Outside the house, the light thunder pond rained, dripping ten miles of lotus fragrance.

Yan Yuqing sat under the porch, watching strings of raindrops gently fall from the eaves like crystal curtains, splashing on the ground and causing layers of ripples. The birds did not dare to fly out on the beam, for fear of wetting the bright and bright feathers.

This situation made her wonder if she would have a different kind of luxury if she wrapped gold inlaid treasures on the whole white crystal hairpin like raindrops.

After deliberation, several young girls came together, led by a woman with red makeup and a light smile, with a pink tourmaline butterfly as thin as a cicada's wings, a small white pearl tassel hairpin, and a pink tourmaline butterfly of the same style on the ears, supplemented by a drop of emerald tourmaline. Every step of the way, the bead chain swaying, looking forward to the brilliance, both delicate and gorgeous.

Yan Yuqing remembered that she was the second girl of Yan Xiang's family, the owner of Xiangmanlou, and the younger sister of her own clan, named Yan Yingxue. When they first came to Yizhou, their family went to meet her, so they had a relationship. Later, he sent someone to send an invitation to the Doubao Club.

Yan Yuqing stepped forward, and heard several other girls quip: "Yingxue, your sister and you have two or three points like you." ”

Yan Yingxue lowered her eyes shyly, and said with a smoky look: "How can I have such an ethereal appearance as my sister was born, and I forget the vulgar when I see it." Don't make fun of me. ”

As soon as the sentence came out, everyone laughed and trembled. Yan Yuqing couldn't help laughing on the side, and said secretly, what a solid girl.

"Sister" Yan Yingxue stepped forward quickly to salute, and on her round and fair face, two shallow dimples lined her whole person with a cute and cute person: "I have made a new poem, see if I can take your color head this time." ”

Yan Yuqing smiled and nodded frequently: "Okay, read it to me." ”

Yan Yingxue's little head shook as she spoke, her big eyes fanned her thick eyelashes, and she said in a sweet and lovely voice: "The sugar packet is like a full moon, and there is sauce and syrup." The porridge is as sweet as honey, and the taste is as fragrant as the river fish. ”

Yan Yuqing blinked, she heard it right, this is a "Gluttonous Poem"?

After Yan Yingxue finished reading, there was silence under the corridor, only the beating sound of the rain dripping mixed with the occasional shouting of the little girl in the front hall.

All of a sudden, there was a burst of laughter.

Yan Yuqing listened, and couldn't help but break the gong, and his originally expressionless face instantly overflowed. Full of tears from laughter. She held on to the pillar, thumped her hands and feet, and after a while, she smiled slightly: "This time the color head should be you, if you can make a delicious sugar bag by yourself, it will be ironclad!" ”

"Really?" When Yan Yingxue heard this, she hurriedly raised her hand and called a maid in a green dress beside her, and said hurriedly: "Go to the dried fruit shop to buy some sesame seeds, peanuts and sugar, I want to go back and make sugar packets." ”

As soon as these words came out, they caused everyone to laugh again

The maidservant in green nodded yes, smiled and turned to walk out.

Yan Yingxue pulled Yan Yuqing's coat and said coquettishly: "Sister, what is your color head this time?" ”

Yan Yuqing looked at her and was about to speak, when she heard the maid who had just gone out panting and ran back again: "Girl, Shen Langjun is back from suppressing bandits, and he has returned with a big victory!" The head of the house personally made a large table of dishes and washed the dust for him in Xiangmanlou. ”

"Cousin is back" Yan Yingxue cheered happily, pulling Yan Yuqing and the others: "Let's go, let's try my father's craftsmanship, he hasn't cooked for a long time." The lion's head is burned, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, mellow and delicious. After saying that, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

Yan Yuqing covered his sleeves and snickered, and before he could answer, he was dragged into the carriage by Yan Yingxue.

Xiangmanlou and Yixin Jewelry Store were on the same street, and Yan Yuqing felt that he had just sat down for a while when the carriage stopped.

This is the first time she has come to this store, watching the familiar "Yan" character flag waving in the wind on the majestic restaurant, looking around, Xiangmanlou is the highest luxury in the whole street. That sense of superiority from the Yan family came spontaneously.

Yan Yuqing said secretly: Only when the Yan clan is strong, can they, the children of the Yan clan, have branches to rely on like now. When I was full of emotion, I was surrounded by people and led in.

Xiangman is a three-storey building, and there are two mahogany stairs in the east and west in the hall that can accommodate more than 100 people on the first floor. The green jade paving in all directions, the gilded auspicious stone pillars, and the cloisonné enamel glazed wall lamps on the wall, the end is the carved beams and painted buildings, which are luxurious and unparalleled, and a rich and elegant scene. Yan Yuqing was dazzled when he saw it, and his inner excitement was indescribable.

This is the first time she has seen Yan's industry abroad, and she wonders if her Yixin jewelry can be made on such a scale in the future.

Walk through the rows of neatly arranged Huanghuali tables and chairs. The servant led them to a private room on the second floor. It is a room full of marine style, with a large ship set sail on the blue wall hand-painted and a wooden carved flat boat on the table.

Yan Xiangzheng, the boss of the Xiangpu Building, was sitting in the middle with a smile and nodding at them, and the jade-faced Langjun sitting next to him must be the "Cousin Shen" in Yan Yingxue's mouth.

After they gave Yan Xiang a salute, Yan Yingxue introduced Shen Baifei and Yan Yuqing to each other alone.

Seeing that the others were very familiar with Shen Baifei, Yan Yuqing guessed in his heart that they should often eat together, so it was not surprising.

Yan Xiang and Yan Yuqing chatted about the current situation in the capital, and after asking Shen Baifei about the bandits, a maid came in with delicacies.

The seashell-carved plates and seahorse-shaped chopsticks are chic and interesting, and the octopus-shaped bowls and dishes placed in the wooden boat make Yan Yuqing secretly amazed.

It's no wonder that such a magnificent and expensive restaurant can also be crowded, and it is indeed worth the money.

Yan Yuqing asked Yan Yingxue softly, "Are the other rooms on the second floor like this?" ”

Yan Yingxue shook her head and whispered: "It's all different." ”

Yan Yuqing nodded, and said in his heart: No wonder this business can be done so impressively, in addition to the attraction of food, this ever-changing room seems to be one of the selling points. Every time you come, there's a whole new experience.

Today is a worthwhile trip.

After she saw Xiangmanlou, she also had some new ideas for her shop.

Shen Baifei was at the banquet, in addition to replying to Yan Xiang's words, he occasionally had a few words with Yan Yingxue, and rarely took the initiative to chat with others. When a pair of eyes caught glimpse of Yan Yuqing, they occasionally stopped for a moment, and after being noticed by Yan Yuqing, they quickly moved away.

When Yan Xiang asked about Yan's turquoise mine in Xiangyang during the banquet, she spoke generously. When talking about encountering the earth dragon, everyone was amazed and curious, and their hearts followed Yan Yuqing's words, sometimes nervous and surprised, sometimes ecstatic.

Where has Shen Baifei ever seen such a bold and interesting girl, with a pair of eyes as calm as a deep pool, and at this moment, they also exude a strange brilliance.

As everyone was listening, the door was pushed open with a bang. On one side, the jade-faced Langjun, who was like a silver moon hanging high, was staring at Shen Baifei who was listening to Yan Yuqing's speech with an angry face.

He was dressed in a purple gold silk gown, decorated with Tahitian peacock blue mirror pearls, and wore a purple and gold cat's eye obsidian at his waist. With just a glance, Yan Yuqing classified him as a potential customer of Yixin Jewelry.

"Bai Fei, when you come back, you don't look for me, just to listen to her thoughts there?" The man's sword eyebrows went into the sideburns, and a pair of thin eyes were full of resentment, pointing at the stunned Yan Yuqing, and Shen Baifei's face was crimson.

Yan Yuqing was surprised that he had invisibly pulled hatred again, and at the same time, he glanced at Shen Baifei meaningfully, and then glanced at the man with a smile, as if I already understood.

Yan Xiang coughed lightly twice, interrupting the dark atmosphere, and said to Lang Jun in a purple robe at the door: "Bi Jian, why are you here?" ”

The purple-clothed young man named Bi Jian glanced at him unruly, and said in an unkind tone: "Are you waiting for you to invite me?" ”

He couldn't help but let Yan Yingxue, who was sitting next to Shen Baifei, give him a place, and he kept sitting next to Shen Baifei, taking out the newly acquired jade jue and gems and chatting eloquently. If you like it, I will give it away.

Shen Baifei faced Bi Jian's enthusiasm, and only occasionally responded to a few words. The originally good atmosphere was somewhat weird after this person came.

When the meal was almost finished, Bi Jian seemed to notice that there was a girl sitting next to him who she didn't seem to have seen before, so she casually asked where she came from and what she was doing at home. Seeing Shen Baifei listening attentively, Bi Jian's face immediately became a little gloomy.

A meal that is eaten in an awkward way will always make people feel a little indigestion. After Yan Yuqing returned to the house, he walked to the garden for a walk, and saw Qingzhu coming over with a post.

"Girl, Satin Yunxuan next door handed you a greeting post today, inviting you and Miss Wu to come to the store tomorrow."

Yan Yuqing nodded lightly and said: "Neighbors, let's go and have a look, and by the way, bring a jade high porcelain turquoise bracelet for her to play with." ”

Qingzhu smiled, the girl always likes to take turquoise as a gift, and she has to go to the warehouse to find it for a while.

The business of Yixin Jewelry Store has slowly stepped onto the right track, and Yan Yuqing looked at Xue Yun and the others who were comfortable with it, and was very satisfied.

Yan Yingxue and Shen Baifei came over early in the morning to pick a birthday gift for their grandmother, and Yan Yuqing recommended them a set of Nanhongtou noodles full of flesh. Inside, there are hairpins of birds on the branches, carved pendants with 108 Buddha beads in southern red, as well as gold bracelets, rings and earrings with egg faces. The red color of the south is ruddy and festive, and it is most suitable for the elderly to make birthday gifts.

After Yan Yingxue and Shen Baifei finished picking their birthday gifts, they played a game while drinking tea in the pavilion. The chess pieces made of white jade and black jade are warm and moist to the touch.

Shen Baifei looked around, feeling that the jewelry store here was different, less brilliant, but more chic and tranquil, and couldn't help asking: "This place is all decorated by Yan Yuqing?" ”

Qingzhu, who was pouring tea on the side, heard it and answered with a smile: "From site selection to decoration, from employment to jewelry, our girl handled it single-handedly." The words were full of pride and pride.

As soon as Shen Baifei collected the surprise in his eyes, an arrogant voice came from the door: "Someone, pour a drink for the master, I'm dying of thirst all the way." ”

Bi Jian's handsome and elegant face was full of impatience, so he casually found a chair and sat down, and began to order the little guy next to him to keep fanning.

The apprentice on the counter had already brought a cup of steaming tea with a smile on his face, and Bi Jian immediately spit it out as soon as he entered his mouth: "Do you want to burn the master?" ”

One hand flew out: "bang", and the red cloud relief agate cup shattered to the ground.

Yan Yuqing frowned invisibly, shook his head, and was about to calm things down, at this time-
