Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 204 Compromise
Ruan Yu couldn't tell the reason behind it, but taught her how to use rouge, saying that with the addition of pearl powder, the young girl's face became more bright and radiant.

The ones for the Zhao sisters are different again, the color is a little lighter, the older ones don't need to be so colorful, but just cover up the wrinkles and make their skin fair, as if they have regained their youth.

When Du Xiaoyu delivered it to Zhao Dongzhi, she couldn't put it down, and exclaimed, "It's really a good craftsmanship, no wonder other rouge shops can't keep open."

Huang Xiaoying also laughed and said, "It's also the first time I've seen such a good Rouge. What's Miss Ruan like? My mother likes to talk to me all day long. Xiaoyu, come and tell me."

Du Xiaoyu hadn't seen Huang Xiaoying for a long time, and while Lin Qingzhen wasn't around, she stopped by to accompany her for two days, and the two sisters talked.

"Looks like a fairy in the sky, you will know when you see it. As for the craftsmanship, it turns out that she worshiped the woman surnamed Hua in the capital as her master. My aunt must know that it is the one Mrs. Feng said, and was summoned by the empress. of."

Zhao Dongzhi thought for a while before remembering, and was very surprised.

Huang Xiaoying was as puzzled as Du Xiaoyu, "She has such a master, but why doesn't she stay in the capital?"

"I don't understand either. Maybe everyone has their own ambitions."

Seeing that her daughter was accompanied by someone, Zhao Dongzhi said she was going to the restaurant. As soon as she left, Du Xiaoyu laughed, "Believe it or not, she must have gone to see Miss Ruan's aunt again."

Huang Xiaoying was very self-aware, she shook her head and said, "Miss Ruan is so outstanding, how can she like Li Shu? I don't think he can do it, a stupid boy."

"I said the same thing, but my mother said that maybe Miss Ruan's aunt would handle her life's affairs, so my aunt always thought about that. In fact, after I got along with Miss Ruan, she seemed to have her own ideas. I heard that This rouge shop is all facilitated by her, and you are also in charge of the paper horse shop, so you must know that everything should not be sloppy, which shows that she is a very thoughtful person."

Huang Xiaoying nodded, then sighed again, "My mother is stubborn, I can't persuade her, she will know when she hits a wall."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Du Xiaoyu walked a few steps in the shop, and saw that a few cabinets were quite empty, it turned out that the stock was almost sold out, so he was in a hurry to go to Tongcheng in the hot weather.

"Your business was very good some time ago?"

"There are three wealthy businessmen who have funerals at home. They bought a lot of things and burned them until May [-]th. After the [-]th day, they burned a lot of them, and they used up their stocks." The trip to Tongcheng has to be made earlier now," she frowned, "it won't be cold this day, and I don't know if the road will be hot..."

Worried was written all over her face, Du Xiaoyu blinked, "Do you miss your cousin?"

Huang Xiaoying was startled, her face slowly turned red, "What do you want or not?"

Afraid of embarrassing her, Du Xiaoyu didn't say anything, and asked, "Where's Sister Meizhen?"

"At home, I'll probably be here soon." She smiled, "As soon as Xianggong and brother-in-law leave, Mother and Aunt Wu will come. Meizhen and I are not busy at all."

"That's the good fortune of both of you." One has a mother who loves her, and the other has a super good mother-in-law, and no one else can envy her.

Du Xiaoyu lived there for three days before coming back. There was a heavy rainstorm last night, and the weather started to turn cloudy, with a tendency to cool down.

But he said that Li Yuanqing didn't come to Du's house recently, whenever he was free, he went to accompany the old lady of Lin's family, made her very happy, and praised his grandson for his filial piety.

This day, Li Yuanqing specially invited the Yuyi troupe to sing for the old lady, and he also accompanied him to listen.

The Yuyi troupe performed two big plays, and it took a whole afternoon. The old lady listened with great interest. One play happened to be about the righteous deeds of the county magistrate. The story of winning the hearts of the people and being rewarded by the Holy One.

The old lady looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile, as if he was the one in the play.

Seeing this, Lin laughed, "Jian Yuanqing will definitely have such a bright future."

"Of course, my grandson is so outstanding. He was a Jinshi a year earlier than the county magistrate in the play! He has also studied in the Imperial Academy. How many people can compare with him?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "It's also good that my grandmother taught me."

"When did I teach you that you are talented and intelligent to have such a good opportunity!"

Li Yuanqing shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say, if I grew up in the capital, my aunt..." He smiled wryly twice, "Grandmother also knows that she and my mother are incompatible, so why would you allow me to surpass my two elder brothers?"

The old lady frowned. What a smart person she is. After the master of the Lin family passed away a few years ago, so everyone's business was under her control, and they handled it in an orderly manner. What kind of words would they not understand?
He was speaking for the Du family!It turned out that this scene was just paving the way for this moment!

She remembered that Mrs. Feng also came here a few days ago. When talking about the Du family, she always praised the couple for their honesty and reliability, and how difficult it was when they were kicked out by the family.

But in fact, Li Yuanqing was raised so well, he couldn't tell at all that he was a child from a farm family. It could be seen that he hadn't suffered much since he was a child.

These arrangements must have been facilitated by this grandson. In his heart, the position of the Du family is unbreakable!But he never said it clearly, but followed her wishes, spending time with her grandmother, and satisfying her in everything, he was really trying to please her.

The old lady had mixed feelings in her heart. Looking at Li Yuanqing, who was handsome and sincere, and even pleading, she finally let out a heavy sigh.

After all, she still didn't want to have any conflicts with him.

Just as I am proud of, this grandson is too smart, so smart that he can live a wonderful life without relying on the strength of their Lin family, and her grandmother, who has only had a friendship with him for more than three years, how deep can it be?If you don't maintain it well, I'm afraid there is a danger of breaking it if you pull it.

But if she showed a sympathetic gesture at this time, he would be grateful to her, and his affection for them would be good. As for the Du family, if they were really greedy, they would show their true colors one day!There is no substantive evidence yet, so we can only tolerate it for the time being.

"You should go and see them when you have time. After all, there are more than ten years of friendship. Although there are some mistakes in it, our Lin family has always been magnanimous. Let the past be past." She opened her mouth slowly.

Lin was shocked, thinking why did her mother say such words suddenly?Just as he was about to make a sound, the old lady stared at him, and then closed his mouth again.

"Thank you grandma for your understanding, my grandson will definitely remember it." Li Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

After the meeting was over, Mrs. Lin impatiently followed behind the old lady, and chased into the bedroom, "Mother, why did you allow him to see that family again?"

"When did I say that it's not allowed?" The old lady snorted, "You sent the things, and it's not good for you. How dare you say so?"

Lin said aggrievedly, "Obviously my mother told me to go!"

"Don't mention this matter again. It's only because we found him too late. His wings have already grown. He doesn't just do what we say. Hey, speaking of it, this temperament is similar to Xiang'er. She was at that time Desperately wanting to marry that stinky boy, but she doesn't make trouble, and just pleases me all day long, but I can't find the right symptom, and I just refuse to agree, and then she does such a drastic thing! If this time I won't do it Yuanqing, I'm afraid he is also..."

The old lady closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again, "Forget it, he cares about the past so much, it can be seen that he is a person who never forgets his kindness. The Du family is just a farmer, and it can't hinder our Lin family."

Lin was very dissatisfied, she was so angry that Du Xiaoyu talked back to her last time, and later she saw that Li Yuanqing didn't go to Du's house and it worked, but it turned out that was not the case.

"Where's Miaorong? I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her cooking skills."

Hearing this, Lin immediately smiled again, "If you miss her, I'll ask someone to pick her up tomorrow."

The old lady nodded, "The chef at Yuan Qing's place is not very good, and I don't know if she would like the food cooked by Miao Rong, but she is also a young lady of the Chen family..."

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, if there is something to do, what is she just cooking?" Lin hurriedly said, it would be great if Chen Miaorong could really marry Li Yuanqing, and then the two of them would be truly connected.Because it can be seen that the old lady really likes this grandson, unlike her, even if she can often come back to live in the water splashed by her married daughter, she can't touch the Lin family's property at all.

The old lady stopped talking.

But Li Yuanqing just wanted to go back to the mansion to rest, when the shop head rushed to the door.

"My lord, there was a murder case in Sanli Village, and many people died!"

There are six villages under Feixian County, and Sanli Village is also within its jurisdiction, not too far from the county. Li Yuanqing hurriedly asked why.

"It was a bodyguard agency passing through Sanli Village. They were targeted by bandits on Yanshan Mountain. They took advantage of the middle of the night to sneak attack. As a result, the two sides fought. Many people were killed and injured, and the residents of the inn were also implicated."

"What's the situation over there now?"

"The subordinates just sent someone to investigate the news and came back. They said that a large number of gold goods escorted by them have been snatched by the bandits. Half of the people in the escort agency died, and a few chased them. The life and death are unknown. As for the residents... It's evening A fire broke out, and some of them were burnt beyond recognition, and I heard from several other injured residents that they were from our county."

Li Yuanqing pondered for a moment, "Since there is a plan to snatch the bodyguards, we should have decided on a back road. Sanli Village is backed by Yanshan Mountain, and the south is a waterway." Contact the boatman at the Sushui River Wharf and ask if you see any suspicious boats." He sat down in front of the desk, wrote a few lines with a brush, and stamped them, "Send it to Qidong County, those bandits are very likely From the waterway to Qidong, Mr. Zhang, please send more yamen guards to inspect."

The shop head took it over, and hurriedly went out with a bang.
