048 Celebrate the New Year together
Mu Shishi had waited too long for this day, and this pharmacy was really boring on weekdays, so she relied on Ling Er to tell her from time to time about the interesting things that happened, or the stories she heard from everywhere.
In fact, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she didn't know where she heard so many interesting things, and she couldn't stop listening to them.
But in the past few months, for some reason, she has not come at all, she can only listen to some from Changsheng sporadically, and she has long been able to gossip.
Now, it can be regarded as her seizing the opportunity.
Xiao Ling'er has never concealed Mu Shishi's affairs, and this time when she was free, she simply told everything from the beginning, only looking at Mu Shishi's eyes widening for a while, and her face changed abruptly.
"Wow, Ling'er, you're so uninteresting, so many things have happened, but I have to wait so long to know."
"It's just that I haven't had time to come to the county seat, and after all, the Mei family is here, so avoid it if you can."
Mu Shishi pursed her mouth, looking unhappy, saying that she was twenty years old, and many women at this age were married and had children, but sometimes looking at her, she looked more girlish and lively than Xiaoqin.
"I said it earlier, this Mei Cheng'an is not easy to deal with, you have only been in contact with him a few times, and your identity has been exposed so quickly."
"But I really don't understand, why didn't he demolish me, but he still acquiesced in the business between Baicaotang and me."
"I can't guess." Mu Shishi pursed her lips, "That Mei Cheng'an is very cunning, think about it, this person who has already stepped into the coffin with half a foot in the coffin, but has the ability to take charge of such a huge business of the Mei family, and crush the second young master of the Mei family to death, can it not be powerful?" ”
"Second Young Master of the Mei Family, Mei Yongxin?" Since the last time she started to contact the Mei family, Xiao Ling'er simply stopped avoiding it, and began to plan to slowly get to know the Mei family, after all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can not be defeated in a hundred battles.
"Well, Mei Yongxin was born to the second lady of the Mei family, not a master of peace, although he is not so valued because of how much he is born, but he has the ability and means, but unfortunately he still didn't grab most of the Mei family's business. The Mei family looks calm, but I can't tell what is going on underneath. Therefore, it is normal for Mei Chengan to have some of his own thoughts and actions. ”
Although Xiao Ling'er is a concubine of the Mei family, she really doesn't know much about the Mei family. She had only heard a little about this Mei Yongxin from Liang Qiulan, and she really didn't look like an easy person to deal with.
"I just don't know if Mei Chengan has anything to do with me and Mei Yongxin." It's okay to do business with the Mei family, but if she wants to get involved in the Mei family's grievances, she doesn't want to.
"Who knows." Mu Shishi's nose wrinkled, "Now the three sons of the Mei family, the younger one is only ten years old, and Mei Chengan has only Mei Yongxin to deal with." That Mei Yongxin is probably also secretly thinking of ways to bring down Mei Cheng'an, you, the little concubine outside, continue to develop like this, I really don't know if when the time comes, whether it will become Mei Cheng'an's weapon or his handle. ”
Mu Shishi said, and immediately waved her hand again, "But since Mei Chengan doesn't break it, then it is better not to break it, which is more beneficial to you, we are not stupid, the Mei family has so much money, and people are willing to let you earn it, why don't we take it?" It's best to have the capital to get rid of the Mei family when you look back, if you can't get rid of it, at least don't become a chess piece because you have no confidence. ”
Mu Shishi's thoughts are similar to hers, they all believe in the concept that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. In fact, to be honest, Mu Shishi's concept is very advanced in this Southern Dynasty, she easily accepts the idea that she wants to reconcile with Mei Cheng'an, and she also supports women in business, maybe this is why there are so many people, but Xiao Linger can only talk to her so much.
Thinking so, she couldn't help laughing, "I'm the same as you think, the more silent Mei Chengan is, the better, make more money from the Mei family, maybe you can straighten your back if you want to negotiate with him in the future." ”
"Poof." Mu Shishi almost squirted out the melon seeds that had just been delivered to her mouth, "Hmm...... From ancient times to the present, the concubine straightened her waist and negotiated with her husband and divorced, you should be the first. ”
Mu Shishi said, continued to swallow the melon seeds in her hand, paused, as if she remembered something, and asked again, "By the way, Ling'er, what has the Xiao family done in this short period of time?" ”
"The Xiao family?"
"That's right, it should be when you were injured, two people from the Xiao family came to my pharmacy several times, looking for you by name, and one of them was your mother. But then suddenly he didn't come. ”
"That's when they found Anding Village, and the other is my sister-in-law." Xiao Ling'er's face sank, "That family is very capable, they sold me at the beginning, but now they see that I have made some money selling medicines, and they want to come here to mix some cheap." ”
"Driven away?"
"It's to drive away, but my sister-in-law is scheming, I didn't get a bargain this time, I don't think she will give up so easily."
"This money is the first word, that kind of person is the most prone to red-eyedness, of course, he has to find ways to touch a little bit from you. As the old saying goes, if you are not afraid of a gentleman, you are afraid of a villain's scheming. This kind of person, unlike Mei Chengan, they have more heart-to-heart eyes, and they can do all kinds of shameless things that are spoofed and framed, you have to be more careful. ”
"Don't worry, I will."
"Okay, okay, I know you're smart." Mu Shishi stood up and urged, "Okay, we've been talking for so long, we can't keep Xiao Shen hanging outside, let's go out." ”
"Okay." Xiao Ling'er answered, followed Mu Shishi out of the room, Zhou Shen was still sitting in the position just now and did not move, but drank more than half of the tea in the cup.
She and Mu Shishi also chatted for a while, he just waited and didn't urge them, Mu Shishi looked at Zhou Shen at this time, she was satisfied with how she looked at it horizontally and vertically, and there was an uncontrollable smile on her face.
"Are you done talking?" Zhou Shen watched the two of them come out, stood up, and greeted them with a smile.
"Of course, you're a guest, so how can you keep you waiting." As Mu Shishi spoke, she secretly pushed Xiao Ling'er in the direction of Zhou Shen.
This woman is really addicted to matchmaking.
Xiao Ling'er shook her head helplessly, she was fine, but she didn't notice that Zhou Shen on the side lowered his chin and blushed quietly.
Xiao Ling'er only looked at the pharmacy, but indeed, it was a while, but she didn't expect that no one in the pharmacy came, "The business for the New Year is really a lot worse, is Lin Zi also gone?" ”
"Yes, there will be no business for a while anyway, Lin Zi's house is not close to the county seat, I asked him to go home for the New Year."
"What about you?" Xiao Ling'er suddenly thought of this question, "What are you going to do for the New Year?" ”
"What else can I do, just guard the pharmacy, which year didn't come like this."
It sounds a little sad, but Mu Shishi's words don't show the slightest loss, but they are used to it. Xiao Ling'er remembered hearing Mu Shishi say that she had no family for a long time, and only had a pharmacist friend, but she only left those two medicine books and didn't come back for a long time.
She pursed the corners of her lips and her eyes lit up, "Why don't you go to our house for the New Year?" ”
"Your family?"
"Yes, it's been almost a year, you haven't been to Anding Village yet, come with us this time, everyone will celebrate the New Year together, it must be a lot more lively."
"Yes, Boss Mu." Zhou Shen on the side also opened his mouth, "It's better to have more people during the New Year, what kind of New Year's is one person, although Anding Village is a small village, but it is quite lively during the New Year, everyone will gather together for bonfires at night for fun, why don't you go and take a look?" ”
"What about such a thing?" Xiao Ling'er looked at Zhou Shen, she hadn't heard of it.
"The first time you came to the village, it's normal to not know, my mother-in-law shouldn't have had time to tell you, when the time comes, every family will take out a dish, and everyone will gather together to eat and have a bonfire, although there may be too many people to eat anything, but in the end it is a lively picture."
"I see." Xiao Ling'er's eyebrows raised, there was no Spring Festival Gala in ancient times, and ordinary people couldn't afford fireworks, so they should have come up with something else to have fun.
Mu Shishi estimated that she was also having a boring New Year, and when she heard Zhou Shen say this, her eyes lit up a lot, "Okay, since Xiao Shen said so, I can reluctantly go." Anyway, Ling Er bought such a big piece of meat today, so she didn't rub it for nothing. ”
After this promise, Xiao Ling'er simply pulled it all up, "And Xiao Shen, you can also come to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you and your mother are two people at home, why don't you also come to our house together?" ”
"This ......"
"This and this, I agreed for him." Mu Shishi suddenly became energetic, "Didn't you just say that there are many people, this year's New Year, let's just be more lively."
Zhou Shen also estimated that he knew that he couldn't resist Mu Shishi, and nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and ask my mother, but she has a good relationship with her mother-in-law, and she has long said that she is in better health and wants to go to the door, so she should agree." ”
"That's great." Xiao Ling'er clapped her hands, "It's so decided, I'll go back and tell my mother-in-law about them, they will be very happy, this old house has been cold for too long, it's time to be lively." ”
After this was finalized, Xiao Ling'er and Zhou Shen left the pharmacy together and went in the direction of home.
In fact, when Xiao Ling'er was in her previous life, she really didn't have any friends, and the only one betrayed her, so she was all about burrowing in medicinal herbs.
I didn't expect that in this life, she could gain these sincere family and friends, and sometimes there are some things that can't be described simply as blessings and misfortunes.
She chuckled secretly, and began to think in her head again, the first year, since so many people have to live together.
Well...... It's time to think of a way to make a little more fun.
