The Zhou family? There are naturally a lot of people surnamed Zhou in Suiyun County, but if they have the confidence to report a "county Zhou family", they are sure that the other party must know which one they are referring to, and there is only one Zhou family, who opened Hongbinlou Restaurant and several other shops, and the business is very large, and it is one of the largest families in Suiyun County.

Qiao Xiaoru often travels back and forth to the county seat, so naturally he has also heard of this Zhou family, and because of the relationship between Hongbin Building, he also made a special inquiry.

However, she has no contact with the Zhou family, and she has no good impression of the Zhou family.

If she remembered correctly, Lu Mei sneakily came to her and persuaded her to resell the recipe that was originally given to Proud House to another buyer, and that other buyer was Hongbin Building.

Seeing the two people in front of him, Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.

"Aunt Rui, Miss Ling'er," Qiao Xiaoru nodded at them and greeted them, please come into the house and sit down.

The lady Rui put down the gift and said with a smile: "A little bit is not respectful, our eldest lady has long heard of the name of Mrs. Qiao, and she admires Mrs. Qiao very much!" ”

"Not really!" Ling'er also laughed on the side.

The two sang and harmonized, and began to praise Qiao Xiaorulai without a mouth, praising her as unparalleled in the world and heaven, and even she herself was a little embarrassed to listen.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart: The maids and servants of this big family are different, look at this mouth, talking about flattery one by one, why don't you make people happy?

"It's just a country man eating with a mouthful, where is there anything worth saying! Where is Miss Zhou, if we don't work hard, we won't even be able to eat! It was easy to find an opportunity to speak, and Qiao Xiaoru hurriedly interrupted them with a smile.

"Ouch, Mrs. Qiao is too modest!" Ling'er then smiled and said: "If you don't have some real skills, how can you get into the eyes of Dugu Gongzi!" ”

When Qiao Xiaoru heard this, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Ling'er, her sharp eyes made Ling'er's heart skip a beat, and she shuddered, and she felt a sense of timidity for no reason.

Realizing that she seemed to be speechless, she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and stammered: "I, I mean, a person like Dugu Gongzi has a delicate eye, a natural and unusual vision. The collaborators he picked, of course, were outstanding, hehe! ”

Qiao Xiaoru's gaze also calmed down, and said with a smile: "Actually, this is just a coincidence by mistake, since Dugu Gongzi is willing to give me this opportunity, of course I have to cherish it." ”

When she opened her mouth to answer, Ling'er quietly pricked up her ears and listened attentively, hoping that she would say something valuable, but who knew that it was just a cliché, and she couldn't help but be secretly disappointed.

Aunt Rui was afraid that there would be more mistakes in the extraneous branches, so she hurriedly smiled: "It's such a Qiao lady, our eldest lady admires Qiao Niangzi very much, and it just so happens that the day after tomorrow there will be a banquet at home to reward the lotus, and I want to invite Qiao Niangzi to sit down!" Our eldest lady really wants to make a friend of Mrs. Qiao, and I invite Mrs. Qiao to go when the time comes! ”

Aunt Rui said, took out a red and gold-edged invitation from her arms, stepped forward and respectfully presented it to Qiao Xiaoru with both hands.

The people politely handed over the things in front of him, and Qiao Xiaoru didn't want to take it, so he took it and said with a smile: "This-not very good?" I don't know Miss Zhou, and I don't know each other, so it's not good to suddenly appear at Miss Zhou's flower-viewing banquet? ”

"No, no, no!" Aunt Rui hurriedly smiled: "Our eldest lady sincerely invited Mrs. Qiao, and Mrs. Qiao just went straight to it!" Our eldest lady, it's not that I boast, I look good, and I have a better temperament, but it's not like that kind of shallow person who thinks he is self-righteous with a few stinky money, Mrs. Qiao, you will know when you go to see it! ”

Ling'er secretly pulled the corners of her mouth, and thought that Qiao Xiaoru was taking Qiao very disdainfully, and said in her heart that our eldest lady will give you some face and be willing to invite you to the banquet, that is the blessing you have accumulated in your eight lifetimes, what else are you pretending!

actually looks reluctant, who is it really for!

Although she thought so in her heart, she was also worried that she would not be scolded by the eldest lady if she couldn't invite Qiao Xiaoru to go back, you must know that the eldest lady said before they came, if they didn't invite Qiao Xiaoru, they wouldn't go back, how dare she?

At that moment, I had to follow what the eldest lady said, sacrificed a killer weapon, took two steps forward and lowered her voice: "Qiao Niangzi, our eldest lady said that the matter of Hongbin Building is a misunderstanding, she has a few words to say to Qiao Niangzi in person, and apologize by the way, so please Qiao Niangzi, you must go!" ”

Qiao Xiaoru's heart moved, thought about it and smiled: "It's okay, the family hasn't been too busy recently, since this is the case, I must go, thank you for the kindness of your eldest lady!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Ling'er and Aunt Rui were both overjoyed, and Ling'er hurriedly smiled: "Then let's go back and return to the eldest lady like this, don't forget Miss Qiao the day after tomorrow!" Oh yes, Mrs. Qiao can take your husband with you. ”

"Okay, we'll go together then!" Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile.

Aunt Rui and Ling'er completed the task, so naturally they would not stay longer, and after saying a few kind words, the two said goodbye and left.

Qiao Xiaoru originally planned to take the foolish husband with him.

In the first place, she hadn't been separated from Silly Fujun for so long, and he would definitely not be happy if she didn't want him to go with her. Anyway, this guy is getting more and more able to pretend to be wronged and innocent, and as soon as she looked at the little eyes, she suddenly softened, and she couldn't say anything to refuse.

Second, because of Lu Mei's words, her impression of Hongbin Lou is not very good, although this maid named Ling'er just said that there was a misunderstanding, the first impression in her heart is not so easy to say that she can remove it - if you can find Lu Mei as a lobbyist, even if it is a misunderstanding, it doesn't look like a good person.

Then if you want to go, you naturally have to take the fool and be brave.

If something happens, the foolish husband can at least protect her.

If it weren't for Ling'er mentioning Hongbin Building, she wouldn't have gone at all.

After Aunt Rui Ling'er left, Qiao Xiaoru opened the gift box they brought.

The two boxes are filled with fresh snacks, and the packaging inside is from the most famous Yuxia Ji in Suiyun County.

There are a total of four things in the two gift boxes, mung bean cake, chestnut cake, hibiscus roll, and wheat fragrance Xiaowotou, which looks very fresh, and smells very sweet, Qiao Xiaoru smiled and asked Tian and Lu Xing'er to eat together, and by the way, she told them about going out the day after tomorrow.

Lu Xing'er and Tian inevitably asked each other a few words.

As she spoke, Qiao Xiaoru's heart suddenly sank slightly, because she suddenly thought that these four pastries happened to be her favorite.

Is this a coincidence or a deliberate one?

If it's a coincidence, it's a bit too coincidental; If it was deliberate, did Miss Zhou ask someone to inquire about her preferences?
