I saw a clean and tidy cemetery, an old man with snow-white hair was crying bitterly in front of a mausoleum, just looking at his background, Li Xiu could guess that this person must be Pei Ju, but this old man's face is thicker enough, and he actually came uninvited to pay tribute to Yi Niang's mother, and he cried so sadly, if people who don't know the inside story see it, I'm afraid they will mistakenly think that he really has deep feelings for Yi Niang's mother?

However, Pei Ju's hypocrisy made Yi Niang feel very angry, and her face turned from white to blue, and she wanted to step forward to expose his true face at the moment, but at this time, Li Xiu grabbed him and said: "Yi Niang, don't be impulsive, doesn't he like to cry, then let him cry, let's just wait patiently!" ”

Li Xiu was also full of sneers when he spoke, and the more he couldn't understand Pei Ju at this time, why did he play such a trick that people could see through at a glance? But if he likes to cry, let him cry, see how long he can pretend?

Yi Niang was stunned for a moment when she heard Li Xiu's words, and then nodded after hesitating, and the two of them just stood at the gate of the cemetery and waited, only to see that Pei Ju inside was indeed crying very sadly at first, but after a while, the crying was getting lower and lower, probably wondering why there was no movement behind him, and then he stopped, and then turned his head to look behind him, only to see Li Xiu and Yi Niang both looking at him with a sneer, which also made Pei Ju immediately show an embarrassed expression on his face.

However, Pei Ju deserved to be Pei Ju, the embarrassment on his face almost flashed, and then he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and said: "Yi Niang, virtuous son-in-law, you are finally here, and the old man has been waiting for a long time!" ”

"Humph!" Yi Niang saw Pei Ju's disgusting face, and turned her head away with a cold snort, she didn't want to talk to the other party at all, but for some reason, when Yi Niang turned her face, the tears in her eyes suddenly gushed out, and meeting such a father would only make her feel more sad.

Seeing that Yi Niang ignored Pei Ju, Li Xiu could only step forward helplessly, thought about it and asked deliberately: "Pei Gong has always been busy with official business, why do you have time to come here today?" ”

"The virtuous son-in-law laughed, no matter how busy he is with official business, he can't forget that today is the sacrifice day of the mother, so I specially took a day off and came to pay tribute in person!" Pei Ju said as usual, as if he didn't hear the irony in Li Xiu's words at all.

"Don't worry about it, I used to come alone, and I will only bring my husband and our children in the future!" Yi Niang finally couldn't bear it anymore when she heard this, wiped away her tears and turned around and went to her mother's grave to worship, Li Xiu also hurriedly followed, and directly put Pei Ju aside.

I saw that Yi Niang came to her mother's tomb, and directly swept aside the sacrifices that Pei Ju had placed before, and then offered her own sacrifices, and worshiped sincerely, but wiped her tears while worshipping, probably thinking of the scene when she came here to worship alone, especially now that Pei Ju is watching behind her, which makes Yi Niang feel even more aggrieved.

Li Xiu thought that Pei Ju would leave after he was bored with himself, but to his surprise, Pei Ju had been standing behind them and waiting quietly, until after the two of them finished worshipping, he still did not leave, which made Li Xiu not feel that there is really no limit to people's skin.

"Son-in-law, I have something to say to you!" Li Xiu and Yi Niang ignored Pei Ju after worshipping, and turned around and wanted to leave, but they didn't expect Pei Ju to take the initiative to stop them at this time.

"I don't think it's necessary, I still have something to do next, so I'll leave!" Li Xiu was also a little bored by Pei Ju's cheekiness, and as soon as he finished speaking, he left the cemetery with Yi Niang, there is a cause and effect, of course, Pei Ju's sins are naturally borne by himself.

It's just that when leaving, Yi Niang finally couldn't help but glance back at Pei Ju, after all, he was still her father, I saw Pei Ju also smile bitterly at this time, and his wrinkled face looked even older, especially when the mountain wind blew, which made Pei Ju's snow-white hair move with the wind, which made her feel sad.

When Li Xiu and Yi Niang went down the mountain and got into the carriage, Pei Ju on the mountain did not follow, but at this time, Yi Niang suddenly opened the car window and looked at the mountain, and there was a complicated look in her eyes.

"What's the matter, you're worried about your father?" Li Xiu saw the appearance of Yi Niang, and couldn't help but ask with concern at the moment, he can also understand Yi Niang's mood, no matter how much she hates Pei Ju, but the flesh and blood in her bones is constantly torn apart, just like Princess Pingyang and Li Yuan, although Li Yuan almost ruined her marriage, Princess Pingyang is still very concerned and filial to Li Yuan.

"I didn't ...... No! I don't care about him, I just ...... It's just that every time I used to talk to my mother, I didn't have time to talk this time. Yi Niang hurriedly denied it when she heard this, but everyone could see that she was just hard-mouthed.

Seeing the appearance of the maiden, Li Xiu smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, he was indeed a little annoyed by what Pei Ju did before, but people can't always live in anger, and although Pei Ju did everything, he didn't get any benefit from losing a daughter, but it also caused Princess Pingyang to be dissatisfied with him, although Princess Pingyang didn't do anything, but it was enough to make him frightened.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Li Xiu slowly doesn't care about the past, to put it mildly, with Pei Ju's age, I'm afraid he won't live for a few years, so he doesn't need to be angry with a dying person, maybe one day Pei Ju kicks his legs, and who will he find to spread his anger? So it's better to relax and just smile.

Of course, generosity is generosity, Li Xiu will not have a good face when he sees Pei Ju's face, and the most important thing is because of Yi Niang, her hatred for Pei Ju is much deeper than Li Xiu, as the so-called husband and wife, even if it is to take care of Yi Niang's mood, Li Xiu will not give up on Pei Ju, of course, if Yi Niang is willing to forgive Pei Ju, he will not stop him, don't look at him and his father Li Jing are so stiff, but he doesn't want Yi Niang to be the same as himself.

After returning home, Yi Niang was also a little tired, and Li Xiu personally helped her back to the bedroom to rest. Waiting until the lady was lying on the bed, and then watching Li Xiu carefully cover herself with the quilt, her originally depressed mood suddenly became cheerful, no matter how bad the background God gave her, but at least she had a mother who loved her when she was a child, and after she got married, she met a husband who loved and respected her, even if this husband needed her to share it with others, but she was already very content.

As soon as he got out of the room, he saw Yuechan coming in in a hurry, and when he saw Li Xiu, he immediately saluted and said, "Master, you are finally back, is Madame inside?" ”

Yuechan didn't wait for Li Xiu to answer after speaking, and walked directly to the bedroom, it seemed that there was something urgent, but Li Xiu grabbed her and said: "Madame is in a bad mood, she is resting inside, you can tell me something!" ”

"What's wrong with ma'am?" Yuechan also immediately asked with concern when she heard this, Yi Niang's temperament is soft, and she gets along very well with Yue Chan, so when she heard that Yi Niang was in a bad mood, she immediately became a little worried.

"It's nothing, maybe she remembered the sad thing after sweeping the grave of her mother." Li Xiu didn't tell Yuechan the truth, after all, the matter of meeting Pei Ju was related to Yi Niang's privacy, and there was no need to publicize it everywhere.

"Oh, I see!" Yuechan nodded in understanding when she heard this, and then immediately raised her head and said, "Master, I actually came to Madame to discuss the recruitment of people in the tea workshop, and after we spread the news of recruitment in the bazaar last time, many people have already come to sign up, I think this matter should be ...... in advance."

"Wait a minute, I don't object to you recruiting people to set up a tea workshop, but where is your tea workshop, you can't make tea at home after recruiting people, right?" Li Xiu interrupted Yuechan at this time and asked, in fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time, after all, the tea workshop should always have a fixed location, right?

"Of course it's not at home, how did the lord forget, the old house is still empty, although it is a little smaller, but there is open space all around, and the yard can be used by setting up a shed and a stove, and even those old houses can still live in people, if there are female workers who are far away from home, they can also live there!" When Yuechan said the end, she couldn't help but show a smug expression, anyway, the old mansion was empty, so it was better to use it.

"This ......" Li Xiu didn't know how to evaluate Yuechan's idea when he heard this, using the old mansion can save expenses to the greatest extent, but the prospect of roasted tea is very bright, with further promotion, the demand for Datang roasted tea will definitely increase, just relying on the small place of the old house, I am afraid it will be difficult to expand in the future.

"Okay, this is also a solution, but the old mansion is too small, Yuechan had better take the time to rebuild a regular roasted tea workshop, don't be afraid of spending money, the business of roasted tea in the past will only get better and better!" Li Xiu finally couldn't help but remind that they were backed by a small branch of Zhongnan Mountain, and there were many mountains near where tea trees were planted, for example, Princess Pingyang had a fairly large tea garden under her name, so there was no need to worry about the output of tea, so a big tea workshop was still necessary.

"Well, the slave and the maid have written it down, the slave and the lady are doing business for the first time, if there is anything that is not well considered, you have to help us, master!" Yuechan nodded seriously when she heard this, and then said solemnly to Li Xiu, the housekeeper of a large family must not only be able to deal with family affairs, but also deal with business matters outside, and Yuechan is also seriously learning to be a qualified housekeeper.

"Don't worry, the affairs of the family are naturally my business, if there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask me, don't always be mysterious." Li Xiu nodded, but in the end, he didn't forget to tease Yuechan and Yi Niang.

"That's great, I don't understand a lot of things now, and I want to ask the master for advice!" Hearing Li Xiu's last words, Yuechan couldn't help but stick out her tongue mischievously, and after speaking, she pulled Li Xiu to discuss recruitment.

In fact, Yuechan is almost busy with recruitment, for example, the women who want to come to work are all recorded by him with their names, ages and addresses, but because many women in Datang do not have official names, let alone these poor country women, so when Li Xiu saw the recruitment records recorded by Yuechan, he saw the names of the second girl and the third girl written in the first column.

"Master, I originally thought that twenty female workers would be enough, but now there are too many people who have signed up, and there are more than forty of them, all of whom are from the township, and I can't say if I want this or that, what can I do now?" Yi Niang pointed to the recruitment record at this time and said very distressed, she had a headache for several days for this matter.

"This is easy to do, just recruit them all!" Li Xiu smiled very easily when he heard this, he can be regarded as the number one person in the mall in the future, and this kind of trivial matter is really nothing to him.

"All recruited? But we don't need so many people at all, and the old house is so small, a maximum of twenty female workers is enough! Yuechan couldn't help but exclaim when she heard Li Xiu's words.

"Haha~, Yuechan, don't always worry about these details, the old house is small, let people build a few more sheds outside, anyway, the current weather is not afraid of freezing, in addition, after these more than 40 people are recruited, you can set up an internship period, and then evaluate according to the quantity and quality of these teas, and finally leave the best female workers, and let the others go home temporarily, after all, the skills are not as good as people, and they can't say anything!" Li Xiu explained with a smile that when it comes to the exploitation of workers, those capitalists in later generations strive for excellence, and the internship system is one of them.

"This ...... Is this really good? Yuechan is simple-hearted, and she is still a little unacceptable to this naked capital means.

"There's nothing bad about it, and didn't I say it just now, just let them go home temporarily, they learn the craft of roasting tea in the workshop, and when the workshop expands in the future, you can recruit them again, so that they are much stronger than the new hands, saving a lot of training trouble." Li Xiu explained again.

"But what if some female workers learn the craft of roasting tea and don't want to come back, but instead go to roast tea and sell it themselves?" Yuechan asked worriedly again at this time, for this kind of unique business, she is not willing to let others learn to go.

"Yuechan, if you want to promote roasted tea, it is impossible to keep the skills of roasted tea secret, and sooner or later it will be spread, but if you want to maintain our leading position, it is not impossible, for example, we can take the lead in launching the brand ......"

Li Xiu said and began to tell Yuechan some concepts about the brand, such as bean sprouts, there is no secret to this thing, every winter, the vegetable market is all selling bean sprouts, but Li Zhuangzi took the lead in starting the brand and also established a reputation, so Li Zhuangzi's bean sprouts are still the most popular, the same quality and price of bean sprouts, people just like to buy Li Zhuangzi, this is the role of the brand.

However, when Li Xiu was chatting with Yuechan about business, he suddenly saw fans running over in a panic, and when he saw Li Xiu, he immediately shouted: "Master is not good, Mrs. has an accident!" (To be continued.) )
