Beijing.
Li Siniang had just come out of Buzhuang, followed by the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, who was very attentive.
Although it is not a well-known cloth shop in the city, it is possible that the shopkeeper has such a good attitude and has very few customers.
"The fabric we want should be delivered as early as possible. Don't delay, otherwise we won't do business with you next time!"
When Li Siniang got on the carriage, she turned around and gave some instructions. The shopkeeper of Buzhuang hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying that he would definitely deliver the goods to his door as soon as possible.
People from the nearby shop waited for the carriage to go away and came over to ask: "How many things has this woman ordered to deserve the pleasure and attentiveness of Shopkeeper Song?"
Shopkeeper Song laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, but he still said haha perfunctorily: "It's not much. We are in the capital. Is it possible that we don't see enough rich people? We can't be so short-sighted. Hahaha, I'll go back. I’m busy, let’s talk when we’re free!”
After saying that, he walked briskly to the shop.
The person behind him couldn't help but grit his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Humph, as a neighbor who has been doing business for decades, I don't know your virtues, and I am used to flattering you and putting down others. If you weren't a big customer, how could you be like this? "
It's a pity that I can't envy you. My own shop sells spices. This street is not a bustling street, and the business is not good to begin with. However, the shop opposite is still being rented out. Although it is still being renovated, I heard that it is also A person who trades in incense shops.
He glanced at the shop opposite and frowned tightly. There was not one shop, but two whole shops were taken down together. Who could be so generous?
What's even more puzzling is that if you have so much money, why do you come to this street? One or two streets past is the main street, and the business there is booming.
But it is understandable. It is said that the person in charge is from out of town and is still a little girl. She is afraid that she was deceived by the two families across the door.
These outsiders are just stupid. Many outsiders who come to the capital are like dragons crossing the river in their local area, but they still turn into bedbugs when they arrive in the capital.
Thinking of this, the man felt much better and went back humming a tune with his hands behind his back.
As soon as Li Siniang's carriage stopped at the door of her house, she heard someone say: "Siniang, you are finally back. It's snowing so heavily. Why are you still running out? What should you do if something goes wrong if the road is slippery?" ?”
Li Siniang knew who it was as soon as she heard the voice. The man she hated so much was also Bao'er's biological father, Li Dongliang, the eldest son of the Li family.
Of course, he was completely unworthy of his name. He did not become a pillar as the family expected. Instead, he was a dead wood that could not be carved.
I have been studying since I was a child, but I didn't even get admitted as a scholar. Later, I found people to arrange a lot of things, but nothing happened.
The old lady felt that he never got any experience in Beijing. Three years ago, she tried to find a way for him to go to Qijiang County to become the county magistrate. This was a position that cost a lot of money to get. She just wanted to wait. When his three-year period expires, he will use his connections to get him back to the capital, and then he will naturally get him to join the Kyoto government office and work as an official.
The result was good. When the three-year period expired, he came back early, but he spent almost all his savings to get it back. For this reason, he also lost the Li family's heirs.
The old lady had no choice but to spend her own life to get the child back, but she couldn't get it back twice in a row. For this reason, the family also started to quarrel. She no longer worked in any of the second, third, and fourth bedrooms. The old lady's private room In the future, the money will be shared equally by everyone. It’s like every penny is spent and the penny is lost!
The uncle of the Li family disliked dogs at home. When he was depressed, he accidentally saw Li Siniang. Li Siniang was not polite to him, but he often saw her going shopping. Her generosity was so scary that he envied her and also wondered how Li Siniang could use it. Where does the master have so much money?
In the sedan chair, Li Siniang's hand tightly grasped the charcoal stove in her hand, and she took several deep breaths to suppress the surging anger.
The maid Xiaolong had been following Li Siniang in the past, and later she took the initiative to follow her to the capital. She knew everything about Li Siniang and could be regarded as her confidant and good sister.
Xiaolong hugged Li Siniang beside her and said softly: "Sister Siniang, please calm down in the carriage first. I will go and meet my sister later."
Li Siniang shook her head and regained her composure, saying, "I'll go ahead. I don't want you to face such a pervert."
Xiaolong raised his eyebrows and said with great disdain: "Our master has become a master, and our wife will protect us. I am not afraid of the Li family and the Zhang family at all. Huh, he dares to attack me." If he moves his feet or is disrespectful with his words, I will let him know what it means to be a dog chewing shit, hum!"
Li Siniang smiled, pinched Xiaolong's round face, it felt tender and smooth, and then got out of the car first.
Li Dongliang is in his early thirties, of medium height, but his face is gray and gray due to excessive indulgence, his eyelids are swollen, and his dull eyes suddenly light up when he sees Li Siniang.
When Li Siniang followed him in the past, he didn't think that Li Siniang was very good. She was submissive and not good at dressing up. A woman who was not even a concubine actually pretended to be a virtuous wife, which really made him feel very boring.
He also often advises himself to work hard, not to hang out with women too late at night, etc.
But now Li Siniang has become much more beautiful for some reason. The white rabbit fur on the collar of the black satin cloak makes her facial features even more beautiful.
"Is Uncle Li busy here?" Li Siniang stepped forward, leaned over slightly and saluted, then stood up straight and asked softly.
Li Dongliang only felt that the voice of the woman in front of him was much gentler and sweeter. A pleasant aroma penetrated the tip of his nose, making Li Dongliang feel a little distraught.
I couldn't help but take a step forward and said: "I don't know why I came here. Even if I don't come here every day, I feel anxious. Only when I see you can I eat and sleep well today."
Li Siniang lowered her head and raised her eyes after a long time, with some anger in her eyes: "I can't understand what the uncle of the Li family said, and I can't believe that the uncle of the Li family really came here just for me. After all, he abandoned me and left." Those who went, and my poor baby, are gone now."
Having said this, Li Siniang felt sad and ran around Li Dongliang towards the open door of his house.
Li Dongliang was still stunned when he was pushed hard by Xiaolong who came after him and said coldly: "Uncle Li family, this is not your home. Don't block the road in front of other people's homes, okay? Huh!" "
After saying that, he went in, and then the doorman closed the door.
The moment the door closed, Li Dongliang's eyes returned to viciousness and cynicism, and he spat on the ground: "Bah, if I hadn't been forced to do anything, would you really think that I would be willing to come here to perform such a scene? How many women are waiting for me? Doting on me, how can I never forget her, Li Siniang?"
After walking a few steps, the hurried pace gradually slowed down. If Li Siniang was willing to return to her and give all the money in her hand to herself, it would not be impossible to consider giving her the status of a concubine.
It's just a pity that Li Siniang said that Bao'er was dead, but I don't know if it's true. But it doesn't matter, he doesn't care anyway.
