Chapter 51: A Good Show
Nie Xiaoan and Nie Xiaonian went to the academy, and even the Fuhai case was settled. Lian began to prepare with Nie Xiaofan to open a new dim sum shop.
On this day, the two sat together again to discuss matters:
"I chose the location of the shop on the edge of the original Juxian Building. It's right on Zhenxing Street in the East City."
Nie Xiaofan looked dazed, she didn't understand these streets! Lian Shi said again: "Zhenxing Street is the most prosperous place in the capital. I also have an embroidery shop there. Xiao'e usually takes some work to do for her nurse. ”
After all, Nie Xiao'e is a young lady. Lian is not good at saying that she exchanged embroidery for money. Just talk about her nurse.
Nie Xiaofan nodded and said, "I am very trustworthy in the place that my aunt chose. When the decoration is finished, let's go and have a look. It's just that since we are a dim sum shop. The dim sum chef is the most important. I don't know if there is a candidate for my aunt?"
Lian said: "Coincidentally, I told your grandmother about this, and she was extremely supportive. He said he was going to help us teach the four masters. In addition, I kept the dim sum chef in Juxian Building. There are eight of them. Your grandmother raised four for us. We have twelve masters. ”
This scale is good as a newly opened store.
The two discussed the name of the newly opened store, and finally combined Juxianlou and Heyizhai to settle on the name "Hexianzhai".
Lian Shi took a silver mold in his hand and showed it to Nie Xiaofan: "You see, this kind of flower mold is small and compact, and this other family can't make it." There is a single Juxian building. Lian's expression was indescribably proud.
Nie Xiaofan said with a smile: "That is, it has the reputation of Juxian Building and Heyi Zhai. And then there is the aunt who is strategizing. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it busy!"
This was said in a festive manner, and even the clan was happy to hear it.
Nie Xiaofan gave Lian some recipes for dim sum. They are all desserts that children love. It can be given out as a gift at the time of opening.
In his previous life, Nie Xiaofan also used to make Doudou to eat. That's the only benefit of the traverser. There are skills that others don't have. Now Nie Xiaofan lied that he saw it in a book. She ate well, so she wrote to Lian.
Lian Shi did not doubt him, and reached out to take it. Then he asked, "I have called for someone to repair it." It can be opened five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival at the latest. When are you going to see the shop? I'll take you there. ”
Nie Xiaofan said: "I want to go to the temple to put a stick of incense on my mother these days. Auntie, do you have any good temple recommendations?"
It's not just to incense with the Jiang family. The main reason is that Nie Xiaofan hasn't dreamed of Doudou for a few days, and she is really worried. Thinking about it, the only way to do it is to put incense on the Buddha. Ask him to bless Doudou.
If it was before, Nie Xiaofan would never believe it. But now she can only rely on the Buddha. Although Lian was puzzled, he didn't say anything.
Nie Xiaofan said: "It's just three days later!" Lian said: "It just so happens that I want to go too, I'll take you with me." It's cheaper, too. ”
The two discussed, and Nie Xiaofan got up and saw a blue and white bamboo and stone banana jade pot spring vase on the Lian family's Bogu shelf. She said: "I remember that my aunt has a white-glazed plum bottle here in the prime of life. Why did you change it today?"
She remembered that the plum vase was extremely bright, and she specially asked Aunt Yu when she saw it that day.
Lian said with a smile: "Now that Juxian Building is gone, although I don't have many guests here." But in the end, it should be more low-key. Therefore, it was replaced with an ordinary spring bottle. ”
Nie Xiaofan smiled, Xindao is such an ordinary ornament, and it will cost hundreds of thousands in the future generations. That's the case here with the Shan Lian clan. The wealth of the family can be seen.
It's a pity that it's declining in the end!
After sending Nie Xiaofan away, Aunt Yu pinched Lian's shoulder and said, "Madam, we are not short of silver now." This dim sum shop works hard and can't make a lot of money a year, so why bother?"
Lian smiled: "I used to manage Juxian Building, and I made money every day. But it's all at home. Now this and Xianzhai are my own efforts. The meaning is different.
"And I always think that one day I can reopen Juxian Building"
Aunt Yu said: "It's a pity that we don't have the ability to defend Juxian Tower now." Madam, guess what? I bought the Li family of Ji'en Gong in our Juxian Building. I actually bought the recipe of Juxian Building at a low price from your mother's hand."
"Can you inquire clearly? is it his house?" said Lian. "That's the Queen's maiden family, what do they want to do?"
Aunt Yu said: "This must be to reopen Juxian Building and earn all the money from Juxian Building to his house!"
"Speaking of which, the Jien family was also about to decline before. More than ten years ago, Empress Zhu somehow fell down. It was this good fortune that fell to their family. Now I am thinking that my family is poor, and I will find a way to make money, and the concubine heard that Ji Engong has sold it several times before."
"Talky!" Lian reprimanded: "Is this also what we can say?"
"Let's let him open it, no matter how rich our family is, after all, we can't beat the powerful one!"
Lian said this, but he was still a little sad in his heart. simply walked on the Luo Han collapse, because the aunt knocked on the leg Mijue.
The Lian clan was thinking about the beheaded Empress Zhu and the Zhu family.
The wife of the Zhu family at that time came from behind the Jiangmen. Lian also told Nie Xiaofan about the haunting of her private house.
The house is in Mao'er Alley. Not far from Lian's house.
If the Zhu family does not fall, the current queen will indeed not be the turn of the Li family.
It is said that when Dasheng Taizu fought the country, there were two sworn brothers who helped each other in life and death. Taizu was very affectionate, and he personally promised to share the country with two good brothers. Taizu personally named Han's second brother as the only king with a different surname in Dasheng: King Pingxi. The king of Pingxi guarded the northwest and had 200,000 mercenaries. He also set up Zhu Sandi as the Duke of Chengguo, and established the younger sister of the Duke of Chengguo as the queen. So far, the queen of Dasheng has come out of the Zhu family.
In the generation of Emperor Chengshun, Dasheng has been established for a hundred years. Han Zhu's second door is powerful, and Emperor Chengshun is very jealous. Although several generations of emperors suppressed Han and Zhu Ermen countless times during this period, these two gates helped each other, and the whole body was moved, and the Western Xia Kingdom was eyeing each other, and the imperial court could only rely on the King of Pingxi to guard it.
Thirteen years ago, the former Empress Zhu killed the six princes. Emperor Chengshun Long Yan was furious and condemned the Zhu family. And the young Chengguo Gong was found out by Jinyiwei for forcibly occupying the people's fields. The emperor ordered Zhou Shaohua and the then King of Runan to thoroughly investigate the Zhu family.
In the end, Zhou Shaoyang and King Runan found out that the Zhu family and Empress Zhu resold their official positions. The price is clearly marked. Regard the law and discipline of the court as nothing.
The Zhu family was domineering, and when Cheng Guogong was the son of the world, he often bullied men and women. Do no evil. There are countless crimes, big and small. Emperor Chengshun was furious and sent Queen Zhu into the cold palace and ordered the Zhu family to be beheaded. Half a year later, Empress Zhu died of illness.
At this point, the once-prosperous Zhu family has declined. Not even a single root remained.
The corners of Lian's mouth hooked a mocking smile, speaking of which, Lian's family is also a famous family in Qingzhou. It is also said that defeat is defeat.
In the end, they were all picked up cheaply by the Li family!
It's really not a long sight! So how good is the Li family?
Why are you lucky to be at his house?
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Nie Xiaofan returned to the Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard, and Nie Xiao'e was already waiting at the banquet place. Seeing her coming, Nie Xiao'e stuck out her tongue mischievously. Nie Xiaofan didn't know why.
Nie Xiao'e beckoned to her, and Nie Xiaofan sat down in front of her.
Nie Xiao'e said: "Didn't you say that day that you suspected that the Heart Sutra I embroidered was wanted by Zhou Chongyan?
Nie Xiaofan asked, "What are you embroidering this?" Nie Xiao'e blinked and said, "I sent this to my aunt and grandmother, and I said that I honored her and embroidered it myself." What do you think she'll do if she finds out?"
Nie Xiaofan instantly understood her purpose, because Zhou Chongyan had been punished by Mrs. Zhou for embroidering the Heart Sutra. Zhou Chongyan invited someone to embroider outside to perfunctory Mrs. Zhou, and it happened that the Heart Sutra was from Nie Xiao'e's hand! Nie Xiao'e wanted to expose her lies at this time.
Nie Xiaofan said: "You can think about it, your method is not good for you." If Mrs. Zhou knew that you were working outside the embroidery."
Nie Xiao'e said disapprerovingly: "What's that? At most, I don't have a good impression of me." Zhou Chongyan humiliated us so much that day, and now I have the opportunity to teach her a lesson, I have to endure it, that would be stupid!"
These words were against Nie Xiaofan's temper, and it was good to ask Mrs. Zhou to reprimand Zhou Chongyan. It will inevitably make Mrs. Zhou angry and hurt, and it is not a good deal, she said, "Then how are you going to send it?"
Nie Xiao'e said: "Don't you have correspondence with Zhou Baozhu? Let's just say that our sisters are filial to Mrs. Zhou."
Nie Xiaofan said in his heart that this is a good idea, but what kind of character is Old Madam Zhou?
Nie Xiaofan's eyes moved, and he said, "You can put things here with me first." In two days, my aunt will take me to the temple. I happened to be out a little bit. ”
Nie Xiao'e didn't doubt him, and turned her head to talk to Nie Xiaofan about Nie Baijun's gossip: "Do you know that my father's boss gave him two concubines."
Nie Xiaofan really hadn't heard of it, thinking that they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to tell her. Now Nie Xiao'e is bold, and Baba still came to talk about this. She was deliberately surprised and asked, "What kind of boss is this, and you still send a concubine?"
Nie Xiao'e was a girl who had not left the pavilion in the end, and blushed and said, "You should be quiet, I heard that grandmother is very happy and wants to set up a table for them." Don't you understand, if this is a particular person, how shameful it is that this kind of woman of unknown origin can't enter the door?"
Nie Xiaofan has heard of this rule, but it is okay for Old Lady Nie to not pay attention to this person, at this time, she built a banquet for Nie Baijun to take a concubine during the Jiang family's filial piety period, what role can she do except the disgusting and dead Jiang family? I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh when you arrive!
Nie Xiaofan said: "The affairs of adults are not something we can manage, let them be lively." Let's just not mix!"
When Nie Xiao'e heard her say this, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's right that you can think so, I'm afraid you'll be angry." Actually, what I mean, those two people are in peace, and they can't get in the way of us, so don't be angry with your father about this!"
Nie Xiaofan gently hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "No, I'll just watch a show!"
The best is yet to come!
