"Aren't you cold?" Hua Qingxue took out his big hand and put it up, but unexpectedly found that it was very warm.
"Sure enough, a man's physique is very different from a woman's. My palms can't be as warm as yours even though I'm wearing something so thick." Hua Qingxue sighed. She originally thought about making him a down jacket, but she gave up the idea instantly. idea.
"Our Fu family army has been surviving in the harshest environment for many years. This little bit of snow in Shengjing is nothing." Fu Tingye was vaguely proud, holding Hua Qingxue's hand gradually harder, trying to warm her with his own body temperature.
"It's you, why don't you wear more clothes?" Fu Tingye glanced at her. She was covered in cotton clothes, which looked like a lot, but her palms were cold.
Hua Qingxue was a little helpless: "I'm already dressed like a rice dumpling. If I add cotton clothes, I probably won't be able to walk. But don't worry, I've asked Huan'er and Xi'er to prepare duck down. When the down jacket is made, it will be It’s warm and easy to wear.”
"Down jacket?" This is another new concept. This woman knows a lot.
Hua Qingxue smiled lightly: "Yes, you will know when the time comes. In fact, I wanted to make one for you just now, but your physique probably won't use it, so forget it. It also saves a lot of fabric."
Because of its large size, even making a down vest is a waste of fabric.
It's just that these words were so harsh in Fu Tingye's ears.
Not making it for him is just to save fabric! Fabric!
"No! It must be done for me! I want to make two full-body sets!" Fu Tingye said seriously.
Hua Qingxue blinked and nodded dullly: "Just do it, there's no need to be so serious."
"..." Fu Tingye gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm.
The general has a problem...a big problem...
"lady."
Xi'er appeared at the door and looked at them. The atmosphere was a bit strange, but she still pretended to have the courage to ask: "Madam, have you finished talking to the general?"
"Looks like we're done talking, right?" Hua Qingxue glanced at Fu Tingye, and Fu Tingye had a flash of guilt in his eyes: "We're done talking. If you have anything to do with your wife, go and do it."
"Oh." Xi'er's glistening eyes rolled around the two of them, finally settling on Hua Qingxue: "Madam, if you want duck down, we've prepared it."
It feels better so soon. It looks like I can wear a down jacket to the banquet tonight.
Hua Qingxue happily stepped forward and took Xi'er to the house: "How much have you prepared?"
"Madam said the more the merrier, Huan'er and I prepared ten pounds, is that enough?" Xi'er walked beside Hua Qingxue, tilting her head and asking.
Ten kilograms... "Enough! Enough! Ten kilograms can make several pieces." Hua Qingxue felt happy, one for herself and one for Li Jingnan. Luo Muyu just gave birth to a child, so he made one for her, and Fu Tingye Two pieces, that’s about it.
"Have you washed everything? I want something extra clean?" Hua Qingxue asked as she returned to her yard. What she saw was that the entire yard was covered with duck down, covering the floor, which was even worse than the snow on the side. Fluffy and nice.
Huan'er was cleaning up the empty space on the side. There was a big dustpan in her hand, and there was still fluff in it.
"It's unwashed, ma'am, how about Huan'er and I go wash it now?" Xi'er answered from the side.
Hua Qingxue looked up at the sun. Although it was snowing, there was some warm sunshine in the afternoon, so the weather was very good: "Forget it, it's too late today, so I won't wash it. Let's dry it in the yard first. Put it away and wash it tomorrow morning. The air is dry in winter and it will be completely dry after a day in the sun."
"Okay." Xi'er and Huan'er both agreed.
Hua Qingxue pursed her lips, seeing that she was about to give up the idea of wearing a down jacket to the banquet in the evening. The temperature dropped in the evening, and it seemed that she had to wear a large cloak when going out.
She almost imagined herself being wrapped into a bear.
On the path outside the yard, a man walked over in a hurry. He took a closer look and saw that it was Zhao Sheng.
"Madam, are you ready? I have prepared the carriage and can go out at any time." Zhao Sheng came to Hua Qingxue and asked for instructions respectfully.
"What time is it set?" Hua Qingxue looked at him.
Zhao Sheng cupped his hands and said, "Three moments of You hour."
Youshi... converted to five forty-five. Hua Qingxue nodded: "What time is it now?"
"It's a quarter to one hour."
Before I knew it, it was already afternoon. Hua Qingxue looked at the cotton-padded jacket she was wearing, raised her head and asked Zhao Sheng, "Do you think my outfit is suitable? Do I need to change?"
Zhao Sheng looked up and down and nodded: "Madam's cotton-padded jacket must have been made by two girls. Although it is hand-made with needlework, the style is the popular style in Shengjing nowadays. It is very appropriate and harmless."
Hua Qingxue smiled: "Yes, this is made by Huan'er. It fits well and is comfortable to wear. I don't have much time to go shopping and buy clothes on weekdays, so it's a hard work for this little girl."
Huan'er heard it and laughed from the side: "Thank you, madam, for the compliment. Huan'er actually didn't do anything."
"No, you and Xi'er took good care of me in the daily life, and I'm very grateful." Hua Qingxue returned.
The relationship between the master and the servant is very good, which makes Zhao Sheng a little unexpected.
"Well, let's arrive neither early nor late, almost a quarter of an hour early. This way we won't look arrogant and we can be punctual. And I don't want to go too early and let the other party look down on me." Hua Qingxue thought for a moment. , gave instructions to Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng nodded: "Madam, you are thoughtful."
Hua Qingxue chose to take Xi'er out. Xi'er had a lively temperament and liked to laugh, making the journey more lively.
Huan'er stayed at home to help her take care of the duck down, and by the way, she prepared a small heater for Hua Qingxue when she went out, which was careful and considerate.
The wheels of the carriage made a dull sound as they pressed against the snow. The snow was slippery, so the driver drove slowly, but in just the right time.
A famous hotel in Shengjing, the archway of Sifang Pavilion is very grand. The layout of the foyer can be as high as two floors of other people's homes. Under the gradually settling night, the two lantern walls on the door pillars are very dazzling, as if they light up the entire night. A patch of yellow and orange covered half of the sky from a distance.
"Mrs. Si Bing is here." There was a doorman waiting at the door early. When he saw Hua Qingxue's carriage, he immediately announced it.
Hua Qingxue jumped out of the carriage and was slightly surprised: "Do all these people know me?"
Zhao Sheng supported her hand at the side: "The boss of Sifang Pavilion trains his subordinates to see all directions and listen to all directions. Guests who come to their home for dinner must prepare enough homework in advance, and they must give people a feeling of being at home. emotion."
"Excellent at doing business." Hua Qingxue sighed, but immediately saw a flash of loneliness on Zhao Sheng's face, and quickly said: "But compared to you, Butler Zhao, you are still far behind."
Zhao Sheng laughed: "Thank you, madam."
Hua Qingxue smiled and followed Zhao Sheng into the building. She immediately felt the warm heat coming from the pavement. The entrance was a stone wall barrier. After going around, there was a rockery and flowing water in the main hall. Various toads were squatting or jumping in the water. The sculptures were lifelike. , giving people a hint of coolness.
Behind the rockery and flowing water is a patio, with various escalators lining the patio. The guest rooms of the restaurant are on the first floor, decorated with flowers and antiques, as if you are entering the home of an art master rather than a restaurant.
"How should we go?" Hua Qingxue hesitated and turned to look at Zhao Sheng. Before Zhao Sheng could answer, the hotel boy on the side had already come to greet him: "Mrs. Si Bing, please come this way. Mr. Tang Yu is already on the second floor. The Pearl Hall is waiting.”
Hua Qingxue nodded and followed him, but subconsciously raised her head and looked over. Somewhere on the second floor, the light flickered, as if there was a handsome young man standing there.
An ink-and-wash gown sets off the person's handsomeness, fair complexion, and his eyes are more like a handsome man coming out of an ink-and-wash painting. He has a hazy sense of beauty that makes people unable to see clearly his heart, which is three points melancholy and seven points. Clarity.
It’s true that Mo Shang’s people are like jade, and his young master is unparalleled in the world.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but take a breath. Apart from Fu Tingye, this was the second man she had seen so handsome after coming to Qi for so long.
This kind of person would cause traffic jams if left on the street.
"The one standing there is not Mr. Tang Yu whom I want to meet tonight, right?" Hua Qingxue followed the boy into the stairwell and then asked softly.
The boy in front of him turned around and replied respectfully: "Yes, madam, Mr. Tang Yu wants to wait for his wife outside."
…It’s actually true.
Hua Qingxue didn't have any expected judgment about Mr. Tang Yu, but she didn't expect that the all-powerful figure Zhao Sheng mentioned was not three-headed and six-armed, or even a little "delicate"
No, no, no, he is a man who is as elegant as an immortal.
"Mrs. Si Bing."
After Hua Qingxue approached, Tang Yu greeted her with a raised hand. His pleasant voice was as refreshing as silk and bamboo.
Hua Qingxue also returned the greeting: "I have met Mr. Tang Yu."
"Madam, you're welcome. The world respects me and gives me the nickname Mr. Tang Yu. Madam, you don't have to call me like that, just call me Yu." Tang Yu smiled, like the ripples of autumn water, giving people a cold and pure feeling.
Hua Qingxue pursed her lips: "Okay."
Tang Yu stretched out his hand and asked Hua Qingxue to go into the private room. Hua Qingxue did not delay and walked in generously. It was said to be a private room, but it was actually a suite. The living room was a place for conversation. There were complete tables and chairs, and the inner room had Behind the screen of landscape paintings, the aroma of food is already reaching your nostrils.
Compared with having two people by his side, Tang Yu didn't even have a servant by his side, which felt very refreshing.
"Should we eat first or talk first?" Hua Qingxue turned around and asked.
The ancients emphasized eating without talking or sleeping, so eating and talking would not happen at the same time.
Tang Yu looked at her quietly and smiled lightly: "It's okay."
"Then let's talk about things first." The other party was polite, and Hua Qingxue relaxed a lot. Since the main purpose of tonight is to talk about cooperation, why not finalize the cooperation first and avoid being distracted by food? disturbed.
