Chapter 601

"Lead the way." Shi Sheng thought for a moment and waved.

The tea party is a group of literati comparing poems and pairs in a teahouse. Because most of them are young talents, there are also many ladies here.

The teahouse has two floors. The ladies are on the second floor. There are gauze hanging on the second floor to hide the true appearance of these ladies. Below are the men.

Shi Sheng went upstairs and happened to hear the exclamations of a group of girls.

"Master He is probably going to win today."

"Master He is very talented, but no one can surpass him."

Shi Sheng followed the girls' gaze and glanced down, and happened to see a young man surrounded by others. He had a rather delicate appearance and a bookish air, and he was talking to people with gentle eyes.

"That's He Ting, the second son of the He family." Qiu Shui explained to Shi Sheng in a low voice, "I have been smart since I was a child. I heard that I will go to Beijing to take the exam next year."

The ancestors of the He family had high-ranking officials. Later, when the dynasty changed, the He family ended up here, engaged in silk business. The family wealth may not be as good as that of the Ruan family, but the He family runs business outside and has a wide network of contacts.

Shi Sheng's eyes only stayed on He Ting for a few seconds, then fell on the person next to him, "Who is sitting next to He Ting?"

Qiu Shui followed Shi Sheng's gaze and said, "That's the eldest son of the He family, He Qing. He Qing is not in good health, and the He family rarely lets him out. It's strange today."

From Shi Sheng's side, one could see that He Qing's face was indeed bad, pale and tinged with gray, as if he was terminally ill, and people around him were unwilling to come into contact with him.

Shi Sheng asked He Qing alone, but felt that He Qing's eyes were a little strange, too hollow, like a walking zombie.

"Bah bang bang!!" Warm applause suddenly sounded.

Shi Sheng looked away from He Qing and looked at He Ting, who had caused everyone to applaud. He Ting thanked him very politely, turned around and helped He Qing to leave.

As soon as He Ting left, the people below dispersed in twos and threes, and the girls upstairs seemed to lose interest and left the teahouse.

Shi Sheng stood there, obviously distracted.

Until he left the teahouse, Shi Sheng still looked thoughtful.

"Miss...don't you have a crush on Mr. He?" Qiu Shui asked tentatively.

The young lady was almost old enough to talk about marriage, so Qiu Shui didn't think it was a big deal.

It's just that this He family...

He didn't get along well with the Ruan family, and it was even less likely that the He family would agree to let the second young master He marry into the Ruan family. The most important thing was that the second young master He had a fiancée.

Shi Sheng came to his senses and asked, "What did you say?"

"I asked...are you attracted to Mr. He?" Qiu Shui said in a low voice.

Shi Sheng: "..."

Which of your eyes saw me falling in love with Mr. He?

Shi Sheng glanced at Bai Qiushui and strode back.

While passing by an alley, Shi Sheng suddenly heard a familiar voice inside.

She paused, then walked towards the alley under Qiu Shui's puzzled gaze.

"I have not agreed, and I will not agree. You go to them for what they do."

"Then we don't care. Now you were bought by our master. Come back with us quickly. Our master will not treat you badly. You can enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food with our master. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with."

"Get out of the way!" Su Hua broke away from those people, "I never agreed."

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

"Ah! You are breaking the law. I want to report it to the official! Let me go."

Su Hua lost their land, and the Su family hated Su Hua very much. Their family was already poor, but now that they have no land, how will they live in the future?

Su's father and Su's mother came up with the idea of ​​selling Suhua to someone else to make a baby.

Now that Su Hua is beautiful, she can be sold for a much higher price than before.

Su Hua was drugged by Su's father and mother and sent to the county. When Su Hua found out that she had been sold again, she felt extremely angry.

Forget it the first time, now there is a second time.

So she ran out while those people weren't paying attention, but was caught up before she even ran onto the street.

Shi Sheng watched silently as the heroine was taken back.

It's all a routine.

There is no such plot in the plot, but the male protagonist must be a hero to save the beauty.

Even if the male protagonist doesn't come, the male supporting actor will also come.

Who is the male supporting actor?

right!

He Ting is one of the supporting actors.

"Miss, this is Su Hua." Qiu Shui saw the person clearly and whispered.

Shi Sheng turned around and walked back, pouting and saying, "I don't know she is Su Hua?"

Qiu Shui: "..."

Miss, you will lose me if you do this!

"Miss, please wait for me."

Chapter 732 I am a landlord (8)

Suhua was indeed rescued by He Ting and brought back to the He Mansion. Suhua didn't want to go back to the Su family, so she became He Ting's personal maid in the Su family.

Because she was literate and seemed to be reasonably educated, the people in He Mansion did not reject her and quite liked her.

Su Hua soon became familiar with He Mansion.

He Ting basically takes her with him when he goes out.

He Ting used to go out either without anyone or with a bookboy. When did He Ting bring a personal maid? This incident soon spread in Baihe County, and everyone said that Suhua was shameless and seduced He Ting.

It was from these people that Shi Sheng heard the news about Su Hua.

"That Su Hua actually opened a shop, saying what... what... smells... what does it smell like?"

"Perfume shop!" the person next to him added, "I heard it smells very good when applied."

"Tch, who knows if it's Chuī. She's a girl out in public and doesn't do her job properly. Mr. He is also the one who lets her do whatever she wants."

"Isn't it special? Let's take a walk and have a look."

"Okay, let's go see what Su Hua is up to."

Several girls in fancy dresses passed by Shi Sheng and walked towards another street.

Shi Sheng played with the paper fan on the stall. When the group of girls disappeared, she put down the paper fan and slowly turned around, "Let's go and watch the heroine."

"What heroine?" Qiu Shui was confused.

The lady's words are getting more and more mysterious now, and I can't understand them anymore.

"Su Hua." Shi Sheng tapped Qiu Shui's forehead, "Let's go."

Qiu Shui touched her forehead and jogged a few steps to catch up with Shi Sheng, "Miss, what do you mean by heroine Suhua? What is a heroine?"

"Children, don't ask blind questions."

The corner of Qiu Shui's mouth twitched, "...Miss, you are younger than me."

"Really?" Shi Sheng thought for a moment, and it seemed that the original owner was younger than Qiu Shui. She said with a straight face and a serious face, "I am mentally older than you."

Qiu Shui is even more confused. What is his mental age?

Miss, what are you talking about? Why can't she understand?

Suhua's shop was given to her by He Ting. It was located in the most prosperous area of ​​Baihe County, and the rouge shop next to it belonged to the Ruan family.

At this time, all the clerks in Ruan's shop were standing outside the door, looking at the crowded shop next door.

"Ahem!" Qiu Shui stood beside them and cleared his throat.

The two guys immediately turned around and said, "Miss Qiu Shui."

"Miss is here." Qiu Shui turned sideways, revealing Shi Sheng who was blocked behind her.

The two guys were startled and quickly bent down to salute, "Miss."

Shi Sheng nodded slightly and looked at the crowd next door. Su Hua's voice could be heard faintly coming from inside.

Shi Sheng looked away and asked the clerk, "How many days has she been in business?"

The guy bent over and said, "It's been three days."

"How's business?"

The two guys looked at each other. You pushed me, I pushed you, but they didn't want to say anything.

Qiu Shui immediately lowered his face and said, "Miss, tell the truth when I ask you questions."

"Yes... the first day there was just a lot of people watching, but she let people try out her products, and the next day there were people buying her products, and today there are people coming even before the store opens."

A guy took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said, "We secretly went in and bought a bottle. The smell is indeed... quite good."

Shi Sheng took the bottle, opened the cap and smelled it. The fragrance of lotus came to his nostrils. It was liquid and a little sticky. When he rubbed it on his hand, it didn't feel sticky after being wiped off, but was very smooth.

My heroine is amazing, you could still make something like this in ancient times.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Rude scolding sounded from behind the crowd. Several servants separated the onlookers and carried a sedan to the front of Su Hua's shop.

Su Hua was telling people how to take care of her when something unexpected happened and she had to come out.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Su Hua looked at the sedan and asked in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

"What's the matter? You have the nerve to ask, what are you selling?" The servant couldn't help but push Suhua.

Su Hua was pushed so hard that she almost fell to the ground. She endured it. She was a seller now and had to smile. "Brother, is there something wrong with my things?"
