Chapter 115: The years are quiet
Xiao Cui and the other maid covered their mouths and laughed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Mrs. Si was amused and angry, and said to her, "Hurry up and go for a walk and eliminate food." ”
A few maids packed up their things and left with Miaohong laughing and joking.
The field suddenly fell silent, a gust of wind gently blew through the river, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants, the afternoon sun fell on Mrs. Si's beautiful face, she couldn't help but close her eyes in the sun, and a faint smile of reminiscence appeared on her lips.
Shen Nishang also felt relaxed and happy, her body and mind were comfortable, she looked at Mrs. Si, did not ask questions, turned her eyes to the river that was refracting the sparkling waves not far away, took a long deep breath, and closed her eyes to feel the quiet years at this moment.
There was a noise around her, and she turned her head to see that Mrs. Si was lying on her lichen, closing her eyes and showing a slight smile, but she didn't look at her but said, "Lie down, it's very comfortable." ”
Shen Nishang smiled and lay down beside her.
The warm sunlight immediately sprinkled on the surface, warmed the ground, and made people feel comfortable and lazy.
It's so comfortable.
"Sing a tune. Mrs. Si closed her eyes and said softly.
Shen Nishang glanced at her, comprehended, and didn't say much to ask, and sang softly: "Nochar...... Nochar ...... Mulong Nochar ......"
This piece is actually very simple, judging from the pronunciation, there are only five lyrics in total, repeated with a beautiful tune.
The sun is shining, the grass is green, and the spring breeze is just right.
The low and soft tune was like a grunt, and before she knew it, even Shen Nishang herself was immersed in it.
After singing it again, she repeated.
"This is what my mother sang to me. Mrs. Si opened her mouth softly, still lying with her eyes closed, and the smile on her lips was still faint and faint, "When I was a child, I was very squeamish, unlike my father, my father coaxed me every time, but she would punish me, and sometimes, when I made too much trouble, she would hit my palm." My father was used to having a big temper, and every time I was beaten, I would cry all the time at night. She would sleep with me, singing and soothing me to sleep. ”
Shen Nishang stopped singing and listened to her quietly.
She had already guessed that this song should be related to Mrs. Si's mother, and it was not surprising to hear it at this time.
She didn't say anything, because she knew that all Madame Si needed at this time was to listen.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, she sang this song, and she believed that Mrs. Si should know it in her heart.
However, if she doesn't say, she doesn't ask.
"My mother is different from other women. Mrs. Si continued to say to herself, "I'm not afraid of my father, but I'm afraid of her." My dad never dared to say anything she didn't want to say in front of her. At that time, when I was young, I still laughed at my father, saying that my father knew kung fu, so why was he still afraid of my mother. My dad laughed every time and didn't say if I was right or not. Later, I learned that it wasn't because I was afraid of ......."
Mrs. Si paused and did not say any more.
Shen Nishang sighed silently in her heart.
Naturally, it's not afraid.
How can an adult man who has innate and acquired advantages absolutely overwhelm the other party be afraid of a woman who is powerless?
The reason why I am willing to give in is because of love.
Shen Nishang suddenly became curious about Mrs. Si's mother.
In such a world, Mrs. Si's mother is an extremely maverick one.
Many women may not tolerate their husband's other things, nor can they accept that the other party has other people, but after all, when they are married and have children, they choose to endure and accept it.
Not to mention this world, even in the original world, there are most women who endure for the sake of their children.
It is really rare for Mrs. Si's mother to go so simply and decisively.
"Does Madame hate her?" Shen Nishang couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. Si was silent for a long time, smiled lightly, and spit out a word: "Hate." ”
Shen Nishang stopped talking.
It's hate, but the root of this "hate" is probably because of love.
"Don't let outsiders know about this song. Mrs. Si said lightly and didn't say anything else.
Shen Nishang glanced at her, only to see Mrs. Si lying with her eyes closed, her eyebrows calm, and Shen Nishang let out a soft "um".
She doesn't ask her, she doesn't ask her, they trust each other tacitly.
Such a feeling...... Very good.
The two stopped talking, and lay quietly together, feeling the spring light at this moment.
Not far away, two colorful butterflies hovered around the flowers, the colorful butterfly wings kept vibrating, and there was a gust of wind, the petals trembled slightly, and the colorful butterflies rose suddenly, and when the wind stopped, they fell on the branches again.
Shen Nishang looked at it and smiled slightly, withdrew her gaze, and closed her eyes.
Everything is as beautiful as in a painting.
###
Since the store has been decorated, Shen Nishang also sent letters to several people.
After a few people replied, she went to the South Gate Mansion again and summed up with Rong Su.
On March 18, she took Yuchun Xiaocui to the shop, and entered through the back door, Mu Qingling, Feishang Zilu and Zhang Shaohan were already drinking tea in the courtyard.
Although the four of them are not familiar with each other, they are not small men after all, and the scene is not cold.
"You're late. Shang Zilu smiled when he saw her.
The appointment on the letter was not in the middle of the day, but now it was not the end of the hour, and Shen Nishang was half an hour late.
Shen Nishang was in Mrs. Si's courtyard in the morning, and she didn't expect Shen Chongshan to come during lunch, she wanted to retire, but who knew that Shen Chongshan didn't know which tendon was broken, so he put on a loving father to talk to her.
She could only sit with her for a while, and then it was Mrs. Si who played a round before she had to leave.
Waiting in the courtyard, Xiao Cui replied, saying that Shen Chongshan had left the house, and she had just come out.
At this time, she heard Shang Zilu laugh at her, she didn't argue, she just smiled.
"We have set the twenty-second opening, what do you think?" Mu Qing got up, let Shen Nishang sit in his place, and moved to the side to sit down.
Shen Nishang doesn't care about this, the reason why she says that she looks at the days is just to follow the customs.
She didn't believe much of that herself.
"Just do what you think. She thought for a moment and said, "The amount of incense produced now is enough, but Yi Kexiang can only take out ten boxes now." The rest must be supplied to the king's capital, and the king's capital is a bit large, and according to the current output, it will take at least a month to be able to do so. ”
Although we didn't meet each other for a while, we all performed our own duties, exchanged letters frequently, and knew each other's progress and various matters.
Ling Fei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have already reported it in the royal capital earlier." ”
Speaking of business, Ling Fei is now speaking a lot more squarely.
Shen Nishang bowed: "At the moment, we are also thinking about it, but the high-quality incense making methods are cumbersome, and the people recruited at the moment can't help too much for the time being......"
She frowned slightly, manpower is indeed the biggest problem at the moment.
At present, there is only one store, and the problem is not big, but if she opens another store according to her vision, the supply should not be enough.
And right now, in order to supply the emperor with the amount of Yikexiang, they are also a little tight.
At present, those high-grade incense combinations, one is strict with craftsmanship, and the other is out of consideration for the secrecy of the incense party, and most of the process is completed by her and Rong Su.
It's a bit tight.
But she didn't want to say this question in front of these people.
Admittedly, she knew that these people could handle all of them.
But she thinks that the level of trust between them has not reached this level, not to mention, the manpower of several of them may not be only loyal to themselves.
Mu Qing can employ people, and he is also the person of the eldest princess Zhuangzi, and the three of Lingfei Shangzi Lu Zhang Shaohan are all from the same family, not to mention.
Now that Ling Fei has managed to hide her identity, contact with people will definitely reveal traces, and she is unwilling to take such a risk.
Even when he came to the shop these two times, only Zhang Shaohan was left in the shop.
Ling Fei glanced at her and saw that she didn't say anything else, so he didn't say anything.
The matter couldn't be solved for the time being, so Shen Nishang didn't think much about it, and discussed the opening of the business with a few people.
In the end, everything was agreed, Zhang Shaohan looked at a few people and asked, "Then it's decided?"
Several of them nodded.
Shang Zilu proposed heartily: "The **** and Lao Qi plan to come over to take a look, will you come?"
He looked at Mu Qing and Shen Nisheng, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Nisheng, obviously he mainly asked Shen Nisheng.
Shen Nishang had already had an idea, and when she heard this, she nodded and pointed to the box on the second floor of the restaurant diagonally opposite: "When I came, the box had already been booked, so it was better for everyone to be together then." ”
It's not easy for her to show up, but in the same way, except for Zhang Shaohan, it's best not to let people know about their relationship with Xiangpu, and it's best to avoid them.
She and Mu Qing had scruples, and Shang Zilu was afraid of trouble, so everyone simply said yes, try not to let people know, and if there was something that couldn't be solved, let Ling Fei come forward.
Although Ling Fei didn't say anything, he didn't shirk it, and it was a tacit acquiescence.
Hearing Shen Nisheng's proposal, everyone looked at it, the box was diagonally facing the door of the incense shop, and the view was extremely good, and they all nodded in agreement.
When the matter was discussed, they went their separate ways.
Mu Qing called Shen Nishang: "Nishang, wait." ”
Shen Nishang stopped, and Ling Fei, who had already walked to the door, looked back, turned around and left.
"I want to go and see my eldest brother, do you want to go together?" Mu Qing proposed, his eyes looking forward to it.
Shen Nishang thought about it, remembered that she saw Rong Su's face tired the day before yesterday, and she was also a little relieved, nodded, and the two got into Da'an's car together.
When they arrived at the South Gate Mansion, Shen Nishang and Mu Qing took a look, and the twelve apprentices were in groups of two, each of whom had divided labor, and they had done a good job.
Obviously, in the past month, Rong Su has put in a lot of effort, and now it can be regarded as fruitful.
Although Mu Qing didn't know how to do it, he could also see that these people were much more proficient, so he praised: "This method is very good, everyone only learns one, but it is much faster." ”
Shen Nishang shook her head, still dissatisfied: "These are just the most superficial skills, and it is not difficult to learn, but if we want to expand our business in the future, it is still not enough to allocate the current manpower." ”
The process of making incense is less than a few processes, more than a dozen processes, and finally the process of combining incense is the most critical, and it also involves the formula, so she does not dare to hand over to others at will.
At present, she is the only one with Rong Su, Zhong Pinxiang and even a little inferior, she has discussed with Rong Su, and Rong Su also picked two people for training, but the top incense, especially Huang Taishi Sixiang, can only be done by her and Rong Su at present.
If they didn't have the share of the Emperor Wangdu, the two of them would be able to deal with it easily, but with that share of Yikexiang, their current output could only be supplied to this shop.
"How many more people do you need?" Mu Qing thought for a moment and proposed, "Do you want to buy more manpower?"
Manpower must be added, but it cannot solve the most fundamental problem.
Shen Nishang has calculated that as long as there are still two people who need to make incense at the end.
The two talked and entered the second place, Hua Xun was lying on a bench in the courtyard basking in the sun, and sat up when he saw the two of them come in.
"Where's Brother Rong?" Mu Qing has come several times, and Flush Xun is also familiar with it.
Hua Xun pointed to the room to the west, which was the room where Su made incense.
Mu Chaohua smiled and walked over first.
Shen Nishang walked up to Hua Xun, Hua Xun knew what she wanted to ask, so she said directly: "That little girl's family is from the north, and I can't inquire about anything at the moment, and the surrounding neighbors don't have much to say, so I know that it is a farmer's family, and it is not good to escape from the famine." The others were similar to what she had said, and no matter how much she had, she hadn't heard about them. ”
Shen Nishang brought a letter earlier, asking him to inquire about Erya, so there is this statement.
However, she was also prepared, and it was not surprising to hear Hua Xun say this.
But she has always liked to think more about things, even if she knows in her heart that Erya's origin should not be a big problem, but what she should do will not be left behind.
Shen Nishang nodded, indicating that she understood.
When she returned from the trip that day, she also asked Erya to go to Mrs. Si's yard to run errands, and later Mrs. Si also nodded, saying that Erya was available.
Now that Hua Xun has no other problems, it seems that he can start to cultivate Erya.
Shen Nishang walked a few steps with her feet up, and heard Hua Xun ask behind her: "That day, if I don't speak, you really won't help her?"
Shen Nishang stopped and turned around: "No." ”
Hua Xun looked at her quietly, her eyes half-drooping, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Think I'm ruthless?" As early as when Hua Xun reported, Shen Nishang noticed his emotions, and Hua Xun seemed to be a little disapprehensive about her asking him to inquire about the details of the second girl.
Hua Xun raised his eyes: "With your ability, that woman is not afraid at all, not to mention, as long as you say a word, the surname Ling can be settled, and it will not bother you with anything." She's just a little girl, why should you be wary of that?"
Shen Nishang smiled lightly: "Whether you have the ability or not is what you say, whether you can do it or not, whether it is worth doing or not, but I measure it myself." According to what you say, those who become fathers should have the responsibility to provide for their families and take care of the family, and those who are emperors should also have the responsibility to keep their people fed and clothed -- aren't they more obligated than I am, and who can do them all?"
Hua Xun looked at her fixedly: "Then why did you agree to hire me?"
Shen Nishang said lightly: "First, you are useful. Second, I am short of manpower. Thirdly, you had already seen it at the time, and if you can't keep people, you can only stay alive, and I have no choice. ”
Yuchun stood behind Shen Nisheng, watching the conversation between the two intently, and when she heard Shen Nisheng's sentence 'If you can't keep someone, you will stay alive', her lips moved, but she still closed it. (To be continued.) )
