Chapter 258: Canglan People
"Aunt Qin, I'm young, but I'm not stupid." Xiao Man was still smiling, and he didn't hesitate: "I've known Sister Qin for several years, and I know exactly how she has lived in the past few years." Although she has never remarried, can you say that she is not happy? Can you tell her that she is not happy? ”
On the contrary, Qin Chun got more monthly money every month because of this shop, which was something she couldn't think of before, let alone pay for a house by herself.
And the Qin family has always let Qin Chun marry and let her live with a man, if Qin Chun also thinks like this, then forget it, but Qin Chun doesn't want to accept this arrangement, and has repeatedly resisted, and now it has reached this point, but the Qin family still doesn't know how to reflect.
After listening to what Xiao Man said, Qin Chun couldn't help but move closer to Xiao Man, and his eyes turned a little red inexplicably.
But the Qin family didn't see her daughter's reddened eyes at all, but was mad at Qin Chun's move of getting closer to Xiao Man, she looked at Xiao Man with a smile, and said in a weird manner: "Shopkeeper Su, our small family is not as big as you doing such a big business." Besides, aren't you married yourself? If that's what you really think, then why would you want to get married? ”
In Qin's opinion, this Su Xiaoman is doing everything possible to prevent his daughter from marrying, as long as Qin Chun does not marry for a day, she has to help Xiaoman take care of the store, and she has to look at Su Xiaoman! The Qin family doesn't want their daughter to work for others all her life, her daughter is beautiful and has a good personality, such a person deserves to enjoy glory and wealth, and enjoy the life of being surrounded by others!
What's more, her daughter was divorced, and it really hurts to do business like this, if it weren't for Qin's own source of income, she wouldn't let Qin Chun go out to do business anyway!
"Aunt Qin, it's not right for you to say that." Xiao Man had long thought that the other party would say this, she sat there calmly, looking at the Qin family without blinking, extremely calm: "I got married long before I did business, this is my own choice." And Qin Chun doesn't want to marry at this stage, this is her choice, and you should respect her. ”
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Qin Chun again, and her tone was much softer: "If Qin Chun wants to marry one day, or meets someone she likes, then I will definitely be the first to give her a rich dowry." ”
Such words made Qin Chun moved, and Qin couldn't pick out any thorns, she blushed and looked at Su Xiaoman, and finally turned her head awkwardly, and muttered something alone there.
Seeing this, Xiao Man no longer continued to hold him accountable, after all, the other party was old and Qin Chun's biological mother, so it was not good to be too harsh.
Seeing that it was not early outside, Xiao Man said again: "Sister Qin, the competition is going to be in a few days, you can live with me first, it is also convenient to prepare, as for the affairs of the store, you don't have to worry about it first, I have other arrangements." ”
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Su!" Qin Chun wanted to agree, but when he thought of the children at home, he had to refuse: "I'm good at home, I have all the tools at home, if I want to practice, it's also very convenient at home, so I can't go." ”
"Okay, it's just convenient for you. It's not early, I have to go back first, Sister Qin should go home quickly. ”
After Xiaoman's mediation today, the Qin family knew that they were at a loss, so they had to temporarily suppress the idea of letting Qin Chun marry, and obediently returned home without mentioning this matter again.
When I returned to the Lu Mansion, the sky had completely darkened, the lantern at the entrance of the mansion had been lit, and Xiao Man and Pearl returned to the inner courtyard, and happened to meet Xia Wanrou who came out of the house.
"Xiaoman, you can be regarded as back." Xia Wanrou hurriedly called: "I've been waiting for you here for a long time, you finally came back, tell me, where have you been for the past half a day?" ”
Saying that, Xiao Man also walked up the steps, she and Xia Wanrou entered the house side by side, sat down and said: "I went to the store to talk to Qin Chun about something, but I didn't want to encounter other things to delay, fortunately, now that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved, Sister Wanrou doesn't have to worry." But what are you doing with me today, is there anything important? ”
After going out for half a day, she spent a lot of tongue, she was very thirsty, so she couldn't wait for Xia Wanrou to speak, and she took several sips of tea on the side.
Seeing this, Xia Wanrou couldn't help but cover her lips and smile, and then got down to business: "Didn't we see a foreigner entering Shangjing on the street a few days ago? I have already inquired about the identities of those people, their origins, and the purpose of their trip. ”
As soon as she mentioned this, Xiao Man immediately became interested, she blinked her eyes, and said curiously: "Tell me quickly, what are they here for." ”
Donglan has a vast territory, rich national strength, and many small countries around it, because Donglan has become stronger and stronger over the years, and Lu Li led his troops to repel the most powerful barbarians in the surrounding countries a few years ago, which makes Donglan country in the status of the surrounding small countries to a higher level.
Therefore, in the years of repelling the barbarians, many small countries in the surrounding areas took the initiative to offer their affection, so that they could repair the good of the two countries, so that both countries were saved from war.
The emperor of Donglan was not a belligerent person, so he repeatedly accepted everyone's kindness, and it is precisely because of this that over the years, the border has been very peaceful, the country and the people have been safe, and the development has become stronger and stronger.
Because of the vast territory of Donglan, there are many products that other countries do not have, in these years of close contact between several countries, the envoys of the surrounding small countries are very envious when they come and go between the two countries, and every time they return to China, they will bring some Donglan specialties, so that they can sell them at a good price in their own countries.
Some people got a glimpse of the business opportunity and started to resell things, and they made a fortune, and the people they saw on the streets before were people from Canglan Kingdom, a small country farthest away from Donglan Country, because no one from Canglan Country had ever come to Donglan to show goodwill, so no one knew their clothes.
"I see." Xiao Man nodded as if he didn't understand, and secretly calculated in his heart.
Looking at the other party's thoughtful appearance, Xia Wanrou couldn't help but raise a smile and quipped: "Xiaoman, didn't you start the idea of this Canglan country?" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help grinning, and two blushes flew on his cheeks, "Sister Wanrou, how do you know my thoughts?" ”
But as soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head again, a little embarrassed: "It's just that I don't know them well, and I think that if they want to transport some Donglan specialties back, I'm afraid they won't consider me." And I remember that they are mainly dressed to keep warm, and they may not be able to see these styles of clothes in Beijing. ”
Xia Wanrou had already said that they were all wearing clothes made of animal fur, and it was very likely that they came from the north, it was so cold over there, if they really wanted to purchase Donglan specialties, I am afraid they would not consider the clothes of the Manrou Garment Workshop.
"Whether you look at it or not, it's not up to you to decide." Xia Wanrou smiled mysteriously, meaning unclear.
Xiao Man suddenly heard some other meanings from these words, her eyes lit up, she looked at Xia Wanrou without blinking, and said happily: "Sister Wanrou wants to say, we still have a chance, or are they looking at our things?" ”
If this is really the case, then the Manrou Garment Workshop can directly cooperate with the caravan of Canglan Country in the future, which will be more convenient and simple, and Qin Chun, Lao Zhou and others will also be more trouble-free, just supervise the making of clothes, and no longer have to be busy greeting guests.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Man was very excited.
"Actually, I'm here to tell you......" Xia Wanrou deliberately stopped, and looked at Xiao Man with a smile and didn't speak.
After a long pause, it wasn't until Xiao Man couldn't hold back and wanted to open his mouth to ask, that Xia Wanrou slowly spoke: "Wei Xiuyuan learned the news in the court, chatted with the Canglan people who entered Beijing, and specially recommended you to them." ”
After hearing these words, Xiao Man was stunned for a while, and slowly digested the meaning of the other party's words in his heart.
recommended himself to the Canglan people, isn't that an accident, the things I just thought about may come true?!
"Ahh Xiaoman shouted excitedly, got up and hugged Xia Wanrou, "Sister Wanrou, I love you so much!" Thank you! Sister Wanrou, you are so good! ”
Xia Wanrou was hugged and turned around, a helpless and doting smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, looking at Xiao Man's happy appearance, she was also very excited in her heart.
The two talked and laughed in the house, Xiao Man hugged each other and never wanted to let go of his hands, and the people on the side, Hongyu and Pearl and others also smiled, and the entire Lu Mansion was overflowing with a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Just as the two were laughing, the door of the house was opened, but the two were busy celebrating this matter, but they didn't notice it, until Wei Xiuyuan coughed lightly a few times and said, "I heard your laughter from afar, what are you laughing at?" ”
Xiao Man hurriedly turned around, looking at Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li standing side by side at the door, she couldn't help but jump up and down in front of Wei Xiuyuan, and solemnly bowed to the other party.
Wei Xiuyuan, who had never received such a big gift, hurriedly helped him up, and scratched the back of his head in wonder, what's wrong, Su Xiaoman, who used to play tricks on himself with Lu Li in the past, why did he suddenly give himself such a big gift today?
Not to mention Wei Xiuyuan, even Lu Li, who has always been steady, also showed a little surprise, the two saw doubts in each other's eyes when they met, and Xia Wanrou, who knew the inside story, stepped forward to cover her lips and chuckled twice, explaining: "Xiuyuan, Xiaoman, thank you for this!" ”
"Thank me?" Wei Xiuyuan scratched his chin, his two eyebrows twisted together, and he was very puzzled: "Thank me for what?" ”
"It's not about Canglan Country." Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid, Xia Wanrou hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, Wei Xiuyuan laughed a little embarrassed, and said cautiously: "Uh... You'd better be mentally prepared, I had a flirtation with the Canglan people today, and I think it's very likely that that thing won't work out......"
