Chapter 139 Did He Know Her?
Nanny Dong ca with two n.
The man walking in front was an old man who seed to be a steward and the other man walking behind was a young gentleman wearing in white with a handso face and a bamboo-like towering figure. The most striking thing about him was his smiling eyes, showing his innate elegance and kindness.
However, it sohow seed that he could not be despised!
Different with Chu Liuchen’s occasionally harmless elegance, this gentleman seed to be more carefree and much more peaceful in mind.
It seed that his smiling eyes could warm their hearts.
In Qin Wanru’s last life, he had given her nurous great monts of warmth but it was also because of him that she beca a widow and was evicted by Deputy Pri Minister’s Chambers at the end.
If Qi Baiyu had not recomnded her to be a royal painter to paint for the emperor’s harems, she could have avoided her tragedy that she could go back to her maiden ho, and would not be evicted by her husband’s family and tramp the streets at the end.
But even so, Qin Wanru was grateful to him because he treated her well during his last few months. He taught her dical skills, taught her how to raise a dostic swallow, taught her how to untie the knot in her mind, and taught her how to smile…
However, all had gone since he died!
A trace of warm radiance ca with his appearance and vanished with his death. Later, she was expelled from Deputy Pri Minister’s Chambers tragically. As for why she was evicted, she could not rember it. Sothing seed to cover up her mory of her last life, which made her could not recall all details. But she seed to be scolded because of her color.
She put her hand over her head subconsciously. She had a dull headache, making her uncomfortable!
She quite appreciated him and wished she could have saved him before he suffered from an illness. This also was her origin intention to learn dical skills!
This man was her teacher and her friend in her last life and how could she not be excited to et her again in her present life!
“Excuse , are you the lady who wants to buy my shop?” asked Wen Xichi with a gentle smile, standing in front of Qin Wanru. Although a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he still asked with a smile very politely. He didn’t look down upon Qin Wanru because of her age. He glanced at her pretty face calmly with a sense of alienation.
Trying her best to calm her mind, Qin Wanru stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Xichi deferentially. She raised her head and showed her sweet smile in her face. That was a very bright smile!
“Yes, I am!”
“Please have a seat!” said Wen Xichi. He looked at Qin Wanru curiously from head to foot and then reached out hand politely with a smile. She looked very young but calm. Although her face was pale, her pretty face with fresh rouged lips amazed him.
He could imagine how beautiful this girl would be when she grew up!
Moreover, she was so perfect that her tiny peak of brow revealed a kind of natural charm. Although she had such a beautiful face, she behaved politely and soberly. He could tell that she ca from an aristocratic family with perfect breeding.
Her smile was so bright that there was no scheming trick, which made people like her. Wen Xichi, Deputy Pri Minister’s youngest son who had seen many ladies from aristocratic families before, had never seen such a charming lady like Qin Wanru before.
Trying her best to calm her mind, Qin Wanru asked very slowly, “Sir, are you going to sell this shop?” She had never known Wen Xichi had such a shop in her last life.
However, when she ca to Deputy Pri Minister’s Chambers in the na of driving out bad luck, she knew nothing but Wen Xichi. Otherwise, she would not be evicted at the end.
When she got married, Wen Xichi had suffered from his illness and could not get up. He seldom woke up and even kept in a coma for several days and nights. He didn’t suffer for a long ti and finally he passed away soon at a very young age.
As for Qin Wanru, he was much like an elder brother. When he woke up, he took good care of Qin Wanru and he was very patient and nice when he taught her. He never got angry because she didn’t understand.
He was born to be intelligent and smart. Qin Wanru could not be compared with him. Even so, he never called her stupid!
He once fell into water and that was the cause of his illness. The man that Qin Wanru asked Wang Feng to look for was him. She must try her best to let him pay attention to that couple. She must not let him lead a life sa as his last life, in which he suffered from illness for so long and die so young even though he was intelligent.
She bit her lips with her tearful eyes, which made her beautiful eyes more charming.
Wen Xichi looked at Qin Wanru in surprise. He felt that the lady in front of him seed to be emotional when eting him and now she even wanted to cry. Although she bit her small rouged lips tightly and repressed her feelings, a hint of darkness flashed in her tearful and beautiful eyes.
“Have I t her before?”
Thinking for a while, then Wen Xichi denied it. It was impossible for him to et her before. If he had t this perfect lady, he could not have not rembered her.
“No, it is one of my friends who wants to sell it. He is too busy to co here today so he asked to negotiate the shop on price with you,” Wen Xichi smiled gently and said, “I heard that you have talked about the price yesterday and what do you think?”
Nanny Dong did tell her the price yesterday so today Qin Wanru wanted to make a decision after visiting the shop.
Calming her mind, Qin Wanru asked slowly, “How would you deal with these brocades and embroideries in the shop?” She picked up a piece of embroidery near her shoes casually. She knew that Wen Xichi was very smart and she could not let him know anything!
“If you want, you could have them,” answered Wen Xichi, smiling.
Qin Wanru smiled and asked, “Couldn’t I have them and the shop at this price?” When she raised her head, all emotions in her eyes had gone.
“I am afraid not. These brocades and embroideries are the best. It is only because the shop is in a ss and there is no good way to attract custors that the shop has beco unpopular. In addition, my friend does not care about the shop so he just makes these goods seem cheap!”
Wen Xichi answered leisurely.
Qin Wanru blinked her enchanting eyes and asked in curiosity, “He is going to return his ho village, isn’t he?”
“Yes, but he decided not to leave here later. About the embroidery shop, my friend doesn’t like running this shop. Then now soone wants the shop so he would offer such a low price because he also wants to sell the shop. When he decides to handle this after a while, your servant ca. Then he told her!”
Wen Xichi explained this thing in a few words and smiled.
So it was not only cheap but also coincidental. Looking at those embroideries on the ground, Qin Wanru felt pitiful. It might be because man didn’t care about these goods that the shop was in bad managent and could not survive. She liked these embroideries and brocades in front of her.
Then if she decided to run a shop, she would have to buy a batch of brocades and embroideries. So it would be the best way to buy those goods and the shop together.
“May… May I buy them on installnt?” asked Qin Wanru. She had counted her money and knew that she didn’t have enough money.
She could only afford the shop and there would be working capital left. But if she wanted to buy these goods, she would be kind of short of cash. But she didn’t want to bother the Old Grandma and her mother.
“Qin’s Mansion is also looking for a shop so Old Grandma and mother would not have too much money.”
“No! The price is quite low. According to my friend, he wants to sell them for one ti. He offers you such a low price and then at least he wants to avoid too many troubles.”
Wen Xichi answered, smiling.
Qin Wanru bit her lips. Her fresh pink lips whitened because of her bite. Her charming eyes fell upon sowhere in the shop and it seed that she was thinking about the accessibility of the plan.
Wen Xichi set his eyes on her face again. He dare not look at her out of embarrassnt when Qin Wanru stared at him. Now she was thinking so he could see her clearly.
The lady in front of him was very beautiful. Although her refined features still seed to be a little childish, her beauty was beyond words. She was like those fairy-like beautiful won in those ancient books but she was much more charming and lively than them.
Qin Wanru’s childishness, transcendence and charm integrated together, which made people keep looking at her. She was a very beautiful girl.
In the na of pure appreciation, Wen Xichi took another glimpse at Qin Wanru and then he lowered his eyes in a very polite way. A swift smile crossed his face. He thought that if his best friends knew he would take another glimpse at a girl, he could not imagine how they would laugh at him in surprise.
His best friends all said that he could be a monk if he continued to live such a life.
When he raised his head again, Wen Xichi gave a gentle smile again and said, “If you do have not enough money, there is a bank outside across the street. You can raise a mortgage on this shop!”
His words reminded Qin Wanru. Suddenly a brilliant idea jumped into her mind. Rolling her beautiful eyes, she gradually relaxed and did not bite her lips so tightly. She said, “Fine. That’s the deal! First, I would pay for the shop. Second, I would raise a mortgage on the shop and use that money to buy these goods. However, it is a one-ti paynt so you have to give a half-price discount! And your friend could also save a lot of troubles!”
Wen Xichi suddenly felt that he quite liked the lady in front of him and answered her directly, “Deal!”
He only thought that the lady was very beautiful but he didn’t expect that she was also quite smart and decisive. She was good at discovering the weakness others revealed during the talk and hitting the nail on the head, which made people have to consider her suggestion.
If the lady had been a man, he would have made friends with this guy. However, it was a pity that the Qin Wanru was a woman!
Thinking for a while, Qin Wanru rolled her eyes and said, “Then in five days. I would bring my money to buy this shop in five days. At that ti, I would have to ask you to give a hand. Could you go bail for ? Then I could raise money faster.”
She was not familiar with everything and everyone here in the capital city. Thus, it was not easy for her to raise a mortgage on the shop. Actually she didn’t know those complex steps quite well but the thing would go well and fast if Wen Xichi went bail for her.
Wen Xichi frowned and was to turn her request down but when he looked at her dark eyes, he paused and frowned again. Actually he didn’t want to help her but he just could not refuse her request when seeing her eyes.
Wen Xichi answered slowly, “If, if you find nobody to help you, I could ask my friend to go bail for you!” He had never liked ddling so it was the best way to let his friends help her.
“But if… if he doesn’t?” asked Qin Wanru pitifully.
Wen Xichi thought and answered, “If so, I would do it!” His low voice showed his unwillingness!
Qin Wanru was very happy and stood up. She bowed sideways to Wen Xichi slightly and said, “Then I sure appreciate! May I know your na?” She raised her head with her pretty smiling eyes.
It was at that mont that her bright smile hit his originally calm mind directly!
Did he know her…
