Chapter 107 is torture
Love bought the shop that Zhao Yi'an helped choose, because this shop was originally a restaurant, and it didn't need to be renovated, but it could be opened with a new plaque.
The shop had a small house attached to it, so Love quit the wooden house on West Street and moved his family over.
There are three whole rooms in this small house, one for Love, one for Lantian and Yunuan, and an attic on the second floor of the shop in front, in order to facilitate the care of the shop, Am'aye proposed to live there, so the remaining one was arranged as a hall room, which could be used to meet guests.
There is a small open space in front of and behind the small house, Eminem said that vegetables can be planted, but Lantian clamored to plant flowers and plants, in short, it can be used. There is also a pavilion in the small courtyard where the family can relax.
Compared to the cramped wooden houses on West Street, the environment here is much better.
The family was satisfied.
The neighbors learned that they were going to move, and they all volunteered to help enthusiastically, Aunt Li's house next door had a wheelbarrow, and the large luggage was loaded on the car, Aunt Li, her eldest son and Aya pushed the wheelbarrow, and the rest of the luggage that could be moved was lifted and carried, and it was all neatly transported in one trip.
After the simple cleaning up, Eminem cut a few catties of meat at the meat stall next door, bought two jars of soju, and enthusiastically left the old neighbors for a housewarming meal.
Eminem, Aunt Wang and Yu Nuan worked in the kitchen for a while, making two tables of hot food, one table for men and one table for women.
After finishing the meal and sending the neighbors away, Eminem asked Lantian to accompany Love to rest, and she and Aya slowly cleaned up.
Love was indeed a little tired after most of the busy day, but she only got up after lying down and resting for less than half an hour.
Most of the embroidery to be made for Zhao Yi'an has not been completed, and they have been taken care of by Zhao Yi'an many times, and Luo Fu is not good at doing his best.
She stretched her waist for a long time, sat down in front of the embroidery frame, and as soon as she picked up the needle and thread, Yu Nuan came in and replied, "Miss, Zhao Gongzi is here." ”
As soon as he heard this, before Luo Fu could respond, Lan Tian, who was busy cleaning up on the side, was pleasantly surprised: "Zhao Gongzi is here?" Where is he? As he spoke, he craned his neck and looked out of the window.
Yu Nuan glanced at Lan Tian, covered her mouth, and replied: "How can a person like Zhao Gongzi come to the back house at will, he is now talking to Aya and Eminem in the shop in front." ”
Love got up and came to the shop, Zhao Yi'an was carefully teaching the experience of running the shop with Am'aye, he saw Love coming, the smile on his face grew, and he said slightly: "The girl is well." ”
Love politely replied and said, "We just moved here today, and there is a hall in the backyard, but we haven't had time to clean it up carefully, which is really rude." ”
Zhao Yi'an replied: "You're welcome, I also heard that you moved over, so I stopped by to take a look." ”
As he spoke, he looked around at the lower shop, then at Love, and asked, "When are you going to open?" ”
Love smiled and replied, "And we have to prepare for two days, about five or six days." ”
As she spoke, she presented the scroll in her hand and said to Zhao Yi'an: "All this is thanks to the help of Gongzi, this idea is not a tribute." ”
Zhao Yi'an was surprised at first, she glanced at Love, reached out to take the scroll, carefully unfolded it and frowned after only glancing at it: "This is too precious, Zhao really doesn't dare to take it." ”
He raised his eyes to look at Love, with a hint of trepidation in his eyes: "This kind of authentic work should have been collected by Ling Zun before his death, right?" ”
"Zhao hasn't helped much, so he really can't accept such a heavy gift."
So saying, he closed the scroll and held it back to Love.
Seeing this, Lantian on the side smiled "poof" and said to Zhao Yi'an: "This is the word written by our young lady herself, hehe, does Zhao Gongzi regard this word as a famous masterpiece?" ”
When Zhao Yi'an heard this, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly unfolded the scroll and looked at it carefully, and after a while, she raised her eyes to look at Love, and said in surprise: "Yan Gong's words are strong and atmospheric, and the girl's character is full of imitation, and she can copy Yan Gong's style and charm, this, this is simply too expressive." ”
"If it weren't for Lantian reminding, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to distinguish it even if I was careful to identify it."
Luo Fu smiled faintly: "Zhao Gongzi praised it." ”
Her face is like a hibiscus, with a rare bookish atmosphere for women, Tingting stands there curly, only smiling indifferently, it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
Fortunately, Zhao Yi'an is an extremely introverted person, he staggered his gaze after a moment of confusion, his eyes stared at the scroll in his hand again, and he praised from the bottom of his heart: "Wonderful!" It's really wonderful! ”
At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"The shop hasn't opened yet, who's going to come?" Eminem muttered, hurriedly opening the door.
"Does the cousin of the Luo family live here?"
He is a noble young man.
Eminem looked the other party up and down, and said with a puzzled face, "May I ask who you are?" ”
The boy clenched his fists and introduced himself: "Sima Rui from Sima Mansion below, I learned that my cousin of the Luo family moved here and came to visit at the order of my grandmother. ”
Love was standing not far away, and when she heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Eminem, "Let him in quickly, this is the old man." ”
Eminem opened the door, Sima Rui stepped into the house, saw Love, and smiled: "My cousin is really hard for me to find." ”
Zhao Yi'an, who was standing on the side, looked at Sima Rui a few times quietly, and then said goodbye: "Since the girl has a guest, then Zhao will leave first." ”
As he spoke, he raised the words in his hand slightly: "Thank you girl, Zhao likes it very much." ”
After Zhao Yi'an walked out of the house, Sima Rui glanced at his back and asked, "Who is this person?" ”
"Zhao Gongzi is a merchant in this capital, and my shop was only rented through his introduction." After a brief explanation, Love asked Sima Rui, "How do you know I'm here?" ”
Sima Rui replied: "It's a long story, in short, it took a lot of trouble to find out. ”
After greetings, Love invited Sima Rui to sit down, let Lantian serve tea, and asked: "I heard that General Sima was seriously injured, did you escort the general back to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries when you came back from the north this time?" General, how is he doing now? ”
Sima Rui nodded and said: "Indeed, as my cousin said, I only escorted my uncle back the day before yesterday, he was seriously injured, His Majesty has sent a doctor to treat him, although there is no worry about his life now, but I am afraid that he will be able to recover for a while." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Love and smiled bitterly: "It's rare that my cousin can still remember the people of the Sima family." ”
Love smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I'm ungrateful, after all, it was thanks to your Sima family that I was spared in the first place." ”
"No, no!" Sima Rui denied repeatedly.
He looked at Love and explained, "I know that you have always been unwilling to be a concubine of your eldest cousin, and it is torture to be a concubine with others. ”
