Chapter 471: The female partner doesn't want to be crossed 16
Jiang Rong was already favored by Mrs. Jiang, but now that Zhong Li has taken over, she has shown her business talents, and her status in the Jiang family has risen, and she can mobilize more people and money, which also makes her plan unfold as scheduled.
Zhong Li has a preconceived notion that she has long regarded Yanxiu, the prince of Weiguo, as her bag, and she also firmly remembers that when she was still Zhong Yingxue, the two made a private lifelong agreement and made a vow to work together for the rest of their lives.
The good thing of crossing and rebirth has come to the head more than once, Zhong Li is sure that her life is destined to be extraordinary, when she was in modern times, colleagues in the TV series said that after those women who traveled through to ancient times, they did not all shine, either to get the emperor's favor or to win the favor of the prince.
Zhong Li does not envy them because she wants a unique love and does not want to share her beloved with many women. Yan Xiu has always been clean and self-loving, and she is the ideal type she never dared to think of before she crossed over.
Therefore, she must make Yan Xiu fall in love with her again, and make him think that she is the person he once spent the moon and swore an oath. As for the person who robbed Zhong Yingxue's identity, Zhong Li believes that sooner or later Yan Xiu will see through that she is just a vase with a false appearance.
"Ahh Gu Xiaoxiao, who was flipping through the account book, sneezed, rubbed her nose, closed the account book, and said in a brisk tone: "Bailing, cuckoo, clean up the table, and then send someone to tell the young master, just say that I want to go to the store." ”
Not long after her words passed, Zhong Nan was already waiting outside her small courtyard.
Gu Xiaoxiao simply cleaned up and went out with the two maids, and Zhong Nan took the little maid. Wearing a turquoise robe, he is as tall as a bamboo, and he also holds a folding fan in his hand, fanning the wind from side to side.
"It's so hot. Even if the elder brother wants to accompany his sister to the store, he should wait in the shade. Besides, it's not a big deal, so it's okay for me to go alone. ”
Zhong Nan put away the fan and waved his hand: "Brother is such a sister, how can I be willing to let you go outside alone, in case you meet someone who doesn't open your eyes, it will disgust your sister." ”
The relationship between the two siblings has always been excellent. Before Zhong Li came, Zhong Yingxue often coquetted in front of Zhong Nan, but she was coquettish without purpose. Every time Zhong Li is coquettish, she almost always seeks Zhong Nan's support and help.
Replaced Gu Xiaoxiao, she couldn't do it in front of her peers, but it was too rusty to say thank you, so she said while walking: "Thank you brother for your concern." After returning from the shop. My sister makes chilled lotus root soup for you. ”
"Ha, that brother is waiting for you to try your good craft." Zhong Nan smiled heartily and consciously protected Gu Xiaoxiao inside.
Since the two of them got older, Zhong Nan and Zhong Yingxue have always paid attention to keeping their distance when they get along, and his concern for her is reflected in many details, not in the small actions of intimacy.
On the contrary, when Zhong Li first came, in order to please Zhong Nan, he deliberately studied TV dramas. The coquettish and frolicking behavior of her sister and brother was after Zhong Nam educated her two or three times. only to correct it. However, Zhong Li once complained about this, thinking that it was too perverted in ancient times, and the brothers and sisters of the same mother should also pay attention to whether men and women give or receive kisses, she just wants to get along with her brother to express her cordiality.
Zhong Li usually goes to the shop only a handful of times, so Gu Xiaoxiao didn't get much information about the shop from Zhong Yingxue's memory. Zhong Shun's reluctance to do business was widely known, so except for the shopkeeper, everyone else only thought that the two were customers who came to the door, and they had a very good hospitality attitude.
Somehow, Gu Xiaoxiao felt the sense of a modern shopping guide from them, and it seemed that this was also one of Zhong Li's handiwork. Fortunately, a few clerks paid attention to proportions and kept enough distance from female customers not to be offensive.
Zhong Nan was obviously very interested in doing business, and after entering the store, he inspected up and down, and also put forward a few tricky requirements to inspect the coping ability of the junior two in the store. Gu Xiaoxiao just looked at it silently, noting down the deficiencies in the store and the areas that needed to be improved.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles, after transferring two of her own shops, Gu Xiaoxiao considered whether to take a look at the newly opened store, but she didn't expect that the master behind the new store also had the same thought.
In the Zhong Family's Scholarly Pavilion, Gu Xiaoxiao was reminded by Bai Ling to face Jiang Rong, the second lady of the Jiang family, for the first time, but Jiang Rong was dressed a little strangely.
Although Daxingguo is a little harsher on women's words and deeds, even if everyone is beautiful, there is no reason to be confined at home and not allowed to go out. The daughters of ordinary people show up to do some buying and sewing business, and no one is surprised, and the daughters of the merchants' families are not restricted from going out.
Therefore, Jiang Rong was wearing an obviously wide men's dress, and learned from a man to crown his hair, revealing two tender earlobes with pierced ears, thinking that the woman was very successful in dressing up as a man, and she took the maid to walk around the Scholar Pavilion in a big way, which made people can't help but look sideways.
Not only did Gu Xiaoxiao notice Jiang Rong, who was dressed strangely, but other people in the building also peeked at her, I am afraid that she was the only one who didn't realize it. At this time, she didn't know that Jiang Rong was no longer Jiang Rong, and what lived in her body was Zhong Li's soul.
Zhong Nan glanced at the woman dressed as a man, on the one hand, he felt that her behavior was deviant, and on the other hand, he felt that she was a little familiar, and if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember when he had crossed paths with such a woman.
As for the shopkeeper, he is even more in a dilemma, this "son" who went out with a small servant is obviously a young lady, they are afraid that they will surprise her, and they will not come forward to entertain, and they are afraid of neglecting her, which is really a dilemma.
The Scholarly Pavilion was divided into two floors, and Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhong Nan had just gone upstairs, and they saw Zhong Li, who was immersed in the pride of the Zhong family's shop after she left her, and she really turned from victory to decline.
Especially when Zhong Li entered the store for almost half an hour, no one came to greet her, which made her even more proud of her newly opened Qishufang focusing on customer experience, winning more repeat customers and stealing the business of Shuxiang Pavilion.
Zhong Li folded the fan in his hand, deliberately changed his voice and said in a rough voice: "Shopkeeper, why didn't anyone come to greet this son." ”
The shopkeeper had long noticed that this bold lady dressed as a man was having a headache how to deal with it, and suddenly saw the son and the young lady of the proprietor coming, and wanted to get up to greet him, but he was named by the fake son. Then he put down the abacus and walked out of the counter, and personally stretched out his hand to greet him: "On the second floor of the Scholarly Pavilion, there are many subsets of history, and there are categories on the bookshelf. What book does Childe want, you can talk to Xiao Er, let him find it for you. ”
Zhong Li brushed open the fan, oh, looked around with his hands behind his back, and suddenly saw Zhong Nan in the afterglow, and then saw the fake Zhong Yingxue wearing a curtain fence. At first, he was happy and angry, afraid that he would be too excited and break things, so he forcibly turned his gaze to the bookshelf to sort out his emotions.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt Jiang Rong's hot gaze. Strange, why did she feel disgust from Jiang Rong's sight. Could it be that there is an intersection between Jiang Rong and Zhong Li or the original owner that she doesn't know.
She was thinking about it when Zhong Nan on the side suddenly shuddered, and at the same time as he trembled. Gu Xiaoxiao heard a thin and weak benefactor with a crying voice.
Gu Xiaoxiao went to Zhongnan. was taken aback, and saw a woman wearing a blue shirt with two lines of tears hanging and a translucent body, standing beside Zhong Nan mournfully and crying, crying and shouting to her benefactor, her hand hanging in the air in fear, not daring to stretch out and pull his sleeve.
If this woman wasn't exactly the same as Jiang Rong after disguising herself as a man, Gu Xiaoxiao would still think that Zhong Nan was outside. What iniquity has been abandoned at the beginning of the chaos, and now he has been found at the door.
Bai Ling was even more surprised. In addition to Gu Xiaoxiao, she could see the vision of two Miss Jiang appearing at the same time, she looked at this and that, quietly pulled Gu Xiaoxiao's sleeve, and expressed her confusion with her eyes.
For Gu Xiaoxiao, at the moment when she saw Jiang Rong's soul, all the abnormal behaviors of the Jiang family and Jiang Rong were explained. Why did Jiang Rong dislike her, at that time, because this woman dressed as a man was not Jiang Rong at all, but Zhong Li!
When she drove Zhong Li away, Gu Xiaoxiao did think about whether she would get an adventure if she hadn't dissipated, but then there was no movement, so she concentrated on dealing with the Weiguo Mansion and Yanxiu's father and son.
She really didn't expect Zhong Li to occupy another body so quickly and squeeze the original owner out of her body.
Miss Jiang's face was sad, and it was obvious that her soul was out of her body, and it was not easy to be forced to watch a stranger live with her body and identity. But why did she call Zhong Nan with a benefactor, could it be that there was still an intersection between the two of them, Gu Xiaoxiao decided to have the opportunity to ask Zhong Nan.
"Oh, do you have "Dream of Red Mansions" or "The Legend of the West Chamber" or anything here?"
Zhong Li opened his mouth and said the new products recently launched by Qishuge, the shopkeeper's heart secretly said that it was not good, the business was sluggish these days, and he was always worried, for fear that the owner would take off his shopkeeper's hat.
Today, the young owner and the lady came to inspect the store, he wanted to behave well, but unexpectedly there was a strangely dressed woman to kick the field, he had to hold back the worry in his heart, accompanied by a smile and said: "It's really unfortunate, the book that this son wants to buy, there is just no one in the pavilion, but we have "Leaving the Soul", "Zi Hai Yuan", "Rong Zhai Essay" and many other books and essays to pass the time. ”
Zhong Li snorted, and said disdainfully: "It's all old books from many years ago, and I don't even have a fresh one, and I dare to open the door to do business." ”
These words hurt people, not only hurt the shopkeeper, but also slandered the plaque of the Shuxiang Pavilion, the shopkeeper was a little anxious: "Aunt, son, this is a bad word, it is a good book that can be passed down through the ages, if you are rare and fresh, you can also go to other bookstores to hunt for treasures, let's open the door to do business, and welcome guests from all over the world." ”
"Okay, the shopkeeper said it well, if this brother thinks that the book here is not satisfactory, he may encounter a surprise in another place."
Zhong Nan these days, for the family's business is sad, for the newly opened shop has also been investigated, this young lady dressed as a man, the two books mentioned in the mouth are Qishuge once it was launched in the market in the market, she deliberately mentioned it in the Shuxiang Pavilion, isn't it embarrassing for the shopkeeper.
Zhong Li didn't expect that her brother, who used to be very fond of her, would talk to her in this tone today, although she didn't like the fake Zhong Yingxue, but she still had some true feelings for this brother.
Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but say: "Zhong Gongzi is surprised, it's just two books, if you want to read them, I'll send two to the house." ”
Zhong Nan frowned, puzzled: "How do you know that my surname is Zhong?" ”
Moreover, he is the young master of the Zhong family, is it rare that she can't write two books, and strange men and women teach and receive each other privately, and the legend is what kind of system.
Zhong Li came back to his senses in a trance, only then did he realize that the Jiang family and the Zhong family had no intersection, and the brother didn't know who she was at all, and his heart was sour, and he remembered Yan Xiu's suspicion of himself, and he was even more sentimental, and said in a gloomy tone: "It turns out that Gongzi's surname is really Zhong, and Fang Cai Xiaosheng made a mistake and called Zhong Gongzi in a daze, which is also a mistake." Childe is somewhat similar to an old man, so Xiaosheng took the liberty to give away books. ”
These words are obviously not convincing, but the other party is a woman, and Zhong Nan is not easy to entangle.
He had concerns, but Gu Xiaoxiao didn't, she laughed twice, her eyes swept over Zhong Li, who was dressed as a man, and said leisurely: "Miss Jiang is really interested, she likes "Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Legend of the West Chamber" in her own pavilion, but she ran to other people's bookstores to buy them. ”
There were few people on the second floor, and many scholars wandering here had seen frequent women going upstairs before, and they left very consciously. Now there are only Gu Xiaoxiao, Zhong Nan and the maid on the second floor, as well as Jiang Rong's maid, and the shopkeeper.
"Sister, what's going on, if your handkerchief is handed over, my brother will be offended."
Zhong Li was betrayed by the human identity, and he was very frightened in his heart, and said abruptly: "I'm afraid this girl is confused, how can there be any Miss Jiang here, just read a few idle books under the surname Li Ai." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, her eyes were empty, and she fell behind Zhong Li, and deliberately put her tone in an ethereal tone: "Childe said that he was laughing, Miss Jiang has always been there, how could I look away." ”
Zhong Nan became more and more confused, looking at Zhong Li and then at his sister, completely ignoring what the two were saying.
As for Jiang Rong, she only thought that Zhong Yingxue had seen through Zhong Li's appearance and pointed her out as herself, and she only cared about sadness in her heart. Who would have thought that Gu Xiaoxiao could see her soul, so she missed the opportunity to come forward for help.
For some reason, seeing Zhong Yingxue's gaze falling on the void, her tone was quiet, Zhong Li's back was a little cold, as if Miss Jiang was really behind her, like a needle on her back.
In addition, Zhong Nan's face was indifferent and had no intention of intimacy, her heart was sour and astringent, and she simply arched her hand and said: "Xiaosheng has something at home, take the first step, and we will meet again in the future." ”
She came strangely and left in a hurry, Zhong Nan's doubts were even more intense, and he always felt that his sister seemed to know something he didn't know.
Zhong Li left, the second girl of the Jiang family shouted at Zhong Nan for her benefactor, and when Zhong Li went downstairs except for the door, she reluctantly followed her away. It seems that her current condition is the same as Zhong Yingxue at the beginning, and she can't leave her body within ten feet.
(Everyone, I'm so tired today...... (To be continued.) )
