Chapter 44: Visionary
"Haven't you eaten, sir?" The eldest lady ignored Shen Yuemei and turned her gaze directly to Su Fengche, who was sitting at the table. Before Su Fengche could answer, she said again, "If you don't, would you like to eat with me?" She looks like a lady from a large family, and her demeanor and conversation reveal gentleness.
Su Fengche looked at Shen Yuemei, but Shen Yuemei just lowered her head to eat and didn't say a word. Su Fengche sighed, shook his head helplessly, and went out with the eldest lady.
"Why is everyone eating, but you?" She asked Su Fengche with a deliberate smile.
"What do you mean, girl?" Su Fengche was depressed because Shen Yuemei had no reason to be angry with her just now. He really couldn't figure out what was wrong, Shen Yuemei didn't even give him a bite of food at noon today, which really made him helpless.
The two of them found a private room and sat down in a nearby restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and chatted while eating. Only then did Su Fengche know the true identity of the eldest lady in front of him. Her name is Shangguan Lanyun, and her father is a court eunuch with a position in Zhongshulang. The two chatted with each other for a few words, and they really knew each other.
Later, Shangguan Lanyun also expressed her intention to come this time, she said that when she came to the store this morning, she saw Su Fengche reading and helping to look after the store, which was very hard. Shangguan Lanyun felt that if Su Fengche was really a motivated worker, he might be able to find his father and help him gain fame.
When Su Fengche heard her say this, he was overjoyed, indeed, the current examination style is not very good, there are many cheats and officials who buy officials, especially the sons of those ministers, their roads have already been checked by their families, so even if they don't excel in the written exam, they will be on the list, let alone in the future. But if you can also get the appreciation and recommendation of an adult, then the road ahead should be much easier. Su Fengche thought about it, so he nodded and agreed to the matter, and the two officially became friends.
Both of them have read a lot of poetry and books, and they have more common topics, and they have been chatting on the way back after eating, and the two are chatting energetically, so Su Fengche didn't see it, and Shen Yuemei, who was standing in front of the counter at the door, was staring at herself.
They laughed and talked all the way to the door of the shop.
"Then this matter is settled, Brother Su." Shangguan Lanyun said goodbye to Su Fengche softly at the door, and then turned around and went back to the house.
Su Fengche came back happily, but he didn't notice that Shen Yuemei's face was becoming more and more gloomy at this time.
On the other side, Shen Yuemei actually watched them at the door all the time, and after leaving the restaurant, the two of them kept laughing and talking along the way, looking happy. It's false to say that you are not jealous, after all, you are indeed moved, how can you not be jealous? So the whole fill is sullen next to it.
When it was finally time to close, Shen Yuemei packed up her things early and closed the store. Su Fengche also rushed directly to Chen Shuang's mansion to practice martial arts, and he didn't find out what Shen Yuemei was thinking at all.
When he returned to the mansion after practicing martial arts, just in time for dinner in the evening, he hurriedly sat down and began to eat. Shen Yuemei endured it for a long time, but she still didn't hold back, so she asked Su Fengche who the woman who came to him at noon today was and what it had to do with him.
Su Fengche didn't even put down the dishes and chopsticks, but just replied to Shen Yuemei that the woman's name was Shangguan Lanyun, and her father was an official at home, so maybe he could help himself, and it would be very beneficial for him to gain fame. This was a good thing, but he didn't find out, and Shen Yuemei was not happy at all.
Su Li had already seen the thoughts of her future daughter-in-law on the side, they were all women, how could she not see through the thoughts of this little girl at this time. So she didn't let Su Fengche pick up the lights to read at night tonight, and wanted him to take his future daughter-in-law out to visit the night market and see the lanterns. As a result, his stupid son didn't think about the long term at all, and directly rejected Su Li's kindness, he thought that it was more important to gain fame in the immediate examination.
Seeing Su Fengche's excited look because he had found a backer, Shen Yuemei was very aggrieved but didn't know what to do.
Since that day, Shangguan Lanyun has often come to the store to look for Su Fengche, and every time she comes, she always brings a few subordinates, carrying large bags and small bags. It felt like she was going to recite her entire Shangguan Mansion. Shen Yuemei watched her come to the store with a large bag of things, and she became angry. Knowing that this is a shop, there is no place to place the goods, so she is good, and she treats this store as her home, and she takes everything back and forth.
Shen Yuemei walked straight in front of Shangguan Lanyun: "This young lady, this is a shop, not a reading club, you can come and leave if you want, not to mention that you are still in my store with big bags and small bags." What else does this make me do with business? Shen Yuemei didn't give Shangguan Lanyun a good look. She just doesn't like this woman, this woman is not a good person at first glance, why should she give her a good face.
She came to the store every day to look for Su Fengche, and Shen Yuemei always felt that since he came, Su Fengche had changed a lot. I started to get busy, and I didn't have time to pay attention to myself and accompany myself. "Stinky man, he said he would accompany me well." Shen Yuemei muttered in her heart, but she never said it. She also knew Su Fengche's determination to gain fame, but recently, he seemed to be too involved, and other things became less concerned, including himself. So the more she looked at Shangguan Lanyun, the more eye-catching she became, and the more she looked at it, the more upset she became.
"Shopkeeper Shen, I'm very sorry, the little girl will pay attention, and I won't disturb your business like this in the future." After speaking, Shangguan Lanyun got up and wanted to leave. Su Fengche looked embarrassed next to him, and he didn't know what to say. Indeed, they have big bags and small bags in front of the store and inside the store, which will really affect the business. Shen Yuemei also managed to prop up this shop, and everyone worked hard together, and it took a lot of experience to get to where they are today. Su Fengche frowned, and said, "Send Miss Shangguan away first, and we'll find a convenient place to talk about poetry later." ”
"Okay." Shangguan Lanyun replied politely with a smile, and then took his subordinates to leave for the journey home.
After Shangguan Lanyun left, Su Fengche took Shen Yuemei to the backyard of the store, "Yuemei, you don't seem to be in a good mood lately." Always with a big temper. Su Fengche complained to Shen Yuemei in a low voice. He felt that Shen Yuemei's temper had been getting worse and worse recently, especially in the past few days, she had become more and more irritable, always frowning, and her tone of voice was not very good, which made him elusive.
