Chapter 64: Slipping Out
Lian was very happy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Originally, she and Nie Xiaofan were **** shares, but now they have become ****. Lian is not that shallow person. Once Hexian Zhai has the addition and fame of potpourri cake. It has become the number one sign of dim sum in the capital.
At that time, if you open a few more semicolons, it is estimated that one percent of the profit will be more than the previous sixty percent, let alone four times?
Lian seems to see the hope of the rise of Juxian Building. She picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea, hiding the excitement in her heart.
Lian's family has fallen, and Lian's family is not sad for those cold relatives who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures. It's a pity for her to Juxian Building. As the daughter of the Lian family, she is proud of Juxian Building. Now I am naturally sad for Juxian Building.
Nie Xiaofan was stunned by the pie that fell from the sky.
It stands to reason that Mrs. Jiang should love Nie Xiaonian more. Why did this good thing fall on her head?
didn't even mention Nie Xiaonian. Is it because they have a deep relationship between their siblings and sisters? It should be so, otherwise there would be no other explanation.
"Does grandmother have to make this flower cake every day?" asked Nie Xiaofan.
"Your grandmother taught an apprentice and made potpourri with her every day. But don't worry, I've already discussed it with her. Except for three days before opening. We only make 10 servings a day. And you need to make a deposit one month in advance. ”
Lian's expression was indescribably happy, this potpourri cake was a dim sum that even Emperor Chengshun praised heavily. At this time, why worry about the business not booming?
Nie Xiaofan said: "There is a war in the northwest, I wonder if it will affect our business?"
Lian Shi listened to Nie Xiaofan's words and smiled: "You kid, this Northwest War will happen once in a few years." Let's do a little business. How can this be affected?"
Nie Xiaofan laughed dryly, Dasheng's national strength is prosperous, and there is still a little bit of a small war in the frontier war. Although martial law is under martial law in Kyoto, the daily lives of the people are not affected.
Only Nie Xiaofan, who is in a peaceful era, will be very sensitive to war. It is said that she occasionally opens her mind here, thinking about whether to find craftsmen to develop modern weapons like some traversers, and finally start a war to unify the Central Plains in a foreign country and become the empress. And then continue to recruit beautiful men to achieve equality between men and women...
It's not too pretty!
Nie Xiaofan smirked when he thought of this, Lian looked puzzled, and said, "It's not this that we should be worried about now..."
Nie Xiaofan quickly came back to his senses, and slapped himself in his mind again, "It's a gaffe again!"
Lian's words brought Nie Xiaofan back to reality, and she sat down seriously, looking at Lian's serious face. Nie Xiaofan immediately understood what Lian meant.
As soon as the Lian family fell, the Lian family was expelled, and the matter of seizing the Lian family's private property was put on the agenda by the old couple. Old Lady Nie just took the lead, and Lian and Nie Xiaofan made the plan magnify the contradiction between Nie Baijun and Old Lady Nie. Angry Mrs. Nie. Nie Xiao'e planted a thunder next to Old Lady Nie again. Obviously, Old Lady Nie won't get better for a while.
Old lady Nie is not good at finding fault directly, and it is estimated that she is now waiting for an opportunity to find out the fault of the Lian family. So that you can achieve your goal in one fell swoop. Although he will not target Nie Xiaofan for the time being, she and the Lian family are now in the same camp, so they naturally have to worry about the Lian family's worries.
Anyone who does everything has to have a reason. The old lady Nie has lost all her family property over the years, and secretly instructed the old lady to make money crazy. He didn't even care about blood and family affection.
Why is he so short of money? And he's been hiding it, obviously it can't be known. In Nie Xiaofan's memory, the old lady Nie has been working as an official outside for many years, and she didn't go home to live for a long time until after Zhishi. Even though his family affection is cold, he is extremely face-conscious, and if it is a trivial matter, he will never let his wife become a joke in the city.
If his secret is shaken out at this time, at least Nie Baijun must know. Then the two old men without Nie Baijun's support have become almost the same as ordinary old men and old ladies who rely on the old and sell the old...
The decision was made, Lian and Nie Xiaofan discussed the excuse of finding Nie Baijun, and Nie Xiaofan did not return from Xifu until sunset.
Nie Xiaofan sat upright for a day, and when he returned to the Zhuxiang Courtyard, he suddenly lay down on the couch. With a long exhale:
Life in ancient times was not so wonderful, and women could not be their own masters. If you encounter such an unreliable elder, you can only cut it by hand...
Nie Xiaofan wanted to rest for a while, but then thought that Zhou Baozhu's letter had not yet been replied to. In this ancient era when communication was backward, the reply must be fast, otherwise people will have to wait another day.
Nie Xiaofan ordered the lamp again, sat in front of the desk and opened Zhou Baozhu's letter, thinking about how to write the reply while reading.
In the first paragraph, Mrs. Zhou naturally told her to take care of her body, and sent her some tonics.
This is simple, as usual, thank you for your concern, please aunt and grandmother.
Nie Xiaofan looked at the brocade box and told Liu Yu to put all these things in the warehouse. Then I read the letter, and then Mrs. Zhou asked her if she had asked Mr. Liu to check the pulse again, but she asked the name of the precious medicinal materials?
Nie Xiaofan thought about it, and then he did send a small servant to invite Mr. Liu to come to the door, and I don't know if he was slacking off or if the rules were like this, he only said that Miss Nie's illness would not be diagnosed until the cold season when she had a cough.
Nie Xiaofan didn't know what the reason why Old Madam Zhou valued him, so he didn't trust him too much. Just put that aside.
So how do you reply to this paragraph?
Nie Xiaofan thought about it, and said it straight, anyway, if he doesn't come, I can't help it.
Then there are some trivial matters of Zhou Baozhu's own, she can't play with the concubines in the house, and the only concubine, Zhou Chongyan, is not compatible with her. Therefore, now she has told Nie Xiaofan many things on her mind.
After Zhou Chongyan was stung in the face by a bee, the queen mother sent the female officials around her to deliver ointment to Zhou Chongyan every day, making her tremble, and she was swaying in the house all day long with a bun face. Two days ago, a little girl beside Zhou Baozhu saw Zhou Chongyan dodging, Zhou Chongyan actually said that she disliked her, and punished the girl for kneeling in the sun... When Zhou Baozhu found out, the girl had already suffered from heat stroke.
Nie Xiaofan paused when she saw this, Zhou Baozhu had always been proud, but at this time, she caused trouble to her family because of her pursuit of Han Maodian, and with her temperament, she should be able to tolerate Zhou Chongyan, who was in the limelight, at this time, also in order not to annoy the old lady. Nie Xiaofan looked down again, and sure enough, Zhou Baozhu said:
“... Although I am angry in my heart, Friday has become the weight of the Zhou family in the harem, so I have to endure this moment. If she disposes of her subordinates, I will have to deal with her, which will inevitably make people feel that she is not valued by the Zhou family, which is not conducive to her gaining a firm foothold in the palace..."
Nie Xiaofan smiled, although Zhou Baozhu was loved by thousands and acted willfully, he was still very clear.
Looking down further, it turned out that the queen had been urging Zhou Chongyan to enter the palace since Concubine Min's birthday, and she urged it again yesterday. Mrs. Zhou had already set a plan to send her to the palace in five days.
I think it is because Concubine Min is in the limelight, and the queen is in a hurry, so she is eager to win over Zhou Youxiang. Nie Xiaofan felt that he was the truth...
Zhou Baozhu never had to see her again. So in order to celebrate, she sneaked out of the house to play for a day...
Nie Xiaofan rubbed her eyes, and then looked at the letter, it was indeed written that she "sneaked" out of the house.
It turned out that since the Northwest War, Zhou Youxiang was so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he didn't have much time to discipline her. That's why she had an opportunity.
She went out of the house this time and met Han Maodian...
