Chapter 193 Dessert
s
"You little girls are quite courageous. Not everyone in this capital can open a shop."
The landlady's tone was slightly sharp, "Not everyone can open a shop in this capital."
Lu Xiaoyu didn't expect that the proprietress, who was so pleasant at first, would suddenly change her face. She couldn't help but take half a step back and frowned.
Lu Qingluan raised his hand and touched her back, raised his head and asked: "The boss lady can open it, why can't we sisters?"
Compared with Lu Xiaoyu and Li Runjie, she is indeed a child. She has not yet grown up, but her appearance is excellent. Her complexion is porcelain white, and her cuteness is even more pronounced.
Such a soft and mellow little girl was not weak at all. When she was sullen and cold to the landlady, Lu Xiaoyu actually saw a bit of the aura of a mistress in her.
The landlady was stared at by these crystal clear eyes, and she was a little panicked for a moment. She couldn't help but said angrily: "What can I tell you little girl? Call your adults."
Lu Xiaoyu glanced at Lu Sheige at the door, and saw that Xiao Si was looking at the room leisurely and not worried, and she became bolder.
"The adults in my family are very busy. There is no need to alarm the elders in the family for this small shop. We sisters don't need to worry about what kind of shop we want to open."
The landlady was being gored by two children one after another. She was very angry, but she couldn't really fall out.
After all, what she sells in her shop has nothing to do with her.
She could only shake off her sleeves, twist her waist and walk out, muttering as she walked: "I don't know where I came from, but I still want to open a shop in the capital. I think I will cry for a long time."
"you……"
Lu Xiaoyu still wanted to argue with the boss's wife, but Li Runjie grabbed her by the sleeve: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't argue with irrelevant people."
She grew up in a house, unlike the little fish Qingluan who was born in the countryside and was bold.
I could only change the subject softly: "It's getting late, let's go back first."
When the landlady said this, Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Qingluan's originally excited moods immediately dropped. Considering that they had the fourth girl from the Li family with them, they really couldn't stay out for too long.
"Then let's go back first." Lu Xiaoyu lowered his head, a little disappointed.
Lu Sheige then entered the door: "You guys go back first. I'll go back and ask the craftsmen to look at the house and see when the construction can start. Once the repairs are completed, it can be opened."
It's already the 26th, and the Chinese New Year is coming in four days. It's impossible to start construction. However, we have made an appointment now to start construction after the New Year. It will be just right to open when the spring flowers bloom.
"Then..." Lu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then pulled Li Runjie's hand: "Then let's go back first."
After getting on the carriage and seeing Lu Qingluan and the Lu family's mistress walking deeper into the street, Li Runjie realized what she was doing and asked, "Won't my little sister come with us?"
Lu Xiaoyu didn't think there was anything wrong and replied naturally: "My little sister has been following Xiaosi since she was a child, so don't worry about her."
Seeing Li Runjie's confused look, she explained: "The little girl was bought by Xiaosi. At that time, people in the village said that Qingluan was the child bride Xiaosi bought for herself. However, her parents didn't say anything.
Qingluan is very good-looking. If Qingluan grows up, I will be my fourth daughter-in-law, too."
Li Runjie's expression changed slightly, and she paused for a while before letting out a low "hmm".
The carriage went all the way to Lu's house. On the way, Li Runjie lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Lu Xiaoyu was angry with the landlady just now and was not in a high mood.
The two little sisters didn't even say a word all the way back to the house.
Over there, Lu Sheige led Lu Qingluan to a teahouse not far away.
There is a storyteller in this teahouse, and business is booming.
He went upstairs and found a private room. After the waiter served tea, Chunhua retreated to the door and waited, leaving only Lu Xiange and Lu Qingluan sitting inside.
"Fourth brother, that boss lady is so annoying." Lu Qingluan raised his hand to pour a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Lu Sige.
Lu Sheige took the tea cup and warmed it in his hands: "You said you were going to open a beauty shop, but you didn't say what you were going to sell. She thought you were going to sell rouge and gouache, so she naturally thought you were a rival. How could she be so nice to you?"
"But she can't fall out just because she wants to." Lu Qingluan poured herself a cup of hot tea and held it in her hands, "Besides, when we open the door to do business, we don't just do our own thing. Don't talk about what we did with her.
It’s different, even if it’s the same, can she still allow us to open a shop?”
Thinking of the voluptuous figure of the landlady, Lu Xiuge's eyes narrowed slightly: "Maybe it's really possible."
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital. Who knows who is behind each one? This landlady has a graceful figure and does not look like a good family. However, she can open a shop in this street. There must be someone behind her, so she dares to show off to a few young girls.
However, this is not necessarily the case. It is also possible that she was just relying on the fact that she was an old family member and saw that several young girls were young, so she said that to scare them.
Who knows.
"What should we do?" Lu Qingluan became a little worried after hearing this, "When we open the shop, she won't really cause trouble, right?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Lu Sheige smiled and pointed to the restaurant opposite, "Look at this teahouse and a restaurant as big as Jixianglou, Shopkeeper Li, can open in the capital, let alone a small shop."
"But the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with!"
Lu Qingluan is still a child after all, and this is the first shop where she and her third sister practice, so it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses.
"You are just a shop. It doesn't matter whether you open it or not."
Lu Xiangge raised his hand and took a piece of snack and handed it to Lu Qingluan's mouth, "Try it. The snacks in this teahouse are ordered from Jixianglou. I heard they are good."
Lu Qingluan immediately forgot his worries and opened his mouth to catch it. His bright red mouth tightened and his cheeks were bulging after eating.
Lu Xiangge listened to the conversation downstairs and waited for the storyteller to arrive. He sat aside and fed the food slowly, and soon finished half of the plate of snacks.
"What are we doing here?"
"Listen to a book and eat snacks."
"But you haven't eaten a piece."
"I'm not hungry, just eat."
Lu Qingluan looked at the other three plates of untouched snacks, hesitated for a moment, and gently tugged on Lu Sheige's sleeve: "Fourth brother, I also want to try something else."
Lu Sheige looked at the half-empty plate of snacks and was embarrassed for a moment. She was only paying attention to the noise downstairs, and she didn't realize that she only took one kind of snacks.
She handed the snack in her hand to Lu Qingluan's mouth and asked deliberately: "Do you still want to eat this piece?"
Lu Qingluan touched his belly, looked at the other three snacks on the plate that he had not tried yet, opened his mouth to take them, swallowed them whole, and explained: "I can actually eat some more, but I will only eat one piece of each of these three plates to try.
Taste it and take the rest back to my sisters and Xiaowu to taste."
Lu Xiuge wiped his hands and rubbed Lu Qingluan's little head: "You can eat it yourself, and we will ask the store to pack it when you leave."
It was not convenient for her and shopkeeper Li to talk at home, so she made an appointment at the teahouse, thinking that shopkeeper Li would be coming soon.
