Xiangsheng prosperous

Chapter 42
The next day, just after dawn, Qiu Mo got up to wash and change clothes.Because she developed a new fragrance last night, she slept a bit late, and she felt a little tired after waking up this morning.In addition to private lessons later, Qiu Mo really felt a little migraine when he had to go to the branch of Pengyun Xiangpu in Dongshi to discuss new products with He Guanghexin in the afternoon.Before going out, she told Shuanghan to take the peppermint sesame oil she made herself to relieve dizziness, just in case.

Qiu Mo has been very busy all day long. After finalizing some details of the new branch with He Guang, she can finally take a breath and is going to go shopping with Shuanghan in East Chang'an, which is not usually a chance to come. city.

Chang'an East City is the gathering place for the dignitaries and meritorious class of the Tang Dynasty.The "Chang'an Chronicles" of later generations said: "There are 220 lines of goods and wealth in the city, with mansions on all sides, and rare treasures in all directions, all of which are accumulated." Although the number of people coming and going in the East Market is not as large as that in the West Market, there are dignitaries, dignitaries, scholars and scholars everywhere. In addition, most of the shops sell expensive rare toys, and there are many shops such as pen shops, printing houses, miscellaneous operas, and famous pipa players.

Shuanghan felt bored while shopping. Originally, she was full of yearning for Dongshi, thinking that this is a place where only officials and families come, and the things must be extraordinary.She didn't expect to find out after she actually went shopping that this East Market was an existence that she could not afford to afford.Any face cream is several times higher than the price in the West Market. Isn't it just a porcelain bottle with flowers, birds, fish and insects painted on it? This is too bluffing.

Qiu Mo walked around, but she didn't see any impatience at all.Although she didn't buy anything, she mostly observed the people coming and going around her to analyze and judge their needs and preferences for fragrances.

Just when the two of them passed a street corner, Qiu Mo suddenly heard a woman's voice calling for help.She followed the sound and saw a woman dressed as a maid, helping a middle-aged lady with a pale face and sweat on her forehead to slowly sit down on a stone step by the wall to rest.Although this noble lady is plainly dressed, she has clear eyebrows and a dignified and elegant demeanor. She is obviously not a female relative of an ordinary family.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiu Mo immediately stepped in front of the two ladies, knelt down and asked the maid, "What's the matter? What's wrong with this lady?"

The maid hurriedly replied: "My mistress often suffers from syncope. Maybe she was too impatient to walk a little bit earlier, and she suddenly fell into it. Normally, I just need to drink a few sips of sugar water and rest for a while. I hope the lady will help take care of her." In a moment, the servant girl will come to get some sweet soup from the master mother."

Qiu Mo frowned upon hearing this.When she was sprinting in physical education class in her previous life, she also fainted because of a sudden drop in blood sugar.She hurriedly asked Shuanghan to take out the peppermint sesame oil that she carried with her today, and quickly put it on the temples, the center of the lady's head, and the tiger's mouth, and then said to the maid while helping her pinch the tiger's mouth: "You go, the sooner the better, we are here to help watch."

The maid gave Qiu Mofu a grateful salute: "Thank you, lady."

He hurriedly turned around and ran out to find the syrup.

Qiu Mo sat beside the lady, let her head rest on her shoulder, and asked Shuanghan to knead the tiger's mouth of the lady's other hand to relieve the uncomfortable feeling caused by dizziness.

Just when the lady was able to open her eyes slightly, the servant girl rushed over with a bottle and led a group of servants with shoulders on their shoulders.After rushing over, she immediately fed the woman the sweet water in the bottle, and then sat in front of the woman, constantly fanning her with a champagne, slowly waiting for the woman to recover.

The woman's face finally turned red, and her mind was not so heavy.She opened her eyes completely, and saw Qiu Mo and Shuang Han holding her arms, one left and one right, and her head rested on Qiu Mo's shoulder.

She nodded weakly at Qiu Mo, then reached out to the maid standing in front of her.After the maidservants and servants helped her sit on the shoulder chair, the lady turned around and said to Qiu Mo, "Thank you for saving me today, madam."

Seeing that the lady woke up and still had the strength to thank her, Qiu Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.She gave half a salute to the lady, and then said: "You're welcome, it's a little effort." After speaking, she and Shuanghan turned to leave.

"Dare to ask the lady's name?" The lady hurriedly called out to Qiu Mo.

Qiu Mo paused and turned to look at her.

"My name is Qiu, and my first name is Mo."

The lady immediately showed a clear expression, smiled at her again, and said nothing more.The maidservant standing beside her solemnly crossed her hands to Qiu Mo on behalf of her master, then supported her shoulders and carried the mistress away with the servants.

Seeing this, Qiu Mo didn't think any more, just treated it as an accidental encounter, she turned her head and whispered to Shuanghan, "Let's go back."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

When Qiu Mo got home, she put this encounter behind her.Who knew that within a few days, the Qiu family received an unexpected invitation.

"Third lady," Shuanghan entered the room holding a post, and handed it to Qiu Mo with a smile, "Guess what it is?"

Qiu Mo didn't accept the post, she just lowered her head and wrote the types of spices that He Guang should prepare, and then said flatly: "Don't guess, just tell me what you have to say."

Shuanghan stuck out her tongue, she is a lady who really cherishes words more and more like gold, and she learned from Wen Sanlang.She put the post on Qiu Mo's table, and then opened it to show Qiu Mo: "This is an invitation letter from the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou. Their family is going to hold a banquet of Qushui Liushang tomorrow, and they invited Chang'an City Many famous ladies, rich and powerful men are going!"

Qiu Mo didn't stop writing, she didn't even raise her head and said, "Oh, what does that have to do with me?"

Shuanghan froze for a moment, then wailed bitterly: "Third lady, you should take a look at it anyway, the post clearly stated that the lady from the Qiu family was invited, so how could it be none of your business? As soon as the fifth lady found out the news , I immediately took my servants to the jewelry store and silk shop to buy clothes, you! You! How can you be so careless!"

Shuanghan really hates that iron can't be made into steel. Apart from making incense, her lady is really muddleheaded about other things!This is such a good opportunity to make friends with people in high society. Others are fighting for their heads to go to the banquet, but she is fine, but she looks like she has nothing to do with herself.

Qiu Mo finally stopped writing, and looked up at Shuanghan suspiciously: "Wait, you're talking about the governor of Bingzhou? General Li Shiji?"

"Yes!" Shuanghan recalled what the butler said when she first received the post, and replied.

Qiu Mo came back to her senses and nodded. Isn't General Li Wen Weixing's teacher?Could it be that the Li Mansion entrusted by Wen Sanlang invited her to this banquet?I'm afraid that just inviting her will embarrass her in the Qiu family, so I have no choice but to bring Qiu Li along.

Then he will definitely be there.

Thinking of this, Qiu Mo felt her heartbeat speed up inexplicably.But he couldn't help feeling that Wen Weixing's move was really unnecessary, and wished that she didn't just send a message to the servant, why bother to invite her to a banquet in Befu.Could it be that he wants to introduce his friends and relatives to her?

Seeing her staring at the post in front of her, Shuang Han didn't respond for a long time, but she never expected that a thousand thoughts had already passed through Qiu Mo's mind.She couldn't help shouting worriedly: "Lady, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to go? You can't let your temper do it this time. This is an invitation from the superior, and Sanfang will definitely not let you refuse it." .”

Qiu Mo shook her head, and pushed the post back to Shuanghan.

"I didn't say no, please help me prepare a suitable dress, and we will go to Li's mansion for a banquet on time tomorrow."

Shuanghan breathed a sigh of relief, and after a happy response, she was about to go find clothes.But Qiu Mo suddenly remembered something again, and said: "Shuanghan, you also pack up the latest batch of fragrances that I made before and haven't taken them to the Pengyun Fragrance Shop. I'll go over and pick some later. Make a door-to-door gift tomorrow."

: "Okay!" The girl replied again, and rushed out of the room in a hurry to prepare for tomorrow's trip.
