The old lady saw that she was eating, and gently beat her back with her hand, the corners of her eyes twitched in distress, she stepped forward and raised her hand to help rub it, and shouted Caiyun to pour the soup woman, put it under her own young lady's slightly swollen legs, endured and endured, and still shed tears, "My young lady, when have you suffered this hardship, let's go back to Lingfeng City quickly." ”

Caiyue also pouted, and whispered, "That's it, Mrs. has lost weight these days, although Mrs. and Mr. are sincerely filial to the old lady, but the old lady can't really treat Mrs. as a maid, pour a tea has to be done by Mrs., but let the orchid be idle, look at her proud appearance..."

"Alright, don't say it." Jian Wu saw that the chopsticks under the master's hand fell slowly, and guessed that the master must not be feeling good in his heart, so he quickly intercepted Caiyue's words and turned to something else.

"Madam, the steward of Desheng has just come, he has been walking around the city in the past few days, and there is the help of the shopkeeper Mo, but he also found out a little bit of the Wu family's background, it is said that the reputation of the Wu family is very bad, although she is the daughter of a scholarly family, but she has no talent, but she likes luxury, and her clothes and materials are the best, but if there is anything worse than the rest of the ladies, she will lose her temper.

The ancestor of the Wu family was born in the imperial examination, three generations of officials, this generation of officials in the court is the lord of the Wu family, the official worships the household servant, it is said that he is very good at drilling, and he has some scheming. Miss Wu's father is a second, likes elegance, has no real talent and learning, and hangs up an idle job as a suburban county teacher on weekdays to support the façade. ”

Rui Xue drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked, "The Wu family is a scholarly family, why is the family so rich?" Raise your daughter to... Well," she said halfway, and suddenly remembered that Miss Wu was originally the wife of Zhao Fengnian, a golden son who had not passed through the door, and with Zhao Fengnian's extremely proud and protective temper, I am afraid that Miss Wu's extravagant temper was raised by him.

"That's it, let's not talk about it." Rui Xue waved her hand, motioned to the three little girls to take down the dishes and chopsticks, and then leaned on the soft couch, patting the two children who were playing by themselves, and said with a smile, "Mama, our house is in this city, in addition to the Ping An Inn, is there any other industry?" ”

When the old lady saw her young lady's smiling face, she quickly wiped away her tears and responded, "Why did the young lady ask about this?" Speaking of which, Ping An Inn is really an industry on the surface, and there is a shop rented out behind the scenes. At that time, the young lady insisted on giving all the property to the woman in the general's mansion, and I was afraid that in the future, the young lady would be subject to her control, so she only handed over the shop she operated, and the remaining three empty shops were rented out, and there happened to be one in the city. ”

"I don't know which street the shop is on, if the location is good, take it back, let's start a business ourselves." Rui Xue untied Yiran's diaper, and when she saw that the urine was wet, she took off her pants for her, Qin Xin helped bring the clean diaper, and couldn't help asking, "Madam, aren't we going home?" You don't want to stay here forever, do you? ”

Even the three little girls who picked up the table were also listening carefully with their ears, for fear that the master would really want to stay for a long time, Rui Xue was funny, "Don't worry, there is no home anywhere, and I am in a hurry to go back." ”

Everyone looked at each other and was even more curious, "Why does that lady still open a shop here to do business?" ”

Rui Xue took the warm tea handed over by the old grandmother, took a sip and said, "Although we will not live in Tongcheng in the future, after all, this is the foundation of the Zhao family.

Besides, the people here live a very comfortable life, and the income of opening a shop should be much higher than that of Lingfeng City. There is no money to make, this is not the style of my Zhao family, Mr. will be busy for a month or two, let's just start the business, and also find a livelihood for you, so as not to worry about those useless people every day. ”

The big and small maids all laughed, and Qin Xin said, "Great, the business of the shop is booming, let the Zhao family see our wife's ability!" ”

"You help me think about it, what do the people of Tongcheng love, and what kind of business can our family make a steady profit?"

Qin Xin said half of Ruixue's thoughts, no one is a wooden person, she is treated by people all day long, she is just good-tempered, and then she thinks about Zhao Fengnian, it is inevitable that she will be a little angry, she can't open a shop, her own family will have more income, and her children will have a place to settle down in the future, and by the way, they will also knock on the Zhao family. As long as you have a good father, you have a good background, but wisdom is not something that you can have with a good background.

Everyone has a new goal, and they are all interested in discussing together, some say to open a silk shop, some say to open a restaurant, change it back and forth, and finally have no idea.

Rui Xue smiled and said, "It's still the same sentence, what do people in this city like to do the most?" ”

Jian Wu frowned and said, "It is said that the people in the south are good poets and books, but with the master coming here, I haven't heard any good poems, but men, women and children all like to gossip..."

Niuniu was playing with her two little nephews, and when she heard this, she said, "The last time I went to the teahouse with Sister Wu, those people's eyes lit up when they heard my sister's bad words. ”

Rui Xue patted the puffy girl and said with a smile, "Since everyone in this city likes to gossip, why don't we open a teahouse and find a place for them to eat and talk, how about it?" ”

"Talking while eating, Miss is talking about selling dim sum tea?" The old lady asked.

Ruixue had been to Guangzhou in her previous life, and was very impressed by the fact that people there liked to drink morning tea, and the family, or a few friends, made an appointment in which teahouse, eating delicious shrimp dumplings, xiaolongbao, all kinds of porridge, chatting with Tiannan and Haibei, was very comfortable.

The people of this city are so fond of gossip and gossip, if there is such a place to eat and chat, it will be full.

Everyone listened to Rui Xue's careful explanation, and they all applauded happily, the master likes to make food, they are all familiar with these maids, and each of them has two good foods, speaking of which, compared to the dim sum eaten in the teahouse, whether it is xiaolongbao or soup dumplings, it is a hundred times more delicious, and it is definitely a good business.

Just do it, the old mother personally went to the front yard to tell her son to take care of the shop, and the rest of the girls of all sizes chirped and discussed what snacks to make.

Rui Xue also pondered for a long time, how to make the shrimp dumplings she had eaten in her previous life, how to make the transparent dough, but she had a headache and barely remembered that it should be put in the flour to wash off the gluten, and the remaining layer of flour paste was mixed into the fine noodles.

Of course, this needs to be done by hand and studied carefully.

When the sky was about to get dark, Zhao Fengnian returned with a horse, and when he entered the second gate, Orchid hurriedly stepped forward, saluted and said, "Young master, have you had dinner?" The slave asked the cook to prepare a few dishes that the young master liked, and sent them to the young master's study. ”

Zhao Fengnian rubbed his brain, which was blown by the wind, shook his head and said, "No need, you go and serve the master, the garden must be ready to eat." ”

Orchid's face darkened, and after thinking about it, she said, "Young master, the garden is a little busy today, I'm afraid that I haven't prepared the young master's dinner." ”

"Why is the young lady busy?" Zhao Fengnian thought that it was the old father who made things difficult for Ruixue, so he frowned and said, "But what does the master command?" ”

"No, the young lady didn't come to serve the master at night, I heard that I asked for half a bag of fine noodles from the stove, washed and played with water, and I was tired..."

Zhao Fengnian heard that her tone was a little disrespectful, and immediately swept over with a cold eye, and scolded, "She is the head of my Zhao family, not to mention half a bag of fine noodles, even if she sprinkles rice noodles every day to play, my Zhao family can afford it." ”

"Yes, young master, it's the slave who lost her words." Orchid hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake, and wanted to say a few words of apology, but Zhao Fengnian had already stepped into the main courtyard to greet his old father.

Orchid looked at his figure and turned the courtyard door, and the hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but clench into fists...

Rui Xue held the copper basin, carefully looked at the batter at the bottom of the basin, and finally picked a little bit with chopsticks to taste, and smiled helplessly, "That's it, I can't taste anything good or bad like this." Tonight, it's dried on a charcoal pot and ground into a fine powder, so let's try it tomorrow. ”

Ruixue took out a handkerchief and slapped the flour on her body, and when she looked up, she saw the child's father coming in from outside the courtyard gate, so she greeted her with a smile and asked, "Are you tired on the road?" ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, reached out to pat her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's not snowing again, why did you get white?" ”

"I won't tell you for the time being, keep it secret, and if you succeed, I'll surprise you." On a whim, Ruixue sold a pass.

The couple entered the house together, and when they heard that the male master hadn't eaten yet, Caiyun Caiyue fried two dishes neatly, with red bean porridge and fine noodle steamed buns, Rui Xue said with a smile while distributing vegetables, "Today is really busy, you are wronged to eat a few bites, and tomorrow you will make a few more of your favorite food." ”

Zhao Fengnian responded while eating, thought about it, and said, "The suburbs and counties are all well cooked, and my father's health is also recovering well, I will go out again tomorrow and tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to come back." ”

Rui Xue's hands paused, and she was a little reluctant in her heart, "Half a moon? Where are you going, far away? ”

Zhao Fengnian patted her hand and said with a smile, "A few days ago, the trade route with Xiqingguo was opened, the first transaction, I always have to go and see it in person, if this trade route is stable, the Zhao family will not be able to make continuous progress within twenty years, plus Zhao Yang still has some talent for business, we will go back to Lingfeng City in the future, and we don't have to worry about things here." ”

Rui Xue felt even more distressed when she heard this, and sighed softly, "Shopkeeper, do you say that I am too selfish, if I stay here with you, don't you have to be so tired?" ”

Zhao Fengnian put down the dishes and chopsticks, motioned for the maids to pick them up, then took his wife to sit on the soft couch, and said with a smile, "What stupid words, I wasn't forced back to Lingfeng City by you, I really like the quiet and tranquil there, here... It's where I grew up, but... Personnel are messy, and they are far less comfortable than in Yunjia Village. In the future, we will honor our father together as husband and wife, and watch our two children grow up and start a family, and we will have nothing more to ask for..."

Rui Xue stuck to her lover's chest, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, and nodded slightly, although she really didn't think that those proud and selfish Zhao clan people were worth his hard work, but as long as he wanted to do it, she would definitely support it...
