Chapter 12: The rules are not broken

He Lianjun only mentioned the matter of He Lancheng going to the academy, but seeing Yu Qingzhi taking it to heart so much, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Taking advantage of Yu Qingzhi's bowing head, he said, "Ah Cheng can still help at home for a few days, so don't be in such a hurry." ”

When He Lancheng, who rushed over to deliver snacks to Yu Qingzhi, heard this, he rolled his eyes, and his mind was very right, and he stepped forward and said to Yu Qingzhi: "Sister-in-law, you just listen to my brother, I can still help you and my sister when I stay at home for the past two days, so I don't have to go to the academy so early!" ”

"How's that going to work? No matter how hard you are, you can't be a child, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education! Yu Qingzhi shook his head slowly, with a firm mind in his heart, he must send Helan Cheng to the academy.

In her time, a child as old as He Lancheng should also enter kindergarten, not to mention that the ancients were enlightened early, and there were very few people who had not gone to the academy at his age.

Yu Qingzhi regards the He family as his home, and naturally he will not treat the He family badly.

But Helan Cheng saw that she was so determined, and couldn't help pouting: "But I heard that reading is very boring, the eldest brother is so smart, and he also said that he was always punished by his husband when he was a child...... Not! ”

"Mouthy."

Before Helan Cheng finished speaking, He Lianjun raised his hand and slapped it on the melon seed on his head, screamed in pain, covered his head, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing.

And Yu Qingzhi also heard that something was wrong with his words, looked He Lianjun up and down, and asked, "Did you go to a private school when you were a child?" ”

"Nope." He Lianjun shook his head, "It's a public school in the village, and there is an old Xiucai who has tried and failed to teach." ”

His stiff facial features were softened by his sincere gaze, and Yu Qingzhi couldn't even be suspicious.

However, He Lianjun said that the public school, she has the impression that every time she goes back to Qingshui Village, she can hear the sound of reading aloud at the entrance of the village, at first she thought it was just a private school, but she didn't expect it to be a public school run by the village.

It seems that although these villages are remote and backward, their attitude towards reading is still very positive.

It's a pity that Yu Qingzhi doesn't know these things, so she can only rely on He Lianjun.

"Since you have studied and know the old gentleman of the private school, it is better to leave the matter of helping Ah Cheng find the academy to you. Our Ah Cheng is so smart, we must go to the best academy, and we must not delay him. Yu Qingzhi looked at He Lancheng and spoke solemnly.

As everyone knows, in Helan Cheng's opinion, this is tantamount to pushing him into a fire pit, but he knows the temperament of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will definitely let him enter the academy to study, not to mention that the eldest brother is obedient to his sister-in-law, let alone help him skip school.

Seeing Helan Cheng leave the shop with his head shrunk with a depressed face, Yu Qingzhi couldn't help laughing.

In order not to let He Lancheng find out, she also deliberately hid behind He Lianjun.

"You're kidding him?" He Lianjun also realized it later.

"Not really, I still have to read the book, but I'm not in a hurry. I just saw that he refused to study, so I had the idea of teasing him, don't worry, I won't condone him. Yu Qingzhi expressed his attitude to He Lianjun.

He Lianjun turned to look at the plain hairpin on her bun, nodded and said, "I believe you." ”

Secretly, he was wondering if he should buy a good-looking hairpin for his daughter-in-law.

"By the way, Lian Jun, do you know how to dial the abacus?" Yu Qingzhi's words interrupted He Lianjun's thoughts.

Hearing the voice, he replied: "There will be some meetings, and simple bookkeeping is not a big deal. ”

"That'll do." Yu Qingzhi pushed the account book in his hand to him, "I'll teach you this new bookkeeping method, and when the shop for incense opens, I'll hand it over to you." ”

The Agarwood incense shop sells most of the fashionable sachets and incense beads, and the people who buy them are also girls, and He Lianjun is not suitable for a big man here.

However, most of the shops that sell incense are facing temples and Taoist temples, and even on weekdays, most of them are people who buy incense to their ancestors.

As soon as he heard that he was going to be separated from his daughter-in-law soon, He Lianjun, who usually didn't care even if he didn't stick together, suddenly felt bad in his heart.

But he also knew that it was inevitable, so he had to muffle it.

At this moment, he understood Fang Cai Acheng's reaction.

However, in order to open the new store, Yu Qingzhi did not immediately send He Lianjun to the incense shop, but took advantage of the popularity of the Agarwood incense shop to promote the store, and then asked He Lianjun to bring people there.

The regular customers of the next store have become the regular customers of the two stores, and the discounts between the two stores can still be shared, and many customers have chosen the Agarwood incense shop, and after a period of time, the business has not been affected much.

However, the most talked about is the June flower box in the middle of the shelf of the Agarwood Incense Shop.

Because of this set of flower boxes, not only Zhou Niangzi came to inquire every day, but also many girls from rich and noble families also asked the maids to come and ask, and learned that the flower boxes would not be sold until a month and a half later, so many people came to increase the price first.

Listening to the price increase shouted next door, Zhou Niangzi's white eyes endured and endured, but she still turned to the sky.

whispered to the shop next door, and Zhou Niangzi forcibly swallowed this breath, but when she turned her head, she saw Aunt Li looking at her with a smile, and she was so frightened that she scolded the quintessence.

Calming down her panicked mood, she patted her chest with a fan, glared back viciously and asked, "Are you dead?" Walking without a sound! ”

"Zhou Niangzi's words are ugly, isn't it because you are too dissatisfied with the Agarwood Incense Shop, so I didn't dare to speak out." Aunt Li stepped forward and said two good words, which coaxed Zhou Niangzi's anger away, and then said, "Didn't you ask me to give you an idea last time?" That's when I came up with a plan. ”

Zhou Niangzi then remembered the topic that she couldn't continue last time.

She glanced at Aunt Li up and down, thinking of the news she had found out from Yu Qingzhi's mouth, she had a little more calculations in her heart, put on an arrogant stand, and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Seeing that she was still interested in this matter, Aunt Li hurriedly spoke: "Although there are many people in her shop, there may be a lot of people in the store, and not everyone likes the fragrance in the incense shop, there are always one or two who don't like it." You can't stop doing business because he opened a shop next to your house and smoked all the embroidery here, right? ”

As soon as she heard this proposal, Zhou Niangzi was full of only two words - hehe!

She raised her fan suddenly, pointed directly at Aunt Li's door, sneered, and scolded: "Surnamed Li, don't think I don't know, you stinky girl, it's not for me to fight with Yu Qingzhi, what kind of method?" I can come up with a dozen or twenty of them for you with a move of my toes, and I need you to do it? I can warn you, don't be ashamed, the good things you let Yu Laosan do don't know, but I know it! If you dare to use me as a knife again, be careful that I go to the government to shake out all the you did, and no one will think about it! ”

Zhou Niangzi scolded and threatened, and really bluffed Aunt Li.

Knowing that she actually knew that she had let Yu Laosan set fire, Aunt Li secretly said bad in her heart.

"Zhou Niangzi is afraid that she didn't misunderstand me, where will I calculate you? Isn't this because I'm weak and soft-spoken, and I can't fight with that surnamed Yu? But if I have the slightest way, why do I need to let your Zhou family embroidery workshop come forward, right? ”

In the past, in order to let Zhou Niangzi add a few more copper plates to the embroidery she received, Aunt Li said good things to her, and she couldn't be more accurate about Zhou Niangzi's character.

After coaxing her first, she continued: "As for the things I asked Yu Laosan to do, how can I talk about this?" Besides, Yu Qingzhi is Yu Laosan's daughter after all, how can I make him hurt his own daughter? You are a smart person, even if I don't say it, you can figure it out, and you are not afraid that you will be blinded and see the wicked as good! ”

This wicked man is properly talking about Yu Qingzhi.

Zhou Niangzi sneered, "What you said is good, but why should I believe you?" ”

She really has no evidence in her hand, but as long as Yu Laosan and his wife are arrested and beaten, she will not worry about having no witnesses.

Aunt Li also knew Zhou Niangzi's methods, and her waist bent even lower.

"If the lady can't believe me, you might as well go to Yu Qingzhi and ask, if she really told you these things for your good, then she must treat you as a friend, since she is a friend, then her June flower box must be given to you, right? If you don't even give you the June Flower Box and sow discord in front of you, isn't this a trick on you? ”

Zhou Niangzi had a thorn in her heart, and Aunt Li was so clever that she was really convinced, she had already had a dry mouth after talking for so long, but she didn't care about taking a sip of tea, and ran next door with her legs.

Although it has been a long time since the opening, there are only a lot of customers in the Agarwood Incense Shop, and there are even customers who come to see the June Flower Box.

Not to mention that He Wanyue was very good at blending incense, Yu Qingzhi asked her to concoct medicinal incense such as soothing incense and fetal incense according to the incense spectrum, and specially took it to the medical hall in the town to ask someone to test it, and only after determining the effect of these incense did it take it out for sale, which attracted countless people who love incense.

Although they are all neighbors, the business of the Shenshui incense shop is good, and when the guests can't stand, they will always go to the Zhou family embroidery workshop to rest, which is a good thing for Zhou Niangzi.

Even if Zhou Niangzi knew that these guests came because of the incense of the Agarwood Incense Shop, she saw that they rarely patronized her own shop, and she didn't feel jealous in her heart.

In addition, she was provoked by Aunt Li, so she didn't have the kindness she had when she came to the door this time, with dissatisfaction written on her face, and asked Yu Qingzhi: "I said Yu Niangzi, we've known each other for so long, you just tell me the bottom, can the June flower box be ordered for me in advance?" I can keep you on the counter, but it has to be mine. ”

Yu Qingzhi looked at the woman in front of her who interrupted her bookkeeping with a blank expression, and after a long time, she asked rhetorically as if she had come back to her senses: "I have told Mrs. Zhou many times that this set of flower boxes is not for sale for the time being, why do you still have to entangle again and again?" ”

Their movements are not small, and Zhou Niangzi is a naturally loud person, and she attracted the attention of the customers in the store as soon as she opened her mouth.

Hearing this, Zhou Niangzi was suddenly so angry that the first Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, rolled up her sleeves and pinched her waist and said: "You don't use this kind of flower to scare me, if you really don't sell it, what are you doing there?" ”

Yu Qingzhi glanced at the customers in the store and smiled slowly, "Of course it's used to attract customers, because aren't they all here for this June flower box?" Besides, I didn't bluff you, the incense pills in the June flower box were only put in for a short time, and the fragrance of the flowers has not yet been released. ”

Her explanation is reasonable, everyone who comes to the store often mixes perfume at home, so she naturally knows that Yu Qingzhi is right.

But Zhou Niangzi just didn't follow, "Do you think I gave you face?" ”

"Rules are rules, and whoever comes, this rule can't be broken." Yu Qingzhi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhou Niangzi was still not satisfied, she said: "You have to think clearly, sell me this set of June flower boxes, and I will accept your He Wanyue's embroidery in the future, how about it?" ”
