Invincible son

Chapter 688 Chapter 687 [Life is like summer flowers]

In the afternoon, the horse-drawn carriage from Zhongshanhou's Mansion went to Jinsha Square in Nancheng, and arrived at the door of the merchant at the east end of Hulu Street.

Pei Yue and Ye Qi sent Shang Xiaomei home, and then the carriage turned to the northwest.

About half an hour later, the carriage appeared on Beifu Street, Changlefang, Xicheng.

To this day, Qinyuan still maintains a mysterious image. Except for the identity of the crow of Taishitai Pavilion, ordinary people dare not approach it at all.The north side of Beifu Street was completely bought by Pei Yue, and the entire building complex was surrounded by curtains. Unless one could fly in the air and observe from a high position, the pattern of Qinyuan could not be clearly seen at all.

At the wedding banquet more than two months ago, Pei Yue whetted the appetites of the nobles in Kyoto with a spirit called Pozhenzi, and both Liyuan and Bamboo House were impacted to varying degrees.Now Pei Yue has figured out the details of the manor and pavilions in the capital. Qibao Pavilion was once the cornucopia of the first prince, and Xianyun Manor was the place where the fourth prince raised his eyes.

The owner of the bamboo building is the second prince, and the real owner behind Li Yuan is the sixth prince.

Because the heels in these places are hard enough, they can take the lead in Kyoto.The bamboo building sells the world's best wine, but customers are not allowed to take the wine out of the building.On the [-]th floor of Liyuan, there are [-] oirans sitting in charge, many of them were bought directly from brothels elsewhere, if it wasn't for the big shots that they couldn't afford to provoke, who would do such a stupid business?
Needless to say, Qibao Pavilion, even Pei Yue, who was emerging at the time, was not taken seriously by Xu Song, which shows how overbearing their expansion methods were in the past few years.

As for Xianyunzhuang...

Pei Yue shook his head slightly, Emperor Kaiping said that he had never forced the prince, but the problem is that you are not willing to set up a heir. Isn't this another form of raising Gu?If the prince could be established early, Liu Zan might not have embarked on that dead end. After all, this is the bitter fruit brewed by Emperor Kaiping himself.

Even so, the eldest prince may not be able to successfully become the crown prince. Pei Yue thought that it would be difficult for Emperor Kaiping to persuade those civil servants in the court.

"Did you come up with this garden yourself?"

Ye Qi just felt dizzy along the way, and this place was obviously not just a single wine shop, and there were so many ingenious things that she felt at a loss for words.

Pei Yue nodded and said, "That's right, do you think my image in your heart has become more stalwart?"

Ye Qi rolled his eyes at him, took the initiative to hold his forearm, and said with a light smile, "Bah, I'm getting more and more shameless."

Today, there is no one else in Qinyuan, which is a rare and quiet environment for Ye Qi. After all, Pei Yue has a high position and power, so it is difficult to be as leisurely as before.

The main structure of Qinyuan has been completed, and the interior decoration progress is also nearing completion.This is all thanks to Wang Yong and Chen Danian. They have hardly been home in the past six months, and they have devoted themselves to the construction and improvement of Qinyuan. Not only must they implement Pei Yue's design, but they must also manage nearly a thousand craftsmen and countless Countless civilian husbands have made great achievements in hard work.

Pei Yue walked around with Ye Qili, and couldn't help but think of the scene of shopping with his girlfriend in his previous life.

It seems that no matter which world, women's fighting power in this area is beyond the reach of men.

The Qin Garden covers a very large area, and there are no waiters and guides arranged yet. If Pei Yue hadn't designed this garden himself, he would probably get lost in it.After wandering around for a while, Ye Qi gradually became confused, until Pei Yue led her through a bamboo grove, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Looking at the neat row of houses opposite, she asked, "Is this the back street?"

Pei Yue nodded, wanted to hold her hand but Ye Qi avoided him because there were already pedestrians.

Ye Qi looked at him with a half-smile.

Pei Yue tentatively asked, "How about we go back for a stroll?"

"Stop it!"

Of course Ye Qi would not be fooled, and said softly: "Don't forget that you still have business to do today."

Pei Yue let out a long sigh, and said leisurely: "I really want to kill her directly."

Knowing that he was just joking, Ye Qi looked left and right, took his hand suddenly and said, "Let's go."

Although there were not many pedestrians on the street, Pei Yue and Ye Qi's appearance and temperament were too eye-catching, and their holding hands naturally attracted curious eyes.Ye Qi pursed his lips lightly, trying not to show murderous intent to those eyes, and walked forward quickly, but a blush had already crept up on his cheeks unknowingly.

Pei Yue held Ye Qi's palm with his backhand, and said softly: "Forget it, as long as you are willing to keep going, I will not kill her for the time being."

Ye Qi wanted to throw this guy out directly.

The two walked through the street behind Qinyuan, then entered an alley, and walked around for a while to the door of a single-family house.

Several capable figures suddenly appeared around, and they saluted Pei Yue at the same time: "See Lord Hou."

Pei Yue waved his hand, then pushed open the door, walked in with Ye Qi, and those people disappeared immediately, as if they had never appeared at all.

This is a spacious courtyard with three entrances. Although it cannot be compared with the rich and powerful mansions, it is better than clean and leisurely.

There is a stone table in the corner of the atrium, and a young woman is sitting at the table, holding an ordinary wine cup in her hand.

Pei Yue and Ye Qi came to sit down opposite her, snorted softly and said, "You are very interested."

Chen Xizhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this what you want to see? Soothe your sorrows with wine, wash your face with tears, live in a corner, and feel tired."

Pei Yue said expressionlessly: "Do you think I care how you live?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ye Qi felt helpless, and at the same time, because of this matter, he always apologized to Pei Yue, so he had to change the subject and said: "Qinyuan is about to open."

Chen Xizhi stared at her, and said in a little disbelief: "You actually passed on the exercises passed down by master to Pei Yue, and you don't even mind him teaching the emperor. Ye Qi, have you ever thought that one day the emperor will use this trick?" To deal with Pei Yue, what should you do then? Just break into the palace and kill all the court guards, and then force the emperor to wake up?"

Pei Yue's attitude towards this house was that he was allowed to enter but not to leave, that is, Chen Xizhi was allowed to know part of the outside situation, but he was not allowed to spread a word.This is to prevent Chen Xizhi from really going crazy, and besides, he is not in the habit of playing tricks on trivial matters.Since she was allowed to live because of Ye Qi, Pei Yue would not make things difficult on purpose.

With Chen Xizhi's scheming and vision, it is not difficult to see the secret behind the emperor's poisoning.

Ye Qi was not the kind of person who had no opinion, she looked at Chen Xizhi in puzzlement and said, "What do I have to do with you?"

Pei Yue took up the conversation and said, "I just came here today to tell you that Qinyuan will open soon, but my thoughts have changed a bit."

Chen Xizhi frowned slightly.

Pei Yue didn't take it seriously, and continued: "I asked you to help Ye Qi with some trivial matters earlier, it was because I didn't think carefully. From now on, Ye Qi will send Qinyuan's accounts here at the beginning of every month, and you will be responsible for the inspection All the accounts of last month. As for the specific operation of Qinyuan, judging from the current situation, we don’t need to think about it at all, it is obvious that we can collect money as long as we open the door.”

Chen Xizhi's eyes gradually became angry.

Pei Yue turned his head to look at Ye Qi, and said with a wry smile: "It's in vain that I have worked so hard to come up with so many tricks, but now it seems that it's just icing on the cake."

Ye Qi understood the deep meaning of his words. When he was preparing to build Qinyuan after returning to Beijing, Pei Yue's idea was to establish his own personal connections through Qinyuan, and use money exchanges to tie those important figures worthy of friendship to his boat.In order to achieve this goal, Pei Yue not only designed the layout of Qinyuan early, but also prepared a lot of means in advance, such as breaking the time, sausage powder and ice-making techniques, so as to make Qinyuan the only place in the world for recreation.

However, people are not as good as heaven, Emperor Kaiping's trust in Pei Yue is getting deeper and deeper, and the King Yan's treason case was easily resolved by Pei Yue, his prestige even surpassed Wang Pingzhang during this period, and he wanted to take a stake in Qinyuan to please him The rich and powerful are innumerable.

For the past half month, Pei Yue has been able to see banknotes offered by others almost every day, and half of Qinyuan's shares have been sold, even so, many people have been turned away.

The current Qinyuan has trampled on the Zhulou and Liyuan before it even opened. Even with the passage of time, Pei Yue cannot maintain this terrifying prestige for a long time. With Qinyuan's current shareholder lineup, it is enough to sweep away all the leading merchants. .

With things developing to this point, why does Pei Yue need Chen Xizhi's advice?

"You asked me to be your accountant?" Chen Xizhi said through gritted teeth.

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "It's not the cashier, it's just checking the accounts. Do you think I will hand over the money to you?"

Chen Xizhi looked at the mockery in his eyes, and couldn't help trembling with anger.

"By the way, I discussed with Ye Qi that the money of your Chen family will be returned to the original owner. I am different from you, no matter whether I kill you or not, I will not seek to seize your Chen family's property. The wealth saved by a girl from the Chen family."

When mentioning Chen Qingchen, Pei Yue's tone couldn't hide a trace of respect, which made Chen Xizhi startled slightly, and half of his anger dissipated unknowingly.

Pei Yue returned to the topic just now, and said indifferently: "You have no choice about checking the accounts, and I will not give you the right to choose."

He glanced at the sunset glow in the sky, got up and said, "At least you are still alive."

There was a bit of chill in these words, Ye Qi looked at her worriedly.

Pei Yue shook his head slightly, and said softly, "I'll wait for you outside."

After he left, Ye Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, suppressed the impatience in his heart almost with all his strength, looked at Chen Xizhi and said: "Senior Sister, I hope this is not the last time I call you Senior Sister, please don't make things difficult for me. "

Chen Xizhi was silent for a long time, recalling Pei Yue's last words carefully, he suddenly felt a little cold, even though it was already summer.

She smiled miserably, and said in a complicated tone: "I remember."

Ye Qi was speechless and let out a long sigh.

Today's situation is because she really couldn't do it at that time, and it was the only time in her life that she broke her promise to others.

Although Pei Yue did not separate from her because of this, the guilt in her heart became deeper and deeper as time went by.

After a while, Ye Qi walked out of the house slowly, and saw Pei Yue standing by the roadside. When she saw her appear, he smiled and said softly, "Let's go, let's go home."

There was no trace of resentment on his face.

Ye Qi stared at him blankly, even though he was holding his hand, he didn't resist.

"Go home..." she muttered to herself.

In the eyes of many people, although Ye Qi is a daughter, he is like a god of death in the sky, as if he has no emotion and can kill all enemies without expression.However, Pei Yue knew that she had lost the protection of her parents since she was a child, and grew up alone and strong. She was accompanied by a spear all day long, and she did not have a normal childhood and adolescence at all.

It was not easy to have Chen Xizhi as a friend, but they parted ways because of different perceptions.

Still alone.

Still lonely.

Until the appearance of Pei Yue, the picture scroll of her life became a little brighter.

But for Pei Yue, Ye Qi's appearance is not the case?
Holding Ye Qi's hand, Pei Yue said softly, "Home is where you are."

Ye Qi suddenly turned his head away, a crystal drop fell to the ground in his eyes.

On the bluestone ground, teardrops shattered, reflecting the backs of a pair of young men and women drifting away.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yue asked.

"It's okay, my eyes are a little sour."

Ye Qi met Pei Yue's concerned gaze, and smiled lightly, like a summer flower.
