Chapter 376 Root
Qin Huiyin handed the things in her hand to the maid next to her and asked her to call the gardener over to take care of it.
She washed her hands, walked hand in hand with Xia Ruwan to the pavilion not far away, and asked Zhilan to get some tea and snacks.
The two sisters were chatting in the pavilion. Xia Ruwan talked about what she had been facing recently, with a worried look on her face.
"Logically speaking, as long as there is no problem with your goods, the Maritime Customs should release them after receiving the benefits. Now they have received the money but are not doing anything. This is really strange."
"That's right. The Maritime Customs never dare to go too far. After all, it's not good for them to offend the merchants. This time it's obvious that they are deliberately making things difficult for me."
"Since you can't find the problem, then find a way to break through and figure out the problem first. Otherwise, if you try to use force rashly and use the wrong force, it will be in vain."
"I sent people to inquire, but there was no definite answer and we couldn't find out anything at all." Xia Ruwan said angrily, "Forget it, let's go out and get some fresh air!"
Qin Huiyin asked Su Jin to tell her that she would not be coming back for dinner today, and that she and Xia Ruwan would go to the East Building to eat.
Just as the two were about to get on the carriage, the Xia family's housekeeper ran over, saluted Xia Ruwan and Qin Huiyin, and then said, "Miss, didn't you ask us to find out about that herb? We just got news that there is an auction today, and that herb is included in it."
"Let's go and take a look." Qin Huiyin said, "If we can take a picture of it, I can make the scar removal cream. Doctor Wei has already given him the recipe."
Xia Ruwan sent many people to look for the herb, but after a long time, she no longer had any hope. She wore the mask every day and almost forgot about its existence.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Qin Huiyin waved her hand in front of her. "Let's go! No, you have to bring some banknotes with you. We must get this herb."
Xia Ruwan came to her senses and told Shuhui to go back and get the money.
Qin Huiyin also asked Zhilan to go back and get the money.
"There's an auction going on, so if there's something I like, I'll buy it. We're not short of money now, so of course we can't treat ourselves badly."
The two maids moved quickly. After returning with the money, they headed for the auction house the butler had mentioned in their carriage.
This auction house is in the North City. The North City is a bit far from here, Qin Huiyin has not been there yet, so today is just a refresh of the map.
"Sorry, ladies, the private rooms are full. Only the lobby has space left."
Xia Ruwan and Qin Huiyin looked at each other.
They certainly didn't want to be seen in the lobby. Besides, if they saw something they liked later, they would definitely take a picture of it, and it wouldn't be good to attract too much attention.
"Miss Qin, our young lady is upstairs. Do you mind joining us?" a maid came over and asked.
Qin Huiyin recognized that the maid was from Zhu Hongxiu's side and explained her identity to Xia Ruwan, who immediately agreed.
Since I can get a private room, that would be the best.
When the two went upstairs and entered the side room, they saw a man next to Zhu Hongxiu, with half of his face covered with his hair.
Qin Huiyin had seen half of his face and recognized who he was. At the same time, she was a little worried. This man appeared here, and considering the burn scars on his face, could it be that he was here for the herb that can remove scars? If so, then the possibility of them being able to take pictures today would be much smaller.
The Zhu family is not short of money.
"Sister Qin." Zhu Hongxiu greeted with a smile, "We are really destined to meet again. This is..."
"This is my sworn sister Xia Ruwan. Wan'er, this is Miss Zhu from the Minister of Personnel's Mansion." Qin Huiyin introduced the two.
Xia Ruwan bowed: "Meet Miss Zhu."
"You are Qin's sister, which means you are my sister. Let's not be so polite. Just call me Hongxiu." Zhu Hongxiu said, "This is my brother. He doesn't like to make friends with others. Please don't be offended, my two sisters."
"Mr. Zhu." Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan bowed to Zhu Jingxuan.
Zhu Jingxuan nodded at them and continued looking out the window, with no intention of paying any attention to them.
"Luckily I met my two sisters. Now I have someone to talk to. Otherwise I would be bored to death. I like quietness, but I like noise."
"Are we disturbing them too much?" Qin Huiyin said.
"How can it be considered a disturbance?" Zhu Hongxiu said, "I wish someone could talk to me."
"But we have to excuse ourselves for a moment." Qin Huiyin moved closer to Zhu Hongxiu, "I left in a hurry just now, so I need to go to the toilet first."
Zhu Hongxiu covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's still early, we need to wait a while, you guys go quickly!"
Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan left the room, asked the waiter where the toilet was, and headed towards it.
"You have something to tell me, right?" Xia Ruwan lowered her voice and asked, "Are you worried that you won't be able to take a picture of that herb?"
"You didn't see the half of Mr. Zhu's face that was covered just now. I saw it the last time I went to the Zhu family. That half of his face was full of burn marks. Now that he appears here, I guess he is here for the herb as well."
"It's okay, Yinyin, we just have to do our best. To be honest, I couldn't accept it at first. Now I'm almost forgetting about the scar on my face."
Qin Huiyin knew that Xia Ruwan was comforting her. As a girl who loves beauty, how could she not care about her appearance?
It would have been fine if she was born plain, but her mother happened to give her a pretty little face.
"How about I tell Miss Zhu that we have something urgent to do and need to leave first, then disguise ourselves and find a corner where no one can see us to compete with her?"
"If we are found out, won't that offend people? Well, don't do anything stupid, let's go back!"
Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan returned to the side room.
Shuhui and Zhilan were standing at the back.
There was tea, snacks and a variety of dried fruits in the room.
Zhu Jingxuan sat in front of the window looking outside, not knowing what was interesting outside.
The girls had a lot of common topics. Both Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan were strong women in the business world, and it was not difficult for them to maintain social etiquette. Before the auction started, Zhu Hongxiu became closer to them and even made an appointment to go boating next time.
Xia Ruwan felt a gaze sweeping over her, and following the gaze, she saw the silent eldest son Zhu Jingxuan.
However, Zhu Jingxuan's gaze was not on his sister, but on Qin Huiyin.
He realized that she had discovered him, and turned back awkwardly, trying to hide his embarrassment and awkwardness by drinking tea.
Xia Ruwan glanced at Qin Huiyin who was unaware of the situation and cursed her in her heart, calling her a nuisance.
When did this peach blossom debt come about?
This is not the fun of teasing!
Even if we ignore his appearance, just based on the awkward personality of this Young Master Zhu, he is not worthy of the sunny Qin Huiyin.
