Old Mrs. Yi was also neat and tidy, and the next morning she asked Mrs. Yi to send a room to the Lin family in the name of the housekeeper's assistance. At first, the Huang family was quite happy, thinking that this aunt Mo finally decided to meddle in the family, so he sent a room of people to hold the Lin family hostage, and later knew that it was really for the Lin family, so angry that he almost didn't bite his silver teeth.

Yi Xiangxiang and these young ladies were picked up by their respective mothers-in-law after breakfast and went to the side courtyard to study, Yi Ruonan said that she had nothing to do after the holiday, and she also followed her sisters to listen to Mr. Lai's lectures. Several boys had to go to the old lady Yi Kangwen's study to write, Yi Luochuan and Yi Hanchen walked to the study one after another, only Yi Hanxi was still hesitant in Ci'an Hall.

Mrs. Yi's Mo is also a person who knows how to read eyes, and she saw that this nephew and grandson estimated that he had something to say to his old man, so she made an excuse to go to the side courtyard.

Yi Hanxi knelt down in front of Yi Kangwen as soon as he lifted his robe and said, "Uncle, grandfather, I want to go to Tongzhou to help my aunt run Xile Building." His tone was firm and confident.

"Oh? You're no longer studying? Don't test for fame? Yi Kangwen was a little surprised, these days he watched the three boys read, his grandson Yi Luochuan has been smart and clever since he was a child, he knows, Yi Luochuan is almost a forgetful type, so reading and reciting poems is better than the two boys in the second room. Yi Hanchen held his breath and didn't want to lose to Yi Luochuan, so he chased with all his strength, and he could quickly memorize the poems when he stumbled. Only Yi Hanxi is not in a hurry to compare with his brothers, but consolidates his knowledge in a down-to-earth manner, and does not force himself to keep up. In fact, after watching it for the past few days, Yi Kangwen still admires Yi Hanxi's patience.

"There is no end to learning, and Hanxi naturally doesn't want to give up his studies, but he is helpless. Han Xi dared to say unfilial to his uncle and grandfather today, and now his mother is on guard against Rong Xiyuan everywhere, and my aunt can't let go of her heart for fear that I will be assassinated, but I comfort her mother not to be so intolerant, but sometimes my mother does something that is true...... In this case, where can Hanxi be quiet and study? Yi Hanxi said helplessly.

Yi Hanxi said that this is indeed unfilial, Huang is her nominal mother, and it is very inappropriate for him to arrange the elders like this. But he didn't have a choice, the Huang family didn't know what blow he suffered a while ago, and he secretly made a lot of stumbling blocks to Cuiming Courtyard and Rong Xi Courtyard, but the Wang family of Cuiming Courtyard was a powerful one, and they all returned to the past; But Yi Hanxi's aunt didn't have this ability, and seeing that she was worried about what persecution Yi Hanxi was suffering from, she became ill, so Yi Hanxi asked the old lady Yi Kangwen for help.

Huang's intensification is partly because of Miaoqin, she can't be embarrassed by the big room, so she finds someone in the second room to be angry, but Yi Hanxi doesn't know one of the reasons. He only knew that his father secretly visited Liuxiang in Huajie in the name of drinking tea and meeting friends, and was followed by the Huang family, so the Huang family has become more and more fond of finding someone to vent recently. Feng was also punished to kneel in order to intercede for Yi Hanxi, and in the winter, Feng was already worried about becoming ill, and his condition worsened that night.

Yi Hanxi knew that the result of this kind of continuation was likely to be the death of the Feng family, and he was depressed all day long.

Yi Kangwen's backyard doesn't have so much dirt, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the backyard has always been overwhelmed, he sighed and said, "You're gone, what should your aunt do?" ”

"My mother is embarrassed to accommodate Xiyuan, but because my aunt has my son under her knees, and she is afraid that she will steal the limelight from the second brother in the future; Shinong Gongshang, if I were in business, I wouldn't have this threat, and she would naturally not embarrass my aunt anymore. As for reading...... Thirty-six lines, the line is the champion, I Yi Hanxi have this confidence, even if I am just a businessman in the future, I can do a good job! Yi Hanxi made bold remarks, if Yi Xiangxiang was present, he would feel that this was like an interview and recruitment for a certain company.

In fact, Yi Hanxi did not make this decision on the spur of the moment just to ask for the oppression of the Huang family, he was deliberate. Yesterday, he heard the conversation between his uncle and his eighth sister, and knew that his aunt Lin was looking for someone he trusted to open a restaurant in Tongzhou, and he was moved at that time. He stayed up all night thinking about it all night before making this decision.

Yi Hanxi has always been very transparent, and he has no hope in the second room, so he can only pin his hopes on the big house. These days, he has also seen the talent of the third brother Yi Luochuan, and he will definitely be able to be named on the gold list in the future, he is now helping the third brother's mother take care of the business, and the third brother will naturally take care of him a little in the future.

Yi Hanxi naturally wouldn't have thought that his eighth sister was the big boss of Xile Building, nor would he have thought that the future profits would be far more than Yi Luochuan's three-point care.

Yi Kangwen knew that what Yi Hanxi said was sincere, and he also made careful considerations. In fact, what Yi Kangwen also knows is that there are countless talents in the Li Dynasty, and there are countless talents who have fallen behind, and it is really difficult to say where he can go in the future with Yi Hanxi's intelligence, after all, his congenital conditions are average, and he will be suppressed the day after tomorrow. So Yi Hanxi decided to jump out, which is also a good choice.

"Why don't you just go and ask your aunt?" Although Yi Kangwen already agreed in his heart, he still had questions.

Yi Hanxi smiled bitterly and said: "Aunt is afraid that it is not good to talk to my mother, I heard that a while ago, my aunt also wanted to let the old housekeeper go to Xile Building to be the bookkeeper, but then I was afraid that my mother would not like it. Now that I am the concubine of the second room, it is even more difficult for my aunt to open up to the second room. Besides, if I ask my aunt in private, she may not agree. ”

The matter of the old housekeeper was talked about when some servants were eating and drinking in private, and on the surface, the big room and the second room were still happy. And the reason why Yi Hanxi was afraid that his aunt Lin would not agree was also because he was afraid that she would taboo her identity in the second room and would not trust him. But if there is a guarantee from his uncle and grandfather Yi Kangwen, his aunt Lin will be more relieved, and he will also prove his loyalty with his actions.

"You go to the study to write first, I need to discuss this matter with your aunt." On the surface, the Lin family is in charge of Xile Building, and it makes sense for Yi Kangwen to say that he wants to discuss with her.

Yi Xiangxiang returned to Yongleju after attending class in the side courtyard, and received a message from her grandfather Yi Kangwen that Yi Hanxi was self-recommended.

"I haven't dealt with this fourth brother, so I don't know if it's a credible person." Yi Xiangxiang sat in the circle chair and propped her chin and said.

Qing Xuan was sorting out the clothes in the cabinet for Yi Xiangxiang, and when he heard this, he said, "Why don't you ask the third young master?" The third young master and the fourth young master read together, so they must know a thing or two. ”

So in this way, Yi Luochuan, who had just come out of Yikang's library, was invited to Yongle Residence.

"Why is my brother so slow?" Yi Xiangxiang watched Yi Luochuan come in and yawned and asked.

Yi Luochuan wanted to white-eyed Yi Xiangxiang, but his quality cultivation made him unable to make such indecent movements, so he said helplessly: "What's the matter?" Hurriedly called me over. ”

Yi Xiangxiang told Yi Luochuan what Yi Kangwen had sent before, although she felt that since her grandfather did not reject Yi Hanxi, it meant that the latter was still talented. But Yi Xiangxiang herself thinks it's better to be cautious, after all, the grandfather she knows may also give Yi Hanxi half of the sympathy points.

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang really wronged Yi Kangwen, even if there is sympathy, then she will not use her family wealth to sympathize! This is the inertia of businessmen. Businessmen often think about tangible interests, if Yi Hanxi is a piece of mud that can't support the wall, Yi Kangwen will not let him lose.

"Well, it should be true that the fourth brother wants to engage in business. These days, he has also found that he is only at the average level among the students of the academy, and with some other pressures, it makes sense for him to find another way. Yi Luochuan took a sip of the West Lake Longjing that Leqi had just served, and said slowly.

Yi Xiangxiang pursed her lips and said, "What I care about is not the reason why he chose to go into business, but his ability and loyalty. If he can't smash the signboard for me, then where can I cry? And loyalty is also very important, after all, he is a person from the second room, Miaoqin's incident a few days ago has made the second room resentful, and my trust in them is not high now. ”

Yi Luochuan smiled and said: "There is no problem with ability, besides, didn't my grandfather give someone to assist?" Just go along. As for your loyalty, sister, there is a saying that 'the enemy of your enemy is your friend'. The fourth brother knows very well that what can be maintained for him will never be the second room, so you can rest assured of this. ”

"Eh, brother, compared with the second room, then naturally we are friends, but what if we have a big heart? That's even more uncontrollable. Yi Xiangxiang was not only worried about the problem of the second room, but also worried that if Yi Hanxi's wings were stiff and not used by her, wouldn't she just want to lose her wife and lose her soldiers.

"What's there to worry about? If he didn't have the idea of climbing up, and lived in fear all day long, we wouldn't use such a person. If he had the heart to climb up, he would have understood who was a reliable person, otherwise he would not have begged his grandfather. Besides, we and the second room will meet sooner or later, you and I are not willing to point the gun at the second room, because we are afraid that my grandfather will be embarrassed, so it is better to cultivate their people and let them fight by themselves. "Yi Luochuan has been getting along with Yi Hanchen day and night these days, looking at the competitive nature of this second brother, he knows that the second room will have a conflict with the big house sooner or later, so he takes precautions.

Yi Xiangxiang glanced at her brother, but she didn't expect this brother to be a little fox; In the past, she always looked like a serious and humble gentleman, and when she was taught a lesson, she was even more head-to-head, but she didn't expect that the pit person was also very talented. Since her brother said so, Yi Xiangxiang no longer bothered about Yi Hanxi's loyalty, but sent Leqi to bring rice paper, and sent a small test paper to Rongxi Academy in the name of her grandfather Yi Kangwen.

Yi Xiangxiang wants to test Yi Hanxi's ability, although her grandfather and brother have affirmed Yi Hanxi's ability, but Yi Xiangxiang feels that one of them has sympathy points, and the other has added someone to assist, which makes her feel unreliable. What's the use of having someone to assist, looking at those emperors, which one of them is not assisted by loyal ministers and good generals? Isn't there still a king who has a vote to die? So she still thinks that people must have their own basic abilities.

Her test is not difficult, it is some very basic questions, what to do if you encounter a customer fighting in a restaurant? What should I do if my hair comes out of what dish? What should I do if a guest is too molesting a female junior? These are some common restaurant problems.

Yi Hanxi quickly finished answering the question and handed the test paper back, and Yi Xiangxiang was very satisfied with his answer. Don't say anything else, let's just say what to do if there are guests who are too molesting the female junior, Yi Hanxi replied: Let the female juniors take it down first, and when the guests leave, let the restaurant thugs find a secluded alley and put a sack to beat them!

In order to prevent guests from making trouble, the restaurant will be equipped with thugs, Yi Hanxi's answer won Yi Xiangxiang's meaning, and after reading the answer sheet, she made a decision: "Okay, then let him go!" ”

So Yi Xiangxiang asked Le Qi to call Yi Kangwen back, saying that she agreed to let Yi Hanxi go to Tongzhou to take care of the new Xile Building, but the matter had to be that Yi Kangwen came forward to go to the second room to ask for people, after all, only he asked for it, so as not to attract more dissatisfaction in the second room.

Yi Kangwen, who was sitting in Ci'an Hall, heard the words from the maid next to his granddaughter, and said with a smile: "This clever ghost also wants me to be a bad person." Yi Hanxi also said that it was not appropriate for the big house to come forward to ask for someone, but he didn't expect his granddaughter to coincide with Yi Hanxi.

Although Yi Kangwen complained about his little granddaughter's unkindness, he also loved her very much, and he left a group of people to wait for breakfast the next day, and asked Mo to call the servants to invite Aunt Feng, and mentioned the matter in front of the second room of the big house and Aunt Feng.

Yi Hanxi was born by Aunt Feng, so naturally she had to be informed of this matter.

"I Guan Xi'er is a seedling in business, and I want him to follow Uncle Chun to Tongzhou to learn how to do business." Uncle Chun was the new steward sent to the Lin family by the hand of Mrs. Yi's Mo family last morning.

When Yi Hanxi heard this, he knew that his uncle and grandfather had agreed to his request yesterday, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

As the steward of Xile Building, Lin naturally had to answer at this time: "Xi'er, this kid is smart and reasonable, and with him looking at the restaurant, I don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

This was said to the Lin family yesterday when Yi Xiangxiang and the Lin family were ventilating, the original words were not so beautiful, the original words were more simple and easy to understand, Yi Xiangxiang and the Lin family said this at the time: "Mother, tomorrow my grandfather will come forward to mention this matter, you just have to come down; Well...... Anyway...... Praise him for being smart first, if he doesn't manage it well, it proves that he is not smart! Then he said that I have no opinion, and someone is willing to help me take care of me. After Lin polished his daughter's words, he had the reply just now.

"This Xi'er is still young, and Tongzhou is far away, how can this be ......?" Huang's heart is half happy and half sad, and the happy part is naturally like Yi Hanxi said, he has no energy to take the imperial examination after he has been in business, and he can't take the limelight of his son. The sad part is that I watched Old Lady Yi lift Yi Hanxi, and I was a little worried in my heart. But no matter what the mood is, as Yi Hanxi's nominal mother, she also has to make a gesture of worrying about Yi Hanxi.

Yi Tangquan didn't have any opinions, he and his children were not close, except for a pair of twin daughters in Cuiming Courtyard who were more likable, he didn't pay much attention to the other children, and immediately said: "What do you know, there are servants waiting, what are you afraid of when the road is far away, boys should go out and practice." "Yi Tangquan is a strict father.

Of course, he had no influence when he said this, and he was embarrassed to say that boys should be trained in his own image, and even Yi Xiangxiang blushed for him. And if it is really a strict father, he should urge his son to take the meritorious test, where is the lowest businessman in the ninth rate? If Yi Xiangxiang were a man, I believe that the elders of the Yi family would not agree to her opening a restaurant.

"Aunt Feng, what do you think?" Mo knew that Yi Kangwen was not good at asking his nephew's concubine, so he spoke on his behalf.

Aunt Feng had been brainwashed by Yi Hanxi last night, Yi Hanxi also told her what she said in front of Yi Kangwen, she knew that her son had already made a decision, and it was not good to hold him back at the moment: "The concubine has no opinion, the concubine thank the old lady and the old lady for their advice." ”

The mother-in-law agreed, and the Huang family naturally didn't want to say anything, and she was still very happy with the result of Yi Hanxi's business, so she only asked to bring more servants and mothers-in-law to take care of her, so she nodded and agreed.

Not to mention that no one objected to the second room, even if there is, Yi Kangwen will not be able to refuse, after all, Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Hanxi both agreed, and in Yi Kangwen's opinion, others have nothing to say. But if everyone agrees, he doesn't need to go out of his way, Yi Kangwen is naturally even more happy to see it, and immediately said: "Okay, it's decided over there." In the past few days, Xi'er has gone to the restaurant to take a look around, sent people to pack up her things, and set off with Uncle Chun on a good day. "Most people in the Li Dynasty still believe in the gods, and it is also a custom to choose a good day when you go out.

Yi Xiangxiang still didn't reveal that she was the principal, and felt that there was no need to explain it. And Yi Hanxi has been learning from the shopkeeper in the Xile Building in Centennial County in the past few days, and he has watched the Xile Building from the style of dishes to the decoration configuration are all praiseworthy, and his admiration for his aunt Lin has risen a few points.

Aunt Feng often mentioned his aunt Lin in front of him, saying that she was a talented person, but he used to think that it was just that the back house was only managed in an orderly manner, and it was not a talent; These days, seeing that the business of Xile Lou is thriving, he also admires his aunt Lin when he looks at this unique restaurant, because he thinks that ordinary women really don't have this ability. And because Tongzhou Xile Building is to be completely rolled out according to the model of a century-old county, he is fortunate to see the account book, and the unique bookkeeping method really makes him, a person who has never been a bookkeeper, secretly happy, not to mention the daily balance of profits. Yi Hanxi thought that if his aunt was a man, she would definitely be able to achieve a career.

Yi Hanxi stayed in the restaurant for a few days, and packed his things and went to Tongzhou before the winter solstice. Before leaving, he explained to Feng that he was afraid that he would not be able to come back for the New Year this year, so that she did not have to worry about herself, she had to take care of her body, and she would go to the big house for help if there was anything, in his opinion, the big house would become the support of their mother and son. In fact, this is also the case, since he became the right-hand man of the big house, Mrs. Yi's Mo family was hinted at by her little granddaughter Yi Xiangxiang and often asked Feng to go to Ci'an Hall to talk to her, and it was also clear to the outside that she was promoting them.

When the winter solstice comes, there are still people carrying heavy loads in the snow; But as long as we move forward, we will surely usher in bright flowers.
