When the carriage came to the lively street, Luo Shuangyi sat in the carriage, stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain to look at the building not far away, only to see dust outside the store, and a woman in green standing at the door was ordering people to sprinkle water and dust.

"It's Wanqing." Luo Shuangyi's nervous expression was slightly relaxed.

The little county lord poked his head out and looked at it, and couldn't hide his excitement to call Qu Wanqing's name, causing her to look up. The little county lord beckoned happily, pulled Luo Shuangyi out of the carriage, and went straight to the shop that had not yet been repaired.

Qu Wanqing saw the two of them, and her face was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"We came to look for you, I heard that you were not in Qufu, so we came to you on the street." The little county lord explained.

Qu Wan nodded clearly: "I read a copy of the Book of Wood in the house, and I suddenly had some ideas about the renovation of the restaurant, so I came here before I could inform you." But you're just in time, and I'd like to share my thoughts with you. ”

Luo Shuangyi and the little county lord followed behind Qu Wanqing. Entered the restaurant.

There was a smell of sawdust wafting in the restaurant, and the carpenters were concentrating on their work, and when they heard that the owners were coming, they didn't forget to look up and say hello to the three of them.

Zhao Cong saw Luo Shuangyi and the others, and walked over with his feet raised: "Why are you here?" ”

"Of course, let's see how the store is prepared." The little county lord returned in disgust.

Qu Wanqing couldn't wait to speak: "Look, there are six sets of mahogany tables and chairs here, and there are root carved bamboo utensils that can be viewed next to them; Here you can put a few pictures of meals, so that diners can enhance their understanding of the restaurant's signature dishes while eating; There is a warm pavilion upstairs and a few small windows, so that guests can overlook the beautiful scenery of the river not far away while waiting for dinner......"

While Luo Shuangyi and the little county lord listened, they did not forget to carefully observe Qu Wanqing's expression.

Seeing that her expression was normal, both of them were a little uneasy in their hearts, and they were definitely not hoping that Qu Wanqing would be bad. It's just that I'm worried that she will keep everything in her heart and won't tell them.

When it came to repairs, Qu Wanqing's eyes had a gentle light: "What do you think?" ”

Luo Shuangyi really couldn't connect Qu Wanqing in front of her with the person who couldn't cry yesterday, suppressed the surprise in her heart, she smiled and praised: "Very good, downstairs with roots carved bamboo, simple and elegant, with calligraphy and painting recipes, the idea is novel, how did you come up with it?" ”

"After flipping through a few ancient books, I naturally had some ideas. But I think these ideas may not be very mature, Shuangyi, can you give some advice? Qu Wanqing's face was sincere, and there seemed to be only the restaurant in her eyes.

"Hmm...... I think you can use green bricks to pave the floor, and you can put a few pots of flowers in the entrance area. Luo Shuangyi said casually, carefully looking at Qu Wanqing to determine whether she was really okay or pretending to be fine.

Qu Wanqing nodded, avoiding Luo Shuangyi's gaze: "What I want is to build a wall with blue bricks." How about putting a wooden rattan shelf next to each table and putting tea, water, melons and fruits? ”

Luo Shuangyi nodded her chin with one hand, and put a wooden rattan shelf on the table a little too ordinary, rolled her eyes, remembered the description she had read in a book, and she looked up at the bricks above her head.

"It's too ordinary to put wooden rattan shelves, we might as well be here, here, and here, use green rattan to enter through the wall, catch the basket, and put melons, fruits, and wine."

Qu Wanqing opened her lips slightly, such a bold idea was something she had never seen in ancient books, and she said worriedly: "Can this work?" ”

"Of course. Just hire the best master carpenter, it's not a big deal. Luo Shuangyi said for sure, she had heard that the craftsmen in the capital were skilled, and the difficulty of her requirements should be no problem for those old craftsmen.

After that, her eyes still lingered on Qu Wanqing.

Qu Wan had already noticed the strangeness of the two early in the morning, and she began to stare at herself as soon as she came in, she touched her face: "What's wrong?" Is there anything on my face? ”

The two shook their heads in unison.

"Then why did you look at me inexplicably from the beginning?" Qu Wanqing asked, she is not a person who is easy to fool, she can be deceived with a sentence or two.

Luo Shuangyi coughed lightly, knowing that he couldn't fool Qu Wanqing, so he didn't speak.

The little county lord hurriedly waved his hand: "No, you think too much." ”

The more this is the case, the more it seems to be something.

"Did I think too much or did you think too much?" Qu Wanqing raised her willow eyebrows and asked softly.

The little county lord was helpless, unable to withstand her questioning, and said hesitantly: "It's yesterday...... We don't worry about you, so come and have a look. ”

Qu Wanqing's eyes flashed gloomily, and she quickly regained her smile, and her tone was relieved: "Aren't I okay now?" Don't worry, I'm fine. ”

"Are you really okay?" Luo Shuangyi didn't believe it, she was so sad yesterday, crying as if the sky had fallen, and today she was so good that she was fine, which made her even more worried.

"It's over, let's not mention it." Qu Wan said lightly, with a shallow smile in her eyes, as if she was really relieved.

After making sure that she didn't take yesterday's mess to heart, Luo Shuangyi and the little county lord secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The expression on Luo Shuangyi's face softened, and he bent his eyes: "It's okay, then let's continue to discuss the restaurant." ”

The three of them began to seriously discuss the renovation of the restaurant.

The little county lord didn't care much about this kind of thing, and felt that it would be good to have Luo Shuangyi and Qu Wanqing think about it, so she only expressed her opinions from time to time, and then helped to serve tea and water to the three of them.

After listening to Qu Wanqing's ideas for the renovation of the entire restaurant, Luo Shuangyi finally put forward some opinions.

"We can extend this part into two corridors, north and south, and repair the flying bridge to connect with the long river. Let the diners upstairs enjoy both the water and the mountains, as well as the sky. Roughly three floors high, five floors facing each other, how? Luo Shuangyi said seriously.

The little county lord clapped his hands and exclaimed: "This is good, if our restaurant is connected to the bridge over the river, at night, the diners can still see the brilliant lights and candles." ”

"It's a wonderful idea to be able to see the tricolor." Qu Wanqing held the teacup in her hand, and gently rubbed the outer edge of the teacup with one hand. It seems that I already have a picture of the scene after the completion of the restaurant in my mind.

"And that's not all, we can dock the boat at the back door, which will attract more diners." Luo Shuangyi blinked.

All three agreed.

……

After discussing the matter of the restaurant, it is not too early.

Zhao Cong went to the backyard to do his own business, and the remaining three people sat together and chatted.

The county lord almost said Fang Qi's name because of his quick mouth, but fortunately Luo Shuangyi picked up the conversation in time: "If you want to say strange things, my mother doesn't know how to do it recently, she always loses her temper because of some trivial things, and even Zihua, who has always been the most in line with her heart, was kicked out by her." ”

The little county lord was surprised when she heard this, because Aunt Liu had always been kind to them juniors, and she really couldn't imagine that the person in Luo Shuangyi's mouth was Aunt Liu.

"Wouldn't it? Could it be that Zihua did something wrong and made Aunt Liu angry, so she was kicked out? The little princess speculated that she could hardly imagine that a gentle person like her aunt would lose her temper with the long-waiting maid and drive people away.

"It's true. A few days ago, I asked Zihua some questions, and my mother knew about it, and my mother punished Zihua for kneeling for an hour. Luo Shuangyi said, his tone becoming heavy.

Her mother has been very strange lately, but she doesn't know what's going on.

"No......" the little lord still expressed disbelief.

"There's something even more incredible. The reason why my mother drove Zihua away was because when Zihua got up early to groom her, she accidentally pulled her hair. Luo Shuangyi said helplessly.

Her mother has always been gentle and amiable, but who would have thought that she would be so irritable lately.

After hearing this, the little county lord couldn't help but ask Aunt Liu what other strange changes she had.

Luo Shuangyi came one by one with a headache.

Qu Wanqing listened quietly and didn't say a word.

Luo Shuangyi took a sip of tea and took a deep breath: "The most terrifying thing is her attitude towards Xie Yuxuan, I don't know what happened, my mother and Xie Yuxuan suddenly became close." ”

She couldn't figure this out.

The little county lord opened his eyes, and when he heard such a big change from Aunt Liu, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

What kind of person can give birth to such a strange change in a short period of time!

"Could it be...... Did my aunt take the wrong medicine? The words blurted out accidentally, and she covered her mouth as soon as she finished speaking.

Luo Shuangyi was not angry, because sometimes she had such thoughts in her heart. Otherwise, how could her mother have changed so much?

But when she thought that her mother had been staying in the house, she had been carefully taken care of by the maid for three meals a day, and she had not had a cold cough recently, so it was impossible to take the wrong medicine, so Luo Shuangyi dispelled this concern.

Remembering that people have dementia when they are old, she comforted herself in her heart that her mother was just old.

"Shuangyi, why don't you take us to have a look? Listening to what you say, I always feel that it is not very real. "The little lord wants to see it with his own eyes.

Luo Shuangyi didn't think there was anything, nodded in agreement, and looked at Qu Wanqing: "Wanqing, do you want to go together?" ”

Qu Wanqing got up and shook her head: "I want to stay here and wait for the carpenter to finish the wood carving on the chair." ”

Luo Shuangyi didn't force it: "Then it's hard for you and Zhao Cong." ”

Before leaving, she did not forget to explain: "Remember to use the strongest green vine." There is also a wine flag at the door, your embroidery is good, if you are free, you can embroider the wine flag yourself, so that we save another expense. ”

Qu Wanqing replied softly: "Don't worry, just leave it to me." ”

Luo Shuangyi responded with a smile, and Qu Wanqing looked at the store, she couldn't be more relieved.

Thinking of something, he asked two more sentences: "The blue and white porcelain that I said before, you can send someone to the Wang Ji antique shop on East Street to have a look." ”

The little county lord couldn't bear to leave Qu Wanqing here alone, so he couldn't help but ask, "You really don't want to go with us?" ”

Qu Wanqing shook her head: "You guys go." Shuangyi, I have time to visit my aunt again. ”

Luo Shuangyi saw that she insisted on staying in the restaurant, thinking that being busy in the restaurant might make her better forget the unhappy things, so she didn't say anything, and left the restaurant with the little county lord one after another.
