Chapter 128 I want to help you (4K)
Enter the empty door? Which empty door did you enter?
Could it be the empty door in front of me?
Su Tan'er glanced at the sign in his hand in a panic, and then looked up at Zhou Ji who stepped into the hall with one foot.
At that moment just now, she saw the joy, surprise, nostalgia and guilt flashing in the other party's eyes.
All kinds of emotions were complicated and entangled, lighting up his eyes like fireworks, and imprinted into her eyes.
It's strange to say that since she came into contact with the Su family's business early, she usually cares most about the eyes of others, but now that she is stared at by a strange man like this, she doesn't feel the slightest bit of disgust for a while.
Yao Pinger has experienced many things in the world, silently observing the visitors outside the hall.
Wearing a fine silk and satin dress, the fabric looks like the Su family's satin brocade, but the style is somewhat different from the common loose Confucian robes. The cuffs, waist and many details have been adjusted. It sounds a bit more sassy that is rarely seen in the south of the Yangtze River.
The face is like a crown of jade, the skin is fair and white, the eyes are clear, and the temperament is gentle. Just a cursory glance like this makes people feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
As if he had noticed the scrutiny from the side, Zhou Ji suddenly realized, gave an apologetic look, bowed slightly and backed away, and signaled the two to leave first.
Yao Ping'er was more and more satisfied with this young prince, but she also knew that it was difficult to say much in front of the Buddha, so she and Su Tan'er left the main hall, slowly admiring the murals in the corridor outside the hall.
Su Tan'er didn't know why her mother was interested in the murals outside the hall, so she had to follow behind her, and from time to time glanced at Zhou Ji who bowed his hands in front of the Buddha, as if muttering words.
However, just after taking a second glance, Su Tan'er found that Zhou Ji had suddenly disappeared from the crack of the window, subconsciously stood on tiptoe to search for it, but the corner of his sight caught the hem of a long gown, and he couldn't help but panic , took half a step back.
"I was so presumptuous just now, please forgive me, Miss Su."
Zhou Ji saw Su Tan'er's small movements like a frightened sparrow, and couldn't help a smile in his heart. He turned to look at Yao Ping'er next to him, and cupped his hands, "I've seen Mrs. Su."
Being called out by a young man she had never met before, Yao Pinger subconsciously parted her red lips, widened her eyes, and showed a cute expression only for a little girl.
Su Tan'er's mind was quick, as if he had seen Zhou Ji's bad taste, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he nodded and said, "Don't worry about trivial matters, Mr. Zhou."
"you know me?"
'You know him? '
Yao Pinger looked curiously at Zhou Ji, and then at her own daughter.
I saw Su Tan'er pointing to the clothes on Zhou Ji's body, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Zhou's short robes are custom-made at Su's cloth shop. Because of the special style and the rush to order, when the clothes are made, Xiao The woman has been watching from the sidelines."
Su Tan'er looked around as he spoke, with a bit of confidence in his smile, "I wonder if Mr. Zhou is still satisfied?"
"So that's how it is." Zhou Ji suddenly understood, "Miss Lao Su is bothering you."
No wonder she had never seen Su Tan'er before. It turned out that she was still rushing to make his clothes while preparing for the new store.
Su Tan'er couldn't help but look at Zhou Ji more, with a look of hesitation.
"Miss Su seems hesitant to talk, but what else is there?" Zhou Ji looked around, pointed to a pavilion in the temple, and said with a smile, "It's noisy here, why don't we go to the pavilion to talk in detail?"
It is really inappropriate to talk at the entrance of the main hall. The pavilion is at the corner of the side hall, and Geng Nuyuan is waiting under the steps. Su Tan'er is not afraid of any accidents.
and mother looked at each other, then slightly nodded and said, "Then bother you for a while."
The three of them walked down the steps. Geng Nuyuan and the maid Xiaochan who had been waiting for a long time rushed to greet them. Yao Pinger asked Xiaochan to go to the carriage to fetch tea and continue to observe Zhou Ji's tea drinking behavior.
The so-called knowledge of small things, in addition to the intuitive feeling of a person's self-cultivation and temperament, there are also subtle behaviors, these aspects can better show the essence of his character.
"In addition to this short robe, the young master also ordered two other sets of costumes in the Su family, right?" Su Tan'er and Zhou Ji said a few words politely, then carefully turned to the topic, and tentatively said, "I don't know who these costumes are from. Design? Where is this person now?"
Zhou Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Su Tan'er to ask such a question, he smiled helplessly, and said clearly: "Miss Su wants to reproduce the style, make it into a brand, and sell it in Su's, right? "
Su Tan'er has been in business for a long time, and under the 'protection' of everyone intentionally or unintentionally, although he has never been exposed to the darkness of the mall, his business mind is indeed agile.
The inability to deal with the rumors during this time made Zhou Ji underestimate the girl in front of him.
After Zhou Ji's words broke his mind, Su Tan'er was also a little thin-skinned, coughed lightly, calmed down his emotions, and said: "If Mr. Zhou has other styles of ready-made clothing designs, I can buy them at a high price. I will also settle the money exactly.”
Zhou Ji laughed dumbly, shook his head and said: "These are my usual clothes, how can there be any other styles? If Miss Su wants to use it, just take it for re-engraving, even if Su doesn't copy it, if other cloth shops are interested , will also plagiarize."
In this era, there is no such thing as copyright, especially in terms of clothing. Unless the government prohibits it, no one can monopolize clothing.
Su Tan'er's willingness to spend money has exceeded Zhou Ji's expectations. It's just two clothes, but it's not that important.
Yao Pinger suddenly spoke up from the side, "It's rare to find such a brocade gown with sleeves in the south. Mr. Zhou is not a local, is he?"
Zhou Ji followed the directions he had prepared, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I originally lived in Yanbei and lost my land. Because of the Liang Jing dispute, I went south to take refuge. I just came to Jiangning a few days ago and planned to settle here."
"Did you ever get married? Who else is there in the family?" Yao Ping'er asked subconsciously. After asking, she felt it was inappropriate. Under the stunned eyes of Su Tan'er and Zhou Ji, she smiled embarrassingly, but she couldn't help asking again. He said, "What's your birthday?"
Unfamiliar places, familiar people, asking familiar questions.
Zhou Ji seemed to have returned to the meal where the eyes met, and forced a smile: "Birthday is on the third day of October, and there is only one person left in the family, but they have never been married."
"It's good to be unmarried, it's good to be unmarried." Yao Ping'er clasped her hands together and chuckled, but was glared at by her own daughter viciously, so she could only pretend to be innocent and look away. Keep her little thoughts.
However, when Su Tan'er caught her peeking gaze again, she couldn't sit down, stood up and said with a smile, "Suddenly I remembered that I still have a volume of Buddhist scriptures to invite. You chat first, and I'll come as soon as I go."
Zhou Ji and Su Tan'er had no choice but to get up and see each other off. After Su's mother left, Su Tan'er bowed, with a little apology in her eyes, "My mother just said it casually, so please don't take offense, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Ji shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Of course not."
Su Tan'er has never had the opportunity to chat with a foreigner alone. Although there are many pilgrims in Antai Temple, and there is Geng Nuyuan next to the pavilion, this small pavilion with five steps square is like an independent world. The two are isolated from the outside world.
I didn’t feel this way when my mother was around just now, but now there are only two people left in the pavilion. Su Tan’er realized this only after talking about the style of clothing.
At the end of the conversation, Zhou Ji didn't know what to say for a moment. After this moment of conversation, he felt from Su Tan'er's clear and agile eyes that the girl in front of him had the same appearance as Fan Ruoruo, but was completely different. Two different people.
must not be confused.
Although the delicate-minded Su Tan'er has never experienced the shadows of the society, she also has her own set of views on people. In the relationship just now, she could not see the slightest malice in Zhou Ji's eyes.
On the contrary, the complicated emotions that appeared from time to time made her more curious.
Couldn't help asking: "Young Master Zhou, have we met before?"
If there is no intersection, why did he have such complicated eyes when we first met, and the inadvertent kindness shown during the conversation did not seem fake.
Zhou Ji was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I just saw Miss Su for the first time at the gate of Buxing yesterday."
Zhou Ji is a naughty person, and his nagging is actually the vanity and inferiority that everyone has.
Maybe he doesn't like Su Tan'er that much, but he doesn't want to watch this woman who looks exactly like Fan Ruoruo marry someone else.
People's words are terrifying, and the current situation is no longer something that can be resolved by force.
Zhou Ji thought for a long time, and finally made a decision that he had never considered before.
Enter Su's family.
Relieve Su Tan'er's troubles.
Su Tan'er's expression froze, Zhou Ji's words aroused the depression in her heart again, and she said with an ugly face: "Yesterday's farce made Mr. Zhou laugh."
Zhou Ji shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Although I have been in Jiangning for less than ten days, I have already understood the cause and effect of this matter. Rumors started from the east city and the west city, and there are one master and one assistant behind the scenes, and the person who is the master is that Wu Family Wu Qihao."
"How do you know?" Su Tan'er was shocked. She thought that these market rumors were just someone's gossip, and she never thought that someone would interfere and add fuel to the flames.
"You only need to investigate this kind of trick outside the market. The old man of the Su family should also know about it and try to deal with it." Zhou Ji laughed and said faintly: "Wu Qihao said so many foul words , only one sentence is not false."
The daughter of Su’s family, who is well-known in Jiangning, is actually a Kefu!
The rumors have spread to this day, and it seems to have turned into a carnival.
It is not so important to justify or not. From the big families in the city to the common people in the countryside, they all enjoyed the ugly appearance of the Su family in this carnival.
Perhaps even Wu Qihao himself didn't think that things would turn into such a mess.
Su Tan'er himself also understands that this raging carnival of hatred for the rich needs to be quelled, and there is only one choice left.
‘Only by marrying can you save yourself’
"Are you here to persuade me to marry Wu Qihao?" Su Tan'er's complexion became more and more ugly, and his tone became much stiffer.
Noticing the sudden vigilance and alienation in Su Tan'er's eyes, Zhou Ji smiled wryly, "Miss Su misunderstood, I know you only want to revitalize the Su family and get the patriarch's seal, so naturally you won't marry someone else."
If you don’t marry outside, then you can only recruit another son-in-law.
Su Tan'er felt bitter in her heart. She chose Ning Yi to marry only because she heard that he was weak and easy to control.
As long as his family owes the Su family hundreds of taels of silver as a coercion and signs the marriage document, he can block the mouth of the second wife and allow himself to fight for the Su family's palm seal without distraction.
But now that Ning Yi died unexpectedly, where could she find a suitable replacement?
Looking up, seeing Zhou Ji's serious expression, Su Tan'er's heart trembled, and she subconsciously clenched the slip in her hand.
"I can join Su's family"
"Why?" Su Tan'er directly interrupted Zhou Ji's words, leaned forward subconsciously, and stared closely at Zhou Ji's eyes.
"You asked me just now, have we met before? In fact, I once knew a woman who looks very similar to you, so when I saw you, I thought of her inadvertently." Zhou Ji's tone was low, with With a little nostalgia, "Maybe it's the continuation of guilt. I want to help you."
"Why did you tell me this...?" Su Tan'er was surprised.
She didn't expect Zhou Ji to say these words, but that's the only reason why he has such great kindness towards her, right?
"People treat me with sincerity, and I treat others with sincerity."
Every time he said this sentence, he would be ridiculed. Zhou Ji raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
Su Tan'er thought of the woman he was talking about, frowned slightly, and refused: "I am not the woman you know, and I will not be anyone's substitute."
"I know very well that you are different from her, you are two completely different people, but I still want to help you." Zhou Ji said seriously.
In the dark, there seemed to be a red light seeping out from Zhou Ji's heart.
When Zhou Ji didn't even notice, Su Tan'er's eyes were stained a little red, "You have to think about this matter, if you promise to make a written agreement with me, I will agree to your marriage. "
Facing Su Tan'er who suddenly changed his mind, Zhou Ji naturally patted his chest and assured him, "I am a person of great faith, as long as you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down."
‘Why do you want to do this? '
Su Tan'er sighed softly, looked at Zhou Ji quietly, and swallowed the last question that came to his mouth.
A person's pride cannot be concealed with humility. Although the man in front of him is just a one-sided relationship, Su Tan'er can clearly perceive the pride hidden in the other party's body.
For a while, she even felt a little envious of the girl who looked very similar to her.
(It stands to reason that Yao Pinger should write about Su's mother, but every time she sees her charming temperament and maintaining a good posture, she always can't write. It is indeed a bit exaggerated to say that these two are sisters, but if a woman At her age, if she can still maintain this kind of male-female charm, she must be given a full name anyway.)
