The person who also noticed the Shen family's carriage passing by was Qi Zheng. He was drinking tea at the window of the Shangpin Building. Opposite him was a young man wearing a sapphire blue shirt with purple and gold flowers on it. The young man was talking After Jee said this, Qi Zheng stared absently at the carriage going away.
"Hey, surnamed Qi, what are you looking at? Are you listening to me?" The young man was unhappy, and shouted angrily to make Qi Zheng turn his eyes back to himself.
Qi Zheng glanced at him lightly, "I understand what you said."
"Understood? Do you agree?" the young man asked.
"I disagree." Qi Zheng was absent-minded, what would that silly girl do? I haven't seen her for several days, and I heard that she has got her dowry back, so I must be thinking about something right now.
The young man was angry, and almost slapped the table and stood up, "What's wrong with my sister? She is educated, reasonable, gentle and virtuous, how many sons come to ask to marry my father and still refuse to agree, I am now because you saved me, why don't you marry me?" Do you dare to disagree?"
"Master, even if your sister is so nice, I don't like it." Qi Zheng looked straight at the young man with dark eyes, and his deep and hoarse voice was indescribably determined.
This young man is the second son of Lord Zhen Guo, and also the only legitimate son. His name is Gu Feiyang. He is now the eldest son of Lord Zhen Guo. By chance, Qi Zheng rescued him who was almost injured by a wild beast in the hunting ground. , he regarded Qi Zheng as his benefactor, and he also regarded him as a brother.
Gu Feiyang's younger sister is a gentle and virtuous lady from all over the capital, but she didn't expect Qi Zheng to look down on her.
"Where is my sister not worthy of you?" Gu Fei Yangjun blushed, and this was the first time someone said he didn't like his sister.
Qi Zheng glanced at the direction the carriage was leaving again, "It's because I'm not good enough for your sister."
The group of uncles on the side were in a hurry, the eldest lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion, how many people want to marry home, why is the young master not at all tempted
the most important. If Eldest Young Master marries Eldest Miss Gu, then the position of heir must be in his pocket.
Gu Feiyang seemed to have a tacit understanding with the uncles, "You married my sister, and you are the eldest son of An Guogong's mansion. How can your stepmother fight with you?"
With the government of the town to help him, what is the little Gu family
Qi Zheng smiled lightly and said nothing, he didn't need a woman to fight for the position of son for him.
What's more, he doesn't even bother to be a prince.
"Feiyang, my heart belongs to me." He picked up the teacup and covered the faint smile that unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth. There was a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
Gu Feiyang was surprised, and the uncles were also shocked. He didn't know when the young master had a girl he liked.
"You... which girl do you like?" Gu Feiyang asked.
Qi Zheng lowered his eyes. "A silly girl."
Gu Feiyang looked at Qi Zheng in a daze. When others thought Qi Zheng was a fool before, only he knew that this guy was pretending to be stupid. In fact, he had a cold and firm personality, and his thoughts were so deep that people could never see through him. people who think about something.
He actually said that he has his own heart...
"Who is it?" Gu Feiyang asked in a daze. Who else is better than his sister
Qi Zheng stood up suddenly, he was about to leave the capital, instead of thinking about that silly girl here, he might as well say goodbye to her, "Thank you for your practice, I'll go first."
Gu Feiyang let out a cry. This dish is not ready yet.
Qi Zheng didn't seem to hear his words, he had already walked out of the box.
When she came out, she saw Sheng Peiyin talking to a man in dark gray clothes. Qi Zheng just glanced at her indifferently, and walked out of Shangpin Building boldly.
Shen Ziqiao came to the biggest shop. Besides patrolling the shop today, she also wanted to meet Liang Jianhai.
This person was cultivated by Pan Shi, but he betrayed her after Pan Shi passed away. He took refuge in the old woman and managed the two shops left by the Pan family for the old woman.
She always feels. Pan is a very smart woman, and she has a strong ability to train her subordinates, just like Mrs. Meng and shopkeeper Fan. It is not easy for them to be loyal to her for ten years.
Did Liang Jianhai really betray Pan
She remembered that when there was a disturbance at Mipu last time, Shopkeeper Fan told her quietly that Liang Jianhai was not easy.
Shopkeeper Fan and Liang Jianhai have been working together for many years, and he should be the one who knows Liang Jianhai best. He said that Liang Jianhai is not easy, and it should be because he knows some unknown secrets.
"Ms. Meng, which shop does Liang Jianhai work in?" Shen Ziqiao asked, she wanted to meet this person in person.
For Liang Jianhai, Mrs. Meng was resentful. When she heard that Shen Ziqiao wanted to see Liang Jianhai, she pouted, "Miss San, what are you doing seeing him, an ungrateful villain."
"Maybe he has a reason." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile.
"What reasons does he have?" Mrs. Meng seemed to have been stepped on a sore spot, "How come shopkeeper Fan has no reasons, but he has reasons, I don't believe it, he must have no good intentions."
Shen Ziqiao covered her mouth and laughed, "If this Liang Jianhai is not good, why did you like Mrs. Meng in the first place? If my mother hadn't died of illness, maybe I should call you the Liang family now."
Lady Meng blushed, twitched for a while and cursed, "I was blind at the beginning!"
"Okay, okay, don't scold yourself, go and listen to what Liang Jianhai has to say." Shen Ziqiao laughed.
The carriage stopped at the intersection of East Avenue, Hongying supported Shen Ziqiao's hand and stepped on the foot to get off the carriage. These are the two largest shops left by Pan's.
One is in the rouge and gouache business, and the other is in the liquor business, which are the best businesses in the same industry in Beijing.
The two shops are facing each other, and now the shops are full of customers.
"Miss San." A thin middle-aged man came with his head bowed. This man was wearing a stone-blue straight gown, and his clothes seemed a little loose, making him even thinner when hanging on his body.
Shen Ziqiao raised her eyes to look at him, and seeing that he seemed to be respectful but also guilty, she guessed who this person was.
"Treasurer Liang?" She looked at him with a smile.
Lady Meng snorted softly behind her, strongly expressing her disdain for Liang Jianhai.
"Miss San, it's cold outside, let's talk inside." Liang Jianhai pretended not to hear Lady Meng's dissatisfaction with him, and respectfully invited Shen Ziqiao into the shop.
Shen Ziqiao nodded with a smile, and followed Liang Jianhai into a shop selling rouge and gouache. Behind the shop was a small courtyard, where pomegranates and wisterias were planted.
They sat down in the small living room, looking straight ahead, it was the courtyard that had already been dyed in autumn clothes.
"It's really nice here." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile.
Liang Jianhai replied in a low voice, "Madam likes to sit here and read the account books every time she visited the store."
"You still have heart for my mother." Shen Ziqiao took a sip of tea and looked at Liang Jianhai with great interest, but he couldn't tell that this person was a sophomore.
Lady Meng stared blankly at the pomegranate in the courtyard, which had already grown fruit, "Madam planted it herself."
"The pomegranate fruit is ready to be picked, Miss San wants to try it." Liang Jianhai asked in a low voice.
Shen Ziqiao's eyes lit up, "Okay."
Liang Jianhai seemed to have already made preparations, and soon sent someone to bring the peeled pomegranate.
Crystal clear as ruby, full and juicy.
"Liang Jianhai, hasn't the old lady been looking for you these two days?" Shen Ziqiao asked him casually while eating a pomegranate.
Liang Jianhai froze, and the smile on his face became embarrassed and guilty, "Go back to Miss San, the old lady has never found a young one."
"That's because these shops are all returned to the third lady now, why is the old lady still looking for you bastard?" Mrs. Meng said sarcastically.
"I..." Liang Jianhai gave Ms. Meng a bitter look, and bowed his head in silence.
Shen Ziqiao wiped her fingers with a silk handkerchief, and glanced at Liang Jianhai with a smile, "Before I came, I read the account books of these shops for ten years, and the business is not much different from when my mother was alive, and the shop assistants are not too many. The change is all thanks to you."
Liang Jianhai suddenly looked up at Shen Ziqiao, wondering if what he heard was true.
"Treasurer Fan said it was not easy for you, and I also think it is not easy for you. Tell me, have you ever really betrayed my mother and me in the past ten years?" Shen Ziqiao raised her face and looked at Liang Jianhai seriously. She believed that if Liang Jianhai was just as unwilling to obey the old lady as Shopkeeper Fan at the beginning, and these shops will definitely be defeated by the old lady's people.
Just look at Mama Li's nephew.
Does she believe what he says? Liang Jianhai looked at her suspiciously.
That's what Shen Ziqiao's expression meant.
"Miss San, I have never betrayed my wife." Liang Jianhai raised his head, without any guilt or guilt. Even if no one understood his loyalty to his wife, he would have no regrets.
Lady Meng scolded, "You can say it out loud, do you mean you haven't betrayed Madam?"
"I believe in you." Shen Ziqiao said, "That's how it is, I will go to Dongyue in a few days, and the shop in the capital wants you to watch over it with Shopkeeper Fan."
that's all? No question
Is this the Third Miss he knows? Liang Jianhai looked at the little girl in front of him suspiciously, his bright eyes were full of trust in him, just like his previous wife.
It was said that the third lady had changed. He had always been skeptical about the letter, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Miss San, how can you leave it to him?" Mrs. Meng strongly objected, for fear that Liang Jianhai would betray Shen Ziqiao.
"Ms. Meng, you know Liang Jianhai better than I do. Do you really think he is someone who will betray my mother? After so many years, if he really wants to betray my mother to get more benefits, why should he stay here, old lady It’s not very good for him, he’s still just a shopkeeper after ten years, and he doesn’t have much money.”
With Liang Jianhai's ability, where would he not be reused, and need to look at the old woman's face in the Shen family
Lady Meng was silent. When she knew that Liang Jianhai had betrayed his wife, she really didn't believe it.
Madam was the most important person in her lifetime.
Without his wife, Liang Jianhai would not know where to work as a coolie.
"Thank you Miss San!" Liang Jianhai suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times.
