Chapter 57: Swimming in the Lake
Song Xinshu blinked his eyes and said, "Godmother means ......"
Fan took Song Xinshu's hand and said: "In a few days, I have a sister who is going to celebrate her birthday, and the third floor of your teahouse has not been opened, I want to ask if it can be held in your teahouse, they all like to eat pastries in the teahouse."
Song Xinshu thought it was something, but it turned out to be this little thing, she waved her hand and said, "I will definitely help you do this little thing!" ”
Fan smiled happily, she didn't have too many thoughts about Song Xinshu, she was already very happy to have such a person who could talk and laugh by her side.
"Why haven't I seen my godfather this time, I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Your godfather invited someone to drink, on the gazebo by the Ming Lake, I don't want to listen to the twists and turns of their officialdom, it's better to be comfortable at home."
Song Xinshu thought about it in his heart, grabbed Fan's arm and said, "Godmother, it's strange to think that I haven't seen my godfather for a long time, at this season, the lotus flowers in the lake should be in full bloom, right?" ”
Fan thought for a while and said, "Indeed, then I will go with you to find your godfather and swim in the lake by the way." ”
Song Xinshu clapped his hands happily, Zhang Guodong got acquainted with dignitaries, her purpose was definitely not to be trapped in this small Jinling City, she must go to a bigger place.
It would be best if you could meet more useful people, and there would be places where they could be used in the future.
Fan changed his clothes and set off in a sedan chair with Song Xinshu.
This is Song Xinshu's first time riding a sedan chair, and it was very novel at first, but after sitting for a long time, he found that this sedan chair was not as stable as in TV, and he had a feeling of motion sickness after sitting for a long time.
Finally arrived at the destination, Song Xinshu jumped down and took a few breaths of fresh air, only to feel that the river and the sea in his abdomen were better.
She turned around and helped Fan's arm to get off the sedan chair, looked around silently, and saw Zhang Guodong drinking and chatting with people in the pavilion by the lake, so she walked over with Fan.
She saw from a distance that the person sitting next to Zhang Guodong was very familiar, and when she walked in, she saw that the person was Zheng Tianyi.
She and Fan walked to the side of the two, Zhang Guodong saw his wife and goddaughter, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and said: "Tianyi, this is my goddaughter, and now she is the shopkeeper of Subei Tea House." ”
Zheng Tianyi stood up and saluted Fan's and called "cousin".
Song Xinshu was so shocked that her eyes were about to fall, Zheng Tianyi was actually Taishou's cousin, she didn't know anything before!
After Zheng Tian and his entourage saluted, he said to Zhang Guodong: "Now in Jinling City, Subei Tea House is famous, and the business is many times better than before, which is really enviable." ”
Zhang Guodong said: "You are obsessed with poetry and books all day long, and you don't take care of business matters very much, and it is rare for you to have such leisure and leisure, and you can stay in this small Jinling City for so long." ”
Zheng Tianyi smiled and said, "No matter how you say that this Jinling City is also next to the capital, it's not too boring." ”
Song Xinshu sat beside the two of them, silently listening to the conversation between the two, always feeling that they had something to say, but he didn't know what it meant.
Fan was not very interested in their conversation, and beckoned Song Xinshu to eat fruit: "Xinshu, eat some grapes, this is sent by someone else from the countryside, it is very sweet." ”
Song Xinshu picked a grape and put it in his mouth, and asked Fan in a low voice: "Godmother, why haven't you heard that you have a cousin before?" ”
"He was entrusted to us by his mother a few years ago, and then he opened a restaurant in Jinling City, and he was also happy, and we didn't care much about him on weekdays, but fortunately, this cousin didn't cause trouble, but he was also very obedient."
Song Xinshu nodded, thinking in his heart that this Zheng Tianyi is really good at acting, obviously he has a black belly, but he barely pretends to be well-behaved among the elders.
In my ears is Zhang Guodong and Zheng Tianyi, you are chatting back and forth, she and Fan from time to time to say a few words, although Fan is nearly middle-aged, but the maintenance is very good, the skin can be broken by blowing, and the person is dignified and generous.
Taishou is really blessed to have such a wife, Song Xinshu looked at it and lost his mind, Fan looked at her and looked at himself, and said, "Xinshu, what are you doing looking at me like this?" ”
Song Xinshu did not shy away from saying: "Because my godmother is so good-looking, I can't help but want to take a few more looks." ”
As soon as her words fell, Zheng Tianyi spoke: "Shopkeeper Song is also very good-looking, and he can be said to be the best-looking businessman in Jinling City, which is incomparable to those rude men." ”
Song Xinshu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to say such a thing in front of Taishou and his wife, and hurriedly explained: "Shopkeeper Zheng, I am already a person with a husband." ”
The implication of Song Xinshu's words is, please respect yourself.
The expression on Zheng Tian's face did not change, he looked at Song Xinshu and said: "Just like the shopkeeper of Song praising the ancient tomb, it is human nature to praise beautiful things, and there is no other meaning. ”
Song Xinshu pulled out a smile awkwardly and said, "No matter what, I am also a married woman, so to avoid misunderstanding, it is better to explain in advance." ”
Talking to Zheng Tianyi, he always can't take advantage, his words seem to be not only amorous but also sensitive, Song Xinshu silently clenched his back molars.
Zhang Guodong and Fan looked at each other and smiled, these two elves and eccentric people got together, and it seemed that they had a chat.
Fan's father invited Zhang Guodong and his wife to go home for dinner in the evening, and left early, leaving only Song Xinshu and Zheng Tianyi to enjoy the scenery by the lake, and a small servant stood not far away, waiting to listen to Zheng Tianyi's orders.
After the elders left, Song Xinshu relaxed his body, propped his arms on the table, supported his chin, and looked at the sparkling lake and the blooming lotus flowers.
Although it is not as well repaired as a modern garden, the scenery everywhere is original, and the trees around the lake are dense, and from time to time there is a gust of wind blowing, and the mood is blown away by the wind.
Zheng Tianyi also looked at the scenery in the distance, and said: "It's all here, it's a pity not to go boating and appreciating the lotus, I don't know if there is such an honor to go boating with the shopkeeper Song?" ”
Song Xinshu is busy with the business of the store on weekdays, and rarely has the opportunity to come out to play, but today is free anyway, just enjoying the lotus with this nasty ghost, which is really a headache.
But now there is no better choice but to swim in the lake with the man in front of you.
The two of them boarded the boat, and there was no one else except two or three old fishers on the other side of the lake.
The lotus flowers in the middle of the lake bloomed the most, Xiao Zheng Tianyi rowed a boat into the depths of the lotus flowers, the fragrance of the lotus flowers gradually became rich, Song Xinshu took a deep breath and was completely immersed in it.
Today's continuous busyness actually made her a little unbearable, but the tea house has just started, and she can't rest yet, and this afternoon can be regarded as stealing half a day of leisure.
When the boat rowed into the lotus, Zheng Tianyi put away the oars, stretched his arms and half lay on the other side of the boat, closed his eyes and recuperated.
Looking at the leisurely Zheng Tianyi, Song Xinshu was also suddenly curious, and said: "I heard my godmother, you only moved to Jinling City two years ago, where did you live before that?" ”
"I used to live in the capital." Zheng Tianyi still didn't open his eyes.
"Is the business in the capital easy to do, are there any time-honored pastries there?"
When Zheng Tianyi heard her words, he opened his eyes and looked at her and said, "Such a good scenery, can you think of something that has nothing to do with business, what a bad scenery, and you are so short of money?" And then there's your husband. ”
"Can my husband earn the same as what I earn, and I make money just to find my husband, is it easy to do tea business in the capital?"
Song Xinshu is now full of business, and only by doing business in the capital can he have a chance to find Su Qing.
All she was doing now was to find him and make sure he was safe.
Zheng Tianyi raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said, "There are few pastries in the capital that can be comparable to yours, because no one has ever made your pastry style, and if you open a shop in the capital, it will definitely be all the rage." ”
"What kind of ability is it to be popular, it is good to move the capital by name."
"You're not big, but your ambitions aren't small." originally thought that Song Xinshu was just a heroine among women, but I didn't expect that he had higher ambitions than men.
"You're not just a shopkeeper, are you?" In fact, Song Xinshu is just guessing, and he can't be sure, but listening to the conversation between him and Zhang Guodong, I feel that there must be information in this that the two of them know.
Zheng Tianyi casually folded a lotus flower and put it on the boat and said, "It's just an idler, what's so special?" ”
Song Xinshu saw that he didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask more, but she was sure that there must be some secrets on Zheng Tianyi's body, and she would explore it slowly.
The boat floated at will, and slowly floated to the place where there were people fishing by the lake, Song Xinshu's curiosity came up again, and he went ashore to watch the old man fishing.
The old man recognized Song Xinshu and said excitedly: "Isn't this the shopkeeper of the Northern Jiangsu Tea House?" ”
Song Xinshu was recognized here, and he actually felt a little like an Internet celebrity, scratching his head embarrassedly and said, "It's me, do you recognize me?" ”
"My little granddaughter likes to eat your candy the most, and she is clamoring to eat it all day long, and my son is soft-hearted and has to buy it every once in a while."
Song Xinshu observed that the old man's dress was very ordinary, and there was a patch on the knee of his right leg, and it seemed that his family background was not very good.
Although the dim sum of his tea house is not expensive, it is not something that ordinary people can consume every day, after all, the cost and labor of dim sum milk tea are counted as money.
The old man was happy, picked up a fish in his bamboo basket and handed it to Song Xinshu and said, "Shopkeeper Song, this fish is for you." ”
Song Xinshu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can I accept your fish without merit?" ”
