Chapter Sixty-Eight: Riding the Tide
"The eldest girl's ability to settle accounts is growing day by day, and she also writes with a small hand, which is strong and muscular, delicate and decent." Liu Lulin accepted the account book transcribed by Sun Shining, and nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that Master Sun does have some vision, the eldest girl is born to do business materials, the two-flavor balsam developed, sent to the palace only three days, there is already a father-in-law in the palace secretly found the workshop, gave ten times the price, to take away all the inventory, he only said to give two more cans, the rest still need to be regular, there is a deposit and left, the hand is really generous.
"These are all the credits of Mr. Liu, and the Sun family's business can only flourish by relying on Mr. Liu's management." Sun Shining stayed at home, locked herself up for a whole month, and rushed out of her homework day and night, she felt that there was a hole in her body, and if she was not busy enough to worry about it, it would hurt.
The bedside is piled up with the account books of the Sun family within three years, she looked at them one by one, there are things that she doesn't understand, there are pens to outline, and then ask Mr. Liu carefully, until she sees that her eyes are clouded, and she reluctantly falls asleep.
"It's just that the eldest girl forgot to sleep and eat, and she lost her body, and the gains outweighed the losses." Liu Lulin sighed lightly and said, "Shen Shaoqing, the predecessor of Dali Temple, has resigned and dismissed for thirty days, and there is no one inside and outside the court, but the girl is for this person?" ”
Sun Shining laughed in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, are you going to worry about the marriage for me?" ”
"Don't dare, someone Liu doesn't dare to make a mistake." Liu Lulin rarely had a mouthful, and ate a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and the eldest girl's cultivation kung fu also improved, "The eldest girl's stepmother is still in the house, so she is worried, and it is also her old man's concern." ”
"Erniang has a lot of things to worry about, and I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of it, not to mention, Mr. Liu's bowl of water is flat, and the monthly account profits are sent to her according to the share, which can be regarded as a surprise."
Counting up, the Xue family has a lot more cash in and out than when Sun Changfu was alive, she muttered for a while, in the end, it is the most practical to hold it in her hands, her voice gradually calmed down, and when she saw Liu Lulin, she was also smiling and welcoming people, but she still had a late motherly face towards Sun Shining and ignored it.
Sun Shining was happy to save those politeness, but the two younger siblings were closer to her, and Shitian even came to her small courtyard from time to time to eat and drink, and by the way, he turned around some gossip to her.
"If you can make a little money and the house is peaceful, why not do it?" Liu Lulin said with a smile.
"If the head of every family has Mr. Liu's consciousness, then everything will be peaceful and there will be no more disputes." Sun Shining was about to turn around and go back to his room.
Liu Lulin coughed lightly behind her and said: "The eldest girl doesn't resent me in my heart for not saying it too clearly that day, letting you suffer a big loss in the Protector's Mansion, the decoction has not stopped three times a day, not to mention the money for the medicine, it is ......"
"Mr. Liu, when I went out that day, you obviously mentioned me, but I was not careful, if I really took your words to heart, then I would not suffer later, so not only will I not be resentful, but I also want to thank Mr. for teaching me to suffer a loss and grow wise." Sun Shining said these words softly and walked away calmly.
When he walked to the atrium, Shitian ran over on his short legs: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, someone gave me this to eat just now and asked me if I could bring him in." ”
Sun Shining took a small rattan basket, tied it up with red paper, and printed a Huo character on the corner: "This is the Huo's bird's nest shortbread at the mouth of Nanyan Alley, I heard that the people in line can be discharged for three streets, and the things are also expensive, and they always cost two." ”
"The second sister once said that she was going to buy food, but her maid queue didn't buy it all day, and she was angry for two days and refused to eat." Shitian tilted his head and asked, "Isn't it delicious?" ”
Sun Shining counted, there were twelve in the small basket, and her hand was not small, she asked quietly: "Then you let people in?" ”
"No, he thought my child had no memory, but in fact I knew him, he was so fierce, I had a quarrel with my mother last time, I took his basket and slipped back." Shitian said proudly, "Eldest sister, do you want to go and see, he is still going around outside, wanting to come in and spread wild." ”
Sun Shining had already guessed who the visitor was, and handed the basket back to Shitian: "Take it to your second sister to eat together, and I'll go to the gate to have a look." ”
Shitian pulled the hem of her clothes: "I'm going too, in case it's a bad person, I'll help the eldest sister beat him." ”
"It's not a bad person, it's a friend of the eldest sister." Sun Shining touched his round head, "The shortbread is not delicious when it is cold, go quickly." She walked straight to the door, opened the door with her own hands, and said with a smile: "How can the sixth brother come here with leisure and elegance, come here, and give any gifts, it is really polite." ”
Yin Zhi crossed his hands on his hips, standing on the steps, with an impatient face, if it weren't for her coming out and smiling to greet her, I was afraid that she would be able to come up and pound on the door immediately, listening to her soft-spoken greeting, changing her face faster than changing the sky: "Big sister, that little brother of yours is really slippery, and he doesn't blink his eyes when he lies." ”
"There are a lot of adults in the sixth brother, don't worry about the children, please come in and sit." Sun Shining greeted him politely, she secretly thought, she hadn't seen this sixth prince for a whole month, and she didn't know where Ye had gone, Yin Zhi was black and thin, if she saw it at first glance on the street, she was afraid that she would not be able to recognize it, and told Xiao Yahuan to call amber to make tea, "The house is full of coarse tea, but this Yahuan used to be done in the Hou Mansion, but the gesture of making tea is good, and the sixth brother comes to taste it." ”
Yin is simply flattered, I haven't seen her for a month, how did she become so easy to talk, could it be that she has long had good intentions towards him, and she is embarrassed to say that she has a thin face, because he has not come to look for her for dozens of days, she has some worries in her heart, so when she faces each other, she is particularly gentle, he touched the back of his head, grinned and said: "Big sister, I just came to see if you are okay, and, are those peony flowers good?" ”
"Okay, I'm fine." Sun Shining beckoned him to sit down in the main hall of the front yard, and the tea and pastries were sent one after another, "Those flowers withered a few pots, and the Lu family's flower garden soon sent a new bloom, and this courtyard is really a beautiful scenery that blooms undefeated." ”
Thinking that Yin has given a large amount of money, Uncle Chen has insisted on it day by day, and will not let her see a pot of ruined peonies, even the Xue family has been stained, and invited two guests at home, the tea banquet is placed next to the peony flowers, very face-saving, Uncle Chen came to ask her what she meant, she smiled and said, such a beautiful flower, it must be more people to see it, it is satisfied, and it blooms more angrily and better, Chen Bo also laughed when he heard it, saying that the girl guessed that she really understood the mind of these famous flowers.
"If you like it." Yin Zhi stared at her for a long time: "Why do I think you have lost a lot of weight." ”
Sun Shining raised his eyes to look at him, pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, but did not answer, in fact, after Yin Zhi said this, he immediately regretted it, and quickly changed the topic: "I wanted to come to see you a long time ago, but my father hated me for not doing anything right in the sky, so I found an excuse to let me send the reward of the three armies to the border pass, back and forth, but it can toss people very lightly, that place is really not for people, no wonder my father said that it is not easy to guard the border pass, I brought my cronies back first, otherwise, at least it will be delayed for more than ten days." ”
Sun Shining heard a little taste, and then asked him about the customs of the border pass, Yin Zhi's eloquence was neat, and he did it all the way, speaking eloquently, he heard a few maids next to him coming over, he said it more energetically, and from time to time he pulled his eyes to see Shining's reaction, she always had a smile on her face, tepid, but her eyes were a little erratic, and she was clearly a little distracted.
Yin Zhi tried his best to talk about the women at the border pass dressed in bright clothes, there is a unique style, the girl's wrists and ankles are tied with silver bells, gestures, the bell is crisp and pleasant, so that people can't help but stop and look, Sun Shining came back to his senses, but saw him take out a brocade purse: "I also bought a few for you, I don't know if you like it." ”“
At that time, he saw this situation, and for some reason remembered Shining's fierce appearance, saying that after the fall, he turned around and left, with a slender waist and light steps, and stood on the side of the road for a long time, until an old woman came forward to peddle, soft fabric lined with silver bells, he quickly paid for it, carefully put it away, and thought that he would come back to Tiandu to give gifts.
Sun Shining took it generously, the colorful cotton threads hooked the flowers, and the stamens were small silver bells, and they shook them in their hands, and the bells sounded thinly, as if the girl covered her mouth and chuckled: "I also want to go to the border to see the scenery you said, these people." ”
"If there is a chance in the future, there will always be a chance." Yin has catered to her meaning in everything, but whenever he sees her showing some sincere smiles, he happily does not know where to put his hands and feet, I used to hear people say that after three months in the barracks, the sow can also stuff the sable cicada, but I didn't expect him to just walk for a month, looking at Sun Shining is everything is good, the way she speaks, the way she looks down and smiles, the way she raises her eyes to look at people, each one is in line with his heart, "Then these bells, do you like them?" ”
"I like it." Sun Shining's hand reached over and returned the purse to him, "However, I can't accept it." ”
She was wearing a pink and green short shirt, with goose-yellow hems rolling on the cuffs, and her wrists were as complexion as snow and frost, just under Yin Zhidu's nose, which made people's eyes dazed, and he was anxious all of a sudden: "Since you like it, why can't you accept it!" ”
"No, why, just can't take it." Sun Shining's voice was soft, but his attitude was firm.
"Girl, the time has come to drink the medicine." Holly brought a steaming decoction, and when she saw Yin, she was about to salute, but was stopped by Sun Shining, she didn't want others in the mansion to know his true identity, and she didn't want to be rumored in the future.
"What's wrong with you?" Yin couldn't help but take the medicine bowl, and suddenly choked, "What kind of medicine is this, it smells bitter and hard to swallow, you drink these every day, I will let the imperial doctor in the palace take a look at it for you, don't delay the condition." ”
