Chapter 166: The Boy
Chapter 100: Tong
A little worry appeared on Lan's face, and he frowned: "He doesn't know what he's busy with in the past few years, since I went home to live, he came to visit me every three or five days, but he never mentioned the affairs of the clan, only from the words of the shopkeepers, I know that the Yan family's shop seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and the clan's ridicule of me has gradually disappeared." ”
Lan paused, and then said: "I was going to go home with him in the last few days, but who would have expected him to be suddenly placed under house arrest, but I was so anxious that I received a message from him, saying that everything was fine and told me not to read it." ”
Speaking of this, Lan suddenly looked up at Zhu and said anxiously: "Third sister, how can I not be worried." ”
Zhu patted Landi's hand soothingly, and said comfortingly: "Wait until I ask Yang Mu to inquire, what is the situation, let's make plans." ”
Lan sighed and responded, "That's all it takes." ”
Takemilan's expression was anxious, and she didn't care about the wind and dust at the moment, so she immediately asked the rich family to prepare a carriage and went straight to Yipintang to look for poplar.
As soon as he arrived at Yipintang, there was a little boy who came to guide the way, the boy was dressed in white clothes and white shoes, and even the socks were white, but he had the style of poplar.
He carefully looked at the fallen grass under his feet, while guiding the bamboo to the way, the bamboo looked interesting, and deliberately kicked up a lot of soil with his feet, the boy really showed a displeasure, but he quickened his pace, stayed at the poplar living place, pointed to the room casually, and left the bamboo to wash.
Bamboo knocked on the door twice, smelled a "come in", gently pushed the door, into the eye is a clear spring turquoise screen, faintly heard the sound of rushing water, Zhuxin was confused, tiptoeing around the screen, but saw a man with his back to her, sitting in the bathtub, holding a towel, picking up water to water his body, his shoulders were very broad, smooth muscles bulged with his movements, and his long black hair was scattered on both sides.
Zhu He once thought that he would see a picture of a beautiful man with a vivid color coming out of the bath, and he was stunned on the spot for a while, but he heard the man's deep voice command: "Bring me a bathrobe." ”
Yang Hua!
Bamboo came to his senses instantly, his feet moved back silently, but Yang Hua, who was waiting for impatience, turned his head at this time, the two people met their eyes, both were extremely embarrassed, Yang Hua was the first to react, her fair face flushed, her arms crossed her shoulders, and cried aggrievedly: "People's innocence has been ruined by you, woo woo." ”
Zhu laughed twice, turned around and rushed out, but unintentionally brought down the screen, and quickly got up, rolling and running out of the room.
Standing at the door, Zhu took a breath, raised his head and looked around, saw the figure of Yang Mu through the open window of a room, and immediately understood that he was being teased by the child.
In the future, don't offend the little ghost around the king of Hades, Zhu Xin said, looked up and said in front of the poplar door, just about to push the door, seeing a pair of poplar eyes sweeping through the window, the bamboo cleverly took out a brocade from his arms, wrapped it in his hand, and cautiously pushed the door open.
Yang Mu frowned and looked at Zhu's feet, and said categorically: "You just stand at the door." ”
Zhu touched his nose, this guy's cleanliness habit is really getting more and more serious, poor Yang Hua must have been forced to take a bath by the boss of the Yang family.
Yang Mu pointed to a map in front of him, and Zhu followed his finger and quickly identified the map of Ningdu that he had obtained from Qingyan, but at this time, he saw that the map was full of small cloth flags of five colors.
Zhu looked at Yang Mu puzzled, Yang Mu glanced at her, and explained: "A small flag represents a branch of the Yan family, the red is the money village, the green is the restaurant, and the black is the gambling house, can you see what?" ”
When Zhu heard this, he looked intently, but saw that these cloth flags were almost all over Ningdu, and they were most black, and some flags of other colors were mixed with them, and he couldn't help but reply: "Could it be that the gambling house opened by the Yan family has surpassed the Qian Village?" ”
Yang Mu nodded solemnly, and then said: "The gambling house comes quickly, but it is easy to be criticized, and it is easy to provoke people's eyes, and it is easy to make enemies, and the Yan family is extravagant, once it causes an incident, it often uses a large amount of silver money to settle it, so it is very inconsistent with its ancestral teachings." ”
Zhu Xin said, what does the second brother-in-law want to do? Don't...... She was taken aback and blurted out, "Are all the Yan family elders who run the gambling house?" ”
Yang Mu glanced at Zhu appreciatively, nodded approvingly, and said, "Yes, I am afraid it is very dangerous to be cautious at this time." ”
Zhu Xin said, can it not be dangerous, a good Yan family was defeated by him, and at this time, those clan elders were only afraid that they would react and settle accounts with him.
Zhu sighed lightly, for the sake of the second sister, she also had to take a trip to this mess of water, she asked straightforwardly: "Where is the second brother-in-law now?" ”
Zhu took Wei's hand, carried the skirt and slowly walked down from his carriage, Wei's head had two pigtails, a pink jacket, and a red pocket on his chest, looking delicate and beautiful like an enamel doll.
He pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why do you want Wei'er to wear her sister's clothes?" With a smile on his face, he carefully looked at the endless flow of the daughters of the noble lady in front of him, and lowered his voice disapprovingly: "I'm here to buy some rouge gouache for your aunt and seventh aunt as a dowry, you have to come with your mother, look, is there a boy here?" ”
Seeing that the old lady looked unkind, Wei cleverly closed her mouth, a pair of inky jade-like eyes rolled around, and obediently followed Zhu into Hongyanfang.
Zhu let go of Wei's hand, and said to the little lady who greeted him: "Take out all the best rouge in your store." ”
The little lady is also accustomed to looking at people's faces, seeing that the bamboo is dressed plainly, the bead hairpin on the hair is the most popular style nowadays, and the jade bracelet on the wrist is also a rare treasure.
Entering a private room, the bamboo was given a seat, and the little lady served a cup of tea, the tea was still hot, and a group of girls came in from the outside, each holding a tray, but there was only a box of rouge on the tray.
The little lady smiled slightly, approached one of her girls, pointed to the rouge in her hand and said: "This is a special cherry red, made of freshly squeezed cherries in May, supplemented by fragrant powder development, roasting, etc., a total of thirteen processes. ”
With that, the girl with cherry red in her hand stepped forward, and under the candlelight, her blush was like a twilight stratus cloud, revealing a watery and bright color.
Bamboo listened patiently to her introduction, for a long time, the rouge in the hands of the twelve girls was all introduced, Zhu was about to speak, there was a sound of knocking on the door outside, the little lady nodded slightly apologetically, gently opened the door, and a petite body rushed into Zhu's arms in a daze.
Grandma Wei shouted in a milky voice: "Mother, mother, this is all the rouge that my sisters gave me." ”
Zhu was stunned for a moment, and just let this little play in the store, thinking that Wei was cunning like a ghost, and he couldn't bear a loss, but he forgot that he was now seeing the problem of money, and he must have coaxed people to buy him rouge with sweet words.
Zhu picked up the rouge in Wei's arms and checked them one by one, the twelve kinds of special rouge introduced by the little lady were all in his eyes, there were still many first-class rouge, Zhu looked at the little lady with a smile, and saw that she was quite embarrassed to look away, this side has not sold a box for a long time, but there are so many more than that, if Wei comes here, I am afraid that this little lady will lose her job.
Zhu Xin said, this little ability to observe words and emotions is simply superb, looking at the price of these rouges, you can know that the people who are slaughtered by Wei are the families of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Zhu glanced at the self-conscious little lady, and said arrogantly: "Give each of these twelve kinds of rouge a hundred boxes." ”
Twelve kinds of rouge, a hundred boxes of each?
The girls on the field are collectively petrified, I have seen a lot of VIPs, but I have never seen such a big deal, the special rouge here, one box is enough to make a family of three live a well-off life for three years.
A hundred boxes of each thing, which is less than a thousand boxes? For one bag, how many bags can be bought, the girls can't calculate it.
The little lady immediately showed joy on her face, and was about to respond, but she heard Wei interject: "Mother, why spend this unjust money, isn't it just 1,200 boxes, let Wei'er stay here for a few days, and you will definitely make up enough money." ”
Zhu looked at the sweat on the little lady's forehead, unable to speak, quickly pulled the guard, and quickly changed the topic: "You go and call your boss to come down, such a big deal, you can't be the master alone?" ”
The little lady nodded desperately and hurried away, Wei inserted his thumb into his mouth, flapped his four fingers, and grimaced at her back.
Turning his head, Wei leaned towards the twelve girls holding rouge, and said with a hippie smile: "Sister, is this rouge easy to use?" ”
When the little lady turned around, she saw that the twelve girls surrounded her, and you said one by one: "My sister likes cherry red, anyway, this is also a sample, so I gave her it." ”
"That's it, I only have less than half a box in my hand."
Seeing that the little lady's face was not good, she hurriedly said, "Just deduct it from the sisters' commission." ”
Zhu cried and looked at this farce with a smile, just went out to relieve a little hand, and when he came back, he became like this, this little is really eaten by all ages, fat and thin, if these girls are asked to pay for the goods, it is better to ask them to sell themselves.
A cold voice came from the air: "All retreat, what kind of body is the chatter in front of the guests, all the maids in this class are sent back to the teaching class for retraining." ”
All the girls were immediately silent, and the little lady lowered her head and respectfully responded, and when the group of girls obediently retreated, she turned to Zhu and said, "This is our host." ”
Zhu smiled and nodded to the owner, and said with a bright face: "Tenth brother, don't come to harm?" ”。
