Chapter 38 Business Classics
After Aunt Chang left, there were two people left in the house, Su Chenghai and Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunuan seemed to have something to say to Su Chenghai, and ordered Tong'er Man'er to guard outside the door, and there was no need to add even tea. Only Liao's mother brought a plate of tea rice fruits with a tall fruit plate, put it on the coffee table, and hurriedly retreated.
Qin Yunuan smiled warmly, and pointed to the plate of five-color tea rice fruits: "Cousin, remember this snack, when I was a child, this was your and my favorite food, for this, we had a quarrel, now you taste it, see if it is still the original taste." ”
The corners of Su Chenghai's mouth turned up together, this is a sincere smile: "It's really been too long, I can't really remember it." ”
Qin Yunuan didn't say much, only stretched out her pure hand and sandwiched a piece in the small porcelain plate for Su Chenghai, and said with a smile: "Taste it." ”
Just as Su Chenghai was slowly savoring, Qin Yunuan then said, "Today's matter, Yunuan still has to thank my cousin again." ”
Su Chenghai swallowed the tea rice fruit made of sweet glutinous rice in his mouth, looked up and smiled: "You have thanked you twice." ”
"It doesn't hurt even if Xie repeats it many times," Qin Yunuan said, "In fact, the real Boss Yuan has already left the capital, and Mama Qiao has never signed any agreement with Boss Yuan for these things of stealing chickens and dogs, if it weren't for my cousin's bluff, he sent someone to pretend to be Boss Yuan at will, and handed over the detailed accounts to his father, I'm afraid that my plan would really drag Aunt Chang down." If there was no letter, and the account books were all "burned", the sufferers would naturally be Aunt Liu and Aunt Chang, who had difficulty arguing.
"That's all your idea," Su Chenghai put down his chopsticks, tilted his head slightly, as if looking at a piece of Jingdezhen white porcelain, and looked at Qin Yunuan with an appreciative gaze, "Just by a big red wedding dress on Ye San's hand, you can see Dou Qing'e's ambition, when I was asked to prepare a water-red wedding dress, I secretly inquired about the news of Boss Yuan of the grocery store, and approached step by step, until I guessed Dou Qing'e's overall plan, so as to respond to all changes, the so-called praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches are behind, this is the truth," The corners of Su Chenghai's mouth gradually swelled with an appreciative smile, "Dou Qing'e thinks that she can take charge of the housekeeping again, it all depends on her deliberate calculations, but as everyone knows, in fact, behind the scenes, you are also helping her." ”
"That's right," Qin Yunuan didn't seem to expect that Su Chenghai had already seen her plan so thoroughly, "If she worships the Buddha with peace of mind and doesn't secretly cause so many incidents in the mansion, maybe I won't do it so desperately, I'm afraid, by the time she realizes that taking charge of the house is just the beginning of her new round of nightmares, it's too late." ”
Suddenly, Qin Yunuan suddenly felt cold in her heart, scheming, conspiracy, calculation, these are all things she tried to avoid in her previous life, what's wrong with living safely, but it wasn't until she died in a sedan chair that she realized that she was born in such a mansion, these things could not be avoided, and now, she is full of trickery and planning, such a self......
"Am I terrible? Like a wicked woman? Qin Yunuan asked Su Chenghai tentatively.
"No," Su Chenghai heard the caution in Qin Yunuan's words, and at this time, she seemed to have a different charm, "I appreciate you like this." ”
When it was noon, Qin Yunuan had a chance to rest, and Liao's mother and Man'er were guarding the door, for fear that the three girls who had been tired for a day would be disturbed in the slightest. But Qin Yunuan didn't sleep well, in just three hours, she would always think of the fire in her previous life, when the Begonia Courtyard was on fire, Qin Yunuan clearly smelled the breath of white phosphorus, so she could conclude that the charcoal was moved, Liao's mother only praised that her sense of smell was really more sensitive than others, but she didn't know that the fire burned the wooden beams accompanied by the smell of white phosphorus, the reason why she was familiar with it was precisely because this smell was the smell of death for her, and she remembered it clearly and profoundly.
But she also remembered that in her previous life, there was an arm tattooed with a black unicorn that reached into the fire to save herself, and she never expected to meet the owner of this arm in this life, and it was already the greatest happiness to be able to live safely and live well.
When he woke up in a daze, it was already sunset, and when Man'er came in with hot water, he happened to see Qin Yunuan get up.
"The third girl is sweating a lot," Man'er said worriedly while twisting the wet handkerchief, "Is it a nightmare?" ”
Qin Yunuan shook her head, she couldn't tell Man'er, she dreamed of the scene before her death in her previous life, drank half a sip of warm water, Qin Yunuan looked up and asked Man'er, "Is there any news about the things I asked you about before?" ”
Man'er naturally didn't forget that her girl asked her to inquire about the relationship between General Leng and Young Master Cousin, but she just ......
"General Leng's whereabouts are very graspable, and recently General Leng seems to be busy with the assassination of the eldest prince by the Yu Party of Eastern Qin, and there is nothing unusual about the rest, but it is the young master," Man'er lowered his voice and said, "A sister who was waiting in the wing room and I had no intention of talking about it, the young master does not rest in the mansion every night, and besides, there seem to be a few more bottles of ointment in the young master's room recently, the slave maid thought, the young master is only afraid that he has been injured in something." ”
"That's enough." Qin Yunuan wiped his forehead with a wet towel that was oozing a layer of dense sweat, Leng Changxi was cautious, he couldn't find anything, Su Chenghai helped himself again and again for free, at least it proved that he had no ill will towards him, and in the future, he could only take one step at a time.
After a while, Liao's mother also came in, and also brought Qin Yunuan to ask her to help inquire, but looking at Liao's mother's slightly worried look, it seemed that the result was not good.
"The slave maid found Aunt Yang's good sister Chungu in the embroidery village according to the girl's instructions, and asked her to inquire about whether she was willing to cooperate with the three girls' merchants, she replied today that many merchants liked the three girls' embroidery very much, but as soon as they heard the three girls' ideas, they were scared away, only one person was a little interested, but his condition was that he wanted to have an interview with the three girls."
Interview?
In her previous life, Qin Yunuan only relied on selling embroidery privately to earn some loose money to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Baochuan, but in this life, she has a bigger plan, especially after seeing that Su Chenghai only relied on some materials transported from Eastern Qin to make a million profits, the idea of relying on merchants to save money grew more and more in Qin Yunuan's mind, if she had enough silver, even if she was defeated in the future confrontation with Dou Qing'e, or even if she was driven out of the Qin family, she could live with Baochuan without worry.
It's a pity that the merchant pays the capital and silver, and she is responsible for the embroidery patterns and styles This idea is so ridiculous in everyone's eyes, just want to rely on some colorful embroidery patterns to share thirty percent of the profits, and the empty gloves white wolf is not this method, therefore, Liao's mother has helped Qin Yunuan inquire for a while, and finally a slightly interested person appeared, but the interview seems to be a little difficult for Qin Yunuan.
"Third girl, I think it's better to forget it," Liao's mother said worriedly, "Madame returned to power yesterday, and she must be keeping an eye on the girl at this time, if she is caught by Madame, I'm afraid Madame will take advantage of the topic and get out of control." ”
"No," Qin Yunuan made up her mind, "If you don't go, it's too insincere, as for how to meet, I have my own arrangements." ”
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the second day, a cyan four-wheeled carriage slowly drove out of the alley at the back door of the Taiwei Mansion, and the thick curtain covered the carriage tightly, so that it was completely impossible to see the situation inside, without too many gorgeous decorations, and without the maids and mothers-in-law following, it quietly drove out of Qingshui Lane and went straight to the most prosperous East Street.
It seems that because the carriage was in too much of a hurry, neither the person in the carriage nor the coachman noticed the two men who had been following the carriage as light as a swallow, and after the two men were sure that the carriage drove out of the alley, they glanced at each other, turned around, and ran directly back to Cuixuan Courtyard to report the news.
"Third girl, it's here." Huang Dashi, who was driving the car, was the son of Liao's mother, and he was a person worth trusting.
Qin Yunuan stepped down the steps from the carriage, the goose-yellow floor-to-ceiling smoke skirt looked more and more elegant, although the face was covered with white veil, but the dignified and refined temperament exuded by the whole body still attracted many passers-by to glance back, Qin Yunuan looked up at the bronzing signboard on the first floor of the capital, this is right.
"My girl came from afar, she was not accustomed to the water and soil, she had some rashes, and she couldn't see people, you can find us a quiet seat, don't let others disturb the purity of our girl." Huang Dashi skillfully instructed Xiao Er to find a second-floor seat for Qin Yunuan.
The shopkeeper quickly made a cup of tea for Qin Yunuan, with a little sympathy in his eyes, looking at this temperament is an extremely gentle lady, and he doesn't know if this rash will leave a scar.
Qin Yunuan ordered two simple side dishes, Huang Dashi kept guard at the door very dutifully, the afternoon sun shone into the house from the pane very kindly, reflecting a short light and shadow, just when the light and shadow grew so long, someone knocked on the door.
"Third girl, it's me." This is the voice of Aunt Chun, "Boss Shen is also here." ”
The door "creaked" open, the first to come is the Yang family's former good sister Chungu, about forty years old, slightly fat, hair combed bright, it seems that life is not bad, a pair of embroidered shoes have been worn thin, it seems that it is often errands, listen to Liao's mother said, this Chungu hand frostbite aggravated, can no longer lift the needle, so she started to match people, said matchmaker, helper, do everything, quite a wide range of contacts, it seems that I look for her, it is not wrong.
And the so-called Boss Shen of Chungu looks like he is only in his early twenties, he is born with a talent, bright eyes and bright teeth, and a pair of sword eyebrows like blades on his handsome face, at a glance, it gives people a refreshing and capable feeling, and a scarlet dress is very eye-catching, Qin Yunuan is the first time to see a man who can control such a scarlet dress so gracefully.
Chun Gu introduced with a smile: "This is Boss Shen, who is from Jiangnan, and now he is coming to the capital to expand his family's business to the capital." ”
