It wasn't until night fell and the moon hung high that Lin Xiao reluctantly left.

Qiu Ling stood by the door and looked at his figure blending into the night, his eyes flickering and flickering.

"Don't look at it, go make the bed." Qiubai put down the rag and shouted Qiuling loudly.

There is also an attic on the top floor of this hot pot restaurant, Qiubai has already cleaned it up, and the two sisters will basically rest in the store in the future, because it closes late every day, and everything in the store is not very smooth, so the two of them have to get up early, and they don't have to worry so much when everything is on the right track.

However, Qiubai also received a lot of gifts from others, and he felt a little unsure, so he thought about going to Ye Zhiheng to ask as soon as he was free.

"Lieber, you should go and rest too." Li Bo's name is Li Cai, and he is the shopkeeper that Ye Zhiheng found for Qiubai.

There is a small room next to the kitchen, which should be used for sundries, and Qiubai has arranged it into a bedroom, and those sundries have been moved to the attic, anyway, there is a lot of open space.

Li Cai hurriedly said: "Girl, don't worry about me, you are tired and go to rest for this day, I will calculate this account again."

Qiu Bai didn't say anything more, nodded at Li Cai, and went up to the attic with Qiu Ling.

The next day, when Qiubai went downstairs, he saw that the door of the store had been opened, and the guys had begun to get busy, while Li Cai was directing on the side.

Qiu Bai smiled knowingly, "Uncle Li, I'm worried about you." ”

Li Cai, who was directing the men to do things, hurriedly turned his head when he heard this, "What did the girl say, didn't you invite me to do this, if I can't even do this, how can I have the face to stay." ”

Being called "you" by an old man who is so much older than himself, Qiubai is very unaccustomed to it, "It's good if you call me Xiaoqiu, don't always be a girl, it's rusty." ”

"Yes, Miss Xiaoqiu."

“……”

Yesterday it was newly opened, and it was very lively because of those people who cheered for it, but today it may not be......

Qiubai stood at the counter and looked absentmindedly at the outside of the store, if there was no one today, it would be interesting.

But fortunately, two people walked in soon, a man and a woman, and it looked like it should be a couple.

The two ordered a pork rib hot pot, and then sat down and whispered and laughed, which was very sweet.

Qiu Bai looked at it and felt a little envious.

She hopes that her love can be as plain as flowing water, and she will have a couple for a lifetime, and a litter of cubs running around the yard......

In a distraction, people came into the store one after another, still talking.

"This hot pot tastes pretty good, I felt quite enjoyable after eating it yesterday."

"It's so mysterious, I'd like to taste it."

"The beef hot pot I ate yesterday tastes really good, why don't you have a beef dish today, and change it to another flavor next time?"

"Okay, good, you've eaten, listen to you."

“……”

Qiubai listened to the intermittent discussion, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Although there are not too many customers in the store, it is still very stable in and out.

She is very satisfied with this, after all, it has just opened, and many people don't know about your store, take your time, it will definitely get better.

At noon, a luxury carriage stopped slowly outside the store, the curtain swayed slightly, and the county lord of Chaoyang got off the carriage elegantly with his skirt.

Li Cai greeted him with a very good look and saluted, "County Lord." Halfway through the ceremony, he was interrupted by the lord of Chaoyang County.

"Excuse me, in the future, I will come every day and you will come every day to salute, your account is not counted."

Li Cai smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

The county lord of Chaoyang took a basket and a maid to the second floor, and winked at Qiubai when he left.

Qiubai was silent for a long time, but still followed.

Raising his hand to push open the door of the private room, he saw the county lord of Chaoyang sitting at the table with his hands on his cheeks, his expression a little sad.

Seeing Qiubai coming in, he hurriedly beckoned to her, "Come and sit." ”

Qiu Bai was surprised and a little flattered by the Chaoyang County Lord's enthusiastic move.

She bowed her head and saluted, "County Lord." ”

The county lord of Chaoyang looked at her awkward posture, but, "Poof! ......" laughed, "Forget it, don't do it, are you making me laugh?" ”

is so approachable, such a smiling nightmare like a flower, and Luo Yiyi's laughing and scolding demeanor is simply the same.

Qiu Bai slowly sat down on the chair, "When will the county lord look for me?" ”

The county lord of Chaoyang frowned slightly, "I'm curious, you don't seem to know what dignity and humility are in your identity." ”

The tone is yin and yang, and there is some sarcasm.

Qiubai erased the trace of good feelings in her heart for her just born.

"The day after tomorrow, my birthday, Nuo~ invitation, remember to dress pretty, to open such a big hot pot restaurant, there are always some family backgrounds, don't keep making a poor and sour look." The county lord of Chaoyang took out an invitation with a foundation and blue edge, and photographed it in front of Qiubai, looking like a gift.

Qiu Bai glanced at the invitation and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I may have to disappoint the county lord, my small shop has just opened, and I still have a lot of things to do, so I may not be able to go."

The county lord of Chaoyang didn't eat her, "Isn't there a shopkeeper, and there are so many guys, what do you want to see?" Look at the silver, afraid of being swallowed by the shopkeepers? ”

The excuse was punctured in an instant, Qiubai felt that this Chaoyang County Lord was too domineering, and she refused so obviously. Thinking about it again, yes, people are county lords, and the body of ten thousand gold is very delicate, and they are held by the people below all day long, and it is not normal to be domineering.

"County Lord, there is a huge disparity between my identity and you, I can't blend into your circle and don't want to blend in, and if I go, I will only embarrass you." Qiubai's words were sincere, she really thought so.

When the county lord of Chaoyang heard this, he suddenly came to Qiubai and stared at her eyes, "Huh? It turns out that you know the humble, so why don't you bow down in front of me? And a mouthful of a "me". ”

Qiu Bai laughed when he heard this, "Didn't you also use "me", you didn't take the county lord's shelf, so I am naturally also "me". ”

"Haha......" Lord Chaoyang laughed amusedly, "It's the first time I've grown up like you, and it's the first time I've met someone as fun as you." Her eyes darkened slightly, "He should think so, too." ”

"Autumn ...... White, that's right, right? Lord Chaoyang wiped the gloom from his eyes and asked.

Qiubai nodded and said with a smile: "No."

"We can be friends for a while...... Ah no, allies. ”

"Huh?" Qiubai looked confused.

The county lord of Chaoyang smiled, "Ming people don't do dark things, let's open the skylight and say bright things."

"I like Ah Heng, you like Yan Ning, but it's a pity that Yan Ning only has me in his heart, and Ah Heng ......" The county lord of Chaoyang said this, and his mood was low again, "I was blindfolded for a while, and I fell in love with you." ”

From those few short contacts, how could the county lord of Chaoyang not notice the difference between Ye Zhiheng and Qiubai, a woman's sensitivity is innate.

"So, let's form an alliance, I'll help you chase Yan Ning, and you help me seduce Ah Heng!"

These few words almost shattered Qiubai's fragile little heart.

I didn't expect that this Chaoyang county lord would be so open, even more open than her, a modern woman!

"However, I don't like Yan Ning anymore." Autumn White Road.

The county lord of Chaoyang laughed "haha" when he heard this, "You are stupid to me, the kind of eyes you look in the night of the Lantern Festival, others can't see it, but I have a deep understanding, such deep emotions, how can I say that I don't like it." ”

Qiu Bai wanted to say that she did let go, just because Yan Ning's attitude was too hurtful that night.

Her love was already humble, and she was ruthlessly rejected by Yan Ning several times, and her heart was already cold.

She always thought that she might never forget Yan Ning, a man, for the rest of her life, but she thought of herself too single-mindedly and too dedicatedly, but in just a few hours, Yan Ning became a thing of the past.

What kind of love that doesn't ask for anything in return, what deep emotions that I'm good as long as you're good, she thinks it's all.

At least, she can't.

She will not want love that cannot be answered, love that is bumpy and fruitless, and she will guard her heart and no longer pay each other stupidly.

"I understand your mood very well, to be honest, I hate you very much, because you let Ah Heng see it in his eyes, but I like you a little, because of your temperament, I am very relaxed and relaxed, how to say it, it's very complicated anyway." Lord Chaoyang's expression was very serious.

Qiu Bai listened to her words, smiled slightly, and did not speak.

At this time, there was a knock on the private room door, "Come in." The county lord of Chaoyang spoke in a deep voice.

The voice fell, the door of the private room was pushed open, and two guys walked in, and the empty-handed guy leaned over and took the lid of the stove and put the hot pot on the shelf.

Qiubai took the opportunity to leave, "The county lord eats slowly." ”

The county lord of Chaoyang sat upright and nodded at her with a noble face.

Qiubai opened the door and walked out of the private room.

The county lord of Chaoyang ate this hot pot for more than half an hour, and Qiubai looked at the county lord of Chaoyang whose stomach was obviously round, and felt a little like he had good news.

Because, she can eat a hot pot by herself for a whole hour, and she doesn't drink alcohol or anything, she just eats purely.

"You forgot to take the invitation." The county lord of Chaoyang walked to the counter and slapped the invitation again.

Qiubai was a little helpless, "The county lord ......"

"I'm leaving, remember to dress nicely." The county lord of Chaoyang interrupted Qiubai's shirk, turned around and left in style.

Qiubai picked up the invitation and was depressed.

It's all aristocratic ladies and sons, what is she doing as a commoner, and when the time comes, people will ignore her and isolate her, so how embarrassing is she!

But after all the invitations have been received, can I still not go? Of course I have to go, otherwise this Chaoyang County Lord will definitely find all kinds of ways to rectify her!

Since she is going, then she naturally has to get better clothes, and if she wants to wear such a dress, she is afraid that the county lord of Chaoyang will go crazy.

"Uncle Li, I can't be in the store for some things these two days, you have to work hard." She put away the invitation and turned her head to Li Caidao.

It's just right that I went back to the Wei Palace's mansion today to ask about those gifts.

Li Cai raised his head from the account book and said with a smile: "Miss Xiaoqiu, just go, you don't have to worry about the things in the store."

Qiu Bai nodded, and ran to the back kitchen to find Qiu Ling, "Xiaoling, you have worked hard in the past two days, I can't come if I have something to do." ”

There are a lot of guys in the store, Qiu Ling has nothing to do every day and can't be idle, so he looks at a little thing and starts to do it himself, and is helping the kitchen wash vegetables at this time.

Hearing this, he said, "Go ahead, there is me in the store." 2k reading web
