、、、、、、、、、、 was about to retract his gaze, when he suddenly saw two hands reach up, firmly hugged Maya'er's waist, picked her up and put her in the air and dangled, Mayar screamed screaming, laughing, begging for mercy, but the Hu Konghou in his hand never let go, he grabbed it tightly, and he didn't let go of his hand to hug the neck of the man who frightened her because he was afraid.

You're toying with me, and I'm toying with you. Somehow, this sentence suddenly came to Peony's mind, and she looked at Maya in a daze.

Maya didn't look at the peony, but looked at the person who scared her and laughed, and the person who hugged her was wearing a black silk round-necked robe with a jade-colored undershirt, a smooth and meticulous bun with a mutton fat ancient jade hairpin, thick eyebrows, and a sarcastic smile on the corner of his lips. He raised his slightly drunk eyes, as if he was looking at Maya'er, who was screaming in panic and dripping charmingly in his arms, and was actually looking at the person downstairs.

For the first time, he saw her in men's clothes.

She's looking here.

Liu Chang kissed Maya'er's pink neck hard, hugged her by the window, and sucked desperately on Maya's neck. To hell with it, he doesn't care, it's just a stinky skin.

Shu'er tugged at the peony. Peony turned his head, gently knocked the horse's belly, and opened the East Market without hurrying.

Liu Chang became more and more enthusiastic, and Maya'er's laughter became more and more cheerful, but who cares. Maya didn't care, and others didn't care, Liu Chang pushed Maya away violently, stumbled downstairs, and rode away.

"Liu Sicheng, are you going to leave when you just come? You have no conscience. Mayar glanced at his back lightly, and shouted coquettishly, while taking out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiping the saliva he had just left on his neck, and throwing the handkerchief out of the window. Then, she adjusted her posture and clothes, picked up Hu Konghou, and sat down in the same posture by the windowsill, smiling and looking at the passers-by outside the window.

When Peony returned to Zhongzhong, he asked Ming Jiro, Goro, and Rokuro that they had not returned home yet. changed his clothes and went to Mrs. Cen's room, where Aunt Yang was laughing with Mrs. Cen. Seeing Peony come in, Mrs. Cen asked her to sit down: "How is it?" Can you see Jiang Gong? ”

Peony was hindered by Aunt Yang on the side, so he said: "I said that I went to the palace, I waited for a long time, and I met on it, and he said that it was just a misunderstanding, and it has been resolved." ”

Aunt Yang clasped her palms together and smiled: "That's good, good people have good rewards." Then he squeezed his eyes at Peony happily: "Did you meet Lu Wulang when you came back?" As she smiled, a gold-framed rhino horn comb in her hair glistened in the sunlight.

Peony saw her frowning, and didn't understand what she was going to do, but still smiled: "No." ”

Aunt Yang smiled: "He's going back to Yangzhou." He wanted to see you, but you weren't there. He never waited until it was too late. She paused deliberately and said, "He said that he will come tomorrow, let Danniang wait for him at home, and have something to tell you." ”

Lu Wulang has never seen Peony since that day for He Zhizhong and others, I heard that he would often go to Erlang and Wulang, but Qin Niang's news has never been sent back. Since he decided to leave, he still has to see himself, so he has something to ask for, and it has something to do with Qin Niang, right? Peony ignored the ambiguity in Aunt Yang's words, and only looked at Aunt Yang and smiled slightly: "Aunt Xie reminds." I remember. The comb on my aunt's head is so beautiful, I haven't seen it before. ”

Aunt Yang was a little uncomfortable, reached out and touched it, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, before the master left, I gave it on my birthday. ”

Peony praised two more sentences. In fact, she knew very well that He Zhizhong gave Aunt Yang a rhino horn comb at that time, but it was definitely not this one. He Zhizhong is very clear in this regard, such a luxurious and exquisite comb, Mrs. Cen doesn't have it, how can Aunt Yang have it?

Mrs. Cen swept the comb on Aunt Yang's head, looked at the sky, and said, "Ah Yang, the children are coming back soon, go and take a look, is the food good?" ”

This is to drive people away, and he must be talking to Peony about Lu Wulang. Aunt Yang gestured to the peony heartlessly and left with a smile.

Peony's smile was maintained until the corner of Aunt Yang's skirt disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Mrs. Cen said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

After all, it is the relationship between the mother-in-law and the concubine, and everything must be handled carefully, and you can't wronged people, and you can't miss the best opportunity because of this. Peony pondered the words: "I went to the spice shop, and I originally wanted to ask the sixth brother to accompany me to find the fifth brother Zhang and ask him to help with something." But the sixth brother was not there, and the guy said that Lu Wulang went to find him, and the two went to the wine shop to drink together. At that time, it was Shin Jeong. ”

But Lu Wulang has been in He's house since the beginning of time. Mrs. Cen's expression became serious.

Peony continued: "The old shopkeeper said that the business is still stable, and they are all old customers. I went to find Fifth Brother Zhang alone, Fifth Brother Zhang said that Sixth Brother had looked for him several times, and they were all about to go to drink, but he was busy and didn't have time to drink, so he didn't go. Later, when I was free, I went to make an appointment with the sixth brother, but the sixth brother was not in the shop. I heard that the sixth brother likes to go to the largest Hu wine shop in Dongshi the most. ”

Mrs. Cen pursed her mouth, grabbed the porcelain tea pot and drank a large cup, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "Thanks to your father, he never put the money in the shop into his hands, and only believed in the old shopkeeper, otherwise he would turn the sky upside down." Don't mention this matter first, just pretend not to know, he will definitely hear the people in the shop mention it when he comes back, and if he wants to test you, you just can't just make nonsense for a reason. Wait for me and your second brother and fifth brother to measure, first take the truth and then talk about it. ”

After the dusk drum sounded, Erlang and Goro went home first, and after hearing what Mrs. Cen said about Liulang, Erlang frowned and said, "Tomorrow I want to meet the old shopkeeper and see what is going on." ”

Gorou said: "I think he has been in a good mood lately, and he should be making money." ”

Mrs. Cen thought of the rhino horn comb on Aunt Yang's head, and said worriedly: "It's okay to win money at this time, but I'm afraid that if I lose money at that time, I will have the idea of shopping." Although the shop has its own set of rules for collecting money and counting goods, and he has to reconcile accounts every day, if he has a heart, he can find a way no matter what. What I fear most is that he will be shoddy, make the difference, and lose the reputation of the store. The two of you brothers come up with a charter to see how to deal with this matter in the best way, and before you take it seriously, you must not act rashly, and be careful not to break his heart. ”

Erlang responded: "Got it." ”

Suddenly, Rokuro's laughter sounded at the door: "Hey, today is the last time I go home alone." ”

Everyone smiled slightly, and they all stopped, not showing any special expressions. Liulang saluted Mrs. Cen first, and then greeted everyone, Fang sat down beside Peony, and said with a smile: "Danniang, I heard that you went to the shop to find me today?" ”

Peony sniffed and smelled a faint smell of wine on him, so he smiled and said, "Yes, the guy said that you greeted the guests to the wine shop." Sixth brother wants a bowl of decanting soup? ”

Liulang looked at Peony's eyes and said with a smile: "No need, brother, I have a sense of proportion, the business in the store is important, how could I get drunk so early?" I just drank with Lu Wulang for a while, and he came to our house, and I went to another Hu Ren shop to see the real fragrance. There is not much real fragrance in the store. ”

It seems that she has already spoken to Aunt Yang, Peony pursed her lips and smiled, and blinked: "Did you look at it?" ”

"The quality is not good, I didn't ask for it." Rokuro sat for a while, gossiping calmly with the others, and talking about some of the business in the store, how to be picky about which customer, how he dealt with it, etc., and behaved calmly.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, not long after seeing off the Erlang brothers, Lu Wulang came. Sure enough, as Peony expected, he came to worship her. It turned out that Qin Niang really followed King Jing, but she never lived in King Jing's Mansion, but lived in Fengle Fang, with no name and no share.

"When I first met my aunt, she pretended not to know me and had people kick me out. But on the second day, he sent someone to bring me to me. Lu Wulang sighed and said with a heavy heart: "She said that she had a good day, so let's not worry, I think it's really good." decided to go back to Yangzhou...... But two days ago, her maid came to spread the word that she had been in bad health recently. He paused, got up and looked at the peony deeply, "I wanted to go to the door to visit, but it was inconvenient to go, I thought about it, I only thought of you, please take a look, so that I can rest assured, and I will have an explanation with my mother when I go back." ”

Peony remembered that Qin Niang pretended not to see her when she saw her that day, pondered for a long time, and said categorically: "Fifth Brother Lu, you saw it, she didn't want to recognize me last time, it's not appropriate for me to go." Besides, since she was able to quietly lead you to meet last time, she will naturally be able to quietly lead you to meet this time. You might as well spend more time in Beijing, she will always find an opportunity to lead you to meet her. ”

Lu Wulang was silent for a moment, got up and took a deep look, and said, "I'm sorry for you, I told a lie." She refuses to recognize you, in fact, she has a hard time. This time......"

Peony said lightly: "This time she is in trouble again, isn't it?" ”

Lu Wulang was a little embarrassed: "King Jing has a misunderstanding with her, I haven't been to her for a long time, she is pregnant, but she can't come and go freely, so I want to ask you to go ......"

Peony gritted her teeth and interrupted him: "Fifth Brother Lu, I'm really sorry for you. I can't promise you this. I'm just a little old surname, my ability is limited, and I don't dare to get involved in the affairs of the palace, not to mention that I have suffered a big loss. If you don't have the right hand, I can do it, but I can't do it. ”

"No money, no money." Although Lu Wulang was very disappointed, there was no unhappy look on his face, he sat silently for a while, didn't say anything more, and left.

Mrs. Cen said, "Danniang, why did you reject him? Are you really angry because Qin Niang didn't recognize you last time? In fact, if you just come to see people for him, it won't be good. ”

Peony said: "No. I just don't think it's right. ”
