Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

After the family had finished their afternoon meal, night had already fallen.

The lanterns on the promenades in all the yards of Xiao's house were lit, and when the moon was not up, the lights looked dim and hazy.

The family members are all sitting or standing in the yard, talking and laughing while waiting for the full moon.

The little niece and Xiao Zi were chasing and playing with lanterns, and the noise continued.

Jiang called Si Qinghu to talk in the room. Xiao Tong held a piece of Kongming lantern that had not been disassembled, and stood beside the pillars in the corridor of the courtyard, looking at the sky and turning around, seeming puzzled.

What is there to talk about between grandma and Si Qinghu?

After the moon comes out, she will release sky lanterns with Si Qinghu.

Xiao Yi saw that everyone regarded Si Qinghu as family today, and recalled that Xiangguo and Si Qinghu met that day, and she felt a little heavy in her heart.

Si Qinghu is probably not someone her family Shiro can afford, and the family members are probably too happy.

She thought about these words for a long time, and when she saw Xiao Tong standing alone, she walked up to her, folded her hands on her chest, and after a moment of silence, said: "Big rice bucket, what are you thinking about?"

"What do you think grandma can say to Qinghu alone?" Xiao Tong asked in surprise.

"Grandma naturally has her reasons." Xiao Yi said, then changed the topic, and said, "But there is something I have to talk to you about, I'm afraid everyone is too happy."

"what's up?"

"Qinghu met Lord Xiangguo yesterday."

Xiao Tong was startled, and couldn't help becoming worried. He didn't expect Xiangguo to investigate people so quickly.

"Then did he embarrass Qinghu?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, but told Xiao Tong about yesterday's situation.

Yesterday, Xiao Yi waited for an hour, but Si Qinghu hadn't come back. She was worried that she would be taken hostage, so she searched along the street, and when she reached the end of the street, by the sparsely populated river, she found that Si Qinghu was holding on to a willow tree and weeping bitterly. .

She wanted to go over to comfort her, but her junior sister's family affairs were a secret she kept in her heart, how could she easily tell others?After all, she stopped in her tracks and stood around watching.

It wasn't until Si Qinghu calmed down and put on her veiled hat to leave that she quietly went back to the rouge shop.

Xiao Tong felt pain in his heart when he heard it, he punched the pillar fiercely, and cursed: "You bastard! It's fine to force my daughter away, but now I have the nerve to come out and recognize her and make her sad!"

Xiao Yi sighed: "Don't scold me now! He is the prime minister, and Qinghu is the daughter of the prime minister. Think about yourself!"

Xiao Tong was puzzled, and Xiao Yi explained: "Xiangguo's daughter is selling art in our dental shop, if it is investigated, our Xiao family will not be able to afford it!"

"So what? Is it possible that I still persuade Qinghu to go home?"

Xiao Yi said: "If you have to, it's the only way."

Xiao Tong knew that Si Qinghu didn't like that family, so he escaped. How could she persuade her to go back and face the hideous family members every day?

She clearly stated her position, Xiao Yi asked back: "Are you really not afraid that Xiangguo will trouble you?"

Xiao Tong didn't take it seriously, and said aggressively, "What am I afraid of? His daughter is still in my hands, so what is there to be afraid of?"

"puff!"

A faint laugh came from behind.

Both Xiao Tong and Xiao Yi looked back, only to see Si Qinghu standing on the promenade, covering his mouth and smiling, only a foot away from them.

Just now, Xiao Tong spoke out loud, but she listened to it all.

Feeling ashamed, Xiao Tong smiled awkwardly, "Qinghu, you are back."

Si Qinghu hummed, and walked in front of them in small steps.

Suddenly, the little niece pointed to the sky and shouted: "The moonlight is coming out!"

Everyone looked up at the night sky. The moon was like a white jade basin, big and round, hanging in the sky.

Everyone took apart the Kongming lanterns one after another, ready to light them up, and prayed for a safe and peaceful day ahead.

Xiao Li's family of three set off a lamp.

Xiao Zi and Xiao Yunu put one together, Xiao Yunu complained: "Why don't you buy one more, it makes me want to put it with you!"

Xiao Zi was dissatisfied, and replied, "Who told you not to buy it yourself? I don't think you have, but you are so pitiful that you allowed you to release it with me!"

"I'll light the lamp later."

"No, I'll order!"

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xiao put a lamp together, and when they were about to light it, Mrs. Chen noticed that Xiao Zhen was gone, looked around, and said loudly, "Where is Mrs. Zhen, why did she disappear after eating?"

Xiao Yi suddenly realized that Xiao Zhen went to find Lin Yifang after eating, and asked her to find a reason to prevaricate in front of her mother, she hurriedly said: "Oh, the eldest sister said that there is an article in the tabloid that needs to be corrected, go to the tooth okay!"

"Are you so busy this Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Xiao Tong divided the Kongming Lantern into half and Si Qinghu took it, "Let's put it together!"

Si Qinghu raised a gentle smile and nodded.

The two of them pulled off the lantern paper, a long one sitting on the ground.Xiao Tong gently pulled the corner of the lamp to prevent it from flying away, and handed Si Qinghu a brush.

"Come on, write down your wishes."

Si Qinghu took the pen, looked deeply at Xiao Tong for a moment, then dipped in the ink, smiled, blushed and wrote down the words "May I be with you forever and ever and ever".

Fortunately, Xiao Tong was standing opposite her, so he couldn't see these words.

She handed the pen to Xiao Tong, and after Xiao Tong took it, he rested his chin and thought, remembering what Xiao Yi told her just now, after seeing Xiangguo yesterday, Si Qinghu cried for a long time by the river, took a look and still pretended to be indifferent Si Qinghu wrote, "May Qinghu live a happy and worry-free life."

They were very tacit, without peeping at what each other wrote.

Xiao Tong brought up the Kongming Lantern, and Si Qinghu took the torch and lit the Kongming Lantern.

Each of them held a corner of the Kongming lantern, and the two lines of writing written were clearly visible under the light of the fire.

The dim light reflected on Si Qinghu's face, making her affectionate eyes sparkle, she was extraordinarily beautiful, Xiao Tong couldn't help but take a second look.

Xiao Tong said: "Let go!"

"Ah."

They let go of their hands, raised their heads, and watched the Kongming lanterns slowly rise into the night sky.

"May day and night, be with the king"

"May Qinghu be happy and worry-free throughout his life."

Thousands of households raised Kongming lanterns one after another, dotting the night sky of Bianjing with rays of light.

On such a beautiful day, Xiao Tong and Si Qinghu still maintained the position where they just put the Kongming lanterns and stood face to face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Tong said earnestly: "Qinghu, you don't have to worry about what happened at the Prime Minister's mansion that day. It's what I should do to protect you."

"I know you have something on your mind. Whenever you are willing to tell me, I will listen to you carefully and try my best to help you."

She knew about her current relationship with Si Qinghu, and it was not appropriate to ask about her past.But the way she endured the pain in silence really made her feel bad. As long as she is willing to speak, she is always waiting to listen!

Si Qinghu was moved to the point of tears, and said, "Thank you, Shiro."

"Bamboo dragonfly, fly, fly!"

The cheerful child's voice suddenly rang in my ears, and the little niece ran after a bamboo dragonfly hovering in the air.

Xiao Zi walked over holding two bamboo dragonflies, stuffed one into Xiao Tong's hands, "here" and then went after the little niece again.

This is what he just brought his little niece outside the door to buy.

Xiao Tong handed the bamboo dragonfly to Si Qinghu, "For you."

Si Qinghu looked at the child's plaything, lost in thought, remembered the bamboo dragonfly that his mother gave him when he was a child, suddenly smiled, took the bamboo dragonfly, rubbed the round wooden handle in his palm twice, let go, the bamboo dragonfly Flying around the yard.

Xiao Tong smiled and said, "I'll pick it up for you!"

Si Qinghu looked at the bamboo dragonfly flying high, Xiao Tong chased after it, as cheerful as a child, she couldn't help giggling.

When it was about to die, Xiao Tong sent Si Qinghu and Xiao Yunu back to Yaxing, and then returned home.

It was late at night, the sound of fireworks outside gradually subsided, and the carnival of the common people also fell silent.

Si Qinghu sat by the window, looked through the window at the sporadic fireworks in the distant sky, then looked away, and played with the bamboo dragonfly in his hand, remembering what Grandma Xiao Tong said to her alone tonight, the corners of his lips curled up in happiness smile.

Grandma said that she already treated her as a granddaughter-in-law, and hoped that she would treat Xiao's family as her own without being cautious.

She asked in disbelief: "Lady, but I'm just a geisha, can I be worthy of Shiro?"

She is a prodigal geisha who makes a living by performing arts and laughing, and in the eyes of decent people, she is doing a despicable job.Women in their profession are taken in by good people, and most of them are concubines or concubines. How many of them are lucky enough to become regular wives?

Although the Xiao family is a family of merchants, they are also pure ordinary people. Does grandma really not care about her identity at all?

Grandma held her hand, smiled kindly, and said: "Silly boy, our Xiao family is just a family of dentists, not some officials and dignitaries. What's more, what's wrong with geisha, geisha earn a living by their own ability, how many people You can’t do it yet! Shiro’s grandma is also a geisha, so you don’t have to worry that grandma will oppose you.”

At this moment, she felt a sense of belonging that she had never felt before.

She will marry Xiao Tong in the future.

the other side of the yard.

Xiao Tong was lying on a large sandalwood canopy bed, with the quilt covering his chest, his eyes open, his mind was full of Si Qinghu.

If Master Xiangguo really used Xiao's teeth, even threatened her with his life, and asked her to send Si Qinghu back to the Xiangfu, what would she do?

She closed her eyes and thought, but the image of Si Qinghu standing in front of the Kongming lantern immediately appeared in her mind, the dim light reflected her beautiful face, and then the image of their lips touching and kissing.

She opened her eyes suddenly in fright, and took a deep breath.

She actually brought the kiss that night into Si Qinghu's face.

Did she really like her artist?

Anxiety made her lips dry, she got up and put on her clothes, went outside and poured a cup of tea, the moment she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of the portrait of Si Qinghu hanging on the wall, and walked over uncontrollably.

The person in the painting is playing the pipa under the half-covered white curtain, and she can only see her beautiful eyebrows and eyes through a gap blown away by the wind.

Xiao Tong couldn't help but raised his hand to caress the face of the person in the painting, smiled and sighed, feeling helpless and resigned to his fate!

She was born to love daughters, such a beautiful woman even surprised her at first sight.What's more, during these days, we get along day by day.

She has felt Si Qinghu's talent, felt her kindness to her, acted like a baby to her, seen her most beautiful scene on the stage, and also seen her most painful and entangled side facing her biological father. No matter what she is, Xiao Tong was both fascinated and pitied.

She knew that she was just a businessman, and the other geisha in the dental shop was Xiangguo's daughter, so she must seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so she advised her to leave the dental shop and go home without hesitation.But it happened to be Si Qinghu, she didn't think she was a cash cow and kept her to make money.But knowing that Si Qinghu rejected that family, he couldn't bear to force her even half of it.

If Li Zao wants to blame her, she is not afraid to bear all the storms for Si Qinghu!

If this is not like, then what is it?

It's a pity that she is not her original body, and she doesn't have to be together if she likes it.

Firstly, she made an oath to Si Qinghu, the basis of their cooperation is not to have any unreasonable thoughts about her; secondly, she is a manager, and Si Qinghu is an artist, if they can maintain their rationality and not cross the line, they will be able to treat each other well. it's the best.

That's it, it's good to stay by her side silently.

The author has something to say: Mr. Xiao began to fall in love with Qinghu secretly, and the trend gradually becomes clear...

In the next chapter, I will continue to go back to my business to make money.
