When the autumn wind wakes up the lone geese in Saibei, it is a good time to raise horses and train soldiers.

Mei Shao and Bai Bingchen came at an unlucky time, Zhenbeihou and his wife were training at Yanshou Pass, not in the Houfu.

Little Hou Ye Meng Ye has been able to go to the battlefield and the kitchen. These days, he has already cooked all his special dishes, and he is very attentive, just looking forward to Mei Shao saying hello.

This day, Meng Ye got up early and finished practicing in the courtyard. Before he was sweating, he went to pick a small basket of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers and prepared to make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for breakfast.

Helian Gouyue didn't return home for several days, it seems that he was really angry because of what Mei Shao said at the beginning, which made Meng Ye always feel that there was one person missing at the dinner table, a bit empty.

Fortunately, this morning, the servants came to report that Helian Gouyue came back last night and happened to have newly opened osmanthus seeds, so Meng Ye was going to make some osmanthus cakes to coax him.

He remembered that when he picked up Helian Gouyue, he was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. The blood on his body was deep and shallow, mixed with grass clippings. The person is still alive.

Meng Ye brought him back to the Hou Mansion and took good care of him.Later, it was learned that Helian Gouyue was a spice merchant who went back and forth between Liang and Li. Because of a family property dispute, he was hired by his brother to rob goods halfway, and was seriously injured.

Meng Ye couldn't bear the misery of the beauty's life experience and this situation, so he half-coaxed her to open a spice shop in Yanzhou and kept her there.

Meng Ye has a big heart, doesn't hold grudges, and can always coax people to his heart, and Helian Gouyue is a master who ignores everything, so the two of them have not really become popular in the past two years. Over the face, quarreled.

"Young Lord, the hunting ground has greeted you and said that the ground is vacant for you today. I asked you when to go so that we can prepare in advance."

It was autumn, Meng Ye was afraid of neglecting the distant guests, thinking that it would not be a problem for them to be bored in the mansion all day long, so he proposed to go hunting in the hunting ground.It was just a casual suggestion, but Mei Shao was very interested, so she agreed on the spot, and Meng Ye ordered someone to notify the hunting ground, planning to go today.

"Has Shao woke up?" Looking at the sky, Meng Ye picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus in the basket, and with a smile on his face, he walked to the kitchen and asked the servant, "Does the place in the south of the Yangtze River want sweet and sour taste?" Some, add more sugar to Ah Shao's. Gouyue likes the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus itself, so put more flowers on his, what about that lord, what flavor does he like?"

"Master Bai is also from the Northland, so his taste should not be much different from ours."

"Then I'll make some according to my taste. You go and have a look. If they wake up, they can go to the gazebo for tea. It's sunny there. After we finish eating, we'll go to the hunting ground." Meng Ye cleaned his hands, He started to knead the dough, and suddenly remembered something, and shouted to the servant who was about to run out: "Do you still have riding clothes in the house? Choose two sets and send them over, and give Ah Shao the jade brocade that I got last year." Riding outfit."

The servants responded.

After half an hour, Meng Ye went to the gazebo with the freshly baked osmanthus cake. Mei Shao and Bai Bingchen were sitting there, but Helian Gouyue was nowhere to be seen.

"Why, haven't you gotten up yet?" Meng Ye sat down and muttered, put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, and smiled at Mei Shao, "Ah Shao, try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made. You should like it."

As he said that, he pushed the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with extra sugar in front of Mei Shao.

"My lord, you can eat too." Meng Ye also persuaded Bai Bingchen by the way.

Bai Bingchen thanked him with a smile, but he didn't touch the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he just sipped the rice porridge in his hand.

It was cooked by Meng Ye early in the morning, and it was perfectly warm at this time, but Bai Bingchen was full after eating half a bowl, and put down his chopsticks.

Mei Shao glanced at Bai Bingchen's bowl from the corner of the eye, looked away, sighed inaudibly, picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, took a bite, and asked Meng Ye, "You said that Helian Gouyue was rescued by you on the road?" Yes, is it true that you will save anyone lying on the road?"

"no."

Mei Shao caught a glimpse of the person coming from behind Meng Ye and continued to ask, "Then why did you save him?"

Helian Gouyue paused slightly, with a look of wariness in his eyes, he looked at Mei Shao, but Mei Shao didn't even give him a look.

"Because he's good-looking!" Meng Ye squinted his eyes, imagining Helian Gouyue's appearance, his eyes and teeth brightened.

Both Mei Shao and Bai Bingchen were taken aback, they didn't expect his reason to be so straightforward.

After reacting, Mei Shao laughed and said: "Who taught you to judge people by appearance? Who said that good-looking people are good people?"

"Except for Ah Shao, he is the best-looking person I have ever seen. Ah Shao is a good person, so he is naturally."

After hearing this, Helian Gouyue's expression didn't change, she walked over and sat down at the table.

"Gouyue, you're here." Meng Ye didn't realize that his words were being overheard, he licked the pastry crumbs on his fingers, then got up to serve Helian Gouyue some porridge.

Seeing his small movements, Helian Gouyue's eyes dimmed, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Meng Ye got up and handed it over, just in time to see the bruises under his eyes, he stretched out his hand and poked it lightly, his blue eyes raised slightly, and a tired look appeared in his eyes.

"I thought... it was dirty." Meng Ye withdrew his hand resentfully, and asked curiously, "How many nights have you been up? Is the spice business very busy? But there is no time to go to the market recently. "

Helian Gouyue's daily life is fixed on a regular basis, without any delay, just like his people, it is precise and accurate, when and what to do, strictly and accurately.

Therefore, even when the business was the best in the past, Helian Gouyue still closed the door when he was resting. Meng Ye had never seen such a tired look on his face.

"It's nothing." Helian Gouyue lowered her eyes, covering up the flickering gloom in her eyes.

He has never had redundant and abnormal emotions, so this time the intense restlessness and irritability have gone far beyond his habits.

He couldn't sleep well for several days, and carefully analyzed the source of his abnormality, but still found nothing.

It wasn't until he came back last night and lay down in this place where he had slept for two years that he felt something was wrong.

The brocade quilt smelled like it had been exposed to the hot sun, very much like Meng Ye, warm and lively.

Burying himself deeply under the quilt, Helian Gouyue felt the long-lost drowsiness sweep over him, and he calmly accepted the answer to the question that had tortured him for several days.

He likes Meng Ye.

Because I like it, I can't accept anyone's coveted eyes around him, even if he posted it on his own initiative.

Constricting the dark eyes, Helian Gouyue stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the osmanthus cake, but was stopped by Dangkong.

It was Meng Ye who held his chopsticks and led him to another plate.

"That's Ah Shao's, you eat this." Meng Ye smiled and pushed the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus pastries in front of him.

The hand that was stagnant in mid-air trembled slightly, Helian Gouyue retracted her hand, picked a piece at random, lowered her eyes and chewed slowly, without saying a word.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the table was a little dignified.

Looking at the scattered cakes on the table, Bai Bingchen smiled wryly, just as someone brought the medicine, he took it and drank it.

The bitter medicinal juice flowed down the tip of his tongue to his throat, together with the clogging feeling of medicinal dregs, which made Bai Bingchen frowned, and his mind went blank for a moment.

A piece of pastry was put on his lips, Bai Bingchen looked along and met Mei Shao's smiling eyes, and his heart was suddenly empty.

"It's painful."

In a daze, Mei Shao had already put the pastry into his mouth, and pressed Bai Bingchen's lips with his warm fingertips, both of them were taken aback for a moment.

Guilty glanced over, Bai Bingchen sipped half of the pastry, chewed it twice in a mess, saw Mei Shao still holding the half pastry, and softly refused: "It's too sweet."

In fact, he didn't even bother to distinguish the taste of the pastry, it was just an excuse in his panic.

"is it?"

Before Bai Bingchen could stop him, he watched Mei Shao tilt his head in doubt, and rolled the half of the pastry he had bitten into his mouth.

He squinted his eyes, the corners of his eyelids were curled up, and the long and dense eyelashes cast a shadow.

Throat tightened involuntarily, and Bai Bingchen's eyes showed an obscure and profound dark light, as if he wanted to tear apart the person in front of him from the air.

Such a gorgeous face and scissored eyes should belong to him, and they should belong to him completely.

Strong aggression surged in his heart, Bai Bingchen let out a breath, and barely suppressed the almost evil thoughts in his heart.

Seeing that they had already put their chopsticks down, Meng Ye said, "Shall we meet at the gate of the mansion after that cup of tea? Ah Shao, remember to wear the riding outfit I sent you. That was given to you by my father last year. For my birthday gift, I was never willing to wear it once."

"I'll go too." Helian Gouyue said, looking around between Meng Ye and Mei Shao.

"Okay!" Meng Ye teased happily: "I thought it was just me and Ah Shao, it was meaningless, but if you come to Gouyue, we can win the lottery. I will take the one I got a few days ago." Soft-hearted armor makes a bet. Gouyue, what are you offering?"

Helian Gouyue showed a restrained smile slowly, and said to Mei Shao: "Master Mei is here to discuss mutual market transactions? As long as your lord wins, no matter how much the final business tax is, I will pay [-]% more. "

Over the years, Helian Gouyue's spice business has become a major business, almost monopolizing the circulation of spices in the entire Liang and Li countries, and [-]% from him is already a huge sum.

Hearing the obvious provocation from his mouth, Mei Shao glanced at him quite meaningfully, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Mei can't easily promise to bet on public errands. It's just that I have some secrets Money, if I lose, how much do you have this year's spices, and how much can I eat at double the price?"

"Then I would like to ask Master Mei to give me some advice." The corners of Helian Gouyue's mouth were slightly curved, and his eyes were cold.

"Empty words have no proof, make a written proof! Make a written proof!" Meng Ye ran out to get a pen and paper, with an abacus under his arm, and ran back in a hurry.

While calculating quickly and muttering words in his mouth, Meng Ye counted the silver taels they bet, cracked the calculation, and wrote the bets on both sides clearly on the paper. The paper was pushed in front of the two of them.

"Don't regret it, get your fingerprints on!"

Mei Shao and Helian Gouyue glanced at each other across the air, and they both saw the disdain in each other's eyes, they chuckled lightly, and each pressed their fingerprints on the paper.

Meng Ye folded the two pieces of paper preciously, put them in his arms, glanced at the two with a smile, and said, "This little thing about me is not worth mentioning in front of your bets. I quit, and I will be a notary." .”

There was a little joy in his eyes, "As a notary, I must be fair and just. Please ask the two bankers to pay some middleman fees, not much, ten taels per person!"

The author says:

Osmanthus Cake: No one knows what I went through this morning, I'm just a pastry!

Meimei: Don't use your eyes to dazzle in front of my family in vain!

Helian Gouyue: You don't hang out in front of Meng Ye!

Meng Ye: Fight, fight, I want to collect money!
