing in the Hou Mansion.

But he wanted to break her virginity with his own hands, so that even if she walked out of this door, she would not dare to say a word about what happened in this house.

When a woman's chastity is gone, she has no choice.

Gu Tan coaxed: "Wen'er, you choose by yourself, choose one, it's very gentle, it won't hurt." ”

Rong Wen's emotions at this time had reached the top of her head, and she couldn't hold back her throat pain, and she couldn't hold back the disgust in her heart for the man in front of her, and scolded him fiercely: "Beast." ”

She stepped back and forth, holding an inkstone in her hand and smashing it towards Gu Tan without hesitation, at the same time, she smashed a half-person-high vase on the side, and quickly took a piece of porcelain and landed on her neck: "Everyone in my courtyard knows that I am looking for you, if you want me to die here, you can continue to move forward." ”

The inkstone failed to hit Gu Tan's head and was dodged by him, he didn't expect a delicate woman who was powerless to be so strong, and she actually threatened him in turn.

Gu Tan wanted to coax her to put down the porcelain in her hand first, but suddenly there was a voice in the courtyard.

Gu Tan's heart was cold, and there were few people in the Hou Mansion who could make his people dare not stop him.

He glanced at the secret room behind the screen, and there was already a piece of jade between the index finger and thumb of his right hand hanging down to his side.
