Volume III-8 The Leader of the Flower Country (I)
The Leader of the Flower Country (I)
After the newlywed, Lian'er no longer shies away from the eyes of outsiders, although it is the same gorgeous, but it is a little more soft and coquettish around Xinjie, so that men have a little more brilliance and happiness in front of people.
Since Lian'er took action to treat Xinfeng and Cao Pozi when they met that day, the prestige of the third young grandmother in the Tang family has also been established. Those who originally wanted to take advantage of the days when Xinjie and his wife lived in the old mansion to plot also stopped for a while. What happened in the old mansion would naturally spread to the Tang family's industry and various shops. Since Lian'er was promoted to the head of Baekhuatang, many people in Gyeonggi Province are still waiting. After this one, many people who had a fluke mentality were honest.
Xinjie was in the circle of friends in the capital and among his brothers, and when he mentioned his wife in his speech and demeanor, he looked like he had a wife and everything was enough, which made everyone around him feel that the recent third young master was much more cheerful than in the past.
When Tang Lan wrote to bless her son and daughter-in-law, although she still used rigid words, her joy was still revealed between the lines. Xinyue was sincerely happy for them when she received the good news in Hangzhou, and wrote a few pages to congratulate them, and at the same time sincerely expressed her love for her brother and sister-in-law, hoping to get along with her sister-in-law more in the future and be more beneficial to herself.
Since returning to Beijing with Lian'er, Xinjie has taken her to his own Yuehuaxuan, Yuehuaxuan and the people of Aoki Club have long respected her as the boss lady, and now she is a legitimate boss lady, Xinjie has gradually stopped meddling in these daily details, and Lian'er is in charge, In addition to official duties, try to make time to accompany his wife and enjoy a good time in Aoki Garden.
Although Red Sleeves and Hualu were sad after Xinjie got married, they both knew that they could not compare with Lian'er in any way. After seeing it in the courtyard on Nanqin Street last time, the two sisters knew that they were not even worthy of being an opponent of Lian'er. What surprised them was Lian'er's sincerity in treating them, and she had been polite to them in the small courtyard on Nanqin Road that day, without any embarrassment or contempt. The day before Baihuatang's jasmine powder went on the market, Lian'er also asked someone to give them two boxes, saying that she was grateful to them for helping to test the samples. After the incident of the guys from Tianyin Pavilion giving Red Coral on the wedding day, Red Sleeves thought that the third young grandmother would hate her and find someone to suppress her. As a result, I didn't expect the third young grandmother to say that someone else was using the name of Red Sleeves to find trouble, and she was not to blame. After the fright, Red Sleeves gave this woman a very high evaluation in his heart.
Usually Hua Lu and Red Sleeves are invited by guests to go to Yuehuaxuan and Aoki Tea House, if they meet Lian'er there, they will take special care of it, send some extra tea and snacks over, so that they can also have a great face in front of the guests. At the same time, it also shows that even if the third prince is married, if they are in trouble, the third prince of Tang will still take care of it. Since she was officially promoted to the position of proprietor, she has been in and out of the store a lot more than before, and Lian'er has seen the singing and dancing performances of these two in both Yuehuaxuan and Aokien.
Sometimes it was brought by the guests in Yuehuaxuan, and sometimes it was Yuehuaxuan who specially invited two people to make a cameo. The voice of the red sleeves is sweet and tactful, and the dancing posture of the flower dew is enchanting and moving, and it also brings many guests to Yuehuaxuan at this time. In this way, people outside are even more convinced that these two are still within the protection of the three young men of the Tang family. And Sanshao's newlywed wife is often present to watch, which makes people can't help but have a lot of reverie. Could it be that the young lady was generous enough to accommodate these two? It's normal to tolerate it, how to say how the lady of the main room needs to deal with the fireworks woman. From this point of view, this young lady is rare. Some people also speculate that the third young master is powerful and intimidates the woman, not only obeying at home, but also taking care of the man's flowers and plants outside. For a while, many men in Beijing were very envious of Tang Sanshao, and this blessing of Qi people was really not something that everyone could enjoy.
These rumors have more or less reached Lian'er's ears, and even Princess Jing'an in the palace has heard about it, and she has knocked on the side for some reason. Lian'er laughed it off. In fact, Red Sleeves and Flower Dew are two women who eat by their skills, except for Xinjie, they never get close to anyone, nor do they pretend to be colors to anyone. But from this point of view, Lian'er still admires them very much. If it weren't for the intimacy between them and Xinjie, she wouldn't mind really being friends with these two, especially Hua Lu, who danced first-class, and played the guqin very well, which seemed a little cold to ordinary guests, but not humble or arrogant, making people feel that they were neither flattering nor too lonely. If you are familiar with her and understand her personality, you will know that Hua Lu is extremely bold and righteous.
On this day, I met Hanaro again at the Aoki Tea House. Unlike the nodding in the past, today Blossom wants to talk to her alone. Lian'er didn't ask much, and conveniently invited her into the Peony Pavilion where she often sat up. After sitting down in the Peony Pavilion, Hualu frowned slightly, and kept playing with the bracelet in her left hand, and stopped talking. Lian'er naturally knew that she must have something to say, and the topic was inseparable from Xinjie, but her identity made her nervous and didn't know how to talk about it. She smiled slightly: "Miss Hualu's bracelet is very beautiful, and the high-grade mutton fat jade has been raised for a long time." ”
Hualu didn't expect her to ask the bracelet, how smart she is, and she has dealt with countless scenes in the party, she is familiar with people's hearts and human nature, and knows that this is the third young grandmother who gave her face, I don't want her to be too nervous, this is also her thoughtful place. Hualu looked at Lian'er with a smile, stood up and said, "Hualu thanks the third young grandmother for her tolerance." Originally, with our status, I really didn't dare to expect a valuable person like you to treat us like this. If you change to the wife of another family, I am afraid that I will call someone to drive you out long ago, where will I treat you politely. ”
"Miss Hualu is polite, I treat Miss Hualu like this because Miss Hualu's personality and backbone are worthwhile."
Hua Lu frowned slightly, she didn't have much contact with this young lady: "Madame knows Hua Lu? ”
Lian'er smiled slightly: "Knowing someone doesn't have to be with her for a long time. Do you know why I chose the Peony Pavilion to sit with you today? ”
For this question, Dew was a little at a loss and didn't know how to answer.
"One is that this is an open hall on all sides, and there is no one around, so naturally there are no ears on the walls; And then for you, from the perspective of the flower country, Sister Hualu can be regarded as the best of the flowers, worthy of the peony in this flower. ”
The young lady laughed, If it is perfect and noble, it should be you. The last time I came to the door with Redsleeves, I was so presumptuous. ”
"If anything, in fact, if it weren't for the fear of Xinjie's heart, for fear that he would think it was weird, I really like my sister's character, and I am really willing to be friends with my sister. I'm sure Applejack's vision wasn't bad back then, otherwise why would so many people focus on you and Sister Redsleeves. ”
Hua Lu widened her big eyes that were slightly innocent and inconsistent with her identity, and asked timidly, "You don't care about our past with the Third Young Master?" ”
"You said it all, that's in the past. After Xinjie and I returned to Beijing, even when we were not married, my sister kept a considerable distance from him. Now that we are all married, my sister is even more respectful of him. If someone had to get involved with my sister in any way, I would tell him clearly that when a man is young and frivolous, he will always have some playmates. Now that we're married, he's back to his roots. And my sister is even more cautious and has never crossed the distance. In this way, not only did I have a respect for my sister, but also made Xinjie grateful. Besides, everyone has a past. His past is a thing of the past, and it's impossible for me to participate. When people are young, they are easily influenced by those around them. It should be said that Applejack is dating the two of you, and it is his luck. Or rather, I should be grateful to my sister. A man has to have some experience to mature, and I can see from him that the experience and influence that the two have given him is at least positive. This also shows that the two sisters are upright people. ”
For this statement, Flower Dew was very surprised. They have always been despised, especially the good wives and mothers of the families, the good wives and mothers of the official families. Although Hualu has her own principles and righteousness, she never expected that the famous family would give her a positive evaluation. This forced her to surrender to Lian'er's wisdom and heart. Maybe only someone like her could be worthy of him. In other words, only a woman with such a heart can convince him.
"My sister wants to talk to me today, obviously not for family life, is there anything Lian'er can help you? Someone bullied you? ”
"No, no, although now everyone knows that the third young master no longer goes to my place, but people outside know that Yuehuaxuan and Aoki Tea Society are very kind to me, so no one dares to make a mistake, thank you Young Lady for always taking care of us. It's just that I may be leaving Beijing soon, and I want to say goodbye to you and the third young master, but it's really just a simple farewell. ”
"Oh?!"
"Boss Qiu is old, he doesn't want to do it, he wants to give Evian Pavilion to others, and several bosses have been talking to him recently. You know that Hualu has always been a showman there,... ..." Lian'er naturally knew except when she met her husband, and couldn't help but smile.
"Boss Qiu is a good person, he naturally won't force us as a boss, but it's difficult for a new boss to talk about it. As far as Hua Lu knows, the few people we are talking about now are all rushing to make money, and it is difficult to say what will happen to the boss for the sake of silver. That's natural, it's a geisha, but the boss doesn't listen to the customers.
"I have also saved some money in the past few years, I could have begged Boss Qiu, maybe I could change to a free body, but you also know that with a background like ours, if we really get out of our nationality and live alone outside, we will inevitably be spurned by others, and even someone will calculate, and what is even more terrible is bullying and bullying, and in the end we will not be able to live in peace. Lian'er naturally knows how difficult it is to be a man, let alone a woman with this kind of background, she has to sigh for it.
