"Grandma Qian from the Qian antique shop?" One of the concubines suddenly said, "Listening to what you say, it's as if there is no man in his family." ”

One of Xue Qianqian's sisters-in-law who returned to her parents' house today said: "There is indeed no man in his family. The money shopkeeper of the Qian antique shop died early, and the grandmother took over the shop. Alas...... Speaking of which, that grandmother Qian seems to be less than thirty, and she is quite beautiful, such a woman runs a shop alone......"

Speaking of this, Xue Qianqian's sister immediately covered her mouth, but everyone else understood the sound outside the strings, covered her mouth and sneered.

Xue Qianqian also laughed with others, but Xue Qianqian's smile was very terrifying.

Tan Wenshi's side was lively, and suddenly someone came to spread the word, saying that Xue Qianqian asked Tan Wenshi to come over.

Tan Wenshi complained very dissatisfied: "She's busy here, what's the mess she's making!" While complaining, he reluctantly walked to the courtyard where Xue Qianqian was said to be waiting for him, and muttered: "She'd better tell me something important, otherwise I'll have to get angry!" ”

Xue Qianqian was waiting for Tan Wenshi in her former boudoir. Ever since she got married, it had been uninhabited, and her favorite objects had been moved, making it a somewhat empty place. Xue Qianqian's fingers ran over the table she had used, only to see that a thin layer of dust had accumulated on it.

If she found out that there was ash in her house in normal times, she would have been angry and blamed the slave for neglecting her, but today she always just sat on the chair with a cold face and waited for Tan Wenshi, without saying a word.

The maid beside her saw that Xue Qianqian was not angry, and her nervous expression eased slightly, but when she looked at Xue Qianqian's face at the moment, she instantly became nervous again.

Tan Wenshi, who was full of alcohol, stepped into the room and complained dissatisfiedly: "I'm busy in front, why did you call me over?" Then he poured himself a cup of tea to relieve his hangover, saw the mandala placed by the teapot, and asked, "Why haven't you asked people to send this flower to the front?" ”

Xue Qianqian didn't seem to hear it, picked up her teacup and took a sip, suddenly glanced down, and said leisurely: "The road on a snowy day is muddy, and I stained my good pair of shoes." ”

The maid on the side instantly understood after hearing this, squatted down and took out a handkerchief to polish Xue Qianqian's shoes.

Xue Qianqian suddenly raised her foot, and the squatting maid immediately fell backwards, and Xue Qianqian scolded dissatisfiedly: "Why can't you even squat?" ”

Biying didn't dare to squeak, just squatted again, her shoulders were already shaking, but she lowered her head and planned to continue to shine Xue Qianqian's shoes, but she was kicked down by Xue Qianqian again, Xue Qianqian glared angrily: "Can't you understand my words?" I said you can't squat! ”

Biying raised her head helplessly, her eyes were red, she still didn't understand Xue Qianqian's thoughts, and Tan Wenshi understood what Xue Qianqian meant, so she said to Biying: "Madam said that you can't squat, then you kneel, isn't it stable when you kneel." ”

Biying then understood, and immediately knelt down in fear, hung her head and took a handkerchief to wipe Xue Qianqian's shoes, but before she touched Xue Qianqian's shoes, Xue Qianqian said in disgust: "Who knows what your handkerchief has been used for, don't stain my shoes again!" ”

Biying had no choice but to put down the handkerchief and rub it with her sleeves, Xue Qianqian was still dissatisfied: "Your sleeves are all fluffy, and they look rough at first glance, if you scratch my embroidered shoes, you can't afford to pay for your life!" ”

Biying had no choice but to stretch out her hand and wipe the mud spots on Xue Qianqian's shoes with her hands, and finally finished wiping the upper of her shoes, and Xue Qianqian actually stood up the soles of her shoes again!

On such a snowy day, Xue Qianqian's soles were full of mud mixed with snow water and mud, and because it was a snowy day, the mud on the soles was naturally cold and cold.

Biying bit her lip and wiped the soles of Xue Qianqian's shoes, and when the soles were dry, Biying's hands were already full of flowing muddy water, and the skin that had been frozen red was exposed where there was no muddy water.

Xue Qianqian said with satisfaction: "Stupid is a little stupid, but the work is quite clean, no wonder the master likes you so much, he deliberately transferred you from his brother to serve, and changed your cheesy name from the past, Biying has become Biying, do you feel that the master values you?" ”

Biying didn't dare to speak at all, Tan Wenshi said with a smile: "It's just a maid, if you can't get used to it, just dispose of it, why bother to annoy yourself by putting it in front of you." ”

Xue Qianqian's eyes looked at Tan Wenshi, sneered, and said, "I just said a few words to her, and you are so anxious to speak for her?" Why don't I fulfill you today and take her for you? Let the two of you fly together, and save yourself from sneaking around under my nose every day. ”

Tan Wenshi asked with a smile: "You called me over because of this?" ”

Tan Wenshi waved his hand, sent Biying out, put his hand on Xue Qianqian's shoulder, and said, "Didn't I promise you, from now on you are the only one, how can you worry about any maid?" If she bothers you, you can kick her out, or kill her, or sell her in a kiln, so you should be angry, right? ”

"I'm the only one?" Xue Qianqian looked at Tan Wenshi, asked with a smile, and then said, "You ate almonds by mistake a few days ago and vomited several times, but now you are all right?" ”

Tan Wenshi said with a smile: "I know that you are the most sincere to me, and you are still worried about me." Don't worry, I know what you're going to say, I'm going to eat less wine and drink more porridge today. ”

Xue Qianqian said coldly: "Yes, you should drink less wine, otherwise if you drink too much and spit out the truth after drinking, what should you do?" ”

Tan Wenshi frowned and was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Xue Qianqian's yin and yang were weird: "You said that when you were talking to others about business, you mistakenly ate almonds as fruits, and I don't know who you still had almonds with you when you negotiated business." ”

Tan Wenshi said calmly: "It's not with almonds. It was in a teahouse, I ordered candied nuts, and Xiao Er made a mistake, and it was candied almonds. The things that had been pickled in honey were all the same color, and I didn't recognize them, so I ate them. ”

Xue Qianqian asked: "I don't know which teahouse it is, so carelessly, it almost killed you." ”

Tan Wenshi was unfazed: "It's the teahouse I often go to." The new kid in the teahouse is a kid who has just come out of the country, and he is frizzy. If you don't believe me, just go to the teahouse and ask. ”

Xue Qianqian said disdainfully: "You are a regular customer, even if there is no such thing, as long as you explain to the teahouse, they will help you deceive me, right?" ”

Tan Wenshi frowned: "What's wrong with you?" Why am I lying to you if I have nothing to do? Tan Wenshi immediately closed the door and picked up Xue Qianqian, who was a little reluctant, kissing and coaxing, which made Xue Qianqian's face turn red, and he hit Tan Wenshi with shame and anger. Tan Wenshi smiled and asked, "Are you still angry?" Still suspicious of me? ”

Xue Qianqian "snorted", her face couldn't help but smile, Tan Wenshi let go of her, but kissed her left and right several times, so close that Xue Qianqian finally couldn't help but laugh, changed the topic, and said: "Okay, you go to the bar, I'll give this flower to my father in a while, and beg my father to give this flower to Yao Sanxing for you." ”

Tan Wenshi hugged Xue Qianqian and said sweetly: "I know that you are the most sincere to me." ”

"Don't worry, I asked my father to give this flower to Yao Sanxing for you in front of others, those merchants saw that my father had come forward, who would dare to fight with you. Besides, since Yao Sanxing is willing to come to Xue's Mansion, he also has the heart of wanting to form an alliance with my father, and for my father's face, Yao Sanxing will definitely talk to you about the deal, and you can use this matter to show your loyalty to the third master. ”

Tan Wenshi smiled and nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, the baby I gave your father, can you take care of it for me?" Have you hidden it from your mother-in-law? ”

Xue Qianqian whispered: "Don't worry, that old woman was hidden by me." My dad likes the kind of baby you picked, so let's ask him to help us win over Yao Sanxing today, and my dad will be happy. ”

"That's good." Tan Wenshi smiled and kissed Xue Qianqian a few times, then left the house and went back to the front hall, as soon as he walked out of the room, the smile on his face instantly became gloomy, and when he was uncertain, he suddenly saw a figure wrapped in silver.

Ning Xia Qingzheng stood in front of him, smiling gently, and Tan Wenshi was suddenly stunned.

Ningxia Qingfu was blessed, and Wen Yan said: "Tan Ye vomited that day, and now he is much better?" I just saw that Tan Ye drank a lot of wine, if the spleen and stomach are not good, it is better to drink less wine. ”

Tan Wenshi's eyes flashed excitedly, but a black shadow flashed from the side, Tan Wenshi could only clench his fists tightly, and pretended to be calm and said, "It's much better, thank you Miss Ning for worrying about me." ”

"That'll be fine." Ningxia Qing smiled gently.

Tan Wenshi couldn't help asking, "Why is Miss Ning here?" Not in the lobby? ”

Ningxia Qing said flatly: "I'm not good at drinking, and I'm a little dizzy after drinking a little, so come and take a walk and wake up the wine." Is Tan Ye going back to the front hall? Then Tan Ye, please take care of yourself. ”

Tan Wenshi nodded: "Then I'll go back first." It's cold today, and it's snowing, so Miss Ning should go back to the front hall early, don't suffer the cold. I looked at Miss Ning as if she was a little empty when she spoke, don't be cold. Then he said to Cuiyu: "Take care of your girl." Then he went alone.

Ning Ningqing was stunned, and he didn't seem to be out of shape, so he had to take a few steps stiffly in the opposite direction of the front hall.

She looked at the snow scene with a sad expression, only to see that the surroundings were white, the smell of snow was only cold, everything was buried, everything was disappearing, and even her heart was covered with a layer of cold snow.

Soon.

"Miss Ning." Xue Qianqian suddenly called Ningxia Qing from a distance, and then approached Ningxia Qing, as if she had come to Ningxia Qing on purpose, and greeted her: "Does Miss Ning still know me?" We've met in the Gu Mansion before. ”

Ning Xia Qing greeted with a smile: "Miss Xue." As soon as he covered his mouth, he smiled and said, "Look, I forgot, I should change my name to Mrs. Tan." Ning Xia Qing sighed and said politely: "Tan Ye was happy before, I should have go, but it was the funeral period of my late father, and it was inconvenient for me to be there, so I had to ask an uncle from my family to go to congratulate me on my behalf." ”

"It's okay, Miss Ning doesn't have to mind." Xue Qianqian said: "It's Ning's shopkeeper's business...... I heard my grandfather say that the matter of Ning as the shopkeeper is really regrettable. ”

Ning Xia Qing was silent, looking a little sad, Xue Qianqian immediately said: "I'm sorry, it's me who can't speak, which aroused Miss Ning's sadness." ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled: "It's okay. ”

Xue Qianqian took a deep breath and asked calmly: "Just now, a maid told me that she saw Miss Ning talking to my grandfather, and I heard Miss Ning say that my grandfather vomited. How? Does Miss Ning also know about this? ”

Ning Ningqing immediately changed his face, stroked his chest and said: "No, it really scared me at the time, fortunately I saw Tan Ye well today, to be honest, as soon as I think of the events of that day, I have palpitations." ”

Xue Qianqian smiled coldly and asked, "How did Miss Ning meet my grandfather?" I heard that Miss Ning opened a shop called Hua Cai Yuan, could it be that my grandfather was near Hua Cai Yuan that day? ”

Ning Xia Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't see Tan Ye near Huacai Garden. In fact, there was a guy in my family who took a leave of absence that day, so I had to go out to deliver the goods in person, and when I passed by the Qian antique shop, because I knew Grandma Qian before, I wanted to say hello to Grandma Qian, and I met Tan Ye. ”

Xue Qianqian smiled when she heard this, her smile was bright but stiff, so she looked very terrifying. Xue Qianqian asked softly, "Isn't Miss Ning a guest of the Xue Mansion today?" Why didn't you come here in the antechamber? ”

Ning Ningqing's face flushed, and he whispered: "I've been feeling a cold recently, I just drank some wine, and I feel a little unwell, so I want to come to blow the wind, and look at the snow by the way, who knows that this Xue Mansion is too big, and I get lost while walking." ”

Ning Xia Qing said a little shyly: "I just asked a maid for directions, but the maid didn't know where the front hall was." Then I saw another maid, but before I could scream, the maid ran away. Later, I wanted to go back to the front hall with Tan Ye, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was quite inconvenient for men and women to go together. So, can Mrs. Tam take me back to the front room? ”

Xue Qianqian smiled slightly: "The front hall is very close to here, you just can't find the direction." Xue Qianqian pointed forward: "You go around the hanging flower gate in front and go to the right." I'll show you the way, so you don't have to be walked by, right? ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Tan." Ning Ningqing thanked politely, Xue Qianqian returned the salute, turned his head and left, his steps looked like a military general who was about to go into battle, and the momentum was terrifying.

Then, from Xue Qianqian's former boudoir, there was the sound of smashing things, as well as the sound of scissors frantically opening and closing.

The delicate, blooming, and thousand-tael mandala turned into a scattered remnant of flowers.
