Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

"Boan, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Wang Xu blinked innocently.

Xie Yun was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, so he turned away, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Wang Xu chuckled twice and stopped teasing Xie Yun, lest he really piss her off. He then changed the subject and asked Luo Qin, "Miss Luo, I just heard you call Xie San your third cousin. Why is that?"

When did they become related?

"Oh, let me explain." Xie Qi said first, "My uncle from the Xie family married a girl from the Luo family. According to seniority, Aqin is my cousin."

"Oh~" Wang Xu dragged out the last syllable, "So, then Bo'an is also Aqin's cousin?"

"Of course." Xie Qi nodded.

"Then why didn't I hear Miss Luo calling Bo'an cousin?"

Xie Qi also turned to Luo Qin and said, "Yes, cousin Luo, I know you now, so don't call me Xie Dalang all the time. Just call me cousin."

Luo Qin thought to himself that Wang Jue was indeed a little strange today, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. When their eyes met, the pretty girl glanced at the man beside her who was as bright as the moon. Seeing that he didn't object, she changed her address to "cousin..."

The girl's voice was full of timidity and exploration, which was completely different from the lingering love in the dream. However, this gentle voice brushed across Xie Yun's heart like a feather, causing his heart to tremble involuntarily.

Despite this, he remained calm, and turned to look at the girl beside him who was looking up at him, and replied softly, "Yeah."

At this time, Wang Zuo on the opposite side laughed again.

Xie Yun immediately glanced at him lightly, while Wang Xu laughed and said, "Bo'an, why are your ears red? Are you hot?"

Xie Yun felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but on the surface he still remained calm and composed, like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, cold and aloof.

He knew very well that Wang Yu must have noticed his little thoughts, so he tried every means to make fun of him. However, he would not be easily led by Wang Yu.

That's right, his behavior today was indeed a little abnormal. Wang Zuo, who grew up with him, knew him very well, so how could he not notice this?

After hearing what Wang Zuo said, Xie Qi looked at his elder brother thoughtfully.

Could it be that my elder brother... has some feelings towards my cousin Luo?

Combined with my eldest brother's abnormal behavior today, it seems that...

wonderful! How wonderful!

Ahhh, his elder brother, the most beautiful girl on the top of the snowy mountain, actually has the idea of ​​marrying a beautiful woman. Now his elder brother won't have to live out his life alone!

The atmosphere was strange for a moment. Luo Qin glanced at the three gentlemen with different expressions, and finally decided to speak: "First cousin, third cousin, Wang Wulang, I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Wang Xu turned his gaze and said, "Tell me what you want to say."

"it is good."

Luo Qin told him that he wanted to open a restaurant, a jewelry store and a cloth shop in Jiankang.

Xie Yun glanced sideways when he heard that, and felt a little more admiration for this talented, beautiful and opinionated girl.

She is a self-reliant and strong person, instead of relying on her good looks to marry into a wealthy family and then being confined to the inner chamber for the rest of her life.

He truly understood why he fell in love with her in his dream, because at this moment he clearly noticed the change in his mentality.

"How expensive are the shops here in Jiankang?" The pretty young girl looked over with her peach blossom eyes, looking at the three gentlemen with anticipation.

Wang Jue took a sip of the fragrant tea, put down the porcelain white teacup, moved slightly to a comfortable position, then looked at Luo Qin and said, "You have to ask the right person for this."

"You'll have to ask Bo'an about this," Wang Xu nodded at Xie Yun, "Bo'an has been managing the Xie's shop for many years, he knows it best."

"Yes, yes, my elder brother is the best at business, just ask him." Xie Qi on the opposite side quickly said, "When my elder brother was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was praised by many famous scholars. Minister Wang also recommended my elder brother to serve as an official in the court, but he refused at that time, saying that he wanted to take over the Xie family's business for a few years before entering the government.

He has been managing the Xie family's shop since he was fifteen years old, and knows a lot about business. Cousin Luo, you can go and ask him. I'm sure my elder brother will tell you everything he knows, right, elder brother?" Xie Qi looked at Xie Yun with a smile.

Hearing this, Luo Qin was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and it didn't seem like a big deal.

The politics and thoughts of this era were quite chaotic. On the one hand, the celebrities regarded money as a trivial thing, but on the other hand, they could not live without it. Many of them took the initiative to engage in business and make money.

On the one hand, he said that he longed for a simple life away from the world, but on the other hand, he carefully protected his reputation in order to obtain a high-ranking official position in the election.

It is said that a woman with enchanting looks is a disaster and will bring misfortune, but every man with a little money and power has a charming and affectionate concubine in his backyard.

It was not unusual in that era for Xie Yun to run the family shop. He had strong backing and others dared not say anything. If he was just an ordinary merchant with no one in his family serving as an official in the court, he would definitely be said to be "money-smelling and greedy". This was the way the world was.

After a moment of thinking, Luo Qin listened to what Wang Jue and Xie Qi said, and immediately turned to face Xie Yun, bowed and said softly: "Cousin, I'm sorry to bother you. Can you tell me..."

"Don't say anything, go ask if there are any shops for sale recently."

Before Luo Qin could finish his words, Xie Yun had already given the order.

"Here."

Wu Yan received the order and immediately opened the door and went out.

Then Xie Yun turned to look at the little girl in front of him and said in a low and mellow voice: "Cousin Luo, please wait a moment."

"...Thank you, cousin."

Luo Qin bowed again.

Xie Yun's expression was indifferent. "Thank you for your courtesy, cousin Luo. It's just a small favor."

Wang Xu leaned sideways, propped up his chin with one elbow on the table, his face lazily with a hint of amusement, "Look, our Mr. Xie is so warm-hearted, he can't stand seeing a girl asking for help from others. He is truly a great man, where can you find a man with a good family background, both virtuous and talented, handsome like a banished immortal, and who is also chaste? It's a pity that such a good man hasn't been born and hasn't gotten married yet? Oh, oh, oh..."

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Wuxie is absolutely right!" Xie Qi immediately understood and said.

Luo Qin: "..."

She finally realized what was wrong with Wang Xu today. It turned out that he had been teasing her on purpose and thought that there was some ambiguous relationship between Xie Yun and her. It was such a huge injustice! There was nothing wrong with her and Xie Yun!

Besides, Wang Wulang, aren't you always gentle and elegant? Why did you suddenly become so lazy and suave today? Could it be that everything before was just a fake appearance?
