Yuan Qingqing was very impressed by Yan Qinghan that night, there are few men with such grandeur in Jiangnan, he is so talented, and his appearance is also a leader, judging by his words and deeds, he must be not low.

Seeing Yuan Qingqing with an expectant glint in his eyes, Shen Yanshu knew that this person must have some calculations in his heart, so he just chuckled lightly and said, "Why does Miss Yuan care so much about my family affairs?"

"I'm just curious, what kind of man would be worthy of a woman like Miss Shen?" Yuan Qingqing said.

Shen Yanshu said: "Before the women of the family left the cabinet, except for those who have a close relationship, few people ask about relatives when they meet for the first time, maybe I have been in Chang'an for too long, and my knowledge is shallow, and I don't know that Jiangnan women are so enlightened." ”

This means that Yuan Qingqing is cheeky, obviously they have only met for the first time, but they pretend to be very familiar and ask about other people's relatives, which is really rude, Jiangnan women are famous for being virtuous and gentle, but Shen Yanshu said that she was open-minded, isn't she just slapping her in the face?

Even if Yuan Qingqing was stupid, she could hear Shen Yanshu's extraneous voice, and she said: "It's me who is too abrupt, but I have an inexplicable sense of intimacy when I see Miss Shen, and I can't speak incoherently." ”

Xiao Nansheng listened to it and only wanted to laugh, his cousin, the cold temperament of the stranger, who still felt kind?

Shen Yanshu just didn't want to entangle with Yuan Qingqing anymore, and said: "If Miss Yuan has nothing else to do, I will go back and rest first. ”

Yuan Qingqing said: "It's okay, wait for Miss Shen to get better in a few days, and then invite me to play together, so that I can do my best to be a landlord, and Miss Shen will not shirk it at that time." ”

Shen Yanshu still didn't change his face and said: "I'll talk about the future later." ”

Yuan Qingqing couldn't get off the stage for a while, she just wanted to say that she had brought a gift to Shen Yanshu, but before she could say anything, she saw Shen Yanshu's back already walking out of the front hall.

"Miss Yuan, you see ......" Xiao Nansheng saw that his cousin didn't give Yuan Qingqing any face, so he didn't plan to stay as a guest.

Yuan Qingqing said: "It seems that the threshold of your Xiao family is too high, and my little prefect's daughter doesn't pay attention to it." ”

Xiao Nansheng's expression was grim, and he said: "Miss Yuan, where is this, my cousin has never liked to make friends with people, and it is the same in Chang'an, no one else minds, so why should Miss Yuan mind?"

Yuan Qingqing laughed angrily: "Xiao Gongzi is saying that I have a small amount of energy?"

"Don't dare. ”

"Why don't you dare, your Xiao family has some financial resources, and now you have climbed the big tree of the Shen family, so you naturally disdain my father. Yuan Qingqing didn't even bother to pretend.

Her father Yuan Jing'an hinted at the Xiao family several times, if the Xiao family can join forces with the Yuan family, naturally both families can benefit, and there are many things where officials and businessmen join forces, but he didn't expect that the Xiao family would not eat this at all.

On weekdays, he is respectful to the prefect, and those who should be filial are the same as other Shang clans, and they can't find anything wrong.

Hearing Yuan Qingqing's outspokenness, Xiao Nansheng couldn't help it even if his temper was good, and said, "If Miss Yuan talks about this today, I just want to say that our Xiao family has a clear conscience. ”

Yuan Qingqing's face was not good-looking, she just snorted coldly, and waved her sleeves and left.

Xiao Nansheng looked at the back of Yuan Qingqing leaving, his eyes were deep, he groaned for a while, and walked towards Shen Yanshu's courtyard.

Yuan Qingqing just walked out of the door of Xiao's house angrily, and saw a familiar figure, and when she looked at it, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the man who was about to go out in front of her was not the man she saw at the Flower Temple Fair that day?

She just wanted to step forward, but she hesitated.

grabbed a maid from the Xiao Mansion next to him and asked, "Who is that son?"

The maid took a closer look before she said, "That's Han Gongzi, the fiancé of our cousin." ”

"He also lives in your mansion?" Yuan Qingqing asked again.

The maid nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Yuan Qingqing had a number in her heart, what she couldn't find out from Shen Yanshu actually let her go out and bump into her, isn't this fate?

At this time, Yan Qinghan was going out to drink with Mo Bai, and his irritability was nowhere to vent.

Shen Yanshu, this woman really doesn't know what to do, he followed her from Chang'an to Jiangzhou, she was good, even if she didn't have a trace of emotion, she even said that she was useless.

In the past, he could endure listening to others openly and secretly sarcastically that he wouldn't live long, but when it came out of Shen Yanshu's mouth, it was like a poisonous needle, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that there was a tavern not far away, he was just about to walk in the direction of the tavern, when suddenly something fell towards him, he subconsciously flashed to the side, and squinted slightly at the person who fell to the ground.

"Ahh

Yuan Qingqing fell directly to the ground, screaming in pain, she originally wanted to fall directly on Yan Qinghan's body, but she didn't expect him to dodge it, which made her fall hard.

Seeing Yan Qinghan looking at him puzzled, Yuan Qingqing stared at him with teary eyes and said, "I accidentally broke my foot while walking just now and fell, can the son help the little girl up?"

Yan Qinghan glanced at the two maids next to Yuan Qingqing, ignored her, and went directly in the direction of the tavern.

"Childe!" Yuan Qingqing just wanted to step forward, but there was a tearing pain in his ankle, and he fell to the ground again.

The two maidservants stood aside, thinking that it was played by her young lady again, but they stood motionless.

Yuan Qingqing said angrily: "What are you still looking at here! Hurry up and help Miss Ben up!"

When the two maids heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but Yuan Qingqing still felt a terrible pain in her ankle.

"Miss, you may have really broken your foot. A maid said.

Yuan Qingqing became even more angry when she heard this: "You two dead girls, you actually watched me fall down like this! If I had three long and two short, I would be as good-looking as you!"

The maid lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, but she was aggrieved in her heart, obviously it was what the young lady just said, don't come forward to make trouble, just watch from the sidelines.

Seeing Yan Qinghan walk into a tavern, Yuan Qingqing said in her heart that it was fake not to regret it, and she didn't exist!

Could it be that she really can't compare to that cold Shen Yanshu?

However, since he knew that he was living in the Xiao family now, he was naturally not in a hurry at this time.

"Why don't you hurry up and help me go to the hospital!" Yuan Qingqing yelled at the two maids.

The maid dared not to obey, so she gently helped her up and walked slowly in the direction of the medical hall.

Xiao Nansheng walked to Shen Yanshu's courtyard and saw that she was instructing Xiyan to prepare something.

"Cousin. ”

Shen Yanshu turned around, saw Xiao Nansheng, and said with a smile: "Why did my cousin come over?

Xiao Nansheng smiled bitterly: "I left in a huff." ”

Shen Yanshu saw Xiao Nan's appearance and asked, "Am I causing trouble for my cousin?"

"Nothing. Xiao Nansheng said, "The relationship between the Xiao family and the Yuan family is not very good, although they are officials, but they can't do anything about the Xiao family." ”

Shen Yanshu nodded and said with a smile: "I know, the Xiao family has people in Chang'an who are well-informed, so Governor Yuan doesn't dare to increase taxes at will to embarrass you businessmen." ”

Xiao Nansheng smiled faintly and did not deny it.

Behind every business there must be a certain amount of government power, in order to make the business bigger, to put it nicely, things are united, and to put it ugly, it is collusion between officials and businessmen.

People in the industry will know it, so it is not taboo, but to really make the business bigger, you still have to choose the right person.

"By the way, how could you provoke Yuan Qingqing?" Xiao Nansheng asked.

Shen Yanshu said: "We went to Jiangnan together, you naturally know that I have no contact with others, except for yesterday's temple fair, I have hardly been out, how can I provoke her?"

Xiao Nansheng thought about it, and said: "It's better not to provoke the people of the Yuan family, Yuan Jing'an has served as the prefect of Jiangzhou for more than a year, and he has done nothing, so he wants to get some oil and water to give to the eldest princess of Pingle, so that he can be promoted earlier!"

His tone was very disdainful, but Shen Yanshu was puzzled: "This person from the Yuan family is actually the eldest princess of Pingle?"

Xiao Nansheng said "um" and said: "More than a year ago, this Yuan Jing'an was just a small translator of the prefect's yamen, and then the Zhenbei General's Mansion fell, and a branch of the Zhenbei Army happened to come to Jiangnan to control the floods. ”

"So this Yuan Jing'an curryed favor with the eldest princess and got the position of this prefect?" Shen Yanshu asked, "What about the detachment of the Zhenbei Army later?"

Xiao Nansheng said: "That's true, but that army refused to return to the court, and even wanted to kill the horse Qiao Zhanwen, but the number of troops led by Qiao Zhanwen made them powerless to resist, and finally in the coastal areas along the river, they became water cowards, enemies of the court, and often hijacked the government's transport ships, but it was not difficult for ordinary people." ”

Shen Yanshu and Xi Yan glanced at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that this army to control the flood was the most powerful team in Qi Yi's hands, led by Que Wu, and was sent to Jiangnan before Qi Yunge became married.

"Then since Qiao Zhanwen didn't recover the Zhenbei Army, how did he deal with it?" Xiyan asked, because she remembered very well that later the horse recovered the Zhenbei Army and returned to Chang'an, and the emperor rewarded him for this, so he used the current Qiao family so much.

"It's all right to say this to you, but don't say it outside. Xiao Nansheng knew that they were not tongue-in-cheek people, so he said, "This mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what they want to do, the emperor will naturally not know, the horse can't be recovered, so the Zhenbei army is forced to become a rogue, but at the same time, a group of mountain bandits were recruited, and they surrendered to the court under the banner of the Zhenbei army, so they paid the errand and were rewarded." ”

"What-"

Shen Yanshu was surprised when he heard Xiao Nansheng's words.

Let the mountain bandits pretend to be the Zhenbei Army?

Xiyan said: "No wonder it was later rumored that the Zhenbei Army had a bad style after returning to Shun, looted many times, and was finally cleaned up by Xue Ziqing, but the reputation of the Zhenbei Army also deteriorated a lot." ”

Shen Yanshu has a year less memory than them, so naturally he doesn't know these things, but now that he listens to it, he only feels cold.
