In the next few days, Mrs. Wu instructed Xu Qian to embroider the dowry from midnight to noon every day, and rested for half an hour after lunch to guide the promised female workers from time to time.

promised that if the female workers did not grow, Wu Niangzi would not have a black face, but would be more patient.

The temperament is better than that of the previous ladies who taught the promise, and from time to time he praised the promise for his good memory, and there was not a good word.

One day at the end of March, Wu Niangzi arrived at the Mingjing Pavilion before the time, promised to salute and invited her to sit down, Chuntang quickly removed the pen and ink on the desk, and moved the embroidery shed to Wu Niangzi and Xu Promise.

Wu Niangzi was just about to speak, when the three of them heard panicked footsteps outside the door.

It's July.

As soon as she heard the voice, she could tell who it was, not because she had amazing ears to recognize the people outside, but because the only person who dared to run so heavily in her courtyard was July.

July stopped at the door, panting, holding the door with one hand and pressing his chest with the other.

Promise nodded and motioned for her to come in.

Although July was in a hurry, he did not forget the etiquette, and came in to salute the two people in the house, and then said: "Mrs. Hu has returned to Beijing." ”

Her voice was a little hoarse, but she couldn't hide her excitement.

Promise nodded and motioned for her to continue.

July swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Mrs. Hu asked someone to spread the word that she wanted you to go out of the city to pick her up." ”

Xu Yu blinked, thinking that Hu Ling, this guy, would come back suddenly, and even named her out of the city to pick her up, what was she going to do?

After hearing Qiyue's words, she turned her head to look at Wu Niangzi.

Since Mrs. Wu was invited to the Xu family to teach the lady of the Xu family, she naturally understood Xu Yu and Xu Qian in advance. also knows who the Hu Niangzi in July's mouth is.

She stared at the promise for a moment with round eyes, and immediately smiled, and said, "Sixth lady." Since you have something to do today, you can study for an extra hour tomorrow, and I happen to have some things to do here, so I came to talk to you in advance. ”

"Thank you Mrs. Wu, Liuniang will go first. With permission, he got up, tugged at his skirt, and ran out.

looked at the figure of Xu Promise leaving in a hurry with two handmaidens. The smile on Wu Niangzi's face faded, and her eyes changed from the previous hot pillow to indifference, as if she had changed into a different person.

After a moment of silence. Her gaze fell on a wooden box next to the Promise Pillow.

He promised to go to Yingcheng Temple first and got permission from the Lu family, and then took a car to the outside of the city.

Hu Ling slipped out of Hufu more than a month ago, left Beijing alone, and went to Suzhou.

Promise had expected her to return at the end of the summer. Didn't want to come back so early.

Could it be that it was to attend Mrs. Hu's birthday two days later?

Mrs. Hu is very fond of Hu Ling, a granddaughter. It is also possible for Hu Ling to come back.

Or, as she said when she left Beijing: "If I don't bring him back, my Hu Sanniang will write my name backwards from now on." ”

He here is naturally Zhu Shang.

Since Hu Ling first met Zhu Shang, he fell in love with this squinting and smiling person.

I like this fox-like person.

Can't see through, can't figure it out.

Such people should have avoided them.

But she still approached without hesitation.

Hu Ling immediately told her promise of her liking for Zhu Shang.

Xu Yu thought that Hu Ling was just a temporary nymphomaniac. I don't want her to be true.

As a "gambler" who regards money as her life, Hu Ling sent all the silver money she saved and all the jewelry she had saved over the years to Zhu Shang. Whether he wants it or not.

Moreover, after the New Year, he went to Suzhou alone and threatened to bring back his man.

When Fang Jing and Zhu Shang left Bianjing, one promised not to stay in Bianjing for more than three consecutive days, otherwise he would cut off one arm, and the other promised never to enter Bianjing, otherwise he would never make money in business again.

Not letting Zhu Shang make money was a fatal blow to him, and this oath was hateful enough and showed his determination.

If he really accompanied Hu Ling into Beijing, then what should he do with his countless properties?

With the promise of understanding that Zhu Shang loves money like his life, he sincerely believes that he is reluctant to work hard for all these years.

The carriage traveled outside the city, promised to lift the curtain with one hand, and looked around, but Hu Ling was nowhere to be seen.

Then he said to the coachman: "Continue along the official road." ”

Along the way, July and Chuntang stared outside in turn, worried that they would miss Hu Ling.

Promising to order tea in the carriage, a cup of hot tea was down, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.

Tired but handsome horse.

With the sound of horses' hooves was Chuntang's exclamation: "Lady, lady, I see Mrs. Hu." ”

Xu Promise put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Chuntang's finger, and saw two horses coming in this direction side by side in the faint green.

One was dressed in a capable black brocade robe, with black hair tied on the top of his head, and he was heroic.

If you look closely, you can see from the willow eyebrows and apricot eyes that it is a woman.

The other was dressed in a red brocade robe embroidered with large peach blossoms, which were very fancy in both texture and color.

The back is extremely straight, the phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, who else can it be if it is not Zhu Shang!

Xu Promise was surprised, and felt that this result was expected.

Zhu Shang has really entered Beijing!

No, there is also a gate.

Only when you enter the city gate can you really enter the capital.

Promise to stop the coachman, lift the curtain and jump down.

Hu Ling also drove over and turned over.

"Long time no see. ”

"Long time no see. ”

The two patted each other on the shoulder, and everything was silent.

As soon as Hu Ling was about to say something to Xu Promise, he heard Zhu Shang say in the back: "Xu Liuniang, I heard that you participated in the tea man competition and got a good ranking?"

"Naturally," he promised. ”

The tea man competition she participated in a few days ago, and it is reasonable for Zhu Shang to know it now.

Xu promised to say a few words to Zhu Shang about the tea man competition, and then invited Hu Ling to get into the carriage and asked her about Zhu Shang.

"How did he promise you?"

promised to know that Zhu Shang and Guanqian had a fiancée, and he didn't want his fiancée to be pregnant before marriage, and the child in his womb was not his. Although he was distressed about this, he was unwilling to give up the woman he loved, and he was still willing to marry her, and he didn't want the woman to propose to the Zhu family to dissolve the marriage contract, and soon married someone else.

Then, after a series of events, he made a vow not to enter Beijing again in this life.

Hu Ling also knows these things.

However, it does not prevent her from liking Zhu Shang.

Hu Ling said with a smile: "I said at the time that if he didn't follow me into Beijing, then my name would be written backwards in this life." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the promise triumphantly.

Xu Promise made a look of disgust and asked, "That's it?"

"Yes, that's it. ”

"Don't tell me, he feels sorry for your little lady and has to write her name backwards for the rest of her life. Xu Promise deeply believed that Zhu Shang's scheming people would not agree to enter Beijing for this reason.

The promise was full of distrust in his tone, Zhu Shang heard it outside the car, frowned, and then chuckled: "Xu Liuniang, Zhu is indeed such a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade." ”

Xu Nuo pulled the curtain, endured it for a long time before he didn't say the word narcissism, but turned his head and asked Hu Ling: "Sanniang, do you really want to like such a person?"

Hu Ling nodded seriously, rarely having a little girlish shyness, and said, "Yes." ”

Xu promised that he didn't know what had happened in the past month or so, but he knew that Hu Ling must have really moved Zhu Shang in some way, otherwise he would not have easily agreed to enter Beijing for such a reason.

glanced out again, and just saw Zhu Shang looking into the car.

He looked at Hu Ling's eyes seriously and pityingly.

Realizing that Xu Promise was looking at him, he immediately narrowed his eyes and said to Xu Promise: "I wonder if the Sixth Lady is interested in taking over a few of my businesses for me?"

Small theater

Promise: Business?

Zhu Shang: Well, remember that you can count

Promise: As long as you know how to count, can you take over your current business?

Zhu Shang: Yes

Promise: Apparently underestimated my IQ

Zhu Shang: Make friends with Hu Ling, and my IQ will not be too high (to be continued......)
