Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dreams
A few more days passed, and by the time June came, the weather was already extremely hot, and there were far fewer people on the bustling streets.
The shopkeeper of Caifeng Pavilion went to Duan's Shou'an Hall a few times, and it is said that the style of Caifeng Pavilion was very much liked by Duan's, and he set several sets of clothes in one go.
Linglong smiled at this, nodded and let the account office pay the silver. Since even Old Man Li agreed to something, she just took this opportunity to withdraw her property.
It's good to settle accounts with brothers.
Mother Tong was in a hurry for this matter, but she was also appeased by Linglong's words, "Could it be that my shops are really relying on the Li family for relief?" Only earn the money of the Li family? ”
Over the years, her shops have advanced money to the Li family, and almost all things are given according to the purchase price, not to mention making money, as long as you don't lose money, it's a good thing.
"But if the outside knows like this, the slave is afraid that the reputation of the shop will be bad." Mother Tong said worriedly.
"Fame and reputation are earned back by strength, and they can't be given by one or two people." Linglong is very firm on this matter, and this is her chance.
Seeing this, Tong's mother could only nod her head and say yes.
It's just that what Linglong didn't expect was that the third room, who had never been in contact with each other, came to the door because of this incident, "Second sister-in-law, I heard that the second aunt is unwilling to use your shop?" ”
"Where did the fifth brother and sister start?" Linglong raised her eyebrows, smiled and asked Liu to sit down and taste tea, "This time, my mother didn't like the style of Caiyi Pavilion, so I just found another home." ”
"I'm just curious." Liu lowered his head and drank tea, but his eyes looked around, and then looked at Linglong who was sitting opposite, "I heard that there are also shares of the second aunt in that Caifeng Pavilion." ”
That's why she doesn't use Caiyi Pavilion's clothes, but uses Caifeng Pavilion's, and she also wants Caifeng Pavilion to make the price of clothes higher than other homes.
The reason why I used Caiyi Pavilion in the past was because it was a Linglong shop, and the price was very low, and Duan's could just put the difference in his pocket.
Now that Linglong is in charge, this benefit is gone, so she naturally wants to make Linglong spit out some more money.
Linglong nodded but still didn't speak, just smiled and drank tea, "Brother and sister try this pastry, if you can, I'll let someone send some to the third aunt." ”
Liu smiled wryly, picked up the dim sum that Linglong pushed in front of him and tasted it, "Well, it's delicious." If you open a dim sum shop, you will definitely make money. ”
"It's delicious," Linglong continued toward Cuizhi, "go and ask the kitchen to pack some for the eldest aunt and the third aunt to send some over to taste." ”
Cuizhi smiled and blessed her body, and then retreated, and met Mother Tong again at the door.
"Young grandma, Zhuangzi sent the peaches that were just picked this year." Mother Tong said with a smile, "The steward is still waiting outside to greet you." ”
"Since my sister-in-law is so busy, then I'll go first." Seeing this, Liu stood up, "Come back to my sister-in-law another day to disturb me." You often go to our side to sit, and my mother often thinks about you. ”
"Yes, Aunt Lao is worried." Linglong smiled and nodded, "I'll have someone send the peach over in a moment." ”
"Is there something wrong with these five young grandmothers coming today?" Looking at Liu's departing back, Tong's mother asked.
"I guess something happened and I urgently need silver." Linglong turned around and walked in, "I've been knocking on the side of the shop and trying to inquire about things in the shop." ”
"Then the young grandmother, you didn't promise her anything, did you?" Mother Tong asked hurriedly.
"You came in before she said anything, what can I promise?" Linglong shrugged her shoulders and said, "But you came just in time. ”
After she finished speaking, she took Tong's mother's arm, "Maybe she will say something again in a while, if she comes in the future, you will find something to do." ”
"By the way, let someone inquire and see what happened to the third room, and remember to send a copy to the Lin Mansion as well." She commanded as she walked.
This time, Steward Liao on Zhuangzi took the opportunity to send peaches to report the things in Zhuangzi to Linglong these days, "There has been no one in Zhuangzi next door, and I don't know who the master's family is." But another Zhuangzi not far from us heard that the master was going to sell it. ”
Because although it is not far away, it is also a little far away, so Steward Liao wants to come to ask Linglong for advice before making a decision, and the owner also hopes that the person who bought the Zhuangzi can also take over the person who is now a Zhuangzi.
It is precisely because of this condition that some people are discouraged.
"You go to the Zhuangzi to inspect it first, and if you can put forward such conditions, presumably this master family is not bad," Linglong thought for a while and said, "If there is no problem, you can buy it, and the procedures must be complete." ”
After Linglong gave an order, he asked about the trees on the mountain and the situation of the apprentices, and Steward Liao carefully replied to Linglong.
After talking like this, it was already dusk, and the person who kept Steward Liao and the person who delivered the peaches this time stayed in the Li Mansion for one night.
When Sister Mei came back in the evening, she told her that Lin Yue liked those peaches very much. Linglong smiled and kept these words in her heart, and after waiting for a few days, she asked someone to send some to the Lin Mansion.
The day passed so plainly and busy, but at night, I don't know what happened, and Linglong didn't sleep very peacefully this night.
In her dreams, she could always dream of a vague figure, covered in blood, and she wanted to go up and see it clearly, but the tighter she chased, the faster the figure disappeared.
In the end, Linglong woke up crying.
Linglong didn't feel sleepy at all when she woke up, lying on the bed looking at the top of the bed in a daze, her mind kept recalling the dream just now, but she suddenly heard Sister Mei'er's exclamation.
Linglong jumped out of bed, forgot to put on her shoes and ran out, and in the east wing, Qiqiao was also hugging Sister Mei tightly.
Seeing Linglong come in, Sister Mei immediately threw herself into her arms and cried loudly.
Linglong's brows were tightly wrinkled together, and she hugged Sister Mei tightly, Sister Mei must have had a nightmare like this.
Linglong doesn't know what this dream portends?
There was always a bad premonition in my heart, and this premonition lasted until the end of this summer.
Almost every once in a while, Linglong would have a dream like this.
In the dream, it was a vaguely man's figure.
Covered in blood, the bloody stinging delicate eyes hurt.
But fortunately, Sister Mei never suffered a nightmare after that.
Seeing that Linglong had just raised a little meat and now lost weight again, Mother Tong was very anxious, "Young grandma, why don't you go to the temple another day to ask for a lottery and pray for blessings." ”
