It was late at night, and Bai Lian's nest was very quiet. Xia'er gently pushed open the door of Mr. Xie's room and called in a low voice: "Mr. Xie."
I tiptoed to the bed, but it was empty. Xie Fu hadn't come back yet.
Xia'er waited like this all night.
Until dawn, Xie Fu did not return all night.
The lady was about to get up, and Xia'er had to go back, so she left a note in a conspicuous place.
——Master Xie, the lady wants to kill you, run away quickly. Xia'er stayed.
This little lady was not afraid that the note would be seen by others, and finally let Tantai Heqing know that she was the one who tipped off the message.
Xia'er didn't think too much, she only worried about Xie Fu's life.
…
Xie Fu and Tantai Wenwang walked out of Qin Tower. It was too late last night, but they spent the night in Qin Tower.
Tantai Wenwang chatted and laughed with Xie Fu, very excited and lively, because he barely passed the test with Lady Mudan yesterday.
This is the first time that Tantai Wenwang has won the favor of Lady Peony through his own abilities. This feeling of pride and satisfaction is really difficult to describe in words.
When the two came to the entrance of Tantai Mansion, they happened to bump into Du Ruquan who was coming to Tantai Mansion.
"Master Tantai."
When Du Ruquan saw Tantai Wenwang, after saying hello politely, he curiously moved his eyes to Xie Fu who was next to Tantai Wenwang.
Faced with Du Ruquan's gaze, Xie Fu responded with a polite smile.
Tantai Wenwang looked at Du Ruquan with disdain and said nothing. In his heart, this Du Ruquan was no different from the kiln sister in the kiln.
Du Ruquan stepped aside humbly and let Tantai Wenwang and the two go ahead. Looking at the two men who smelled of alcohol and were disheveled, he snorted with disdain, "You wear a monkey's head and wear a hat, vulgar is vulgar, even if you wear the clothes of a scholar, you are still vulgar. Human-like and monkey-like.”
Du Ruquan paused his clothes and walked in. He looked like a scholar.
Tantai Wenwang didn't know that a big show was waiting for the two of them in Tantai Mansion. Xie Fu noticed that the servant's eyes and expression were a little strange today, but he didn't think much about it.
Tantai Wenwang and Xie Fu entered the study, and a servant on the other side notified Butler Kong of his knowledge. In normal times, Butler Kong would have come to express his condolences immediately, but at this moment, he hurried to the East Garden and informed the lady to come and see Mr. Xie with his own eyes. Elegance and grace.
Du Ruquan walked directly into the East Garden, and met a servant of the mansion along the way. He politely called him Mr. Du, which greatly benefited Du Ruquan. Looking at this large yard, maybe in the near future, I will become the owner of this mansion. owner.
After he went back yesterday, he thought about it and realized that it was Tantai Heqing who was testing him. How could a woman of her status be easily impressed by a man.
As for women, even a strong woman like Tantai Heqing still has to be reserved and reserved.
The reason why Tantai Heqing is still single and unmarried is that none of the men have the courage to confess to her.
He needs to be bolder and break through the insurmountable identity gap first.
Du Ruquan didn't know that these servants showed contempt and disdain after he left. He was just a man who relied on women to make a living.
Du Ruquan met Tantai Heqing's maid Hua'er on the road and asked about it, telling him that Tantai Heqing was in the study.
Du Ruquan nodded and walked towards the study.
After having breakfast every day, Tantai Heqing would go to the study first and would not go out until after Chen hour.
This has become a habit. After all, the Tantai family has such a large business and its cloth business is spread all over the world. As soon as the sun rises, it is a day's business affairs.
To maintain this wealth and prosperity, it is not as fun and enjoyable as the poor imagine.
Du Ruquan came to the door of the study, and Tantai Heqing sat in front of the big case, looking through the account books with concentration. She had been away from Suzhou for several days, and she had to go over the recent business situation of Tantai's family to have a clear idea.
Tantai He was so focused that he didn't notice Du Ruquan's arrival at all.
Du Ruquan looked at the dignified and noble Tantai Heqing, and felt the urge to bully the weak. Such a strong woman with wealth and power fell into his arms and whispered softly. What a sense of pride it felt. ah……
Du Ruquan saw that Tantai Heqing hadn't noticed him for a long time, so he couldn't directly disturb him, so he coughed.
Tantai Heqing heard the sound and looked up, slightly surprised.
Du Ruquan showed a proud smile, but Tantai looked back, lowered his head and continued to look at the account book, and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Du, why are you here?"
Although sometimes she would go back to the house with Du Ruquan to discuss business matters, it was considered as a superficial effort to show to outsiders, and she was as cold as ice. No one would believe that she was the famous Mrs. Xiaohe. Although she was stigmatized, she was indifferent. Tai Heqing has always been clean and self-sufficient.
In fact, Tantai Heqing didn't like Du Ruquan's uninvited visit.
Du Ruquan picked up the medicine bag on his hand, "On the way back to Suzhou, I saw that the young lady kept coughing, so I specially grabbed some medicine for the young lady."
"Oh, please sit down first."
Du Ruquan found a seat and sat down. He pondered in silence for a while. Just when he was about to speak, Tantai Heqing suddenly said loudly: "Hua'er, pour a bowl of tea for Shopkeeper Du."
Soon Hua'er brought a bowl of tea. Du Ruquan drank the tea and looked at Tantai Heqing from time to time. Compared to himself, it seemed that she was more interested in the account books. Finally, she couldn't help but said: "Miss, how long will you continue to be busy?" ?”
Tantai Heqing did not raise his head and replied: "I haven't looked at these accounts for several days. I'm afraid I won't have time to greet you today. Shopkeeper Du, why don't you go back first."
"It's okay, I'll just sit here and wait for the lady to finish her work."
Tantai Heqing frowned slightly, couldn't you see that I wanted to see off a guest? How could he be so ignorant of current affairs and not say anything?
Du Ruquan couldn't sit still for a while, but he couldn't bear it anymore. Being so tough and tough didn't count as courage, so he stood up and said, "Miss, do you need my help with the accounts?"
Tantai Heqing's expression no longer concealed, and his frown deepened. Just as he was about to give the eviction order, Butler Kong hurried in and said excitedly: "Miss, the young master is back."
Hearing this, Tantai Heqing immediately stood up and walked towards Butler Kong.
Du Ruquan immediately became jealous of Tantai Wenwang. I've been waiting for you for a long time and you ignored me. When he heard that Tantai Wenwang was back, he immediately stopped looking at the account books.
Tantai Heqing left Du Ruquan in the study and hurried to the West Garden.
In fact, in Tantai Heqing's heart, nothing was more important than Wenwang. What was the reason for her daughter to show up and support the family? It was not for this younger brother.
When both parents died, Wenwang was the last incense of the Tantai family. If Wenwang could make a difference, it would be considered as comfort to his parents in heaven.
And her sister is not important at all.
Wen Wang, do you know how much my sister hopes that you can become a talented person? If your father and mother have spiritual spirits, you will be extremely happy to see you.
Just as he was about to enter the study room where Tantai Wenwang usually studied and wrote, Butler Kong suddenly stopped.
