Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 218 Thanks
That inn is quite elegant, maybe autumn is here, and there are many people who come to enjoy the beautiful scenery, there are not a few guest rooms left, they are lucky, they will live in another house when they come later.

The man helped them lead them to the room, settled down, and then they came down to eat again.

Du Xian clicked his tongue twice, "Several rooms cost one tael of silver for one night, which is really expensive."

Zhao Dongzhi smiled, "Brother-in-law, haven't you looked at the furnishings in the guest room? It's top-notch, but the quilts are different, and they've been scented."

Du Xian scratched his head, "I don't understand these things."

"Brother-in-law, don't be reluctant, Wen Yuan invited him anyway." Zhao Dongzhi covered her mouth and smiled, "Let's just use it well, Wen Yuan, isn't the food here delicious?"

Li Yuanqing nodded, "I heard it is, but I have never tried it."

Mrs. Zhao chose a quieter corner, told them to sit down, and said to Du Qingqiu, "Eat well in a while, don't run around like home, do you understand?"

Du Qingqiu opened his almond-like eyes, looking around curiously.

Du Wentao took the initiative to sit next to his sister, "I will watch her."

Du Xiaoyu laughed when he heard this, and patted his head, "Wen Tao is good." He sat down next to him, and Li Yuanqing wanted to sit there too, but Chen Miaorong went uncharacteristically and took the place before him. position.

He couldn't help being taken aback, Chen Miaorong smiled at Du Xiaoyu, "Miss Du, can I sit here?"

"of course."

Chen Miaorong didn't say anything all the way, just followed behind with Caiyu, Du Xiaoyu felt that she was quite pitiful when she saw her, the old lady asked her to come, she just came, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart when she did such a thing. What is it like.

"I heard that my cousin grew up in your family, and he is as close as a brother and sister." Chen Miaorong said with a smile, "No wonder I always think about it, this time I invite you to come to Fengcun to play, I am also honored."

If you didn't realize it before, Du Xiaoyu felt a little ironic when he heard the words "as close as brother and sister" now. Li Yuanqing was afraid that it would be very uncomfortable to hear it. Into a straight line, not as usual, always bent into a beautiful arc.

The corners of Chen Miaorong's mouth twitched, she lowered her head and took a sip of the tea poured by the waiter.

Li Yuanqing ordered more than a dozen dishes, and after a while, they were served one after another.

Everything is exquisite and beautiful, with good color and fragrance.

Everyone put their chopsticks down frequently, and the shopkeeper of the inn also invited a singer to come, the singing was surrounded, melodious and beautiful, very sentimental, no wonder the business of this shop is so good.

Zhao Dongzhi clapped her hands and said, "Should we invite a singing girl for our restaurant?"

"Where is there a beautiful view? It's not elegant enough." Du Xiaoyu shook his head. This downtown area is not as good as this place. The decoration of restaurants is quite standard, and the food is not exquisite.

The lobby was full of excitement, and the diners were not in a hurry to finish their meals. They waited for the moon to rise before returning to their table.

The lake that Li Yuanqing mentioned, with the moonlight reflected in it at night, is surprisingly beautiful. The surrounding maple trees are dark and dark in the night, and the redness has faded, looking mysterious. When the wind blows, it is like sand and waves. sound.

Tourists carry lanterns, countless lanterns are lit everywhere, and they are not lonely at all.

"It's really like a fairyland here." Zhao said with emotion, "Fortunately, Wen Yuan asked us to come, otherwise, I'm afraid we would never have thought of taking a look, did we miss it?"

"Yes, yes." Du Xian nodded again and again, holding Du Qingqiu and occasionally playing trapeze, the latter giggled like silver bells in the wind.

Li Yuanqing tested Du Wentao there again, and the two recited poems against each other.

Du Xiaoyu sat idly on a big rock, she hadn't enjoyed the scenery for a long time, now she stopped to take a look, she felt so peaceful in her heart.

Chen Miaorong sat down again, and said with a smile, "The Lin family also has a Yinyuetan, which is somewhat similar to this one, and it is also very beautiful at night. When will Miss Du Er come to watch it?"

Although the Lin family and their Du family looked peaceful for the time being, and the old lady allowed Li Yuanqing to visit, it was impossible to say that they were friendly. The purpose of sending things back last time was to tell them to sever that relationship. Invite them to visit the Lin family?
She didn't believe that Chen Miaorong didn't know these things, so what does it mean to say such things at this moment?
Du Xiaoyu kept his composure and smiled, "If I have the chance, I would certainly like to go and see it." After saying that, he stood up and walked over to Mrs. Zhao, "It's too late, it's almost time to go back."

Seeing her natural attitude, Chen Miaorong frowned slightly, she didn't know if she didn't understand or was pretending, but she had no business in this matter, she had to report to the old lady, it was a credit.

The old lady definitely didn't want Li Yuanqing to beg a peasant girl. She came from a merchant, and even if she could only be a concubine, what was Du Xiaoyu?
But the more difficult this matter is to solve, the better. The old lady only uses her to try. If Li Yuanqing doesn't like it, she will be sent back to the Chen family in the end. According to my mother, my father also left a way out. Marry her to a rice merchant. The rice merchant has property, but unfortunately she is a little older, and his wife died the year before last, so it is a sequel.

She is not very willing, in fact, marrying Li Yuanqing as a concubine is not a good choice...

Chen Miaorong was so full of thoughts that she didn't know that the other people had already gone to the inn.

Caiyu pushed her, "Miss Chen, what are you thinking? This trip is for nothing, it seems that our young master didn't talk to you." There was a lot of complaint in her tone.

That's right, her situation is worse than that of a maid!

Chen Miaorong turned her head and smiled, bowed her head and walked forward with a sense of apology.

The maple leaves in the morning really faded, and I don't know what kind of maple tree it is, but it is so strange, and several people lingered and walked along the road for a long time.

But at the Lin family, the old lady was upset, she took tea bowls to vent her anger, and smashed one after another, cursing, "You son of a bitch, you want to take people from the Du family to play, and leave an old woman like me here At home, there is really no conscience!"

Mrs. Lin also scolded a few times for her help, and said with a smile, "Mother, you didn't agree to this matter yourself, otherwise he wouldn't dare, but now he regrets it."

The old lady curled her lips, "I always want to be magnanimous. Those poor people have never been to a fun place. Am I not allowed? I just think that I don't like it very much. This kid is too nostalgic. Over there I I can't pick any thorns, I really haven't used our family, I'm afraid this friendship won't disappear."

Lin's attention is not on Du's house now, she turned her eyes and said, "But he still listened to his mother and took Miaorong away. I seem to like her quite a bit, otherwise, if mother decides, I will let Yuanqing take her away." She got it, it's always necessary to have someone around to serve you, look at how old he is, he doesn't touch women, the only one who doesn't know is that he is..." She lowered her voice, "Last time there was The doctor came to the door."

It was said that he had a physical problem, and the old lady was furious, "Nonsense, he has also practiced martial arts, how could he be sick?"

"Of course I know, it's someone else..."

Just as he was talking, a maid reported at the door, "There is a Ruan girl waiting outside, saying that she wants to see the old lady and the wife."

The old lady frowned, "Miss Ruan?"

Mrs. Lin laughed, "It's the Ruan girl who made the rouge." She also felt strange that Ruan Yu would come to the door in person. She didn't know what was going on, so she asked for credit first, "I bought the rouge for my mother a few times ago. Don't you like it very much? She made it, and I ordered some later, which should be sent here specially."

Hearing that it was made of rouge, the old lady smiled wide-eyed, "This rouge is not bad, it's not much different from what I bought in Beijing before." She asked someone to come in.

Ruan Yulian moved lightly and slowly walked into the lobby.

Seeing her face, the old lady couldn't help admiring secretly, what a beauty!
"I've met the old lady, ma'am." She bowed upright, her voice as clear and melodious as a yellow warbler.

The old lady already likes it very much in her heart. She is a person who likes beautiful things, so she has many beautiful maids around her. Miss Ruan is not only good-looking, but she is also so skillful that she can make all kinds of rouge. Xiuwaihuizhong.

"Sit down quickly." The old lady smiled.

The maid beside her hurriedly moved a brocade bamboo over there, and Ruan Yu sat sideways on it.

The behavior was also very elegant, the old lady's eyes were narrowed, and Lin asked, "Miss Ruan is here to deliver rouge? I went back to your place to order some, but the door hasn't been opened for several days in a row."

Ruan Yu raised her head and smiled, "Ruan Yu just felt sorry for keeping his wife waiting, so she delivered it herself." After finishing speaking, he took out four boxes of rouge from his kit bag.

The maid took it and handed it to the old lady and Mrs. Lin.

When you open it, there will be a faint aroma, including lotus, plum blossom, gardenia, peach blossom, light and strong, and different.

The two were amazed, and the old lady said, "You can also make fragrance!"

Dissolving the fragrance into the rouge, it smells good and looks good, she knows the goods, she turned her head and thought for a while, "I bought a few boxes of rouge in the capital before, and it was made by the world-famous lady Hua. I have remembered that smell for several years. It didn't seem to be there in the past few times, but this time... girl, do you know Mrs. Hua?"

Before Ruan Yu could answer, Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "Mother, you just came to the county. I've heard that Miss Ruan is Mrs. Hua's direct disciple!"

The old lady's eyes widened, "No wonder, no wonder! It's exactly the same!"

Ruan Yu said modestly, "I only have [-]% to [-]% of master's craftsmanship. I haven't grasped the taste well, so I didn't add a lot of rouge. This time I did it to thank the old lady and the wife for their help. of."

"The grace of salvation?" The old lady raised her eyebrows, not understanding what she meant.

"It was Yuanqing who caught the rogue who was making trouble in their shop." Lin explained, thinking to herself, this girl is very understanding, and credited the kindness to the Lin family.
