287, reclusive
I woke up last night and went out to cool off, but it happened to catch the heavy rain. Fortunately, a young lady extended a helping hand and borrowed an umbrella generously so that she would not get into a drizzle. The lady lived in Muxiang Pavilion last night, and it is said that she was a guest on the third floor. She only said that she didn't have to return the umbrella, so she did not tell her name.
The above is the reason fabricated by Xiaoxiao. This is what I asked Xizi to help check which guests stayed on the third floor of Muxiang Pavilion so that it would be convenient for me to return the umbrella to others.
"You are kind-hearted, but you are just an umbrella." Xizi quickly brought the list of residents of Muxiang Pavilion.
Xiaoxiao quickly browsed the guests who lived in several rooms on the south side of the third floor. Because the rooms on the south side were too large, there were only four rooms: "Zeng Deshui, Chen Yongcai, Gao Huixin, Ji Dainian, how old are these four bosses? I wonder how old are their wives?"
Xizi laughed: "I'm still young! Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. Chen are always in their forties, Mrs. Gao..."
Xizi's girl Pengxin said, "Mrs. Gao is young, but she looks in her early twenties, and she is also lively. Last night, she called several young ladies to her room to play mahjong. Mrs. Chen next door was so angry that she blocked the door and cursed... said yes..." Pengxin looked like she wanted to speak but stopped.
Xizi urged: "If you have something to say, Yingyuan is not an outsider."
Then, Tongxin said softly: "Mrs. Gao is from the market and her family sells roasted goods. Mrs. Chen scolded people and said that the bottom of the pot on the tip of Mrs. Gao's fingers had not been washed clean. She hurriedly went to touch the dominoes. Mrs. Gao was even more verbal and said that Mrs. Chen... On her shoulders, she sold pigs on the streets of Summer Wind..." Pengxin realized that she had said too much, and swallowed the following words, "Mr. Chen doesn't care whether the tip of the pigs' fingers are fishy or not, and she can't figure them out."
"What is it about shoulders?" Xizi was puzzled.
Xiaoxiao had no choice but to pretend to be puzzled and looked at him with a confused look on his face.
My face was red and I wanted to shirk my heart. But I knew my own girl's temperament and I must break the casserole to ask the end, so I found a slightly more elegant alternative: "It means the outdoor room."
"Oh~" Xizi suddenly realized, "By the shoulders, for some reason, I think this word is beautiful."
He said anxiously: "Miss, stop talking! This is not a good thing!"
Xiaoxiao blinked at Xizi: Just looking at these two words is quite romantic, but if you explore the profound meaning, you can remove the word "man" in the latter part.
"It seems that the dispute last night was quite powerful. The wind blew into your room, so it must be a big deal." Xiaoxiao.
He nodded in a praising heart: "I also heard the mothers gossip about it during breakfast."
It was just an ordinary dispute between guests, but as soon as they got involved in the "those who buy pigs and go to the water" they began to talk about this topic with relish. It was like eating a plate of red oil mixed with pig ears, soft and tough, and the small crisp bones inside were particularly interesting.
"The guests on the third floor of Muxiang Pavilion must have come out to watch the fun, and of course there are also people who are kindly persuaded to fight." Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "For example, Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. Ji."
"Others don't know that Mrs. Ji didn't show up at all," said Mrs. Peng Xin again, "Mrs. Ji doesn't even need the girls from our Wen family. She only uses the girls she brought with her. When she returns to the guest room, the door of the room is closed, and the bath water is only sent to the door."
"Mrs. Ji should be very young, right?" Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, and she already had the answer in her heart.
"How did Miss Tang know? Mrs. Ji looks only seventeen or eighteen years old." She looked at her heart and smiled. She thought that Miss Tang was very smart and a little difficult to understand. Today, she heard what she asked, it was indeed not simple. Every question could lead to a story.
Xiaoxiao said, "It is because of my youth, thin skin, that I am not good at dealing with people." As he said that, he looked at Xizi, "If it is about age, the lady I am talking about should be Mrs. Ji. Now the banquet has been over. In a few days, I will send someone to Ji Mansion. In addition to returning an umbrella, I will prepare some gift boxes for the four seasons to thank Mrs. Ji for her kindness for sheltering the rain."
Xizi seemed to remember something and asked his girl: "Then is the Ji family that does the Dianhong business?"
"That's right." Nodded.
Xizi smiled and said, "As for this, the Ji family and our family have been considered business partners for many years. Half of the Dianhong used in my rose tea comes from their family!"
Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking, "Why is it only half?"
"My father has always avoided a single source of goods, for fear that it will be difficult to control in the future, so Dianhong uses tea from three families, all from Yunnan." Xizi did not regard Xiaoxiao as an outsider.
"It's better to be cautious when doing business." Xiaoxiao nodded, agreeing with Uncle Wen's approach, and then asked again: "It turns out that this Ji family is from Yunnan. Last night, she looked more like a native of our north." If Maoyan'er's appearance is special, it would be difficult for people to convince her that she was a local. Therefore, Xiaoxiao inferred that Maoyan'er should not be from Yunnan.
"I don't know where his wife is, I only know that this wife has always been a quiet person." Xizi said.
"Home in a quiet place?"
Xizi's voice was low: "Boss Ji was widowed in middle age and married this wife two months ago. The previous Mrs Ji had a very good relationship with my mother. When she arrived at this new wife, she had cut off contact with everyone and had never seen her at the big and small gatherings. At this time, my father called Boss Ji and brought his wife to come with her little one. This new wife was finally here after much success."
So that's it. After Maoyan'er "conspired" in Zhaozhou, she quietly got married in Kyoto and lived a secluded life as a noble lady.
"If this is the case, I will not disturb her anymore. It's just an umbrella," said Xiaoxiao. "The same thing is a reciprocity for some people, and a disturbance for others."
Xiaoxiao looked around and saw that there were no noisy guests at yesterday's banquet in the garden, which seemed even more vast and deep: "It's almost noon, and it's time for me to say goodbye."
"I still want to keep you for lunch." Xizi was a little reluctant.
"We have too many meals, and there is still one month left for the summer vacation!" Xiaoxiao smiled naughtyly, "Besides, my second brother's Wangshan Tower will open today, so I have to go and support it!"
Xizi looked surprised: "Are you talking about..."
"Yes, buffet." Xiaoxiao nodded.
"I am really convinced by your Tang family!" Xizi sincerely expressed his praise, and suddenly thought of something: "Wangshan Tower is open, why didn't you post a post?"
"Last night's buffet menu stated the opening date of Wangshan Tower. I believe the guests have seen it. Those who are willing to join in the fun must go to support the show at noon today, so there is no need to post." Xiaoxiao shrugged.
"Even the money for printing posts!" Xizi joked.
The two of them had already walked to Nanyuan without realizing it, and they could see plush and cute gardening styles everywhere. They pointed to the pair of purple deer shapes: "I agreed to let my third brother make a pair of such deer for our family!"
"I've made it for you a long time ago, maybe I can ship it today!"
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Thank you, I have seen my uncle and aunt just now. I will no longer say goodbye to them, otherwise I will get another red envelope and make me look as thick-skinned."
"My parents like you, I wish you a few more red envelopes!" Xizi looked at him and smiled.
"I am an honest person. If you say this, I will probably go to your house ten or eight times every day in the future, just to save money for dowry." said a smile.
"You just need to come thousands of times." Xizi warmly answered.
Xiaoxiao covered her forehead and smiled: "My horse is old, don't bully it..."
The two laughed silently for a long time.
Xizi kept sending Xiaoxiao out of the gate: "What have you done in the past two days?"
"Make a publication while it's hot, and try to print and publish it within ten days!" Xiaoxiao looked full of energy.
The Rose Banquet is like a volcanic eruption, and it is not wasteful or free.
Fashion is the same as news, and no one will eat it when it cools down.
"Do you really want to print my portrait on the album?" Xizi hesitated.
"Anyway, the style of the clothes must be painted," Xiaoxiao said in this matter, "As for your appearance, it is up to you to decide! It is okay to be very similar, seven, five, and three points. If you can't accept it, I can just draw clothes and draw the hanger."
"I'm not unwilling to do so, I just feel a little bold." Xizi told the truth.
"The advertising and paintings are very bold in itself," this is what Xiaoxiao has always wanted to do, so he is eager to do it well. "I have made an appointment with the three wives of the Jin family and plan to give them an exclusive interview to talk about their beauty experience and clothes of the three generations of the elderly, middle-aged and young people."
"Really?" Nishiko showed her starry eyes, "They promised to tell you this? Will everyone in Kyoto know after they say it?"
"People who love beauty always hope that more people can discover her beauty, not to mention that someone asks her for her beauty experience, so they are naturally happy to do it." Xiaoxiao will never forget the various fashion frenzys that these three ladies set off in their previous life. "They will naturally not tell them all, but as long as they are willing to say one or two points sincerely, it will be enough for us to benefit for life."
"If there were indeed any wives from the Jin family who talked about this, I would definitely be the first to buy a painting magazine!" Xizi said seriously.
Even Pengxin said on the side: "If the price is not expensive, we girls will definitely buy one to read!"
