"Gollum"

Xiangyun's stomach screamed in protest, when she came back last night, she quarreled with Mo Zili without eating, so angry that she didn't eat last night or this morning, and she planned to go to the restaurant outside to have a big meal after seeing Cai Wei, but the queen just didn't come.

She propped her cheeks with one hand and knocked on the table with the other hand, very depressed!

Mama Xie heard the gurgling sound in Xiangyun's stomach, and said distressedly, "Young lady, are you hungry?" Otherwise, the old slave went out to buy you some food to make up for the mat, and he didn't eat for two meals, even if he was beaten with iron, he couldn't stand it! ”

Xiangyun touched his stomach, nodded and said, "It's okay, go ahead, buy more"

"Hey—"

Mama Xie agreed, hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, and walked out with eager small steps.

Originally, such a thing as buying something could be sent to the subordinates to do it, and she didn't work for a decent grandmother to do it, but Mama Xie was afraid that the subordinates were not careful enough, bought unclean things, and ate the young lady's stomach, and she would be distressed as a nurse.

Walking to the outside of the company, a carriage was parked there, and Cai Wei was getting off the carriage with a yellow and thin young man.

"Oops, Emperor"

When Mama Xie saw Cai Wei, she was about to bow down, when she saw Cai Wei making a look at her, Mama Xie hurriedly stopped her mouth and stepped forward to say a blessing.

Cai Wei said: "Where are you going, Mama?" ”

Mama Xie accompanied her and said, "Our young lady has a bad stomach, and the old slave wants to go out to find something to eat for her!" ”

Cai Wei said: "Mama doesn't need to go, it's almost noon, I'll take your master out to eat." With that, she took Liu Xi into the bank, and Mama Xie turned back behind her.

Situ Changge saw that the owner was coming, and hurriedly came over to greet him, Cai Wei smiled and said: "Situ shopkeeper doesn't have to be polite, where is Mrs. Mo?" ”

"Here!"

Xiangyun heard that Cai Wei was coming, and hurriedly ran out from behind the screen, forgetting to put on a gauze hat again, she glanced at Cai Wei resentfully, and said, "Why did you come, everyone has been waiting for you all morning." ”

Xiangyun's personality is straightforward, and he has always regarded Cai Wei as a close friend, so he is not polite to her because of Cai Wei's noble status. Cai Wei likes Xiangyun very much, if she was like others, because she was the queen, she would be submissive to her and bow her head, and the friendship between them would have come to an end a long time ago!

Cai Wei said: "I'm sorry, when I was about to come out, I was tripped up by a little trivial matter, so I had to get out, so I rushed here." I heard your nurse say that you are hungry, why don't I invite you to dinner, it can be regarded as a credit for sin! ”

Xiangyun was hungry, and when she heard that she was going to be invited out to eat, the resentment in her heart dissipated a lot, she snorted and said, "It's about the same, I must eat more, I have to eat you poor!" ”

Situ Changge, who was on the side, saw her clenching her small fist and looked ambitious, so he interjected with a smile and said, "Madame, don't worry, even if you become a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, you can't eat our host!" ”

Xiangyun glared at her, and said in a vicious tone: "I don't talk to black-mouthed profiteers!" ”

Situ Changge smiled bitterly and held his forehead, and Cai Wei said suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Our shopkeeper Situ is a young talent, how did he become a black-mouthed and vicious profiteer? ”

Xiangyun said angrily: "What kind of young talent, I think it is right to be talented but not virtuous, and he doesn't even have the least sympathy to be a man, it's just bad." ”

As he spoke, he told Cai Wei about the morning, and at the end, he said: "You say, this kind of person who only has silver in his eyes and has no sympathy is worthy of the word 'talent'?" ”

Cai Wei knew Situ Changge's personality and knew that there must be a misunderstanding, so she smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Situ, what do you say?" Don't you argue for yourself? ”

Situ Changge said: "If you go back to the owner, your subordinates will be wronged, if you really save the life and help the wounded, your subordinates will not be so ruthless, but the man is not really going to use ginseng to save people, but to come to us to participate in the deception, the subordinates have already seen through his tricks, but we open the door to do business, we don't want to offend people, for fear of causing trouble to the owner, so I didn't expose him, I just wanted to send him away, I never thought that Mrs. Mo was so straightforward, she had to buy him ginseng, and her subordinates couldn't stop it, so she had to let her!" ”

Xiangyun said angrily: "Sophistry! It's clear that you are stingy with money and don't save you when you die, and you dare to accuse me, you bad guy with a false appearance and a black mouth and a cold heart! ”

Situ Changge was scolded by Xiangyun angrily, shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Mo, that man is dressed as a poor man, but when he takes silver, his palms don't even have calluses, how can he look like a poor man who works?" Besides, although he cried pitifully, his eyes blinked vigorously when he cried, and he must have smeared too much chili water on his sleeve."

Hearing this, Xiangyun carefully recalled the scene just now, eh, it seems that it is really like what the shopkeeper Situ said, the man has been blinking, and his expression is also very painful, as if he wants to squeeze out his eyeballs.

Xiangyun was stunned, could it be that things are really like what the shopkeeper Situ said, that man is a liar? Taking advantage of her compassion to cheat? If that's the case, that's really a lack of morality! He cheated not only the silver, but also Xiangyun's overflowing sympathy and a handful of tears, Xiangyun clenched his fists and said angrily: "If he is really a liar, I, I, I will kill him"

"Poof—"

Seeing Xiangyun clenching her little fist, looking indignant, the whole room laughed, Cai Wei patted her shoulder and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, if you want to beat someone, you have to eat your stomach, you have to have strength, let's go, let's eat!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Situ Changge and said, "Situ shopkeeper is also together, it can be regarded as compensation for your wrongdoing." ”

Situ Changge was just about to excuse himself, but the guard who had been following Cai Wei suddenly said, "That, let's."

Wei suddenly said, "Well, let's go eat kebabs, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”

Cai Wei didn't think about it and said, "Okay! ”

Situ Changge was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the owner to be so good to this little guard, and he couldn't help but look at this little guard.

The guard looked only thirteen, fourteen or fourteen years old, thin and yellow, like a bean sprout, but his eyes were more clever than ordinary people, but he was not necessarily very good, he shook his head, looked around, a pair of eyes were rolling in his sockets, and there was no caution or humility at all.

But it's such an unruly one, the queen mother actually took it with her, and she was very indulgent to him, why is this?

Out of curiosity about this guard, Situ Changge did not refuse Cai Wei's invitation and went out with them.

Outside, Cai Wei got into Xiangyun's carriage, and Mama Xie knew that they had something to say, so she automatically sat on the wheel, and the four nursing homes walked with the car; Situ Changge and Liu Xi sat in the carriage that Cai Wei was in when she came, and the group went straight to the Bafu Restaurant.

After walking for a while, Cai Wei suddenly said: "Xiangyun, how are you doing lately, I heard that Mo Zili's outer room has entered the hall, what are your plans?" ”

At the mention of this, Xiangyun's heart swelled with bitterness, she lowered her head, wrapped her handkerchief, and said: "You also know that born in a family like ours, it is impossible to leave, so I have to let them go!" ”

Looking at Xiangyun's discouraged look, Cai Wei couldn't help but persuade: "You think too negatively like this, haven't you thought about taking this opportunity to make an end here, or defeat that woman and let her withdraw from your life; Either you and Mo Zili make a break, go their own way, and don't have anything to do with it? ”

Hearing this, Xiangyun smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do to defeat her?" She is already pregnant with his child, and she is his favorite, and for her sake he has scolded me with words like 'vicious' and 'jealous', do you think I still need to fight? However, for the sake of my mother's family, I will not reconcile with him, just live like this, if possible, I really want to do business like you, make the business prosperous, earn a lot of silver, and squander as much as you want, it is not in vain to squander this life! ”

Cai Wei nodded and said: "You didn't tie your fate to a man, you have your own ideas, this is good, I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly, I was afraid that you would drill the horns, if you don't let him go, now I will rest assured!" ”

Xiangyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, I still have this pride and self-esteem, don't say that I haven't been tempted by him, even if I have my heart for him, with the fact that he has children with other women, and scolds me like that for other women, I will take my heart back." In the future, I will use all my heart and soul to do business, and maybe I will become your competitor in the future, you should be careful! ”

Cai Wei said generously: "Welcome, welcome, there is competition to make progress, what business do you want to do?" If you need my help, just say,

Xiangyun said: "Among my dowries, there is a Zhuangzi, a shop, as well as five thousand taels of silver and seven or eight thousand taels of head jewelry, I want to sell all of these at a discount, open a bigger shop, like your participation, to open the first one in our capital, but I don't know what kind of shop to open?" ”

Although Xiangyun's father Jian'anhou has a lot of concubines, he is a clean official, and he only lives on a little bit of money and a little property left by his ancestors. It's just that these things add up to only 30,000 or 40,000 taels of silver, and it is still difficult to open a large shop.

Cai Wei thought for a while and said, "If you are willing to cooperate with me, we can open a hot pot restaurant, which is the first one in our capital, and the business will be booming!" ”

"A hot pot restaurant? What is a hot pot restaurant? ”

Xiangyun asked suspiciously, and then said with a smile: "No matter what it is, being able to cooperate with the queen mother is something that the little woman can't ask for, but we have to say it, and we don't regret it!" ”

Cai Wei was amused and promised, "Okay, never go back!" ”

In fact, even if there is no Xiangyun, Cai Wei can open a hot pot restaurant alone, but now that she has more jade produced in Lingxi, plus a large number of beads produced in Lingxi, each of which is an income of tens of thousands of taels at every turn, she is too lazy to open a hot pot restaurant, after all, the catering industry ushers in the send, there are more customers, the good and the bad are uneven, and the trouble is very much, unlike her participation and Treasure Pavilion, only a few pieces are sold every day, and she can make a lot of money!

However, in order to help Xiangyun, she still decided to open a hot pot restaurant, the hot pot restaurant makes money for a certain amount, and with the silver by her side, Xiangyun's future life will be much better!

When she arrived at the Bafu Restaurant, Cai Wei asked several of Xiangyun's nurses and two coachmen to sit downstairs, let them order and eat as much as they wanted, and she went to the second floor with Xiangyun, Mama Xi, Liu Xi and Situ Changge.

The private room on the second floor is separated by a whole large screen, the screen is more than one person high, and it is painted with landscapes, flowers and birds, or carrying poems and songs, which is very elegant; There is no door in the private room, but it is blocked by an excellent cloth curtain with embroidery, which is very convenient to enter and exit, which is the original decoration, Cai Wei in order to save silver, designed in accordance with the style of modern barbecue restaurant, simple and generous, novel and elegant, of course, there are shortcomings, that is, the sound insulation effect is too poor, the next table speaks, this table can listen to it really, like sitting together and talking!

When they arrived on the second floor, Cai Wei took everyone into a private room, and Mama Xie was very dissatisfied when she saw Cai Wei arranging for Xiangyun to sit at a table with a man, but when she saw that the queen mother herself was also there, she had to hold back her unhappiness.

After taking a seat, without waiting for Cai Wei to speak, Liu Xi took the menu and ordered a lot of food and drink: roast rabbit, roast chicken gizzards, grilled fish, grilled vegetables, barbecue skewers, and grilled steamed buns

I asked for two salads and a pot of good wine!

For Liu Xi's transgression, not only Situ Changge was surprised, but even Xiangyun, who had always been very arrogant, also noticed it, she leaned into Cai Wei's ear and asked in a low voice, "Who is this guard?" Why are you so unruly? How can a master not open his mouth, and a slave orders without authorization? Are you pampering him too much? ”

Cai Wei also whispered: "Although this seems inconspicuous, in the future, our hot pot restaurant or branch of the hot pot restaurant will point to him to help run it, a wizard in the business world, you wait and see!" ”

Xiangyun looked at the yellow-skinny young man opposite in surprise, and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see that he had the potential to be a business wizard from anywhere, Xiangyun thought about it, probably because the queen's vision was high, and she could see what she couldn't see as a layman!

was muttering in his heart, there was a sudden noise of footsteps and laughter outside, listening to the footsteps There were about seven or eight people, and the group of people entered the room next to Cai Wei's private room, and they were talking and laughing.

A man with a male duck voice complimented: "The sixth master is really lucky today, he only kowtowed a few heads, and two good ginseng sticks are in hand, this change of hands, it is eighteen taels of silver, tsk, it is really a great blessing!" ”

The man known as the eldest brother said, "Boy, are you so easy to get hold of those two branches of ginseng?" Ye sprinkled half a bowl of chili water on his sleeve, and his eyes are still spicy and crispy, but the little ladies who appreciate the ginseng are really handsome, and the fine skin and white flesh and water are much stronger than the plum in Piaoxiang Courtyard, but unfortunately, she is the lady of the Liguo Mansion, and she is only greedy, and she must not touch her body, hey! ”

Another obscene voice said: "Sixth master, you are a sincere gentleman, since the little lady has let you see your face, maybe she is in love with you, and wants to recruit you to be a guest in the scene, otherwise, how can I reward you with ginseng and let you see her face, you think, give you ginseng, ginseng, body, body."

"Yes, yes, Sixth Master, you go and inquire about that little lady, it is the lady of the Liguo Mansion, if you get it, will our brothers still have no money to call in the future? You can still make a fool of yourself."

On the other side, Xiangyun froze, his eyes widened in disbelief, he couldn't believe his ears, the man who looked honest and honest was really a liar, he had just cheated her money, and in the blink of an eye, he came to insult her and ruin her reputation, how could this person be so bad?

Mama Xie's eyes were red, and she rolled up her sleeves and rushed out.

Although she is only Xiangyun's grandmother, in her heart, Xiangyun is closer than her own daughter, Xiangyun is her grandmother, she also coaxed her to raise her, she is the closest person to her, she is desperate, and she will never allow others to slander her!

Xiangyun saw that Mama Xie ran out with red eyes, and woke up like a dream, picked up the wine jug on the table and was about to rush out, but was quickly pulled by Cai Wei's eyes.

"Xiangyun, leave this matter to me, Changge, you go and see Mama Xi, Liu Xi, you take my name card and go to Yingtianfu, and ask Lord Zhao to send a team to catch him!"

As soon as Situ Changge and Liu Xi went out, there was a scolding and beating sound from Mama Xie next door: "You people, dare to ruin our lady's reputation, I will fight with you, old lady."

Xiangyun's lips trembled with anger, pointed to the next door, and said intermittently: "Cai Wei Cai Wei and them."

"Don't worry, I'll teach them a lesson!"

Cai Wei put on Xiangyun's hat and curtains, pulled her to the outside of the private room, and before she got out of the private room, she heard the sound of fighting, wolf howling and crisp fractures from the ghost next door, Xiangyun suddenly tightened Cai Wei's hand: "Mama Xie, Mama Xie, she is still inside!" ”

"Don't worry, Situ will take care of her!"

Cai Wei took her downstairs quickly, went to the counter, lifted the hat curtain on her head, and said to the shopkeeper: "The restaurant is closed today, and the existing customers will be evacuated immediately, and no other customers will be allowed to come in!" ”

It's going to be dinner soon, and the guests will come up later, there are a lot of people, and if you wear something that damages Xiangyun's reputation, it won't be good, so Cai Wei evacuated the existing customers, and asked several nurses from the Liguo Mansion to escort Xiangyun back to the carriage and wait, and wait for her to finish the matter in a while!

Xiangyun sat back in the carriage, unconsciously angry, painful and aggrieved, silently wiped away tears, I thought it was a poor person who valued love and righteousness, so she bowed a handful of sympathetic tears for him, and scolded the good shopkeeper Situ for him, who knew that he would be such a obscene liar, defrauding her money, deceiving her sympathy, and coming out to ruin her reputation, it is really the world is declining, and people's hearts are getting worse and worse!

was crying, Mama Xie picked up the curtain and came in, hugged Xiangyun as soon as she came in, and cried: "My son, it was really dangerous just now, if it weren't for the queen's mother, I'm afraid your reputation would be over."

Xiangyun wiped his tears and asked, "Where is Cai Wei?" ”

Mama Xie said: "The queen is helping Situ to clean up those few singles!" ”

mentioned cleaning up those few bachelors, Mama Xie's eyes lit up, and said: "I didn't expect the shopkeeper Situ to be so capable, looking at Si Swenwen's person, it was really powerful to fight, several scoundrels were not his opponents together, a strong man like a big black tower, he vomited blood after only one palm, and he couldn't get up again when he crawled on the ground; There is also the queen mother, a thin and small woman, who can beat more than men, a strong man who is more than a head taller than her, she 'clicked' and broke the man's arm at once, it is really amazing, no wonder she will be the queen."

Xiangyun listened, her eyes showed admiration, she sniffed, and said, "I want to be a woman like Caiwei in the future!" ”

Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin arrived soon, Cai Wei handed over a few dead dog-like gangsters to him, and issued an order: "This group of gangsters must be strictly interrogated, and all the bad things they have done before will be investigated, and they will not be tolerated!" ”

Lord Zhao received the order and ordered someone to drag a few gangsters like dead dogs to respond to Tianfu to try the case, Cai Wei ordered the juniors to clean up the tables and chairs, and invited Xiangyun and others back.

After returning to the private room, without waiting for Xiangyun to speak, Mama Xie went down to Cai Wei like a candle, and said with tears in her eyes: "Thanks to Niangniang's righteous action, otherwise our young lady's reputation will be ruined by this bastard Wang Ba Lizi, and the old slave has nothing to repay.

"Poof—"

Liu Xi laughed and said: "Mama, you'd better ask someone to draw a portrait of the queen on the tablet, and then put some yellow and white chrysanthemums on the table every day, which can show the sincerity of your old man!" ”

"Okay, the old slave will do it when he goes back!"

Mama Xie didn't know where Liu Xi was talking about the rules, but when she saw that the queen mother was so indulgent to him, she decided that he must be the queen mother's confidant, so she agreed.

Cai Wei twitched the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly said: "No need, even if it is a tablet, you should also set up a tablet for Situ Shopkeeper, it was he who first reminded you young lady not to be fooled, and then took action to help your young lady get angry, and rescued you!" ”
