Chapter 210: Beauty's Scheming (Part II)
On this day, the autumn was crisp and the weather was slightly cold, Chen Run got up early in the morning, took Xiaoxiao out of Chen's Mansion and went to Yuji, like last time, parked Chen's carriage a little farther away, so as not to see it when Qinghong walked back and forth. Recognize her as someone from the Chen family.
The second time they came, the master and servant were familiar with the road, greeted the proprietress and still found the location of the corner last time, this time Chen Run just asked for two bowls of mutton wontons normally, not as shocking as last time.
The two chewed slowly, and halfway through eating, Qinghong came.
Qing Hong caught a glimpse of someone in the corner, subconsciously glanced back, and saw that it was the girl who asked for six bowls of wontons last time, so he focused on what she ate today.
Oh, one bowl per person, it's normal.
He was about to withdraw his gaze, but the girl raised her head, saw that she was looking at her, was stunned, and then raised her eyebrows and glared at him fiercely!
"......" Qinghong was speechless for a moment, quickly retracted his gaze, asked for a bowl of mutton wontons as usual, left his seat after eating, and said hello to the store, everything was so ordinary.
Chen Run was a little stunned, last time she didn't look up at the other party in order not to let Qing Hong be too distracted, but just now she deliberately raised her head and glared at him, and she saw his appearance clearly. I really didn't expect that Qing Hongdu was almost forty years old, and he was extraordinary and gentle.
Xiaoxiao saw that she was a little stunned, thinking that she didn't want to eat, so she asked in a low voice, "Girl, what's wrong?" Can't eat? ”
Chen Run lowered his eyebrows and shook his head, "No ......"
The master and servant chewed slowly and ate a whole bowl of mutton wontons, then nodded with a smile with the proprietress and paid the money and left. The two got into the carriage, and Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Girl, did you just glare at Lord Qing?" ”
"Yes......" Chen Run replied nonchalantly.
"Huh? Are you glaring? That...... Doesn't it disgust him? ”
"No......" Chen Run smiled and said: "If you have nothing to do, you will definitely be considered by the other party as having a plan." On the contrary, shouldn't a girl's house be angry when she is stared at by a man? What I did was a very normal reaction. ”
Xiaoxiao was half-understood...... "On weekdays, the girl's meal is small, so the meat chaos is delicious, and it is as much as the slave maid eats." ”
"If you love to eat, you can eat often, right?"
"Oh...... So, let's go to Wei Ruixuan now? ”
"Well, let's go." Chen Run likes to write, and her handwriting is very beautiful, even Chen Ji praised her for her good handwriting, and the name of a talented woman is real. Usually she also buys pen and ink in Wei Ruixuan.
When I arrived at the place, the housekeeper who was dedicated to the female guests came forward with a smile and said with a smile: "It's the third girl who is here, please inside!" Because she was a frequent visitor, the housekeeper knew Chen Run's preferences, and while she was familiar with the way, she diligently led Chen Run to the private room inside.
Chen Run entered the private room for a while, and the rough girl had already sent all kinds of paper, a few new inks, and a few boxes of pens with different purposes. Xiaoxiao smelled the fragrance from somewhere, so she sniffed the few knives of paper in front of her.
Seeing this, the woman smiled and introduced: "The girl's nose is really smart, this is a newly made sprinkling paper in the shop." When the ingredients are used, a lot of precious spices are added to it, and they are finely ground into powder. However, it took countless efforts to ensure that the paper was as smooth and easy to use as the original. And this fragrance is extremely rare. Compared with what kind of incense and flower juice, I don't know how much better, this smell is fresh and elegant, and it lasts for a long time, three girls, you smell it! ”
Women like this kind of novelty and beauty, and if it can carry some fragrance, it will undoubtedly be more attractive. Chen Run took the paper handed over by Xiaoxiao and smelled it, the aroma was very clear and light, it smelled very good, she twisted it with her hand, and the paper was really very bright, so she nodded and smiled: "It is indeed a good thing...... This is the idea that your hostess came up with? I see that there is still a faint pink on this paper, could it be that this paper can still be dyed? ”
"It's dyed!" It's always very comfortable to talk to people who know the goods, and the housekeeper smiled and said, "However, this is not the idea that the proprietress came up with, it is the recipe that the proprietress bought at a great price!" ”
"Oh?" Chen Run suddenly became interested, "There are such thoughtful people in the world? I don't know if Mama can know? ”
"I know each other, even the eldest girl of the Qing family, and she is also a frequent visitor here, and she is not afraid to tell the girl, many people know about this matter."
"Oh? Lady? Chen Run's heart moved, in the past, she rarely walked out of the house every day, but now she wants to marry into the Qing family, and she can always hear about the Qing Mansion when she goes out, which is really a coincidence.
The housekeeper seems to have told many people about it, and she opened her mouth to come. "Miss Qing is good at calligraphy and painting, and often comes to the small shop to buy paper, pen and ink, but she usually only buys good Bai Xuan, and the store has launched new sprinkler notes several times, she is not very interested, and the proprietress asked curiously."
"Really? What did Miss Qing say? ”
"Miss Qing said, although this sprinkling paper is good, but kneaded with flower juice or incense out of the paper, the aroma can not last long, only look good for a while, but she has a way, not only can make the paper fragrance last forever but also dyed in different colors, and smooth and delicate. When our proprietress heard this, she became interested and asked to see the paper made by Miss Qing herself. The eldest girl didn't refuse, and directly asked her subordinates to go back to the house to get it. As soon as our proprietress saw Miss Qing's paper, her eyes immediately widened, and she couldn't speak! In the words of our hostess, this paper is pink and tender with a fragrance, just like the little girl who is waiting to be released, and it makes people feel pity when they see it! ”
The housekeeper said as if she was next to her, and at the end she clapped her hands and said excitedly: "Our boss lady made a big price at that time, and the eldest girl didn't make a counteroffer, so the business was completed on the spot." In order to allow the masters of the workshop to make this paper, a lot of effort was wasted. So, this paper is a little expensive, but it's totally worth the price! ”
Chen Run blinked, secretly keeping this matter in mind, but he didn't ask much about Qing Ruxu, only said, "Your boss is really good at doing business, and her vision is good, although she has spent a lot of money, but this business will definitely make a profit." ”
The housekeeper smiled and said: "That's right, although our shop is small, it is very popular, and there are many regular customers like the third girl." ”
"Then take a copy according to the usual order, and then pick some of each of these sprinkler notes for me." Chen Run pondered carefully, and picked out a few pens and a few disks of ink.
"Alas! Be. When the housekeeper heard that she wanted to buy it, she smiled and couldn't see her eyes, and instructed the rough girl to fetch things neatly.
Chen Run got up and walked out of the private room, ready to go back to the carriage first. At this time, a person came in front of her, Chen Run lowered his eyes and turned sideways, but the person stopped in front of her. "Third cousin? You...... Are you here to buy something? ”
Chen Run couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the voice, and when he looked up and saw the person coming, he felt a little strange in his heart.
Cheng Shi, the nephew of Mrs. Chen's mother's family, is a cousin with her, and he is three years younger than her. Because he was going to participate in the scientific examination in two years, the eldest lady took him to the capital to adapt. The eldest lady loves this nephew very much, and has always said that she will find him a daughter-in-law in the capital, but Cheng Shi has always refused to agree on the grounds that she wants to take the merit test.
However, Chen Run found that every time this Cheng Shi saw her, there was something different from usual in her eyes, she knew what it was, but she never thought about it.
At the beginning, it was because she was bent on entering the palace, and the other party had such thoughts, so she naturally hid as far as she wanted, so as not to spread any bad rumors and hurt her reputation, so she deliberately ignored the other party's intentions. Now, she has been given marriage by the emperor, and she will marry into the Qing family in the future, which is naturally even more impossible. Although the Qing Mansion cannot have such strict rules as in the palace, she always doesn't want her future husband to misunderstand her.
"It turned out to be Cousin Cheng." Chen Run greeted him with a slight bend of his knees, lowered his eyes, and said politely: "I have already bought it, and I plan to go home, cousin, please take care of yourself." ”
Seeing that she was leaving, Cheng Shi eagerly moved his footsteps to block it: "Cousin, I will go back to the house in a while, why don't you wait for a while, let's go back together?" ”
Chen Run frowned slightly, and quietly stepped aside half a step, feeling that Cheng Shi was too unacquainted, and his tone was even more alienated and cold: "I still have some urgent matters to go back, so I won't wait for my cousin." After that, she turned around and walked out of Wei Ruixuan, because she was in a hurry, and her skirt turned sharply like a blooming peony flower, which made Cheng Shi look stupid.
When he came back to his senses, Chen Run had already left Wei Ruixuan, so he hurriedly got up and chased out. "Cousin, I have something to say to you!"
Chen Run was about to get into the carriage, frowned when he heard the sound, stopped the movement under his feet, and looked around. Because Wei Ruixuan is not in the bustling city, the location is relatively remote, so there are no people around this meeting, and she turned her head to look at Cheng Shi when she saw this.
Cheng Shi wore a jade-colored brocade robe today, with a red brocade silk around his waist, this color is afraid that it is very rustic to wear on others, but he wears it with a youthful and graceful look, which is extremely pleasing to the eye. It's a pity that they are destined to have no fate.
"Is there anything else going on with my cousin?"
Cheng Shi looked at Xiaoxiao, but Xiaoxiao only stood there motionless with her eyes down, and did not intend to retreat. "Cousin, I have a few words......"
"Cousin, just say anything."
Cheng Shi looked at Xiaoxiao in embarrassment, and had to say, "Cousin, are you ...... You're getting married...... I, I shouldn't have ......"
"Since I know that I shouldn't, my cousin should give up." Chen Run raised her firm and bright gaze to look at Cheng Shi, this was the first time she looked at him squarely, she said: "Cousin at this time, you should put your mind on studying, don't live up to the good years." ”
What Chen Run wants has always been clear, and he will never be swayed by anything, even if it is the sudden confession of a handsome and infatuated teenager.
