When the husband of the He family protected Zhou Yuchang downstairs, his eyes kept falling on the girl beside him. After he went downstairs, there were many people in front of the hall, so he also secretly protected the people around him, blocking the possible collisions of others.
He was very tall, but he subconsciously shortened his stride when walking. Zhou Yuchang looked particularly petite but not in a hurry next to him. When the two got out of the carriage upstairs in Xijue, the hem of Zhou Yuchang's skirt was hooked on the side of the carriage. The husband of the He family Not feeling embarrassed at all, he leaned over to hold up the hem of her skirt very naturally, and carefully helped her into the carriage.
When Tang Ning and the others arrived at the door, they happened to see Zhou Yuchang's shy eyes in the carriage, looking at each other with the smiling man opposite.
The friendship between the two is so sweet that it makes people feel sweet just looking at it.
Wang Yuzhen sighed with emotion: "The husband of the He family treated Sister Zhou very well. I used to see those husbands who were engaged to be married. No matter they were from ordinary family backgrounds or from wealthy families, it was not easy for them to have some respect for women. For example, the husbands of the He family This is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Lang be so considerate and caring.”
Qian Qiyue nodded: "Yu Chang has found a good husband."
"My father said that given Mr. He's literary talent and character, it would be a matter of time before he became an official and made his mark in the court. He valued Yu Chang so much. No wonder Mrs. Wenxinhou agreed to let Yu Chang marry into the He family so quickly. .”
After a pause, she turned and touched Tang Ning's shoulder:
"This He Jin can be considered one of the best, but he is still worse than your Xiao Yan."
Hearing this, Tang Ning glanced at her with a smile: "Don't think that I am the same as Sister Zhou. If you tease her, she will be shy and embarrassed. If you tease me, be careful, I will ask my aunt to punish you to copy the Diamond Sutra."
Qian Qiyue smiled shamelessly: "You are the only one who can't bear it."
Fu Jinrou looked at the two people who were laughing and chatting intimately, and felt that it was particularly annoying. She had come out to relax today, but who knew that everything would go wrong ever since she met Song Tangning and the others. She said, "Sister Zhou is gone, what about us?" Where to go next?”
Tang Ning smiled and said, "What I just said is true. Aru and I have agreed with our aunt to go to Rongzhai."
She turned to look at Qian Qiyue:
"Weren't you greedy for the chef's craftsmanship that the Gu family sent to you before? The lotus stuffed wine that my aunt buried earlier will be unsealed in the next few days. Do you want to go there with me?"
Qian Qiyue was stunned for a moment. When did she become coveted by the Gu family's cook?
Seeing Tang Ning looking at her with a smile, Qian Qiyue, although a little confused, still followed her words and said: "Of course I want to go. I haven't seen my aunt for a long time. I just happened to go over to ask for a drink. The Gu family cook I’ve been coveting your craftsmanship for a long time.”
When Fu Jinrou heard the word "Gu family", she thought of the extremely wealthy head of the Gu family whom she had heard mentioned before.
It is said that he lives in Zuozhou, has a great fortune, and has an extraordinary appearance, but he has not married a wife or taken a concubine for many years. There are only rumors that he has a close relationship with Mrs. Rongguo.
Many people in the capital wanted to deal with the head of the Gu family, but after he entered the capital, he either stayed in the Tang Mansion on Jiyun Lane or in Mrs. Rong Guo's mansion. Except for occasionally walking around in the Gu family business, he would not stay in the house at all other times. No outsiders were seen at all.
Fu Jinrou's eyes flashed. She had never seen the richest man in the world.
"I……"
Fu Jinrou just opened her mouth to say that she and Tang Ning would go to see Mrs. Rong Guo together, but Tang Ning seemed to suddenly remember and looked apologetic.
"Sister Fu, I should have invited you and Yuzhen to go to Rongzhai together, but my aunt has not been very fond of seeing outsiders since the past. I have not made an agreement with her in advance today, so I will not invite you and Yuzhen to go there. Well, later on, I’ll have someone send you lotus stuffed wine to make amends.”
What Fu Jinrou wanted to say was immediately blocked.
Wang Yuzhen said quickly: "What's wrong with apologizing? It's troublesome to come to the door rashly. I'll wait until next time I have the opportunity to send a greeting card before I go to see Mrs. Rong Guo."
Tangning raised her head and looked at Fu Jinrou: "Sister Fu, do you mind?"
Fu Jinrou was squeezing her palms, with a gentle smile on her face: "Of course not. Even if you don't mention it, I can't go. I should go back after being out for so long. If it's too late, my uncle and the others will be worried."
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's good, I was worried about you blaming me." She smiled and said: "There are many people here, and it looks messy. How about I have someone take you back?"
Wang Yuzhen said hurriedly: "No need, my mansion's carriage is following you all the time, and I also want to buy some rouge. Sister Tang, go and do your work."
"Well, let's meet again next time we have a chance."
Yue Jian took the first step to catch the carriage. After Tang Ning led Xue Ru and Qian Qiyue into the carriage, Yue Jian drove away.
Although Fu Jinrou had a smile on her face, when she watched the carriage go away, she wanted to pinch her hands and bleed.
This Song Tangning is just as hateful as that Xiao Yan!
It was said that Mrs. Rong Guo didn't see outsiders. She was clearly looking down on her and Wang Yuzhen. Otherwise, why would she have brought Qian Qiyue there alone and dumped her and Wang Yuzhen instead? Moreover, after Mrs. Rongguo reconciled with Prince Cheng, many people pointed out that she would not attend the banquet as usual.
That radiant look has the slightest hint of cowardice and shadow that hides from outsiders.
Song Tangning looked high and mighty, but in fact, she just thought that Qian Qiyue's father was a powerful household minister, and the two of them were not as good as hers!
"Sister Fu, sister Fu?"
The voice beside her brought Fu Jinrou back to her senses: "What's wrong?"
Wang Yuzhen said: "I just saw you looking over there in a trance. I called you several times and didn't hear you." She was curious: "Sister Tang and the others have gone away. What are you looking at?"
Fu Jinrou looked away: "It's nothing, I just think Tang Ning and Ah Yue have a really good relationship."
"They are naturally good friends."
Wang Yuzhen laughed when she heard this: "Sister Tang is a princess with a noble status, sister Qian is also from a noble family, and sister Zhou is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. The relationship between the three of them is the best."
"In the past, when Duke Ding's identity was unknown and he was still Governor Xiao, Jiyun Lane was a forbidden area for the rich and powerful, and no one dared to disturb it easily. However, Sister Qian and Sister Zhou were exceptions. Not only could they enter and exit Tang Mansion at will, On the other side, even Ding Guoyong is very kind to them."
Fu Jinrou paused slightly: "I heard that Duke Dingguo is a cold man. Is he still warm?"
"Of course, you have never seen him being considerate to Sister Tang. He is even more considerate than the husband of the He family is to Sister Zhou. And I have seen him talking to Sister Qian and Sister Zhou. Although Not to mention it feels like spring breeze, but it is indeed different from others, probably because of Sister Tang’s relationship with Aiwujiwu?”
After Wang Yuzhen finished speaking casually, she waved to the maid in the distance:
"Sister Fu, the rouge shop in Fo'anfang has a lot of new rouge and gouache. My carriage is here. Do you want to come with me to have a look?"
Fu Jinrou calmed down and said, "Okay."

As the New Year approaches, Beijing becomes more and more lively, and there are constant shouts in the streets and alleys.
There was a dispute in the rouge shop facing the street.
"I was the first to like this rouge, why should I give it to you?"
"Just because I am more noble than you, I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion, and you are just the daughter of a low-ranking seventh-rank official, how dare you steal something from me?"
"you!"
The little girl's eyes were red with anger.
The woman in the red dress opposite was full of arrogance: "Besides, the items in this shop cost thousands of dollars, can you afford it?"
She looked aside disdainfully: "Keep your eyes open when doing business in the future, wrap up all these rouge, gouache, lipstick and eyebrow makeup for me, and send them to the Marquis Mansion."
The little girl in yellow had tears in her eyes and was too angry to speak.
The people around me also felt sad, and they felt intimidated when looking at the dazzling array of things.
At this moment, someone from behind the crowd said, "Wait a minute, this is Tmall's New Year's Festival. The stores are bullying customers, and with tens of billions of subsidies, everyone can afford my products."
The shopkeeper walked up to the little girl in yellow and said: "This girl, GIVENCHY official flagship store, New Year limited items, members buy 1 and get 6, exclusive Tmall New Year goods limited time sale, do you want one?"
