Chapter 98: The City

Once born and twice matured, she had prepared a military salary banquet before, and when she was in charge of this auction banquet again, Ah Yao was no longer as confused as she was at the beginning. Decorating the venue, writing invitations, preparing banquets, and controlling various processes, she is quite familiar with it.

Qingcheng is rich, as the largest restaurant in the city, the decoration of Yunlai Building is extremely luxurious. This will remove the tables and chairs in the lobby on the first floor, and set up a high platform directly opposite the door, and a water bench below it for ordinary guests to sit. The private room on the second floor is not inconvenient at all, only a nameplate is placed on the table, and the major businessmen with strong capital live here, and the Hu family occupies the one facing the high platform, the window facing south, and the most open line of sight. As for the highest room on the third floor, of course, it belongs to the little marquis.

Out of her own selfishness, she deliberately rearranged the third floor.

I haven't known each other for a long time, but she has some understanding of Brother Jing's temperament. He likes to be simple and atmospheric, he always wears clothes only in dark colors, and there are never superfluous accessories on his body, even in the guest house where he lives in the Hu family, he also abandons the complicated color bed tent cushions and chooses low-key fabrics with dark flowers of the same color.

In order to show luxury, Yunlailou has to put good things on the third floor without money. The dazzling variety of colors of pottery usually looks complicated but not chaotic, but this will be a little inappropriate. Because she was busy inspecting the shop and couldn't spare time, she specially sent a personal maid Qingshuang to supervise, and she also carefully instructed her how to decorate it when washing up at night.

Ah Yao was born rich and noble, grew up in the pile of gold and jade since she was a child, and she went to the capital in her previous life, and saw many noble girls on the tour, and she had a good taste when the two were combined.

Qingshuang was wary of the little marquis, but she listened to her own girl, and in her heart she also felt that she was worthy of grand hospitality as the little marquis, and she was already serious about her work, and she was even more strict with what her own girl said. Although Ayao did not go to the scene in person, some of her ideas were also completed.

The entire third floor has changed from the dazzling style of the past to become quiet and elegant. Many of the furnishings look like nothing at first glance, but the atmosphere and simple style make people more and more tasteful.

A-Yao, who had been looking at the shop for most of the day outside, went to Yunlai Building at dusk to check and fill in the gaps for the last time, and saw the third floor, which was diametrically opposed to usual, and was very satisfied.

"In this way, Brother Jing should be very comfortable tomorrow, right?"

She still remembered what Master Kukai said on the day the soup was delivered, although the little marquis was from a noble background, he was a person who was loved by no one since he was a child, and he didn't even have a person to pour hot soup after returning home.

At that time, she felt that Brother Jing was pitiful to the extreme, but later she also figured it out, Guiwei was a maid and a maid next to Master Hou, and the servants were not a hundred but eighty, so he naturally didn't need to worry about such trivial matters. But it is precisely because his status is too high that everyone wants to give him something, and he is entangled in many interests, and he doesn't even have anyone to rest assured.

This is somewhat similar to her in her previous life, and everyone around her is aiming at the Hu family's money.

The height is unbearable, and it is the most terrible loneliness.

Under the sympathy of the same disease, she always couldn't help but want to be better to Brother Jing.

"This ink ......"

Walking to the desk, she picked up the piece of ink by the inkstone, leaned to the tip of her nose and sniffed, faintly smelling a foul smell.

"The ink was originally placed here by Yunlailou."

Ah Yao shook her head and nodded, "This ink is a little rough, when I go back to the house, take a small piece of the ink in my room and bring it over tomorrow morning." ”

After instructing Qingshuang, she looked around the layout of the lower room again, and Qingshuang helped her turn around and leave. After she left, a dark corner of her clothes flashed from behind the curtain. If Ah Yao turned back at this moment, she would be surprised, how could Brother Jing, who was walking in the opposite direction when they were separated, appear here.

Lu Jingyuan didn't understand what was wrong with him.

Since the night visit to the boudoir to make the words clear, the girl seems to be a lot more cheerful, and her already pleasing face will be smiling all day long, and the joy makes people feel comfortable to look at, and he can't help but keep his eyes on her. Obviously, there are still a lot of things going on in the past few days, but he insisted on making all the arrangements in the middle of the night, and then everyone appeared in front of her early in the morning, casually finding a reason to "explore the Shen family", and accompanied her through the streets and alleys of Qingcheng.

If there is still the Shen family in charge of this matter in front of her, when she walks the streets and alleys, she can't help but order her subordinates to buy her novel gadgets and food on the street. Seeing her eating happily, my heart also relaxed, and I unconsciously slowed down, admiring her little hamster-like eating.

It's obviously boring, but he thinks it's very interesting, and he doesn't think it's enough to watch it once.

Lose your marbles!

Finally, after inspecting the Shen family's property, he found an excuse to leave without looking back. Knowing that the girl had specially arranged the third floor for him, he had a faint expectation in his heart, and after estimating that she was almost leaving, he quietly came in from behind, and happened to hear the words of changing Huimo.

When she was gone, he stepped out from behind the curtain and surveyed the room. He has always been vigilant and will not reveal too much of his preferences, this time he has lived in the Hu family for a long time, and he has unconsciously revealed more points, and the girl has noticed them all.

"You like this so much?"

The muttering tone was no longer proud, but showed a hint of happiness and joy. The hesitation before coming has long been eliminated, he Lu Jingyuan likes a girl, so why hide it.

At the same time, the first thing Ah Yao did when she returned to the Hu family was to cut off a small corner of her usual good Hui ink, and after thinking about it, she took out a uniform thickness from the row of good wolf pens on the pen holder, and put it in a brocade box and put it on the side of the makeup.

When she changed her clothes and had dinner, she talked to Hu Jiuling about the shop she liked.

"Although the location of this shop is a little out of the way, and the façade is a little old, it is surrounded by small items such as rouge and gouache handkerchiefs, and most of the people who go there are girls who love to dress up. And the daughter asked Su's father and other guys in the dyeing workshop, and they all said that although the shop was not eye-catching, it earned a lot of revenue every year, and there were many old customers over the years. ”

When he first heard that the location was on the façade, Hu Jiuling subconsciously frowned. His family Ayao was doing business for the first time, how could he be so wronged by himself. But after listening to it, he vaguely remembered.

"Is it the shop in the west of the city that specializes in handkerchiefs, socks and other small items?"

"Yes, that's it."

Hu Jiuling looked at Ah Yao with a new look, his daughter, who only felt painful before, but now this shrewdness is like him.

"Since A-Yao likes it, then this one."

Seeing the results, the Song family, who had been quietly listening to the discussion between the father and daughter, personally added soup to them, "Seeing that you are patronizing and talking, the soup is cold." ”

Taking the soup from Song's hand, after thinking about it, Ah Yao sandwiched a piece of easy-to-eat food to her. Seeing the chopsticks stretched out from the bowl in front of him, Song's heart was warm, and he turned around and gave Ah Yao a piece. There are one and two, with this beginning, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually warmed up, and the mother and daughter both ate half a bowl of rice.

Since Shen Jinshan invited Lang Zhong, the relationship between mother and daughter can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds in the past three days. Even if she couldn't say anything on the surface, the increasingly intimate relationship of the family still affected Ah Yao, and she was in a good mood until she fell asleep. Just before going to bed, she was dressing up, and when she saw the brocade box containing wolf hair and emblem ink on the table, she suddenly remembered Brother Jing. After washing, I lay in the Babu bed, and saw the pair of jade rings tied to the golden hook at the head of the bed, and the thoughts that had gradually faded began to thicken.

"With such a careful arrangement, I don't know if Brother Jing can feel it."

With this doubt, she tossed and turned for a while, until the drums sounded, and then fell asleep. Because she slept late, she woke up a little lacking in energy on the second day, let Qingshuang wait to freshen up, please be safe, get into the carriage after breakfast, leaning on Daddy's shoulder, she couldn't help nodding, and walked to the door of Yunlai Building, looking a little confused.

This kind of confusion woke up the moment I got out of the carriage.

The auction was not a military salary banquet in front of it, the latter only required the arrival of merchants with strong assets in the city, and this auction, many wealthy people also came. Early in the morning, the flow of people in front of Yunlailou was already bustling. And in this hustle and bustle, she still saw Brother Jing dressed in Xuanyi at a glance.

He walked slowly from inside the door, his tall posture, handsome facial features and natural noble temperament, it was difficult for people to ignore it.

As she looked over, he saw her, and he quickened his pace as he looked at each other.

"Master Hu."

"Participate in Master Hou." Hu Jiuling gave up.

"Master Hu doesn't have to be polite," after saying it briefly, he looked at Ah Yao, and his tone was full of unshakability, "Today you are responsible for the overall situation, there are many people on the second floor, and some things are inevitably inconvenient, so you will go to the third floor later." ”

3rd Floor ...... That's not Brother Jing's box.

She was still thinking about it before she fell asleep last night, but she didn't expect Brother Jing to personally invite her up early in the morning. No matter what the reason, in short, it will be difficult for A-Yao to hide her excitement, and her apricot eyes are shining.

Unlike her, Hu Jiuling is like a great enemy. But he had already promised that Ah Yao would be in charge of the auction banquet, which would be reasonable for the little marquis, and he had no reason to refute it.

"This ...... I'm afraid that the little girl will disturb Master Hou. ”

"No problem." Lu Jingyuan shook his head and said briefly but undoubtedly.

Xiao Hou Ye and the Hu family are the focus of attention, and the movements here have naturally attracted a lot of attention. Ordinary people don't think there is anything yet, but those businessmen who are gearing up and intend to participate in today's competition have changed their faces.

I knew that the little marquis was close to the Hu family, but I didn't expect it to be close to this journey. arrived one step earlier and went out to greet each other in person, not to mention, he also shared his top wing room with the Hu family girl. With such intimacy, they still have a chance at today's auction? Do they dare to grab what the Hu family likes?

No matter what these businessmen thought, Ah Yao followed Lu Jingyuan all the way to the third floor. On the high platform on the first floor, the dancing girl who changed into a gauze skirt danced. At the beginning of the day, the sound of drums stopped, and the master of ceremonies specially invited from the state city came to the stage, and the loud and non-harsh official words came, and the auction officially began.
