After grasping Gu Yun's vitality, the other party really stopped in his tracks.
His eyes were full of vigilance and doubt.
"You want to cooperate with me in Jingzhou City, and you won't hesitate to go to the capital to block me?"
Gu Yun was indeed an independent woman in business, and she quickly noticed the subtle changes.
Mi Xiayao, who had just tried to discuss business cooperation with Gu Yun, could pull off an eggplant like frost with the naked eye at this moment.
Gu Yun's eyebrows twitched and he subconsciously took a step back.
She took out her handkerchief and pressed away the non-existent tears in her eyes.
"My cooperation with you is not in Jingzhou City, and I don't have to go back there now.
"A month ago, I found out that my ex-husband was having an affair with a distant relative of mine. I immediately became angry and wanted to divorce him."
Speaking of this, Mi Xiayao sighed with genuine sadness.
"You and I are both women, so you can definitely understand my helplessness. My ex-husband is greedy for my dowry, and even tried to force me to pay for it with a divorce letter. Of course, I am not willing to just give away my hard-earned dowry.
"I immediately resorted to some small means..."
Mi Xiayao explained her experience in a tactful manner.
She didn't lie this time, and what she said was a little more sincere.
Gu Yun followed Mi Xiayao's words and his brows relaxed a little, but the caution in his eyes was still obvious.
Mi Xiayao had already been prepared in her heart.
She had no intention of impressing Gu Yun just by meeting him once.
"I have to survive after leaving the Duan family. The reason why I contacted you is that we are both women and it would be safer to support each other. Of course, if you are not willing to take risks in the capital, I am not willing to take risks in the capital.
Not forced.”
Mi Xiayao appropriately relaxed the tense atmosphere between the two of them.
Gu Yun kept her words in mind, but it was difficult to respond to her at the moment.
She was sensible, and when she saw that the other party was starting to think, she turned around and took Song Qiao away.
Gu Yun looked at Mi Xiayao's back, thinking about the experiences she just mentioned.
Suddenly good fortune is approaching, what little trick did Mi Xiayao just use?
It seems...she needs to get to know this woman well.
——
After Mi Xiayao left Gu Yun, she did not return to the small courtyard, but instead went to Yuelai Building, where the door was tightly closed.
There is a room in the backyard of Yuelai Building that belongs exclusively to Mi Xiayao. Even Song Qiao, who usually follows her, can only wait at the door.
On the desk in the room, information about several shops is spread out.
If you look carefully, you will find that the name at the beginning of this information is the name of the second master of the Mi family.
She observed it carefully, finally pulled out the information about one of the shops, and pressed the inkstone underneath.
By the time she walked out of the room again, a stick of incense had passed.
Song Qiao didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just followed Mi Xiayao, who was very purposeful, and was about to leave Yuelai Building, when a woman stood outside the building.
The woman was dressed like an ordinary person, with a vegetable basket on her elbow.
"Bodhisattva is a good person!" When the ordinary woman saw Mi Xiayao, her eyes lit up and she stepped forward cautiously.
The cold wind outside was freezing. Mi Xiayao saw that the woman's clothes were too thin for the cold winter, so she took the initiative to hand over the heater in her hand.
"What's the matter, ma'am?"
"I'm here to thank you, madam. If you hadn't asked someone to sell an extra piece that day, my son might not have been able to survive this cold winter. I'm here specifically to thank you this time."
As the woman spoke, she took out a large white radish.
"You're welcome, Madam." Mi Xiayao was a little surprised and surprised.
A white radish might be enough to save an ordinary person's meal, so Mi Xiayao declined the gift.
But the woman obviously really wanted to repay her kindness.
When she raised her eyes and looked around subconsciously, inspiration suddenly came to her, and she pressed the back of the big white radish the woman was holding.
"If you really want to thank me, I have a way."
"Say it!" Seeing this, the woman took back the white radish and actively agreed to Mi Xiayao's request.
Mi Xiayao looked at the woman dumbfounded, "Can you go to the liquor store at No. 32 East Lane and buy a jar of wine every day? I will pay for the wine. You only need to buy it once a day."
"It would be great if we could encourage everyone to buy it."
The last sentence was actually whispered by Mi Xiayao.
But the woman took these words to heart and agreed immediately.
If there were no Yuelailou selling the cheapest and most convenient ready-made clothes this winter, I really don’t know how many poor people would not be able to survive this cold winter.
A commoner's wife was one of them. She regarded Mi Xia Yao as a great benefactor.
"Don't worry! There are quite a few of us in the city. If we go shopping every day, we will definitely be able to buy all the wine from that wine shop!"
"I will ask my maid to send you the corresponding amount of silver every day."
After Mi Xiayao and the woman agreed on their actions, she chatted harmoniously with the woman for a few words and then parted ways.
In the days that followed, Mi Xiayao sent Song Qiao to Chengxiang Street to deliver money every day, while the woman encouraged her neighbors to go to the liquor store at No. 32 East Street to buy wine.
There were so many people buying it that people passing by thought it was something good, so they all joined in the fun and wanted to buy a jar.
Just when the East Street shop became popular for no apparent reason, Mr. Mi Erye from the Mi Mansion next door never let go of the proud smile on his lips.
According to Song Qiao's observation and conclusion, Mr. Mi's usually stern temper and scolding everyone when he saw him has been greatly improved these days.
Mi Xiayao chuckled softly when she heard this.
She picked up the glass of sake on hand and took a sip.
"The astringency and mellowness of the wine are short-lived, and there is no taste at all. My second uncle has been working hard as a shopkeeper until now."
What she drank was the sake bought from the liquor store at No. 32 East Street.
Song Qiao frowned. She didn't understand why Madam insisted on patronizing the business of the disgraced Mr. Mi Er.
"Let's pack up today and go out for a walk."
Mi Xiayao was rarely in an unusually good mood today. A glass of sake made her whole body feel warm.
When she and Song Qiao left the mansion together, the wet nurse who was putting the child to sleep in the next room heard the sound of the door closing.
He immediately picked up the child in his arms, pacing as if to coax the child, but in fact, he walked into the room where Mi Xiayao was...
Here, Mi Xiayao rarely wore a hat when going out. She and Song Qiao went straight to the teahouse with clear eyesight.
In the teahouse where people were coming and going, there was also the noisy sound of the storyteller clapping the table and screaming.
Mi Xiayao sat by the window. Not long after, she saw a man in private blue round-neck robe lifting up his clothes and sitting down.
"The sun rises from the west? You even took the initiative to ask me out."
Pei Xingyuan raised his beautiful eyebrows and stared at the delicate face behind the bamboo hat with a faint smile in his red phoenix eyes.
