Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Limelight
Everyone's eyes were drawn to this side. Qi Mei next to her pinched and sweated for Mu Qing, the little lady brought by Qi Guanshan was born as a singer, and she was already the fourth room in the room, she loved money, although she had a beautiful appearance, but she was rude and willful, and she was a well-known "Sapo" lady in the family of her father's subordinates.
The Zhou family watched from the sidelines, the old man stood up and didn't move, if Mu Qing couldn't handle this trivial matter, it would also be in vain to bear the reputation of the future successor of the Zhou family.
Li Shaowen hugged Zhilan thoughtfully. Zhilan looked at Mu Qing with her heart, and her expression was as usual, and she was relieved.
"I want to ask Master Qi to be a Chinese person." Mu Qing said unhurriedly, "Master Qi, you have a very high prestige, with your testimony, everyone will not say that I, Zhou Muqing, am cheating and cannot convince the public." ”
"Okay." Master Qi nodded slightly.
"Mr. Qi, can I borrow your clothes for a look?" Mu Qing saw that Master Qi should go down, and turned to ask Qi Guanshan.
"Don't think! If you take your clothes and pay the bills, won't we even have proof? "A woman's mind turns fast.
"Okay, Caiping, you go to my room and bring the second black dress hanging in the closet and the second one on the right hand."
Caiping quickly went to fetch it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this city knows that my Wande Commercial Bank has a slogan, which is called false one penalty of ten, so everyone knows that the quality of the things bought in Wande Commercial Bank is absolutely guaranteed. This dress in my hand is newly imported by my Wande Commercial Bank, and it is the same style as Mr. Qi's, can you see if it is or not? Mu Qing got the clothes and handed them to Qi Guanshan. Qi Guanshan looked at it, caught a glimpse of his wife's eyes, and returned it to Mu Qing without saying a word.
Mu Qing had expected the other party's attitude, and asked Master Qi to take a closer look at the two clothes. After Master Qi recognized the sign, he nodded and said, "It's indeed the same one." ”
"That's good. Let me tell you to identify, please take a closer look, this dress has a characteristic, that is, on its embroidery label, the letter A, the embroidery thread on the left side of the real mark A is significantly shorter than the right. Mu Qing unfolded his clothes and pointed to the embroidered label to everyone, "And Mr. Qi's one, the letter A is the same left and right, and the word C is slightly skewed." You can look at the collar mark in his garment, and the upper and lower cuts are not edged, and the seam must not be straight. I have dealt with a lot of fakes of this brand, this brand has always been in short supply, there are too many imitations, but unfortunately they are not as fine as the original. ”
After speaking, Mu Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, which clothing store do you find to buy it, don't forget to go to his house to return it." Pay attention next time, don't let people fool you. ”
Qi Guanshan couldn't squeeze out his words, and he was very embarrassed. The woman also put her voice away and made a big face, stared at Qi Guanshan fiercely, daring to suffer a big loss and lose face on this occasion.
"With all due respect, this kind of clothing is at most fifty oceans for the better handmade, and the second is for the second...... Little lady, if you want us to pay a thousand oceans, I'm afraid it's a sky-high asking price. It's not that our Zhou family can't afford it, your husband's clothes are really not worthy of the goods. Master Qi, what do you say? ”
"Nephew Zhou Xian is right, I'm afraid you're at a loss, third child."
"Well done." Qi Mei applauded, turned her head to Mrs. Qi and said, "Are you still going to ask for money for this impostor?" “
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and many people pointed and poked, Qi Guanshan was ashamed, the woman was bored, and she hid with her man.
Phoenix was grateful to Mu Qing for relieving her, and was full of expectations that he would look at her a few more times, but he turned his back: "Phoenix, if you don't want to get into trouble, quickly retreat." Mu Qing's words were all this, he had already seen that Qi Guanshan had done everything to the phoenix just now, but the matter of clothes had swept his interest.
Phoenix obeyed Mu Qing's words and hurriedly retreated to the kitchen.
Yuehua's wedding, Zhou Muqing made a big splash, and many young ladies and ladies in the boudoir inquired about this elegant and handsome second young man of the Zhou family.
Qi Mei held Mu Qing tightly, he pulled out his arm several times and was pulled back by her, she was by his side, like a fighter ready to attack at any time.
Zhilan believed that Mu Qing could solve it easily, she had always trusted him, and it was expected, but Qi Mei showed her love in such a high-profile manner, she knew that she was like she had lost her qualification in the game and was kicked out early, and that kind of unwillingness and sadness broke her heart.
"Insect carving skills." Li Shaowen seemed to see through everything, and the corners of his mouth hung up like a smile.
Zhilan took a deep breath, not wanting to see the interaction between Mu Qing and Qi Mei again, and said to Li Shaowen: "Let's go." ”
"Thanks to your eldest brother's wedding, I can finally relive your boudoir life with you this time." The two of them turned to the small garden, and Li Shaowen quipped, "It's the first time I've come to the garden of the Zhou Mansion." ”
"Not as big as your family." Zhilan Road. Roughly calculated, this is the third time she and the man have come to the lake, the lakeside is only similar every year, and the people are different every year, but it has only been a few months, and her life is as "wonderful" as a marquee. Even the people around him are married, married, married, and even relatives turn against each other, and their lovers are far away.
The summer is hot, the temperature by the lake is a little cooler, and today there is still some breeze blowing, and it is extremely comfortable to sit in the gazebo and blow the wind.
"This reminds me of our meeting in the theater." Li Shaowen sat side by side with her.
"Hmm." Zhilan replied with interest.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, you are here." Shao Wu walked over and said with a smile. He is still so sunny, he recently married Jingru, and everyone is in good spirits at happy events.
"Where's your wife?" Shaowen asked. He remembered what Jingru said to himself when Zhilan and Mu Qing went upstairs to talk just now.
"Zhou Zhilan is really lucky, I really envy her, I just want to ask you, Shaowen, why can't you give me a chance?"
"Between you and me, apart from cousin and sister affection, I never thought of anything else. I advise you to accept the thoughts you shouldn't have, and since you are married to Shaowu, you will devote yourself to him. Li Shaowen coldly refused to her.
"If I confess to you before you meet Sister Lan, will you like me in the slightest?" Jingru asked after a moment of silence.
"Maybe I will." Jingru asked seriously, and Li Shaowen thought seriously.
Jingru remembered what Lan said to her when she watched the play, she said that it was still possible for her to confess first, but unfortunately she didn't listen to Sister Lan's sister and took the initiative to take this step.
"I see, excuse me, Brother Shaowen." Jingru left in frustration, Li Shaowen realized in his heart that he was a little cruel to her, but things had to be decided immediately to be peaceful.
"She went to her father's house, I accompanied her first, I was afraid that I was here, their family was uncomfortable talking, I came out for a turn."
"Shaowu, I really didn't mean to make her angry about my mother's matter. I know that you are brothers, and if it weren't for me, your eldest brother wouldn't have stopped attending your wedding...... I gotta say I'm sorry to you! Zhilan felt deeply sorry for the innocent Shaowu, so it was better to take this opportunity to say it so as not to misunderstand it even more.
Li Shaowen looked at her in surprise.
Shao Wu smiled unmindfully: "It's okay, we're a family." Sister-in-law, you are new to you, and her mother doesn't understand you, so she will inevitably be a little hostile. It's good if the days are long, how can the eldest brother and my brother have any ideas, in fact, I have to thank the eldest brother, if he doesn't like Jingru, how can I still have a chance? ”
"Don't joke." Shaowen straightened his face.
"Brother, this is my heartfelt words. Haha, I won't bother you big brother and sister-in-law, I'll go see Jingru. With that, he left with a smile.
"You are two brothers, your personalities are really different." Zhilan looked at Shaowen.
"Yes, he and I studied in Shanghai together. I have been trained as a successor since I was a child, and it is natural for me to study business and do business. My brother is different, he has a cheerful personality and I want him to pursue what he likes, so he studied music. Li Shaowen sighed,
"Where do I not want to live as freely as he does? I took over the Zhihe firm, and the scheming and calculations in the business field affected me, and a wrong step was a wrong step, and the gamble was on the future and fate of the Li family, and there was a danger of no recovery at any time.
I told myself that I couldn't lose, I couldn't make mistakes, I couldn't take risks easily, and I couldn't be confused, which made me constantly adjust and sharpen my personality in order to get to where I am today and become the person I am in front of you. I have told you from the bottom of my heart, I will inevitably have to do something, I am a person whose roots are immersed in muddy water, and you are the clear stream. ”
"In my opinion, you have always been a businessman." Zhilan said softly, "Everything is still in the first place. You are a person, who can tell if you are true or false? ”
"You don't have to think much about other things, you believe in me, and I have always been true to you." Li Shaowen looked into her eyes and said, "Lan'er, I hope that after you marry me, you can be a wife at home with peace of mind, so that I don't have any worries outside." ”
Zhilan had a heart stump, still remembering that he was talking to himself at the Yuegong Hotel, saying that he wanted to let himself see what he had never seen before, and take himself out of the deep boudoir, and now listening to his words, it seems that he has let himself enter another canary's birdcage? She couldn't help but sullenly say, "It's time to start the banquet, let's go in." ”
At the wedding banquet, Jingru and Shaowu were at the table of the eldest master of the Zhou family, and deliberately avoided Shaowen and Zhilan.
Zhilan observed the Qi family from time to time. Although Mrs. Qi is old but majestic, she is the head of the family, she shocks everyone in the Qi family, looking at her consistent style, she knows how to say the same thing when she is young, she can make the decision to abandon herself, Zhilan is not surprised at all.
The second aunt Tai Bichun is worthy of being the lady in charge, she constantly takes care of the family at the dinner table, and she is the most exquisite. The third aunt Tai Yaochun didn't say much today, maybe Qi Ying didn't come. Yuchun's eyes were all on Qi Shan, Zhilan seemed to understand what she meant, Qi Shan was relieved and reluctant to marry her, Zhilan suddenly envied Sister Shan.
When she followed Qi Mei's eyes, she and Mu Qing's eyes met together, Mu Qing raised a glass to her and took a sip, but Qi Mei smiled and drank Mu Qing's back.
Zhilan was saddened, and her instincts told her that she was going to have to accept a reality.
The time was Tuesday in a blink of an eye, and it was less than four o'clock in the afternoon, and Mu Qing was still busy in the silver building.
"Manager, there's another lady outside who has come to order jewelry, and she has indicated that she has to receive you." Li Yi came to report.
Mu Qing was stunned: "Really?" I'll go downstairs. ”
He looked at which lady it was, since he was in the limelight at Yuehua's wedding, there were always girls these days who let themselves receive in the name of ordering jewelry, although it was annoying, but the customer was first, and he had to be patient.
There was a girl waiting in the private room. The first time she came here, in her opinion, the appearance of this silver building is very old, but after coming in, it is completely different from what she imagined, here has been rearranged and decorated, especially in the original hall next to the display cabinet to add a few small private rooms, the warm and sweet atmosphere is very suitable for the individual reception of the female dependents who came to order jewelry, the most eye-catching glass display cabinet in the middle of the hall is the treasure of the town building of Wande Silver Building, the rumored phoenix wears peony jewelry.
"Is that you, Qi Mei? Isn't it time yet? ”
"I'm afraid that you won't be able to excuse yourself if you find a reason, and since you can't reach Muhammad on this mountain, then I, Muhammad, have no choice but to come to the mountain." Qi Mei joked.
"Then you wait for me, I'll go upstairs and arrange the work before I go." Mu Qing took a deep breath, he really admired Qi Mei's persistence.
