It was mid-June, and the wind was calm and nothing big happened.

The iron-armed Zhou Tong specially sent someone to send a bow. Zhou Tong's archery skills are famous all over the world. This bow is a famous thing for Zhou Tong, which means that he will not take action after agreeing to Cao Hua's conditions and submitting a letter of fame to avoid Cao Taisui turning around and killing him back.

Cao Hua naturally confiscated this. He sent it back and even put on a jade turtle. Jade represents the "trust" turtle, and he ignored it. Dealing with respected people with respect is actually quite simple. I think that the other party will not take action again after being so sincere. Next, just focus on being careful with Li Yan.

In the business world, the suppression of Wang and Li's family did not stop, and the whole market was 20% off. The Shen family's foundation was good. Although they had no grains, they could still hold on. Some small shops were squeezed and closed down due to undesirable disasters. This kind of thing was too common in the business world. He also took advantage of the opportunity to buy the bottom and settled two small stores in Xingguofang. The high-end officials and nobles were constantly flowing. If they were on the high end, they were better than Yanglou Street.

These things were left to Liu Laosi to take care of. He has been wandering around the Shen family's workshop these days to guide the Shen family's craftsmen, preparing the poems needed to be used first, just waiting for a sufficient supply of goods to be spread out.

At the same time, I took the time to buy the idle house in Shiquan Lane. As for why I haven’t figured out why I bought it, I won’t lose money anyway when I buy a property, so I just think it’s an investment.

The first batch of blind boxes were preheated in Wanbao Building. The boxes were still the standard packaging of Wanbao Building and could not be opened with wax seal. Liu Laosi found some children to talk nonsense at various literary conferences, attracting attention from poems to let people enter the store to observe. With the "spending money in a thousand dollars" in Minglou, Wanbao Building is currently very popular. As long as it is related topics, there are many people who pay attention to it, but it will take a few days to bring the blind box.

Some people came and released some people. After Han'er took care of him, there was no trouble. However, his legend of "Martial Arts and Gods" became more and more fierce. From taking Zhou Tong's punch, he turned into a punch and handed out the senior Zhou's blood and begging for mercy. He couldn't explain this, and he couldn't say that he hadn't gotten up from the bed for three days after being beaten.

Apart from work, I couldn't go back to renovate the mansion, so Cao Hua had no choice but to wander around the city and find a suitable shop.

After all, Chen Jingliu is conservative. While filializing for her deceased mother, she prohibits social entertainment according to etiquette and law. She usually doesn't go out. Just when he passes by and returns home at night, he will stand at the entrance of Qinglian Lane to pretend to watch the moon. Then he "accidentally" discovered him and ran back in a panic.

He also saw through but didn't say it out loud, but just said: "Miss Chen's moon is so round!"

Originally, Chen Jingliu replied seriously: "Yes! I'll go back first, don't follow..." After a few times, he found that Cao Zhe's eyes were staring at her and said something.

This made Miss Chen blush with anger, and then she turned into "Bah! Dingtui..." and she deliberately retreated, staring at Cao Thief to prevent him from watching.

Then Cao Zhe changed the place and said, "The little heir has just revealed his sharp corners..."

Hum... If you have the ability, you can learn to walk sideways by crabs, and there is also a sentence "Looking horizontally into a ridge and a peak on the side...."

Chen Jingliu had an angry and indifferent way, and her eyes seemed to be trying to eat people, but every night, she would still walk around the alley outside the alley, which was a strange tacit understanding.

It was mid-June, and the wedding ceremony that was inexplicably smashed on the head was closer.

According to the rules, they cannot meet before getting married. Cao Hua naturally cannot meet Princess Yong'an again, but it is probably embarrassing to meet. Zhao Tianluo praised "Su Caizi" at poetry and essay meetings every day, and deliberately put the new "grass tip" on his head, which attracted scholars to follow suit.

If he meets him, no matter how shameless he is, he will be embarrassed to be so competent for such a competent advertising spokesperson. However, if he doesn't take advantage of the issue, he will be sorry for his reputation as "Kyoto Tai Sui". In general, it will be a second to see him. I will talk about it later.

June 18th, heavy rain.

After leaving the mansion in the morning, it rained and couldn't walk the streets. I kept sitting in the teahouse on Yanglou Street and listening to storytelling. The only entertainment activities in this era were the best. The weather was good. The weather was bad, so I could only stay in the house. Talented scholars could go to poetry meetings to chat. No matter how talented he was in Kyoto Tai Sui was, he could not go there.

The tofu shop opposite has a memory. When it rains, it didn't open it and made a fortune. Su Xiangning took down a cloth shop near Minglou. It is currently being renovated. He chose the location. It happened to be next door to Lijiafang, in order to kill the Li family.

However, the shop is a bit big, and only 6,000 taels of floors can be used. The decoration is not enough, so he and Shen Yu invested 2,000 each to be considered a partnership. As for the most capital source of goods in the jewelry store, they naturally bought the goods from the two companies and then paid.

In the afternoon, heavy rain hit the eaves, suppressing the slightest noise on the street.

The storyteller on the stage spoke lotus flowers and talked about the thrilling and intestinal battle in the brothels.

The real gun and live ammunition fight are fascinating.

The little rogue, poor scholar, and Cao Taisui were all listening to it with relish and felt that he was there. A pot of tea was at the bottom and was about to call the waiter to refill the cup, but the friend opposite ran in.

"Boss, the Qingguo girl from the Douhua stall is looking for you."

"oh?"

Cao Hua shook the fan and looked at it in a blink of an eye, but saw Qingguo, a maid wearing a cloth skirt, holding an oil paper umbrella, watching from the street outside the shop opposite.

Thinking that Su Xiangning had something to discuss, he stood up with an unsatisfactory attitude, gave up his position to his guy, and went out to the shop: "Miss Qingguo, is there anything wrong?"

"I've met Mr. Su."

Qingguo held an oil-paper umbrella, and her embroidered shoes were covered with water on the rainy road, and the hem of the skirt was wet. She bowed respectfully.

He nodded slightly, and he observed his expression and Kyoto Tai Sui's eyesight and found that the little girl was a little nervous, which was not surprising.

He heard Su Xiangning say that Qingguo was a girl from Minglou. She looked pretty fair-hearted, but she didn’t know how to be talented and afraid of life. Like Huan'er, she could only be the top maid in Minglou.

After using Shen Yuhuang, Su Xiangning took care of the maid who had been serving for two years. With Qingguo's temperament, she would inevitably suffer when she ran to others. Maybe she would be taken to pick up customers if she got out of the place. Su Xiangning would forget the maid, so she bargained with Mrs. Tang, and finally sold half and half to give away Qingguo, and finally redeemed Qingguo, started living in Baibaozhai, and finally arrived at the alley behind. It was said that the master and servant were actually more like sisters, at least Su Xiangning treated her as her sister, and she didn't mind being lazy when she opened a tofu stall.

"Qingguo, what's wrong with me?"

"Miss...Miss, please come and sit down."

"Oh, right?"

Seeing Qingguo lowering his head, he thought he was shy and didn't ask much, and walked to the alley behind Yanglou Street with an umbrella.

It was raining heavily, and there was no one in the alley. A water truck was parked in the alley. Two men were waiting at the door of a house wearing hats. Yanglou Street was a lot of wealth, and it was not uncommon for those who loved to drink tea to transport spring water from the mountains outside the city. He glanced casually and came to the small courtyard deep in the alley.

The equipment used to make tofu is covered with oil cloth, and water is still burning in the kitchen, and there is only the sound of rain quietly.

"Miss is still here just now, maybe she's out. I'll be back later. Mr. Su, please sit down first."

After Qingguo led her into the house, she ran to the kitchen to start making tea.

He sat down in the room and tapped his fingers on the table, which was a little bored.

Some furniture was still covered with white cloth, and the pipa stood inside the pile of musical instruments. There was rice paper on the painting table next to it, and someone was spent on it:

A bearded man kicked the door with his waist on his back.

The painting skills are good, but the person's posture is really not satisfactory. Only half of it was drawn, and the brush seemed to be hasty, but it didn't put it in a good way, and it brought out all the ink marks on the rice paper.

He frowned, thinking that the painting was the silly skin, Qingguo walked over with a bowl of tofu: "By the way, the lady has left the tofu for the young master, you can try it first."

"Ha? So polite."

He sat down at the table and looked at the blue and white tofu, feeling a little hungry.

I picked up the spoon and was about to eat it, but suddenly my nose sniffed it. There was something wrong with it, and there was a slight smell that was indescribable, but it felt very obvious.

"This tofu tastes a bit strange..."

Qingguo smiled and stranded her hair embarrassedly: "I don't know what happened when I did it, Miss."

"oh."

Cao Hua shook his head and smiled bitterly, and took a sip with his teeth. When the tofu was in his mouth, a feeling of nausea surged in his body for some reason, and he almost vomited it out. He frowned, forcibly suppressed the inexplicable nausea, and swallowed the delicious tofu:

"Ahem...this tofu...is made by Miss Su, it's different from a person...is not bad..."

Qingguo was delighted and stood at the door and looked at him eating tofu: "If you like the young master, eat more."

Anyway, it was not the first time, Cao Hua sipped again.

But for some reason, this time it tasted good, but I always felt nauseous and I was disobedient when I swallowed it.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a bowl of tofu was bottomed out and my mind gradually became dizzy.

"Your lady...why haven't you come back yet..."

Cao Hua, wearing a scholar's robe, held the table with his hands and blinked hard. His body instinctively wanted to get up and leave, but he felt weak in his legs and sat back.

"Don't worry, I'll call the lady..."

Qingguo hurriedly ran out of the house without even urging an umbrella.

Bang!

The sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground sounded.

He fell to the ground in a daze, like drunkenness, and the roof in front of him was sometimes far away and sometimes near, and the sound of rain outside became more and more distant.

A little, the slightly heavy footsteps made his spiritual sense suddenly awake a little, and his body bounced up, but a greater sense of dizziness came and made him fall back to the ground.

Yu Guang saw two men entering the room and couldn't hear what they said. When the raindrops fell on his face, they completely escaped into darkness...

------

"It took half an hour to come out, why are you so ink?"

Zheng Sihai carried a hat and held the tall scholar on his shoulders, and spitted out in anger: "I look so thin, I'm quite heavy."

Qingguo's face turned pale and her body shivered: "I...I fed him, but he ate slowly..."

The man from the Iron Tower raised his hand and pinched her face, with a gentle smile: "Don't scare the girl."

Qingguo's body trembled, but he didn't dare to retreat. He just whispered: "Miss, please ask, you... don't say I did it... Also, don't beat him to death, he is not bad..."

Zheng Sihai found a sack and stuffed the scholar into it: "What are you worried about? Just wait to be your young lady."
