Quick thread: Xiao Qingmei became a millionaire after focusing on tea art

I thought Jinli would deny this question, but Li Hongxiang also asked it impulsively.She was eager to prove that Jinli had no good intentions towards the original owner in the past.

Unexpectedly, Jinli's voice was as gentle and soft as ever, but firm: "Of course my heart has moved."

Even Li Hongxiang was stunned on the spot.

Not to mention Xuanyuan Ziqing, who had been standing in the courtyard, shielding everyone, waiting nervously for Jinli's response.

As if a bunch of fireworks suddenly exploded, Xuanyuan Ziqing was shocked and surprised at the same time, and there was an urge in his heart to hug his sweetheart immediately.

Jinli's light words were enough to calm Xuanyuan Ziqing's worries about gains and losses along the way.

He didn't want to take the initiative to express his feelings to Jinli because he was afraid that Jinli wouldn't like him, so he was separated from him, and even the intimacy between brother and sister was lost.But he had to express his feelings. Chi Yan's appearance made him feel anxious. He was afraid that Jinli really liked Chi Yan.He couldn't let go anymore.

With so many years of emotional foundation and the pounding of his heart during this period, his feelings for Jinli flooded him like a flood. When he realized it, he was still willing to drown in all her beauty.

"I come from a humble background but have a particularly eye-catching face. This is certainly not a blessing. When I was ten years old, my family sold me to support my younger brother's education. I worked hard to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, just to If you want to become a courtesan who does not sell your body, you may be taken away by an innocent family before leaving the court."

Jinli's voice was light but also tinged with sadness. When she said this, she even laughed to herself.

"But I don't know what kind of innocent family can go into the land of fireworks. I can only choose a less desperate situation in a desperate situation. It's also my mother who treats me more and more day by day. When I was dissatisfied with the blame, I met my injured sworn brother."

"Although my adopted brother was just a stranger to me at the time, I didn't want him to wake up and find out that the person who rescued him was a brothel girl, so I left directly. My mother finally got tired of me, got me drunk, and wanted to forcefully give me to A wealthy businessman. At this time, it was my sworn brother who rescued me and brought me to the palace. For me at that time, my sworn brother was the only salvation that pulled me out of the abyss. What's more, my sworn brother treated me very well. How could I not be moved?"

"Later, Sister Chi entered the palace, and my adopted brother still treated me like a younger sister. I would also be discouraged, thinking that it would be better to give up. However, you have repeatedly shown that you hate your adopted brother, and instead are obsessed with the prince. Your adopted brother is right You are also very cold. Sister Chi is no threat to me at all, why should I target you? Just because of my position as princess? But I, Jinli, don't have such a narrow vision."

"Now, Sister Chi may have finally realized that the prince is not a lover. She turned around and saw the kindness of her adopted brother, but there is no need to vent her anger on me. Long before you lost your memory, I no longer had any love for my adopted brother. The world in the heart of my sworn brother is very broad and cannot tolerate the love between children. Fortunately, I have found someone to join hands with, and I will no longer be stubborn in the future. I hope Sister Chi will take care of her."

After Jinli finished speaking, he walked out of the room.Xuanyuan Ziqing was no longer in the yard. Jinli looked as usual, as if he didn't know Xuanyuan Ziqing had been there at all, and left Qingfeng Hall with Fu Rui, Furong and others.

Li Hongxiang is still messy in the wind.She couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Maybe what Jinli said was true.After all, how could an ordinary Green Tea White Lotus confess the past that bothered her most, or to her enemy?Only a crazy person would want to do this to himself, just to gain sympathy from the enemy.And Jinli didn't need her sympathy. She was faring much better than this time-travelling girl like herself.

-

Xuanyuan Ziqing didn't know how he returned to the study.

I felt as if my heart had been plunged into a freezing cold pool, and my mood fell to the bottom.At that moment he knew Jinli was coming out, so he could only leave in a hurry and pretend he had never been there.

How did that happen?He had never seen Ah Li when she liked him. Now that she didn't like him, she even secretly promised others, but he could no longer leave her.

Xuanyuan Ziqing felt that her lips were bitter and her heart was sour, so she had no choice but to pick up the tea on the desk and drink it all in one gulp.

The tea is cold.

Xuanyuan Ziqing was silent for a while, then suddenly picked up his pen and started writing He Li Shu.

The handwriting on the rice paper was swift and powerful, but with just a few strokes, Liao Liao explained the whole story clearly.

After signing the payment and just putting down the pen, I heard a knock on the door.

"Knock Knock~"

"Brother Ziqing, can I come in?"

Jinli's gentle voice came from outside the door.Xuanyuan Ziqing's heart trembled. The person he didn't want to see now was Jinli, but the person he wanted to see the most was also her.

Could it be that...Ali's words were just meant for Chi Hongxiang?

Before the ink on Heli's book dried, Xuanyuan Ziqing just folded it and placed it in an inconspicuous position.

When he opened the door, he saw Jinli standing outside the door obediently holding a bowl of soothing tea.

"Ali, come in quickly."

"Well." Jinli put the calming tea on the desk and said, "I heard that brother Ziqing came to see me just now? This calming tea was prepared in the kitchen early in the morning. I didn't expect that brother Ziqing came back today. morning."

Xuanyuan Ziqing closed the door of the study room, turned around and saw the quiet and gentle smile on Jinli's face, and a trace of nostalgic affection slowly emerged in her heart.

"Hey, what is this? He Lishu?! Brother Ziqing, you..."

Jinli just glanced at it accidentally and opened it out of curiosity, but she didn't expect it to be this.

Seeing that Jinli had seen it, Xuanyuan Ziqing didn't explain anything and just nodded.Then he sat at the desk and took the calming tea that Jinli had prepared for him.

The tea is delicious, a little bitter, but sweet afterward.The heat gradually covered the coldness just now.

"Ah Li, Major General Chi came to the house today to propose marriage."

Xuanyuan Ziqing finally spoke. He looked at Jinli, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.

Jinli was a little surprised, but didn't seem surprised.

Xuanyuan Ziqing said quietly: "Do you like him?"

Jinli said softly "Hmm".She really likes Chi Yan.

Xuanyuan Ziqing clenched his hands slightly. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't control the jealousy and unwillingness in his heart when he heard Jinli admit it personally.

He couldn't help but ask: "Then will you marry him?"

Jinli's eyes were confused and he replied, "I don't know either."

Like a lost deer, he knew he liked the little rabbit, but he never thought about whether he would always live with the little rabbit.

Xuanyuan Ziqing felt a little relieved after hearing this, and suddenly asked again: "If I don't marry the princess after I reconcile with Chi Hongxiang, will Ah Li still leave the palace?"

Jinli frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ziqing, what do you mean? It's your business to reconcile with Sister Chi or not marry again in the future. Whether Ah Li gets married, who she gets married to, and whether she leaves the palace are all my own. What is the causal relationship between these two things?"

"But what if I say, these are not two different things?"

Xuanyuan Ziqing stood up, looked down at Jinli with burning eyes and said.

"what?"

Jinli looked confused and murmured softly, obviously not understanding what Xuanyuan Ziqing was talking about.

"I said, Ah Li, this is not the same thing. I love you, and I don't want you to marry anywhere else. I didn't know before that I would only give you the position of princess in the future. If you are willing to stay, Come down?"

Xuanyuan Ziqing said every word with utmost seriousness.

In fact, he is just a young man in his twenties. He will be shy and nervous when facing the girl he likes, and he will also be afraid of her rejection.

Xuanyuan Ziqing's eyes were hot and sincere, but he made no unnecessary movements. He just looked at Jinli, quietly waiting for his sweetheart to judge him.

It's just that Jinli is destined to disappoint him.

"Brother Ziqing... this is too sudden."

There was disbelief in her eyes, and she even took a step back in surprise.

"I only treat you as a biological brother. If something happened to brother Ziqing today, let's all calm down."

After saying this, Jinli hurriedly wanted to leave, but Xuanyuan Ziqing held her sleeve.

"Ah Li, you liked me before, didn't you? Relationships can be cultivated..." He can definitely make Ah Li fall in love with him again. Chi Yan is not Ah Li's best choice.

Xuanyuan Ziqing's voice was low and hoarse, with a subtle hint of retention and prayer.

"Brother Ziqing, being with you is too complicated for me. Ah Li only wants simple happiness, I hope you can understand."

Jinli took a deep look at Xuanyuan Ziqing, pulled his hand away, and then left the study.

Simple and smooth, you can get the happiness that every couple deserves.Instead of being isolated and helpless, surrounded by suspicion and endless discussion.

Chi Yan can give her whatever she wants. She just needs to stand there and wait for Chi Yan to prove that he is worthy of her lifelong trust.

But being with Xuanyuan Ziqing meant that she had to face the gossip of the world.Unless she is willing to stay in Prince Chen's palace forever and be a woman who is immersed in love and ignores the world.

Jinli in the past might have been willing, but Jinli now wouldn't make such a big sacrifice.

As smart and wise as Xuanyuan Ziqing, how could he not know what Jinli was talking about.But what he said now was useless. Jinli was waiting for Chi Yan to reassure her that he could also prove with his actions that he was enough to shield her from the world's rumors.

……

Of course Jinli had no way of knowing what Xuanyuan Ziqing was thinking.Since that day, her life has become much more lively than before. Xuanyuan Ziqing was busy with political affairs and did not come to see her, and Jinli was happy and peaceful.

The reconciliation between Chi Hongxiang and Xuanyuan Ziqing did not have any major twists and turns.Li Hongxiang still has a modern sense of superiority and pride, so it is naturally impossible for her to disagree with the divorce.However, in order to save her respect, she comforted herself that it was just Xuanyuan Ziqing who was blind, and she had not yet shown her true talent.

As for Jinli, although Li Hongxiang believed her words that day.But now the owner of this body is herself, and Jinli is only close to the original owner.Jinli was right in saying that the original owner posed no threat to her.But what if this person becomes her from modern times?

Jinli's previous actions were inevitably not done on purpose because he was aware of his changes and threats.And why did Xuanyuan Ziqing suddenly want to reconcile with her?Li Hong wondered whether it had anything to do with Jinli.Jinli was too perceptive, and it was impossible for Li Hongxiang to be friends with her.

They are inherently hostile.She would only be temporarily soft-hearted towards her enemies. Leaving the palace this time was a bad move for her, but it was also a new life.

The battle between her and Jinli was still to come.

-

Recently, two things have been discussed in the capital.

First, it started from a private market. Suddenly, a restaurant named Tianshangrenjian opened on Shangyang Street.

The strange and spacious decoration style and the unheard-of dishes and drinks keep diners coming, especially the unique and lively publicity that makes almost everyone aware of its existence.There are even some children who enjoy singing the restaurant's slogans like songs.

Another thing is in the court.

Recently, the newly appointed governor of Fuzhou reported that the dam built three years ago on the Fuhe River has many problems with jerry-rigged materials and is fragile and cannot withstand any slightly larger torrents.The governor of Fuzhou suspected that the officials responsible for building the dam had serious bribery and corruption problems.

His Majesty was furious, and his anger was directed at the prince and others who were personally responsible for supervising the construction of Fuzhou's water transportation.On the other hand, His Majesty sent Chi Yan to re-monitor and organize the reconstruction and repair of Fuzhou dams.Chi Yan was therefore transferred out of Beijing.

Jinli drank tea slowly while listening to Fu Rong's report.

Fu Rong stood aside, actually always wondering why Fu Rong could find out all the information about Miss Chi in every detail.However, she was not responsible for this aspect, and she did not dare to ask rashly.

Chi Yan will leave the capital tomorrow.

"Miss, the Prime Minister has come to our house. The prince is not here. He said he came to see you."

Someone hurried over to report.

Jinli stood up and said nonchalantly, "Tell him that I have something to do today and can't see him."

"what?"

The servant was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect Jinli to refuse to see the prime minister.

"Ah, what? Go and reply quickly!" Furong said.

The servant nodded quickly and went to the living room to answer.

There is indeed something wrong with Jinli.I didn't expect Chi Yan to be sent out to the capital, but it didn't matter, it was just a plan in advance.

"Fu Rong, you don't have to go out with me today. Send someone to tell Qing'er that we can start."

Jinli ordered as he walked out of the mansion.

Fleur nodded in agreement.

Fu Rui on the other side was enlightened and a little unbelievable.No wonder my young lady knows so much information about Chi Hongxiang.It turned out that Qing'er was already the young lady's, and Fu Rui's admiration for Jinli rose to a new level.

On the other side, in the living room of the palace.

Jiang Yuwei is still wearing green clothes, and if you look closely, you can see that it seems to be the same one that he wore in the Green Lake Pavilion that day.

Hearing the servant's apologetic reply, Jiang Yuwei's usually indifferent eyes seemed to flash with a little loss, and dimmed for a moment.However, he quickly recovered his calm and gentle demeanor and stood up to leave.

"It's an unlucky time for Jiang to come here. Please tell Miss Jin that Jiang will come to visit again the next day and disturb her."

The servant naturally agreed and sent Jiang Yuwei out of the house cautiously.

After entering the carriage, Jiang Yuwei opened the hand-painted portrait of Jinli again, her eyes gentle and affectionate, with a little sadness.

He came here not only to return the Eight Immortals pictures and poems to her, but also wanted to give them to her along with this portrait he drew privately.

First, he drew her privately. If she knew about it in the future, she would inevitably blame him.Secondly, he wanted to express his feelings to her.

only now...

In fact, it is not difficult to guess why Jinli was unable to see guests today.Major General Chi was leaving Beijing, and she might want to see him off.

Why didn't I meet her earlier?Jiang Yuwei felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
