Bai Yunfei smiled apologetically as he cupped his hands together. It was obvious that he didn't want to pretend to be passionate. After taking a sip of the tea, he slowly said, "This tea doesn't taste that good?"
Shui Rou could feel that the two of them disliked each other, but the disgust she felt towards Bai Yunfei made her heart ache slightly.
In the entire half month since she played the zither and listened to the song, she had almost never seen Bai Yunfei. She knew he must be here. A woman's intuition told her that he liked to dress up as a boy.
"Greetings to the two gongzis!" With a calm expression, she went forward and bowed to the two of them, her gaze landing on Xiaoxiao.
"Sit!" "You're welcome!" She felt like she was already that familiar, yet she was still pretending. To her, this was hypocrisy. She always hated hypocritical people. Moreover, this woman's eyes were always so dazzling, and she never stopped looking at him.
Shui Rou did not sit down. Instead, she asked the girl to bring some things over and place them on the table in front of Xiaoxiao. The design on the cloth looked very exquisite. The most important thing was that she saw rouge blossoms on the cloth, they were about the same size and shape as her own chest.
What do you mean?
She looked at Shui Rou, waiting for a reasonable explanation.
"A friend brought this back from Peruvian. Shui Rou saw that Young Master Mi liked purple, so she specially brought two of them. I hope Young Master Mi likes them." Shui Rou pointed at the light purple piece of cloth and even intentionally placed the rouge flower on her palm, allowing Xiaoxiao to see it more clearly.
"Thank you, young lady. These things are suitable for women. As a man, I don't need them. You should take them back!" He didn't even look at it for a second and directly looked away. Needless to say, she had already guessed why Shui Rou was here. However, she wasn't a fool.
Bai Yunfei's drinking of tea suddenly stopped. He thought to himself, "Even he didn't notice that Xiao Xiao liked purple, isn't she a little too meticulous?"
He stared at Shui Rou suspiciously. The more he looked, the more unfriendly this woman had become.
Shui Rou's expression was a little ugly, but she did not show any displeasure on her face. With a faint smile, she kindly said, "Since that's the case, then Shui Rou will take it back."
Logically speaking, her pride wouldn't let up so easily if she were to hit a wall. However, she didn't say anything this time. His eyes looked around the hall as if he were looking for something.
"Is the girl looking for the painting?" Xiaoxiao knew that this woman would definitely ask her about the painting.
"Yes!"
Shui Rou did not hide anything and just replied directly.
Xiaoxiao stood up with a smile on her face. She turned around and told Shui Rou, "Does this lady still remember the day that we met Master Everlasting?"
"No regrets!" Shui Rou's body tensed up as panic flashed across her eyes. However, it only lasted for a short while before her expression returned.
He could not see anything with his back facing Shui Rou, but Bai Yunfei could see everything clearly. Bai Yunfei suddenly moved closer to Shui Rou and asked with a serious expression, "Miss Shui Rou seems to be very afraid of that master who calls himself without regrets?"
"Ugh …" How could that be? Shui Rou liked befriending others, but since she was young, she didn't like the smell of incense, so she never entered temples. "I don't regret Master being in the temple all year round, and having the scent of perfume on her body, so …" Shui Rou was almost at a loss for words when she heard this question.
"So that's how it is! Everyone has their own habits, just like how I don't like people who are too hypocritical. " The news was all over the place. He hoped that this woman knew what it meant to retreat and not come back.
After pausing for a moment, she continued, "I do not regret Master's words about the woman in the painting. Her temperament is exceptional, and her righteousness is extraordinary. After thinking about it, it would be a waste to hang the painting in the hall. Jiuxiang being intoxicated was more appropriate, since hanging the portrait of a beauty is pretty good anyway. Yesterday, those bawd people were still staring at the painting foolishly, wanting us to give them a full face. Look! Now that business is flourishing, I really have to thank Miss Shui Rou. "
This was completely unexpected for Shui Rou. She was willing to hang the painting on the Nine Fragrance Intoxicated, could it be that her estimation was wrong?
No!
She couldn't believe it. She remembered that she didn't see the painting on the first day. She must have wanted to hide something so she hung the painting on the other side.
His heart ached!
He really regretted his actions back then.
Xiaoxiao saw through Shui Rou's thoughts, and explained patiently, "On the opening day, I was in too much of a hurry, so I forgot that the painting was hung on the second day, so everyone felt that it was appropriate. It would seem that Miss Shui Rou has been too busy these days and did not have the time to visit Nine Fragrance's infatuation, so I do not know about it. "
"Ugh …" These days, Shui Rou has too many friends, so she's been rather busy and hasn't been out for quite a while. " Shui Rou nodded as she felt the questioning in her voice, causing her anger that had just been suppressed to reignite.
Of course, she couldn't find any reason to be angry, not to mention that she was here to scout things out. Such an answer wasn't considered to be nothing.
"Young lady, you have more time to go to the Nine Incense Sachet, where you can make women more beautiful." Thinking about how the woman should leave, he thought of something else. "You came that day, and I was too tired, so I came back early to rest. I guess there were too many people in that day, and the girls haven't really enjoyed our service yet. Come on, bring Miss Shui Rou to be enchanted by the Nine Incense, and let her enjoy all of today's projects for free. "
Seeing that Xiaoxiao did not even give Shui Rou the chance to speak anymore nonsense, Bai Yunfei also agreed, "That's right! Lady Shui Rou, many of the ladies have gone, but none of them are willing to leave. I believe that Miss Shui Rou will definitely like it as well.
Since the order to expel her guest had already been sent out, Shui Rou felt too embarrassed to continue staying here no matter how thick-skinned she was. After a slight bow, she followed Lucky out the door.
When she reached the door, she even turned around to look at Xiaoxiao, and a trace of hatred ignited in her eyes.
Xiaoxiao also noticed it and felt a bit hesitant. She also felt that if she could stay away from him for the time being, it might be a good thing. In any case, once Tian Jiu was found, many things would truly become known. Even if Shui Rou really wasn't an enemy, she wouldn't completely offend him.
Holding her chin in her hands, her thoughts moved in another direction. He wondered how he could find Tian Jiu faster. Find out the truth.
"Alright, let's go. She'll come back in the future and let us know that she isn't here. This woman is very strange. I think it's best for you to stay away from her. Especially the way she looks at you, it makes my hair stand on end. " Bai Yunfei clapped his hands and looked at Shui Rou's back in disgust.
"I don't regret Master telling me this before he left, telling me to stay away from her and that this woman is not simple at all." Xiaoxiao told Bai Yunfei what she had said before she left, and also hoped that he would need to be careful when dealing with Shui Rou in the future.
"No wonder!" "Just now, seeing how scared she was and not regretting Master, I think that this woman is not simple at all. Could it be that she isn't a person, but …" Bai Yunfei did not dare to say the following words out loud as he was afraid of scaring Xiao Xiao.
Xiaoxiao shook her head and slowly said, "I'm not regretting that the Grandmaster did not say anything. However, I feel that she is really interested in you."
"Forget it! If it's really not a human but a wolf, wouldn't marrying me home lead to a wolf? " Bai Yunfei had a look of fear on his face. As he talked about the wolf, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
Swallowing his saliva, he realized that the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became to hear the animal's name. As she thought about it, her face turned blue, and her heartbeat quickened.
"You're scared too!" Bai Yunfei blamed himself deeply. He stretched out his hand to hold Xiaoxiao's, and her ice-cold hand caused his heart to ache.
"You're not afraid?" The more she thought about it, the more her whole body trembled. She rubbed her hands together and took a sip of hot tea to calm her heart.
Bai Yunfei also took a sip of tea before asking about other things, "I can see that a lot of the herbs aren't mine. Where are you going to get so many prescriptions?"
Xiao Min's eyes wandered and she frowned. After thinking for a while, she replied, "I used to have a friend who runs this kind of beauty salon. She often gave me face when I went there. After a while, he memorized many recipes. I never thought that this place would be quite useful. "
Just thinking about it made him happy. Learning a few things could really earn him a lot of money. However, in addition to requiring a certain amount of medicinal herbs, these prescriptions also required a large amount of fresh flowers. Thus, another thought entered his mind, "Can I go to the outskirts of the city and find a place where I can grow flowers? I'm afraid if my business continues, I won't be able to gather that many flowers."
Pow!
Bai Yunfei clapped his hands and suddenly came to a realization, "Yesterday, Qiu Tian was asking me about this, but I was so busy that I forgot about it."
"It's been hard on you these days, you rich second generation. It's fine, I'll go out of the city tomorrow." I haven't had time to walk around these days when I've been so busy with these things. " Xiaoxiao's face was filled with gratitude. She felt that she could not keep busy with the business in her hands, so she had to go out and gain some knowledge.
At this moment, Huang Shan rushed into the hall, sat back obediently, and picked up a cup of tea.
"Mistress. Mistress. There is a young master called Xuanyuan who requests to see you." Huang Shan did not even stand firm before he reported it.
"Xuanyuan!"
Xiaoxiao stood up, and the cup in her hands clattered to the ground. She really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"What's wrong? What kind of person made you panic like that? " Bai Yunfei furrowed his brows and walked up to Xiaoxiao, asking her with good intentions.
"Ai …" Someone I really don't want to see. " A little heart to pull a cold, NND! How long had it been since they left? Wasn't it too embarrassing to be caught like this?
Moreover, there were still a lot of things that needed to be done, so she didn't want to go back to that birdcage!
"Go back to that Young Master Xuanyuan. Tell him that Young Master Mi went out to meet his friends." Bai Yunfei hated to see such a sad appearance.
"Yes sir!" Huang Shan turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. "Mistress, that man doesn't seem to be easy to deal with. I'm afraid …"
It's not easy to get rid of?
Who is it?
Xuanyuan Qi? Xuanyuan Ye? Or Xuanyuan Jie?
It was Xuanyuan Jie!
That guy was the toughest of the three.
After hesitating nervously for a while, if it really was Xuanyuan Jie, then this matter would be troublesome.
Walking back and forth, she glanced at Bai Yunfei, unsure of what to do.
"Let him in. Xiao-Xiao, go hide in the backyard." Bai Yunfei placed his hands on his shoulders and gave her a look of trust.
Xiaoxiao seemed a little stiff and stiff, but Bai Yunfei signaled with his eyes and Huang Shan carefully carried the person into the back hall.
