The Hou Mansion is still the Hou Mansion in the end, no matter how good the Hou of Guangning is, it is also the Hou Ye, and he has a temper.

In order to avoid making mistakes by himself, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't stay much in Fengle Town, chartered a carriage, and took Gu Xiangxin and Xiaoyu back to the capital together.

On the first day of arriving in the capital, Granny Bai began to put pressure on Zhao Xiaoxi. Originally, she wanted to delay the time to enter the Hou Mansion, but with Granny Bai, a big man, who had been spurring behind her back with a small leather whip, she didn't dare to slack off at all.

No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, he still entered the Hou Mansion with Xiao Jingrui.

is different from the imaginary loneliness, loneliness, coldness, and discrimination from cold eyes, those girls can move forward as soon as they see her. Especially those young girls, they like Zhao Xiaoxi, and when they saw her, they began to ask about cosmetics and skin care products, which saved a lot of embarrassment.

As for Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Yu, this was originally their home, and they were called into the study by Song Guangfu, and they didn't know what to say, and when Zhao Xiaoxi saw Xiao Jingrui again, he obviously saw the fatigue on his face.

What's going on? Could it be that the marquis forced him to seal the wolf Juxu?

The two of them entered the courtyard arranged by the Hou Ye together, which was quite big, and there was no shortage of flowers and plants. The point is that the furnishings in the house are very high-end, and they are worth a lot of money at first glance. I really have a heart, and I also prepared a relatively large dresser for Zhao Xiaoxi, and the beads and hairpins on it are all precious.

However, Zhao Xiaoxi never tinkered with these things, he only held them in his hands and looked at them for a long time, and he was straight at Xiao Jingrui, "This has entered the Hou Mansion, it doesn't seem to be as bad as I imagined, huh?" ”

"What will happen if the lady can't do the deal she wants in the future?" Xiao Jingrui asked a little cautiously, looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's face, "Lady, according to the meaning of the Hou Ye, you want me to enter the court as an official." ”

Hou Ye? Xiao Jingrui still hasn't changed his words, I don't know what kind of mood Guangning Hou felt when he heard that his son only called himself "Hou Ye". However, if you are an official, it is indeed a good choice for a gentleman.

But Xiao Jingrui is an official, what does it have to do with her Zhao Xiaoxi? Naturally, she was reluctant to give up her old job. How good is it to be able to make money, and still live without relying on the Hou Mansion?

"If you become an official, I won't stop you, so why can't I do business?" Zhao Xiaoxi tilted his head and looked at her curiously, expressing his incomprehension, "Didn't Granny Bai say before, I can do business?" said that Hou Ye also agreed. ”

"If I become an official and you become the wife of an official, you can't."

Even if you are doing business and want to make a few silver, you can't put everything on the bright side. In the end, in the capital, no matter what you do, you can't be so free, once you tell the truth, it is easy to have an accident.

Ordinary officials are not as good as Xiangguo. Even if it's Xiangguo, it's not a restaurant or something like that. But according to Zhao Xiaoxi's thoughts, he will definitely make his own business bigger and bigger in the future. Now there are a few people who don't know Zhao Xiaoxi? How many of them don't know the cards of hope? If even Xiao Jingrui enters the court as an official in the future, then Zhao Xiaoxi will have to make some sacrifices after all.

Hearing Xiao Jingrui say this, Zhao Xiaoxi's heart was cold.

She didn't want to do that kind of thing to teach her husband to find a marquis. It's just that she is not sure about Xiao Jingrui's thoughts, if this man is very willing to be an official, why is she embarrassed to stop her?

"What does that mean?"

"I'm going to do business with my lady, right?" Xiao Jingrui touched Zhao Xiaoxi's little head, and seeing her so nervous, she knew what she thought, "I have already told Master Hou that we will do business together." ”

"Really?" Zhao Xiaoxi's eyes widened in disbelief, and his little face flushed, "This is your future, you have to think about it." Once you miss this opportunity, maybe you can really only be a trader like me in the future. Speaking of which, it is indeed not as expensive as the Beijing official. ”

"Having a Hou Ye as a father is already expensive enough, isn't it?"

is like Song Zizhe, I don't know how nervous I am at this time, for fear that Xiao Jingrui will become an official. After all, the person who will inherit the official rank of Hou Ye in the future can only be one person.

Seeing Xiao Jingrui let go like this, Zhao Xiaoxi's heart warmed, this was basically a choice made for her.

In order to thank Xiao Jingrui for his contribution, Zhao Xiaoxi began to tinker with new products again.

There is a special pastry chef in the Hou Mansion, not to mention that the things made are all good. If you want to find fault and say one or two bad points, it is that the taste is too sweet and not refreshing enough.

In order to make better snacks and pastries, so that Song Guangfu felt that she was not a little village woman with little knowledge, Zhao Xiaoxi thought of Nagasaki cake.

Nagasaki cake is a pastry that Zhao Xiaoxi used to eat, and after eating too much, he will make a little bit by himself, and the ingredients are all clear. She has now ordered dozens of packs on Taobao and distributed them to the girls around her, Xiao Yu and the pastry chef in the Hou Mansion.

They all gave Zhao Xiaoxi a thumbs up without exception, thinking that this was Zhao Xiaoxi's doing!

"It's delicious." Xiao Yu is now receiving the grace of the Hou Ye, and Zhao Xiaoxi has very little time to see him every day. Seeing that he was happy to eat at this time, Zhao Xiaoxi had the feeling of happiness that his family had in Fengle Town.

"Xiao Yu likes it?"

"I like it." Xiao Yu threw herself into Zhao Xiaoxi's arms and rubbed her little face, "The things made by my mother are delicious." ”

Really good at talking, Zhao Xiaoxi happily touched his little head and nodded, "Then it's okay to make it for Xiaoyu every day?" ”

"My mother is busy, so I can't be too tired." Xiao Baozi is still very sensible, stretched out his hand to hug Zhao Xiaoxi, and said happily, "As long as Xiaoyu can see his mother every day, it would be good." ”

is really a good child, the girl next to her was very emotional when she saw this scene, and knew that it must be Zhao Xiaoxi who loved the child very much, so that this doll was so attached to her mother. Although Zhao Xiaoxi is a farmer, she is very cultivated in her behavior and can do a lot of things, and she is rare for big guys.

Especially the girl Wu'er, who served Zhao Xiaoxi closely, was even more affectionate and considerate to her, "Young lady, I have never eaten such a delicious snack." ”

"It's delicious." Zhao Xiaoxi was happy and touched his little nose, "You have always lived in the capital, I thought you didn't like such a thing!" ”

"How so?" Wu'er licked her lips and smiled contentedly, "We have heard for a long time that the dim sum sold in Mrs. Wu's shop is all from the Hope brand, that is, the young lady, you make it." ”

Those dim sum are deeply liked by the big guys, and Wu'er is no exception.

Being touted by the big guy like this, Zhao Xiaoxi became more and more shy, and slowly opened a piece of Nagasaki cake, with a happy light on his face. If you improve it to make it taste better, wouldn't the big guys be happier to eat?

There is a thin layer of paper on top, and when you remove it, you can see a whole piece of Nagasaki cake that looks like it's covered in moss. There is also a layer of coffee-colored cake crust on the tissue paper, and the big guys also follow Zhao Xiaoxi's example, and pull the crust clean and eat it in their stomachs.

If you add honey to it, the taste will be doubled. In order to make the cake more delicious, Zhao Xiaoxi will let the big guys eat it with tomato sauce. Tomato sauce is a new product along with Nagasaki cake, and the big guys have no resistance to this sweet and sour thing. Eating it together can give people an indescribable taste experience.

In the past, Zhao Xiaoxi liked to drink miso soup, and the Nagasaki cake with milk was particularly rich, compared to a certain sweet, rich miso. This sweetness is also unpleasant, just right. In addition, the feeling of satiety is relatively strong, so it can be eaten as an early meal.

If you're a little busy, you can bring a few pieces with you in case you need them.

Because Nagasaki cakes are delicious, easy to carry, and cheap, they have become popular.

Since there is no cake shop in the capital, there is no way to operate it in large quantities, so Zhao Xiaoxi told Guan Lingyue that before the cake shop of the Hope brand is opened in the capital, she will have to trouble the pastry chef under her hands. Naturally, the wages are also easy to say.

In the capital, Zhao Xiaoxi has no friends, so he can only chat with Wu'er and them. In the past few days, because of the cake, I can meet Guan Lingyue every day, and I can only talk to her about a lot of things.

"It should be pretty good in the Hou Mansion, right?" Guan Lingyue personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xiaoxi, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, and her expression was gentle, "The left minister has fallen, and now the most beautiful people in the court are the right minister and the Marquis of Guangning." ”

"I don't know, I rarely see Master Hou." Zhao Xiaoxi was also embarrassed to call the big guy "father-in-law" and "father-in-law", so he simply called him Hou Ye like Xiao Jingrui.

"Once you are a proud person in officialdom, you must be very busy." Guan Lingyue seemed to be very experienced, and her smile grew, "Your brother Rui is a son-in-law, and you can also be the Marquis of Guangning in the future." ”

This is an inheritance system, and with a little talent, you will definitely be able to become a big official.

"My father-in-law said that he would do business with me."

As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Wu was even more surprised. This is obviously better to be an official, why do you want to do business! Naturally, if Xiao Jingrui entered the imperial court and became an official, Zhao Xiaoxi would not be so arrogant and upright even if he wanted to do business.

For example, their Wu family is just a small business, relying on the mother in the harem, and then acting in a low-key manner, which has been done for so many years. But Zhao Xiaoxi's reputation is far-reaching, and there are many industries, unless he makes up his mind to stop doing it, Xiao Jingrui will indeed not be able to enter the court as an official.

"No wonder the big guys say that Brother Rui spoils his wife? It's nice that I don't even want my own future. ”
