Chapter 179: Hospitality

On the morning of the second day, Lin Qiushui arrived as promised.

Although the two of them haven't seen each other for more than half a month, because they have been communicating with each other, it still feels quite cordial when they meet.

Jiang Zhixia personally greeted him at the corner gate of the second courtyard.

Although the weather was cold, Jiang Zhixia still took Lin Qiushui to visit his new home.

After the visit, they returned to the main courtyard hand in hand.

Walking to the door of the main house, the maid had just opened the thick curtain, and a hot warm current came to her face.

"Sister burned so much charcoal so early?" Lin Qiushui asked in surprise.

Now, it's only late autumn, and it's not winter yet. The temperature is still okay during the day, that is, it is a little cool at night.

It's okay to burn some carbon for heating occasionally, but it's rare to burn as much as Jiang Zhixia.

"I'm weak, so I'm afraid of the cold, so my sister laughs." Jiang Zhixia said embarrassedly.

She also thinks it's too exaggerated, where is the use of charcoal to start heating in September---- although it's the end of September.

However, Chu Tiankuo was worried about the cold in her body, so he gave an order early. Xiao Man was also worried about her body and carried it out faithfully. Her opinion was ignored.

"This is our uncle who is afraid of colding our wife, so ah, we have to let it be burned."

Xiao Man smiled and held a plate of steaming snacks, opened the thick curtain and walked in.

Lin Qiushui listened to it.

Jiang Zhixia blushed embarrassedly and said Xiao Man with disgust.

In this way, the two of them chatted while drinking tea and eating snacks.

But after a while, it was time for lunch.

Aunt Zhang was in charge of the cooking, and Xiao Man started to make a table of colorful and fragrant meals very seriously, and placed them in the flower hall.

Jiang Zhixia invited Lin Qiushui to sit down. Dark Fragrance and Ying Sleeve stood next to the two of them to give the cloth a dish.

The painting screen was pulled into the wing room by Ruolan and Xiao Man, and ate while it was hot.

After eating lunch, rinsing his mouth, and cleaning his hands, Lin Qiushui's eyes were red and he sat on the beauty couch outside with Jiang Zhixia.

"**Sister, the dish of that pepper is too spicy."

After Lin Qiushui sat down, he couldn't help but drink some tea before he spoke.

Jiang Zhixia could only smile helplessly and hold his forehead.

She wanted Lin Qiushui to taste the stir-fried dishes with peppers, but these ladies were used to fine and light dishes. For peppers or accept can't.

The two of them chatted for a while about the stir-fried dishes with peppers. Then, they all picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Lin Qiushui hesitated to open his mouth to ask something, and his lips squirmed for a long time, after all, he was thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask.

And Jiang Zhixia was thinking about what he was about to say, but he didn't notice Lin Qiushui's emotions.

After a long time, Jiang Zhixia finally hesitated to speak: "I have something today, I hesitated for a long time, and I still want to ask my sister what she means." ”

Lin Qiushui looked up puzzled.

"My sister is the daughter of an official family, and she lives in the mansion of the Marquis of Chengen, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't open this mouth. However, I also heard my sister talk about some family matters. So I thought I would ask, is my sister interested in opening a shop with me? ”

Jiang Zhixia quickly slashed through the mess.

"Open a shop? What kind of shop can I open? Lin Qiushui looked very surprised. She never thought she would be able to open a shop.

Not to mention that she can't go out to run a shop, she doesn't even have the capital to open a shop.

Everything in the house was taken from each room and handed over to the public steward to purchase together, and then distributed to each house and courtyard.

My aunt also loves her, and everything is not lacking in her share.

It's just that there is no shortage of things, but it is not good for her to let a cousin with both parents go to get the monthly order in the house.

But in her family, her father was unkind and her stepmother was not loving. The father is only partial to the child born by the stepmother because of the pillow wind.

And as the eldest daughter who lost her mother, she couldn't even receive the monthly allowance from her own family.

After her aunt found out, she secretly gave her some money.

She is also a person who wants to save face, where is she willing to accept it every time?

Therefore, in addition to some rewards for the New Year's holidays, silver barley, it is some pocket money given by my aunt.

However, today's sister's birthday in the house, tomorrow's sister will make a banquet, and she can't not go every time.

Therefore, she did not have much money in her hand.

"My sister's makeup powder and lipstick are excellent. I've been using it since you last gave it to me. I want to partner with my sister to open a shop that sells rouge gouache. I don't know what my sister thinks? ”

On the day of marriage, Jiang Zhixia used Lin Qiushui's makeup powder and lipstick.

After getting married, a few days later, Lin Qiushui sent a complete set of rouge gouache over, from face fat, eyebrows, makeup powder, mouth grease, and rouge. They are all made by Lin Qiushui himself, which do not contain lead and cinnabar.

After using it for more than half a month, Jiang Zhixia feels that his skin is much more delicate, and he is extremely obedient and good-looking when he occasionally puts on makeup.

So when they corresponded, they talked about rouge gouache.

Jiang Zhixia also knew that Lin Qiushui liked to make rouge gouache by himself, and he was proficient in this way.

At that time, she had the faint idea of cooperating to open a shop.

However, she thought that Lin Qiushui was a noble girl after all, and she was afraid that she would not be willing to touch such a vulgar thing.

This has also been chatting for more than half a month, and I know almost everything about Lin Qiushui's situation, so I thought about talking about it.

"But, but, but I don't have any money...

Lin Qiushui said with a chatter. When she said this, her face turned red like a piece of cloth.

"I don't need my sister to pay for it. My sister is only in charge of the recipe and the master craftsman of the church. How about I do the rest? Is it okay for me to share half of my sister's shares? ”

Jiang Zhixia saw Lin Qiushui say this, and hurriedly replied---- she is not short of money.

"That's not good. It's not difficult to make rouge gouache. If my sister wants to open a store. I'll give the recipe to my sister. It's not worth anything. ”

When Lin Qiushui heard that she was only allowed to make a prescription, she couldn't care less about being shy, so she hurriedly spoke.

Jiang Zhixia sighed.

Can you not like Lin Qiushui? Can you stay away from her?

Gentle, kind, knowledgeable, sensible, affectionate and interesting. Even Fang Zi is so generous to give it away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia finally understood Chu Tiankuo's mood when he opened the restaurant and wanted to send the recipe.

The more generous others are, the more unwilling they are to take advantage.

"If I open this shop, the recipe is extremely important. If my sister insists on sending me Fangzi, then I won't open this shop. ”

Jiang Zhixia unconsciously imitated Chu Tiankuo's appearance at that time, and deliberately said it with a straight face.

Lin Qiushui was not as strong as Jiang Zhixia at the beginning. Seeing Jiang Zhixia's pretended stern face, she couldn't help but shake her head.

"Sister, don't be angry. My recipe is worthless. Materials and shops are where a lot of money is spent. ”

Lin Qiushui had tears in his eyes, and he seemed to be distressed.

"You're really..." Jiang Zhixia saw that he was scared of others like this, and he was embarrassed again, so he hurriedly comforted: "I'm not angry. I really want you to make some private money. However, your recipe is very, very important. You listen to my sister, let's open a shop together. ”

Jiang Zhixia said while wiping Lin Qiushui's tears.
