Chapter VII Tianxiang Building

"Has the ancestor read this list?" Su Xiujin asked.

Su Xiuyuan gritted her teeth and said: "The little Fuzi beside her said that it was for the ancestor to pass the purpose, who doesn't know that the ancestor is not in good shape now, where can the Su family's business still understand!" ”

The red ruben slammed on the stone table, "When the time comes, these two shops will fall on the head of Xiuli, I'm afraid that her dowry won't even be able to fill this hole!" ”

Su Xiujin frowned: "At that time, the fifth sister has just married, and she can't ask for help from her husband's family, once the matter is known to the Wu family, even if they are willing to lend a hand, the fifth sister has lost trust, and I am afraid that the future will be even worse." ”

"What's the benefit of Zhang Shuqin doing this!" Su Xiuyuan clenched her fists: "Xiuli is not doing well in her mother's house, and she is the first person to lose face!" As a mother-in-law, the Wu family's first thought would be that she would treat her concubine harshly. ”

Su Xiujin pondered for a moment, and said for a while: "Zhang Shuqin can't do this. ”

Even if the Su family is defeated again, in front of outsiders, Zhang Shuqin is reluctant, and she will make a face, besides, this is a dowry, it is a time to show the Su family's financial resources, no matter how bold Zhang Shuqin is, she will not dare to do anything on it.

"It's the Ancestor." Su Xiujin picked up the red paper, "Only the old ancestor has this qualification and ability." ”

Su Xiuyuan was puzzled: "Ancestor? ”

Su Xiujin remembered the conversation in the corridor with Mrs. Su yesterday.

She was forcing her, she concluded that something happened to Su Xiuli, and Su Xiujin would never stand idly by.

"She is sure that the two of us must have a way to make this wedding dress for the fifth sister." Su Xiujin said.

Suzhou City is located in the central and southern zone, and then go south on the South China Sea for three hundred miles, the whole Xing'an commodity is transferred here, the traders gather here, the Huai River that runs through Suzhou connects the sea and the Xing'an country at both ends, the boats on the river come and go, there is a wharf every short distance, the goods on the wharf are piled up, the small workers are busy loading and unloading, and they can't stop. On both sides of the Huai River, there are mostly teahouses in the song building, where the merchants stop and rest, listen to the girls in the song house sing a few songs of Jiangnan tunes, or on the riverside side of the tea house, taste a pot of top new tea, and discuss the next itinerary with acquaintances.

There are many taverns in Suzhou, the women in the tavern wear more red and green, the world only says that these two colors are gaudy, but they wear a different taste on the Suzhou woman, the long hair is pinned with a thorn hairpin, after standing with the counter, as soon as the business traveler enters the door, he asks what kind of wine to drink in the soft language of Wu Nong, which is unique to the south of the Yangtze River, and can come to a few dishes. After the side dishes were served, she took the wine from the large wine vat behind her, took Xiao Zhusheng's meticulous wine, and gave an extra glass if it was a rainy day. The people on the border are like the moon, the frost and snow on the wrists, and the business travelers all stay here for a while, indulging in the eyes of Suzhou women and reluctant to leave.

Su Xiujin and Su Xiuyuan put on the veil, got off the carriage and walked to the front of Tianxiang Building. There are also many unmarried women walking with their families on the street, and in Suzhou, where merchants are the majority, the etiquette has been diluted a lot, which is the only place where Su Xiujin breathes a sigh of relief.

"Tianxianglou was originally one of the most profitable restaurants in the Su family, but after it was handed over to the eldest sister three years ago-" Su Xiuyuan frowned, and didn't want to mention this eldest sister: "Tianxianglou's business is getting worse day by day, until I don't do the "hamburger" business later, and I can't save the situation. ”

Su Xiujin also knows this hamburger, Su Changfang's idea is right, the time to make the hamburger is short, there are many vendors in Suzhou, and it is what all the vendors hope for to be able to eat a meal in time without having to wait.

"When this idea first came out, the ancestors also praised it." Su Xiujin said, "It's just that she used the wrong method." ”

Su Xiujin had eaten a hamburger once before, and that was three years ago, when Liang Jinxiu had not yet obtained this body. Su Xiujin couldn't get used to eating the lettuce inside, and she didn't know what the sticky dipping sauce was, she was less than ten years old, so she naturally only tasted one bite and put it aside, but because of this, she was disgusted by Su Changfang. Now Su Xiujin can follow her memory with her eyes closed, and she can remember Su Changfang's beautiful face with a hint of disgust for eating dirty things, and a sentence floating out of the gap between her red lips: "Stupid ancients." ”

She looked down on Su Xiujin and looked down on her concubine, Liang Jinxiu could understand, but it was just that sentence of the ancients, but Liang Jinxiu was puzzled.

"Hamburgers are not to the taste of Suzhou people, and the vendors who come and go are tired of eating naan cakes, so naturally they are not interested in hamburgers." Su Xiuyuan said, "If you want to eat a meal in time, although the Yangchun noodles on the side of the road are not delicious, they can also fill your stomach and make a tooth sacrifice." ”

"The fifth sister got this shop, and after marrying to Kansai, she must have no time to take care of it, so she can only send the shopkeeper to travel back and forth between Kansai and Suzhou, and the fifth sister is newly married, and she must not sell this shop in a short time, and buying a dowry will only make others speculate about the Wu family."

"Therefore, we can't want to throw away this hot potato, for Tianxianglou, we can only have one word - save!" Su Xiuyuan and Su Xiujin looked at each other and smiled: "Jin'er and I thought of it together." ”

The two entered the door, Tianxiang Building is quite large, up and down two floors, the lower hall, there are more than 20 tables, upstairs put more than a dozen tables, the tables are separated by screens, I think it is used to entertain businessmen who negotiate things.

The shopkeeper behind the counter was drowsy with his chin propped up, and Su Xiuyuan frowned and coughed twice.

The shopkeeper woke up and saw two girls standing at the door, with two little girls behind them, although they were wearing silk and linen clothes, the workmanship was fine, and the cuffs were also edged with silver threads.

"Two young ladies inside, please! What kind of food to eat? The little third son is coming to entertain the two nobles! The shopkeeper called the two of them in as he called inside.

After a while, Xiao Er with a cloth skirt ran over, but he hadn't put down the swatter of swatting flies in his hand, Su Xiuyuan looked at the scattered fly remains above, frowned, and covered his nose.

Xiao Er hurriedly took the beat and said earnestly: "What are the two girls eating?" Tianxianglou has everything, whether it is flying in the sky or swimming in the water, you just have to say, only you can't think of it, no chef of Tianxianglou can't do it! ”

Su Xiujin looked around, except for the four of them, only a table in the corner was eating.

Su Xiuyuan said: "Don't talk nonsense, do you know-"

Before the words fell, Su Xiuyuan took her hand, shook her head, and signaled her not to rush to identify herself.

Su Xiuyuan changed his words: "Do you know that our sisters have always only eaten the signature dishes in the store, even if they pick the signature dishes!" ”

Xiao Er smiled happily and said, "Okay! The two girls waited for a while, and the signature dish was served immediately! ”

It's just that this sentence came on immediately, but the two of them couldn't wait for an hour. Su Xiuyuan wanted to attack several times, but Su Xiujin stopped him.

The dishes were all ready, Su Xiujin moved a few chopsticks and put them down.

Su Xiuyuan's eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, and he slapped the chopsticks on the table with a snap: "It's not as good as the food of the maids in our house!" ”
