Chapter 84 Meeting
Yue Emei was wearing a satin jacket with rouge red dots of red gold thread, the skirt was exquisite and complicated, she was combed neatly in a lingyun bun, her lips painted with bright red lipstick were tightly pursed, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were slumped, and she exuded melancholy. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that she was in a bad mood.

This was the first time Xia Que encountered her like this after arriving in Shengjing.

Apparently, something happened.

Yue'emei walked over in despair, not even noticing anyone in front of her. She lowered her head slightly, passed by Xia Que, and walked toward the backyard door.

Xia Que was a little worried about her appearance and called her: "Emei, where are you going?"

Yue Emei, who was called out, came back to her senses and noticed Xia Que's existence. She said with a sneer, "I've been in Shengjing for so long, and I haven't had a good time shopping. I'm going to have a good shopping today."

His eyes dodged as he spoke, and in the end he simply didn't look in Xia Que's direction and looked in another direction.

There is obviously a ghost.

The spring sun is just right, the earth has returned to spring, the grass is sprouting green leaves, and the birds are chirping. In the backyard of Jinchunfang, peonies are also planted one by one in pots.

Xia Que was worried about Yue Emei, and the jade beads between the temples swayed, a smile appeared on her white face, and she said with ripples in her heart: "Coincidentally, I haven't gone out for a long time, and the spring is full of spring. Go out with you for a stroll."

Yue'emei's face froze and she couldn't laugh anymore, her eyes were full of complexity.

Under the curved corridor, the two stood opposite each other.

Xia Que walked up to her, took her hand, pulled her to the side and sat down, and said seriously: "Emei, what's the matter? We have been together for so long, there is nothing we can't say, besides, the authorities are obsessed , The bystander can see clearly, if you can’t see clearly, tell me and I will analyze it for you, maybe you can figure it out.”

Yue Emei frowned, and looked at the woman next to her.

After a long time, she sighed and said slowly.

It turned out that the person Yue Emei married was named Xu Jingshan, who was from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. His family had been doing business for generations, and even monopolized the tea merchants in the entire south of the Yangtze River. There was also an industry of the Xu family in Yuncheng. Xu Jingshan went from Yangzhou for business reasons. Yuncheng pioneered and took root.

The two met by chance in Yuncheng.

Xu's mother was not satisfied with Yue'emei's family background. She believed that it was not good to kill people in the Jianghu. In addition, she had not given birth to children for several years, so she repeatedly encouraged her son to divorce his wife and marry his cousin.

Xu Jingshan used to have two concubines, but Yue Emei kicked them out after entering.

The husband has no children, and the mother-in-law presses hard.

The main reason for the divorce was that the cousin came to seek refuge with her husband for several months, but he did not explicitly refuse to drive her away. This also made Yue'emei determined to reconcile.

Zhaoyang told her before that a man who is always in a hurry is not good.

She walked freely, but Xu Jingshan did not let go, and came to look for her from time to time.

"In order to get rid of his family, he decided to take an official career. He has already passed the scholar examination. He arrived in the capital a few days ago and is looking for someone to recommend him. He asked me to meet twice, but I didn't agree. I just thought about meeting today. Let him alone."

Xia Que understood what happened.

Upright officials can hardly break housework.

This kind of thing can only be cleared up by the person involved. She raised her eyes and glanced at her slightly haggard friend. Going out with this appearance always makes people a little worried.

Xia Que originally went to the woodshed to release the girl he bought, and then settled her down, then checked to see who was left in her family, and notified her family members to pick her up.If those gangsters noticed that Jinchunfang let someone go, they might attack the woman again and sell her to another place.

It's better to accompany Emei to meet the man first. She won't interfere in their affairs, and then deal with the woman when she comes back.

In Jinchunfang, those subordinates did not dare to insult women at will without her order.

Problem finally solved.

After Xia Que made the arrangement, she felt very relieved. She couldn't help showing a gratified smile on her face, and said, "I don't feel at ease with your appearance. So, how about I go with you? Whatever you talk about is your business, I No matter what, I will support you."

Yue Emei blinked her eyes, the bottom of her eyes lit up, her mood was no longer so depressed, her voice was a little lively, and she said: "That's very good, you can talk to me on the way, we will meet at Qingfeng Building, It's time to go now."

Qingfenglou is an inn with an elegant environment, and it has always only done business for dignitaries.

There was not much difference between the two of them. Xia Que talked more than her sister. They walked and talked while walking to Qingfeng Tower.

The distance is not far, but it will come soon.

As the name suggests, Xu Jingshan looks up from a high mountain and has the appearance of a scholar. He is like a scholar and does not know martial arts. On the contrary, Yue Emei likes to study poison and martial arts, but does not like reading.

He frowned slightly, and felt a chill in his heart when he saw Yue Emei walking towards him on lotus steps.

My palms were still a little sweaty.

It was obvious that she couldn't forget the beauty, so she yelled, "Emei."

The environment of Qingfeng Building is elegant, and the people who come here are all literati and scholars, and the voices are not too loud. The distance between tables is far, which is convenient for guests to drink tea and talk.

As soon as Yue Emei stepped onto the second floor, she saw Xu Jingshan wearing a brocade with a crescent moon wishful cloud pattern, half of his black hair tied up with a jade crown, and half hanging down.

After not seeing each other for several months, he is still the same as before.

She walked over with Xia Que with a cold face and did not give him a good look.

Sitting down, he went straight to the point and said, "What's the matter with you asking me to come here? If you have something to say, hurry up, I'm very busy."

After a pause, he continued: "Hey, where is your cousin? She was willing to let you come to the capital alone. When she was in Yuncheng, didn't she follow you to death? Haha."

There was resentment in her heart, and she spoke harshly.

Xu Jingshan was not annoyed, and explained: "I have no personal relationship with her, I only regard her as my younger sister. I came to Beijing this time to enter an official career. It is enough for my family to have a brother and a younger brother. I am in the capital. Parents can't control me, and my cousin won't come here."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Que, as if he cared about her existence.

It was inconvenient for him to discuss these matters with Emei when outsiders were around.

Yue'emei knew what he meant, so she deliberately took Xia Que's hand and continued coldly: "She is my best friend, there is nothing I cannot tolerate."

Then he continued what he just said:

"You said the same thing when we got married before. But as a result, your mother came to Yuncheng and brought your cousin with her. She stayed with her for a year and couldn't even drive her away. She asked you to divorce me every day. , you are only filial and don't care about my feelings."

At the end of the sentence, his voice was a little excited.

She cared about it, so she couldn't control herself.

In this quiet building, people at the next table can hear clearly.

The young couple had a conflict, but other people didn't pay attention and didn't look in their direction. If this situation were in an ordinary inn, it would probably attract a lot of attention.
