The most unlucky crossing in history

It was set to leave early the next morning, and after Zhong Qiyun made arrangements for Jingzhao's place for Chengfeng Station King, he was ready to return to Xie's Mansion.At that time, the sky was dark and gloomy, as if it had already arrived in the evening. This year's Jingzhao was too cold, and some fine snowflakes had already fallen from the sky before it was mid-November.

Zhong Qiyun looked at the sky, he was planning to go to Xie's mansion, but after thinking about it, he asked someone to drive a carriage around the street.

By the time they returned to Xie's mansion, one car had turned into three, and the cars had long been filled with all kinds of warm things for various purposes, such as fox fur coats, or exquisitely decorated and small warm clothes. personal items, or silk quilts...

There are dozens of pieces in total, but each one is exquisite and not vulgar.

Although he knew that the Xie Mansion would not be short of such things, Xie Wenyuan usually didn't care about these food and clothing expenses, and he was not as delicate as those young masters from the other family. Although the Xie Mansion had these things, but he But not very useful.

Zhong Qiyun thought it would be better to prepare more for Xie Wenyuan, and then put them where Xie Wenyuan could take them easily.

After the servants moved the carts of things to the house, Zhong Qiyun thought about Xie Wenyuan's usual habits, and regulated the positions of these things one by one, such as the hand stove on the table in the study, and the bedside warm bag in the bedroom. , the blanket on the little step...

After finishing the work, Zhong Qiyun found Steward Cao again, and then handed a wooden box the size of a pillow to Steward Cao.

Butler Cao, who has been clear about the relationship between his lord and Boss Zhong, looked confused: "Boss Zhong, this is..."

As he said that, he opened the unlocked box, and with just a glance, he quickly pushed the box to Zhong Qiyun, and then took two steps back, "This, this can't be done, Boss Zhong, my lord, you too You know, adults never accept these things."

A box full of large-value banknotes, at least tens of thousands of taels, this is not compared to the expensive food and wine in the past, no matter how expensive they are, they are just small items, but these banknotes... He dare not Take it and give it to your parents.What does Zhong Qiyun mean by doing this?

Zhong Qiyun smiled and pushed the box into Steward Cao's arms, "Mr. Cao, you must also know how I treat you...If that's the case, mine belongs to Mr. Xie? I just leave it to Mr. He's just not who you think he is."

Butler Cao was taken aback when he heard that, but he still couldn't turn the corner. He still shook his head in distress and took two steps back: "It's still not OK..."

Zhong Qiyun sighed slightly when he saw it, and said: "Although I know that there is no shortage of anything in the house, Mr. Cao, you also know what kind of temperament Mr. Xie is. He is not demanding on food and clothing, and usually he will not let you He didn't have any requirements for things like cold and warm things. I knew in my heart that if I gave him the silver taels, he wouldn't care about them even if he took them. He just kept them somewhere. If things like bank notes were not used, It's just a pile of papers. I know you have been with the adults for many years, so I trust you and leave it to you to take care of it. I am afraid that this winter will be very cold. I will return to Hangzhou tomorrow. The younger generation can only entrust you Help him see what he lacks and buy him the best."

Xie Wenyuan happened to see this scene when he went back to the covered bridge. Zhong Qiyun didn't see him on the other side of the bridge. He didn't go any further, but stood there watching.

Zhong Qiyun saw Steward Cao's face loosen, and continued: "It's already the fourth day of November, and it will be Zhengyuan in [-] days. You should also find some servants. If there are not enough, you can go directly to Chengfeng Station to get them. I've already told you about Steward Wang." As he spoke, he handed the box to Steward Cao.

Butler Cao looked distressed, he looked up at Zhong Qiyun, and after thinking about it, he said: "Boss Zhong, I know that you are doing it for the good of your lord, but with so much silver... I am a servant, and I will take it privately." It is not in accordance with the rules of the family to buy so much silver, I still have to make it clear to the adults later, if the adults agree, I will take care of it, if the adults do not agree, then it is absolutely impossible."

"Don't worry, when your lord comes, I will tell him personally, and he will agree."

After the words fell, Xie Wenyuan's voice came from not far away, "Agree to what?"

Zhong Qiyun and Steward Cao heard the reputation and saw Xie Wenyuan walking over the bridge.

"Your Excellency is back!" Steward Cao smiled and was about to greet him, but before he moved, Zhong Qiyun in front of him strode over, only to see the boss of the Zhong family running up to his lord, with a hand Putting the adult's hand together in the palm of his hand, he said: "It's snowing in the sky, why don't you hold an umbrella?"

Steward Cao paused, then turned around and backed away with his head bowed.Xie Wenyuan's laughing voice came from behind: "Jingzhao is not like Jiangnan. The snow in Jiangnan melts on the shoulders, so you need to open an umbrella, but Jingzhao's can't."

The snow gradually fell heavily, and Xie Wenyuan brushed the snowflakes off his shoulders. Zhong Qiyun held his sweetheart's hand tightly and walked to the corridor where he could avoid the snow.

"Even if the snow doesn't melt,

Then... then you should wear a robe more or less..."

Xie Wenyuan didn't say anything, but Ren Zhongqiyun took his hand and walked to the corridor, and walked to the bedroom that had been warmed by the earth dragon.

There was no one to help, so Zhong Qiyun personally helped Xie Wenyuan change his official uniform. After Xie Wenyuan put on his regular uniform, Zhong Qiyun told Xie Wenyuan what he had just told Steward Cao.

Without waiting for Xie Wenyuan to say whether he wanted it or not, he took out a seal with Zhong Qiyun's name engraved on it from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xie Wenyuan.

Xie Wenyuan glanced at it, and knew that it was a private seal engraved by the Li family bank for a large merchant, and he could use the seal to withdraw the money that the merchant had deposited in the bank.

That is to say, as much as Zhong Qiyun has saved in the bank, he can use this seal to take as much. If Zhong Qiyun can save in the bank, the number may be astonishing...

Xie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, "The ten-thousand-tael silver note, I haven't even asked you whether you want it or not, so you just gave it to me?"

Zhong Qiyun laughed when he heard the words, wrapped Xie Wenyuan's right hand holding the seal with both hands, "You just accept it, I know you may not need it, but what if you really need it someday? This thing can't Give it to someone else, if there is an urgent need one day, I am not in Jingzhao City, and there is not much I can get from Wang Guanshi, and only this seal can move it. In fact, it is just the harvest of the Zhong family. Not much, as you know, those at sea that naturally cannot be deposited in the bank..."

Staring at Zhong Qiyun, Xie Wenyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.Didn't the Zhong family have much harvest?As far as he knows, the Zhong family has a tax tax of 10,000+ taels this year. If it is converted to 35/[-] of the current commercial tax... that would be a huge deal, and this number will only increase with the expansion of the Zhong family .

So where could it be the small sum in his mouth?

And... Seeing that the bottom of the seal is clean, it must have never been used. I am afraid that Zhong Qiyun has prepared it before, and this time he was planning to give it to him.

Even if he hasn't responded to Zhong Qiyun's feelings, even if he still ignores this relationship as before... Zhong Qiyun will treat him like this...

Seeing that Xie Wenyuan didn't speak, Zhong Qiyun was afraid that he would refuse, so he hurriedly said: "It's not a big thing, it's just a small jade seal. The Li family's bank is exquisitely made, so you can use it as an ornament? What if, someday? what do I have......"

"Don't talk nonsense." Before Zhong Qiyun finished speaking, Xie Wenyuan frowned and stopped him.

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan, grabbed Xie Wenyuan's hand, he leaned forward and kissed Xie Wenyuan's eyes, the warmth in his eyes

The softness became thicker, he said: "Well, I won't talk nonsense, then you can accept it..."

Xie Wenyuan sighed after all, and took the things away.

After dinner, Zhong Qiyun and Xie Wenyuan walked to a courtyard in the mansion, and asked someone to prepare a stove to warm the fire, and took a small stove on the table to warm a pot of wine, and clinked glasses with Xie Wenyuan in the snow falling outside Drink and talk together.

The wine was not finished, and the words were not finished.

On the way, when there was no one around, Zhong Qiyun and Xie Wenyuan went back to the bedroom.

I don't know who made the move first, the attack of lust made the two of them lose their sense of proportion, their clothes were scattered on the floor of the house, rolled on the bed, the bed was messed up and the quilt was neat...

Waiting for the unbearable deep panting in the room to subside, until the reason that was about to disappear due to the alcohol came back, and waiting for mutual excuses to let the unbearable heat dissipate, Zhong Qiyun bit Xie Wenyuan's earlobe, he Putting his arms around the person with whom he was on a blind date, although he still wanted to...but the two of them didn't continue anymore.Zhong Qiyun will leave tomorrow morning, and there are still many things to say...

After rinsing and changing into clean bedding and clothes, the two of them put their foreheads together and talked about their plans for the future.

"When I return to Hangzhou this time, I just want to do something in one go. I will definitely not be able to come back during the Zhengyuan Festival, and I need to go to sea once in person. I'm afraid it will be half a year..."

Of course Xie Wenyuan knew this, he said slowly: "Is there any difficulty?"

Zhong Qiyun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plan in mind. If this happens, the Zhong family will be different, but Tan Yuanyong from Jingzhao..."

"During the past few years, it has not been peaceful. There have been many wars, and several famines have left the court empty. He is still too busy with political affairs, and he has to be distracted from dealing with the orphan of the sixth prince. If he wants to come to my place, he will be busy, and he doesn't have to deal with it him."

Zhong Qiyun nodded, thinking about the affairs of the court, he would not have to worry about it.

"Oh, by the way, the people in my house are all carefully selected, and their mouths are very strict. I have told them that there are two masters in this house, and that place is clean. If you are bothered by political affairs, go there Rest there."

Xie Wenyuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Looking at Xie Wenyuan's smile by the weak candlelight, Zhong Qiyun felt very reluctant, and there was an unresolved astringency in his throat. He didn't know what to say, so he could only hug him tighter.

Seemingly aware of it, Xie Wenyuan's eyelashes trembled slightly and he didn't speak, just cuddled with Zhong Qiyun.

The next morning, Xie Wenyuan and Zhong Qiyun got up together, and after breakfast, Zhong Qiyun had to leave.

After sending Zhong Qiyun to the gate of the mansion, Xie Wenyuan still said: "Be careful in everything."

Zhong Qiyun paused, regardless of whether other people saw it or not, he leaned over and kissed Xie Wenyuan fiercely, and when he parted, he responded, "Okay."
