The next day, Chu Rao woke up, and the seat next to the bed was already vacant.
She slept last night, and she could feel Qi Su tucking the corners of the quilt for her, but she was so tired and weak that she couldn't open her eyes.
When I looked at it in the morning, the bed was clearly divided into two pieces, and there was a quilt neatly placed on Qi Su's side, and then look at the one on her body, this is good, she pushed it, and she couldn't even hug it when she went to sleep in the future.
Chu Rao couldn't tell whether it was chagrin or other inexplicable emotions in her heart, she almost wanted to pinch herself.
During breakfast, Qi Su ate porridge in a sullen voice, and kept his mouth shut about what happened last night, Chu Rao was anxious, and she couldn't eat at this time, so she couldn't help but say, "Qi Su, last night, in fact, I didn't mean to push you away." ” "Hmm."
He knew that it was his lack of self-control that scared her.
"Are you still angry?"
Chu Rao looked at Qi Su with a blank eye, she was actually not afraid that Qi Su would be angry, but she was afraid that he would ignore her coldly.
Qi Su looked at her as if she could cry at any time, and said patiently, "I'm not angry." ” "But you divided two quilts..."
"It's been cold these days." “...”
Chu Rao was speechless for a while, she always felt that Qi Su must be unhappy in her heart, but she herself had already opened her words, no matter how thick her face was, it was difficult to easily declare it in the affairs of men and women.
Since she can't figure out Qi Su's thoughts, let's go with the flow, in the end, the pain when Qi Su sank last night was so bad, she was really scared.
After figuring it out in her heart, Chu Rao didn't want the two of them to be entangled in embarrassing emotions anymore, so she changed the topic and said in a relaxed tone: "Qi Su, are you going to the study to read today?"
"I'm going to the city."
"Then I'll go too!"
Chu Rao doesn't like to be quiet, it's better to take a carriage for half a day than to stay in the house, and she can just take this opportunity to get along with Qi Su and turn over last night's events as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Qi Su put down the porcelain spoon and swallowed the vegetarian porridge into his stomach unhurriedly, and then looked at Chu Rao, "I'm going to see Old Xu, what are you going to do?"
” "I'm going to accompany you."
Qi Su glanced at her chopsticks that hadn't moved for half a minute, raised his eyes and said, "No." ” Chu Rao refused to give up, "Qi Su, you're not at home, I'm really bored by myself, I promise I don't want to go shopping." ” “...” knew that she was saying this to trick him into taking her out to visit those street shops, after all, with her out-of-the-box nature, she didn't know where to fly when she went out, but for some reason, Qi Su always felt that if she didn't agree to her, she looked particularly pitiful.
Qi Su pushed over a bowl of red date porridge in front of Chu Rao, and said lightly, "After drinking it, let's talk about it." ” “...
Oh. ” Chu Rao looked down at the delicate lotus-patterned porcelain bowl, full of sweet red porridge, she really didn't have any appetite this morning, she didn't want to eat it, but now it seems that if she doesn't finish drinking, Qi Su will definitely ignore her.
Chu Rao could only barely swallow a bowl of porridge, raised her head and continued to beg: "Qi Su, I really want to go with you." ” She was already ready to deal with it, if Qi Su didn't agree, she had other things to say.
Who knows, when Qi Su heard this, she just picked up the soft handkerchief on the table, slowly tucked away a little porridge juice from the corner of her mouth for her, and spoke softly, "Yes to you." *** In the afternoon, the carriage galloped on the official road, and the heroic young man Zhuo Wei stood on the wheel, looking around sharply, not letting go of a little wind and grass.
What they are going to now is a restaurant on the Chengtianmen on the main street, which belongs to the name of the Jinjiang Chamber of Commerce, with a total height of five floors, and Xu Weng is waiting in the private room on the top floor.
Before noon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the restaurant.
At first glance, the exterior is magnificently decorated, and the interior is luxuriously shaped in a ring, surrounding a high platform in the middle, on which there are different entertainment programs every day.
Chu Rao followed Qi When Su entered the door, he happened to meet a storyteller sitting on it, holding a ruler and telling a story aloud.
Halfway through the conversation, a brown-clothed man below coaxed, "Elder Zhang, you always talk about some historical miscellaneous, you can tell us about the wild materials of our Ming Yin Dynasty!"
” "Yes, Elder Zhang, aren't you well-informed, say one!"
"Quiet, quiet!"
The storyteller who was called Zhang Lao stroked his white beard, "Okay, then I'll talk about the Hou Ye with a different surname in our Ming Yin Dynasty." ” "I tell you, he's really rich, and this gold isn't gold in his eyes, whatever—" The man in the audience shouted dissatisfiedly: "Old Zhang, what you said, we all know wow, the Chamber of Commerce is his, what's so strange about being rich." ” "Then do you know that the princess of Changle in my dynasty likes this marquis?"
"No, really?
Can a dignified princess fall in love with the likes of copper-smelling businessmen?
Storyteller, you're fooling us!
” Zhang Lao sneered, "Hmph, this is what my old friend in the palace told me, and I'm not afraid to tell you, anyway, everyone in the palace knows it, and even the emperor acquiesces." ” The audience under one station expressed their disbelief, and the discussion became noisy. ...
The storyteller was still arguing, Chu Rao started listening from halfway through, and listened with relish, but before she could figure out why, she was pulled upstairs into the private room by Qi Su.
At this time, Xu Weng was already waiting in the room, and he saluted Qi Su and Chu Rao, who came to the door.
"Childe, you're here."
Xu Weng usually stays in Jincheng, but occasionally comes to Beijing, after all, one-third of the shops here belong to the Jinjiang Chamber of Commerce, Qi Su doesn't like to come forward, so he is always at the forefront.
"What I gave you before, I can do it."
"Childe, please rest assured, within half a year, it will be completed."
Xu Weng replied with a solemn face, although he couldn't understand what Qi Su told him to do, he thought that there was a major reason.
Now that the situation in the court is unpredictable, coupled with the invasion of foreign enemies, the actions of the people above to suppress the Chamber of Commerce are not too big, but they still have to be cautious at all times.
In fact, everything is prosperous and declining, the Jinjiang Chamber of Commerce has been prosperous for more than ten years, and soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, turmoil is inevitable, and it is no wonder that the prince is now planning for a few years.
"By the way, Childe, as you said in your letter, Shangjing Mansion met Concubine Ruiwang?"

"Yes." ...
Chu Rao was on the side, and there was a word of listening to the clouds, Qi Su and they didn't know very clearly, but she didn't care too much about this, and she lay on the windowsill and looked out.
I was a little bored, but Qi Su's voice came from time to time in my ears, and Chu Rao felt that it was indeed much more interesting than staying at home alone.
There was an endless stream of vendors and stalls on the street, and the shouting did not stop, Chu Rao looked around, until his shoulder was gently pulled by Qi Su, "I'm back."
Chu Rao retracted her gaze without any nostalgia, "Are you all done talking?"
” "Hmm."
Walking out of the private room, on the aisle when going downstairs, Chu Rao and Qi Su walked side by side.
"Qi Su, can you buy a bag of sugar and fried chestnuts by the way."
Chu Rao saw the mice the day before yesterday, and she temporarily had some shadows on the rock sugar gourd, but she had not eaten the sugar-fried chestnuts for a long time, and when she just passed downstairs, she was hungry when she smelled the fragrance.
"Okay."
He ended early, originally to set aside time for Chu Rao.
The two walked to the second floor, Chu Rao's mind was on the chestnuts, and she didn't notice a drunk middle-aged man in brocade clothes coming up to her.
Between the lightning and flint, Qi Su glanced at it, pulled Chu Rao into his arms, turned around and blocked her to the side of the fence.
He looked at the drunk man with cold eyes, and the drunkard was excited, and he was half awake from the wine.
"Sir, you're on the wrong track."
Chase after the head The woman in green who looked like a concubine pulled the pot-bellied man back, and Chu Rao happened to look up in Qi Su's arms, looking at the little concubine.
Although they hadn't met a few times, Chu Rao recognized that she was Lu Aya.
Lu Aya obviously recognized Chu Rao as well, and paused for a while before retracting her gaze and walking back with the drunk man in her arms.
"Qi Su, was that green aya just now?"
Chu Rao was still nestled in Qi Su's arms, and spoke with a small face.
"Hmm."
Qi Su straightened the crooked hairpin that Chu Rao had accidentally scraped on his head, "Let's go." ” *** Green Aya helped the drunk man back to his private room, and while following his anger, his eyes rolled, and he said coquettishly: "Did the master take a fancy to that little wife?"
” Wu Lan Guifang was frightened by Qi Su's momentum, regained his senses, and was regretting not looking at the beauty more, when he heard Lu Aya's words, he squinted and said, "Yes, what, do you know?"
” "The master doesn't know, she is the new lady of the Yangzhou family who served before the concubine."
Lu Aya looked at Wu Langui's anxious appearance, and added as if fanning the flames, "The slave looks at her, she is still a chick now." ” "Really?"
Wu Langui licked his lips thirsty.
Lu Aya, the concubine, was bought by him from the boat, and she was very good at men's and women's bedding, so when she said this, Wu Langui also believed it a little.
"How dare the concubine lie to you, her eyebrows are not scattered, she walks like a lotus step, obviously her body is not broken, the lord doesn't know, my earlier son was a sick and weak, I can't do good things.
Pity such a beautiful woman and still have to be widowed, how can I have you, a master, so strong. ” Wu Langui's lower abdomen tightened when he was told by Lu Aya, and when he remembered the beauty he had just seen, if he could be asked to bring it back, then he would be really blessed in the future.
"What kind of business did they do in their house, which you used to serve?"
Wu Langui himself is the deputy Qianhu of the Beijing Mansion, from the fifth grade, he is a small steward of public security, and he knows many people, although he can't get on the stage, but there is also a small force.
It is not the first time that he has robbed □□ daughter.
The principle he pursues is to find out the details of people before robbing them, and never kick the wrong iron plate.
He has been safe all these years, and it is all thanks to this.
"Don't worry, master, his family is an ordinary rice merchant in Yangzhou."
Green Aya's fingertips swirled around Wu Langui's chest, "If the master is still worried, let's send someone to Yangzhou to ask, anyway, I still have some contact there." ” "Okay, then let's investigate again."
Having said that, Wu Langui already felt in his heart that the woman was in his pocket, and if he wanted to come to Shangjia's family, there could be a few powerful people, no matter how powerful they were, they were only the marquis with a different surname who was personally appointed by the emperor.
But there is no such coincidence.
"Master, you won't have a new love, just forget about the old concubine."
Green Aya's eyes hooked Wu Langui's palm like silk.
"Ouch heart, how can I give you this up."
Wu Langui smiled and hugged her into the inner room... *** Although she had just seen Green Aya, Chu Rao didn't take her to heart, and after walking out of the restaurant with Qi Su, she began to look for a shop to buy fried chestnuts with sugar.
Luckily, there was one outside the restaurant, so they didn't have to go far.
Chu Rao ran into the shop with a smile, and came out carrying two paper bags, "Qi Su, I've bought it, and I've bought you a pack too." ” "I don't."
"Eh, why don't you like sweets so much..."

Qi Su didn't reply to her, but reached out and took the two bags of chestnuts for her, "Where else do you want to go." ” "We're not going anywhere, let's go home."
"Go back?"
Qi Su felt strange for the first time, Chu Rao was clamoring to come out in the morning, it was nothing more than boring and wanting to hang out and play, she had such a temperament, she only bought two packs of chestnuts.
Don't...
Qi Su raised his eyebrows and asked, "But you're not feeling well?"
” "Nope."
Chu Rao looked at Qi Su inexplicably, and thought about his disbelief expression, but suddenly understood, her pretty face turned red, and she said half angrily: "I said it, I just wanted to accompany you when I came out today, how can I be so playful!"
” "Besides, you don't like shopping, I'll pull you, it's better to find Ziyan."
Chu Rao stomped her feet, walked to the carriage at the corner of the street, and muttered as she walked, "The heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people!"
” Qi Su looked at her puffing back and chuckled, and the little remaining depression from last night finally disappeared.
After walking a few steps, Chu Rao saw that Qi Su had not caught up for a long time, so she couldn't help but stop and glanced back.
Under the warm winter sun, the handsome man's silver robe seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, tall and elegant, so good-looking, her heartbeat missed a beat.
By the time Chu Rao came back to her senses, Qi Su had already walked to her side.
She hung her head and caught up, "I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at where my two bags of chestnuts are." ” Qi Su glanced sideways behind him, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Don't believe it." ” “...！！”
... *** It is deeper and heavier, and the moon is hidden in dark clouds, not revealing a trace of light.
In the inner room of the Qi family's master bedroom, the man's eyelashes on the bed trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes after some struggle.
Qi Su had another dream.
He turned sideways to look at the woman who was breathing steadily and sleeping soundly, if the dream was really something that would happen in the future, then there would be no difference in this life with Chu Rao.
But no matter what, he would never let Chu Rao suffer another danger.
"Qi Su...
Hmm...," the woman babbled in her dreams, unconsciously bending over the heat source on her right.
Qi Su loosened his eyebrows, closed his eyes and reached out to scoop her into his arms, "Sleep." ” ...
