Seeing Chanjuan Lianbu walking towards her, we both faced her, not knowing how he was, but my smile was still a little stiff in a hurry.
I asked, "What's the matter about her?"
Liu Qinghan also smiled and said softly: "I have calculated that after your cousin obtained this family business, the increase in production over the past few decades has nearly half of the money, and it is not in the account."
“…”
Money again?
For some reason, I laughed immediately, and he frowned slightly: "Why are you laughing?"
I said, "You guys, the emperor is talking about my life in the capital - money, which is enough to make people feel troublesome. You are Fu Badai's student, so why do you say "money" at all? If the old man knows, he will definitely scold you - vulgar!"
He smiled faintly: "He scolded me more than that."
Seeing Chanjuan already walked onto the water corridor, I asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I want to change to a butler."
I turned to look at him.
He also glanced at me: "You want your own people."
“…”
At this time, Chanjuan had already walked in front of us and said with a smile: "Third Master, Miss Yan, haven't you bothered me?"
We all shook our heads: "No."
Perhaps our answers were too consistent, but they both felt that there was something wrong with us. Chanjuan was not a smart and exposed woman, so she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at us.
“We’re just talking about the weather.”
“We are looking at the scenery.”
...
After saying this, I felt my teeth sore. I turned to look at him, but I saw him and said without changing my face: "The weather is good today and the scenery is pretty good."
Chanjuan looked at me, then looked at him, and finally smiled and said, "Yes."
If this topic continues, he and I will probably really not be able to get around today. Liu Qinghan stepped forward: "What's the matter?"
Chanjuan then turned her face and said, "Third Master, Wen Ruyu paid thirty red tickets from the account yesterday, totaling thirty thousand taels."
"I know, I'm sure."
"This is the third time he has spent such a large amount of money in the past six months."
"Yeah, I know."
Chanjuan looked at him, but Liu Qinghan still let her look at him without changing her face. After a while of silence, Chanjuan nodded: "I understand."
Liu Qinghan nodded, and then said, "How should I arrange the people brought by Miss Yan? Let's discuss it."
After saying that, he took the sword hanging on the pillar and left on his own.
Chanjuan and I stood in the water pavilion, watching him slowly walk from the water corridor to the bluestone path, far away, she turned around and smiled softly at me, and I smiled too.
I said, "It seems that Miss Chanjuan has worked so hard."
She also smiled: "I'm used to doing it on weekdays."
"oh……"
"However, before that, I really didn't expect that Miss Yan would have such a deep friendship with the Third Master."
"Has no one told you?"
"I only know about the events of the Third Master before him in Yangzhou and in the capital, but there seems to be not many related to Miss Yan."
Her words made me stunned for a moment.
Thinking about it again, I laughed too.
Indeed, looking back, there seems to be not much related to me about Liu Qinghan's life, starting from the capital, to his southward journey to Yangzhou, going to sea, and then to Xichuan. If I really write a legend, I will probably be just a vague shadow in the eyes of a reader.
Chanjuan looked at me and said, "But after Miss Yan entered Sichuan, she was the first to arrive in Bishan. I realized that you two have a close relationship."
I smiled and said, "But it's not worthy of being told by outsiders."
Chanjuan was slightly stunned and looked at me.
I raised my head, watched Liu Qinghan's back disappear on the other side of the arch, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This is our relationship. It doesn't matter if anyone seems to be. Even if one of us dies one day, the other cannot shed a tear in front of others."
“…”
"Do you understand?"
I turned my head to look at her. She seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. When I looked at me again after a while, the fog clearly condensed into water and swayed slightly.
She said, "I understand."
I smiled.
The relationship between people is very delicate. Men need to communicate with each other, either brag about the same aura after drinking, or like the same aspirations; but women are much simpler, without lofty ambitions, without the ties of career, living in a small world, where communication is probably: men are bad, bad men...
There is also the love of seeking but not getting it.
I moved one step, turned to her, and said, "I didn't know before, it turns out that there is you next to Qinghan."
She said, "Because I don't matter."
"Isn't it really important?" I looked at her, then looked at the vast villa in front of me, and said, "You just said that those things are used to doing on weekdays. I think if he didn't have you by his side, he might not be able to walk around so freely."
Chanjuan did not answer this immediately, but the thick loneliness in her eyes spread again. Looking at the villa in front of her, she said softly: "I just said that those are used to doing them."
"Um?"
"Indeed, I'm really used to it, and sometimes I'm tired of it."
“…”
"But now, I don't think so."
"Why?"
She looked at me and said, "Do you know? When I knew he was going to go to sea, I thought it was just like usual, walking for a few months, a year or two, but I would still come back. Even if he didn't know how to use Yilan Villa, people would bring me some fresh little things to make me happy."
“…”
"But I didn't expect that he couldn't come back that time."
I thought about it and said, "No one brought back anything from him, either?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There is only one red jade ring, which was taken back by the Third Master."
"That--"
"But that won't be mine either."
"..." I felt countless sourness in my heart for a moment. A man whom a woman was thinking of was gone and never returned. In the vast sea, it was impossible to find him. The only token left behind could not belong to her anymore.
I was about to comfort her, but I heard her say, "But now I am the same, and in fact he still has a lot of things left."
I was stunned: "You mean-"
"These," she looked at Yilan Villa and then looked at me: "There are still many."
“…”
“His property.”
“…”
"I still do what I used to do every day, but I'm much more awake. Because I'm still doing it for him."
“…”
"I may not be able to achieve the dream he wants to achieve, but I will protect him what he leaves."
“…”
I looked at her firm gaze, and my clear eyes seemed to have taken everything into my own sight and into my own world. She was like a guardian, who wanted to protect everything within her eyes.
I finally understood what Liu Qinghan was worried about.

Chanjuan and I stayed in the water chestnut for a long time before leaving. It was time to return to the other yard, and it was almost time for lunch.
When I returned to the room, I saw Su Su inside, still packing our luggage and putting it in the cabinet. I asked, "Didn't you take care of Zhao Shuyuan?"
Su Su said, "Young Master Liu took the Empress Shuyuan away."
"Take it away?" I was stunned: "Where have you been?"
"I said I would take her to take a walk and see the scenery."
“…”
Su Su folded a piece of clothes, put them in the cabinet, then walked over and said, "When he came here just now, he almost scared Empress Shuyuan crazy-you know his face, but he was very patient and coaxed Zhao Shuyuan bit by bit. Later, Empress Shuyuan gradually became less afraid of him and became closer to him."
"Then he said, when will he bring her back?"
"I didn't say it, but I guess it might be time for dinner."
"oh."
Su Su guessed it was really good. After about a quarter of an hour, a servant came over to invite us to have dinner.
Su Su accompanied me through a long flower path and walked to the flower hall in the garden. The weather was right at this time, and the garden was full of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers was mixed with some of the fragrance of wine and vegetables, which felt a bit strange.
When he walked over, he saw a large round table in the flower hall, where there were already several cold dishes. Liu Qinghan was sitting there with Zhao Shuyuan. He picked up some shredded tofu and put it in the plate in front of Shuyuan, and said softly: "Let's eat some first, and the meal will be started later. Do you know?"
Zhao Shuyuan happily picked up the chopsticks and started eating, no matter what he said.
At this time, I saw Wen Hu and the leader of the Shadow Guard also came on the other side.
As soon as they saw me, they hurried up and said, "Miss Yan."
"You guys are here too?"
"Well, they said, 3--Young Master Liu is here to welcome us."
At this time, Liu Qinghan had already heard our voices. He got up and walked to the door of the flower hall, and smiled and said, "Get your seat."
We walked over and entered the ceremony. As soon as we sat down, Chanjuan brought a few servants to serve the dishes. Of course, it was not necessary to say that they were all delicious dishes with all colors, fragrance and flavor, with delicacies. He smiled and said, "It was too late yesterday, and I didn't have time to welcome you in a hurry."
I smiled and said, "You're so disgusting."
“There must be something.”
At this time, Chanjuan asked someone to open a jar of wine next to her and pour it into a green jade wine pot. Once the mud seal was opened, the clear fragrance of wine filled the entire flower hall. As soon as you smell it, you will know that it is a lot of time.
When Chanjuan put the wine pot on the table, Liu Qinghan nodded: "You go down."
Chanjuan said nothing, turned around and retreated.
