Three days later, Xia Qingyun went to the appointment on time.

In order not to involve Zhengbo, the Yao family, and the Hua family, she went alone.

The very center of the capital is the majestic and solemn imperial city, and within a radius of ten miles outside the imperial city is the residence of the princes and nobles and court officials, which is called the official city.

Outside the official city, it is divided into four regions according to the north, south, east and west.

To the south and north are the largest markets, which are also residential areas for ordinary people. The east side is dominated by the Hanlin Temple, where there are study rooms and temples, while the west side is where the mansions of wealthy merchants gathered, and the Huangfu family is located here.

From the outside, the Huangfu Mansion has gray walls and black tiles, except for a large area, it is no different from the ordinary houses in the capital. Stepping into the vermilion lacquer gate, I found that there was a hole inside.

The pattern of the courtyard imitates the garden in the south of the Yangtze River, building a small bridge and flowing water, planting famous flowers and plants everywhere, and some places also display the sculptures of Fanbang, which is quite a combination of Chinese and Western taste.

The subordinates in the house could not see a single coarse cloth garment, and even the coarse mother-in-law wore a fine silk dress.

Xia Qingyun was still wearing her usual azure dress, her long hair was braided into two long braids hanging down her waist, simple and unpretentious.

In the side hall, Huang watched her walk in with a spring breeze on his face, without the slightest shelf, and greeted kindly: "I have long heard Xiangdong talk about Qingyun girl, and when I saw it today, she was really a fairy-like handsome character!" ”

Xia Qingyun bowed and raised his head with a calm expression.

Huang's cloud temples are high, his head is full of pearls, he is wearing a light red gold tuanhua summer shirt, and a light blue fragrant sarong skirt, and his skin is slightly plump. There is not a trace of fine lines on his face, his figure is moderate, and he looks only in his early thirties, which shows that he is very well maintained on weekdays.

The two sat down, the maid served two teas, and after gossiping for a while, Huang asked, "I don't know how old the girl is, can you say kiss at home?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the little girl has just turned fifteen this year, and she has not been engaged yet."

Huang nodded in satisfaction. "Creating a career at such a young age. What a rare talent! ”

"Madame has won the award, I came here to negotiate with Madame about last year's sales contract"

"Look at you, it's hard to make a trip. Why are you in a hurry to talk about those Raush's. Huang intercepted her words. smiled and instructed his subordinates: "Go and see if the eldest young master has come back." Let him hurry up! ”

turned to Xia Qingyun again, "The original contract was agreed between you and Xiang Dong, and it's not too late to talk about it when he comes." I heard that you are good at the tea ceremony. Can you tell me about it too? ”

Xia Qingyun smiled faintly, and said in his heart, you mother and son, you push me, I push you, I want to see what tricks you want to play.

She was silent, telling some of the essentials of brewing tea, Huang listened with a smile, and sometimes echoed a few words, looking very kind.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Huang smiled and said, "Seeing that it's noon, why haven't you come back to the east." I have prepared a table of thin wine, why don't you just enjoy a meal, let's wait while eating. ”

In the flower hall, a sumptuous banquet has already been prepared.

Huang personally poured two glasses of fruit wine and raised his glass with a smile. Xia Qingyun didn't shirk either, picked up the cup and drank it all.

wanted to drink with 500 soldiers in Tunpu, but she was not drunk with a thousand cups.

I drink Seven Star Spring Water every day, and I don't worry about what the Huang family is doing in the wine, let alone wine, even if it is intestinal poison, she can't help it.

"Miss Xia is refreshing! I just like your character. If only you were my daughter! ”

Huang took her hand and rubbed it back and forth, "Qingyun, my family is the same age as you, and you are also familiar with each other. Xiang Dong has mentioned to me a long time ago that he admires your talent and character very much, and I, as a mother, will ask him if you are willing to marry into the Huangfu family? ”

"Madame!" Xia Qingyun immediately got up, gave a blessing, and said, "Thanks to Mrs. for her mercy, the little girl is very honored." The country woman really didn't dare to climb high. Please also ask Madame to retract what she just said. ”

"Shinong businessman, Miss Xia is also a farmer and a businessman, if you want to say Gao Pan, it is also our Huangfu family Gao Pan. Why, don't you like my house to the east? ”

"Xiang Donggongzi is a talent, and he should marry a lady from a big family. Our Xia family is a small family, how can it be compared with the Huangfu family. ”

"The girl's words are wrong! With your ability to run a tea plantation, coupled with the momentum of our Huangfu family, the daily progress is just around the corner. Regardless of your background, do you like people or not? ”

Huang smiled playfully, his fingers gently fiddling with a pearl set in the lid of the flask.

"I have always admired Gongzi's talents," Xia Qingyun bit her lip and looked at Huang with a firm look, "However, I have no personal feelings for Gongzi, and I ask Madame not to embarrass the little girl anymore." ”

"Oh." Huang smiled faintly and beckoned: "Sit down and sit down, the two of us are just chatting casually, I heard that you have opened a teahouse and tea house in Yuzhou, and the business is not bad?" ”

After going around and around, and finally returning to the topic, Xia Qingyun sat down calmly and replied with a smile: "Business is okay." That's why I planned to open another one in Zhili, and I thought of the contract between us, so I came to visit Madame. ”

"If you talk about this contract," the smile on Huang's face narrowed a little, "I think the girl must remember that it is clearly written that within five years, the tea leaves of Qingyun Tea House will be underwritten by Huangfu Firm." This means that except for the Huangfu family's business, no other merchants are allowed to sell tea. ”

"Madam, the tea house and the tea house belong to the industry of Qingyun Tea Garden, and the contract also says that in addition to their own family, other tea is underwritten by Huangfu Firm. This should not be considered a breach of contract. ”

"That's not what I said." Huang put away his smile, "I heard that you are not the only shareholder of the teahouse, and the Hua family and the Yao family in the capital also have shares. How can you say that you have it at home? ”

The atmosphere suddenly became deadlocked, and Huang's eyes stared sharply at Xia Qingyun to see how she answered.

"Mother! Qingyun, I'm coming back late, and you don't wait for me! Huangfu walked in with a smile to the east.

Actually, he didn't go out at all today. According to Huang's instructions, he deliberately did not show up, hiding to the side and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two. Seeing the embarrassing scene at this moment, he came out of the round.

Huangfu Xiangdong sat down beside the Huang family, pretending to know nothing and asked, "Mother, how did you discuss with Qingyun, when will the teahouse open?" ”

"You made the contract, but now you have to push it to me." Huang glanced at him with a smile, and his fingers gently turned the lid of the flask in a half circle.

Of course, her small movements couldn't escape Xia Qingyun's eyes.

It's so like! Xia Qingyun secretly slandered to herself, do these two women sing and harmonize, and treat everyone as fools? Well, since you like acting, then I will accompany you to the end. (To be continued......)
