Chapter 172: Minor quarrels among elders
When Mengbao asked about the bank, He Yunxiao coughed twice, "This... I still can't give it to you... Daqi Bank is well managed by me, but it doesn't belong to me alone."
Speaking of this, Meng Qingqian naturally understood what He Yunxiao meant. The blush on her face faded a lot, and she said in a calm voice: "Let's eat first. I'll ask Jian Ling to bring the food in."
"Mengbao? Are you angry?" He Yunxiao hugged Mengbao's waist and refused to let her go.
Meng Qingqian glared at the man, not wanting to mention Du Yinyun's matter, "I'm hungry, why don't you let go?"
He Yunxiao couldn't put it down holding the "complete" Mengbao. Mengbao looks best when she wears the clothes she should wear.
"Let go." Meng Qingqian patted her big hand lightly.
He Yunxiao finally let go and let her go to the door.
Jian Ling carried two food boxes, which came and went quickly, as if he didn't want to stay for a second longer.
The two food boxes were opened one after another and contained six dishes and one soup, all of which were exquisite dishes produced by the palace chef.
"Let's eat." Meng Qingqian sat at the table.
He Yunxiao consumed much more energy than Mengbao. He sat next to Mengbao and ate happily without saying a word. It's like he hasn't eaten.
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao blankly, her eyes suddenly gentle, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Ah?" He Yunxiao was confused, but then he understood, "Oh no, it's not that difficult. It was a little more difficult at first, but then we started to rob the Yan Army's supply line, and there was a lot of food and drink. It’s more miserable for them if they don’t have enough to eat in the winter.” WeNXuEmi.Cc
"So, you're living a good life outside?"
Although He Yunxiao was preoccupied with eating, he did not lose his keen sense of smell.
Mengbao said this, clearly implying that he "feels comfortable leaving me, right?"
After swallowing the last mouthful of rice, He Yunxiao wiped his mouth, and then rubbed his head against Mengbao without saying a word. Both hands also held her arms and did not let go.
"The world is too big, and only Mengbao's embrace is the one I love most."
"It's time to eat."
"I don't care, I just love hugging."
"You..." Meng Qingqian put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, "Who has the final say now about your Daqi Bank? Is it you or Miss Du?"
"Miss Du." He Yunxiao replied immediately.
"Then you ask her to come see me in the afternoon and wait at Jinxianyuan."
"ah?"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels, but you are not allowed to go. Let her come alone."
"Mengbao"
"Ben, cough, can I still eat her?"
"Oh." He Yunxiao felt relieved.
Meng Qingqian stared at He Yunxiao and suddenly changed her words. "Unless she has a crush on you. Does she?"
"I have feelings for her, does it count?"
Meng Qingqian stared at He Yunxiao fiercely. She never expected that this piece of shit He Yunxiao would admit so straightforwardly when he went out.
In fact, He Yunxiao's change in attitude was mainly influenced by Sister Jiang's views.
The heroines will have to come into contact sooner or later. The more they hide it, the more likely it is to get into trouble. It is better to let the hard stone hit the soft cotton first and relieve some of the force first, so that the final collision will not be so lethal. Letting Sister Jiang get in touch with the weak treasure has the same meaning as letting Yin Yun get in touch with the Mengbao.
"Miss Du is a kind-hearted woman. I have always been lustful. Mengbao knows that."
Meng Qingqian still stared at He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao immediately went on to explain, "I just like her. I have never touched her innocence. Nor have I treated her like I did Mengbao. Mengbao is still my only Mengbao."
"Seriously?" Meng Qingqian was a little suspicious, mainly because she didn't believe He could hold it back.
"Of course." He Yunxiao clung to Mengbao, imitating Sister Jiang's method of fooling the weak treasure, and flirted with her, "If the mistress doesn't say anything, don't the two sisters have to be obedient and wait? "
Meng Qingqian raised the corners of her mouth, He Yunxiao's words really touched her heart.
With Nanzhu here, she had no intention of taking He Yunxiao as her own. However, not taking it as her own was on the one hand. In the He family's family status, whether she, the eldest princess Xiaoyue, could speak, and That's another story.
Now it seems that her family throne is quite good.
"I'm just asking her to talk about the bank. After all, Daqi Bank will issue gold and silver certificates for the imperial court in the future, so I always have to ask for some precautions." Meng Qingqian said.
"Oh, okay." Mengbao had good reasons, and He Yunxiao could only follow the trend.
Taking advantage of Mengbao's good mood, He Yunxiao brought up another matter while the iron was hot.
"By the way, Mengbao, do you know about Fan Ziruo?"
Meng Qingqian was more familiar with this "Miss Fan" than Du Yinyun. Back then, she had threatened Fan Yu with the "Queen".
Hearing He Yunxiao suddenly mention "Fan Ziruo", Meng Qingqian felt something bad.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, haven't we just come back from fighting in the past few days? My father and Uncle Fan are also very familiar with each other, and there may be some small cooperation."
"Hmm. What kind of small cooperation?"
engagement.
In the end, He Yunxiao gave up, "It's just a small fight between some elders."
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao, and she instinctively felt that the matter was not as simple as He Yunxiao said. However, based on the analysis of the letters Li Jin sent back every time, He Yunxiao and Fan Ziruo should not be unrelated like Li Jin's letter, but a bit ambiguous, but they should be far from threatening her throne.
Forget it, the girl from the Fan family doesn't seem to have the temperament to compete for favors, and most of them are pedantic, conservative, dull and boring. She only has a face that is lovable, so there is nothing to worry about.
…
In the afternoon, He Yunxiao went to Daqi Bank to pick up Sister Du to discuss business.
It’s still the familiar Marquis carriage, and it’s still the familiar face.
Boss Du was dressed in purple satin and elegant clothes, but he looked at He Yunxiao with tears in his eyes.
"Son..."
"Good sister, I'm here." He Yunxiao held Du Yinyun in his arms and touched her head frequently to express comfort.
Du Yinyun wiped her tears and said to He Yunxiao: "My sister already told Yin Yun last night, but I still can't help myself when I see the young master today. Young Master, isn't Yin Yun particularly useless?"
"Who said that? Is it your sister? I'll beat her later!"
"No, no, it's just Yin Yun's own random thoughts."
"It's okay for you to think wildly. Why is my Yunbao useless? Yunbao is reliable, beautiful and smart, and is proficient in music. He is no less good than anyone of his generation. Come and lie down. My Yunbao is useless? It must be let go today. You have a long memory." He Yunxiao patted his thigh.
Normally the heroine would be able to twitch a bit, but Sister Du couldn't do that at all. She listened to He Yunxiao very much. When He Yunxiao asked her to lie on his lap, she would lie down obediently.
He Yunxiao gathered his strength and slapped Du Yinyun's pert buttocks on his lap twice.
"Do you still dare to say that my Yunbao is useless?"
In fact, He Yunxiao's beating didn't hurt at all. Du Yinyun felt the numbness on her buttocks, and her pretty face turned red.
She was obviously a big girl, but she still couldn't escape the fate of being spanked by her own son.
"I don't dare anymore."
"Get up, I will beat you next time." He Yunxiao lectured.
"Yes." Du Yinyun sat next to He Yunxiao and said obediently: "Young master, you don't have to pity Yin Yun. If Yin Yun makes any mistakes, you can punish her."
He Yunxiao hugged her body again, "You talk nicely, but you keep beating me like this, am I willing to bear it?"
"Sir, it doesn't actually hurt."
"Snapped!"
He Yunxiao slapped him again.
"Of course I know it doesn't hurt. I was the one who did it. Don't I know the intensity?"
"Young Master is the best."
He Yunxiao squeezed the little hand of the beauty in his arms, and then said: "Yinyun, the person you want to see in a moment is named Li Qingmeng. She actually has another identity, that is, the eldest princess in the court, Meng Qingqian."
Du Yinyun was startled by the name. She looked at He Yunxiao with wide eyes, as if doubting her hearing.
