However, the darts were all money on the surface. The biggest source of income for the Qing Gang was the Willow River Duan Clan, which controlled the south of Cloud Prefecture. Naturally, it was the entry and exit of food and salt.

Although the Chao Chung Hall was at Clear Water Town, she was also involved with this piece. However, this profession could not be told to those who knew about it.

Obviously, Zhang Shan didn't know that the Manager Wu and Qin Wuya had already known about the Qing Gang's business.

However, Qin Wuya did not plan to interfere in this matter. The imperial government did not even care about such matters, what was she worrying about?

Seeing Qin Wuya not saying a word, and only lowering her eyes and staring blankly at the osmanthus tea in her cup, Zhang Shan knew that she was still thinking about business matters and couldn't help but laugh. At this time, the boat had already swam to water chestnut lake, and it was the best time for her to enjoy the scenery, but the little girl didn't even glance at it.

But what could he do? Who asked him to choose her? Now that her heart was set, she knew what her character was.

But perhaps this was what made her different from other women.

Qin Wuya naturally did not know of Zhang Shan's helplessness. Her current thoughts were truly focused on how to marinate the mountain honey and osmanthus, and how to preserve them for a little longer.

Qin Wuya remembered that when she was young, his maternal grandma's house had many osmanthus trees, and before autumn even arrived, his grandma would pick the osmanthus flowers mixed with white sugar to marinate them. At that time, there was no refrigerator in the countryside, but it could be stored for a year.

Since grandmother has a way to fix it, Qin Wuya was not worried that she would not be able to find a way. Although her young memories were shallow, she wasn't without a way either.

Autumn is a very common sight in the Cloud Prefecture, and tea made from autumn cinnamon cake is also very common on the market, so the price isn't high. Therefore, Qin Wuya never would have thought that she could push the business out right now.

Rare items were priceless. Only those that wanted to eat but couldn't would have any value.

Settling his thoughts, Qin Wuya raised the curtain on the side of the boat and turned to look at the sparkling boat.

The autumn wind was the coolest, so today was the first day that it was convenient to leave the house. Wang Nu had wrapped herself with a thick layer of cloth around Qin Wuya's waist, it was currently a little hot, and when one saw the wind, they felt comfortable.

"You've finally given up on your thoughts?"

The water of the water chestnut lake was calm, and the pleasure boat on the lake moved smoothly. Zhang Shan stood up, took the rope, and patiently rolled up the curtain on Qin Wuya's side.

"Yes."

He knew that Zhang Shan was laughing at him. However, Qin Wuya also felt that it was a bit inappropriate for his mind to wander, so he did not argue with Zhang Shan.

"The water chestnut lake gradually felt that the scenery was good, and the ripples were broken. Hibiscus smoke outside the light, red apricot branches spring. Fu Sheng hated to entertain less, willing to love the gold smiled lightly.

"Jun holds the wine and advises the setting sun, and leaves a late evening sunshine among the flowers …"

"Eh, it seems to be the woman from earlier."

Qin Wuya curiously looked out of the window. At this time, there were many pleasure boats resting on the surface of the water chestnut lake, some of them were gold, some of them were muslin, causing Qin Wuya to be unable to tell where the singing came from.

"You like it that much?"

Hearing the singing coming from afar outside the window, Zhang Shan's face turned slightly cold. It had only unconsciously become a little warmer when it came to Qin Wuya.

"Never heard of it. I just find it strange. When he was at the inn a few days ago, he always heard the teahouse across the street asking someone to take pity on him and sing a song. It was just that at that time, they were separated by a street, and the people on the street who dealt in trade were all very noisy, so they couldn't hear clearly. "It sounds very touching."

After he finished speaking, Qin Wuya suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something.

"I felt that this woman's voice was familiar, but now I think it's similar to what I heard in the inn. I heard from Wang Nu that it's called Ying Ge? "

As soon as he said the word "Ying Ge", Qin Wuya suddenly cast his gaze at Zhang Shan.

"You two are familiar with each other?"

Previously, Mrs Fang had said that this Ying Ge had the Chao Chung Hall's identity plate and had been to the Clear Water Town a few times. There was no reason for Zhang Shan to not know about it.

"It's just that I know him, but I'm not familiar with him."

Zhang Shan glanced at Qin Wuya, and then took a sip of Gui Hua Tea. Her expression was indifferent, without a trace of anger.

"Really?"

"Seriously."

Qin Wuya laughed, but did not ask any further, only slightly narrowing her eyes at the song playing outside the window.

"What, you believe that?"

Zhang Shan frowned. It was clear that he was unsure if he should continue with the smile on Qin Wuya's face.

"So what if I believe? So what if I don't?"

Qin Wuya raised her eyebrows, but didn't look at Zhang Shan. She only bent her body slightly, and wanted to reach out to the lake outside the cruise liner. She just didn't want the lake to be right in front of him. If she really wanted to drop it, she wouldn't be able to touch it.

"If you want to bathe in water, you should go to the stern. That place is a bit flat."

Zhang Shan stood up to support Qin Wuya, but he saw that Qin Wuya's body had dodged her hand, causing him to become sluggish, and the two of them stayed where they were, not knowing what to do.

Qin Wuya also didn't know why she intentionally avoided Zhang Shan's hands just now, but she had already done it, so what could she do?

Qin Wuya laughed in ridicule. She originally did not want to speak with Zhang Shan anymore, but she could not help but ridicule his:

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by Ying Ge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wuya's body stiffened before he could even speak. Qin Wuya's face was slightly flushed. Even she herself couldn't figure out what was wrong with herself to say something like what had just happened.

Qin Wuya didn't dare to speak anymore, but she still couldn't help but chuckle:

"Are you jealous?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Wuya was embarrassed and angry at the same time, she turned her face away and did not look at Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan didn't mind as well. He could only laugh as he held Qin Wuya's hands and carefully sized them up:

"I've only seen her a few times, but they're not familiar to me."

"We're not familiar with each other, so why did Ying Ge travel thousands of miles to find you in the Clear Water Town?"

Qin Wuya lowered her eyes, clenched her teeth, and finally asked the question she was holding in at the bottom of her heart.

"I don't know why Ying Ge went to the Clear Water Town, maybe to look for someone else from the Hall."

The smile in Zhang Shan's ink-like eyes became even more pronounced: "He asked with such detail and even said that he wasn't jealous. It's just that I don't know who told her about Ying Ge, but she still remembers it.

"Then the Chao Chung Hall badge in her hands was also given by someone else?"

Qin Wuya dodged Zhang Shan's hand and felt that what Zhang Shan said just now was too fake. It was fine if she was talking about someone else, but Zhang Shan was the hall master of the Chao Chung Hall. If he did not agree, where did Ying Ge get the Chao Chung Hall's order badge from?

"Ying Ge has the Chao Chung Hall's plate?" Zhang Shan was startled, and his eyes turned cold.

"You don't know?"

When Qin Wuya saw that Zhang Shan did not seem to be lying, she felt it was strange.

Even Mother Fang's Wang Nu knew about this, why did Zhang Shan, as the hall master of the Chao Chung Hall, not know about it?

"When I return to the hall, I will investigate this matter in detail."

Every brother in the hall had a plate for the Chao Chung Hall. If it weren't for the arrival of his new brother, the master of the trade wouldn't have gone to the new system. Even if he had not personally placed an iron seal on the new sign, it would still be useless.

"I'm going to sit in the stern."

Qin Wuya really could not stand the falling temperature of the house, she awkwardly stood up, she pulled open the curtain in front of him and was about to go out, but before she knew it, her body was stretched out, and the hand holding onto the curtain was held by Zhang Shan.

"I'll accompany you."

"Yes."

Qin Wuya nodded. She did not pull out the hand that Zhang Shan was tightly holding, but her face could not help but turn red.

At this time, the sky had already darkened slightly. It was unknown when the setting sun, which should have illuminated the golden lakewater, had appeared behind the clouds, but a warm red light seeped out from the clouds and mixed with the deep blue on all four sides, turning into a large patch of deep purple.

Qin Wuya comfortably found a place to sit down. Facing the night wind, she rolled up her sleeves and extended her fingertips to the chilly water ripples in the lake.

"Be careful."

Zhang Shan sat by Qin Wuya's side. Seeing Qin Wuya's body was leaning forward, she reached out and put her arm around her shoulders.

Zhang Shan held it very carefully, very lightly, as if it had only lightly stuck to Qin Wuya's clothes. But even so. The two of them were almost touching.

Qin Wuya's hands were sweating, as if the water in the lake had become boiling hot in that moment.

"Head …"

The song coming from nearby stopped abruptly as the beautiful woman's slender fingers pressed on the zither strings, emitting an ear-piercing hissing sound. The woman's lips trembled as she looked at the man and woman who were sitting together on the deck of the boat in disbelief.

Hearing the voice of the talking girl, Qin Wuya's finger that was playing with the lake water also stopped, but she did not raise her head to look, and only pretended that she did not know anything.

Zhang Shan raised his head to look at Ying Ge who was less than ten meters away from him. He was wearing a blue outer garment as he hugged his lute, and had a face that was on the verge of tears but had yet to cry.

The hand that was originally gently resting on Qin Wuya's shoulder suddenly tightened, and pulled Qin Wuya into an embrace.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Shan's unexpected action scared Qin Wuya. Ignoring the fact that Qin Wuya was still holding onto the lake water, she reached out her hands to push against Zhang Shan's chest, wanting to increase the distance between the two of them. Unexpectedly, this person's chest looked thin and weak like a wall, and would not move no matter how he pushed.

"Don't move."

Afraid that Qin Wuya's actions would affect her wound, Zhang Shan lowered her head and pressed her lips to Qin Wuya's ear. Laughing with lowered eyelids, she grabbed Qin Wuya's shoulder and tightened the knot in her fingers:

"Didn't you worry that Ying Ge and I would become entangled? Now is the perfect time to prove it."

"Who asked you to prove it?" Qin Wuya was embarrassed and angry, but he did not struggle, allowing Zhang Shan to hold her in his arms.

Ying Ge was half-reclining on the cruise liner. When she saw the man and woman that were intimately in each other's embrace, her complexion immediately paled and her almond eyes widened in anger.

Because she knew Zhang Shan was coming to the water chestnut lake to travel on the boat, she forced herself to get dressed after singing and drinking all night long. She clearly knew that he would only come to the water chestnut lake in the evening, yet she had already ordered someone to prepare a boat in the lake to wait for him.

As for him, when they first met, he had rushed past without even being able to see him.

Ying Ge bit his lower lip, almost bleeding.

At that time, she felt that something was wrong, but she was still thinking that he was just busy. Why was it that when he saw her sitting in front of him with her in his arms, he still couldn't see her?
