Chapter 367: Untie the Knot

Since the big shopkeeper left, the business of Reading One House has plummeted.

As a century-old bookstore in the capital, Reading Yiju does have a bit of capital. It's a pity that the descendants are not angry, so they put the huge family business in the hands of outsiders.

Yang Wen has more than one house and one property under his hands, and he does not cherish this bookstore.

But it's one thing not to cherish it, it's another thing to be provoked.

In Yang Wen's thoughts, Reading Yiju will continue the century-old tradition like this, and it will continue to bear the name of the Yang family thereafter. Even if the dynasty falls, as long as their Yang family is here.

Maybe a hundred years later, the Yang family will also become the royal nobles.

Yang Wen cherished this somewhat unrealistic wish, and calculated it every day.

Wu Fan's betrayal was caught off guard, Yang Wen never thought that the dog he had been raising would bite him back one day. This is simply a great shame for Yang Wen.

What's more, Wu Fan's betrayal had been planned a long time ago, and the people he sent not only caught any trace of the other party, but they didn't even know when Wu Fan left.

It wasn't until this month that Yang Wen finally inquired about Wu Fan's whereabouts. It turned out that he actually went to Qinlin Publishing House to serve as the president.

Yang Wen was furious when he heard the news, and immediately sent someone to arrest Wu Fan back.

His subordinates are not people like Wu Fan who can eat well in front of Yang Wen. As soon as he heard this order, he directly refused.

It's true that they are thugs, but not everyone dares to offend. Let them arrest people in broad daylight, or go to Xijing, I'm afraid I don't think they will die fast enough.

Being rejected by his subordinates, coupled with Wu Fan's betrayal, made Yang Wen completely crazy. He even did not hesitate to give an order on the black market to ask for Wu Fan's life.

But before that, he first had to bring down the Qin Lin Publishing House.

The "Xiyan Weekly" published by this publishing house is the product that makes Yang Wen hate it to the extreme.

After the cooperation between Wu Fan and "Xiyan Weekly" collapsed, Yang Wen already hated Qin Xiang. Now that Wu Fan has jumped directly to his opponent's home, you can imagine how violent Yang Wen's heart is.

He was determined to bring down the publishing house, and during this time, he sent several people to try to infiltrate the publishing house.

But all this happened when Qin Xiang met a woman named Zhang Funiang by chance, and completely rewrote the troubles that might be encountered.

Aunt Fu has a pair of fiery eyes, how can she not see what these young descendants are planning in their hearts. As a result, they were all unqualified.

The fine work sent by Yang Wen couldn't even enter the door of the publishing house, which was another heavy blow to him.

Qin Xiang listened to Aunt Fu say the joke of reading a house, but he didn't underestimate the other party in his heart.

Yang Wen was able to force such a big family business to sell at the beginning, but it is conceivable that it is not simple. Besides, this person is calculating, and it is not an exaggeration to describe his methods with the word vicious. Any disgusting means can be used, if you really underestimate him, you will be the one who will suffer at that time.

Qin Xiang took this matter to heart and decided to send someone to keep an eye on Yang Wen.

"Alas, I always feel that I have offended a lot of people recently."

Is it her pleasure to offend these people? Obviously, she is doing things well, but someone is not long-sighted to bump into her.

It's just that before that, she has to go to an appointment first.

Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.

There are rockeries and landscaping, and there are also flowers and trees.

This is Mrs. Yang's home, a courtyard that looks like being in a Jiangnan garden.

Although Mrs. Yang's husband is an official in the court, his official rank is not high. When today's surname is Yang, the Yang family is naturally related to the royal family. The thirteenth princess of the first emperor is the ancestor of the Yang family, who has been dead for three years.

The Yang family was given the surname Yang because it was a wealthy family. However, these are not easy to repeat, but the Yang family has also risen all the way because of their in-law relationship with the royal family, and has earned a lot of silver.

Speaking of which, the owner of the house is also surnamed Yang, but it has nothing to do with the royal family.

"You're here."

As soon as Qin Xiang arrived, Mrs. Yang came to sign her hand with an affectionate face.

"I've been hoping that you could come and sit in my house."

Qin Xiang not only came, but also brought the royal tailor on the water side.

She came to see Mrs. Yang today, and by the way, she also had the task of customizing a dress for the other party.

It turned out that Mrs. Yang was going to a banquet, and the time was set for a month later.

The women of this dynasty have special dresses, but Mrs. Yang does not have a fate. Besides, it's not entering the palace, so why bother so much.

Although it is not entering the palace, there should be no less pomp and circumstance. The whole book

At the appreciation meeting that day, Mrs. Yang was deeply fascinated by those fabrics. She didn't want the styles that could be seen everywhere on the market, and hoped that Qin Xiang could customize one specifically for her.

This was originally a precedent that should not have been, but who let Qin Xiang and Mrs. Yang fall in love and be willing to design for each other.

Mrs. Yang is gentle and slender, and she has almost no clothes that don't look good on her body. However, her figure also has flaws, because of the pursuit of slender beauty, resulting in no curves. Some solemn styles, Mrs. Yang can't hold it down at all.

"The banquet I'm going to this time ......"

Mrs. Yang briefly introduced the various benefits and disadvantages to Qin Xiang, if it was just an ordinary banquet, she would not care so much. But this banquet is different, she is going to attend the wedding of her ex-fiancé.

It's just a piece of chicken feathers, and Qin Xiang is not good at digging into other people's privacy.

However, it can be seen from Mrs. Yang's words that she must not have broken the marriage contract peacefully with this fiancé back then. Now she is married again, and he is married again. Not only that, but the other party also sent her an invitation.

"I'm not going to lose face anyway. You are the best at dressing up, you must dress me up dignified and good-looking. I want to let the surnamed Liu take a good look, it's not that he doesn't marry, it's that he doesn't deserve it! What kind of person is the old lady, and he has to say no! ”

Qin Xiang blinked, pretending not to hear this, and carefully asked Mrs. Yang about her preferences and favorite colors.

After asking the tailor to measure his body, he decided to go back and draw the first version of the design.

A month is really not a long time.

From design to pattern making to ready-to-wear, it's not that simple.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yang had already picked out the fabric, which saved Qin Xiang's troubles. And the dresses of this era have certain limitations, she can break through, but never excessively.

The blueprints were drawn on the third day, when Mrs. Mo unexpectedly came to the door.

"Shu Shu told you, she is going to attend the wedding of the Liu family."

Qin Xiang bowed, "Sister Chen is here today, but for this?" ”

Mrs. Mo sighed, funny and helpless, "It's not easy to say this, I'll mention a few more words, you just know it in your heart." ”

The matter between Mrs. Yang and Liu Gongzi can be summarized as a child. Guy is sensitive by nature, and unruly and arrogant. Love is hard to open in my heart, and I resist the marriage contract, so I can only squeeze my fiancée who I have liked since I was a child.

For a long time, Mrs. Yang was depressed and unhappy, and even lingered on the sickbed for half a year. At this time, I heard my fiancé lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane, and even let out a bold statement that he didn't like the fiancée who was as tall as a wooden plank at home.

Mrs. Yang vomited blood in a fit of anger and was about to repent of her marriage. Her family is also open-minded, and she has no interests with the Liu family. Under the urging of the two parents, the marriage was dissolved.

When Liu Gongzi came back from Fireworks Alley, he learned that the marriage contract had been dissolved, and he rushed to the door to question, which made Mrs. Yang half angry again. Mrs. Yang was stimulated and kept sullen. At this time, her brother's classmate, who is now her husband, Yang Gongzi, happened to come to the door.

The other party has a gentle temperament, not only liberates Mrs. Yang, but also often takes her to play. came and went, and the two looked at each other. Yang Gongzi left for a month and then returned, bringing a matchmaker to the door.

Mrs. Yang had already prepared the dowry, and she was going to marry Liu Gongzi the next year. But because of this accident, he married in the capital with a dowry in the second month. Now the husband and wife are in love and happy, although there are several concubines in the backyard, they have always served her as the master and dare not be arrogant.

But what was disgusted by Liu Gongzi at the beginning was still an insoluble injury in Mrs. Yang's heart, so Qin Xiang asked to come to the door.

"So, is she trying to fight for her breath, not to suppress the bride's limelight?"

"Shu Shu's personality is gentle and gentle, not a person with a lot of thoughts. She just wants Liu Gongzi to see that she is well married, her husband is good, and she is very happy. ”

"I see." Qin Xiang understood what Mrs. Mo meant, and also knew why the other party would come to the door on purpose. It turned out that she didn't want her to misunderstand that Mrs. Yang was a scheming person, and she didn't want her to think that Mrs. Yang was reluctant to give up on Liu Gongzi.

In fact, each of us has had some dissatisfaction and can't let go in our hearts. Maybe when Mrs. Yang sees Liu Gongzi, she will find that he is no longer what she remembers. ”

"He has become ugly, and his handsome appearance has long been destroyed by the years. A toned body, only the traces left by the color of wine. ”

"And she is still living freely, and the joy of living has become a real sacredness that he can't climb."

After Mrs. Mo left the Han Mansion, she brought these words to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang wiped away her tears after crying, "I won't steal the limelight from the bride, and I can't swallow that breath." I just think...... Unwilling. ”

Obviously, she was looking forward to it back then, she embroidered the dowry with her own hands, and always cherished the red wedding dress at night. But what did you get in the end? It's betrayal, it's contempt.

Don't Liu Gongzi like her? Mrs. Yang knew he liked herself. It's just that his liking is far from enough for her to give up her self-esteem and become his fun to make fun of.

Qin Xiang's first version of the design draft really didn't get Mrs. Yang's favor, and she directly handed over the second one.

"I think you'll like this."

Mrs. Yang was stunned and stroked this sketch, the blue lotus-colored lower skirt, the crab shell green gown, and the exquisite embroidery work, were the dignified appearance in her mind.

In the caftan is a goose-yellow bandeau and a green lotus-colored lower skirt, which shows that she has a slender waist and a bit of feminine softness.

"I like it." She raised her head and raised a big smile at Qin Xiang. "I think that's fine."

"That's good. When the time comes, I'll have someone help you design the makeup and hairstyle to match, and it seems that you will have to find a maid who is good at combing your hair. Qin Xiang quipped.

"Not really. I used to dislike the clumsy maids at home, but now I have magazines to read, if I still can't learn, what do I do with them. ”
