Volume III-1 Gangnam's Early Spring (IV) (I)
Early Spring in Gangnam (IV) (Part I)
Xinjie was dressed in a black robe, wearing a white silk ink embroidered landscape cloak made by Lian'er for him, heroic and elegant, and his black hair was tied high with a white headband, without any superfluous decoration. The angular features still look ruddy and refreshing in the cold night of early spring. Thinking of seeing the little woman in the mist just now, there was a rare faint smile on the corner of his mouth. After lunch, he took the girl to the hot springs for a while, although she squirmed and had to be wrapped in a cloth towel before going into the water, but in the mist to see her tightly wrapped delicate figure, gracefully walked when the breeze blew her hair and the corner of the long cloth towel, the scene of drifting out of the dust made him seem to see the fairy from the fairyland. Until she approached, he held his breath for a moment, lest he disturb the little fairy, but he didn't dare to move for a long time, let alone reach out to touch it, as if he would poison and defile her if he stretched out his hand.
And this woman is a treasure, and once in the water she is a fairy and a strange fish spirit. After entering the water, the cloth towel fit more closely to her, translucent against the alluring mountains, and instantly made him stand from the sky to the ground, and his whole body tensed. Where would you think of an inviolable fairy, just thinking about peeling off the scales of the fish to further appreciate it. But the girl was not your average naughty, and to his surprise she was very watery, and she evaded his pursuit lightly in the mist of the water, until he grabbed the corner of the cloth towel, and then pulled her into his hand. With such a tempting lotus in his hands, he naturally spared no effort to enjoy a meal, but it was only a small meal, he was not yet satisfied, let her rest for a while, and continue in the evening when she was done.
He found that she liked to be in the water, in the water she didn't seem to have the initial pain, it seemed that the hot springs made her more enthusiastic, whether it was to comply with his request, or to take the initiative to cooperate with him in action, it was much more relaxed than usual, and she couldn't help but take the initiative to climb up to him. Maybe when he enters Beijing, he should also prepare a large courtyard and build a good soup pond for her. The current residence in Beijing is a small courtyard where my aunt and he went to Beijing to rest temporarily. In the past few years, it is because he is the only master, and he is away all the year round, busy in and out, but he just needs a simple place to freshen up and sleep, and he has never thought of changing to a better place. He should give her a comfortable home. It should be said to build a comfortable home that the two of them share together. In the past, home was indifferent to him, but now he yearns for home.
He walked out of the inner courtyard and walked all the way to the account office in the outer courtyard. The shopkeeper and the man of the Aoki Annex, who were indifferent and rarely gentle, shook the gentleness of the master, and the sudden change made them a little uncomfortable. However, a few people are very self-aware, and this pleasure is not that the master thinks they are doing a good job, but that this year, there is Miss Biao by his side. Not long after I arrived today, I heard that Miss Biao ordered the kitchen to prepare some dishes, all of which the master liked, and asked the kitchen to prepare ginseng soup for the master. Usually they don't have much time to see their master, but they have always been alone, and they are busy everywhere, and no one cares, but now they finally have Miss Cousin who loves him, which is really a good thing. Not long after, I heard that the master ordered to make soup for Miss Cousin with good fish maw, and also ordered a bird's nest every night for the past few days. Obviously, this time the master is interested. Shopkeeper Zhao was also happy for his master, and when he saw that his master had entered the account room, he obviously routinely wanted to talk to him about business. He hurriedly instructed Xiao Er: "Go to my yard and tell my aunt-in-law, take a jar of high-quality peach nectar brewed by her and send it to Miss Cousin." He didn't explain much, he knew that the young master and young lady of the Tang family knew medical skills, and when he saw the honey, he would see the formula, and naturally knew that this was a thing that warmly nourished a woman's body, and he only hoped that the master could be healthy and happy. Then he went into the account room and got down to business.
After the daily inventory of the items, the shopkeeper suddenly heard the master say: "Tomorrow, when my lady is resting, you come in to meet her, and she will help me take care of the affairs of Aoki Club in the future." Especially the business everywhere. "The shopkeeper and the account room who came together to settle the accounts, the foreman of the front yard guy, and the head of the local guards in the courtyard were all a little surprised, I haven't heard of the master's marriage, this is called a lady?! The shopkeeper was happy, but fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly this afternoon, and asked his aunt to send something over first, and expressed his heart first. Obviously, the master is serious this time, but I don't know if the young master is easy to get along with, whether she is capable of managing these businesses well. In these years, the business of the Aoki Society has never been interfered with by the Tang family, and the master intends to let everyone recognize the rhythm of this master. It's just that the housewife of this Aoki Society is not an easy task, Aoki Society is not only a teahouse, nor is it just a restaurant like Yuehuaxuan, Aoki Society also has a lot of business that is not noticed and known by ordinary people. A woman, like Mrs. Tang or the aunt of the Tang family, may be able to do it, but can other women be successful?
"You don't have to guess, you'll know when you see you tomorrow, I hope you can believe in my lady's ability as much as you believe me."
It is not surprising that everyone was surprised and questioned, after all, everyone did not understand.
"You don't have to think too much, in fact, you may have heard in the past few days, she is also the chief steward of the Tang family's Baihuatang. It was not for nothing that my grandmother could hand over such a big stall as Baihuatang to her. ”
Baihuatang, This is the masterpiece of the old lady and aunt of the Tang family, outsiders only know that it is a charitable industry, planting flowers and plants, selling embroidery, but Baihuatang also has its own Jingwei and a series of hidden strengths, and it is extremely complicated to manage.
The expressions of these people did not escape Xinjie's eyes, he just wanted to let his subordinates know that Lian'er was not only his woman, but also one of the masters of this Aoki Society in the future. He couldn't give her a grand wedding now, he already felt that he owed her, how could he let his subordinates despise her in the slightest? He can not care about the Tang family and the people of the Tang family, after all, it will be the eldest brother and Xinye in the future, even if this time grandma asked several subordinates of the Tang family to follow out to do errands and go to Baihuatang to inspect, in Xinjie, they are still members of the Tang family. This Aoki Society is different, it was slowly spelled out by himself step by step. Even if he wanted to give it to his woman completely, no one else could say anything.
After nightfall, the Zhang family's birthday banquet continued. The stage was still babbling and singing, and some of the guests who were going back to the city had already left, and most of them had stayed here to enjoy the hot springs and stay overnight before returning tomorrow. The head of the jade family had already left after lunch, leaving Zhao Weimeng and the other two people here to socialize. Zhao Zhiyuan followed the Sun family brothers and sisters, and played with a few children of the family in Hangzhou for most of the day, and at this moment several people discussed going to the hot springs. Sun Yaoyang glanced at Zhao Zhiyuan ambiguously, and Zhao Zhiyuan suddenly remembered what happened in the flower canopy in the morning, and blushed. Sun Yaoyang's heart was a little more comfortable, this woman, since she saw Tang Xinjie in the morning, she was a little absent-minded, she was really a little watery. But it's okay, anyway, I'm just playing with her, and she can only achieve his goal by marrying someone surnamed Tang. If after getting married, the man runs all over the world, and she can't keep it, it will be even more interesting, thinking about her slippery skin, he unconsciously itches a little in his heart, and looks at her eyes with a little more color. After the morning's events, Zhao Zhiyuan naturally understood his eyes, and her face turned even redder.
When she was thinking wildly, she saw Hong'er, the little girl she was serving, quietly come in and pull the corner of her clothes, she quickly reacted that it was her father who arranged it for her, and Zhao Zhiyuan quickly went out with her. Hong'er took her out at the back door of the Lotus Garden, turned around twice, passed through a bamboo forest, and came to a long corridor covered with wisteria, only to see a gray-clothed guy standing under the tree, and when he saw her coming and looked her up and down, he then held back his voice and said: "Sanshao is going out tonight, he is now in the account room and the shopkeeper is discussing, and he will pass by here later and leave the courtyard." Someone has already put something in the tea he is drinking now, he didn't have fun this afternoon, with that tea to help the fun, the interest is even higher, it will be very uncomfortable not to release it, you have to behave well. Let the master be happy, he is a long-term person, you are a good family, I will give you an explanation. Then he took out a porcelain vase, "This is rose dew, you drink it first, and then take this silk handkerchief in your hand." As long as he gets his hands on it, he throws away the silk handkerchief, and don't let him grab the handle. If he calls you another woman's name, you must say yes. There's a hut behind this cage of bamboo, and it's all in it, and someone will be around here to give you a lookout. ”
"My dad asked you to come?" The other party's words were so straightforward, which made Zhao Zhiyuan surprised and felt a little ashamed. Although she promised her father in the afternoon that she would cooperate with him to win the three young people, how could her father let a little girl come and tell her such an unsightly thing in person. It's just that the other party's eyes looked at her very plainly, as if she was looking at an ordinary tool, not the eldest lady of Yumen, which made her feel humiliated, I don't know who is Yumen's subordinate, so eyeless, she scolded in her heart.
The other party seemed to see through her thoughts, and said coldly: "Your father spent money to ask me for help, and we will naturally do things for him after receiving the money, and we will definitely send you to Sanshao." But with those two of you, I really don't know if it's good or bad for you. ”
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Since your father gave you a high price, I will give you a few more words. Tang Sanshao is a shrewd person, there are many women around him, and there are many people staring at him, if you don't have some means, it will be difficult to stay by his side for a long time. Don't talk far, the Miss Bai next to him now, you are not an opponent. If you want to follow him for a long time and not be squeezed away by other women, you have to use your brain to find out how to catch him. I can put you in his bed, but I can't make him really like you. ”
