Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 84
Only now did Shen Xinniang look sideways at him, but she could no longer find in her tone the feeling of bewilderment when she asked him, "Have you seen him before", that cautious and apprehensive tone that made people want to protect him.

There was only indifference in the cold voice, "20 guan."

"Deal." It seemed like he hesitated for a moment, afraid that she would go back on his word.

The wise and wise young master of the Qin family has never been so eager for business.

20 million guan!

When Jin Xiang took the flying money and boarded the black-covered boat for the return trip, she couldn't help thinking about it.

She is the maid who is close to the master, and her monthly salary has just risen to ten guan, which is already top among the maids.

20 guan!How long does she have to earn?

Just a bracelet?Just a bracelet? !

Jin Xiang was carrying flying money, even though it was Shen Xinniang who handed it to her personally.

But she felt like a thief, her chest and heart were burning hot.

When the black-padded boat slid into the dark river, it suddenly heard the sound of weapons colliding.

Clank from far to near, more and more hurried.

Jin Xiang was startled, and hurried to Shen Xinniang.

The boatman who was rowing the boat also heard the sound, "Sit still, lady!"

After finishing speaking, he turned the bow of the boat and rowed to the villa again.

Although the boat floated extremely fast on the water.

But the sound of fighting still followed closely behind, and I couldn't shake it off.

"What's going on, who dares to make trouble on the Qin family's land?" The boatman spat, and wanted to go up to see the situation, but seeing the two delicate girls sitting in the boat, he could only hold back .

Suddenly, feathered arrows came through the air.

The boatman standing on the bow waved his bamboo pole to avoid it, but he almost fell into the water.

"Damn..."

He just cursed.

Then he heard an angry voice, "Don't shoot arrows——"

"It's the prince's voice!" Jin Xiang was pleasantly surprised, she stood up abruptly, bumped her head against the boat canopy, rubbed her head and sat down again.

"What's going on? Are you really eagle claws?" The boatman frowned and scolded.

A small boat leaped over the water like a feathered arrow.

Fang Yan stood at the bow of the boat, holding a long sword in his hand, his face was extremely cold.

On his honey-colored face, his tightly pursed lips revealed his extreme displeasure.

Jin Xiang quickly got out of the canopy and waved: "My lord, my lord, my lady is here!"

Fang Yan heard the sound and looked sideways.

Inside the awning boat, the black gauze flutters with the wind.The woman under the black veil is as silent as water.

Fang Yan jumped up and came to the boat that Shen Xinniang was riding on.

The boatman picked up the bamboo pole and was about to beat him.

Fang Yan blocked it casually, and the boatman fell into the water with a plop.

He leaned over to her side.His deep eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.

After looking at her well-being and calm demeanor, he was relieved, but there was a faint anger in his heart.

"What's the matter with you, I don't know, do you want to tell me first?" Fang Yan raised his hand to take off her fence, looking straight into her eyes and said.

Shen Xinniang looked at him indifferently.

What attracted him the most at the beginning was her eternal calmness and indifference.

But now she is the one who annoys him the most. No matter what other people are anxious about, she is always calm and indifferent.

"Get rid of the hidden guard, you don't know that I will..." He gritted his teeth, but he didn't want to soften his tone and admit his concern.

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly, "I see."

"You know?" He frowned and asked in a bad tone.

Shen Xinniang looked at his handsome face, at his deeply frowned brows, at his deep and concerned eyes, "I know, you are worried."

Fang Yan was a little annoyed, "Since you know, why take the risk?"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes, "I just want to consign something."

The indifferent tone seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.

Fang Yan couldn't help but grab her wrist, forcing her to look up at him, "You need money, can't you tell me? What do you need to do, can't you let me know? You know you're worried about you, you... "

He gritted his teeth and held back.

Shen Xinniang looked at him bluntly, "Who do you think I am?"

Fang Yan was taken aback.

Shen Xinniang moved the wrist that he was holding, but he held it tighter.

"Who should I take you for?" Shen Xinniang sighed and asked again.

Fang Yan gritted his teeth and pursed his lips. For a while, he couldn't answer her simple question.

What does he think of her?Concubine?wife?Beloved?
What should she take him for?Husband?Prince?A man you can rely on wholeheartedly?

"You don't have to worry about me. Now we each have things to do. We don't have much to do with each other. When you are tired and miss the old man, look at me and think about the past. I will use your power to avoid some troubles and be free. I am free to chase what I want. Everyone gets what they need, and everyone gets what they want. No, isn't it good?" Shen Xinniang said slowly.

No, is it good?

Fang Yan frowned.If they really didn't have much ties to each other, why did he drop everything in his hands and come in a hurry when he heard that the secret guard had followed him?If it's really just for her to miss her old friend, why do you have to take her feelings into consideration when approaching, and never touch her forbearance?

It's like a big stone falling in my heart.

"I heard that Prince Qi is here, so I'm too far away to welcome you, I'm so disrespectful and disrespectful!" A clear voice came from the bank.

Fang Yan and Shen Xinniang looked out of the canopy sideways.

On the shore, Qin Ran stood in front, and behind him stood the people of the villa facing the wind.

Uniform attire, golden jade belt around the waist, straddling sassy and full of energy.

Even the Jinwu Guard who intersected with the imperial court is not bad.

Fang Yan took a look at Shen Xinniang, got up and went outside the canopy, raised his chin slightly, and the look of a disdainful king suddenly appeared.

"Qin Lang is polite. Today's trespassing is not for official business, nor are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but just to find my concubine." Fang Yan said indifferently.

Qin Ran looked into the canopy of the boat.

The plain-clothed woman sat safely and silently in the boat, her face was as white and flawless as a beautiful jade, calm and unwavering.

He was a little surprised, and felt inexplicably regretful.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh, "So that's the case, since you're here, please don't dislike Prince Qi, and sit in the villa for a while?"

"It's inconvenient today, so I'll bother you another day." Fang Yan said displeasedly, watching Qin Ran's gaze into the canopy.

Qin Ran didn't bother too much, and handed him off.

Fang Yan's entourage jumped into the boat and punted away.

The people on the shore can be faintly heard saying: "Just let them go..."

"We and the court have never offended each other, but that is the regent, why provoke him?"

……

Fang Yan's eyes fell on Shen Xinniang.

How much stubbornness and pride were hidden under her indifferent expression, which he couldn't bear to touch?

·
Qin Ran held the fan bone and stood with his hands behind his back in the hall of the villa.

Looking up at the huge screen, the words "Heaven is respected and the earth is humble, the universe is fixed" are written.

That little lady, since she is the concubine of King Qi, is not a person who practiced Kun Dao as a monk.

Why are you so familiar with Taoism?

"Young master!" Yun Yao, who had just mentioned the main hall master, stood outside the hall and cupped her hands.

Qin Ran withdrew his gaze and turned to look back.

Yun Yao lowered her head slightly against the sight that fell on her body, "Let the doctor see it, Section Master Zhao is indeed not poisoned."

"Oh?" Qin Ran frowned, "Then why is your whole body stiff, unable to speak, and dull eyes?"

"The doctor said..." Yun Yao said hesitantly, "It's because Hall Master Zhao lost his mind."

"Lost soul?!" Qin Ran repeated, with a bit of irony in his tone.

Suddenly he thought of that woman's eyes that were pitch-black and boundless, so deep that they could not be penetrated to the bottom.

Could it be that those eyes that make people look cold are not born with imperfections, but are there some unknown secrets hidden?

"That woman must be weird!" Yun Yao said boldly, "The subordinates have already interrogated, and the poison in the tea bowl was instigated by Section Master Zhao. But there is no poison in the tea bowl used by Section Chief Zhao."

Qin Ran looked up at her.

Yun Yao also raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Qin Ran, then lowered her head again, "If it wasn't for that woman, she was just a concubine, how could it be possible for Prince Qi to go out in person? of!"

Qin Ran said softly, "It's okay, you can go down."

Yun Yao hesitated for a moment, looking for something to say, "Oh, by the way, the doctor also said that Hall Master Zhao is not only not poisoned, but his body is very healthy. It's..."

Qin Ran looked at Yun Yao with raised eyebrows, and said with a half smile, "Got it."

Yun Yao had nothing to say, so she glanced at the corner of his clothes, bowed and retreated.

·
20 flying coins.

Shen Xinniang asked Jin Xiang to get her official title and exchange it for a small amount of flying money.

I sent some to Ye Guiniang who was renovating Yunxiang Cloth Shop, and left some for Shopkeeper Sun of Yuelai Restaurant.

Ye Guiniang had money in her hand, and the lady didn't mean to ask about the money at all, she just confessed that everything will be done as it should be.

When she came forward, she no longer had the petty air she used to have, and even her waist became a little straighter.

Before the store was renovated, she had already ordered a lot of high-quality cloth from the old sellers in Hangzhou, Suzhou.

Once the store is repaired, it will be delivered immediately.

It was rare for Shen Xinniang to stay honestly in the mansion.

Every time Fang Yan asked someone to reply, he always said, "Miss Shen is researching the prescription of dye."

It doesn't make people worry at all, it's outrageous to be quiet.

Fang Yan played with the arhat's head walnut in his hand, but he repeatedly recalled her cold and indifferent words that day on the black awning boat.

Really, is there not much entanglement?
Really, are you just using her to miss your old friend?
·
Dan Xin finally came back from the restaurant and said that he had nothing to teach Chef Hao's skills.

Shen Xinniang also asked Yuelai to renovate the restaurant.

It would be even better if the shops on both sides could also be purchased.

He even left a contract to distribute [-]% of the restaurant's profits to Chef Hao and Shopkeeper Sun.

Naturally, they had no money until they saw interest after the renovation.

With such a large amount of money spent by the owner, even within half a year, they will not see any money back.

But Chef Hao is very aware of his current skills.

Shopkeeper Sun is even more aware of the popularity of Yuelai Restaurant when the store was still small and Dan Xin was in the back kitchen.

Dang even overjoyed to accept the contract, and thanked Shen Xinniang repeatedly.

Jin Xiang was puzzled, "The lady distributed the dividends of the pawn shop to Dan Xin and Tie Zhu, and distributed the dividends of the restaurant to the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper. The cloth line was fully managed by Ye Niangzi... In this way, the lady didn't give the money that originally belonged to Have you given away all your money? What is the lady trying to do?"

Shen Xinniang fiddled with the dye without raising her head and said, "I do need money, but I need someone to earn money faithfully for me. One person's strength is limited after all. In terms of business, they are better than me."

Jin Xiang snorted, "That's right, you don't need to pay so much..."

Dan Xin took the dye that Shen Xiniang asked for and carefully placed it, "My lady, do you see these right?"

The attitude is meticulous, as if what she is holding is not a dye, but some rare treasure.

Jin Xiang felt that she seemed to understand what the lady wanted, but she didn't seem to understand.

The big moves of the cloth shop and the wine shop spent almost all the cash Shen Xiniang got from selling the jade bracelet.

When Dan Xin and Jin Xiang were pulling the bill, they couldn't help but show pained expressions.

Shen Xinniang did not change her indifferent look at all.

It wasn't until she saw the first batch of high-quality fabrics to be dyed that she was slightly moved.

The entire dyeing workshop has been silent for two days, as if everyone is tense, depressed, and can't believe their eyes.Two days later, bursts of joy erupted.

Their new dyed fabric colors - so beautiful!

The two days when the female workers suppressed their excitement and joy.

Shen Xinniang only did one thing.

That is, he personally made an exquisite dessert and delivered it to Fang Yan's courtyard.

Before anyone entered the room, Fang Yan sniffed the scent and stood up.

When he saw Shen Xinniang's Pingting figure, holding a small box for snacks, he felt a bit of unspeakable joy.

Since the two came back from Qin's Villa, they haven't seen each other again.

Although they both live in Qi Wangfu.

Although he heard her every move every day.

But those are relatively different from face-to-face.

"Snacks just made." Shen Xinniang knelt down beside the desk, put down the box, and took out snacks, almond bergamot, wishful cake, canary bird, wishful roll, honey peanut, walnut stick, emerald jade bean cake, chestnut cake, two-color Plates of bean cakes and bean paste rolls are placed on the sapphire case.

Bright colors, exquisite shapes made of embossed flowers, and a sweet aroma that hits the face.

It seems to delight people from hair tip to toe.

Fang Yan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and there was a childlike joy that couldn't be hidden in his deep eyes.

Her black hair scattered behind her, her white wide sleeves, her slender fingers, and the movement of holding snacks with ivory chopsticks are all pleasing to the eye.

She put down her chopsticks in front of him, "Taste."

Perhaps people know best what it means to push an inch.

Fang Yan felt that Shen Xiniang was very close today, so she couldn't help squinting her eyes, the corners of her mouth fluttered, and the splendor on her handsome face surpassed the treasures in this room.

It's not as dazzling as his light smile.

"Hey me." He spit out two words lightly.
