It's better to marry a devil

Because of Hong Xiyue's body, Ye Guqing still endured and didn't make it to the end, but she couldn't help but let Hong Xiyue do it for herself once with her mouth.Looking at Hong Xiyue, who had a shy and angry expression in front of him, but still obediently helped him relieve it, Ye Guqing smiled at the corner of his eyes and patted the top of his hair as if rewarding him.

After Ye Guqing came out, looking at the thing hanging from the corner of Hong Xiyue's mouth, Ye Guqing took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it clean for him, then lay down on the ground and pulled him into her arms.The two just lay on the soft sand, hugged each other tightly, looked at the quiet night sky, and listened to the sound of the waves.

In the middle of the night, Ye Guqing and Hong Xiyue returned to the inn.Asking for a bucket of hot water to wash off the sand on their bodies, Ye Guqing and Hong Xiyue went to bed.

Remembering that Ye Guqing was going to go to the Yamen with that Zhao Yunpeng to go through formalities today, the sooner Hong Xi woke up, he woke up Ye Guqing.After a night's rest, coupled with the rapid recovery of the martial arts body, Hong Xiyue's sore waist no longer feels much.On the contrary, the secret place is still a little uncomfortable.Turning his head and staring at Ye Guqing who was wiping his face, Hong Xiyue cursed secretly in his heart.

Ye Guqing who was stared at was a little puzzled, so he pretended he didn't see it.After wiping her face and tying up her hair, she went downstairs with Hong Xiyue.Butler Liu had also gotten up at this time, and was explaining to Xiao Er in the hall, when he saw Ye Guqing coming down the stairs with Hong Xiyue, he waved at Xiao Er and greeted him.

"Young master, let's go to Zhao's mansion after breakfast. I carefully read the things you gave me yesterday. Although some places are not convenient, it is still feasible to modify them. And we can also attract the surrounding Towns, transport the goods to our docks, and then we will deliver them, so that if we do business near the Jingcheng River, we can almost monopolize it."

Ye Guqing sat at the table and looked at Steward Liu's blushing face with excitement and couldn't help but smile, then reached out and opened the chair next to him to let Steward Liu sit down.

"Well, Uncle Liu, your idea is also feasible." Ye Guqing said lightly.

"We can also organize a convoy, and we will deliver the goods in the middle, which will be another profit."

Listening to Steward Liu's words, Ye Guqing put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head at him: "Uncle Liu, as a human being, don't be too greedy. Besides, when I bought the boat, I only thought about those in the cities near Xuancheng. For business, I didn’t expect to come to Suijiang City. If it wasn’t for the backside… In short, Uncle Liu must understand that big trees attract wind.”

How could Steward Liu think of Ye Guqing? He had thought about forming a fleet to contact customers, but that was when he only did business in a few cities near Xuancheng.Now if it can really develop to Suijiang City, the intermediate transportation link, it must be abandoned.

For nothing else, just like what he said to Butler Liu just now, to attract attention.After all, the person standing behind him is the Prince Cheng. If Qu Chengyin can really take the big position in the future, his business is really too big. With the usual methods of an emperor, the Ye family probably won't be able to keep it.Therefore, he can only reduce the scope of business as much as possible, spread out the benefits, and the risk will be reduced if he only takes the big head.

"Master, is there someone behind us?" Butler Liu asked in surprise with widened eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Guqing dipped his fingers in water and wrote the word 'cheng' on the table, and then told Butler Liu everything about him and Hong Xiyue's encounter with Qu Chengyin in Qiyang City.After Ye Guqing finished speaking, the old butler fell silent.Because he knew that once he got involved with the royal family, nothing good would happen.So he was very worried about the future of the Ye family, and he was also thankful that Ye Guqing was not greedy and knew how to restrain himself when doing things.

After they had breakfast, Ye Guqing asked Hong Xiyue to stay at the inn to rest, and took Butler Liu to the Zhao Mansion to pick up Zhao Yunpeng.On the way to Zhao's Mansion, Butler Liu sat across from Ye Guqing and hesitated to speak for several times, Ye Guqing looked very strange.

"Uncle Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything we can't say between you and me?"

Seeing what Ye Guqing said, Steward Liu looked at Ye Guqing and sighed: "Young master, this old slave knows that he shouldn't meddle in his master's personal affairs. But you are the only one in the Ye family, do you really plan to spend your whole life with Mr. Hong?" ? Even if you want to be with Mr. Hong, at least you can take a concubine and leave some blood."

Hearing this, Ye Guqing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, a relationship is a matter between two people, and we must be loyal to each other. It's a pity that I don't have children, but I don't want people to get in my way." and Hong Xiyue. Besides, he won't agree."

"Well, how can this be done? Look at those big families who don't have three wives and four concubines? Even if Mr. Hong is the first wife, it won't work to prevent the patriarch from leaving his blood!" Steward Liu immediately blushed. Face.

Stretching out her hand to hold down the furious Steward Liu, Ye Guqing smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I don't want people to stand between us. I don't want to bring children either."

"You don't need to take it with you, you can teach me. I took it with you and the young master when we were young."

Steward Liu has been in the Ye Mansion for decades, and he knows what happened back then.Seeing that Master Ye has always regarded Tang Qingli as his own son, he also followed Master Ye to treat him as the young master of the Ye family, and his love for him has never been less.However, even though Steward Liu said so, it is a pity that he has no memory of the past, so he can only smile at his words.

While talking, the Zhao Mansion arrived.The carriage had just stabilized and before Ye Guqing got out of the carriage, he heard Zhao Yunpeng's hearty laughter outside.After Liu Butler got out of the car, he raised the curtain and helped Ye Guqing get down, the two exchanged a few words at the door, then got in the car and turned around to go to the Yamen.

The prefect of Suijiang City is called Sima Xing, and he and Zhao Yunpeng are sworn brothers.Perhaps Zhao Yunpeng came to the prefect's mansion frequently, so the guards at the gate saw that Zhao Yunpeng didn't even inform them, so they took them in directly.

Sima Xing was also very young, around the age of about [-], when Zhao Yunpeng brought Ye Guqing and Liu Butler into the inner courtyard, Sima Xing was wearing a moon-white gown with his back facing them and they were watering the well-growing bonsai in the courtyard.Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw several people handing over the things in their hands to the boy next to him, smiling softly and nodding at them.

President Sima is very handsome, and he is wearing a white gown that makes him look even more outstanding.If it wasn't for Zhao Yunpeng's guidance, Ye Guqing couldn't believe that this young man with a dusty temperament turned out to be the prefect of Suijiang City.

"What wind brought you, Yunpeng, into my mansion today?" Sima Xing teased Zhao Yunpeng, and then shifted his gaze to Ye Guqing. "Who is this……"

Seeing that Sima Xing turned his eyes to Ye Guqing, Zhao Yunpeng stretched out his hand and patted Ye Guqing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "He is a friend I just met, and he is also the one who wants to buy my boat. He is from Xuancheng, his name is Ye Guqing green."

Ye Guqing moved to the side, cupped his fists and bowed to Sima Xing and said: "Next, Ye Guqing, I have seen the prefect Sima."

Seeing this, Sima Xingxu raised Ye Guqing's arm, and said with a slight smile, "Since you are Yunpeng's friend, you are also my Sima Xing's friend. If Mr. Ye doesn't mind, please follow Yunpeng and call me brother."

"This..." Ye Guqing intentionally showed a little flattered, then bowed and said: "In this case, Zijin would be more respectful than obedient."

Sima Xing led a few people into the living room, and after letting the servants watch tea, Zhao Yunpeng explained the purpose of his visit.Therefore, Sima Qing hurriedly asked someone to fetch a pen and paper to prove it for the two of them.After that, Zhao Yunpeng told Sima Xing about Ye Guqing's desire to develop in Suijiang City. After hearing this, Sima Xing frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.

"It's not impossible, it's just that the court has expressly stipulated that if you have to pay a certain amount of taxes."

Hearing what Sima Xing said, Ye Guqing nodded immediately: "This little brother understands that I will pay the tax every cent, and I won't embarrass my brother."

Ye Guqing's words made Sima Xing heave a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"In this case, then I have nothing to say. And this matter is also a good thing for Suijiang City, and I will strongly support it. You just go ahead and do it. If you have any troubles, just come to me. As long as I If I can solve it for you, I will try my best to help you solve it.”

Hearing this, Ye Guqing and Zhao Yunpeng got up at the same time, cupped their hands and thanked Sima Xing.

Several people exchanged pleasantries again, Sima Xing asked the housekeeper to order a table of food and drink for Ye Guqing and Zhao Yunpeng in a restaurant in the city, but Ye Guqing refused because he still had something to do.Seeing this, Sima Xing didn't force him to stay, and personally sent him to the door.Ye Guqing originally thought that Zhao Yunpeng would go back with him, but he didn't know that the other party said that he was going to have a meal at the prefect's mansion, so Ye Guqing and Steward Liu left first.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Guqing thought about Zhao Yunpeng and Sima Xing, always felt that their relationship was too close, so he asked Butler Liu.

Hearing Ye Guqing's question, Steward Liu nodded and said, "I've heard a lot about this prefect these days in Suijiang City. In the past, this Sima prefect was the son of a long-term worker in the Zhao family. He has been with him since he was a child. Boss Zhao grew up together. This prefect Sima was smart and smart since he was a child, and he was very fond of Mr. Zhao, and he has been supporting him in his studies. Later, when the number one scholar in high school in Sima returned to his hometown, the first thing he did was to go to Mr. Zhao’s grave. It is normal for the family to be close, and this Master Sima is also a person who does not forget his roots, and even now he will take his wife and children to Zhao's house during the holidays."

Hearing Butler Liu's words, Ye Guqing nodded and said nothing, and ran to the inn in a carriage.

Suddenly Ye Guqing remembered one thing, that is, he remembered to go to his house with Liao Qiyun to meet that worldly expert.
