Yumi Zhai

Seeing that the day of delivery according to the contract was getting closer and closer, Ye Yuntian had been refusing to come to the door to find him, and Fu Wuniang couldn't sit still. During this time, she has been waiting in the shop almost every day for Shopkeeper Ye to come to the door.

It's a pity that as time passed, he didn't come to the door after all.

So she sent someone to inquire, only to learn that the shopkeeper Ye had gone to the Colorful Wind Jade Store and Jubaozhai successively, and found Tang Chongde and Tang Xiangyou, and asked for peace in a low voice.

As for the result, the negotiations were fruitless.

Thinking of a proud person like him, he was willing to lower his body and swallow his anger, Fu Wuniang's heart felt a little uncomfortable. But why didn't he come to him? If it weren't for him, he would never have shown up in Zhenbaozhai.

Moreover, with the ingenuity of Shopkeeper Ye, it is impossible not to guess that he was also involved in this incident. Let's ask, how many people are there in this Qingshan County who are wearing veils and are the objects of Jubaozhai and Colorful Wind Jade Shop to win over with all their might?

But, since he guessed, why didn't he come to himself? Could it be that he despises himself in his heart and looks down on himself?

Or, if you are not beautiful enough, it is better to cherish that slut who looks good?

Thinking of this, Fu Wuniang summoned her personal maid butterfly and said firmly: "Go buy me a few boxes of rouge and come back, go now." By the way, if you want that kind of glamorous, it's, well, the kind that Lady Fleur rubbed last time. ”

Fu Wuniang's words made Butterfly surprised and overwhelmed, and wondered if she had misheard the order, or maybe she was stimulated by something.

Without him, just because Fu Wuniang has stopped using rouge since eleven years ago, and every day is just plain face. And if he hadn't returned to the shop or met a very familiar lady, he would never have taken off his veil.

Now, she suddenly offered to put on makeup, and she still wanted the rouge of Lady Fleur, what the hell was going on? You know, Mrs. Fleur's rouge is so famous that ordinary people don't dare to use it.

Thinking about it, Butterfly hurriedly turned around and went to the bedroom to get enough silver, and then walked towards the best rouge shop in the city. That kind of rouge is sold in limited quantities every day, and it is not something that can be bought with silver, and many noble ladies are waiting in line.

However, she was confident that she would be able to buy it. Later, as soon as the three words "Fu Wuniang" are spoken, even if it is really sold out, the boss will naturally have a way to even-out some.

Just look at Liu Yunxuan, you can know that his master just went to sit for a while and didn't drink tea, but now the whole city is drinking the kind of tea that the master has drunk in rumors.

As she walked, she thought that the butterfly had a vague idea in her heart, but she was not sure. If that's the case, it's not a bad thing.

Fu Wuniang has the appearance and talent praised by the world's scholars, but she has always refused to marry, which has long caused everyone to talk about it. It would be nice if she could really figure it out this time and find someone who loves her to marry.

After the butterfly left, Fu Wuniang went to clean her face, and then sat in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror blankly. Although she is gorgeous, she has more style that she hasn't had for many years, but she is no longer the same person she was at the beginning.

She will always remember that summer thirteen years ago.

That year, she was twelve years old, and in the eyes of her family, she was just a little girl who had not yet grown up, and she did not know anything about the world. But in fact, the naïve is only age.

In fact, she already knows what to do.

Since the age of eleven, she has been in style. At that time, they kept asking for it, but without exception, they all hoped that when they grew up, they would be carried over to be concubines.

At that time, the patriarch was very moved and almost wanted to agree. It was her father and mother who desperately protected her that she was able to escape such an unbearable fate. What good end can a gorgeous but concubine have?

Just when her fame spread far and wide and attracted the covetousness of many powerful people, something happened that changed her life. It was also this incident that made her insist on being celibate until today.

On that day, it was the day of the annual release of the list, and the sisters in the boudoir pulled her to go, and they also found a great place to watch early, just to see the merry boy with the title of the gold list.

Also, when the title of the gold list is titled, it can be regarded as the beginning of the career of these scholars in their lives, and it can be regarded as the best moment. Because at this time, most people don't know that the career is not what they imagined, let alone the hardships and dangers on this road.

All they know is that if it's high school, they just need ecstasy and have fun.

I have to say, it's a great location. Through the window where they were sitting, they could clearly see the scholars who had come to check the list on the other side.

Not surprisingly, she saw people who were ecstatic because they were on the list, and of course, people who were depressed because they were not on the list. These people bore her. If you fail to make the list, you can take the exam again, at least there is a chance.

A daughter like her, no matter how smart she is, she doesn't even have a chance.

Faced with a close friend who was fascinated by it, she drank tea boredly and glanced at another place at random. It was at this glance that she saw Ye Yuntian, who was not the shopkeeper of Zhenbaozhai at that time.

From then on, for the next thirteen years, there was only room for this person in her world. His every move was deeply rooted in her heart and lingered.

Hearing that he liked Li Yishan's poems, she looked everywhere to study them carefully. Although the poems were obscure, after hard work, she actually understood;

Hearing that he likes to drink tea, she learned the tea ceremony, but she can taste all the tea that can be bought on the market, and cook it well;

Hearing that he likes gentle and elegant women, she deliberately changed herself, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I never wear makeup, I just have clear soup and noodles every day, and I don't have a face to the sky...... She even thought in her heart that when she grew up, she would ask someone to propose marriage.

I'd rather be his wife than the concubine of the powerful.

It's a pity that Ye Yuntian didn't see her efforts to transform at all. Because at that time, he only had one person in his eyes.

She once pretended to be a passer-by passing by the two of them, but what she saw was the tenderness and sweetness in Ye Yuntian's eyes. It's just that these are all cherished.

It's just that she doesn't have nothing.

Those skills that she cultivated in order to cater to the hobbies of the shopkeeper Ye unexpectedly achieved her fame and became the same "Erjiao" as Gu Xixi.

When he arrived at the rouge shop, he saw that it was a butterfly, and the boss was already very surprised. Even if Fu Wuniang's maid comes to buy rouge in her shop, it can still be promoted. Who knows, what he heard was: "Boss, my master wants two boxes of rouge and phoenix incense." ”

The boss didn't think about it, and asked blankly, "What does your master want?" ”

got a positive answer, and the boss immediately smiled all over his face: "Yes, yes, you wait, I'll go get it." By the way, Sister Butterfly, do you need us to send a car to take you back? Holding two boxes of rouge, walking so far, in the end, is a little tired. ”

Hearing this, the butterfly smiled and declined. It's just two boxes of rouge, less than a mile away, and she really won't be tired.

The footsteps of the butterfly woke up Fu Wuniang who was in deep thought, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, how many years have passed, she is still like this, and she can't help but think more when she thinks of Shopkeeper Ye. He didn't speak, he took the rouge and took care of his thrush.

The rouge that Butterfly bought was superb, although she didn't use it for a long time, she knew it as soon as she smelled it. People often say that this phoenix incense is very valuable, and it costs a box of one hundred taels of silver. But now it seems, that's it.

Drawing eyebrows and lips, dressing her face and hair, and when she finished dressing up, she stood up and said to the butterfly faintly: "Butterfly, am I beautiful?" ”

Butterfly hurriedly said: "Of course it's beautiful, Miss is the first beauty today." "The butterfly didn't talk nonsense, Fu Wu Niang, who has always been dressed up with a plain face, is still so colorful, it is simply glamorous.

If you go out and walk for a while like this, the whole city will be hotly discussed tomorrow.

Hearing this, Fu Wuniang was noncommittal, sat down in front of the dresser again, and said half-ringingly: "It's okay, you can go down, by the way, from today onwards, I will make up like this, understand?" ”

Seeing that the butterfly looked confused, Fu Wuniang did not speak.

Many things are indeed like this, whether you understand it or not, it still exists, and it will develop according to its original trajectory.

This time, I am indeed sorry for the shopkeeper Ye. No matter how much you hate and cherish it, you shouldn't take advantage of the Ye shopkeeper. In the final analysis, it was my lack of consideration that made me agree to the two devils on impulse.

Originally, she thought that Gu Xixi would take the initiative to help Shopkeeper Ye, after all, the shop belonged to hers, and Shopkeeper Ye's love was also her.

If that's the case, she'll admire it.

However, in the current situation, she understands that perhaps, she loves no one and loves her, she only loves herself.

Since this evil is self-inflicted, let yourself put an end to it. Even if it's the last thing he does for him, it's time to leave Qingshan County.

From now on, she will no longer remember who Ye Yuntian is, nor will she set foot in Qingshan County for half a step. If it weren't for him, she would have lived in the capital.

Gu Mansion

Zhou Ying honestly knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and did not dare to look up at Mrs. Qin, who was sitting on top of him. He knew in his heart that although Mrs. Qin's eyes were closed at the moment, she was deaf and clear, and Mother Zhou was still standing next to her.

This old guy is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and how many things in this family can be hidden from her.

To say that there are a lot of secret guards around Mrs. Qin, but in the end, it was Zhou Ying who had the last laugh when they were used. It's not that he has an organic spirit and can figure out Madam Qin's mind. All this is just because he is loyal enough to obey Madam Qin alone.

As for the others, they either had a different heart because they received a huge amount of silver tickets, or they couldn't move when they saw a beauty, and they had already been used by Mrs. Qin as a favor and given to other families.

It took a long time for Mrs. Qin to suddenly open her eyes, and said impatiently to Zhou Ying a little irritably: "Bring that damn order and show it to me." I'd like to see how subtle this order is. ”

At this moment, Zhou Ying felt that he could understand Mrs. Qin very well.

I think that at the beginning, when he received Gu Xixi's order, he was as angry in his heart, and reported it directly to Mrs. Qin. Whose secret guard is not used to carry out major tasks, it is better now, I regret letting him steal.

If it gets out, he, Zhou Ying, will definitely become a joke in the dark guard world.

Although Mrs. Qin didn't say anything at that time, she just let herself go all out and be sure to succeed. But as soon as he reached the door, he heard the sound of a teacup falling to the ground in the house.

Not daring to think about it, Zhou Ying hurriedly took out the order from his arms and presented it. If it weren't for Madam Qin's instructions that he could do it, he would have brought it back a long time ago, so he could quickly complete this strange task.

But Mrs. Qin didn't know what the reason was, so she had to let him stare at the other party, and she didn't give an order until last night.

Holding this order, which made Gu Xixi, especially Yao Wushuang, feel even more angry, Mrs. Qin's heart was even more angry, and she casually threw the teacup on the table, and scolded at the same time: "Yao Wushuang, this idiot! Is she a pig! I think to say that she is a pig is insulting a pig. I also think that there is something special about this order, but the key is a little smaller. I've been following me for so many years! ”

"Madam, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry with yourself." Seeing this, Zhou's mother hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Mrs. Qin.

When the air was smooth, Mrs. Qin scolded again: "Such black and white words, such harsh conditions, such obvious loopholes, she actually dares to accept it!" She really thought that she was asked to go to Zhenbaozhai to make money, but she was just going to post a man! This idiot! It's no wonder that even a shopkeeper doesn't look down on her. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ying was suddenly full of black lines. He couldn't help but think about how Yao Wushuang, who had always prided himself on being smart and generous, would react when he heard such words.

But Zhou's mother has been sitting quietly and has no big reaction. This made Zhou Ying particularly admire her.

As soon as the teacup landed, a maid immediately stepped forward to clean it up with low eyebrows. In just a few minutes, the floor was as clean as ever, as if the teacup had never fallen on the ground.

Zhou Ying didn't know why Mrs. Qin was so angry, but Mother Zhou knew. To say that the second lady finally cut off the love thread with the shopkeeper Ye some time ago, and Yao Wushuang fell in love with the shopkeeper Ye again, for more than ten years, things are finally developing in a good direction.

Who knows, Yao Wushuang, an idiot, actually did such a thing, so that Shopkeeper Ye and Second Miss began to form a line to defend against foreign enemies again.

Maybe it was scolding and scolding, and the teacup was smashed, Mrs. Qin's anger finally disappeared a little, and at this moment, her gaze at Zhou Ying also softened.

I only heard Mrs. Qin say, "Have you found anything during this time?" ”

Zhou Ying said briefly: "Through observation, I found two things worth telling my wife. First, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Colorful Wind Jade Store is actually Tang Xiang and Tang Chongde, and this shop is opened by the two of them. Tang Xiang would introduce the customers of Jubaozhai to Tang Chongde free of charge from time to time. In addition, Tang Xiang was actually born in Tang Chongde's father's outer room, and the two were actually half-brothers. ”

Seeing that the Qin family heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, and Zhou Ying continued: "The second is that Fu Wuniang of Youmei Zhai has actually always been in love with Ye Shopkeeper. According to my observations, she should take action in the near future and prepare to help Ye Shopkeeper. It's just that I don't know what she'll do. ”

"Alright, you go down, I see. Go to the steward and take what you deserve. Mrs. Qin said lightly.

Zhou Ying thanked him and left quickly. The task was finally accomplished, and he finally didn't have to be a thief.

As soon as Zhou Ying left, Mrs. Qin began to support her forehead with her hand, looking like she had a headache. Mother Zhou hurriedly made a cup of ginseng tea, put it on the table in front of Mrs. Qin, and went around behind Mrs. Qin to massage Mrs. Qin's temples.

"You said that Wushuang's child is so reckless, to say that I have taught her a lot in front of me all these years, why haven't I learned it at all. Just like her, how do you say I can rest assured that she is in charge of the shop! Mrs. Qin said weakly.

Over the years, Mrs. Qin has indeed taken Yao Wushuang with her and taught her a lot of things. As for what was taught? Mother Zhou sneered in her heart, it was because Mrs. Qin was unwilling to dirty the hands of the eldest and second misses.

Mother Zhou said: "Miss Wushuang did not think about it this time, I think she is in a hurry to behave in front of Shopkeeper Ye." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Qin stood up, didn't let Zhou's mother continue to massage, and pointed to the stool and said, "You sit down, let's talk." ”

Mother Zhou always has a way to cheer up Mrs. Qin.

"This is just a little humble opinion of the slave. However, in front of the man you like, which woman is not like this, let alone the peerless girl, you just look at Fu Wuniang. Zhou's mother said cautiously.

Originally, she wanted to tell Mrs. Qin that although Wushuang was outrageously wrong this time, it was not without benefits. But as he spoke, he almost pulled Gu Xixi into the water, so he immediately turned the gun and aimed it at Fu Wuniang. I have to say that the information brought back by Zhou Ying is still useful.

Thinking back then, Gu Xixi was infinitely beautiful, but he fell in love with Ye's shopkeeper, so Mrs. Qin didn't bother a lot.

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin really became interested, and looked at Zhou's mother as if she was suddenly open, and said, "Then according to what you see, what should I do?" ”

She knew in her heart that Gu Xixi would definitely come to the door for help in the past two days, after all, the delivery date was about to come. If he can't hand it over, Shopkeeper Ye will naturally go to prison.

Seeing that Qin's family was like this, Mother Zhou no longer hid her clumsiness, but she also didn't answer directly: "Then the slave maid is going to ask Madame, does Madam want to make the second miss happy but cherish the past for a lifetime, or does the second miss want to live a life of pain for a short time but peacefully?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin became even more interested.

I have to say that Zhou's mother thought of going with her. The Qin clan pretended to be angry and said, "You old goods, but you are selling in front of me." Instead, tell me what it means to live a life with a happy heart but a heart for the past, and what it means to live a life of short-term pain but peace and stability. ”

Mother Zhou knew that this could not be declared, so she said: "Madame is like a mirror in her heart, but she has to say it to the slave, I don't dare." We are slaves and maids, and we are still good at our duty. Just like me, just serve a good lady. ”

"If you say it, you can say it, I don't blame you." Madam Qin said impatiently.

In that case, let's talk about it.

Zhou's mother said: "Since that Fu Wuniang has been obsessed with it for more than ten years, she loves the shopkeeper Ye. Just now, Zhou Ying said again that she will definitely take action in the near future. In that case, let's wait and see. According to what the old slave saw, she would not stand idly by. When Shopkeeper Ye is out of prison, she will take action. ”

Mrs. Qin was a little hesitant, "How sure are you that Fu Wu Niang would do this?" "Doing so is no less than ruining your reputation. Such a famous talented woman, wouldn't this be self-destruction of the Great Wall.

Hearing this, Zhou's mother said: "Although I am not ten percent sure, but please believe that the old slave will definitely be eight or nine points sure." Just look at her persistence for more than ten years. If she didn't really like Shopkeeper Ye, she wouldn't have lasted so long. ”

When Mrs. Qin heard this, it was indeed the truth, so she smiled with satisfaction: "You said eight or nine points, that is eight or nine points." So what do we need to do? ”

Zhou's mother said, "Second Miss may come to beg Mrs. in the next two days." At that time, Mrs. must not be angry, just promise the second lady. ”

Only then did Mrs. Qin understand that in fact, Zhou's mother's plan was not necessarily very clever, in the final analysis, it was just taking advantage of the comparison of the two women.

Since her daughter has to like Shopkeeper Ye, let her continue to like it. When she took the silver ticket and thought she was great to save Shopkeeper Ye, she found that Fu Wuniang had already rescued Shopkeeper Ye, and she didn't know how she would feel.

And when the time comes, which woman is heavier in the heart of Shopkeeper Ye, the answer is self-evident.

Zhixian backyard

Gu Xixi took her two children to play in the house, but she was obviously absent-minded. These days, she's been worrying about the shop. In other words, she didn't want to admit that she was worried about Shopkeeper Ye.

If it's a few hundred thousand taels, it's a big deal to run around, and it's enough to make up. It's just that this time it costs 10 million taels, and the contract is clearly written, if the goods cannot be delivered on time, in addition to compensation, they will also let the shopkeeper Ye go to prison.

Even if the two of them have no feelings and no intersections, she is still anxious and uneasy when she thinks that Shopkeeper Ye is going to prison.

No one in this world knows Shopkeeper Ye better than her.

This person's sense of responsibility is very strong, so strong that he will definitely take the initiative to admit his mistakes this time, and he will definitely not let Yao Wushuang suffer. However, at the same time, his self-esteem is so strong, he absolutely can't stand to go to prison.

Although he is ready to never get involved in officialdom again in this life, and no longer take the test for fame, this does not mean that he can bear it.

After thinking about it, I had to open my mouth to my mother's family.

The day after tomorrow is the delivery date, thinking of this, Gu Xixi stood up, called the housekeeper to prepare the carriage, and went back to her parents' house with the two children.

Hearing the return of her subordinates, Mrs. Qin lost her mind for a moment.

In her heart, how she wished that her daughter would never come back during this time. Fortunately, she was prepared, and what the next person said: "The second lady is back with two children." ”

It just so happens that she also misses her two grandchildren.

Thinking of the child, Mrs. Qin's heart tightened again, and those wastes didn't have any clues yet. There was a person who actually lied to her and said that she suspected that she had arrived at the temple. But if you really become a monk, it would be even better.

What she didn't know was that soon, she was going to meet Ye Feng.

The two children called Qin's "grandmother", and the three of them played for a while, and then Qin asked the children to stay and play.

Between her and Gu Xixi, there is still business.

Gu Xixi saw that Zhou's mother was there, and the Qin family didn't let her go down, and after thinking about it, anyway, there was nothing Zhou's mother didn't know about this family, so she said carefully: "Mother, when I came back this time, I asked my mother for help." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the Qin family.

Seeing Gu Xixi's appearance, the Qin family was about to get angry, and Zhou's mother hurriedly pushed the Qin family behind her.

Finally suppressed his anger, Qin Shi said: "Silly children, they are all their own mothers and daughters, what do you say. Don't say that you have a child now, and you have become a mother yourself, even if I can't walk anymore, I will still be your mother. Okay, you say, what's going on. ”

The sincerity of what he said made Zhou's mother, who was worried on the sidelines, completely relieved her heart. It seems that the Qin family has converted all their hatred for Shopkeeper Ye into love for Gu Xixi.

How much the Qin family hates Shopkeeper Ye, how much they cherish it at this time.

Fortunately, Shopkeeper Ye didn't know this, otherwise, he would definitely be dizzy for a god like the Qin family.

Seeing the Qin family like this, Gu Xixi was also moved, she knew in her heart that she would definitely not like the Qin family like this, but this time she was really desperate.

After thinking about it, Gu Xixi said: "Mother, I guess you also know about the shop, the delivery date is coming soon, but I can't get so much silver in my hand, and it's not good to watch people...... People go to prison. ”

The anger in Qin's heart rose again, in the final analysis, Gu Xixi still whispered so much for the sake of Shopkeeper Ye. Ever since the child was lost, this daughter of her has always hated her, how could she have been so gentle as she is today.

Seeing Zhou's mother winking at her, the Qin family was unmoved, to be honest, she still wanted Gu Xixi to understand her hard work. She can give out the silver, but she has to cut off the shopkeeper Ye with a knife.

Qin Shi said, "You also know that ten million taels is not a small amount. For your sake, my mother can take it out, but you also have to promise my mother that you will live a good life from now on, and some people still don't want to see each other. ”

"Thank you, mother, my daughter understands. Don't worry, when this matter is settled, my daughter will never see him again. "For the Qin family's generosity and additional conditions, Gu Xixi is quite satisfied.

"That's good, you go back, my mother will go and prepare." Qin suddenly became happy.

After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother understood, turned around and went out.
