After the men of the Sheng family left, only women and children were left in the family again. As soon as the old lady Wu returned to Nanyuan, she put Sheng Xueyan aside and lay on the bed sulking. Sheng Xueyan didn't dare to disturb more, so she took the girl to practice calligraphy outside.

The eldest lady returned to the East Garden with Sheng Poria. Sheng Lingling asked suspiciously: "Mother, why did my grandfather read my piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, but didn't talk much?" ”

The eldest lady sat on the warm couch, and the grandmother was pinching the eldest lady's shoulders on the side, and after a long time, I heard the eldest lady say faintly: "Your grandfather didn't say anything to Sheng Mixiang." As soon as Sheng Poria raised her head, the doubt in her eyes deepened again. The eldest lady opened her eyes and looked at her daughter, and said, "You and Sheng Mixiang are now half a catty and eight taels." ”

"Mother, do you know when the general election will be?" Sheng Ling wanted to know how long she could prepare, but the eldest lady shook her head and said, "I still don't know about this. All in all, you just need to be well prepared. Sheng Poria nodded, this time she must win Sheng Mixiang without distraction.

At this moment, in the third room, the third lady arrived at the boudoir of Sheng Mixiang, and Sheng Mixiang was seriously practicing hairpin Xiaokai at the moment. The old gentleman in the ethnology actually said that his hairpin Xiaokai is not as good as Sheng Xuejian's writing, so where can Sheng Mixiang tolerate it? So I connected even more desperately.

When the third lady saw that her daughter was writing, she stepped forward and took away the brush in Sheng Mixiang's hand, which caused Sheng Mixiang to immediately frown and ask angrily, "Mother, what are you doing?" My daughter is practicing calligraphy! ”

The third lady was anxious: "Practicing calligraphy? You know how to practice words, do you know that the old lady's favorite person is no longer you! After the third lady finished speaking, Sheng Mixiang's expression immediately dimmed.

Because Sheng Mixiang used to be a celebrity in front of the old lady, but since the incident of Changping Bofu, the old lady has been very disgusted with herself, let alone liking it. Sheng Mixiang was silent. The third lady didn't want to see her daughter silent, so she patted the table and said: "Mother also knows that the only chance now is the general election, you must be in the eyes of your grandfather, Mother believes that with our dense fragrance, enter the harem, then there is absolutely no problem!" ”

Sheng Mixiang looked at her mother and had a headache, the third lady was actually a brainless person. I don't know who Sheng Mixiang's cleverness looks like. She took back the brush from the third lady's hand, and couldn't help but persuade: "My daughter knows, my daughter is practicing piano, chess, poetry and painting now, and my mother should not disturb her daughter practicing calligraphy, okay?" ”

"I'm not ......" The third lady was driven out by her daughter, and her face was a little red: "Aren't I unhappy in my heart!" "Since the third master is gone, this Sheng family has been a drama of a group of women. The third lady only felt bored. And Sheng Mixiang no longer has the time to deal with her bored mother.

She knew that Sheng Poria was riveting her strength, and she must surpass herself. Of course, she couldn't give Sheng Poria this chance. Time flies, and there are not many days left this winter.

The business of the Luzhou rouge shop was handed over to the small shopkeeper in the shop to take care of, and with the secret recipe of Sheng Xuejian, Laifeng Pavilion has successfully surpassed the Jinxiu Pavilion and become the largest rouge shop in Luzhou. Every day, the little shopkeeper has to send the account books of the rouge shop to the Sheng Mansion.

On this day, the little shopkeeper went to the Shengjia Beiyuan with a new account book to greet Sheng Xue. As soon as Mint saw the little shopkeeper coming, he asked with a smile: "Did you make a lot of money yesterday, but I couldn't close your mouth when I saw you smiling." ”

The little shopkeeper is the apprentice of the shopkeeper Li, and he is only in his twenties this year, so he couldn't help but blush when he was teased by mint like this. Lily pulled the mint and said angrily: "Every time the little shopkeeper comes over, you have to make fun of others, it's so bad, beware that you won't be able to marry in the future!" ”

As soon as Mint heard this, she quarreled with Lily: "You are gentle and virtuous, I don't know what kind of wishful husband our Lily girl will marry in the future." Lily blushed at what she said. The little shopkeeper's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't quarrel with the two girls, there are many things in the shop, I have to hurry up and get the account books right." ”

The two girls also knew that important things could not be delayed, so they immediately put away their jokes and led the little shopkeeper to the plum garden. Since the father and son of the Sheng family left, the children of the Sheng family have moved out of the main house and have their own places to live. Originally, the two rooms in the plum garden were reserved for Sheng Xuejian and Sheng Xueyan to live in.

Because Sheng Xueyan is now taken care of by the old lady, she stayed in Nanyuan. So now Sheng Xue sees a person living in the plum garden, and the little shopkeeper also goes to the plum garden every time to find Sheng Xue to reconcile.

This time, Lily and Mint led the little shopkeeper to the outer hall of the plum garden, and Sheng Xue saw that he was practicing calligraphy inside. Seeing that the little shopkeeper was coming, he put down the pen in his hand. The little shopkeeper immediately handed over the account book, and said happily: "Miss, we came to Fengge this month to sell more than her Splendid Pavilion, because Miss's recipe is really useful, Miss Luzhou, almost everyone uses Miss's rouge, and even those old women want to use it!" ”

Sheng Xue nodded with satisfaction, the things on "Rejuvenation Technique" are naturally absolutely powerful. Seeing that Sheng Xue was in a good mood, the little shopkeeper asked, "Since Luzhou's business is so big, why don't we do more?" Why is the lady only allowed to sell 500 boxes a day? That's not enough! ”

"Haven't you heard of the truth that the wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it?" Sheng Xue asked rhetorically. The little shopkeeper was puzzled: "The little one knows, but Miss doesn't have our opponent in Luzhou at the moment, even if it is the Splendid Pavilion, she doesn't dare to do anything to us at all." ”

What the little shopkeeper said was indeed the truth, although Bai Wuye was sentenced to be beheaded after an autumn in Shengjing, but the business in Luzhou was still booming, Bai Wuye had a great relationship with the magistrates in Luzhou, and it was not easy for Jinxiu Pavilion to move Fengge.

Sheng Xue shook her head and said, "You can't be too popular now." You'll understand later. The little shopkeeper was confused, but since the owner had already said so, then he had nothing to say. So when Sheng Xue saw that she had finished reading the account book, she went back a little absent-mindedly.

As it turned out, Sheng Xuejian's language was right. The business of the Splendid Pavilion deteriorated, and the anxious Wu family's daughter-in-law, the Lan family, was circling around, and finally had to send someone to pull her father-in-law back from the gentle township, and intimidated him fiercely, only saying that the Splendid Pavilion had fallen, and the family had to drink the northwest wind.

The old lady Wu didn't care, just smiled mysteriously, and comforted the eldest daughter-in-law: "Don't get in the way, I just need to go to the Sheng family." (To be continued.)
