Red makeup against the world

Chapter 778 Lamb Soup

There is still a distance from here to Luoshui Wharf.Wang Leyu came out this time to settle personal grievances, and he neither brought guards nor rode a horse.

After thinking about it, he hired a sedan chair and carried him to the cotton workshop at Luoshui Wharf.

With his hands behind his back, Thaksin stepped into the workshop.

He has a good temperament and is in an official position. Even if he is not wearing an official robe, his calm demeanor makes people dare not stand in the way.Seeing him coming in, all the staff and servants thought he was an acquaintance of the boss.

Entering the yard, he saw many wooden works that he had never seen before.Some people are peeling cottonseed by hand, some are spinning and spinning, and some people are shaking the spinning wheel.

With just one glance, he saw Tu Manfen surrounded by people.

She was seriously explaining something to the people around her, and her pretty face had an expression he had never seen before, serious, firm, and full of confidence.

The nervousness and bewilderment that he could see through at a glance, can't be seen on Tu Manfen now.

Wang Leyu just looked at her from a distance, watching the crowd nodding around her, and then backed away.After a while, someone asked again.

Her maid brought tea to quench her thirst.She held the teacup in plain hands, her soft lips parted slightly, and she swallowed lightly, making Wang Leyu's mouth dry.

By coincidence, he just walked over.

Seeing the person coming, Tu Manfen was a little surprised, handed the teacup to Yinping, and bowed slightly: "The daughter of the people has seen the adults."

Mr. Ning went to the palace to teach the princess, and she couldn't be left alone in the workshop, so she came alone.With Yinping around, Mr. Ning sent her guards, and she was not afraid of the clear sky.

Just, why did he come here?Also, it looked like he was a little different.Maybe without those black-clothed guards, he didn't look so chill.

Looking at her, Wang Leyu smiled slightly, and asked, "Did Miss Tu forget? As I said, I want to treat you back."

Tu Manfen sneered in his heart, you said it, but we didn't agree.However, he is an official and she is a citizen, so she still can't fight him hard.

"I hope my lord will forgive me. The teacher is not here, so girls can't make decisions on their own." Tu Manfen replied without looking at him.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you." Wang Leyu said with a smile: "There is a place in the city that cooks good mutton soup. I'll take you there to try it. I owe you sir, and I'll make it up next time."

How can this person take it for granted?

Tu Manfen was annoyed, it's okay with you, I think it's very okay!
Wang Leyu watched her drooping eyelashes trembling, and found it very interesting.She was obviously very angry, but she was still so restrained.

This is the demeanor and upbringing of a real lady.Compared with her, Wang Miaoyan is just a vulgar thing!
Wang Leyu smiled slightly, and said: "Since the young lady has agreed, I will wait by the side, without hindering your busy work."

Tu Manfen couldn't bear it any longer, and stared at him with wide eyes, with disbelief in his eyes.When did she say that she agreed to him? This person is so self-righteous!
"Master Wang, please don't call Minnv Miss." After holding back for a long time, Tu Manfen could only choke out this sentence.As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she knew she would suffer.

Sure enough, Wang Leyu looked at her with interest, and said, "I haven't asked for advice yet, what do you think the lady should call her?"

Tu Manfen's face turned red, as if the name was wrong.

Call her Miss, she has obviously been married, and she is not a boudoir girl.Call Madam, she has reconciled now and has no husband's family.

Yin Ping reminded, "Miss, why don't you tell Master Wang your number."

She also saw that Mr. Wang was obviously interested in Miss.The previous two encounters were accidental, but this time he came here on a special trip, so it couldn't be because of Mr. Ning.

Before they got married, the sisters in the boudoir wrote poems. In order to avoid rumors of their boudoir names, everyone had a nickname, and she was no exception.

This idea is feasible, Tu Manfen said softly: "Master Wang, please call me layman Qingmei."

Wang Leyu clapped his hands and smiled, nodded and said, "Okay! This name is very good!"

After finishing speaking, he really didn't bother her anymore, and sat aside to wait peacefully.

But although he was indifferent, it was impossible for Tu Manfen to turn a blind eye to him.Someone served him tea, and when dealing with things, he always unconsciously glanced in his direction.

His inexplicable appearance made her wonder what his purpose for coming here was.

With him sitting there, Tu Manfen was also restless.He simply gave a few hasty instructions, told the steward that there was something to talk about tomorrow, and then walked towards him with a silver screen, "Master Wang, please."

Sitting in the mutton soup shop at the end of the alley, watching the blond Orchid greet the customers skillfully, Tu Manfen was in a trance.

This means that the shop's business is very good. If Wang Leyu didn't know the boss well, there wouldn't be a place for him.

The tables around are full of people, there are shopkeepers walking around the streets, Confucian scholars chatting and laughing, and bodyguards with swords on their backs...

There are steaming hot mutton soups on the tables, and there are constant voices of guests calling for the boss to add more dishes and collect money.In such a mildly cold late autumn, everyone is flushed and sweating profusely after eating.

Such a scene, bustling, noisy, and lively, made Tu Manzhen feel a little lost.

Their table was in the corner, and Wang Leyu thoughtfully let her and Yinping sit against the wall, avoiding the flow of people.

"What? But it's too noisy here, Lay Qingmei is not used to it?" Wang Leyu asked.

Tu Manfen shook his head, "It's pretty good, but I've never been here before."

She felt that her understanding of the world had deepened.Moreover, I feel that my actions at this time are bold and crazy.

If someone had told her a year ago that she would sit in the market with a man who had only met three times and drink mutton soup, she would have denounced him as a lunatic.

After taking a sip of the soup, the hot and delicious feeling spread from the tip of the tongue, dispelling the coolness from the fingertips.Her whole body warmed up, and a satisfied smile appeared involuntarily.

Watching her sip the soup, even in this place, her movements are still elegant and dignified.

Wang Leyu became more and more determined in his heart.Wang Miaoyan's goal has been achieved and can be left behind.Such a simple girl is his next target.

After sending Tu Manfen back home, Wang Leyu went back to the house to get a bundle, and went to the gambling house again.

This time Yinglei was not around, only Yingyu was sitting behind the desk, flipping through the newly sorted news.

"Master Yu," Wang Leyu cupped his hands, and then presented the burden. "This is evidence that Gu Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs accepted bribes from the crown prince to work for him."

Ying Yu took it and took out the evidence one by one.After reading it, he smiled and said, "Good job. It's a pity that Lei is not here, otherwise there will be rewards."

Distinct rewards and punishments are the principles that the shadow guards have always followed.

Wang Leyu cupped his hands and said: "I have something to ask, Master Wang Yu will tell you." This matter was only thought of after he met Tu Manfen.
