Chapter 73 Old acquaintance

 Zhou Sumiang didn’t look through it for long before she selected two items.

Guo Xier took a look and found that these two models were among the best-selling models on weekdays. Su Niang got the news from her best friend about this week.

Upon seeing this, He Xiaoyue immediately opened the relevant bills.

"Ms. Zhou, please go to the dressing room and get measured."

Zhou Sumiang stood up and went to the dressing room. He Xiaoyue took a tape measure and a notebook and followed in. A maid who was with her also wanted to follow, but Zhou Sumiang gave her a sharp look and scolded:

"rude!"

Guo Xier quickly stopped the maid and explained that custom-made underwear is different from other clothes. You have to take off your clothes to the point where you are almost naked before you can measure your body. If your aunt doesn't want you to serve her personally, it's better not to go in.

The maid who followed was not Zhou Sumiang's personal maid, but more of a "monitor and protector". After Guo Xi'er said this, she no longer insisted on going in to serve her.

He Xiaoyue helped Zhou Sumiang take off her clothes, and hung them up piece by piece until the flesh-hugging shirt was exposed, and then started to measure her bust with a measuring tape. Just as she was leaning over, Zhou Sumiang lowered her voice and asked: "You

Don't be too loud, I have something to ask you."

He Xiaoyue was startled and almost dropped the measuring tape. She calmed down and whispered: "What's the matter?"

"Is there a man here..."

The word "man" came to her ears, and she immediately became alert. When the family members of a wealthy family go out, the most taboo thing for the head of the family is to have contact with foreign men. And the family members who are bored at home and have nothing to do all day often take advantage of such opportunities.

Secret lover.

If you want to do business with a wealthy family, you cannot commit this taboo. Therefore, Wanzi Pavilion has specially emphasized in the education of its employees: it is not allowed to be a matchmaker, and it is not allowed to have private meetings between men and women in the store; in addition, contact with women is not allowed.

The customer's employees are all female. Male designers, craftsmen, and technicians generally do not have contact with female customers. If they do, female colleagues must be present to avoid unclear things about what happened.

But when Zhou Sumiang asked her so seriously, she couldn't answer.

"There are many male employees in our store, who are you talking about?" He Xiaoyue was vague...

"The one who delivered your meal just now..."

"Wu Xinsheng?!" He Xiaoyue was startled and said the name involuntarily. She suddenly regretted: How could I answer her?

"So his name is Wu Xinsheng..." Zhou Sumiang seemed a little disappointed and asked, "Is this his real name?"

"I don't know about this. I've only been here a few months." He Xiaoyue spoke more carefully.

"Is there a burn scar on his left elbow?"

"Well, I don't know..." He Xiaoyue shook her head, "His left arm is disabled. Besides, he always wears clothes."

"Then...how old is he?"

"About thirty." He Xiaoyue tried to blur the words as much as possible. She didn't know why she was so interested in Wu Xinsheng. But one thing she knew was that she couldn't mess with this!

An excited expression suddenly appeared on Zhou Sumiang's face, and she murmured to herself: "Yes, the age matches..."

He Xiaoyue just wanted to end the measurement quickly, and her hands sped up: "Please raise your arm."

"Is he from Xiangshan County?"

He Xiaoyue hesitated and said: "Master Wu is indeed from Guangdong. I don't know if he is from Xiangshan County."

There was a complicated expression on Zhou Sumiang's face, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare. She hesitated several times.

How could He Xiaoyue dare to talk to her again? With sweat on her forehead, she quickly measured the measurements and recorded them in her notebook.

It was about the time the body measurement was about to end, and Zhou Sumiang had a conflicted look on her face. Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she took out a letter from her arms and thrust it into her hand. She said hurriedly:

:

"Girl, I know you are a good person. It is very inconvenient for me, and I cannot elaborate on some things. Please, girl, please forward this letter to that Master Wu!"

"This..." He Xiaoyue almost screamed, and subconsciously pushed the letter out. It must have been because the noise was louder, and Guo Xier outside asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing," He Xiaoyue said quickly, "My tape measure fell off."

"Be careful..."

Zhou Sumiang became more and more anxious, and whispered in He Xiaoyue's ear: "Girl, this matter has nothing to do with personal matters, please make it convenient for me..." After saying that, He Xiaoyue felt something was stuffed into her hand.

Before she could react, Zhou Sumiang had already started to put on clothes. He Xiaoyue quickly stuffed all the things in her pockets and helped her put on her clothes. Before going out, Zhou Sumiang took another deep look at her and whispered: "This

This matter is related to the life of this slave. I ask the girl to do something convenient for me. I will repay you by knotting a grass ring on my title..."

He Xiaoyue was so distraught that she finally sent Zhou Sumiang and her party out. When the two returned to the office, Guo Xier opened the lid of the rice noodles and muttered: "The rice noodles are all burnt..." and started eating. He Xiaoyue took a few random bites.

, then he said that he still had something to do and hid in the reference room alone.

There are no dedicated staff in the data room. On weekdays, the designers clean and organize it themselves. Usually no one comes, and only the designers have the keys. It is very quiet.

He Xiaoyue hid in the data room and took out everything in the notebook.

One was a letter, with no seal. There was no payment on the envelope. He Xiaoyue didn't dare to open it and look at the other thing, but it was a tightly wrapped handkerchief bag. It was heavy, but when she opened it, she found five silver dollars.

Five yuan was indeed not a small amount, it was just used to send a message. Of course He Xiaoyue didn't believe it.

She thought about it and decided that she could only discuss this matter with Guo Xi'er. Although she was a big talker, she was her supporter. If she didn't tell her, she would be out of touch. She would never protect herself if something happened. Guo Xi'er's sister is

The elder's life secretary, as long as she is willing to help, everything can be done.

She immediately brought Guo Xier to the reference room, told her everything in detail, and showed her something.

"What can we do?" He Xiaoyue asked anxiously.

Guo Xier was also dumbfounded now. This was the first time she had encountered this.

"What should I do?" She held two things and looked over them.

"I think that handing it over is not just a solution, but if it is leaked and removed, I am afraid it will cause a big disaster for Zhou Sumiang..."

"What's the big trouble?" Guo Xi'er came from a small family. He was very young when he came to Gao, so he had no idea of ​​the dangers here.

"If anyone in the Qu family finds out about this, she will be punished and forced to live in seclusion; at worst, she will be tortured in every possible way and forced to commit suicide."

"It's so scary...just a letter..." Guo Xi'er didn't believe it.

"Just a letter! Humph," He Xiaoyue thought, how did you know the danger in this! "In a wealthy family, the most important thing is to guard the boudoir. It is a heinous crime for wives and concubines to have sex with foreign men in private! Even if this letter has no important content, her intention

Sending a letter to Wu Xinsheng is enough to give her a slap in the face! If the master suspects that she is seriously ill or the aunt wants to harm her, and he wants to torture her in every possible way, then she will really have no choice but to live or die..."

Guo Xier's beauty turned pale. She hesitated and said, "In this case, we can't let others know about this. Otherwise, it will harm her!"

"Well," He Xiaoyue nodded, "This letter cannot be given to Wu Xinsheng..."

"Why don't we take a look." Guo Xi'er's curiosity arose again, "You don't even know what the letter is? Maybe it's nothing serious."

"It's better not to read it..."

"Let's see what happens." Guo Xi'er disagreed, "Maybe it's nothing serious."

He Xiaoyue wanted to persuade her, but seeing that she was in high spirits, it was hard to disobey her, so she acquiesced.

He opened the envelope and took out a piece of white paper. When he unfolded it, there were only three words on it: "The Japanese fell low."

Guo Xier wondered: "What does this mean?"

He Xiaoyue knew, however, that this was the line "The Japanese fell and combed their buns low" in a poem by Wen Tingyun, "Nan Gezi: The Japanese dropped their buns low."

This poem is about a woman's spring lovesickness, and is one of Wen Tingyun's masterpieces. He Xiaoyue secretly cursed: "This matter has nothing to do with personal matters"! This Zhou Su Niang is not an ordinary person.

Seeing that Guo Xier was puzzled, she interpreted the poem in detail.

"But there are only three words on it."

"There are only three words, so you can guess that it is this sentence." He Xiaoyue said, "It means that a woman loves and misses lovesickness."

"Then, doesn't it mean that she has a crush on Master Wu?"

"It goes without saying!" He Xiaoyue said, "She also knows that Master Wu has a scar under his left elbow. He is from Xiangshan County. In all likelihood, he is an old acquaintance and good friend!"

"So romantic..." Guo Xier's eyes turned into stars.

"What's romantic?" He Xiaoyue couldn't laugh or cry, "It would be serious to cause trouble."

"Then what should we do?" Guo Xi'er also realized the seriousness of it. She thought about it and said, "Then I know I can only report it. But according to the system, I have to blacklist her..."

"You can't do it, you can't do it." He Xiaoyue knew that this system was the best protective measure to ensure the reputation of the store and prevent the clerks from falling into scandals. However, as soon as the measure came out, people in the Qu family would inevitably become suspicious, "Now Zhou Suniang will not survive.

!”

"What should we do?" Guo Xier asked.

"I think this matter can only be eliminated. Naturally, I can't help her deliver the letter. Or Master Wu, how can I find a way to prevent Zhou Sumiang from seeing him here? Naturally, I have no idea."

Guo Xier nodded and said: "Xiaoyue, you are right, this is the most comprehensive way. Speaking of which, my sister recently told me that there are many projects coming soon in Guangdong and they need manpower. She asked me if there is anyone I want to recommend. Send her there.

They all want to be cadres. I don’t have anyone to recommend, so I might as well recommend him. Master Wu is a very nice person. Besides, he is only missing half an arm, so he can walk and write without any hindrance. He works as a janitor here.

The handyman is too aggrieved. It would be better to send him away from a distance, which would benefit everyone."
