Jinxiu Lou is also the industry of "He Ji", which is the most famous and luxurious restaurant in Shengjing.

On this day, because of the banquet of the owner, the Jinxiu Building in the east of the city hung a sign of closure early in the morning, only serving its own master.

An Ruolan wore a gauze hat, accompanied by Mr. Yi, and went to Jinxiu Building early to prepare, and also asked the shopkeepers in the building to recognize people.

Young in charge, and has no blood relationship with her father-in-law, An Ruolan originally thought that after she took over the "He Ji", she would be more or less troubled, but unexpectedly, everyone treated her very politely, neither relying on the old qualifications to rely on the old and selling the old, nor did she sit on her back to play prestige, in this regard, An Ruolan's only feeling is that her father-in-law took good care of the "He Ji".

Invisibly, she felt that the burden on her shoulders was a little heavier.

After greeting the steward in the building, and watching up and down the building, it was close to noon, An Ruolan entered the private room on the third floor that had been arranged earlier, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and waited for the guests to arrive.

Zuixian Pavilion is the largest and most elegantly furnished private room in the Splendid Building, which is only used by the proprietor and relatives and friends who are close to the proprietor, and is a place that may not be able to enter even if you have money and power.

There are three rooms inside and outside the drunken fairy pavilion, the outermost is the lobby, there are two small tables for banquets, the middle one is separated by a splendid landscape screen, it is the tea room, and the innermost is the bedroom for the master's family to rest.

Because An Ruolan was a girl who had not yet left the boudoir, Mr. Yi asked her to stay in the tearoom with four joys and eight yuan, and she didn't have to entertain guests in person for a while.

At first, An Ruolan was not happy. When she learned that it was not only the Wei brothers and sisters who were invited to the banquet, she became honest.

Mr. Yi explained to her one by one, telling her what to do when the guests came.

Soon it was noon. Invited guests came one after another.

There were nearly a dozen people here, except for Wei Shao and a young woman, the rest were men, some of them were old and young, the older ones were about fifty or sixty years old, and the younger ones were only seventeen or eighteen years old. Bayuan whispered to An Ruolan that the young woman was the head of the "Xiangji" cloth village. Known as Mrs. Zhuo.

"Xiangji" cloth village An Ruolan knew that it was the largest cloth village in Shengjing City, but he didn't expect that the owner would be a woman.

She couldn't help but admire, and looked at the woman through the screen.

Mr. Yi also knew that An Ruolan was depressed in the tea room alone. invited Wei Shao and Mrs. Zhuo into the tea room to sit.

Mrs. Zhuo is a slender northern woman, with a tall figure, a deep silhouette, and a pair of phoenix eyes that are always shrewd and capable, which is inexplicably matched with the concise and lazy dress.

"I've talked about so much business, I've eaten so many banquets, and it's the first time I've sat at a separate table with a man, and it's still the girl's family who is careful and thoughtful." Before saying a word, Mrs. Zhuo's first impression was hearty and crisp.

An Ruolan couldn't help but feel good. smiled at her, but kept in mind Mr. Yi's instructions and did not speak lightly.

She heard it too. Mrs. Zhuo's words did not show flattery and flattery.

Wei Shao may have also been carefully admonished, and at this time he also looked extremely solemn, not as impetuous as before.

Seeing that the two young girls were so calm and steady, Mrs. Zhuo couldn't help but secretly admire, her smile did not decrease, but the vigilance in her eyes deepened a little.

An Ruolan was present though. But it was Mr. Yi who came forward to greet the guests, and everyone greeted each other. He sat down and talked about business while eating, drinking, singing and dancing.

Compared with the excitement outside, the tearoom seemed a little deserted, Mrs. Zhuo was also a tolerant person, An Ruolan and Wei Shao never spoke, and she was not in a hurry, so she just found a topic to tease the two of them.

"Look at the appearance of the young owner and Miss Wei, there are twelve, they are really as old as flowers, which is enviable."

Mrs. Zhuo poured wine for the two of them first, and then filled it for herself, with sincere envy.

Wei Shao blushed, not knowing how to reply, An Ruolan smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhuo has won the award, no matter how old she is, there are people who are at dusk." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhuo was stunned for a moment, as if she was in deep thought, and then said with a wry smile: "The young owner is right, the important thing is not the appearance and age, but how much value is in the hand. ”

She raised her head and drank a few glasses of wine in a row, with cruelty in her eyes, and said resentfully: "Women always want to use their looks to keep men, but there are a few men who can be trusted!" ”

An Ruolan and Wei Shao secretly exchanged a look, both of which were a little inexplicable.

After Mrs. Zhuo vented, she regained her calm and solemn appearance, and said with a smile: "The slave family heard that Mrs. Wei intends to open an embroidery workshop in the south of the city, I wonder if Miss Wei knows about this?" ”

Wei Shao opened his mouth to answer, An Ruolan secretly pulled her sleeve, she understood, and changed her words: "I don't know, I haven't heard my mother mention it." ”

Mrs. Zhuo glanced at An Ruolan vaguely and inexplicably, and when she saw that she was calm, she smiled casually and said, "That may be someone misinformed the news." ”

This topic is revealed.

The three of them ate and chatted again, during which Mrs. Zhuo kept persuading her to drink, An Ruolan responded in her mouth, only taking a small sip and a small glass of wine every time, she drank no less than six times before she finished drinking, and Wei Shao did the same.

Mrs. Zhuo talked a few times without a trace during the chat, and An Ruolan always maintained an uncommittal smile according to Mr. Yi's teaching, but she didn't say anything, but Mrs. Zhuo was so depressed that she couldn't do it.

Wei Shao is not stupid, she saw that An Ruolan refused to say anything, so she pretended to be stupid and confused.

Mrs. Zhuo talked around with the two of them for a while, but she didn't take advantage of it at all, and she didn't get any usable news, knowing that it would be in vain to continue to stay here, she finally couldn't bear to get up and leave the outer world.

As soon as Mrs. Zhuo walked out of the tea room with her front feet, Wei Shao patted her chest and exhaled a long breath, and said in a low voice: "If she continues to grind and chirp, I will definitely be tricked by her." ”

An Ruolan covered her lips and chuckled, and said: "They are all veterans in the business field, and they are very good, you can persist until now, which is very good." ”

"You're still amazing." Wei Shao praised sincerely, sticking out his tongue, "Just now she deliberately pretended to be pitiful with wine to drown her sorrows, I was almost deceived by her, fortunately you reminded me in time, otherwise I would have told her everything." ”

An Ruolan smiled, "I don't know if she's pretending, but my father-in-law told me not to sympathize with others lightly at any time, especially in business." ”

"Oh." Wei Shao scratched the back of his head as if he didn't understand.

Besides, outside the room, after Mrs. Zhuo came out to greet everyone familiarly, she sat down, and the boss of the "Tian Ji" rice shop who was sitting next to her leaned over and asked her in a low voice: "How is Zhong Laosi, the righteous daughter?" ”

Mrs. Zhuo snorted twice, shook her head and said in a low voice: "The mouth is tighter than the shell of a mussel, it's powerful, and it is the true inheritance of Fourth Master Zhong." ”

Boss Tian smacked his mouth and said, "Even if you say it's amazing, it's definitely not bad, and it seems that you won't be able to take advantage of it in the future." ”

"Come on, let's do business honestly." Mrs. Zhuo pouted a little unwillingly, paused, and said, "It is said that the young lady of Weiguo Mansion is very impulsive and reckless, and now I look at it, she is quite clever." ”

Boss Tian smiled, "I also don't believe you, Duchess Weiguo is famous for her long-sleeved good dance, can the daughter she raised be poor?" Besides," he pouted inside, "Don't you see that the little sisters are affectionate, the so-called red one who is close to Zhu, and one who is close to ink is black, can you not understand this truth?" ”

Mrs. Zhuo looked up at the tea room, and the two pieces of silver next to each other on the screen were not very intimate.

Dare to love her, she was fooled by the union of these two girls.

For a while, Mrs. Zhuo was funny and angry.

Talking about business at the wine table is the simplest, two cups of yellow soup in the stomach, no matter whether you know each other before, you can quickly call yourself a brother, and when you are familiar with it, the next qiē will be easy to do.

Everyone ate and drank, and it didn't disperse until around Shen Shi, Mr. Yi negotiated a few deals, and drank too much, and when the guests were sent away, he was helped to the bedroom at the back to rest.

Wei Xing also drank a lot, fortunately, he had been mixed with the soldiers in the army since he was a child, and the amount of alcohol was very good, so he was not drunk, but he drank on his face, An Ruolan saw that his handsome face was flushed, and he really didn't worry about him leaving like this, so he asked the manager to open another private room and let him go in to rest.

As for Wei Shao, he was naturally by An Ruolan's side.

Seeing An Ruolan personally send sobering soup to his brother, Wei Shao sighed: "Ruolan, you are so good to my brother. ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, An Ruolan blushed suddenly, and explained shyly and anxiously: "I'm just doing my best to be a landlord, what's good or not, don't talk nonsense." ”

Wei Shao blinked puzzled, "What are you panicking about, I don't have ......"

Halfway through her words, her eyes widened suddenly, as if she had figured out something, and she pointed at An Ruolan and exclaimed: "Ruolan, should you be ...... to my brother?"

An Ruolan covered her mouth and shouted in a loud voice: "Besides, besides, don't come to see me in the future!" ”

Wei Shao pouted and muttered unconvinced: "Originally, everyone else was drunk, but you didn't stay, but you left my brother." ”

"Say it again!" An Ruolan was annoyed and angry, stomping his feet and drinking low.

Wei Shao stuck out his tongue, "Okay, I won't say anything." She grinned and snickered.

An Ruolan felt that her face was about to burn, she glared at Wei Shao, but her heart was inexplicably a little relaxed, since Wei Shao was not angry, it meant that Wei Shao did not object to her liking Wei Xing.

Although she really wanted to be with Wei Xing, she didn't want to lose Wei Shao's friend.

Although Wei Xing was not drunk, his brain was also a little dizzy, and after drinking the sobering soup, he rested in Ya Room.

He didn't want to stay, but Wei Shao refused to leave, saying that he wanted to stay with An Ruolan for more, but he couldn't resist his sister, so he had to accept this love.

Unbeknownst to him, he was sold by his own sister.

The banquet was dispersed by Shen Shi, and then he tossed again, and only stopped when Shen Zhengwei was punished, he only rested for half an hour, and then woke up, looking at the clean clothes placed at the head of the bed, he unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

After freshening up, he took his entourage to say goodbye to An Ruolan. (To be continued) R466
