Chapter 17: Cool Treasures
Most people were tossed and stunned by this succession of wedding banquets, and they didn't know what was going on, why the Hou Ye treated his wife like a jewel before, and he was unusually pampered, and in the blink of an eye, there were newcomers entering the door one after another.
Two of them seem to be big.
It is not for nothing that there are sober people, for example, Yinluo, who has been quietly arranging the entry of the three newcomers before and after, as well organized as every ordinary day;
The most panicked smile is weirdly calm, as if nothing happened, watching the scenery every day, walking, practicing calligraphy, playing chess, even in the face of the new aunt is the same attitude, elegant laziness, careless calmness, indifferent indifference.
The biggest reaction is Su Niang, who is still immersed in the beauty of getting her wish. The cruel reality couldn't wait to wake her up, and in the face of three new aunts with different styles, Su Niang was completely stunned.
……
In fact, Xiaoxiao didn't understand what was going on, but there was a little smile to understand: even if Xiao Di was there, he would not disobey the Queen Mother's decree.
It just so happened that Hanxiao was going to help Xiao Di take a concubine, and now the Queen Mother rewarded one, and Chen Guogong's Mansion sent one, so it was natural for him to help him take one, and the province had to persuade him, so it reduced a lot of trouble;
Smiling's idea has always been like this, according to his own arrangement, emergencies are good things for the arrangement, and bad things are bad things;
It is said that there are a few more aunts now, which should be a bad thing for Hanxiao, but since Hanxiao knows where Xiao Di's love lies, then she is not worried that Xiao Di will be tempted by them, as long as she is not tempted by them, then these people are not in Hanxiao's eyes. After all, Hanxiao stands in the name of the main room, you can snub and ignore them at will, and you can also control them, this is the right of Hanxiao as the mother of the house, if Yinluo still can't grasp the inner courtyard like this, it will be too much to underestimate Yinluo's ability!
So Hanxiao continued to be leisurely, as for why the bigwigs in Minjing suddenly paid so much attention to Xiao Di, Hanxiao didn't want to know now.
She wasn't that interested in Xiao Di's affairs right now.
Her attention now is all on other aspects, the child in her belly is one of the concerns, and the other is the true qi in her body, since she entered the seventh layer of internal strength, the true qi in her body has turned purple, which is normal, but the problem is the silver sword qi.
In the past, as long as Hanxiao worked hard to cultivate, the sword qi was quite honest and didn't cause too much trouble to Hanxiao. But since she was pregnant, she found that the sword qi often operated unconsciously, and the purple mist also ran with it, so she didn't need to control it at all, what should I do?
Hanxiao was a little puzzled, and a little anxious, Xiaoxiao was still young, but she didn't want to die.
So I took a lot of time out every day to observe the situation in my body.
That sword qi should be related to the stars, this smile has long known that the power will be stronger at night, and a little weaker during the day; no matter how powerful it is, it is just the feeling of laughter, which is not accurate. Now the sword qi circulates slowly during the day and rapidly at night, circling around the child in Hanxiao's body, Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she almost fainted, she couldn't accept such a thing as the child dying in the womb.
Fortunately, the sword qi only revolves around the child, but it does not hurt the child, occasionally touching it but immediately moving away, the sword qi with a smile seems to have a spiritual sense, this look is like playing at all, even if he thinks about it, he doesn't dare to relax at all, he is worried all day long, most of his energy is focused on the stomach, and he has no energy to care about other things, and of course he has no interest in taking care of it;
Hongdan was surprised that he returned to normal after a few days, seeing that Hanxiao was as always, and Yinluo Lujiao was also as always, and he felt that his fuss was really out of grace, and he returned to normal after blushing secretly.
It's Qingsha, but she hasn't come back to her senses yet, she is still dizzy when she talks and does things every day, and Yinluo doesn't remind her, so she gets dizzy at will. Hongdan was anxious for her, and repeatedly hinted at Qingsha, but the other party didn't understand, and Hongdan couldn't help it!
……
By mid-May, Xiao Di hadn't come back yet, and he closed the door with a smile.
Shui Hanwu came to visit in the evening, at that time, Hanxiao was lying in the small hall of the lotus heart building of Yuanxiang Lake, bathing in the warm breeze of the summer night, looking at the large lotus flowers outside, and in the shade under the corridor, a woman with a graceful posture and gentle temperament was playing a quiet tune.
Shui Hanwu waved his hand at the little maid who led the way, signaling that she didn't need to report, and shook his head at the woman playing the piano, signaling that there was no need to stop and salute; he lifted the curtain and entered, a faint cool air greeted him, and most of the heat on Shui Hanwu's body disappeared in an instant. Shui Hanwu blinked suddenly, and said dissatisfiedly, "Okay! I broke my leg outside for your business, but you enjoyed it very much!"
Hanxiao hurriedly got up and was about to get off the soft couch, Shui Hanwu hurriedly waved his hand, walked a few steps to Hanxiao, and pressed Hanxiao on the couch: "You don't need to express it with actions, just open your mouth to explain, I'm easy to be satisfied"
With a smile, he couldn't help laughing, pointed to the small transparent water tank on the small table and said, "That's it, you can see for yourself!"
Misty curiously observed a small water tank, and felt a cooler air than just now, although this cool air was rich, it was not cold, but warm. Han Wu was even more surprised in his heart, and when he looked closely, he found that there were four or five transparent water bead-like crystal clear items inside, and he didn't know what they were.
looked at Hanxiao in confusion, waiting for Xiaoxiao to explain.
smiled and didn't shirk it, and said directly: "This is what I found out of my dowry, it is said that it was given to my father by a businessman from other places to cool off in summer, called the summer stone, which is not an extremely precious thing, but rare." I looked good, so I asked for it all. If it weren't for the summer weather in Minjing, I wouldn't have thought of this thing! If it were put in the water, it would be very cool, and it would be very useful to cool off the heat, and I had already sent a few back to my father, and I have these few left. ”
Explaining with a smile, it was clear that there weren't many such things on display, and Hanwu couldn't help grinding his teeth: "Isn't my sister going to give my sister a few?"
Hanxiao pretended to be aggrieved: "Sister, there are only a few of them here!"
Hanwu couldn't hold back any longer, and was about to stand up and teach Hanxiao a good lesson, so that he could know why the flowers were so red, but Hanxiao saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "I still have so many here? ”
Hanwu suddenly smiled, and greeted Hongdan as if he had won a battle: "Help me bring something with water, I can't just take it back." ”
"You're welcome, sister. He muttered with a smile.
"My sister and I, who are with whom! A cheerful laugh with a misty smile.
He looked at the qi knot with a smile and grinded his teeth secretly.
Hongdan brought a delicate lotus-patterned celadon kettle, which was still filled with water, and took away half of the heat stone in the water tank unceremoniously, and felt that this thing was precious, so unkind, a little embarrassed, flattering Chong Han smiled.
Seeing that Hanwu cherished this so much, it was a little strange: "Sister, are you so happy?"
Hanwu glared at him and said with a smile: "My sister is really in the blessing and doesn't know the blessing!" said sourly: "Minjing is about to heat people to death in the summer, with this, wouldn't it be much more comfortable." ”
He was puzzled: "Why have I never heard of the summer stone?" You must know that there is such a thing, even if it is a sky-high price, I am willing to buy it." ”
smiled and moved in his heart.
Hanwu came back to his senses, remembered the purpose of his coming, and hurriedly said: "Sister, I heard that you have several aunts here, and you will open your face when the Hou Ye comes back, right?"
"Hmm," he smiled, nodded.
"I've been asking about it all this time. My father-in-law probably knew something, but he didn't tell him, and I couldn't get any specific information at home. Later, I went to a few good friends to inquire, and then I learned that Hou Ye went out this time to invite a Confucian master, and it was estimated that he was going to implement a new policy. ”
"New Deal?" said with a smile.
"I was also puzzled at the time, but I heard them say that the one invited by the Hou Ye was the minister who suggested the reform of the first emperor in the previous court, but the first emperor did not adopt it at that time, but because his suggestion violated the interests of many people, he was jointly suppressed by those people, and finally took the initiative to resign and return home. ”
Seeing that Hanwu said that he had a nose and eyes, he nodded.
Hanwu continued: "No, five years after the emperor ascended the throne, the government is harmonious, and the power is in his hands, whether he wants to reform or implement a new policy, no one has the ability to stop it." So at this time, the ministers could only stammer, and they did not dare to suppress. ”
"The one in your family who can be ordered to invite must be someone trusted by the emperor. And if you see that great Confucian first, you can also seize the opportunity, if you don't stammer at this time, I'm afraid it will be too late in the future. However, the Hou Ye has already married, and his wife was born in Wu Yue's oldest family, and she was born noble, and those people did not dare to bully at will, so they could only send concubines to get closer. ”
He smiled and nodded.
Hanwu continued to explain: "I also checked the three people who entered the door of your house. The Chen family who was given by the Empress Dowager has the highest status, and she is the daughter of the side line, and generally speaking, she can marry into the princess's house as the main room, so the lady of the main room will be the most threatening to her sister;"
Then he pouted and said: "The one sent by the Jiang family is about the same as the aunt in our house, and it is a little better! Don't look at the cold and arrogant appearance on the surface, in fact, it is also a goblin who has been trained to serve men, and she is proficient in singing and dancing, blowing, playing and singing, and my sister should be careful not to let her take away the soul of your lord." Or maybe he snorted heavily.
"The other one, that is, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Mu family helped find the Zhu family, the father is a gentleman, there are two daughters and a son, I don't want my daughter to be a child, but the family really can't get by, all the people in their clan asked if they were willing, the eldest daughter volunteered to be small, and all the dowry received was left at home to subsidize the family. It seems that the character is very cowardly, but it is the best to handle, but the appearance, temperament and personality are very good, and they are literate and literate, and the red sleeves add fragrance, and my sister must have a number in her heart;"
With a smile, he nodded and said, "Thank you, sister, for bothering me so much." ”
"Look at what my sister said, aren't we sisters? I don't help you help anyone. Hanwu said angrily, blinking mischievously: "Actually, I also know, my sister doesn't need to know this, as long as she enters the inner courtyard of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, it is my sister's world, no matter how high her means are, she can't escape from her sister's palm." ”
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pursed her mouth: "Look at what my sister said, it seems that my sister is the shrew, I don't follow." ”
Hanwu hurriedly smiled and comforted, and the two chatted for a while, Hanwu told Hanxiao some of her experiences and lessons when she was pregnant, and Hongdan memorized them attentively on the side.
Later, we had dinner together, and then I said goodbye and left, of course, I didn't forget to take the summer stone away.
After Hanwu left, Hanxiao immediately ordered Hongdan: "Call Manager Chi over, and Heshun Yinluo also call over, I have something urgent." ”
When Chi Xuanqi, Shui Heshun, and Yinluo came to the flower hall of the lotus heart building, they waited left and right with a smile, and went straight to the point: "I want to open a new store, specializing in selling summer stones, what do you think?"
Chi Xuanqi immediately said: "It's not very profitable to sell only this one, it's better to add more rare and exquisite exotic goods to form a shop, and the name is 'Qi Zhen Zhai'." And the name of the summer stone must be changed, and it must be given a loud and elegant name. ”
Pursing his lips with a smile and smiling, Shui and Shun Yinluo both looked at Chi Xuanqi in surprise.
Chi Xuanqi explained with a smile: "Actually, I already have such a plan, the plan has been completed, and the goods are being improved, and I plan to report to the little master in a few days!"
Laughing happily, Shui Heshun and Yinluo were stunned.
Chi Xuanqi continued: "My plan is to spread the 'Treasure Zhai' to various countries. Most of our current business is in Wuyue, which is a bit too concentrated, and I suggest that we expand our business area in the future, and we may have our business in various countries in the near future. ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy to be a businessman, and the businessman's status is a bit low. Shui Heshun was a little hesitant.
"Since the status of merchants is low, why do we want to walk around the countries in the name of merchants?" Chi Xuanqi asked in a funny way: "We have masters who can do business with people in the rivers and lakes; we also have a lot of scholars, so let's just let each of them take the imperial examination in their respective countries, and it is good to become officials in the court, which can be regarded as a future for them, and we will do business by the way."
The little lord didn't want them to do anything when he saved them, just because it was pleasing to the eye and did it easily. Now that we have succeeded in cultivating them, we will be able to do something convenient!"
Shui and Shun were speechless. Yinluo looked funny on the side and couldn't help but chuckle.
Several people had no objections, and the matter was settled.
-- A commercial kingdom has been established, and a power is about to become rich and rival the country, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable!
