Chapter 61: Questioning
As a result, the water downstream will accumulate more and more, and all crops along the way will be submerged in five days at the earliest and two weeks at the slowest at the earliest.
At that time, the matter of starvation and death is no longer a terrifying rumor, but a lingering grief in everyone's memory.
If it weren't for the fact that she took out all her dowry in the previous life, I am afraid that the whole county king's mansion would have to experience this experience.
Since then, her life in the county palace has become more and more difficult.
Thinking of this, Dou Lianyi's eyes gradually became stained with a faint hatred.
I don't know if it's because Dou Lianyi has been silent for too long, and several shopkeepers look at each other, thinking that she was persuaded by Boss Qin.
A bold shopkeeper cautiously said, "Boss, why don't you give a convincing reason, after all, so many men under your hands are pointing to you to live." ”
was interrupted like this, and the hatred in Dou Lianyi's eyes quickly subsided like a tide,
"I had a dream a few days ago," Dou Lianyi thought for a while, and finally found an excuse and said: "In the dream, an old gentleman told me that the opportunity to make a fortune is in the northwest, and it is related to water, I woke up and wondered, could this be related to the rain that has been raining some time ago, in case the harvest is affected by then......
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by one of the older shopkeepers.
"Owner, how can doing business be such a child's play, it's just a dream, you take it seriously, if this silver is wasted, then everyone will drink the northwest wind!"
At this time, the other shopkeeper hesitated and said: "But Lao Li, the things in this dream are a bit mysterious, the owner has made such a dream inexplicably, maybe it is really God's will?" ”
"Lao Chen, what nonsense are you talking about, if we all believe in this set of business, we won't make any money!"
Shopkeeper Li frowned, and there was a faint disdain in his eyes.
"Hey, what's there to quarrel about, anyway, the old guys under my hand who take the water transport must worship the water lady whenever they go to sea, isn't this just to ask for peace of mind."
Shopkeeper Lin is honest and honest, and his words are also pertinent, and a few sentences will ease the atmosphere.
It's just that in the end, the question was thrown to Dou Lianyi, and the three of them looked at it together, and Qin Mu, who was drinking tea slowly and methodically, seemed to be here to join in the fun.
After a while, Dou Lianyi slowly spoke: "If you make money this time, everyone will be happy, if you really lose, I will make up for it." ”
"Also, in addition to food, I also need you to buy a large number of medicinal herbs."
Dou Lianyi took out the paper that had been prepared and handed it to the four people present.
"Bai Ji, mugwort leaves, arborvitae leaves, notoginseng ......"
Shopkeeper Chen read out the names of the medicinal materials on it one by one, he glanced at Dou Lianyi with some confusion, and asked, "Dongjia, aren't these all medicinal materials for external use to stop bleeding?" Why do you have to hoard so much at once? ”
This time, Dou Lianyi didn't answer, but knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Do as I say." ”
Seeing that several shopkeepers were still hesitant, Dou Lianyi calmly assured again: "In short, all the worst consequences will be borne by me, and you don't need to worry." ”
Qin Mu didn't speak, just silently took everything in his eyes.
After a few shopkeepers left, he got up and asked Dou Lianyi to resign.
"Boss Qin doesn't have any questions for me?"
Seeing him like that, Dou Lianyi became curious.
"Then what does Miss Dou think I should ask you?"
Dou Lianyi stared at him, his eyes unblinking, and said, "Ask me how I can believe in a dream." ”
Qin Mu bent his eyebrows and asked, "Miss Dou is a person with ideas, and she doesn't need to report to me for everything, I believe that Miss Dou must have her own reasons for doing this, but it's just inconvenient to say." ”
"Isn't Boss Qin afraid of losing money?"
"Doing business, there will naturally be losses if you make money," Qin Mu said in a relaxed tone, and said disapprerovingly: "It's just that I have a hunch that Miss Dou won't let me lose money." ”
After that, without waiting for Dou Lianyi to respond, he nodded slightly, turned around and left in style.
Out of the room, the expression on Qin Mu's face immediately became cold.
"Northwest."
He muttered the words, then smiled amusedly, "I don't believe in dreams, you better pray that your dreams aren't real, or you'll have a lot to investigate." ”
"Boss Qin, what do you think of the owner's words?"
Seeing that Qin Mu was behind them, the shopkeeper Li in front deliberately paused and asked respectfully.
"I don't think much of it, since Miss Dou is your owner, you just listen to her."
When Qin Mu raised his face, the expression on his face had already returned to his usual indifference.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li's eyes showed a little disapproval, and after shaking his head, he flattered Qin Mu: "But this owner is a woman's family after all, where will you understand these business things, you still have to mention more Boss Qin." ”
"Shopkeeper Li," the smile on Qin Mu's face was slightly cold, and a hint of imperceptible irritability flashed under his eyes, but his tone still sounded calm, "If you have any opinions about Miss Dou's orders, you can tell her in person, instead of arranging your own owner's words behind your back." ”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li was already a little embarrassed, but he still replied stiffly: "Boss Qin, you also heard it just now, where can she listen to what we say, she has to go her own way, in case there is a loss in the account, is it possible that the owner is really willing to make up for this loss?" ”
"Since she has already promised you, she will naturally do it."
Originally, Qin Mu had something urgent to do, but at this time, he was even more irritable, he frowned, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with Shopkeeper Li anymore, he coldly threw down this sentence, and turned around and left.
Leaving Shopkeeper Li standing in place with a blue and white face, he didn't dare to say anything.
Three days later, it will be the Chung Yeung Festival.
Early in the morning, Lu Lianzhi dressed herself up like the head of the county palace, deliberately combed a high bun, decorated with several pearls and silver balls, and inserted a red gold beaded peony hairpin diagonally next to it, and hung down a few strands of silver silk on the side of her ear.
On her body, she was wearing a carmine Shu brocade skirt, the tail of the skirt was swaying to the ground, and she was draped in a gauze dress embroidered with peonies all over her body, and the texture as thin as a cicada's wings made her whole person even more beautiful.
Standing in front of the courtyard gate, people who don't know still think that this banquet was specially organized for her today.
Even Lu Shangxuan, who came to pick her up, couldn't help frowning and reminded her.
"Lian'er, you're dressed up a little too ostentatious today, I'm afraid my mother will be unhappy after seeing it."
