Chapter 59 Seeing her, Zhao Yi's heart could not calm down
The fourth lady asked worriedly, "Tan'er, are you drunk?"
"I'm not drunk." Shen Qingtan blinked, his eyes clear: "I'm just a little dizzy."
The Fourth Lady thought that the Xiangxue wine had a bit of a aftereffect, and it was probably the alcohol that caused the dizziness.
Shen Qingtan said that he couldn't drink much and would get drunk after just two glasses.
Who knew he would fall over after just one cup.
She felt a little regretful about coaxing people to drink.
The fourth lady was a little worried and ordered the carriage to go to the clinic.
The carriage stopped at the door of the clinic, and Liu Yue went to the clinic to ask the doctor to prescribe a sobering soup.
Because Shen Qingtan had been drinking, he felt a little hot and stuffy, so he opened the car window curtains to get some fresh air.
Boss Qin and Liu Yue came out of the clinic and slowly walked towards the carriage.
"Ms. Chen, what a coincidence to meet you here today." Boss Qin did not change his words and still called her by the original name.
He smiled amiably. "The cloth shop owner said you took two bolts of satin. How are you using them?"
"The material feels good. I plan to make two sets of middle garments." Shen Qingtan said with a smile: "The middle garments are not yet made. I don't know how they will look when worn."
"Boss Gu from the cloth shop is from Jiangnan. He can only stay in Beijing for one month this time, and he wants to finalize the cooperation within this month.
I took a piece of material and had it made into a quilt. It was exactly as Mr. Gu described, soft, smooth, and very durable.
Boss Qin explained his purpose: "The shopkeeper said you also took this material, so he asked for your opinion. If you have no objection, I will sign the contract with him today."
"Boss Gu's cloth shop is in Jiangnan?" Shen Qingtan frowned slightly. "Have you ever been to inspect the cloth shop?"
"The Gu family is a century-old family. Our ancestors were once imperial merchants and had a large business, not just a cloth workshop."
Boss Qin knew Shen Qingtan's concerns and explained the Gu family's origins: "More than a decade ago, many merchants recognized the Gu family and actively sought cooperation with them."
Shen Qingtan grasped the key point: "More than ten years ago? Has it declined now?"
"It's not that they've declined. The Gu family moved to Qingzhou over a decade ago for business reasons. They've focused on developing in Qingzhou and have withdrawn most of their business from Jiangnan, so their reputation isn't as good as it used to be."
Boss Qin sighed a little: "The Gu family is now planning to expand their business to Beijing, so they took the initiative to seek cooperation with us."
Shen Qingtan nodded to show that he understood.
The two words "Gujia" represent reputation.
"Although the Gu family's reputation has declined, its financial resources are still very strong." Boss Qin saw that Shen Qingtan was not very interested and thought that she was not very willing to cooperate, so he said a few more words: "I have dealt with Boss Gu before. He is a man of integrity and uprightness, not one who forgets his principles when he sees profit. You can rest assured to cooperate with him."
"Uncle Qin, you decide." Shen Qingtan pressed his swollen temples and said gloomily, "I believe in your ability. You don't have to ask me about everything."
"Okay." Boss Qin saw that Shen Qingtan was not feeling well and quickly said, "Then you go back home and rest. I'll go to Boss Gu to discuss cooperation."
"good."
Shen Qingtan said goodbye to Boss Qin and lowered the car curtain. He saw the Fourth Madam looking at a prescription for a hangover medicine and was not at all curious about her relationship with Boss Qin.
Seeing Shen Qingtan frowning uncomfortably, Liu Yue said distressedly, "Second Madam, shall I give you a massage?"
Shen Qingtan rested his head on Liu Yue's legs.
Liu Yue gently pressed her head.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Duke Zhao's mansion. Shen Qingtan felt much more comfortable and his head was no longer as swollen and painful as before.
The Fourth Madam was still worried, so she personally sent her to Lanxue Garden and ordered Liu Yue to go to the small kitchen to boil medicine. She watched Shen Qingtan drink the sobering medicine with her own eyes before she came out of the house with her maid.
As soon as she left the courtyard of Lanxueyuan, the Fourth Lady saw Zhao Yi coming back from outside.
"Nephew, your fourth uncle is not in the capital, and I feel a little sad, so I asked my niece-in-law to drink with me. She couldn't refuse the request of an elder like me, so she drank a glass of wine."
The Fourth Madam deliberately restrained her temper, her brows and eyes looking somewhat cold: "She is feeling a little dizzy now, please take good care of her."
Zhao Yi didn't believe a word of it. On the day Zhao Qiyuan left Beijing, the Fourth Lady specially sent cherries to thank them. How could she be sad because of Zhao Qiyuan's departure?
What's more, he saw with his own eyes today that she took Shen Qingtan to the Dream House to have fun.
Zhao Yi did not expose him and nodded expressionlessly.
Seeing that he was not dissatisfied, the Fourth Lady left with peace of mind.
Zhao Yixin walked into the room and did not see Shen Qingtan. The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom.
He suddenly thought of the play he watched in the Dream House today. He felt less calm than before and a little restless.
Although the Fourth Lady's temperament is a bit unusual, fortunately she acts with propriety and respects Shen Qingtan's opinions.
They left before the show was over, probably because of Shen Qingtan's suggestion.
During the time they were married, Zhao Yi discovered that Shen Qingtan was a serious person and had few close friends around him.
At present, Qin Yao is my only close friend.
If she could get along well with the Fourth Madam, she would have someone she could talk to in the mansion.
Zhao Yi entered the inner room, sat on the short couch, took out the ancient book written by Meng An, and found a bookmark made of a hollow gold leaf in the book.
The bookmark is very delicate, a thin piece of leaf with distinct veins carved on it. It is woven with a small red rope, and at the end of the rope are two hollow gilded balls. The balls are filled with red beans, which make a crisp sound when shaken.
He stared at Hongdou for a moment before putting the bookmark back and placing the ancient book in its original place.
At this moment, footsteps were heard in the bathroom.
He looked over and saw her coming out in a red middle garment. She raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall, highlighting her slender waist.
Zhao Yi calmly shifted his gaze and looked out the window. It was already dark, and the sound of cicadas chirping made people even more irritated.
"You're back? Have you had dinner? If not, ask Liu Yue to bring you food." Shen Qingtan handed the hairpin to Liu Yue, walked to the bed in her embroidered shoes, and said softly, "I'm a little tired today. I want to go to bed first, so I don't need dinner."
Zhao Yi responded softly, then stood up and left the inner room, instructing Jiang Mu to bring the meal to the study.
It was not until midnight that Zhao Yi estimated that Shen Qingtan had fallen asleep, so he washed up in the study and returned to his new room.
There were no lights on in the house, only two lit lanterns under the eaves outside, letting in a hazy light.
For some reason, Zhao Yi didn't light the lamp. He walked quietly to the bedside and lay down beside her.
He heard that the people around him seemed to be breathing irregularly.
