I saw that the woman was in her forties, with a round face, wearing muslin clothes, a silver hairpin on her head, and a bamboo basket on her arm.

Qiu Se asked strangely: "Auntie, are you looking for the wrong person?" I don't know your lady! ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "Qiu Niangzi said that she was laughing, how could you not know my lady?" A few days ago, my lady was unwell, but thanks to your help. ”

Qiu Se couldn't help but ask, "Could your lady be the proprietress of that teahouse?" ”

"Yes, in order to thank the autumn lady for her help, my lady specially prepared a banquet today to invite you to eat and drink, you must go!" The mother-in-law admonished.

The hostess's appreciation party? Why didn't you invite it two days ago? Qiu Se looked at the two buckets of canned food left in front of him and said hesitantly: "I still have canned food to sell!" Let's go another day, thank you for me first. "She has to work hard to make money and start a female household, but she doesn't have much time to go to the banquet.

The round-faced mother-in-law didn't seem to expect Qiu Se to refuse, and after being stunned for a moment, she straightened her face, "I said Qiu Niangzi, how much is your bucket of canned food?" My lady has worked hard for this banquet! ”

Autumn color raised eyebrows, what's wrong? Is this still a forced treat? The tone also rushed, "I can't compare to your lady who is rich, so don't delay me to make money!" Please let me! ”

"Hmph, I don't know what to do!" The round-faced woman's face turned blue angrily, and she returned to the teahouse with hatred.

"Fault!" Qiu Se knew that this kind of person was used to being praised on weekdays, and he would definitely be annoyed if he was suddenly dumped by himself, and he probably wouldn't come again, so he sold his canned food with peace of mind.

After selling canned food for a while, Autumn suddenly found that the people who were chatting around her stall had quieted down and looked stunned. Curious, Qiu Se looked up and saw a person dressed as a lady walking towards him with an umbrella.

I saw that she was graceful, as delicate as a weak willow when she walked, wearing a pink wide-sleeved shirt woven with weeping silk begonias, a white plain silk long skirt with a collar inside, a towering hanging cloud bun on her head, and a butterfly with pearls on the side of her hair, but unfortunately the white veil on the mask could not see the facial features.

But even her dress stunned the people on the dock, especially when she stood in front of the autumn color, one seemed to be a fairy who had landed in the mortal dust, and there was still a fairy aura between her gestures, and the other was the most ordinary mortal woman, with only fireworks between her words and laughter.

"Qiu Niangzi, I have packed all the remaining canned food, can you please send it to me?" The woman lifted her umbrella and bent her eyes to look at the autumn colors.

Those eyes were extremely charming, and the autumn color was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses and hurriedly responded: "Oh, okay." After a pause, he asked, "Where is the girl's house?" Not far from the marina? ”

"It's not far away, it's right there." The woman raised her hand to the teahouse not far away.

"You're the proprietress of the teahouse?!" Autumn color was very surprised, today's Qing Niang and that day's half-dead appearance are simply like two people.

The woman nodded, "Just call me Qingniang." Granny Cai said the wrong thing just now, and I brought her to make amends to you. ”

Qing Niang said, motioning for Granny Cai, who was following behind, to step forward.

Looking at the autumn color, Granny Cai is the round-faced mother-in-law just now. I saw her smiling at herself, completely losing the disdain she had when she left just now.

"Granny Cai is just unforgiving, but her heart is excellent, so don't worry about Lady Qiu like her." Qing Niang's voice was soft and soft, which attracted the people watching the excitement next to her to talk to her.

"That's right, Qiu Niangzi, you should be generous."

Qiu Shi ignored the intercessor and asked Qing Niang directly, "What is the matter with the boss lady looking for me?" ”

Qing Niang paused, but she didn't expect Qiu Se to ignore her words at all, so she only followed Qiu Se's words: "I have prepared a table for a banquet and want to invite you over to the banquet!" I don't know if the autumn lady is willing to appreciate the light? ”

"I'm ......" Autumn Colors don't want to go, one is to continue to make money, and the other is that strangers who have only met once will consider one or two.

"Let's pick all these cans and go to the teahouse, I want them all." Qing Niang saw that Qiu Shi was hesitating, and hurriedly said: "Ah Shan, oh, even the tiger master will go in a while!" ”

When it comes to the tiger master, Qiu Se remembered the matter of setting up a female household, and the heart that was originally a little hesitant also settled, "Since the boss lady sincerely invites me, then I will be disrespectful." It's not good to come to the door empty-handed, these canned food are good as a gift for me, and the proprietress won't dislike it. ”

Qing Niang didn't care about anything else when she saw that Qiu Se agreed to go to the banquet, she only told Granny Cai to help Qiu Se carry two buckets of canned food, and Qiu Se followed her to the teahouse with the other two empty buckets.

"Qiu Niang, please take a seat. Call you Qiu Niangzi a little outside, and you can't be separated from other people, can I call you Qiu Niang directly? Qing Niang asked as she beckoned Autumn to sit down.

"The proprietress is arbitrary, you can call it anything."

"You see that you are still so polite to me, didn't you say that you want to call me Qingniang?" Qing Niang said as she took off her veil and handed it to Granny Cai on the side.

Qing Niang, who took off the veil, put a thin powder on her face, her lips were scarlet, and she was matched with exquisite facial features, her lips and eyes were full of infinite style, and she almost looked at the autumn colors, and couldn't help but praise: "Qing Niang is so beautiful!" ”

Qing Niang sneered, "I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't want your mouth to be so sweet." ”

Autumn color is happy, "I can't help it." ”

After laughing, the strangeness between the two dissipated a lot, and they chatted casually, most of the time it was Qingniang who was listening to the autumn colors. Qing Niang said a lot of topics, from the type of tea to the grade of wine, from rouge gouache to hairpin ring jade pendant, from the practice of dim sum to the pattern of clothes, but also because of the autumn color in the Chen Mansion for four years, and the huge amount of modern knowledge can barely keep up.

And Qing Niang was surprised to happy with the performance of Qiu Se, she thought that Qiu Se would hear herself say that she would be like listening to the book of heaven, like a village girl with a silly envy, but she didn't expect this Qiu Niang to be able to talk about some, especially some of her views are very novel, they have never been heard, at this time she really wants to make Qiu Se this friend.

"I remember Qiu Niang once said that you came here from modern times, what is modern place?" Qing Niang took a sip of tea and asked casually.

Qiu Se was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip of tea to cover up, and then asked puzzledly: "What modern?" Where did Qing Niang hear that? ”

Qing Niang was stunned, looked at the autumn color meaningfully, and smiled, "I remember that Qiu Niang seemed to have said this when she helped me take a bath that day, maybe I heard it wrong." ”

"I don't remember saying that Qing Niang may have heard it. By the way, Qing Niang's body is okay now, right? "Autumn color can't wait to turn back time and take back that sentence, it seems that modern things can never be mentioned in the future.

Qing Niang didn't ask about that day anymore, and only smiled: "I've been completely well, and it's because I want to invite the two benefactors to have a drink that I've waited for these days." ”

"What kind of benefactor am I." Autumn color felt that Qing Niang was making a fuss.

"You are my benefactor." Qing Niang said very seriously: "I was thrown here on the broken dock without relatives and no reason, I originally thought that person would come to pick me up, who knows...... I couldn't think about it that day, and I wanted to take poison for a hundred years, but it happened that Ah Shan caught up and asked you for help, or I am dead now, and I tell it as a joke for nothing, so I really want to make you a friend. ”

"Huh." Qiu Se laughed dryly, "Actually, I'm not very good at making friends, and I don't have any friends. ”

"It's okay, as long as you can often chat with me to relieve boredom."

Autumn can't help but slander, do I want to make money with you all day long.

At this moment, Granny Cai came to the door of the house, "Lady, the meal is ready." ”

"Ah, the meal is ready!" Qing Niang put down the teacup in her hand, "Then serve the food, don't forget to prepare a pair of chopsticks for Ah Shan." He asked Qiu Se again, "Qiu Niang doesn't mind sharing the table with Ah Shan, right?" ”

Qiu Se shook her head, she is the soul of modern people, and she doesn't pay so much attention to the men and women of ancient people, and she just eats at the same table, but why doesn't this Qing Niang care?

Qing Niang pulled up Qiu Se and walked towards the dining room, "Qiu Niang came to taste my sister's food." ”

The dining room is next to the kitchen, and the table at the door is full of twelve dishes full of six cold and six hot, and the autumn color is a little staggering, this Qing Niang is really a loser, and the three of them actually made such a big table of dishes!

Qing Niang instructed Granny Cai, "You go and see if Ah Shan is here." ”

Granny Cai answered, and after a while, she replied: "Lady, Master Hu and Zhao Zhu are coming soon." ”

As soon as Granny Cai's words fell, Qiu Se heard a slightly familiar voice, "Put the basket directly in the corner over there." Then there was the sound of many people moving around and falling to the ground.

"Master Tiger, what are you doing here? What are these things? Granny Cai's puzzled voice also came.

"Ahsan, what are you doing?" Qing Niang frowned and wanted to stand up and go out to look, but when she thought of something, she went to get the veil and put it on. The autumn colors are not so particular, and they follow directly behind and go out of the door.

It seemed that he was busy outside the door, so he only heard Ai Laohu say: "Zhao Si, you take two green melons back, one for the brothers in the yali to share, and the other you take home, and give them the money by the way." ”

Another flattering voice sounded, "What kind of money do you need to move some things for the tiger master?" The brothers want to find an opportunity to honor the tiger master, but they can't find it! ”

"Alright, stop being a sycophant, come with me." After Zhao Si finished speaking, he suddenly looked behind Ai Laohu and was stunned.

Ai Laohu subconsciously wanted to turn back, but he was surprised by a crisp female voice behind him: "Watermelon!" ”

Qiu Se looked at the corner of the courtyard in surprise, there were more than a dozen bamboo baskets stacked, and each basket was full of big green-skinned watermelons.

Later, she learned that people in ancient times paid more attention to food, and if farmers planted fruits such as watermelons, they would be regarded as not doing their jobs, and only those eunuchs would plant some for their own consumption.
