037 Respect each other as guests
"Miao Shaoqing?" Jun Qing's blue eyes flashed slightly, and the emotions under his eyes were restrained, and only a shallow smile appeared on his lips. Polite but faintly detached.
She investigated Cui Tai's case in order to exonerate Father Jun, but the purpose of Dali Temple was to make Father Jun guilty. In a sense, the positions of the two of them are hostile. At this time, I met Miao Youxin, and I don't know if it is good or bad.
"Hey, Miao Youxin." Jiang Yufan never had so many thoughts, and saw a surprise in the eyes of the old man: "It's a coincidence that I can actually meet you." ”
Miao Youxin smiled: "I live in Shengpingfang, which is not a coincidence." You have come here ....... ”
Miss Eight said that she was tired of looking at the jewelry fabrics in Daxing City, and wanted to look elsewhere. After walking, we arrived at Sheng Pingfang. ”
Jiang Yufan was about to speak, but he listened to Jun Qinglan's rapid and sonorous words, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and explained the reason in one breath. He secretly glanced at Jun Qinglan, the smile on the man's honey-colored cheeks was slightly blooming, gentle and harmless, where was the slightest panic and guilt. He understood as soon as his mind moved, Jun Qinglan didn't want Miao Youxin to know their intentions.
But......
He looked sideways at Jiang Ying. He has been with Jun Qinglan for so long, and it is not a problem to have such an idea. But today is a very unstable factor, in case Jiang Ying is not clear, how can he say that he leaked his mouth?
"Yanjing City is really getting more and more disappointing." Jiang Ying pouted: "After walking for such a long time, I don't even have a piece of jewelry and clothing that can make people look at it." I'm going to die of exhaustion when I walk. ”
Jiang Yufan was dumbfounded. It turns out that the eighth sister is so smart?
"I see there's a teahouse in front of me, why don't you go and rest and walk around?" Jun Qinglan raised her eyes and looked around, pointed to the tea shop on the side of the road and the tea shop flying in the breeze and said with a smile.
"Go there?" Jiang Ying frowned, unconcealing the disgust in her eyes.
"Why bother?" Miao Youxin smiled: "My house is not far from here, since you are all at the door of the house, why don't you go to the house and sit down?" It's not me boasting, your sister-in-law makes a good dish. How about I do it today? ”
Jiang Yufan looked at Jun Qinglan: "Look? "This kind of thing has to be called to her to make decisions.
"Then there is Brother Lao Miao." Jun Qinglan smiled and thanked him.
Miao Youxin drank in a roadside tavern and led everyone to his house. When he reached a courtyard in the southeast of the street corner, Miao Youxin stopped and opened the door: "It's here, please come in." ”
Miao Youxin's courtyard has three entrances, and there is a stone wall of welcoming pine, which half-covers the situation in the courtyard. After turning the wall, you can see two neat rows of purple banyan trees planted twice on the bluestone brick road. At this moment, the purple banyan flowers are blooming just right, and the strings are hanging upside down like tiny bells swaying, and the breath is full of light floral fragrance.
"Wow, it's beautiful." Jiang Ying was the first to look straight, staring at the purple cloud-like canopy with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Miao Youxin, your yard is good." Jiang Yufan slapped Miao Youxin the shoulder: "Clean up a house for me another day, and ask me to borrow it for a few days." ”
"Huh." Miao Youxin's smile was honest but warm: "Don't you have to laugh." This is all the credit of the insider, where do I know how to take care of these flowers and plants? ”
"Aru." As he spoke, Miao Youxin bypassed the front hall and shouted towards the backyard: "There are guests coming, hurry up and come out to meet." ”
After a short time, I heard the sound of a woman's shredded footsteps. When they looked up, there was a slender and thin woman. The man had a goose egg face, and some rouge was lightly applied to his cheeks, showing a somewhat ruddy complexion. Wearing a rose purple sunflower pattern plain gauze gown. The workmanship of the dress was exquisite, but it was a pity that she was so thin that she put a good dress on her body like a child who mistakenly wore an adult's clothes. At first glance, it seems that there is air on all sides.
"This is the inner man Aru." Miao Youxin saw her come out, and immediately put down the wine jar in his hand. He pulled her hand and introduced her with a smile: "These are my strong friends in the yamen. That's Jiang Yufan Jiang Xiaoye, that is Jun Qinglan. This is the eighth lady of the Jiang family. ”
Miao has Nobunaga's stoutness, and his voice was surprisingly loud in the past. At this moment, he deliberately lowered his voice, and whispered softly in Aru's ear. There was a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his lips were always hooked.
The people looked at them, but no one spoke. Aru is not a beauty who stands out, at best she can be regarded as an upper-middle-class figure, and she has a thin handful of bones, which seems to be blown down by the wind. Miao Youxin took good care of her, as if she was a treasure in the palm of her hand. I'm afraid that if I talk a little louder, my sweetheart will be frightened.
Such a couple is really enviable.
Aru pulled his fingers out of Miao Youxin's hand, lowered his head and saluted everyone: "I've seen all the adults." I always hear my husband mention you. ”
"Aru, I'm going to leave them here for dinner today. You go and see what's in the kitchen, pick up some good stuff and make it. ”
Ah Ru promised to turn around and leave, but asked Jun Qinglan to open her mouth and stay: "Sister-in-law Miao, stay here, how embarrassing are we people to disturb for no reason." Why don't I go and give you a hand? ”
"That's not going to happen." Miao Youxin said: "The kitchen is all women's work, what are you going to do as a man?" ”
"In the past, when I was in Yizhuang, I always helped my father cook, which was nothing. There are a lot of us, and if I don't help, I'll have to make Sister-in-law Miao suffer. Is Lord Shaoqing willing? ”
As soon as she finished saying this, Miao Youxin's face immediately changed, and she said in a loud voice: "You go quickly." ”
Jun Qinglan smiled and followed Aru away. The two came to the kitchen one after the other, and Jun Qinglan took the selected vegetables and eggs for Aru to clean. At that end, Aru began to clean up the cleaned materials.
Jun Qinglan looked at her beside her, and praised for a long time: "No wonder Brother Miao is always full of praise for sister-in-law, you are really amazing." ”
Aru was embarrassed by her praise, and her cheeks flushed: "It's all women's work, where can I be an adult's praise." ”
Jun Qinglan smiled and said a few polite words to her, and suddenly changed the conversation: "I see that this rose-purple dress on my sister-in-law is really good-looking, I don't know where to do it?" Before coming, Miss Jiang Ba had helped in the next big favor. I was thinking about what was the best gift for her, and now I have an idea when I see my sister-in-law's clothes. I'm going to buy a nice piece of clothing and material for her. Women probably like this. ”
"You're right." Aru said: "Who woman doesn't want to dress up beautifully? However, although my clothes look good, they are just objects worn by us ordinary people. Miss Jiang is a golden jade, where can I look at this? ”
"Sister-in-law doesn't know, it's Miss Eight who asked me to ask you. Otherwise, how can I follow like this? The girl's eyelids are shallow, and her face is even shallow. She was embarrassed to ask you in person, so she entrusted me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to follow you to the backyard? ”
Aru smiled: "I'll just say, where is the kitchen where you men should come?" That's why. ”
Jun Qinglan arched her hand and said, "Please ask Sister-in-law Miao to help, and ask me to return this favor immediately." ”
"You're welcome." Aru glanced at the clothes on her body and hooked the corners of her lips, as if she was very satisfied with today's outfit: "My clothes are made in Deng Ji Silk Village under the big elm tree in the southernmost part of our Shengpingfang." To say that although the material of this Deng Ji Silk Village is not as good as the big shop in Daxing City, it can also be regarded as one of the finest in the four squares of our inner city. ”
Jun Qinglan's heart lit up when she heard this: "This feeling is good, I'll go there to take a look after eating in a while." ”
"I'm afraid it won't work these days." Aru looked at her and said, "Shopkeeper Deng hasn't opened a shop for several days. I heard that he was seriously ill, so that the Deng family was cold in the past few days. Day by day, I just watched the cart of paper horse incense candles pulled in, and the big guys guessed that they were afraid of ......"
Aru stopped talking and sighed heavily.
Jun Qinglan frowned slightly, the Deng family wants to do white things? Who died? It can't be Deng Chunwang!
Cui Tai's case was only found in Ah Yong, and the two of them were burned clean by a fire. finally pulled out the line of Deng Chunwang, don't die again!
"How was Shopkeeper Deng in the past?"
"Very good." Aru said: "Don't look at him in his early forties, his spirit is not much better than that of young people in their twenties. Settle accounts and purchase goods without the intervention of outsiders. It is probably because of this that Leng Buding became seriously ill when he got sick. ”
"I heard that he is going to recruit his daughter into the house?"
"Not really." Aru said: "Shopkeeper Deng is shrewd and capable, but he only has two daughters. The eldest daughter got married a few years ago, leaving only the younger one by her side. That Miss Deng Er is knowledgeable and smart and capable, and she came up with all the patterns of the Deng family's silk and satin. Shopkeeper Deng was reluctant to marry her far away, so he moved the idea of finding a son-in-law. chose a guy in their shop whose parents died and had no relatives and no reason, and he had heard that he was going to get married. Somehow, there hasn't been any movement until now. ”
Jun Qinglan groaned and did not speak.
Chang Gui said that Deng Chunwang was a miser who regarded money as his life, and after listening to Aru, it was true. said that he was mentally strong, and he didn't use outsiders to settle accounts and purchase, but he didn't want the economic lifeline to fall into the hands of others. refuses to marry off his daughter like a cash cow in order to prevent the fertilizer from flowing into the fields of outsiders. Choose a guy who has no foundation because that kind of person is easy to handle, and he will not give birth to any unnecessary side thoughts.
"If I find Deng Kee today, can I buy a suitable fabric garment?" Jun Qinglan's voice was not loud, but it was just enough for Ah Ru to hear.
Aru smiled: "This is really uncertain. ”
"Let's try our luck later." Jun Qinglan looked at Aru: "Please ask Sister-in-law Miao to keep this matter secret." After all, if the noble girl next to her knew that Miss Eight actually liked ordinary objects in the market, she would be laughed at. ”
"I understand." Aru nodded and said, "Don't worry, except for you and me, no one else will know." Even my husband won't know. ”
Jun Qinglan thanked him, and the two didn't talk again. Aru was very quick with his hands and feet, and he didn't make much effort and boiled a large pot of cherry wine. The light pink and crystal glutinous rice balls fall in the soup full of wine. Aru sprinkled some sun-dried peach petals into it, and decorated a bowl of wine so that people could look at it.
"Okay?" Jun Qinglan looked happy: "I'll send it out." ”
"Wait."
