Chapter 98 is not as simple as a businessman
On the second day, Luo Fu was concentrating on embroidery in the house, and Lan Tian entered and said, "Miss, that Zhao Gongzi from the Zhen Embroidery Workshop is here and says he wants to see you." ”
Love stopped what she was doing, raised her eyes and asked, "Where are the others?" ”
"I'm waiting in the courtyard outside."
When Love heard this, she put down her needle and thread, got up and walked out of the house, and saw Zhao Yi'an standing in the courtyard.
He was dressed in a plain brocade robe, and the afternoon sun cast a dappled halo on him through the shadows of the trees, which made his figure more and more slender and slender.
When he saw Love's face, a smile appeared on his face, and he spoke first: "Come here rashly, don't disturb Miss Luo." ”
Luo Fu greeted him with a smile, looked at him and said, "Zhao Gongzi is polite, how did you find here?"
Zhao Yi'an replied: "Yesterday you told me that I lived in West Street, I came over and inquired in the market, so I came over. ”
The two met yesterday, causing him to be troubled by Sima Chao, and Luo Fu really couldn't help it.
She opened her mouth to apologize and said, "Yesterday's incident, I'm really sorry, that person is the eldest son of Sima Mansion, me and her."
Love was struggling with how to explain her relationship with Sima Chao to Zhao Yi'an, and Zhao Yi'an took over and said, "I know everything." ”
He was surprised to see Love, and explained: "Taifu only has a son and a daughter, I heard that when Taifu was killed, I once inquired about the news of the Luo family, and only heard that the son of the Luo family was unfortunately killed on the way to distribution, but I didn't hear about the girl. ”
After the Luo family was killed, the Sima family also secretly rescued her, which is impossible for ordinary people to know.
Love smiled and replied, "It's all gone." ”
Zhao Yi'an looked at Luo Fu and said, "It's right for you to leave Sima Chao's house, that Sima Chao is ambitious and not a lover that a woman can rely on." ”
His tone was like that of an elder, and his words were straightforward but sincere, and he really thought about her.
Love's heart warmed, and she replied: "Thank you Zhao Gongzi for mentioning it, I can understand these things now." ”
Zhao Yi'an nodded slightly, and said, "I came to look for you for something?" ”
She's so down, what can she do to help him?
Love looked at Zhao Yi'an in surprise, only to see him say slowly: "Three months later is my mother's 60th birthday, my mother's favorite embroidery in her life, although I have an embroidery workshop, but looking at Beijing, the embroidery can match the girl's but there is no one else." ”
"Therefore, I would like to ask the girl to embroider a pair of fine pieces for me and present them to my mother."
"Zhao Gongzi is filial piety, I promise you, I don't know what Ling Zun's preferences are on weekdays, flowers, birds, fish, or Bodhisattva immortals, these are what I am good at."
Zhao Yi'an thought for a moment and said with a smile: "My mother is old and likes to be lively, so I bother the girl to help me embroider a picture of two immortals and two immortals with her, okay?" ”
"Okay." Love agreed.
Zhao Yi'an slowly took out a purse from his sleeve pocket, held it in front of Love, and said naturally: "This is a deposit, and I will pay the balance after the finished product." ”
Looking at the drum head of this purse, there were twenty or thirty taels of silver in it, and Luo Fu hurriedly excused himself: "Even if Zhao Gongzi pays me an honorarium, I don't need so much." ”
This Zhao Gongzi is not the master of the money, the embroidery to give to his mother naturally has to be the top, such a thing will take at least a month or two to complete, the family is also counting on selling embroidery to live, although Zhao Yi'an has some relationship with his father, but Luo Fu's down-and-out situation, it is impossible to generously give him such time-consuming and laborious embroidery.
She could receive the reward, but she didn't want to take advantage of him.
She said: "I embroidered it in two months, and I received a reward of five taels of silver from my son." ”
Zhao Yi'an replied: "The girl is calculated according to the price of the embroidery products sold to me in the Zhen Embroidery Workshop, right?" ”
"It's just that the things you buy for the Zhen Embroidery Workshop are to earn more than seven price differences, and I am giving it to my mother as a birthday gift, if it is also according to the price of those embroidery products received, it will inevitably seem that the filial piety to the mother is not enough."
As he spoke, he shoved his purse into Love's hand, "You can keep these." ”
Love frowned slightly, and postponed, "However, there are too many of these. ”
She looked at Zhao Yi'an and said, "I know that my son is embarrassed and has the heart to help me, but you are like this, but it makes me feel sorry." ”
Zhao Yi'an did not deny Love's words, he only said slowly: "If the girl is unhappy, then help me complete this embroidery, I lost my father since I was a child, and my mother raised me with hard work It is not easy, I can make her happy, and the girl can be regarded as a piece of my filial piety." ”
With all that said, Love couldn't say anything more.
She nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Childe, my embroidery will definitely satisfy Ling Zun." ”
"In this way, there is Miss Lao." Zhao Yi'an bowed slightly to Love.
In Sima Mansion, Sima Chao listened to the wind's reply, and his face sank.
Yesterday, Sima Chao saw Luo Fu talking to Zhao Yi'an in the Zhen Embroidery Workshop, he was very troubled, and when he returned, he explained that he ordered someone to check the details of Zhao Yi'an, and heard that Zhao Yi'an went to West Street to find Luo Fu today, and Sima Chao even overturned the vinegar jar.
"That is called Zhao Yi'an, have you found it?" Sima Chao had a gloomy face and asked Yingfeng.
Yingfeng replied: "I found out, this person is from Shuzhong, a wealthy businessman, and has a lot of industry in the capital." ”
When Sima Chao heard this, he snorted coldly: "Hmph! The merchant is treacherous! If you look at it, you're not a good person. ”
Yingfeng said again: "The little one also found out that this person seems to have some relationship with the eldest princess of Huarong, he has done a lot of business in Beijing, and behind him is the eldest princess who supports him." ”
The eldest princess of Huayang is the eldest sister of His Majesty, and His Majesty ascended the throne at a young age, and it is this eldest sister who is the auxiliary government, and now, this princess has a great influence in the court.
Sima Chao frowned when he heard this, and explained: "Go and check again, this Zhao Yi'an, I always feel that he is not as simple as a businessman." ”
After leaving in the wind, Sima Chao sat alone in the study, but his heart was very chaotic.
The picture of Love talking with Zhao Yi'an appeared in his mind from time to time, disturbing him from not having the heart to do political affairs.
The war in the north was tight, and his father had already sent three urgent letters ordering him to go to the front, but Sima Chao still delayed again and again.
He still can't let go of Love.
"This woman is really difficult!" Sima Chao angrily threw the teacup.
Although he repeatedly warned himself in his heart to put the overall situation first and not be bound by the personal feelings of his children, he still left Sima's Mansion uncontrollably and went straight to West Street across the horse.
