Chapter 14: Misfortune Meets Beloved
As the saying goes, misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. In all these things that happen around us, good and bad are not absolutely independent. We must not jump to conclusions until we get the final result, lest we cause trouble and cause us to regret our mistakes. If you don't wake up until then, most likely it will be useless, and it's too late to regret it.
In mid-March, the weather gradually warmed up, and most of the people in Luoyang City began to buy single clothes. As a result, the business of the silk village has also become more and more prosperous, so that it has reached the point where supply exceeds demand.
In this way, it is busy with the suppliers who supply the silk and satin estate. Originally, they didn't come once for several days, but now they have to come to deliver the goods twice in three days.
Among these suppliers, there is one that has to be mentioned, that is, Sui Yuanwai, who lives in Yanshi County, east of Luoyang City.
Sui Yuanwai is a well-known wealthy businessman in Yanshi County, and has been in the silk business with Xu Yuanwei's father for many years, and has a very personal relationship. To this day, Sui Yuanwai still maintains close contacts with the Xu family and has a very good relationship with many people.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to go to deliver the goods again.
What is different from the past is that this time the delivery person has changed from the previous Sui Mansion housekeeper to Sui Yuexuan, the daughter of Sui Yuanwai.
And the reason why such a change occurred is because Sui Yuexuan had followed the team to the silk village a few days ago, and by chance, she was fortunate to become a good sister with Xu Ziyan who talked about everything. Sui Yuexuan's main purpose was to be able to make friends with her sister Ziyan again.
On the morning of the same day, the convoy full of silk slowly entered the Changxia Gate.
At this moment, Xu Sicong, the director of the Silk Village, was waiting quietly on the side of the street not far from the city gate.
Xu Sicong saw the convoy entering the city, so he greeted it with great interest. But what Xu Sicong never expected was that the person who got off the carriage was actually a strange woman. And when Sui Yuexuan saw Xu Sicong, she also felt a little surprised, because when Sui Yuexuan came to deliver the goods before, she was personally received by Xu Ziyan, but this time for some reason she actually changed people, which inevitably made Sui Yuexuan, who came to see Xu Ziyan a little disappointed.
Seeing this scene, Xu Sicong was stunned, and he stared blankly at Sui Yuexuan, who got off the carriage.
Fortunately, a guy standing next to him reminded him in time, which saved Xu Sicong from falling into embarrassment. But Xu Sicong, who has always been quiet and self-contained, seems to have been frightened by those bizarre experiences before, so he has left an indelible psychological shadow, which leads him to mistakenly think that all the ladies are like tigers, leopards and jackals.
However, judging from the various signs of Sui Yuexuan's speech and behavior habits, she seems to be relatively serious, at least not as frivolous and uninhibited as some people, which also makes Xu Sicong's hanging heart relax a lot.
Just when everyone went to the silk village, the sunny sky that had just been clear and sunny became dark clouds in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that it was about to rain, in order to prevent the silk on the car from being wet by the rain, Xu Sicong, Sui Yuexuan and others hurriedly ordered people to come and quickly unload the goods after they came to the door of the silk village. In the process of everyone hurriedly unloading the goods, Xu Sicong was surprised to find that Sui Yuexuan, who was everyone's best girl, was able to participate in it, which shocked Xu Sicong.
Seeing this scene, Xu Sicong took the initiative to meet her and wanted to help her. "How can you be asked to do such menial work? Let me do it! ”
Xu Sicong said that he was about to take a few rolls of silk in Sui Yuexuan's hand, but Sui Yuexuan said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm used to it." After speaking, Sui Yuexuan walked into the house again.
Xu Sicong, who was standing next to the carriage, looked at Sui Yuexuan's back who was walking into the house, and was even more impressed by her.
Xu Sicong smiled and said to himself: "What a strange woman who is different!" ”
At this moment, Xu Sicong suddenly heard the voice of the guy behind him greeting Xu Yuexiao, Xu Sicong immediately turned around to check when he heard it, it turned out that it was really Xu Yuexiao who came.
Xu Yuexiao can really be said to be a rare guest in the silk village, even if this silk village is her own family's industry, Xu Yuexiao rarely visits here. But since Xu Sicong came here, Xu Yuexiao has often come to the silk village. In just a few days, Xu Yuexiao has come here more times than the total number of times in the past ten years. She came here for no other purpose, mainly to see Xu Sicong.
Since the last time I saw Xu Sicong at Xu's house, Xu Yuexiao's youthful and budding young heart has been quietly awakened by Xu Sicong, a mature and stable big boy.
Since then, Xu Yuexiao has come to harass Xu Sicong every now and then. But in Xu Sicong's heart, Xu Yuexiao is his master, and even his sister. In addition, Xu Sicong has no thoughts about Xu Yuexiao.
And Xu Sicong, who had learned from the past, was even more respectful to Xu Yuexiao, and when he saw that she was coming, Xu Sicong immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, why are you here?" Quick, house please! ”
After Xu Sicong beckoned Xu Yuexiao into the house, he went to the counter and ordered his subordinates to serve her tea and snacks, while he still had to go to unload the goods.
Xu Yuexiao originally wanted to let Xu Sicong accompany him for a while in a coquettish way, but unexpectedly, Xu Sicong didn't eat this set at all. Xu Yuexiao was very angry about this, so she decided to find someone who was easy to bully to be angry.
Xu Yuexiao was worried that she couldn't find anyone here, but at this moment, Sui Yuexuan happened to come out of the warehouse in the backyard, so Xu Sicong happened to go out with Sui Yuexuan to unload the goods.
Xu Yuexiao looked at Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan, who were unloading together outside the door, and watched the two pass in front of him holding silk back and forth. Although Xu Yuexiao didn't know Sui Yuexuan at this time, she must not be able to bear Xu Sicong's ignorance of her love at this time, but she talked and laughed with other women. Even if the conversation between the two was so prosaic, it sounded extremely harsh to her.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Yuexiao could no longer endure this kind of painful torture similar to hellish demon fire, so she resolutely decided to start looking for trouble.
Xu Yuexiao rushed out of the house angrily with Yushuang, walked quickly in front of the last car of silk, and sneered at Sui Yuexuan, who was unloading in front of the car. Sui Yuexuan still wondered, she had no relationship with the woman in front of her at all, why did she make it so difficult for herself?
Others don't know what's going on, but Xu Sicong on the side doesn't know? Xu Sicong saw that Xu Yuexiao deliberately embarrassed Sui Yuexuan, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. Who knew that it didn't matter if he went, the angry Xu Yuexiao made trouble again towards the silk on the car.
I saw Xu Yuexiao walk to the front of the car, lift the cloth that covered the satin, take a roll of silk out of his hand, and start to make trouble unreasonably.
She first held the satin in her hand, stroking it back and forth on its incomparably smooth surface, and then deliberately wondered: "Why is the surface of this satin so rough, wow, there is no feeling of softness at all!" Look at the workmanship, the color, the fabric! Tut-tut......"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuexiao took out another roll of silk from it, and then put it in front of his nose and smelled it: "Yo! This silk is all moldy! Do you dare to send such third-rate goods here? ”
"That's it! Don't look at what kind of place we are, this is 'Xu Ji Silk Village'! Decades old, do you want to smash our signboard? Seeing this, Yushuang also began to echo on the side.
There is really what kind of master has what kind of subordinate, even the maid is so unscrupulous, let alone Xu Yuexiao.
As he spoke, Xu Yuexiao deliberately pretended to sneeze, and the silk in his hand immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Sui Yuexuan immediately bent down to pick it up, but Xu Yuexiao took the opportunity of her to pick up the silk and deliberately stepped on Sui Yuexuan's hands. And after stepping on her hand, Xu Yuexiao actually lied that she didn't see it, she didn't mean it. In fact, a discerning person knows at a glance that this is not an unintentional mistake, but Sui Yuexuan is knowledgeable, so he disdains to argue with her.
After getting up, Sui Yuexuan silently unloaded the goods and didn't say anything. Seeing that Sui Yuexuan did not resist, Xu Yuexiao intensified even more. And Xu Sicong on the side couldn't help this, so he could only watch Sui Yuexuan being bullied by Xu Yuexiao for no reason. At this moment, Xu Sicong suddenly felt that he was really a wreck.
Fortunately, there was not much cargo left, and it didn't take long for all the goods to be unloaded. Xu Sicong originally wanted Sui Yuexuan and the others to leave after having lunch here, but Sui Yuexuan insisted on rushing back.
I didn't want it to rain suddenly in the sky at this time, but Sui Yuexuan had already made up her mind, and Xu Sicong couldn't do more to keep it. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and the Sui family's fleet had many years of experience in delivering goods, and they always carried the rain-sheltering clothes and umbrellas with them, so there was no big problem.
Then, Xu Sicong followed the convoy and sent Sui Yuexuan to Changxiamen. Along the way, Xu Sicong kept apologizing to her, but Sui Yuexuan remained silent.
Sui Yuexuan didn't board the carriage until outside the Changxia Gate, and Xu Sicong also sent her here. Although these things were not done by Xu Sicong, they were inseparable from him after all. Xu Sicong saw that Sui Yuexuan was unwilling to accept his apology until this time, and his heart was never good.
Who knew that at the moment when Sui Yuexuan boarded the carriage and lifted the curtain, she suddenly turned around and smiled and said to Xu Sicong, goodbye.
At this moment, all the problems in Xu Sicong's heart seemed to be relieved at once.
How beautiful it was to turn around. Even though his clothes were already wet from the rain at the moment, he still didn't feel the slightest cold.
Xu Sicong, who was relieved, also smiled and waved goodbye to Sui Yuexuan, looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared, Xu Sicong smiled and turned around and walked towards the silk village.
