Zhao Mingcheng was a little embarrassed, but he had no choice but to walk out of the grass, bowed first and said: "The young man didn't mean to peek, it's just..."

"Just what?" Li Qingzhao turned around slowly, his bright eyes were clear and translucent, and there was a little red lip under the high bridge of his nose. The exquisite facial features matched perfectly. Although not as stunning as Mo Yunxiao's beauty, it was different.

So charming.

Li Qingzhao smiled shyly, bowed his head and said, "Little girl Li Qingzhao, the daughter of Li Gefei, the Minister of Rites, had a relationship with Zhao Yanei at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival."

However, Zhao Mingcheng's eyes widened and he said blankly: "It turns out to be a girl from the Li family. I'm sorry." He bowed as he said this.

Seeing the funny way he was observing etiquette, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but chuckle and said: "You are quite interesting. You know you are here to meet me, but you make it sound like a chance meeting. What's the matter? You men are all so thin-skinned.

?"

As she spoke, she came closer to Zhao Mingcheng. Zhao Mingcheng was even more panicked and hurriedly backed away, saying: "Miss Li is joking, how do I know that she is here..."

He raised his head and looked around again, and saw that there was only the surging Bian River, green grass and willow trees, and the smoke was like a fairyland. However, there were only two of them in sight, so how could there be others?

Zhao Mingcheng's cheeks turned red and he asked again: "Dare you ask me, girl, is there no one else here in the early morning?"

Li Qingzhao raised his thin eyebrows and said with a smile: "Zhao Yanei, you and I are just making friends sincerely, and we are not doing some silly things. Who are we afraid of?"

"Miss Li!" Zhao Mingcheng emphasized seriously, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "To be honest, I have an appointment today, so I can't stay with the girl any longer. We can talk about it when we have free time in the future."

Li Qingzhao was taken aback and asked in surprise: "You also made an appointment with someone else?"

Li Qingzhao looked annoyed, and Zhao Mingcheng was a little angry when he saw it. He thought to himself: "You Li Qingzhao are so domineering. I made an appointment with the Mo family's wife here, but I just happened to bump into you, and you keep pestering me like this."

I'm not angry yet, why are you angry first?"

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it with his mouth. So he suppressed the fire in his heart and said: "Yes, I did make an appointment with someone. I couldn't find him in such a hurry. I was very anxious in my heart. I hope the girl can forgive me."

Then one."

As he spoke, he bowed again. But Li Qingzhao had lost his reserve and gentleness.

She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Don't just ask me, let me ask you, who is the person you are dating?"

Zhao Mingcheng shook his sleeves and looked at the rushing water of the Bianhe River and said, "This is a private matter for me, so I can't tell you."

How could Li Qingzhao not be angry after hearing this? She looked Zhao Mingcheng up and down, and saw that he had a Dou Fang on his waist, so she asked again: "What is this?"

Zhao Mingcheng looked at her coldly and said, "I'm going to look for friends, so I won't accompany you."

"Do you still want to leave?" Li Qingzhao stepped forward, reached out and took out the Dou Fang in his arms.

Zhao Mingcheng was caught off guard and shouted: "Miss Li! Pay me back quickly!"

Li Qingzhao ran two steps away and unfolded Dou Fang to take a closer look. Zhao Mingcheng also happened to catch up.

Li Qingzhao looked up at him and asked, "The person you made an appointment with is Mo Yunxiao? Isn't that right?"

Zhao Mingcheng couldn't speak, so he could only say: "My matter has nothing to do with the girl. I also ask the girl to return my token and stop making trouble."

"Am I making trouble?" Li Qingzhao held the painting and sneered: "You and Mo Yunxiao teamed up to deceive me, and you actually blame me for making trouble?!"

"Girl, I don't understand what you are talking about, but please pay me back as soon as possible!" Zhao Mingcheng also emphasized his tone.

Li Qingzhao nodded and scolded sternly: "Okay, I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back, you idiot!"

As she said that, she waved her arms, and the Dou Fang in her hand flew straight towards the Bianhe River. "Ah!" Zhao Mingcheng was shocked and watched as the scroll flew in the air and landed gently in the river.

In just a blink of an eye, he was submerged in the rushing water.

"Ah! Oh no!" Zhao Mingcheng was about to lift up his lapel and go into the water to fish it out. Li Qingzhao looked on and said with a cold smile: "Go ahead! Go and ask the Dragon King of Bianhe River for your token!"

"You..." Zhao Mingcheng was not good at water and knew that it would be unlucky for him to get into the water. He turned red, pointed at Li Qingzhao and said: "Girl of the Li family, you are also from a family of officials, Moxiang Mansion, how can you be more beautiful than an ordinary village woman?"

You must be unruly! Although the lady of the Mo family is a merchant, she has a noble character and is admirable for her versatility in both civil and military affairs. And you..."

Zhao Mingcheng originally thought that his accusation would lead to a more violent retaliation from the other party. Unexpectedly, she just looked at him blankly, with tears actually falling from her eyes.

"So..." Li Qingzhao choked with tears: "So you never thought about meeting me from the beginning, right?"

Seeing Li Qingzhao cry, Zhao Mingcheng's anger immediately disappeared, and he even felt a little ashamed.

He said with a slightly apologetic tone: "I really didn't know Miss Li was here."

Li Qingzhao bit her lip, her eyes full of bitter tears. She remained silent for a long time, and Zhao Mingcheng was also inexplicably embarrassed.

After a while, she picked up her flower umbrella, covered her face and ran away. Zhao Mingcheng wanted to call her, but he didn't know what to say after calling her, so he had to watch her go far away, leaving endless sadness in his heart.

At this time, after the rain, the sky cleared, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street. Mo Yunxiao was telling Yunxi to take the maids to the new store, which was Zhang Chun's original Changfeng Building, to sort out their belongings for the future.

Preparing for the opening.

Not long after Yunxi left, Mo Yunxiao and Du Juan checked the account books for the past few days. After checking the accounts, the tea guests also came one after another.

Mo Yunxiao stretched and was about to go back to his room to rest for a while and prepare for the book he was going to write today.

But just as she was about to leave, she heard a loud shout from behind: "Mo Yunxiao, come out!"

The tea guests, maids, and Mo Yunxiao were all stunned. Everyone looked sideways and saw standing at the door of the tea house a graceful woman wearing a purple dress holding a flower umbrella.

Mo Yunxiao was stunned and asked: "Wan'er? Why did you come to my place?" She went up to her and looked around, then asked: "What? Didn't you guys have a pleasant conversation?"

Li Qingzhao nodded with a fierce smile and said: "Happy! It's so happy! Mo Yunxiao, you are really there, you two teamed up to deceive me! It's time for me to congratulate you, congratulations for tricking me

Gotta go round and round!"

Mo Yunxiao was a little confused and asked with a smile: "Wan'er, where did you start talking about this? Come on, come in and talk."

As she spoke, she took Li Qingzhao's hand, but Li Qingzhao shook it off and said, "Why be so pretentious? Since you have an appointment with Zhao Yanei, why not go to it! What are you still arguing with me for here?"

"Wan'er, what are you talking about?" Mo Yunxiao laughed hoarsely: "Why did I have an appointment with Zhao Yanei?"

Li Qingzhao became even more angry and pressed closer, saying, "I want to ask you this too! I know you have the talent to paint and write lyrics, so you can just paint, why bother using my little order again! Humph! Zhao Mingcheng praised it.

You are a man of both civil and military skills, how come you steal other people's poems?"

"I...I never stole your lyrics!" Mo Yunxiao was also forced to retreat repeatedly: "I just...just wanted to borrow your lyrics to show him that he was thinking about you."

"Is it me who is missing you, or is it you who is missing you?" Li Qingzhao looked so unreasonable that Du Juan and the others were so scared that they did not dare to express their anger.

"Mo Yunxiao! When you open a tea shop and do business, you should be sincere! If you are interested in Zhao Mingcheng, I should be considerate. But you can use all your tricks to live up to the name of your tea house!"

Mo Yunxiao was very embarrassed and said quickly: "Wan'er, please keep your voice down, there must be a misunderstanding between us!"

"Humph! Are you afraid that I will publicize your scandal?" Li Qingzhao saw an empty table and stepped on the bench in two or three steps.

She said loudly as if giving a speech: "Dear elders in Tokyo, this shopkeeper Mo Yunxiao Mo is a completely evil person. She works in disguise and harms others for her own benefit. She also confuses the officials... uh

!”

Mo Yunxiao also jumped up, and slapped Li Qingzhao on the neck with a knife, just like hitting a switch button on her body. Instantly, her vision went dark and she fainted.

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly supported her body and carried her to the inner courtyard with the cooperation of Huan'er and Du Juan.

The tea guests looked at each other, and it took a long time for someone to start talking.

"Second brother of the Wang family, who is this woman who is causing trouble?" a middle-aged man with a mustache asked his companion.

The companion was a slightly fat bald man. He curled his lips and said, "I don't know, but I heard the lady of the Mo family call her Wan'er and talk about poems and lyrics. It's probably Li Qingzhao, a girl from the Minister of Rites' family!"

"Ah? Is it the Li Qingzhao whose poems are better than those of Mrs. Wei?" Mustache chuckled and said, "Hedong lion met the female Yaksha, interesting and interesting."

Li Qingzhao lay quietly on Mo Yunxiao's bed, still muttering: "De Fu! Defu! Don't leave, don't leave..."

Huan'er put a thin blanket on her and came to stand beside Mo Yunxiao. Mo Yunxiao sat under the window, poured himself a cup of tea, and sighed: "There must be some misunderstanding between them.

"

Huan'er curled her lips and said, "Girl, I think it's the wife of the Li family and you who have a deeper misunderstanding."

Mo Yunxiao sighed: "Although Li Qingzhao is a bit fierce, his sincerity towards Zhao Mingcheng is touching. Alas, such infatuated people are rare."

At this time, a maid hurriedly ran over, knocked on the window and said, "Miss, is there someone looking for you outside?"

"Who is it?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

"He is Mr. Zhao." the maid replied.

Huan'er and Mo Yunxiao looked at each other and exclaimed in surprise: "It's so fast!" Then she propped up the hanging window and ordered: "Hurry and tell him to come in."

Mo Yunxiao quickly grabbed her: "Don't be busy."

Huan'er was a little strange and asked: "What's wrong, girl?"

Mo Yunxiao rolled his eyes and told the maid: "When you go out and answer the question, just tell me that I am not feeling well today and it is not appropriate to see guests."

"Oh." The maid responded and left.

Mo Yunxiao looked sad and slowly explained to Huan'er: "Wan'er made a scene outside just now, and the tea guests will use it as a basis for conversation. I don't know what they will say. At this time, asking the outside man to come into the inner court will get even more angry."

This is adding fuel to the fire. Tell me, do we still want the Mo family’s face?”

Huan'er nodded and added, "But we can't keep putting it off like this."

Mo Yunxiao glanced at her and said: "This matter is not difficult to handle, but you can't rush into it. When Wan'er wakes up, ask her first, and then invite Zhao Mingcheng to come over. The three of them can sit across from each other to solve the problem.

"

Huan'er nodded, not knowing what to say, so he could only sigh.
