Chapter Eighty-Nine: Before a Treat
Fan Sicheng's dark eyes stared at Jiang Li's face, with a focused, nervous, and injured expression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The wrist was grasped very tightly by him, Jiang Li twitched a few times, his hand did not relax, she looked up angrily, and saw her own shadow in his eyes, the distance was so close, his hand was getting tighter and tighter, she could hear his powerful heartbeat, and the unique mature manly atmosphere that she had not noticed before.
I used to think that he was quiet and gentle, but at the moment his actions are clearly a little domineering. His voice was low: "I can guess who you went to see today." His eyes were fixed on her face, and the wounds under her eyes were even greater.
Jiang Li was inexplicably a little flustered, lowered his head and didn't look at his eyes, and he didn't have enough confidence to be angry when he opened his mouth: "You also have to care who I associate with?" What kind of expression do you have, as if I've done something sorry for you? ”
"You forgot we were engaged." Fan Sicheng's tone was calm. "Moreover, I also know that you used to be very close to the person surnamed Xiao."
Jiang Li suddenly smiled and walked closer? Looking up at Fan Sicheng: "If the eighth prince can send you the Water Purification Pearl, then he must tell you everything." That's what he said? He said that I was very close to the surname Xiao? I'd like to hear what he says. ”
Jiang Li's expression was calm. Three years ago, Xiao Wu accompanied her to Xiangguo Temple to meet the Eighth Prince, and now that things have changed, she feels that this is no secret.
Seeing Jiang Li's calm expression, Fan Sicheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "The eighth prince didn't say anything, I investigated the fact that you had dealings with Xiao Yu before." ”
"I used to help Qin Yuanhua investigate the theft of the Qin Mansion, and I found out very early that you had a relationship with him. For example, you met in Yanziji, and the fire in Luofengpo. I know a lot about you, at least, I know more than Qin Yuanhua. ”
Fan Sicheng's tone relaxed, and his hand loosened. Jiang Li hurriedly withdrew his hand, but was uneasy because of his words: He knows a lot? Does he know that the Qin Mansion lost the batch of goods in his hands?
Thinking about it, she began to wonder if he had another purpose in betrothing to her.
"Then you know why you have to propose marriage."
"I said I liked whatever you become." The corners of his mouth were filled with tenderness, and Fan Sicheng's expression was very serious.
"But I want to tell you that your childhood sweetheart, Sister Jiang Li, is dead. If you look at me now, my temperament, personality, thoughts, and all my behaviors can no longer be what you imagined. So, even if you really don't have any other purpose in betrothed, it's still not appropriate. Jiang Li said.
"What else do I do?" Fan Sicheng looked very hurt,
Laughing: "I know that there are many people who come to propose marriage, maybe some people come for the dowry in your hand, but I really only care about you, if you want, it doesn't matter if you don't want those dowries." You forget, my mother and your mother came from Jiangnan together, and your mother's family is also a businessman, so our family is not short of your dowry, as long as you come. ”
He clearly pointed to other purposes, and he also pulled the dowry. But it seems that he really doesn't know that the goods are in his hands. Jiang Li's hanging heart was put down.
After pondering for a moment, one hand was caught by Fan Sicheng again. The palm of his hand was cold, and there was a piece of crystal clear white jade in his palm.
"This is your engagement gift, not that day. Accept this piece of jade, and you will be a member of my Fan family. Fan Sicheng couldn't help but clench Jiang Li's hand, "I won't give you a chance to refuse!" ”
As he spoke, he took her hand and walked to the side of the carriage, "Let's go, I'll take you home." Also, you said that you would treat you in Jinmei Villa for two days, and if Jiang An and I came to participate, it would count, so I would wait. ”
It wasn't until he got into the carriage that Fan Sicheng's hand was released. As soon as the curtain was lowered, Jiang Li was in a daze at the white jade in his hand. The carriage moved.
As soon as Xiao Wu mentioned the matter of opening the workshop, Jiang Li was in full swing preparing the venue when he came back. She told Xiao Wu that she wanted to hold a ceremony in Jinmei Pavilion on the day the workshop opened, and Xiao Wu fully agreed with this proposal.
In addition, Xiao Wu also wanted to take advantage of this day to set up a partnership with Jiang Li to open a workshop, so he started to cooperate with the second workshop.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Wu took on the identity of Nanchen Huangshang and planned to bring his brothers to appear in public. This is also the real reason why he wants Jiang Li to treat him in Jinmei Villa.
The house in Beijing is expensive, and it is not easy to find a large place to open a workshop.
The matter of finding a venue, Jiang Li handed it over to another housekeeper surnamed Yun in the mansion to do.
Steward Yun is an old servant in the house, in charge of the procurement of flowers and trees in a garden, and he has a lot of time to walk outside. Jiang Ju's companion reading boy was introduced by him, and it is said that he is still his relative.
Steward Yun often came to see Zhimo after Jiang Ju got out of school, and was met a few times by Jiang Li outside Jingfang Hall, so he recognized it.
Jiang Li casually said that he wanted to rent a space in Beijing to open a workshop, but he couldn't find a suitable venue, so he asked the cloud housekeeper to help him look for it. Steward Yun agreed very well, and Jiang Li didn't take it seriously.
She asked Ge shopkeeper to look for it outside, and at the same time, she made statistics on the new goods shipped from Nan Chen, picked out some novel colors from the silk and satin, including the newly arrived cloud brocade, and made a classification design one by one, so that Ge shopkeeper could find someone to make new clothes, ready to be displayed on the stage in Jinmei Biyuan on the day of the opening of the workshop.
Only two or three days later, Butler Yun came to find a vacant brewery on the edge of the city. The boss died and no one operated, and the widowed proprietress was willing to sell the venue.
Jiang Li went to see it and was quite satisfied. While people repaired the site according to the requirements of the textile workshop, they asked people to take the famous cards obtained from the Qianqiu Workshop to ask for looms and weavers.
Those people Xiao Yu had already said hello, and ten days later, dozens of looms and dozens of skilled weavers were transported to the capital, Jiang Li simply asked his grandmother to ask for a cloud housekeeper, so that he could help deal with the daily affairs in the workshop and settle the new weavers.
Prepare to stop, choose an auspicious day, publicize all over the city a few days in advance, and ask someone to assign invitation stickers to some familiar dignitaries, and hold a grand commencement celebration ceremony in Jinmei Villa the day before the start of construction.
Sixi since the opening of Jinmei Villa, was arranged by Jiang Li to be responsible for daily inspections, one person is not enough, and recruited a number of better guards, since the opening of Jinmei Villa, there has never been a safety accident, and no guests have been injured in personal accidents.
Listening to Jin Ju come back and say that Sixi has been in the garden for a long time, and his popularity is good, and he mixes quite well. The two cousins in charge of the garden also had a good evaluation of Sixi.
A few days before the ceremony, Jiang Li first discussed the details with Jiang Rui and Jiang Hao's two cousins, and the two cousins made arrangements in advance, everything was ready, and a grand banquet was about to appear. (To be continued.) )
