Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Road Meets the House

Early in the morning, Miao Zhi put on the new clothes that she just got back from the ready-to-wear store yesterday, which is still the picture she drew herself, the style is generous and decent, the neckline is a shallow and short round neck design, and the buckle is not on the waist side but changed to the chest, with a light goose yellow in the tender green, and her skin is like a peach blossom when she wears a more flattering one.

"Miss, it's so good-looking, no wonder the boss of the ready-to-wear store wants to buy your picture." Ning Er admired as she flattened the folds of her skirt.

Xiang Yan opened the curtain and entered, and when she saw Miao Zhi's dress, she also liked it tightly. "Miss, why don't we open a ready-to-wear shop too?"

Miao Zhi turned around and smiled lightly, "I'm waiting for a few months, and I'm not going to open any more shops, isn't it good to buy shares!" She blinked, full of energy.

The cattle boss of the garment shop has asked to buy her drawings several times, and it seems that there are still market prospects. She also planned it, it was really too hard to open a store by herself, and the "Linglong Fang" alone had already made her busy. So this time she is going to buy shares, that is, she only makes a picture, and she doesn't care about anything else, just waiting to get dividends, saving time and effort, and making a lot of money.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile again. "Catch up with Ming'er, I'm drawing something better, and I'll make a set for you and Xiang Yan." She pinched Ning'er's tender little face again, and the feel was really good.

Last night it was drizzling all night, and the weather was getting cooler day by day. The bluestone pavement is littered with golden fallen leaves, and the puddles are as bright as mirrors, and they are very dazzling. I didn't take the carriage today, Steward Jia prepared a small sedan chair for her for the first time, and Miao Zhi wanted to vomit when she saw it.

The sturdy family carried the sedan chair one after the other, with steady steps, Miao Zhi sat in it and didn't feel the bump at all, but was very comfortable.

It's been a long time since I've eaten the pear paste of "Mingyue Building", and she has missed even the osmanthus sesame cake for several days. No matter what time it is, it still can't change the fact that she is a **naked foodie.

Entering the Mingyue Building, the shopkeeper with a smile on his face greeted him. This is their big customer, the "Linglong Fang" opened more than two months ago, and they ordered 500 boxes of walnut crisp at once.

Carrying the packed snacks and turning around to leave, she heard someone behind her calling her, and before Miao Zhi could turn around, her cuffs were pulled.

When I looked closely, it turned out that Liang Zhujin was also buying pastries in this shop with two maids. She was still wearing a plum blossom dress, dotted with flowers blooming all over her clothes, and even the veil, although it was not the last time she saw it, but the silk was undoubtedly embroidered with plum blossoms.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, just now I thought I recognized the wrong person, and when I saw my sister's side face, I dared to shout." Her voice is sweet and her smile is full.

Miao Zhi asked Ning'er to take the sedan chair back to the house, and she took Xiang Yan and Liang Zhujin to go shopping and chat.

The sky was high and the clouds were light, mixed with gusts of cool breeze, and there were all kinds of fallen leaves everywhere, and the two of them just came out of the jewelry store and bumped into a team of soldiers and horses.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." The soldiers who opened the road in front shouted, and everyone on the street hurriedly stood on both sides and gave way to the avenue, for fear that these fierce-faced military masters would wave the long knives in their hands on themselves.

Miao Zhi looked puzzled, how many times had she seen these squads of soldiers and horses? Three or four times? She couldn't remember it herself, so she could only stretch her neck a little and look through the cracks in the swarthy human head.

"Hey, you know what, it's Lord Ranara's family today." A small common man in the crowd pointed at the group of centaurs and opened his mouth.

"Ah, Lord Luo, isn't it the brother-in-law of the Ministry of Rites? He walks sideways every day in our new city, how can he say that he will be copied if he is copied? The person who answered was full of doubts. The crowd standing together also pricked up their ears to hear what to say next.

"Yes, yes, it's Lord Wu's brother-in-law, who said that he suddenly died in the flower building a few days ago, and when he died, he was so miserable that his heart was taken away." The more the man spoke, the more outrageous it became, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Isn't it?" There was a sigh in the crowd.

"Why not, a friend of mine happened to be in Hualou that day, and he saw it with his own eyes."

"Even if he died in Hualou inexplicably, how could he let the court raid his house today?" People use their imagination to the maximum and carry out the gossip to the end.

"You don't know this," the man lowered his voice, "I heard that Lord Wu knew that his brother-in-law died in vain, and he was angry at the moment, and he was stunned to go from the government to the criminal department, saying that he had alarmed the emperor, and asked to find out and bring the murderer to justice." Who would have thought that after such an investigation, the murderer was not caught, and the family found out all kinds of immoral things such as corruption and bribery."

The man spoke very quickly and spittle, as if he had become a storyteller in a teahouse, and everyone listening around him was immersed in this story of ups and downs, and from time to time let out bursts of surprise and exclamation.

"Then he also deserves it, usually Naluo Dog Officer has his brother-in-law's support, and he does a lot of things that hurt heaven and reason, I don't know how many girls from ordinary people's families have made him ruined, and it is even more common to eat for nothing."

"This is true, and I don't know which hero gave us people this bad breath."

"Oops, a little bit, a little bit."

"Haha, this Luo Daren is a pervert, and it's worth dying in a place like Hualou, and it really responds to that sentence: Peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic!"

"Haha, yes, yes!" Everyone agreed, mixed with bursts of laughter.

"Now I'm afraid that Lord Wu will also be implicated, I heard that because of this incident, he hasn't been out for a long time, and he hides at home all day long, so I'm afraid that even his black gauze hat will be taken off!"

The more people talked, the more mysterious it became, and Miao Zhi stood behind, covering her mouth and laughing secretly, when did she become so gossipy, and she actually listened to the gossip of the little people.

Liang Zhujin beside him frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. Miao Zhi called her twice in a row, but she didn't hear it, and then it was the little maid behind her who pulled her sleeve to come back to her senses.

"Sister, it's not early, I should go back, sister will invite you to tea another day, let's have a good chat!" Liang Zhujin said with a smile on his face, as if someone else had lost his mind just now.

Of course, Miao Zhi was not easy to refuse, so she nodded and smiled. The two said goodbye, and each led the maid behind them towards the mansion.

It was still a sunny day just now, and now it seems to change like the child's face, without any warning, and a few thick black clouds floated from nowhere, covering most of the sky, and for a time the wind was blowing, and the thunder in the clouds shook the sky and rolled in.

The two quickened their pace. Miao Zhi covered her face with a handkerchief, and muttered: "This day, I'm afraid it's going to change!" ”
