Chapter 426: Hot Springs
Snoring is only the first step, followed by teeth grinding and talking in the sleep.
I slept very soundly and deeply, and I seemed to have a sweet dream.
is really envious of Xiao Zhan, who sleeps lightly.
Xiao Zhan, who slept on the soft bed, was added to the brocade quilt, and could wake up as long as there was a slight sound, looking at An Rong, who could sleep so sweetly in the bumpy carriage, he really had the urge to shake her awake so that she could ask for a "secret recipe".
Xiao Zhan was silent, and only gently hooked An Rong's broken hair to her ear.
The slight touch made An Rong a little numb.
I can't pretend it a few times, I just hate the coachman for daring to slow the carriage more and more, so when will I get to the Guogong Mansion?
I kept lying on my stomach like this, and my waist should not be able to straighten up for a while.
Who can help her pinch her waist, I can't thank you enough.
An Rong is carrying it.
Until the curtain of the car was lifted, the dazzling light made An Rong's eyes blink.
There was a burst of laughter in my ears.
"Big brother, can your carriage be slower any longer? I just saw a seventy or eighty-year-old woman carrying a basket of vegetables over your ......," Xiao Qian felt a little pain in his stomach.
Fortunately, this road is wide, and there are not many people coming and going, otherwise at this speed, it would have been flooded with saliva.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Qian and said, "The carriage is running too fast, I can't hear your sister-in-law talking in her dreams." ”
"Sister-in-law still talks in her dreams?" Xiao Qian was a little surprised.
"Still grinding your teeth," Xiao Zhan said with a raised brow.
Xiao Qian was worried, "It's so noisy, big brother, you have always slept lightly, how can you sleep, can the doctor cure it?" ”
An Rong's face was flushed, he opened his eyes, and said to Xiao Qian, "Your eldest brother is slandering me!" ”
Xiao Qian, "....... ”
Big brother, you didn't have such leisure before, you got married, why did you change so much?
And why is half of my sister-in-law's face red like that?
Xiao Qian swept Xiao Zhan's chest, it seems that the sister-in-law has really "slept" for a long time.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, I'll go back to the mansion first, you go slowly."
After speaking, Xiao Qian grabbed the horse's belly and drove away.
In the carriage, Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, as if he didn't know that An Rong was pretending to be asleep, "Sleep enough?" Do you want to sleep a little longer? ”
An Rong rubbed his cheeks, pouted and asked, "Are you really sleeping lightly?" ”
has also lived in Linglong Pavilion for a long time, why hasn't she noticed him sleeping lightly in the past few days?
Xiao Zhan opened the small table, brought water to An Rong, and said, "It's not as light as before." ”
"How light are you sleeping?" An Rong asked.
Xiao Zhan's answer made An Rong's eyes widen and his face was bloodshot, only to hear him reply, "You turned over thirteen times last night, sat up once, and slept at your feet in the wrong direction, and I carried you back." ”
It's not as shallow as it used to be, and how many times can you find her turn over in one night??
So how shallow did he sleep before?
"Why didn't I find out before?" An Rong was puzzled, "Can't it be cured?" ”
slept so lightly, if it was her, it was estimated that he didn't have any energy during the day, and he couldn't see it at all.
Xiao Zhan held An Rong's hand and said, "This is the vigilance of those who practice martial arts. ”
"But you don't have to be alert to this, do you?" An Rong shrugged her nose, didn't she even guard against her?
"I'm worried that something will suddenly disappear from you," besides, she kept moving, and he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.
An Rong raised his wrist and laughed, "Disappearing, it's still in your Xiao family's heirloom, where can you disappear?" ”
Xiao Zhan nodded silently.
The carriage picked up speed and soon stopped in front of the Guogong Mansion.
After getting out of the carriage, it was time to go back to the inner courtyard.
At this time, the hour is a little late, and there are a few rays of sunset in the sky.
Rosewood Temple.
The main house is all in one place.
When An Rong and Xiao Zhan entered, they were still a little frightened.
Except for the day of the tea ceremony, she hadn't seen so many people, and it seemed that they were discussing something important.
Several wives were very happy, especially Mrs. Xiao San, and said with a smile, "I am looking forward to it left and right, but it can be regarded as coming back." ”
An Rong and Xiao Zhan stepped forward to greet one by one.
An Rong didn't speak, Xiao Zhan asked, "Are you discussing the matter of the Jade Pavilion?" ”
Xiao Lao Guogong nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "An Rong is pregnant, you shouldn't work too hard, you have other things to do, and the business of Yujin Pavilion will be taken care of by your third uncle for the time being." ”
Xiao Zhan didn't fight for anything, and turned around and instructed Zhao Chengdao, "Take the account books in the study." ”
Mrs. Xiao San's face bloomed with a smile this time, and she finally got her wish.
Asking Xiao Zhan and An Rong to hand over the account books is only the first step, and the next step is to lower the requirements.
Mrs. Xiao San said, "Grandpa Guo, the business of the Jade Jin Pavilion is not as good as before, before An Rong came up with a lucky bag and sold out the accumulated jewelry, the future operation of the Jade Jin Pavilion will only become more and more difficult, and it is too difficult to ...... the profit of 40,000 taels per month." ”
Xiao Laoguo glanced at her and raised his hand to interrupt her, "Difficult, doesn't mean it's impossible." Originally, you couldn't sell the jewelry that had accumulated in the Jade Pavilion, but An Rong did it, and the solution was always figured out, since he took over the Jade Pavilion, he would do it according to the rules
Can. ”
The third lady's face was a little ugly.
Xiao Laoguo doesn't care about this, to put it bluntly, opening a shop is to make money, as long as the profit is enough, as for whether it is a three-room subsidy, it is a matter of three rooms, and if you take the shop to your body, you always have to pay some price if you don't have the ability.
"As long as anyone thinks they have that ability, they can take over the Jade Pavilion," Xiao Laoguo was very generous.
After speaking, Old Duke Xiao put this matter aside, and asked An Rong instead, "Princess Zhuang County brought the county lord of Xirou and Shu Scar Cream to the queen today, saying that you poisoned the Scar Scar Cream she bought?" ”
An Rong looked helpless, "I don't know what's going on, but I haven't poisoned the soothing ointment." ”
She dared to poison the medicine of the county lord of Xirou, and she thought that her life was almost long.
However, she is not afraid of Princess Zhuangjun finding fault.
The medicine was sent to the county lord of Xirou from leaving the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and I don't know how many hands it passed.
She decided it was her, but what about the evidence?
Accusations made out of thin air without evidence are slanderous.
She didn't have the time to take care of her.
Mrs. Xiao sighed lightly, "I heard that the poison is not serious, but unfortunately it reacted with the medicine in the soothing ointment, and the toxicity increased more than ten times. ”
If you can't cure the face of the lord of Rou, with Princess Zhuang's unreasonable and temperament, she will have endless troubles in the future.
How could the Hou Mansion of Wu'an meet such a difficult lord as the Zhuang Wangfu, but there is General Ao behind him.
An Rong is also very depressed, but the matter has come to this, Princess Zhuang wants to find fault, and she only has the share of recruitment, is she still afraid that she will not succeed?
Soon, Zhao Chengcheng took the account books, two large account books, and a bunch of keys.
Xiao Lao Guogong didn't even look at it, so he gestured to hand it over to Master Xiao San.
Master Xiao San's face was embarrassed, he was really not sure that Yujin Pavilion would make a profit of 40,000 taels per month.
Knowing that he doesn't have that ability, he still pulls it on his body, isn't that full of burning hands that he thinks of money?
Master Xiao San didn't take the account book, and said to Xiao Laoguo, "Father, my son is incompetent, I really don't have the ability to make a profit of 40,000 yuan, so let others come." ”
Master Xiao San took the initiative to give up, but Mrs. Xiao San glared at him angrily, pulled him back, and said in a low voice, "I haven't tried yet, how can there be any reason to give up?" ”
Master Xiao San shook her hand, "You have to try, you come, just fill it with your dowry when the time comes, my father didn't say that you are not allowed to manage it." ”
"I'll come, I'll come!" Mrs. Xiao San said angrily.
She took the account book in Zhao Cheng's hand, full of confidence.
This matter is settled.
Mrs. Xiao thought about An Rong's face, and she was not reluctant at all, could she not be tempted by money at all?
Does she know what the Jade Pavilions can bring her?
Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "In the past two months, under the management of An Rong, the Jade Jin Pavilion has made a lot of profits, deducting the agreed 40,000 taels, and the remaining profits will be divided into 20% ...... for you." ”
An Rong's eyes suddenly widened.
Especially Mrs. Xiao Er continued, "Those accumulated jewelry are all calculated in the cost of each month, so there is no cost, these two percent, are worth Zhan'er to take care of the Jade Pavilion for two years, right?" ”
Xiao Laoguo asked Xiao Zhan, "How much is 20%?" ”
Xiao Zhan pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Almost ninety thousand taels." ”
10,000 taels more than his income in two years......
Chiguoguo's envy and jealousy.
Especially Mrs. Xiao San, holding the account book in her hand, her heart was panicked.
She held the account book, and she couldn't guarantee that she would not lose money, but An Rong made a lot of money.
An Rong also felt that this was pie in the sky, and her head was a little dizzy.
"Go back and ask the Jade Jin Pavilion steward to send you the silver ticket," Xiao Lao Guogong smiled without blinking.
Mrs. Xiao San, who was in a very blocked mood, abruptly diverted the topic and asked, "Jin'er and Li'er have been out of the house for almost a day, why haven't they come back yet?" ”
Xiao Li'er is the daughter born to Mrs. Xiao San.
Mrs. Xiao's brows also furrowed, "It's a lot late, do you need a day to get some hot spring water?" ”
Mrs. Xiao didn't worry about accidents, they all brought maids with them when they went out.
When it comes to these juniors, several masters are not very interested, they are busy.
Xiao Laoguo left, and before leaving, he called Xiao Zhan too.
Leave Anrong there, pouting gently, can't you take me with you?
After Xiao Laoguo and the others left, the house became lively.
When he was there, several wives didn't dare to speak loudly, except for Mrs. Xiao San.
At this moment, Mrs. Xiao Si couldn't help but say, "Third sister-in-law, you are too reckless, you know that the business of Yujin Pavilion is not good, and you still take over, isn't this reaching out to touch the hedgehog?" ”
Second Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Fourth brother and sister, third brother and sister are not you, she doesn't do things that she is not sure of." ”
Mrs. Xiao San tried to squeeze out a smile, it was really as ugly as it was.
Mrs. Xiao also smiled, "If it's a shop next to you, you can still ask An Rong for advice, the Jade Jin Pavilion is related to your own interests, if you have a good way, you can run it yourself." ”
Mrs. Xiao thinks that Mrs. Xiao San is stupid enough, too eager for quick success, and it is strange if she doesn't pay for it.
There are so many lucky bags, even if they are sold every few days, there are a lot.
Most of the people who have gone to Yujin Pavilion to buy things recently are those who have received discounts, and there are very few others.
She felt that Yujin Pavilion would usher in a low ebb, but she took over at this time, and she really thought that there was too much money.
In the room, there was a laugh for a while.
The old lady said to An Rong, "You are pregnant, and you are tired for another day, go back and rest." ”
An Rong nodded lightly, and the blessed body retired.
As a result, before he turned around, a maid came to report, "Big girl, they're back." ”
Almost when the maid announced, Xiao Jin'er and the others entered the house.
An Rong didn't see anything wrong, but Mrs. Xiao noticed it and asked Xiao Jin'er, "Why did you change your clothes?" ”
Xiao Jin'er's face turned red, "I accidentally fell into the hot spring, so I changed my clothes." ”
Mrs. Xiao was heartbroken, and hurriedly asked her, "Can you fall and get hurt?" ”
Xiao Jin'er shook her head again and again, "Mother, I'm fine." ”
Second Mrs. Xiao asked Xiao Chun'er, "What about the hot spring water, it took so long to come back, don't carry the hot spring back entirely." ”
Xiao Chun'er is the daughter of Mrs. Xiao's second wife, and she is thirteen years old this year.
Hearing Mrs. Xiao's question, she shook her head like a wave drum and said, "The hot spring water can't be whitened, what are you doing when you move back?" ”
An Rong suddenly raised his eyes.
Second Mrs. Xiao glanced at An Rong in surprise, and then asked Xiao Chun'er, "Who said you can't whiten?" ”
Xiao Jin'er glared at An Rong, and her tone was three points of blame, "Sister-in-law, how can you lie to us?" ”
An Rong suddenly panicked, "I'm ......." ”
Mrs. Xiao frowned slightly, "What's going on, make it clear." ”R1152
