At night, Ye Qing and King Qing's carriage slowly drove into Yangzhou City, and drove along the bustling streets and dim lights towards their respective mansions.

After the New Year, the snow fell for several days and finally stopped a few days ago. As the temperature rose, in just three or two days, Yangzhou City had completely lost the shadow of snow.

The paved stone roads with bluestone and the rammed loess are no longer as clean, clear, muddy dirt roads as snowy days, and the bluestone roads with brown soil make small bridges, narrow alleys and rippling water docks in Yangzhou. During this period, some of the unique elegance of Jiangnan is missing, and a little bit of the excitement and boldness left behind by the New Year.

The few ruts that can be rolled out on the compact loess road were also covered in black with nightfall. Huge carriages slowly drove on the secluded streets, and from time to time, there would be innocent laughter from children from afar.

At the back door of Liu Dexiu's mansion, several carriages slowly stopped. The deep rut marks behind him showed that the goods carried in the car must be quite light.

As the back door opened, on the quiet back street, the three Liu family servants who bullied Yang Bailao and Yang Xier at the Twenty-four Bridge began to unload the heavy goods on the carriage nervously and orderly with the others.

"Where is Lord Liu?" a coachman who came with the carriage asked in a low voice.

"Duke Chongguo and others are in the mansion, don't worry, there will be no trouble." The servant glanced left and right at both sides of the street, and said while helping to lift it down.

At the same time, Ye Qing's carriage slowly stopped at the door of the mansion. As soon as he got off the car, Xu Qing could smell the alcohol on Ye Qing's body from a distance, and couldn't help but frown and said, "When will the army let drink?"

"King Qing went to the camp today, so he had a few drinks when he was happy." Ye Qing said with a clear expression.

Xu Qing nodded silently, then pointed behind him and said, "Be careful, I don't know who Qingcheng is angry today."

"It's been several years since my child's mother. Can you stop being a girl?" Ye Qing, dissatisfied, said to Yan Qing's name.

Although Yan Qingcheng was indeed an unmarried girl when they first met, now that so many years have passed, can't Xu Qing change his words?

"I'm talking nonsense, in my eyes, they are all girls." Xu Qing said dissatisfiedly, then turned his head and walked towards his "post" in the doorman.

Ye Qing looked at Xu Qing, whose back was already hunched, shook his head and smiled bitterly. So many years have passed, and everything has changed at the beginning, but some people always want to be stubborn and hope to keep some good times in the past.

"I really hope that time can be returned." Ye Qing sighed loudly as he walked to the backyard.

Xu Qing, who raised the teacup in the room, paused, and then smiled bitterly, and continued to savor the tea he had just brewed. He was quite satisfied with everything now. At least no matter what, he ended up with a good end, so he didn't have to worry about spending his old age alone alone.

After washing off all the alcohol, put on dry clothes and walked out, Yan Qingcheng was alone in the room, and the two little guys were no longer in the room at some point.

"Where is the person?" Ye Qing asked in a daze.

Yan Qingcheng, who looked at the account book, said without raising his head: "How could they bear the smell of wine on you so strong? I just waited for you for a long time and now I have gone to bed."

"Is the alcohol smell that strong?" Ye Qing couldn't help but come to his mind. When he just came back, two little guys rushed over happily, but when he smelled the smell of wine on his body, he immediately hid from a distance as if he had seen a ghost.

Yan Qingcheng ignored Ye Qing, continued to look at the account book, and asked without raising his head: "You have withdrawn a lot of cash from the money house today. What is your purpose?"

Yan Qingcheng raised his head under the light, his bright eyes were not gentle at all, just like he would do business in the Chamber of Commerce on weekdays.

"Well, I will find a way to return it to the money house in a few days." Ye Qing nodded and said.

"Let's find a way? Return it to the money house? Can you come back after you get the money you have bought? It's simply a fool." Yan Qingcheng asked in a cold tone: "Why don't you tell me in advance?"

"It's urgent to follow the power, and it's also for the sake of keeping it confidential." Ye Qing walked to Yan Qingcheng and sat down, and hugged Yan Qingcheng's slender waist.

Yan Qingcheng, wearing a thin moon white pajamas, had black and bright hair scattered softly behind her head. After just taking a shower, her body exuded an attractive faint fragrance. The almost perfect charm of a mature woman was undoubtedly revealed on her model-like body.

Every frown and smile is so charming. Her fair cheeks without makeup, her faint willow-leaf eyebrows, her faint red lips, and her bright and charming eyes have passed so many years, but as if time has forgotten her existence, there has almost no trace of time left on her beautiful face.

"Pick your hand away, don't touch me." Yan Qingcheng obviously pulled off the hand that Ye Qing placed on her waist with a hint of emotion, but the person never moved, and still let Ye Qing sit next to her.

"What's wrong? This is?" Ye Qing didn't think that it was because he did not inform her in advance if he withdraws cash from the money house today, so Yan Dajia was so angry.

"Hmph, what do you mean? What is the use of so much cash silver? Can you still bring all of it to Liao Kingdom? Such heavy cash silver will crush you to death." Yan Qingcheng continued to say unhappy.

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then slowly stretched out a hand and pinched Yan Qingcheng's beautiful chin, making the beautiful face look at him, saying, "Do you think I am planning to take it to Daliao?"

"Isn't it?" Yan Qingcheng patted Ye Qing's hand and continued to say coldly: "The Liao Kingdom now has a money house. You can take out any amount of money from there. Why do you have to be so troublesome? Are you afraid that I will know?"

Even though he asked this, he was still a little proud. No matter what, at least it means that this guy still knows to take into account his own feelings.

"You don't want to listen to what is going on in the court. In short, I have to take this money to Liao Kingdom, and not to mention that I don't need to bring so much money to Liao Kingdom." Ye Qing stretched out his hand to Yan Qingcheng's waist again. This time, the beauty Yan just resisted symbolically, and then let the man's hand touch his waist back and forth.

"Why?" She almost subconsciously asked, but after asking, she regretted it. After all, she hadn't hated the intrigue in the court for a long time. Although she cared about Ye Qing's safety, she really didn't like those open and secret struggles, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What did you remember today? You actually drank so much wine?"

"King Qing." Ye Qing did not bother with the court affairs and said with a smile: "The beautiful tradition of our Chinese nation. If people want to enhance their feelings, it is obviously not as fast as drinking to enhance their feelings. Wine culture is simply the greatest invention in the world."

"Nonsense." Yan Qingcheng closed the clothes on her chest, and was hugged by someone's waist. At this time, her chest was already full of spring, and someone's vision was still wandering in that towering place.

"After all, they are royal clans. Although you are an important member of the court, to put it bluntly, they are also a minister of others. The officialdom is actually similar to the business world. It's just that everyone gets together after making profits, and when they don't make profits, they are like passers-by." Yan Qingcheng struggled with Ye Qing's hand, but he had no choice but to be the opponent of this big pervert. So in the blink of an eye, Yan Dagu's chest was almost completely lost and exposed to the air.

"Yes, you can have this enlightenment obviously because you have learned the essence of your father's way of doing business." Ye Qing's hand placed on Yan Qingcheng's waist had moved to Yan Qingcheng's chest, and there was also a hurried breathing sound from Yan Damei's ears.

"Then what's more happy about you? It won't be that much money, I'll give it to King Qing, right?" Yan Qingcheng had nowhere to put his hands at this moment. He wanted to talk to Ye Qing well, but he was reluctant to let go of the strange feeling that made her feel comfortable from her body.

Ye Qing smiled and said, "You will know after a while." Then he began to conquer Yan Qingcheng. In just a while, the thin pajamas on Yan Da Ge's body had all fallen on the thick carpet under his feet, and his whole body was instantly picked up by Ye Qing and walked towards the bed next to him.

Whether it is King Qing or Duke Chong, it is definitely not easy to be true friends with these noble people.

Even though Ye Qing's rights are enough to be valued by members of the royal clan, the noble dignity passed down by the royal clan over hundreds of years has made these royal clans, even if they have no rights in their hands and are in poverty, their minds are still in an unattainable situation.

Just like those literati who are so arrogant that they are, even if their families are poor, their lives are almost out of reach. They are often in a dilemma of not having the last meal. But as long as they still have the identity of literati, they will always adhere to the so-called noble dignity.

Even though they knew that they could not get three meals a day, they still maintained their useless nobleness and dignity, and they disdained to join the merchants, the people and other groups they looked down upon at all levels. In their hearts, they were scholars and royal family, which were noble and unattainable. Even if they were almost poor, this useless integrity must be maintained.

Compared with those pedantic and self-pretentious, but very failed in life, the dignity and arrogance of the royal family have more adaptable principles than those of literati.

But even so, even if it is a powerful minister like Ye Qing, with his current status and identity, it is extremely difficult to truly make friends with a royal family.

After all, in the eyes of the noble royal family, the ministers of Wuyang and Wuyang in the court are just ministers of their Zhao Song royal family, and they are naturally much lower than their royal family.

You can chat and laugh with your ministers, have a romantic relationship, drink and have fun on weekdays, but it does not mean that in your heart, they will treat you as a true confidant.

Just like the saying in the workplace in later generations: a leader can treat you as a brother, but it is the same principle that you must not treat your leader as a brother.

Combined with Ye Qing now, the same is true. Now that he can get the sincere and honest answers from King Qing, in addition to his current status, status and power, he naturally has his behind-the-scenes measures, which also makes King Qing, who has felt a little guilty, begin to regard him as Ye Qing as a true friend.

Yan Qingcheng, who had a passionate aftertaste on his face, looked at the marks he had just gritted on Ye Qing's shoulder with satisfaction, feeling that he was still pressing heavily on her delicate body, but gave her an illusion that Ye Qing had entered her body, and asked breathlessly: "In this way, in Yangzhou, there is no need to be too guarded against King Qing in the future?"

"Yes, I still have to help you. If you need to help, you can walk around more in the future, whether it is because of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce or the Zhong Qing who is far away in Lin'an, Bai Chun will have some benefits." Ye Qing said, looking at the delicate cheek under her.

"Then are you still using someone?" Yan Qingcheng stretched out his fist in dissatisfaction and pounded Ye Qing's strong chest. The spring light on his chest was also tempted by this action.

Diandian red beans were pinned in someone's hand, and Yan Qingcheng instantly arched up to cater to Ye Qing's body, and Ye Qing's words rang in his ears: "This kind of use is mutual help between friends, and it is not even a use, but a simple help. Just like a businessman in a chamber of commerce, although he values ​​profit rather than separation, isn't he sincere to his family and children?"

"Uh..." Yan Qingcheng's throat made a seductive sound, and Ye Qing under her seemed to stimulate her whole body and mind again. She hugged Ye Qing's neck tightly into her arms, opened her lips slightly, and said with a breath: "I understand. In short, treating King Qing in the future will be like Duke Chong."

"So smart." Ye Qing said in a low voice as he smelled the familiar breath between his hair. The beauty in her arms was obviously unable to control herself at this time, and the sound from her mouth became more and more fascinating.

Time seemed to be still. As Yan Qingcheng's panting sounded intermittently, the two of them were still tightly fitting together and panting heavily.

"When are you planning to go north?" Sweat made a few strands of hair stick to Ye Qing's shoulders. Yan Qingcheng asked gently and caringly, choosing her own hair.

"After the Lantern Festival, we will go north. Thank you for everything in the mansion." Ye Qing pecked on his red lips and said.

Yan Qingcheng nodded silently, but a crystal tears flowed from the corner of his eyes. He hugged Ye Qing tightly: "Every time I parted, I always make people feel scared and uncomfortable..."
