Zhao Di was standing at the counter. She was wearing a pink beaded double-luan patterned cross-collar and narrow-sleeved shorts, twelve pomegranate skirts, a simple round bun, and a Wangji flower shop at the back of her head. Pale gold parquet silk flowers.
This silk flower is a new style of Wangji Flower Square. It is no longer limited to one big flower, but a patchwork of several. Or silver blue, light pink, or crimson, put together, it is lined with golden leaves and golden branches as thin as cicada wings, which is exquisite and elegant.
Nowadays, Wangji Huafang does not only make cheap silk flowers, but goes hand in hand with high and low. The cheap one is more than one hundred yuan, and the expensive one is dozens of taels of silver. There are cheap ways to sell cheap products, and expensive ways to sell them. For example, the flowers of Wangji Flower Square are very popular in the Western world, and even the barbarians come to buy them and ship them back to women in Western countries, which are very popular.
And Mr. Roberts in front of him is one of those Western maritime merchants.
Now, Zhao'er was running outside about the Tailong ticket number, and even Gao Sheng, Jiang Wu, and Xue Qinghuai were scattered. No one was watching the business here in Dinghai, so she volunteered. Zhao Di has also been in business for a long time before, which is not difficult for her.
That is, there are more people to deal with, including many barbarians.
When Zhao Di first arrived in Dinghai City, she was afraid to see the Western merchants, but after watching it for a long time, she could take it as normal. In fact, there is no difference between Yi people and Dachang people, but there are some differences in hair color and eyeballs. They also speak Chinese, because they mainly deal with businessmen in Dachang, and they can't understand Mandarin, but they have a strange accent, which makes people's ears hurt.
Zhao Di rubbed her ears, feeling a little helpless to the Western man in front of her.
Oh, yes, Western men are also very enthusiastic. At first, Zhao Di also ordered someone to beat up a few wild Western men. Later, she realized that it was a misunderstanding. This is the custom in their own country. Their emotions are very exposed. .
Zhao Di even secretly thought about whether Western women are ugly, so she can't open her eyes when she sees a Dachang woman.
"Mr. Roberts, I'm just telling the truth. Look at your business. You should have shipped the goods back to your Western countries. Why did you stay in Dinghai? Don't you have a business?"
"My dear Di, I will stay here until now, not for you! I fell in love with you at first sight, and I will never part with you again. I swear I will marry you and make you my wife." The blond and blue-eyed Roberts said while holding his heart , holding a bouquet of flowers in the other hand.
There are rare flowers along the coast, especially when the seasons are out of season. In order to get this bunch of 'flowers', Roberts still put a lot of effort into it, but unfortunately this flower has been regarded by Zhao Di as badly.
In fact, it is also true that Zhao Di's own flower sales business, although all of them are fake flowers, can pick any flower that is more beautiful than these shrunken 'flowers', no wonder she doesn't like it.
"But I already have a child. I'm not telling you that I'm a widow." Zhao Di said helplessly.
"The widow you're talking about is the woman whose husband died? In us, it doesn't matter if you are a widow, as long as two people truly love each other, even God can't stop it. I don't care if you are a widow, and I don't care either. You have a son, and I will treat your son as my own."
"But I don't... take your hands away, don't move your feet..." But Roberts was so excited that he grabbed Zhao Di's hand and said.
"My dear Di, just promise me, you are so beautiful, like that... ah..."
For the rest, he was punched back in the stomach.
Roberts covered his face and cried out in pain: "Oh my god, who is this... ah..." But he was beaten on the stomach in a circle, so he could only cover his stomach and scream in pain.
"I let you, a dead barbarian, molest a good woman!"
"What are you doing! Ah, Shen Ping, why are you here!" Zhao Di didn't watch out for such a thing, and was taken aback, only to find that the person who hit Roberts was Shen Ping.
"I..." Shen Ping hesitated for a moment before he said, "Don't worry about this for now, find someone to report to the official and arrest this barbarian. He actually dares to molest a good woman in broad daylight."
"You only molested a good woman. Di and I really love each other. You are so rude, where did you come from, and I want to report to the officials to arrest you!" Roberts stood up clutching his stomach and vomited a mouthful of blood waterway. He used to be personable, but now his left face is red and swollen, which is enough to prove how much effort Shen Ping used.
Hearing this, Shen Ping looked at Zhao Di and then at Roberts.
Although Roberts spoke Chinese in a strange tone, he could still understand what he meant.
Zhao Di's face froze, and she didn't care to say anything. Instead, she pretended to be concerned and asked Roberts if she was okay. In any case, Roberts was injured by Shen Ping. Although Dinghai City protects the people from Dachang, it also protects the barbarians who came to do business. If Roberts reported to the Shibo Division, Shen Ping would be in trouble.
"My Di, you still love me, look how concerned you are for me."
"No, Mr. Roberts, I only care about you because you were beaten, and the person who beat you was my relative. But please don't hold him accountable. He thought you were being rude to me. I will hit you. Speaking of which, Mr. Roberts, I told you a long time ago that the customs of our Dachang are different from those of yours in the West. Men and women do not kiss each other, so please pay more attention in the future."
"Oh my Di, I just can't help it for a while, can't you understand my heart?"
Zhao Di interrupted: "Mr. Roberts, I think your injury is not serious, so let the man accompany you to the hospital to have a look. This doctor's money will be paid by my Tailong business. Chengzi, you take Mr. Roberts to the doctor's office. Look."
A guy standing next to him said, "Mr. Roberts, I will accompany you to the hospital."
Roberts looked at Zhao Di, and then at Shen Ping, who was on the side, and then said: "My Di, I can't bear to make you worry, I'll just go and see for myself. I'll go first, and I'll see you tomorrow. "
After speaking, he smiled at Shen Ping with a graceful demeanor, and nodded to Zhao Di before walking out of Tailong Firm with his back straight.
It can be seen that he still wants to show his gentlemanly demeanor in front of Zhao Di, that is, the walk is a little reluctant, and if there is no bruised face on the side, it must be more convincing.
After this scene, Shen Ping also knew that he was reckless. This person is not a disciple of Dengzi, but seems to be courting like Zhao Di
Looking at Zhao Di's flowery face, and looking at the Tailong Firm behind her, he did not ignore the 'my Tailong Firm' that Zhao Di said earlier. It seemed that the shop was recruited by Di, most likely her husband's.
Thinking of his own situation, Shen Ping became more and more ashamed.
He smiled reluctantly, lowered his eyes and said, "It turns out that I misunderstood, but it's fine if you're fine. I still have something to do, so I won't bother."
"Hey… "
Zhao Di was not prepared for Shen Ping to do this at all, so she watched him leave the business in a stunned manner.
"What are you running for! I'm not a tiger, I can't eat you."
She chased out of the business, looked at Shen Ping's back and stomped her feet, raised her hand and shouted, "Come on, stop him for me!"
Immediately, a few guys ran out from the Tailong business and chased after them.
On the opposite side, the yamen in the shipping department who was in charge of inspections had been looking at this place for a long time, but they were just old acquaintances, so they didn't show up.
No one in Dinghai City now knows that the Western sea merchant Roberts has taken a fancy to the aunt who lifts the adults, and will come every day. The key is perseverance. Others can't get involved in this kind of thing. will not interfere.
Now that I heard someone calling over there, I just thought the kid who ran away from the store was a thief, and the yamen of the Inspection Division immediately rushed out of the Ships Division like a wolf.
Seeing this, Zhao Di was also a little unable to stand, and hurriedly chased after him.
After she ran over, Shen Ping was indeed surrounded by people. She hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and said, "Don't get me wrong, he is not a thief, he is an old acquaintance. here."
Hearing this, the inspecting yamen began to disperse the crowd on the spot.
After everyone dispersed, Shen Ping looked at Zhao Di who was standing in front of him, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.
The husband he wanted to recruit must be very powerful. If not, even the yamen in the Shibo Division listened to her, until the man on the side called out to his aunt.
"What are you running for, I'm not a tiger, so you are scared like this?!" Zhao Di looked at Shen Ping, and then looked around, seeing that those scattered people were still looking here, she said: "Follow Shen Ping. I'm going!"
Then, Shen Ping followed behind her.
After the two of them left, the passers-by on the side whispered, and soon Xue Tiju's sister-in-law had a new love, and it was spread all over Dinghai City.
"Sit, why are you standing?"
In the living room of Tailong Firm, the decoration is elegant and delicate. Zhao Di sat on a chair with tea in her hand, and looked up at Shen Ping.
"I'm sitting, you're standing, are you tired of talking!"
So Shen Ping sat down.
"You're not staying at Shen's house, why did you come to Dinghai?"
"What about you? Why are you in Dinghai?"
Zhao Di glanced at him, her eyes glinting: "Zhao'er's man has become an official, and now I'm here in Dinghai, so I'm here."
"Oh, are you okay then?" Shen Ping glanced at her nervously and asked.
"I'm very good."
"then you… "
"You haven't answered my words yet, why did you come to Dinghai?"
Zhao Di was a little aggressive, but Shen Ping didn't seem to agree at all and said honestly, "I'm here to do business."
"Doing business? When did the Shen family's business come to Zhejiang? Who did you come with, just you?"
"It's not the business of the Shen family, I have already left the Shen family." Shen Ping said.
"You left the Shen family? Why did you leave the Shen family?"
Shen Ping seemed reluctant to mention this, and said, "I won't talk about it. Sulan, did you and Zhao'er open this shop?"
"It was opened by Zhao'er, I'll help watch it."
Shen Ping nodded and showed a smile: "At that time, I saw that Zhao'er is very talented in business. Knowing that you are all doing well, I am relieved."
"What about you? What business are you doing now?"
"I'm just doing a small business to make a living. Sulan, I really can't tell you, and I have an appointment to talk about something, so I have to go first. After I finish the business, I will come back to you to catch up."
After speaking, he stood up, but this time he didn't dare to leave immediately, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Di.
"OK then."
After getting Zhao Di's words, he nodded hastily and left the living room.
After he left, Zhao Di leaned back on the chair and murmured, "Fool, it's still the same as before, I don't even dare to look at me, I look so ugly? It's all on the face, and I don't know how to do business."
She touched her face, stood up, and called out, "Chengzi, find someone to follow and see what's going on."
"Yes, Auntie."
There were many people around the street just now, and there were several people standing on the street at this time. If Shen Ping had noticed, he would have found out that this group of people was on the same path as him before.
"Teacher, Xiao Fang just went to inquire about it. That woman is the eldest sister-in-law of Shibo Si Xue Tiju. I don't know where the man came from."
Mo Jia squinted and glanced at Shibosi not far away, but he didn't seem to hear this.
A black-faced man beside him reprimanded in a low voice, "What's your name? It's called Master Mo."
"Little is not intentional, small means to forget, Master Mo."
"Okay, Sunspot," Mo Jia interrupted, "Find a place to stay first."
"Yes, Mr. Mo."
A group of people was about to leave when a carriage suddenly approached head-on. The carriage ran a little faster and almost missed a few of them. Several sunspots glared at them, but Mo Jia glanced at them.
Seeing the strange light that flashed in the eyes of Hall Master Mo, these pirates who usually started fighting when they disagreed with each other, restrained them.
The carriage stopped in front of Shiboji's door, and a tall man jumped down from it.
The few yamen just now were walking in, and when they saw this man, one of them subconsciously called Mrs.
The man waved his hand casually and hurried in.
Looking at that place, Mo Jia's slightly narrowed eyes flashed a strange blue light in the sunlight.
