The woman was wearing a crimson dress with no other complicated jewelry, except for two red coral earrings placed side by side on her left ear.
Following her movements, the earrings swayed leisurely and sparkled.
Lin Ruzhi became angry: "My aunt... do you know who I am?"
"I know, Lin Xu's idiot daughter," the woman sneered. "She has been virtuous since she was a child. She relied on her family's power to do evil in Suidu. When she suffered a loss, she immediately moved out of her family to save her life. Let me ask you, You are now a teenager, do you have any real ability?"
"you!"
"I heard it. You said you want to get married, right? Marry Jiang Yizhou, right? He doesn't like you, he likes your father! Don't say you have torn this bit of hair, even if I take you now Even if your hair is shaved, when Jiang Yizhou sees you, he will also say "Ruzhi, you are so beautiful!"
Lin Ruzhi's face turned pale.
"Don't think I don't know. I tried on a hairpin and pulled my hair. Isn't that an exaggeration? Didn't you just want to default on your debt and get ten hairpins for nothing? You are still making trouble in my shop. You are tired of living. Bar?!"
The woman was really angry and slapped Lin Ruzhi.
Lin Ruzhi was completely stunned.
At this time, she finally remembered who this person was.
"I'm warning you, don't come to my shop in the future - no, don't even think about coming to Nanjie again. Come here once, and I'll beat you once. Now, get out of here as far away as you can!!"
Lin Ruzhi's arrogance was suppressed for a moment, and she couldn't care about anything else. She picked up her skirt and ran away.
The two maids quickly followed.
"You...are you the big shopkeeper?" The boy who was beaten just now wiped his tears.
The woman was still angry and did not reply.
The waiter forced a smile and said, "Thank you, big shopkeeper, for rescuing the villain."
He was also very worried, "It's just that the one just now is the beloved daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and he offended her..."
"Why are you afraid of her? Her family background is good, but my family background is not good? If any elder comes out of my family, he will want to kneel down and lick his shoes!"
The woman wanted to curse a few more words, but she always felt that someone was looking at her, so she turned around for the first time.
Her anger was still lingering, and her eyes settled on the delicate beauty. Suddenly, like the spring breeze passing by, the ice and snow melted.
"……Uh-huh?"
"It's me~" Qing Lingyi smiled.
"Why are you hiding nearby and not saying anything?" Song Yunling's face is as gorgeous as a peony, but she doesn't look charming, but is extraordinarily heroic and calm.
"I want to wait until you finish your work." Qing Lingyi said obediently.
Song Yunling strode forward and hugged her into his arms.
Cheng Yang was watching from the side.
Song Yunling's nose twitched slightly, and she let go of her with a bit of disgust: "Yeah, why do you smell like a man?"
Cheng Yang on the side:?
Qing Lingyi's cheeks turned red, "Maybe it's because I'm married."
Song Yunling glanced at Cheng Yang beside him: "Oh, you mentioned it in your letter. Is it him?"
Qing Lingyi nodded.
Song Yunling rolled her eyes, "That's all she looks like."
Cheng Yang:? ?
Song Yunling frowned: "And he's too old, almost thirty."
Cheng Yang:? ? ?
Qing Lingyi smiled and said: "You think he is not good-looking, is it because of the scar on his face? That was to save me. I think General Cheng is very good-looking."
Cheng Yang burst into tears.
Well, you still love me.
"But Yun Ling," Qing Lingyi changed the subject, "Do you own this shop? You didn't even tell me in your letter."
"I bought it a few months ago, but I didn't have time to tell you," Song Yunling said. "It turned out that the jewelry they had was ugly and expensive, so they couldn't sell it and made a loss. Later I took it over and used my With the jewelry made, the store’s situation improved.”
"That's it~"
Qing Lingyi's eyebrows curved, and she opened her arms to hug her again, her voice soft, "Yun Ling, I really miss you~"
Song Yunling was two years older than her and got married two years earlier than her.
At that time, Zuo Chongsi went to Yingshan to take up his post, and Song Yunling naturally went there as well.
Suidu and Yingshan are hundreds of miles apart. Qing Lingyi and Song Yunling have not seen each other in the past two years and only exchanged notes.
The road is far away and the mountains are far away, and the letters are always so slow.
Missing is infinitely long in between.
Song Yunling smiled and touched her head, "Yeah, I miss you too."
The two chatted for a while, and Song Yunling suggested: "Let's go and sit at my place. I bought a new house in Qingshui Lane."
Qing Lingyi was about to agree, but she remembered Cheng Yang who came with her and gave him a worried look.
Song Yunling frowned displeased.
Since ancient times, women have always looked at the husband of their close friend more and more dissatisfied with her, and no matter how she looks at him, she feels that he is not worthy of him.
Fortunately, Cheng Yang showed his generosity in time, "Go and have fun."
Qing Lingyi smiled broadly.
"Which house is in Qingshui Lane? I'll pick you up later." Cheng Yang asked again.
Qing Lingyi looked at Song Yunling.
"Yu Garden." Song Yunling replied casually.
"good."
The two left the shop arm in arm.
"Zuo Chongsi was transferred back to Suidu, and it was said that he would be appointed minister of Dali Temple. In the past few days, he has been busy taking care of the last things in Yingshan. I was impatient to wait, so I came over alone. I just arrived this morning. , I thought I’d come to see the shop first, and then see you.”
Song Yunling said.
Then he asked: "What about you? Didn't you like coming to South Street in the past? Why are you so happy today?"
"General Cheng said, it's autumn, buy me some new clothes." Qing Lingyi explained.
"So the pile of clothes on the carriage I saw at the door were all bought by him?"
Qing Lingyi smiled and nodded her head.
"He still has a little money." Song Yunling said.
Her carriage was parked on the street outside her door.
It is twice as spacious as the General's Mansion. The frame is made of golden nanmu, and the cart is pulled by two sleek black horses with handsome and strong bodies.
Inside the carriage, the western side is wrapped in silk and covered with soft cushions. The windows on both sides are carved with flowers and birds, and dark blue curtains are hung.
Qing Lingyi seemed to understand now why Song Yunling commented on Cheng Yang, it was just a small amount of money.
She collapsed between the cushions and sighed in a long tone: "It's so comfortable——"
Song Yunling leaned aside lazily and said, "This carriage is bought for you."
Qing Lingyi was shocked: "Give it to me?"
Song Yunling calmly said: "Yes."
She then thought of something and said, "Yes, uh-huh."
Qing Lingyi leaned over and said, "What?"
Song Yunling took out a long wooden box next to her and handed it to her: "This is for you too."
Qing Lingyi received it happily, "A gift?"
"Well," Song Yunling said, "I designed a new hairpin last month because I was thinking about your sketch. No one in the world is more suitable than you. However, the hairpin process is too complicated and the requirements are too precise. I spent a lot of time It took three months to barely make one. There were too many flaws in the details of that one, and I was not satisfied, so I simply sold it to Fanji Shop. Later I made another one, which is the one you have. It can be said to be flawless. .”
Qing Lingyi opened the wooden box.
What catches the eye is a golden silk lantern hairpin.
Familiar, but not so familiar.
"Do you like it?" Song Yunling asked.
"I like it, just..." Qing Lingyi said with a smile, "General Cheng bought me the one you sold in Fanji's shop."
Song Yunling didn't even think about it: "You can throw away the one he gave you. It's better not to use this one."
Qing Lingyi gently stroked the gold hairpin with her fingers: "Then I won't give it up. I like both of them."
Song Yunling raised her eyebrows: "So, you like Cheng Yang?"
