The people in Fanshan and Jiangcheng, amidst the turmoil of the current situation, finally cleared the clouds and saw the light of day after a period of uneasy and unbearable days. Their days were getting better day by day, and they returned to their former vitality.

Without the threat of Feng Wei and the plague, the people who had been living their lives with peace of mind were overjoyed again.

The streets are full of traffic and people are noisy.

Xia Qianqian leaned on the railing and sat in the private room on the second floor of Wangyue Building, looking at the people coming and going on the street, and began to lose consciousness.

Counting on his fingers, he should be in the capital.

Yesterday, according to the frequency of letters in the past, she should have received a letter from him.

But, no.

She is not a hypocritical person.

I think that I am not a love brain.

But for some reason, she felt disappointed after not receiving his letter.

As if...

It seemed like there was something bulging in my heart, swollen and stuffy. My whole heart felt uncomfortable, and even my tongue felt bitter.

Facing the delicious food on the table, she didn't have the slightest appetite.

At the table, Hu Tang looked at her lonely figure, suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "You have been distracted more and more recently."

"Oh?" Xia Qianqian didn't care, "I'm just too busy!"

"Are you free?"

Hu Tang curled his lips, put a piece of bacon into her plate, and joked: "You are not going to the side of Zhuxian Academy. It is also very easy for you to go to the Rouge Shop. I finally invited you to come.

As soon as we got together at Wangyue Tower, you were patronizing the crowd outside."

He said sourly: "My master is as beautiful as a tree in the wind, and his appearance is outstanding. Isn't it worth your distraction to look at me?"

"Cut!" Xia Qianqian was amused, turned around and sat down again, picked up the piece of bacon with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and kept saying: "What a rich meat flavor!"

Jiangcheng, which is like spring all year round, is not rich in bacon.

"It's definitely delicious." After being affirmed, Hu Tang gave her another piece, "This is sent over quickly from the border city."

"Jiangcheng?" Xia Qianqian paused in her chewing movements and asked in confusion: "Who sent it?"

"General He!"

"How could he?" How could he know that she likes to eat bacon.

"The old man who doesn't know the style doesn't know." Hu Tang muttered, "But it's nothing compared to an order from someone thousands of miles away."

It's a cuttlefish.

Xia Qianqian smiled, picked up the chopsticks in a hurry, and started to eat happily.

Hu Tang felt even more sad, "You have never cared so much about someone before."

He said quietly: "Now, I admit it."

"I am a big living person sitting across from you, but you are not interested. But the plate of bacon he gave me makes you so happy."

It’s really annoying to compare people to each other.

"Why am I so happy?" She refused to admit it.

"Look at the smile on your face. You're grinning from ear to ear, so be careful." He teased.

Xia Qianqian: "..."

She glared at him, unwilling to argue with him anymore, and buried her head in eating.

Hu Tang shook his head, took out an account book from his sleeves, and spread it out: "You eat, I read, and you just listen."

"This is the bill from Rouge Shop."

"Last month, according to the commission, you divided into five thousand taels in total."

"Last month, we spent a total of four thousand taels to deliver brocade and medical supplies to the people in Xicheng District. You are willing to bear all of it, but I cannot accept it."

"I voluntarily donated those brocades to build temporary shelters for the people. Everyone looked at my Hu family and sent them out."

"Our Hu family has won a reputation among the people by doing this. If I take your money privately, it doesn't matter."

"If you don't want to accept it, I will incorporate it into the shares of the rouge shop and the garment shop. After a month of operation, I have made a net profit of six thousand taels of silver."

"Six thousand taels?"

After investing 4,000 taels, I made a profit of 6,000 taels after one month.

The growth of this asset is simply huge profits!

"It's six thousand taels!"

Hu Tang said slowly: "The people are grateful for our Hu family's selfless dedication. People not only from Jiangcheng, but also from nearby towns and villages also come to our Xuanyage to customize clothes. The name of our Hu family has become famous instantly."

"This is a good thing!" Xia Qianqian nodded and glanced at Hu Tang secretly, "Business is so prosperous, why don't you look happy."

"Is it that obvious?" He put away the account book and sat down and looked at her.

"Natural!"

She also put down her bowls and chopsticks, raised her eyes and looked back at him, "I hope you make more money, but most importantly, I hope you are happy."

How can he be happy without her?

"Lanyu, I plan to leave Jiangcheng."

"Leave?" Xia Qianqian was even more puzzled, "Your home and your family property are all in Jiangcheng, where else do you want to go?"

"Walking around!" He always had a playful smile on his face, but he was not very formal.

Today, he has a handsome face, deep eyes, and a solemn expression, "I was born in Jiangcheng and grew up in Jiangcheng. I claim to be the second son of the Hu family from the four major families in Jiangcheng. I am handsome, knowledgeable, and of the same status.

Mainger, everything is top-notch."

"Lanyu, when I met Mr. Mo and the handsome young man outside Jiangcheng, I realized that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."

"Lanyu, after all, I am just a frog in the well."

He stood up, came to the window, and looked up at the skyline outside the street, "I want to see the outside world."

"Have you thought about it? In the beautiful world you expect, there are dangers and crises everywhere."

"Isn't that the beauty of it?"

He smiled with relief, "There are beauties and crises, and daily life is varied and interesting."

"Lanyu, I have lived in Jiangcheng smoothly for so many years. For the rest of my life, if I am still the second son of the Hu family and live like this, the life that I can see at a glance is not what I want."

He turned back and stared at her with his bright eyes, "You're leaving too, aren't you?"

Xia Qianqian: "..."

"You, a girl, have to travel far and see the outside world. How can I fall behind?"

"Lanyu, now that I'm gone, I don't know when we will see each other again." He suddenly felt sad, lowered his head slightly, and said with a downcast expression, "If you marry His Highness the Xian King, I'm afraid I won't be able to... go to the banquet.

”

A heart seems to have been thrown into coptis water, soaked thoroughly with bitterness from the inside to the outside.

With a forced smile, Hu Tang revealed an ugly smile, "I will calculate the share of the store in the future. It will be delivered to your house every month no matter where you are in the world."

"Yes, there will definitely be no shortage of money in the palace of His Highness the Xian King." He laughed at himself, "However, this money has nothing to do with His Highness the Xian King. It belongs to you. Yes... I earned it for you."

Even if the person in front of him cannot become his other half, even if he doesn't have many opportunities to be by her side in the future and laugh at life with her.

But he...

He still couldn't do it and cut off the only connection between the two.

Even if he is her partner and a long-term employee working for her, he is still willing.
