The husband of the female queen, he is soft and cute

45 - The Eve of the Banquet
Back at the East Lake Courtyard, Su Chengrui searched around the room but did not see Ah Qing.She came to the table, looked at the words written crookedly on the spread rice paper and raised her eyebrows.

This guy, did he become lazy when he didn't stare at him all day?

Su Chengrui turned around and went out, and searched along the pool in the backyard.Not long after passing through the corridor, I saw the thin figure sitting in the pavilion in a daze.

The man was sitting on a rock under the tree, the sun shining through the gaps in the leaves cast mottled golden shadows on his fair little face, and the pale yellow dress on his body made him look more elegant and refined. A silent and beautiful painting.

Of course, the premise is that if he can ignore his actions at this time.

Ah Qing raised her head, her dark eyes quickly swept around, and when she saw that there was no one there, she lifted up her clothes, frowned from time to time, and muttered something in her mouth.

Should not be pregnant!

He stared at his white belly with worry in his eyes.

Looking absently at the sparkling lake, there seemed to be a faint smiling face of a woman floating on it.Ah Qing's eyes fell on her pursed lips.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to caress his swollen lips.

The image of the two hugging and kissing last night involuntarily came to mind, Ah Qing's cheeks were hot.

This person usually looks serious, but she didn't expect that she... actually did such a shameless thing to herself!

"I said when did I raise a little wild cat that loves to eat and is lazy!" The woman's teasing voice suddenly rang in her ears, the voice was less clear than usual, and it was as sweet as spring water.

Ah Qing was taken aback.

Turning around, seeing Su Chengrui who was smiling and looking at him, Wu Liuliu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he got up happily and said, "Susu!"

Su Chengrui's eyes fell on his messy hair, and he frowned, "What are you doing, it's only been one morning, why is your hair so messy again?"

"Butterfly! Butterfly!"

Ah Qing smiled and pointed to the two colorful butterflies fluttering in the flowers in front of her, "The flowers and butterflies are so beautiful!"

As he spoke, he got up and wanted to go forward again, but Su Chengrui grabbed his arm.

"Let's go, go back first, I brought you something."

Ah Qing opened her eyes with joy when she heard the words, "Is it delicious?"

"you guess."

Su Chengrui gave him a sly smile, and dragged him back to the house.

As soon as Mu Yu put the big and small oil paper bags in her hand on the table, her little head moved over curiously, which made her tremble in fright, and quickly backed away a few steps.

Su Chengrui glanced at her lightly, "Why do you look like a ghost in broad daylight? When did you become so timid?"

Ah Qing blinked her cigarette, and at a place Su Chengrui couldn't see, she gestured to Mu Yu to wipe her neck, her bright red lips evoked a cool smile.

When Su Chengrui turned around, his face instantly returned to its usual innocent look, and the speed of that change made Mu Yu speechless.

Mu Yu froze, and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, "If Miss has no other orders, I will leave first!"

After he finished speaking, he saluted, and immediately turned around and retreated. His movements were so fast, as if a ghost was chasing him.

Su Chengrui couldn't help frowning, "This Mu Yu..." It's weird.

"What are these?"

Ah Qing leaned over to the table and sniffed it with her nose, as if she smelled a fragrance, her eyes were shining brightly on the biggest oil-paper bag in front of her.

"The little nose is quite smart."

Su Chengrui smiled and opened the oiled paper bag, and a tempting burnt aroma wafted out. Inside was a roasted duck that had been sliced.

"I bought a few random items on the way back when I came back." She opened the others one after another as she spoke.

Every time a paper bag is opened, those little eyes light up.

Preserved fruit, all kinds of pastries, and an assortment of food covered the entire table.

Ah Qingxin exclaimed happily, and couldn't wait to reach out her hand towards the roast duck.The jade handle of the folding fan slapped, hitting the dirty back of the hand.

"Go wash your hands, and eat after washing!"

Ah Qing whimpered.

He glanced at the delicious food on the table reluctantly, but obediently followed it.

"Young master, this way."

Xiao Zhong pulled Ah Qing to sit at the table, picked up a comb with water on it, and combed his messy hair.Ah Qing couldn't wait to grab a duck leg and start chewing on it.

Li Mao's side quickly sent a message.

Su Chengrui was sitting in the study, playing with the jade pendant engraved with the unique logo of the Su family, and only responded lightly when he heard the news.

Mu Yu was a little surprised, "Miss already guessed that Boss Li would agree to cooperate?"

"She has no choice."

This Mrs. Li originally made a living doing textiles, and now the large and small clothing stores in Tongcheng are trying to terminate their contracts with her, and it just so happens that she just bought cotton.

Yang Jiading had inquired in advance and knew that Li's cotton demand was high on weekdays. After investing all the money, he needed to accept orders from customers for turnover, so he chose to sell at this time.

This is clearly trying to drive people to a dead end.

But this is also good, as the saying goes, no break, no, the Yang family's move can be regarded as an accidental help to her.

Su Chengrui took up a pen and wrote a letter, and packed the blueprints drawn two days ago together with the letter and sent it to Liu Xiaolian.

The next day, Liu Xiaolian and Du Chun'er took her to visit several pre-selected stores, and the three finally settled on the second-floor attic at the corner of the Chaoyang Street fork.

Chaoyang Lane is located in Dongcheng, but it is very remote and desolate.There are sparse small workshops and grocery stores around, and not many people hang out here on weekdays.So even if it is a second-floor attic pavement, the money required is not expensive.

Su Chengrui thought that he was only doing supply and marketing after all, so it didn't matter how good a location he had to choose, it was better if it was remote, at least there were no crowds.There is a Li's workshop a dozen steps ahead of here, which is very convenient for inspection and shipment.

The reason why the other two agreed was that, firstly, there was a separate small yard behind the shop, and there was a warehouse for stocking, and secondly, they considered the money they had now.

The price was negotiated by an old servant next to Liu Xiaolian. That old servant used to do some small business, followed the shop owner to lower the price, and finally sold the shop at a price of 200 taels of silver.

After getting the title deed, the three of them began to discuss with Li Mao's mother and daughter about preparing for the renovation.

The days are busy and fly by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet arrived.

Early in the morning, Su Chengrui was called to the main courtyard by Mrs. Su Li.

She lowered her head to look at the robe on her body, and suddenly her head sank. The gold-encrusted jade crown weighing several kilograms was worn on top of her head. Su Chengrui couldn't help but look at the man standing behind her. people.

"Father, just take a jade hairpin, can you not make it so gaudy?"

As she spoke, she was about to reach out and take off the jade crown.

Su Lishi glared at her, as if "you dare to pick it and try it".

Su Chengrui withdrew his outstretched hand, smiled, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

"When did my Bao'er become so lazy!" Su Li muttered while tidying the broken hair on her sideburns, "You said you don't like too flowery colors, so Daddy specially asked someone to choose one for you." The cyan gown is chosen according to the color you usually wear!"

As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the two tassels hanging from the jade crown behind Su Chengrui's ears on both sides.

Su Li stepped back a few steps and looked up and down, then nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, she looks like a lady from a rich family! My Bao'er was born well, Bai Jiang, what do you think?"
