home in the end

Chapter 72
Miss Su picked up a piece of sky blue silk and asked shyly, "Mr. Xu, what do you think of this piece?"

Xu Runxin glanced at it absent-mindedly, and said, "That's right, Miss Su has a good eye."

Miss Su smiled slightly, her face was in full bloom like a spring flower, with a feeling of freshness and beauty. Miss Dong next to her had a flash in her eyes, and frowned slightly at Xu Runxin who was indifferent.

Xu Runxin had been carefully watching the outside, and when he saw the signal, he was excited, and a smile appeared on his face.He was good-looking in the first place, and he liked to hold a fan to pretend to be flirtatious, but now he looked even more flirtatious when he smiled. Miss Su next to him was stunned, and even Miss Dong was also slightly absent-minded.

"Miss, I remembered that it will be the Ghost Festival soon, and I am planning to go to Duobao Pavilion to buy something for my parents and grandfather. I wonder if the two ladies are interested in going with me."

Miss Su nodded and said: "Since we came out together, of course we want to go and see together, how about Sister Dong?"

Ms. Dong nodded and thought about it. She has never heard of giving gifts during the Ghost Festival. Is this a custom in Quanzhou County?

Xu Runxin led them to Duobao Pavilion. When they reached the door, Xu Runxin's personal servant suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear. They saw that Xu Runxin's expression became more and more ugly. Although the servant's voice was soft, but Several people also vaguely heard something: "Di... Sang... Madame..."

Xu Runxin put on a strong smile and said, "Why don't you two young ladies go shopping first, I'm afraid we won't be able to accompany you when Runxin is temporarily here."

Miss Dong thoughtfully said: "Mr. Xu, if you have something to do, go and do it first."

Miss Su nodded again and again, "Mr. Xu, don't worry about it. Don't you still have the servant girls from your mansion? We will go back later."

"Thank you so much." Xu Runxin saluted and left in a hurry.

Miss Su and Miss Dong glanced at each other, and Miss Su smiled and said, "Sister Dong, do you still want to go shopping?"

"Of course." Ms. Dong walked in first and said, "I heard that Duobao Pavilion has a complete range of items and the quality is good. Of course, I took a look. Where's Ms. Su?"

Miss Su followed her footsteps and said with a smile, "Then I will accompany Sister Dong."

As soon as the two entered the door, Xiaoer, who was dozing off at the counter, hurried over and said, "What do you two ladies need? We have everything in this store, and there are also rouge and gouache from Sufangzhai in the capital..."

Miss Su frowned and interrupted him: "Okay, we will watch it ourselves. Go do your own work, and I will call you later if needed."

Xiaoer said "Oh" in disappointment, and said, "The two young ladies just look at it casually, and tell Xiaoer what they see..."

Ms. Su didn't even look at him. She went to look at the things on the shelves. Ms. Dong gave him a strange look, and went to the shelves of antiques to look.

Several people took a look, but they didn't see anything special. Just as they were about to leave, they saw Xiao Er approaching the door courteously, and said respectfully, "Miss Lan is here!"

Miss Dong looked over and saw a man wearing a blue top with orchids embroidered on the neckline and eight skirts of the same color on his lower body. His face was like a silver plate, his skin was fair, and he looked dignified and beautiful, with an indescribable temperament all over him. The little maid, about ten years old, was wearing a half-worn pink gown, and her eyes flickered with cunning.

Miss Lan smiled slightly, "I want to buy some gifts for the elders. Is there any new products in Duobao Pavilion?"

Xiaoer's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, yes, we just got new goods from the capital yesterday, what does Miss Lan want?"

The little maid behind her stepped forward and said: "Our girl wants to buy something for our wife. Didn't you say that there is something from Shufangzhai? Take it out and have a look, we want a new one!"

Xiao Er nodded again and again, "It must be new, I just got a set when I arrived yesterday." Turning around, she winked at the little maid.Liang Yimei kept a stern face and didn't move, she just followed Miss Lan.

Xiao Er went to the Duobao shelf, took a box from a corner, and came over and said, "Look, this is a new arrival. There are not many of these things in the capital, and our county only got a box. Miss and wives like it very much, Miss Lan wants to give it to the elders, it is the best."

Girl Lan was a little moved, and said, "Can I try?"

Xiao Er's face burst into a smile, "Of course, there is an order reserved for others to try." Xiao Er opened a small box and handed it to Miss Lan.

Ms. Su and Ms. Dong were both a little moved by what they heard there, but they were too embarrassed to go over. Ms. Su secretly regretted that she shouldn't have disliked the little girl just now.

Miss Lan tried it on her hands and let out a low cry. Liang Yimei looked at it from the sidelines and raised her eyebrows. The products from Shufangzhai are really good, even though she never used cosmetics, she was a little moved.She looked up, and sure enough, Miss Su and Miss Dong were both attracted.

Miss Lan put down the thing in her hand and said, "How much is this thing?"

Xiao Er made a hand gesture and said, "20 taels."

Miss Lan frowned and said: "Even if it is so good, there is no reason why it is so expensive. The two taels of silver we usually use are the best."

Xiaoer explained: "Miss Lan, this is really good. You may not be able to buy it at this price in the capital. This time, there are only 53 sets of this kind. Our county has earned a lot of money to get this set." .”

Miss Lan frowned in thought, Liang Yimei leaned closer and said, "Miss, I heard that Mrs. Xu likes Shufangzhai's stuff..." Although the voice was small, everyone could hear it.

Both Ms. Su and Ms. Dong's hearts skipped a beat, and they both looked at that girl Lan carefully.Miss Su's complexion was a bit ugly, but Miss Dong had another thought. The little girl called her "Miss" just now, but everyone in the south likes to call her "Miss". Is she a northerner?
Miss Lan thought about it, nodded, and was about to say "Yes", when a voice next to her said, "I want this box of rouge!"

Miss Lan looked up and saw that it was Miss Su. Miss Dong's heart skipped a beat and she looked at them.Liang Yimei breathed a sigh of relief in the corner, she was really afraid that they wouldn't take the bait!
She took a step forward, dutifully playing the role of maid, and said: "My lady, we girls already want this box of rouge."

Miss Su raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "Masters are talking, when is it a little maid's turn to intervene? Your master is also so uneducated?"

Miss Dong stepped forward and called out: "Miss Su..." This was outside, and she was with Miss Su, if she lost face, she would be implicated, so she hurried forward to give Miss Lan a favor After saluting, he said with a smile: "Miss Lan, don't blame me. Miss Su just likes this box of rouge very much. I wonder if Miss can give up her love?"

Before Miss Lan could speak, Miss Su on the opposite side raised her eyebrows and said, "Miss Dong is going to argue with me?"

Miss Dong choked in her throat and said with a smile: "Miss Su is wrong, I didn't want this box of rouge."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ms. Su turned her head and raised her eyebrows to look at Miss Lan, but Miss Lan ignored her and only smiled kindly at Miss Dong. Liang Yimei said directly to the waiter, "Let's wrap it up for us."

Xiao Er glanced at Miss Su, hesitated, Liang Yimei frowned, Xiao Er hurriedly said, "I'll take care of it right away."

Miss Su was anxious, stopped in front of him and said, "Didn't you hear what I said? I want this box of rouge!"

Ms. Dong's complexion was a bit grim. When she looked up, she saw that the maids and servants sent by the Xu family were all standing aside, only watching them quietly, as if they were waiting for their orders, or as if they were standing by. Indescribable feeling.

Here I only heard Ms. Su say: "I bought it for 40 taels." She hurriedly turned her head, and saw Ms. Su looking at Miss Lan proudly, and that Miss Lan frowned, and nodded at the little maid beside her. The little maid said to Xiaoer, "Is there anything else?" This was a disguised concession.

Miss Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and if the trouble continued, it would be bad if people were attracted.She frowned secretly again, why is Miss Su so impulsive today?She wasn't like this before.

Xiaoer seemed to feel a little guilty towards them, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, what do you want?"

Liang Yimei looked back at Miss Lan, and said, "Antiques, I heard that Master Yan likes antiques. Miss, what do you think?" She also gave Miss Su and Miss Dong a provocative look.

This sentence is definitely useless in normal times. After all, ladies still want to save face, and everyone is very reserved, but after just one scene, Miss Su's patience seemed to be worn out, and even Miss Dong was secretly a little upset.

If Miss Su didn't understand their purpose, she wouldn't have stayed until now, but what she didn't understand was, didn't it mean that only she and Miss Dong were left?Why did a blue girl suddenly appear again?

Ms. Dong didn't understand either, but she still had some knowledge after being a housekeeper for seven years. Although she was upset in her heart, she still kept her expression on her face.

Xiao Er brought out a porcelain bottle, and just about to say something, Miss Su on the side said, "I want this."

Xiaoer looked at her with his mouth wide open, and said falteringly: "This, this..." Looking at Miss Lan, she didn't know what to do.

Miss Lan asked, "How much?"

Xiaoer hurriedly said: "It's not expensive, just 100 taels of silver, this is..."

Miss Su's face turned blue, and she said angrily, "Didn't I say I want this? I'll pay double the price!"

"Miss!" Miss Su's close maid exclaimed, the 40 taels just now was already a lot, but it was still within Miss Su's tolerance range, but now it has far exceeded her burden.Su's father is just a small official, and he is still in the Qingshui Yamen like Guozijian, otherwise he would not have taken a fancy to the Xu family, which is just a businessman...

Ms. Dong suppressed the irritability in her heart, looked around, thoughtful, Liang Yimei had been hiding behind Miss Lan and quietly watched the reactions of the crowd. Seeing Ms. Dong's expression, her heart skipped a beat, she was a little nervous, but she couldn't bear it. Can't help but admire her!

Miss Dong felt that there was a gaze looking at her all the time, she looked around, and suddenly turned around, and saw the little maid next to Miss Lan looking at her, their eyes met in the air, and the little maid was still smiling at her. She smiled, her eyes were clear and open!

　It's still too late to hurry up, I will try to get the second update sooner!
