The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

That morning, Huan Huan did not rush to the shop, but waited leisurely in the room for Xu Qu to come back and have breakfast together.

She was serving the dishes with a smile on her face when she suddenly heard the door open. She looked up and found that it was Xu Qu who pushed open the door and was about to come in.

Xu Qu at the door was bathed in bright morning light, and the soft light behind him came in with the open door, shining his face as he slowly stopped moving, and the room was illuminated with bright light.

Xu Qu's eyes also brightened up. Seeing his eyebrows finally relax, Xu Qu's mouth corners also slightly raised. He walked in and asked, "Is there another good news today?"

A cheerful and clear voice sounded slowly: "Yes, let's eat first. I specially prepared a lot of light food."

Xu Qu put down his sword and smiled. Then he sat down and took the chopsticks that were slowly handed to him. He looked at the food on the table and said, "Isn't your favorite delicacy pork elbow missing? Didn't I tell you to eat more last time?"

He chuckled softly and said, "How can you eat like this in the morning? Don't worry, I won't treat myself badly."

Xu Qu suppressed his laughter and nodded, then he said as if he remembered something, "Second Uncle came to me yesterday and told me that Xiangyin had caught a cold these days, but now the symptoms have eased. He no longer needs to look after Xiangyin, so he came to take over a lot of my affairs."

She smiled slowly with her eyebrows curved, and said, "That's great. First, Xiangyin's illness has improved, so Uncle and Aunt don't have to worry anymore. Second, your burden can be lightened. It's really a double happiness."

"Yeah," Xu Qu nodded, and then asked, "What's your good news? Is your shop doing well again?"

He smiled slowly and nodded, saying, "Let me tell you, two ladies from the party that day and a young lady have come to the shop these past two days. They all said that our rouge is very good. Since they only got one box randomly at the party that day, they wanted to come and buy something else."

"Oh?" Xu Qu looked at him and smiled slowly, "That's indeed good news."

"There's more!" Huanhuan continued with great interest: "Li Wan said that many wives of military commanders in Shanghuai City who don't like red makeup are suddenly using our rouge. This is considered novel, so the news spreads very quickly. I heard that the sales of rouge in the shop have increased exponentially recently. After our understanding, we found that many of these customers were eager to try it, and after hearing about this, they couldn't help but finally made a move."

Xu Qu smiled silently, and his gaze towards Huanhuan was very warm.

"And more," Huanhuan continued happily, "When Shi Shi Yanzhi was mentioned before, many people said it was 'the stuff used in brothels' and were very disdainful. According to my observation and analysis, many people were embarrassed to buy it because of its reputation. Now this view has been overshadowed by those ladies. In the long run, this is very good for Shi Shi Yanzhi. Now it seems that I made the right move to go to the party of Commander Su's wife."

Xu Qu stopped smiling when he heard this and said in an unquestionable tone, "Don't do such dangerous things again."

He slowly looked at Xu Qu, and felt a little guilty about his serious expression, so he quickly replied, "Okay."

Then she wanted to turn the page quickly, and said in a negotiating tone: "In the past, I thought that as long as the product is good, it will sell itself. Now it seems that I still need to work harder to build my reputation. I think I should attend more of these parties in the future."

"Well, Manager Huanhuan is right. You can call me if you need me." Xu Qu said in a light tone.

Huanhuan knew that Xu Qu didn't like to attend such occasions, and his ear disease also made it inconvenient for him to attend such occasions. She asked carefully, "Don't you rarely go to such occasions? Are you telling the truth?"

Xu Qu smiled faintly and nodded, but his support was self-evident.

He said slowly with a full smile: "I will try not to trouble the shopkeeper, but maybe I will have to use you when I have to."

"Yes, no problem." Xu Qu said. Then he suddenly remembered something and said, "Haven't we greeted our mother for a long time? Haven't we seen our mother for a long time? Since we have some free time today, let's go and greet our mother after dinner."

"Okay!" He agreed slowly and naturally very happily.

The two of them had a rare peaceful meal, and then took Xiaoyu and Youcheng to Jingyuan.

As soon as I entered the main hall of Jingyuan, Xiangyue and my aunt were already sitting inside.

Huanhuan and Xu Qu had just finished paying their respects to Madam Xie and had not yet stood up when the eldest aunt's ironic words floated into Huanhuan's ears, "What a rare guest! It's different when you're the shopkeeper. You don't even have to pay your respects. You're so attentive. I wonder how prosperous the shop must be."

Xu Qu couldn't hear, and he couldn't see his aunt's mouth shape because he was facing Mrs. Xie. It was obvious who he was talking to.

Xiangyue, who was sitting next to her, felt that this was inappropriate and looked at her aunt with a frown.

The slow smile froze in an instant, his face turned red and white, and he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Mrs. Xie said hurriedly, "It's okay. I've been busy lately, and I just had some free time to sit here for so long and chat with my family."

After Xu Qu bowed to Madam Xie, he bowed to his aunt with a smile. The aunt's expression softened when facing her nephew, and the little incident was just passed.

After Huanhuan and Xu Qu sat down, Madam Xie said, "Qu'er, Huanhuan, you came at the right time. I was just saying that we have guests coming to our house, and they are distinguished guests coming all the way from Lingnan."

When Huanhuan heard Lingnan, she instantly remembered what Xie Jin said at Old Lady Shen's birthday party that day. She intuitively felt that this matter was related to Xie Jin, but what Mrs. Xie said next made Huanhuan feel that she was overthinking.

Madam Xie continued, "It's the wife of the governor of Lingnan Province and Mr. and Mrs. Cao, the shopkeeper of the Xiangyunsha workshop. I've been trying to find a way to contact the Xiangyunsha workshop recently, but it wasn't going very smoothly. But by chance, the wife of the governor is going north to visit relatives, and her close friends, Madam Cao and Mr. Cao, are accompanying her north to play. They will pass by Shanghuai and will arrive in three to five days. I want to invite them to stay at our house for a few days, entertain them well, and discuss the matter of Yongshengfang buying Xiangyunsha."

Just when Huanhuan was almost certain that she was overthinking, her aunt's words made her realize that her intuition was correct.

The eldest aunt said, "To be honest, this matter is all thanks to Bihua. After Madam Shen mentioned the Xiangyunsha incident at her birthday party, Bihua went back and started to help our Xu family connect with Xiangyunsha. Bihua is really capable. The wife of the governor didn't want to go through Shanghuai to visit her relatives. It was Bihua who joined forces with the wife of the governor to invite them, and they changed their schedule. The wife of the governor was able to bring Shopkeeper Cao and his wife with her because Bihua spent a lot of effort to persuade them."

After saying that, the eldest aunt deliberately glanced at Huanhuan, lowered her head and pretended to blow twice the tea in the teacup in her hand, and sighed in a cold tone: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's a blessing for the family to have such a capable daughter-in-law." Then she shook her head pretentiously and lowered her head to sip tea.

Here we go again! Huanhuan frowned, knowing that her aunt meant her. Her aunt's shocking plan to divorce her wife in the Shen residence came to her mind. Thinking of this, Huanhuan couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xu Qu. Xu Qu looked normal. Her aunt had just said that with her head down. Xu Qu probably couldn't see her mouth shape and couldn't figure out what she said. Huanhuan sighed in her heart, it was a blessing in disguise, it was rare to have peace.

Xiangyue, who had been watching coldly from the side, suddenly said, "How is sister-in-law's rouge shop doing recently? I have some free time today, can I go with sister-in-law to the rouge shop to take a look?"

Huanhuan was very grateful for Xiangyue's help and support, and immediately replied: "Shishi Rouge's business has been picking up recently, so it's fine for you to come. You're welcome."

The eldest aunt turned her head to look at Xiangyue with a look of reproach, and then turned back as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Xie came out in time to smooth things over. She said, "Everyone is busy recently. We are just chatting here. It's okay for you to leave first if you have something to do."

So Xiangyue and Huanhuan sat for a while longer, then bowed and left.
