Chapter Seventy-Seven: Taking Care of the Shop
"You are young, and your mother is afraid that you will be deceived, it is better to let her give you a palm, and you will not go a fork in the road." Old Mrs. Su saw that Su Liluo didn't give face, so she had to coax.
Su Liluo was no longer the weak attitude he had before, and said firmly: "Grandmother, I don't need to say it anymore, the palace has been waiting to try the finished products in my granddaughter's shop, and only my granddaughter knows the prescription in the store, I will never tell others the prescription, what will my mother help me with?" ”
Mrs. Su was choked by Su Liluo, and she didn't speak for a long time, Su Liluo took advantage of the situation and continued: "Liluo believes that her mother has a rich dowry, and she doesn't care about Liluo's small industry, her mother's energy is limited, and it is more reassuring that her granddaughter will take care of this shop by herself, and grandmother doesn't have to persuade her." ”
Su Liluo's face was cold, and Mrs. Su heard her say the truth, knowing that this matter could not be done for a while, so she had to stiffen her face and said, "Okay, since you already have an idea in your heart, grandmother won't say much." ”
Su Liluo smiled and said, "Grandmother, the granddaughter will go back first, and if there is anything, the grandmother will send someone to call the granddaughter." ”
Su Liluo saluted and turned to go out, there was a trace of coldness at the corner of his mouth, and it was not until he returned to the warm room and smelled the familiar breath that Su Liluo exhaled the depression in his heart.
After that, Mrs. Su did not let Su Liluo be summoned again, and Su Liluo also treated the incident as if it had never happened, and did her own thing in the courtyard with peace of mind.
Time passed quietly at the fingertips, and soon it was the New Year, on this day, all the masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion gathered in the flower hall, there was a big round table in the center of the flower hall, and a few chairs were placed around, Prime Minister Su sat in the main seat, on the left sat Mrs. Su, and on the right was Yao Ruoshui.
Su Liluo and the others sat down on both sides in turn, Su Hong seemed to be in a good mood today, with a straight face on weekdays and a constant smile, and there were a few slaves and maids in new clothes standing around, holding the handle of the pot, and pouring wine for the masters in turn.
Su Hong picked up his wine glass and saluted Mrs. Su first, "Mother, my son respects you and thanks my mother for raising her." ”
"You child, say this with the intention of making your mother cry, your mother should protect you, and today my mother wishes you a high rise." With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Su raised her glass and saluted Su Hong.
After the mother and son finished speaking, Su Hong looked at Su Liluo, the tears in the corners of his eyes had not been wiped away, Su Liluo looked at the well-maintained Su Hong, and took the initiative to say: "Daughter, I wish my father good health and all the best." ”
Su Hong nodded and responded: "Okay, it's still close to you, and my father wishes you all the best." ”
Su Hong turned to look at Su Baizhi, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Zhi'er, I will get married next year, and my father is still a little reluctant to think of it." ”
"Since my father is reluctant, is it okay for Zhi'er to stay at home and stay with her father forever?" Su Baizhi replied delicately.
Su Hong kept a straight face, pretending to be angry, secretly happy in his heart, Su Baizhi put him in the first place in his heart, "Zhi'er is confused, how can my father keep you for a lifetime, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not allowed to come to Su Mansion to rob people." ”
"Father......" Su Baizhi blushed, turned around, and played with her little daughter's delicate temper.
Su Hongle smiled, looked at Su Baihan, and said with encouragement in his eyes: "Han'er has grown up after a year, but you have to be sensible, don't let your mother worry about you anymore." ”
Su Baihan pouted and responded cautiously: "Han'er knows." No matter how unhappy Su Baihan was in his heart, he would not disobey Su Hong's wishes on his face.
Su Hong greeted the people of Su Mansion, even the youngest Su Dongxuan received Su Hong's attention, Su Liluo lowered his head, his face was expressionless, and his father really "looked at her differently".
After the family had eaten, they went back to their respective courtyards, and the long corridor and the front of the house were hung with red lanterns covered with the word Fu, and the servants in the house had a smile on their faces, and Su Liluo found that many people had already put on new clothes.
Su Liluo returned to the courtyard and saw Mama Chang, with a smile on her face: "Mama, Liluo wishes you good health and all the best in the new year." ”
Mama Chang's eyes were red, and she couldn't stop nodding, "Okay, Mama also wishes Miss to find a good husband as soon as possible." ”
"Mama, why did you suddenly say this......" Su Liluo was still a little shy when she mentioned her marriage in front of familiar people, although she had already fantasized about the conditions of her future husband thousands of times in her heart, but it was still a little unnatural to mention it in front of everyone.
"Miss, don't be ashamed, Mama is just a little anxious, I'm afraid that the house will ......" Mama Chang was silent halfway through her words, Su Liluo's rosy cheeks slowly recovered, Mama was afraid that the house would use her marriage for other benefits.
Su Liluo shook his head, shook off those upsetting thoughts, pulled Mama Chang to sit down, and asked, "Mama, I'm going to send some New Year's silver to the yard, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, Miss is getting stronger and stronger now, and Mama is relieved to see that Miss is not bullied." Mama Chang happily watched the changes in Su Liluo, and Su Liluo was recognized by Mama Chang, and immediately asked Liuzhu to gather the people in the yard.
Liuzhu quickly came over and replied, "Miss, the slaves and maids are already waiting in the courtyard. ”
"Well, Liuzhu, you put the plates on the table, and we'll go out and hand out the silver." Su Liluo pointed to the wooden plate full of broken silver on the table, and commanded Liuzhu.
Liuzhu opened her mouth in surprise and asked, "Miss, what is this?" ”
"You'll know later, hurry up and go out with me." Su Liluo walked out in a good mood, Liuzhu didn't dare to delay, and immediately picked up the heavy plate to follow.
Standing on the steps in front of the house, Su Liluo looked at the slaves standing in several rows in his courtyard, and preached loudly: "Everyone has worked hard this year, each person will receive five taels of silver today, and do things well in the future, I will not treat you badly, Liuzhu, send the silver money on the plate." ”
The slaves and maids immediately knelt down and shouted: "Slaves and maids thank Miss for reward." ”
Su Liluo's eyes were full of warmth, and after watching Liuzhu finish distributing the silver coins on the plate, he waved his hand and said, "Disperse." ”
The slaves and maids will then express their gratitude in their hearts before retreating to do their own business.
Su Liluo walked into the house with a smile on her face, saw Mama Chang looking at her with relief, looked herself up and down a few times and asked, "What is Mama looking at?" Is there something dirty on my face? ”
"No, no, it's good that Miss is like this." Mama Chang hurriedly waved her hand, afraid that Su Liluo would misunderstand.
Su Liluo pulled Mama Chang to sit down, remembering everyone's reaction at the last palace banquet, and asked as if unintentionally: "Mama, when you talked about my mother last time, I was quite emotional in my heart, but why did I grow so big and no one talked about her?" Didn't you say that she was a great general? Isn't she known to the world? ”
Su Liluo's face was curious, and seeing that Mama Chang had a difficult look on her face, she shook her hand and urged: "Mama, just tell me, if you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep today." ”
