He Hua curled her lips at him, sewed the last few stitches, cut the threads with scissors, folded the clothes and put them aside and said, "Did the book come out silently?"
"That's natural." Qi Jintang said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could I have come out so early? I just saw the servant leading you in through the window of the study room. Are you in a hurry to go back tonight? Don't skip the word.
"If nothing happens, I will go back naturally," Hehua stood up and said,
"There has been a market every night in the south of the city since the beginning of August, and there are many jugglers and the like. It will be lively until August 15th. If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can go and join in the fun at night."
He Hua's heart was moved when he was told this. After being here for so long, he had never visited a place similar to a temple fair. But this matter had to be discussed with Zhu Yongxin. She was not in a good position herself. Chapter 173 Sun Jianyu accepted the treat directly. As the two were talking, Bo Rong also came back from the school and said as he entered the door: "Why? Just you?"
"Dad went out to smoke. I happened to see that your clothes were frayed, so I helped you mend them." He Hua reached out and patted her clothes. She deliberately placed the purse at the top, wanting to see Bo Rong. Reaction.
"Last time I went home, I wanted to take it back and let my mother sew it up, but I completely forgot about it. It would save you trouble if you sew it up." Bo Rong's face showed no signs of discomfort, and he stepped aside to make way for Qi Jintang. After taking a seat, he also sat down and took two fruits that Hehua had washed, handed one to Qi Jintang, and then asked Hehua, "What's the matter with you and dad coming to the city today?"
He Hua hesitated for a moment and felt that Qi Jintang was not an outsider, so he briefly told the story about Bipizhai, and then said: "It's just that you don't have suspicions about our family. As for who framed him or was there something between them?" Any conflicts of interest have nothing to do with us."
"Well, if it really doesn't work out, just don't do this business with him next year. When we sell to others openly, he will naturally have nothing to say." Bo Rong felt that shopkeeper Tao was already doing business with his family first. Chapter 173: Sun Jianyu has been entertaining guests for several years, but when something goes wrong, he first suspects his own family. Now he feels very dissatisfied.
He Hua shook his head and said: "In business, it's better to be experienced than to be experienced. Besides, there are many shops in Bapinzhai in the city that do good business and have strong backers. Although Shopkeeper Tao's shop may be excluded among Bapinzhai, But if our family sells things to others, then the store that buys our things will be squeezed out, and the business may be delayed even more. It is better to help shopkeeper Tao overcome this difficulty, and in the future There will definitely be benefits for us."
Qi Jintang nodded when he heard this and said: "It makes sense for He Hua to think like this. If shopkeeper Tao can really get through the difficulties this time, he will naturally remember the benefits of He Hua in the future, and business will be much smoother. If he can't get through this time, your family will You won't lose anything. At worst, you'll just have to find someone else to do business next year, so you don't have to worry about anything." He paused and asked, "Have you never thought about opening a shop of your own to do business? Don't jump. Character.
Hehua smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "My family has no backing and no capital. How can it be so easy to open a shop in the city? And the most important thing for ice water is to store ice. How can my family have the conditions for that?" Go get this?”
Qi Jintang also felt that his proposal was too unfeasible. He shook his head mockingly and said, "It's just that I was talking nonsense."
There was a knock at the door, and Sun Jianyu pushed the door open and said, "What are you talking about in such a tight room?" He looked up and saw He Hua and smiled and said, "Hey, it turns out that He Hua girl has come to the city to play, just in time. I want to go to the night market with Brother Borong and Jintang today, do you want to go too?"
Hehua felt even more excited after hearing this, but she still didn't respond. She just said: "I have to ask my father first, and if I stay tonight, I'm afraid my family will be anxious..."
"What's the problem? Just find someone to send a message back. The school also has guest rooms. It's not difficult for you to stay for one night. I'll just go and tell you." Sun Jianyu said nonchalantly. Due to his status, even the government officials in the city have to be polite, let alone such a trivial matter as staying overnight in the academy.
Seeing He Hua's expression of wanting to go, Bo Rong smiled and patted her and said, "I'll tell dad for you. Several classmates went there to play yesterday. They came back and said it was very lively. I'm thinking about it too." I’m going to take a look.”
Although Zhu Yongxin should have agreed if he asked, Hehua always felt that it was not as appropriate as Bo Rong to say it. Seeing him take the initiative to agree, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, and he said with a crooked smile: "Thank you very much, brother. "
As they were talking, Zhu Yongxin happened to come in with a cigarette bag. Seeing so many people in the room, he said: "Hehua, I've come to see your elder brother too. Let's go back quickly, so as not to rush away in vain, and don't delay your elder brother's studies." ."
"Dad, we are going to go to the night market tonight. The city is very lively during the ten days from the beginning of August to August 15th every year. I just said that I would take Hehua with me. You can stay overnight in the academy tonight. In the evening, it will be more comfortable to walk tomorrow morning when the sun is not too harsh." Bo Rong said first, "And maybe you haven't been to the city for a long time. When I went to see my father-in-law a few days ago, he was still talking about you. , since I’m here this time, I might as well bring some food and wine over to talk to him. Although I often go there, he is really lonely at home alone.”
Zhu Yongxin wanted to object, but when he heard what Borong said, he also felt that since he had come once, it would not be a good idea not to visit his parents-in-law. After returning, his wife would inevitably have ideas, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then I will directly Just buy some food and drinks and go there. There are a lot of people at the night market, so you should bring less money and be sure to take good care of the lotus flowers, you know?"
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the lotus." Bo Rong promised.
Sun Jianyu also said: "Second uncle, don't worry, I have a servant with me, nothing will happen."
Zhu Yongxin felt relieved, got up and left first.
Hehua waited for him to go far before she said with a smile: "Brother, you are getting more and more crazy now. You can still come up with such an excuse to drive dad away."
Bo Rong blinked and said: "What I said is the truth, how can it be called an excuse?"
Sun Jianyu was the most positive. Seeing that Zhu Yongxin had left, he jumped up and patted Bo Rong on the shoulder, and said loudly: "No matter whether it is the truth or an excuse, it is still early. Let's pack up and change clothes." Yes, I’ll treat you later and let’s go out to eat. Last time we had a meal here with lotus flowers, so now I have to pay it forward.”
The three of them had changed their clothes. At this time, the sun had begun to set. As they walked out together, Hehua noticed that the other students had turned away from each other and did not come forward or greet them. She couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking that Sun Jianyu's family was powerful in the city, and Qi Jintang's father was also an official. It was not a bad thing for his brother to get involved with them, but for this reason, he might be ostracized and crowded out by other students.
But it was hard to say anything at this moment, so I cheered up and followed them to the lively places in the city. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was the time when new wines were launched every year. Brand-new wine flags were hung at the doors of every wine shop in the city. , the flagpole is decorated with colorful paintings, and the flag is painted with drunken immortals. It is very lively and beautiful when it is fluttered in the wind.
Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, a large number of melons and fruits are on the market. Along the way, pomegranates, quinces, pears, dates, grapes and tangerines can be seen everywhere. There are endless cries, and some are clean and simple girls, carrying wicker baskets. The hawking voice is clear and pleasant, and the white plain hands against the colorful fruits are even more pleasing to the eye, and the business will naturally be much better.
Since Sun Jianyu said he wanted to treat guests to dinner, he naturally couldn't go to a small stall or shop. He found a restaurant on the third floor and invited a few people to come in. The waiter at the door immediately came out and said, "Master Sun hasn't been here for a long time. Hurry inside." Please, please come and try the new wine and crabs in our store."
"Okay, it's still the same place on the second floor. No one occupies it, right?" Sun Jianyu saw that he was a regular visitor here, so he walked inside as he was familiar with the place.
"Of course no one is occupying it. Please come in and I'll help you order in a moment." The waiter bowed and ushered a few people in, then quickly ran to the counter and came up to the room after a while. , distributed warm towels to several people to wipe their hands and faces, and then nodded and bowed and asked: "I wonder what the gentlemen and this girl would like to drink?"
"Of course, eating crabs should be paired with rice wine, but He Hua is still young, so I'd better give her a pot of ginger tea." Sun Jianyu was very knowledgeable, so he was not polite and ordered the dish directly, "You Since there are new crabs here, let’s steam a few, let your master cook a few more, and finally serve crab meatball soup. For the rest of the dishes, are there any new dishes recently?”
"Back to Mr. Sun, our master's new method of peeling and steaming crabs is very good. He peels the fresh crabs, removes the meat and yellows, but still puts them in the shell, and then puts them in raw eggs. Steamed and cooked, it looks like a whole crab when served, but with all the claws and feet removed, which saves the young men and girls the trouble of peeling it by hand."
Sun Jianyu nodded and said: "It sounds good, so I'll try this. For the rest, I'll have shrimp oil tofu, fried quail with three fresh bamboo shoots, red silk crystal wonton and braised wild rice." Then he turned to Hehua and said, " The lactose mint honey and two-color fragrant lotus root in this store are both very good. I’ll order them for you to try.” Finally, he said, “A plate of Osmanthus Poria Cake and a plate of three-layer Jade Belt Cake.”
Seeing that he had arranged everything by himself, Hehua originally wanted to say that it was too much for just four people, but seeing that Qi Jintang and Bo Rong seemed to be used to this, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
