Imagine the same, if it weren't taken from books, where would she get so many ideas for a young girl.

However, not everyone can have this brain. Xia Chongxiao knew that Lan Yi was low-key, so he didn't ask much. If the business of this oil mill continues, it must be the "idea" in Lan Yi's mind.

"'The book's own golden house' is the most suitable for Lan Mei. However, the business of this oil mill is getting bigger and bigger, and Xia Shun is afraid that he will not be able to keep accounts in charge of people, so I think we have to find another stable person to be in charge of the account room. Xia Chongxiao said, introducing the next topic.

Xia Shun also nodded, he was not very good at accounts, although there is a Mr. Accounts now, but the pass still has to be controlled by him, if he can find a helper, it is very suitable: "This account room must have experience, a clear brain, a fine temperament, and a wrong one, we have to find one." ”

Lan Yi glanced at Wang Linxi, who was still thinking about how to find seeds and extract oil, and asked, "Big brother, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Xia Chongxiao raised his fan and pointed: "Why do you need to look for it again, isn't Brother Lin Xi ready-made." ”

Wang Lin was stunned, he didn't expect this to be his turn.

Lan Yi understood what Xia Chongxiao meant, this business was originally done by herself and the Xia family brothers and sisters, but on her side, only Wang Linxi and Wang Linyuan followed the two brothers to run errands, and it was inconvenient for her to come forward, so it seemed that she was weaker. If Wang Linxi manages the accounts, he can also know the affairs of the oil mill well, and he is not afraid of breaking the business because Xia Shun or others have different intentions.

Xia Chongxiao really did business with himself honestly, so he would put forward such an idea, Lan Yi smiled in his heart and did not respond, his vision is good, Xia Chongxiao is a partner who can cooperate for a long time, with rich experience, clear brain, and able to judge the situation.

Xia Shun also reacted when he heard this, he clapped his hands and looked at Wang Linxi and said with a smile: "It's not, what else are you looking for, Lin Xi's temperament is the most suitable for managing accounts." ”

Wang Linxi is the easiest to be ignored, he looked at his sister-in-law at a loss, Lan Yi nodded: "It's okay to try, but the second brother lacks some experience, and he still needs the eldest brother and the shopkeeper Xia to take him more." ”

As soon as Lan Yi said this, Wang Linxi also stood up and gave his hand: "Young Master Xia, Shopkeeper Xia, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will study hard and live up to everyone's wishes." ”

Lan Yi smiled: "Although the accounts and silver money are recorded here by the second brother, but if you want to use the silver, you still need to sign and check it by Shopkeeper Xia." ”

Xia Chongxiao and Xia Shun nodded, this matter was settled, and the cooperation between several people was more secure, Xia Chongxiao said: "These trivial matters, just let Xia Shun and Lin Xi discuss." Sister Lan, it's rare for you to bring your child over today, my mother hasn't seen the two little ones for a while, Wang'er has been shouting to play with the baby, why don't you go to the house and take a look? ”

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, Lan Yi took her two children to Xia Mansion to ask Xia Wan's mother, Mrs. Qin, to say goodbye, and the baby did have a good time with Xia Chongxiao's baby son Wang'er, but today's opportunity was not suitable.

"Big brother, let's do it another day. We have to rush back, my second uncle said that it should be sunny at noon, and I am afraid of the hot children. ”

"Okay, let's go our separate ways according to the discussion."

After several people separated, Wang Linxi drove an ox cart to pull Lan Yi and the others back to Beigou Village.

Several children were a little sleepy, and the sun was slowly revealed, and Lan Yi and the three of them opened their umbrellas to give them shade.

Wang Linxi drove the ox cart back slowly, and when he saw that the children were quiet, he said softly: "Sister-in-law, I understand the meaning of Young Master Xia and Shopkeeper Xia, but I am afraid of causing chaos to my sister-in-law, after all, I have never learned about this tent." ”

Lan Yi gently patted the baby in her arms and explained earnestly: "Second brother, originally we opened an oil mill, considering the situation at that time, I asked you to learn to take care of the peonies on the hillside, and let the third brother run errands and run errands outside, which can be regarded as a livelihood." But since Brother Xia joined our business, the original plan has to be adjusted. Our business will only get bigger and bigger, it's inconvenient for me to come forward, I still have to rely on you and my third brother, according to the temperament of the two of you, we still have to be one inside and one outside, we can't always point to the Xia family, if we want to develop, we must have our own ability, if you are not afraid, you are afraid that you will not learn. ”

Wang Linxi nodded: "Then what about the peonies on this hillside?" ”

"The peony on the hillside has the second uncle and Uncle Zhao, after this year, how to serve the peony, we also touch the doorway, nothing more than three times a year fertilization, weeding, watering, pruning, frostproof, etc., when we are not busy, we can take care of it, you and the third brother will follow when you are busy, you can hire someone if you can't do it."

Chen listened, knowing that her sister-in-law wanted Lin Xi to do bigger things, and she didn't tie herself to the ground every day, she knew her man's temperament, and she also knew that he wanted to do more but said less, how could he not know what he wanted to do.

"Go, I have the work of the field. My sister-in-law can be busy alone, and I can do it. ”

Wang Linxi felt his wife's strong heart and said "um".

Lan Yi continued: "Second brother, what do you think? If not, let's discuss it again. ”

Wang Linxi shook his head, how could he be unwilling, he knew how rare this opportunity was. When I was a child, my family was poor, and I could only send one of my two children to learn skills. Lin Yuan is the younger brother, he let him, he followed his father to work in the field, sweat beads fell eight petals, facing the loess with his back to the sky, and worked hard every day. Later, he married a wife and had children, thinking that he would live like his ancestors for the rest of his life, until he was too tired to do anything, and lay on his kang and waited for death.

The sister-in-law gave him the opportunity to raise his head and straighten his waist, and he could fight for his wife and children to build a family business, how could he not cherish it.

"Sister-in-law, I'll do a good job." The confidence in the tone is gratitude.

Lan Yi smiled, if she didn't know Lin Xi's thoughts, she wouldn't agree lightly. Although the second brother and the third brother are farmers, their brains are not slow, the key is to be honest, know the roots, and respect themselves from the heart, which is exactly the assistant they want.

"Second brother and sister, third brother and sister, our business is getting bigger and bigger. The second brother and the third brother have to run a business outside, and the family has to rely on our concubines. The crops in the fields, the peonies on the hillsides, the children and living creatures at home, if we work a little harder, we will soon see the money back. ”

"I've seen it, and the deposit for peony seedlings is still hot." Liu and Chen's eyes are also burning with passion, good days are ahead, what are you afraid of when you are tired.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to circle a few more acres of hillside?" If the peony seeds rise, the income of the hillside will also rise, and Chen also feels that he will definitely make money by getting some more land.

Lan Yi nodded, "Planting peonies on the slopes of the circle hill will definitely make some money, you go back and sum it up." But you have to do what you can, too much can be taken care of. I won't circle it, Yu'er and the baby are still young, and the main focus is still on the two of them. ”

Chen nodded, Liu looked at a few people, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, how much silver can our oil mill make in a year?" ”

Lan Yi smiled: "It's hard to say now, when the second brother is familiar with the things on the account, he will be able to have a specific number, but after all, the family can also divide a few hundred taels." ”

This is already a very conservative number, Liu still swallowed his saliva when he heard it, a few hundred taels, she couldn't think of it before, she showed a big smile when she saw no one on the road: "Sister-in-law, we will definitely go into the city after the end of the year, and buy a golden head noodle for each person!" I also want to make new clothes for Niuniu, we can buy whatever the people in the city buy during the New Year's Festival, and we can buy the best rouge gouache! ”

Lan Yi and Chen glanced at each other, with a smile in their eyes.

"What do you want to do so far, while the peony seeds are not ripe in the past few days, and the weather is just right, let's hurry up and get some purslane to dry, you won't still eat sister-in-law this winter, right?" Chan interrupts Liu's dream.

"How can it, I've had a lot of sun in the past two days. The fungus and mushrooms are dried after the rain in the previous field, I don't believe that we are comparing, it is definitely not less than the one you pulled back! Liu said unconvinced, why did the whole family look at her unreliable?

Lan Yi told again: "We can't talk about the affairs of our oil mill, I don't worry about the second brother and sister, the third brother and sister, you have to control your mouth, move your heart and eye before you open your mouth every time, it will not benefit us at all if it is passed on, and it will only cause us trouble." ”

Liu straightened his waist and reassured with round eyes, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Lin Yuan has already told me several times." I keep it tightly, even my mother's family only knows that we planted some peony seedlings, and nothing else. ”

As the days passed, the things Lan Yi and the others were looking forward to gradually became reality. The students of Da Zhou, especially the northern states and counties, discussed the poems and appreciation included in the "Peony Poetry Books", and Lan Yi's new ideas brought them more new inspiration and were eager to try; The peony flower banquet is also becoming more and more famous, the owners of restaurants and inns around the country are counting the money with a smile, and those restaurants that have not competed for the qualification of the peony flower banquet are asking around, and they want to come in.

In Meixian County, Lan Yi and the others chose to cooperate with Zhang Pingyu's restaurant, and the Wang family naturally did not get half a cup of soup. Not to be outdone, Wang Mingli and others generally inquired about the details of this peony feast and the origin of peony seed oil.

Wang Mingli's housekeeper Wang Chengsu also had his own way of news, and quickly inquired clearly and reported the matter to his master.

"The villain has already asked clearly, the peony flower banquet and peony seed oil in various states and counties are all passed down from the Xia family in Huang County, Dengzhou."

Wang Mingli was still sitting behind the wide Eight Immortals table in the dark, and he frowned: "Xia family? ”

Wang Chengsu nodded: "This Xia family is also a big family in Dengzhou, and it is one of the best in Huang County, and the eldest girl in the Xia family's house is the wife of Cheng Mi Yichao in Meixian County." ”

Mi Yichao and Meixian Tian Zhixian, that is, Wang Mingli's father-in-law, are inseparable, Wang Mingli has no friendship with him, but he didn't expect to encounter the Xia family again this time.

Wang Mingli tapped on the table: "I remember a few days ago, there was an accident in the Cheng family in Mi County?" ”

"Lord Mi's favorite concubine added him a concubine in April, and he just had a full moon last month, and the child had a strange illness a few days ago."

Wang Mingli didn't ask any more, but changed the topic and asked: "Wang Chengde and his son came out of the prison cell, and there was no movement at all?" ”

Wang Chengsu nodded, and Nuo Nuo returned: "The villain sent people to keep an eye on it day and night, and since they came out half a month ago, they have been staying at home to recuperate, and they have not interacted with anyone, not even the old lady of the big house is not seen anywhere. ”

Wang Mingli sneered: "The more this is the case, the more you have to keep an eye on the master, to prevent them from sending people out in private, as long as you follow him, you will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of Wenxuan's mother and son." Wang Tiangui, you can give a few more instructions and stir up some things. ”

Wang Chengsu bent down and should get down.

"Huang County sent a brain to inquire and find out the details of the Xia family's peony banquet and peony seed oil, the sooner the better."

"Yes, the villain understands."

Wang Mingli sat for a while, stretched his brows and turned back to the inner house.

Before he entered the house, he heard his wife Tian reprimand the maid loudly, and the expression on his face was a little unbearable, and he took a breath before he raised his feet and went in.

"You're a dead hoof, you know if you're worried about crawling your father's bed! The old lady just mentioned that she wanted to add someone to the master, and I have to call the shots in this matter, so I can't help you! ”

When Tian saw Wang Mingli coming in, he snorted coldly and remained motionless.

Chunxing, the big girl who was kneeling on the ground, covered her swollen face, looked at her master who had followed her since she was a child, and forcibly bit her lip to endure her grievances, and the bean-sized tears rolled down one by one, holding a delicate and helpless look.

Wang Mingli glanced at Chunxing and said, "What are you doing with a maid in such an atmosphere, it's a joke." ”

Chun Xing didn't expect her master to react like this, she lowered her head and tore her handkerchief, not daring to show the expression on her face.

Tian smiled: "Master, why did you come back with your son?" After speaking, he waved his hand and asked his mother-in-law to pull Chun Xing down, and Chun Xing peeked at Wang Mingli, and saw that he didn't raise his eyelids, so he had to retreat.

Wang Mingli sat on the edge of the couch and asked, "Master Mi just lost his young son over there, these two ** took the time to visit Mrs. Mi, so they can move around in the future." ”

Tian glanced at Wang Mingli a little strangely, Mrs. Mi Xia had nothing to do with her, and maybe the child was killed by her, so what was there to visit at this time.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Wang Mingli didn't hide it from her, and said directly: "The peony flower banquet and peony seed oil are both from Mrs. Mi's maiden family, you take the opportunity to explore the situation." ”

Tian's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what her husband meant. R1152
