Chunjiang saw that Li Qianqian's face was not good, and quietly told her, "The eldest master went to the construction site early in the morning, and I heard that several foremen were looking for him." ”

"Hmm. Li Qianqian's face turned slightly pale, "What are the foremen looking for him?"

Chunjiang smiled and leaned into Li Qianqian's ear and whispered, Li Qianqian turned his head to look at her, "Please ask the eldest master to be a matchmaker?"

"Yes. Chunjiang chuckled, "Actually, it's just that the man and woman have already said that they will ask the eldest master to be an iceman, but it is just to make a face for the woman's family, I heard that the woman is the daughter of a wealthy family in Hetang City, and the family is in the timber business, and the man's father is an old friend of several foremen, and he entrusted his son to them to take care of before he died, and his father was responsible for the wood used by several foremen before his death." ”

Several foremen were carpenters, and the amount of wood was large, and they didn't have the energy to keep an eye on the quality of the wood, so they entrusted carte blanche to the father of the later life, and later the future life.

The woman's parents are very optimistic about this son-in-law, but it is inevitable that some people in the family will be jealous and jealous, and they will be bitter and mean when they speak. ”

In order to make a face for the woman, the foremen asked Master Li to come forward as a matchmaker, in fact, he is a matchmaker who shows his face and fills the scene, and if he really wants to talk about marriage, he has a real matchmaker in charge.

However, because he was not at home, the eldest lady dared to make such a request to Li Qianqian.

As for the second master, he eats and drinks well all day long, messes with women, at most occasionally cares about the old lady, and he ignores and does not interfere in the affairs of the big house, and the second wife, she now except for keeping an eye on the belly of the new women of the second master, and from time to time to anger the old lady, she doesn't care about other things.

Because of this, when the eldest lord is not there, the eldest lady in the house is in charge.

was rejected by Li Qianqian and Ji Yaoshen together, the eldest lady was full of resentment, and went to complain to her daughter, but only got Li Jingjing's light sentence, "I knew that you couldn't make it, and there was nothing strange about it." The eldest lady vomited so much that she almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

No, she can't be looked down upon by her daughter, she has to find a way to let them take her daughter to Beijing.

I have to say that the eldest lady is a little stunned because of this.

Ordered to stare at the pigeon guard in Loei, he shook his head, the sect leader told her so clearly, but this one couldn't turn around.

After Li Qianqian returned to the rudder, he ordered someone to invite the four elders to come over, the four elders are now so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, but no matter how busy they are, they have not forgotten to get a vegetable field in their residence, and he can be seen busy in the vegetable field every morning and dusk.

The helmsman had long heard about the four elders' new hobbies, but no matter how much he heard about it, he was shocked when he saw it with his own eyes, but the helmsman's adaptability was good, and after watching it for two days, he could follow behind the four elders to help carry water and catch insects.

When the four elders heard that Li Qianqian asked someone to invite him, they couldn't help but be stunned, it was rare for the sect leader to have something to find him!, "But what is the matter with the person who came?"

The one who came to Tongyu was a kid who didn't have a head, scratched his head, and after scratching the head that was comparable to a bird's nest even more, he said, "The sect leader just came back from Loei, probably something to do with Loei!"

The four elders put the wooden spoon in their hands back into the bucket, "Let's go!" and handed the bucket to the waiting servant.

"Huh?" The Fourth Elder is leaving? The Helmsman hurriedly followed, opened his mouth to ask something, and then realized that he didn't know where to start, he didn't know about the matter between the Sect Master and the Li family!

Although the four elders knew that he was full of questions, he did not solve his doubts, and when he came to the gate of Li Qianqian's residence, he spoke, "You have to go and get busy beforehand!"

The helmsman was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, the sect leader invited the four elders to come over, and he was afraid that it was a private matter, and he was not good to go in to observe, so he nodded knowingly, and turned around to leave, not wanting to be stopped by Chunshou who rushed to greet him.

"The Helmsman is here, too! It just so happens that the Sect Master is waiting for the two of you!" she smiled and welcomed them in.

Entering the courtyard, I saw Li Qianqian sitting under the big banyan tree in the courtyard, busy stepping forward to salute, Li Qianqian invited them to sit down, and when they sat down, they went directly to the topic, the four elders quickly entered the situation, but the helmsman was a little unable to react, didn't the sect leader come to them to talk about the Li family?

Li Qianqian not only talked to them about the hot spring inn, but also said the new tea shop opened by the four elders, and the helmsman saw that the two of them were talking energetically, and it took a while to react, it turned out that the four elders would open a tea shop, which was also instructed by the sect leader!

He was a subordinate of the four elders before, watching the two of them become what they are now, there is an indescribable emotion in his heart, thinking that when the great sect leader accompanied the four elders to the Xie family to propose marriage, the Xie family was grateful to Dade, and when he knew that it was the four elders who proposed the marriage, the faces of the Xie family brothers changed, the four elders and the great sect leader did not know, but he could see it clearly, the Xie family brothers looked disdainful, as if the four elders married his sisters Gao Pan.

If you want him to say that the Xie family is the fourth elder, even though the fourth elder was young at the time, he was not as important as the eldest elder and the second elder in the Ruiyao Sect, but he was also one of the four elders!

The Xie family was just a scholarly family, and the family path had already fallen into the middle, and it was really laughing to death that he dared to think of the Great Sect Master as his son-in-law! What kind of person is the Great Sect Master? In the eyes of the Helmsman, the four elders marrying the Xie family are all the ancestors of the Xie family.

In fact, it is true, over the years, if it weren't for the four elders who indulged in the errands arranged by their wives and uncles, they were afraid that the Xie family would have already declined, how could they still look down on others there with the style of a famous scholarly family.

It is said that the four elders are also true, and there must be a limit to spoiling their wives! Spoiled so much that the Xie family only has his mother's family in his eyes, and he has never even cared about the children he gave birth to.

Seeing the four elders nesting in the rudder, the rudder master was sad for him, but fortunately he was cheering up now.

The fourth elder couldn't be unaware of the sight of the helmsman with a lot of emotion, he smiled bitterly at Li Qian, "Let the sect master smile, he has followed me since he was a child, and he is like a brother to me." ”

When he was a brother, he naturally felt sorry for his brother, and when he saw him cheer up and take his son to establish a tea shop, even if the sons of the Zhang family did not enter the caravan and the warehouse, they could stand on their own, so as not to make the four elders sad for the livelihood of their children and grandchildren in the future.

Li Qianqian nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a suspicious glint in the corner of the helm's eye, and immediately said to the four elders, "Your brother has a lot of sentimentality, you have to take care of it." ”

"That's it. The four elders chuckled, glanced at the helmsman gently, and then turned back to continue to talk with Li Qianqian, "The tea shop is generally on track, and their brothers are quite obedient, so there won't be any big problems in the future." ”

After being treated coldly by the Xie family before, I believe that they will not be deceived by the Xie family's rhetoric casually.

"You have decided that it is your Zhang family's property, let their brothers work hard. ”

"Yes. The four elders nodded, after he left it alone, the sons were quite sensible, and they devoted themselves to taking care of the house's chores, and did not want to deviate because their husbands and wives were out of harmony.

"Anyway, Mrs. Zhang has made a lot of contributions to the Zhang family, and she should be kind to her, so as not to cause a gap between father and son. ”

The four elders smiled bitterly, looking at the girl who had grown up a lot in front of him, the four elders always had a strange feeling, the girl in front of him was not big and had a delicate face, but when he spoke, he always felt old-fashioned, which obviously did not match his appearance.

However, what she mentioned was that no matter how bad the Xie family was, at least he would open up branches and leaves for the Zhang family, and he had to take credit, he was not at home all the year round, and her children were all raised by her, although she regarded her nephews and nieces as heavier than her own children, but the children were not raised by her, on the other hand, the juniors of the Xie family were so pampered by her that they couldn't stand up.

In recent years, he took advantage of the situation to hand over the warehouse and the caravan, and no longer did everything himself, Xie asked his son and his mother's family to withdraw from the warehouse and the caravan, just to force him to bow his head, I don't want him not only did not bow his head, but also did not invite Xie's nephew and nephew back, and even his own son was left alone.

After the sons of the Zhang family withdrew, without waiting for Mrs. Zhang to speak, they found something to do on their own, and those people of the Xie family wanted to go back to their own industry, but there were not many industries, and there were already people to manage them, although they used to work in caravans and warehouses, but everyone knew what they called doing things.

The warehouse and the caravan were created by the four elders and the great sect leader and Li Qianqian, Li Qianqian's master and apprentice handed over the warehouse and the caravan to him, and he was fully responsible, how could he bear to let the silverfish destroy them, seeing that his wife and the Xie family were becoming more and more greedy, as soon as he seized the opportunity to clear them out, he naturally would not let them go.

Even if the husband and wife are discordant and the father and son turn against each other, he does not regret it, but fortunately, the sons are still sensible, but the daughters are a little biased.

It's funny to say that Xie herself is trying her best to get benefits from her mother-in-law's family and return to her parents' house, while her daughters, on the contrary, are from her mother's family and return to her mother-in-law's house.

Li Qianqian saw the smile in the eyes of the four elders, and knew that in his eyes, he must still be a child pretending to be an adult, so he didn't say anything to him anymore, anyway, the matter between their husband and wife, they would solve it, the reason why she reminded him was that she didn't want the Xie family to use this to attack him, and then affect the operation of the hot spring inn, and the harmony of the Zhang family.

For the sake of the long term, of course, she wants to strangle all the dangers she can see in the cradle.

What's more, just remind one or two, and it doesn't take much effort, the fourth elder is such a smart person, he must know what to do best, instead of following the temper and rudely grounding his wife.

It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, maybe someone will find the Xie family and encourage the Xie family to come out and make trouble, as far as she knows, but there are many people who have a wait-and-see attitude towards the hot spring inn, after all, there is an inn whose business is booming, they just heard about it, and they haven't seen it in person, and when the hot spring inn is officially opened, it will surely impact the business of many merchants.

Li Qianqian plans to move the haute couture store over, of course, the one in the city has to be kept, otherwise the guests who can't book the hot spring inn will have to go there to order clothes?

Thinking that she hadn't told the shopkeeper of the high-end shop about this, she patted her forehead with a headache, and turned her head to ask Chunshou to send someone to inform the shopkeepers of Jinyifang and Tianbaofang.

"In the hot spring inn, don't you let Fumanyuan and the teahouse be stationed?"

"The hot spring inn has its own restaurant and teahouse, and the route taken by the hot spring inn is health, so the target customers are nobles who are a little old and pay attention to health, and there is a lively water and land activities in the inn are different. ”

The four elders asked curiously, "What is the meaning of the route taken, and what is the meaning of health preservation?"

Li Qianqian touched his head and smiled, "The route you take! That's the direction, you see there are quite a few meat owners in the market, right? However, some meat stalls can only sell their meat to the ordinary people in the market, and some meat stalls sell meat that can be sold to restaurants and restaurants. Restaurants are in business, and they have to collect money from customers for their meat dishes, if the quality of the meat used is not good, and the customers are not satisfied after eating, will they come to the door later?"

After a pause, she asked again, "Just like if you open a tea shop, there is naturally not only one kind of tea to sell, but there are many kinds, if you sell more tea is cheap, the guests who come to the door will naturally only be able to afford cheap tea, and the guests who want to buy good tea will not come to the door, even if you have the good tea they want to buy, they will not come, because they feel that it is too unstylish to buy tea with those small people in the market." ”

The Fourth Elder nodded when he heard this, "What you said is that my sons were asking me about this last night. The fourth elder smiled bitterly, "To tell you the truth, I really haven't come up with a solution." ”

If you have abundant funds, you can get two shops, located in different areas, one in the market where the nobles come and go, and the other in the market where there are many small people. ”

In fact, the four elders didn't think about it, he just didn't turn the corner for a while.

Hearing Li Qianqian say this, he understood.

As for health preservation, she pulled Lan Tang over and explained it to him, and the four elders understood, "Then the cooks in the hot spring inn also need special training?"

"That's nature, and also, the meal in our hot spring inn is not called medicinal food, but called a health meal. ”

What's the difference, isn't it all the same to put in the herbs?

"Of course it's different! Some elderly people don't like it when they hear about medicine, because it means that they are sick! Although we also have medicinal herbs in our health meals, the main purpose of our health meals is to maintain health, not to cure diseases. ”

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of feelings.

The four elders were thoughtful.

After the shopkeepers of the shops such as Jinyifang came over, Li Qianqian told them what he had just told the four elders, and asked them to help keep an eye on the chef candidates.

When the Fourth Elder heard this, he couldn't help but speak, "Sect Master, you have forgotten that the Great Sect Master met the descendants of the Divine Chef in the Snow Mountain before. ”

Oh yes, she's forgotten about him. However, "He only said that he was a descendant of the Divine Chef at the time, but he didn't say that his house was there, so we went up there to find it?"

"If you ask Rong Jiuye, you should know, right?"

Li Qian smiled lightly, "Yes, Rong Jiuye has a house in the mountain villages of Snow Mountain, I think he should know where the family of the god chef is." ”

"If there is the help of the descendants of the god chef, I believe that our hot spring inn will be able to go well. ”

Li Qianqian seized the time and talked with them all night, the next day the sky was still bright, Li Qianqian and his party left the rudder, and when they came to the city gate, the city gate was opened, and the city officials guarding the gate saw the road guide opened by the king of Shuilan County, and sent them out of the city respectfully and politely.

At that time, Mrs. Li Da hurriedly pulled Li Jingjing into the car and wanted to stuff her daughter to the rudder, but she didn't believe it, everyone got it in front of her, and she could still refuse herself.

Unexpectedly, when I came to the rudder, it was quiet outside the rudder, and the coachman came forward to knock on the door, but no one responded for a long time, Mrs. Li was so angry that she couldn't do it, Li Jingjing looked at her coldly, and leaned against the wall of the car with the futon and closed her eyes to sleep, completely ignoring her mother.

It wasn't until dawn that the rudder seemed to wake up from his slumber, and a little man came out with a broom to sprinkle the sweep, and the coachman hurriedly stepped forward to let them help pass the word.

The servants exchanged glances with each other, and one of the larger ones took the broken silver and the name tag in his hand, "I'll help you pass it on!" But I heard that the sect leader has been busy all night, and he should have only slept for a short time, so I'm afraid he won't see any guests. "And no one came to the door so early. Although the little guy didn't say this, how could the coachman not see the meaning in his eyes.

He laughed with him, handed over a handful of broken silver, and the little guy took the broken silver, dropped the word, and waited. Turn and run through the door.

After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Li sent a maid over to inquire no less than three times, only to see the little girl come over with red cheeks, "Give it back to you." The steward said, the sect leader explained, she wants to rest, and she won't see any guests today, this uncle should ask your master to go back!"

Go back?

Mrs. Li was so angry that she stretched out her hand to pull her daughter out of the car, Li Jingjing opened her eyes and glared at her, "You are enough, you have to lose face, you will lose face by yourself, I will not accompany you." ”

"You, why don't you listen to this child!" the eldest lady raised her hand to wipe her tears, "If you go in, she won't dare to refuse not to take you into Beijing." ”

"Don't go. Li Jingjing looked at her teary eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable, but this feeling disappeared in a flash, "People have avoided me like a snake and scorpion, why are you still pushing me to do it?

"How?"

"How could it be? As for your bad idea, I'm afraid that if she and the third uncle really respond, I will have to look at her face to live with your daughter in the future. ”

The eldest lady was stunned and said, "With your appearance and ability, if you want to win her husband's heart, it is an easy matter, as long as you capture the man's heart, even if she is the main room, she has to listen to you." ”

"Mother, are you really sure that I can capture a man's heart? In terms of appearance, I am not more beautiful than her. Li Jingjing paused, and then said, "Speaking of ability, what ability do I have for your daughter?"

The eldest lady was blushing when she asked, and to be honest, she really didn't know what her daughter was capable of.

"On the contrary, if Li Qianqian wants my life, she just needs to put her hand here. Li Jingjing reached out and grabbed the eldest lady's hand and put her hand on her neck. "Then with a slight pinch, I'll be dead, don't forget how the armrest of your chair is missing. ”

"You insist on pushing me to her and letting her take me into Beijing, in addition to fighting for a breath, you want her to be very angry, and directly reach out and ask for my life, right?"

Mrs. Li was shocked, her face was full of disbelief, Li Jingjing sneered, "What do you mean by this look? Did you not think of doing this, or did you not expect me to be able to guess your mind?"
