Chapter 51: Rescuers from Hangzhou
"Then why are you still alone with her?"
"She came to the door herself."
"Then if you don't open the door and let her in, can she go in?"
"The door of my room is open, but when she comes, she goes and closes it herself."
"You talk and talk, why are you still hugging and hugging?"
"Where's me putting my arms around her? It's clear that she wants to post it herself. ”
"Then you don't know to push her away?"
"I pushed, but she was entangled in every way."
"Then you get her out." She puffed out her cheeks, "Don't tell me you can't get out." ”
"People are guests, drive them out...... I'm afraid of being out of line. ”
"If you leave her in the room, and the lonely men and widows live in the same room, is this a courtesy?"
"Don't you know what I do to you in my heart?" He blamed her, "What are you talking about!" ”
"You shouldn't have let her in in the first place, and if something happens, you can't tell."
"Yes, yes, yes." He stepped forward and took her hand.
"Don't pull it." Guo Xiaoxiao shook him off, "Xiaolan is still waiting for me at home, I'm leaving." ”
He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped her: "When will you come to my house again?" ”
"Not coming." She looked back, "Not again." ”
"Oh, no, you have to come next time! Gotta come! ”
Looking at her departing back, he didn't dare to catch up, so he could only call her behind her.
Guo Xiaoxiao returned to Guo's mansion, and Xiaolan greeted him.
"Mademoiselle is back." Seeing that she was holding a hairband in her hand, she said again, "Miss didn't go to Jiangfu?" ”
"Don't mention it." Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the stool and threw the headband on the round table next to him.
She was in too much of a hurry just now, and she quarreled with Jiang Zhiyuan and forgot to get down to business.
Xiao Lan looked at her expression and guessed that she had met the sea rose again.
"Why didn't Miss this headband give it away?"
Guo Xiaoxiao did not answer.
"Miss didn't see the young master?"
Guo Xiaoxiao still did not answer.
Xiaolan thought that it was better to send the headband out early. She understood Guo Xiaoxiao's thoughts, as long as she sent this hairband out, the sea rose would have no excuse to stay in Jiangfu again.
"The slave will send it to Miss Hai for you."
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't say good, nor did he say bad, just sat on the stool in a daze. Xiao Lan is used to seeing her like this, and whenever she encounters something troublesome and has nowhere to dispatch, she will look at one place blankly.
If you don't refuse, you agree. Xiao Lan went to the cabinet and got a wooden box, and the things he gave away couldn't be too cold. Guo Xiaoxiao should have thought of this matter, but he was in too much of a hurry and was in a good mood, so he was negligent.
Now that Xiaolan has repackaged it, it is not a faux pas. Xiaolan went to Jiangfu, and Jiang Feng greeted her. Xiaolan explained the reason and retreated, not seeing Sea Rose and Jiang Zhiyuan.
Jiang Feng was careful and asked Xiaolan about Guo Xiaoxiao's condition. The two of them dispersed after speaking.
finally sent the headband out, Guo Xiaoxiao was only in Zijinfang wholeheartedly.
It didn't take long for October to arrive, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Day by day, for Guo Xiaoxiao, I didn't see much joy or sorrow. Guo Qianqian has not had any more moths since the incident of Zipei, and the Guo family is quite peaceful.
Xiaolan heard Jiang Feng say that the brothers and sisters of the Hai family had returned to Suzhou a few days ago, and they did not forget to go to the Yamen to say goodbye to Jiang Zhiyuan's father before leaving. Guo Xiaoxiao didn't care about this, but Xiaolan whispered it in her ear every day.
Master Guo and Mrs. Guo learned that Murong Lang was a prodigal son, and they no longer talked about kissing Guo Xiaoxiao, and what those matchmakers said Master Guo would not dare to believe in the future.
Not to mention kissing, Guo Xiaoxiao is happy, she still wants to stay with her parents for a few more years. Master Guo has no children under his knees, Guo Qianqian is married again, who else can this family count on. She thought about doing more for her parents while she was still at home.
It was early in the morning again, and there was a strong wind blowing outside the window, and Guo Xiaoxiao was wearing a cloak and preparing to go out.
When passing by the flower garden in the yard, Guo Xiaoxiao took a closer look and saw that the kale planted two months ago had sprouted.
"This bud is so cute." Xiaolan smiled.
"yes, it didn't cost my hard work." After Guo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he took Xiaolan out of the yard.
As soon as she arrived at Zijin Fang, Aunt Yarong immediately pulled her to the observation deck on the fifth floor.
"What's the matter that makes my aunt so anxious?" Guo Xiaoxiao said.
Before Guo Xiaoxiao could sit down, Aunt Yarong took her hand and whispered: "Those guests who ordered orders a few days ago came more this morning, saying that they wanted to refund the order. ”
"Auntie can you leave?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked eagerly.
"No, I excuse myself and say that it is up to you to decide, and I will give them an answer tomorrow. That's when I pulled you up in a hurry. ”
"Auntie, do you know why they chargeback?"
"The eldest lady must not know about the fact that our supply is broken."
"The cloth and needle and thread we use have always been from the 'Land of Abundance', how could this good one be broken?"
"It shouldn't have been broken, but somehow, the 'Land of Abundance' was discontinued a few days ago, and the cloth we ordered is not available now. I don't know which one leaked the news, and those customers came to the door to refund the order. ”
"Discontinued? This 'land of abundance' is a hundred years of livelihood, how can it be said to stop? ”
"According to people in the industry, there is a new person in charge of the 'country of abundance', and the old shopkeeper is not in agreement, the two are fighting openly and secretly, each for his own government, and his subordinates are on one side, so they have not been able to produce cloth and needlework on time."
"That's the case, we're running out of cloth right now, but what should we do?"
"The eldest lady doesn't need to worry, a few days ago, the slave maid had already sent someone to hand over the master's post to the red apricot manor in Hangzhou. The shopkeeper has a very good personal relationship with the master, and has already sent someone to Yangzhou to discuss. ”
"Is it too late?" Guo Xiaoxia was so anxious that she walked around.
"Miss, don't panic, I received a quick letter from Hongxing Manor last night, saying that someone will come this afternoon, and it will definitely be in time." Yarong reassured.
Guo Xiaoxiao knocked on the palm of his left hand with his right hand, walked for a while, and then sat on the chair. At this time, Xiaolan went upstairs.
"Miss! Aunt! Xiaolan ran out of breath, "Someone from Hongxing Manor is here." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao and Yarong hurriedly carried their skirts downstairs, and the embroidery girls heard that there was an extraordinary son in Zijin Fang, and they climbed the stairs to see.
Ya Rong looked at the embroidered girl who was blocking the road in front of her, and scolded: "Are they all blocking the road here, one or two!" ”
The embroidered girl dispersed in a hurry, Guo Xiaoxiao and Yarong hurriedly went down to the first floor, only to see a man in a robe sitting at the coffee table and drinking tea leisurely.
The son wore a golden crown of hair and flowing clothes, looking majestic. Hearing the sound of the embroidery girls scattering, he turned his head to look at the stairs.
Although Guo Xiaoxiao went downstairs in a hurry, he was swaying and colorful, and he was not necessarily in a hurry.
didn't wait for Guo Xiaoxiao to speak, but the man spoke first: "Lu Dongyang of Hongxing Manor has seen Miss." ”
Bow your hand, no rudeness.
Guo Xiaoxiao also saluted and said: "Guo Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the Guo family, asks for peace to her son." ”
The two looked at each other at the same time.
Lu Dongyang only felt that although the girl in front of him was gentle and tender, there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes.
Guo Xiaoxiao only felt that the person in front of him had good facial features, a friendly appearance, an approachable person, and seemed to be a scholar, but he worked his feet, and he thought that he should be a well-hidden all-round talent in civil and military affairs.
"I heard that my father said that Miss Guo has something important to discuss with my Lu family?" Lu Dongyang said.
"Yes, I forgot." Guo Xiaoxiao woke up, "Lu Gongzi was tired of traveling and driving, and I originally wanted to invite Lu Gongzi to have some food before discussing." ”
"Well, it doesn't matter." Lu Dongyang said with a smile, "I rode a fast horse for five days in a row, eight hundred miles in a hurry, and ran across several horses, just to come over and discuss with you." ”
When Guo Xiaoxiao heard this, he was extremely moved: "It's really ashamed to let Lu Gongzi saddle up for Zijinfang." ”
"Hey." Lu Dongyang said very heartily, "What do you do with those extraneous words, my father and Ling Zun have been close friends for thirty years. He told me that if I didn't do a good job, I would be 'punished heavily' when I went back. ”
Yarong smiled: "Then, then ask Lu Gongzi to go upstairs." ”
The three of them went up to the fifth floor together, Guo Xiaoxiao and Lu Dongyang sat down, and Aunt Yarong served tea cups to the two.
Lu Dongyang drank all the tea in the teacup and said, "What happened?" ”
Guo Xiaoxiao said the words to Lu Dongyang again.
Lu Dongyang smiled: "In this way, it is not a big problem. ”
"It's not really a big deal. It's just that some of the guests came for the silk of the 'Land of Abundance'. Guo Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Master Lu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to belittle your manor. ”
Lu Dongyang lowered his eyes: "Don't worry, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "Hongxing Manor is an old signboard for eighty or ninety years, and its reputation and quality are excellent, and my father and I trust it." It's just that our Zijinfang only moved to Yangzhou this year, and as far as Yangzhou is concerned, we are outsiders. ”
Guo Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "If you say it to the outside world, you have temporarily changed the silk and needlework of your Hongxing Manor, but I am afraid that people may not believe it." ”
Lu Dongyang immediately understood the meaning of her words, and said: "This is simple, I will testify for you in Zijinfang tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”
Yarong stepped forward and said, "Childe is young, but I'm afraid that people in Yangzhou don't recognize Childe very well." ”
Lu Dongyang thought for a while and said, "Can you post a notice?" ”
"What's the notice?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.
"Just write, Zijin Fang will use the silk of Hangzhou Lu's Red Apricot Manor from this month, and then write down the reason for the more, explain the reason, people will appreciate it."
"What if people don't appreciate it?"
Lu Dongyang took out a rosewood box: "With my Lu family's private seal, how can you not appreciate it?" ”
Guo Xiaoxiao and Yarong are both eye-catching.
Yarong said with a smile: "It's okay now, there are the private seals of Hongxing Manor and Zijin Fang, and Lu Gongzi is willing to testify in person, and there will be no chaos." ”
