Chapter 103: Misunderstanding
Zhao Mingcheng was a little embarrassed, but he had to come out of the grass and salute first: "Xiaosheng didn't mean to peep, just ......"
"Just what?" Li Qingzhao turned around slowly, his bright eyes were clear and translucent, there were a little red lips under the high bridge of his nose, and his delicate facial features were perfectly matched, although they were not as beautiful as Mo Yunxiao's shocking beauty, but they also had a different kind of coquettishness.
Li Qingzhao smiled shyly, made a half-bow bow, and said: "The little woman Li Qingzhao, the daughter of Li Gefei, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, had a relationship with Zhao Yanei in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival before. ”
Zhao Mingcheng was stunned and said, "It turned out to be a girl from the Li family, disrespectful." As he spoke, he made a gesture.
Seeing that his polite appearance was interesting, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but sneer and said, "You are also a bit interesting." I knew it was coming to meet me, but I said it as if it was a coincidence. How? Are you men so thin-skinned? ”
She leaned towards Zhao Mingcheng as she spoke, Zhao Mingcheng was even more panicked, hurriedly retreated, and said, "Miss Li is joking, how do you know that the girl is here......
He looked up again, and saw that there was only the surging water of the Bianhe River, the green grass, the willow trees, and the smoke was like a fairyland, but there were only two of them as far as his eyes could see, how could there be others?
Zhao Mingcheng's cheeks were flushed, and he asked again: "Dare to ask the girl, is there no one else here in the early morning?" ”
Li Qingzhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Zhao Yanei, you and I are just making friends with all our hearts, and we are not doing some things like flies and dogs, who are you afraid of?" ”
"Miss Li!" Zhao Mingcheng emphasized solemnly, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Don't hide it, I have an appointment with me today, and I can't delay with the girl too much." In the future, if you have leisure, you can talk about it. ”
Li Qingzhao was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "You still made an appointment with someone else?" ”
Li Qingzhao looked annoyed, and Zhao Mingcheng was a little angry in his eyes. He thought to himself: "You Li Qingzhao is so domineering. I made an appointment with the lady of the Mo family to meet here, but I just happened to bump into you, and I haven't been angry when you repeatedly pestered me like this, why did you get angry first. ”
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it on his lips. So he suppressed the fire in his heart and said, "Yes, I did make an appointment with someone, but I couldn't find it in a hurry, and I was anxious in my heart, and I hope the girl will understand." ”
As he spoke, he gave another salute. Li Qingzhao has lost his reserve and gentleness.
She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Don't be one by one, let me ask you, who is the person you are dating?" ”
Zhao Mingcheng shook his robe, looked at the turbulent water of the Bianhe River and said, "This is a private matter, and it is inconvenient to tell you." ”
Li Qingzhao heard this, how could he not be angry? She looked at Zhao Mingcheng and saw that he had a pair of buckets pinned to his waist, so she asked again, "What is this?" ”
Zhao Mingcheng looked at her coldly and said, "I have to find a friend next, so I won't accompany you." ”
"You still want to go?" Li Qingzhao stepped forward, stretched out his hand and took out the bucket in his arms.
Zhao Mingcheng was caught off guard and hurriedly shouted, "Miss Li! Give me back! ”
Li Qingzhao ran two steps away and unfolded the dou fang to take a closer look, and Zhao Mingcheng also happened to catch up.
Li Qingzhao raised his eyes and looked at him and asked, "The person you asked was Mo Yunxiao?" Isn't it? ”
Zhao Mingcheng couldn't speak, so he had to say: "The matter below has nothing to do with the girl, and please return the token under the girl, and don't make any more trouble." ”
"I'm making trouble?" Li Qingzhao held the painting and sneered: "You teamed up with Mo Yunxiao to deceive me, and you actually blamed me for making trouble?!" ”
"Girl, I don't understand what you're talking about, but please pay me back quickly!" Zhao Mingcheng also accentuated his tone.
Li Qingzhao nodded, and scolded sharply: "Okay, I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back this turtle son!" ”
As she spoke, she waved her arms, and the bucket in her hand flew straight towards the Bianhe River. "Ahh Zhao Mingcheng was shocked, watching the scroll fly in the air, gently falling into the river, and it was only a blink of an eye to drown in the rushing water.
"Ahh Oops! Zhao Mingcheng was about to pick up his placket and go into the water to fish. Li Qingzhao watched from the side and sneered: "You go!" Go and ask the Dragon King of Bianhe for your token! ”
"You ......" Zhao Mingcheng is not water-savvy, and he knows that he is also unlucky when he goes into the water. His face turned red, and he pointed at Li Qingzhao and said, "Girl of the Li family, you are also from the family of eunuchs, the mansion of ink fragrance, how can you be more rude than ordinary village women!" Although the lady of the Mo family was born in a businessman, she has a noble character and is even more admirable in civil and military affairs. And you ......"
Zhao Mingcheng originally thought that his accusation would attract a more violent response from the other party, but she didn't think that she just looked at herself blankly, and tears flowed in her eyes.
"Therefore, ......" Li Qingzhao choked with tears: "So you never thought of meeting me from the beginning, did you?" ”
Seeing Li Qingzhao crying, Zhao Mingcheng's anger disappeared immediately, and he was even a little ashamed.
He said in a slightly apologetic tone: "I really didn't know that Miss Li was here. ”
Li Qingzhao bit his lip, his eyes full of bitter tears. She was silent for a long time, and Zhao Mingcheng was also embarrassed.
After a while, she picked up her flower umbrella and ran away. Zhao Mingcheng wanted to stop her, but he didn't know what to say after stopping, so he had to watch her go away, leaving infinite melancholy in his heart.
At this time, after the rain, the sky was clear, and the number of pedestrians on the street increased one after another. Mo Yunxiao was telling Yunxi to take her maids to the new store, that is, Zhang Chun's original Changfeng Building, to tidy up her belongings and prepare for the opening in the future.
Soon after Yunxi went, Mo Yunxiao checked the account books of the past few days with Du Juan, and after checking the accounts, the tea guests also came to the door one after another.
Mo Yunxiao stretched her waist and was about to go back to her room to rest for a while, preparing the book she was going to talk about today.
But just as she was about to leave, she heard a loud shout from behind: "Mo Yunxiao, you come out for me!" ”
The tea guests, the maids and Mo Yunxiao were all stunned, and everyone looked sideways, and saw that standing at the door of the tea building was a graceful woman holding a flower umbrella and wearing purple clothes.
Mo Yunxiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wan'er?" How did you get to me? She went up and looked around, and asked, "What?" Did you guys talk unpleasantly? ”
Li Qingzhao nodded with a sly smile with a fiery anger in his eyes, and said, "Pleasant! It was so pleasant! Mo Yunxiao, it's really yours, you two are working together to deceive me! It's time for me to congratulate you on how you played me! ”
Mo Yunxiao was a little confused, and asked with a smile: "Wan'er, where did you start here?" Come on, come in, come in. ”
As she spoke, she took Li Qingzhao's hand, but Li Qingzhao shook it off and said, "Why bother, since you have an appointment with Zhao Yanei, why don't you go to the appointment!" What are you doing with me here? ”
"Wan'er, what did you say?" Mo Yunxiao smiled dumbly: "How could I have an appointment with Zhao Yanei." ”
Li Qingzhao was even more angry, pressed over step by step, and said, "I'm going to ask you this too!" I know that you have a talent for painting and filling in words, you just paint, why use my little order again! Hum! Zhao Mingcheng praised you for being a person who is both civil and military, how can you steal other people's words? ”
"I ...... How have I stolen your words! Mo Yunxiao was also forced to retreat again and again: "I'm just ...... I just want to borrow your words to teach him that you are thinking in your heart. ”
"Is it my heart, or are you missing?" Li Qingzhao looked unforgiving, so frightened that the cuckoos didn't dare to come out.
"Mo Yunxiao! When you open a tea shop to do business, you should talk about sincerity! If you are interested in Zhao Mingcheng, I should be considerate. But you can do your best, how can you be worthy of the signboard of your tea house! ”
Mo Yunxiao was very embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Wan'er, you be quiet, there must be a misunderstanding between us!" ”
"Humph! You're afraid I'll spread your ugly deeds! Li Qingzhao saw an empty table, so he stepped on the bench and climbed up in three or two steps.
She said loudly as if she was giving a speech: "Ladies and gentlemen in Tokyo, this Mo Yunxiao Mo shopkeeper is a complete villain. She disobeys the yang and the yin, and the things that harm others become her own selfishness. She also bewitched the official family...... Belch! ”
Mo Yunxiao also jumped up, and slapped a hand knife on Li Qingzhao's neck as if it had slapped the switch button on her body, and instantly fainted in front of her.
Mo Yunxiao hurriedly supported her body, and with the cooperation of Huan'er and Du Juan, carried her to the inner courtyard.
The tea guests looked at each other, and it took a long time for someone to start talking.
"Second brother of the Wang family, I don't know who this woman who came to make trouble?" A middle-aged man with a mustache asked his companion.
The companion was a slightly chubby bald man, and he pouted and said: "I don't know, but I heard the lady of the Mo family call her Wan'er, and what poems and lyrics do you have, eighty percent of them are Li Qingzhao, the girl of the Ministry of Rites' family!" ”
"Huh? Is it Li Qingzhao whose poem name overshadows Mrs. Wei? The mustache smiled and said, "The Hedong lion met the female yaksha, which is interesting and interesting." ”
Li Qingzhao was lying quietly on Mo Yunxiao's bed, still muttering in his mouth: "Defu! Defu! Don't go, don't go......"
Huan'er put on a thin blanket for her and came to stand beside Mo Yunxiao. Mo Yunxiao sat under the window, poured herself a cup of tea, and sighed: "There must be some misunderstanding between them." ”
Huan'er pursed her lips and said, "Girl, according to the small one, you have a deeper misunderstanding between the lady of the Li family and the girl." ”
Mo Yunxiao sighed: "Although Li Qingzhao is a little spicy, his sincere heart towards Zhao Mingcheng is touching. Alas, such infatuated people are rare. ”
At this time, a maid came running in a hurry, knocked on the window and said, "Big girl, is there someone looking outside?" ”
"Who?" Mo Yunxiao asked.
"It's the son of the Zhao family." The maid replied.
Huan'er and Mo Yunxiao glanced at each other and exclaimed, "It's so fast!" Then she put up the hanging window and said, "Call him in quickly." ”
Mo Yunxiao hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't be busy." ”
Huan'er was a little strange and asked, "What's the matter, girl?" ”
Mo Yunxiao's eyes rolled, and she instructed the maid: "Go out and talk back, just say that I am not feeling well today and it is not suitable to see guests." ”
"Oh." The maid answered and went.
Mo Yunxiao's face was full of sadness, and she slowly explained to Huan'er: "Wan'er made a fuss outside just now, and the tea guests must use this as a talking point to talk about it, and they don't know what they will say." At this time, calling the foreign man into the inner courtyard added fuel to the fire. You say, do you want the face of our Mo family. ”
Huan'er nodded, and said, "But you can't keep dragging it out like this." ”
Mo Yunxiao glanced at her and said, "It's not difficult to do this, but you can't rush it." When Wan'er woke up, she asked her clearly, and then asked Zhao Mingcheng to come, and the three of them sat opposite each other to solve the knot. ”
Huan'er nodded, not knowing what to say, only a long sigh.
Zhao Mingcheng was naturally depressed when he didn't see people, he only stood at the gate of the Ming Building in a daze. The cuckoo covered his mouth and smiled, and said to a maid beside him: "Do you know that the last time I asked to see our girl like this was Brother Xuan of the Song family. ”
The maid's eyes widened, and she said in an incredulous tone, "Brother Xuan? Is it that Brother Xuan of Little Pan An? ”
"Who else is it not him?" The cuckoo smiled contemptuously and said, "Our girl doesn't know how many men have bent down and bowed. ”
After she finished speaking, she stepped forward again and said to Zhao Mingcheng: "Zhao Yanei, do you want to come in for a cup of tea or go out?" But what do you tell us to do business when you're standing at the gate? ”
Zhao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then bowed down and said: "If you don't keep your soul, please ask the girl to tell your shopkeeper, and you will come back to disturb it another day." ”
The cuckoo also returned the salute and said, "Yanei is gracious, and the little one has written it down for my lady." ”
Zhao Mingcheng nodded, turned around and left. But as soon as he turned around, he collided with someone.
"Oops!" With a burst of fragrant powder, Zhao Mingcheng was taken aback. And the woman who crashed into her was even more startled, instinctively stepped back, but as soon as she stepped on the empty body, she was weightless, and she was about to fall down while speaking.
In his eagerness, Zhao Mingcheng didn't care about any etiquette, so he went straight out and grabbed the woman's waist and hugged her steadily.
The woman lost her soul, blinked her smart eyes, and said, "Thank you, Childe." ”
This woman is none other than the second daughter of the Mo family, Mo Yunxiao's daughter-in-law Mo Yunxiang. And beside her was her own personal maid Danzhu.
But at this time, Danzhu and the cuckoo standing in the store both looked straight.
Zhao Mingcheng helped her up and saluted to apologize: "Girl, the danger just now is urgent, please don't blame the girl in the abrupt place." ”
Yun Xiang's cheeks turned red, he smiled, and said, "Childe is a frequent visitor to my house?" ”
"Your home?" Zhao Mingcheng was a little puzzled, and Danzhu on the side said: "This son probably doesn't know that my girl's name is Yunxiang, and she is the younger brother of the shopkeeper Mo Da Lady." ”
"Danzhu!" Mo Yunxiang said reproachfully, then glanced at Zhao Mingcheng again, his cheeks immediately turned red, and said: "The son saves the slave, the slave has nothing to repay, I just want to offer a cup of tea, I wonder if the son can appreciate it?" ”
"This ......" Zhao Mingcheng wanted to refuse, but seeing Mo Yunxiang smiling, he couldn't bear to refuse, plus she was Mo Yunxiao's female brother, so he could inquire more, so he responded: "And listen to the girl's orders." ”
