Enemies are reborn

Zhao Xiran is not an ordinary woman, she has her own subjective view of people and things, and the heroic girl in front of her feels a difference.After sizing up with sharp eyes, he looked at Xiao Kunning: "Xiao Ke, you are back, that Mrs. Xiao treated you badly?"

When it comes to Xiao Mingwang and his wife, she is too calm, like a stranger she doesn't know, making Shen Rui unable to understand this woman.

The woman who dominates the shopping mall is decisive and sharp without dragging her feet.

She greeted Zhao Xiran as a junior: "Aunt Zhao."

As soon as the word 'Auntie' came out, the corners of Zhao Xiran's mouth twitched. Seeing that he was about to turn his face, Xiao Kunning kept Shen Rui behind him: "Zhao Xiran, is your daughter back?"

Zhao Xiran is well maintained, her face is fair and delicate like a young girl, although she is not Xiao Kunning's mother, there is one similarity between the two, that is, those peach blossom eyes.

She stroked the broken hair on her temples, and said: "No, if you don't come back and pull it down, it will be cheaper for you. When I die, all the Zhao family's money will be yours."

Hearing this, Shen Rui was not happy, and a hostility from the bottom of his heart was captured, as if it was Ah Ning's turn after Xiao Wenxue didn't want it, and his green brows and eyes were immediately tinged with coldness: "Aunt Zhao is too worried. , Ah Ning does not lack these."

Zhao Xiran remained in a stalemate, and took another look at her, attracted by the jade huang around her slender waist. Not to mention the high quality, it was exquisitely polished, and one could tell at a glance that it was either rich or expensive.

The Xiao family did not have any rich and powerful relatives, and the Luo family had long since fallen, let alone such priceless things.

She unconsciously took another look: "Which mansion is the little girl?"

Shen Rui smiled lightly, and raised his jaw proudly: "The Shen family of Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

Zhao Xiran smiled openly, "So it's the little princess, please invite me inside."

Xiao Kunning: "..."

Shen Rui: "..."

Zhao Xiran took Shen Rui's hand and walked into the house. He held her hand and asked her about her family background, how many people were in her family, and whether she had brothers or sisters.

No matter how big or small, ask clearly.

Xiao Kunning got used to it, Zhao Xiran traveled all over the world, his eyes were sharp, he could say whatever he wanted to say, traffickers, pawns, court ministers, he could answer fluently, it was not strange to see Shen Rui's identity.

She came to Qingcheng because she wanted to use the power of the Zhao family to inquire about the situation on the border.

Did the King of Zhennan conspire against him?

The two people in the room were gossiping, the maid came in with scented tea, Zhao Xiran was holding rose tea, picking the softest petals of roses, and frying them dry over high fire.

Shen Rui looked at the roses floating in the teacup, quite curious, Zhao Xiran explained to her: "It's beautiful, but you are young, you don't need it, just have a drink."

Xiao Kunning held the scented tea and took a sip lightly. The aroma of roses lingered, and the memories of many years ago flooded into his mind. When he looked up, it was Shen Rui's profile.

It is so familiar that it cannot be more familiar. Compared with the memory of Shen Rui, there is less hostility and sharpness, and more bland beauty.

After a while, Zhao Xiran excused himself and said, "I have a hot spring here, go and have a look and try it."

Calling people to go to the hot springs as soon as they got started, Mr. Zhao's way of thinking is different.

Shen Rui didn't refuse, but agreed meekly, smiled with Aning, and left happily.

The calm and flamboyant girl is like a gust of warm wind, always so warm.

Xiao Kunning lowered her eyes guiltily, and when she was staring at the floor tiles, there was a shadow in front of her. Zhao Xiran stood in front of her and poked her on the forehead: "I'm not good enough for you, come to me to rescue soldiers?"

"You think too much, you should have business dealings at the border?"

The scented tea in Zhao Xiran's hand, "Why, do you want my border business? To tell you the truth, Zhao's business at the border is a loss-making business. You know that the military salary allocated by the emperor to Zhennan King is not as good as every year. That small county The Lord looks at the boundless scenery, but I'm afraid I don't know the hardships involved."

Xiao Kunning was surprised: "The emperor wants to kill King Zhennan?"

After so many things in the previous life, even though he doesn't understand the government, it is a big taboo to have no salary for the army.

Zhao Xiran shook his head: "I don't understand these things, it's just news from the border. By the way, why did that old woman from the Luo family promise you to come back?"

She used come back instead of come over.

Xiao Kunning smiled bitterly: "She doesn't know. I want news about your border crossings, will you give it to me?"

She wanted to know whether King Zhennan had rebelled before Zhao Mian was convicted.

Shen Rui finally rebelled, following Xie Yu.

Zhao Xiran is a businessman, and she is the lowest in the class of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but she lives recklessly, and she doesn't understand Xiao Kunning's worries, so she didn't feel her thoughts for a while, and said: "If you want it, I will give it to you." , put money in by yourself.”

Xiao Kunning: "Give me your Mo Xiangzhai."

Zhao Xiran agreed: "Yes, it is also a loss-making business. The master behind the Hengxiang Pavilion has a lot of background, so I don't need to argue with them."

The affairs in Chang'an City are not a business that you can take as many as you have, but take care of all directions. Although your ability is strong, your life is more important.

Xiao Kunning got a headache when he heard it, "It's all a loss-making business, what's the point of you doing it?"

Zhao Xiran said: "Chang'an is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, we have lived in the Jiangnan border for a long time. If we want to know what happened in Chang'an in time, we must have our own contacts. When someone tells you, it will be dusk. Do you think you can do it again?" Forget it, is there still time?"

Xiao Kunning was silent. She was in Chang'an in her previous life and ignored many things. Now that she thinks about it, she is nothing more than a small shrimp and a big fish in front of Xie Yu.

Even in comparison, Xiao Kunning thinks highly of her.

"I understand what you said. Mo Xiangzhai can just give it to me. I don't know how to lose money, so just train me."

Zhao Xiran looked down on her very much: "Do you know Qin?"

Xiao Kunning shook her head: "I don't understand."

Zhao Xiran almost flipped the table: "You don't know piano, what kind of piano shop do you open, they can cheat you out of your fortune with just one piano."

Xiao Kunning: "..."

Zhao Xiran thought about it again: "I don't care if I give it to you if you want it, and I don't care if you post all your monthly money."

Anyway, she has more than one store in Chang'an City.

Xiao Kunning gritted his teeth and wanted to go to Moxiangzhai, and left the front hall absent-mindedly. Zhao's mansion is very spacious, and the houses are densely populated. If he hadn't lived here for a while, he would have almost lost his way.

The luggage in the car had already been removed and sent to the courtyard, and the maid led her to see Shen Rui.

Shen Rui is soaking in hot springs.

He was only wearing a middle coat around his body, and the wet skirt was tightly attached to his skin. In the misty mountains and far away, there was a veil.

Xiao Kunning stopped at a distance, the soft couch on one side was covered with thick mink fur, and behind the rosewood screen was the steaming hot spring.

The spring room is quite large, just like a courtyard in the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Kunning was used to the extravagant court life in his previous life, so he didn't feel his eyes widen when he saw this scene.

Zhao Xiran is deviant and has done many surprising things, but his way of doing business cannot be forgotten.

When they fell out with Xiao Mingwang back then, the Zhao family was just a small family. Under Zhao Xiran's hands, it grew stronger and stronger, and it will develop by leaps and bounds in the next few years. Even Xie Yu began to fear her.

Zhao Xiran is different from others, her behavior and thinking are higher than ordinary people.

When she was young, she saw Zhao Xiran swearing at the sky when she was drunk. Women are young, so there are many inconveniences in this era, and there are many rules that restrain men, but she lives wantonly and unrestrainedly.

When talking with people, because Zhao Xiran is a woman, she is often contemptuous and even behaves frivolously, she can turn her face immediately, no matter how big the interests are, she will not blink.

One year, Zhao Xiran beat a boss until he was unconscious, and almost ended up in prison because of it.

Shen Rui came out, changed her clothes, she was still chic, and the round-neck robe added a bit of childishness, she sighed and said: "The temperament of this Zhao Dongjia and Xiao Wenxue is thousands of miles away. A bit like her, the Zhao family is a place with a treasure of geomantic omens that raised a good girl like you."

Xiao Kunning didn't care about her good words, the purpose of coming here has been achieved, after staying for two days, it's time to return to Chang'an.

But Shen Rui said: "Sir, you have gone to the post house, do you want to go and have a look?"

To visit Xie Yu?Xiao Kunning shook her head directly, she wished she could never see Xie Yu for the rest of her life.

"It's okay, I won't go to see it." Shen Rui doted on her without asking why.

****

Zhao Manor's dinner is exquisite, especially the wine, which is close to red wine, sweet in taste and not lacking in alcohol.

The chef grilled the lamb chops, the taste is burnt, and the sauce is also prepared differently. One bite, there is no smell of mutton.

Shen Rui grew up on the border, and he could hardly eat this kind of lamb chops, so he had to eat a few more pieces at night, and he was full of praise.

Zhao Xiran was sitting on the main seat, with red wine in her hand, her slender fingers were white against the background, the corners of her bright red lips were slightly pursed, and she looked at Xiao Kunning who was sitting upright, "Are you tired?"

Xiao Kunning turned around: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Xiran looked up at the roof, and said outrageous words: "Life is short for decades, and you have lived for 17 years. Don't you think it's a waste to be so depressed? Timely gratification is king. It's not fair to women here. You're still so young. It’s so miserable, it’s better not to live.”

Shen Rui wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, and he didn't quite understand the phrase 'this place is unfair to women', so he asked, "Auntie..."

"Shut up, and call Auntie again, I will marry Ning Ning to someone else." Zhao Xiran was displeased.

Shen Rui shut up resentfully, instead of calling Auntie or Sister?

So isn't she and Ah Ning the next generation?

Zhao Xiran took the initiative: "Before you two get married, you can call me sister."

Shen Rui: "..." She has no shortage of sisters.

After drinking and eating, Zhao Xiran sent Xiao Kunning back to the house.

The moonlight shines on people, the fragrance of conversation along the way, and the scenery of Zhao Mansion at night is also beautiful.

Zhao Xiran pulled Xiao Kunning forward, and Shen Rui followed behind sullenly, listening to the sister of the Zhao family: "I don't understand what kind of soup the Luo family gave you, women put themselves first, don't follow the Luo family's way of doing things." Husband is heaven, if the man is not good, he will be replaced, the little princess is very good..."

Shen Rui is very happy.

With hurried footsteps behind him, the housekeeper chased after him: "Master, the posthouse sent a message, and the way is to thank the grand master for coming to pay a visit tomorrow."

*****

Zhao Xiran has traveled almost every inch of land in the Great Zhou. There are all kinds of people, wanderers who walk the world with their swords, children from rich families who travel the mountains and rivers, and even court officials who sit in high halls. They all have their own characteristics, and sometimes you can see through them at a glance identity of.

Only this person in front of him, with a lonely sail and a distant shadow, is elegant and sassy, ​​behaves like a hermit, and looks like a fairy in the moon.

Her complexion is beautiful and alluring, her eyes are like mountains and white snow.

She looked down at the name post in disbelief, Grand Tutor Xie Yu.

A woman who teaches in the royal family is a little taller than the students in the school, no, the monthly ratio is much higher.

In terms of rank and family background, it seems that she is not as good as the little princess.
