The beauty of the lady

Chapter 86 Ape Dung (4)
Looking at the two people who walked out, Chen Tianzhuo touched his chin and pondered: "Cousin?"

"Maybe it's the lady from the Duke's wife's family." Jing Yu said with a smile.

She had a shallow and gentle smile on her face. Wasn't that woman I met in the Begonia Garden of Ciyun Temple a few days ago?It's just that at that time I only saw a side face, but now that I see it, it really is a beauty.

I saw it twice in one day, I don't know if it is fate.

But for Zhou Mei, it was just normal. When she was in the company in her previous life, she didn't know how many times she saw people in the company every day, so there was no such thing as fate.

After seeing the spice shop, Zhou Mei prepared some more fragrance powders, and asked Xuan Qingrong to bring them back to the mansion for the old lady and Mrs. Guogong. Naturally, her family's spices were also brought back from the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang. It also contains lead, but it is better than Dayan Chao's. There are also some balms and the like, which Huatian also prepared. When she saw Xuan Qingrong, she seemed to like to paint on her forehead.

Back at the Pure Tea Hall, Xuan Qingrong was still sleeping, Zhou Mei couldn't help but admire, the children are really nice, they have nothing to worry about, just leisurely.

It seems that it's already halfway through the application time, and the little girl still doesn't wake up.

Walking to the side of the bed, he raised his hand to pat her cheek, and saw the little girl pursing her lips, turning over and wanting to continue sleeping.

At this time, the little girl's face was pink and tender, with a flush of moisture, and Zhou Mei suddenly stretched out her hand on a whim and pinched her delicate nose.

Not long after, the little girl opened her small mouth because of difficulty breathing, and raised her hand to pull Zhou Mei's hand away. She wanted to continue sleeping, but she felt difficulty breathing again.

"Ah——" Xuan Qingrong finally couldn't bear it anymore, sat up abruptly, and shouted irritably after throwing off the quilt.

"I finally woke up, I thought you were going to sleep until the moon was in the sky." Zhou Mei narrowed her beautiful eyes treacherously, and looked at her with a smile.

Xuan Qingrong was in a daze for a long time before she saw Zhou Mei clearly in front of her. She covered her face and lowered it to her bent knees.

"Cousin, I'm so sleepy." She said softly.

Zhou Mei's ears were itchy when she was irritated by the soft voice, she raised her hand and rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Get up, it's almost night, don't you want to take me to the street? ? Your elder brother is here too."

"Oh, I'll get up now."

Only then did Zhou Mei stand up, and went out to call her close maid, Ru Jin, to help Xuan Qingrong change her clothes.

"Cousin is also 21 this year. It stands to reason that he should get married." Zhou Mei walked to the soft chair and sat down, taking the tea he handed over.

Xuan Shaoling sighed in his heart, he really didn't like people asking him this question.

"Mother has already made arrangements at home, it won't be too long."

Holding the teacup, she looked at the emerald green tea leaves in the snow-white bone china cup. The complete veins were set against the light green tea, which appeared more intense. She murmured: "I have never attended anyone's wedding before."

So, he was the one offering her insight and interest?The corners of Xuan Shaoling's lips twitched, noncommittal.

"Isn't Chengbei Hou's mansion having a hard time right now?"

The abrupt sentence made Xuan Shaoling straighten his face.

"The Sun's family was ransacked, and the Hou's Mansion was also affected. It is indeed difficult." He pondered and said, "But it will improve soon."

"By marriage?"

"Well, Miss Zhao's family has already engaged. She is the eldest son of the Su family, the richest man in Jiangbei, and has business acumen."

Zhou Mei leaned on the back of the chair, tapped her chin with one hand, "Is she willing too?"

Although Jiangbei is said to be a wealthy place, compared with the extravagance and luxury of the capital, it is still a lot worse. Is the young lady of the Zhao family really willing to be married far away?

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with that Miss Zhao." Ever since my aunt passed away, Chengbei Hou's Mansion and their Duke's Mansion are no longer in-laws, if it wasn't for Zhao Chengyin who maintained the relationship , will really completely cut off contact.

"I heard from the elder brother that after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the aristocratic families that had been suppressed in central Beijing were relieved, but there were a few families that were suppressed openly and secretly, and the Chengbeihou's mansion was especially serious. Let’s not talk about the current situation of the Sun family, even without the support and assistance of the Sun family, the Chengbeihou Mansion has lost a lot of sources of income, and Zhao Xingyu is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so one can imagine the situation in the future.”

"That's what I said, but even if Sun Dianchen is still alive, the Zhao family will not stand by when they encounter a way to make money. Not to mention Sun, even her three children are all spending money like water. Zhao Xingyu is also getting more and more romantic as he gets older. A few years ago, I bought the top card of a tea house and spent 3000 taels, and the eldest lady of the Zhao family once competed with a vassal king and princess who came to Beijing for a Hetian jade hairpin, spending nearly a thousand taels. Such things can be compiled into story books, so once Sun Dianchen is finished, there will indeed be changes in the Hou's Mansion. It is said that more than half of Sun's dowry has also been copied, but the rest can still maintain the cost of the Hou's Mansion. It shows how rich it is, if you want my uncle to be a noble, you don't have to defeat the Zhao family, after all, who should get this hereditary title is completely the meaning of the above."

Zhou Mei nodded, she agreed with this sentence.

"But you don't have to worry too much, at least let the little uncle's legs recover first."

"I will." The defeat of the Zhao family is not over yet. Uncle's title must be taken back. She wants those people to live, all of them, and to live miserably.

"Brother, why are you here today?" Xuan Qingrong, dressed neatly, came out, saw her elder brother, and asked.

"After everything is done, I decided to take a short bath. I wanted to come over to find someone to drink tea, but I saw the two of you here."

"Cousin hasn't been to the night market yet, so we just want to go shopping at night before returning home. Cousin, what is this?" She asked curiously when she saw the brocade boxes Zhou Mei put on the table.

Zhou Mei opened the rosewood box, a burst of faint blue light refracted the broken sunset even more brilliantly.

"A set of hairstyles for you, do you like it?"

After finishing speaking, Xuan Qingrong hugged the box tightly, "I like it, I like it, thank you cousin, cousin is the best."

After that, he hurriedly hugged the box and turned into the dormitory.

Zhou Mei looked at her back, turned her head and met Xuan Shaoling's gaze, both of them had helplessness and connivance in their eyes.

"Nothing to do, let's play a few games."

"it is good!"

At night, on the streets of the downtown in the south of the city, a group of three people were sitting at a food stall, tasting the delicacies of the capital.

There are more than a dozen kinds of meals on the table in front of you, fried tofu, hot and sour soup, beef in sauce, gluttonous duck, and crystal steamed buns, each of which has its own unique flavor.
