This shadow guard is kinda nice

Without the imperial army and imperial physicians following them, Xiao Yichen and Mo Ran naturally went to Pingyao at a faster speed. Five days later, at dusk when the sun was setting, they arrived in Pingyao.

Pingyao is located in the center of Daliang, with roads extending in all directions, and merchants who come and go communicate with each other closely, so the prosperity of Pingyao is close to that of Jinling.

As soon as you step into Pingyao, the long street is winding with no end in sight. In the distant sky, the afterglow pours down, coating the city with a layer of warm gold. up.

This is Pingyao under the afterglow of the setting sun, the world is full of fireworks, and the most stretching is long.

The epidemic seems to have no effect on Pingyao, and this is just an ordinary town among thousands of small towns in the world. It is plain and full of warm colors, and people come and go in a hurry.

Wherever Xiao Yichen looked, he couldn't see any sign of the plague. If he hadn't heard what Sun Baizhi said in the court that day, he would have suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

The two of them didn't go to the prefect's mansion first, but walked along the street, crossed the streets and alleys, and went to several medical clinics in Pingyao to have a general look, but as long as they mentioned the relationship between wind and cold and fever, the doctors kept their faces secretive and didn't want to say more. The appearance of words.

Xiao Yichen probably knew in his heart that the situation in Pingyao must be a little serious, but the government is still hiding the situation from the people.

In the evening, the two stayed in an inn, and when they went upstairs, Xiao Yichen glanced casually, and there was a woman standing behind the counter, she looked very gentle and generous.

She is a beauty.

He shook his head and smiled, pushed open the door, and forgot about the beauty in a blink of an eye.

After Mo Ran followed in, he didn't relax, but simply tidied up the house. Xiao Yichen leaned against the window lazily, watching his movements.

Seeing him bent down, the black clothes outlined his tight waist, and as he made the bed with his hands, his shoulder blades fluttered like the wings of a butterfly.

Xiao Yichen closed his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of his half-naked body when he dyed the ink with medicine, was it thin, white and smooth?He doesn't remember very well.

Maybe, it should feel great.

A hot feeling gradually came to his heart, and he suddenly opened his eyes, which darkened.

Mo Ran finished making the bed, straightened up, turned to look at Xiao Yichen, just about to ask him if he wants to have dinner now, when he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little dark.

Mo Ran was stunned in place, what's wrong with the master?

"Master..." He called out tentatively.

Xiao Yichen responded, and the previous hot feeling was suppressed by him.

"Are you... alright?"

"fine."

At that moment, he didn't know what happened, but when he thought of Mo Ran's half-naked body, that irritability came to his heart, making his breath very unstable.

He frowned, this...

Could it be that you are too tired from the endless traveling day and night these days?

Mo Ran naturally noticed Xiao Yichen's frown, and knew that there must be something bothering him, but the master didn't want to talk about it, so he just pretended he didn't know.

In the past few days, he will take more care of his master's daily life and try his best to make him feel better, he secretly made up his mind.

"Shall we have dinner now?" he asked.

"Ah."

Mo Ran nodded, his back disappeared behind the door, the closed door blocked Xiao Yichen's sight, he rubbed his eyes to let himself relax, and stopped thinking about some illusory things.

Mo Ran ordered Xiaoer to prepare a few signature dishes, and then sat casually at a table and waited. As if he was bored, his eyes fell on the shopkeeper who was very close to him.

She lowered her head, her expression focused.

A strand of hair fell out.

When going upstairs, the master also took a look at this woman, she must be the type that the master likes, right?

But he quickly overturned his own idea. For so many years, there has never been a woman who made his master fall in love with him. He really doesn't know what kind of woman his master likes, but a woman who can be a princess should be...

What should it be?He can't tell, but it's not so clear and gentle, but if the master likes it, then anything is fine, even if the master likes a man, it's okay...

Before he could think about it any further, an extremely frivolous voice came from in front of him.

"Qing Ru, we meet again."

Dressed in fancy clothes, the rather handsome and elegant young man stood in front of the counter, bent slightly and said.

The beautiful shopkeeper looked up at him slightly as if she was used to it, and after greeting him, she lowered her head to check the books in her hand without waiting for the other party to say anything.

Ning Zhiyuan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "When you finish your work, do you want to have dinner together?"

Fu Qingru is the woman he's caught his eye recently. A month ago, he came here with his friends, and the moment he entered the door, he was attracted by the beautiful shopkeeper.

He has seen many beauties, but this woman gave him a very special feeling at first sight, she was elegant, gentle and gentle.It is true that her facial features are not particularly top-notch, but the combination looks very good and gives people a particularly comfortable feeling.

When he came to this inn, he had never seen this beautiful shopkeeper. If it was the daughter of a rich businessman in Pingyao, he should know.After some inquiries, I found out that this is the daughter of the Fu family. She is over [-] years old and has a lot of business acumen, so the Fu family entrusted her with most of the business.

The Fu family is a wealthy family that has only risen in recent years, and they are usually relatively low-key. They are not as deep-rooted as the Yi family, and have been in business for generations, so it is reasonable for Ning Zhiyuan not to recognize the daughter of the Fu family.

After that day, he came to this inn a lot more times than before, and he often talked to Fu Qingru by reason of eating.

But if you pay it off, just ignore him.

Ning Zhiyuan, who has always been very handy in love affairs, has lost his hand in Fu Qingru's place. It's fine if he doesn't win the heart, and even the number of times he meets is pitifully seldom.

The Fu family has a big business, and Fu Qingru only visits this inn occasionally, and settles accounts here if he has time.

Ning Zhiyuan originally wanted to drop by to try his luck today, but he didn't expect Fu Qingru to actually be there.

Fu Qingru didn't even lift her head when she heard the words, "Young Master Ning, let's eat first, Qingru is still busy."

Ning Zhiyuan didn't mind either, if he wanted to catch the beauty, he had to be patient.

"Then I'll wait for you."

If Fu Qing didn't say anything, if he likes to wait, then just wait.

Ning Zhiyuan rested his chin on his hands, and leaned against the counter. After looking at it for a while, he began to find nothing to say, "Are you tired from reading so many bills a day?"

Fu Qingru still didn't answer, Ning Zhiyuan continued: "But you are very capable, you are in charge of so many businesses at a young age."

He said with concern: "It's better to take a rest, don't work so hard, it's not worth it if your body is exhausted."

Fu Qingru finally raised her head, her voice was flat, "Thank you Mr. Ning for your concern, Qingru is fine, just check some accounts."

Ning Zhiyuan didn't seem to listen to what she said at all, just looked at her, "You're finally willing to talk to me."

Paying was speechless, I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and looked down at the account book again.

Ning Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Don't watch it, just rest and watch it later."

Xiao Er brought the prepared dishes and quoted the price to Mo Ran. Mo Ran handed him the silver and left with the tray.

Xiaoer looked at the silver taels in his hand, and he gave too much.

He stretched out his hand to grab Mo Ran, but Mo Ran flickered away from the hand that was trying to pull him.

Hey? ? ?

Xiao Er withdrew his frustrated hand, touched the back of his head, "You gave too much.

Mo Ran didn't look back, just said: "There's no need to look for it."

Because the table Mo Ran was sitting at was very close to the counter, the waiter held the silver and looked at the eldest lady, what should I do?

Fu Qingru put down the account book in his hand and walked out of the counter. Ning Zhiyuan thought she had followed his advice and planned to take a break to read it later, but he saw Fu Qingru took the broken silver, jumped over him, and caught up with the tall man in front of him. black figure.
