099 three years later
Time flies quickly, and three years have passed since Zhang Chunhua's death in a blink of an eye. When Zhang Chunhua died, the Zhang family brought people to the door to make trouble, but the matter was not big, after all, what Zhang Chunhua did was really disgraceful, if Shang Shixun was ruthless, the future daughters of the Zhang family would not want to get married.
Shang Shixun gave them a sum of silver, warned them again, and sent the people of the Zhang family away. Li Yunxiang has since become the owner of the merchant's inner house, not to mention that he has great power, but he is the only one in the inner house.
Shang Shixun is still doing porcelain trading, and the business is bigger than three years ago, with more than a dozen kiln factories built and shops all over Qingzhou.
In the inner courtyard of the merchant, Li Yunxiang sat under the flower stand and was teaching her son Shang Jinyu to learn calligraphy. Shang Jinyu is only three years old, but he is very smart, although he is only three years old, he already knows a lot of words. He is very strong, taller than his peers, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is not like Shang Shixun and Li Yunxiang.
At first, Shang Shixun was suspicious, thinking that this child was really not like him, but before he could say it, Li Yunxiang cried in front of him, saying that it was his nephew Uncle Xiao, and Shang Jinyu's appearance was with her eldest brother. If Shang Shixun doubted it, then she died with the child to prove her innocence.
Shang Shixun naturally didn't dare to doubt it anymore, so he could only acquiesce to this statement. Fortunately, although Shang Jinyu doesn't look like him, he is very smart, drawing inferences from others, and he is very close to him, and the doubt in Shang Shixun's heart has disappeared.
Li Yunxiang taught Shang Jinyu for a while, and Shang Jintian came. When Shang Jinyu saw him, he was too lazy to learn calligraphy, and proposed to play with Shang Jintian, but Li Yunxiang couldn't refuse him. I had to let the maid follow.
As soon as they left, the late lady said worriedly, "Madam." You let the young master stay with him, if something happens......"
Li Yunxiang gave her a warning look. The smile was very faint: "You are just too careful, but you are just a child, what can you do?" What's more, there are still people watching, Yu'er can't have an accident. ”
The late lady felt that Li Yunxiang was too taken for granted, so she said: "But the slave maid heard that Shang Jinluo's girl once pushed the second lady of the Shang County Ling family into the ice pool, and almost died." His sister can do such a thing, what can he do? ”
The smile on Li Yunxiang's face disappeared, and the gaze that looked at Wanniang was a little colder: "I know what you mean." You think I should get rid of them, or sooner or later they will be a scourge, but I can't. ”
The late mother was surprised: "What is it for?" ”
Li Yunxiang sighed: "Late mother, we are no longer in that organization, and we can't act like before." I got rid of the Zhang family because she wanted to kill my Yu'er, which has nothing to do with Shang Jintian and Shang Jinluo. They are just two children, what kind of wind and waves can they turn over? What's more, they are now Yu'er's older brothers and sisters. If they die, Yu'er will be sad, and I don't want him to be sad. ”
Wanniang opened her mouth and wanted to persuade again. Li Yunxiang said again: "Wan Niang, it's better not to do such a thing as killing." It will damage the yin morality. I don't want anything else right now, I just want my children to grow up safely. Be happy and get ahead. I already have too much blood on my hands. You can't get it anymore. ”
Speaking of this, she pinched the Buddha beads on her wrist and silently recited the Buddha name.
When the late mother saw her like this, she couldn't say anything more.
Shang Jintian and Shang Jinluo didn't know that they had escaped again, one was having fun with Shang Jinyu, and the other was reading a book.
That's right, Shang Jinluo is reading, and since Zhang Chunhua's death three years ago, she has liked to read. After Zhang Chunhua's death, she seemed to be a completely different person, no longer messing with Li Yunxiang and Shang Shixun, but became well-behaved and quiet. Even if she sees Li Yunxiang, she will call people obediently, which is very different from the past, and it seems to have been completely reborn.
Shang Jinluo doesn't like to run to Zhang's house, but she often goes to see Shang Sun's family and looks for Shang Jinxiu. Li Yunxiang sent a maid to watch her, and she could know what Shang Jinluo did. There is only one thing, but Li Yunxiang doesn't know what to do.
Shang Jinluo often took advantage of the maid's absence to ask Shang Jinxiu, wanting to use Shang Jinxiu as a teacher. Shang Jinxiu didn't intercede for her, but just told Lan Qi about it, but unfortunately Lan Qi didn't agree once.
It's not that Lan Qi still hates Shang Jinluo's previous stubbornness, it's just that Shang Jinluo's roots are not good, and he is not suitable for martial arts.
Even Li Shuhua and Shang Shigong don't know about this matter, let alone Li Yunxiang, otherwise, her thoughts may not be like this.
Shang Jinluo often went to see Shang Jinxiu, but Shang Jinxiu rarely went to her house. One is that he is busy with business, and the other is that he doesn't like Li Yunxiang. In Shang Jinxiu's opinion, no matter how much affection Li Yunxiang and Shang Shixun love, she is a shameful third party, not to mention, Zhang Chunhua died because of this, and Shang Jinxiu has a bad impression of her.
Even Shang Shixun and Shang Jinxiu have already withdrawn their shares and no longer care about his business.
In the past three years, Shang Jinxiu's main focus has been to develop his own farm, orchard and restaurant. 'Yipinxian' expanded on its original scale and opened one in each of the five nearby counties.
After all, there are not a few spices and vegetables and fresh meat that a restaurant needs to use in a year, and it took Shang Jinxiu three years to finally cultivate a lot of spices, and the output is not high, so he can only take his time step by step.
In the past three years, Shang Jinxiu has cultivated a lot of fruit tree seedlings intermittently, but unfortunately the time is too short, only a few seedlings have begun to bear fruit, and the others have to wait. Several hills in Qingshan County were bought by Shang Jinxiu and built orchards.
The furniture workshop produces a large amount of wood chips every year, and Shang Jinxiu does not want to waste it, so he uses it to grow fungus and mushrooms.
The dishes of 'Yipin Xian' are a little richer than before, with the addition of medicinal diets that focus on health preservation, and some dishes that take time to prepare must be booked in advance, even so, the business of 'Yipin Xian' is still very hot, and even the seats have to be booked in advance.
The He family's 'Xiangmanlou' has opened a lot of branches in Qingzhou, for business, He Yunqi spent a lot of money to dig up a lot of good cooks from other stores, and sent people to other places to find spices, although it cost a lot of silver, but she found it. After all, the spices planted by Shang Jinxiu are placed there, and with a reference, it is much easier to find something.
With spices and good cooks, the taste of the dishes in 'Xiangmanlou' has improved a lot, although it is slightly lacking compared to 'Yipin Xian', but it is already very good compared to other restaurants. It's just that the vegetables grown by Shang Jinxiu are not sold out, and only serve 'Yipin Xian', which leads to the fact that the types of 'Xiangmanlou' dishes cannot be compared with 'Yipin Xian', and the business is naturally inferior.
He Yunqi looked at nature and blushed, so she gritted her teeth and opened many more branches, but her branches opened a lot, but the spices in her hands were always limited, and there was no way to supply them all, so the taste of the dishes became uneven, and it was not as famous as 'Yipin Xian'.
Jinxiu, the businessman who opened a branch of 'Xiangmanlou', naturally knew it, but he didn't care much about it. She never thought that she would be able to complete all the transactions by herself, and the scale of 'Yipinxian' is already good now, and she earns a lot every year, and she is satisfied.
However, she didn't care about the He family, but the He family started her idea again.
Just yesterday, the He family sent someone to send an invitation, inviting Li Shuhua to be a guest at the He family with her. This invitation is really weird, since He Yuanfang's incident happened three years ago, the He family and the business have basically broken off contact, and they never move around even during the New Year's holidays.
Now that it is not a New Year's Day, the He family took the initiative to send an invitation, which really makes people doubt the intentions of the He family. Shang Jinxiu didn't want to go at all, and Li Shuhua was impatient to meet with the He family, so he ordered someone to refuse the He family.
The He family didn't say anything, Li Shuhua thought that the matter was over like this, and didn't take this matter to heart.
However, this morning, not long after breakfast, the He family's carriage arrived at the door of the merchant's house, and it was none other than He Yuanfang. Compared with three years ago, He Yuanfang's face is obviously much thicker. Her prayer note clearly stated that if Li Shuhua didn't see her, she wouldn't leave at the door.
Li Shuhua had no choice but to order someone to invite her in, otherwise the He family's car would not look good all the time parked at the door.
When He Yuanfang came in, Shang Jinxiu and Lan Qi were also there, and they all felt that He Yuanfang would definitely not be good when he came this time, and they were worried that Li Shuhua would be bullied, so they refused to leave.
Seeing He Yuanfang, the three of them were surprised. Three years have passed, but He Yuanfang has not seen age, but looks younger. Shang Jinxiu felt strange, and after a closer look, he found that He Yuanfang was actually not younger, but his complexion was much better than three years ago.
When He Yuanfang married Shang Shixun, she herself was unwilling, she was bullied by the Zhang family in the business, and she was not treated by Shang Shixun, so her complexion naturally could not be good. Now it's different, since she managed part of the He family's business, with the silver coming in, He Yuanfang has regained her brilliance, coupled with exquisite makeup and beautiful clothes and jewelry, the whole person is naturally radiant.
She had just the right smile on her face, and the etiquette was not bad at all, but when she saw Li Shuhua, her face changed rapidly, and a trace of surprise and disbelief flashed in her eyes.
He Yuanfang originally walked in proudly, thinking that he would see a bloated woman, but Li Shuhua looked younger and more beautiful than three years ago.
This is something she didn't expect.
When she left the business three years ago, Li Shuhua had just given birth not long after giving birth, and her materials were bloated and her skin had become rough, which was completely incomparable to her. In three years, He Yuanfang thought that he would be reborn and would definitely be able to compare Li Shuhua, but he didn't expect that Li Shuhua would also be reborn.
Looking at the radiant Li Shuhua in front of him, He Yuanfang suddenly became jealous. (To be continued......)
