Chapter 65 Lonely Smoke, You Must Be Strong

……

Mid-March.

The spring rain will wash the whole capital with a new look, a fresh and refreshing one. Not far from the Forbidden City Square in the south of the city, there is a five-storey wooden building with exquisite workmanship.

Cai Guyan leaned over the window, his eyes were like a light rain outside the window, as if covered with a faint layer of mist. Through the spring rain, I looked at the silhouette of the magnificent and majestic group of buildings. The pretty face that is no longer without makeup and with a touch of rouge is dyed with an indescribable sense of loneliness.

She was completely different from a few months ago when she was dressed in plain clothes, at this time she was covered in Luo clothes, her demeanor was light and delicate, and the faint charm of a young woman made her look a little graceful and luxurious. It's as if she was born to be in this kind of life, without the slightest sense of estrangement. Compared with before, it is even more coquettish, weak and coveted.

It's been almost a month since I heard from him. Cai Guyan's eyes looked at him stupidly, and he couldn't help but think of him a month ago, in this purple qi Donglai Pavilion that only he can use now, he was slightly drunk, but he pretended to be strong and took away his first Ye strongly. As soon as he thought of his first day, Cai Guyan couldn't help but feel a sense of misery in his heart, and it was okay to be sold by his father who was a gambling drunkard to a man from Beijing as his wife. But after she got married, she realized that her husband was a tuberculosis ghost. bought her as a wife, also for Chongxi. Whoever wants to be happy and doesn't rush to it, when he gets married, that person will die. The unreasonable abuse of her mother-in-law's family and the disappearance of her alcoholic father, she resigned herself to her fate. And the so-called rich in-laws are just an ordinary family in the capital, and they have long been hollowed out in order to pay for their son's medical treatment and daughter-in-law.

At a young age, in order to make a living, she could only go out to do her old job and sell tofu flowers. But she was selling and selling, and the business was very good, but she found that many people were just coming for her. For a while, the three aunts and six women who loved to have a quarrel began to chew the root of their tongues. As if it had to ruin her reputation. As a result, Cai Guyan became more and more indifferent, and almost never agreed to talk to anyone. But Rao is like this, after going back, the jealous mother-in-law will still beat and scold her often. But even so, he was reluctant to give Cai Guyan the hard-earned money he earned every day.

As the days passed, Cai Guyan didn't know that he would end up until that day. During this period, she encountered countless storms and butterflies, but fortunately, thanks to the care of General Liu Xiao, who was still young at the time, she slowly gained a firm foothold in the street stalls.

It wasn't until he appeared for the second time that it completely changed her life. He's so tough, he's domineering, and he doesn't even reason with you. Like a robber, he dragged her away alive. He also sent someone to use extremely strong means to get down this restaurant and let himself run it well. Then, after being drunk, he violated her strongly.

Cai Guyan knew that she was not qualified to hate him, but at this time, she still hated him in her heart. But in my heart, I was faintly reluctant to give up on him. What she knows is that from the mouths of those dignitaries in the restaurant recently, she often hears the news of those talking about the topic. Knowing that the world is very chaotic today, not only are the mobs in the two provinces in turmoil, but Liaodong is also very unstable. After a while, either someone said that the mob was about to hit the capital, or someone said that the Houjin Tartars had already crossed the Great Wall and Shanhaiguan. It was as if I had heard that Liu Chao, the leader of the eunuch party, was a perverted old eunuch with strong martial arts, and he broke out and injured the emperor in the Jinluan Palace. There was also a message saying that the ministers wanted to secretly unite to rebel and overthrow the current faint king.

In short, he must be having a headache and being busy right now. It's no wonder that he hasn't been to his side for a month. He must be working hard right now. Cai Guyan secretly helped him find a reason. When he is done with this, he will definitely come back to visit him.

From that night of his, the fierce and domineering zhan had her. He announced at that time that she was already his woman. But she had been at the bottom of her life for so long, and she knew very well that with her origin and identity, she would never have the opportunity to enter that majestic and majestic complex to live in.

is just a mistress he spends money on outside, and he can't be on the stage. There is no light to be seen. Otherwise, it will definitely have a great negative impact on his reputation.

Mistress? Even if it is a mistress, she wants to be the best mistress. To be a mistress who will help him a lot and be of great use. In this way, he will think of himself from time to time. Lone smoke, you must be strong, she said to herself every night and night.

The 200,000 taels of silver he gave himself, because of Shen Jiabao's methods, only spent 50,000 taels to buy this restaurant in the end. It happened to be in the peak season again, and with her diligence and studiousness, she quickly adapted to the role of the hotel owner. If you don't understand something, you can learn little by little, even if it is every night and every night. In just over three months, it almost made her reborn. Not only did he rely on the increasingly prosperous business of the restaurant, but he also saved a lot of money. I also learned a lot of things. And she originally had some foundation, and the gambler father in the family was also a person with some status before he was down. No matter how she counts, she is a young lady, so she naturally has the opportunity to learn literacy.

What she had left behind for many years was picked up by her again. From the account room to the kitchen, everything is transparent to her. Maybe the account office dared to do some tricks at first, but after three months, no one in the entire restaurant could fool her.

Perhaps, she was born to be a piece of business material. Among the restaurants, especially this extremely high-end restaurant, the guests are all people who are both rich and noble. Often between words, some news will be inadvertently revealed.

In fact, as soon as she finished the New Year in solitude, she vaguely heard that there seemed to be chaos in many places in the south, and I am afraid that this year will not be peaceful. And she linked to the reduction of grain production after the two major disasters last year and skyrocketed a lot, at that time just a flash of inspiration in her head, she felt that this year's food would definitely rise again, and at that time, there was just 150,000 silver taels left on hand, and he also sent another 200,000 taels, and then a restaurant for more than half a month of profits, a total of 400,000 silver taels.

After thinking about it one night, she decided to take a big gamble. Find a few extraordinarily smart guys in a restaurant, plus the people he called to protect him. Secretly, I found a few large warehouses on the edge of the capital, and secretly desperately bought grain. It's only been half a month, like a madman, he spent all the 400,000 taels, and the purchase price is just high and low. But a total of 900,000 quintals of grain were received.

However, I don't know if it's because of her crazy purchases, or because the price of food really began to rise, food prices began to rise slowly. After the mob in Shandong and Henan, and the invasion of the barbarians in Liaodong, the two major news were really confirmed, the price of grain began to go crazy......

To this day, she has to sell her 900,000 quintals of grain, and she can get at least one million taels of silver. Many people wanted to eat the grain, but she refused. Because she got the news, it seems that his army, also short of food!
