Next Chapter

"Miss, get up, Father-in-law Li sent an invitation to invite you to the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace for a banquet." Ye Zi walked in with a red post, skillfully pulled up the moon-white gauze tent, and the person on the bed moved when he heard the sound and hummed softly.

Ye Zi called again, "Miss? The person on the bed finally sat up, Ye Zi hurriedly stepped forward to serve, their young lady, although she is the daughter of the general, but she is well-read, even if she has just woken up, she is so good-looking.

Yuan Muqing changed into a cyan dress and sat in front of the bronze mirror, "Yezi, help me put a simple bun, I'm going to take a look in the shop today." The maid who was called a leaf looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh that their young lady's temperament and appearance were not bad.

"Yes, miss." While speaking, Ye Zi has finished the bun in his hand, and the simple white jade hairpin is between the green silk, clean and noble, with a tender white face, pink cheeks, eyebrows like a distant daisy, eyes like stars, and green clothes, giving people a gentle and clean feeling.

"Hey, I really don't know what kind of person can be worthy of Miss" Ye Zi muttered quietly, put on the last veil, and went out with Yuan Muqing.

Yuanfu is located in the bustling street, two streets across the street is Yuan Muqing's shop, the same is the prosperous area, "floating begonia" this shop is a gift from the general Yuan Yi to his daughter.

This gift has cost Yuan Yi a lot of attention, his daughter and Lu, it is time to send something special, as a general, Yuan Yi, is not as pedantic as a literati, for his only daughter, Yuan Yi wants to cultivate her some things that boys will, so that she has the courage and fortitude of a man in her bones, and does not throw herself into the face of running a shop, but also to increase her daughter's knowledge and relieve boredom.

So there is a floating begonia specializing in some gadgets of his daughter's family, under Yuan Yi's teaching, Yuan Muqing not only looks gentle, but also has some of his father's heroism.

Floating Begonia was originally a small shop, but in the hands of Yuan Muqing is well organized, there are all kinds of things about girls, rouge gouache, cloth tailors, all kinds of things, this kind of business methods, so that Floating Begonia is in the same industry and the premier Pingyun Zhai in the same position.

As soon as he entered the floating begonia, a guy led the master and servant into the back of the shop, Shopkeeper Guo stood up, saluted and said "Miss", Mu Qing nodded and said: "Shopkeeper Guo, I just came over today to have nothing to do, you continue to be busy." ”

The shopkeeper Guo returned to the table to read the account book, the shopkeeper Guo was personally transferred out of the house by Yuan Yi, who was specifically responsible for assisting Yuan Muqing in the operation of the floating begonia, she was honest and flexible, and she relied on the shopkeeper Guo very much.

After walking around the shop, looking at the brocade that had just come out this year, I walked into the screen in the middle and sat down to read the ledger of this summer.

"Miss Su, you're here, please come here."

Su Shuiyan walked in with her skirt and walked into the depths of the store led by the guy, the inner room of the floating begonia is a place prepared for the rich and noble, similar to the private room of a restaurant, this is also the first idea that Yuan Muqing's floating begonia came up with, Su Shuiyan walked in, and looked like a beautiful lady.

"Miss, why did you come to Fuhaitang, Pingyunzhai over there is ready, why did you come here to pick out the wedding dress." "You don't understand, it's all ready over there, I'm not going, I just want to toss, so that Lu Qingping has no reason not to accompany me."

Yuan Muqing raised his head through the screen when he heard the sound, looked at Su Shuiyan who came in, her beautiful posture, and at first glance, she was a young lady from a big family with a golden spoon, turned her head to look at Yezi, and Ye Zi whispered in Yuan Muqing's ear: "This young lady is the only daughter of Su Taiwei, named Shuiyan."

Su Shuiyan sat on the Taishi chair, and the maid beside her took out the red cloth the same, showing in front of her, the brocade of the new season, all kinds of patterns, but it didn't seem to make this young lady care.

After a while, a tall man pushed the door in, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, striding forward, even if Yuan Mu Qing's other men didn't know, she also knew that this son who walked in was the second son of Lu Chengxiang's family, Lu Qingping, and the master behind her rival Pingyunzhai.

At the beginning, Yuan Muqing also thought about putting this Pingyunzhai under his hands, and only after many inquiries did he know that this shop was actually owned by the second son of the prime minister's family, and the second son's shop in Beijing was not only this one, and the industry was strong, I am afraid that there were too many involved, and Yuan Muqing did not let his little servants continue to inquire.

The two sons of the Qi family can be said to be the beloveds of the rich and noble lady in the capital, the eldest son Lu Qingfeng, I heard that he is about to take over his father's position as prime minister, and he is a successful young man, which is very mysterious.

The second son, Lu Qingping, did not have any performance in his career, it turned out that he was engaged in business in private, it was difficult for him to be a low-key businessman, and it was only rumored that he was romantic, and now it seems that this is not necessarily the case, and the affair may just not want the Prime Minister's Mansion to cause greater trouble. These are all things that Ye Zi usually tells her, and when I look at the second son of the Qi family today, I know that the rumors that Ye Zi usually talks about are still not credible.

"Ping Gongzi" Su Shuiyan's maid saw Lu Qingping approaching and saluted, but Su Shuiyan didn't look up, and pretended to be angry at the moment when someone approached, Mu Qing couldn't help but feel that the person sitting at the table was cute.

"Shui Yan, when I came out, my eldest brother had something to look for me, and I was late."

Lu Qingping squatted in front of Su Shuiyan, his eyes were level with the person in his eyes, and he coaxed softly. Seeing Lu Qingping's patience and gentleness, Su Shuiyan's original careful thoughts in her heart were scattered.

"Forget it, you're the busiest, and your eldest brother is the most important." Lu Qingping shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, his usual humble son-like appearance.

Su Shuiyan remembered that when she was a child, at that time, she often went to the prime minister's house with her parents as guests, Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingping were still young, Su Shuiyan was only five or six years old, she and Lu Qingping were more familiar, because Lu Qingfeng was as cold as an iceberg at a young age, and he looked stern.

So when the two parents said that they would get married, Su Shuiyan did not hesitate to choose Lu Qingping, who was not so cold, just because Lu Qingping was gentle and polite to her at that time.

Lu Qingping has been polite for so many years, calm and self-controlled, only when she sees Su Shuiyan can she rarely laugh a word or two, she wants to toss him a little, and wants Lu Qingping not to treat her fiancée so calmly and self-controlled, but she can't see the deep pampering in Lu Qingping's eyes, which is different from others.

"I've never been to the floating begonias."

Lu Qingping stood up and looked around, the elegant ornaments, although they were in the business of money, they did not show the cheesiness of money, such an opponent was really rare.

"I really want to meet the boss of this floating begonia" Yuan Muqing looked at Lu Qingping and looked at the screen, as if he had discovered her existence, but he was a smart opponent, thinking that it would not be good to sit like this, so he got up and decided to meet the second son of the Lu family.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Su."

Mu Qing walked out from behind the screen, blessed his body, and looked at the pair of beautiful people in front of him with a smile.

"No offense, I hope you forgive me, it's an honor for you to come to the shop."

Xiangbi Lu Qingping had already made it clear that she was the master behind the floating begonia, and Yuan Muqing did not hide it, and greeted the guests generously.

"Miss Yuan is polite."

Lu Qingping looked at the people who walked out from behind the screen, and when he thought of the incident that the eldest brother told him before he went out, he couldn't help but be more curious about the pearl of the Yuan general's palm, in normal times, he would not invite a competitor to see him so recklessly, and he would cause trouble to his father and brother by sitting on his business business, but today the eldest brother entrusted him, and he didn't care about anything else, in Lu Qingping's heart, there was nothing more important than Lu Qingfeng, the eldest brother.

Su Shuiyan knew for the first time that Fu Haitang was actually a female boss, although the person in front of her was not wearing expensive fabrics, nor was there a hairpin with gold and silver, but such a simple and elegant dress could feel the style of a famous family in every gesture.

Yuan Muqing is dressed elegantly, which is very different from what outsiders think is the "daughter of a martial artist", saying that she is the daughter of a great Confucian, this all-round bearing, outsiders who don't know the truth will not question it.

"Since the two of you came to pick up the fabric, I asked the shopkeeper Guo to introduce the two of you, and the hospitality was not good, I hope you will bear with me."

Ye Zi led the shopkeeper Guo in, it was Mu Qing who walked out of the screen and told Ye Zi to invite the shopkeeper Guo, it was not that she was not familiar with the brocade in her shop, but it was the first time they met, Mu Qing was still not used to being too enthusiastic, and looking for the shopkeeper Guo was enough to entertain these two, and it was not a loss of etiquette.

Yuan Muqing only came to the store regularly to check the accounts, occasionally staring at the craftsmen to make jewelry, looking at the new clothes and rouge gouache, and did not really receive customers.

The shopkeeper Guo entertained the two distinguished guests, and Yuan Muqing said hello and walked outside the floating begonia store.

Lu Qingping saw this Miss Yuan for the first time, although he had already known that she was operating this floating begonia, but the secret in this kind of industry must be Su Shuiyan did not know, and looked down at the carefully probing eyes of the people next to her shoulder following the back of Yuan Muqing walking out, so he bent down slightly, and explained to her in a voice that only two people could hear

"She is the young lady of the Yuan family, the only daughter of General Yuan Yi, Yuan Muqing."

Su Shuiyan knew it in her heart, but she didn't give up on Lu Qingping's acquaintance with other girls as usual, she knew in her heart that Yuan Muqing's temperament was different from those women, giving people an indescribable feeling, and she didn't hate it, but she secretly looked forward to becoming close friends with such a woman in her heart.

Lu Qingping watched Yuan Muqing walk away, the Miss Yuan family mentioned by the eldest brother before is really extraordinary, but what is special but I can't say it, I am really curious, how does the eldest brother know Miss Yuan, or in a few days, he should be called sister-in-law.

Su Shuiyan secretly hooked Lu Qingping's hand, Lu Qingping smiled helplessly, let her hook her hand, and really accompanied Su Shuiyan to pick up the fabric of the wedding dress.
