"Huh?? Why thorn?"
The unexpected response shocked Gongsun Yue.
"Because 猹 can steal melons."
Gongsun Yue pursed her lips, feeling an inexplicable urge to kick him to the moon.
The atmosphere that was supposed to be full of fun actually made the animal's few words become more and more biased.
"you……"
Looking at Liang Xiao's calm face, Gongsun Yue finally couldn't help but said angrily: "Just tell me whether I'm beautiful or not!"
Liang Xiao said without thinking: "Mei, you are as beautiful as a one hundred tael silver note."
"Is there such a way to describe a girl? One hundred taels of silver?" Gongsun Yue asked in surprise.
"Well, let's take a hundred taels of gold tickets." Liang Xiao curled his lips and said.
Gongsun Yue was already on the verge of going berserk, and said resentfully: "Master Liang, you really know how to praise others."
Liang Xiao just stared at her.
Gongsun Yue became nervous again.
This was the first time she was stared at so seriously by him.
"Third Miss, you were not like this before." Liang Xiao sighed with disappointment on his face.
Gongsun Yue thought of the scene when she and Liang Xiao met, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. She returned to her gentleness and asked, "How was I before? I was very well-behaved, right?"
Liang Xiao said with a smile: "You used to know everything. As long as I gave a little hint, you would negotiate a business with me and go for a win-win situation. Such a third lady exudes the light of money in every gesture, and is sacred and inviolable. Yes. What made Miss Third become like this?"
Gongsun Yue watched him silently.
It’s really unexpected that the oil and salt are not enough.
This was the first time in her life that she felt like she was about to cry.
He can actually... laugh?
After a long time, Gongsun Yue hummed and said: "Of course I will discuss business with you, but...do you only have business in your eyes?"
Liang Xiao frowned and said: "You are the daughter of a wealthy family in Bashu, so of course you can't understand my thoughts. If you don't do business and have no money, how can I deal with emergencies and reward my Liang family army? Beihu may go south at any time. Once the north reaches If the defense is lost, will I still have leisure time, sitting at home drinking wine and admiring the moon?"
Gongsun Yue looked at Liang Xiao and was speechless for a moment.
Is this the family tradition of Lanlinghou Mansion?
She seemed to understand that Liang Xiao wanted to ensure the absolute safety of the northern border and truly cared about the people of his family and country.
Gongsun Yue thought for a moment and smiled: "Then, my family hopes to follow the example of those great Chu families and ask you to buy books. Let's order one hundred thousand copies of each kind..."
Liang Xiao nodded and said: "About this matter, the Prime Minister has already expected. Every page of the books sold to Bashu will be printed with special trademarks, representing your bookshops in Bashu. If one day a large number of books with a certain trademark return to other region, I will permanently cancel all cooperation with Bashu Book Industry."
Gongsun Yue was secretly happy.
As a result, the local wealthy families in Bashu who monopolize the book industry will more or less rely on the Gongsun family to act.
She also knew that this was the Zhou court's show of goodwill to the Gongsun family, and the Gongsun family must reciprocate.
"Don't you plan to integrate stories like "Journey to the West" and print them into a book?" Gongsun Yue asked again.
"Come on, let's sell a few batches of serious books first." Liang Xiao replied.
"When miscellaneous books like "Journey to the West" are published, my family also hopes to cooperate with Mr. Liang, but "Journey to the West" will be exclusively resold by my Gongsun family."
"It depends on the situation." Liang Xiao said.
Gongsun Yue finally felt better, so she offered tea to Liang Xiao.
Looking at Liang Xiao who finished the drink in one gulp, Gongsun Yue's thoughts became more and more complicated.
In the face of outsiders, is he so indifferent and only thinks about his career?
Then I have to work hard for my little sister and change my identity as an outsider...
After Gongsun Yue figured it out, he risked his life and asked again: "Why did Mr. Liang look at me with such heartache that day?"
Liang Xiao said vaguely: "Miss Third is dazzled!"
"I'm not dazzled~ Mr. Liang, have you remembered that we have met before~" Gongsun Yuejiao said with a smile.
"Oh? When?" Liang Xiao was unusually anxious.
This was also a question he wanted to know.
Why does she feel like she has seen her before when she looks extremely sweet and gentle?
Gongsun Yue looked around, but stopped talking.
Liang Xiao understood and expected that she would not dare to act recklessly, so he immediately dismissed all the Xuan guards.
Only a man and a woman were left alone in the yard.
Gongsun Yue then hummed and said, "Brother Liang Xiao, do you still remember your sister Yue Lian?"
Liang Xiao's pupils shrank: "Jian Yue Lian?"
Gongsun Yue finally showed a victorious smile and said in a happy mood, "You didn't expect it, right? You must know that everyone in my Gongsun family has another name!"
Liang Xiao looked at her with surprise.
Seeing his shock, Gongsun Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Liang Xiao is a descendant of the Martial Saint, he must also know about the relationship between the Sword Clan and the Gongsun family. There is no need for her to hide it.
Because she discovered Liang Xiao's weakness!
"I only remembered it recently! Brother Liang Xiao, I am your sister Yue Lian~ You even said you wanted to marry me when you were a child~" Gongsun Yue started to pretend to be well-behaved again.
"Tong Yan Wuji, we are not three-year-olds anymore, you should take this seriously." Liang Xiao said disapprovingly.
Gongsun Yue took the opportunity to sit next to Liang Xiao and hummed: "But you have kissed me! Since I was a child, I have only been kissed by you, a man. Tell me what to do!"
"That happened when I was four or five years old. Can you be more mature?" Liang Xiao frowned.
This Gongsun Yue is a woman from the Gongsun family!
"I don't care~" Gongsun Yue finally started her coquettish offensive and hugged Liang Xiao's arm.
"Miss Third, please respect yourself."
Gongsun Yue glanced at Liang Xiao, as if saying to herself: "Brother Liang Xiao, you don't want anyone to know about your martial saint's fake death, right?"
Hearing this, Liang Xiao was shocked!
Gongsun Yue met his disbelieving gaze and said proudly: "Brother Liang Xiao will not refuse his sister Yue Lian to visit him often~ Oh my, I feel so sorry for Brother Liang Xiao who is busy with other things~ From now on, I will only Sister Zhunyue Lian calls you Brother Liang Xiao~"
Liang Xiao only felt his scalp numb.
Why are the girls in Da Zhou more dangerous than the other...
Maybe, Gongsun Yue, who is holding her arm now, is still a potential yandere.
Logically speaking, no one who could be summoned by his old man would dare to reveal the secret that he was still alive.
But Gongsun Yue was still young at the time, so the old man didn't take it seriously...
Before the old man decided to show his cards, his disciple must not reveal the secret.
"Then, please don't ask me if Sister Yue Lian comes to your house from now on."
Liang Xiao looked at Gongsun Yue who was still acting coquettishly, and his brows trembled.
Her coquettish attitude is enough to kill ninety-nine percent of the men in the world.
Even he couldn't bear it.
"From now on, you can come if you want, but you are not allowed to cause trouble." Liang Xiao sighed.
Gongsun Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, filled with resentment.
"This animal made me sacrifice like this. Go back and prepare a few whips to whip him sooner or later!"
Late night inn, basement.
The weak candlelight reflected the stern faces of several children from aristocratic families.
Sitting in front of them were a group of strong men wearing masks.
The masked young man in the main seat had sharp eyes, as if he could read their thoughts.
"You are Long Wushuang? I will give you an additional one hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and add another condition, please lead the Northern Hebei Rangers to attack and kill Liang Xiao!"
