Of course, before going, both of them dressed up for makeup.

Du Ruo was wearing a soft smoke skirt with aqua blue sprinkled flowers, a white palace silk tied around her waist, a waist style, a shawl with silk, and a double-sided palace fan in her hand that she had spent her time embroidering, Qin Rui also pasted a red plum blossom on her forehead, and a few begonia beads were inserted in her hair, swaying like soft branches and young leaves.

Qin Rui is dressed up even more dazzlingly, she is already smiling with charm, today she wore a pomegranate red floor-length dress, with a string of bells on her wrist, her hand waved and jingled, turning around and walking, bright and moving.

This person, when he sees good things, his heart will always be two or three points peaceful, although it may not work when it comes to Yu Shaotang, but Du Ruo also hopes to suppress his anger.

If you have something to say, don't deprive your sleeves and move your mouth as soon as you meet.

After all, the business will be done for a long time in the future, and it is not good to offend people.

"Yu Shaotang doesn't know you, just take off the veil when you go to the restaurant, smile at him more, say more good things, show your shrewd and flattering skills, and it's not in vain that you eat and live here for nothing!" Du Ruo got on the carriageway.

"Where did I live for nothing? Didn't I show you the ledger when I saw the heavens? Qin Rui retorted to her and sat up.

"Didn't you say those little accounts weren't worth mentioning in your eyes? If it's not worth mentioning, then it's about nothing, isn't it the same as doing nothing? Du Ruo said lightly.

Qin Rui: "......"

"Since the mother and daughter went to Baohuashang to make trouble, you can't talk to people well, there are thorns and calculations in and out of the words, sure enough, there are losses and gains, your heart is getting harder and harder, and there will be no man around you in the future, and you will definitely be able to live well." Qin Rui said again, and after speaking, he reached out and touched Du Ruo's chin.

Du Ruo shook his fan and glanced at her lightly.

That night, the man threatened her, telling her to kill Song Ju'an in half a month, and now it is the sixth day.

If the date comes, she and Song Ju'an have never met at all, I don't know what kind of crime this is in the eyes of that person? Tell her to keep killing? Or kill her?

It is useless to report to the official, after all, Song Ju'an seems to have no way to face them.

But she wouldn't really kill him.

was so arrogant and arrogant in front of Cai's Song Jinhua and them, and he would say no words, but he just asked them to stop him and never meet him again.

"But I didn't expect that four or five days have passed, and Song Ju'an really hasn't come to look for you again, and I don't know what the three people said to him after they went back, when I thought that all the money in the family was taken away by you, and my son was tied to you, and then you drove him back to the countryside to suffer and suffer, I think they must be so frightened that they can't do it, and they will tie Song Juan at home, and force him to die and not ask him to come to you, hahaha............"

"If you mention the Song family again, I will ask the coachman to turn around and go to the yamen and send you, a fugitive, to the prison with your own hands."

"It's still a while until Shilixiang, let's talk about gossip!"

"Okay, then let's talk about the Meng family in Gunan Town!" Du Ruo glanced at her, and continued, "Do you know why you are not liked by Meng Yuanzhou?" ”

The casual charm on Qin Rui's body immediately disappeared.

Du Ruo snorted coldly, "When you reveal your scars, you react more than me." You are a very good person, beautiful and good at taking care of accounts, and it stands to reason that you and Meng Ye complement each other, but sometimes you don't think about things from the other party's point of view. ”

"For example?" Qin Rui asked.

"For example, Meng Ye thinks about different problems from you, he is far-sighted, and the things you think about are only in love. The little young master Meng Xiuwen has no mother since he was a child, he is stubborn and melancholy, and lacks love, you should start from him, if he likes you, wouldn't Meng Ye treat you differently? ”

"Actually, it's not like I haven't flattered that kid, since I gave him a little green snake to scare him, he has ignored me anymore! Don't all boys like that! ”

Du Ruo sighed twice, "Some men like to dance and ink, some like to dance with knives and guns, and not all children in the world are the same, you should do what he likes, inquire more, and let him slowly accept you, like you, and can't do without you." ”

"You also said before, most of it is because my godfather is the Duke of Wei, and Meng Ye has prejudices against me in his heart! You know how well you say! ”

Du Ruo laughed.

She blocked the palace fan in front of her, sat away from Qin Rui, looked at her and said faintly: "To tell you the truth, if the Meng family was still there, I wouldn't have been so tough at that time, maybe I'm Mrs. Meng now." ”

Qin Rui stared straight at her, her eyes were full of doubts, puzzlement, and surprise.

Du Ruohao said for a long time: "I told you, you promised me not to be angry." ”

Qin Rui nodded, looking at her without blinking.

"Before the fire broke out, I was called into the Embroidery Village. The Meng family handed me the letters and other important evidence exchanged with Wei Guogong and asked me to show them to Lord Wu, but I didn't expect it to be a farewell...... Meng Ye also asked me, if Xiuzhuang is fine, if I am willing to follow him, although I admired and admired Meng Ye at that time, but I did not have any affection in my heart, so I said I was unwilling. ”

She paused, and then continued: "Later, I thought about it, about because I get along with the little young master a lot, and I am relatively close, and the little young master is willing to play with me, and Meng Ye sees it in his eyes, so ...... So if you win the favor of the young master, you may not get what you want. ”

Qin Rui looked at her with shock, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Suddenly, she covered her face with her hands and cried and laughed, and shouted sadly: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" I know, I know, I know......"

Du Ruo didn't expect her to react so much, so he hurriedly sat down and put his hand on her back to comfort her, "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have told you this, don't cry......"

When the carriage arrived at Shilixiang, Qin Rui finally calmed down, although her eyes were still a little red.

After getting out of the carriage, Du Ruo took her hand and said, "Don't think about it, Meng Ye doesn't like me, it's just, it's just that the little young master likes me...... Anyway, it's been so long, so I don't want to mention it. ”

Qin Rui sneered, "He personally promised to marry me at that time!" Godfather wanted to come to the honeysuckle to post the bill, and by the way came to drink our wedding wine, but I didn't expect him to be so scheming, and he had already planned everything! Abandon me! My life is worthless in his eyes! ”

"Although he lied to you, the Meng family ended miserably, you finally picked up a life, and besides, wouldn't it be good that he didn't ask you to die together? There is still a thought when you are alive, and there is nothing left when you die. Du Ruo comforted her again.

There are some things she hears in the clouds, and she doesn't know much about the affairs between the Meng family, the Duke of Wei, and the imperial court.

"You don't know anything!" Qin Rui raised his feet and walked towards Shili Xiang with great resentment.

In this huge restaurant, when you enter it, it is quiet, and there is no one.

Du Ruo and Qin Rui stood at the entrance for a while and wondered, isn't this a famous restaurant? Why is business so sluggish?

At this time, a guy came down from upstairs, saw them and said respectfully: "But Boss Du of Baohuashang?" ”

"Yes." Du Ruo stepped forward.

The guy explained: "That's the case, what about our restaurant, it happened to be fully covered by the head of the Jiang family today, but Boss Du, you booked a table of wine banquet in advance, so I will reserve it for you, please go upstairs!" ”

Du Ruo and Qin Rui glanced at each other, it was really generous, and the Jiang family, a big family in the city, was also silently rich!

The two of them went upstairs and entered the private room, Fang sat down for a while, and Yu Shaotang also came.

Xiao Er took a step forward and lifted the bead curtain with his hand, and said with a flattering face: "Young Master Yu, please come in!" ”

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, slightly burly, brocade clothes and jade belts, at first glance, he is the young master in charge, Du Ruo and Qin Rui looked at him with a smile on their faces.

Yu Shaotang held a fan in his hand, his expression was serious and arrogant, he walked in from the outside with a small guy with an empty attitude, and when his eyes fell on Du Ruo and Qin Rui, he was stunned, and quickly glanced at the two of them, with a look of surprise.

"Young Master Yu, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Du Ruo got up with a smile and made a gesture of please.

Yu Shaotang's face was much more relaxed, he waved away the fan, walked in with a smile behind his back, looked at Du Ruo, and then at Qin Rui, lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down.

"Who is this?" Yu Shaotang looked at Qin Rui.

"This is my cousin, surnamed Qin." Du Ruo introduced, and got up to pour tea for him, "I have long heard that Young Master Yu is dignified and upright, my cousin wants to follow over to see Young Master Yu's demeanor, so I called her here, Young Master Yu doesn't mind, right?" ”

A look of astonishment appeared on Yu Shaotang's face, and he immediately accepted Du Ruo's compliment, smiling, "Don't mind!" It's good to have more people! ”

Du Ruo smiled, got up to call someone to serve the food, and casually talked about the topic with him.

"Lord Wu has been promoted, and the new Lord Lu County looks at the young man and knows whether to do practical things! Has Young Master Yu seen the new adult? Du Ruo said while eating.

Yu Shaotang nodded, "I've seen it, my father told me to ask me to find a time to treat him to a meal, and Lord Lu said to wait a few days." ”

"Those of us who do business have to deal with the yamen, and if we use it at any time, there are people in the yamen who can do things." Qin Rui said.

"yes!" Yu Shaotang sighed, "Don't be like the previous Lord Wu!" When you close your eyes, you can't see or hear anything! Unless something big happens! ”

“……”

“……”

As he spoke, Du Ruo turned his words, with a little grievance and caution on his face, and asked Yu Shaotang: "Young Master Yu, I always heard people say a few days ago that you are dissatisfied with our Baohuashang?" Is there such a thing? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Boss Du is now doing a good job of opening a shop! Yu Shaotang's face was solemn, but he snorted coldly in his heart.

Du Ruo put down the chopsticks in his hand, and seemed to be in a bad mood and unable to eat, and his interest was lacking.

Then she said with a sincere and remorseful face: "I knew that I wouldn't open any ready-to-wear shops!" The intestines are all green! In fact, there are few guests at night all day, don't look at the bright clothes we wear when we go out, just fill the façade! ”

"I told you a long time ago that business is not good, you want to do it, who is to blame if you lose money?" Qin Rui blamed her.

"Boss Du, I heard that Baohua is doing a good job! The rich people in the city love your craftsmanship! Yu Shaotang laughed.

Du Ruo shook his head, "We can't go out and say that business is not good, right?" Otherwise, no one will go, but we really have nothing to say about the craftsmanship of the embroidery lady there, Young Master Yu should also know something, what do you say? ”

Yu Shaotang looked at her gaze, for fear that she would dig some trap for him to jump.

"Everyone's work is very good!" He said.

"I'm a weak woman who just opened a shop, I have no experience, I have lost a lot of silver, I have bought a lot of lessons, and things are not what you see. I invited Young Master Yu over today to discuss something with you. ”

Yu Shaotang became more and more cautious, "Boss Du might as well say something directly." ”

"I think, your Jinfangzhai business has always been good, the order received softly, asked the guests to wait and wait, some dragged on for ten days and a half months, the guests are inevitably unwilling, and may not go next time. Since Young Master Yu also thinks that the things made by our Baohuashang are good, it is better for us to cooperate, you have received the order over there, and if you can't do it in time, leave it to us to do, you take some silver from it, give us a bite to eat, and tell our female workers not to be idle, how about it? ”

Baohua clothes are expensive, and female workers are not very busy on weekdays.

However, Du Ruo plans to invite a few more people to come and work in the courtyard next to him, and if the people invited are not very skilled, they can also practice first.

She has the heart to do it according to the original model of Yunshui Embroidery Village, but she can only do it from a little bit.

Yu Shaotang listened to her words, and the hand holding the vegetables also stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was seriously considering what she said.

"Well...... It's the first time I've heard of such a partnership......" he hesitated, "I'll have to think about it!" ”

"Young Master Yu doesn't have to answer me in a hurry, you go back and think about it, today is mainly to apologize to you, after all, a few days ago, everyone always compared our Baohuashang and Jinfangzhai, I really don't want to go." Du Ruo took a glass of wine and saluted him.

The three of them clinked glasses, Du Ruo and Qin Rui chatted about other things, and Yu Shaotang's guard was gradually unloaded.

Qin Rui was well-informed, talking and laughing, Yu Shaotang couldn't help nodding in agreement.

Du Ruoxin said, I invited Jinfangzhai today, and tomorrow I will invite Boss Cao of Beauty Square to have a meal and discuss cooperation.

After dinner, coming out of the private room, Du Ruo walked in front, Qin Rui and Yu Shaotang walked behind, and the two were still talking about some rumors in Kyoto.

Du Ruo smiled on his face, holding a fan in one hand, and couldn't help but relax a little.

When she reached the stairs and was about to lift her skirt down, she saw several people sitting in the hall on the first floor, and then she froze in place, terrified.

Because she saw Meng Yuanzhou.

Also sitting there were Song Ju'an, as well as the newcomer Lu County Ling.
