Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 166
It was the first time that Suye received an unsolicited message from Kong Linglong in Fengyan Xiaozhu, asking him to take some time to sit in the silk and satin village today.

Suye looked back and forth at the note several times, with a smile on his lips.Let him take the time to go, he can take the time at any time.

When Suye came to the silk and satin shop, he saw Zhuge Qingyun standing behind the counter, as if he had already taken up his post, and was greeting the guests who came in.The two looked at each other, and Zhuge Qingyun nodded to Suye.

Suye came to the inner room, and Kong Linglong was sitting inside waiting for him, making red plum tea.

Yu'er smiled at him, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Master Suye... are you here?"

Su Ye smiled at her, and Yu'er withdrew winkingly.

It was rare for Kong Linglong to take the initiative to speak, and her eyes were fixed on Su Ye's face, as if she wanted to see something about him: "That Zhuge Qingyun, what's going on?"

Su Ye was surprised: "What's wrong with him? Are you dissatisfied with him?"

Zhuge Qingyun's ability is even satisfactory to that one, who else in the world would be dissatisfied with his ability.

Kong Linglong stared at him: "You did it on purpose?"

The most reliable person in the capital is indeed reliable, but it's not something her small shop can hold down.

She endured it and said: "I have already told you the purpose of coming to the capital. At this time, people will know that I have hired a person who used to manage the treasury in the former palace to be the shopkeeper of the Kong family. I am afraid that the Kong family is not big enough to attract attention ?"

Suye looked at her, although the corners of her mouth were still smiling, her eyes were already calm: "Linglong, the tree's strokes don't catch the wind, and the root cause is that it can't catch the wind. Of course I remember what you said. You also said that you came to the capital. You have no choice, and you are willing to do everything you can to save people. If you let others know that Mr. Zhuge from the palace took the initiative to come to your shop as the shopkeeper, don't you think those people will be more afraid of you?"

Su Ye's words were equivalent to saying that since he was destined to attract attention, he might as well recruit more thoroughly.

Kong Linglong bit her lower lip and it turned white. It was rare for her to be silent for a moment before she said, "I said I have my own way, so you don't need to do this."

The look in Suye's eyes deepened: "Your scar removal cream has three lines, Linglong, don't you just want to use these three lines to lead to a powerful way? In this place in the capital, people who hold life and death in their hands are all in the clouds. If you want to save people, Zhuge Qingyun's identity will also be your help. Or do you think I am not someone you can trust?"

Compared with the three lines that took so much trouble to build, Kong Linglong had a firm mind on who was more trustworthy.

Suye was clearly asking Kong Linglong if she felt that he was not as worthy of her trust as the people on the three streets.

They are all smart people, and they will stop talking, and they will not really talk about each other's embarrassing places.

Kong Linglong turned her head, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Don't you feel that you have let the gentleman in charge of the national treasury come to me as the shopkeeper?"

Su Ye couldn't help laughing: "There are so many people who retire from the palace every year, from the General Affairs Office, from the Tai Hospital, countless. They have nothing to do when they retire, and it's a waste of talents."

Kong Linglong was left speechless by his words of wasting talents. It seems that Zhuge Qingyun came from the palace to be the shopkeeper of a small silk and satin shop, but he was unyielding?

Suye saw through her thoughts, and from that sentence, he could hear Kong Linglong's retreat, so his voice became softer: "You don't have to think too much, Zhuge Qingyun is capable, to be honest, he is far from retiring from old age and returning home. To the extent that instead of doing nothing all day, believe me, he would rather have something to do than he does now."

A capable person is suddenly let go, this feeling can only be experienced by people who have experienced the same.What Suye said was actually Zhuge Qingyun's idea, otherwise, in his capacity, even if he couldn't think of an excuse, no one would dare to force him.

Kong Linglong didn't say anything anymore, no matter whether she agreed with Suye's statement or not, she couldn't really drive Zhuge Qingyun away now.

No matter what she is facing next, she can only continue with everything.

Turning her head, she realized that Suye was looking at her again. Kong Linglong paused, wanting to ignore it, but couldn't.

"Linglong, I'm sorry." Unexpectedly, he said this in a low voice.

Kong Linglong looked at him, and suddenly realized for a rare moment: "What's wrong?"

She intuitively felt that this apology must not be because of Zhuge Qingyun's matter just now, because Suye's tone was obviously dignified.

Suye seemed to be smiling at her, more like genuinely hiding guilt: "I didn't make up my mind to rescue the Long'an Escort."

Kong Linglong was taken aback subconsciously, and then somehow remembered that in Zhao Zhuoying's last letter to her, it was mentioned that someone delivered a letter with a knife in the middle of the night, asking him not to pick up the dart, but Zhao Zhuoying didn't listen.

She hesitated: "You informed Zhao Zhuoying?"

Suye's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't want to hide it anymore: "I asked Luo to do it calmly."

But that's all. Afterwards, the Long'an Escort Bureau still took over the bodyguards, and was finally wanted by conspiracies, and Suye never made a move again.

Originally, he had nothing to say about this matter, but the moment he saw Kong Linglong in the capital, he knew that he still couldn't get over that hurdle.

Kong Linglong looked at Su Ye's face, she said before that she could already see Su Ye's emotions, and understood what he was thinking at the moment.

"You feel sorry for me because of this?" Kong Linglong looked at him with a calm expression, "Why?"

Why should I feel sorry for her because of this incident.

Isn't this untenable in itself?
When the two of them met their eyes, they knew what the other was thinking, and knew that the other's thinking was different from their own. Su Ye was already relatively close to Kong Linglong, so she immediately grabbed her with five fingers.

As soon as the delicate touch touched the palm of her hand, the curtain was lifted by Yu'er from the outside, and Yu'er immediately covered her mouth.

Yu'er smiled awkwardly: "Well, miss, son, I'm sorry, there is a customer outside who wants to order a pattern for a season, and Mr. Zhuge asked the lady to make a decision, so the servant has no choice but to disturb."

Let me explain first that she didn't do it on purpose, she absolutely doesn't want to disturb the time when Miss and Young Master Su Ye are alone.

Kong Linglong pulled out her hand vigorously, maintaining a calm face: "Let's go and have a look."

Then she stood up and walked quickly to the door, Suye followed her closely, just as she was about to go out, he grabbed her fingers again, and this time he clasped her tightly so that Kong Linglong could no longer break free .

At this time, the door curtain has been lifted, and it is impossible to think about it. Zhuge Qingyun and the guests also looked over.

Kong Linglong tried to stay calm and went out with Suye, Suye was holding a fan with the other hand, as if she was covering Kong Linglong from the miasma outside.

"Excuse me, what kind of pattern do you want to order?" Kong Linglong asked calmly looking at the customer outside.

The customer seemed to be stunned for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "It's like this, my wife likes the new patterns launched by your shop very much, and wants to order them from you in the future, but Madam has a condition, that is, the patterns for her, They can no longer be sold to others, of course, Madam will only pick one or two of them every quarter, and I will definitely not embarrass your store."

No wonder Zhuge Qingyun asked Kong Linglong to make a decision. This business is actually good. If the silk and satin factory can establish a stable supply relationship with a big family, it will be a guarantee first.The rich family is not short of money, and they ordered silk and satin, even if the daily business of the silk and satin shop is not much in the future, they don't have to worry about being greatly affected.

Kong Linglong thought for a while, and said: "Yes, your government will draw up a contract with detailed requirements, and pay [-]% of the deposit. From now on, we will send the new models to your residence every quarter for review, and your residence will choose the rest. , we will get it to the shop and sell it.”

The guest said: "That's great, I will send the deposit and the contract in the afternoon, thank you for accepting this matter."

But on the other side, Suye suddenly called out: "Wait a minute."

Kong Linglong's palms froze, but she realized that Suye was pinching her even tighter.

Su Ye looked at the clerk: "Every season's new look is a confidential matter of the store. If you give it to your wife for review in advance, then if the pattern is leaked before it is sold, will your government compensate you?"

The guests had all left before, but turned back abruptly.

He just looked at Su Ye, as if it was unbelievable, anyone who is suspected like this should describe it like this.

This guest was dressed in brocade clothes, he seemed to be from a wealthy family, and he said that he was working for his wife, so he must be of high status. Such a high-status person came to the silk and satin factory to order patterns, but was suspected of leaking, and he might not be angry.

On that side, Su Ye was still smiling, which made people unable to vent their anger.

Kong Linglong calmed down. In fact, there was indeed a loophole in what Suye said just now. She would usually immediately think of what Suye mentioned, but today, she seemed to not notice it because her emotions affected her judgment.

But now that Suye has spoken, his interest is different, and if he says a wrong word now, he will offend this distinguished guest.

Suye was still holding her hand at this moment, Kong Linglong forced herself to calm down, thinking about what to say next.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Qingyun said: "My son is very worried, especially because there are so many people in the house. There was an incident of stealing pictures in the governor's mansion the year before last, and the wife of the master's family was wronged. We have to consider for the guests. thoughtful."

The guest became suspicious from the original anger, because what he said seemed to be for their own good. He had heard about the robbery of the map in the governor's mansion. It happened the year before last. What was lost was the birthday gift map dedicated to the queen , It was later found out that it was a good deed done by a servant who ate inside and outside.

So the customer didn't feel good about it, so he said: "I'll go back and discuss this matter with my wife, and I'll come back to communicate with your store in the afternoon."

Zhuge Qingyun cupped his hands: "Okay, send this guest off respectfully."

A turmoil was resolved first, Kong Linglong returned to the private room, and asked Su Ye directly: "What did you do just now?"

What do you mean?
Su Ye's expression moved slightly, she looked at Kong Linglong and said, "I suggest you not to associate with this family just now."

Kong Linglong was stunned for a word without thinking, "What's the matter?"

Su Ye's actions just now made her feel surprised, as if she was deliberately offending that person, out of trust in Su Ye, she didn't speak.But now, she needs an explanation.

Su Ye smiled: "That family's reputation is not good, I guessed correctly, the wife that the guest mentioned is the second wife of this family, she has no power in the family, and is a troublesome person. Such a person, you get involved It's not good for you, and it might ruin your business."

No matter how unpredictable Kong Linglong was, it was impossible for her to be familiar with every family in the capital, let alone the secrets of each family.After Su Ye's words, Kong Linglong felt as if a door had been opened, and she saw a whole new perspective.

This kind of helpless powerful family, no matter how powerful it is, is not what the Kong family should touch now.

Kong Linglong lowered her head to think about something, Suye looked at the intertwined hands of the two, and slowly approached her: "What are you afraid of, you still have me."

This sentence is still his usual tone, and the voice has not changed, but for no reason there is an ambiguity flowing between the two.Kong Linglong's complexion could not be seen clearly, but there was an uncontrollable color permeating the base of her ears.

She struggled to free her hand.

Hua Hongxiao in the carriage was a little impatient: "Have you arrived yet? How long has it been?"

The servant girl next to her smiled and said, "It's coming soon, miss, the turn is just ahead, don't worry, when you see the real thing, you will definitely feel that this trip is worthwhile."

Hua Hongxiao reluctantly endured it, if it wasn't for two days ago, when an aunt of hers went to Dudu's Mansion as a guest, and she wore a dazzling new dress flauntingly, Hua Hongxiao was attracted by the clothes on the spot, and asked where she made it , the aunt said that a new silk and satin shop has opened in this city, and the materials inside are all fashionable and new that the capital has never seen before.

Hua Hongxiao was moved, and immediately urged the servant girl to come to this silk and satin factory to have a look at it while preparing a carriage.

If she could wear such clothes and show up at the palace flower banquet, Hua Hongxiao couldn't help but smile.

The carriage that had been walking for a long time finally stopped, and the servant girl accompanied her carefully: "Miss, it's not far ahead. This is the downtown area. Let's get off the carriage and walk a few steps."

Hua Hongxiao didn't mind taking two steps, she was already sore all over and wanted to move a little bit.Subconsciously, she reached out and opened the window of the carriage.

Seeing this, she couldn't move her eyes away.

She saw a figure as elegant as an orchid, just in front of her, getting into a carriage, just a silhouette, with half of her face exposed, which made Hua Hong's soul linger in her dreams.

It wasn't until the carriage started that Hua Hongxiao woke up from the trance, and said sharply: "Shuang'er, let our carriage go!"

Shuang'er was the little maid, she just got out of the carriage and was about to help Hua Hongxiao out of the carriage.

This sound startled her, thinking that something happened, she hurriedly climbed into the carriage again, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, what's the matter with you?"

Hua Hongxiao's face was blushing at the moment, she didn't care about anything, she ordered the servant girl in a loud voice: "Quickly, let the coachman closely follow the carriage in front, hurry up!"

Seeing Hua Hongxiao's blushing face, Shuang'er didn't dare to ask the reason, but turned her head and told the coachman to do the same.

So the carriage that just stopped started to go again, Hua Hongxiao kept looking out of the window, and kept urging: "Hurry up! Don't get lost!"

The coachman was also pitiful, he drove the carriage all morning and came here, he thought he could take a breather, but the lady in the carriage went crazy and wanted to chase some carriage ahead.

The carriage looked inconspicuous, and there was no family badge on it, so I don't know whose family it belonged to.

Hua Hongxiao was already restless, wishing she could rush up by herself now, Shuang'er finally dared to ask cautiously: "Miss, who did you see?"

Hua Hongxiao immediately sat back on the carriage, holding her face with trembling hands, "I must be right, that is, that is Young Master Su Ye..."

She was a little excited and couldn't help covering her face, it must be, except for that person, who else has such a turbid appearance?
Hua Hongxiao felt her ears burning, and the servant girl was startled, but she understood why the young lady's gaffe came from, after all, she was also a close servant girl, and understood some of the young lady's secrets.

But Shuang'er thought that she should try to persuade her in fear, and said: "Miss, even if you are really Mr. Su Ye, if you chase someone's carriage like this, how can you be lucky if you are discovered?"

I can understand Miss's enthusiasm for Mr. Su Ye, but if she is so fanatical in chasing someone's carriage in the street, the dignified daughter of the Dudu's Mansion does such a demeaning thing, if even a little bit of it gets out, how will the Dudu's Mansion and Miss face it? ?

But Hua Hongxiao was completely engrossed in the joy of seeing Su Ye, her face was blank, since two years ago, at the only palace banquet two years ago, she found him by chance, and since then she has never had the chance to see him again. Pass.

Even though they are all in the capital, but he lives in seclusion, so he just has no chance to meet him.

Hua Hongxiao couldn't bear the longing in her heart to see him for a while, even if she was discovered, she seemed to be unable to control these things anymore.

Seeing this, Shuang'er tried to persuade her, but the young lady was still in a daze, so she wisely stopped talking.She was just a servant girl, and she had fulfilled her duties as a servant girl, so she just let her go.

-

In the carriage in front, Luo Congrong had already noticed a carriage following them all the time. Using the convenience of his vision, he saw clearly that the carriage had a family emblem on it, and it was the carriage of the Hua family in the Dudu Mansion.

As for Hua Hongxiao's anxiously looking at them, Luo Congrong could also see clearly the flashing face of Hua Hongxiao passing by outside the car window.

He slowly said: "Young master, the young lady of the Hua family has followed you."

Their carriage has been refitted, and it doesn't look like Su Ye's house on the outside, which means that when Su Ye was on the street just now, she was seen by this lady.

Su Ye's expression was indifferent: "Tell her not to follow at the intersection ahead."

Luo calmly gave instructions to the coachman in a low voice, so when Hua Hongxiao reached an intersection ahead, Hua Hongxiao felt that the carriage flashed into the corner in front of his eyes, and when he hurriedly urged the coachman to follow, he found that after turning the intersection, Su Ye The carriage had disappeared.

Hua Hongxiao opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, especially when the coachman tremblingly said to her, "Miss, I lost my follower."

Hua Hong jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, looked around on the street, but she couldn't see anything.

It seemed that the chase just now was nothing more than her illusion.

But how did Hua Hongxiao admit it? She was so angry that she scolded the coachman: "What's the use of keeping you trash, you can't even keep up with a carriage!"

After cursing for a while, Shuang'er finally couldn't help but stepped forward: "Miss, the sun is so hot here, you should get in the car first, don't burn your skin. If you want to see Mr. Su Ye, there will be more opportunities in the future."

Hua Hongxiao usually has the most precious skin, not to mention sunbathing in the sun, even if it gets a little bit of light, she has to use an umbrella to cover it.

She went back to the carriage angrily, and wiped away her tears with one hand.

On the other side, Luo Congrong watched Hua Hongxiao look around in a hurry from the corner, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was lost in the end.

He said quietly: "It seems that what the subordinate said is correct, this Miss Hua is determined to win the young master with all her heart."

The previous efforts of the Dudu Mansion were all aimed at this.

Su Ye didn't say a word, and after drinking a cup of clear tea in the tea shed by the roadside, he boarded the carriage again and returned to Fengyan Xiaozhu.
