Woe and fortune rely on, today by the people of Jiangfu so troubled, Chu Yao's sweet water shop is also famous in this area, there are only a lot more guests who come to buy sweet water today than in the previous two days, and there are more women who come in groups, in addition to tasting the sweet water in the shop, but also to get a glimpse of her face, praising her for not being afraid of power, and being a model of women.

Chu Yao was embarrassed by the praise, but she was happy in her heart, so she gave them two more plates of pastries.

Fortunately, Su Nian also stayed here to help today, so Chu Yao and Qiu He would not be too tired.

After closing, Su Nian helped Chu Yao calculate the income of the past three days, which was far from returning to the original price, but the daily income was always surplus except for the purchase of ingredients and the hired helpers, and there was a lot of surplus.

This is a good start, and if we can maintain half of the surplus in the future, it is estimated that we will be able to return to our capital in less than half a year.

Chu Yao took advantage of this to ask Su Nian: "If you help me out today, then Steward Qin will definitely go back to Jiangfu to complain, will you still go to Jiangfu to be a female gentleman in the future?" ”

"Naturally, I won't go." Su Nianyun said lightly, without showing any reluctance, and even comforted her one step ahead of her, "You don't have to blame yourself, I don't go to Jiangfu anymore because it's not entirely because I help you out, they humiliated you with your Heli today, and I have also been with you, if I am careless in Jiangfu one day, I'm afraid they will also use the same words to humiliate me?" Jiang Mansion has such an improper master, and I don't want to make a living under such a person......"

Although she said this, Chu Yao still inevitably felt guilty in her heart: "No matter what, you lost this job because of me." Do you remember what I said to you at the gate of the yamen before, I have a shop in my hand, and if you don't like it, I want to give you a ...... to take care of."

"You still have a shop?" Mo said that Su Nian was taken aback, and Qiu He was also surprised, "Cousin, you actually have a shop?" Is it rented or bought? ”

"Bought it," Chu Yao stretched out two slender fingers, "I bought two." ”

"Wow!" Qiu He exclaimed, "Cousin, you are simply a rich woman!" ”

"Where is the rich woman?" Chu Yao couldn't cry or laugh, "I really don't have anything else except these two shops and that house, and the amount of money I have saved in the past few years has been almost spent......"

"The money will be earned in the future, A-Yao, you are really courageous!" Su Nian praised.

"Actually, it's not that I have the courage, it's just that I was forced to spend the money in the first place." Now that she has opened the shop by mistake, the business seems to be doing well, which Chu Yao did not expect, but whether it will be smooth sailing in the future, she herself has no bottom in her heart. "Sister Su, my two shops have been idle since they were bought, and I sincerely want to entrust them to you, I don't know if you are willing?"

Su Nian thought for a moment: "If it's really idle, it's a pity, if you can't be busy, I'm willing to take over the family and try, but I don't have so much money in my hands to pay you rent for the time being, I can make a note and slowly make ......up for it in the future."

Chu Yao smiled and said no: "Sister Su, I can trust you." ”

Su Nian insisted: "No, I must set up the letter, otherwise I will not be happy to ...... it."

Chu Yao couldn't resist her, so she had to agree: "Okay, I'll go get a pen and paper." ”

"I'll get it!" Qiu He stood up first, "I put it away after Brother Hong ran out yesterday, cousin, you may not be able to find it......"

Fang mentioned Hong Shan's name, but he didn't expect the other party to just walk in.

"Mrs. Chu, I still have to write a letter to my master today, can I borrow a pen and paper again?" He was a burly man, with a loud voice and a hearty smile on his face.

"Of course you can, Brother Hong, please come in." Thanks to him during the day, they were not bullied by the people of Jiang Mansion. "But Brother Hong, didn't you just write it two days ago, and you have to write it again today, so often, will your master really read it?" She had seen the content of Hong Shan's letter to Pei Zhan, although there was no rhyme at all, but it recorded everything about her. Duhe has been away for so long, does Pei Zhan really care about her affairs?

"I don't know if my master will read it, but until the master orders me to be informed, I have to keep writing a letter every two days as I was instructed......"

Qiu He took out the pen and ink from behind the counter, held it up and asked him and Su Nian: "Brother Hong, are you in a hurry to write?" Sister Su just happened to be writing something......"

Hong Shan sat down next to him: "Don't worry, Su Niangzi will write first." ”

Su Nian looked at him, a polite smile bloomed on her beautiful fair face, and she greeted him with a slight bow.

Hong Shan hurriedly clenched his fists in return.

Qiu He is still helping to study ink, Su Nian laid out the paper, brushed his sleeves and held the sheep and soaked in the ink, the pen was full of ink, Hao's wrist moved slightly, and the pen was like a cloud of smoke, and the beautiful and neat little Kai slowly emerged under the pen......

"Sister Su is not only good-looking, but also good-looking...... Qiuhe couldn't help but praise.

Su Nian laughed: "It's your sweet mouth." ”

"It's not that my mouth is sweet," Qiu He called Chu Yao and Hong Shan to see, "Cousin, Brother Hong, do you think Sister Su's handwriting is good?" ”

"It's good-looking, Sister Su will open a private school in the future, and she can attract a lot of students just by thinking about it......

Hong Shan's big head also came over, and his voice was inexplicably a little stumbling: "Good, good-looking, the word Su Niangzi is much better than what I wrote......"

Su Nian covered his lips and smiled, and wrote down.

A piece of paper was quickly written, and Su Nian handed the pen to Hong Shan and gave up his place.

Hong Shan held this delicate and warm sheep's hair, the first word written by the pen was so ugly that he couldn't read, and he caught a glimpse of the three little ladies all looking at him in unison.

Suddenly, I thought that the letter I wrote to my master, except for Chu Yao, could not be read by others, so I immediately covered the first word, took a pen and paper and went to the corner to write it with my back to them.

Qiu He's straightforward laughter immediately came from behind him: "Brother Hong is shy hahaha......"

Chu Yao knew that he was not really shy, Qiu He was illiterate, but Su Nian did, he was afraid that he didn't want others to know what he was going to write.

It's just that today's incident, although Jiang Fu did it, it can't be blamed on Jiang Qingci. Chu Yao walked to Hong Shan's side and whispered to him, telling him not to write down the trouble in Jiangfu, so as not to implicate Jiang Qingci, he helped himself a lot before, and Jiang Fu didn't get any bargain in this matter today, and he just treated it as if it didn't happen, and it was also regarded as a favor from him before.

Hong Shan was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, in the end, she tore up the two lines she wrote at the moment and wrote a new one, only writing that her shop opened smoothly, and that was all.

*

The moonlight is light, half-hidden in the flowing clouds, the palace under the silver light is brightly lit, the fragrance of autumn laurel is faintly floating, and the forbidden after the chaos has experienced several waves of purging, and in recent days it has finally returned to a peaceful faction.

The little palace maid Ah Yuan, who had just entered the palace, walked in the path with a glass lamp, illuminating the path under her feet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was respected behind her.

His Royal Highness the young crown prince, Yuye Jinke, dressed in brown and gold lotus pattern flying shoulders and wide sleeves, decorated with a dragon carved jade plate under the carved ribbon, has a long body, and moves like a star.

Everyone in the palace said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was good-looking, and the little palace maid had only heard about it before, and had never been fortunate enough to see the true face, and today she was temporarily assigned by the aunt in charge to hold the lamp for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the little sisters who worked with her were envious, and asked her to take a few more looks, and come back to talk to them.

Not long after Ah Yuan entered the palace, he learned the rules and etiquette in general, and when he glanced back at his kung fu, he was shocked by the dragon and phoenix, and his breath stagnated, and his steps were chaotic. stepped on the skirt with his left foot, fell down when his body was crooked, the glass lamp in his hand fell out, and the candle flame was extinguished.

She hurriedly knelt on the ground and confessed her mistake in fear: "Your Highness forgives your sins!" The slave didn't mean it......"

Pei Zhan, who was wandering in his mind, came back to his senses and looked down at the trembling little palace maid.

Recently, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace have almost changed ninety, leaving only one percent of the old palace maids and eunuchs to teach newcomers to learn rules and manners, and the little palace maid in front of her is obviously a jerky one, presumably it has not been a few days since she entered the palace, so why bother to be harsh.

"It's all right, get up." There is a palace lamp every three zhang on both sides of the path, and there is also a bright moon hanging high in the sky casting a faint silver light, and there is nothing without the glass lamp.

Ah Yuan was pardoned, and he was very relieved, and secretly thanked the prince for his magnanimity: Who said that His Royal Highness the prince is cold-hearted and unkind? Your Highness, he is obviously a very good person......

Pei Zhan returned to the East Palace and went to see Brother Ming first as usual.

In a few days, the little baby will be one year old, after all, it is his first child, the father and the queen mother still like it very much, and plan to hold a first birthday banquet for Ming Ge'er in the palace, invite the clan relatives and ministers in Beijing to participate, and contact the relationship between the royal family and the old ministers and the new ministers by the way......

Pei Zhan knew that it was sincere to hold a birthday banquet, and it was also true to win the minister's heart.

Moreover, today's queen mother called him over and told him a few words, saying that she would order the ministers to bring their families here, and then the ladies of all families would gather in the palace, asking him to take a good look at each other and choose one to marry into the East Palace as soon as possible.

Yes, it's really not okay if he doesn't have a woman in the palace?

If she doesn't take her over, she's afraid she won't be coaxed away by other men.

A few days ago, I received a letter from Hong Shan, saying that Jiang Qingci, the son of Jiang Tongju, had an ambiguous relationship with Chu Yao, and he was helping and sending things, and he was very attentive, asking if he needed to break Jiang Qingci's legs?

Jiang Qingci is the son of Jiang Tongju, Pei Zhan lived in Suizhou Mansion for a period of time, this Jiang Tongci flattered him in every way, and he didn't care about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Then another letter came, saying that Jiang Xiaolangjun could not confess, but Zhen Yao had clearly refused.

Oh, dare to confess?

It's better to break your leg.

The next few letters were all going well, and Jiang Xiaolangjun did not appear again.

Forget it, let's keep his legs.

The letter I received yesterday was originally written at the beginning and everything went smoothly, but it was crossed out again, and the ink color behind it was obviously different from the ink color of the first few words, obviously re-written after some hesitation.

It is written that Jiang Xiaolangjun wanted to marry Zhu Yao as his wife, but the Jiang family's parents disagreed, so they sent someone to the door of Zhen Yao's shop to spread rumors and insult them, and it was preferred that it was Zhu Yao who seduced Jiang Xiaolangjun......

Oh, it's cold, Jiang Tongju should also move the place, and stay in Suizhou.

"How's Ming'er doing today? Can you still have a fever? He picked up his son and asked the nurse and Zhiye.

Brother Ming has been a little uncomfortable since he entered Beijing, and he has been feverish intermittently for the past two months, always crying, and not eating much, and he is not as round and chubby as before.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the little emperor grandson was fine in the morning, and it was hot again in the afternoon, and the imperial doctor came to take a look, saying that the child was too young to eat a lot of decoction and medicine, so he could only slowly recuperate with medicinal food...... "Zhiye was entrusted by Chu Yao to enter the palace with the nurse and Brother Ming, and originally thought that he could go back after taking care of the little emperor and grandson in the palace for a few days, but he didn't think that the little emperor and grandson had been sick, and she had not yet recovered, so she had been staying in the palace.

"Hmm." It sounds like it's fine, but after all, I've been sick for so long, and it's necessary for the child to come and have a look.
