Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 227 Dinner
Sure enough, there are a lot of silk products in Lingcheng, but compared with Qidong County, the workmanship is not at the same level. It is no wonder that all brocade shops will go to Qidong to buy goods.

"It's a pity that the silk here is so good."

"Qidong's textile craftsmanship was brought in by the Hu family. That family was originally from Yangzhou, but later involved in a case, and their descendants were exiled to the north. It was only during the Jingyan period that they were rehabilitated. The descendants of the Hu family migrated slowly. After arriving in Jinan and settling down in Qidong, their weaving skills were gradually improved by their family, so that we can have today's scene."

After Li Yuanqing explained, Du Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "So there is such a story."

"But it's still not as good as the craftsmanship in the south. If you have a chance to see it, you'll know how ingenious it is. Isn't the Suzhou embroidery that eldest sister learned from there?"

Du Xiaoyu laughed, "The Land of Fish and Rice is different again."

Ruan Yu was listening, and said, "I went to Hangzhou once with Master. The silk there is really good. I heard that tribute is paid every year."

The three of them talked and walked around, killing an hour in a while.

Ruan Yu suddenly stopped, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"But you're too tired to walk?" Du Xiaoyu asked.

She nodded, "I'll go back to the inn to rest for a while, you go and look around, it's still early anyway."

But he didn't put on any more pretentiousness, and Du Xiaoyu didn't say a word.

She bid farewell to Li Yuanqing again, turned around and walked towards the inn, her back was slender, and she even walked so beautifully, like a lotus flower growing on her feet.

"Aren't you going to accompany me?" Du Xiaoyu glanced at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing looked away, "She is indeed a beauty, but you know what I think."

Du Xiaoyu snorted slightly, "Then Wang Minghua is really capable?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come."

"But don't you think this matter is a bit tricky?" Du Xiaoyu raised his chin and said slowly, "This doctor Wang seems to be drunk."

Li Yuanqing was silent for a while before replying, "I always have to make it clear to her first, whether to invite her or not is the next thing, if I really use her, wouldn't it be too despicable?"

She raised her eyebrows, "In this way, you are not afraid that she will leave without going to the dinner? Then my cousin's affairs will be difficult."

"You really blame me for this?" Li Yuanqing's eyes were burning.

The corner of Du Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, and he turned his head away without answering.

Li Yuanqing shook his head slightly, "You are really cunning, if I really misunderstand your meaning and cooperate with them, you will think me shameless again in the future."

Du Xiaoyu really thought so, but Li Yuanqing didn't disappoint her, so he wouldn't just use Ruan Yu just to invite Wang Minghua.

She pursed her lips and smiled.

The two walked for a while before returning to the inn.

Du Xiaoyu was tired and slept in the guest room for half an hour before coming out. Just in time for lunch, he saw Li Yuanqing had already ordered some dishes and was waiting in the lobby.

She ate a few mouthfuls before Ruan Yu came over, her face looked a little pale, and she almost tripped over the foot of a chair when she was walking.

She obviously didn't have a good appetite for that meal, so she used some in a hurry and went to the guest room again.

"Did you tell her?" Du Xiaoyu asked.

"Yeah." Li Yuanqing nodded and didn't have anything extra to say.

Having known each other for several years, I thought it was a good friend to make, but who would have expected that she would have such feelings for him, and she would still put her heart into it. It must be cruel to say those words to her today, but it must be said, Even if that was euphemistic.

Ruan Yu sat on the head of the bed, tears falling down uncontrollably.

He made a special trip to come to the room, Ben was secretly delighted, but unexpectedly came for Du Xiaoyu, ordered the right rouge for her, and planned to give it to her, the thoughtfulness, the tenderness on his face, is what she has never seen before. unseen.

It turns out that for so many years, he has always had someone he likes in his heart, no wonder he has tried his best to get closer to him.

In the end, she was the one who knew him, too late!

What's the use now?Even if he accepted her favor, Li Yuanqing would not be able to pay it back!

She only felt that the feelings she was full of were shattered. Was it just a dream that she was chasing for so long?Nothing was achieved, from the beginning to the end, it was just her dreaming alone.

As the sky was getting dark, Du Xiaoyu stood in front of the door and watched the moon rise slowly.

Will Ruan Yu still go to the banquet?

Just as she was thinking, she heard Ruan Yu's voice. She was wearing a bright dress, like a dazzling light in the night, "It's getting late, Miss Du, we should go."

She still decided to go, even though Li Yuanqing had expressed her intention.

Wang Minghua had asked someone to set up a banquet, and dozens of lamps were lit in the lobby, which was very bright.

Seeing Ruan Yu's attire, Wang Minghua's eyes lit up, and he couldn't leave his eyes for a long time. He clapped his hands and praised, "She really is a beauty."

The four of them sat down separately, without mentioning the matter of seeing a doctor, and only enjoyed the delicious food and wine.

The wine was excellent, mellow and sweet, after a while, Du Xiaoyu became slightly drunk, and Ruan Yu was almost the same, his face was as red as a shrimp.

"I'll take her out for a while." Li Yuanqing walked up to Du Xiaoyu, hugged her shoulders, and helped her out of the main room.

Ruan Yu looked at the backs of the two of them, wishing to shoot an arrow from his eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Minghua smiled slightly, "It seems that you have miscalculated, should I go to Feixian County now?"

"Go, of course!" Ruan Yu drank the wine in his hand, "I can't come here in vain, he is just blinded by lard, and he will see my goodness sooner or later."

Her lips were trembling, her face was burning with anger, like a rose with thorns, Wang Minghua sighed, "Why don't you really follow me? I will definitely treat you as a treasure. What's so good about Mr. Li? You want to do this Practicing yourself?"

"You don't understand." Ruan Yu sighed quietly.

When she met the robbers that day, all the maids and servants sent by her master to accompany her ran away alone, leaving her alone in the carriage. The robbers didn't arrest her immediately, but just frightened her and let her Drilling around in the woods, they laughed and chased after them.

So insane.

But this is not the first time she has encountered such a thing. There was a disaster in her hometown. She and her younger brother were abandoned by the uncle's family.

Later, begging along the road, what kind of people have you never met?
However, just when she thought she was about to be humiliated to death like this, he appeared.

Ruan Yu turned the tea cup back and forth in her hands, then shook her head, "Young master like you won't understand."

Seeing this, Wang Minghua couldn't help feeling distressed, but he didn't say anything after all.

When Li Yuanqing and Du Xiaoyu came back, Wang Minghua agreed to go to Feixian County, but Li Yuanqing's prepared rhetoric was useless.

There must be Ruan Yu's credit for helping Huang Lishu, and no matter what her purpose was, Du Xiaoyu still expressed her gratitude to her.

Without further ado, the four of them set off for Feixian County the next day.

It took a day to arrive, and the Wang family didn't get entangled in the question of who was right and who was right, and hurriedly asked Wang Minghua to show their youngest son.

He was indeed a skilled doctor, and after half a day of performing acupuncture behind closed doors in the room, the second young master of the Wang family came to his senses, but he was not completely cured, and he said he needed to perform acupuncture for three consecutive days.

The Wang family kept Wang Minghua at home, entertaining him with good wine and food every day.

The Du family finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Dongzhi invited Ruan Yu over, and thanked him in every possible way, "Fortunately, you came up with an idea, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Ruan Yu only smiled modestly.

Zhao Dongzhi also prepared a gift for her, which is a pair of jade bracelets, the water head is very good, and the price should not be low.

Ruan Yu refused to accept, "How dare you ask for it, I can't invite it alone, isn't there Master Li and Miss Du going together?"

"I heard that you didn't have time to discuss the business of the rouge shop. Did it delay our family?" Zhao Dongzhi asked hurriedly, "What is this thing?"

Ruan Yu's face froze, she didn't have any intention of talking about business at that time.

In the end, it was still not accepted, Zhao Dongzhi felt a little unhappy in his heart, pulled Zhao Shi and said, "Look, Miss Ruan doesn't catch her eye! It's all because of this damn boy, I asked him to come up and thank Miss Ruan, but he couldn't say much for a long time. In a word, it's like a piece of wood, how can Miss Ruan like it? I don't want to bother with him!" She said bitterly, "Then Qin Zhixiong's family comes again, let him take Qinglan away, and see him No regrets later!"

Du Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing secretly, but Huang Lishu was very happy.

Mrs. Zhao frowned, "Since Miss Ruan meant it that way, that's all. Don't worry about setting up the tree. Third Sister Qin will really come over when the time comes, and I will tell her well."

Zhao Dongzhi sighed, and put the jade bracelet on the table, "Sister, just figure it out, I'm really tired, and it's not good to spend all my time for this son." After saying that, he walked out lazily.

But when Ruan Yu just got home, she saw her aunt wandering by the door.

"You're finally back." Seeing her, Mrs. Zhou smiled cautiously.

Ruan Yu was not in a good mood, and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"

"Someone came from the Lin family's mansion just now, and sent a post, asking you to come and sit down, as if someone was invited to sing at home." Zhou said with a smile, "A few days ago, someone asked people to inquire about our family's affairs. , I think the people from the Lin family seem... by the way, isn’t their grandson the head of our county? I heard that the old lady of the Lin family is trying to find a good wife for him.”

Ruan Yu's eyes lit up, the old lady of the Lin family really missed her, the corners of her mouth twitched, yes, so what if Li Yuanqing is not interested in her?He always listened to the opinions of the elders in the family for the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker.

How can the old lady see someone like Du Xiaoyu?

In the end, it was nothing more than fetching water from a bamboo basket!

"Where's the post?" She flipped her hand.

Mrs. Zhou handed over the post, and was about to follow into the house, but she heard a bang in her ear, Ruan Yu had already closed the door heavily, she couldn't help being stunned, and after a while, she left half embarrassed and half complaining.
