Raiders characters should be blackened

?It is now approaching winter, and the business of the shops below has decreased a lot compared to before, and all shopkeepers are starting to take inventory.

When the new year is approaching, the business is booming. One is that there is no time and energy to do these things, and the other is that there are only a few days of business in the twelfth lunar month. The rest of the time, the shopkeeper and the servants have to close the shop and go back to celebrate the new year. In the coming year, they have to purchase according to the summarized inventory list. , it is naturally best to take inventory at this time.

As soon as the business in the shops down there is less, the account books handed over also decrease. Originally, housekeeper Lin took care of most of the affairs of the Qiao Mansion, but now that there are fewer affairs, Qiao Lin will be more free~

Rong Xi was very happy. Qiao Lin had nothing to do and didn't want to go out, so he spent almost all day with him~

When he was reciting the book, Qiao Lin took the book and proofread it; when he practiced martial arts, Qiao Lin wiped his sweat for him;

In fact, how could he find it hard, this is his happiest day, having his brother by his side all day long, his brother's gaze only rests on himself, and in his brother's eyes, only himself is reflected~

He wished that the teacher would be stricter and the training harder, only in this way, the elder brother would look at him with tender and loving eyes, wipe his sweat and rub his shoulders, and feed him with water and food~ Only on this day Only then can he be sure that the Qiao Lin in front of him is his only elder brother~

However, Qiao Lin is not completely out of things to do. The city lord's birthday is approaching. In addition to preparing for the birthday banquet in the next few days, the more important thing is to strive for the qualification to do business with Jiaguo and obtain the documents for customs clearance.

Licheng is the foundation of Qiao Mansion, but since the foundation of Qiao Mansion is already solid, it is natural to seek better development.

Qiao Lin is not interested in these things. He always pays attention to stability. He is very satisfied with the situation of Qiao Mansion, and he doesn't want to do any business expansion. However, Lin Butler talked with him for a long time, and he could only agree.

The customs clearance documents and business qualifications are ultimately stamped by the city lord's mansion. It is necessary to establish a good relationship with the city lord's mansion. If the documents are obtained before the end of the year, they will be purchased together in the spring of next year. , Qingzhou and Liangcheng around Licheng can also be filled with shops in Qiaofu~

The idea is very good, but the city lord's mansion has never leaked anything. It is rumored that Bai Qiao and the two mansions have a deep friendship, but Qiao Lin can only talk to Bai Qiong and Bai Ye brothers and sisters...

So for grasping this matter, Qiao Lin still said "hehe" twice, let's see luck at that time~

I have to say that the city lord's mansion has a lot of face. In order to attend the birthday banquet, Cui'er specially called a tailor to order a set of clothes for Qiao Lin. The robe was made of dark green brocade, the belt with jade buttons and the pure white coat. The quilt is trimmed in silver, and Qiao Lin looked beautiful in the mirror for a while when she was trying on clothes~

Rong Xi really likes to watch Qiao Lin groom and dress up. Every morning when Tweety helps Qiao Lin to wash and change clothes, he often watches from the sidelines. Qiao Lin changes clothes and washes~

When he saw Qiao Lin's new outfit, he also opened his eyes and called out how beautiful it was. Qiao Lin felt a little beautiful in his heart, "Participating in a banquet is naturally more grand than usual~"

As soon as the words fell, Rong Xi's smiling face collapsed, "Brother is going out to attend the banquet again?"

Seeing his face change so quickly, Qiao Lin laughed to himself, he was still a child~ "Yes, the city lord's birthday, I should go to congratulate him~"

Rong Xi's complexion was even worse, the City Lord's Mansion?It's that white leaf again! "I'll go with my brother!"

Qiao Lin originally planned to take Rong Xi with him, but after getting along day and night these few days, Rong Xi was almost sticky like brown sugar, but he was very sensitive, if he didn't take him, he would probably have to wander around the door of Qiao's residence for another day~

However, Qiao Lin has important tasks to attend to today, and he already has a lot of pressure in his heart. He may not be able to take care of Rong Xi at the birthday banquet, and it will not take long to add the birthday banquet. He probably will be back before dark. I don't want to worry too much.

"There are so many people at the dinner party. You don't like the excitement, and it's not convenient to go with you. I can come back before dark, so you can obediently stay at home and wait for me to return home~"

Rong Xi raised his head firmly, "I will follow my brother, I will not cause trouble for my brother, and I can protect my brother at any time!"

Qiao Lin: -_-||I knew this would be the result, children are too clingy and not cute!

"Rong Xi obediently listen to my brother, okay? When I come back from the birthday banquet, my brother will take Rong Xi out to play!"

Qiao Lin had a discussing tone, but Rong Xi would not be so foolish as to think that Qiao Lin was really discussing with him. He was afraid that Qiao Lin would get bored, so he stopped acting coquettishly, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart~

"Is brother really afraid that it will be inconvenient to bring Rong Xi? Why is it inconvenient for brother to bring Rong Xi every time he goes to see that white leaf?"

Qiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and thought about it silently, (︶^︶) Well, it seems to be true~ But it’s all a coincidence, why is it weird to hear you say it?

Seeing that Qiao Lin didn't speak, Rong Xi felt a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to really question Qiao Lin, so he agreed sullenly~

"The elder brother keeps his word, and he must come back before dark. Rong Xi waits for his elder brother to have dinner~"

After hearing this, the impatience that had just arisen in Qiao Lin's heart disappeared immediately, and instead a ray of pity surged up. Although this child is clingy to him, but at a young age, he knows how to advance and retreat, and never puts himself in a difficult situation. Thinking of him Qiao Lin couldn't help feeling ashamed of his emotions just now~

"Rong Xi, don't worry, my brother will come back to accompany Rong Xi for dinner. When the birthday banquet comes back, wherever Rong Xi wants to go, my brother will accompany you, okay?"

Rong Xi nodded obediently, watching Qiao Lin get into the carriage and disappear around the corner of the street.

What can he do now?God knows how much he wanted to be like the white leaf on Phoenix Mountain, snatching away his brother regardless of anyone's objections, and let him stay by his side forever, instead of always standing on the side of the road like a fool, watching his brother leave him, Go to someone else's side~

Rong Xi hated his own weakness to the core. It was because of his own weakness that he had to fear Qiao Lin, his rejection, his disgust, his departure, and even more fear of him discovering his...

With downcast eyes, Rong Xi concealed the inexplicable expression in her eyes, turned around and returned home...

The entire street in front of the City Lord's Mansion was paved with a bright red carpet, with big birthday characters painted on it in gold. When Qiao Lin arrived, the two sides of the road were already parked with carriages of various colors. The servants of the City Lord's Mansion were all beaming and hugging He picked up piles of gift boxes and entered the mansion.

Qiao Lin sighed, motioned to Qiao Wu beside him to hand over the gift list and invitation, and followed the servant who led the way into the mansion.

There were many guests in the garden of Nuo University in Baifu, and you can almost see the famous people in Licheng here, which is much more complete than that at the autumn hunting party. Qiao Lin looked around for a long time, but he couldn't find a place where he could sit...

Qiao Lin was feeling depressed, but he heard someone calling him. Looking around, he saw a round-faced maid winking at him~

Qiao Lin was stunned, and pointed at himself, and the girl nodded immediately. Qiao Lin understood her gesture, and walked around the flower garden into the porch.This maid is Bai Qiong's personal servant, and she came to the garden to summon her, she must have been ordered by Bai Qiong~

Bai Qiong is sitting in the small garden behind her attic at the moment, stretching her neck to look out of the garden from time to time, and Qiao Lin can see her delicate little head from afar~

Qiao Lin walked into the garden, and still didn't forget to laugh at her, "Sister Bai really looks like a groundhog on the prairie with her stretched neck like that~"

Bai Qiong didn't shy away from him either, and ran up to Qiao Lin, "What is a groundhog, why haven't I seen it before?"

Qiao Lin nodded her Ruyu's forehead, "You haven't even been out of Licheng, how can you see groundhogs?" Seeing Bai Qiong's curious face, he smiled again, "If Sister Bai really wants to see you, but It's also simple, let Zhu'er find a mirror for you, take a look at it, won't you be able to see it?"

Bai Qiong didn't know that Qiao Lin was teasing her, so she pouted, "What kind of groundhog, how can this girl be so cute ~ Brother Qiao has never been out of Licheng, how could brother Qiao have seen groundhogs?" ?”

Qiao Lin choked, can he say he saw it in the zoo......

Seeing Qiao Lin's silence, Bai Qiong thought she had caught him, and she was very proud, "I thought Brother Qiao was so well-informed, so I never saw any groundhogs? Could it be that Brother Qiao made it up?" Did you come here to lie to me?”

"Brother Qiao, how could he lie to you? Of course I have seen it. I saw it in... I read it in books. Brother Qiao, I have read a lot of books, so naturally I have seen it a lot. Sister Bai used to study, didn't she read this?"

Bai Qiong pouted, she didn't like reading, "After reading so many books, no wonder I became a nerd~"

Jolin: "..."

Bai Ye is currently receiving guests in the front hall.

A lot of people came to celebrate their birthdays, and even a lot of people had a relationship. Naturally, it was impossible for the city lord to receive them in person, so Bai Ye was sent by him.

Bai Ye naturally saw Qiao Lin's whereabouts, but didn't look for it. He just sat with the guests with a cold face, but recalled what his father said to him yesterday:

"The Qiao family's father and son are too simple and honest. I didn't like them very much at first, but I didn't think they would have their own tricks. In recent years, the Qiao family's reputation has become higher and higher. I think you have a good relationship with that Qiao Lin. I think he is not a bad person. After your birthday banquet tomorrow, keep him and invite him to my family banquet in the White Mansion, Qiong'er will be born next year, so I just invite him to watch the ceremony..."

Bai Qiong invited a man from a foreign family to watch the ceremony. Isn't this Hong Guoguo's marriage proposal? !

Bai Ye was engrossed in her thoughts, she exerted a little force on her fingers, and the porcelain cup in her hand jingled and fell to the ground. The guests around were also frightened by the cold air emanating from Bai Ye's body. They all stared at their mouths and noses and remained silent.

As long as it's about Qiao Lin's affairs, Bai Ye's emotions are always easily turbulent, but he is good at pretending. At this moment, he is obviously very upset, but his face is still iceberg, without any change.

There were a few drops of tea stains on the light-colored cuffs, it was very obvious, at this moment, Bai Ye didn't want to make false claims with these insignificant people, so she excused herself to change clothes and left the house.

There was no white leaf in the front hall, and the originally condensed atmosphere became lively instead. I wanted to use this birthday banquet to build a good relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, but seeing the air-conditioning of Young Master Bai, forget it, don't feel bad about it. , On the contrary, I was disgusted, and it would be useless to regret it at that time! ?
