Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

"I don't care," Xu Huizhen whispered softly, "Now that you are my man, you will be everything to me in the future...as long as you never leave me."

She leaned gently on Yang Ming's chest, revealing her tender affection. Facing such a woman, how could Yang Ming not be moved?

However, Xu Huizhen was busy all night last night and also had to take care of the tavern business, so Yang Ming was not in a position to continue to be intimate with her.

The next day, the tavern finally reopened.

As the proprietress, Xu Huizhen was wiping the counter and checking the wine glasses, tables and chairs, her heart filled with anxiety and anticipation.

"Don't be nervous," Yang Ming gently held her hand, "Everything is ready."

At this time, a middle-aged man with a wealthy face and wearing a mandarin jacket came in with a gait, playing with a pair of walnuts in his hands, and said in a loud voice: "Oh, the tavern is reopened today, I came to take a look."

"Master Niu, please come in and have a seat. I haven't seen you for a few days. The tavern just opened today. I prepared something special for you.

"I've got two great dishes to go with the wine!" Xu Huizhen greeted enthusiastically.

Niu Ye glanced at the new red paper price list in the store and found that in addition to the drinks, there were also several more side dishes. However, the price of the drinks was 20% higher than before.

He frowned and asked unhappily, "Huizhen, you raised the prices on the first day of your opening. Aren't you trying to cheat us old customers?"

Xu Huizhen smiled, pointed at the handwriting next to it and explained, "Master Niu, you misunderstood. From now on, the wine in the tavern is all pure brewed wine, and it will never be mixed with water. If it is found that it is mixed with water, the fine will be ten times the amount! Therefore, the price of the wine has increased by 20%, please forgive me."

After hearing this, Niu Ye's expression eased a little, and he nodded and said, "Hui Zhen, you are courageous! This wine is not diluted with water. I will come here often in the future!"

He went on to say, "You know I always keep accounts and settle them once a month. Now that the boss lady has changed, the rule has not changed, right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Niu," Xu Huizhen replied, "You are an old customer of our tavern. Even if others can't keep accounts, you can definitely do it. You will still follow the old rules when you come next time!"

"Great! Great!" said Uncle Niu happily, "Give me half a pound of good wine, and a portion of pork head and tripe!"

Niu Ye was overjoyed to hear this, after all, he always liked to hear good words. As a former member of the Eight Banners, although his family had fallen into poverty, he had always enjoyed special treatment in the tavern.

However, face is something that must be maintained after all.

As for keeping accounts and paying for drinks, Uncle Niu was not short of money. He simply liked the special treatment and felt it was very face-saving.

And Xu Huizhen also gave Niu Ye full face, which made him feel very happy.

Therefore, today, Master Niu made up his mind to support Xu Huizhen no matter what, and to help her guard this small tavern to prevent anyone from causing trouble after drinking.

On Xu Huizhen's side, she swiftly brought the food and wine ordered by Mr. Niu to the table, and also gave an extra plate of boiled edamame and a dish of peanuts as a small token of her appreciation.

She and Yang Ming smiled at each other. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Afterwards, guests from the tavern arrived one after another.

When they saw the red paper notice posted at the door, which clearly stated that from now on the company would never sell watered-down wine and that a tenfold penalty would be imposed for counterfeit goods, they all gave Xu Huizhen a thumbs up.

It is truly admirable that a woman can have such courage and determination.

"Huizhen, congratulations!"

Just when Xu Huizhen was busy entertaining guests, a young man who looked quite elegant walked into the tavern. He walked straight towards Xu Huizhen with a flattering smile on his face.

"Teacher Xu," Xu Huizhen seemed a little cold when she saw the man. She just nodded slightly without saying much.

This made the bespectacled teacher Xu Hesheng feel a little embarrassed, but he did not give up and ordered a pot of

With a glass of wine and a dish of snacks, he sat aside and continued to observe Xu Huizhen. Obviously, Xu Hesheng also had feelings for Xu Huizhen.

After all, Xu Huizhen now not only inherited the tavern and two courtyards, but also became Mr. He’s adopted daughter. Her identity and status have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Such a woman who is both rich and beautiful naturally attracted the attention of many men.

In the tavern, there were many young men like Xu Hesheng who had the same idea.

But no matter how hard they tried to show themselves and attract Xu Huizhen's attention, the other party always maintained a gentle and distant smile, neither deliberately distancing herself nor giving anyone a chance.

No one knew that this seemingly gentle and virtuous tavern owner actually already had someone in her heart.

"Oh, I'm not too late, am I?"

Suddenly, there was a charming laugh at the door, and then a gorgeously dressed woman named Chen Xueru, wearing a cheongsam, walked into the tavern.

Her appearance immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Unlike Xu Huizhen's gentle temperament, Chen Xueru's beauty is more flamboyant and eye-catching, making it impossible to ignore her. Her arrival undoubtedly adds a bit of liveliness and color to the tavern.

"I heard that the owner of the tavern has changed."

"Huizhen, congratulations."

"If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me. We are sisters in this together!" Chen Xueru also walked to the counter and nodded to Xu Huizhen.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhen nodded with a slightly awkward smile on her face.

At this moment, she knew clearly the relationship between Chen Xueru and Yang Ming. In a word, she had secretly snatched away her best friend's lover.

But Chen Xueru was still unaware of it, and had not noticed the green shade above her head. But then again, women's intuition is always so sharp that it is amazing.

When Chen Xueru's eyes fell on Yang Ming, a meaningful expression suddenly appeared on her face. She smiled and took the initiative to walk to the table where Yang Ming was.

The two drinkers who were sitting there originally, sensing Chen Xueru's hostile aura, also tactfully retreated to the side.

aside.

"Xueru."

Yang Ming was not in a hurry, and even raised his glass and smiled at Chen Xueru.

"Would you like to have a couple of drinks together?"

"How about we not have a drinking contest today?"

When Chen Xueru heard the word "drinking contest", she recalled the last time she lost to Yang Ming, especially when she vomited all over the place after returning home.

Her aura suddenly weakened a bit, and she just snatched Yang Ming's wine glass and drank it without hesitation.

Then, she said quietly, "Xiao Ming, why haven't you come to see me these days?"

"I heard from Chuntao that you have been busy in this tavern. Could it be that you have fallen in love with Huizhen?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Xue Ru, stop making trouble. Hui Zhen and I are just friends."

Yang Ming said, and added another sentence, as if he wanted to cover up something.

"Just like us."

""...

Chen Xueru didn't expect Yang Ming to admit his relationship with Xu Hui so frankly. After all, she knew the relationship between herself and Yang Ming.
