Until they left, Meng Hetong could not see the person lying inside. He didn't know whether he was a man or a woman, whether he was good or bad. Xu Qingmo was sitting at the front door. Even if he wanted to go in and take a look, he would just look. less than.
On the way back, Xu Qingmo wanted to walk on the street, so Meng Hetong accompanied him.
"If you raise such a thing, aren't you afraid that one day he will bite you back?" Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo and said softly.
Xu Qingmo glanced at Meng Hetong, and then smiled: "That's because I made a mistake. I can't blame others!"
"Then you really think clearly!" Meng Hetong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't trust those you employ, don't trust those you doubt!" Xu Qingmo walked forward slowly, "If you fail, it can only be said that you have poor vision, and you will have to bear the consequences by yourself!"
Meng Hetong took a deep look at Xu Qingmo and said nothing more.
Xu Qingmo didn't like things like rouge and gouache, but when walking on the street, he would still walk into the shop from time to time and take a look. He picked up a box of the latest rouge and rubbed some on his hands.
"Huh?" Hua Ying leaned over and said, "This color is quite nice!"
"Girl, you have good eyesight. This is the latest color! It's the same color as the one used by the girls in Ningyuan Houfu!" The shopkeeper had to step forward quickly. This group of people looked like they were from a wealthy family. If they were lucky, they could also Make good money!
Meng Hetong, who was watching casually from the side, was a little surprised: "You said this was used by the girl from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?"
"Isn't that right? They use the best materials!" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up.
"Why, has that girl from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion become your signature now?" Meng Hetong found it a bit funny and couldn't help but say.
"That girl was born beautiful, but her temperament was free and easy, and she did not care about catering to the aesthetics of the capital. Now, because of this girl's free and easy boldness, she has won the favor of many people, and many women have begun to imitate her. Look, straighten your back and learn to be a heroic woman!" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"What a heroic and handsome woman!" Meng Hetong smiled, "Then you people, with your unique vision, start selling things that are commonly used by others, profiteers, profiteers!"
The shopkeeper quickly apologized and said, "It's all cleverness!"
"So, what do you think, Miss Xu?" Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo and teased.
"A woman should live for herself, and she should dress to please herself. It is the most ridiculous thing to decide her appearance based on what a man thinks is beautiful or ugly!" Xu Qingmo put down the rouge in his hand and looked at it. To the shopkeeper, "I never have a common rouge!"
The shopkeeper was a little confused at first, but then he immediately realized: "You, are you a girl from Ningyuan Houfu?"
"Our girl is exactly what you said, the heroic Miss Xu!" Hua Ying looked at the shopkeeper in front of her and said with a smile.
The shopkeeper's face was full of surprise, and then he praised: "I heard from others that the daughter of Marquis Ningyuan was extremely beautiful, resembling the late Mrs. Xu. Now it seems that she is indeed well-deserved!"
Xu Qingmo smiled and didn't say much. He just put Rouge into Qu Lian's hand: "I want this box. How much money?"
"One tael of silver!" the shopkeeper said quickly, "The materials used are all of the best quality, so don't worry, girl!"
While Huaying was still taking the money, Yusheng had already paid the money. When they left, Yusheng bowed his hands to the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper's business is booming!"
A very common move, but it made Xu Qingmo look sideways. He waited until he was far away before Xu Qingmo looked at Yusheng: "Yusheng, have you always been at the Yongchang Hou Mansion?"
"Ah?" Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I was taken into the house by my father when I was eight years old. My father is the housekeeper of Yongchang Houfu!"
"What's wrong?" Meng Hetong felt strange and asked.
"It's nothing, I just feel that what Yusheng said just now is very similar to the style of the Xingjiao Gang!" Xu Qingmo smiled.
Yusheng's eyes lit up: "Miss Xu knows about the Xingjiao Gang?"
"The Xingjiao Gang is a local snake. Cars, boats, shops, and people are all protected by them. They travel all over the country. If you want to send any news, the Xingjiao Gang is the best!" Xu Qingmo said softly.
Yusheng immediately smiled and said: "Miss Xu is really right. I came to the Yongchang Hou Mansion and lived with my uncle. My uncle was a walking helper. I followed my uncle all over the country for several years. In the end, my father felt that I It’s time to study and write, so that’s why I was brought to the Yongchang Marquis’ residence!”
"That's it!" Xu Qingmo smiled, "It's hard work to travel around, but it's very free. Don't you feel uncomfortable being detained in the capital?"
"It's not bad, our eldest son is not a person who lives at home. He walks here and there every day and doesn't feel constrained!" Yusheng said with a smile, "It's so hard to walk around, it's not as good as the eldest son's. Have peace of mind around you!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense. When he was called by his father, he ran away dozens of times. Finally, I got a little annoyed and had a long fight with him, and then he stayed safely. !" Meng Hetong exposed Yusheng.
Yusheng scratched his head in embarrassment: "I am eight or nine years old when I learn about studying. My father only remembers it. Learning is slow and difficult, and my father is unreasonable. If you don’t go in, you keep scolding me, and from time to time the black tiger comes and takes out your heart, so I will definitely run away!”
Hua Ying on the side couldn't hold back and laughed softly.
Seeing Huaying smiling, Yusheng became even more embarrassed: "Don't laugh at me. If our eldest son hadn't set up a small stove for me in the middle of the night to teach me how to read, with my father's method, I would definitely have run away!"
"I'm not laughing at you!" Hua Ying said with a smile, but she couldn't hold back the smile on her lips.
Yusheng was embarrassed and talked to Huaying, hoping that he would stop laughing at him. Meng Hetong did not stop Yusheng and let him pester Huaying to talk, while he followed Xu Qingmo: "How do you know about the Xingfei Gang?"
"Is it weird?" Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong, "In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the Xingjiao Gang is always involved. I have a real estate shop in my name, how come I don't know about the Xingjiao Gang?"
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then smiled: "My mother also owns a real estate shop, but my mother doesn't know what a foot gang is! You are really different from ordinary rich ladies!"
Xu Qingmo paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "I am different from those pampered ladies!"
