Chapter 28: The Sun Family's Cousins
Zhang's perfume business is endless, and the Chunjiang couple also promoted the use of perfume to a more civilian field at Yiqing's suggestion: soap!
"Our little cousin is smart!" Chunjiang's daughter-in-law kindly touched Yiqing's hair, not minding the ugliness of the other party's face and the smell wafting out from time to time, "Our old Zhang family's business is getting better and better!" ”
"That's not it, cousin-in-law, you also see my high level, I have a lot of skills!" Yi Qing tried her best to make herself look high, but she was only twelve years old, and she couldn't help but laugh when she said this.
"Hehe, of course it is!" Cousin Chunjiang was also very happy, he came here just to set a shell of Zhangfu, but he did not match the strength of Zhangfu. Many shops in Zhangfu have been passive and slacking off for many years without supervision, and their business is very bad, but now Yiqing has only made two ideas, and the business has improved rapidly.
Yiqing asked Chunjiang and his family again: "Cousin and sister-in-law, do you really stop thinking about it?" Yiqing refers to making medicines, Ye Qingmei left a bunch of laboratory equipment, and it is still necessary to find some raw materials and make some safe drugs by yourself.
Chunjiang's cousin's expression was entangled, and Chunjiang's daughter-in-law replied generously: "Sister Qing, if you have such a good idea, like selling some soap or perfume, just forget about the medicine or something, your cousin and I have never heard of the kind of medicine you said in most of our lives!" Let's make money in peace. ”
"What I said is that perfumes are made of flowers and plants, and they are safe to pour, so we are not afraid of accidents when we sell them! I also believe in your medical skills, but the cost of making this medicine is too high......" Cousin Chunjiang discussed it with Yiqing, and was denied by his mother-in-law as soon as he talked about the cost! "And those medicinal materials you want, can't you use them directly? That's a terrible way to make things......"
Yiqing no longer spoke, and Yilan accompanied Chunjiang and Mrs. Chun together, watching the guests coming and going outside the house, the two sisters looked at each other, and each had their own plans.
……
In the alley in the backyard of Zhang's house, Sun Yaowei and several cousins squatted on the ground of the alley.
The four of them wanted to visit the mansion, but there were many prosperous rules in the capital: several of them, one was not an official, the second was not a nobleman, the third was not a relative, and the fourth was unwilling to bribe the gatekeepers, so the four brothers could only be driven out.
"Big cousin, that's Cousin Dong! How did this become a relative of Zhang's house? Cousin Sun Yaowen asked cautiously.
Since Dong Xianglan ran away, the Sun family's family has been looking for them everywhere in the south and the south, until recently Grandma Sun in the palace sent a message to let her brothers go to Beijing to catch the exam, so a large family came to the capital again.
Sun Yaowei is the eldest male in the Sun family, and he is cousins with Sun Yaowen, Sun Yaowu, and Sun Yaoshi, but because Sun Yaowei is closer to Sun Mama than the other three, he is most valued in the Sun family and speaks the most effectively.
"What to do? Cold! Sun Yaowei has been working hard to prepare for the exam recently, and he only learned about this matter after being reminded by Grandma Sun, and at this moment he felt that his face was quite damaged, and said, "What do you mean by your cousin Dong?" Have you seen it with your own eyes? Can you recognize it?! ”
Sun Yaowen's old face was flushed, and he didn't dare to answer, he was worried about Dong Xianglan's beauty, which everyone in the village knew, no, what the people in the village knew was that the men of the Sun family were worried about Dong Xianglan, who was beautiful!
Sun Yaowu watched his compatriot brother being scolded, and he didn't dare to answer, but his younger brother Sun Yaoshi persuaded: "Brother Yaowen is also worried about the safety of his cousin, isn't he?" In the past, there were many misunderstandings between my cousin and cousin, which delayed the marriage, but who in our hometown doesn't know that my cousin is the wife of our Yaowei cousin? ! ”
Sun Yaoshi's words stuck in Sun Yaowei's throat like a fly: before he wanted to marry Dong Xianglan because she was beautiful; Now he is willing to marry Dong Xianglan, but it is only because of Mama Sun's request that he marry a woman who has a bad reputation in the village and is tired of playing with himself.
Sun Yaoshi thought to himself: He deserves it! Isn't it your own fault for marrying a broken shoe? Didn't you force others to be concubines and prostitutes?!
Even though he thought so in his heart, Sun Yaoshi still said respectfully: "Cousin Dong is just a little worse in reputation, but in fact, she is still just a woman cousin?" This is something that everyone knows, and you don't have to mind! What's more, Cousin Dong is such a beauty! ”
Sun Yaowei's face looked a little better, Sun Yaowen and Sun Yaowu laughed secretly in their hearts when they heard it: This Sun family is in tatters, if it weren't for Sun Yaowei's father who wanted to use force on Dong Xianglan, then why did Sun Yaowei force her to be a secret prostitute? And why did you beat her like that?
"So what do you think we're going to do now?" Sun Yaowei didn't want to continue this topic, and if he continued to talk about it, he would be involved in his own wretched father. Even when she went to Beijing for the exam this time, Mrs. Chen didn't bring her own man, but bought him a few young girls to accompany him and nest in his hometown.
Sun Yaowen was stunned and was reluctant to answer again.
Sun Yaoshi had just finished speaking, and now he was thinking about it.
Only Sun Yaowu remained.
Sun Yaowu looked at his two brothers, and then at his eldest cousin Sun Yaowei, and said, "Then, why don't we find a chance to sneak in and have a look?" ”
"Smack!" Before Sun Yaowu finished speaking, Sun Yaowei's hand slapped heavily on his shoulder and said, "I'll see it!" A few of us brothers, she is the most kind to you, and it is most appropriate for you to leave this matter to you! ”
The other two were eating and laughing, Sun Yaowei took out another ingot of silver, and said: "Take this, just go in in the name of buying things, if you really can't do it, just say a few good words to the doorman, just go in and have a look." ”
Sun Yaowei couldn't do it, so he came to the side door again, wasted half a day's tongue, and stuffed a tael of silver to the doorman, so that the little guy followed into Zhang's mansion.
"This guest, you haven't spent your money in vain! Only high-ranking officials and nobles are qualified to come to our mansion! If you want anything, just ask, the things inside this house are far better than those outside the house! The little servant led Sun Yaowu in Zhang's Mansion and quickly walked from the back door to the warehouse.
Sun Yaowu didn't know what to buy......
"Say it quickly, let's go back early after buying, I'm taking you in at risk!" The little guy is in a hurry, don't you come to play with me, right?!
The little guy hurriedly stopped, he kept leading Sun Yaowu on the path, few people passed by, but he was not afraid of being discovered, "What's the matter?" Don't be a gentleman on the beam, pull me here today to step on something, right? ”
"No, no, no, I buy, I buy!" Sun Yaowu was sweating nervously, and hurriedly replied: "But I don't know what to sell, little brother, can you recommend one?" ”
The little guy looked at Sun Yaowu, who had a strong local flavor, with a look of disdain, and said: "The most famous thing in our Zhang Mansion is the twenty-one bottles of perfume, and the cheapest one or two pieces of fragrant pancreas, do you want it?" ”
"Yes, I want fragrant pancreas!" Sun Yaowu said with a weak heart.
"Gotcha!" The little guy felt that Sun Yaowu was not a thief again, so he happily took him to buy the soap from the warehouse housekeeper, looked at his ingot of silver, and said, "Are you sure you don't want perfume?" It's the best gift for your sweetheart! ”
Sun Yaowu thought about it, and returned the money he couldn't spend to his eldest cousin, and said, "Buy it, choose a bottle for me!" ”
"Gotcha! Then you really don't lose what you bought today, our family is all good things! "The little guy has another extra money today, and he is happy to say a few more words to Sun Yaowu.
Sun Yaowu twisted, he didn't know how to answer, he spent the money, and this thing hasn't been done yet!
The little guy continued: "Moreover, this perfume and fragrant pancreas were invented by the pair of cousins in our Zhang Mansion!" Not only is the medical skill excellent, but the sister is very, very beautiful and moving! ”
"Little Sanzi, don't talk nonsense if you can't speak! It's very, very, hahahaha! It was another guy who came to buy something with a guest, and he laughed and corrected: "That should be a beautiful woman with a thousand manners and graceful demeanor!" ”
Xiao Sanzi glared at the little guy who interjected, and then pulled Sun Yaowu back: "Guest, let's go back?" ”
Sun Yaowu was dragged to the back door by the third son, and he hadn't inquired clearly!
"Slow down, I'll rest......" Sun Yaowu panted, "You said that your cousin is as beautiful as a flower?" ”
"That's nature!"
"I don't believe it, unless you take me to see it!"
The third son came back to his senses at this time, and Hang Erlang said: "I said, people buy things carefully, but you let me pick them casually, are you thinking about this?!" ”
Sun Yaowu blushed, and said stiffly: "I just don't believe it, the beautiful girl has already entered the palace, you have never seen the world!" ”
"Oops!" Xiao Sanzi was amused, and looked at the soil buns on the opposite side of the three roads, and finally said: "I know you want to meet, but our girl is very expensive, you can see if you want to meet?" ”
"I just want to prove you wrong, where are there any beautiful women in your Zhang Mansion! Why don't we take a gamble?! Sun Yaowu was anxious, took out the perfume and fragrant pancreas he had just bought, and said: "Just use this bet, I won you and apologize to me, I lost this thing is yours!" ”
It's not a loss! The little third son decided to gamble in his heart!
"That's okay, don't worry about it then!"
Sun Yaowu swore an oath.
The two of them trotted all the way down the path to the big tree at the entrance of Qingfeng House.
The third son instructed: "Don't move, I'll go over and call the door later, you can just take a peek, but remember!" Don't move, or we'll all be beaten out!" ”
Sun Yaowu nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Only then did the third son tidy up his clothes, came to the door of Qingfeng Residence, and said, "Colored flags, colored flags!" ”
The courtyard door of Qingfeng Ju opened in response, and Yilan was sitting in the courtyard bored, sorting out Yiqing's recent transcription of "Journey to the West", and remarking on the cover with a brush - Author: Wu Chengen.
Sun Yaowu's eyes were about to pop out, and he couldn't wait to rush forward to take a closer look: a young green placket robe that looked very much like Dong Xianglan, with soft long hair held diagonally, holding a brush, sitting elegantly......
