The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

Coming out of Second Uncle's house, Xu Qu and Huan Huan stood face to face with Xie Shen. Seeing Xie Shen's sad expression, Huan Huan comforted him, "Master Shen, Xiang Yin will definitely get better."

Xie Shen nodded with a wry smile, said a few words of thanks to Huanhuan and Xu Qu for bringing him to see Xiangyin, and then said goodbye to them.

Xie Shen turned away dejectedly, and slowly said to Xu Qu: "Mr. Shen is also a man of love and righteousness. He insisted on coming to see Xiang Yin even if he had to endure grievances."

Xu Qu did not answer immediately, but raised his eyes and looked at Xie Shen's almost disappearing back in the distance, and said calmly: "At the beginning, there was naturally affection, but after a long time, it's hard to say."

He slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Qu. His expression was cold, as if he was always the same. The light from the lantern at his second uncle's door made his eyes sparkle.

Huanhuan recalled that she had heard from others that Xie Jin often went to Xu's residence to visit him when Xu Qu first fell ill. She guessed that he probably remembered the past at this time. Xie Jin was also the one who comforted him when he first fell ill, but he chose to leave in the end.

Thinking of this, she slowly and involuntarily moved closer to Xu Qu and snuggled up to him, wanting to give him some warmth in this somewhat cold night.

Xu Qu looked down and smiled slowly, then pulled her cloak closer and said, "Let's go back."

She slowly raised her head and smiled, then looked at Xu Qu obediently and nodded.

So Huanhuan took Xu Qu's right arm, and Xu Qu's left hand rested on Huanhuan's hand, and the two of them walked back home slowly and silently with a smile on their faces.

As soon as we entered Xu's house, the doorman greeted us, "Young Master, Young Madam, you are back. Madam went to Xin Garden to look for Young Master, and learned that he was out. She sent someone to our doorman not long ago, saying that if she saw Young Master coming back, she should tell him to go to Jing Garden."

So Xu Quhe walked straight to Jingyuan. While still in the yard, he saw that the doors and windows of the main room of Jingyuan were open, and the candlelight inside the house was reflected, along with the warm laughter from inside the house.

As soon as I stepped into the main hall, I slowly saw Madam Xie sitting on the main seat with a happy smile. On one side of the guest seat sat my second uncle and Xiangyue, and on the other side sat my eldest aunt and...Xie Jin!

He blinked slowly and hard, confirming that it was indeed Xie Jin sitting there, and was immediately filled with suspicion.

Mrs. Xie asked them to sit down without waiting for Huan Huan and Xu Qu to greet each other. So they sat next to their second uncle.

As soon as they sat down, the second uncle said to Xu Qu, "Qu'er, the escort issue has been resolved."

Xu Qu was also a little surprised and said, "We asked all the escort agencies in the city, even private escorts with less than ten people, and asked people to ask the escort agencies in the neighboring areas, but they were all full. How did they find this?"

The second uncle hesitated for a moment and looked across. Xu Qu and Huanhuan also followed his gaze.

Xie Jin was sitting opposite them, looking at them and smiling. Under the candlelight, the pearl hairpin on her head glowed, making her look rich and gentle.

The eldest aunt smiled and said, "I heard that Qu'er went to see Xie Shen today. When talking to Master Xie, Master Xie asked Qu'er what he was busy with recently, and learned about the difficulties we were facing as escorts. What a coincidence, Bihua's Qingcha Garden had a batch of goods to leave. When Bihua heard about our difficulties, she immediately decided to postpone the shipment of the tea garden and let us run the escort agency."

At this time, Xie Jin continued, "What a coincidence! The goods were ordered by merchants in Xiangyang, and they also hired the escort agency. They will arrive in the next two days."

The eldest aunt's eyes sparkled with shrewdness, and she asked, "But this will delay the shipment to Xiangyang. We didn't hire the escort agency, so is this okay?"

Xie Jin smiled and said, "This is a business we have been working with for many years. I will have a good discussion with them and give them some appropriate margins in the future. It shouldn't be a problem."

The eldest aunt laughed and said, "In this case, Bihua will suffer a loss. Alas, Bihua is really a blessing to our Xu family! With Bihua, our Xu family can be more powerful!" After saying this, she looked at Xu Qu with a smile in her eyes. When she saw Huanhuan, the contempt and pride in her eyes were not concealed at all.

After the argument that day, the eldest aunt's intention had been made clear, and Huanhuan naturally understood the meaning of her eyes and words at this moment. She was happy that the matter was resolved, but also sad that she was powerless in comparison.

And he slowly recalled what his aunt said that day, that Xie Jin had reached an agreement with his aunt in private. So was Xie Jin just helping out this time, or did he have other selfish motives?

Seeing Huanhuan's pale face and worried look, the eldest aunt sneered, and then she turned to Xie Jin and said, "Bihua, we have to ask you to mediate the matter of Xiangyang's escort agency. You must help us plan the operation. You can stay here for a few days, and stay at my place."

Hearing this, Huanhuan's heart tightened.

The eldest aunt said to Xu Qu again: "Qu'er should come with us. Take this opportunity to learn how to deal with the escorts."

He slowly looked at Xu Qu, only to see that his eyes were deep and he said calmly, "Let's just follow Second Uncle's instructions."

Second Uncle looked embarrassed at this time. He hesitated and said to everyone: "Xiang Yin has not been feeling well recently. I am afraid I can't leave."

Then he explained specifically to Xu Qu: "Qu'er, you also understand that it's not easy for me to handle it."

Xu Qu looked at his second uncle in silence for a while, then said, "I understand, second uncle. Xiangyin is more important."

The second uncle breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Madam Xie apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I have something to do at home, so I have to go back."

Mrs. Xie's brows were covered with worry, and she forced a smile and said, "His second uncle has worked hard today. It's getting late, so walk slowly on the road."

After the second uncle left, Madam Xie said helplessly, "Qu'er, this is the first time you cooperate with Manager Cao on Xiangyunsha, and you are going to stop the goods midway, so you must act with caution."

Xu Qu nodded and said, "Mother, I will."

Mrs. Xie waved her hand tiredly and said, "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest."

So, Huanhuan and Xu Qu said goodbye first, followed by Xie Jin and the aunt.

"Bihua!" Mrs. Xie suddenly called out to Xie Jin.

Xie Jin turned around and looked at Mrs. Xie with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. Mrs. Xie hesitated to speak, but finally waved her hand and said, "Let's go and have a rest early."

It is now the first ten days of the month, the half moon is bright, illuminating the road with a silvery white light, which is very bright.

Huanhuan and Xu Qu walked in front, and the eldest aunt said to Xie Jin from behind: "Bihua, turn left when you get to the front. There is a tree on the road, be careful."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm familiar with this road, don't worry."

The eldest aunt laughed and responded, "Yes, yes, yes, you have been here since you were a child, so there is no place you are not familiar with. All of this should have been yours."

Xie Jin looked at Huan Huan who was walking in front of him and said hesitantly in a low voice: "Aunt, don't say that. At the beginning..."

The eldest aunt held Xie Jin's hand and deliberately spoke in a louder voice: "Everyone is striving to improve themselves. What's wrong with that? Don't mention the past. You can judge a person's heart by his actions. Now your heart is like the bright moon in the sky, which can shine into everyone's heart. Those who should understand will naturally understand!"

Huanhuan realized that these words were meant for her. At this moment, she felt as if her throat was blocked by a stone, preventing the turbid air in her body from coming out and the fresh air from outside from coming in. She felt groggy and confused.

Suddenly, Xu Qu's warm big hand held Huan Huan's cold hand. He slowly raised his head and looked at her calmly, saying, "Are you confused? It's time to turn. Your hands are so cold. Come back with me."

I smiled slowly, and walked forward guided by the warmth, leaving everything behind on the road.
