Chapter 47: Blind date
The carriage traveled some distance along the main road.
Turn left into a garden-like area.
Finally, it stopped in front of a stone archway.
A servant and maid who were guarding the door came to meet him,
Curtsied and waited in front of the carriage.
"Tan Gongzi, we're here."
The driver opened the door with quick hands and feet, and put a square footstool in place.
"Follow me for a while, don't run around on your own, and don't get too nervous." Tan Pan got out of the car and walked forward with Wei Tao.
Wei Tao nodded and walked behind with two boxes.
He wasn't nervous.
After all, in his previous life, he had even been to the more solemn and magnificent palace more than once, and although the scenery here was beautiful and magnificent, it was far from shocking him.
Soon after the two of them entered the door, they saw two young women wearing big hats standing on the stone bridge in front of them.
The woman on the left is dignified and generous.
Although the face is not very delicate and beautiful,
But it has its own beautiful temperament.
The girl on the right looks like she is older, and her appearance is gentle and soft, giving people a feeling of weakness.
When Tan Pan saw the two of them, he immediately smiled, and walked over quickly to greet the woman on the left.
"Jiao Yun, this is the seventh junior brother I mentioned to you before, Wei Tao."
He walked up to the stone bridge with a smile and pointed to the gift box that Wei Tao was carrying, "I know that Miss Qu will also come over today, Senior Brother Wei specially asked someone to bring a gift from the Hundred Gardens of Linqi City......
"Is it the rouge gouache of the Hundred Gardens, Wei Gongzi really has a heart."
Huang Jiaoyun called someone to take the gift box, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Is this considered a heart-in-mind, I remember that Sister Qu Sheng used it on weekdays, and it happened to be something from the Hundred Gardens." ”
The corners of Qu Shang's lips provoked a hint of a smile, and said lightly, "Then thank you Wei Gongzi." ”
"Miss Qu likes it." Wei Tao could only smile politely back, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
The double reed made by the senior brother and the second lady of the Huang family didn't say hello to him in advance, which really caught people off guard.
Also specially entrusted with things bought from Linqi City?
He only found out about the garden party the night before,
Even if the flying pigeon passes the book, the horse whips back,
I'm afraid I won't have time to deliver these two boxes of things.
"Sister Yun, it's almost time, we should go in too." Standing on the stone bridge and chatting for a while, Qu Shang reminded.
"Oh, let's go, then."
Huang Jiaoyun nodded and led a few people down the stone bridge.
As a result, she had just walked less than ten meters, and she said anxiously, "Oh, Sister Qu, I just remembered that there seems to be something that needs Brother Tan's help to deal with it." ”
"This ......" Qu Sheng was silent for a moment and sighed lowly, "Since Sister Yun has something to do, let's go and get busy first." ”
"Anyway, I'm familiar with the way to Meiyuan, so it's no problem to bring Wei Gongzi over."
When Huang Jiaoyun heard this, a flower suddenly appeared on his face, "I know that Sister Qu Shang is empathetic, then I will leave with Brother Tan first, you two have a good chat, and then we will find you for a drink when we are done." ”
In an instant, only Wei Tao and Qu Sheng were left under the stone bridge.
The atmosphere became a little awkward and subtle for a while.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Meiyuan."
After a moment of silence, it was Qu Sheng who broke the silence and walked forward first.
After silently walking a distance, she suddenly sighed leisurely, looked ahead with her eyes and said slowly, "I understand what Sister Yun means, but I don't have too many ideas about that right now, and besides, I don't think the two of us are suitable." ”
Qu Sheng suddenly closed his voice, and then said slightly apologetically, "Don't think about it too much, I don't mean to say that Wei Gongzi is not excellent, but ......"
Wei Tao interrupted her and smiled gently, "Miss Qu doesn't need to say much, I understand it very well, and I didn't think much about it." ”
"That's good." Qu Shang stopped and pointed to the patchwork of buildings ahead.
"That's Mei Yuan, I still have some things, so I won't accompany Wei Gongzi over."
"Thank you Miss Qu for leading the way, I'll just go over by myself." Wei Tao clenched his fists and saluted.
She nodded, beckoning the maid to walk in the other direction.
After walking a distance, Qu Sheng stopped and said to the maid beside him.
"Xiaoyue, you take my jade plate, now go back to the old mansion and go to Granny Pan to get some things."
"Go home now, are you in such a hurry?" The maid Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Qu Sheng took out the token and handed it to her, "It's not particularly anxious to say that you are in a hurry, but it is better to finish this matter as soon as possible, so you can run hard." ”
If it is in an ordinary rich and noble family, the maid who is a slave will never dare to talk to her own young lady so big or small.
But Xiaoyue's mother is the nurse of Qu Shang, and the two have grown up together since childhood, and they are more like playmates and sisters than the main family and subordinates, so they are more casual in daily life.
Xiao Yue put away the jade plate, "What does Miss want to take?" ”
Qu Shang pondered for a moment, "Let Granny Pan take a box of medicinal materials needed by martial artists to stimulate qi and blood, the standard must be higher, plus ten Tongmai Pills, just say that I want to give it away." ”
After thinking for a while, she added, "Let her pick a fur from the old mansion treasury and bring it with the medicinal herbs." ”
"The size of the big one is calculated according to the figure of the Wei Gongzi just now, it is better to be a little bigger than small."
"Wei Gongzi?" Xiao Yue took the jade plate, but did not leave.
Instead, he said with some confusion, "Miss, didn't you just say that you don't like that person?" ”
"Why do you want to prepare such a valuable gift for him?"
"A large fur in the treasury, but it is worth at least a few dozen taels of silver, so give it to him, how much do we lose?"
"Not to mention a box of well-matched top-grade medicinal herbs, plus ten Tongmai Pills, that's something that is hard to buy even with money."
She couldn't stop asking a series of questions.
Qu Sheng looked at the red wall and green tiles in the distance, and said with a smile, "Since he prepared the gift in advance, we can't be rude anyway, right?" ”
"However, it doesn't have to cost so much, how much is two boxes of rouge gouache worth?"
Xiao Yue still looked a little unconvinced, and pouted, "What's more, didn't Miss ask me to find someone to inquire in detail, he is a civilian from a bitter cold background, even if he is now an official disciple of the Red Line Martial Arts Gym, after all, he doesn't have any background and help,
In the future, he can be regarded as a caretaker in the inner city, so there is no need to waste time and money on him. ”
"Zhao Yigongzi, who is not as good as the Zhao family in the inner city, is only two or three years older than this Wei Tao, and he is about to break through to the blood coagulation realm, and his future is limitless."
"If you want me to say, just buy some pastries from the shops in the inner city, it's already a rare treasure for him."
"Xiao Yue, don't say it, just do what I say." The smile on Qu Shang's face remained unchanged, but his tone sank faintly.
"Even if we don't care about his thoughts, we still have to take care of Miss Huang's face, and we can't let people say anything."
Although Qu Shang looks gentle and weak, he is not weak, he has his own opinions when encountering problems, and belongs to the kind of character that is round on the outside and square on the inside, otherwise he can't control the family business as a woman.
Seeing that her young lady had already made a decision, Xiao Yue didn't dare to say more, and walked directly outside with the jade card.
