Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 320 If I Don't Like Ning Xiuyuan, What Will You Do? (two more)

Ji Wuyan smiled playfully, and reassessed this shopkeeper who didn't get along much... he was a wonderful person

The other party was still a little apprehensive after being scrutinized by her, and smiled embarrassingly, rubbing his hands while laughing, apologizing, "I'm really sorry, girl, I'm getting older..."

Ji Wuyan looked at him and smiled, narrow and gentle, "It's okay... I never asked you to make it with silk."

The shopkeeper was taken aback, dumbfounded.

He planned to wear the clothes to attend the imperial concubine's birthday banquet, but how could Ji Wuyan be so high-profile that he used silk yarn that even the nobles in the palace might not have? Isn't this really going to offend a room full of women?She's not stupid enough for this, she just said this on a whim just now, scallops are rarely seen in the market, even if Ye Wanru knows something about scallops, she probably only knows that it will glow like scales under the sun The multicolored shimmer, as for what it looks like indoors...

Who can tell?

It's better to use 5000 taels of silver to make Ye Wanru retreat in spite of the difficulties, than several people fighting for a piece of clothing.

She patted the sluggish shopkeeper with her mouth open, "However, this shawl dress still needs to be produced in a hurry. Tell the embroiderers to work harder and make it in a few days."

Ye Wanru was so surprised that she didn't realize it for a while. When she went back and figured it out, she would start to suspect that this small shop, after getting the yarn, would either keep the store in the bottom of the box or sell it to make money. It's really unbelievable to make a piece of clothing for my boss to wear.

Once suspicious, she will find someone who has seen or touched the garment to confirm it, or express her desire to see this garment in public... In short, make it out and be prepared.

The shopkeeper nodded his head and said good-bye, turned around and went down to order. When he left, his pace was obviously much faster, as if he was running away, hastily and embarrassingly.

Gu Cuo shook his head and laughed, "The shopkeeper originally thought of not only reminding you that the clothes are not silk, but also saving your forgetful face, but now it's good... I'm afraid I will be embarrassed for a while."

"He's a clever man." Ji Wuyan ordered the servants around him to take down the clothes hanging on the wall and take them away, and at the same time laughed at the trembling look of the shopkeeper just now, and told Xiaoer, "Tell your shopkeeper, I took the clothes back, if someone came to inquire before the new clothes were made, just presume that I took them away and let them come to me directly."

Xiaoer respectfully offered it with both hands, and bowed his head in response.

……

When returning to Ji's house, Gucuo stopped Ji Wuyan who was about to go back to his yard, "Would you like to sit at my place?"

Ji Wuyan looked back at him, and he smiled with an ordinary expression, "Mr. Chen made scented tea from the chrysanthemum I raised before, and added your favorite honey, try it?"

There are many flowers and plants in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancient house often makes some scented tea. She doesn't like chrysanthemum tea because it has a strange astringent taste. Later, the ancient house added some honey, which tastes good.It was only when I came to Yanjing City that I realized that scented tea is not available here.

She narrowed her eyes and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

After taking his seat, he realized that he was not simply drinking scented tea. Honey was added. He took his seat, held the cup of warm water in front of him, and said bluntly, "The date has been booked. The imperial concubine's birthday banquet will be held in two days. I’m going back to Jiangnan. On the way, I’ll go around Yunzhou and go to Zhuangzi to see the old lady. If you have anything to bring, things and words are fine, so I’ll take it with you.”

Ji Wuyan looked up, and the fingertips holding the glazed teacup could not even feel the temperature of the tea.

His fingertips were hot and red, Gucuo was still watching, took the cup from her hand and put it aside, and asked her with a soft sigh, "What are you thinking about?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" She asked him, she couldn't see the joy and anger on the face that took off her veil because of drinking tea, she just looked at the ancient house very calmly, as if she wanted to see some inner emotions from the other person's expression .

"Some things... Go back and do it earlier, so you can worry less."

"Then...will you come back?" She asked, staring straight at her without blinking.

Gucuo shook his head and laughed, "Naturally, I will come back. If the matter here has not been resolved, I will come to Yanjing City to look for you. If you have returned to Jiangnan, I will go to Yunzhou to look for you...not What a big deal, it's just that I haven't been home for a long time, so I just went back and have a look..."

Even after hearing what Gu Cuo said, she still didn't feel relieved.

She took the glazed teacup, looked at it with frowned eyes, and lowered her head to take a sip.Different scented teas have different colors, and when mixed in glass cups, they also have different scenes.

She likes to drink scented tea with glass cups, Gu Cuo remembers, and Gu Cuo also remembers some of her little habits.

He knows her better than anyone else, but Ji Wuyan always feels that he doesn't know Gucuo very well most of the time.It's as if those habits that have been engraved in the bones and blood will gradually lose their sense of existence in the comfort and habit day after day.

It is such a "habit" that the ancient house belongs to her.

"Ancient house..." she called out, speaking slowly, but her eyes only fell on the glazed cup on her fingertips.The taste of chrysanthemum tea diffuses in the mouth a little bit, with the sweetness of honey, it is the taste in memory.With the tip of her tongue rolling over her gums, she hesitated and asked, "You...do you dislike Ning Xiuyuan?"

"Why do you ask that?" His expression didn't change, but there was an earth-shattering jump in his chest, and his ribs hurt from the jump.

Ji Wuyan's fingernails unconsciously scratched the wall of the cup, and murmured to count the clues, "Since he lived in my yard, you seldom come to my yard. Before eating, planting flowers, and even You are always in my yard when you are idle and bored reading books... But after Ning Xiuyuan lived there, you seldom come here, and today is also the case... In the past, you must have brought scented tea to my place to drink... Gu Cuo, do you dislike Ning Xiuyuan?"

"If..." Gu Cuo firmly held the teacup in his hand, "If I say I don't like it... how will you treat it?"

"Me?" The glass cup was no longer hot, and the water temperature was just right. She took a sip from the glass cup and replied without thinking, "Well, let him go back to his Ningguo mansion, or find an inn to live in." go."

"Then..." His heart almost jumped into his throat, Gu Cuo's voice trembled faintly, he tried his best to stabilize his voice, "Then don't you like him?"

"Well. I like it. But I like it, and it doesn't prevent you from not liking it." The little girl looked straight at it, taking it for granted, "Your feelings are also very important to me. If you are here with me, you should If I deliberately avoid it, I will feel sad...Gucuo, you...are more important than him in the first place."
