Chapter 112 Yunyun, look at me, look at me!
At this moment, Qian Yun, who was sitting in the carriage, became impatient when he saw that Lu Ren had not returned after a long time. He ordered the coachman to drive over and see where the man had gone.
The carriage driver, having received the order, quickly drove to the entrance of the restaurant and shouted, "Lu Ren, hurry up! Manager Qian is calling you to leave!"
Upon hearing this shout, Lu Ren turned pale with fright, his legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stand up.
Zhang Cuihua, who was bubbling with happiness, burst her bubble upon hearing this voice.
Frowning, she turned to Lu Ren: "Husband, who's calling you? What Manager Qian?"
Lu Ren stammered, "Wife...wife, she's...she's a distant relative of mine who's here doing business. She needs to talk to me about something, I'll be right back."
After saying that, he wiped away his cold sweat and limped toward the entrance of the restaurant.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi looked up and saw a carriage at the door.
They found it incredibly novel!
After all, they run a business for ordinary people, and they sell breakfast at affordable and inexpensive prices.
It was the first time they had ever seen a wealthy family arrive in a horse-drawn carriage.
I couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, trying to figure out what was going on!
Seeing that the two were staring intently at one spot, Jiang followed their gaze.
A carriage was parked at the entrance, but it was impossible to see clearly what it was or what had happened.
He glanced at the two of them and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Xi chuckled, "It's nothing!"
Then he ran back to the kneading board and sat down to make dumplings. However, his frequently glancing eyes betrayed his deep curiosity.
Gao Mengli pretended to be busy, but her eyes kept drifting towards the carriage.
Jiang shook her head helplessly, "You two go and rest for a while. It's not busy now. Meng'er and I are busy enough."
Lin Xi and Gao Mengli exchanged a glance, immediately put down their work, and ran away as fast as they could!
At the entrance, a commotion had already broken out!
Zhang Cuihua was furious. "Husband, why do you call her Yunyun? How can you call someone by their maiden name so intimately?"
Lu Ren's face turned deathly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as he stammered, "Wife...wife, you've misunderstood. That...that's just a form of address, we're nothing!"
Zhang Cuihua's eyes widened, and she put her hands on her hips. "How can you address a distant relative like that?"
Do you think I'm stupid? You have to explain yourself clearly today, or I'm not letting you off the hook!
Hearing the commotion, people around all sat on the curb with their food, looking on with a mixture of gossip and curiosity!
This is much more exciting than the stories told by storytellers!
After all, this is a real-life, live performance!
"Young lady, I know you're anxious, but don't rush!" Qian Yun stepped down from the carriage and stood calmly in front of the two of them.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi stared curiously at Qian Yun, who was getting off the carriage. He was dressed in fine clothes, adorned with pearls and jade.
But his appearance is rather ordinary.
She has a round face and fair skin, but lacks striking features. Her eyes are small, her lips are slightly thick, and her nose is quite ordinary.
In terms of looks alone, you could find plenty of them on the streets of Pingyao County.
However, the air of wealth she exuded made her stand out from the crowd.
Zhang Cuihua stood with her hands on her hips, her angry gaze sweeping back and forth between Qian Yun and Lu Ren.
Qian Yun covered his mouth and chuckled, but a hint of shrewdness lurked in his smile. "Young lady, your bracelet is truly beautiful. Look at the quality, the luster, tsk tsk, who bought it for you?!"
Zhang Cuihua subconsciously touched her bracelet, her face full of pride.
“My husband bought it! I treasure this bracelet.”
Qian Yun's eyes darted around. "Then the hairpin in your hair looks incredibly exquisite, and the cotton clothes you're wearing, with their fine stitches and patterns, were all bought by your husband too?!"
Zhang Cuihua raised her chin and said, "Of course, my husband said he wouldn't let me suffer any injustice. He carefully selected these for me."
Qian Yun raised an eyebrow and pressed on relentlessly, "Then what about your satin floral cloth shoes?"
The embroidery on these shoes is so exquisite, and the pattern is so unique; it must be your husband's handiwork, right?
Zhang Cuihua snorted smugly, "That's right, it was bought by my husband!"
My husband has impeccable taste; I feel so confident walking in these shoes every day.
Qian Yun's face showed an exaggerated expression of surprise, "Oh ho, your husband is really a good man!"
When you were working in the embroidery room, weren't other people envious of you? You were like someone who had fallen into a honey pot; they must have been drooling with envy when they looked at you.
And what about your family? Your children and elderly relatives are surely being taken good care of under your husband's care, right?
Zhang Cuihua smiled proudly, "That's right, my husband manages the household very well, the children and the elderly are all happy, and everyone in the neighborhood praises him."
My fellow embroiderers all envy me for having such a good husband; they praise me for being so lucky every day.
Those around her listened and nodded in agreement, casting envious glances at Zhang Cuihua.
This woman is truly blessed; her husband is indeed very good to her!
Zhang Cuihua saw that Qian Yun had asked so many questions, but had not explained what her relationship with her husband was.
Immediately, she suppressed her smug smile and glared angrily at Qian Yun, "Why are you asking so many questions? Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with my husband?"
Qian Yun, however, remained calm and composed. He pulled a gold hairpin weighing one qian from his hair, took two steps forward, and, to Zhang Cuihua's astonishment, inserted it into her hair bun.
Smiling at Zhang Cuihua, he said, "A gold hairpin looks best with a pearl necklace!"
Young lady, don't you understand yet?!
"Since you've been with me, do you still need anything?! Even if you do, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you!"
Zhang Cuihua was taken aback at first, her eyes widening in surprise.
He pulled the gold hairpin off his head and stared blankly at the gold hairpin in his hand.
The hairpin shone brightly in the sunlight, making her feel a little dizzy.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something!
She looked at Qian Yun cautiously, her eyes filled with surprise, "Manager Qian, oh, no..."
"Yunyun, do you think I could own an oxcart?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Yun covered his mouth and laughed, patting Zhang Cuihua's shoulder, "Young lady, is that all you ask for?! I'll buy you a carriage!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuihua was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped, and her eyes widened like saucers. It took her a long time to come to her senses. "A carriage? My God!"
Zhang Cuihua was overjoyed, shaking Lu Ren's arm and shouting, "Husband, did you hear me?! Hurry up and go upstairs, take good care of Yunyun, don't worry about things at home!"
Those around him exclaimed that this person was incredibly generous!
Lu Ren and others were all pushed to the corner by the crowd, and they all stepped forward to recommend themselves.
"Yunyun, look at me! Do you think I'm suitable to serve you tea and water?!"
Upon hearing this, someone nearby shoved him aside, saying, "Get out of here! You're too ugly; don't offend Yunyun's eyes!"
The person who was pushed aside wasn't angry and kept shouting, "I'm ugly? I'm ugly in a unique way. What if Yunyun likes someone with a unique style like me!"
"Yunyun, look at me, look at me!"
