Since that day, Du Heng has come to greet Mrs. Zhao every day, if the old lady's face was cold as ice before, now it is three feet of ice, let her get up and say no more, just stand still.

Du Heng was awkward, standing there and not knowing what he should do, the old lady ordered her subordinates to do everything, and the old lady Zhao was also awkward, looking at Du Heng, she obviously wanted to go up and slap the two, but thinking about her stubbornly kneeling son, if she punished her, he would punish himself, and he couldn't punish her anymore after all. simply didn't speak, let her stand for a day to relieve the anger in her heart.

Zhao Shinan is busy hoarding cocoons everywhere these days, the summer cocoons around Yangzhou should be ordered, harvested, and the harvest of summer cocoons is optimistic, and Zhao Shinan is also very comfortable in his heart. The silk merchants in Yangzhou City have already heard that the Zhao family has purchased a new machine, and the silk produced is tough and white, and after seeing a few loads of samples, they are competing to order the silk of the Zhao family. For a while, it became a strange commodity.

There are silk merchants who are familiar with Zhao Shinan, and in order to order more silk, they asked Zhao Shinan to go to Yihong Hall to drink. Everyone in Yangzhou City knows that Zhao Shinan's favorite pastime is the Yihong Pavilion. Zhao Shinan was not rude, he went twice, but he only ate and drank in the front hall, and did not go to the backyard to find the girl as usual.

Su Xiaowei has not picked up customers since she was taught a lesson by Master Xu. Division Commander Xu marched to the barracks, and his hand was not serious, and Su Xiaoyi's face was swollen for a month with a slap. Hearing that Zhao Shinan came to the Red Pavilion twice, Su Xiaoyi's heart was tugging, and she hoped that he would come to see her, if it wasn't for thinking about Zhao Shinan in her heart, she wouldn't have to suffer this crime. But after waiting twice, Zhao Shinan was half-drunk, and then got up and went back.

Su Xiaowei couldn't hold back any longer, and for the third time she heard that Zhao Shinan was drinking in the front hall, her face was covered with a veil, and she took the stage on behalf of Xiaolian, who sang a little song that night. tuned the strings, Su Xiaowei gently sang "Pipa Xing": "Xunyang Jiangtou sends off guests at night, maple leaves and flowers are ------- in autumn"

Zhao Shinan listened to the familiar voice, and looked at the platform in the center, Su Xiaoyi, who was dressed in peach-pink clothes, was playing with the pipa, as if she wanted to cry blood, and when she heard the sentence "businessmen value profits and light parting", the corners of Zhao Shinan's lips couldn't help but rise.

At the end of the song, Zhao Shinan quit the banquet and walked to Su Xiaoyi's room on the second floor of the backyard. Su Xiaowei heard footsteps in a hurry, and when she saw Zhao Shinan again, she couldn't help but stick to it like fire.

Zhao Shinan is accustomed to Fengyue, hooked Su Xiaoyi's waist with one hand, leaned down, and gently bit the veil on Su Xiaoni's face with her lips, this frivolous action made Su Xiaoyin's heart sway, and her hands had already drawn Zhao Shinan's back and probed into the placket. Zhao Shinan, who hadn't experienced anything with men and women for a long time, was hot all over, and he was wheezing on the side of Su Xiaoyi's neck: "Think of me like this, huh?"

Su Xiaoyi's tears are about to come out: "I miss you, it's you who dreams every night." Zhao Shinan was even hotter and hotter, and his words were sometimes aphrodisiac, Zhao Shinan couldn't hold it anymore, and threw Su Xiaoyan on the bed, the lamp and candle at the head of the bed illuminated the purple curtain, Zhao Shinan suddenly saw some bruises on Su Xiaoan's face, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaoyun was crying: "It's not for you." Zhao Shinan didn't care about it, but suddenly remembered the bruises on Du Heng's body, and the heat on his body suddenly receded, and he was no longer interested. Zhao Shinan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that there is someone in his heart, and it is really not easy to do things.

Su Xiaoyi's hand was still wandering around restlessly, but she found that Zhao Shinan was unresponsive, and thought that it was the bruises on her face that made Zhao Shinan sick to her stomach, and couldn't help covering her face and whispering: "Why do you dislike me, it's because you remember you and don't want to obey that Master Xu, so you were beaten like this, it's been a month, and it's still swollen like this." ”

Su Xiaoyun thought that these words could move Zhao Shinan, but he didn't expect that he didn't feel good when he heard it, Fengyue Field was a game, once he recognized the truth, he would be stalked, and it would be meaningless. If before getting married, Su Xiaoyi's sincerity could satisfy Zhao Shinan's vanity as a man, then now, it just makes him dodge.

Zhao Shinan got up slowly, and Su Xiaowei tugged at his sleeve: "Shi Nan, don't you understand my sincerity?"

Zhao Shinan gently broke her hand away, frowned and stood at the window, thought for a while, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, pressed it to her dresser, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yin, this silver ticket, you just want to redeem yourself, and it is enough." I won't come again. ”

"Why?" Su Xiaowei hesitated, and her voice was a little sharp under the excitement, "What am I wrong?

"It's not these. Zhao Shinan paused and said categorically: "I can't give you what you want." After saying that, he got up, pushed open the door, and strode out.

Su Xiaowei chased out, but Zhao Shinan was already missing in the night. On the dresser, there was a large amount of silver ticket, Su Xiaoyu suddenly laughed, laughing so much that her face was full of tears, and they all said that the bitch was ruthless and the play was unrighteous, and it turned out that the most ruthless and unrighteous person was a man.

When Zhao Shinan arrived at home, he looked at Du Heng, who was reading quietly under the lamp, and suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart, although he also felt that this trace of guilt was inexplicable. How can the man be ashamed of the warbler and Yanyan outside? He couldn't help but cough lightly.

Du Heng raised his eyes to see him standing at the door, smiled, and ordered Futaba to fetch water and serve him to change his clothes and wash. Zhao Shinan found that Du Heng had been waiting for him to come back every day recently, and he had consciously taken on the task of serving him. couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and grabbed Du Heng's hand: "---- tonight"

Du Heng hurriedly interrupted him, looked at the beams on the house and muttered, "Is there a mouse?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Shinan with clear eyes: "Why don't you let someone clean our two rooms tomorrow?"

Zhao Shinan looked at her seemingly innocent eyes, and couldn't express the anxiety in his heart, hooked his lips and smiled: "Oh, you want to find someone to clean the house tomorrow?" I originally wanted to go to Gujiazhuang outside Yangzhou City to see the printing and dyeing factory, if you are idle, I will take you with me." ”

Du Heng couldn't sink when he heard Zhao Shinan's words, and his eyes lit up and said, "Then take me with you." ”

"You're not going to clean the house?" Zhao Shinan smiled.

Du Heng bit his lip and smiled embarrassedly: "It seems that there are no rats again." He blushed and turned away. Tell Futaba to come in and clean up the house. Seeing that Zhao Shinan has not yet gone to the outside world, and understands the meaning of his sentence "tonight--", this day will come sooner or later, Du Heng beat a drum in his heart, sat on the edge of the bed and hesitated: escape, or not escape. It's not ready yet, but—Zhao Shinan isn't that annoying----

was thinking about it, but was carried by Zhao Shinan and fell on the bed, blowing out the lamp and candle. In the dark, Du Heng struggled: "Don't." ”

"Don't want anything?" Zhao Shinan smiled, lay down in his clothes, and hugged Du Heng, who was fluttering beside him, "Hurry up and sleep." Leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Du Heng stopped fluttering, it turned out that he didn't mean that----- his face was even more bleeding, and he didn't even dare to turn over when he was straight and straight all night.

Gujiazhuang is ten miles east of Yangzhou City, and several printing and dyeing factories of the Zhao family are located there. When Zhao Shinan returned from Nanjing, he began to think about what brocade to send to Mr. Cheng. The Zhao family also has a lot of Yangzhou's famous brocade, Suhua crepe, Luo Yi yarn, Wanhua brocade, rich flower and bird brocade, silver red and purple brocade------ but Zhao Shinan looked at it, or he was not satisfied. The silk of the Zhao family is excellent, and the weaving is also uniform and dense, needless to say, but only the color, I always feel that something is missing. And color is the soul of a brocade, without color, no matter how good it is, nothing else will help. Zhao Shinan was going to go to the printing and dyeing factory to see the brocade that had been dyed recently.

Du Heng, who was locked in the deep boudoir compound, was naturally full of strong interest in all kinds of outings, even when he went to the outskirts of the city, he was very happy. As Zhao Shinan arrived at the outskirts by car, only a few dozen minutes, Du Heng was a little annoyed: "So fast, I knew how good it would be to come in a carriage." ”

An aunt in the printing and dyeing factory took Du Heng to go around, Zhao Shinan went straight to the printing and dyeing room in the backyard, the flat dyed silk was too ordinary, and the color of the dye was delicate, but the color was always white on a blue background, which was not suitable for dresses, and the satin pattern was rough to prevent dyeing. It didn't have the shiny color that Zhao Shinan expected. Zhao Shinan's brows became tighter and tighter, and he didn't feel that his voice was violent: "Just dye this kind of color?"

The steward of a dyeing factory said with a sad face: "The color you ordered last time was dyed like this. ”

Zhao Shinan frowned tighter, and the steward said tremblingly: "Instead of this, why don't you make jacquard?" When jacquard is weaving brocade, it uses unused silk threads, warp and weft intersect, and weaves a pattern, eliminating the trouble of dyeing the whole fabric. However, jacquard needs to spend a lot of time in advance to arrange the jacquard scheme before weaving the brocade.

Zhao Shinan said coldly: "This is the material for making cheongsam, jacquard?" The steward didn't dare to say any more, if the jacquard material was made into a cheongsam, it would not be elegant after all, but it would be okay to make curtains and quilts.

Zhao Shinan's dyeing recipe is a collection of many people's strengths, and he also spent a lot of money to buy other people's heirloom recipes, but in the end he dyed these things, and it was difficult to calm down, and said to the steward: "Dye another horse today, I will watch it myself." ”

Du Heng followed his aunt back and forth in front of the printing and dyeing factory, and soon finished reading it, and wanted to walk into the village, but the aunt hurriedly grabbed her: "The young master ordered not to go far, I don't have the guts, the young grandmother should follow the young master." ”

Du Heng turned back, and saw Zhao Shinan looking at the dyed silk hanging with clear eyes, and was silent. Du Heng stretched out his hand and touched the one that had been dried, remembering that when he was a child, he was also like this scene. The drunken brocade of the Du family used to be full of splendor, but unfortunately, it is no longer what it used to be.
