On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Song Lingyue's clothes shop was finally put in order, the inside and outside took on a new look, a new plaque was hung at the door, and the red silk was still wrapped on it, waiting for her to unveil it.

Song Lingyue walked to the door of the shop, Tailor Xie came out with a few guys to greet her, Song Lingyue said a few words, pulled the strip of cloth on the red silk with one hand, and waved to uncover the plaque.

On the large plaque with black gilded edges, there are three gold-plated characters "Hua Xiangrong", which is the name of Song Lingyuexiang, which takes the meaning of Yun Xiang's clothes and flowers, which is in line with the theme of the clothing shop.

A guy erected a pole and lit a firecracker to celebrate the opening, and the crackling sound of firecrackers attracted many passers-by to stop, and the surrounding shop owners also came to congratulate and send a lot of congratulatory gifts.

coincided with the opening and caught up with the New Year's Festival, Song Lingyue chartered two tables of banquets in Jinhua Building, and invited the workers in the shop to have a meal with the people who came to congratulate her.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Song Lingyue still had no free time, there was a holiday in the shop, although Jin Kaimen did not have to go, but Chen Tingfeng invited friends in the mansion, and they all brought female dependents, she must accompany her.

Nicholas Chan invited all the famous people in Kyoto, some Song Lingyue knew, and some she didn't know, but after a glass of wine, she also knew those she didn't know.

Nicholas Chen sat at a table with the men, and Song Lingyue sat at a table with the women, the men talked about political affairs and business dealings, and the women talked about dressing up and clothes.

Song Lingyue had a heart, and deliberately wore a dark green fine velvet dress made for her by Tailor Xie two days ago, which was designed by her personally, the upper body was slightly loose, the collar was a pleated semi-high neck, and there was a circle of lace flowers on it, and the waist was slightly slim, which just outlined her beautiful slender waistline, and the lower body opened a fork on one side from the knee, like a cheongsam style, and a bit of Western-style dress, with a unique design and gorgeous beauty.

During the banquet, the ladies kept looking at Song Lingyue's clothes, and wanted to ask her where they were ordered, but they couldn't speak on such an occasion, so they only looked at her with blank eyes.

Song Lingyue took in their eyes, but deliberately ignored them, and only frequently drank with them to make friends, these were all potential guests of her clothing shop, and she had to take this opportunity to envelop them.

The banquet ended in the second half of the night, and the guests got in the car and left, and Nicholas Chen helped the half-drunk Song Lingyue back to the bedroom, settled her on his bed, and asked people to send two bowls of sobering soup, feeding her and talking to her while drinking.

"You're wearing a beautiful dress today, it doesn't seem like I made it for you, where did you buy it?" Nicholas Chen fed her a spoonful of soup and asked.

Song Lingyue raised the pillow higher, covered her temples with one hand, and said lightly: "It's too difficult to make clothes in the next year, and it's not good to trouble you, so I found a little tailor to make it, and his skills are not bad." She didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Nicholas Chen would investigate her, so she lied.

Nicholas Chen didn't care about these things, remembered what she had been busy with in the past few days, and asked again, "I heard that you have been busy with the import of fabrics recently, and you have run several cloth farms in Kyoto, what, are you planning to do a cloth business?" ”

Song Lingyue shook her head and smiled: "No, how can I have that ability, but I just want to buy some good fabrics to make clothes, the commander gave me so much money, if I don't make a few more clothes, wouldn't I live up to the commander's kindness." ”

Chen Tingfeng took a sip of soup, didn't answer, and didn't know what he was thinking, Song Lingyue was a little apprehensive in her heart, thinking that he had guessed something, and was about to ask, Chen Tingfeng spooned another spoonful of soup and handed it to her mouth.

Song Lingyue pouted dissatisfiedly, "Don't drink it." Pushed his hand away.

Nicholas Chen snorted and handed it over again, "Why don't you drink it?" You've drunk too much wine tonight, and if you don't drink some soup, you're going to wake up sick tomorrow morning. ”

Song Lingyue's head shook like a rattle, and she was coquettish again, "Commander, I really don't want to drink anymore, I drink too much, my stomach is about to hurt." ”

"Okay, okay, then don't drink it." Nicholas Chen really compromised, took the remaining half bowl and put it on the coffee table outside, and came back to continue to accompany her.

Song Lingyue was already sleepy and dizzy, Chen Tingfeng didn't leave, and she didn't dare to fall asleep, in case he had any crooked thoughts, she couldn't escape.

Chen Tingfeng didn't know if he saw through her thoughts, he deliberately didn't leave, and gossiped around, Song Lingyue couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him.

"Commander, why don't you go to sleep yet? Do you want to let me, the guest, speak with you all night? ”

Chen Tingfeng held her little hand with both hands, kissed it to the mouth, and whispered: "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, I want you to accompany me to keep the year, you will be twenty years old soon, I will be twenty-eight years old, but I have not yet started a family." ”

Song Lingyue said in a daze, "Then why doesn't the commander marry a wife?" With such a large mansion, there should be a hostess. ”

Nicholas Chen snorted coldly, "How can it be so easy, I am unstable at the moment, do you think these powerful people are willing to take the risk of marrying their daughters to me?" ”

The conversation changed again, and there was a little coldness in his tone, "But when everything is stable, I don't need these women anymore, you say, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

Song Lingyue didn't want to talk to him about this, he was the same as Xia Yeqing, the career relationship was more important than anything else, such a cold marriage, she would rather be single until she was old than want the slightest.

"Commander, I'm really tired, let me rest, okay?"

Nicholas Chen also knew that she didn't want to hear it, nodded and allowed her, "Okay, then you can sleep!" I'll go to the next room, and tomorrow morning, I'll wait for you for breakfast. ”

Song Lingyue snorted, heard him go out, and the door was closed, so she turned over and fell asleep.

Xia Mansion, Xia Yeqing sat in the study, looking at the fireworks blooming outside, with mixed feelings, this time last year, he and Song Lingyue watched the fireworks together, and he still clearly remembered what she said,

"It is possible to live forever in the family, but it is probably impossible to be bland."

Now a year has passed, she has long been gone, Kyoto said that it is not big, it is not small, but he has not had a chance to meet her, and he doesn't even know her life and death, maybe this is fate, and missing is missing.

The door of the study was pushed open, and the eldest lady entered, wearing a coat of fire fox fur, which was even more graceful and luxurious, and she showed her face as soon as she spoke.

"Son, are you playing hide and seek?"

Xia Yeqing helped her to the sofa and sat down, with a gentle smile on her handsome face, "Mom, I was playing hide and seek, I didn't expect to be found by you, have you eaten dumplings?" ”

The eldest lady nodded, grabbed his sleeve like a child, and asked with a chirp, "Son, why hasn't Xiaoyue come back yet?" Did you beat her away? ”

Xia Yeqing smiled bitterly, this was right by her, and she was really beaten away by him, but she couldn't say this in front of her mother, for fear of stimulating her, she casually made up a lie.

"It's not me who ran away, it's that she doesn't like it here, so she was given her freedom."

The eldest lady pursed her lips and clubbed him with her fingers, "Little villain, deceive, you are a little villain, beat away my little moon, villain!" ”

Xia Yeqing squatted down in front of her, staring at her with black jewel-like eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, do you miss her too?" Want to know if she's doing well? ”

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and then returned to her wooden appearance, muttering for a while, Xia Yeqing couldn't hear what she said, so she had to tell Chun Tao to help her back to the pavilion and let her go back to rest.

Before sending the eldest lady away, Adjutant Zhang came to the study, took an invitation, and put it on the table.

"Chief Executive, Chief Zhao's post invited you to go to Jinkaimen on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, this is the second time he has invited, do you still want to refuse?"

Xia Yeqing took a look at the post, frowned and asked, "Is there still that Nicholas Chen this time?" With him, I won't go. ”

Adjutant Zhang laughed twice, "Chief Zhao has already understood, you and this surnamed Chen don't deal with each other, the first time I was deflated, this time I have a long memory, and I didn't invite the surname Chen." ”

Xia Yeqing raised his hand and slammed the post on the table, and snorted coldly: "This surnamed Chen is too ambitious, and he still wants to win me over and dream of his Spring and Autumn Festival, but Lao Tzu just won't give him face." If you want to get a piece of the pie in Kyoto, it's not so easy, and you dare to do something to me, I will let him go around sooner or later. ”

Adjutant Zhang saw that he was angry, and hurriedly began to appease, "Don't bother with him, the chief minister, this surnamed Chen, in addition to being able to play a role in pulling relationships, he doesn't have any big skills, Kyoto is close to us, he can't pull it away, and if it's far away from us, it doesn't matter if he pulls it away." ”

Xia Yeqing didn't agree with this, tapped a finger on the table, and said slowly: "If you think so, then underestimate this Chen Tingfeng, he is a careful person, President Zhao has worked so hard for him, it seems that he has been bribed." Don't say that women are useless, this beautiful woman is better than a gun when she says a word. ”

Adjutant Zhang glared at him and said in surprise: "According to what you say, he still has a purpose for praising this woman Jin Kaimen?" I heard that the one called the moon.,It looks like a fairy.,And said that it's the first lady in Kyoto.,I thought it was just a dance lady.,I didn't expect it to be so powerful.。 ”

"Have you seen her? What kind of woman is she? Xia Yeqing asked.

Adjutant Zhang shook his head, with a look of disdain, "I haven't seen it, the woman in that kind of place is nothing more than a higher level of charm, if you want to see her, it's just a matter of spending a little money." ”

Xia Yeqing waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm not interested in that kind of woman, as for this post, I'll come back to him another day, let me think about it first." ”
