Qian Manxia was plugging in the door to see the set of rouge gouache and fragrant cakes that Wan Dazhong gave her, these things were much better than those sold in the town, and the beautiful and exquisite packaging was something Qian Manxia had never seen before. Thinking of that handsome black face, her heart overflowed with sweetness. Suddenly, there was a whimpering cry of the three women, and she was so frightened that she hurried out of the hut.

Wu also came out, and they knocked on the door of the left wing and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Did something happen? ”

Qian Yixiu replied while crying, "It's okay, my brother and I haven't seen my mother for a long time, so I'm happy to cry." ”

Wu's mother and daughter couldn't cry or laugh, and muttered back to their house.

Cheng Yueniang finished crying, went out to wash again, and then went back to the house to sleep. Today, Qian Yijin also played Lai Pi and did not return to the East Chamber, and slept in the same bed with them.

Before the little mother fell asleep, she either touched her son's forehead or her daughter's little face, and kept saying, "Mother likes embroidery, likes Jinwa, likes Brother Jiang, mother can't do without you, and you don't want to leave your mother's ...... again."

The voice grew lower and lower, and he gradually fell asleep.

At night, Qian Yixiu had some insomnia again.

guessed from the little mother's words that she should be very eager to get the attention and love of "him", and wanted "him" to look at herself, not at the bead in his hand.

This "he" shouldn't be her mother, because Xiao Niang's dream once said that her mother was dead, and she seemed to have deep feelings for her mother.

Then, this "he" is likely to be her father.

Thinking of this, Qian Yixiu scolded the man she should call her grandfather who she had never met. Is his heart a lump of iron? Is his nearsightedness a thousand degrees? It's too much for such a gentle and optimistic daughter like water to dislike and not cherish it.

The little lady's expression of love is so straightforward and passionate, not only because she is stupid, but also because she was too eager for love. She speaks slowly, but those fleshy words always come out of her mouth, and she speaks very sharply. These words must have been said a thousand times in her heart.

Poor little lady!

Qian Yixiu automatically made up for it, imagining how "he" ignored it, so that the little lady was stupid and went to the countryside......

In the early morning, Qian Yixiu was woken up by a chirping bird, the little brother had already gone outside to practice martial arts, and the little lady was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her daughter with loving eyes. She looked as usual, as if she had forgotten the beaded hairpin.

Of course, Qian Yixiu will not take the initiative to mention those unpleasant things. She turned over and got up, hugged Cheng Yue and kissed her, "Mother's kiss early." ”

Zizhu has come to the little master's house. When he heard that she had arisen up, he came in to serve.

In order to please the little lady, Qian Yixiu put on the newly made apricot-colored dress and light lotus dress, and put on the pair of apricot embroidered rose-embroidered small silk shoes, and also inserted the small whitebait hairpin given by Zhao's shopkeeper into the small bag. Mrs. Song didn't dare to wear a few hairpins sent by Mrs. Song, it was too much to show off her wealth.

After wiping the balsam, Qian Yixiu put his face in front of Cheng Yue and said, "Mother smells it, is the embroidery fragrant?" ”

The little lady was very satisfied, touched her daughter's little face and said, "Well, it's so fragrant, it's so beautiful, my mother's daughter should be like this." ”

After that, Zizhu whispered to Qian Yixiu, "My aunt is so good-looking, just like a fairy in the sky." It also sounds good. ”

She was also told that there was no need to call the master and the old lady in this family, and she should not be called a slave or maid.

Qian Yixiu listened, she was happier than praising herself, and said with a smile, "Of course, there is no one who looks better than my mother." ”

After breakfast, Qian Yijin took the gifts for Mr. Zhang and the sweets for his classmates to go to the private school.

Qian Yixiu gave the embroidery thread, silk silk, and head flowers he bought to Wu's grandmother, little mother, little aunt and Qian Xiaoyu, and they were all very happy.

Qian Sangui also bought more than a dozen feet of cloth and a silver hairpin for Wu, which made Wu even more happy. Qian Sangui sorted out the gifts for the big house, the second room, and some relatives and friends, and Huang Tie drove to the village.

Qian Yixiu didn't go, she made a bag of gifts she gave to Qian Mandie, Qian Yiduo and others, and asked Qian Manxia to help bring them over.

Cheng Yue guarded her daughter and finished distributing the gifts, and then led her to the East Wing workshop with the embroidery thread.

The embroidery frame under the window was covered with a thin silk, and the little lady walked over to uncover it. Even if this side is only embroidered in half, the exquisite picture also amazes Qian Yixiu. The little lady looked at it blankly for a while, and then sat in front of the embroidery frame to divide the money.

Qian Yixiu knew that she didn't want to leave the little lady half a step today, and consciously sat next to the little lady and started a relationship. Now her fingers are not very sensitive, and she doesn't want to use the needle. She doesn't want to be like Duoduo Xiaobian, piercing the needle eye full of fingers.

The little lady bowed her head to do the work in her hands, and then raised her head to look at her daughter quietly for a while. Qian Yixiu will raise her head and give the little lady a bright smile. When the little lady saw it herself, she pursed her lips and smiled, and then lowered her head to work again.

Even if Duoduo Little Lori came to find money and embroidered to play, she could only take Duoduo to sit in the shade of the tree that the little lady could see at any time. Seeing that the little lady was looking at her from the small window, she smiled and beckoned.

Qian Yixiu felt that the two of them were more like little mothers who were coquettish to her.

On the third day, the little lady seemed to confirm that her daughter would not leave her, and Qian Yixiu had the opportunity to go out to see the scenery. She led Zizhu around her yard, and then went to the Qian family's compound to find Qian Manduo to play for a while.

At night, the family was talking in the shade of the yard when they suddenly saw Jumping and Jumping running to the middle of the yard and raising their heads and howling.

Everyone was not afraid of its action, and knew that it should be its father, the white wolf, who had come to the house.

Su Siwu had never seen this scene, his legs trembled with fright, and he said in a trembling voice, "Third Uncle Qian, hide quickly, the wolf is coming." ”

Qian Sangui waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid of the four martial arts, Jumping is the son of the mountain and the wolf, and the white wolf often comes to our house." ”

As soon as Zizhu heard that the white wolf was coming to the house, she was frightened and cried.

As soon as everyone smiled and comforted her, they heard the sound of the door being slammed, and the cries of Brother Monkey and Benben. Qian Yijin ran to open the door, Brother Monkey ran in first, and then, Dashan dragged a deer and a sheep into the door, and finally the white wolf who entered the door dragged a black bear that was not very big.

Everyone was so shocked that they got up and looked around these wild creatures, which were worth a lot of money.

Qian Yixiu smiled and said to the white wolf, "The white wolf looked at your daughter-in-law's son's silver collar, so he came to give a gift, right?" ”

The white wolf ran and jumped into the sky and howled a few times, as if to say, "That's what it means."

How many silver collars do you have to buy for so many things? Qian Yixiu smiled and said, "In the future, I will put a silver collar on them and wear them instead." You have a twisted neck on it, next time you hit one with a wolf's head. ”

The animal house listened, and its eyes sparkled with yearning again.

And when they saw it, they rejoiced.

Brother Monkey came over and pulled Qian Yixiu, pointed at the black bear, and patted his chest, meaning that he also had his own credit for killing it.

Qian Yixiu smiled, "I know, my monkey brother is the most capable." ”

When Brother Monkey heard this, he jumped up and down and became happy.

Huang Tie led Qian Xiaofeng and Su Siwu to drag the wild things to the lake in the big courtyard, where the wind was open and the wild things were not easy to spoil.

The next morning, Qian Sangui was going to the county. Qian Hua asked someone to bring a letter yesterday to say that he had already taken a good look at a few shops and a few houses, and asked the master to see which one was suitable to buy. I just pulled these wild things together and sold them in the county.

When the ox cart passed by the village, the villagers were envious when they heard Qian Xiaofeng, who was driving the car, say what happened. There are so many wild things, they can be sold for dozens of taels of silver.

In the evening, Qian Xiaofeng came back and said that Qian Sangui was busy during this time, so he would not go back to the village every day, and temporarily stayed at Aunt Li's house for a few days.

After shopping around, Qian Sangui made a decision, and bought a shop and a house.

The shop is the office of the splendid line, with a two-storey building in front and a small courtyard in the back, with wings, kitchens, thatched houses, and wells in the small courtyard. The location is on Tong'an Lower Street, next to Tong'an Street. The port is good, the building is new, and it cost five hundred and twenty taels of silver.

The house is a small quadrangle, as soon as you enter the courtyard, there are four upper rooms, three east and west wings, and there is also a well in the courtyard. On North Street, not far from Qian Xiang's house, it cost one hundred and ten taels of silver.

The two courtyards were bought, plus the renovation of the splendid shop and the purchase of furniture, and a total of 700 taels of silver were shared.

The Cai and Su families have been living in the county seat, and they are responsible for cleaning up after buying a shop and a house.

Splendid line while decorating, while recruiting troops, business work is also effectively promoted. The second business was negotiated, that is, with 100 taels of silver, the small workshop that made zuò lotus balsam was successfully acquired, and the small workshop was under the control of Jinxiu as a wholly-owned subsidiary, and the original team was still used.

Give the craftsman who made the Qinglian balm, Master Jin, a high salary, and let him continue to research better cosmetics. Master Jin used to be an apprentice in Xianglu Zhai, and he was an honest man, and he didn't like to be in charge, so he was squeezed out. After returning to his hometown, he was accepted by a small workshop and used the most primitive equipment to make high-quality Qinglian balm.

The small workshop is named "Lotus Flower" Xiangfang, and the makeup brand produced is also "Lotus Cardamom". The workshop is positioned to produce mid-to-high-end products, and other inferior products are stopped. At present, only Qinglian balm is produced, and the raw materials are still taken from the deep mountains, and sold at a high price after packaging.

Just wait for the next year, the golden lotus is planted and grows a golden lotus, and then this golden lotus is used as a raw material to make more top-notch cosmetics. The nasturtium is much more gorgeous than the lotus flowers on the market, and the color is also orange. It's just that the ghost doesn't have a sense of smell, and Qian Yixiu doesn't know what the fragrance of the golden lotus is.

At the same time, the technical transformation of the "Lotus Cardamom" incense workshop was launched, the production equipment was purchased, the production site was expanded, and the production environment was improved. These are all money-burners, and Qian Sangui is very courageous, and he will spend what he should spend.

The third business is to cooperate with the dart board for some business, which has just begun to negotiate.

The business field of Splendid Bank is wide, the main business is tea, lotus root, cosmetics, and the side business is a money-making business.

Qian Sangui is the chairman, Qian Hua is the general manager, Cai He is the account room, and Qian Yixiu said that he was an auditor, but in fact he served as the creative director. After the board meeting, Qian Hua was responsible for the full implementation.

Qian Hua is really a talent, he can fully comprehend the spirit of his master, and implement it excellently. Qian Yixiu had some ideas that were not easy to put forward too clearly, so he said that half of them would be left behind, and then he pretended to be "ignorant" and asked Qian Hua to solve his doubts, and the meaning he wanted to express was conveyed.

Qian Hua has always known that the little master is precocious, and after a deeper understanding, he was surprised to find that the little master is not only precocious, but his ideas are quite bizarre, but they are absolutely practical.

In order to commend Qian Hua and make him more enthusiastic about his work, he gave him a salary increase, and transferred Wei and Qian Xiaofeng to the county seat. Qian Xiaolei went to school in a private school as Qian Yijin's scholar and officially entered the east wing of the small courtyard. Qian Xiaoyu also became Cheng Yue's eldest girl and embroidery assistant, and she also made a marriage with Huang Tie, just waiting for her to get married.

Because he was very busy during this time, Qian Sangui lived in the county seat most of the time. And because the little lady can't do without Qian Yixiu, Qian Yixiu occasionally went to the county seat and had to rush home.

On the tenth day of the first month of August, Qian Sangui came back from the county seat with a spring breeze on his face, and also brought two officials from the county government, who came here to divide the land. After Wang Lizheng heard about it, he hurriedly ran over to accompany the official to be busy.

The east is 50 meters east from the east courtyard wall of her yard, north to the north of Huaxi Village, 20 meters south to the foot of Shixi Mountain, and extends to the west, except for her family's original more than ten acres of land, and 100 acres of land are demarcated.

On the opposite side of this land, next to the Honghe River, he bought fifty acres of land. There is a road that stretches from east to west.

This piece of land was explored in advance by Huang Hua and others, and the more west you go, the worse the wasteland becomes, and some places are dug down more than a meter deep, and it is still sandy and gravel. It is not very useful to buy such land.

After the land was demarcated, Huang Tie accompanied the official back to the county government to handle the deed. Who is the name on the deed, Wang Lizheng has never seen it.

Qian Sangui's statement is that his family bought lotus root together with other people's families, and most of the money belongs to other people's families, and their family has less money, so they have to make efforts.

The shop of Splendid Line did not dare to say that it was bought, but only said that it was rented. The money to open the Splendid Store and the money to buy a house and subordinates, and it is said that he did a business with Wuxi Tea Store and made some money.

This is the bitterness of making a windfall, and you dare not let others know about it. It can't be said that selling pearls, tea, and ginseng made a lot of money.

Only when Jinxiu makes a lot of money can he dare to use the money that made a windfall in a bright way. Money is also embroidered in the dark, and the splendid store is not only a place for her family to earn money, but also a place for her family to launder/make money.

After the matter was done, Qian Sangui invited Qian Laotou and his wife, Qian Dagui and his son, Qian Ergui and his son, and Wan Dazhong and his son to come to the house for dinner and drinking.

Qian Sangui also hinted to them that this wasteland was extremely cheap, because it was "barren", it was only sold for one or five taels of silver per mu, and other wasteland sold for at least two taels of silver per mu.

His family has already explored, this land is not as barren as it seems, dig ponds to build mountains, turn over the good land, ponds can raise fish and lotus roots, mountains can grow fruit trees.

Old man Qian also felt that he should mobilize his two sons to buy more wasteland. (To be continued.) )
