Volume 1 The Great Dream Chapter 33: Raising Money
Qinghuan has not been idle in the past few days, she has been thinking about striking while the iron is hot and opening the cake shop. After all, there are not many people who can use it in her hands, because of the last time the Queen Mother wanted to give marriage, she didn't want to go to Xuanwang's Mansion, so she invited Shangguan Yufei to the next post.
Yu Fei arrived at Qing Huan and asked straight to the point: "Now you don't even go to my place, you want me to come over, tell me quickly, what's the matter with me." ”
"Sister Yufei, don't worry, it's not convenient for me to go to the palace at this time, I want to ask my sister to help find someone to set up a shop, I want to open a cake shop in the capital."
"Oh, that's what happened. It's hard for you to have such a big heart, and you still have the heart to think about these money-making things. ”
Qing Huan felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What does my sister mean by this?" ”
Shangguan Yufei looked at Qing Huan and said: "My younger brother, after returning from the imperial grandmother's birthday banquet, he had an awkward relationship with his mother, for you don't eat anymore, you are good, I only think about the cake room in my heart, I, as a sister, is really not worth it for You'er." ”
Hunger strike? No way?
Qing Huan touched her nose, felt a little funny, and asked, "Your mother is really upset." ”
Shangguan Yufei said angrily: "Are you still in the mood to laugh?" Don't worry about You'er starving your body? ”
"Will it? I don't think Sister Yufei is worried, didn't my sister secretly bring something to eat for her younger brother? ”
"You!" Shangguan Yufei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even you can't deceive you, my mother actually believes it!" ”
Qing Huan's mood suddenly became less heavy, and said, "That's because the princess is worried." ”
"Cut! Say it as if you're not worried! ”
Qing Huan held back a smile, pursed his lips, and asked, "Okay, I'm also worried, Shizi he, how is it now?" ”
"What else, be angry with my mother, say that he is his concubine candidate, you have to be. My mother is angry. ”
Qing Huan still sighed, "Why should the prince be like this...... Alas, in short, Sister Yufei should help persuade her. ”
"I won't persuade him, I'm the same as You'er, I believe that a person will not change, although I don't know what happened to you, but I believe that You'er is serious, our two sisters fell in love, if you really become the princess, it's too late for me to be happy, as for my cousin Lin'er, she is the maiden niece of the mother's concubine, and the mother's concubine is naturally towards her, now the two families have not seen each other for many years, who knows what it looks like now, the mother's concubine has to be forced into You'er, and she doesn't consider whether the parties are willing or not, this move is really inappropriate."
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yufei said this, but Qing Huan smiled instead: "You two sisters and brothers, you really want to anger the princess to death." It's no wonder that your mother is treating the prince like this, it is really your example in the front, the queen mother said that the marriage is up to you, and now you can only spill your anger on the prince. When it comes to the marriage of the two of you, there must be one that she can call the shots, right? ”
Yu Fei said: "So, don't you blame my mother in your heart? If it weren't for her, your marriage to You'er would have been decided. ”
Qing Huan replied: "Where do I dare to blame the princess?" In fact, I myself have a marriage contract, and it was given by my biological mother, and now I am also in a dilemma. My sister went back to persuade the son, but also put her own body first, and then slowly find a way to do other things in the future! ”
"Alas, Su Jingyang is a well-known model of a family in the capital, he has been practicing literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he is smart and motivated. However, after all, it has nothing to do with you, as long as you have a firm position, You'er will help you. ”
Qing Huan said firmly: "Don't bother, I have my own way." ”
"Okay, I believe in you, but I hope you believe in You'er too."
Qing Huan didn't speak, and Shangguan Yufei said again: "You have to remember, don't regret it until you lose it." Everyone believes that time allows a person to forget the past and start over. But my sister is from the past, and I deeply understand what it means to pass through a thousand sails. ”
Isn't it a thousand sails?
So, who is her sail?
The two were chatting, Qing Huan suddenly remembered Ye Huan, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, don't worry about my affairs, but there is something I almost forgot to tell you." ”
Shangguan Yufei was busy asking what was going on, Qing Huan thought about it and asked, "Sister, do you know Ye Huan?" ”
"Is that him? How do you mention him in a good way? Although he has no deep friendship, he is not unaware of him, after all, he is the eldest grandson of the Yasukuni family. ”
Qing Huan then asked: "It turns out that I know, what does my sister think of this person?" ”
Shangguan Yufei shrugged his shoulders and replied: "You know, our palace and the Nanyang Hou Mansion have always been at odds, the Duke of Jingguo is the father-in-law of the Nanyang Hou, and several of their mansions are dependent on Concubine Li's blessings and misfortunes. ”
Qing Huan asked again: "Sister Yufei, I'm not asking you about the Yasukuni Mansion or the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, but Ye Huan, what do you think?" ”
"Ye Huan? As far as I know, he is the most outstanding person in the Guogong Mansion, and even the grandfather of the country said that Ye Huan is the only successor worthy of his pride. ”
Qing Huan continued: "Sister, Ye Huan once looked for me and confided in me, do you want to know what he told me?" ”
Shangguan Yufei was a little incredulous: "You mean, Ye Huan, he likes you?" When did you meet? I didn't even know it. ”
Qing Huan snorted and laughed: "You misunderstood, my sister is really confused, he doesn't like me, the person he likes is your sister." ”
Shangguan Yufei was stunned: "What did you say?" Does he like me? How is this possible, I've never heard of it. What's more, I don't know him well at all. ”
"Sister, don't believe it, it's true. Ye Gongzi has probably had a crush on you for a long time, and wants me to help test whether my sister has forgotten to become the prince of the king. ”
Shangguan Yufei's eyes widened and asked, "Do you know that the prince of Chengwang?" ”
"That's right, I know, my sister values love and righteousness, and my sister really admires it. I didn't want to agree to that Ye Huan, but he was sincere, and I could feel his sincerity to my sister as an outsider, and you also said that this person was indeed very good. I don't know that Cheng Wang Shizi, but I only know that it is not a way for Sister Yu Fei to wait like this, believe me, you deserve a better life, of course, that person does not have to be Ye Huan. ”
Shangguan Yufei interrupted: "You don't need to say it, he is definitely not dead. You don't need to persuade me, my mind is up. ”
Qing Huan said helplessly: "I know that I will persuade you not to move, but where Ye Gongzi is, do you need me to refuse?" ”
"No, I'll tell him personally. By the way, aren't you looking for a place to open a cake shop? Have you decided that you want to do business in the capital? ”
"My sister will find someone to help me choose a store first, I can't open it for the time being, I really don't have anyone under me who can use it."
Shangguan Yufei said: "This is simple, I can help you choose people, the palace can use more people." And there are some shops in the palace. ”
"No need, my sister has helped me enough, others will say that I am not satisfied. It's that I have other things to face, and now I just want to find a good storefront, and it's best to have a courtyard behind the store, of course, it's better to be bigger. As for the money, my sister must not pay me in advance, and after the negotiation is done, tell me that every penny will be paid by myself. ”
It's embarrassing to bother others, because she really doesn't have anyone available, but it's easy to talk about money.
Yu Fei thought that Qing Huan was talking about the recent reward of the queen's mother, and it was naturally more than enough to buy a shop courtyard, since she insisted on paying for it herself, she was not reluctant, and said: "Sister Qing Huan, I can understand that you chose the store in advance and did not open it, but you are a dignified daughter, why do you want to buy a courtyard outside?" ”
"I could be homeless at any time, and it's never a bad thing to plan ahead for myself."
Thinking of Qinghuan's situation, Shangguan Yufei didn't think much about it, and only persuaded her: "Others say that I am deviant, but I just don't want to get married, I didn't expect you to have the idea of running away from home, the girl's family, so you always fall into other people's gossip." ”
"Thank you sister for your concern, it's not that I have the idea of running away from home, it's that I'm afraid that sooner or later this place won't be able to accommodate me, the world is boring and loves gossip, we can't be drowned by spitting stars, it's better to find a way out for ourselves." For me, the sky is freer outside. ”
"Sister, don't worry, I'll help you deal with things outside." Shangguan Yufei discussed the tune of the qin song with her for a while and left.
There are so many things missing in the warehouse, the Zhao family has been busy analyzing the engagement and has not noticed it, Qing is happy and comfortable, she will definitely not sell or pawn the things left by her mother, and there are a lot of precious medicinal materials in the space, although it is not suitable to flow outside frequently, it is still okay to occasionally take out a little rescue. So she took the time to disguise herself as a man and sneaked out again, this time not for shopping, but to a drugstore.
Someone immediately came over to greet him and asked, "What kind of medicinal herbs does this son want?" Is there a prescription to bring? ”
"Little second brother doesn't have to be busy, I'm not buying medicine, I have good ginseng in my hand, I don't know if your store is interested in buying it?"
"Childe, the ginseng in our store was purchased by the owner from the farthest north, and no one has ever come to the store to sell ginseng. Seeing that you are still young, don't be deceived by others, and take random things to fool us. ”
Qing Huan said: "I want to see your shopkeeper, and I also ask the second brother to make it convenient." ”
Xiao Er was suspicious: "Seeing how you are dressed, you don't look like a rich boy, how can you casually take out good ginseng?" ”
Qing Huan didn't have suitable men's clothes, and she was wearing a casual look for Yahuan from the family, but she didn't expect that the little second dog in this store looked at people low, so she was judged to be a liar just because of this, but now she needs money, so she still said patiently: "The ginseng in my hand is handed down from my ancestors, and if I don't encounter difficulties, I won't sell it casually, and I also ask the little second brother to make it convenient." ”
As he was talking, an old man over half a hundred years old walked out: "What's the noise outside?" ”
The little second hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, this little boy said that someone sold ginseng to our pharmacy, and the little one was afraid that she would ask a few more questions." ”
Qing Huan glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "It's inconvenient to talk here, I wonder if the shopkeeper can find another place?" ”
The old man saw that although Qing Huan was not very rich, his eyebrows were clear, and he didn't look like a scoundrel: "Son, come with me." ”
The two entered the inner room, and the man spoke: "Childe, someone has participated in the move?" What year is ginseng? ”
Year? This Qinghuan really doesn't know, but the product of his own space must not be bad, so he took out the package from his arms, opened it slowly, and said to the man: "The color of the vintage, whether it is a good ginseng or not, you still need to see it by the shopkeeper himself." ”
