The villain is far from my CP!

There are a total of seven streets and ten alleys in Liangyoufang City, with more than a hundred businesses, all of which have their own unspoken rules.

The neat 300 Wen a stone for coarse grains is still the result of killing Yan’s family, more than double the previous 120 Wen.

The three eastern counties are densely populated. To maintain the minimum living needs of all the victims, as well as the labor rations for emergency repairs to the dam, nearly 20 stone grains are needed every day. It takes at least ten days to transport the relief food from other places, that is 6 shi, [-] taels of silver.

If you really want to borrow grain, even if it is distributed to all the grain merchants, the family will have to bear two thousand shi.

The remaining grain in the Jiangdu granary is only enough for three days. Can he really borrow enough grain for emergency in such a short time?

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the depths of the grain store, which brought him back to his senses and did not run into his master.

He Cheng broke out in a cold sweat, Qi Changting has a quirk, and he doesn't like to be close to others. If he really bumps into him, he may be in bad luck today.

But why did the master stop suddenly?

He looked up suspiciously.

Hey!

In the corner of the grain store, the girl is wearing a light blue robe, which is a very popular way to wear men's clothing nowadays. It is neat and cool, but...

She lowered her head and seemed to be enduring the pain.

Next to it was a large rice vat, and the muffled sound just now was probably caused by her accidentally bumping into it, and the reason why she hit the rice vat was probably because she was frightened when she turned around and saw the two of them just now.

Tsk, why don't women just be cowardly?

It's not a glorious thing to be hijacked into the city by a strange man. It was good for them to pretend that they didn't know each other, but now they don't talk to each other, but it's just trying to cover it up.

Qi Changting obviously thought so too, so he took the initiative to nod in greeting, with a gentle and polite face, holding a folding fan in his right hand, and making a bow across several rows of rice vats.

"Is the girl here to buy food too?"

Although the grain store is large, there are not many people. Although there is a distance between the two, it does not affect the communication.

This gentle and magnetic voice was completely different from the Qi Changting who told He Cheng to get out of the hospital. He Cheng couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body, but the little girls seemed to eat this one.

I saw a pair of apricot eyes tentatively looking over, and replied softly as if inspired: "I'm not here to buy grain, just to understand some market conditions."

Qi Changting frowned imperceptibly.

Even if it is a merchant family, there is no reason for a woman to come to this complicated market to show her face and watch the market. Moreover, she is still alone?

Qi Changting glanced slightly from the corner of his eye, confirming that the little maid did not follow today.

Does this girl really not understand the defense between men and women, or is she deliberately... wanting to repay her kindness?

——"Hey, my subordinate actually has some guesses, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Because of He Cheng's misleading yesterday, Qi Changting's thoughts gradually drifted to an unspeakable place.

Bai Qiao didn't know anything about it, and waited quietly, his eyes slightly drooping, but in fact, his heart was already burning with urgency.

She ran out secretly, and Bai Xiao would definitely find out in a while, if she didn't get it done by the time Bai Xiao found it, it would be a disaster!

Finally, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Then I won't bother you any more, and I'll take my leave."

After Qi Changting finished speaking, he turned around and left - the kindness of bringing them into the city must be repaid, but it is absolutely impossible to repay in this way.

Bai Qiao: "..."

She saw Qi Changting's avoidance, and for a moment she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Even if he wanted to defend himself like a jade for the heroine, he wouldn't just run away when he sees other women, he can't talk about business!

Baiqiao is helpless, she is bound to win today, and if Shan dies, it will be her, so she can only take the initiative to attack.

"Master Qi," Bai Qiao walked around the rice pole and quickly followed.

He Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to meet his master's impatient eyes. He quickly turned sideways and stopped in front of Baiqiao.

It's not good for an acquaintance to be close to the master, let alone a stranger who only met once.

"Girl, please stay."

But Baiqiao didn't look at him, just followed Qi Changting's back, raised his voice and said quickly: "Mr. Qi must have come to the grain store to buy some grain and resell it to the disaster area to make a difference, but the money he escorted was lost and he lost his money." , and now I am worrying, am I right or wrong?"

Knowing that Qi Changting wanted to conceal the identity of the prince and buy food for the purpose of disaster relief, Bai Qiao offered him a perfect reason.

"If the money is lost, the government will investigate it, so don't worry about it." He Chengcheng answered the words immediately, and the hostility in his eyes gradually grew.

"But the business opportunity is fleeting. The government has just investigated the sheriff. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you for a while because of disaster relief." Bai Qiao took another step forward, only glanced at He Cheng, and then stared at Qi Changting again.

In front, Qi Changting suddenly stopped.

A cool and sweet smell slowly penetrated into the nose.

He didn't know why a smell made him feel cool, but he did feel as if he was touching a pebble under a waterfall, which probably originated from a mountain spring, with a hint of sweetness rather than sweetness, which made people want to stop.

The boy turned around, and his gaze was almost instantly locked on the girl who was staring at him.

Since he was a child, his sense of smell is super sensitive to ordinary people, especially he can't smell men's sweat and women's makeup, so he doesn't like others to approach him very much, and the strange smell right now...

Qi Changting suddenly didn't know what to call this smell, saying that it was aroma seemed to be a bit profane.

"He Cheng." The boy said softly.

He Cheng was surprised, and turned his head to confirm that Qi Changting really wanted him to make way, and then turned sideways to avoid it after a pause.

"What does the girl want to say?" The young man still had a gentle tone, and he took a step forward calmly, and the taste became more and more clear.

Is it a sachet?

Qi Changting's eyes swept across Baiqiao's waist without any trace.

Bai Qiao took a deep breath, she knew that it was impossible to introduce herself in a natural way, so she went all out and said bluntly: "I help you raise money and food, can you give me a job and take me to the Eastern Capital?"

Qi Changting's attention was all on Baiqiao's sachet, and without thinking, he replied according to the way he had strayed before: "I'm really sorry, but I have a heart..."

Master...

and many more.

"What did you just say?"

"What did you just say?"

With the same astonishment, two different voices asked the same sentence in unison.

Qi Changting suspected that he had heard it wrong, and Bai Qiao's eyes widened suddenly, and he desperately suppressed the corners of his mouth.

What did he want to say just now?

What did she just say?

What does he have in mind? !

She is a woman, what she wants is an errand? !

The expressions of the two were different, and the grain store fell into a strange silence for a while. He Cheng looked around and called softly.

"Sir?"

Qi Changting recovered without a trace.

Bai Qiao knocked the candy by accident, his eyes were so bright, he let out a soft "ah" when he heard this, and finally remembered the purpose of his trip.

"Hey, I mean, I can help you raise food within two days, and raise funds within ten days, as long as you give me a decent job that can be permanent in Dongdu."

She reiterated her promise and request again.

Qi Changting took a serious look at Bai Qiao for the first time, but this time he really smiled.

He finally kind of believed that this was the woman who dared to pour wine all over Yan Tong's face in public. amazing.

"Girl, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Qi Changting took a step forward again, staring at Bai Qiao's eyes casually, but seeing that the other party refused to give in for a moment, looking back fixedly, there was a bit of wanton flamboyance that couldn't be concealed, everything was kept silent.

Qi Changting's expression was slightly startled, and the corners of his lips became more curved.He is rare for this woman's sachet, and he is even more interested in things that surprise him.

He was helpless, the woman in front of him...

"Why?"

Bai Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and took out an envelope from his bosom, "This is the deposit. If you want to cooperate, you can come to the White Mansion to find me, and you will pay the balance when the time comes."

Seeing Qi Changting take the envelope and open it in front of her, Bai Qiao's heart settled down.

——At least in this era, no one can refuse her plan.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. After confirming that Qi Changting will seriously consider her plan, Bai Qiao left immediately and went back to the restaurant to find Bai Xiao.

Beside the alley opposite the grain store, a young man in a white robe stood next to a woman in a light yellow dress, silently watching Baiqiao's back.

Bai Xiao's face was gloomy, and she was about to go to the grain store to find the man who seemed to be very familiar with her sister, but Bai Qing grabbed his sleeve.

"Third brother, don't be rash. We don't know the details of the other party, but the other party has a letter written by A Qiao in his hand. If he is not easy to get along with, if the letter is made public, A Qiao's reputation will be worse."

Bai Qing looked worried, raised her eyes and suggested: "Why don't you go back and tell your father first, and let your father decide?"

When Bai Xiao heard this, she really stopped in her tracks, but she glanced at Bai Qing with a half-smile.

"Brother, why do you look at Ah Qing so much?" Bai Qing couldn't help avoiding her eyes, but still insisted on saying: "I also think about Ah Qiao."

"Yes, I was indeed impulsive just now, but I don't need to tell my father." Bai Xiao refused without changing his face, and said flatly: "Aqiao is my sister, and I know her temperament. The content of the letter may not be big. What the lady said, I will ask her personally later, so I won't bother others."

"Also," the young man paused slightly, and looked at the woman in front of him who lowered her head, "Miss, you should call me third brother. Bai Xiao is a bastard, but I don't dare to be called elder brother."

"It's getting late, Missy will go home earlier, I'll take my leave first."

The author has something to say:

Qi Changting: Girl, I have a sweetheart, we can't do it.

Bai Qiao: emmmmm?Is the hero in the original text so narcissistic?

Then, Qi Changting fell off the horse, and the full text ended.
