After eating at noon, everyone unloaded the tables and chairs and other furniture on the ox cart and placed them, and the remaining small items were slowly sorted out, so that Jiang Qing did not have to bother them to say goodbye.

Chu Yao found a water seller, filled two jars of water, and wiped the house with Qiu He, so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist.

At night, after the two sisters washed, they lay on a bed and chatted, and after chatting, they fell on Jiang Qingci's body.

Chu Yao teased her: "I remember that your needlework is very good, but why did you sew the clothes in Jiang Yanei messily for others?" ”

When she came back with Jiang Qingci at noon, she found that although the cut on his clothes was sewn, the stitches were rough and uneven, and the threads were crooked, so that the clothes on his waist were wrinkled and unsightly.

At that time, she thought that it was sewn by Qiu He, so she was embarrassed to say that it was ugly, so she had to pretend that she didn't see it, thinking that if she broke someone's clothes, she would have to pay for one in the future.

Qiu He said that he was wronged: "Cousin, I really don't blame me for not sewing well, when I sew, Jiang Yanei kept urging me, telling me to sew a few stitches casually, I thought he was in a hurry, so I had to scribble and sew ......"

"Hey, what's the urgency of him then?"

"I didn't know it at first, but when you came back together, I found out......"

"What's the matter?"

"Cousin, you're still pretending to be stupid," Qiu He teased her with a smile, "Of course he's in a hurry to find you......"

"What do you want me to do?" Chu Yao was about to refute subconsciously, but suddenly thought that she had indeed met him on the way back, and at that time she asked him strangely how he came out?

He said it and walked around at will.

"I met him on the way back, yes......" Chu Yao didn't think much about it at that time, "I thought he was just bored and came out to hang out casually, isn't that so?" ”

"Of course not," Qiu He turned sideways, put his arm around her and said, "Sister, I think Jiang Yanai seems to like you......"

These words scared Chu Yao very much: "How come? Doesn't he like you? ”

Qiu He was also stunned immediately: "How come?" I haven't seen him a few times, let alone spoken a few words, so how can he like me? ”

"But he smiled at you and gave you peach blossom dew......"

"He clearly smiles at you more, every time I look at him, he is almost always looking at you, and the peach blossom dew, didn't he also give you a bottle? Aside from that, how can you tell if he likes me? ”

"This ......" Chu Yao took a deep breath and found that something was indeed not quite right.

If it was really her misunderstanding that Jiang Qingci didn't like Qiu He, then was his initiative to help move today just out of the help of friends?

There were also two bottles of peach blossom dew, she just said it casually that day, and he took it to heart, and went to Jiarenzhai to buy it......

What's more, today he held an umbrella to shade her, and changed his name to call her "A-Yao", his ears were slightly red, and he looked a little shy.

But no, what is he shy about her?

All of the above will indeed make people think about it, but if this is the case, it will be concluded that he likes himself, and Chu Yao will never believe it.

She prefers to believe that he has a plan to approach her and curry favor with her......

But what is he trying to do?

Wealth?

She didn't ......

Color?

She is a woman who has given birth to children, how can she be as smart as an unmarried woman?

So what is he trying to do?

Chu Yao suddenly thought: "Could it be that he is plotting those antique calligraphy and paintings?" ”

Qiu He was confused when he heard it: "What antique calligraphy and painting?" "Didn't they just discuss the question of who Jiang Qingci liked? Why did you suddenly talk about antique calligraphy and painting?

"After I left with Lu Erlang, I brought a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings back from the Lu family. At that time, he ran into Jiang Yanei, and he bought a painting from me, and he knew that I still had many of them, and said that he would buy them from me if he needed them in the future......"

"Huh?" Qiu He was a little confused, "Cousin, what are you talking about?" ”

"I want to say that the reason why Jiang Yanei is so good to me must be because he wants to continue to do business with me. He was a good friend of me, and when I bought things from here, I was embarrassed to take too much silver taels from him. But he didn't know that those antiques, calligraphy and paintings were no longer with me, and it made no sense for him to please me like this......"

The more Chu Yao spoke, the more credible she felt: "I have to tell him about this another day, so that he doesn't have to waste any more energy on me." ”

Qiu He didn't understand anything when she heard it, she felt that an elegant and gentle humble son like Jiang Qingci was not like the kind of person with ulterior motives, but after all, she didn't know much about Jiang Qingci, and she had only met two or three times.

The new home was almost settled, and Chu Yao began to start the matter of opening a shop.

The three shops are not good to take care of all of them, and I plan to open one first, and the other two shops are temporarily closed, and if there is an inquiry to rent in the future, the price will be rented out.

Jiang Qing rented to her that the shop was originally a snack business, and it was unpleasant because of the rent arrears, and the boss left all the tables and chairs in the shop to offset the rent, and Yu Chu Yao saved a lot of re-purchase costs, only need to renovate it slightly, change the spicy and fragrant decoration of the house into a delicate and ingenious decoration, cover the tables and chairs with plain and elegant cloth, and add some fake silk flowers on the table, which will definitely please the little girls.

She plans to open a sweet water shop, when she was in the Lu family before, the Lu family had a cook from Jiangnan who was very good at making all kinds of sweet water and dim sum, Chu Yao followed and learned a few of her favorite ones in her spare time, although there are not many tricks, but with the several sweet waters that can be usually drunk, it must be enough to support a sweet water shop.

She also thought that if she could make more money with this in the future, she would go to Jiangnan to learn art there, and come back with more learning.

Of course, this is all for the future, and it will cost a small amount of money to redecorate the house for now.

She didn't have much money on her, so she set aside some of the money she had purchased, and used the rest to buy a piece of fine oil and smoke ink, planning to find an opportunity to give it to Jiang Qingci as a thank you.

I was busy during the day, and I had to make clothes at night.

On the day of the move, Jiang Qingci's clothes were scratched, she thought about returning him, and there were a few good horses at home, so she chose a snow-blue soft Yama, and roughly estimated his figure and made a straight one for him.

It's just that she was so tired during the day, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and the needle accidentally poked her fingers, and the blood spilled onto the cloth, and she accidentally saw it, and immediately fainted on the table, and slept until dawn.

Two days before the opening of the sweet water shop, Chu Yao invited Jiang Qingci to try sweet water, and she made several kinds of it, mostly mung beans, red beans, almonds, sesame seeds, lotus seeds, perilla, lilies and seasonal fruits as ingredients, as well as stews based on milk, with different dim sum, Jiang Qingci tasted them one by one, and gave a good evaluation.

Among them, the sweet water boiled with milk, mint leaves and honey made Jiang Qingci particularly shocked: "Milk alcohol is harmonious, but mint is refreshing, no one has ever paired these two together, how did you think of it?" ”

Chu Yao was full of anticipation: "How does it taste?" ”

"The taste is very special, and it is also a very good ......"

"Yes, I also like this sweet water," Chu Yao was very happy to get his approval, "This is what I learned from a cook when I was in the Lu family, we have never had a sweet water shop in Suizhou City to sell this, although milk and honey are a little expensive, but fortunately, the ingredients are simple, it is easier to make, I want to use this sweet water as the signature of the store, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Qingci thought without thinking: "It's feasible!" ”

The Jiang family has a lot of shops, and Jiang Qingci has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he also has a lot of experience in business management. The sweet water business is not difficult, as long as you choose a good location, make a good taste, and the price is close to the people, you can do it for a long time.

"The day after tomorrow, when you open, I will bring more people to cheer you on." Jiang Qingci thought for a while and said, "You must be very busy that day, I will bring two more servants to the back kitchen to help you." ”

"Why don't you keep bothering you, I've already hired the person to help......" Chu Yao invited him here today not only to taste the sweet water, but also to repay all the favors owed to him before, and by the way, to clarify the misunderstanding.

She took out the fine piece of oil and smoke ink, and the small piece of the palm of her hand cost her twenty taels of silver.

"Jiang Yanei, you helped me a lot before, but I haven't been able to find a chance to thank you," she pushed the beautifully packaged oil smoke ink in front of him, "I heard that this oil smoke ink is not dizzy when it enters the paper, the licking pen is not glued, and it is dark and shiny, I hope that Yanai can use the habit ......"

"How did you see me like that?" Most people who read love ink, Jiang Qingci saw the ink block, although there was a little joy on her face, but she also knew that the ink was expensive, she should have spent a lot of money, "Your new store is the time to use money, this oil smoke ink is very expensive, you shouldn't buy this." I'll help you volunteer, and I don't need your thanks, you still take this ink block and return it......"

Chu Yao didn't want to retreat, so she made a little disappointed: "Yanei dislikes me for choosing this gift badly?" ”

"That's not what I meant," Jiang Qingci heard the word "disgusted" somewhere, and hurriedly explained, "I just don't want you to spend this extra money, we are...... Friends, friends don't need to be so polite......"

"My brother still settles accounts, let alone friends," Chu Yao refused to take back the ink block, and turned around and picked up the finished clothes, "When you helped move that day, the clothes were torn, and I really didn't want to go, so I made one according to your size, you try it, it should probably fit......"

His size is about the same as Pei Zhan, only a little thinner, and his shoulders are slightly narrower, which makes him even more bookish.

Jiang Qingci saw that she had actually made clothes for herself, and her heart was jubilant, even happier than looking at the oil and ink.

He got up and put it on, his slender arms crossed the sleeves, the cuffs fell steadily under his wrists by two points, and the waistline of his shoulders was also very suitable, and the color was elegant and so appealing to him.

"I like this dress made by A-Yao very much." He measured the cuffs, looked down at his coat, and his ears were stained crimson.

This is the second time he has changed her "A-Yao", which is a little more natural than the first time, but she is still as shy and innocent as before.

Chu Yao felt that she had to make things clear.

"Jiang Yanei, in fact, I originally wanted to give you antique calligraphy and paintings, and you also knew before that I brought a lot back from the Lu family after I left with my ex-husband. It's just that the Lu family asked for those things back later, and now there is nothing left in my house......"

Jiang Qingci was still immersed in the joy of her giving her clothes, and when she heard her say these words, she regained some of her positive color: "Since it is something that was given to you, why do you want to go back?" ”

"Actually, I didn't want to go back, I bought it back, they gave me a thousand taels, and then I used this thousand taels to buy this new house......"

"That's the case," Jiang Qingci didn't care about those antique calligraphy and paintings, "It's not a loss for you to exchange those things for a mansion......

"I also don't think it's a loss," Chu Yao saw that he didn't seem to show a look of alienation from himself because of this, so he simply said more clearly, "It's just that I don't have antique calligraphy and painting now, and I have used up the thousand taels of silver, and I have invested the rest of the money in this shop, and my hand is indeed empty now......"

When she had said that, she looked up at him: now she had neither money nor antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there was nothing worth him coveting.

Jiang Qingci's expression gradually became serious: "What do you mean, I understand......"

Chu Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: It's good to understand.

"A-Yao, don't worry," he said, "how much money you'll need, just ask......"

Chu Yao: ......

She didn't mean to borrow money!
