After everyone had picked out the things to buy, Ah Luo hurried back with a red face.

Xue Lian greeted with a smile: "Come on, what do you want to buy?" The things in this house are really good, and they are basically the same as the ones we used when we were in Yangzhou. ”

And said: "You're tossing so late, don't fall into the toilet, right?" ”

Ah Luo's face turned even redder, and he glared at Xue Lian with some annoyance, before he said, "What are you thinking about?" ”

Shen Yaru originally wanted to ask why Ah Luo came back so late, but seeing Ah Luo like this, she didn't want to ask too much, so she smiled and said, "You can also pick a few, you don't need to pay money, just be my reward for being a girl, and you have taken care of it all these years." ”

Before Ah Luo could speak, Xuelian began to joke with Shen Yahui again: "Girl, look at the master of the family." ”

Shen Yahui's eyes widened: "I still have less things to give you?" Don't think I don't know how much silver you've hidden under your pillow! I watched quietly when you weren't there, and there were ten taels and one ingots! ”

Xue Lian's eyes widened, and she deliberately said to Xu Qirong: "Miss Biao, look at my girl, and she went to the room of our subordinates to see how much silver she had saved!" ”

Xu Qirong was amused and said with a smile: "That's it, if you annoy the fourth cousin one day, and the fourth cousin wants to keep the silver for you, what should you do?" ”

Xuelian didn't expect Xu Qirong to say this, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "If you really want that, the maid can't ask for it!" Miss Cousin, you don't know, my girl can do business. The little silver of the maid was put in the girl's place, and after half a year, it must be multiplied several times! ”

Everyone is happy. Shen Yahui pointed at Xuelian and scolded with a smile: "I will do business? How can I have you to do business! It's just a trick of words, and I'm not only going to help you keep the money, but I'm going to help you make it more money!" ”

It can be seen that there is a master, and there must be a servant! Xu Qirong smiled, and turned his head to look at Ah Luo, who had a normal face and only picked a small box of rouge.

Out of Shengxiangzhai, Shen Yahui was still a little unsatisfied, and couldn't help but say: "Anyway, it's already out." Why don't we go shopping and go back? ”

Shen Yaru pursed her lips: "What is there to visit on this cold day?" I won't go back this time, I'm just afraid that Cousin Jin will have to worry. ”

Shen Yahui curled her lips a little dissatisfied. I felt a little regretful in my heart, thinking that after I went back, I would go to wrap my cousin around the brocade and let her take everyone out to play together.

But I heard Xu Qirong say: "It's hard for us to go out, it's too late to go back." My sister won't say anything. But there's really nothing to do on a cold day. Why don't you go to the restaurant opposite and sit down? ”

Shen Yaru sighed: "What are you going to do in the restaurant at this time?" It is not the hour of food. ”

Xu Qirong said with a smile: "Cousin Ru, you don't know, there is a crispy pigeon in the restaurant opposite, which is the most famous, and every time I go late, I don't have a mouthful." There is nothing to do today, let's call a private room and talk. It won't be long before it's time for dinner. ”

When Shen Yahui heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said to Shen Yaru: "Sister Rong said that the crispy pigeon is famous. It must be excellent, we're all here. You can't say it if you don't taste it. ”

Shen Yaru thought about it, then no longer objected, and nodded.

Xu Qirong glanced at Ah Luo quietly, and saw that Ah Luo was standing behind Shen Yaru without changing his face, without the slightest nervousness, and couldn't help but praise secretly.

The scale of this restaurant is not very large, there are two floors in total, and the second floor is separated by half, divided into several private rooms. At this time, the restaurant was deserted, except for the miscellaneous people in the restaurant, there was no one else.

Seeing Xu Qirong and others coming in, the shopkeeper immediately trotted forward: "Ladies are this?" ”

Xu Qirong said with a smile: "Arrange a private room for us next to the street, let's talk for a while, and let Xiao Er come in and order food later." ”

The shopkeeper paused: "Unfortunately, there are already guests in the private room on the side of the street, there is a room on the south side, and the window is facing someone else's garden. ”

Xu Qirong has been paying attention to Ah Luo's reaction, and when he saw Ah Luo hearing her say that she wanted to lean against the private room on the street, his eyes shrank for a moment, and he was a little clear in his heart, but he was afraid that Ah Luo had just come to this banquet building to meet the guests in the private room. But I don't know who that man is.

While thinking, he glanced at Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui as if he was following the shopkeeper's words.

Shen Yahui hurriedly said: "Then the one in the south, please lead the way." ”

Xu Qirong paid attention to Ah Luo and exhaled softly.

The little ladies stood in the lobby and couldn't talk in the end, and the shopkeeper hurriedly led people to the private room in the south, and hurriedly came out to make a pot of incense and brought it in.

Xu Qirong stood by the window and looked at the garden with rockeries and pools, and asked as if unintentionally: "Shopkeeper, this time is not the point to eat, who are the guests in the private room on the street?" ”

Ah Luo stood behind Shen Yaru and pursed her lips, looking like she was looking at her nose and mouth.

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's a few sons, it seems that they want to talk about some business, just borrow me here to get together." Miss interested in this? ”

Xu Qirong frowned, didn't speak, Qiu Nong scolded: "You are confused, my girl just asked in vain, you came here, you can't control your mouth so much, you don't know when you offend people!" ”

The shopkeeper also realized that he was talking too much, so he slapped his mouth twice with a smile, and withdrew while apologizing. Qiu Nong glanced at Ah Luo, quietly leaned into his girl's ear, and whispered: "Girl, the maid is guarding outside the door?" ”

How could Xu Qirong not understand what Qiu Nong meant, she wanted to go outside the door and look for an opportunity to find out the identity of the people in the private room on the street!

Xu Qirong shook his head and lowered his voice: "No need." If you go at this time, one is accidentally known, but it will catch fire; Second, Ah Luo is the same as the third cousin, but he has just come to Xijing City, who can he know? The shopkeeper also said that there were many people in the private room talking about business together, and Ah Luo was timid and might not dare to go in. ”

In other words, Ah Luo may not be there to meet those people, and they don't need to put themselves in for this.

After a pause, Xu Qirong said again: "When I go back, I will find an opportunity to talk to my third cousin about this matter." After all, it's the maid next to the third cousin, and it's not easy for us to interfere. ”

Qiu Nong nodded, and then said no more. Shen Yahui leaned over and pointed out the window and said, "Which family's backyard is that?" Isn't it being looked down upon by the people in the restaurant when he repairs here? ”

Shen Yaru saw that there was a lively conversation here, so she also came over to take a look, and then said with a smile: "Look at the withered vines on the shelf, I think it will be full of green leaves in spring and summer, a natural barrier, who can see what the people in the garden are doing!" ”

Xu Qirong nodded, this garden, the layout inside seems to have taken a little thought, not a small door can be made, I am afraid that it is the courtyard of a large family, and I am tired of walking here on weekdays, so I go in to rest. And here is close to Shichahai, the garden is a rockery and a green vine and a pool, it is good to escape the heat in summer.

Shen Yahui was still shaking her head: "It's used to rest in spring and summer, but it's so idle in autumn and winter, and you have to bother taking care of it, which is a bit too wasteful." ”

Although the Shen family is rich, the old lady Shen advocates frugality, and has taught the juniors of the Shen family like this since she was a child.

Xu Qirong smiled: "It's not a complete waste, isn't it cheap for us now!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Yaru suddenly pointed to a corner of the garden: "Who said that no one lives, look over there, on the bench, is there a person lying down reading!" ”

Xu Qirong looked in the direction of Shen Yaru's finger, it was a little far away, and he couldn't see the person's face clearly, just looking at the clothes on the person's body, it was the most fashionable style of the sons and daughters in Xijing City. I can't help but be a little surprised, lying there reading at this time?

Just as I was feeling strange, I saw a little lady walking towards the boy who was reading a book, and the little lady was naughty and jerked the book in the boy's hand, so startled that the boy almost fell from the recliner to the ground.

When Shen Yahui saw this scene, she sneered: "It's a shame to react quickly, otherwise it would be a pity for him to be dressed in white." ”

Shen Yaru smiled: "Those two must not know that we are peeping here!" ”

Xu Qirong was a little uncomfortable when he heard the word "peep", thinking about the words "don't look at incivility", it was not good to think about the relationship between the two anymore, so he wanted to pull Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui back to the table.

Then I heard Qiu Nong gasp: "Girl, why does the maid think that young lady's figure is a little familiar?" ”

Although Shen An and Shen An's family are from Yangzhou, the Qiu Nong who was born is a little big and three thick, and the meat on their bodies is secondary, mainly because of the large skeleton. What little girl doesn't care about her looks? Qiu Nong has been paying attention to maintenance all these years, and the potholes on his face are gone, but there is no way to take this skeleton.

I don't say it on my lips, but I care about it in my heart. Therefore, Qiu Nong pays attention to people, and always pays attention to the figure of others first.

Xu Qirong heard Qiu Nong say that the little lady was familiar, and couldn't help but take a second look, this look, there were two more people behind the little lady, and the maid's appearance was dressed up, which made Xu Qirong's pupils shrink, and he almost exclaimed.

Although Xu Qirong hadn't seen the outfits on the two maids a few times, he couldn't remember them at all. It is clearly Luxia and Rachel next to the fifteenth princess. (To be continued......)
