Because they went back from the south of the city and turned around on the main road near the city gate, this time Ruji and Chen Hao did not take the stairs in the backyard, but entered Pu Wei Ji from the lobby.

As soon as they entered the door, Ru Xi and Chen Hao noticed the two guests at the table in the middle of the lobby at the same time.

The green shirt is like bamboo, the green skirt is like jade, and it is actually the couple surnamed Qin again?

Ru Ji and Chen Hao couldn't help but pause and glance at each other, and the couple obviously saw them as well.

At this time, Chen Run and Cai Wan behind the counter greeted him: "Girl, uncle." You're back. ”

Ru Xi and Chen Hao were too late to cover up at this time, so they simply followed Chen Run to the counter and asked, as if unintentionally, "Is the store okay today?" ”

Although Chen Run was clever and capable, he couldn't expect that Ru Xi and Chen Hao met someone at the bun shop in the south of the city, so he just pointed to the account book and replied: "Girl, business has been good in April. Because of the hot weather, the ice and sweet and sour fruit teas you saved earlier are selling very well. It's just that it rained the day before yesterday and there were fewer guests, and today is better than usual," he took the ledger and pointed to a few numbers for Ruji, "Look." ”

Ru Xi flipped through it casually, but she was actually as absent-minded as Chen Hao: "Well, well done." ”

Chen Hao has been standing sideways beside Ruxi, trying not to look at Qin Xizhi and his wife head-on.

Ru Ji asked Chen Run and Cai Wan to go to work first, and she pretended to continue to look down at the account book, and at the same time asked Chen Hao in a low voice: "Do you want to go over and say hello?" ”

Chen Hao pondered for a moment: "Since they have also seen us, it is meaningless to pretend that they don't know." I'll go with you. ”

Ru Xi nodded, took a sip of water, adjusted her breathing again, and went over with Chen Hao to greet the couple.

"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, two of you are good." As the owner of Pu Weiji, Ru Ji took the initiative to speak, "We are really destined today." ”

When the couple saw that Ruji came over to greet her, Mrs. Qin smiled: "The girl is the owner of this teahouse?" That's really fateful. ”

"Yes." Ru Ji responded with a smile, looked at the tea cup and dinner plate in front of the two of them, and put on a professional customer service attitude, "You two drink our Pu Wei Ji's new Xia Lu fruit tea, do you still think it is smooth?" ”

Mrs. Qin bowed slightly: "It's quite refreshing." ”

Ru Ji beckoned to Cai Wan to send another piece of cold fruit: "Since I have a fate with you, I will send you another clear fruit." Are you two from the capital? ”

The corners of Mrs. Qin's lips raised slightly: "It's okay to say yes, it's okay to say no." ”

Although she felt that the smile in the other party's eyes seemed to have seen through her own temptation, Ru Xi still insisted on the hospitality that she should have as the proprietress of the teahouse: "We Pu Wei Ji has just opened, and now we are ready to open a new business. ”

"Yes." Mrs. Qin nodded, and had no intention of saying anything more.

Basically, Ruji's cliché can be regarded as invalid across the board, and Chen Hao simply stepped forward again: "Brother Qin, I didn't have a chance to talk to you just now, but I don't want to have the fate of goodbye." I would like to take the liberty of the following, can you ask a word about your two teachers? ”

The couple looked at each other, or Mrs. Qin answered, but asked Chen Hao rhetorically: "Little Brother Chen is a disciple of Mount Tai?" I don't know which one it is, how many generations? Have you ever learned swords from Qi Yu Sanren? ”

Chen Hao was slightly shocked when he heard this, his biggest suspicion about the couple before was that they had a very special temperament. There is not only the breath of martial arts masters, but also the noble style of some wealthy families, but there are no wang families surnamed Qin in Beijing, and there are almost no masters surnamed Qin on the rivers and lakes. But when this Mrs. Qin said a few words, she was obviously a real old Jianghu.

The Taishan sect is divided into five branches, also known as the five gates, which everyone knows who practices martial arts. But in addition to the five gates, there is another female master to teach swordsmanship, and among the five sects, select talented disciples to teach, although this is not a top secret, but it is not known to everyone, it should be said that this is only known to people who know a lot about the Taishan faction. Mrs. Qin seems to be asking a simple question, but in fact, she has to explore the details of her own teacher in one sentence.

"I have mediocre qualifications, and I have never won the blue eyes of Aunt Qiyu." Chen Hao pondered and replied, "Madame can also have a relationship with the Taishan faction?" ”

Mrs. Qin looked at Chen Hao again: "You have practiced martial arts in the Taishan Sect for less than five years?" If not, how could the Qiyu people choose you? After a pause, he smiled again, "I don't have a relationship with your Taishan faction, but I've seen you take office twice as the head of the Gao family." Do you call him Uncle or Uncle? ”

The implication is that there are also differences in generations, Chen Hao is more vigilant in his heart, and he is also more cautious in politeness: "The head of the high family is the uncle below." Since Mrs. and Uncle Gao are the same generation, then they have to be called seniors. I wonder if you two visited Tai'an last month? ”

Qin Xizhi interjected: "Little Brother Chen is careful, but this time he is in the wrong direction. ”

Mrs. Qin didn't wait for Chen Hao to say more, so she turned to Ruji: "The girl and Little Brother Chen are married?" ”

Ru Ji's face turned red, knowing that Chen Run and Cai Wan's sentence of "girl and uncle" just now made people hear it clearly, but there was nothing to lie about, so she nodded: "Yes." ”

Mrs. Qin smiled, picked a topaz bead tassel from her waist and handed it to Ruji: "Since Little Brother Chen is called a senior, this will add makeup to congratulate you." ”

Ru Ji took it with both hands, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao was also shocked in his heart, but the two sides spoke politely, and the other party put on an elder posture, it was not appropriate not to accept this congratulatory gift, and at the same time, he could know that he couldn't ask anything anymore. So Xiang Ruji gave a look, and thanked him: "Thank you seniors." Don't bother the two of you, use it slowly. ”

Back in the upstairs room, Ru Xi took the topaz bead and looked at it a few times, still a little worried: "Will they be related to the case you investigated earlier?" ”

Chen Hao pondered for a long time before shaking his head: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, Master Gao is very upright, if that Mrs. Qin really has dealings with Uncle Gao, then it must not be a Jiangyang thief." ”

"Really?" Ru Xi put down the warm topaz bead casually, and stepped forward to take the initiative to hug Chen Hao, "Don't have any more accidents, our big day is coming." ”

Chen Hao patted her on the back lightly, and said gently: "Well, don't be afraid, there will be no more trouble." The hand holding her tightened, and at the same time, the whimsical speculation in his heart was suppressed, the couple who claimed to be surnamed Qin, could it be......

On April 24, there are only three days left before the wedding date of Ruxi and Chen Hao, and Ruxi's dowry is about to enter the final counting, making a book, and packing, and it is also the time for the final makeup. According to the words that Chi called Shuangying before, the expenses for the wedding ceremony in the last period of time were indeed from the account expenses of the Pu family, and Pu Yu and Chi came over in person and sent a pair of dragon and phoenix auspicious red jade bottles to Ru Ji to add makeup.

Ru Ji politely accepted it, and also heard the news that Lu Mao and Ruyan seemed to be getting better, thinking that the Chi family was looking forward to easing the relationship, if Ru Ji, the prospective daughter-in-law of General Shi Ben, could give more support to Ruyan and her mother's family, so that even if there was no large amount of dowry, maybe Mrs. Lu could get married.

Ruji just didn't say anything about it. Whether Lu Mao can achieve good things with Ruyan is also the fate of the two of them in the end. In the past, Ruji might have cared a little about the impact of this marriage on Shuang'e's fate, but now that Shuang'e's way of self-help has vaguely pointed to her own backyard, it can only be said that everyone depends on their destiny.

As for the other relatives, those distant relatives of the Pu family now see that the eldest girl has a good future, and the icing on the cake is naturally a lot. On the other hand, some official ladies who had never met actually came to the door, and the most noble of them was Ming Luying's mother, Lord Shaohua, who also came over to take a look with her young daughter Ming Lurui, leaving a pair of bracelets. Although it was only half an hour from entering the door to saying goodbye, the Pu family was still quite prosperous and flattered.

After the lord of Shaohua, the Xie family of the Yongning Hou Mansion, the Nan family of the Yongchang Hou Mansion, the Lou family of the British Mansion, and the Murong family of the Yuguo Mansion, these top wealthy families also have their fourth wives, daughters-in-law and other female dependents who came over to respond to the scene. Ru Xi also understood in his heart that this was General Shi Ben preparing for the future entry of Su Sanniang, so he would launch such a high-profile campaign of three relatives and six relatives, and comrades to add luster to his marriage.

After two days of busy work, it was not until the evening of April 25 that Ruxi's dowry was sealed and registered, and Chaolu took Cai Wan and Xia Yin to calculate it three times. In addition to the 10,000 taels of Yanwei dowry that he got back completely, there were many unexpected gifts of makeup, and finally he got a full 18,000 taels. When the account book was sent to the main room to go through the motions, although the Chi family, Geng family and others had a rough score in their hearts, but looking at the thick account book and the total number calculated in the end, their faces still changed together, and they vividly demonstrated what it means to be "envious, jealous and hateful".

18,000 taels, this is already a configuration only for the concubines of the prince's family in Beijing to go out of the cabinet, which is simply a sky-high price for a five-grade civil official family like Pu Luo, almost the same as the total family property except for the ancestral sacrifice field.

The four-foot-long and three-foot-wide mahogany boxes were encapsulated one by one, and a full sixty-four were lifted. The big red satin with the big red gold words is stacked in the warehouse wing of the moon dew residence, and the eyes are full of joy.

No matter how much the Chi family gritted his teeth in his heart, he still had to send the account book back to Yueluju with a smile, and even squeezed out a few tears: "Big girl, after you leave the pavilion, you will be someone else's person, you must cherish it." If there is anything, just go back to your parents' house, Ruyan Rushu is your own sister, and the family always has to help each other. ”

Ru Ji smiled: "Mrs. also take care, the second girl and the third girl are just afraid that they will not worry." ”
