Chapter 16 Return to the world
"That doesn't require you to work hard. I can do it myself!"

Her heart ached in panic, "You don't like to show your face since you were a child, you just have to keep an eye on Mu'er for me at home!"

His black pupils were soft and warm, and his face was innocent, "...But, the shop has already opened. The rent cannot be refunded, and the goods are already on the shelves."

Ye Qingluan sighed, "Aren't you just Kanyu? What else do you have? Could it be that you still sell compasses? Or just sell talisman paper?"

She said Dole, and patted his arm, "That's only worth how much! We don't want it!"

"It's the rent. Fortunately, there is an order from the imperial court, and the monthly rent is also limited. I'll go talk to the landlord and see if there is any accommodation."

But he turned his eyes to look at her, "...it's not Kanyu's shop."

Ye Qingluan: "?"

He looked away, revealing a hint of naughtiness.

"I run a grain store."

Ye Qingluan: "!"

She couldn't speak for a while, so she simply stamped on his toes, and then accelerated forward first.

Really...

It turned out to be him!
.
She had been back on the mountain for a long time before he came in with a deer head stick.

Ye Qingluan turned her back and ignored him.

He came over dutifully, and stretched out his hand to help her squeeze her shoulders most naturally.

She was a little uncomfortable, shaking her shoulders to avoid his hand.

Then she turned her head and glared at him, "Why did you hide it from me?"

He stood upright, bowing his head slightly, like a child willing to be taught by her.

As they were when they were young.He is not her uncle, but a child picked up by her.

"...I'm afraid you won't allow it."
.
She was so annoyed, "Okay, if you know I'm not sure, you might as well give me a sneaky cut first and then play!"

She pointed to the outside of the room, "What's the difference between you and Mu'er?"

His black eyes focused, "Mu'er is two years old, I'm twenty...both start with two characters..."

She patted the table, "You mean you two are really the same!"

He bit his lips lightly, "Don't be angry... I was so angry that I broke my body."

Ye Qingluan closed her eyes tightly.

Okay, getting angry is punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes.She restrained.

He opened his eyes again, "But why did you open a grain store?"

He looked serious, "Food is the most important thing for the people, and opening a grain store is the safest business."

Ye Qingluan squinted at him.

OK, at least this sentence makes sense.

"It's reasonable to choose the industry, but not all grain stores in the world make money, and there are also losses and closures."

He lowered his eyes quietly, "Ours won't."

She stared at him: "so confident? Why?"

He sat down slowly and faced her face to face.

"You must have never entered our grain store to see..."

Ye Qingluan's heart moved inexplicably, "What do you mean?"

His dark pupils were dark, "If you go in and take a look, you will believe that our grain store is sure to make money."

She stared at him for a while.What's the meaning?
He met her gaze and smiled inscrutablely.

She really couldn't see any clues, and couldn't hold back until tomorrow morning to see it with her own eyes, so she kicked his calf anxiously, "...What kind of charade are you playing?"

His black pupils were burning, "Because those are the ones you like to eat. With your proof, these goods must be in short supply."

Ye Qingluan stood up in shock, "What did you say?!"
.
The reason why Ye Qingluan was so excited was because she used to be greedy, and the food she muttered to him were all things that Datang should not have for the time being.

For example, sunflower seeds, sweet potatoes, corn;
And her one and only dish—tomatoes in scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

And the peppers in the chili fried pork…

Of course she knew that Datang didn't have these things, so she used to yell casually in front of him by losing her temper when she was pregnant with Mu'er.

But how could she have imagined that he would put everything in front of her like a magic trick!
She asked him, and he just said that he bought it from a Hu merchant who traveled down the mountain.

At that time, she was pregnant, and she couldn't immediately go down the mountain to seek proof from Hu Shang.

She looked back and thought, it was possible.After all, even if Datang didn't have these things, it doesn't mean that Hu merchants who traveled in Europe and Asia didn't have them.

It's just that people at that time didn't realize that these things were delicious, so no one sold them as food.

He raised his eyes and smiled, "Our products are the only ones in Chang'an; and you like to eat them all, so how can the business not be good?"

Ye Qingluan stared at him, not knowing what to say.

She thought for a while, then sat down with a sigh, "Those things are unfamiliar to ordinary people, and they don't know how delicious they are."

He raised his eyes quietly, "It's okay, I'll make it for them to taste."

Her eyes widened, "You, do?"

He nodded seriously, "Naturally."

Anyway, she won't.

Ye Qingluan had a stomachache, "You mean, you want to run the grain store yourself?"

He laughed, "Otherwise?"

"Or, you closed Xipu and turned to only do the grain store business?"

She gave him a white look, "Don't even think about it!"

She chose to be Xi Niangzi because of her professional status, which is convenient for her to travel around the house, and she can inquire about the case of the master's family back then.If she was doing other work, she would have to be fixed in the shop.

He stared at her with a smile, "Therefore, naturally I will go."

"No!" She flatly refused.

When the master gate was destroyed, only she and him escaped.The enemy of Miemen still doesn't know who it is, if he shows up in public, what if the enemy finds out?

——She pretends to be old and ugly, just to deceive others!

He lowered his eyes quietly, "Don't worry, I have my own way of blinding my eyes."

She felt her stomach constrict, and she had to bow down.

"...I can't do it if I say no."

It's only been three years, and she hasn't been strong enough to protect him.If he showed his face in public, if there was anything wrong, how could she forgive herself!

She closed her eyes lightly, "There's Mu'er too. You promised me that you will take care of the child after it is born."

Mu'er was her shame. When she was pregnant with the child, she wanted to get rid of the child countless times.

He was the one who stopped her and swore to her that the child would not make things difficult for her after it was born, everything was his.

He reached out and gently held her elbow, "Relax."

"Mu'er is two years old and is about to grow up. You can't keep him in the mountains forever, with birds and beasts in the forest. You have to let him walk in the world, don't you think?"

"But!" She was so painful that her whole body was about to slump, "What should I do if something happens?!"

He got up and gently supported her, "There is me."

She gritted her teeth and stared at him, "You? Why? With your puppets?"

"They can pretend to be human, but you have to use your blood to control them! How much blood do you have in total, and how long can you control them!"

"Mu Youzi, please be realistic. We can't do it, at least for now, not yet!"

He pulled his cloak around her body, his black pupils were quiet.

"trust me."
