Xie Li chuckled, got off the horse, and said softly, "I didn't expect to see my cousin here. Has my aunt come to Beijing?"
Jia Hanyun, the eldest daughter of the Jia family, got off the carriage first and said, "Today, my sister and I are going to the capital together. After we finish discussing business, mother will also go to the capital to discuss marriage for my brother."
As they were talking, Jia Hanyu also got off the carriage and said happily and excitedly, "I heard there are a lot of food in the capital."
"Eat, eat, eat. You've been thinking about food all the way." Jia Hanyun stretched out his hand and poked his sister Jia Hanyu's forehead.
Jia Hanyu grumbled, "I finally made it to Beijing, but I can't eat or play. What do you want me to do?"
While Jia Hanyu was talking, Chen Qingtang's carriage stopped beside her. She first opened the carriage curtain and looked out. Seeing the two cousins with signs, Chen Qingtang chuckled and said, "There's food and fun. Let your third cousin take you to his shop. But, put your things down first."
After Chen Qingtang got off the carriage, he asked someone to move the Jia family's gift boxes into Xie's house.
Xie Li also wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Chen Qingtang: "Third brother, are you busy today?"
Xie Li nodded and said, "I still need to go to Duan's Bank."
"But your marriage cannot be delayed. I will explain to you more clearly about Miss Sun's previous matter." Chen Qingtang conveyed the Queen's wish to Xie Li.
Xie Li had a vague impression of Sun Qianqian and knew very little about her. He only knew that she lied without blinking and liked to look around.
"Since Her Majesty the Queen doesn't like it, then it won't work." Xie Li said.
Chen Qingtang was stunned when he heard this: "Third brother, you are the one who is marrying a wife, not the Queen. The Queen is just helping you to check. The key is that the third brother must like her. I wonder what the third brother thinks of cousin Jia?"
"Who?" Xie Li was startled and turned his head subconsciously, and saw Miss Jia Er walking out from the moon-shaped door opposite.
I almost got scared by the thank you gift.
"Me and Hanyu?" Xie Li pointed at his nose.
He thought Jia Hanyu was a crybaby.
Moreover, Jia Hanyu had lived in Xie's house for two years. He treated Xie Jinyun and Jia Hanyu as his sisters and spoiled them. Suddenly one day, his family wanted to stuff his sisters into his room to be his wives. This was simply unbelievable, no, it should be said to be very horrifying.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Jia Hanyu walked slowly towards us with a bag of snacks in her hand.
Xie Li didn't react for a moment, and stammered, "No, no, no, no... nothing?"
Chen Qingtang didn't expect Xie Li to react so strongly. Seeing Xie Li stuttering, she picked up her handkerchief and smiled, "I asked your third cousin if he was free today, and I'll take you out for a walk."
"Well, great, great, I'm free." Jia Hanyu smiled happily, and then shared the snacks in his hand with the thank you gift: "It's delicious, Third Brother, have some."
"I won't eat what you've eaten." Xie Li didn't dare to look Jia Hanyu in the eye. He turned his face away and pushed Jia Hanyu's hand away.
Jia Hanyu was puzzled. She looked down at the snacks and said, "I didn't give you what I had eaten."
"Then I won't eat either." Xie Li glanced back at her snacks, then took a step back and said to Chen Qingtang, "Sister-in-law, I have something else to do. I'll go out with cousin Jia and cousin Jia when I arrange time."
After saying this, Xie Li fled away from Xie's house.
Jia Hanyu said, "Hey!" and frowned, "What's wrong with you, third cousin? I haven't seen you for many years, but you seem to be upset."
Chen Qingtang chuckled, stretched out his hand and held Jia Hanyu's hand tightly, saying: "He has been helping the emperor manage the Duan family bank recently, and he is very busy. When he arranges time, he will take you to her shop to have a look. There are many specialties in the capital. I heard that your childhood once lived in Xie's house for two years."
"Yes, my third cousin took me and the Queen sister to the roof and secretly cut Mr. Nanshan's beard. He was spanked ten times by my uncle." Jia Hanyu missed the thank-you gift in the past: "But I feel that my third cousin is estranged from me now."
Chen Qingtang smiled and said, "You are all grown up now, so you can't be like before. Look, the Queen sister is married and has her own baby in her belly. In the future, your third cousin will also marry and have children, including you, my cousin."
"I'm still young, I just came of age, and my mother is worrying about my brother and sister's marriage." Jia Hanyu ate the snacks she got from Old Lady Xie heartlessly. Chen Qingtang saw her innocent nature.
On the other side, after Xie Li went to Duan’s Money House, he was restless the whole day.
Whenever I have free time, Jia Hanyu's face will appear in my mind.
Jia Hanyu loves to eat. She doesn't have a slender figure like a willow. On the contrary, she has a plump figure, fair skin with a rosy glow, and a face as red as a silver basin, just like the flawless white jade he wears on his waist. She is full of endless energy. When you are with her, you will never feel her negative side. She is as innocent as a baby, without any scheming, and will never lie to you.
At least, she wouldn't say that she cooked that table of dishes.
Just then, a carriage slowly stopped in front of him.
A woman got out of the carriage. Xie Li gradually came to his senses. When he saw the woman's face clearly, he frowned again.
Sun Qianqian?
Why is she here again?
Xie Li immediately stood up and turned to go into the hall, not wanting to have too much interaction with Sun Qianqian, but Sun Qianqian stopped him: "Third Master, why did you leave after seeing me?"
Xie Li paused. He felt that there were some things he needed to explain to Sun Qianqian, so he asked her to come in and talk first.
Sun Qianqian happily followed Xie Li into the hall of the money shop.
The hall was full of people who came to thank them for their gifts. Sun Qianqian said, "I have prepared a lot of lunch in the carriage. Everyone here will have a share. Everyone, go out and get it."
The servants all looked towards the thank you gift.
Xie Li frowned and rejected Sun Qianqian: "My kitchen has already ordered people to prepare lunch for them. Miss Sun and my Xie family are not related, so there is no need to trouble Miss Sun with such work. Take your lunch back."
Sun Qianqian's expression changed: "I came to discuss something with the Third Young Master. I haven't had my meal yet, so why not talk while we eat?"
"Talk about business?" Xie Li frowned even more tightly.
Sun Qianqian nodded and said, "I heard that the Third Young Master is going to take over the bank and reopen it to raise money. Those who invest in the bank can get dividends every six months. This is such a good thing, why shouldn't I do it?"
After saying that, Sun Qianqian opened the food basket, which was filled with a string of copper coins and many silver bills.
Although the amount is not small, the money that Xie Li wants to raise is not from one person, but from the wealthy and powerful families.
"Take the money back with you." Xie Li said.
Sun Qianqian frowned and asked, "Third Young Master, do you think it's too little?"
She added: "I can help promote the Third Young Master."
"No need, you must not do this." Otherwise it would ruin his big plan.
Seeing that he didn't like her, Sun Qianqian felt aggrieved. She sat in the same seat she had sat in the first time she came here and said, "Third Master, your attitude this time is different from last time. Do you dislike that I was born not as well as you?"
"No." Xie Li quickly explained: "I never disliked it..."
No, something was wrong. What was there for him to explain to her? It was even more confusing than it should have been.
He stopped talking, turned his back, and said firmly: "Miss Sun, take the money back with you. Don't come to the bank again. Men and women should not touch each other, so as not to ruin Miss Sun's reputation."
Sun Qianqian's eyes were full of resentment. She stood up and picked up the food box, looking at the similar backs of Xie Li and Xie Jinyu. She remembered the husband her mother chose for her after returning to the Sun family, so she had no choice but to give it a try.
Thinking of this, Sun Qianqian rushed to thank him... (End of this chapter)
