Shen Yu was slightly unhappy in her heart, it turned out that the old lady believed in the rumors outside.

Sheng Yanqing's gaze crossed Shen Yu's body, and he responded cheerfully: "Okay, everything is up to grandmother." ”

Mother Tao is Mrs. Sheng's wife, and she has been in the Sheng family for many years and has some prestige. As soon as this move came out, even the eldest lady and the second lady had nothing to say.

The two could only mock a few words in private, and did not dare to question the old lady's decision.

The tea party is scheduled for three days later, that is, on the 14th day of the lunar month. In order to familiarize themselves with the affairs and understand the opponent, early the next morning, Shen Yu and Sheng Yanqing set off for the provincial capital.

Before going out, Hexiang turned out all the clothes in the closet, and said worriedly: "Miss, Uncle has just left, this dress is too plain, can you wear it to the provincial capital?" ”

Shen Yu stretched out her hand and nodded at Hexiang's head, "This time I went to the tea party, and I fought for craftsmanship, what does it have to do with clothes?" ”

"Who says it doesn't matter? What do people from the provincial city say, fashionable, this dress will be laughed at. "Lotus incense has a reason.

The Sheng family is a traditional family, the old lady loves the cross-shirt and skirt, and the younger ones like to wear the newly popular cheongsam, but in exchange for it, it is nothing more than those few colors and styles.

Shen Yu chose a beige cheongsam, embroidered with pale pink cherry blossoms, surrounded by sparse small flowers, and wrapped in a soft mink shawl, which made her elegant and exquisite.

This is one of the few colorful clothes in Shen Yu's wardrobe, and Hexiang always feels that there are shortcomings, but when Shen Yu and Sheng Yanqing stand together, she feels that it is perfect.

Sheng Yanqing likes to wear a stone blue gown, while Shen Yu is wearing a beige cheongsam, one calm and graceful, and the other delicate and elegant.

Seeing these two people standing together, He Xiang couldn't help but think in her heart, in fact, it was the second master of the Sheng family who was more compatible with Shen Yu.

The Sheng family had a brand-new Dodge car, and when Shen Yu packed up and went out, the car had already stopped at the door and waited.

Sheng Yanqing sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Shen Yu and Tao's mother sat in the back row.

The car has a special driver, but today it was a guy with a face.

Sheng Yanqing was a little strange, he was about to ask, but the guy hurriedly said: "Second master, the little Li Sheng, is the long-term worker of the Sheng family." Xiao Liu, who was driving, had a white affair at home, he took leave and went home, and I came to replace him for a few days. ”

There are many servants inside and outside the Sheng family, including temporary short-term workers, and long-term workers like Li Sheng, who have been sold to the Sheng family since childhood.

The servant's affairs are all in charge of the housekeeper Xie Changli, and Sheng Yanqing doesn't know much. But since he sold himself to the Sheng family, there is a deed of sale, so it stands to reason that there will be no problem.

The old lady ordered that she should not stay overnight, and the schedule was tight, Sheng Yanqing nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

After crossing, this was the first time that Shen Yu had left Qingshui Town, and everything on the road made her feel very novel.

During the Republic of China, there were nearly 100 years from the 21st century in which she lived, and it was a strange feeling to sit in a Dodge car and walk on the road a hundred years ago.

The place where the Sheng family is located is Qingshui Town, and then it is Wanghai County, and then it is the provincial capital Tongcheng.

Tongcheng is near the river and the sea, and the best merchants will gather here to buy and sell, and tea trading is also a very important part of it.

Entering Tongcheng, the street suddenly became lively, with cars coming and going, rickshaws, and the cries of newsboys, showing a prosperous scene of the city in front of Shen Yu.

Mother Tao came to the provincial capital for the first time, she was dizzy and couldn't help but say: "This time Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, Grandma Da, look, what kind of clothes are people wearing here?" ”

Shen Yu smiled and said: "That's a dress, people in the city love to be fashionable." Men wear suits and women wear dresses. ”

The so-called dresses of this era are called retro in the 21st century, and Shen Yu is used to it.

After entering the provincial capital, several people went to the hotel where they settled first.

It was a tall and thin young man who came to receive him, and when he met him, he said, "Brother Sheng, why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Shen Yu saw that this young man was a little familiar, and before he could ask, he introduced himself: "Yang Huirong, I am a doctor, we met in the Sheng family last time." ”

Shen Yu smiled, it turned out that Dr. Yang was Sheng Yanqing's friend, no wonder he would go to the clinic in the middle of the night last time, and he took a lot of care of Xu Xinyue.

After a bumpy road, Tao's mother went back to the room to rest first, and a few people went to the restaurant outside to eat.

Yang Huirong said: "When you come to the provincial capital, you must eat this French food, the chefs here are all foreigners, and the dishes are authentic." The big customer you will meet in a moment, Mr. Wang, has been in France, and he is very particular about food. ”

Yang Huirong said and handed over the menu, "Lady first, Miss Shen order first." ”

Shen Yu opened the menu and took a look, they were all dishes she was familiar with, and she had missed each one for a long time. After staying in the Sheng family for a long time, she didn't expect that she could actually eat French food in the provincial capital.

Every dish is delicious, every dish wants to be eaten, Shen Yu looked at it, and couldn't make up her mind for a while.

Sheng Yanqing said: "The steak here is good, there are black peppers you like to eat, side dishes you can try oysters, foie gras, and mousse cake for dessert." ”

"Okay, then let's have these." Shen Yu nodded, Sheng Yanqing was worried that she didn't know what to order when she ate Western food for the first time.

He didn't choose this restaurant's signature dish, snails, because he was afraid that Shen Yu would eat it for the first time, and he didn't know how to start.

While waiting for the meal, Yang Huirong said: "At six o'clock tonight, Mr. Wang held a banquet in his annex, and I got you two invitations, do you want to go and have a look together?" ”

On the way, Shen Yu heard Sheng Yanqing say that the big customer this time is called Wang Shijun, who is the vice president of the Beiping Chamber of Commerce, and has some prestige.

He came to Tongcheng this time, not only to purchase tea, but also silk, porcelain and other local things, many suppliers have seen this opportunity, want to impress him, pull one or two orders.

The banquet at night must be a group of demons dancing.

"Since you're here, of course you're going." Sheng Yanqing said, "This is an opportunity for us. ”

As Mrs. Sheng said, if you want to make your business bigger, you have to get out of Qingshui Town, and if you can win Wang Shijun, it will be a good start.

Soon, the dishes were ready, Yang Huirong and Sheng Yanqing had eaten Western food several times, and the two were familiar with knives and forks, but to their surprise, Shen Yu was also very familiar with knives and forks.

Shen Yu was a little surprised when she saw the two of them, and explained: "In the Shen family, I used to eat Western food. ”

Sheng Yanqing's eyes are soft, Shen Yu is always like this, there will be many surprises when you get along with her.

After eating, when Yang Huirong was about to pay the bill, he found that Sheng Yanqing had already settled the bill.

He beat his chest and paused, "Brother Sheng, it's so easy for you to come to the provincial capital, don't you give me a chance to have a meal?" ”
