The cloudy sky is gray and white, and even a combination of bright red and gold looks weak. The three of them came out of the luxurious gate with sixteen golden nails one after another, said a few goodbyes, and the man in professional clothes waved away a polite-looking couple, and when the guests walked down a few steps, the red wooden door was gently closed by the man in Tang costume. The couple, dressed in dark and light clothes, did not leave immediately, and stood on the corner of the street where the occasional pedestrian passed, looking back.

"Thank you," Shi Jiaojiao raised her head and read the gilded typing of the grass on the door, holding the bag strap in both hands and shaking it gently, and the back of the bag gently patted the hem of her coat. Shi Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Tang Jianyu and said with interest: "His family cooks Neifu cuisine, is this name because the founder's ancestor is surnamed Xie?" Tang Jianyu looked at the plaque in response, pursed his lips and replied: "Maybe, private dishes are closely related to the family logo." The corners of Shi Jiaojiao's mouth pulled down, and she nodded solemnly, "Only high-ranking officials and nobles can talk about the family food list, and my dad shouldn't be able to eat this meal." ”

As the two of them talked, they walked out along the path, and the clean ground was occasionally a few dead branches of elms, and only then did they get up with a crisp sound. The restaurant is sizable, the exterior walls are quite long, and the architectural style of red bricks and blue tiles is exactly what is introduced on the tablet in its atrium: the ancestors of the high-ranking officials of Gyeonggi lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, bringing delicacies comparable to court cuisine. The two walked one after the other, with a distance of half a step in between, Tang Jianyu suddenly stopped, slightly opened his left arm and elbow, Shi Jiaojiao smiled shyly when she saw this, but she didn't twist it, and reached out to pull it up.

After a corner, there is an open square across the road, surrounded by the famous foreign style street, and the pale exotic style buildings, strongly distinguished from the heavy Chinese architecture. Shi Jiaojiao held Tang Jianyu's arm and waited for the red light, and couldn't help sighing: "Wow, it's here, it's like a country across the street!" Tang Jianyu smiled, "I say this every time I come." Shi Jiaojiao was stunned, "Huh? Did I say that? Have I been here before? ”

Tang Jianyu didn't answer directly, and pointed diagonally opposite with his hand, "Recognize carefully." At this time, the red light jumped, Shi Jiaojiao stretched out her head and was busy identifying, and was dragged forward by Tang Jianyu, in the process of approaching, a nameplate printed with a complex badge pattern came into Shi Jiaojiao's eyes, and she suddenly realized "ah", "This is the street where we set the dress!" Tang Jianyu was also happy to see her excited, Shi Jiaojiao didn't recognize the way, turned her head and said: "I can't recognize it at all if I change the intersection!" ”

"Since you're here, let's stop by the store and ask!" Tang Jianyu proposed, "Ask what?" Shi Jiaojiao looked suspicious, and quickly reacted, "Yes, I forgot about it!" I haven't been able to get in touch a few times! mentioned that the dress was inexplicably paid, this bizarre incident made Tang Jianyu frown, and pulled Shi Jiaojiao straight to the store.

The store is still the kind store manager, Tang Jianyu and his wife entered the door when there were no other customers, she was sitting around the bar with two young clerks, discussing something on the mobile phone, and when she looked up, she immediately bypassed the long platform and greeted her, "Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang are here, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you need anything today?" Tang Jianyu only nodded, Shi Jiaojiao stepped forward and waved her hand, and said, "I'm not here to order a dress, but I have a question to ask." ”

"Okay, let's sit down first." The dignified woman guided the two of them down to the sofa in the rotunda, and the clerk brought a steaming drink as usual. After the three of them sat down, the store manager politely asked, "Do you have any questions about the maintenance of the wedding dress?" Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips and exchanged glances with her husband, and said cautiously: "I want to ask about the cost of our dress." Well, it doesn't sound like that, we all thought that the other party had paid, and by chance a couple found out that no one had paid! ”

When she said this, Shi Jiaojiao swallowed her saliva involuntarily, and hesitantly tentatively said: "I'm really sorry, something happened at home at that time, so we were negligent, haven't we paid yet?" Tang Jianyu also just thought of this, and couldn't help but look at the store manager sitting upright with shame in his eyes, the store manager pursed his lips and was just about to open his mouth, when the nervous Shi Jiaojiao grabbed the words: "I made a few calls before, but somehow no one answered, and it has been delayed until now, I'm so sorry." ”

The female store manager waved her hand again and again, "No, no, no, it's us who should be sorry." A while ago, the designer took the team to Europe to participate in the exhibition and study, and the store was closed for nearly a week, but we did not do a good job of informing us. "Oh...... No wonder. Shi Jiaojiao's face was slightly relaxed, but she was more concerned about her own questions, and her eyes were blazing waiting for an answer. The store manager smiled more sincerely, looking thoughtful and professional, and said: "There is no balance payment for the two dresses, and the account from the designer's account will be paid off before picking up the goods." ”

As soon as these words were finished, the expressions of the couple, who were already confused, became even more puzzled, they looked at each other, and they couldn't figure it out for a long time, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but say to herself, "Could it be that there is some activity in your store, which the boss gifted?" The store manager couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that there are no activities of this intensity, and our store hardly conducts activities." Tang Jianyu interjected and asked, "Then do you know what's going on?" The store manager thought about it carefully and replied: "Your account was explained by our boss alone, and it didn't go through anyone in the store, so you may still have to ask him about the specific situation." ”

"Then please contact us now!" Shi Jiaojiao said, "The amount of money is really not small, and we still have to figure it out." The store manager licked his lips and replied: "I should help you get in touch, but I asked at the beginning, it seems to be the boss's personal relationship, he didn't say it explicitly, and now I don't necessarily let go of my mouth when I ask." Tang Jianyu expressed his understanding of her work and said, "Then please provide his contact information, or it is better for us to come forward ourselves." ”

When they left the bridal shop, they found nothing but the designer's private contact information that was not in the service area, and the two were caught up in the conjecture of their brains running at high speed, but without the slightest clue. After walking back for a distance, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly had a word, pulled Tang Jianyu's arm and said, "Do you say it's because of Zhang Yue?" "Who?" Tang Jianyu hadn't heard of Zhang Yue's name, of course he couldn't think of the connection, and encouraged his wife to continue with confused eyes.

Shi Jiaojiao tilted her head and continued to speculate, "Zhang Yue is Wang Xi's former girlfriend, who was with this designer during the relationship, and later got married. She and Wang Xi broke up without saying a word, and Wang Xi was depressed for a long time because of this incident. Could it be that after they broke up, Zhang Yue felt guilty about this and compensated me for his apologies to Wang Xi? Tang Jianyu has always been slow about interpersonal relationships, and it took a while to sort out such a relationship in his head before he clarified it, and said: "So it's very possible." ”
