Volume 2 Northern Xinjiang Journey Chapter 56 Feng is the shopkeeper
Li Yuejiao was startled by the scene in front of the door, took a step back, and almost hit the shadow wall, only to find that the huge shadow turned out to be a tall and strong man like Roshan.
With his pestle there, Li Yuejiao only felt that her yard was much smaller.
The Roshan man didn't seem to be scared, but his eyes had already skimmed over the clouds, and he smiled at Li Yuejiao:
"Madam, in the next heavenly Qiaoqiao owner Feng Enmao, I have seen the wife of General Zhenbei."
Li Yuejiao was not surprised that he would recognize herself, after all, even though she didn't like to dress up, the difference between dressing up and the master and servant of the cloud group was still obvious.
She was only surprised by Boss Feng's appearance.
As a carpenter with a family history, although Li Yuejiao is not proficient, when facing her peers, she is accustomed to looking at the tools and the hands, and the hands of Boss Feng in front of her are thick and big, more terrifying than bear paws, and the thinnest fingers are three or four times thicker than ordinary men.
In addition to being thick, his hands are well maintained, the skin and tender flesh are white, not only are there no scars, but there are no cocoons on his fingertips, tiger's mouths and other places where tools should be held.
Where do you look like a carpenter?
Li Yuejiao still remembers her mother's hands, although they are beautiful and slender, and their skin is like cream, but they feel rougher than her father's hands when they touch them, and there is a thin layer of calluses on her fingers.
Even if Tiangongqiao is backed by the Feng family, she still thinks that if the owner of a carpenter shop has no skills, it will be difficult to convince the public.
Li Yuejiao's gaze took away from Feng Enmao's hand and landed on his face.
She is naΓ―ve and doesn't like to ponder people, but she is not a fool, the Feng family, as a scholar, can lead the hundred craftsmen in the north, so the opening of heaven and craftsmanship will definitely not be just to bully and dominate the market; And those who can grasp the ingenuity should not be without real skills.
There is no trace of being a craftsman on his body, so he can only have a mind that can ponder.
Thinking about it, Li Yuejiao showed her usual smile at Feng Enmao, with deep dimples, looking innocent and ignorant of the world.
"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Feng," she said with a smile, "I have long admired the great name, you came, is there something wrong?" β
Not only is his face naΓ―ve, but he is stunned when he speaks, with the condescending arrogance of the superiors.
Feng Enmao assessed the lady in front of him in his heart, and said with a smile: "Madam, Feng heard that Mrs. was going to open a carpenter shop, and because he thought that he was traveling with his wife, he came to meet Mrs. in advance. β
Li Yuejiao's smile remained unchanged: "You're polite, it's just to open a shop, but since you and I are peers, we will have to fight in the future, I just hope that Shopkeeper Feng will not be a snake and bully Mrs. Ben." β
She is not good at arrogance, so her tone is unnatural, and her deliberately arrogant look is even more stiff.
But Feng Enmao already despised Li Yuejiao in his heart.
β¦β¦ This is said bluntly and ridiculously.
This is Xue Zhen's wife? Sure enough, after the promotion of the small people, they were not as good as the daughter of the side branch of their clan.
Only he thought so in his heart, and his face was even more humble: "How dare you, Mrs. opens a shop, and the villain has to retreat, and in the future, I will ask Mrs. to take care of it more." β
The posture is getting lower and lower, as if Li Yuejiao, a strong dragon, can immediately crush his little snake.
Li Yuejiao's eyes flashed, it seemed that she had thought right.
Inside and outside the courtyard, there must be a lot of people listening to the root of the wall now.
Since he wants to play humility, she has to accompany him to act.
"Shopkeeper Feng smiled," Li Yuejiao said with a smile, "Is there anything else?" There's something going on at home. β
Feng Enmao hurriedly called the family members who followed behind him, brought two loads of things, and put the gift list in front of the door together: "Madam, the small one is a small gift for Madame, and please accept it with a smile." β
Li Yuejiao immediately smiled, and her tone became happy:
"Yo, Shopkeeper Feng is too polite, Bao Nian, take the things." She commanded, and called Cuiliu to take a box of dim sum out, "These are the new dim sum made by my maid in the capital, please also ask Shopkeeper Feng to try it." β
A box of snacks, stunned by her to say the style of a box of gold.
Feng Enmao hurriedly took the snack from Cuiliu's hand in person, and said happily: "Thank you for your kindness, Madame, the little one doesn't dare to delay Madame's affairs, so I'll go back first." β
"Shopkeeper Feng walks slowly, and when my shop starts, I will invite Shopkeeper Feng to come and drink a bowl of opening wine." Li Yuejiao said with a smile.
Feng Enmao agreed repeatedly, and after respectfully moving his body like a mountain and retreating, he gathered a respectful look and turned around to board the huge carriage specially made for him.
Just now when he sat down in the car, Feng Enmao snorted coldly disdainfully, and said to Qi Yun, who was sitting in the car and listened to the whole scene:
"Such a stupid woman, it's also worth Qi Shiro's attention?"
Qi Yun leaned against the wall of the car and pillowed his arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, that's not just a stupid woman, but also a very beautiful and nosy stupid woman." β
Feng Enmao laughed out loud and reminded: "Fourth son, that's a married woman. β
Qi Yun snorted, turned a few words at the end, still smiled, and asked very confidently, "So what?" There are only red apricots in this world that Young Master Ben doesn't pick, where is there a wall that Young Master Ben can't tear down? β
Feng Enmao immediately bowed his hand and said: "In this way, Feng Mou wished the fourth prince in advance and got what he wanted." β
*
Over there, the Feng family and his party had just left, looking at the lively people outside the door of this side of the box, looking at the door of the Li family, their eyes were more in awe.
is worthy of being the wife of General Zhenbei, and dares to treat Shopkeeper Feng like that.
But Li Yuejiao, who was across the door, didn't see the eyes of the neighbors, but after Feng Enmao's tall figure got out of the way, she saw two men about twenty-five years old, well-dressed and capable, with solemn expressions, and wearing black silk clothes.
is thrown in the crowd, and you can see the extraordinary temperament at a glance.
Li Yuejiao didn't speak, and after the Feng family's ox cart left, the two of them had already walked to the door and bowed: "Hu Rong, Hu Mu, I've seen Mrs. β
Li Yuejiao smiled: "Come in and talk, the prince sent you?" β
"Yes, the prince sent his subordinates to protect the lady's home." As the two spoke, they had already entered the hospital, and they both took out a silver whistle from their arms, and handed a letter to Li Yuejiao together, "The prince has urgent business in the army today, so he can't come in person." β
The silver whistle of the brown man?
Li Yuejiao immediately recognized it, and was quite surprised in her heart, and subconsciously touched her purse.
The silver whistle that Xue Zhen gave her before, she still carried it with her, and wanted to return it to Xue Zhen, but there was always something wrong when she saw him, so she never returned it.
It is strange to say that Xue Zhen, who has unloaded the errand in Beijing, did not ask her to return the silver whistle.
Now, there are two brown-clothed people who only call Xue Zhen the son of the world to make her a nursing home.
She opened the letter, which was in Xue Zhen's handwriting, and his private seal, which was written with the names, ages, origins, appearances, and so on of Hu Rong and Hu Mu.
There are two words at the end, "Don't stay".
She put the letter away and smiled at the two of them, "I know, then thank you for taking care of them in the future." β
"Yes, don't worry, madam, the little ones should do their best." As the two spoke, they claimed to have changed.
Li Yuejiao summoned someone to get to know the two of them, asked Bao Nian to take someone to arrange a residence, and when everything stopped, she went to the kitchen again, threw Xue Zhen's letter into the stove, and watched the tongue of fire swallow it.
Yun Tuan then asked eagerly in a whisper:
"Madam, can you really accept the things sent by heaven?"
Li Yuejiao smiled at her, walked out of the kitchen and called Tong's mother: "Mom, count the two boxes of things according to the gift list, and then reseal them and put them back in the warehouse." β
Yun Tuan's expression relaxed when he heard her say this.
Mother Tong also felt that these things could not be collected, but after all, she had never been in the Hou Mansion, and she didn't know how to deal with many things, but when she saw that Yuntuan's expression was relaxed, she felt relieved and said:
"Yes."
At this moment, all kinds of things have been laid out in the yard, and the three carpenters are ready to start work under the beckoning of Fu Nian.
It's just that compared to yesterday and this morning, the faces of the three carpenters have more distrust and horror.
Li Yuejiao didn't notice it, stood aside, watched them work, and secretly commented on their craftsmanship in her heart.
The three carpenters and their little apprentice did not dare to speak much, but only worked with their heads down, hiding their doubts in their hearts.
The morning passed, and nothing happened.
At noon, there are tea and snacks during the period, which are very exquisite, and Anhua County has never seen them, which must be the so-called "new dim sum in the capital".
And Li Yuejiao started to stand and watch, and then sat to watch, only when she said how to change the furniture, she would say two words of her thoughts, and as long as she said the style, no matter how the carpenter used materials and how to handwork, she was watching with a smile and would not say much.
The style she said is not tossy to do, but there is ingenuity in the details, and even a shelf for placing the bearing plate has an idea.
But since Li Yuejiao is going to open a store, telling them this kind of thing is a leak.
The three carpenters were all on the same mind, and they made eye contact with each other, and finally when they started work again in the afternoon, Liu A had the courage to ask Li Yuejiao:
"It turns out that Madame's family also makes a living here?"
Li Yuejiao nodded: "My mother's family has opened a Karakuri Pavilion in the capital, which is as big as pavilions and pavilions, as small as ornaments in the house, and can be done for weddings and funerals." β
"No wonder when I heard my wife talk about it yesterday, I felt that I knew how to do it, but I didn't want to be a peer." Liu Adane said.
He hadn't heard of the Karakuri Pavilion, but it was the first time he had heard a person say something big about everything from pavilions to small ornaments.
Because the words are too big, they don't look like lies.
The other two carpenters looked at each other, and Master Yu asked, "Since Madame can do it, why do you want to hire the little ones to come?" β
Li Yuejiao drank half a cup of tea, put down the tea bowl, and smiled as a matter of course:
"I said that Karakuri Pavilion would do it, but I didn't say that I would do it, look at that ingenious shopkeeper Feng, will he do it?"
β¦β¦ What are these words?
While the three of them thought it was funny, they even felt that the general's wife hired them not just to repair furniture.
Thinking about it, Liu Adaa said cautiously: "Madam, Shopkeeper Feng is indeed the best carpenter in the Northland. β
Li Yuejiao raised her eyebrows lightly: "Oh? It's true? β
