Chapter 173: The Clouds Rise

Gu Bainiang walked out a few steps, and Lingbao ran over.

"Miss....", she said with a happy face, stroking her chest and gasping, "I drew the lot...."

"Then you're at ease." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

Lingbao nodded, his eyes reddened slightly, "The sign said that my brother has the help of nobles, and he can turn evil into good fortune and be blessed in case of great trouble... Miss, you are our nobleman, this hexagram is true..."

She looked at Gu Bainiang as she spoke, but saw that this girl's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was absent-minded, and a light crimson appeared on her porcelain white and cold face.

"Miss?" She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you okay?" No mistakes, a lot of words, but it's hot? ”

Have you lost your temper? Gu Banniang was busy concentrating.

"It's okay, it's hotter...."She smiled and covered the past, while holding Lingbao's hand, "The lottery has also been drawn, I hope it is maybe, the scenery has also been seen, it's not too early, let's go back." ”

Lingbao nodded, happily holding her hand and leaving.

"Miss, I also drew a lot for you...."She took out a narrow folded piece of yellow paper from her sleeve, "Dao Ye said, although you didn't draw it yourself, but you opened it with your own hands, and that's it..."

Gu Banniang shook her head and didn't answer, "I don't want it." ”

"Miss...."Lingbao was a little apprehensive, and without further persuasion, he carefully put it away.

When the road turned at the end, Gu Bainiang looked back slightly, and the figure of Xin Chaoyang over there was still the same, and when she saw her turn around, if she was aware of it, she also looked over.

Gu Bainiang hurriedly withdrew her gaze, only to feel that a gaze was closely chasing her back.

I... I'm another woman... was divorced, and she was also another woman... I... I'm almost twenty-five years old ....

It's really like a little girl, Gu Banniang bit her lower lip lightly, and the stinging pain calmed down her somewhat flustered emotions.

"What do you say, miss?" Lingbao looked at her from the side and said puzzledly, "Twenty-five years old? Who is twenty-five? ”

Gu Bainiang shook her head, "No....get in the car." ”

As they descended the high steps, two servants had already taken them and helped them into the carriage.

The carriage passed through the market, Gu Bainiang leaned in the car and closed her eyes to recuperate, listening to Lingbao talk about whether there was a ride or not.

"Miss, you see, Shunhe Hall has opened...."Ling Bao said suddenly.

Gu Bainiang opened her eyes violently, and Lingbao had already lifted the curtain of the car.

The shop of Shunhetang is the same as always, and the four doors are wide open, and you can see people laughing and walking inside.

Shunhetang was handed over by her to Yabao for sale, so she didn't know that it was sold, and naturally she didn't ask who the buyer was buying it.

"It's still a medicine shop...," she whispered, her gaze up and down on the plaque.

Shunwado.

It's not the Shen family, it's no longer the Gu family, it's just Shunhetang.

The carriage flickered by, and Shunhetang left sight.

"Miss, do you want to ask who bought it?" Lingbao saw that her expression was slightly stunned, so he proposed.

Gu Banniang shook her head and closed her eyes again.

Lingbao actually wanted to ask for the sudden sale of Shunhetang, but he moved his mouth and finally swallowed it back.

Miss said, don't worry about what has happened in the past.

Just behind their carriage, a lavishly decorated carriage slowly passed by.

"Ma'am," a woman's voice burst out of the car.

Mrs. Shen, who was still sitting dignified in the shaking car, opened her eyes slightly, and swept over the servant woman with a little displeasure.

Swept by her, the servant woman couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"Madam—" she lowered her voice a few points and pointed outside, "Our Shunhetang..."

“？” Mrs. Shen opened her eyes and raised her hand slightly.

The servant woman immediately understood and ordered the coachman to stop, and raised the curtains of the car.

Mrs. Shen looked over and her eyes fell on the black and shiny door plaque.

"I remember that after the bought it, she changed her name to Gu's Shunhetang?" She said slowly, her gaze swept over the strong and powerful Shunhetang three words.

"Yes." The servant woman hurriedly replied.

"Go and ask." Third Lady Shen said in a deep voice.

The servant woman received the order, got out of the car, and turned back in a short time.

"Madam, people say that the original master's family is indeed surnamed Gu..."The servant woman said, "It's just that it was resold a few years ago..."

"Sold." Mrs. Shen repeated it, as if to confirm it, but there was not the slightest doubt in her voice, but it was plain.

"Yes," the servant woman quietly looked up at her, "the current master's surname..."

"The current master's surname is Shen..."A faint smile appeared on the face of the third lady Shen, and she took the words of the servant woman and said.

"Yes," the servant woman was a little surprised, raised her head to look at her wife, and couldn't help but smile flatteringly, "Madame knows everything...."

Mrs. Shen sneered, and her eyes fell on the plaque of the Shunhe Hall outside the car.

"Do you know the original name of Shunhetang?" No mistakes, no word skipping. She said slowly.

Shunhetang was originally their Shen family's shop, but it was resold due to poor management, but it was sold to the Gu family, and the relationship between the Gu family and Mrs. Shen can be described as....

The servant woman cautiously looked up at Mrs. Shen San, and Mrs. Shen San's face was not angry.

"It's called Shen's Shunhetang...", she replied obediently, skimming over the name of Gu's Shunhetang.

A smile appeared on Mrs. Shen's face, and she gently played with her long nails, "What about before calling Shen Shunhetang?" ”

And before? The servant woman frowned slightly, and then remembered that this Shunhetang was originally the dowry of the first lady...

Mrs. Xian's surname is Zhao, so their family is naturally called Zhao's Shunhetang....

A trace of sweat couldn't help but break out on her forehead, speaking of this first lady, the relationship with the lady in front of her is more than that with Gu Banniang... The taboo is very ....

"Small... I don't know," replied the woman with a smile.

Mrs. Shen didn't seem to want her answer, and continued to play with her fingers, with a smile on her face.

"This is our Zhao family's property, but it is not called Zhao Shunhetang," she said, "It's just that when we arrived at the Shen family, everyone shouted indiscriminately for the convenience of the name, in fact..."

Her eyes turned to the outside of the car, but the smile on her face gradually froze, "Actually, it was originally called Shunhetang." ”

The servant woman only felt confused, what did she say after talking about it?

"There is only one person surnamed Shen in the world who will buy this and rename it..."Third Lady Shen smiled coldly.

At this point, he stopped.

"Let's go, let's go and see our Young Master Lin, lest people say that I'm a cold and ruthless mother, and let my eldest son be sick and disabled...."She smiled, and her face returned to that dignified and indifferent expression.

"Madame is too worried, everyone knows that Madame is anxious for Young Master Lin and is uneasy day and night, but the old man is not in good health and can't leave, so he has written many times to send someone to pick up Young Master Lin and go home..."

Mrs. Shen smiled faintly, and the three words Shunhetang once again floated in front of her eyes, and the hands on her knees couldn't help but shake them gently.

"You go down." She said suddenly.

The servant woman was stunned, and did not understand where she had suddenly annoyed her wife, and was about to be driven down the street.

"Madame, forgive me," she leaned over and kowtowed.

"Idiot, get out of here and call Hanxiang over." Third Lady Shen snorted and glared at the servant.

This Hanxiang was a girl sent by the lady's mother's family, and she must have something to say, but the servant woman realized that she didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly climbed down, and after a while, a young maid came up from the carriage behind.

"Madame," called the maid respectfully.

"Go and check, our Young Master Lin is busy in the capital?" Mrs. Shen said slowly, "Could it be that the battlefield is frustrated and the love scene is proud?" Go and find out, what is going on with him that Gu family..."

The handmaiden's cheerful response was.

Third Lady Shen stopped talking and nodded.

When the night comes, in a luxury restaurant located by the river, the lights are bright, the sound of silk and bamboo, the dignitaries come and go, and the female Ji who accompanies the guests to sell wine is like a cloud.

A wide hall, at this time has been full of people, the people who come are the most important figures in the pharmaceutical industry in the capital, both young and old, beside them have invited the best skills in the capital to accompany them, these are the rich businessmen who spend a lot of money, the women are doing their best, not only tonight to get more color, but also to bring these people together as regular customers, that is really worth a thousand gold overnight, at the same time, the young and beautiful female ji sitting on the side seems a little lonely, she looks at the young man next to her from time to time, her expression is difficult to hide the grievance, but she didn't dare to step forward to invite pets.

"Qin Niang..." a female probe next to her chuckled at her, "You have to be idle today to pick up lottery for nothing..."

The female Ji who was called the piano lady bowed her head slightly when she heard this.

"Hey, you're not jealous, are you? No mistakes, not a lot of words," the woman laughed.

"I'm one, how can I have vinegar to eat...."Qin Niang said quietly, and once again her eyes fell on the young man, who was personally pouring tea for a young woman sitting at the table next to her.

He looked at the girl with a focused expression and a smile in his eyes.

But the girl did not look at him, but spoke to the three old men on the other side.

She is a person who has been in the scene for a long time, and the truth and falsehood can be known at a glance, and the sourness and loss in her heart spread like a vine....

"How can a woman come to this occasion?" The female ji who spoke was a little curious and a little puzzled, "Look at that, it looks like a lady..."

But that occasion where the ladies would come to this kind of men's party?

"Hey, your young master is the only one in the eyes of the young master..."She hit the qin girl with her arm, with a bit of intention, "I see that she is not as good as you..."

"It's good to look good and useful, and people don't eat with their faces." The other girl interjected with a slightly drunken smile.

"Hey, so you're really a girl?" The previous female Ji was surprised.

"Everyone's ladies? Green lady, you have been in this industry for five or six years, have you ever seen a lady? The slightly drunk girl laughed.

"The women in this world either eat by their faces, or they eat by their family background..."The female who was called the Green Lady raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then she can still rely on?" ”

At this time, many people in the hall suddenly got up one after another, interrupting their conversation, and the three of them looked over and saw that it was the woman who stood up and took her leave.

"Gu Niangzi, let's go."

The business has been said, when these female jiji come in, she should have said goodbye, but Qi Lao came late, leaving her to say a few more words before delaying.

Old Man Qi naturally didn't say anything, this occasion was indeed not suitable.

"Everyone, stay here." Gu Bainiang took the two maids and smiled at the people who got up to send them.

But Rao is like this, everyone should send it to the corridor in person.

"These men, when did they look at women squarely?"

The girls in the room lost their voices in surprise and said one after another.

"You don't know it, that's Gu Niangzi" since a few well-informed people explained with a smile, "is the only apprentice of a very famous pharmacist, and it is said that the medicine he makes is hard to find..."

It's a great pharmacist, no wonder, everyone is suddenly.

"It turns out that I eat by handicraft." The green lady smiled, and looked at the Qin Niang with a gloomy look on her face, "The person is gone, and the letter belongs to you...."

The people who had sent off the guests outside the house had returned, and the woman had been sent away, and the atmosphere was suddenly even more enthusiastic.

Qin Niang looked at the door expectantly, but she never saw the handsome boy come in, and her heart finally sank in a flicker.

The woman was gone, and he had no interest in staying.

"The eldest young master is leaving so early?" Gu Bainiang raised the curtain of the carriage, looked at Xin Chaoyang, who was also in the carriage, and smiled.

Under the flickering lights on the street, the girl's smile was as bright as the stars.

Xin Chaoyang reached out and stroked his chin a little unnaturally, turned his gaze slightly, and did not answer.

"I'll send Mrs. Gu." He changed the subject.

"Thanks, no." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

Since that peach blossom view, they always feel a little awkward when they meet again, and Xin Chaoyang is not as casual and fluent as before, their conversations have become short, and both of them are aware of this change, so they feel even more awkward.

Xin Chaoyang didn't speak again, just smiled, Gu Bainiang didn't know what to say, the two glanced at each other, and then turned their heads again.

Gu Bainiang lowered the curtain, and the carriage moved slowly, although she didn't look back, she also felt that Xin Chaoyang's carriage was not far behind, and it seemed that there was a sight on her back through the carriage, she couldn't help but sit up straight, with a slight stiffness.

Turning into the alley, she lifted the curtain and looked at it, Xin Chaoyang's carriage stopped slightly at the alley, as if to confirm that she had arrived home, and then walked slowly.

Gu Bainiang felt that she exhaled a breath, her body relaxed, and she reached out and stroked her cheeks, only feeling slightly hot.

Doesn't seem quite right...

She raised her hand and slapped it on her face.

The carriage came to a halt.

"People?" Ah Si's displeased voice sounded, as well as the coquettish scolding of the two maids sitting outside the car.

Gu Bainiang lifted the curtain of the car, and saw a figure walking out under the high walls on both sides, and the wide cloak wrapped his whole person, and he couldn't see the description clearly.

Ah Si has been trained by Lingyuan, who always suddenly came out of nowhere to take away his driver's rights, and when he saw this person at first glance, he was not afraid, and asked someone again very calmly, and asked him to get out of the way.

"Gu Xiang, take a step to speak." The man whispered, lifting his cloak slightly.

Gu Banniang's body stiffened again.

"Young Master Shen," she said slowly, "do we need to speak?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Shen Anlin seemed to be used to her attitude, and he smiled when he heard this.

"If you don't borrow it, no one will disturb you here for the time being." He said, his slightly hoarse voice revealed confidence, and he whispered to Ah Si and the three who were about to shout.

He fought on the battlefield, and cultivated a majesty and momentum that was different from ordinary people, and as soon as he scolded, Ah Si and the three felt frightened, and a feeling of horror rose, and they really didn't dare to shout out.

...
