Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 61

The shop was decorated in mid-July, but just in time for the July Half-Halloween Festival, it didn't open until a good day was chosen in early August.

Because it is ancient times, many fashionable and fresh names that Ning Qing imagined in her previous life can no longer be used. She simply followed Zhongli's family's property and called it "Sweet World", which is both vulgar and elegant.

The publicity in the early stage was well done, and Zhonglijia’s brand effect, Tianweitianxia’s business was booming on the first day of its opening. The new generation of fruit desserts and milk-based soup desserts quickly became popular in Beijing.

Most importantly, it also launched a pastry called cake, and a drink called milk tea, which is very popular among young girls.

In the near future, Tiantian Tianxia will become a good place for the noble ladies of Shangjing to have a small gathering. If you have time to sit there, eat some desserts, drink some fruit juice milk tea, it is elegant and comfortable. Compared with the tasteless teahouse in the past, go to the restaurant The solemnity and sweetness in the world are so suitable!

On the opening day, Ning Qing was sitting in the opposite restaurant, holding her cheeks, staring blankly at the bottom.

"If you like, sit in the shop and eat something," Song Zhuo said.

Ning Qing shook her head: "I'm not a guest."

Song Zhuo was startled slightly, very puzzled, today she got what she wanted, why is she depressed again?

In the evening, Song Zhuo took her on a cruise.

Today is the thirteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days. The full moon in the sky is as big as a silver plate, white and bright.Even if there is no need to light up the lights on the boat, you can see the other party's expression clearly.

Song Zhuo asked someone to set up a desk, and sat cross-legged on the deck, while Ning Qing brought two desserts and placed them in front of Song Zhuo.

Song Zhuo ate Ning Qing's dessert more than once. The first time was the lotus seed soup brought up by others, and the second time was the sago cake that Ning Qing made to please him.

"what is this called?"

"This one is called Yangzhi Ganlu, which is my favorite. It uses sago milk as the base, plus grapefruit and mango. It is fragrant, sweet, and sour-sweet. Cousin, do you think it is delicious? "

"Delicious." Song Zhuo sighed and smiled: "How do you know these things?"

"I learned it secretly." Ning Qing said with a rather complacent expression: "My mother said that the kitchen is always entered by servants, saying that it is dirty, and even the maids with dignity are not willing to enter the kitchen. But I think, If the man who goes into the kitchen and cooks is low, what is the man who eats?"

Song Zhuo was silent.

"I didn't like these things very much when I was a child. But when I was five years old, my mother forced me to learn to dance. Every time I had a dessert after dancing, I felt alive."

"Forcing you to dance?" Song Zhuo frowned.Girls in Tiansheng value dignity, and generally they don't learn to dance. Dancing is only learned by those women who want to serve others with beauty and want to be favored by men.

So Song Zhuo was shocked. Could it be that the Ning family wanted to give her away since they were young?

When she was five years old, it should be the two or three years when his stepmother first entered the mansion, and it was also the most difficult time. Could it be that the Ning family planned to give her to him then?
Thinking of this, Song Zhuo became joyful for no reason. It turned out that this little girl had long been his!

I couldn't help stretching out my hand and gently touching her little head: "My dear, learning to dance is also very good!"

Ning Qing fell silent.In her previous life, she thought her ideal was to make desserts, but when she actually opened a dessert shop today, she realized that she was not as happy as she imagined.Maybe, she doesn't hate ballet as much as she imagined!

"Come on, since Qingqing can dance, she should also dance for her cousin." Song Zhuo smiled.

Ning Qing's first reaction was resistance, and her small mouth twitched: "I don't dance, why should I dance?"

Song Zhuo wanted to tease her a few more words, but Ning Qing suddenly looked at him: "Do you really want to see it?"

"Naturally. Get the piano, and I will accompany you."

"No need." Ning Qing refused, "That's fine."

She stood up and took off the light green veil on the outside, and she was wearing a pure white dress with dark silver patterns on the inside.All the hair ornaments on her head were taken off, and she picked up a long hairpin to pull up the loose hair, and then fixed it all on the top of her head, revealing her snow-white, beautiful and slender neck.

This is her first show here and she takes it very seriously.

Song Zhuo looked at her in surprise, she had already stood in front, and bowed slightly to him with her skirt in her hands. This was not Tiansheng's way of saluting, but he knew it was!Compared with the soft and quiet blessing ceremony, her ceremony was somewhat elegant and noble.

The surroundings are silent, there is no silk and bamboo orchestra, and the sound of the piano is lingering. She gently tiptoes and dances silently under the moon.

Song Zhuo had never seen such a dance.Neither charming nor confusing, neither coquettish nor soft, neither playful, cheerful, or unrestrained and unrestrained like Gentiles.

It is extremely light and elegant, soothing and elegant. Watching her dance, you will feel that she is not dancing for pets, or trying to please others. You will feel that she is a noble princess!
After the dance, Ning Qing panted slightly, but Song Zhuo still couldn't take back his astonishing eyes. It wasn't until she approached that he exclaimed: "You danced really well."

Ning Qing's eyes turned red: "This is the worst dance ever."

After all, no matter how soft this body is, it doesn't have ten years of ballet training like she did in her previous life.She gritted her teeth and endured pain to complete many movements.

In her previous life, this was the best thing she did!She is always the number one in the school, the pride of the teacher, and the crazy persistence of her mother. She has won various awards, and finally lived up to expectations and was admitted to the world's top ballet academy.

She always felt that even though she was so good, she hated ballet very much. She always thought that if one day she didn't have to dance, it would be the best day in the world!
But now she found that it was not the case.She was so afraid that she would never dance ballet again, even though it hurt so much, she still wanted to continue dancing.

I remember my mother said in the previous life that if you don’t like something and you just want to win, it’s impossible to do it so well, and it’s impossible to fight so hard for it.

"Not bad, this is the most beautiful dance I've ever seen." Seeing her sad, Song Zhuo also felt distressed, and took her into his arms and hugged her, "My Qingqing is really good, she can draw, make snacks, and Can dance."

"But it's not enough."

Song Zhuo was puzzled: "Why not enough? I think enough is enough!"

"Really enough?"

"My Qingqing is very good, better than other girls."

Ning Qing leaned gently in his arms, maybe it was enough.If the gully in front of you is bottomless, no matter how you fill it, it will be impossible to fill it up.If it's just a small puddle, she can fill it up with a handful of sand.
