Chapter 179: Daily Social Life of the Noble Ladies in Beijing (3)
"Yan Huan, when your store opens, I will definitely go there to support you as soon as possible!"
Meng Nianqiao looked at Gu Yanhuan with a smile on her face. She called him so affectionately that people who didn't know the inside story would think that she and Gu Yanhuan were very close.
In fact, after being in contact with Gu Yanhuan for several years, Meng Nianqiao had already figured out the temperament of this daughter of the Gu family.
Gu Yanhuan is a naive person. She is not cut out for business.
Meng Nianqiao was very happy to see Gu Yanhuan's expression when he lost money.
What's more... she has been looking for a new store recently, and she hasn't given up on the jade store yet.
Meng Nianqiao believed that she was definitely more talented than Gu Yanhuan when it came to doing business.
"Yes, we will all go to support you."
After hearing Meng Nianqiao's words, several other noble ladies came over and expressed their enthusiasm.
Gu Yanhuan, who was surrounded by the crowd, smiled and his tone became serious and confident: "My shop is in Baxingfang. You must come often in the future!"
"Baxingfang?"
The most gossipy girl in the green dress suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that mysterious Yan Lou?"
Yanlou?
Everyone's attention immediately focused on Gu Yanhuan again. It was a strange feeling to be the center of attention.
When she first arrived in Beijing, many people stared at Gu Yanhuan, but at that time, Gu Yanhuan was very sensitive and always felt that the looks they gave her were unfriendly, even hypocritical.
And now...
Gu Yanhuan likes the feeling of being the center of attention, as if she is the center of the world.
Sure enough, when the mood is different, the feeling is completely different.
"Yes, it's Yanlou."
Gu Yanhuan answered confidently.
Seeing that Gu Yanhuan admitted it, another group of noble ladies gathered around, all curious to know what kind of business Yan Lou was going to do and why he was so mysterious.
"The day before yesterday, I went to Baxingfang and saw several new silhouettes painted on the outer barrier of Yanlou. Whose shadows are they? I'm so curious!"
"Yes, yes, I saw it too. One of the silhouettes had pointy ears. It was quite peculiar."
Almost everyone was waiting for Gu Yanhuan to reveal the secret, but Gu Yanhuan raised her chin proudly and said with a smile, "Those silhouettes will be kept secret for now, but I can give you a hint. Mr. Liao Zhai has agreed to cooperate with our Yanlou. When Yanlou opens, we will definitely give everyone a surprise!"
"Mr. Liaozhai!"
"Is it Mr. Liao Zhai, the writer of 'The Red Fox Girl'?"
"Oh my god, I love his story so much. Miss Gu, have you ever met him in person? Is he handsome?"
Hearing the name "Mr. Liaozhai", the noble ladies around became even more excited, and even Du Yurao, who had been hiding in the corner and about to fall asleep, suddenly became alert.
Yanlou...
Mr. Liao Zhai!
Could it be that those silhouettes painted outside Yanlou are...
Du Yurao had a bold guess in her heart. She even wanted to leave here immediately and go to Baxingfang to find out what was going on!
…………
Yanlou was actually opened by Gu Yanhuan!
And... she also invited Mr. Liao Zhai!
Meng Nianqiao on the side was stunned.
Gu Yanhuan! Why does she do that?
Seeing a group of noble ladies placing Gu Yanhuan in the center like the moon surrounded by stars, Meng Nianqiao felt very unhappy in her heart, even... very jealous.
Gu Yanhuan, apart from your good looks, how else can you compare to me?
Why are you so popular!
The more Meng Nianqiao thought about it, the angrier she became, but she couldn't lose her temper here, so she could only stand aside and watch with a fake smile.
Huang E'er and Liu Ningyin always sat on the periphery and did not come closer.
At this moment, Huang E'er noticed the change in Meng Nianqiao's expression, and couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her lips——
That Miss Meng San seemed a little anxious.
"Sister E'er, what are you looking at?" Liu Ningyin followed Huang E'er's gaze and saw only Meng Nianqiao's departing figure. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "The Meng and Gu families have always been at odds. Now that you're close to Gu Yanhuan, you should be careful of Meng Nianqiao."
"Oh?"
Huang E'er came back to her senses and looked at Liu Ningyin in front of her with a smile: "Sister Ningyin, I remember that you and Meng Nianqiao were very close in the past. Now..."
"We're just ordinary friends. Sister Er, weren't you also very close to Chu Yunfei before?"
Liu Ningyin also looked at Huang E'er with a smile.
Both men understood each other tacitly.
They have moved away from their original circles, perhaps for the same reason.
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Ningyin, but..." Huang E'er leaned close to Liu Ningyin's ear and whispered, "I've always felt that Meng Nianqiao seems to be very hostile to Miss Gu. You used to be close to her, do you know the reason?"
"This..." Liu Ningyin hesitated.
"Sister Ningyin, we are together now, aren't we?"
Huang E'er smiled and patted Liu Ningyin's hand.
Liu Ningyin pondered for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Perhaps it's because... Young Master Dongping? The Seventh Young Master loves beautiful women the most."
The seventh son of Dongping family, Dongping Le?
Huang E'er understood immediately.
One of the biggest reasons that can make a woman inexplicably jealous of another woman is men.
"They say women are the root of all trouble, but isn't everything caused by men?" Huang E'er seemed to be speaking from afar. She gently took Liu Ningyin's hand and said with a smile, "I won't be as persistent as Miss Meng. Men are actually children who haven't grown up. The more they can't get, the better they think it is. If Brother Jiang falls in love with someone else, I will definitely help him. That way, he will always remember my kindness to him, don't you think?"
Hearing Huang E'er's words, Liu Ningyin smiled awkwardly: "Sister E'er, you are so generous."
Generous?
Hearing Liu Ningyin's words, Huang E'er just smiled and said nothing.
Now Jiang Chaosheng is still working in the Ministry of Industry and needs the Liu family.
As long as Liu Ningyin's existence can help Jiang Chaosheng, Huang E'er is willing to accept Liu Ningyin for him.
As long as Jiang Chaosheng likes it, she will like it.
That's it.

In Qizhuju, a group of noble ladies were performing various dramas, while at this time, in Fusheng Bookstore, Jiang Jiang was bringing fruit to Uncle Ping.
"Uncle Ping, it's good for your health to eat more fruit."
Uncle Ping was touched when he saw the grapes Jiang Jiang handed to him.
"Thank you, thank you Miss Jiang."
"What are you thanking me for? If I have to say thank you, it should be you. Not only did you rent me a warehouse at a low price, you also helped me contact so many sellers. This time you even bought cotton for me from Hezhou. You're so good to me. I just don't know how to thank you." After Jiang Jiang finished speaking, he ate a grape himself. Tsk, it was a bit sour.
"Actually, this is just a small favor from me. No, it's nothing. As long as you and Ah Chong are fine in the future, that's all that's fine."
When talking about this, Uncle Ping seemed to become a lot more energetic.
