In the morning, Wen Hui, who was beside Madame Bai, came to visit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

said that Mrs. Bai was not feeling well, so she was exempted from asking for peace today.

Bai Qiyu naturally couldn't ask for it, and didn't get up until the end of the morning.

Most of the day, I was lazy on the kang, reading idle books, and occasionally wandering.

Qiushui brought the hot fruit dew into the house, and saw that Bai Qiyu was sitting in front of the window in a daze, and the window was wide open, so he immediately put down the plate and hurriedly took the big syrup to put it on her.

"Miss, you're going to catch a cold if you blow the wind like this!" Qiushui said grumbling while tying a brocade ribbon of white fox fur.

Bai Qiyu came back to his senses and smiled, "You, you're becoming more and more like a little old lady, you can really nag." ”

"If you don't like to hear it, I have to say it, it's been extremely cold these days, but it's not as ...... as usual."

As he spoke, he brought the sherbet again, "Miss, drink it while it's hot, Mother Yao just made it, and she has already sent a bowl to Miss Nine according to your instructions." ”

Bai Qiyu didn't want to make fun of her anymore, so he sat down at the kang table, took the sherbet and tasted it with a small spoon, it was sweet and warm, and he sighed comfortably and satisfactorily and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Qiushui was happy when he saw it, and said with a smile, "Miss, what did you say you wanted balsam for?"

Bai Qiyu said, "Of course, it's to study perfume, you can also try to make balsam, the balsam on the market is not good enough, and there are ...... like incense powder."

"That's Miss, your requirements are too high, those wealthy families, which family's ladies are not all very good, but that's because they haven't seen your ...... concoction"

Bai Qiyu raised his eyebrows confidently and said, "Of course, don't look at who your young lady and I are!"

Qiushui laughed, "You praised yourself first." ”

As he spoke, Qiu Ling returned.

Bai Qiyu didn't wait for her to speak, and said hurriedly, "How is it?"

Qiu Ling walked up to her quickly, and said with joy on her face, "My eldest brother said that he has already seen a few shops, and he only needs to rent and shop locations, and he has to wait for you to get an idea!"

Qiu Ling's elder brother opened a small shop two months ago, mainly selling pickles and daily groceries, and borrowed ten taels of silver from Bai Qiyu at that time. Business is not bad either.

Bai Qiyu asked Qiuling to ask her brother to help find a shop.

As soon as he heard the news, he was in a good mood, snapped his fingers casually, and said excitedly, "This is good, we can make money right away!"

Qiushui looked like the second monk was puzzled, "Miss, what kind of money do you earn?"

Bai Qiyu looked up and smiled, looking at Qiushui's big eyes shining, "Didn't I ask Qiuling's eldest brother to help find a shop, when the shop is found, we can also do business and make money!"

"Miss, are you really here?" Qiushui said dumbfounded.

Bai Qiyu smiled and patted her head, "Fools don't want to make money!"

Since waking up, Bai Qiyu has inadvertently found a lot of things, although Baifu is a businessman, but under the appearance of wealth and splendor, there are always some clues, so that Bai Qiyu guessed what obstacles Baifu's economic development has encountered, and it has begun to shrink.

For example, the daily consumption has been reduced slightly, such as Mrs. Bai's unpredictable mood like the weather, such as the unusually frequent information exchange in shops around the country, such as the gloomy color that Master Bai can't suppress......

With Bai Qiyu's intention, this kind of fluctuation naturally secretly probed some.

Although she couldn't find out the specific facts, she could feel that the inside of this prosperous coat had begun to appear tattered.

The Bai family is the guarantee of her life in this world, and she still understands the truth that there are no eggs under the nest.

So she has been thinking about whether to find a way for herself early on, maybe she will use it one day, even if she can't use it, it is easy to do things with money, and she will not be constrained all the time.

In addition, he has a skill, so he paid attention to opening a shop.

It's just that this era is strict with women, and all women who have not left the cabinet go out of the house to do business, in this era, this is simply impossible!

Qiushui is clearly worried about this problem as well.

"Miss, this is a good idea, but it's too difficult, not to mention that there isn't so much silver to do business, even if we can't even get out of the door of Baifu. ”

This is indeed a problem, the matter of silver is still good to find a way to solve it, but it is inconvenient to go out, no, such an important matter as choosing a shop, I can only ask Qiuling's brother to help.

Bai Qiyu also frowned and pondered.

When Qiu Ju picked a few red plums and brought them in, she saw that several people looked like they were thinking about it, and couldn't help laughing, "Miss, what's wrong?

Several maids around Bai Qiyu, Qiu Shui, Qiu Ling, and Qiu Ju, were all loyal to her. Although when I first woke up, it was really difficult to accept the facts, and I was very estranged from a few maids, but after adapting, I became more and more tacit and more and more sympathetic, after all, in this unfamiliar world, it is always good to have a few people who can be trusted.

Of course, not everyone around the original owner is so good, such as Mother Chen, who can only slap horses, and Xue'er, a big girl with low eyes, and a few restless little maids, there are also such thorns, but they are all cleaned up by Bai Qiyu, and it is not a problem to play some tricks or something.

So this kind of person either left the house or was transferred to another place, and it was better not to stay in her house anyway.

Although there were seven or eight people in the yard of other young ladies, Bai Qiyu said that he didn't need so many people, so after proposing to Mrs. Bai under the pretext of saving money and avoiding disturbing his own perfume, there were only three maids and a mother left in the yard.

And these four are now their own people, so there are not so many unpleasant things in their yard, and they are also a little more comfortable.

Bai Qiyu was interrupted by Qiu Ju's thoughts, turned his head to see the red plum, and said, "When did you go to the garden?

Qiu Ju inserted the plum branch in her hand into a vase of pure white porcelain, and said with a smile, "When I got up early, I saw that Miss and Sister Qiushui were studying perfumery, I thought that when I picked plums last time, the red plum only bloomed a little, and it must have bloomed in the past two days, so I went to pick a few branches, so that the house could be stained with flowers." ”

Qiu Shui smiled and said, "It can be seen that Qiu Ju actually understands Miss's thoughts, so she sent Hongmei." "Red plum represents festivity.

Qiu Ju blinked, "Miss, what's the happy event?"

Bai Qiyu fiddled with the plum branch and said lazily, "There are no happy events, there are a lot of troubles!"

Qiu Shui told Qiu Ju that Bai Qiyu wanted to open a shop.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Ju immediately said excitedly, "Miss, you, do you really want to open a shop?"

Without waiting for her to speak, she said, "I heard You'er say the day before yesterday that the shop where her third brother was a partner rented a larger storefront, and she wanted to transfer the original one out, not far from Fuxing Restaurant on North Street, and the location was very good." "You'er is a little maid in the kitchen.

Bai Qiyu was overjoyed, "Really?"

Qiu Ju said, "You'er is afraid that she is choosing vegetables at this time, so I'll help her go, and by the way, I'll find out more." ”

"Let's go. Bai Qiyu smiled and pushed her out.

Then he asked Qiu Ling, "How big are the shops that your eldest brother is looking at, and how much is the rent?"

Qiu Ling answered one by one.

Bai Qiyu saw that her expression was serious and a little serious, so he quipped, "Why are you so serious, I don't want you to do anything confidential." ”

Qiushui also smiled, "We know this matter ourselves, what are we afraid of." ”

Seeing this, Qiu Ling relaxed a little.

Bai Qiyu listened and nodded and thought.

From this point of view, the start-up capital does not need much, at least, dozens of hundreds of taels of silver are still very loose, after all, the Bai family is a famous rich family, and the money of several young ladies in the house has never been short.

Bai Qiyu has saved up for so many years, but he has also saved a hundred and ten taels of silver. No matter how bad it is, there is no jewelry.

And now the problem is that the right shop, and the right manager, is the boss on the surface.

Both of these are difficult problems, and neither can be solved in a short period of time.

Bai Qiyu thought about it and sighed, "It's really easier said than done." ”

Bai Qiyu was bored, so he took Qiushui to walk in the back garden of Baifu.

Although he has never been out of Baifu, according to visual inspection and the description of the maid, Bai Qiyu also roughly figured out the approximate area and distribution of Baifu.

In general, this Baifu is also a standard high-ranking family in Linfeng City, although it is a businessman, but because the previous generations in Baiyuntang have been officials, it still has some background, and it is not exactly the appearance of an upstart.

To put it simply, the White House is roughly divided into three parts, the front yard, the middle hall, and the back yard.

The front yard is a man's residence, but there is no young master and son in Baifu, so except for the study room of Baiyun Hall, the rest are used as guest rooms and banquet places.

The atrium is a feasting place for women and relatives, and there is a large stage and a garden that leads to the backyard.

The backyard is the residence of the ladies of the White Mansion, a large garden, Mrs. Bai's Orchid Garden is located in the garden from the middle hall to the backyard, and the pavilions of the ladies in the mansion are in the depths of the backyard of the White Mansion, and Bai Qiyu's Yi Tingxuan is located in the northwest corner.

Although it is winter, Baifu has its own conservatory, so you can still see some plants and trees that are not in season in the garden, and some evergreen pine and bamboo in all seasons.

Surrounding Dayu, holding a warm hand stove, Bai Qiyu was in good spirits.

"Qiushui, is there a back corner gate around this garden?" Bai Qiyu looked around from time to time to observe, according to the pattern of the ancient mansion, the backyard usually has a back corner door leading to the outside of the mansion.

"There are two, but one was sealed two years ago, and now only one is left in the southwest corner, which is near Madame's Orchid Garden. ”

Qiushui said and asked, "Miss, you don't want to slip out of the corner gate, do you? This doesn't work, if Madame finds out, it will be miserable." ”

Bai Qiyu stopped and frowned, "In this way, it's impossible to sneak out of the mansion?"

Turning his head and seeing Qiushui's hands red from the cold, he immediately handed her the hand stove, "Hold it quickly, don't freeze." ”

"Miss, take it, the slave is not cold. Qiushui hurriedly pushed.

"If you take it, you can take it, where is so much nonsense. Bai Qiyu raised his eyebrows and stuffed the hand stove into her arms.

Qiushui had no choice but to hold it, and his lowered eyes were full of emotion.
