Chapter 293: Some People Are Happy and Some Are Worried
Ruixue looked left and right, and saw no shadow of the child's father, so she asked, "What about the shopkeeper?" ”
Caiyun flipped through her dress and said, "Mr. brought Brother Feng Tiao, and he went out half an hour ago, saying that he would definitely come back before noon, and asked Mrs. not to worry about it." ”
"Oh, what's for breakfast?" Rui Xue heard that Zhao Fengnian was not there, her expression faded, she asked a few words, and after washing, she changed into a blue cardigan, an ivory-colored long skirt, and inserted two acacia flowers in her sideburns.
Caiyun quietly breathed a sigh of relief and helped her to eat, Niuniu has been wearing Caiyun Caiyue's new dress in the past few days, every time she has to measure her, cut a few sets of good clothes to wear, she twisted her body, refused to live or die, and shouted that her animal skin clothes and pants were the best.
At this time, seeing my sister dressed up so beautifully, after eating this meal, I always couldn't help but peek twice, Rui Xue looked at it in her eyes, smiled secretly in her belly, but pretended not to see it on her face, after all, she couldn't coerce and lure this girl to do everything, she had to take the initiative to change.
Sure enough, the dinner table was withdrawn, Da Zhuang and Heizi ran over and called Wu Yu away, and seeing that there were only a few of them left in the courtyard, Niuniu came to the front and whispered, "Sister, you are so good-looking today!" ”
"Yes, Niuniu thinks her sister looks good?" Rui Xue remained silent, and her subordinates continued to sort out her sewing basket, as if they didn't care, and responded casually.
Niuniu reached out and touched Ruixue's dress, feeling that the fine yarn was extremely soft, and the silk was cool in her hand, so she grinned timidly, and said timidly, "Sister, Niuniu also wants to look as good as my sister." ”
Rui Xue put down the embroidery thread in her hand, pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile, "Niuniu likes such dresses, then there are still a lot of materials in our warehouse, and my sister will ask you to cut a few sets." However, if you dress like this and climb a tree or a mountain, you will spoil such a good dress. ”
Niuniu hurriedly shook her head, "Niuniu is learning the rules, if she learns well, she is a good woman, and she can look so good, isn't it?" ”
"Of course, our Niuniu is already good-looking, and if she dresses up, she will definitely look better than her sister."
"Then I want to learn the rules, and I must study hard." Niu Niu was overjoyed, reached out and picked up a tea bowl, ran to the yard and put it on her head, and walked around, looking at it from a distance, it was also a little stable.
Rui Xue was amused, and called Caiyun to go to the warehouse to pick up the materials, and picked the brightly colored concubine color, cuibi, goose yellow, and even big red, all of which were taken out and piled on the table to discuss, what style to do.
Rui Xue thought that Niuniu took advantage of the Caiyun sisters' new clothes, so she opened her mouth to reward each of them with a set, which was considered compensation, and Caiyun, who had always been steady, almost jumped up with joy.
It happened that Yingzi came in to return to the matter, saw these good materials, and also loved them, took the initiative to take two sets, and said with a smile that it should be made into a placket, a neckline, and an embroidered pattern, Caiyun also chattered, the last time I entered the city, I saw the popular styles in the city, and the two of them said very lively.
Rui Xue was not good at this, and after listening to it for a long time, she felt sleepy, so she went into the house and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, she actually saw Zhao Fengnian sitting beside her, and she immediately got up in surprise and said, "Shopkeeper, you're back." ”
Zhao Fengnian nodded, stretched out his hand to straighten her sleeping sideburns, and said with a smile, "Not long after I came back, I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't call you." ”
Rui Xue blushed a little, "Since I was pregnant with our child, I have been like a pig, eating and sleeping all day long, there is no use for anything, and the dock shop and the city shop have not been seen for a long time." ”
"If you are concerned, I will accompany you for a walk in a few days, but these days you have to rest at home, and it just so happens that the workshop is the day to settle the bill, so it is good to help me sort out the accounts."
"The shopkeeper, don't you pay me my salary?"
"Naturally, all the inputs are yours."
The couple talked and laughed for a while, tidied up their dresses, and went out of the house, and after sitting in the hall for a while, Caiyun came in with a bowl of golden porridge and a plate of spicy cucumbers.
Rui Xue waved her hand and said, "It's lunch soon, let's eat with everyone in a while." ”
Zhao Fengnian persuaded, "It's still half an hour for lunch, you can eat a bowl of pads to pad your stomach first." ”
Rui Xue couldn't, so she scooped a spoonful and sent it to her mouth, remembering that she had just returned to her soul that day, she and Zhao Fengnian had a poor life, and they drank rice porridge every day, but now that the days are better, they really haven't drunk it for a few months, so they smiled and said, "Is this a bittersweet memory, our family hasn't served rice porridge on the table for a long time." ”
Zhao Fengnian nodded and said with a smile, "As the old saying goes, accumulating good fortune is to save longevity, so it's better to stay until late autumn, let's buy some cloth and cotton for the poor old people in the nearby villages." ”
In the past six months, seeing that the family's shops have opened one after another, the workshop business is good, and the cow bean business will soon have thousands of taels of silver, and even the Anguo Marquis Mansion, maybe there is a greater wealth waiting to fall, Rui Xue sometimes feels deeply panicked, always wondering if Fu Lu is crowded together, and there will be pain left in the future.
Of course, she also knew that she was a little worried, after all, most of these were obtained by the hard work of their husband and wife, but they were still a little apprehensive, and when they heard Zhao Fengnian say this, they naturally agreed, "The shopkeeper is right, it is better to send it directly to the poor house than to give it up to the temple." ”
Zhao Fengnian raised his hand to refill the bowl of porridge for her, and when he saw that she was eating sweetly, his heart was even more happy, "Let's just give up the half-moon tofu in the temple." ”
The husband and wife discussed, served the porridge after eating, and went to the front yard account room hand in hand.
In a blink of an eye, the time has entered September, the autumn is high and cool, the villagers are busy sharpening the sickle, ready to help the Zhao family cut the rice, Ruixue helps the colorful clouds and the moon often go to the edge of the field to walk, seeing the golden rice, swaying with the autumn wind, like waves of golden waves, the heart is as sweet as eating honey.
Some people are happy, and some people are worried, not to mention how Ruixue is happy here, just say that the Zhao family in Tongcheng, eight hundred miles away, originally the old man of the Zhao family fell ill and couldn't walk in words, the eldest son of the Zhao family disappeared for no reason, the second son of the Zhao family took over all the shops, Mrs. Zhao was in charge of the inner courtyard, the mother and son were in power, not to mention the scenery, how comfortable they were.
But the good days did not pass half a year, and suddenly heard the news that the eldest prince was not dead, and would soon come back to reorganize the Zhao family's shop, the mother and son immediately panicked, and looked at the maids in the house, all like the inner response sent back by the eldest son, so ruthless, and finally took a large sum of silver out, bought the assassin and completely ended the matter, I thought that the person was highly poisoned, not to mention that the skill was completely lost, but also greatly damaged, this death is already a sure thing, I didn't expect their mother and son to wait for the left and no news, and there is no shadow on the right, After more than ten days, I finally couldn't bear it, and this night, I sent someone to the teahouse to inquire.
As a result, the news was there, but the mother and son were completely furious, Mrs. Zhao smashed the teacup in her hand and scolded, "What is a mission failure, what is a pension silver, is it that the assassin is still like a soldier, the mission failed, and he didn't give an explanation to the employer, but he still had to pay for the silver, what is our Zhao family, cornucopia, you can get the silver at any time?" ”
Zhao De was timid, glanced at his mother timidly, stretched out his hand to refill a new cup of tea for her, and then asked cautiously, "Mother, if we don't give the silver, will the assassin come to the door to retaliate?" ”
"He dares, he doesn't want a reputation anymore, as long as we spread the news of their mission failure and keep their reputation, there will be no business to do in the future." In the past two months, the Zhao family's business has declined more and more, and the income is less than half of the original, and Mrs. Zhao has become more and more stingy.
Zhao De still wanted to persuade a few sentences, but Mrs. Zhao glared, "Look at your unproductive appearance, why did I give birth to such a waste material as you, you have taken care of your shops all these days, whoever has different intentions, you have to remember, wait for someone to find a better kung fu in the rivers and lakes, completely get rid of that cheap species, and drive them out." ”
"Yes, mother." Zhao De sent his mother out, turned to straighten his waist, shook his head and said, "Long hair and short knowledge, women love money, and don't you spend money when you earn it, it really makes those assassins angry, who knows what they will do." ”
One of his cronies stepped forward to flatter and echo, "Childe is wise, but what Madame said also makes sense, the left and right are for silver, it is better to ask the better assassin of the Assassin Alliance to take action, so that there will be no future trouble, and another silver will be saved." ”
Zhao De's eyes rolled quickly, and he nodded for a while, "This is a good idea, if this is done, I am afraid that my mother will praise me for being smart." ”
"That is, the second young master is a smart person, not to mention anything else, it depends on the fact that the shop at home is now well organized by the second young master, and no one in this Tongcheng will praise twice."
Zhao De was photographed very comfortably, and he tidied up his clothes proudly, and then waved his fan and said, "This matter will be handed over to you, if it is done, this young master will reward you with a shopkeeper to do it." ”
The chief was ecstatic, became the shopkeeper, and the entry and exit of a shop were in his hands, wanting to cheat this nest of waste, greedy for some money, but it was too easy, a hundred times stronger than nodding all day long, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you for the young master's favor." ”
"Get up, when things are over, go to Jinfeng Tower to find me, Xiao Haitang is still waiting for me to eat and drink." Zhao De took a square step and walked out of his door with a lower waist.
Not long after the two left, under the eaves outside the study window, two thin figures suddenly appeared, one of them moved his stiff shoulders slightly, and laughed quietly, "Brother Hou, this Zhao family's silver is easy to earn, why don't we rob it?" ”
The person called Brother Hou smiled even more happily, "Brother Chen, don't look at my age, I am a light kung fu, I have also done that black hand business when I was young, let's just go back to our old business, and we can't rob the business of our colleagues in the rivers and lakes." ”
The two laughed pleasantly, turned over on the eaves, stepped lightly on the roof tiles, and ran in the direction where the master and servant had disappeared.
