Chapter 18 There are beautiful women in Youzhou
No one in this world can live without anyone, and everyone else will turn without the earth.
However, since Xu Yang left, Liu Mengli's world began to stop.
In the past, Liu Mengli liked to look at flowers and plants in the boudoir yard, and she never got bored of looking at it for a long time. But now, as soon as she looked up and saw the flowers and plants in the yard, Xu Yang appeared in front of her eyes squatting there with grass roots in his mouth.
[Brother Xu Yang, what are you looking at? γ
[Oh, I'm studying the plants of the Tang Dynasty to see if they have changed much after more than a thousand years of evolution] Xu Yang said with a ruffian in his mouth
Thinking of this, Liu Mengli couldn't sit still anymore, her eyes were wet, she missed Brother Xu Yang so much.
Pushing open the door under the attic, I walked out of the yard, and there was a delicate pink bicycle at the entrance of the courtyard, but the pink paint had peeled off a lot, and it looked very mottled and vicissitudes.
Liu Mengli stroked the bicycle, looking at the slightly rusty chain, and didn't know what she was thinking about writing.
"Miss, are you alright?" Xin'er on the side asked with some concern, since Young Master Xu Yang left, Miss Liu is such a picture of not thinking about tea, not wanting to eat, and not being able to sleep at night.
The doctor came to see him three times, and said that it was caused by worry, and he prescribed a few prescriptions to calm the mind and then threw down the sentence "heart disease still needs heart medicine" and left.
The head of the family is also very anxious, but there is no way to be in a hurry, Youzhou is so far away from Chang'an, you can't send the young lady over.
"Xin'er, it's been two months, didn't you say that you could receive the letter in a month and a half?" Liu Mengli stared at the bicycle and asked in a daze.
"Miss, Chang'an is too far away from Youzhou, sometimes our Liu family's caravan has to go for more than a month, maybe Young Master Xu's letter is on the way now." Xin'er was relieved, but she also had no bottom in her heart, I heard that it only takes three days to rush eight hundred miles from Youzhou in Chang'an Road, and the general envoy who carries the letter can make a round trip in less than a month, which has been two months, and there is not even any news, Young Master Xu Yang is really, I don't know if there is a lovely person at home waiting for him to return?
"I want to walk around the house." Liu Mengli said weakly, she has been in the boudoir for more than a month and has not gone downstairs.
"Okay, the slave maid is called Fang'er, Hua'er, Wen'er, and a few of them serve the young lady's mansion." When Xin'er heard that Miss wanted to visit the mansion, she was immediately overjoyed, and what she was most afraid of was that Miss was alone in the attic looking at the poems written by Xu Yang and shedding tears alone.
There are a total of six maids serving Liu Mengli, two of them are kept for shifts, and the others live in the small buildings on both sides of the attic every day, during this time Liu Mengli hates to serve too many people, which is also learned from Xu Yang, she never hated people before, and later saw that Xu Yang only had one Liu Qixi, Liu Mengli also chose a Xin'er as a personal maid, and the other maids were sent in the attic, and there was nothing to embroider in the attic.
Soon, Fang'er, Hua'er, and Wen'er all arrived, and they were all very curious, and the young lady was finally willing to take steps downstairs.
A group of women embraced Liu Mengli out of the pavilion, and walked towards the Liu family's garment workshop, through five or six doors, they saw the garment shop, the glass of the garment shop was shining from a distance, it looked very beautiful, Liu Mengli ordered Xin'er to open the door of the garment shop, and saw a huge garment shop empty, and there was no longer the lively scene of dozens of female workers sewing clothes here a few months ago.
Xin'er hurriedly explained: "When Xu Gongzi left, he told Master SΓΉ to stop the garment factory first, so these female workers who weave clothes are now divided into fried tea shops and restaurants. β
For Xu Yang's words, Liu Dongliang, the head of the Liu family, is resolutely implemented, he is full of trust in this future son-in-law, Xu Yang asked him to stop the garment factory, he didn't even ask to stop, of course, the garment factory has invested a lot of money but has not started to make money This aspect is not known for the reason.
When Xu Yang left, it was because he found that the Tang Dynasty people still had a lot of attention to dressing, and many modern clothes could only be toys and dance clothes in their eyes, and they could not be worn on weekdays.
Looking at the empty hall, Liu Mengli sighed, turned around and walked out, Xin'er hurriedly closed the door of the factory, she didn't want Miss to see such a depressed scene.
Walk a few dozen steps from the garment workshop to the front yard, the front yard is now hot, the entire front yard has been transformed into a large roasted tea base, where dozens of women wave shovels to fry tea, and young people in brocade and green robes patrol in front of each cauldron, as if inspecting their own territory.
The young man in the brocade robe picked up some fried tea leaves from the plate, put them in front of his nose and asked, with a displeased look, it was obvious that he was old, but there was no way, the demand for tea was too great now, and the output of roasted tea in turns every day was not in supply, and he couldn't ask too much for these women.
As soon as he turned around and was about to go to the house to drink saliva, he saw a woman in a pink robe standing at the front door surrounded by warblers and swallows.
Hurriedly stepped forward and took two steps, Zhou Duan knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The villain Zhou Duan has seen Mrs. Xu." β
"Phew, how do you speak, our young lady hasn't married Xu Gongzi yet, as a person invited by Gongzi, you also have to take care of your mouth." Xin'er retorted sharply, but she couldn't let people take advantage of her own young lady.
Liu Mengli likes others to call her Mrs. Xu the most, only at this time will she feel that she has a connection with Brother Xu Yang, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, Zhou Duan, since Brother Xu Yang appreciates you, you have to work diligently, and neither my brother nor the Liu family will treat you badly, do you understand?" β
Zhou Duan knelt on the ground and knocked his head, and said, "The villain swears to repay the grace of the lord." β
Bidding farewell to the roasted tea shop in Zhou Duan, Liu Mengli's mood was obviously much better, and Xin'er was also relieved to see it, Miss is the best like this, there is nothing unhappy, I really hope that Xu Gongzi will come back soon.
Out of the roasted tea workshop, a group of people went to the brewery, now the scale of the brewery is more than five times larger than before, it is the fastest growing one of all the industries of the Liu family, the reputation of the 'Kouzijiao' spread all over the world, and now those big families near Youzhou are invited to dinner, if there are no more than a dozen bottles of 'Kouzijiao' are embarrassed to invite others to eat.
But the brewery was too noisy, full of people's voices, the sound of boiling water, the sound of distillation, and the sound of washing, mixed into a huge noise, Liu Mengli stayed for a while and couldn't stand it, and left the brewery under the service of the maid.
"It's too noisy here, and the old lady is always reluctant to move this brewery out of the Liu family, saying that it is the way of life of the descendants of the Liu family for a hundred years, and it can't be learned by outsiders." Xin'er grumbled and complained.
"Okay, Xin'er, these are all inventions by Brother Xu Yang, if you can move out, you won't move out." Liu Mengli was really poisoned too deeply, and she didn't leave Xu Yang in three sentences.
"Yes." Slaves and maids have to listen to their masters, and Xin'er also understands this truth very well.
When I left the brewery, my whole ears were cleared.
Xin'er asked: "Miss, where are you going to go shopping, our family has no place to go now, the glass workshop has been moved outside the city, the back garden is gone, if you want to go shopping, you can only go out of the city, I heard that the stadium outside the city has been built very tall, why don't we go and see?" β
As soon as Liu Mengli wanted to agree, she heard a sound from the direction of the back garden, "Touch!" The muffled sound startled everyone for a while.
When she reacted, Xin'er Nunu said: "This is the third time this month, I heard that something is being studied under the ground in the back garden, saying that it is someone from Xu Gongzi's faction, and the master will not let us ask more, I heard that it is related to the mountain god playing drums." β
As soon as she heard Xin'er finish speaking, Liu Mengli knew that she was studying gunpowder, and Xu Yang told her that the most powerful thing that human beings in this world could achieve was gunpowder.
"Xin'er, don't go there, it's dangerous there." Liu Mengli persuaded her, and Xin'er nodded.
Just as Liu Mengli was about to take the maid out to the stadium to see how the construction was going, suddenly a bald man walked over outside the courtyard, Liu Mengli thought hard, and suddenly rushed out of the door regardless of several maids.
Because she remembered that the big man's name was Biao Daguang.
