In Penglai Restaurant, Xue Bizhu was leaning over the counter, flipping through the account books next to him, and gently flipping the abacus in his hand.
Hearing the sound of footsteps in front of him, Xue Bizhu raised his head and glanced slightly, and saw Ren Qingrui gently throwing the copper plate in his hand and walking towards him with a smile like a flower.
Xue Bizhu picked up the pen and made a mark on the account book. He put his arms around his undulating chest and looked at Ren Qingrui with a half-smile, although he was wearing a book boy's clothes, but he still couldn't hide his beautiful appearance.
"Good sister, look at your expression as sweet as honey. It seems that you have taken advantage of your sister's husband!"
Ren Qingrui heard the ridicule in Xue Bizhu's words, her smiling face hurriedly returned to normal, and handed the twenty copper coins in her hand to Xue Bizhu's eyes like a treasure.
"I gave you 20 cents for a tea cup. It seems like it's not that difficult to make money!"
Xue Bizhu looked at Ren Qingrui's smug and charming look and couldn't help but laugh. She looked down at the twenty shiny copper coins in Ren Qingrui's hand and nodded teasingly.
“Yes, making money is not difficult at all, but it also depends on who earns it from.
I was given 20 cents for a tea cup, so only the stupid husband from my sister's family could have been 'deceived'.
This is you, my good sister. If any outsider dared to blackmail him so blatantly, he would have to go to the Yamen of the capital. "
Ren Qingrui looked at Xue Bizhu's teasing expression, her pretty face wrinkled her nose angrily: "Anyway, my little sister earned this herself!
Who allowed that stinky husband of yours to charge so much rent money from your little sister all of a sudden? With just my little sister’s little possessions, if I don’t work hard to make money, I might end up being raped by that stinky husband of yours one day because I can’t pay the rent. The stinky man was kicked out of the house.
I don’t want to be reduced to the miserable days of living alone on the streets. "
Xue Bizhu picked up the bamboo stick on the counter and lightly slapped Ren Qingrui's wrist: "Bad girl, for the little rent you need to pay every month, you can sell the night-light pearl in your room for free. It’s not enough to pay a lifetime’s worth of rent.
If you want to find an excuse to attract my husband's attention, just say no. What are you doing with all these tricks?
Do you think your sister is stupid? Or do you think my husband is stupid? Do you really think he can't see your evil thoughts? "
Ren Qingrui screamed and immediately retracted the arm that was placed on the counter. Looking at the faint red mark on her ice-skinned wrist, Ren Qingrui walked to the stool inside the counter and sat down on the stool with a resentful look.
"My little sister doesn't want this either! But who made that big bastard of yours... Sigh... Wasn't what I did obvious enough? Wasn't my intention clear enough?
However, although he didn't seem to reject me thousands of miles away, he always maintained a clear distance from my little sister.
We obviously get along day and night every day, and we can be so close to each other, but there is always an incomprehensible, insurmountable, and insurmountable chasm between our little sister and him.
I don’t know why he did this to me. Even if his heart is a stone, it should be warmed even if it cannot be covered! "
Xue Bizhu looked at Ren Qingrui's suddenly sad and desolate expression, and put down the bamboo stick in his hand at a loss. He wanted to say something to persuade, but he didn't know where to start.
It seems that it is really difficult to understand the husband’s thoughts!
The atmosphere behind the counter suddenly became quiet, which was in sharp contrast to the bustling scene in the restaurant.
"Sister Rui, maybe my husband has some unavoidable reasons."
Ren Qingrui wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers without leaving a trace, and her pretty face once again bloomed with a more charming smile. She picked up the teacup on the counter and walked out of the restaurant waving her hand.
"Sister Bizhu, I went to deliver a teacup to your man first. Who knows what trouble he will find if you are late? I finally earned twenty cents. If he wants it back again, Wouldn’t it be just a busy day in vain?”
Xue Bizhu watched Ren Qingrui's graceful figure walk out of the restaurant, her lips pressed tightly together and she shook her head gently, sighed quietly and prepared to continue calculating the accounts in the morning.
"Sister, do you think Sister Rui and her husband can really achieve righteousness?"
Xue Bizhu's delicate body suddenly trembled, and she glared angrily at Huang Lingyi, who was lying on the counter with a smile. "When did you come here? Why didn't you say a word? Do you want to scare your sister to death?"
"I came here just now, but after seeing you and sister Rui chatting so congenially, sister didn't dare to interrupt your whispers. Do you think sister Rui and her husband can really achieve success?"
"Who knows! Don't you know our husband? He looks like a lecherous devil when he looks slutty, but he looks like a pregnant eunuch when he looks serious.
Just because Sister Rui is so beautiful and beautiful in her prime, other men would have had their children running around in the past few years, but our stupid husband has never touched her with a finger.
But to us sisters, he is... hard to say, hard to say!
By the way, what do you want at the counter? "
"We don't have much mutton, donkey meat and some fresh vegetables in the kitchen. Send someone to He's business as soon as possible and ask them to deliver some early tomorrow morning. Don't delay business."
"I understand. After calculating the remaining accounts, sister will send someone to visit He's business."
"Okay, little sister, let's go to the kitchen first. This kid Xiaolu is really good at learning how to cook. After I hand over all my skills to my sister, I can feel free to be lazy when there are guests ordering signature dishes. Yes.
At that time, my sister would also go to the divination stall every day to accompany her husband and tell customers' fortunes. "
Xue Bizhu looked at Huang Lingyi's carefree back, chuckled a few times and began to calculate the remaining accounts.
"Na! The teacup you wanted."
Ren Qingrui placed the teacup in front of Mr. Liu, sat on a stool nearby and fingered the slightest trace of dirt from his nails.
Liu Mingzhi didn't care about Ren Qingrui's "bad" attitude. He picked up the teacup, poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it silently.
"Girl Ren, do you still remember what day it is today?"
"It's the eighth day of April? What's wrong?"
"No, Brother Wei just wants to tell you that you should pay the rent in seven days. Are you ready for the rent? If you can't pay the rent by then, Brother Wei will evict you!"
"Hmph! Don't worry, even if I don't eat, I won't be short of your two taels of silver in rent."
"Don't be so aggressive in your tone. You also know that my brother's family has a big business and it's not easy to support the family!
It’s fine as long as it’s not bad. "
Ren Qingrui glanced at the careless young master Liu: "You are not short of money, you are short of this girl's two taels of silver, right?"
"No, no, who am I renting to? Girl, do you think this is true?"
"you……"
Ren Qingrui was almost choked by Young Master Liu's indifferent attitude and could not speak. She glared at Young Master Liu fiercely, and Ren Qingrui continued to play with her fingernails.
When Liu Mingzhi saw Ren Qingrui looking resentful and speechless, he stopped talking and just drank the tea in his cup silently.
"I plan to go back to Shu at the end of the month to see my parents."
"Okay! You even spent the Spring Festival in the capital, and now it's already April. It's time for you to go back and check on your parents.
Ren Guo...Ren Yuanwai and Mrs. Ren are old. Their children should spend more time in front of the high hall and fulfill their filial piety. "
Ren Qingrui suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Mingzhi who looked careless. Looking at Liu Mingzhi's dull expression, Ren Qingrui bit her red lips and rubbed them for a long time before nodding her head imperceptibly.
"You...you don't want to keep me at all?"
"The sage said: If your parents are with you, if you don't travel far away, you will find a way to travel.
It is human nature for you to want to return to your hometown to fulfill your filial piety. How dare your brother dare to keep you and make you an unfilial person? In this case, wouldn't it be too great a crime for my brother?
I, the dragon, govern the country with filial piety! "
"What if...what if I never return to the capital?"
Liu Mingzhi's right hand holding the tea cup shook slightly without any trace: "Girl, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. I wish you a safe journey in advance, brother.
Brother Wei has said this to others, and I will say it to you again today.
In life, separation and separation are the norm. "
Ren Qingrui looked at Liu Mingzhi who was focusing on the tea cup in his hand. He took out a delicate purse embroidered with blooming cherry blossoms from his arms and placed it on the table. His ethereal eyes stared blankly at the haze in the sky.
There is quite a sense that a beautiful lady doesn't know what you mean, but still looks at the sky and asks about the sunset.
"Liu Mingzhi, you are so decisive. My little sister admires you. Originally, little sister, I still have a lot of questions and I want to get an answer from you.
But after hearing what you said today, I think that is no longer necessary.
It turns out that not every woman is as lucky as Sister Tao Ying. I won’t interrupt you to drink tea and welcome guests. I’ll go back first. "
Liu Mingzhi stared at Ren Qingrui's figure walking towards the restaurant for a moment, glanced at the cherry blossom purse on the table that was exactly the same as the purse Tao Ying left for him at his waist, and drank cup after cup of tea in silence.
