Chapter 44: It's all fennel's fault

The life experience of the second daughter made me sigh, if I had come to the Tang Dynasty a few years earlier, I would have been able to witness the demeanor of the legendary Princess Gaoyang. The legendary fierce woman, the old father who fought against the evil feudal arranged marriage and died of anger on the sickbed, dared to challenge the imperial power at any cost in order to vent a bad breath, although the three-foot white silk ended her twenty-seven-year-old life, but it could not stop the heavy stroke written in history. Princess Gaoyang can be said to be a pioneer of the feminist movement, and her deeds have been emulated by later generations of elite ladies, including Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and Shangguan Wan, among which are desirable.

Although I haven't seen Princess Gaoyang, the appearance of the second daughter may be similar to her, I lifted the little face of the second daughter, and tried to observe, but it was dark all around, and there was no achievement. The second daughter thought I had bad thoughts, and the squirming little body tried her best to cooperate, and the consciousness of the family being ruined was gone.

"Husband, cold ........" The second daughter moaned profusely. The chill in the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is only relative to the middle of summer, and now the two of them are hugging so tightly, and the wool blanket is covered tightly, so it is strange that they don't sweat.

I casually gave the second girl's ass balls, and my mouth was full of no truth. The moon is also covered by clouds, and the tragic life experience is also understood, the sad heart, the distressed heartache, Qi is alive, if you don't go back, Ying will not be able to say clearly if she wakes up again, not to mention that the second daughter is a little bit of that now, according to the surrounding environment and atmosphere now, it must be very exciting to keep warm, but the person in his arms is not right, or go back now to place the second daughter, and Ying will come again.......... very good idea.

It's a pity, I finally comforted the second daughter to sleep well, and I couldn't wait to rush back to the room, Ying was still asleep, and she didn't mean to wake up at all. I knew that I had just looked at the second daughter carefully for a while, maybe it was really similar to Princess Gaoyang, it seems that I have to ask Zhou Gong, and I will visit now.

The second daughter is still the second daughter after all, knowing her life experience for a period of time, under my careful observation, the second daughter has not changed, and she is still bowing her head to me and Ying, pretending to be stupid knowingly (Ying and I are used to it, and the second daughter is also used to pretending, if she suddenly appears in a smart and clever attitude, it is inevitable that Ying can't stand it, and I also have the possibility of being difficult to accept, in this regard, the three of them have formed a tacit understanding. The only unequal thing is that Ying still thinks that I was hidden from the second daughter in the valley, and reminds me from time to time: Don't be deceived by the second daughter's disguise, that girl is a thief and a thief. I was playing on the sidelines, looking disapproving); In front of the subordinates, he is arrogant, except for the housekeeper and the Hu account room, he will not give a good face.

With the gradual improvement of the flower water workshop, the second daughter's business is gradually busy, I ordered the housekeeper to prepare a special car for her, and assigned an experienced and calm coachman. Ying specially selected two clever little women of the same age as the second daughter to be the maids of the second daughter, in the end she is already the second lady, and now she is the little god of wealth at home, and she always has someone to serve when she goes out, right?

The output of the flower water workshop is now difficult to meet the needs of the market, in the face of the strong purchasing power of Chang'an people, the small workshop is 10 catties per day (with the weight of 100 millet in the millet for baht, 24 baht for 24 baht, 3 taels for the big two, 16 taels for the catties. The monetary situation of the Tang Dynasty was: 1 tael of silver = a string of money (that is, consistently) = 1000 Wen (that is, copper coins), 50 taels of silver is about equal to 50Γ·16 = 3.125 catties = 1865 grams) The output is really difficult to maintain, and it is often forced to buy it in front of the workshop without waiting for the goods to be put on the shelves. Toilet water is not only favored by local tycoons, but also attracts the attention of international merchants, and international friends continue to ask people to deliver messages or personally find the Chen family, asking for a limited time to supply them. According to the current output, not to mention the limited amount of wholesale, even retail is difficult to meet, but you can't drive people out of the door, so the proposal to expand the workshop has been put on the agenda.

It's still the same, I pay for the land and the Chen family, and the second daughter and the fourth child are fully responsible. In fact, the money mentioned in the early stage was already more than enough, and under the control of Hu Shufang (now the Wang family's account office and chief accountant of the flower water company), the two families divided the previous assets and then re-invested in the new plant, while the production and final construction of the old workshop (in fact, it was not fully completed) continued. In this way, the Wang family has already taken back nearly two thousand taels of silver with only the land and the secret recipe.

"Second lady, be careful," Steward Qian squeezed his rich facial features into a bun shape with a flattering smile, and flattered the second daughter who had just gotten out of the car and entered the door: "Second lady has worked hard today, the old man has already ordered the kitchen, your extra meal has been prepared, just waiting for you to come back." He turned around and instructed the little guy: "Why are you standing stupidly?" Don't ask anyone to buy it for Mrs. yet, go quickly! ”

Since the beginning of the cooperation with the Chen family, the second daughter has been busy non-stop, and recently has to expand production, rebuild the workshop, and make the second daughter's small body a little unbearable, I see the pain in my eyes, I specially let the kitchen add a meal to the second daughter, and let the housekeeper get a few dairy goats to raise at home, forcing the second daughter to drink 1 bowl of goat milk plus two eggs every morning and evening to supplement protein. Originally, Ying and the second daughter were asked to drink together, but the second daughter was still there, but Ying was very repulsed by the taste of goat's milk, and was smoked and retched before it was delivered to her mouth.

For this old housekeeper who has served in the Wang family for many years, the second daughter is still very respectful, twisted her face and smiled at the old man to express her greetings, and then went to eat surrounded by the two maids.

"Mr. Hu, you have also worked hard, and you came back earlier than usual today." Steward Qian greeted the Hu account room who came back with the second daughter. Since Hu Shufang became the chief accountant of Hualushui Group, his identity has also risen, and Steward Qian has begun to use the title 'you'.

Hu Ledger replied with a regular salute: "Things are going well today, the second lady understands my old bones, but came back a little earlier than usual." ”

Steward Qian saw that there were a few people next to him who were packing up the carriages and horses, and gave Hu the account room a look, "Mr. Hu, there is nothing to do today, the little master and his wife went to watch the polo, and they can't come back for a while, why don't you come to me and kill two games?" "The kind that deliberately keeps the sound loud so that everyone around you can hear it clearly

Hu Ledger understood, and loudly agreed, "Good, good!" It's been a long time since I've learned the tricks of the money housekeeper, and I heard that your chess skills have made great progress recently, let's kill a few games! ”

"That's, that's," the two of them greeted all the way to the housekeeper's room, and Steward Qian diligently poured a bowl of herbal tea for Hu's account.

"When did Brother Qian learn to play chess? It's a bit unreasonable to make excuses. Hu Shufang poured a large sip of herbal tea and breathed a comfortable sigh.

"What kind of chess are you playing, I have something to discuss with Brother Hu, and I will discuss you." Steward Qian smiled professionally and said kindly.

"Oh~ Brother Qian has something to say, what is not to be explained, how many years of friendship, strange outside."

"This thing is a little blushing," the housekeeper snorted for a while, and made up his mind, "I won't hide it from you, in fact, our work is not easy to do, you also know the situation in this house a few years ago, although our Wang family is a high-ranking family, and the outside does not know that it is envy, but we know in our hearts that the old lord does not allow his descendants to enter the court as officials, and our reputation is false." Last year, my nephew went to the territory to learn from other people's business, and asked for some capital from me, who knew that the stinky boy was not the material for doing business, so he was deceived by the beard, and he ran back with half a cart of fennel, and he hasn't made a move yet, and he is about to rot his hands. The butler said that he patted his legs and stomped his feet, and his face was full of sadness.

"What do you mean by the money steward?" When Mr. Hu heard this, he was a little worried that the housekeeper would ask him to borrow money, and even his name changed.

"I heard that the water run by the second lady is not worth a good amount now, I want to ........"

Mr. Hu hurriedly interrupted the housekeeper: "The second lady doesn't run any water, you can't talk nonsense!" That's when his Chen family begged us to set aside a place for him to build a workshop, for the sake of his wife's face, our Wang family reluctantly agreed, the soup and water have nothing to do with our family, don't look at the basin on your own head! Mrs. is not worried about the Chen family, afraid of causing trouble in our Zhuangzi, so she assigned the second lady and Zaiqian to inspect, and then you have to go, the Chen family is very tricky, and if you don't look at it for a day, there will be chaos, does the housekeeper understand? ”

"If you want to say that Mrs. is also from the Chen family, why don't you worry?" The housekeeper is a bit unkind.

"Nonsense! Old Qian, you are confused, how can you say this? Since Madame has arrived at our house, she is a member of our royal family! It has nothing to do with the Chen family, then the heart must be towards our family, of course I don't worry! ”

The housekeeper understood, nodded hurriedly, and looked at Hu's account room with admiration: "Old confused, old confused, if it weren't for Mr. Hu's reminder, it would have been a joke." Since Mr. Hu went to inspect every day, he must be more familiar with the Chen family. What I mean is, I want you to buy some water, and then give it to my little nephew to go out and pour it around, and maybe I will earn back the loss, what? ”

"Why do you think it's easy, how much does it cost, brother, I will do it for you tomorrow. Now you can't buy it with cash outside, Brother Bao! Hu Shufang felt that he was still very sure of this matter, and the chief accountant was not in vain.

"Well, that's the case," the housekeeper blushed, a little embarrassed: "I can't get this money out for the time being, I want to ask my brother to give you some goods first, can you?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦..” Hu was speechless.

Looking at the bookkeeper's somewhat excited expression, the housekeeper hurriedly said: "I know that you are embarrassed, brother, or there is still half a cart of fennel at home, tomorrow I will let the little nephew push over and top it first, brother, you have to help the old man, I thank you!" "When you get up, you have to bow to the Hu Tent Room.

"Don't, don't! If you want to discuss this matter directly with the second lady, it will definitely be no fun. Dude, you don't know, people who wait at the door of the workshop all day long to pull goods can fight, and this thing is very sought-after now. ”

"What then? Brother Hu, you have to give the old man a way to think of a way, or I'm afraid we won't have hope for the rest of our lives. ”

"Brother Qian, don't worry, when the little marquis comes back in the evening, I will take the time to find him to find out. The little marquis is kind-hearted, if he nods, there may be hope for this matter. "After a few months of contact, Hu Shufang thinks that I am still relatively easy to speak, at least much kinder than the two ladies.

When the housekeeper heard that there was still hope, he hurriedly got up and said, "Good brother, whether it works out or not, I have written down the friendship of Mr. Hu....... old man."

"Brother Qian is serious, how many years have passed, what are you talking about? See outside, see outside! Hu Ledger hurriedly sat down with the housekeeper, "Brother Qian, didn't I say you, you are really confused about this matter, aren't you looking for a loss when doing business with Huzi?" ”

"The ghost is obsessed, seeing that the Wang family is not getting better day by day, can I not be in a hurry. This rush will spoil the dish! How could the old man expect that the palace would suddenly rise up again, and regret dying! ”

"Don't worry, from the brother's point of view, our Wang family is just getting started now, if you want to talk about it, it's still to come, I have long seen that the little marquis is not an ordinary person, and he doesn't care about anything, so he can be very clear in his heart. It's only been a few days since I came back, and all the Cheng family and Qin family have been stopped, just looking at the momentum of the old Du family, brother, haven't you still envied the Du family's housekeeper? Look at it now, the top door pole of the Du family is not running to our house every once in a while, and you want his nephew to come to our house as an apprentice? When Steward Hu said this, he couldn't help but feel complacent, as if Qin Yu wanted to worship him.

"Brother, you are not authentic, why don't you give the old man a wake-up call? I'm looking for death now, and I'm still worried about not going home. I'll wait at the door now, and when the little marquis comes back, you have to tell me well, and the rest of your life can be left to you. ”

"Go together, go together. I also went outside by the way, by the way, I called two catties of old wine, I have been busy recently and even have no spirit to drink wine, brother, please first. ”
