capital girl

Chapter 10

Li Yulou was stunned for a moment, and then his cheeks flushed with embarrassment, what did he mean by this sentence, did he mean to ask her to wait for him to come back, and then come to propose marriage?

"I bought this on the way back, I don't know if it suits you..." Meng Shiyu said as he took out a hairpin and dragged it in his fair and slender palm.

Li Yulou's heart beat like a drum, he looked at Meng Shiyu in disbelief, then lowered his eyebrows shyly, "You, you gave it to me..."

"Yeah!" Meng Shiyu nodded in agreement with a clear voice, "I don't know what you like, so I'll buy it according to my vision."

"I like it. I like everything you buy." Li Yulou snatched the butterfly hairpin from his hand like a snatch.

The hairpin was still purple, so she must have bought it for her on purpose when she saw how beautiful the purple silk dress she was wearing in Chunxi Garden that day.

Holding the hairpin in both hands, Li Yulou regarded it as if it were a treasure. After a while, he opened it and took a look. It seemed that the purple butterfly embroidered on it would fly away alive.

She smiled shyly for a while, danced for a while, and jumped for a while.

It wasn't until he walked to the door of his own house that he realized that he seemed to have forgotten something. By the way, he forgot to watch Meng Shiyu leave.

She turned around and looked in the direction of Song's house. The slender, tall and fascinating figure at the door had already disappeared without a trace.She felt a little regretful again, and turned around and ran to the door of Song's house.

Naturally, Meng Shiyu had already left.

She walked home again with the hairpin in her arms.

Walking to the door of my house, I saw Zhou Ying and her mother cleaning the carriage from a distance, as if they were laying something on it.

"Zhou Ying..." Li Yulou walked over and shouted.

Zhou Yingniang saw that Li Yulou snorted and glared at Li Yulou. In Zhou Yingniang's eyes, she was a vixen who seduced her son. Originally, her son could marry a noble girl, but now he was seduced by Li Yulou, and there were twists and turns. She naturally looked at Li Yulou Yulou is not pleasing to the eye.

"Yulou..." Zhou Ying put down her work and walked towards Li Yulou.

"What are you and your aunt doing? It seems you are going out?" Li Yulou asked.

"Well, we are going to Hangzhou Mansion for a few days, and my mother is worried about elder brother Chun Wei." Zhou Ying smiled happily.

Obviously she can go to Hangzhou Mansion to play.

"You can't enter the Gongyuan, and you won't be able to see Brother Zhou in the days of Qiuwei." Li Yulou reminded.

"I know, my mother insists on going, and I want to go too. Hangzhou is more interesting than Xiuzhou, and I also want to go for a couple of days..." Zhou Ying smiled wickedly.

Li Yulou and Zhou Ying bid farewell and returned to their home.After entering the room, he put the hairpin on his bun and gestured for a while, feeling overjoyed.

But the matter of Zhou Ying going to Hangzhou Mansion lingered in her mind. She was also worried about Meng Shiyu and wanted to go too.

Li Yulou turned around on the ground a few times, clasped his hands together, and thought about how to chase Meng Shiyu to Hangzhou Mansion.

Whether Meng Shiyu bought her a hairpin for her purpose, or to thank her for taking care of Uncle Song during this time, what does it mean.

She was so happy just now that she completely forgot to ask what Meng Shiyu was thinking.

"Miss, what are you planning?" Chuntao asked while looking at Li Yulou while knocking on the melon seeds.

"I want to go to Hangzhou Mansion, what can I do?" Li Yulou looked at Chuntao and asked.

"By boat, or by carriage..." Chuntao replied.

Li Yulou glared at her, "I mean how should I tell my mother about this..."

"Madam won't agree." Chuntao said decisively.

She also knew that her mother would not agree.Li Yulou in Hangzhou City is no stranger. There are several silk exchange conferences every year, and she will go to Hangzhou Mansion to observe and study.

"Yes, this is a good excuse." Li Yulou was complacent because of his cleverness.

She took the letter written to her by the Hangzhou Silk Chamber of Commerce and copied it according to the handwriting on it.Her handwriting is not bad, and she can copy other people's handwriting, which may reveal her secrets in front of her father immediately, but she can get away with it in front of her mother.

Her mother also knows how to read, but she can only read and write.

"Go, hold it and shout a few times in the yard..." Li Yulou instructed Chuntao.

Chuntao promised that even the melon seeds would not be fragrant anymore, because if Li Yulou could go to Hangzhou Mansion, she could follow.

"Miss, miss, a letter from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce..." Chuntao shouted loudly in the yard holding the letter Li Yulou had just written.

Neither her father nor younger brother came back yet, and there were only Li Yulou and Zhang Xiulan at home. This was a good opportunity for her to lie to her mother.

"Mother, it's a letter from the Hangzhou Prefecture Chamber of Commerce. Because my purple silk yarn won the chief, they invited me to participate in the exchange meeting. I want to go..." Li Yulou took the letter and went to meet her mother in the workshop.

Zhang Xiulan took the letter and looked at the contents. It seemed that it was exactly what Li Yulou said, but she still felt that something was wrong.

Because she knew that Li Yulou was too smart and thoughtful, so she was deceived by accident.

"It's only been a few days since you became the chief, and the Hangzhou government knows about our purple silk yarn?" Zhang Xiulan was not dazed because the purple silk yarn was passed to the Hangzhou government.

"Hey, they are all made of this. It seems that my purple silk yarn is relatively rare in Hangzhou Mansion..." Li Yulou raised his chin proudly.

Zhang Xiulan finally agreed.

Li Yulou hid the ecstasy in his heart, but only showed the joy he should have said, "Mother, I will tidy up, and I have to bring some purple silk gauze over there. In addition, I am researching a new material recently, and by the way Looking for inspiration..."

"Well, okay, I see, then I will come back after five days at most, and take a few more people with me, so I can take care of anything." Zhang Xiulan reminded.

Li Yulou agreed to everything, as long as he could go to Hangzhou Mansion, everything would be fine.

Early the next morning, her family sent out two carriages, one for her and Chuntao, and the other for carrying materials and accompanying servants.

Two days later, they entered Hangzhou City.

Hangzhou City is obviously more crowded than Xiuzhou City because of the imminent Spring Festival, not to mention that Hangzhou Mansion is much more prosperous than Xiuzhou.

Before that, she asked Chuntao to tell Zhou Ying that she was going to Hangzhou Mansion too, and asked which inn they lived in.The inn next to the Gongyuan was already overcrowded, so they had to find a place farther away to live.

However, it is closer to the West Lake, and it is more convenient to visit the West Lake.

Li Yulou and Zhou Ying lived in the same inn. In order to avoid Zhou Yingniang, she did not take the initiative to find Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying packed up and came to talk to her after dinner.

"Yulou, how did you come out, why did your mother let you come to Hangzhou Mansion?" Zhou Ying said excitedly.

"I lied..." Li Yulou told Zhou Ying all about his deception.

"Yulou, you are so powerful, you dare to fight wits and courage with your mother, I am so short of you..." Zhou Ying looked disappointed.

Worried about being discovered by her mother, Zhou Ying left without staying too long. It was too late, and Li Yulou naturally didn't dare to go out to find Meng Shiyu, so he had to wait until tomorrow morning to meet at the entrance of the Gongyuan.

Meng Shiyu got news from Xiao Qi, "Master, Miss Li has also come to Hangzhou Mansion..."

Meng Shiyu was surprised for a moment, got dressed and left the inn where Li Yulou was staying, and then knocked on the window of her room.
