Xu smiled and beckoned, and said to a maid, "Go and ask Lao Li to move the box in." ”

The maid was blessed and went out, Shen Ruchu was afraid that she would not find the way, and hurriedly ordered Songyue to follow her.

"Let my aunt bother, Ruchu was flattered, Ruchu also prepared some gifts for my aunt, and I will present them to my aunt later." Shen Ruchu smiled humbly.

The more Xu looked at Shen Ruchu, the more pleasing he felt, and said, "Don't be busy, let's do it, let's chat." ”

Shen Ruchu smiled and said, "Please ask my aunt for more advice." ”

Xu smiled: "I can't talk about advice. Who do you usually hang out with? Are there any sisters who are more close-to-heart? ”

Shen Ruchu thought for a while and said, "On weekdays, the only one who gets close is Mrs. Gong. The others are their own sisters. ”

"Madame Gong? Is that your sworn sister, Miss Tang? Xu asked.

Shen Ruchu didn't expect Xu to know so much about his situation, and said, "It's Sister Tang." What's wrong, aunt? I'm a clumsy person, not sociable, and I usually have to be busy with the affairs of the hospital, and I don't have much contact with other ladies and girls. ”

Xu said with a smile: "Make more friends with some people in the future, you are not an ordinary person now, the wife of General Wupin, who doesn't look down on you?" It's not that I'm talking about you, the things in those hospitals are all done by rough people, how can you do those things, even if you know medical skills, you don't have to do it yourself! In the future, I will go to our Su Mansion to walk around, and I will have a summer party next month, I will invite some ladies and ladies to come over in the next post, and you will also go over to join in the fun, and I will introduce you to a few people. ”

Shen Ruchu understood Xu's purpose at this time, it was false to visit herself, and it was true to pull herself to participate in the assembly of the noblewomen, although she was not keen on that kind of activity, but it was not a bad thing to be qualified to be shortlisted, so she smiled and said: "Thank you, aunt." I'm afraid that I don't have much experience, and I'll make jokes then. ”

Xu sneered. "I don't think you're that stupid!" ”

Shen Ruchu smiled and said, "In the future, I will ask my aunt to give me more advice, if there is anything wrong, my aunt will teach." ”

The maid and Songyue came in with a delicate copper box and said, "Madam, the gift has been brought." ”

Xu stood up gracefully, opened the box, and said, "Come, look at these heads and palace flowers, they are all brought out of the palace by the trustee, and they are all the latest styles." The materials used are also of the highest quality. Look at this flower, it is made of beeswax, it is very chic and elegant. ”

Shen Ruchu didn't like those complicated decorations, but when he saw this box of things, he immediately liked it, it was really as Xu said, chic and elegant, exquisite workmanship, and ingenious workmanship.

"Thank you, aunt." Shen Ruchu is grateful.

Xu smiled: "My daughter-in-law thought about asking me before. I didn't want to give it to her, to you, firstly, because I was a meeting gift, and secondly, because I liked you. ”

Shen Ruchu smiled. said: "Uncle, it's better to stay and have a light meal, although the family is coarse tea and light rice, but it is also the same as before." ”

One of Xu's quirks is that he doesn't like to eat out. If it wasn't a last resort or to attend a banquet, she wouldn't stay for a meal, since her daughter-in-law entered the door. Over the years, she has also lived in a simple house, and she doesn't like to eat out anymore, so she immediately refused, and said with a smile: "You don't need to eat, I'm a picky person with dining, don't scare you." Good boy, I accept your wishes. ”

Shen Ruchu was not reluctant, and said with a smile: "Then my aunt will sit for a while, and Ruchu will go in and get something for my aunt." ”

Xu smiled and nodded, and said, "You are too polite, others don't know how to come and think that I came to ask for something." ”

Shen Ruchu knew that she was joking, and laughed, went into the house and came out with a set of tea sets, and said: "Uncle, this set of tea sets came out of the official kiln of the previous dynasty, unparalleled in the world, and the color glaze, a few days ago I found a monk to open the light, I heard that my aunt loves to drink tea, and I gave it to my aunt to express my heart." ”

Xu Shi groped for the tea set with his hand, his eyes lit up, he picked one up and looked at it in his hand to meet the light, nodded and said, "It's really from the official kiln of the previous dynasty, I recognize this texture." I don't dare to keep such a valuable thing, and now no matter how many people want to buy it, they can't buy it. ”

Shen Ruchu said with a smile: "This is also a gift from a friend, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." My aunt must accept it, otherwise she will be disgusted and ignorant. ”

Shen Ruchu looked at Xu coquettishly and twisted her body coquettishly.

Xu picked up another cup and looked at it, rubbed it lovingly, and said, "Okay, I'll take it." I know what you want. You must come to the summer party on the fifth day of the first month of next month. ”

Shen Ruchu smiled and said: "Okay, I have my aunt covering me, Ruchu is not afraid of making a fool of myself, I must go!" ”

Xu Shi took Shen Ruchu's hand and said intimately: "Good boy, you are very good at being a man and have a future!" I'll give you a push, and you'll be famous among those ladies and ladies." ”

Shen Ruchu smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle, Ruchu doesn't want any fame. ”

Xu Shi Zhengse said: "It's not a question of whether you want it or not!" I'm here today not only for my own sake, but also for our lord. You don't underestimate the interaction between ladies, it's very useful. Wen Xu is young and vigorous, has no foundation, and is not good at socializing, and now he is still mixed with a group of people with lower positions and ranks than him, if you don't make friends again, how will you help Wen Xu in the future? In case something happens, who will help you say something? ”

Shen Ruchu frowned slightly, Xu's words reached her heart, which was exactly what she was worried about. The so-called relationships are not all made of friends, people are sophisticated, Wen Xu's official position was promoted too quickly, but this is not clear about the way of officials, and sooner or later he will have to fall behind!

I can't help but take precautions and take care of him more!

"Uncle, you can help me and Wen Xu." Shen Ruchu said sincerely.

Xu sighed and said, "My lord and I both mean the same thing. Ming'er, I'll send you an invitation to Sister Tang, she also knows a lot of people, with her, you won't be bored. ”

Shen Ruchu nodded.

The two talked again, tasted tea for a while, and then Xu got up and left, and Shen Ruchu was sent to the gate all the way, watching Xu's carriage go away.

Songyue said, "Madam, don't you want to go?" ”

Shen Ruchu sighed and said, "I don't want to go." I'm pregnant with my baby now and can't drink alcohol. Going to a party inevitably involves drinking to have fun, and I don't want to go, and I don't like it. ”

Song Yue was silent for a while, and said, "Madam, you are also tired, go back and rest for a while." Go back and tell Mrs. Gong, she will definitely help you block. ”

Shen Ruchu nodded and said, "I'll take some time to see her tomorrow." Accompany me to the street, call Ruyi too, let's go see what medicinal herbs there are, let's get a little more first. ”

Song Yue said: "Okay, madam, you wait, the slave will call him." Do you want to prepare a carriage? ”

Shen Ruchu nodded and said, "Let's go around the West Market first, and we don't necessarily buy it yet, and by the way, tell them that our medical clinic is about to open, and let them take care of the business in the future." ”

Songyue said: "Hmm. The slave and maid will go and call Ruyi. ”

Shen Ruchu said: "Don't worry, I'll go change my clothes first, it's not appropriate to wear such clothes to the street." Today she wore a bright green gauze dress, which was refreshing and fresh, and it would be the most eye-catching in the crowd.

The three of them cleaned up and got ready, and then went out into the street.

"Ruyi, how many pharmacies are there in this West Market? What are the characteristics of each? What is the scale? Shen Ruchu said, these matters have been asked to come out to inquire before, there is a way to know oneself and know that the other side will win all battles, and the same is true for doing business.

Ruyi said: "Mrs. Hui, there are seven pharmacies large and small in the West Market, among which the Yan family and the Li family have the largest stores and the most complete medicinal materials, and the price of medicinal materials in these two is also relatively expensive; The Pan family opened two stores, the scale is not large, the price is not more expensive than its peers, and the magic is that a point is opened at the junction of the east and west markets, and the business is quite prosperous. The shops of the Jin family and the Wu family are relatively small, and they do not sell any valuable medicinal materials, which are of high quality and low price, and are more popular with the common people, and the shopkeepers in these two stores have good medical skills; There is also a shop under the name of the Yang family, and a few old guys are guarding it, and the business is average. ”

Shen Ruchu nodded and said, "Then which one do you think we should start with?" ”

Ruyi thought for a while and said: "I think the Yang family is the most likely to cooperate with us, after all, there is still Miss Yang's face in the middle, if Miss Yang is willing to come forward to say something, then there will be no problem with credit in the future, and it can ensure the operation of funds." ”

Shen Ruchu shook his head and said, "Businessmen value profit over parting, and the Yang family values interests, not feelings; A poor relative who can't bring them financial benefits, they don't need to give any affection! Let's not get bored. ”

Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Listen to Madame's arrangement." ”

Shen Ruchu said: "Let's go to the Jin family or the Wu family first." ”

Ruyi nodded and said, "If you go to the Jin family, you have to go in this direction, madam, please." ”

Song Yue suddenly said, "Madam, look, that's not ...... Isn't it Mr. Gao? ”

Shen Ruchu looked in the direction of her finger, and saw Gao Yang hurrying over, and it happened that he also saw Shen Ruchu as soon as he raised his eyes, so he limped over and said hello: "Third sister, such a coincidence, come out for a walk on such a hot day?" ”

Shen Ruchu smiled and said, "Come out and see the nearby pharmacy." Where are you going? ”

Gao Yang said: "That is, just walk around." ”

Shen Ruchu looked at the road behind him, it should be from the direction of the Shen family, Gao Yang's family is in Beicheng, although Beicheng is the jurisdiction of Anyang, but it is a county seat outside Anyang City, even if he drives a carriage to talk about an hour, he came to Xishi to hang out, who believes it?

"Is my grandfather okay?" Shen Ruchu asked with a smile.

Gao Yang knew that he couldn't hide it, and said, "It's okay, I just came out of the Shen family." ”

Shen Ruchu said again: "Is my second sister okay?" ”

Gao Yang's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said, "It's okay." (To be continued......)
