Chapter 52: The Pearl of the Night
"Hey, girl......"
What else is going to say about chasing the wind, Cai Wei has gone without looking back.
"Master, subordinate ......"
He turned to the carriage, but, before he could finish speaking, the carriage also went away, leaving him alone, standing pitifully in the long street......
……
Since Bafu Restaurant opened today earlier than yesterday, and the meat skewers were sufficient and not sold out, when it came to the evening checkout, the account room gave everyone another surprise.
"Two owners, our Bafu Restaurant's profit today is twenty-one taels and three dollars!"
"Wow-that's great-"
There was a cheer in the store, a few guys and chefs, bookkeepers, miscellaneous workers, and even a few domestic slaves of the Mu family, all of them were excited, because the eldest lady said that in the future, everyone's salary will be linked to the income in the restaurant, and the higher the efficiency of the restaurant, the more everyone will earn, so even if they are tired, everyone doesn't feel it at all, but hopes that the business of the restaurant can be more prosperous, and it is best to make money every day!
After settling the accounts, Cai Wei instructed Sister-in-law Liu to cook a pot of dumplings in the kitchen and make supper for everyone, while she went back to the back house first.
With so many things happening today, my mother's heart must be unhappy, and she has to go back to appease her.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother sitting under the lamp, listlessly sewing a half-finished horse-faced skirt, and Cai Fei carefully accompanied her.
Seeing that Cai Wei was back, Cai Fei hurriedly said: "The eldest sister came back just in time, come and persuade my mother, my mother's heart is narrow, just because of the few shadowless gossip in the big house, I have been aggrieved for an afternoon, and I can't persuade her!" ”
Du Shi said with red eyes: "I don't care about my reputation, I'm afraid that my father will be ridiculed outside, and you, who are also one year older and two years younger, have reached the age of talking about your mother-in-law's family, if these shadowless things are affected, my mother's sin will be great." As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.
Cai Wei smiled: "Look at what my mother said, as the saying goes: it can't be fake, it can't be fake, those things that don't exist, even if they make up for it, they can't be convincing, why does the mother have to drill this horn?" ”
Du Shi touched his tears and said: "I also understand these truths, but I am panicked in my heart; There is another thing, if your father knows that the matter of Dafang's family going to prison is related to us, will it have a gap with us? ”
Cai Wei sat down, held her mother's hand, and said calmly: "Dafang has forced us to a dead end, if we don't fight back, we can only sit and wait." Dad is a reasonable person, if he knows these things that Dafang has done, he will not blame us, if he really blames us for this, he is also a fool, unworthy of being a father and a husband, and we don't have to care about his feelings! ”
Du Shi didn't expect his daughter to say such a thing, and he was stunned for a while, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that his daughter's words were indeed reasonable, so he slowly put his mind at ease.
Cai Wei said: "Mother doesn't have to worry about me and Fei'er's family affairs, although we have lived in this town for a long time, but we may not settle down here, maybe soon, our business will become bigger, and we will be able to move to the picturesque Jiangnan!" ”
When Du Shi heard this, he turned his worries into joy, and said angrily: "You, you are used to coaxing your mother to be happy!" ”
Cai Wei said: "How can it be said to be coaxing, in the past two days, our family's income mother has also seen it, only in this remote town, our meat skewers can have such a big income, if we open a store in Jiangnan or those big places in Beijing, we will not make crazy money!" ”
"Yes, mother, what the eldest sister said is very reasonable!" Zefei chimed in.
Du Shi thought about it, and felt that Cai Wei's words were indeed somewhat feasible, if he moved his family to the capital or Jiangnan and other places, not only could he completely break away from the big house, but his own kebabs could also be sold very hot, and the money was rolling......
She fell into a reverie......
Cai Wei saw that her mother was no longer distressed, so she said that she was tired and wanted to sleep first, so she returned to her room.
She had already promised Bai Mei and Brother Parrot that she would give them a kebab to eat today, and these foodies must have been waiting for them all day, so she had to go to the space as soon as possible to fulfill her promise.
Entering her room, she closed the door, lifted the curtain, and prepared to enter the space from the bed.
However, the moment she lifted the curtain, she saw a beautifully made brocade box lying quietly on her bed, and that box was the one she saw in the hands of the square-faced little picker!
Ahhh
Cai Wei was crazy, this square face, when her family was there, sneaked into her boudoir, fortunately her obscene clothes and pants were not lost on the bed, otherwise, her face would have been lost, but, even so, the boudoir got into the man, it was still enough to meet the people!
She picked up the box angrily and flashed into the space, at this moment, she wanted to see what it was, worthy of being given to her.
In the space, the beasts didn't know where to play, she walked into the small courtyard, sat on the swing under the banyan tree, swinging while opening the box.
"Buy cakes!"
The box opened, and the contents made her take a hard startle!
In the gorgeous brocade box, a bright crystal bead, embedded in the red flannel, faintly glowing with a soft light, the bead is the size of a pigeon's egg, pale green, round and transparent, in the hand of the light heavy, cold and cold, like, like, the legendary ...... Pearl of the Night!
In order to verify her inference, she shouted: "Out! ”
In an instant, the man was back in his room.
There was no light in her boudoir, but the moment she came out, the room lit up as if it were day, and the light source was the bead in her hand!
Wow!
Sure enough, it's the pearl of the night! That demon, what a big stroke!
Cai Wei gasped, picked up the bead, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, the more she looked, the more she felt that this bead was priceless, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this bead could not be kept.
Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, the demon has already doubted her identity, and it is easy to draw a clear line with him, if he accepts such a valuable gift from him again, I am afraid that he will be involved again, no, I can't accept it, I must not accept it, I must return it!
