Storytellers all over the capital began to dig up the life of Xiao Hou.
After praising his brilliant military exploits, everyone unanimously focused on discussing his appearance.
Although Su Jiaojiao was too busy with Jade Face Agar to go out and listen to books, she also heard some opinions from people who had always bought rouge and gouache.
"No matter how ugly they say it, you just don't believe it!" Su Nianyun laughed after hearing those rumors.
Seeing how relaxed Su Nianyun was, Su Jiaojiao felt confident, "Well, I'll wait for you to bring the real Xiao Hou to us so that we can see his true face in Lushan!"
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Su Nianyun cleaned herself up and said goodbye to Su Jiaojiao.
"The time is just right. I'm going to have lunch with Xiao Hou, who you value but doesn't know his true identity. By the way, I told him to go to Sujia Village to get together!"
"Go, go..."
Su Jiaojiao personally escorted Su Nianyun out and watched her get into the carriage before she returned to the shop.
Then he went back to the shop and picked up the rouge box to help Shi Zhenzhu. Outside, he said, "Boss, the boss of Peach Blossom Noodles is here!"
"The boss of Peach Blossom Noodles?" Su Jiaojiao was a little dazed at first, but then thought, "Fu Ming?"
She wiped her hands hurriedly and said, "Invite him in!"
After a while, the folding fan opened the curtain, and the handsome figure appeared in the jade-faced agar back hall.
"Master Fu?" Su Jiaojiao asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Looking at Miss Jiaojiao's surprised expression, it seems that I shouldn't be here?"
Su Ming swung his folding fan and gently fanned away the trace of pearl powder on her cheeks.
"Well..."
Su Jiaojiao had never been so close to a man before, so she hurriedly took a step back.
"Sorry," Fu Ming said, "you got something on your face!"
Su Jiaojiao hurriedly wiped her face with her sleeves, but her sleeves were actually stained with more pearl powder, and her face immediately gained a few white spots.
This time, Fu Ming did not approach her hastily. Instead, he looked around and then raised an exquisite bronze mirror in front of her.
Seeing the embarrassed look on her face, Su Jiaojiao immediately blushed with embarrassment, then hurriedly found a clean handkerchief to wipe her face clean.
By the time she wiped her face and tidied herself up, Shi Zhenzhu had already brought tea to them.
"Master Fu, have some tea!" Su Zhenzhu hurriedly asked him to sit down.
"I think it's better to forget it," Fu Ming shook his head, "I think Miss Pearl is still angry with me because of what happened last time, so I'd better go!"
"What happened last time?" Su Jiaojiao asked in surprise, "What happened last time? Why was I angry?"
Seeing Su Jiaojiao's confused expression, Fu Ming had obviously forgotten that he went to Sujia Village and verbally offended them.
"So you're not angry anymore?"
"Well, it's all over."
Because Su Jiaojiao had been too busy recently, she had long forgotten what he had looked down on that day. Even if he reminded her, she didn't care much about it now.
Hadn't she already lost her temper with him then, so what's the point of remembering it now?
"So that's not what happened..." Fu Ming said, "I don't know where else I have provoked a girl. Why do you seem to dislike me?"
"I...don't welcome you, right?" Su Jiaojiao said blankly, "Are you mistaken?"
"You just saw me, and it's obvious that I wasn't very welcoming."
Fu Ming imitated Su Jiaojiao's expression just now, "You said, 'Why are you here?'"
"Master Fu, your imagination is too rich."
Su Jiaojiao was a bit dumbfounded by his imitation, "I want to make it clear that I didn't welcome you just now, but I was surprised that you came. There is a difference between these two expressions."
"Isn't it the same?" Fu Ming was quite resentful.
"Master Fu, if you have something to do, just tell me. If you have nothing to do, please leave. I'm very busy today and I don't have time to comfort your fragile heart here."
"Whose heart are you talking about?" Fu Ming said, "The fact that you are so anxious to drive me away is evidence that you don't welcome me."
"Oh my God!" Su Jiaojiao slapped her forehead, "Last time in Sujia Village, I must have offended you, not you who offended me!"
She has been in business for more than a year. Although she understands some things in the business world, her essential character has always been upright and straightforward in the Su family.
Seeing that Fu Ming was difficult to deal with, she held back too much patience and said, "Fu Ming, let me explain to you carefully. The reason why I was surprised just now is because Ayun just left."
"Ayun went to meet Xiao Hou for lunch. Didn't he always go to your Jinming Tower? You three are good friends and you always gather at Jinming Tower, so I was just curious as to why you weren't there with me today."
"Hey, little girl, you don't understand this."
Fu Ming explained, "In the past, the three of us were friends. We could get together like this and I would accompany them."
"But things are different now. We are an unmarried couple. They made an appointment to have lunch. If I were to be caught in the middle again, I would be a bit ignorant!"
"Furthermore, I am not the only restaurant in Beijing. They are not meeting at my Jinming Restaurant today."
By this time, Su Jiaojiao couldn't listen anymore, "Okay, anyway, I made it clear."
"If you have something to say, just say it quickly. If you have nothing to say, just leave quickly. I'm really busy."
"Girl Jiaojiao, if nothing happens to me, why would I come to your place?"
Su Jiaojiao finally sat down and took a sip of tea to soothe her throat, "Well, Mr. Fu, if you want to say anything, just say it quickly!"
Her fiery personality really has no tricks when it comes to Fu Ming.
Fu Ming fanned her with a folding fan, "Miss Jiaojiao, you see your jade-faced agar-agar business is already so popular, can you give us some customers?"
"What?" Su Jiaojiao almost jumped up, "This was a fair competition as promised at the beginning. You guys can't compete with jade-faced agar, so you want us to give in?"
"Besides, this is opening the door for business, how do you want us to let it go?"
"Could it be that they are trying to mess up another woman's face and then falsely accuse us of something wrong?"
"Besides, I'm the boss, not the owner behind the scenes. Why don't you talk to Ayun about this kind of thing?"
