Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 165 You Are Not a Chess Piece

"I've helped Hou Yunhai so much, so I should charge some interest!" Qin Xiao sat across from Jin Xi with a smile on his face, without concealing his complacency, "If you can't do this little thing well, Hou Yunhai will still pay you a lot of money!" What face do you have to be a gang leader?"

He, the gang leader, is just helping you cheat?
Jin Xi couldn't help feeling aggrieved for Hou Yunhai, and at the same time a little curious, "What kind of deal did you reach with my uncle in Xianweiju? Listening to what you said, why do you feel more like Hou Yunhai than Hou Yunhai?" The leader of the Cao Gang?"

"I promise your uncle Fuhou Yunhai to take the position of leader, and then the Cao Gang will give me [-]% of the profits every year."

"What?" Jinxi was not calm at all, Cao Gang promised to charge [-]% less of the port fee, and those merchants almost died of joy.Among the income of the Cao Gang, the wharf money is a very small part.[-]% of all proceeds, how much money is this? "Have you finished spending?"

When mentioning money, Qin Xiao's eyebrows and eyes twitched together, and he put on a bitter face, "It's just not too much, otherwise I can borrow money from you?"

Jin Xi took a breath, "You don't raise an army in private, do you want to rebel?"

"What if it is, what are you going to do?" Qin Xiao didn't categorically deny it, and scolded her for talking nonsense, but instead stared at Jinxi with stern eyes.

"Stay away from me, don't trouble me!" Jin Xi rolled his eyes over him, annoyed by his unscrupulous appearance the most.Talking about rebellion is also used as a casual joke, is it boring?
Qin Xiao solemnly repeated, "What if it's true?"

"Then remember to take me with you when you run away!" Jin Xi was disturbed by his solemn expression, and felt that this guy was crazy.Following his train of thought, the more he thought about it, the more hopeless he was, the thoughts in his mind blurted out.

"Your mouth is really unlucky." Qin Xiao hit her on the head with a thud, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Jin Xi was so shocked by his knock that she went crazy.What does it have to do with her whether Qin Xiao escapes or not?Which nerve did she short-circuit and talk nonsense about letting him run away with her?
Bringing up such a heavy topic for no reason, Jin Xi suddenly became depressed, twisting the pieces on the chessboard that hadn't had time to clean them up, and sighed faintly, "It has somehow become a pawn in someone else's hands, the sky is big, the earth is big, where can I escape go?"

Jin Xi was still emotional and high-spirited just now, but in the blink of an eye, his face was sluggish. Qin Xiao felt like he had been hit by a stick, and his heart was in pain. The teacup in his hand was actually crushed by him.

"A round and smooth chess piece will of course be manipulated in the palm of the hand. If it is such a chess piece, the chess player should think about it carefully." Qin Xiao placed a sharp piece of broken porcelain in front of Jinxi, Watching her quietly. "If you don't want to be manipulated by others, don't be a round and smooth chess piece!"

Jin Xi stared at the tea-stained piece of porcelain, and sighed silently, "A sharp chess piece is also a chess piece, what's the difference?"

"Then be a chess player!" Qin Xiao swept all the things on the chessboard to the ground, pointed to the bare chessboard and said with a smile: "Now you are not a chess piece, you are a chess player. Take my dinner first Pay me!"

"Okay!" Jin Xi happily agreed.For the first time in so many days, he willingly cooks and prepares dinner for Qin Xiao.It's not that he is willing to gamble and admit defeat, but he is grateful to him from the heart.Who doesn't feel depressed in a lifetime, when life is worse than death?When she meets someone who is always by her side and willing to enlighten and comfort her, God is actually kind to her.

The Cao Gang's efficiency far exceeded Jin Xi's imagination. Early the next morning, when Jin Xi woke up, he discovered that the merchant ships that had been densely jammed in the river seemed to have evaporated overnight.At this time, apart from the half-sinkable big ship, there was only their official ship left in the river.

"What happened? Where did the boat go?" Jin Xi ran up to the side of the boat in three steps at a time, saw Qin Xiao sneering at the sunken ship on the river with his arms folded, and hurried over to ask.

"You ran up here without even wearing a cloak? Fuck you!" Qin Xiao turned his head and saw Jin Xi coming out wearing only a smoky-colored thin jacket, his brows and eyes raised sharply.He took off the Mo brocade cloak on him with his backhand, and wrapped Jin Xi from head to toe.

"I didn't know it was so cold outside!" The surrounding area was covered with mist, and a gust of wind blew in. Jin Xi suddenly realized what it means to be cold in spring.Quickly wrapped the cloak that still carried Qin Xiao's body temperature tightly, and his body felt warm immediately.

Qing Xing chased out with the cloak in her arms, just in time to see Jin Xi calmly wrapped in Qin Xiao's cloak, the two of them were close together, looking towards Jiang Xin.From time to time, they whispered a few words to each other. From such a distance, she could see Qin Xiao's radiant face, and his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at the girl.

Qing Xing hugged the cloak and didn't know whether to step forward to remind Jin Xi to avoid it, or to retreat quietly so as not to disturb the two of them talking.Yesterday, Ai's mother held her ear and nagged for half the night, asking her to remind the girl not to get too close to Shizi Qin.The girl has a clean heart, never thinks about those nasty things, sometimes she behaves casually, and it is wrong to fall into the eyes of villains with ulterior motives.

You can't affect the girl's reputation because of this!
But she felt that what Ai's mother said was not entirely correct. Although Qin Shizi had a bad reputation, he treated the girl very well.Although sometimes he is vicious, but he is very considerate for the girl no matter what.And Qin Shizi's character doesn't seem to be that bad!

Let's take Qin Ji's case as an example. It was rumored in Anyang that the child was the illegitimate son of Qin Shizi.But she knew best that it was the orphan Qin Shizi risked his life to rescue.

There is also the matter of giving porridge, if it weren't for Shizi Qin giving porridge, how many people in Anyang City would starve to death?

and also……

"What are you doing here?" Although wrapped in Qin Xiao's cloak and blown by the river wind for a while, Jin Xi was still shivering from the cold, turned around to go back to the cabin, and saw Qing Xing hugging her fox when she looked up. The leather cloak stood at the hatch door in a daze.

"It's cold outside, girl, let's go in!" Qing Xing hurriedly shook off the cloak in her hand and wanted to put it on Jin Xi, but Jin Xi shook her head, what else should she wear when she was about to enter the cabin.

After entering the cabin, Jin Xi drank two cups of hot tea before recovering, and then ordered Qing Xing to let the kitchen cook some ginger water for Qin Xiao.Spring is cold to the bone, even practicing martial arts all year round can't help the chill on the water.I put the cloak on for her just now, so don't catch the cold.

Qing Xing took a complicated look at Jin Xi before going to the kitchen, and soon came in with a bowl of red dates and ginger water, "Qin Shizi's portion was sent by Zhou Qingniu, girl, let's drink this bowl while it's hot."

"Okay, there are still a few stitches left to sew. Put it down for a while, and I'll drink it right away." Jin Xi didn't even lift her head, she was concentrating on her sewing.

Qing Xing glanced at the cloak she sewed, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this the cloak of Prince Qin?"

"Yeah!" Jin Xi nodded, "Just now I found a piece scratched, it's okay if I'm free, I can help him sew it up." Feeling that Qing Xing was nailed to her like a wooden stake, Jin Xi raised her head, "Why? gone?"

Qing Xing hesitated for a while, and gathered enough courage to ask, "Does the girl like Qin Shizi?"

"Ah?" Jin Xi was stopped by her sudden question, does she like Qin Xiao?

There is no doubt that she is willing to get along with Qin Xiao.In front of Qin Xiao, she didn't need to deliberately hide her thoughts, her emotions, she was so relaxed that she could indulge.

When encountering difficulties, she is always the first to think of Qin Xiao.And Qin Xiao, without exception, tried his best to help her.Conversely, if Qin Xiao is in trouble, she will help him without hesitation!

Whenever she heard someone say bad things about Qin Xiao, whether it was true or not, she couldn't help but get angry.And every time Qin Xiao made her angry, she would involuntarily make excuses for him.I was so angry that I never thought of ignoring him again.There was even an illusion that he would always be by her side.

Is this like it?
If this is liking, then what is her almost obsessive admiration for Zhao Tingxuan?
"I don't know!" Jin Xi replied honestly, she still doesn't understand what liking is after two lifetimes!

Qing Xing was even more puzzled, "Then why did the girl mend Qin Shizi's clothes?"

"It's nothing, I want to mend it when I see it is broken!" Jin Xi replied casually, but a strange feeling surged in his heart.If this dress belonged to Zhou Qingniu, would she mend it?If it was Zhou Xiyao's, would she make it up?If it was Zhao Tingxuan's, would she make it up?
of course not!

Jin Xi stared blankly at the cloak that had just been mended in her hand, and put aside others, even if the clothes belonged to Zhao Tingxuan, she would not think about it, took the needle and thread and mended it for him as it should be.She is not a good actress, mending Zhao Tingxuan's clothes, she will feel ashamed and feel that her skills are not good enough for him.

It turns out that she has been admiring Zhao Tingxuan's youth from the angle of looking up!

If this is liking, it would be too pitiful and too heavy.Day after day, can she bear it?
"Do you have anything to buy? If not, I'll order the boat to sail." The cabin door was ajar, and when Qin Xiao came in, he saw Jin Xi clutching his cloak in a daze.

Jinxi Lingbuding was startled, the needle in her hand pierced deeply into her flesh, and she let out an 'ah' from the pain.

"Are you okay?" Qin Xiaoteng leaped over and grabbed her hand.Seeing a bright red bead of blood congealed on the slender and white finger, I couldn't help complaining distressedly: "You are not allowed to take needles if you are clumsy!"

Jin Xi was stunned by his distressed complaint, but his heart was as soft as a spring breeze.Looking up and seeing Qin Xiao's dark eyes imprinted with her shadow, Jin Xi's mind thumped, feeling a sense of sudden enlightenment.

No wonder he always said that he was a fool. Isn't she just a fool?
Qin Xiao's emotions had been expressed so clearly that she didn't know anything about it.

"Who does needlework without being pricked a few times with a needle!" Jin Xi forcefully pulled back his fingers, and lowered his head with a red face, how dare he look at Qin Xiao.Not only was she so stupid that she couldn't see Qin Xiao's intentions, but she couldn't even see her own.

At this moment, the question Qing Xing asked just now has an answer.
