Chapter 475: Invited to the Yellow Mansion as a guest
She smiled politely: "Childe is polite!" β
Lu Li looked at Huang Yueyang with a wary face, and his serious expression made Su Xiaoman laugh, and said in a low voice: "Madam, how can you talk to people at will!" β
Su Xiaoman turned his head to look at his expression, thinking that this was not jealous, why was there a sour taste in his tone, and he couldn't help but smile: "Husband, this son is talking to me, wouldn't it be rude if I didn't answer!" β
Huang Yueyang clasped his hands together and said to Lu Li: "I am Huang Yueyang of Huangfu, disrespectful and disrespectful!" β
Lu Li looked disgusted, but he couldn't lose his courtesy, and he also arched his hand at him: "Lu Li! β
Huang Yueyang is enthusiastic and well-behaved, and when he saw Lu Li and Su Xiaoman's dress, he guessed that they were not from Jiangnan.
"Brother Lu and his wife came to Jiangnan to play!"
Lu Li didn't reply with a side face, Su Xiaoman hurriedly stepped forward to greet and replied: "Huang Gongzi has a good eye, our family went to the south of the Yangtze River to play, and we just arrived today and met such a grand lantern festival, the real number is wonderful!" β
Huang Yueyang said politely: "Madame praised it, this year's Lantern Festival was originally organized by my Huang Mansion, but the prince came and said that he wanted to compete with my family, which is why there is such a scene today!" β
said and continued: "That's it, I see that you are not familiar with the place, why don't you come to my Huangfu tomorrow as a guest, I will let people take you to play, everything in this Jiangnan is good, if you don't find an acquaintance to lead the way, I'm afraid those hawkers will blackmail you for money." β
Lu Li glanced at him and immediately refused: "We understand the good intentions of the son, so we still don't bother the son!" β
Saying that, he left the Lantern Festival with a group of people, and Su Xiaoman also bought a lot of things along the way, such as rouge, gouache, beads, hairpins, jade ornaments, etc., and received a lot of goods.
Su Xiaoman, who was shopping at night, had a little pain in his calf before returning to the inn to rest.
"You really shouldn't treat that Huang Gongzi like that today, it seems that you are a little stingy!"
Su Xiaoman helped Lu Li loosen his clothes and talk as he spoke.
Lu Li arrogantly asked: "I am a dignified prince, how should I treat him?" β
"You, sometimes you are compared to Wangshu, he is a child, you are more naΓ―ve than him!"
He covered his mouth and laughed twice.
Lu Li gently held her delicate hands, looked at her with loving eyes and said, "How can I allow my wife to talk to other strange men, wouldn't it be a joke to say it!" β
These words made Su Xiaoman laugh even more: "Why do you still eat this kind of sour vinegar, can't I talk to other men?" So what should I do with those businesses? Would someone be my microphone? β
Lu Li disagreed: "I am willing to be Madame's microphone!" β
As he spoke, he wrapped his hands around Su Xiaoman, hugged her from behind, and kissed her behind her ear.
Embrace each other at night.

Knock knock knock......
The sky was slightly bright, and Pearl respectfully came to the front of the room with the washing water, and knocked on the door knocker twice: "Madam, are you up?" The slave maid also washed the lady! β
Click......
Lu left the door, squinted slightly at the pearl and said: "Let her sleep more, you put the washing water here, you go and see if the cook has made breakfast, she was a little tired yesterday, don't let her worry about these trivial things!" β
"Yes!"
Pearl paused, put down the basin and walked out.
Lu Li returned to the bed and looked at Su Xiaoman, who was waking up dimly, and gently kissed him on his forehead.
"You got up so early today, is it the pearl arguing about you!"
Su Xiaoman raised his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Li and asked, Lu Li smoothed the broken hair on her forehead and shook her head: "Madame's work was really hard yesterday, and let Pearl go to organize breakfast for her husband, so don't worry about these trivial things anymore!" β
Knock knock knock......
"This pearl, didn't let her go to the kitchen to order breakfast, why did she knock on the door again!"
Lu Li shouted, got up and walked to the door to open the door, and the guard Zhao Zhe stood upright at the door.
"How are you!"
Lu Li looked at him suspiciously, and Zhao Zhe arched his hand and said, "Master, this is a greeting post sent by the young owner of the Huang Mansion, saying that he wants to invite you and his wife to the Huang Mansion as guests!" β
As he spoke, he handed the gold post in his hand to Lu Li, and he threw the post on the table with one hand and said, "I know, you go and tell the person who came to deliver the post, just say that Mrs. is not feeling well and will not go!" β
Su Xiaoman put on his clothes and walked to the front of the hall, stopping Zhao Zhe, who was about to turn around and go out: "Wait!" β
He turned his head to Lu Li and said, "Husband, if you don't go, won't you lose Huang Gongzi's face, not to mention that I am not unwell, your excuse is a bit far-fetched!" β
Lu Li asked rhetorically: "Then the lady thinks she can go this time?" β
Su Xiaoman naturally felt that it was troublesome to go to socialize, but with the attitude of a businessman, it was also beneficial to know a few more people like Huangfu, the only thing he didn't know was why Huang Yueyang wanted to invite an unknown person as a guest, could it be that the identity of this trip was already known.
"Go for sure, even if there is nothing else, it's not bad to make one more acquaintance with a businessman, looking at the style of the Huang Mansion, it must be all kinds of business touched, if you can negotiate a good business this time, it will not be in vain!"
Su Xiaoman's words instantly reminded Lu Li, and only then did he react and understand what she meant. Looking back, I still feel that I am a bit of a villain's belly, and waved his hand to Zhao Zhe: "Then you go and tell the people in the Huang Mansion, my wife and I will go later!" β
"Yes!"
Zhao Zhe was the first to leave the chamber.
Su Xiaoman pinched Lu Li's shirt, dressed him well, buttoned his waist and hung the jade ornaments around his waist, and combed his hair bun, so that Pearl came to wash himself.
At three o'clock, Lu Li and Su Xiaoman rode in a carriage, enjoying the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River all the way to Huangfu.
I saw two stone lions guarding the door on the left and right, and the servants standing at the door were also wearing brocade clothes and jade belts, and the faΓ§ade carved by pear blossom wood was very magnificent.
The housekeeper of the Huang Mansion had been waiting at the door for a long time, the servant put the low stool, Pearl helped Su Xiaoman out of the carriage, and the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face: "Ouch, welcome Master Lu to come as a guest, please here!" β
Lu Li nodded, and the housekeeper brought the group into the Huang Mansion.
When you enter the door, you can see that the oval flower bed is built on the west side of the courtyard, surrounded by red tiles, and the flower bed is planted with osmanthus, loquat trees and other trees, under the trees there are orchids and camellias, and there are plants in the north and south outside the altar.
Passing through the courtyard is a winding corridor leading directly to the main hall, which can't help but make Su Xiaoman sigh: "Don't say that the palace, even the palace is just so magnificent, it is not the residence of the richest man in Jiangnan, it is really extraordinary!" β
When I came to the main hall, I saw Mr. Huang sitting in front of the hall, Huang Yueyang sitting on the deputy seat, watching the two of them step into the main hall, Mr. Huang was full of red light, and he exuded wealth.
Huang Yueyang happily stepped forward to greet him: "I thought you wouldn't come today, but today I specially told my father that two friends who know each other have arrived!" β
Lu Li still didn't like Huang Yueyang very much, and said coldly: "Naturally, I want to come!" β
Su Xiaoman glanced at him and poked Lu Li's abdomen with his elbow, signaling him not to speak like this, and said with a smile: "Huang Gongzi invited, why didn't we come!" β
"Please be seated, please be seated!"
Huang Yueyang hurriedly beckoned the two of them to take their seats, and the maidservant of the Huang Mansion presented the best Biluochun in front of her, squatted politely and retreated.
When Master Huang saw the two, he smiled and said, "Hahaha! I didn't expect my son to know the county lord of Canglan Country, and the old man was far away! β
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed in respect.
Su Xiaoman looked at him in amazement, Lu Li's expression was even more stunned, and the two said in unison: "How does Master Huang know?" β
Master Huang touched his white beard, raised his eyes and said: "The old man has been fighting in the mall for many years, and I have heard the name of the county lord for so long. β
Su Xiaoman pursed his lips and smiled: "I didn't expect my name to spread to Jiangnan!" β
"The county lord has achieved a good story at a young age, don't say how good your ready-to-wear is, just say that the economic benefits brought to the Canglan country are also more generous than other countries!"
Saying that, Master Huang also smiled, in fact, he admired Su Xiaoman very much in his heart, from farming to embroidery to breeding, a series of them were all from a young woman, which was really awe-inspiring.
"Master Huang smiled, if it weren't for me, how could I have a chance to show it!"
Su Xiaoman finally mentioned the forgotten Lu Li, and for the businessman Master Huang, Lu Li was just a military general who didn't know anything, and Fearless was just going to kill the enemy, so he didn't have so much to say to Lu Li.
Huang Yueyang immediately posted: "The county lord can be described as a fiery eye, she saw the clues at a glance at the lantern festival yesterday, saying that our family's lantern festival is better than the prince's family!" β
Master Huang glanced at him and motioned him not to talk nonsense, and smiled again: "Oh? Our lantern festival was organized by our house in previous years, and this year the prince is interested in participating in it, but what does it matter who wins the first prize, anyway, every year is our family! β
When Huang Yueyang said this, he knew that his son was not convinced that the prince had won the lantern festival by relying on his face, so he said these words to warn his son.
The four of them talked about farming and breeding in the main hall, and talked about brocade weaving from farming, and Master Huang liked Su Xiaoman's strength as a businessman very much, thinking that it would be good if it was his daughter-in-law, but he only blamed his son for not being angry, and he didn't understand this way of business.
At the dinner table, Su Xiaoman was toasted again and again, but they were all blocked by Lu Li one by one, and Master Huang sighed: "You are the same as me, when his mother was still alive, I was so in love with her, and this Lantern Festival was also held to commemorate her." β
