"When Mrs. Qin came out of the dormitory in Baoxiang Temple, she was riding in a sedan. But for some reason, the bearer who carried the sedan refused to go back to the waterwheel alley, and carried Mrs. Qin around for a long time. A circle." Liao Haohai's boy said.
"Mrs. Qin returned to the foot shop and walked in properly. However, the basket she was carrying was gone, and she had an extra cloak on her body."
Liao Haohai asked: "Can you see clearly, who is she seeing?"
The boy shook his head: "There are guards outside the dormitory, so I don't dare to get too close."
Liao Haohai pondered for a moment and looked at the sky outside. It was already dark.
"Go to Fanlou." He said.
Just as he was about to set off, the boy who had been watching the Luo family rushed over: "Lang Jun, the fourth lady of the Luo family has gone out. Lang Jun guessed it right, the direction she went to is exactly the direction of the fan shop." Five hundred coins , enough to make the Luo family excited.
Liao Haohai reined in his horse, thought for a while, and told the boy Ah Qi: "Go to Fanlou and send a message to Chen Xiaodong's family, saying that I want to eat the same flat food as Mrs. Qin makes."
Ah Qi's eyes widened: "Yes..." Isn't this the fun of going to Fan Tower? Can Mrs. Qin’s cooking skills compare to Chen Xiaodong’s?
Liao Haohai had already beaten his horse and left.
Although it was getting dark, it was still a busy time, so the fan shop was naturally not closed yet.
Luo Siniang held the fan that Mrs. Ding gave to Luo Dalangjun in her arms, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
The eldest brother kindly asked her to sell the fan to a fan shop for four hundred guan. If he can really sell it for four hundred guan, then he will share 100 guan with her, and he will also speak kindly in front of his mother and try his best to find a good marriage for her.
Luo Siniang was tempted.
What tempted her was not the hundred dollars, but the good marriage.
Every daughter of the Luo family is born to pave the way for the men of the Luo family. This is true for the eldest sister, and so is the second sister. It's a pity that the marriage between the eldest sister and the second sister failed to make daddy rise to prominence.
She has already reached hair extensions, and there is not much time left for her.
There was a fan shop in front of her. Luo Siniang mustered up her courage and walked in.
She has been to this fan shop many times because her eldest brother likes Shu embroidery and Su embroidery fans, but the fans are expensive. She and her third sister thought that if they could secretly learn how to embroider fans, their eldest brother would not have to look at the fans and sigh. .
It's a pity that she and her third sister are stupid, and their family can't afford an embroiderer who knows Shu embroidery and Su embroidery, so they never learn it.
But just last winter, Sister Ding, who admired her eldest brother, spent a lot of money to buy him a Suzhou embroidered fan.
That's what Liao Haohai said about Yao Huangfan.
The store owner was a little surprised when he saw Luo Siniang: "Luo Siniang, this is..."
When Luo Siniang explained her intention, the store owner looked in disbelief: "Four hundred guan? Isn't it true that Luo Siniang said something wrong?" This Yaohuang fan had some flaws and was sold to Mrs. Ding at a low price. of. Now this Lady Luo Si actually sold him 400 guan? !
Luo Siniang looked around and lowered her voice: "Store, please rest assured, someone will definitely buy this Yao Huang fan at a high price."
The store owner took a few steps back and tried his best to maintain a reasonably friendly smile on his face: "It's getting late, Madam Luo Si, you'd better go home early."
Going home? If she goes home without selling it into fans, big brother won't tear her apart!
Mrs. Luo Si's face was full of pain: "Please help the store, someone will definitely buy this fan at a high price..."
If it weren't for the fact that she was an old acquaintance, the store owner would have beaten her awake.
But she's always in the store, so that's not an option. The shopkeeper was distressed when he suddenly saw a tall figure walking in: "Ms. Luo Si, I would like to buy this Yao Huang fan for five hundred guan."
scare? Is there really someone who was taken advantage of?
Wait, isn't this handsome gentleman Liao Haohai, the judge of Dali Temple?
Mrs. Luo Si's face was filled with shame. When she came out to sell fans, she originally wanted to sell them to Liao Haohai through the fan shop. Unexpectedly, she met the real owner before she sold them.
Liao Haohai's voice was gentle: "Ms. Luo Si, let's go out and talk."
She grabbed her fan in a panic, her thoughts a little confused. The eldest brother originally wanted to sell it to Liao Langjun, so it should be possible for her to sell it directly to Liao Langjun.
The spring breeze outside was soft, and an expensive-looking horse watched with wide eyes as its owner led a blushing young lady out of the fan shop, and then stopped beside it.
Liao Haohai motioned to the boy to take out the banknote and give it to Luo Siniang.
Luo Siniang clutched the bank note, feeling a little dazed. Is this it? Is this sold?
She looked at Liao Haohai holding the fan and playing with it, but she didn't seem to cherish it that much.
Liao Langjun probably wanted to ask about Sister Ding through the fan. Luo Siniang suddenly took courage: "The fan was indeed given to my eldest brother by Sister Ding, but I really don't know anything about other things. As for why Sister Ding suddenly disappeared, she, she had a heart problem. Maybe something stimulated her that day, and she had a sudden heart attack..."
Liao Haohai raised his eyebrows: "Ms. Luo Si also knows that Mrs. Ding is suffering from a heart disease?"
"I play better with her. Although she hides it well, I know it once the illness occurs..." In fact, it was that time that her mother knew that Sister Ding had a heart disease and immediately warned them, Don't associate with Sister Ding. This heartache can be big or small, it would be bad if the Ding family blackmailed their Luo family.
It was at that time that Mrs. Luo Si knew that Sister Ding would never marry her eldest brother.
Sister Ding admires her elder brother as always. The situation of the Ding family is obviously not much better than that of the Luo family, but Sister Ding still squeezed out the money from her teeth and bought the Yao Huang fan for her eldest brother.
Luo Siniang actually sympathized with Mrs. Ding.
But some things cannot be changed by sympathy.
"I know." Liao Haohai said casually.
He knew that Luo Siniang was not lying. The ones who knew the truth were Luo Dalangjun and Luo Sanniang.
"Ah Qi, escort Luo Si to her home." Liao Haohai said, "Luo Si has a banknote on her, so you'd better be careful."
Luo Siniang lowered her head and suddenly said: "Liao Langjun, can you give me some pieces of silver notes instead of whole ones?"
Liao Haohai agreed to Luo Siniang's request and exchanged it for her with scattered silver notes. In front of him, Luo Siniang folded the four hundred silver notes together and hid the other one hundred silver notes in Luo's socks.
Liao Haohai: "..." Madam Luo Si really didn't treat him as an outsider. She didn't even confess to him. After hiding the banknote, she gave him a blessing and turned to leave.
Liao Haohai looked at Mrs. Luo Si's slender figure, and suddenly felt that Mrs. Luo Si was somewhat similar to Mrs. Qin.
Speaking of Mrs. Qin... Liao Haohai looked at the fan in his hand and decided to go home and give the fan to Qin Wanwan before turning back to the Qin family restaurant.
The weather was very good and the spring breeze was warm. When Liao Haohai returned to Youlan Courtyard, the window in Qin Wanwan's room was wide open, the light filled the room, and Qin Wanwan was standing in front of the window painting.
Liao Haohai felt very satisfied when he saw this situation.
He waved his fan and walked under the window to watch Qin Wanwan paint.
Qin Wanwan is indeed a talented woman, and she is very good at meticulous painting. She drew carefully and felt tired. She put down the pen and looked up to see Liao Haohai. She was immediately startled: "You're back? Hey, how did you know that I like this Yao Huang fan? I wanted to buy it last year. But the store said it was defective, so I didn’t buy it. Later, it was no longer available. I asked again and found that this Yao Huang fan had been bought by someone else. It turned out that you bought it."
Liao Haohai was a little stunned, what a coincidence!
