Chapter 80

"Why do you always worry about this?" Rong Lanxue put down the book, took the tea and said, "Looking at the attitude of Mr. Zongsan, I think this child is someone else, and the wedding is approaching. Qi, now that something like this happened suddenly, I think the eldest lady will definitely not let it go."

"We are now in the light, and the eldest wife is in the dark, how can we guard against her?" Lianxiang couldn't help becoming more worried.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the earth." Rong Lanxue looked confident.Lianxiang, Yupan looked at her plain expression, and slowly relaxed her nervous mood.

At this time, Zong Yunlong walked in slowly when he heard a sound outside the door.Rong Lanxue smiled slightly, "Sir Zong, why did you go and come back?"

"Tian Yueru had a miscarriage!" Zong Yunlong said with a cold face.

"Ah, pitiful, pitiful." Rong Lanxue sighed, "It's a pity that such a good child is gone like this!"

"It's a pity?" Zong Yunlong roared angrily: "The eldest wife is now insisting that the child is mine!"

"This..." Rong Lanxue hesitated to speak, Zong Yunlong stepped in front of her, stared fiercely into her eyes, "Say!"

"Things have come to this, Mr. Zongsan, what else can we do? You can write a divorce letter and send me back to Linjiang County." Rong Lanxue said flatly.

"Retirement! Heh heh." Zong Yunlong smiled instead of anger, but there was an icy chill in his laughter, which made Rong Lanxue shiver uncontrollably, "Miss Rong, you don't need to worry about anything, just wait On that auspicious day, my clan's family of eight will carry you in in a palanquin!" Saying this, Zong Yunlong raised his handsome face and walked out of the room quickly.

Seeing Zong Yunlong leave, Lianxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death, Mr. Zong San, you are so fierce."

Rong Lanxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface she acted nonchalantly and said: "In my opinion, Mr. Zong San is afraid in his heart. If there is no wind, where will the waves come from? I am afraid that the eldest lady will If you come out, the third son of Zong can't escape the relationship."

"Miss, if that's the case, what is the plan for the miss? Besides, this place is so far away from our Linjiang County." Lianxiang said a little worried.

"This is not a problem for me. I have planned for a long time to open a shop by myself and make exquisite shoe decorations for the ladies of each family." Rong Lanxue couldn't help but feel melancholy. I'm afraid she is now a capable little boss.

It was calm and calm for a few days, Tian Wang's family, Wang Wu's family, and conch, carefully prepared all kinds of delicacies and came here every day. Rong Lanxue, Lianxiang, and Yupan ate with great joy.

Since Tian Yueru's miscarriage that day, she has shed tears all day long, but the eldest wife is frowning at this time. Although she has hinted to the elders of the Zong family that Tian Yueru's child is Zong Yunlong's, Zong Yunlong's temper is well known .He hasn't made any movement yet, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be trouble, and no one will be able to stop it.

On this day, Rong Lanxue was sitting on a recliner in the side hall, holding a book, half-reading, her eyes were confused, and she was in a daze.Yupan stepped forward gently, "Miss, are you tired, can you go to bed and have a rest?"

Rong Lanxue slowly withdrew her gaze, looked at the jade plate for a while, and then woke up, "No need, what time is it?"

"It should be Shen Shi." Lianxiang looked at the sky and replied.

"Always staying in the room, we are bored, why don't we go out for a walk." Rong Lanxue suddenly suggested with great interest.

"Miss?" Yupan and Lianxiang were shocked when they heard it.In their thinking, a lady of every family should stay out of the door and never step out of the second door. Although the lady has a bold temperament, she is a bride to be married after all, let alone the bride of the third son of a wealthy family in Guangzhou?
"It's okay, we're not in a deep house, and besides, we've been in Guangzhou for so long, and we haven't gone out for a stroll." Rong Lanxue stretched her waist, and said in a slow but firm tone, "Lianxiang, Change my clothes."

Lianxiang had no choice but to take out a lake blue shirt with gold thread and silver coins, Rong Lanxue frowned, "Lianxiang, I'm just going out for a stroll, I don't want to attract the attention of the people on the street, you take it out like this A shirt, isn't it afraid that Mr. Zong San won't know?"

"Miss, I..." Lianxiang's face flushed red, she hurried back to the inner room, and took another plain dress, Rong Lanxue nodded, after putting it on, Lianxiang combed a bun for her , On the pink and tender face, apply a layer of pearl powder lightly.

After everything was dressed, Yupan and Lianxiang looked at Rong Lanxue in front of her, and couldn't help admiring: "Miss, you are really a beautiful face."

Rong Lanxue smiled lightly, "Stop flattering, hurry up and go out. I heard that Guangzhou City is a bustling place, so we need to take a good look around today."

"Yes!" The two maids were delighted when they heard about the shopping, and hurriedly followed Rong Lanxue.

Although the house Rong Lanxue lives in is an old house, it is located in a bustling area of ​​Guangzhou City. The three of them came out along the quiet alley and were attracted by the scenery in front of them. On the street, there are a variety of shops, various silk and satin workshops, rouge shops, restaurants, tea houses, one after another, it is the afternoon, but there are not many pedestrians on the road.So the three of them did not attract the attention of others.

Rong Lanxue walked slowly in front, watching, but the two maidservants behind her lowered their heads, not daring to look around.Rong Lanxue suddenly pointed to the front and said to Yupan, "Yupan, look at the front..."

Yupan lowered her head at this time and did not raise her eyes. She didn't know what Miss saw, but she just replied casually: "Yes, Miss." In the distance, beside the wide facade, there is a big cloth shoe, which is as long as an arm.Yupan couldn't help saying: "Miss, what is this, there are such big feet in this world?"

"Hehe, this is a propaganda method." Rong Lanxue blurted out, but Yupan frowned embarrassingly, "A propaganda method?"

"Well, you don't understand. Even if the store puts a shoe of this size, the customers who come and go will feel curious, and they must go into the store to have a look. Even I want to go in and have a look now." , Rong Lanxue has already entered through the door.

Inside the shop, the shopkeeper and Xiaoer were cleaning the dust off the shoes. When they saw a customer coming in, they immediately stepped forward with a big smile on their face, "Miss, what kind of shoes do you need?"

Rong Lanxue nodded secretly, this boss is really smart, he only greeted himself alone, presumably he could tell at a glance that he was a lady, and the two behind him were maidservants.

Rong Lanxue didn't answer, but slowly came to the shoe rack, Xiao Er hurried forward, and the jade plate had already stopped in front of him, "Let's take a look for yourself." Xiao Er stepped back knowingly, But his eyes flickered with Rong Lanxue's.

Rong Lanxue's gaze had just stopped in front of a new and elegant embroidered shoe, and Xiao Er had already skillfully crossed the barrier of the jade plate and stood about one meter away from Rong Lanxue, "Miss , this is the latest style in our store, it has just been put on the shelf, the lady has a good eye."

Rong Lanxue smiled slightly, "Xiao Er, this style is quite novel, but the only flaw is that these shoes look good, but they are not durable."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Xiaoer's face suddenly showed an unhappy expression, but he didn't dare to offend the guest, so he held back and asked in a somewhat blunt tone: "Miss, these shoes are made of the best silk and satin. , made of the finest embroidery workmanship, the soles of the shoes are soft and wear-resistant, how can Miss say that they are not durable?"

Before Rong Lanxue could speak, Yupan and Lianxiang had already stepped forward, rushing to the front and scolding: "Bold Xiao Er, how dare you speak to our young lady in such a tone!"

The shopkeeper over there hastily came over, and while smiling apologetically, he pulled Xiao Er aside, "Miss, Xiao Er's words are poor, please forgive me."

Rong Lanxue cast a reproachful glance at her two servant girls, "You all step back first."

"Yes!" Yupan and Lianxiang gave Xiaoer a hard look, and took a step back.

Xiao Er had a stubborn temper, although he didn't dare to speak anymore, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Rong Lanxue dissatisfied.Seeing that Xiaoer looked at his lady with such eyes, Yupan was even more angry, and said loudly: "You dare to look at our lady like this, are you afraid that we will send you to the official!" According to the law at that time, if a commoner If you stare straight at the lady like this, you will be sent to the government to have your eyes gouged out.The shopkeeper hurriedly pushed Xiao Er aside.I'm not going to accompany you again in trepidation.

Rong Lanxue was not angry, picked up the shoe, pointed at the high toe cap and said, "Xiao Er, look at the toe cap. If you were wearing it, how would you feel?"

Although Xiaoer is stubborn, he has a deep understanding of the way of making shoes. Hearing what Rong Lanxue said, he couldn't help but look carefully at the toe. Sure enough, the toe was tall and pointed, but the entire sole was only half on the ground. A person wearing shoes can only put half of his feet on the ground, not for those slender ladies and wives, even a strong guy like him can't bear it.

At this moment, Xiao Er blushed with shame, and mumbled: "Miss' words are right, it is Xiao Er's mistake. Xiao Er can't accompany Miss here."

"Hehe, those who don't know are not to blame. I just saw the exquisite workmanship of the big shoe outside the door, but why is there no business in this store?" Yupan, Lianxiang looked around, and sure enough, apart from the three of them, one Neither do customers.

"Well, today's ladies and wives all like that new style of shoes, but our store is a century-old shop that makes traditional shoes, but for a while, there are no new styles. So, in the past Those old customers who have been here have gradually gone to other places." The shopkeeper said, sighing.

"Why don't you invite some embroidery workers who can make new styles?" Rong Lanxue asked in amazement: "Keep improving is the way of doing business. Only by being more innovative can the business be done well."

"Miss is really good words, but my shop is passed down from ancestors, and those embroidery workers are also some old people. They couldn't accept it for a while when they were asked to change their embroidery habits, and my ancestors also set up a Make an oath that unless the embroiderer leaves by himself, he will not be dismissed."

Rong Lanxue nodded, and praised: "The master of the shopkeeper is really a good master with deep affection."

"Thank you, miss." The shopkeeper cupped his hands and thanked.

"Miss, it's getting late, let's go back quickly, otherwise, Mr. Zong San will throw a tantrum again if he doesn't see Miss." Yupan tugged at the corner of Rong Lanxue's clothes and reminded softly.

"Well, shopkeeper, I'll take my leave first." Rong Lanxue said, the shopkeeper hurriedly sent out of the store, and said earnestly: "If miss is free, I hope miss will come over often and give advice to the shop."

"Well, I will, shopkeeper, please come back." Rong Lanxue listened to the shopkeeper's words, thought for a while, and replied.
