The most unlucky crossing in history

Zhong Qiyun didn't know why the Zhou family came, but Zhong Qiyun really had to guard against the Zhang family's visit at this time.

Xie Wenyuan told him that the Zhang family had secretly supported the orphan of the former six princes, and told him not to get too close to the Zhang family, the meaning of which was self-evident.

If one day the Zhang family supports the orphan of the sixth prince and intends to kill the king, then those close to the Zhang family will inevitably be implicated, and now Zhang Sixue is visiting in person to celebrate his birthday alone, no matter what Zhang Sixue's final intention is, but Generally, if it falls into the eyes of others, I'm afraid that his Zhong family will also be involved.

Zhong Qiyun thought so, he wrote nearly a hundred invitations that night, and asked Hangzhou Chengfeng Yima to distribute invitations to business colleagues from all walks of life in the middle of the country.He stated that he was going to hold a big banquet on Zhong Qiyun's birthday on the second day of July, and invited them to come and have a drink together, so as to thank all the partners who have made friends with the Zhong family.

At the same time, Zhong Qiyun, the governor of several major prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, was also invited.

In this way, the Zhang family's visit was explained by Zhong Qiyun's invitation. Zhong Qiyun told the world clearly that he put the Zhang family and other merchants in the same position, and they were all business partners of the Zhong family.

Afterwards, he asked Butler Zhao to personally arrange a birthday banquet for him, and his request was only in eight words, "do a lot of work, and help the common people."

So, the day before his birthday, the Zhong family opened their own granary to distribute porridge and food to the poor people in the city. On the day of his birthday, the city of Hangzhou was very lively, and the Zhong family's new house was full of guests, which was very lively.

Although the Zhong family's new house is not as numerous and spacious as the Hu family's, the courtyard in the house is more exquisite and detailed than the Hu family's. It can be said that wherever you look, there are scenery everywhere, and the mountains, rivers, flowers and birds are absolutely beautiful. beautiful.

Even the venue where the banquet is held is full of beautiful landscapes.

Zhong Qiyun was wearing a gold silk jacquard moonlight satin robe, a black jade hair crown on his head, and a green jade pendant hanging on his waist. Looking at the neat clothes, the jade tree facing the wind, and the unparalleled demeanor, although the clothes are simple and elegant, the details The appearance is really unobtrusive and luxurious.

However, at noon, there were nearly hundreds of guests in the court, far exceeding expectations. After Zhao Steward saw this and reported to him, he immediately added [-] seats, and at the end, nearly [-] seats were held.

Zhong Qiyun did not expect that there would be so many people coming today. He originally thought that he sent the invitation so hastily.

However, in just seven or eight days, merchants from far away should be unable to come, but who knows, some merchants from thousands of miles away have rushed here.

Just like the Lu Huang family in front of me.

Zhong Qiyun couldn't even imagine flying from Quanzhou in a few days, what kind of travel and dust it would be...

But thinking about it, Zhong Qiyun is now acquainted with great merchants who have been in the court to listen to the emperor's personal rewards. For the merchants, his status is not the same. Today, all the people who come are famous, and Lu Huang He can only be regarded as a rich businessman if he is full of money. How could he miss such an opportunity to get acquainted with a big businessman in China?

But even so, Zhong Qiyun greeted him with a smile all over his face. He looked at Lu Huang who brought his family with him in surprise, and greeted him: "Oh, I have troubled Brother Lu and his sister-in-law, nephew and niece to travel thousands of miles from Quanzhou for this birthday. Come here, I really feel ashamed!"

Lu Huang took Zhong Qiyun's hand, and said with deep brotherly affection: "Hey, where is it, brother Zhong's birthday is brother, how can he not come?" Speaking of this, he winked at Zhong Qiyun and said: "Less than last year Didn’t you also say that, let the two boys in my family learn the way of doing business with Brother Zhong, and this time I will also send you my worthless ones!”

"Brother Lu has a heart!"

Just then Zhong Qiyun sighed, and Steward Zhao personally led Hangzhou Governor Que Jiangcai over. When Zhong Qiyun saw him, he bowed his hand to Que Jiangcai, and then said to Lu Huang: "Brother Lu, sister-in-law, You guys go to rest with the servants first, I am too busy here, so I go to meet the guests next to me, Brother Lu, don't take offense."

"What are you talking about? If we two brothers talk about these things, we will be separated. Brother Zhong just go about his business and don't worry about me."

Zhong Qiyun smiled at them and cupped his hands again, and asked his servants to lead them to find a place to rest, and then walked directly to Que Jiangcai's place.

Afterwards, Zhong Qiyun didn't sit down and rest for almost a day, until the banquet started, he said some high-sounding words of gratitude, and made a toast to his friends, before he was able to sit down and have a bite of hot food.

At night, the Zhong family's mansion was brightly lit and very lively. It was Zhong Qiyun's birthday today, and naturally many people toasted him. Fortunately, he had a good capacity for alcohol, and he was fine after a small round.

Later, Liu Wangcai, Yang Xiangdong, Jiang Sicheng and others came over and sat at the table next to Zhong Qiyun after finishing their affairs. The Zhong family brothers were all upright, seeing the guests coming for another round Toast, they are also quite spontaneous

Along the way, he shared a lot for Zhong Qiyun.

When the wine was almost finished, the guests also got to know each other and chatted, and after Zhong Qiyun's place was no longer so lively, the Zhong family dragged their owner to sit at their table, toasting Zhong Qiyun one by one, and tossing Get up Zhong Qiyun.

After a round of ten glasses of wine, after Zhong Qiyun finished drinking Yang Xiangdong's respect, Liu Wang took a look at the fifty tables of banquet guests, and finally couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm afraid this is the first time Brother Zhong has entered such a house." How old is she, a shy and wealthy young lady?"

When Liu Wangcai said this, other people who also noticed this matter started to make a fuss.Even Jiang Sicheng, who doesn't like to joke, also smiled.

He Minqing, who was on the side, looked at Zhong Qiyun, and said, "That's inevitable. Mr. Zhong's family is young, promising and rich, and he was born handsome and suave. His future is even more limitless. Naturally, most of them want to marry their daughter to become the clock's mansion." The woman in charge of the family."

The taciturn Jiang Sicheng took a sip of fine wine, nodded and said, "As far as I know, almost all the matchmakers in Hangzhou City have stepped through the gate of Zhong's house."

"Tsk tut tut. Terrific."

Yang Xiangdong quietly looked at the tables with female guests, she blinked, and said with a smile: "Master, I just counted, there are at least forty young and beautiful young ladies over there..."

Zhong Qiyun squinted at Yang Xiangdong, "It's better to follow Liu Wang and not to learn, but to learn more and more unruly." But that being said, Zhong Qiyun couldn't see anger in his eyes. It should be said that Yang Xiangdong, as the consul general of the fleet, if In the future, if he wants to command the sea fleet on his behalf, it would be good to be so lively and talkative.

Yang Xiangdong smiled and said indifferently: "But speaking of it, the master is so old, so you are not in a hurry? How long will you have to wait before you want to get married? In my opinion, today is actually a good opportunity. You don't want to If you don't like it, why don't you take advantage of this time to get acquainted with these noble girls, what if you meet someone you really like?"

Liu Wangcai nodded when he heard it, "Yes, yes, it's a great opportunity! I looked at those rich ladies, and some of them looked good." Liu Wangcai then asked Yang Xiangdong: "By the way, Xiangdong Miss Dong, I also ask you something."

"Brother Liu, tell me."

"According to your women's point of view, which of these rich ladies do you think is the best? Say it to our Brother Zhong's staff?"

Yang Xiangdong

Hearing this, he thought about it seriously for a while, then looked back quietly for a long time, and then said: "I have never been in contact with these rich ladies at the moment, so I really don't know which one is better, but in terms of appearance and behavior, I like it very much." The eldest daughter of the Hu family, Hu Ningyun."

After hearing this, Liu Wang raised his head and glanced there: "Which one is Miss Hu's family? Is she here today?"

He Minqing shook his head and said, "No."

Liu Wangcai was even more confused, and he asked Yang Xiangdong again: "Then why do you say that?"

Yang Xiangdong smiled and said, "I met Master once when we went to Hu's house to discuss business. She is really a talented, generous, delicate but tough woman! If Master can make it with her, then..."

"Okay, okay," Zhong Qiyun heard these people getting further and further away, and hurriedly interrupted, "I won't bother everyone to worry about my marriage, let me tell you like this, I already have a beloved in my heart." Other than him..." At this point, Zhong Qiyun's eyes softened a lot, "I won't marry anyone else... You don't want to come here to talk about marriage, It doesn't matter if we joke about these things, don't talk about them outside, don't ruin the girl's reputation."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Qiyun picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine.He Minqing on the side looked at him with a half-smile, and was about to speak, but Liu Wangcai suddenly frowned and asked, "Is it really that Chu Changyi?"

When Zhong Qiyun heard this, he almost choked on the wine, and when he calmed down, he squinted at Liu Wangcai, and said emphatically, "No!"

It is rare for the Zhong family to hold a banquet. Although the people present have their own thoughts, the atmosphere is good anyway. The age of the two tables of the Zhong family is not too old. Recently, the Zhong family has been doing good things again and again, and everyone is very happy. Gathering in one place like this, eating, drinking and laughing is fun.

In this atmosphere, Zhong Qiyun couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of mixed drinks. I don't know when it was, some guests left and left. When Zhong Qiyun was a little drunk and joking with Liu Wangcai and others, He Minqing suddenly called him , motioning him to look back.

Zhong Qiyun didn't know what was going on, so he turned his head to look at him, and he just stayed there without moving.

Steward Zhao brought a man in simple uniform, a man he had missed for several months and who was [-] miles away.

Xie Wenyuan stood behind Zhong Qiyun, looking at Zhong Qiyun's stupid look, he felt like laughing.Just considering the many people coming and going, he drooped his eyes to hide the affection that couldn't be concealed,

Slowly said: "Boss Zhong, please stay safe."

Zhong Qiyun's eyes widened in disbelief after being familiar with the voice that frequently appeared in his dreams in his bones, staring at the person in front of him, and spit out two words like a fool: "I'm sick..."

Xie Wenyuan looked at him.

Looking at each other, Zhong Qiyun continued, "I'm about to die."

Xie Wenyuan looked at him, frowned and said: "On your birthday, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing these words, Zhong Qiyun suddenly got up and wanted to rush over to hug him, but Jiang Sicheng on the side raised his hand to block him without a trace, and then he came back to his senses, and suddenly remembered that he was at a banquet, Don't mess around.

Zhong Qiyun closed his eyes, and said to He Minqing and the others beside him, "I drank a little too much, and I feel a little unwell, so I will step back first, and I will trouble you to take care of me."

Before He Minqing and others responded, Zhong Qiyun strode up to Xie Wenyuan's voice, and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

Xie Wenyuan glanced at Zhong Qiyun, then shook his eyes to Liu Wangcai and others who were a little unclear and therefore also dumbfounded. After slightly nodding to say hello, he turned around and left with Zhong Qiyun.

Not far away, I saw Zhong Qiyun leave the table for some reason, but didn't notice Mrs. Lu Huang next to her. She hurriedly whispered something in Lu Xuexian's ear, then smiled and pushed her daughter, telling her to seize the opportunity to follow.

Lu Xuexian's face was flushed, but she still stood up under the pretext of taking advantage of the cool breeze, and then quietly followed.

I didn't notice anything else, since Xie Wenyuan appeared, Zhong Qiyun, who put all his heart on Xie Wenyuan, led Xie Wenyuan around the crowded courtyard, walked quickly through a corridor, and waited until he came to the dark place where there was no one. In the corner, he suddenly turned around and hugged Xie Wenyuan, and then pushed him against the wall, trapping him between himself and the wall.

What followed was a wild kiss.

"Wenyuan..." stroking Xie Wenyuan's cheek, between breaths, he bit Xie Wenyuan's lip, breathing heavily, calling Xie Wenyuan's name over and over again with a trembling voice, "I Isn't this a dream? Ask Yuan...I miss you...I'm going crazy..."

Arming Zhong Qiyun's neck, bearing Zhong Qiyun's uncontrollable kiss, Xie Wenyuan caught a glimpse of the woman who was running away in fright from the corner of his eyes, but he did not let go of Zhong Qiyun, but eagerly responded to the entangled kiss.

It's not just Zhong Qiyun who misses him.He had never done such a thing, since he knew that Zhong Qiyun had returned to Hangzhou, this suppressed longing grew wildly.He has never traveled so far

In order to meet this person, I never thought that the unspeakable vacancy in my heart since Zhong Qiyun left would heal without medicine when I saw this person...

When he heard Zhong Qiyun calling his name again, he felt so satisfied in his heart.

Heartbeat was beating uncontrollably and out of order, Xie Wenyuan touched Zhong Qiyun's neck with his fingertips, and when he noticed Zhong Qiyun's slight trembling, he backed away slightly during the fierce kiss, and when Zhong Qiyun wanted to come closer to continue, He kissed Zhong Qiyun's cheek. After the kiss, Zhong Qiyun stared at him blankly as if he had been cursed.

Xie Wenyuan smiled, and then he narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at Zhong Qiyun under the dim light. He hadn't seen Zhong Qiyun for more than half a year. The person he was thinking of had changed compared to when he left, he was leaner and more tanned. It's a little darker, but what has never changed is the eyes that look at me...

Full of love, full of love, let him indulge.

His eyes trembled slightly, just like what Zhong Qiyun did in the past, he kissed Zhong Qiyun's nose, forehead, and cheek...

Before his lips stick together again, he looked deeply at Zhong Qiyun, and responded in a low voice: "Lovesickness, my heart is the same."
