Yan Hui was also very straightforward, and agreed immediately, but when he mentioned the reward, he slightly squinted his eyes.

"As for the reward, I... always like to do things first and then get paid. Mr. Su will tell you the matter. When the matter is completed, I will come to ask Mr. Su for the reward."

When he spoke, his eyes rolled, and his gestures were full of charm. Su Mu was really overwhelmed, and finally almost ran out of this small courtyard in a hurry.

At noon the next day, just as Su Mu came back from outside, he saw Hong Xizhi standing at the door looking in.

"Miss Hong?"

Hearing Su Mu's voice, Hong Xizhi turned around, looking a little embarrassed, but still asked directly: "That young master Yan came to the house this morning and said that he was entrusted by someone to divorce me, and... andHe said that there is no need for me to prepare the dowry gift that needs to be returned for the divorce, I was thinking..."

"I thought, you should be the only one...so I went to the county government office to find Mr. Lu, and asked about the location of the inn, and then I found it." Her hands grabbed the skirts on both sides, as if she had made up her mindHe continued, "I, I want to retire the engagement, but the dowry has already been paid... The little girl is very grateful for Mr. Su's donation this time, but I will never accept so much money from you for no reason."

Just when Su Mu was about to speak to comfort her, Hong Xizhi went on to say: "Although I can't afford so much money now, my father once left a small shop, which has been abandoned for a long time because it has been neglected for a long time., I’m planning to clean it up and do some business there, and I’ve learned a lot by ear.”

She bowed, and her expression has become completely firm: "If it is possible, I am willing to pay back the money little by little in the future, and I will pay back all the interest you want."

After Hong Xizhi finished speaking in one breath, he seemed finally relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Su Mu.

Su Mu didn't want her to worry about the money at first, but he also knew that the third lady was quite resolute, and she should not want to accept unwarranted favors, so he stopped refusing and nodded with a smile.

"It's the best thing to be able to help the girl, then I'll wait for the day when the girl's shop is booming."

While the two were talking, Lu Lingjue and Liu Xiaoran happened to be back. The former was very happy after finally finishing the complicated affairs on his body, so he walked over a few steps and joined the topic.

"Miss Hong happened to be here. I just saw that you were in a hurry and didn't have time to ask, why are you looking for Yu Zhi?"

Su Mu saw that the sun was shining, and this matter was complicated to talk about, so he quickly blocked Lu Lingjue's mouth and said, "I'll talk to you later, don't delay Miss Hong from doing other things."

Hong Xizhi is indeed involved in many affairs now, and after receiving Su Mu's kindness, he gave a slight salute: "Thank you, Mr. Su."

After they took a few steps, the three of them entered the inn. As soon as they took a seat and sat down, Lu Lingjue collapsed on the seat and shouted to order food.

"Yu Zhi, you don't even know that I'm really exhausted these days. This matter is really not easy. Just sorting out the whole process and writing it into a document will kill me for most of my life. Sigh, it's really a matter of course.", I was bumped into this kind of thing when I was on a mission." He muttered, "Fortunately, it's finally over, and I can rest."

"Hey, you haven't said it yet, so why is Miss Hong looking for you?"

Su Mu briefly explained what happened, and Lu Lingjue understood.

"Yu Zhi, you are really careful. You have considered all these things. Miss Hong San is indeed a good girl. Now that Hong Nianan is locked up in the county office, Mrs. Ding is doing nothing all day long, and Hong Yichen is a very useless person.She manages the inside and outside by herself, so that the family members can barely eat. If she marries Li Zhishan, it will be a big loss."

Su Mu also nodded. This Miss Hong San was more tenacious than he imagined, and he had no doubt that she could manage the shop properly and earn himself a good future.

Liu Xiaoran listened silently at the side. Although she didn't say anything, she agreed with Lu Lingjue's words. Su Mu was more careful than he thought. Not only was she careful when dealing with corpses, she was also gentle and patient when dealing with people.

Such a person is really not like a scheming person.

This is already the first time he has thought this way.He always felt that even if a person could deceive others for a while, he couldn't hide himself flawlessly all the time, and it was even more impossible for him to be careful about everything.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in the cup, and the warm fragrance filled the air.

Maybe it's time to let your guard down.

Liu Xiaoran heard the inner voice say so.

"Liu Shaoqing? When are we going to Jiang Prefecture?" Su Mu asked. Now that the matter here is over, it's time for him to think about the troublesome little brother.

"Tomorrow." As soon as Liu Xiaoran finished speaking, Lu Lingjue wailed.

"My lord, we have just finished so many things, so we can't do more..." Before he finished speaking, he received Liu Xiaoran's eyes.

"Tired?" Liu Xiaoran asked lightly. Although her voice was still calm, even Su Mu could feel the murderous intent in her tone.

"No—it's nothing, what's more, what I mean is, uh, bring more food so you won't be hungry on the way!" Lu Lingjue quickly changed the subject, laughed a few times and then began to eat hard, making Su Mu quite dumbfounded.

He was leaving tomorrow, so he had to pay Yan Hui what he promised today. Thinking of this, Su Mu hurriedly finished his meal and went out.

As expected, Yan Hui has already done the work, and she is currently pruning the flowers and plants in the small yard leisurely.

"Mr. Su is leaving tomorrow? That's a pity. I thought I could have more conversations with Mr. Su." Yan Hui leaned against the door and said regretfully, "It's the reward.Not short of money..."

He squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then why don't Mr. Su do a favor today and accompany me to the Zhuying Building for a meal?"

Su Mu adhered to the thinking of modern people, so he naturally translated this sentence into "treat yourself to a meal". He has been to this Zhuyinglou once or twice. The dishes are very rich and delicious.It's a good place to treat guests, so I didn't refuse, and I quickly agreed.

"If that's the case, then we'll see you at sunset." Yan Hui sorted out her clothes lazily and casually, "I still need to take a nap, so I won't let you drink tea."

When Su Mu was far away, Yan Hui played with her hair at the door for a while, then stretched, then gently closed the door, and walked into the back room.

When the appointed time came, Su Mu thought that since he was just inviting someone to dinner, he didn't let Mo Shu follow him, but let him stay in the inn, and those who followed him around these days, don't bother.

After a few brief explanations, he went to the Zhuying Building alone, and when he saw Yan Hui at the door, Su Mu froze in place.

Yan Hui has already changed her clothes. The original peach-red gauze coat has become a dazzling red. Not only does the fabric look thinner, but most of her chest is exposed outside.The hair crown on the head is also golden and colorful, with red tassels on both sides.He even had a small red mole on the corner of his eye, which made his peach blossom eyes even more charming.

Su Mu almost didn't dare to go forward and recognize someone.

Passers-by are quite used to it, and Yan Hui can be regarded as a well-known person here. From time to time, someone greets him, and no one thinks his attire is inappropriate, so Su Mu can only calm down.He came forward and said hello.

"It's late, Mr. Yan, have you been waiting for a long time?" Su Mu was still wearing the moon white clothes in the daytime, and he was wearing an extremely low-key and simple white jade crown, but because of his outstanding eyebrows, he still turned many people's heads.Take a look.

"No." Yan Hui replied with a smile, "It always seems unreasonable to call me like this, Mr. Su may call me Yun Ze."

Su Mu was taken aback, but it was hard to refuse, so he could only shout along. Yan Hui was very helpful, but she didn't move, she blinked and looked at Su Mu and said, "Mr. Su, do you know how to reciprocate courtesy?"

Su Mu was puzzled for a moment before he realized it, and quickly reported his own: "Then Yan Gong——no, then Yunze can call me Yu Zhi."

After getting the answer she wanted, Yan Hui was finally satisfied, and walked into the bamboo studio.

Although Su Mu had eaten twice before, most of them were in the lobby below. Now that he was greeted by Xiaoer to the private room on the second floor as soon as he entered, he realized that Yan Hui had already reserved a seat earlier.I am ashamed.

After all, he was supposed to invite him to dinner, but it never occurred to him to book a private room.

Yan Hui didn't seem to care about this at all, and said with a smile: "Yu Zhi is from the capital, so he probably doesn't know the local delicious food, so I just picked a few, and you can try it when it's served later, orIf there is anything else you want to eat, just say it."

Su Mu only felt that this sounded a little strange, and after pondering for a while, he finally came to his senses. How could it feel like Yan Hui was inviting him to dinner?

"I'm really ashamed. I should have been the one to do these things, but I'm going to bother brother Yunze."

"It's all about being a landlord." Yan Hui said with a smile, "Yu Zhi doesn't have to take it to heart."

After speaking, he looked at Su Mu, but Su Mu rarely knew what to answer, so he cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Oh, I really want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Yuzhi, but I don't want Yu Zhi to always act like he rejects people thousands of miles away, which makes people very sad."

These words made Su Mu tremble all over.

Did the ancients make friends so quickly? Didn’t we just meet the second—oh no, the third?

He doubted himself repeatedly in his heart. He originally thought that he was quite familiar with himself, but he didn't expect that Yan Hui's skills were more profound, which made him feel like he was a match.

He could only maintain a calm face and deny: "Brother Yunze was joking, it's nothing." But in his heart, he really hoped that the shop here would serve all the dishes a little faster, so that he could quickly get out of the frozen awkward atmosphere.Li escaped.

Maybe God also heard his prayer, the waiter in the shop quickly reported the name of the dish and brought it up, and Su Mu was able to pass by laughing.

It's not that he refuses people thousands of miles away, it's that Mr. Yan is a little too enthusiastic, which makes him a little overwhelmed.

"This is the famous signature drunk crab in Zhuyinglou, Yu Zhi must try it." After the last dish was served, Yan Hui said, and pushed the plate of crab towards Su Mu.

"This……"

Su Mu didn't want to eat it.

Because he will pour out when he touches wine.

In the past, at the class reunion, others drank two large bottles of beer without changing their faces, but Su Mu was different. He could fall asleep on the spot even after drinking an alcoholic drink.

He fell asleep well. Once he ate a bayberry in Shi Qinglan's own red bayberry shochu, and almost jumped out of the window in the middle of the night, pretending that he wanted to fly higher.

He fought fiercely in his heart, what is the alcohol concentration of a drunk crab?If he just fell asleep, he would be alive and kicking again the next day when he woke up. If it was higher than a red bayberry, then if he jumped off the stairs today, would Yan Hui be able to hold her back?

Seeing him hesitate, Yan Hui showed a hurt expression again, making Su Mu's hair stand on end.

"I...can't drink, or..." Su Mu said cautiously, but he felt that the reason must sound a little nonsense, even if he really didn't talk nonsense, but seeing Yan Hui's expressionFinally, he picked up a chopstick without saying a word.

A sip should be fine.

He prayed inwardly.

The author has something to say:

Yan Hui will show up again!(make a fist)
