After changing his clothes, Xie Ning did not forget to loosen the man-style bun combed on his head and change his hairstyle again. Although she can comb her hair, she is not as skilled as Mingshuang, Xiaoyue and others, and she can't make any complicated and delicate hairstyles, so she can only imitate their appearance and loosely pull herself up.

There was no mirror in the inner room, and Xie Ning himself couldn't see what she looked like now, but she was wearing a scarlet dress, and she didn't know how much better. Out of sight and out of mind, Xie Ning straightened his hair and hem of his clothes by feeling, then pushed the door and walked out.

Walking outside, Xie Ning saw the figure of Uncle Pei waiting with his hands, so he took the initiative to call out: "Uncle Pei, I've changed, let's go." ”

When Pei Xinghai heard this, he immediately turned around and was about to say something, but after seeing Xie Ning, he instantly froze, his lips remained open and closed, his pupils gradually widened, and a bright color flashed in his eyes.

Being stared at by him so fixedly, Xie Ning was confused, and his voice called out in confusion: "Uncle Pei? ”

"Uh......" Pei Xinghai came back to his senses, but the light in his eyes was still not reduced by half, and after a while, he took his eyes off Xie Ning, shook his head and smiled, and let out a sigh, "It's really a female college eighteen." Dressed up like this, if you hadn't stayed here all the time, Uncle Pei would have been afraid that it would be really difficult to recognize you as Miss Xie. ”

In the past, in Shudi, for the convenience of movement, Xie Ning rarely wore women's clothes on weekdays. Since she entered Beijing, Uncle Pei has only seen her a handful of times, and most of them are when she was wearing men's clothes. But even if she wore this vermilion color, she also changed a little.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Uncle Pei can come to this conclusion, Xie Ning did not take this matter to heart, and of course he will not think that he is really as exaggerated as he praised in his words.

Xie Ning blinked, and naturally diverted the topic: "Uncle Pei, if you praise again, I will be embarrassed." Let's go shopping in the shop. ”

"Okay," Pei Xinghai nodded, and according to what she said, he took her out of the restaurant and went straight to the tea shop.

The tea shop is very narrow, and the aisle can only accommodate one person to turn around. Xie Ning and Pei Xinghai came in for a long time, and only then came out from behind a white-haired old man who heard the movement in the shop and came out to investigate.

Pei Xinghai didn't say anything, just took out the Xie family's seal, showed it to the old man, and introduced Xie Ning's identity to him.

This old man is old, and although he speaks well, his ears are not very good. Xie Ning and Pei Xinghai said a few words to him at the top of their throats, and he understood Xie Ning's intention to come here, took out the account book for the first half of the year and stuffed it to Xie Ning and the others, and insisted on filling them with a few boxes of tea.

Xie Ning and Pei Xinghai worked hard and worked together to persuade each other to take back these tea leaves. For tea, Xie Ning can't tell what is good or bad, and he can't drink what is good or bad. In the eyes of people like her, who don't know how to appreciate it, tea is just something used to quench their thirst.

Leaving the tea shop, they did not return to the carriage, but turned a street and walked a few steps forward to the Silk Cottage, which was also in Jiawenfang.

In the same square, the location of this silk village is much better than the tea shop, and the store is also atmospheric and tidy, Xie Ning looked at the plaque on the door, and said silently: Xie Ji Silk Village.

If I remember correctly, although this silk village was arranged by the Hou Mansion to marry her mother, the initial name was 'Gao Ji Silk Village', and after her mother got married, she changed the name, so as not to let their family not be in Beijing, but some people mistakenly thought that their family intended to be stained and take advantage of the power of the Hou Mansion.

For her mother's decision back then, Xie Ning originally didn't know why, but since she lived in the Hou Mansion and saw the warmth and coldness of people, she understood her mother's intention to order someone to change her name.

Xie Ning sighed, turned his head and saw Pei Xinghai talking to the coachman behind him, so he didn't rush in, stared at the silk village outside and looked around carefully, and when he had nothing to do, he turned his gaze to the shop on the street.

Tea shop, oil shop, rice grain shop, dim sum shop...... Hey? Sweeping his gaze to the façade of a house across the street, Xie Ning's gaze paused, and then he looked at it and couldn't help frowning.

Diagonally opposite the street, there is also a silk and satin workshop, and the storefront and façade are obviously bigger and more delicate than their Xie Ji.

The two families are so close, and when they start doing business, won't Xie Ji have to suffer?

Yu Guang caught a glimpse that Pei Xinghai had already walked over, and Xie Ning glanced at the Sun Ji Silk Village again, and then entered Xie Ji with him.

The shopkeeper of Xie Ji Silk Village is a white and chubby middle-aged man, and unlike the old man in the tea shop, this man named Xu Fu is not a servant of their Xie family, but a person hired by her father to take care of the business of this silk and satin village.

I saw him come forward with a smile on his face, "Two guest officers, the cloth in the small shop is good and cheap, I don't know what you want to buy?" ”

Pei Xinghai smiled and replied, "We're not here to buy something. ”

While the two were talking, Xie Ning glanced at Xu Fu without a trace, but saw that he had a high square bun on his head, nothing but a wooden hairpin, and he was wearing a set of brown Hangzhou silk clothes and pants, obviously dressed as a shrewd businessman.

Hearing Pei Xinghai's words, Xu Fu couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "Since you are not here to buy something, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking-I don't know what the two of you are doing when you come to the store?" ”

"Oh, maybe I didn't make it clear," Pei Xinghai and Xie Ning exchanged a look, then looked at him again, took out the seal letter with one hand, pointed at Xie Ning with the other hand, and explained: "This is Miss Xie of the Xie family in Shudi." ”

Xu Fu's complexion changed, and there was a little joy in his voice, but there was no smile in his eyes, and the smile on his face was a little more, and he looked at Xie Ning and said, "It turned out that Miss Xie was here, look at me, and I almost treated Miss Xie as a guest." I don't know when the young lady entered Beijing, but have you ever been in the city? ”

Xie Ning smiled lightly, and his tone was indifferent, "It's been a while since I entered Beijing. It's just that there were too many things some time ago, and I couldn't take care of the family industry for a while, so don't be surprised by Shopkeeper Xu. ”

"How could it be," Xu Fu hurriedly waved his hand at Xie Ning, "In this way, I am tired of you coming to the door in person, but it is not Xu's." ”

The attitude of this shopkeeper Xu Fu Xu is humble and smooth, Xie Ning played a few words of Tai Chi with him, and then under Pei Xinghai's eyes, he talked about the topic, "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper Xu, I am in charge of family affairs recently, but I know very little about the operation of this store." I wonder if the shopkeeper can say a few words to me, and then bring me some of the account books of the past year, so that I can understand more. (100 chapters~)
