Looking at Liu Meibao, who was obviously defensive in front of him but was not so frightened that he was paralyzed and cried, Lu Yan was a little relieved in his heart, in fact, he didn't know what he wanted to do.

When he learned that Liu Meibao refused to accept the letter, his head was hot, so he urged the horse to come over, as for what to do here, is it a question? Is it a plea? It all makes no sense.

After Liu Meibao asked, there was silence all around, the person in front of her did not answer for a long time, she gritted her teeth, and was about to run into the alley with the boldness, just raised her foot, Lu Yan noticed it, and blocked it in a few steps sideways.

Fortunately, Liu Meibao stopped his foot, otherwise he would have hit him, Rao is so, the two are still close, and Liu Meibao has to hurriedly take a few steps back.

"What are you doing?" She lowered her voice and said again, asking with a little more shame in her voice than the nervousness of the previous sentence.

I don't know where in the alley came the sound of talking and moving, and the smell of food wafted in the air.

Song Sanniang is likely to come out to check on the children who have not yet returned home, and Zhou Liangyu may also be walking towards home wearing a cold air.

Lu Yan couldn't help but rub his hands and spoke.

"I. I mean it. His voice was dry.

Maybe this voice is too inappropriate for his image and reputation, but it is appropriate to the image he saw from the letter, and the nervous and frightened Liu Meibao suddenly wanted to laugh.

The real Lu Yan has only met two or three times, and he is a complete stranger, but Lu Yan on the letter unconsciously has the feeling of an acquaintance.

"My lord, how many times have you seen me?" Liu Meibao hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

"Five times." Lu Yan replied quickly, looking at the girl in front of him.

The night is cloudy, and the eyebrows and eyes are not clear. But you can feel the quiet, serene and feminine atmosphere.

My Fair Lady, Lu Yan popped up in his mind the four words that he had only learned recently, and then naturally thought of the remaining four words, good gentleman.

It's a pity that he is not a gentleman.

"I'll be good to you, I'm true..."As if to dispel that trace of panicked inferiority, he hurriedly spoke again, clenching his fist and pounding his chest.

Liu Meibao finally had the courage to raise his head to look at him, and clearly felt that this person seemed to be more nervous than herself, and Liu Meibao couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You knew me before?" She asked. The voice was obviously much softer than just now, and the tension faded, and there seemed to be a faint smile.

She spoke again, which was already beyond Lu Yan's expectations, and a trace of unconcealable joy spread from the bottom of her heart. She's not afraid of me, she's not tired of me, she....she's really nice.

"I don't recognize it." He replied earnestly. Under the cover of the night, he stared at Liu Meibao's face without hesitation, although it was blurry, he was reluctant to move away for a moment.

"Then why?" Liu Meibao asked. Because Liu Meibao is good-looking?

"What, why?" Lu Yan asked a little stunned.

"Why did you take a fancy to me?" Liu Meibao asked.

Because he was more nervous than himself, Liu Meibao was not nervous. He looked at this famous King Lu Yan with interest.

She asked this kind of thing so casually, as if it was saying that the weather was good today.

Lu Yan's face turned red.

He didn't speak, frowning and searching to find the appropriate vocabulary for the gentleness he had learned.

"Is it because of good looks?" Liu Meibao asked again.

It's really good-looking, Lu Yan nodded.

"Oh." Liu Meibao also nodded, and suddenly after solving her doubts, "It's okay, you will see something better in the future." ”

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was wrong to answer like this, or that this girl was wrong to answer like this.

"It's not. That's not what I meant.." He hurriedly said, and couldn't help but take a step forward.

Liu Meibao immediately took a few steps back vigilantly and made a defensive posture.

"Your Excellency." Suddenly, a whispered call came.

Lu Yan's body stiffened.

"I mean it." He paused for a moment. Said slowly, in a low voice. Faded away from Fang Cai's nervous dryness, "I'll be good to you." ”

After saying this, he walked over.

"What are you going to do!" Liu Meibao couldn't help but raise her voice a little and hurriedly retreated.

Lu Yan approached in a few steps, but he suddenly shoved a letter into her hand with a bit of domineering, then turned around and walked quickly, and soon disappeared into the night.

Liu Meibao took the letter and stood there angrily and helplessly.

"Sister." Zhou Liangyu's voice came from behind.

Liu Meibao hurriedly tucked the letter in her sleeve, turned around and looked at Zhou Liangyu, who walked over at a faster pace.

"It's not too late to come back today." She laughed.

"Why are you coming back late?" Zhou Liangyu approached and said with a smile, "Busy? ”

Liu Meibao nodded, and the door in the alley creaked open, and a lantern lit up, illuminating the figure of Song Sanniang looking out.

"Let's go, my aunt is in a hurry." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Zhou Liangyu nodded, and the brother and sister went home together.

After eating, Liu Meibao and Song Sanniang listened to Zhou Liangyu talk about the day away, how to find a bright kiln, how to bargain, and how to sign a contract.

The young man has his own thing to do, although it is difficult to hide the fatigue of running around, but his eyebrows and eyes are full of energy.

"Now not only Guangshunhe, but also many other medicine stores have come to order tin cans." Zhou Liangyu took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"That's where the medicine cabinet is." Song Sanniang hesitated a little and asked.

"Mother, Feng Yao's cabinet is naturally still his kind of tin can, when the pattern was printed, he gave money, as for other medicine stores, some want patterns, some don't, even if they want, it won't be the same as Guang Shunhe's, I took a good look at it, and I also told Daddy Hu, this must not be wrong." Zhou Liangyu explained carefully to Song Sanniang.

Song Sanniang and Liu Meibao both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daddy Hu isn't worried now, is he?" Liu Meibao smiled again, remembering the way he looked at him like a madman when he first dealt with the old man.

"Worried." Zhou Liangyu laughed, "I'm worried that I don't have three heads and six arms, and I can't take over so much business when I see it." ”

After laughing for a moment, knowing that he was tired from running around all day, Song Sanniang asked Zhou Liangyu to rest early. And the three of them dispersed.

Liu Meibao sat at the table as usual, untying her hair while taking out the letter given by Lu Yansai.

For such an arrogant, tough, and unreasonable person, she was very annoyed.

"If you like to write, you can write, I don't see it, you can't force me to read it, right?" She thought indignantly, staring at the envelope on the table for a moment, and pursed her lips, "Just look at it, see what flowers can be written." I just don't reply. ”

The letter was written in a hurry, and the words that were already in shape became crooked.

“.. I can't forget you since I first saw you, but I didn't dare to think about anything like me. How could it be compared to you, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see you again, I don't know what to do to make you notice someone like me. I don't know how to make you feel that I am worthy of matching, so I came up with such a reckless and rude method, and I offended you and please don't be angry, please believe that I have no malicious intent. I just want you to know that I mean the truth, and all I can say is that I will treat you well. If you don't want to reply, you don't have to reply, and I won't force you to ask anything, just please don't refuse my letter, but don't be afraid, I won't force you to do anything, if one day you decide to be married, although I, Lu Yan, am from a reckless and wild man's background, I will never do anything to entangle and harass again....."

After the beginning of spring, it seems to be in the blink of an eye. The earth is covered in green, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and finally goodbye to the harsh winter. Rich and poor, life is more comfortable.

Feng Medicine Cabinet's business is getting better and better. Through the matter of medicinal tea, the reputation of Hezhong Mansion Guangshun and famous.

"Except for the large amount of silver taels paid to the restaurant and the pharmacy, the small head of the idle man on the street is not counted, and the tin cans and medicinal tea raw materials of Zhou Xiaoye are also paid, so far, we have received a total of 53,200 taels of silver......

When the Feng family's account manager reported the number in a trembling voice, the people in the room were stunned.

Although they had calculated in their hearts, when the exact number was said, their hearts were still beating fast and they were all hot.

With this medicinal tea, medicinal tea, they have made the biggest profit since they started the medicine store.

There was a sound of gurgling saliva in the room.

“.. Sir, that's not all. Another steward stepped forward and said.

The people in the room, including the most calm Feng Medicine Cabinet, were a little excited and couldn't bear it, and he stretched out his hand and pressed his heart unnaturally.

"What else?" He asked.

"After the beginning of spring this year, the loss of our medicinal materials is more than half less than in the past...."The steward said with a smile, "Subtracting the cost of purchasing shelves and digging cellars for the storage of medicines, it is 4,000 taels less than last year...."

Less loss is profit.

These words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief again, if it was left at four thousand taels, it would still make everyone excited, but now that there are fifty thousand taels in front of them, four thousand taels is nothing.

"Even if the medicine depot she made up doesn't work, it's enough to have medicinal tea." Someone laughed.

Feng Yaojie smiled, in that girl's heart, the medicine library was what she cared about the most, at least it proved that she was not exaggerating, and it also proved that she did not lose sight of hiring her.

"Wrap a red envelope for Miss Liu." Feng Medicine Cabinet thought for a while and said.

This is as it should be, and there is not a single objection from those present.

"What is the amount?" The chief steward asked.

"Just your portion." Feng Yaojie smiled.

The chief steward responded with a smile, and his heart was full of emotion, look at himself, he has been here for most of his life to get today's position, and this little girl is young, but she has only been here for a few months, and she can be treated as she is the same.

However, he also knows why this Liu Meibao is so valued by the Feng family, and he also lives according to this medicine store, the better the medicine store, the better his own talent, he is very clear about this, and he will never be jealous of Liu Meibao, who has brought such great benefits to drug administration, on the contrary, he will only respect this girl who is much younger than himself.

"Miss Liu hasn't come these days, you can send her home in person." Feng Medicine Cabinet instructed again.

The steward was busy, he didn't dare to delay this matter, and when he came out of Feng's medicine cabinet's house, he paid the money on the account and went to Liu Meibao's house.

When I came to the alley of Liu Meibao's house, I saw several masons busy repairing the walls and filling the leaky roof.

Song Sanniang has already bought this place, and now that the weather is warm, she is in a hurry to let people repair it.

The atmosphere in the alley is especially lively because of the work, with the women of the neighbors offering to help, and the children running around or biting their fingers to watch the adults fiddling with various tools.

Seeing the steward coming, dressed neatly and neatly, although it was not very good, but at first glance, it was a person with some status, and I don't know when it began, in their originally remote alley, there were suddenly more visits from such people.

Someone hurriedly called Song Sanniang.

Song Sanniang came out of the house, still holding a rolling pin in her hand, her apron was stained with white flour, her hair was neatly combed, this section was no longer weaving day and night, plus she ate well, her complexion was much better, and she asked who it was, and the steward came over to say hello with a smile.

"Uncle, are you here?" Liu Meibao also came out of the house when she heard the sound, she was wearing the clothes made of silk that Zhou Liangyu bought, this was the first time she had worn such a clean and decent dress since she crossed here.

After a winter, she grew a little taller, with meat and vegetables, she could eat enough without being hungry, took off her heavy winter clothes and put on a jacket and spring clothes, and gradually showed a little plump wrapped around her body.

The steward greeted the two of them, went into the house, told the meaning of Feng's medicine cabinet, and took out a bag of silver coins.

"This is what I should do, the shopkeeper's kindness." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

The steward looked at it carefully, there was no hypocrisy on her face, and she didn't ask half a sentence about how much money she made from medicinal tea, but she didn't give in too much humility to this money, and accepted it calmly with a polite word.

"I'm busy at home these days, so I can't go to the medicine store, so I just have to ask someone to come to me at home." She said again.

The steward smiled and said politely, and said where to use it, just ask.

Song Sanniang smiled again and left him to eat.

"It's almost finished, so I made noodles and tried my handiwork." She said with a smile.

Hearing this and hearing the shouting outside that Brother Yu was back, Song Sanniang was even happier and watched Zhou Liangyu step in.

The steward said a few words to him again, and then thanked Song Sanniang for his repeated retention.

The somewhat dilapidated house was renovated after a few days of renovation, and Song Sanniang set up a simple banquet to celebrate the new home and entertain the neighbors who were helping the craftsmen.

The white noodles that are not mixed with a little chaff and crust, the vegetable soup with a large piece of meat fragrant, and the craftsmen who work also get a spoonful of wine each, and everyone eats it with great gusto, after all, they are all poor families, and they have not eaten such a good meal for a long time.

For a while, the whole yard was filled with the sound of snoring and eating, and even the noisy children were silent, lying on the corner of the table and desperately pulling food into their mouths, until their stomachs were round and refused to stop.

"This is all Brother Yu'er's ability, he has done a big business..."The neighbors talked with emotion, and looked at the hall with full envy, and Song Sanniang's family was also eating.

"The eldest sister can also do it, you haven't seen it, the one in charge just now is specially here to see her..."Another neighbor said, while lowering his voice, "These days, many old men from the medicine store have come, I heard that the eldest sister has to be invited to their medicine store to do things..."

"These two children are so capable, they are really good people with good rewards, it can be seen that what is sung in those plays is true, and God is watching it." Everyone sighed in a low voice.

For the origin of Song Sanniang's family, it is no secret in Hezhong Mansion, although there are many people who avoid them because of taboos, but most of the low-level people still have relatives, anyway, the officials who died in the hands of the Tartars are always more in awe than those officials who will only hide when they see the Tartars, what abandon the city and flee without a fight, if you really want to escape, how can you be stupid enough to flee to the Tartar circle, it can be seen that there is another truth.

Therefore, for the two children of this family to be so capable, these most ordinary people have found a more reasonable and reasonable explanation, that is, the gods bless, God has mercy, and everything comes true.
