Chapter 345: For Concubines
Now is not the time to beg Shunde Xing to ask her for sugar, the fame of Beitang has spread, and there are other business houses besides Shunde Xing to talk about, but now Xu Wenlan wants to cooperate with Guo Buluo's family.
In the final analysis, she is in Heishui, as the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade with her back to a big tree, and there are many benefits to working with Guo Buluo's family, so why should she be willing to go far?
Although the Guo Buluo family's business house is not as famous as Shunde, and the road has not yet been paved to the south, but in the land outside the Guan, the power of the Guo Buluo family is not blown.
The next day when I went to the cloth art shop, Xu Wenlan was still worried about Guo Buluo's family, it stands to reason that Chengyu was present when the county order gave the name, and he also saw the things of growing beets in the yamen in the past few days, so he should know that Beitang will definitely make money!
I heard that the prefectural order also specially sent sugar and beets to the prefecture to present to the prefect, and the prefect wrote a letter to encourage the county order, and said that if there is a bumper harvest of black water beets, he will ask for credit for the prefectural order.
Hearsay may not be all in the picture, but one thing is certain, the county order really attaches importance to northern sugar and sugar beets.
Just looking at the notices posted at the entrance of the yamen, as well as those officials who went to the countryside to call on the people to grow sugar beet, Xu Wenlan felt that it was likely that Heishui would really become a famous sugar beet producing area in the future.
Holding the counter with a pestle, Xu Wenlan tilted her head, not noticing that Da Zhu was talking to the fat woman who came to buy a pillow towel: "These things are all thought up by my daughter, but other families don't have them - Wen Lan, Wen Lan ......"
"Huh? Call me? Xu Wenlan was clever and woke up.
"Someone is looking for it."
"Yes......" jumped up, Xu Wenlan greeted the door with a smile, but immediately raised her eyebrows in disappointment.
I thought it was the steward of Guo Buluo's family, even if Cheng Yu didn't come out, it would be easy to talk to the steward, did she have to come to the door in person to negotiate?
Losing interest, she glanced at the white lotus very casually: "Auntie, do you have something?" ”
The white lotus had a panicked look on her face, she had long lost the high-spirited momentum she had before, and she didn't even enter the store directly just now, and she was also a little apprehensive about the big Zhu family.
Just seeing Xu Wenlan, the White Lotus immediately glared, and opened her mouth to drink: "Why are you harming me?!" ”
Xu Wenlan was stunned when she heard this, good guy, a big hat was buttoned over with one mouth.
"When did I hurt you, why don't I know myself?" Smiling at the white lotus, Xu Wenlan asked: "Why don't you talk about it, aunt, if I don't do it, then I will do it quickly, and I will save the notoriety in vain." ”
When she answered this, the fat woman who was standing with Da Zhu's family was happy when she heard it: "Look at your girl's good mouth, forget it, I won't tell you anymore, give me two sets!" Not only this pillow towel, but also the soft pillow, I want to say, this is much more comfortable to sleep on than a porcelain pillow. ”
Da Zhu agreed, took someone over to settle the bill, and glanced at Xu Wenlan again.
Knowing that the Great Zhu family was worried about the White Lotus making trouble, Xu Wenlan was not afraid of that.
didn't let the White Lotus come over to sit, she just hugged her arms and looked at people coldly: "I'm here for business, not for people to be idle, if you want to make trouble, just leave." ”
"You ......" White Lotus stomped her feet hatefully, but instead of leaving in a rage, she suppressed her anger and lowered her voice: "I have something to tell you, I can't be here." ”
Raising her eyebrows, Xu Wenlan was a little curious: "Not here?" Could it be that you still want me to invite you to the teahouse to talk about things? ”
"Don't go to the teahouse...... White Lotus immediately said anxiously: "That, don't you have a backyard?" ”
It seems that he really wants to say something, and he is afraid that people will hear it!
Xu Wenlan pursed her lips, thought about it and took the white lotus around the back room.
"Grass, where are they?"
"No, the second aunt rented a room in the courtyard and moved over to live in ......" Xu Wenlan stopped and looked back at the white lotus: "Are you looking for me or the second aunt?" ”
"Looking for you, naturally looking for you." White Lotus hurriedly answered, looked left and right, and no one could hear it, so she whispered: "You must help me this time!" If you hadn't hurt me, I wouldn't have begged you. ”
This is a begging?!
Xu Wenlan smiled: "Auntie, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." What did I do to you? Besides, if you ask for help, you have to have the posture of asking for help, look at you like this, you are here to fight, where are you here to ask for help? ”
"I'm really asking for your help." The white lotus's face turned red, and she still couldn't bend down: "You also said that you didn't harm me!" When I went to see him today, he complained about me all the time, saying that he didn't want to see me anymore, and that he was beaten by his father because I hurt him—you say, if you didn't have to shout about it and let the wife of the Guo Buluo family know, how could he be beaten? And how can you be angry with me? Why don't you marry me? ”
White Lotus said in circles, but Xu Wenlan still understood: "That's so funny, what's wrong with him being beaten?" I think it's still light, and I kidnapped a big girl for no reason, and I don't want to say anything? Besides, if you want to blame anyone, auntie, you can blame your good fourth brother and third brother, I just accompanied them to Guo Buluo's house, and they were the ones who were looking for specific people - if I hadn't followed, maybe you would have been abducted and known all over the black water! ”
"Phew......" White Lotus spat: "It's as if no one is talking about it now, it's not you who said it......"
"That's not how wronged people are wronged! Gotta go, you better go, I don't have that spare time to play with you. ”
Xu Wenlan pursed her lips and pushed the white lotus out.
How could White Lotus be willing to go, and grabbed Xu Wenlan's hand and didn't let go: "No, you have to solve this matter if you make trouble......
"Hey, I've never seen you so bad! Who provoked it? You are embarrassed to blame others if you run away with others, it's not a shame to have a big face, you hide it and don't let people see it! ”
The white lotus was ashamed and annoyed, but suddenly knelt down on her knees: "Wen Lan, count me begging you." ”
When she ran, Xu Wenlan was a little frightened.
This is a white lotus, a person who does anything wrong without admitting his mistake and begging for mercy, this will actually know that he is kneeling, it seems that he is really asking for someone.
Seeing that Xu Wenlan didn't push her again, White Lotus breathed a sigh of relief: "Now he is angry and refuses to go to the house to propose marriage, only saying that if I pass quietly, he is willing to accept me as a concubine......"
Speaking of this, White Lotus raised her hand and wiped her tears: "When I went to look for Young Master Guo Buluo, I didn't see anyone, but I ran into him, saying that I knew Young Master Guo Buluo and was willing to take me to see him, but I didn't find anyone, I was afraid and panicked and told him about the family, he said that he would save me, and I followed him - where did I think he was just a slave of Guo Buluo's family......"
