business lady

Chapter 8
It was evening when Jiuyuan arrived in Fenglin Town.

Fenglin Town is located at the foot of Fenglin Mountain. The town is not very big with only a hundred households. People who go to Hongye Temple usually come here to rest or buy some incense candles for going up the mountain. People in the town also rely on these transactions to make ends meet.

Jiuyuan has a special residence in the town, which was bought a few years ago, and it was cleaned by someone before coming here.

Jiuyuan led Chaxiang and Xia Zhi into the garden together, and Chayan was left in the palace to take care of the things in the mansion.

Although the garden is not very big, the environment inside is so elegantly arranged.A small path leads to the main house, and there is a small rockery pond on the west side. An old plum tree with green branches and green leaves is planted beside the small pond. There are several young lotus leaves in the pond. A bamboo forest is planted on the east side, and the leaves are rustling in the breeze.

Jiuyuan Xiazhi sat down in the main hall, Chaxiang went to look at the servants, and ordered them to arrange the things they brought, and only served by Chawei, who was handsome and had a soft whip pinned to her waist. His temper was a bit cold, and he stepped aside after pouring the tea, not saying a word.

Jiu Yuan took a sip of tea, put the teacup back on the table, looked at the busy servants outside the hall, the hall fell into a dull tranquility, today's scene seemed to be the same as the past three years Jiu Yuan and Xia Zhi were in the same situation when they were alone, like two familiar strangers, just sitting, looking at each other without saying a word, only the oppressive atmosphere kept spreading in the room.

Jiu Yuan also thought about improving the stiff relationship between the two before, but every time he said too much and made mistakes, making the atmosphere more awkward, and sometimes he offended Xia Zhi at some point, and he walked away in anger , which made me even more afraid to speak when I saw him later!

In the end, Jiuyuan couldn't bear the tranquility, so he asked, "Will the prince also go to Hongye Temple to offer incense?"

Jiuyuan waited for a long time, but did not hear him respond. It was so long that she thought he would not answer before she heard Xia Zhi's voice.

"Well, I will go, we will go together tomorrow." Xia Zhi seemed to think about it.

Jiu Yuan didn't expect him to answer, and he felt relieved, not as nervous as before.

Continuing to find something to say: "Has the prince been here before?"

"I've never been here before." Xia Zhi replied, thinking about it, he knew that a person of his status must be busy with government affairs every day, so how could he come here in leisure.

Jiuyuan seemed to be recalling something and said: "I don't come here often, I just met Master Liaowu. Every time he gave a sermon, he came to see him." Father and Liaowu have known each other for a long time. When I came to Hongye Temple, my father would bring good wine and discuss the Tao with Wutan scriptures, and I would harm the flowers and plants in the temple, and I would be reprimanded by my father when I was done. Bored on the mountain, he often pushes back and forth and refuses to come up, and later on, it is a luxury for me to want to go up the mountain with him.

"Why is it before the altar preaching?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Because except for this time, he travels all over the place at other times." Jiu Yuan explained.

"Really? I've never heard of it."

"Well. He has been to many places, and it is very interesting to talk about the humanities and landforms of various places." Jiu Yuan seemed to think of something happy, with a slight smile on his face, and the untold stories on the mountain were interesting. .

Looking at the sky outside the house, there were birds flying in the sky, Jiu Yuan murmured: "I really want to go to the place he said." See if it is really what he said.

Although her voice was very low, Xia Zhi still heard it, the hand holding the tea returned to normal after a pause, and took a sip lightly.

At this time, it was getting late, and a servant came to ask if it was possible to pass on the meal, Xia Zhi nodded invisibly, and said, "Yes."

The servant got the answer and withdrew, and began to prepare the dishes.

After a while, the meals were all served, and Xia Zhi Jiuyuan sat down to eat.

It was the first time for Jiu Yuan to have dinner at the same table with Xia Zhi. After driving for half a day, she was tired and hungry, so she sat down at the dinner table and ate with Xia Zhi.

Today the cook made a dish of quail eggs. Jiuyuan picked it up a few times with chopsticks but failed to pick it up, so he simply stopped and poked the middle of the egg with the chopsticks, and the chopsticks poked into the egg to eat.

I did this twice, and when I stretched out my chopsticks again, I found Xia Zhi was looking at her with a slight smile on his face.

I'm looking at my actions, oops!Forget about being hungry!Not eating alone.

Immediately stretched out the chopsticks, just bowed his head to eat, wishing to bury his head in the bowl.

She was eating without looking away, when suddenly there was a round quail egg in the bowl.

"." Speechlessly looking at the eggs in the bowl, he looked up at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was eating seriously, and didn't look at her more.

Jiu Yuan silently put the egg into his mouth and ate it.

After the meal, the servants came up to remove the remaining meals.Cha Xiang came in and said that the wing room was finished and she could rest.

As soon as Jiu Yuan heard that she could rest, her eyes lit up. To be honest, she was really tired today, so she told Xia Zhi a blessing and went to rest.

After watching her walk away, Xia Zhi called out to a shadowy place with no one there: "Qingdong, come out."

A man in black came out from the shadows, held a sword in his hand and said, "How did the prince find me!" He was sure that he was hiding well.

Xia Zhi looked at him and said, "When Jiu Yuan poked the egg with his chopsticks, your breath became disturbed." Thinking of Jiu Yuan's actions at that time, Xia Zhi also laughed.

"." Qingdong was speechless for a while, she didn't expect to make a mistake here, but she also blamed Princess Duan, who would have thought how sharp her movements are when she eats!

"Are you here for something?" Xia Zhi asked.

"It's nothing serious, I just heard that you came here but didn't go up the mountain, and wanted to see what you were doing." Qingdong said lazily.

"Now that you see it, you can go back." Xia Zhi began to chase people away.

He rubbed his nose, and said awkwardly: "I was kicked out when I just arrived, do you think I'm in the way here?"

"Knowing that I'm in the way, I still don't leave." Xia Zhi glanced at him and said.

"Okay. Okay. I'll leave right away, but I've heard it outside. You were deducted pocket money by the princess in the mansion, and you haven't climbed into her bed for three years. It's so funny, hahaha .” After speaking, he ran away immediately.

Qingdong ran a long way to make sure Xia Zhi didn't chase after him.

Phew. I gotta sigh, but luckily I ran fast.

In fact, I know Xia Zhiman's drama.

I was an orphan since I was a child, and was picked up by my master and taken into the mountains for adoption. The master taught me all his martial arts and knowledge.

It's just that he was driven down the mountain by the master at that time, which is called going down the mountain to practice.

fart!It's this old man who hates me for stealing his peach blossom wine. What's even worse is that he didn't give me a penny, and he didn't tell himself that eating at the foot of the mountain costs money, so that he was punished by those common people for eating the king's meal. After chasing and beating, fortunately I have strong martial arts and run fast, otherwise I would not have been beaten up!
Later, because I didn't understand these common senses, I made a lot of jokes.

When I met Xia Zhi, I was being fired by No. 15 employers, because he thought I was too heavy handed and ruined all the fabrics in his house.

How could it be possible, the quality of his fabrics was obviously too poor, and it would rot if he touched it lightly.

Of course I had to argue with reason and told him it was a fabric problem, but he insisted that it was my hand weight and finally drove me away.

At that time, I was worrying about the problem of having enough food in the future.When he saw it, he said he had something to do for me and asked me if I would like it.

So I went with him in order not to be hungry. I thought he was the savior at the time, but later I found out that the cloth shop was also his.
Thinking about the past is full of tears!
