Shopkeeper Shen came to deliver some dishes to Tang Shiyue, put them down and left. Behind him, an ordinary-looking carriage came in very quietly.
Meng Yiqiu felt that he had been making stupid mistakes since he came to Qinzhou. Only then did he realize that the relationship between shopkeeper Shen and Tang Shiyue was far more than just a business cooperation. Looking at his familiar and informal manner, he put down The food just left, and there was no talk of staying for dinner. It was just family business.
He actually asked him about Tang Shiyue! I don’t know how he was laughing at him.
Meng Yiqiu approached the Tang family's gate angrily, and glanced around with lingering fear, fearing that someone would see him again and come to watch.
After looking at it a few times, he didn't find it, but he immediately saw the couplet on the door of Tang's house.
The first line is "Phoenix falls on the phoenix tree and the phoenix falls on the phoenix tree", and the second line is "Zhulianbibi combined with Zhubi".
The handwriting was strong and powerful, like the wandering clouds startling the dragon. Although it was not a font commonly used by the prince, he should not be mistaken. It was written by the prince himself.
The couplets written by the prince himself were not sealed or enshrined. They were just posted on the door. When the breeze blew, the corners of the paper would lift up and down. Those who saw them were frightened... The key is that the prince actually did it. Would he condescend to write a couplet to her? This shows that they must get along very well.
Meng Yiqiu took a long breath and glanced next to him again.
Next to it is a painting by Xu Wenqu, "Phoenix Traveling in the Nine Heavens". The painting is good and the calligraphy is good.
There is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon around this young lady, and she must not be underestimated.
Seeing that he was still not getting out of the car, A Guang turned around and asked, "Master?"
Meng Yiqiu quickly lifted up his clothes and jumped out of the carriage, and hurriedly entered the door, as if he were a thief, for fear that someone would see him: "Master Tang?"
Tang Shiyue looked up and said in surprise: "How come the Second Young Master has time to come here?"
Meng Yiqiu looked pitiful: "Today is the Lantern Festival. I am here alone. I am very lonely. I wonder if I can bother Mr. Tang for a moment?"
Tang Shiyue said: "If I can't say it, you just leave?"
Meng Yiqiu coughed and said, "Master Tang, I'm not that annoying, am I? I heard that Sheng Qi lived here for several days. You can tolerate his croaking, why can't I?" He was very aggrieved.
Okay, whatever.
Tang Shiyue waved his hand and went back to sit down. Meng Yiqiu achieved his goal and went in with a smile. He said with a smile: "I put on the clothes given by Master Tang, and they are indeed extraordinary."
Tang Shiyue said: "So what do you think?"
"Um?"
Tang Shiyue explained: "After you try it on and before you try it on, do you have any thoughts on business?"
Although she was still ordinary, Meng Yiqiu always felt... why did he always look stupid in front of her? He could never keep up with her thoughts.
Meng Yiqiu said: "What you said before is right. It is indeed light, warm, and elastic. It is comfortable to wear. There is no need to measure yourself. It will be suitable for the approximate size. Women who want to be slim should like it, and the elderly will like it. Covet it to be comfortable, while men like lightness. In short, it is exactly what you said..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps and Qing Weilai hurried over and said: "Master's wife, there is a letter from master."
Tang Shiyue was overjoyed: "Really?"
Qing Weilao nodded with a smile and presented the letter with both hands. Tang Shiyue opened the letter and looked at it carefully.
Huo Qijing always reported good news but not bad news. The letter did not mention a word about any dangers he had encountered while escorting the prince. He simply said that he had arrived at Anlan Pass, met Yan Shiwei, and was waiting by his side for the time being. Wait, the only thing he mentioned about her was to tell Qing Weilai to tell Tang Shiyue about this matter. He didn't say anything to her alone at all.
Although she knew that he was such a person, Tang Shiyue was still very unhappy and pouted.
Qing Weiluo quickly comforted her: "Master's wife, at least we know where the place is. If we have any food, we can take it over there."
"That's right!" Tang Shiyue thought so, so she folded up the letter as if by accident and put it into her purse: "Besides, if you insist on sending it, then I will just send something over there.
alright."
There was a look of duplicity on her face.
The young man smiled lightly and turned around: "Yes, Master."
As soon as he left, Tang Shiyue happily took out the letter and read it again.
Meng Yiqiu watched coldly from the side.
This little lady's face had always been calm and confident, but when she heard those words, her whole person instantly became alive and her eyes sparkled.
It suddenly reminded him of that time when his aunt came back to give her eldest sister a haircut gift as the guest of honor. She was not dressed luxuriously, but when she smiled, her bright eyes and white teeth truly filled the room with brilliance.
He was only ten years old at the time, and he didn't quite understand. He had an idea in his mind that he would marry a woman as good-looking as his aunt in the future.
When this little lady grows up, she will be so stunning.
Now the appearance has not yet blossomed, but the aura is impressive.
But that person called her "Master's Wife"? Who is this "Master"? It seems that when I return to Chang'an, I must find a chance to meet Sheng Qi.
While he was making up his mind, Tang Shiyue had already put away the letter again and coughed: "Where did we just talk?"
"Well," Meng Yiqiu continued in a personable manner: "I am saying that the sweater business is indeed very promising and will definitely make a lot of money in the future. Our two families should start it as soon as possible."
He glanced at her and said, "My embroiderers here should be able to arrive tomorrow. I will ask them to come over then and ask Master Tang for advice..."
"Wait!" Tang Shiyue said: "I asked you to invite experts to come, mainly to let you know what we can do in the future and how far we can go. Then we can negotiate the price. As for asking for advice or not, then
It will only happen after the price is negotiated and the deed is signed... There is no rush."
Meng Yiqiu: "..."
He could only say: "Master Tang is really selfless."
"Otherwise?" Tang Shiyue asked, "Does it mean that when the Meng family does business, they will give away their embroidery skills before seeing the money?"
Meng Yiqiu coughed lightly.
It seems that he is used to being treated favorably and is not even used to being treated normally. Tang Shiyue felt that this trend will not last long: "Meng Er Shao, is there anyone else who is in charge of the Meng family's business?"
Meng Yiqiu took a long breath: "Did I do something wrong?"
"Second Young Master, don't get me wrong," Tang Shiyue said with a fake smile: "Actually, I am not opposed to making full use of my appearance. I think that identity and appearance are all natural resources, and they don't need to be used in vain, as long as you grasp the 'degree' well."
.On this point, I have no differences with the Second Young Master. But..."
She paused for a moment: "But this method depends on the person. Now that I am a young woman waiting to be married, I am afraid of this method. I just want someone who can discuss business in a straight-forward manner. I will not do it just because I come to discuss business."
I don’t want to give any extra care or preferential treatment to good-looking people. I don’t like to talk about friendship, I only like to talk about money.”
She smiled slightly: "Second Young Master should understand what I mean, right?"
What could Meng Yiqiu say? No matter how itchy his teeth were, he could only say: "It was Meng who was rude. Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will never do it again."
There was the sound of footsteps outside, and Xia Yuhui came in: "My boss?"
Tang Shiyue compared to Meng Yiqiu: "This is the second young master of the Meng family in Qiantang."
Xia Yuhui was one-armed, and he just smiled and made a gesture of raising his hands: "Young master, please be polite. My surname is Xia, my given name is Mo, my courtesy name is Yuhui."
Meng Yiqiu stood up hurriedly and returned the salute: "Mr. Xia is polite."
Tang Shiyue said: "Mr. Xia helps me take care of my business. If you have anything to do in the future, you can contact him directly."
Meng Yiqiu's smile froze, and he became a little angry.
As for not giving him face? After all, he is also a dignified second young master of the Meng family. He lives in the capital from eighty to eight years old. What lady would not be kind to him? What does her attitude of avoiding him now mean?
Are you deliberately leaving him alone? (To be continued)
