Yu Yuan placed Yu Tang and Xiang in the inn, and took Xia Pinggui to the Ping'an Liquor Store to inquire about the news. Yu Tang was not idle, she sent Miki out: "You go and inquire about the Jiang family, the more detailed the better." He also gave him dozens of copper plates, "Don't worry about money, buy people bags of fried melon seeds, sugar peas or something." ”

Miki privately listened to Ah Tao boast, saying that he never left empty hands to do things for the eldest lady, he was very envious at the time, of course, he was not envious of Ah Tao for having a reward, but envy Ah Tao for being able to gain the trust of the owner. Now that he also had the opportunity, he was naturally overjoyed, and happily responded, carefully put the copper coin into his purse and ran away.

Xiang looked at it and smiled: "In the end, I am still a little younger, and I am not calm enough to do things, so I have to hone for a few years." ”

Yu Tang flattered his sister-in-law with a smile: "With my sister-in-law here, I am worried that he will not be able to learn the skills?" ”

"How can I be as good as you say?" Xiang's face was slightly red.

The sister-in-law joked a few words with each other.

Xiang proposed to go out for a walk: "Don't go far, just take a look at the side." ”

The inn where they live is also on Canal Street, which is very lively and prosperous.

Yu Tang naturally wants to accompany him.

The two went to Huanchai, changed into coarse cloth clothes, wrapped their heads, and took Shuangtao and Xia Lian out of the inn together.

Next to it is a family selling silk and satin, the two went in and walked for a long time, bought two white silk, two white silk, four folded branch flowers of Hangzhou silk and let the guy send it to the inn, ready to make autumn shirts. As a result, he came out of the silk shop, and saw that diagonally opposite was a shop selling rouge gouache, Xiang's got up, and pulled Yu Tang to buy oil and paste, and was going to bring some back to Wang and Chen.

Yu Tang was a widow in his previous life, and he was dressed elegantly. Now it is the same age as flowers, the clothes are easy to say, but this makeup is really not, and it is already grand to wipe a lipstick at most. But what woman doesn't like to dress up? Yu Tang has a plain face, but he is afraid that he will not paint well, and he will be laughed at "ugly people are more weird", at this time, listening to Xiang's words, and then looking at Xiang's makeup is clean and tidy, looking at his radiant appearance, he couldn't help whispering to Xiang's: "Sister-in-law, can you teach me makeup?" I, I won't do that. ”

Xiang Shi glanced at Yu Tang in surprise when he heard this, pursed his lips and pinched her face with a smile, and said, "You still have to put on makeup like this, and you don't let us people live." You, don't toss around, just take a lipstick like now, and after painting makeup, it's better not to paint? ”

When the two of them were talking, they would inevitably ignore the people and things around them, and Xiang suddenly bumped into someone. The other party "ouch" coquettishly, Xiang and Yu Tang have not seen the person clearly, they have already made a statement, and when they raised their heads, they found that Xiang hit a seventeen or eight-year-old woman, wearing a half-new gold gown, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, very beautiful, just a pair of eyes dripping and turning, holding a box of rouge in his hand, standing there enchantingly, beautiful with a little frivolity, not like a woman raised in the boudoir.

Yu Tang was stunned.

Gao's!

She actually met Gao here.

That's a ...... Bad fate!

How could she be here, though?

Ordinary people will go to Hangzhou City even if they go shopping.

Yu Tang thought about it, and the Xiang clan over there had already said anxiously: "Miss, I'm sorry." Where did it hit you? Does it matter? Then he looked around for a moment, and instructed Xia Lian, "You hurry up and ask, see if there is a medical center around here, and we will take this young lady to the medical center to have a look!" ”

It's just that before Xia Lian agreed, a man came over, grabbed Gao, and said eagerly: "What's wrong?" ”

Gao's big watery eyes looked pitifully at the tall and handsome man in front of him, and choked up: "Brother, I was hit, it hurts!" ”

Brother?!

Yu Tang carefully looked at the man who was called Brother by the Gao family, but he couldn't remember when he had seen this person.

When the man heard this, he immediately stopped Gao Shi behind him, and said unhappily, "What do you want?" ”

My sister was hit, shouldn't I ask where it was and how it happened? How do you look like you're going to quarrel.

Yu Tang and Xiang were a little stunned, Gao looked at it, immediately pulled the man's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, I'm fine." Let's go back early! lest you wait for the shopkeeper to come to you. ”

The man's momentum suddenly disappeared when he heard this, and he turned around and said to Gao in a warm voice: "Okay, then let's go back first." After speaking, he glared at Yu Tang and Xiang fiercely, and hugged Gao and walked away.

Xia Lian was so angry that she stomped her feet and said, "What kind of person! I could see it clearly, it was obvious that she was walking without seeing anyone and hit the grandmother and the young lady, and she hit her upside down, as if we had hit her. It's also the young grandmother and the young lady are so kind-hearted......"

"That's it!" Xiang stopped her and said, "It's okay." We are outside, we must also be modest and cautious, if we can not cause trouble, we will not provoke, since everyone is fine, it should be regarded as a misunderstanding, don't say it again. ”

Xia Lian didn't dare to say anything more, and Xiang pulled Yu Tang into the rouge shop.

Yu Tang kept thinking about the rouge in the hands of the man and the Gao family.

In his previous life, the Gao family seemed to have been using this kind of rouge.

Yu Tang took a closer look at the things sold in the shop and saw the kind of rouge in Gao's hand. She asked the guy in the store, "How do you sell this rouge?" ”

The guy smiled and said: "This is the sign in our shop, called March Peach Blossom, and the face is like a peach blossom after applying this rouge......"

Yu Tang interrupted the man's words and said, "How much silver is a box." ”

The guy didn't dare to sell it anymore, and immediately said, "Five taels a box." ”

Yu Tang gasped.

The guy smiled and said, "Don't look at it expensive, it's expensive......"

Yu Tang's thoughts couldn't help but drift to his previous life.

The Gao family has a dowry, but her dowry is not much, and Yu Yuan didn't make any money in the early years, at least from her point of view, the Gao family can't have the ability to use this kind of rouge all year round.

Yu Tang was in a mess, cheered up and bought some things with Xiang's and went back to the inn.

Yu Yuan asked someone to bring a letter, saying that he would not come back for dinner in the evening, and Miki, who had gone to Jiang's house to inquire about the news, hurried back to the inn when it was time to hold the lamp.

Yu Tang and Xiang had already had dinner, and the two met Miki in Yu Yuan's guest room.

He panted and drank half a cup of tea, and then he talked to the two of them about the Jiang family: "I have inquired clearly." They live in the small Suhang Lane not far from here. The current head of the Jiang family is called Jiang Chao, but he is only twenty-two or three years old. When he was sixteen years old, his father died, and he sold his father's boat to follow his great uncle, but after two years he bought a new big boat and began to work on his own, larger than the one his father had left him. Just two months ago, he suddenly said that he was going to organize a ship to Sulu and raise shares from everyone. Everyone thinks he is whimsical, and there are not many people who have invested in the shares, but there are many people who watch jokes. ”

Yu Tang couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "I asked you to inquire about the Jiang family, what do you say about his shareholding?" ”

Miki digressed, touched his head and smiled, and said, "I also inquired about their family's affairs." Jiang Chao is neither married nor engaged, he has only one sister, who has been engaged to the Yu family next door since he was a child, and got married last year. He now lives with his widowed mother in a three-entry house, with seven or eight servants serving......"

Jiang Ling, are you already married?

Yu Tang was stunned for a moment and said, "Then have you ever heard others talk about the Jiang family's aunt and grandmother?" ”

Miki nodded again and again, "I've heard of it." said that their aunt and grandmother were unlucky, and it was Chongxi who married in the past, but who knew that her uncle's illness was getting worse and worse, and her mother-in-law sometimes talked to her neighbors and said that she regretted letting the Jiang family's aunt and grandmother go to Chongxi. ”

Don't talk about Yu Tang, even Xiang frowned when he heard it.

Yu Tang sighed in his heart.

She said, "Then can you find out where the Jiang family's aunt and grandmother go on weekdays?" ”

Miki said: "I have inquired clearly. said that the old lady of the Jiang family is not in good health these days, and the aunt and grandmother of the Jiang family will go back to her parents' house every morning and evening to have a look, and the rest of the time is spent at home to serve the father-in-law. ”

Yu Tang felt that Sanmu was quite good at doing things, praised him a few words, rewarded more than a dozen copper plates, and asked Shuangtao to serve him a plate of braised pork, a plate of sweet and sour fish, and a plate of fried amaranth for dinner.

Miki happily, thanked and thanked, and went down to eat.

Xiang asked Yu Tang worriedly: "What are you going to do here?" ”

Yu Tang said with a smile: "If Brother comes back and says that the Jiang family's business can be done, I am going to find the Jiang family's aunt and grandmother, after all, we are female dependents, and we can't go directly to Jiang Chao!" ”

Xiang Shi said worriedly: "Aunt Jiang doesn't go out, how can you see her?" ”

Yu Tang laughed and said, "We are doing business seriously, we want to see Jiang Ling, so we go directly to ask to see her, why can't we see her?" Even if she doesn't want to see me, I'll just ask for it a few more times, so it must not be a difficult task, right? ”

Xiangshi wants to say that things are as simple and easy as you think, but when the words come to his lips, think about Yu Tang's words carefully, there is really a little bit of truth.

She had to wait patiently for Yu Yuan to come back.

After Yu Yuan came back, he smiled when he heard it, and said to Xiang's family: "My sister, who can use five points of strength, will never use ten points." Don't say it, I think it's good that she's lazy. After speaking, he held Xiang's face and kissed it, kissing Xiang's deer but his face was as red as blood.

"Don't be like this, there are still people here?" After she complained in a low voice, she asked Yu Yuan, "Do you want to call Ah Mei over now?" ”

"Call here!" Yu Yuan smiled, "We still have tomorrow tomorrow." ”

Xiang personally went to invite Yu Tang.

The three of them sat down at the round table, Yu Yuan personally poured tea for them, and then told Yu Tang what they had seen today.
