Chapter 401: The Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents
Zhou Wenbin said neausly: "Yes...... I'm sorry. ”
Zhu Xiaolian took a deep breath, ran to the other side of the kitchen to make a face, and said with a blushing face: "Why do you love to apologize so much?" You didn't mean to. You...... Hurry up and chop the vegetables, my brother and they are still waiting to eat! ”
"Oh, I'll cut it right away." Zhou Wenbin gave instructions and actions, quickly kneaded the noodles after cutting the vegetables, and then went to the stove with firewood, everything was prepared for Zhu Xiaolian, Zhu Xiaolian just needed to put the seasoning, it was very easy.
However, the atmosphere between the two has always been very delicate, and when they get closer, they are nervous, and when they are nervous, they are easy to get rid of things, and they will accidentally touch each other when they rush to pick things up. From time to time, Zhou Wenbin's apologetic voice would be heard in the kitchen, and Zhu Xiaolian scolded him in shame for being a stupid.
During this period, Su Xueyun went to the kitchen to get water, saw Qiu Xiang standing by the door and looked inside, walked over and patted her gently, and asked softly, "Qiu Xiang?" What are you doing here? ”
Qiu Xiang immediately covered her mouth, turned around and patted her chest and whispered, "Sister, you scared me to death!" She glanced back at the kitchen, pulled Su Xueyun and walked away lightly, and smiled mysteriously, "Sister, Wen Bin is helping Xiaolian cook, it turns out that they have such a good relationship, I see that Wen Bin is very nervous Xiaolian, they are a good match." ”
Su Xueyun smiled: "It turns out that Wenbin is inside, so let's not bother them, just wait and eat." ”
Qiu Xiang was surprised: "Sister, why do you seem to know about it a long time ago?" ”
Su Xueyun winked at her, "Of course, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and the two of them are still ignorant, so let's just don't know about it, don't tell them." ”
Qiu Xiang laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, I know my sister, then let's go discuss the matter of the shop." ”
The sisters left quietly, without alarming the ignorant pair of men and women in the kitchen, and Zhu Xiaolian saw that the noodles were all done, so she told Zhou Wenbin to watch the fire and ran back to the room. She drank a large glass of water and said suspiciously, "Why is your heart beating so fast?" That scoundrel used to bully me so much, I wouldn't like him, would I? I wish Xiaolian that you have no chance! ”
Zhou Wenbin, who was left in the kitchen to watch the fire, also pressed his heart, staring at the fire in a daze, until he smelled the mush, he came back to his senses, and immediately hurriedly put out the fire and served noodles. Seeing that he hadn't done this little thing well, Zhou Wenbin was a little annoyed, but it was too late to redo it, so he had to boil an egg soup and serve it to the table. Fortunately, Su Xueyun and the others knew what was going on, no one was picky, and Zhu Xiaolian didn't talk much because of the previous ambiguity, so she kept her head down to eat, and ate half a bowl more, and she didn't know what the taste was.
The relationship between the two of them is fermenting, and there is no delay in doing the right thing. Early the next morning, Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Xiang packed up and prepared to go to the store with Su Xueyun. Chen Xiaosheng and Zhou Wenbin went to the Taishi Mansion to study inventions with Hua Wenwu, Chen Xiaosheng was very proficient in this, Zhou Wenbin grew up in Persia and also had a lot of different opinions. The family is busy and energetic, and their first goal is to stand firm in the capital.
Su Xueyun had already selected the shop after going around the capital before, and when she went out on this day, she went straight to the shop she fancied and discussed the price of the transfer with the shopkeeper. Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, no matter why people want to transfer the shop, the final negotiated price is a huge amount of money. The shop is very large, originally a restaurant, with a total of two floors. After Zhu Xiaolian heard the price, she became nervous, and hurriedly whispered to Su Xueyun when the shopkeeper walked away: "Sister-in-law, our family doesn't have so much silver, even if we let the study out, it will only be five thousand taels at most!" ”
Qiu Xiang leaned over and whispered: "Sister, we want to open a rouge gouache shop, we don't need such a big one, it's better to rent a small shop first, and then buy it when we earn money." ”
Su Xueyun looked at the surrounding decorations and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, I like this shop naturally I can afford it, and I have saved a lot when I was in the rivers and lakes before, which is enough." ”
Zhu Xiaolian was surprised: "Isn't that your dowry?" Sister-in-law, it's not good for you to use your dowry to buy a house, do you want to discuss it with my brother? This kind of thing told him to figure out a way. ”
Su Xueyun smiled and said: "What kind of dowry is not dowry, your brother and I have a good relationship, and the money and things are not divided between each other." Now all the money used is the family's money, and what will be earned back in the future will also be the family's silver. ”
Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Xiang glanced at each other and hesitated: "Is that so?" Doesn't it mean that every woman must keep her dowry? ”
Su Xueyun thought for a while and said, "That's right, but Zhishan and I used to live and die together, and in the most critical time, he can really spare his life for me." In this case, how can these external objects compare to our feelings? In the future, you will be the same, how to get along with your husband depends on how deep your feelings are, in fact, the woman guards the dowry in order not to be hurt by her in-laws, the best solution is that she is strong enough, and her mother's family is strong enough. Now that your mother's family is wrapped up in me, you have to fight for yourself, and you don't have to be afraid of anything if you have the ability. ”
Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Xiang nodded and responded in unison, "We won't let you down." ”
Su Xueyun smiled at them, turned around and handed over the silver to the shopkeeper, and went to the official mansion with him to transfer the house, and this shop was Su Xueyun's. Su Xueyun directly hired twenty people, took out the drawings and taught them to clean up the shop according to the drawings, dividing the downstairs into three small shops, and leaving only one of the small shops on the stairs upstairs. At that time, one shop sold rouge gouache, another shop sold beautiful ready-to-wear, and the one on the second floor of Unicom sold jewelry. The most expensive jewellery is placed on the second floor, where a few private rooms can be set up as a place to entertain distinguished guests, and the second floor is used as a storeroom for three shops. In this way, these three shops seem to be separated, but in fact they are still one, and women can almost change their appearance when they come here, or become beautiful, and the attraction is definitely not small.
Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Xiang knew why she had bought such a big shop, and they were both happy and worried, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't we open one first?" Wouldn't it be too risky to open three rooms together? ”
Su Xueyun looked at the shop and said confidently: "As long as I can do it, it's not called risk, I never do things that I am not sure of." ”
The two thought back to what had happened since they met Su Xueyun, and found that there was really nothing she said she hadn't done, so they gradually put their minds at ease. They even had a hunch that as long as Su Xueyun said something, no matter how difficult or incredible it was, she could do it in the end. Seeing the workers busy with the decoration, the two of them were full of expectations for the future, and they couldn't wait to see how far Su Xueyun could go.
The matter of the shop is over for the time being, and Qiu Xiang is a little worried about whether Hua Wenwu will be scolded by Hua Taishi after researching and inventing. Su Xueyun also knew that she had been a maid in the Taishi Mansion for so many years, and she couldn't let go of the people in the Taishi Mansion at once, so she went home and made a few exquisite pastries and took them to visit Mrs. Taishi together. Su Xueyun does not reject such exchanges, now Qiu Xiang is no longer a maid, their family has helped Hua Wenwu, and they are treated as distinguished guests in the Taishi Mansion, which is good for Qiu Xiang and Zhu Xiaolian, after all, with an almost equal identity, they have often been in contact with big people, which can make people grow up quickly.
When Mrs. Taishi saw them, she smiled and bent her eyes, and said, "No wonder the magpie is calling this morning, it turns out that you are coming, and you have brought such delicious snacks, I really want the pomegranates in our house to learn from Qiuyue you." ”
Su Xueyun said with a smile: "Madame, haven't you tasted anything delicious?" Where do you care about this little thing, if Madame likes to eat it, I will give the recipe to the pomegranate. The pomegranate is very good, but there are some recipes that I don't know, and when I tell her, the custodian lady can use more food every day. ”
Mrs. Taishi clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm worried that Wenwu is too thin, get him more appetizing and teach him to gain weight." And the master, the master works hard for the country every day, his hair is gray, and he ages so fast, if he can also take care of his body, I won't have to worry about it. ”
Zhu Xiaolian said: "Madame's family relationship is really good, I used to hear the drama that people who become big officials are not very stable in the inner house, but I didn't expect to know that it was not the case after I met Madame." ”
Mrs. Taishi said a little proudly: "Actually, what is said in the drama is right, there are really a lot of troublemakers in those officials' homes, I dare to say that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only the inner house of our Taishi Mansion is the most stable, and the family relationship is the best." Our lord often said that to be a man, you must stand up to the sky, be worthy of the people of the country outside, and be worthy of your wife and children and grandchildren at home, and my lord has done it. In the future, when you are looking for a husband, you must also wipe your eyes and find someone as good as our master. ”
Zhu Xiaolian's figure suddenly appeared in Zhou Wenbin's mind, and she immediately lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "What, how did you talk about this!" ”
Qiu Xiang smiled: "Madame, don't make fun of us, by the way, how is the young master doing these two days?" Did he and my brother-in-law invent something new? ”
The smile on Mrs. Taishi's face deepened a lot, and she got up and said, "He's really forgotten to sleep and eat in the past two days, let's go over and take a look, they have been studying for a long time, and they should be told to rest." ”
Several people led their subordinates to Hua Wenwu's courtyard, and when they passed by a spacious courtyard, Su Xueyun found that Tang Bohu was actually wearing a cloth coat inside, and couldn't help but pause. Mrs. Taishi saw it and said with a smile: "This is choosing a family, I drove away a few families because of Xia Xiang's affairs before, and now I just recruit a few to make up for it, it's not that I am boasting, as a family in our Washington, as long as I do things well, I don't have to worry about anything." ”
Su Xueyun smiled: "Yes, no wonder so many people rushed to apply. ”
She continued to walk forward with Mrs. Taishi, and the smile on her lips was a little cold.
At this time, Tang Bohu in the courtyard happened to turn around, saw Qiu Xiang walking behind, and said to himself: "In the future, everyone will face each other day and night in the same house, I don't believe that I can't handle you!" ”
