Chapter Seventy-Three: Progress

A trace of envy flashed in Biqing's eyes when she heard this, and she promised again and again. Zhuang Minhua glanced at her and said with a smile: "The same is true for the few of you, I will accompany a dowry when you marry in the future." It's just that Qianhong has his father to earn a dowry for her, so don't blame the master for being biased. ”

Bi Qing said: "What is this, as long as you work hard, you are afraid that the master will not give you a reward?" In addition to her by Zhuang Minhua's side, Biqing's family also has their own errands in the house. Just watched Qianhong's father make meritorious contributions, and he also wanted to call his brother over to earn a future for his nephew.

"That's right." Zhuang Minhua nodded.

Not to mention how Biqing calculates and acts in her heart. Zhuang Minhua went to the old lady's room for an afternoon, and had another meal before returning to the room and having a good night's sleep.

On the second day, it was drizzling in the sky again, and just after breakfast, Grandma Cheng Ert came to look for her.

Zhuang Minhua smiled: "Why is the second sister-in-law here?"

Cheng Ert's grandmother smiled and said, "There's something wrong with my sister!"

Zhuang Minhua called the maid to serve tea, and the two sat down.

Grandma Cheng Ert took a sip of tea and pondered, "Sister, do you remember the yellow dress you wore on the Zhuangzi?"

Zhuang Minhua nodded, Grandma Cheng Ert was a little helpless, and Xianggong repeatedly told her to persuade the eighteenth sister. Xianggong is planning for the eighteenth sister like this, and I only hope that the eighteenth sister will be worthy of his intentions in the future. "Xianggong asked me to tell my sister to let you develop a few more of these flower dresses and sell them in the shop."

Zhuang Minhua was stunned, Grandma Cheng Ert came to look for her early in the morning, just for this?

Grandma Cheng Ert said: "What your second brother means is that you are the developer of this kind of skirt, so that the novel and chic skirt will definitely spread in the upper echelons of the capital." Wearing flowers and plants on the body, this is a very elegant thing, just let those shallow eyes see how clever my sister is. ”

"......" Zhuang Minhua was speechless for a while, and said half-loudly: "Is this appropriate?" I don't want to be famous! ”

Grandma Cheng Ert smiled: "Why don't you have a good reputation?" In the future, my sister will always have to get married, so I can't still carry the reputation of reconciliation and divorce! Even if your husband doesn't care, he can't bear to care about his family! Grandma Cheng Ert observed Zhuang Minhua's expression while speaking, and saw that she was thoughtful, and knew that she was not disgusted with marrying in the future. Suddenly secretly relieved.

Zhuang Minhua nodded, "The second brother and sister-in-law have a heart, I know, and I will order it in the next few days." "Now that Meng Jinghan has accepted her. She also had to have a plan, and she couldn't just live comfortably on her own like before.

Seeing that she was willing to listen, Cheng Ert's grandmother felt that Xianggong's good intentions were not in vain, so she laughed for a while and said what her husband said later. "My sister only needs to develop fabric varieties and run the shop, and your second brother will worry about the rest!"

Seeing off Cheng Ert's grandmother, Zhuang Minhua took out a pen and paper and made a plan on rice paper; Write and write, and apply the experience of future generations, and write a marketing plan.

He also sent people to the dyeing workshop, and brought several masters who developed yellow skirts to one of her dowry houses, and asked them to develop whether they could make other flower and grass skirts.

If you want to come back and forth, you can always get a few kinds of it. That's when this marketing plan comes into play.

Zhuang Minhua put this piece of paper in the system package, and it is better to receive this kind of thing in the safest place.

It was afternoon. Zhuang Minhua began to look at the ledger, and she had already made a kind of Inge script book for her subordinates to use, so now the ledger looked clear at a glance.

The shopkeepers in the shop all pasted loyalty charms, basically they couldn't fake it, Zhuang Minhua basically glanced at it.

On the other hand, it is the adopter's expenses, which are not long in time, only expenses, and no returns; But Zhuang Minhua doesn't care about such an idea, just money.

After a busy day, Zhuang Minhua finally finished dealing with the treatment, and Zhuang Minhua stretched. I just felt that my bones were stiff after sitting for a day.

A few days later, Mrs. Fang came to the door with Fang Yuzhen.

Everyone met, Mrs. Fang went to the eldest lady's room, and Fang Yuzhen went to Zhuang Minhua's room. As soon as you enter the door, you complain, "...... It rained so much that I couldn't even get out of the door. It's easy to come out to you, and you go to Zhuangzi to have a good time. My mother detained me at home to learn to be a girl, saying that my sisters are all good girls, if I am compared. Where to put the face. But I just don't love that thing, and I don't have that talent, so I've been suffocating for the past few days! If it weren't for this going out to deliver the post, my mother wouldn't have let me out! "Fang Yuzhen is the only concubine in the family, and the so-called sisters are those concubines.

Zhuang Minhua pulled her to sit down and let her take a sip of tea and take a breath.

Fang Yuzhen was also thirsty this time, so she picked up the tea and sipped it. She was wearing a peach-colored makeup gown, a goose-yellow pleated skirt, and a bun with gold and tourmaline chains.

Zhuang Minhua saw her pouting, disgusted with the female celebrity in every way, and couldn't help but say her "great achievements".

Fang Yuzhen laughed when she heard this, and slammed the table again and again, Zhuang Minhua said angrily: "If you laugh again, I will ignore you."

Fang Yuzhen smiled for a while, and clamored to see the trick.

Zhuang Minhua was helpless, found it out and showed it to her, and then pulled her to the room to see the finished product.

Fang Yuzhen was overjoyed when she saw it, she not only liked the gossip in the market, but also liked to collect these novelties; asked Zhuang Minhua for a pattern, and he also planned to go back and embroider it on his belly pocket.

After talking again, Fang Yuzhen remembered that Zhuang Minhua had two nieces, so she asked.

Coincidentally, the weather has changed rapidly these days, and Zhuang Yiduan has a little cold, so he hid in the room and didn't come out, afraid that he would be sick to everyone. Zhuang Yirui followed Cheng Ert's grandmother and was in the courtyard of the eldest lady.

Fang Yuzhen said: "Your little niece is so round and cute." As he spoke, he proposed to see Zhuang Yiduan. "I see, I'm going to have to see her."

For a while, the two went to Zhuang Yirui's Mingzhexuan, and the children of the Zhuang family will have their own yards every certain age, and Zhuang Minhua also has them; It's just that she lives in the old lady's yard all the year round, and her own yard has always been empty.

Zhuang Yi sat upright on the bed, pinching his nose and drinking medicine. Seeing the two of them coming in, she poured the medicine down, and her eldest maid Xiaoxiu hurriedly stuffed her with a candied fruit. Zhuang Yi swallowed a few times, and was about to get up to salute the two.

Fang Yuzhen hurriedly stopped her, "No need to be polite, and you're not an outsider." If I really toss you like this, it won't be my intention to come to see you. ”

Zhuang Yiduan was a little embarrassed. This is not in line with her upbringing. It was also when she saw Zhuang Minhua nodding at her that she succumbed.

Fang Yuzhen said: "...... I came here this time because my brother was married, and I invited my relatives and friends to watch the ceremony. It was very lively. It just so happened that Sister Hua hadn't come out to socialize for a long time, so take this opportunity to see the sisters down, so as not to be rusty. Doesn't Sister Duan like female celebrities? My family's newly married sister-in-law, but everyone. I heard that her wedding dress was designed by herself, doesn't Sister Duan want to see it? When you get married, do you have a reference? ”

Zhuang Yiduan blushed when he heard the end, but the expectation in his eyes was not less.

Zhuang Minhua doesn't care if he can socialize with those people, but it's also good to go to see ancient weddings.

A few people talked again, and Zhuang Yiduan drove them away, "Auntie, I'm afraid that I'll give you too much illness, so you can take Miss Fang to your room first." Wait for me. and a banquet for you. ”

Zhuang Minhua smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait for Sister Duan'er to have a treat, you have to get well quickly." ”

Fang Yuzhen also stroked his palms and said, "Don't get better soon, I'll wait for your aunt and nephew at home then."

Zhuang Yiduan nodded again and again, and for a while, Zhuang Minhua and the two came out of Mingzhexuan, talking all the way, and a strange maid came in front of them.

Fang Yuzhen recognized it as her mother's maid Liuzhi and asked, "Why are you here?"

Liuzhi saluted them and said with a smile: "Madame came to invite the young lady to come over to meet Mrs. Zhuang."

Fang Yuzhen and Zhuang Minhua glanced at each other. Didn't you just see it? But since her mother has sent someone to invite her, she still has to go.

For a while, Zhuang Minhua took Fang Yuzhen to the eldest lady's room.

At this time, the eldest lady, the second lady, and several young grandmothers in the room were there, and the one sitting next to the eldest lady was Mrs. Fang, who was somewhat similar to Fang Yuzhen.

When we first met. Mrs. Fang stuffed a mutton fat jade bracelet for her, which was very generous.

Mrs. Fang was talking to the eldest lady, and when she saw the two of them coming together, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Zhuang Eighteen looks like this, I really see and love once; Compared to Miss Eighteen, my girl is a dirt girl pulled out of the dirt. ”

Fang Yuzhen was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Is there such a beautiful girl as me?" Talking lively, I greeted everyone.

The second lady has always disliked Zhuang Minhua, but she will not lose the face of the dealer in front of outsiders, but just stared at Zhuang Minhua a few times.

Zhuang Minhua was used to it, and turned around and hugged Zhuang Yirui to speak. Fang Yuzhen also ran over happily.

The eldest lady looked at her with clear eyes, without any resentment from being compared, and there was no problem with Zhuang Minhua. I can't help but feel a little moved by the hint of the other party's wife just now, this young lady has a good family background, she is worthy of the banker's man, and she has a good relationship with the eighteenth, and she will not worry about the relationship between her sister-in-law in the future.

It is said that it should be rationed to the third child, but looking at the second lady's heart-warming appearance, I am afraid that it is also intentional. For her, the third child is of course her own son; Although the fourth child is the son of the second lady, he is also a good child. She doesn't want to be treated badly, so let's take a look! Both of them are good children, and Mrs. Fang will not have an opinion if she thinks about it.

The eldest lady's heart was like lightning, and she didn't promise it verbally, but she was a little affectionate in words.

Mrs. Fang couldn't see it, and she was suddenly overjoyed and more enthusiastic.

The two secretly exchanged glances, and they only needed to investigate for some more time before they could settle down.

Fang Yuzhen didn't know it, sat with Zhuang Minhua, and teased Zhuang Yirui.

Before leaving, he was reluctant to give up, and repeatedly told Zhuang Minhua to come.

Zhuang Minhua promised to send her out of the second door, turned around and went back to the room, and changed her clothes.

It happened that the eldest lady sent someone to call her, and Zhuang Minhua followed.

The eldest lady also stayed on the impression of Fang Yuzhen being lively and generous, and if she wanted to know more, she still had to ask Zhuang Minhua, her best friend.

Although Zhuang Minhua wondered why the eldest lady asked about Fang Yuzhen, she still combined the memories in her mind and her past few dealings, and slowly said it.

The Fang family is also a scholarly family, and Lord Fang is the second grade of the imperial history. Mrs. Fang is enthusiastic and not rude, although there are several concubines in the family, but Mrs. Fang is not harsh, and she does not hide her selfishness in raising concubines. Such a mother can't raise a bad-hearted daughter, coupled with Zhuang Minhua's character of Fang Yuzhen, the eldest lady is a little more satisfied. But you have to ask the second lady about this, after all, the fourth is her son.

……

"Tsk, you're amazing! Before the injury was healed, he dared to brave the rain to hurry. Why didn't you get sick and die? I dropped it in the middle of the night and ran away. Leave me alone on the Zhuangzi. Mei Yan leaned on the chair as if he had no bones, looked at Meng Jinghan who was sitting on the bed and complained.

Meng Jinghan put his arm back and held the book in his hand more steadily. Although his poison was cured, the sword wound was not completely healed. This is still the case with the use of Golden Muscle Cream, otherwise it is more serious.

He rode back to the city in the rain that night, but he still caught a cold, and his wounds were infected, and he had a high fever. Now though the fever has subsided. But Concubine Rong was not at ease, so she had to let him rest in bed for a few days.

As long as he dared to get up, Concubine Rong had tears in her eyes. There is no way, he can only lie in bed and deal with official and private affairs; Just read a book once in a while, just like now. Even if there is a person next to him who is noisy, it does not affect his mind to sink into the book.

"Speaking of which, this time I saw my aunt's complexion much better than before!" Mei Yan said that when she remembered that when she first met Concubine Rong, she always felt that something was different, and she remembered it.

Speaking of Concubine Rong, her complexion is better. Meng Jinghan couldn't help but think of the woman who gave the concubine pills.

Since she confessed that time, he hurt her instead, I haven't seen her for so long, I don't know if the injury on her hand is healed? When I was in the army, I always heard those people say that those of them who were soldiers were born and died outside, and their wives were frightened at home, and they had to bear the burden of the family. I feel sorry for my wife, so I should love my wife more.

So is he going to be nicer to her? I heard that she had returned, should he go and see her?

"In a few days. Fang Dan, the eldest son of Zuodu Yushi Fang Xu, got married, are you going? Meng Jinghan didn't pay attention to him, and Mei Yan was able to carry on the topic.

"No, no." Meng Jinghan finally replied to him.

When Mei Yan saw him answer, she was even more interested. "I have some friendship with Fang Dan, so I'll go over and have a look then."

Meng Jinghan ignored him again, he was used to it, he chattered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why can't you call an imperial doctor for poisoning?"

Meng Jinghan's hand turning the page suddenly paused, and he was silent for a while. "Zi'an, it's better not to know some things than to know."

Mei Yan was also silent, since he was involved in the palace, it was really difficult for him to get involved, after all, he still had to consider the position of the eldest princess's mansion.

……

Zhuang Minhua returned to the courtyard, and Qian Hong and others surrounded her into the house. Zhuang Minhua asked them to dismantle the hairpin ring, change into coupling color homely clothes, and lay their whole bodies easily on the Luohan bed.

Seeing that the eldest aunt inquired about Fang Yuzhen's detailed appearance, didn't she want to add a sister-in-law to her? If Fang Yuzhen is a sister-in-law, it is not bad; She's a good person, and she's funny.

Zhuang Minhua closed his eyes slightly and quietly opened the map; In the dense dots, I found the golden point.

Meng Jinghan was in the Rongjun Mansion at this time, what was he doing? Maybe you're in a room watching and writing and doing business......

Zhuang Minhua thought slowly and fell asleep in a daze.

When I slept until the evening, my bones were crispy. Zhuang Minhua shook his head, he was so lazy. Since she returned to the dealer's house, everyone has indulged her; In the future, she married into the Rongjun Palace, and there was a concubine above, who didn't know her temperament, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to relax.

It seems that she has to inquire about Concubine Rong, Zhuang Minhua leaned lazily on Qian Hong, she had just woken up, and her body was still soft and weak!

When it was time for dinner, Zhuang Minhua had dinner with the old lady; He talked with her for a while, and did not return to the room until she looked tired.

Before going to bed, the maids knew her habits and called hot water for her. After bathing, Biqing helped her dry her hair and served her to rest. Biqing was on duty tonight, and fell asleep on the bed in the outer room.

Zhuang Minhua lay down for a while, maybe she slept too much during the day, and she couldn't sleep. Zhuang Minhua got up again and asked Biqing to light a croissant lamp, and then sent her down to sleep, while she sat on the bed and read.

I don't know how long it took, there was suddenly another person in the house, and Zhuang Minhua was almost scared to scream. When she saw that it was Meng Jinghan, she was so annoyed that she turned her back and didn't look at Meng Jinghan.

Meng Jinghan saw her like this, but when she was annoyed that he didn't come to see her for so many days, he took the initiative to sit down on the brocade stool next to the bed. He asked, "How's the injury on your wrist?"

Zhuang Minhua felt bad when she turned her back, she and Meng Jinghan were not so good, how could they be petty? When Meng Jinghan asked her about the injury on her hand, she turned around and stretched out her wrist to show him, "It's already healed." ”

Under the light, the arm was as white as jade, so delicate that the pores could hardly be seen.

Meng Jinghan gently held that hand in his hand. The slender fingers rubbed lightly over the original injury. I just feel that my skin is like clotted fat, smooth and delicate, and when I think about it again, even my wrist is so easy to touch. What about the body?

As soon as such an idea came out, Meng Jinghan let go of Zhuang Minhua's hand like an electric shock, and the roots of his ears quietly turned red. He rubbed his hands behind his back, as if the slippery touch was still on his fingers.

Zhuang Minhua retracted his hand like a ghost when he saw him. If it weren't for the fact that his favorability had risen by 5 points, he would have thought he hated himself!

"Why are you here?" Zhuang Minhua asked.

Meng Jinghan had calmed down and said casually, "Come and see you."

Zhuang Minhua pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that it was good to come to see her. He asked again: "Has the concubine's poison been cured?"

"Solved." Meng Jinghan thought for a while, and felt that his answer seemed too brief, he took out a string of pearls from his arms and handed it to Zhuang Minhua, "This is a thank you gift." He had inquired with Mei Yan, and women love jewelry.

Zhuang Minhua took it in his hand and looked at it. Immediately covered his mouth. It's actually a Merlot bead, this kind of pearl is so rare that even the royal family doesn't have much of a collection. There are actually 20 of them, orange-red pearls, strung together from large to small, very beautiful.

Meng Jinghan looked at Zhuang Minhua's lovely, and suddenly felt that he had given the right gift, it seems that he can continue to give jewelry in the future!

"Thank you, I like it very much." Zhuang Minhua raised his head, his watery peach blossom eyes were full of starlight. His cheeks were crimson with excitement.

Meng Jinghan saw it, and couldn't help but fade away the coldness, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Zhuang Minhua pounced with a "wow", "You look good when you laugh." Her eyes were shining. It's amazing, brighter than the pearl necklace I just saw.

For some reason, Meng Jinghan was suddenly very happy, and he smiled again. Zhuang Minhua looked at him obsessively and was reluctant to take his eyes off.

Meng Jinghan was proud in his heart, but he was used to the art of war. Knowing what was too much, he immediately smiled.

Zhuang Minhua pestered him like a kitten to make him laugh, and Meng Jinghan turned around to avoid her; When Zhuang Minhua woke up, he found that his whole body was climbing on Meng Jinghan, and Meng Jinghan's strong arms were around her.

Zhuang Minhua was about to scream, she slammed out of Meng Jinghan's arms, and the whole person shrank into the quilt, and she couldn't see anyone.

Halfway, Meng Jinghan chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid of suffocating myself, I'll go first, remember to go to the teahouse to leave a message if you have something."

Zhuang Minhua waited for a while, made sure that there was no sound outside, then lifted a quilt corner to look out, and then slowly poked her head out, making sure that Meng Jinghan was not in the house, she threw herself on the pillow, only to feel that her face was hot.

She is a homebody in modern times, and when she crossed over, she had not yet had a boyfriend. Now that she suddenly has a boyfriend, and she is such an advantageous boyfriend, please let her take a sip of herbal tea to slow down.

Zhuang Minhua suddenly remembered something, opened the system map, and saw the golden dot representing Meng Jinghan leaving the Zhuang Mansion in a flash, returning to the Rongjun Mansion in a flash, and then flashing into her dream.

When he woke up the next day, Zhuang Minhua was still huddled in the quilt and couldn't believe that he had done something like that last night, but what if he was very happy?

Zhuang Minhua got up, dressed up simply, and went to the kitchen with a smile, today she was happy and wanted to eat three silk burritos.

The people in the small kitchen cooperated tacitly, and the dough was ready as early as she commanded.

Zhuang Minhua washed his hands, took the dough that had woken up a long time ago, and kneaded it into long strips; Cut into sections, brush each third side with oil, tired together, then roll it out into a round cake shape, and put it in a steamer to steam for about ten minutes.

Then stir-fry the meat and vegetable side dishes, cut the pork, carrots, lettuce into shreds, add salt, Huadiao wine, starch to the meat shreds, grasp well, marinate for a while; hot oil in the pot, add the meat and stir-fry until it changes color. Add the carrots and stir-fry for a while, then add the lettuce and stir-fry for a while. Add the last three together, add a little abalone juice and salt, and stir-fry well.

When eating, take the cold crust, wrap it with meat and vegetarian dishes, and serve it with a bowl of refreshing white porridge, which is full and not greasy.

I also asked the cooked cook to make a few copies and send them to each room and courtyard to eat fresh.

After doing all this, Zhuang Minhua clapped his hands and went back to the room to change his clothes, ready to go to breakfast. (To be continued.) )
