Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mistaken Life
This guard is also experienced and very sophisticated. He took advantage of the fact that the man in brocade had not come to his senses, and immediately ordered to take people first.
"Yes." Immediately, two big men, also dressed in black, strode forward. They didn't say a word, they directly tied up the brocade boy firmly and dragged him out.
Zhong Ziyuan didn't expect that he would make such a big battle with a single sentence. This six-rank guard is too shameless, but she likes to be shameless on such a bright face.
Seeing that the brocade-clothed man was still screaming in horror, Zhong Ziyuan suddenly shouted, "Wait." She stood up, walked to the woman in white with her hands, looked at her condescendingly, and said coldly: "For the sake of this son's infatuation with you, I won't send you to the daughter country, just give you to him as the ninth aunt." As long as you accompany this son to share weal and woe, and get through this difficult time in front of you, are you willing? ”
After "brushing", everyone's eyes were fixed on the woman in white, and even the boy in brocade looked at her expectantly. The woman's already gray face became more and more ugly, and after she lowered her head and thought for a while, she finally shook her head and whispered, "I, I don't want to go to prison." ”
Hearing this, the brocade-clothed boy was not angry, but showed a wry smile, and he finally woke up from his beauty. Zhong Ziyuan also shook his head, and said regretfully: "It is said that there is a gift to gain, if you don't want to give anything, how can you get it?" I gave you two chances, but you didn't take it, and don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
She bowed her hand to the guard and said, "Bring her to your master." Let's just say that I bought a new slave and ask him to help train it. ”
Zhong Ziyuan didn't really want to buy this woman in white as a slave, but just wanted to teach her a lesson and return her freedom. But now this woman is cold. Her selfish character and deep scheming completely angered her. Zhong Ziyuan didn't want to let this woman out to harm people anymore, so she had to temporarily detain her freedom. But even the broken courtyard of Zhong Ziyuan's house can't settle this ill-intentioned Buddha, and it is even more impossible to really send her to Mrs. Mei to cause trouble. After thinking about it, she still habitually handed over the trouble that gave her a headache to Guo Chengsi to deal with.
The guard was also very knowledgeable, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, Childe." There are at least dozens of orchards in the farms under the master's name, and I am afraid that I will not be able to settle a single cheap maid in this area. He waved his hand. shouted: "Come, take people away, and then go and report to the master." ”
"Yes." Then another man stepped forward and dragged the desperate woman in white away.
The woman shook her head frantically. I was about to cry and scream. The man didn't pity the jade, he immediately reached out and pinched her jaw like lightning, and a mistake was unloaded. The pain struck, and her tears gushed out again, but unfortunately she couldn't speak, so she could only cry silently. It seems that he is unhappy about his future hard fate, and he seems to be angry about Zhong Ziyuan's methods
Her hair was scattered, and her clothes were messy. Her wrist was swollen, but she didn't care about anything, and turned her head sharply. cast an extremely resentful gaze on the culprit who had mistaken her life.
The man was obviously handsome and kind, even if he was pampered and connived at the little guy, why didn't he have a trace of pity for himself. In her heart, she cursed desperately and viciously, "I will come back, and by that time, I will definitely make you repay a hundred times." I will make you regret the shame you brought me today. ”
Seeing that the woman in white was dragged away with resentment, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but shake her head and sighed: "Such a woman with scheming, appearance, means, and ambition, but from a humble background, really wants to enter the back house of a family, but it is really a disaster of restless house." ”
Mrs. Mei also sighed: "It's a pity that not every man is as perceptive as Childe, they will only be blinded by this woman's delicate appearance and cheap tears." "There is such an aunt in her back house, who wraps around her husband like a silk flower. And with her tall and strong temperament, she doesn't bother to compete with such a woman for the favor of the same man. That's why she worked hard to run her daughter country, and drew a line with Meifu everywhere. In her opinion, as long as she doesn't give herself hope, she will naturally not be disappointed.
Zhong Ziyuan smiled and said, "That's not necessarily, I'm not the only one who can see through the desire in this woman's eyes." After saying that, she raised her teacup and smiled and gestured to the two dressed men who had been sitting on the other side, seeing the farce from beginning to end. The two sons also raised their glasses, replaced the wine with tea, and gave her a friendly smile in return.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mei had to sigh and said: "What is it at the feet of the Son of Heaven" She didn't say the rest of the words, and Zhong Ziyuan naturally wouldn't ask stupidly.
Mrs. Mei often travels north and south for the business of her own shop, which can be said to be broad-minded and extraordinary. is a little more hearty than the lady who is usually kept in the mansion, and a little less twisted. Zhong Ziyuan was originally a daughter, and she has always appeared in front of the world as a man under Zhong Jinchuan's spoiling, of course, her knowledge is not shallow. So after the two sat together, they chatted very speculatively.
After drinking a few cups of tea and using some snacks, Mrs. Mei presented the remaining 2,700 taels of silver tickets, and expressed her intention to cooperate with Zhong Ziyuan for a long time. Zhong Ziyuan naturally couldn't ask for it, so he took out the previous contract formulated by Xue Ji. Mrs. May took a closer look, and showed her shrewd side, pointing out that several places had been slightly modified to obtain the benefits due to her daughter's country. called Li Xiucai up and re-transcribed it, and the two officially signed the contract together.
Seeing that the task of this trip had been completed, Mrs. May, who was like an arrow, got up and said goodbye. Zhong Ziyuan inadvertently asked, "I don't know where Mrs. Mei knows that my Peach Blossom Beauty Pill is so confident?" ”
Mrs. Mei smiled: "Because my father-in-law raised a former prostitute in Chang'an City as an outer room. Because the prostitute had been injured by safflower before, she had not conceived a child for three years. But the other day, she actually came to see me with her stomach up, which scared me. After many inquiries, I learned that it was the effect of a new beauty medicine Peach Blossom Beauty Pill that she had taken during this time. There is such a successful example in. Of course, I will be very optimistic about the future market of your peach blossom beauty pills. ”
Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but sweat when she heard this, this Mrs. Mei really deserves to be a strange woman in the business world, and even her focus is completely different from others. The general lady of the main room touches the outer room and puffs up her stomach to provoke. You should be angry, worried, or jealous. But this one is good, she is interested in the business opportunities contained in it. I don't know if there is a strong sense of frustration in being her husband.
Sitting back in the empty carriage, everyone was very excited. Of course, the first thing Zhong Ziyuan did was to repay the money he owed on credit and purchase a large number of medicinal herbs again. But this time, she paid real money, and she didn't owe a penny of medicinal materials on credit. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was happy. Also gave a price that was satisfactory to both parties. By the way, he ordered another thousand pills. Because in the past two days, the peach blossom beauty pills in his shop have been sold out.
It is said that the cause was the housewife of a house, and after giving birth to a young lady, her stomach did not move. Seeing Zhaohua pass away. Xianggong was hooked by the aunt of Xinna in the family again, and the housewife was disillusioned for a while.
Later, by mistake, her sister gave her twenty peach blossom beauty pills. After she took it, not only did her skin glow with a new glow. It has regained the attention of the prime minister. A few lingering times. I'm pregnant.
Such a strange thing spread quickly in her small circle, so the more than a hundred pills that were left in the shopkeeper's place were snatched up in an instant. Later, the ladies who came late and didn't rush to buy the pills left a deposit, just hoping to buy this magical beauty pill with a child delivery function.
Just as he was carrying the goods, the six-rank guard who was hidden in the shadows took the initiative to show up again. He called Zhong Ziyuan out of the pharmacy, then pulled him aside and said, "The master sent that girl to a farm in the western suburbs. He was given to the youngest son of a steward. He said that such a woman should marry as soon as possible to save her worries. Although the youngest son of the housekeeper is a little reckless, his family is okay. There are two capable brothers to help her, but it is not a bad treatment for her. The master asked, are you still satisfied? ”
Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but be stunned for a while when she heard this, she didn't expect that it had only been half an hour. The woman who was still in front of her before, singing and acting well, was actually set for life so quickly, and she was married to a reckless person. It is estimated that with her heart higher than the sky, she is also desperate at the moment!
Thinking of this, Zhong Ziyuan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and always felt that she had mistaken a woman's life. However, she also had to admit that Guo Chenghe's method was the best, and it was done once and for all. Only let her marry a wife, give birth to a child, and be entangled in family trivialities every day. Although her husband is reckless, she has two shrewd brothers watching, and only in this way will she really curb the resentment and ambition that grows like weeds in her heart.
It's just that these have always been the selfish methods used by those mothers of the back house to control those girls who want to climb into the master's bed. Guo Chenghe, such a noble son, how could he use these? After a pause, Zhong Ziyuan nodded and said, "I know, this kind of handling is very good, I don't have any opinions." The guard immediately departed.
Zhong Ziyuan returned to the shop,
Not long after, several people returned with a cart full of medicinal herbs. Before he got closer, he saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and Qingdai and Xiucai Niangzi were looking out anxiously. Seeing their carriage swaying back, their eyes lit up.
After the carriage stopped, Qing Dai hurriedly caught up, helped Zhong Ziyuan get out of the carriage, and didn't forget to ask with concern: "Childe, this road is still smooth!" Have you got the balance? ”
Zhong Ziyuan nodded and smiled: "It's very smooth, not only did I hand over the goods smoothly, but I also collected the final payment." The most rare thing is that Mrs. Mei and the shopkeeper of Jixiang Pharmacy have also signed a contract with us, and we need to provide them with this peach blossom beauty pill for a long time. ”
"Great" A cheer sounded, not only Qingdai and Xiucai Niangzi, but also a few girls who were idle and hiding behind the door to eavesdrop.
Zhong Ziyuan smiled and announced loudly: "Girls, don't worry! In the future, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, you will have endless money. After a moment of silence, louder cheers rang out. looked at the little faces that were immature, but still smiling very happily. The previous unhappiness in Zhong Ziyuan's heart was immediately thrown out of the clouds.
Cardamom also jumped out of the carriage at this time, and she laughed and said loudly, "Don't giggle, don't help unload the medicinal herbs in the car." ”
"Hey, here we are" The scene suddenly fell into a busy scene. Someone heard the cheers and hurriedly came out to see what was going on. I happened to see a group of girls hurriedly unloading a large number of medicinal herbs from the carriage, and I couldn't help but smile knowingly, and of course some people showed greed.
Zhong Ziyuan left them behind and went into his room alone. She took out the easily signed supply contract and a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve pocket, along with the deed of sale of the woman in white, and locked them all into a huge camphor wood box.
Holding the key in one hand and touching the heavy box in the other, her heart beat like a drum, and the excitement that had been suppressed for a long time finally vented. She let out a long breath of turbid air and muttered, "Dad, mother, you see, I have finally taken the first step towards success." Next, I want to earn a lot of silver, and I want to re-shine the lintel of our Bell Mansion. ”
After a long time, all the goods on the carriage had been unloaded in the courtyard, and Zhong Ziyuan slowly walked out. Xiucai had already returned to his house to study poetry, and Fu Bo also unloaded the carriage and drove the Qingcong horse back to the shed to wash.
Only those girls were left standing obediently in the courtyard, Zhong Ziyuan looked around, feeling as if she was in a field of purple and red, she couldn't help but hook her lips and smiled, and began to carefully arrange the work they were responsible for.
She pointed to the three older girls who were also a little stout and said, "The three of you will be responsible for grinding medicinal herbs with Xiucai Lady in the future." As for wages! Let's count according to the sky in the future. For the time being, it is set at 40 cents a day. ”
In the past two days, only the two girls with the fastest hands and feet have earned more than 40 yuan a day, and most of them have earned more than 30 yuan. Therefore, they are still very satisfied with the salary of 40 yuan a day. It is also because the work of grinding medicinal materials is relatively hard, so Zhong Ziyuan's wages for them are also higher.
"Hey, got it." "Medium! Forty clerks a day earn more than my dad earns. The trio scrambled to agree, causing a burst of laughter to erupt in the surroundings.
Only Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but smile, and pointed to the other two and said, "You will follow Qingdai together and be responsible for making zuò medicinal embryos." Then he pointed to the other three and said, "In the future, you will be in charge of making zuò pills, do you understand?" ”
"Understood." The seven girls agreed in unison. Then they started to split up.
But the talented lady asked strangely: "What does Sister-in-law Zhuang do?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan smiled and said: "I see that Sister-in-law Zhuang has a good job, and she helped me embroider a purse, and the color and pattern match it is a must." I want her to be in charge of the packaging of the pills in the future. ”
Speaking of the amazing embroidery work in Sister-in-law Zhuang's hands, Xiucai Lady was also very admired, she nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, I used to get a purse from her that of a mandarin duck playing in the water, just looking at it like this, the mandarin duck is lifelike and almost alive." It must not be wrong to give her such a job. ”
Just as the two were talking, Sister-in-law Zhuang suddenly shouted angrily outside the courtyard gate: "Which little deflated third family ran to the gate of this courtyard to scribble?" Isn't there an adult in the family to take care of it? (To be continued......)
