Now that the affairs in Qiongzhou have come to an end, Shen Yanqing has some time to spare, and even his subordinates rarely have time to spare.
Ever since Liang Duo met Shopkeeper Qin at Shen Dalang's wedding banquet, he has been thinking about it. As soon as he got it, his legs would not obey him and he ran to Jinxiu Pavilion.
Li Biao was a fool. When he saw Liang Duo walking out, he reached out and hugged him.
"Brother, you're not busy today. Come on, let's go have a drink?"
Madam Su now takes over the dessert shop and is so busy that she is usually too lazy to care about him. Although Li Biao does not dare to indulge, it is still okay to drink some wine on weekdays.
Liang Duo changed into new clothes today, his hair was neatly trimmed, and he also wore a newly bought jade crown. He looked decent, but with the elegance of a scholar, and the short beard growing around his mouth also made him look more elegant. Somewhat stable.
He slapped Li Biao's hand away and put his clothes in order, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"I still have something to do, so you can go drink with other brothers."
"Is something wrong? Brother, you are a single person, what can happen to you? You are not deliberately making excuses to refuse, are you?"
Li Biao was careless and didn't know what to say. Everything he said hurt Liang Duo's heart.
What's wrong with the bachelors? The bachelors have to go drinking with them?
Liang Duo was so angry that his face turned black. He took out his sleeves and waved his hands.
"The map of Qiongzhou hasn't been sorted out yet. You can draw it and hand it over to me tomorrow."
"No, isn't it a holiday today? Brother, why did you ask me to work again? Everyone told me not to be in a hurry..."
Li Biao wailed and was about to defend himself, but when he saw Liang Duo's serious face, he suppressed his words.
"Okay, I'll go paint."
Qiongzhou's terrain is rugged, and it will take him a long time to draw this map. He won't be able to drink enough wine today.
Watching Liang Duo walk away, Li Biao slapped himself twice in the face and told him to talk more. Why did he ask his eldest brother to drink?
Li Biao lowered his head and rushed to the study in frustration. On the other side, Mr. Liang, a bachelor, had already reached the door of Jinxiu Pavilion.
Shopkeeper Qin was leaning behind the counter, calculating accounts lazily.
Now Jinxiu Pavilion no longer needs her to be in charge. With Jiang Miao's supply, Jinxiu Pavilion has quickly become famous in the capital. The maids in the shop are smiling and welcoming the customers.
Liang Duo lowered his head and looked at his clothes. They were all decent, but it was a little strange for him, a grown man, to step into the embroidery workshop.
Liang Duo stood outside for a while, and before he could make up his mind whether to go in or not, he saw a man with a pale face and a weak body walking outside. His clothes were a little loose, and he was shaking a folding fan in his hand to show his flair.
This man is none other than Hou Shixian.
Liang Duo had seen him at a wedding banquet before, and naturally knew that he was the ungrateful ex-husband of Shopkeeper Qin. Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed across Liang Duo's eyes. Hou Shixian walked over proudly, and suddenly felt a chill on his body. He looked up, Then he saw Liang Duo with a murderous look on his face.
"Are you the adult next to Princess Rongning?"
Hou Shixian remembered him and came over to say hello with a flattering look on his face. Liang Duo glanced at him and said nothing.
If this person has any sense, he should leave immediately and stop being such an eyesore.
It's a pity that Hou Shixian is not born to read people's faces. Anyway, the people around Shen Yanqing are the same as him, usually with a cold face. Although Hou Shixian is timid in his heart, it is rare to see noble people, so he forcibly suppresses the fear in his heart and steps forward to continue. Please.
"Master Liang, do you want to buy embroidery fragrant beads? To tell you the truth, this Jinxiu Pavilion is owned by my wife. If you like it, I will give it to you."
He kept telling lies, thinking that Liang Duo didn't know that he and shopkeeper Qin had reconciled, and that the Hou family had nothing to give as gifts, so he would use the things from Jinxiu Pavilion to be a good person.
Anyway, Hui Xin's is his. As long as he can get along with the nobles and make the Hou family prosperous again, Hui Xin won't come back obediently.
Hou Shixian's abacus was good, but he didn't expect that the eyes of Liang Duo opposite him were ignited with anger, and his hands itched when he saw his villainous face.
"Oh? Your wife? Why did I hear that Shopkeeper Qin had already reconciled with the Hou family?"
"This...isn't this Hui Xin having a temper tantrum with the little one? Their women just have a lot of tempers, so the little one can just coax her away. Mr. Liang, just go get something. Hui Xin has a little one talking about her."
Hou Shixian's face stiffened for a moment when he was exposed, but soon changed to a flattering expression.
Liang Duo sneered, ignored him, passed Hou Shixian and entered the Jinxiu Pavilion.
From the corner of his eye, shopkeeper Qin saw a customer coming to the door, and he quickly raised his head to greet him with a smile.
But when she saw the person coming, the smile on her face froze.
Why is it him?
Shopkeeper Qin still remembered the way Liang Duo looked at her at the wedding banquet. She was not a young and ignorant young lady, so she naturally understood that the way Liang Duo looked at her was the way a man looked at a woman who pleased him.
Her heart was filled with emotions, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Master Liang, what do you want to buy? Our shop sells the best fragrance beads and jade cream in the purse. If you are giving it to a woman, why not buy a few fragrance beads? Rose and orchid flavors are both sold very well, take a look..."
Shopkeeper Qin brought him several boxes of fragrant beads from the cabinet. Liang Duo didn't take them, but stared at him and asked in a deep voice.
"What flavor do you like?"
!!!
Shopkeeper Qin suddenly turned red.
What does he mean?
"Everyone likes different things. Mr. Liang, it's best to give gifts according to the recipient's preferences."
Liang Duo leaned forward and got closer to her.
"If the person I want to send is..."
"What are you doing?"
Before he could finish his words, Hou Shixian broke in. He stared at the two of them closely, like a husband catching an adulterer.
"Why, I can't come in and buy something?"
Liang Duo sneered, straightened up, and exposed the fragrant beads on the counter.
Only then did Hou Shixian realize that he had been too excited just now.
Liang Duo is the noble person he wants to curry favor with, how can he easily offend him.
Moreover, Liang Duo is Shen Shoufu's capable subordinate. How could he fall in love with Qin Huixin, an old lady, if he doesn't have any kind of woman? Thinking of this, Hou Shixian's face calmed down.
"It's because I'm young and don't have eyesight. I thought she..."
He was too embarrassed to say what he said next, so he lightly slapped himself twice with a flattering look on his face.
"You have a lot of knowledge, don't be ignorant like me."
Hou Shixian quickly stepped forward, packed up the boxes of fragrant beads, and handed them to Liang Duo's hands.
"Master Liang, I will treat these fragrant beads as small ones to make amends to you. If you think of anything else in this shop that you like, take them away. I will give them to you as a filial piety."
Shopkeeper Qin's face turned blue when he saw him using the things in his shop to please others without any hesitation.
"Hou Shixian, do you want to be shameless? Jinxiu Pavilion is my shop, does it have anything to do with you?"
