"It's the first time to make a private order. It's inevitable that some ladies will be erratic. After a day or two, the medicinal diet will take effect, and more people will want to order. Then we can limit the number of people."
"I will let this news out for the next order." Uncle Yuan nodded and said.
Shen Yue took a sip of tea and asked something about the county magistrate's mother casually.
Uncle Yuan thought she was worried about Wang Fugui, so he smiled and said, "Miss Ah Yue, there is no need to worry. In the past, Mrs. Jiang did not ask about the affairs of the house. The news came a few days ago that Huang San went to Mrs. Jiang and was After being beaten out, Wang Fugui can’t think of anything else these days.”
Besides, they added fuel to the fire, so even if he comes out, he won't be able to do anything evil!
Shen Yue's eyes flashed when she heard this. It seemed that she had remembered the reminder she had given Aunt Jiang.
She put down the teacup and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan, for always thinking about this matter. It looks like it's almost noon. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Yes! I almost forgot. Miss Ah Yue, please wait a moment. I found some good wine koji from the old cellar yesterday. I'll get them for Miss Ah Yue." After finishing speaking, Uncle Yuan rushed to the kitchen.
Shen Yue poured herself another cup of tea and continued to drink tea leisurely. She was about to take a break with her eyes squinted when suddenly a figure appeared in front of her, blocking the light.
Shen Yue frowned, then raised her eyelids slightly and found Hua Rui standing in front of her with a smile.
"Sister Hua... Rui, why are you here?" Shen Yue asked in surprise.
After hearing what Shen Yue said, Hua Rui looked at her with some dissatisfaction and put her hands on her waist, "What? From what you said, do you think you don't welcome me here?"
"That's not true." Shen Yue's tone was a little distant.
She has not forgotten what Uncle Yuan told her that day. She felt that it was necessary to keep a distance from Hua Rui. After all, if Uncle Yuan hadn't reminded her, he might have fallen into her trap.
But now that she is a customer, she just needs to entertain her.
"Obviously!" Hua Rui glanced at Shen Yue with some complaints, and then spoke again, "I didn't see you when I came to get sake yesterday. Tell me, are you deliberately not wanting to see me and avoiding me? !”
"Something happened yesterday. I didn't stay long and left. I didn't mean to avoid you."
After listening to Shen Yue's words, Hua Rui's expression became slightly better, and then she stood in front of her and turned around, "Take a look, is there anything different about me today?"
Shen Yue raised her head and glanced at her in confusion. Why did she feel like a girlfriend was asking her boyfriend?
She shook off the thoughts in her mind and began to look at Hua Rui in front of her seriously.
This...is not any different...
"Did you change into a new dress?"
"No, look carefully."
"Have you changed to new powder?"
"..."
"Is that new lipstick?"
After a few rounds, the expression on Hua Rui's face gradually turned a bit resentful, "Look carefully, is there anything different on my head?"
After she said this, Shen Yue noticed that Hua Rui seemed to be wearing a new hairpin today. Why did she look familiar?
Seeing Shen Yue's confused expression, she walked closer and took her arm, "Does it look familiar? I specially asked someone to make this for me. I saw the beautiful one on your head, so I I was thinking of making a hairpin for sisters!"
As she said this, she couldn't help but show a little bit of pride on her face, as if she was saying, "Come on, praise me."
"Look, is it not much different from you?"
Hua Rui looked like she wanted to take credit, but Shen Yue looked at it without any expression and just smiled politely.
"Then let's go have dinner together later!" Hua Rui didn't seem to notice the alienation on Shen Yue's face, and pulled her to leave.
Shen Yue quickly took her hand out of her arms and said, "Sorry, I'm going home soon. I'm afraid I won't have time to eat together."
Facing Hua Rui's unprovoked approach to her, Shen Yue refused without thinking. She didn't want to be quietly sold to Huamanlou.
Seeing Shen Yue who was so reluctant to stay with her, Hua Rui also felt a little strange. They got along very well not long ago, why did they suddenly become like this?
After thinking about it, she didn't think of anything wrong, so she asked Shen Yue directly, "What's wrong, A Yue? Aren't you hungry? Why do I feel that you are so hostile to me? We haven't seen each other for a few days. , it’s like you’ve become a different person.”
She was so excited that she didn't notice Shen Yue's emotions, but now she found that she was showing alienation and indifference everywhere.
Seeing that she was still pretending to be confused, Shen Yue couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. He obviously wanted to make friends with her sincerely, but he didn't expect that she had such a purpose!
Shen Yue took two deep breaths, and after thinking about it, she still felt that it would be better to explain it clearly once, so as to save her from coming to find him again in the future.
"When you approach me, do you want to take me to Huamanlou?"
Facing Shen Yue's straightforward question, Hua Rui felt her face heat up. She had indeed thought about it before, but now that she thought about it, she still felt very ashamed of Shen Yue.
"Listen to me, Ah Yue." Hua Rui looked at her sincerely.
"I am indeed a person with a lot of flowers. I admit that when I first saw you, I did have such thoughts, but it was only for a moment. Since the contact, I feel very ashamed that I have had such thoughts. .”
"Now! I really want to treat you as a close friend."
"Friends?"
Hua Rui nodded heavily and pointed to the sky with three fingers, "Yes! I, Hua Rui, swear to God that I will never have such thoughts again now and in the future! I, Hua Rui, sincerely regard Shen Yue as my confidant!"
When Shen Yue heard this, she was a little shocked.
The ancients believed that oaths were the most important. Since Hua Rui dared to swear like this, it proved that she sincerely regarded her as a confidant.
Shen Yue stared at her for a moment and found that her expression was resolute, her attitude was sincere, and her eyes did not flicker, so she was obviously not lying.
Shen Yue fell silent.
She had a very good impression of Hua Rui. From beginning to end, she didn't seem to have done anything or said anything unfavorable to her.
Hua Rui was also a little anxious, as if her eyes were glued to Shen Yue, "I thought you were beautiful from the beginning. I had that thought for just a moment. Ever since I came into contact with you, from the beginning to the end In the end, I never had this thought again! I really want to make friends with you."
After a long silence.
"Okay." After a long while, Shen Yue said, "It's okay to be friends. I hope the relationship between us is pure."
Upon hearing Shen Yue's agreement, Hua Rui's eyes immediately shone brightly, and a bright smile appeared on her delicate little face.
He immediately gave Shen Yue a bear hug, his voice was inaudible, "Since I have been deeply involved in the mud, I naturally know its dangers, so how can I drag you into it?"
