There was a knock on the door, and Qin Mian, who was near the window, turned around and shouted: "Come in!"
Yuan Gang pushed open the door and entered, and the eyes of the two women standing and sitting in the room were focused on him.
Yuan Gang glanced at Qin Mian and landed on Su Zhao's face. He stared at Su Zhao as he walked over and stood in front of Su Zhao.
Feeling oppressed by being looked at in such a condescending manner, Su Zhao slowly got up and stood up.
Due to the height difference, Su Zhao had to raise his head slightly to look at her, and their eyes met.
There was a smile in Su Zhao's eyes.
Yuan Gang's eyes are like the sea of stars, not for sex, not for the pleasure of women, they are deep and magnanimous.
Looking into these eyes, Su Zhao couldn't help but smile. She seemed to clearly feel the masculine aura exuding from the other person's body.
Earlier on the flower boat, there was no big distance between them, but now standing together at close range, whether it was Yuan Gang's oppressive strong body, his magnanimous eyes, or the masculine aura that made females submissive, Su Zhao felt everything.
Clearly.
Standing with Yuan Gang, Su Zhao discovered that the gender distinction was so obvious. It was the first time that she realized so clearly that she was a woman and the other person was a man, a real man!
This feeling was so strong that it made her a little flustered, her bright eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at him again.
She was able to call Yuan Gang here, and she had a sense of superiority in her heart. At this moment, she realized that this ordinary person's magnanimity and fearlessness were enough to overwhelm all sense of superiority. It could be seen from the way people looked at her that he was not at all as superior as she thought.
Take it seriously.
"The girl is the boss's wife in Baiyunjian, her name is Su Zhao?" Yuan Gang asked fearlessly.
Suddenly facing a man who gave people such strong feelings, Su Zhao felt a little at a loss inside. He quickly looked away, trying to remain calm on the outside. He turned slightly sideways to avoid looking at him, and said calmly: "It's me.
!”
Yuan Gang: "Boss Su is not satisfied with the tofu in our store?"
Su Zhao: "It's okay."
Yuan Gang: "Then why do you come to me again and again?"
Su Zhao was confused, why did he feel like he had become a prisoner being interrogated, why was he afraid of him, so he turned around and faced him again, "Last time, Boss An protected my maid, but he didn't have time to thank him, so of course it's
You should express your gratitude in person."
Yuan Gang: "It's a simple task, no need to be polite."
Su Zhao said with a smile: "It's not a piece of cake. I witnessed with my own eyes that Boss An received many whips in order to protect my maid."
Yuan Gang stared straight at her face and asked: "How do you want to thank me?"
Su Zhao felt uncomfortable looking at him, as if he wanted to look at his face and write it down. He felt a little angry and wanted to poke his eyes out with two fingers. Is there anyone who looks at people like this?
Qin Mian on the side smiled and said: "Boss An, is it appropriate for you to stare at a girl's house like this?"
Yuan Gang slowly turned his head to look at her and replied, "She looks good, I want to see more of her!"
"..." Qin Mian was choked up and speechless by these words. She found that this person was very real and did not mince words at all. She said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "No matter how beautiful she is, you can't look like this. What girl can't bear it?"
Come on?"
Yuan Gang turned back to stare at Su Zhao and asked directly: "Can't you see it?"
"..." Su Zhao was speechless and changed the subject, "What kind of thanks do you want?"
Yuan Gang: "You really want to thank me?"
"Of course!" Su Zhao nodded, "As long as it's within my ability."
Yuan Gang: "Baiyunjian is very famous in the capital, but I haven't seen it before."
"Uh..." Su Zhao had a complicated expression on his face and looked at him up and down, "Boss An also wants to see the enthusiasm of the girl from Baiyunjian?"
Yuan Gang: "I have seen the enthusiasm of the girl in the white clouds."
Su Zhao and Qin Mian looked at each other. Qin Mian stepped forward and asked, "Boss An, have you been to our White Cloud Room?"
She wondered in her heart, why didn't she know that this person had been to Baiyunjian? Could it be that he had been there before?
Yuan Gang: "No."
Qin Mian was even more surprised, "How can you say you have experienced it if you haven't been there?"
Yuan Gang stared at Su Zhao, "Isn't Boss Su the girl from the white clouds? Boss Su comes to me again and again, and I have seen his enthusiasm."
The two girls suddenly realized that this was what they were referring to. It turned out that they had some bad intentions and thought about the matter between men and women.
If anyone else had said this, the two girls would probably be angry, because saying that Su Zhao is also a girl from Baiyunjian is like saying that Su Zhao and other girls from Baiyunjian are all for sale, but these words came from Yuan Gang's mouth
When they came out, the two of them felt no humiliation.
If nothing else, they saw with their own eyes that Yuan Gang was beaten for standing up for a brothel maid.
Qin Mian: "Boss An, you want to visit us among the white clouds?"
Yuan Gang: "Yes! Is it okay?"
Su Zhao smiled and said, "Welcome to you. Boss An is always welcome if he wants to go."
Yuan Gang: "I know I can go at any time. I mean, it doesn't cost anything, just go and see."
"Pfft!" Qin Mian couldn't help but cover her face and suppress her laughter.
Su Zhao couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I know what you mean. I didn't say you were going to find a girl. I know you just want to see it. There's no need to emphasize it. When I say you're welcome at any time, I mean you're welcome to go to Baiyunjian at any time.
have a look."
Yuan Gang's eyes fell on the bowl on the table and asked: "Has Boss Su finished eating?"
Su Zhao said: "So what if you eat well, what if you don't eat well?"
Yuan Gang stepped aside to make way, extended his hand to greet him and said, "You can leave after you've eaten."
Su Zhao chuckled and said, "Boss An, are you expelling the guest now?" After saying that, he lightly swept his sleeves and sat down slowly, with a look like "I spent money, can you still drive me away?"
Yuan Gang: "I mean to go to Baiyunjian. Didn't you say you can go at any time?"
"..." Qin and Su were speechless again. This time they finally understood. They could just follow this person's words literally. Thinking too much would be misleading themselves.
As the saying goes, cleverness can lead to mistakes!
"Now?" Su Zhao asked back.
Yuan Gang: "If you still want to sit down, you can sit down first. If you need anything, you can go directly to the shopkeeper Gao." After that, he turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Su Zhao stood up, "I keep my word. Shopkeeper An, please invite me!"
The three of them quickly walked out of the door, and within a few steps of leaving the shop, they boarded the flower boat on the lakeside.
The ship set off, and Su Zhao, who had entered the cabin, took off the gauze veil that covered her face. Qin Mian personally served tea to the guests.
Yuan Gang walked around the cabin to check, and occasionally tapped his fingers to listen to the sound.
Su Zhao, who was sitting next to him, followed him around for a while and asked, "What is Boss An looking at?"
"The furnishings are exquisite, and a boat is better than our shop." Yuan Gang replied, walked back, sat down aside, looked at Su Zhao, and asked again: "I have heard some things about Boss Su.
"
Su Zhao smiled: "In which way?"
Yuan Gang: "Your relationship with the King of Xiyuan, it is said that you are his woman."
There was silence in the cabin, and Qin Mian was really speechless. She naturally knew about the rumors about this outside, but this was the first time someone asked about it in front of Su Zhao.
Su Zhao lowered his eyelids, slowly took the tea cup in his hand, and said with a half-smile, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Yuan Gang: "It does matter."
Su Zhao raised his eyes, a little confused.
Yuan Gang explained: "If the rumors are true, will the King of Xiyuan misunderstand if we get along like this? I can't afford to offend him."
Su Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "Since it's a rumor, do you believe it?"
Yuan Gang: "I'm asking you just because I don't know."
Su Zhao: "You are overthinking. Don't worry, he won't misunderstand."
When he said this, his tone was cold, his eyelids drooped again, and he didn't raise them for a long time. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his mood and interest seemed not to be that high.
Then the cabin became quiet, and only the sound of the oars could be heard.
At dusk, the boat docked at the water pavilion and arrived behind the white clouds.
When several people got off the boat, Yuan Gang looked back at the waterway, "Boss Su, every time he travels so far, just for a bowl of tofu?"
Su Zhao: "No way?"
Yuan Gang: "As far as I know, the sales point we set up is not far from Baiyunjian. Why choose something far away?"
Su Zhao: "I know, but there are people coming and going on the street, the barrels are there, street vendors and goons are watching, it's noisy and chaotic, and there's even spit flying around. Do you think it's clean?"
"That's it." Yuan Gang nodded slightly, walked into the quiet courtyard inside, and looked around, "It's a great place, can I visit?"
"Please!" Su Zhao extended his hand to invite him and personally accompanied him on the tour.
In front of the romantic land, there are already bright lights. Birds, warblers and swallows are dressed in light clothes and in various poses. Not only are they flirting with the guests, but there are also unscrupulous people hugging and playing, and there are wealthy people throwing out handfuls of money, causing trouble.
The flowers are cheering and cheering, and the smell of powder is disordered.
The unpleasant sound came, and Yuan Gang looked back at the closed door, then leaned on the railing and looked at the cheering place downstairs.
He seemed to prefer a quiet place, and after looking at the front, he came to visit the back.
However, there were some places that he was not allowed to enter. At the entrance of a small courtyard, Qin Mian reached out and stopped him, "Boss An, this is a private place for women. Men are not allowed to go there."
However, after walking through, there was a turbulent "gurgling" sound in the yard. Yuan Gang slightly squinted his eyes and continued to move forward calmly.
Su Zhao walked away with Yuan Gang, but Qin Mian stayed, turned around and walked into the yard, stretched out his hand to call someone over, and asked, "What's going on?"
The man said: "I don't know what happened, but all the golden wings in the cage suddenly became restless."
Qin Mian followed him to see what happened...
"Master Tao, we sent you tofu from outside."
Black Mudan walked in with a bowl and reminded Niu Youdao, who was lying on a chair and taking a nap.
Niu Youdao stood up and came over. Black Peony opened the lid of the bowl. Seeing that there was nothing under the lid, he took a spoon and stirred it in the bowl, and picked out a small oilcloth bag.
The oilcloth bag was opened, and there were two pieces of paper inside. One was larger, which was the map of the entire Baiyunjian.
Niu Youdao opened the map, looked at it, and clicked his tongue twice, "Monkey is very agile in his work. In a few days, he got detailed maps of the inside and outside of Baiyunjian."
