179 Tea Xiangju Turmoil 3
In the past few days, Qing'er has been feeling that there is something wrong with Chaxiangju, and as for what, she can't say clearly.
Suddenly thought of something, by the way, the heart whispering girl will be in the lotus pond in the backyard of the tea fragrance house every afternoon, since Qing'er entered the tea fragrance house, there is no exception.
I don't know why, I haven't seen the girl in the past few days.
What's wrong with her lately.
With doubts, Qing'er wanted to go to the lotus pond again to find out.
Looking for the way, I saw a girl standing by the lotus pond with her back to her.
Looking at the figure, she is not a girl who whispers in her heart.
She was?
Yes, she is a warbler girl.
How did Ying'er come to this lotus pond?
The closer Qing'er got, the more she realized that something was wrong.
Miss Ying'er's hands seem to be wiping something on her cheeks?
What's wrong with her?
Is she crying?
When I got closer to the side, I saw that Ying'er's cheeks were crimson and her eyes were red and swollen.
"Ying'er, why are you crying? Why are you crying here? Who bullied you? β
Seeing Qing'er's arrival, Ying'er quickly turned around and turned her back to her.
"Sister Qing'er, why are you here?"
Qing'er's face was full of confusion.
"I saw you from afar, and I came. Sue sister, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Why is a person secretly crying here? β
"Sister Qing'er, Ying'er didn't cry...... There is no ......"
Ying'er said, quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around, and cast a reluctant smile.
In Qing'er's opinion, this smile is very reluctant.
Perhaps, Ying'er didn't want to let herself know something, so she would be so disguised.
The more she was like this, the more worried Qing'er became.
Qing'er stepped forward, gently held Ying'er's hands, held her hand in the palm of her hand, and asked with concern.
"Ying'er, is it okay to sue Sister SΓΉ? Are you hiding something from me? Why don't you let me know? These days, I have long found out that something is wrong with Chaxiangju, is it related to Chaxiangju? β
Suddenly, Ying'er burst into tears.
Qing'er's worry became more and more intense.
Oh, yes!
She had long expected that something was wrong with Chaxiangju.
"Ying'er, you can say it. Sue Sister sΓΉ all of them. β
"Sister Qing'er, Liuniang specially asked me to let you know."
Ying'er wants to talk about it.
"I can't say that! You know that Liu Niang usually loves face the most! I can't say yes......"
Qing'er was already in a hurry.
"Ying'er, Chaxiangju is my home. If there are any difficulties, we will bear them together. You and I are sisters, and you and I have nothing to worry about. If you do this again, you and I will no longer be sisters! You and my sister are the best, and you know my temperament the most. β
After speaking, Qing'er transformed and wanted to leave.
"Sister Qing'er, I said."
Ying'er hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of Qing'er.
"Chaxiangju can't hold on! The sisters may be scattered! Sister Xinyu is gone...... There is also Purple Stamen, Liu Yuan...... Xia He, they're all ready to leave......"
At this time, the warbler choked up and couldn't speak.
Qing'er only felt dizzy and swaying.
I never thought that Chaxiangju would be today's situation.
The once century-old tea house, the glorious time when the guests were full of guests, is not only long gone, but now it is even more difficult to face the sadness of the sisters scattering, does it have to be like this?
Is there really no power to return to heaven?
No, you have to find a way!
"Ying'er, how long has Xinyu been gone?"
"It's been three days! Chaxiangju couldn't hold on for a long time. Each sister can only receive five cents per month. However, Sister Qing'er, as you know, Sister Xinyu's family also has an old mother with an old illness, and the cost of medicine for each moonlight will cost more than 20 yuan, and Sister Xinyu can't hold on anymore, so she will ...... Sister Xinyu was also reluctant to leave, but Liuniang really couldn't bear it, but she couldn't do anything, so she could only persuade Sister Xinyu to find a better way. β
As she spoke, Ying'er began to cry.
"I was also sad in my heart, so I ran to this lotus pond to cry. I really miss Sister Xinyu, and I can't bear to let my sisters disperse like this......"
"Ying'er, in the past two years, I've suffered Liuniang, I've suffered you!"
Qing'er's eyes are red.
"When did you start to become like this?"
The warbler sobbed.
"In the past three years since my sister left, the business of Chaxiangju in the first year was still very good. But...... But...... In the second year, there was a silk music workshop opposite, and a Yale workshop was opened in front...... Then, their business got better and better, almost monopolizing the business on the street! Liuniang didn't dare to grab business with them, so she could only ......"
Qing'er sighed: "I know these two music shops. The person behind the Silk Music Workshop is Lu Guogong, and the behind-the-scenes owner of the Yale Workshop is Pingyuan Hou. Ordinary businessmen like us, who have no royal nepotism and no support from high-ranking officials and nobles behind the scenes, how can they compete with them, and how dare they compete with them. It is inevitable that he will fall into such a situation now, no matter how hard Liuniang tries, it will be useless after all! There may be other homes that are facing bankruptcy like our tea fragrance house! β
"Yes! Oh, yes! β
Ying'er kept nodding.
"The dance club diagonally across the street closed last year! There is also the silk rhyme workshop in front, which used to be on par with our tea fragrance, but now the situation is not as good as ours. And also...... There are several in front of it. β
"In the past two years, it must have been difficult for Liuniang! I really don't know how she survived. β
Qing'er had already burst into tears.
Imagine the three years she hadn't been involved in.
She thought that Liu Niang must have felt ashamed of her ancestors, and she often couldn't sleep all night, and she would often cry alone.
Despite her strong appearance, she is a woman after all.
Even if a strong woman bears so much alone and silently, it will definitely be difficult.
Now, she has to bear the loss of what she once was.
"Liuniang has already done what she has to do, even if she really loses it, it's not her fault......"
Ying'er cried even harder.
"Sister Qing'er, you don't know. Although Liuniang is the shopkeeper, she will always be the earliest one among the sisters and the one who sleeps the latest. Sometimes you can only sleep for two or three hours a day. Whenever I see Liuniang, I feel sad. And, I don't know why, every morning when I see Liuniang, her eye circles are red and swollen, I think Liuniang must be like this because she hasn't rested well! She's too tired! β
"Perhaps, she was crying!"
Qing'er sighed sadly.
"Crying?"
Ying'er asked in surprise, with two lines of tears on her cheeks.
"Sister Qing'er, do you mean, Liuniang will cry too? Does Liuniang really cry? β
"How is that possible? I didn't mean to say nonsense. β
Qing'er changed the topic in an instant.
Everyone knows that Liuniang loves face the most.
How could she tell Liuniang's secret.
"Ying'er, in the past two years, you and the sisters have worked hard!"
Qing'er held Ying'er's hand tightly.
Ying'er sighed: "If you talk about hard work, the hardest one should be Sister Yujuan." β
"Yujuan?"
Qing'er should have thought of it a long time ago.
Just a moment of negligence and forgot.
