honest? It is strange that anyone should say that I am honest. Lin Wanrong was so happy that he wanted to laugh, and read the letter back and forth several times. There was neither a title nor a signature, but he didn't know who wrote it. The only thing he was sure of was that it was written by a woman.
He didn't know many women in Jinling City, and even fewer could write such a letter. He thought about it for a while, and his heart lit up. It couldn't be her, could it? Hehe, this is very interesting.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yuruo came to call him early, and the two of them discussed with the stewards how to expand after taking over Tao's store.
The operating scale of Taojiabuzhuang is only slightly smaller than that of Xiaojia. With this annexation, the scale of Xiaojiabuzhuang has been greatly improved, and it is already a giant that no one can match in Dahua. Of course, the profits of the silk and satin business are getting thinner and thinner, and this is no longer the focus of the Xiao family at this stage. The popularity of perfume and soap made everyone from Mrs. Xiao, the eldest lady, and all the servants of the Xiao family full of confidence in the future of the Xiao family.
Perfume and soap can be said to be a monopoly business. Due to the limitation of supply, it is only practiced in the three nearby provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. When the output catches up next year, it will rapidly expand to more than ten provinces across the country, and the situation will be even more spectacular. Under such circumstances, the eldest lady became more and more yearning for the upcoming trip to the capital. Lin Wanrong had already mentioned it to her several times. She planned to leave for Beijing on the third day of the new year after the new year.
Lin Wanrong naturally had no objection, the only thing he was worried about was that little girl Qiaoqiao.
When Dong Qingshan came, Lin Wanrong had just finished discussing with the eldest lady, Qingshan excitedly pulled him back and said, "Brother, we have received the restaurant by the Qinhuai River."
Needless to say, you guys belong to the underworld. No matter how black that guy is, can he blacken you? Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Have you encountered any trouble?"
Qingshan said: "It's a little troublesome. This guy climbed up Cheng Ruinian's high branch from nowhere. When we went, he was still very arrogant, shouting what about Mr. Cheng, what about Heilong. Later, Beidou In a fit of rage, he took a bench and smashed his leg, that kid was so frightened on the spot that he didn't even dare to fart, so he obediently packed up his things and left."
This is what the underworld eats. Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Then you should pay special attention to the movements of the Black Dragon Society and Wu Zhenghu these few days. It's the end of the year, and things are not peaceful. Everyone is looking forward to getting a vote to celebrate the New Year."
Dong Qingshan snorted and said, "It's not sure who is messing with who?"
Lin Wanrong said: "Where's Xiao Luo? Is his father at home these few days? I have something to ask Lao Luo."
Dong Qingshan said: "I'm afraid Xiao Luo won't be able to come today. Miss Luo seemed to have something happened yesterday. After returning home, she cried for a long time. No one could persuade her. Later, she developed a high fever and kept talking nonsense until dawn. I haven't woken up yet. It just so happens that Mrs. Luo has not been in the mansion for the past few days, and Xiao Luo is worried about Miss Luo, so she is watching her at home."
Lin Wanrong was startled and said, "What happened to Miss Luo? Wasn't she fine yesterday? Why did she get sick?"
Dong Qingshan said: "Xiao Luo didn't make it clear when he sent someone to deliver the letter in the morning, and I don't know what happened. But seeing his family's anxious appearance, I think he must be seriously ill. By the way, brother, you yesterday Didn't you go out to play with Miss Luo? What happened? Miss Luo is such a cheerful person, why did she become like this? "
Lin Wanrong thought about Luo Ning's demeanor yesterday. Her concern for herself is not fake, but her respect for her mentor is also true. Perhaps the old woman surnamed Mei blamed her. She stood between herself and her mentor, and it was understandable that she was in a dilemma. Thinking of this, Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "Maybe it has something to do with her teacher, I can't say anything about it."
Dong Qingshan said: "Miss Luo is such a good person, if I knew who bullied her, I would definitely not be able to spare this bastard, and I would definitely beat him to the ground."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "I'll beat you up together. Sigh, why haven't you seen Master Luo all this time?"
Dong Qingshan hummed: "Xiao Luo hasn't seen Master Luo for several days. But I heard from him that Master Luo often does this. Thinking about it, it's understandable that he is so busy when he is such a big official. Let’s talk about our Hong Xing, now nearly a thousand brothers, eating, drinking, and playing every day, which also makes me and Xiao Luo very busy, not to mention that Lord Luo is the head of a province, and there are thousands of yamen servants and errands after him. He wants to eat at the public house, and it is even more difficult for him to manage so many people's daily eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking."
Lin Wanrong laughed, what a green mountain, his words are rough and not rough, and he has a lot of insight. When he thought of Luo Ning's illness, he felt strange, she was still such a beautiful person yesterday, how can she get sick after being ill.
He has a good relationship with Luo Ning, and he should have visited here, but he was afraid of meeting that annoying old lady Mei in Luo's mansion, which would make Luo Ning even more embarrassed.
Lin Wanrong hesitated for a while, then said to Qing Shan, "Have Qiaoqiao visited Miss Luo?"
Qingshan shook his head: "When Xiaoluo sent someone to deliver the letter in the morning, my sister had already gone to the new restaurant in the Confucius Temple to arrange the decoration, but if she knew, she would definitely go there immediately."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Qingshan, go to Luo's house and help me find out if Miss Luo's teacher surnamed Mei lives in her house."
"Okay, I'll go right away, big brother, what's wrong with Teacher Namei?" Qing Shan nodded.
Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly: "This is a long story. You just go and find out. In addition, let Xiao Luo take good care of her sister, and I will go to see Miss Luo later."
Seeing the back of Qingshan going away, Lin Wanrong sighed softly. Although some of Luo Ning's ideas were a bit unrealistic, she was indeed a girl with pursuit. This girl, it's not true that she got mad because of what happened yesterday, then I'm guilty.
Lao Luo didn't know where he went, and he couldn't find anyone for a few days. The time Lin Wanrong stayed in Jinling became shorter and shorter, and his consumption was reduced by one day. If Cheng De's matter could not be resolved, it would be tantamount to leaving a hidden danger, threatening Qiaoqiao and Lao Dong's family, which Lin Wanrong would never allow to see.
He couldn't help becoming anxious. That old man Xu Wei who was elusive and haunted didn't know what he was up to. Mie Bailian didn't see any movement, and there was no sound in the quiet Jiangsu officialdom. What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd
Lin Wanrong was a little distracted thinking about it, kicked a small stone and landed in the lake in the garden, stirring up a small wave, but heard a chuckle of "puchi", and a pleasant voice came in his ears.
"Second Miss, you've figured it out." Lin Wanrong immediately became happy when he saw that pure and shy face. A few days ago Xiao Yushuang entered the meditation room, saying that it was the last few days of praying, she must be sincere, and no one should disturb her, so she hadn't seen her for several days. Seeing her smiling face suddenly at this moment, why not let Lin Wanrong smile happily.
Xiao Yushuang pouted and said, "I've been standing by your side for a long while, but I haven't seen you look at me. Are you thinking of others?"
The second lady's eyes are really poisonous, I'm really thinking about Luo Ning, Lin Wanrong is sweating profusely, this delicate little Yushuang is tending to move closer to her sister.
"How can I think about others?" Lin Wanrong smiled without blinking: "I'm worried. I haven't seen Yushuang in the past few days, so I believe it tightly."
"Really?" Xiao Yushuang looked at him with a smile on her face, a deep joy flashed in her eyes, and said shyly, "Then why haven't you come to see me these few days?"
Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl is the best coaxer. Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly took her little hand and said, "I want to see you every day, but the eldest lady said, you must be sincere in your heart during the last few days of praying, and no one can disturb you. After making ten thousand resolutions, I couldn't hold back from seeing you."
The little girl's face was hot when she heard it, and she said shyly: "Other people visit me, it is naturally disturbing, you go to visit me, I am very happy in my heart, and pray for blessings more sincerely. You villain, there must be someone outside, and you will be able to see me." Forget about my—"
Damn, isn't this chick hiding in the room and reading romance novels again? She can say such seductive words. The second lady glanced at him and said quietly: "You villain, I don't know where you were born. In the meditation room, thinking about you every day is tormenting people to death. Even if you don’t miss me, I still think about you every day.”
Improvement, this chick's love story has improved again, Lin Wanrong felt emotional in his heart, and tentatively said: "Second Miss, what did you just say that I have someone outside?"
Xiao Yushuang hummed and said: "You are a very bad person. You bullied me like that that day. Who knows if you still bully others outside? If you bully others, wouldn't it mean that there are people outside?"
Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely, this kid's logic is really simple, but it is also quite practical. The second lady leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Sister said, you men just want to bully our women and tell me to guard against you, but I No one wants to guard against you. Even if you have someone outside, I will miss you every day, miss you every day. My mother said, the first time of our women is the most precious, and we must stick to it until the end. If it's like you, who else can you follow if you don't follow?"
I'm like you, Lin Wanrong yelled in his heart, didn't he just kiss, hold hands, and spank, it's still far from that. But seeing the little girl's flushed face, he couldn't say such beastly words anyway—all turned into practical actions.
He gently embraced the slender waist of the second young lady into his arms, Xiao Yushuang groaned, and snuggled her tender body into his arms.
Lin Wanrong kissed her little earlobe lightly, and was about to move further, but saw San De running over from a distance and said: "Third brother, third brother, please, the governor-"
