Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Second Room
Cai was taken away by the men of the Criminal Department in a wail. Su Lao Taijun learned from Su Jianwu that Su Jianwu led troops to Jiangxi to suppress bandits, Cai and her father had already colluded with the mountain bandits, and after learning that the emperor's Qin faction was a famous Su general, they expected that the mountain bandits would not escape death.
So the officials and bandits colluded to Su Jianwu to put on a big show, Cai's first time he saw Su Jianwu, he secretly promised that she was pretended to be kidnapped by several mountain bandits as a hostage, Su Jianwu saved her, and killed the only remaining bandits on the mountain by the way, since then the mountain bandits have not appeared again, Su Jianwu thought that the task was successfully completed, and returned home.
And Cai's excuse to repay the grace of saving his life, followed all the way back to Su Mansion. After that, Mrs. Su knew about it.
She has always looked down on Cai's family, just because Cai's birth was low, but she didn't expect that her son was calculated from the beginning, and this matter was also known by the emperor, Su Jianwu's heroic name has been hung for most of his life, and at this time, this kind of oolong incident occurred, Su Lao Taijun was heartbroken, and he fell ill in anger.
Su Jianwu looked for many doctors to come and see, but to no avail. In desperation, he wrote a letter asking his younger brother Sun Jianbin's family to return home.
In the early years, Su Jianbin's family lived in Su Mansion, Youjia Shuning left, after Cai's took power, Cai's family spent too much money in the house, and tried his best to drive the second room to Yecheng next door.
But Mrs. Su's body has to be taken care of.
Su Jianbin's family arrived in only two days, Su Jianbin was wearing a water-blue robe, his face was dusty, and he looked a little tired, but his handsome color was no worse than Su Jianwu.
He got off the carriage first, and Mrs. Su had to come to the door to pick him up in person, and when he saw the figure of his second son, his eyes turned red in an instant.
"Bin'er"
"Hey, mother." Su Jianbin called happily, didn't rush over, but turned around and lifted the curtain, and there were two more slim figures on the carriage.
"Grandmother!" The two girls raised their hands at the same time to greet Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su was so happy that she couldn't wait, so she was supported by Weaving and Embroidery, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up. The two girls got out of the carriage, and before they could speak, another voice behind them said:
"Yo, why did you let the old lady pick it up herself? Why, the head of the family doesn't dare to come out to meet people. ”
The woman was dressed in bright red clothes, her voice was sharp when she spoke, and her eyes seemed to be shining, sweeping all the people standing in front of the gate of Sufu.
The corners of Su Ningxue's mouth were slightly hooked, this must be Su Jianbin's wife, Liu. In the last life, Su Ningxue left the house early and did not have much contact with this Liu, but I heard that this was a master who was not easy to mess with, and even the Cai family was a little afraid of her, not because she could say it with this mouth, but also because she ......
"Qian'er, you're back too." Mrs. Su likes this daughter-in-law.
She smiled happily, she didn't keep the second family, she thought that Liu Yunqian would not take care of her as an old woman in the future, but she didn't expect that she would have something to do here, and the second family came non-stop.
"Hey, old lady, what are you crying about? I, Liu Yunqian, had the courage to carry my baggage, and I never worried that there would be no day when I would come back. Liu stepped forward, helped Mrs. Su, and wiped her tears for Mrs. Su.
Liu's two daughters, Su Ningyou, and Su Ningrui also obediently held Mrs. Su from left to right.
At a glance, people are happy with the family, and the big house family standing at the door, Su Jianwu, Su Zhe, Su Ningxue, and Su Ningyu seem to be redundant.
"Big brother, long time no see." Su Jianbin walked over and saluted Su Jianwu slightly.
He doesn't have the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he doesn't know anything about elegant things, so he has been relying on business to maintain his family all these years, and at this time he is standing face to face with Su Jianwu, although the two are three years apart, they look like he is older when they look closely.
"Su Zhe has seen the second uncle."
"Yu'er has seen the second uncle."
"Who is this?" Su Jianbin smiled at Su Zhe and Su Ningyu, his eyes fell on Su Ningxue, Su Ningxue stepped forward slightly, bowed to Su Jianbin Yingying, and bowed to Liu who had just walked behind him.
"Su Ningxue has seen the second uncle and the second aunt."
"Snow?" Su Jianbin looked at Su Jianwu, or Liu's quick reaction, chuckled, and said without caring about Su Jianwu's face: "Yo, it's Shuning's child, right?" Oh, it was fast to send people back then, but now that people are gone, you pick up the children and come back very quickly. How? If you find that what you gave birth to is not useful, you will pick up what others have born and raise it. ”
"Qian'er!" Su Jianbin glared at Liu, turned back to Su Jianwu and said, "Big brother, don't mind, she is open-mouthed, and she has been used to it over the years." ”
"Cut." Liu didn't care, sneered, and relied on Mrs. Su to be coquettish.
No matter how ugly Su Jianwu's face is, he can't be angry now, he begged people to come back, he brushed his face now, people turned around and left, who would have made his mother happy.
"I'm tired on the road, let's rest first."
"Hmm." Su Jianbin nodded, there were family members behind him to help move things, the four of them were idle, the three women chattered around Su Lao Taijun, Su Jianbin and Su Jianwu walked side by side in front, and I don't know what the brothers were talking about.
"Huh? What about sister-in-law? On such a good occasion, why didn't she come out and jump? Liu Shi looked around and didn't see anyone, and asked curiously.
No one beside her answered her, and she subconsciously looked at Su Ningxue. Su Ningxue smiled respectfully, but she was not afraid of embarrassment, and said, "Second aunt, my mother was arrested by the Criminal Department for committing a crime. No, my grandmother fell ill because of this. ”
"Oh? Criminal Department? Alas! Isn't that where Zhe'er stays? Liu looked at Su Zhe, Su Zhe nodded, and at this moment, Liu's face was almost deformed with a smile.
Cai's family has lived for more than ten years, raising a son for others, and he really thinks that he is the mother-in-law, but he didn't expect it! Unexpectedly, in the end, it was this son who arrested her with his own hands. The more Liu thought about it, the better he was in the mood, pulling Mrs. Su and longing to dance.
Of course, Mrs. Su's body does not allow it.
Su Ningxue also saw that the Liu family is a person with a lively personality and a ruthless mouth, such a person is indeed difficult to deal with, but if you don't mess with her, you will never come to calculate you.
"Huh? You're Ning Boniang's daughter, right? My name is Su Ningyou, and my name is Su Ningrui. Liu's two daughters only remembered to say hello to Su Ningxue at this time, perhaps because Su Ningxue looked a bit like Youjia Shuning, and the two girls' eyes were crooked, which showed that they liked Su Ningxue very much.
"When I was a child, Ning Boniang was very kind to the two of us, often giving us delicious food and teaching us to paint. It's not like some people, who don't know anything, and they are still swaggering all day long. Su Ningrui said, her eyes casually glancing at Su Ningyu who was following behind.
Su Ningyu trembled, and didn't reply after all. She has nothing to rely on now, how dare she be presumptuous.
"Grandmother, Ning Yu is tired, Ning Yu will go back to rest first." Bending her knees, she quickly turned around and left with Manhe Shui Lu as if she was fleeing.
"Look at her like that, it makes us bully her, when she beat us before, we weren't as wronged as she was." Su Ningyou was dissatisfied.
Seeing that Mrs. Su's face was not good because of the mention of Cai's matter, Liu quickly signaled the two children to stop talking, and she helped Mrs. Su back to the Summer Garden. Su Ningyou Su Ningrui went back to the yard to tidy up her things, and Su Zhe went back to Qingfeng Building first on the grounds that her body couldn't bear it.
Suddenly, only Su Ningxue was left standing in place, she thought about it, let's go out and see the store.
Anyway, it's time to care about the profitability.
UniqueToday, there are not many customers, after the style broke out a few days ago, Xuan Yibing has been working hard to design more patterns, for this reason, he had to run a few more stores, look at the needs of customers, patterns and styles to find inspiration.
When Su Ningxue came in, he was meditating. Su Ningxue patted him on the shoulder, so startled that he almost threw the charcoal in his hand.
"What do you think? So fascinating. Su Ningxue sat down and glanced at the white paper in front of him, Xuan Yibing sighed and said helplessly: "If you want to design the drawing, you see, now there are only a few samples left in the store, and I am beginning to wonder if what you said was unique, and this is not wrong."
You think very well, but unfortunately, I'm tired. I'm running out of brains, and I haven't drawn a decent one in the past few days. ”
Su Ningxue glanced to the side, and there were a lot of paper balls piled up on the ground, some of which had black marks, and some of which were even white paper.
"Is it that hard? I said you didn't mean it, right? Say, isn't it that you've been making a lot of money lately, and you don't want to work and go out to have fun? ”
"Big sister! I said do you have a conscience, you just showed your face on the day you opened the store, and there was not even a ghost in the next few days, and now you are embarrassed to tell me that I want to have fun? Xuan Yibing's face pulled, and he casually took out the account book from the drawer and threw it in front of Su Ningxue.
Su Ningxue slowly flipped a few pages, the first few pages were really good, and there were a lot of accounts, but the further back they went, the less they entered.
"It seems that there is something wrong with this sales method."
Xuan Yibing glanced at her, as if he was joking.
"But if we don't do this, it's not easy to defeat those century-old shops, especially Jinxiufang, they are too strong in any aspect, it's not that I don't believe in your craftsmanship, but we are in ancient times, compared to embroidery skills, we are doomed."
"I know, so you didn't see me drawing, but I thought about it while I was drawing, and I thought about any other way." Xuan Yibing sighed again, holding the charcoal in his hand, and didn't know how to start.
"By the way, how did you talk about the other store? I've been busy here for the past two days, and I haven't been to those two yet. ”
"Eh" Su Ningxue choked, she was busy with family affairs in the past two days, and she hadn't been there to see it. Xuan Yibing saw her weakness at a glance, and shook her head helplessly, Su Ningxue hurriedly discussed: "Or, I'll go and see it now?" ”
"Whatever you want. However, there has been no news for so many days, and I guess you will go in vain. ”
Su Ningxue nodded in agreement.
But on the way home, she cheekily went in and asked again, and the store still said the old saying, "The owner didn't reply." Su Ningxue had no choice but to leave, and on the way back, she wondered if she should find another shop, no matter how good the location of these two rooms was, she couldn't get it all the time.
If her unique income can't go up, she still doesn't have enough sources of livelihood.
Stepping into the Su Mansion, Zhishu hurriedly greeted her, saying that Mrs. Su asked her to go to the dining hall to eat, Su Ningxue looked up, only to find that it was time for dinner, it was really strange, did she have a lot of worries these days, but she didn't feel hungry.
