Chapter 70: Mrs. Tanhua

Jiang Xiaolou took over the Jiangjia shop again and immediately redecorated all the shops. Soon, the shop began to operate again. The people outside didn't know that the owner had already changed inside. Only when they saw the brand-new plaque, they would ask more in surprise. However, there are too many people surnamed Jiang in the capital, and they would never think that the shop had already returned to the original owner.
Jiang Xiaolou re-estimated the value of the fifteen stores and calculated it to Xie Kanghe based on the cash.
Xie Kanghe repeatedly rejected it, but saw that Jiang Xiaolou was very persistent, and then he reluctantly accepted it, but in his heart he secretly made up his mind. When Jiang Xiaolou got married, he would give her the money as a dowry. Jiang Xiaolou originally wanted to buy a house alone and move out, but Xie Kanghe resolutely refused, calling her to persuade her repeatedly.
"If you are allowed to move out like this, you will come to the ground. How can I see my old friend? Am I going to tell him that Xie's family is so big that even a lonely girl can't be accommodated?" Xie Kanghe looked on. Seriously.
Jiang Xiaolou knew the other party’s feelings, but just smiled and said, "Uncle Xie, I didn’t mean that. I said that I wanted to move out. The most important reason was for the Jiang family’s house. The house was furnished by my father. Buy it back and welcome back the tablets of father and brother."
Xie Kanghe was taken aback for a moment, and then he pondered for a long time before saying: "I was negligent. You are right. The Jiang family's house should also be bought back as soon as possible. The real thing is returned to the original owner, but -"
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Xie Kanghe and understood the other side's embarrassment: "It's just that now this house is in the hands of the Qin family. For a while, I will want to get it back from their hands. It is definitely not that easy, is it?"
In a word, Xie Kanghe's face changed. During this period of time, he had also negotiated with the Qin family several times, hoping to spend a large sum of money to secretly redeem the Jiang family's house, but he did not expect that no matter how much silver was paid out, the Qin family would be killed. Occupying other people's place, slaughtering other people's children, unrepentant and even proud, there are such people in this world, it is really amazing. Xie Kanghe couldn't help but bring some guilt: "Uncle is incompetent and can't help you."
Jiang Xiaolou hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't blame yourself, I should have redeemed the Jiang family's house myself. Uncle has already had a lot of trouble, and Xiaolou is very sorry, how can I let you work like this again. Don't worry, I will definitely find ways to get Jiang Mansion back, and I will never let my father and eldest brother look cold."
Xie Kanghe was worried and couldn't help but said, "The Qin family is not easy to get along with. The house is big, beautiful in environment, and good in Feng Shui, I'm afraid they will never nod easily—"
Jiang Xiaolou looked indifferent and said: "Of course not now, but there will always be times."
When she spoke, her white face showed a trace of determination. Xie Kanghe was a little bit unsure. Qin's family was a big cause, and there was another son who was beloved by the prince. It would be hard to get Jiang's back from their fingers. Coupled with the old grievances between the Jiang family and the Qin family...If things get up, I am afraid that many old things will be revealed, which will damage Xiaolou's reputation. He persuaded in a low voice: "Xiaolou, my uncle will buy you a new house, and this house will be used slowly in the future."
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes were as clear as mercury, and he said decisively: "No, all the plants and trees in this house are all arranged by his father. In any case, I will try to get it back. Uncle, you don't have to worry about me. I have my own opinion."
Seeing her persistence, Xie Kanghe sighed helplessly. He now understands that Jiang Xiaolou’s personality is actually very similar to that of Jiang Chengtian. He looks easy-going and has a gentle temper, but he meets what he insists on. , It was nine cows and couldn't pull it back. Thinking that Jiang Chengtian had made up his mind to avoid him back then, and looking at what Jiang Xiaolou looks like now, Xie Kanghe slowly said: "In any case, my uncle will support you. By the way, are the shops that I just took over are running smoothly?"
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: "Although Xiaolou didn't run around like his elder brother before, he also helped his father read the account book, and knew a little bit about the things on the account. As for the shopkeepers, you can use them if you can. , If you can’t use it, you will return the silver and let them leave. It’s not a big deal, Xiaolou can handle it.

Some people are rejoicing when they change their masters, and some are like bereaved concubines. Because some of them were old servants of the Jiang family, and some were newcomers who entered the shop during the change. But Jiang Xiaolou didn't ask at all. He just invited someone to check the account books within a few days. Who did the tricks, how much money was greedy, and who is diligent and lazy on weekdays, all check it out clearly. With evidence, when you break it, you don't want to be stubborn. Those who deserve to be rewarded are not stingy.
Of course, this is also thanks to her many years of experience with her father, otherwise she would not be able to take over 15 stores in such a short period of time. The businessman's daughter will settle the accounts after all. Xie Kanghe nodded with relief and said: "You have laid off so many people at once. I'm afraid it will be too busy. If you need to, please feel free to tell me that I will transfer some people from Xie's shop to help you."
Jiang Xiaolou was delighted when he heard the words: "Then thank you uncle first."
Xie Kanghe nodded, and immediately began to calculate the recommended manpower around him, who had to use who was shrewd and who was loyal, Jiang's shop was faltering, and he must use reliable people.
Coming out of the study, Jiang Xiaolou met Miss San Xie Xiang head on. Xie Xiang was dressed in a silver-red brocade plum skirt, with dazzling red agate hairpins on her head, and a smile on her face. He stepped forward and smiled affectionately holding Jiang Xiaolou, "Xiaolou, I heard that you have many shops under your control. I don’t know when you can invite me to visit one or two."
There was news circulating in the mansion that Jiang Xiaolou was not a real orphan. Her father left a lot of wealth back then, so she can live so brightly now. Xie Xiang Zuo Siyou thought that since Jiang Xiaolou was so rich, he would naturally not want the Xie family's fortune. There are only benefits to befriending her, but there is no harm, so he changed a happy face and showed great enthusiasm.
Fifteen shops have four jewelry shops, four rice shops, three antique shops, two money houses, one rouge shop, and one shop. Xie Xiang had obviously taken a fancy to the jewelry store and wanted to visit it. Jiang Xiaolou smiled as usual, his eyes lingering and gentle: "Miss San is willing to come, I am naturally very welcome."
Xie Xiang heard the words, her sweet little mouth turned up slightly: "Since this is the case, then I will go in two days, and you must not refuse it!"
Jiang Xiaolou smiled faintly: "The third lady has made an appointment, and I will accompany it myself."
The smile on Xie Xiang's face was even brighter. In her opinion, Jiang Xiaolou was no longer the villain who had tried to seize Xie's property at this moment. Today's Jiang Xiaolou is more like a golden bodhisattva, full of golden light.
After sending off Xie Xiang, Jiang Xiaolou quickly returned to the painting building. Xiaodie greeted him, and Jiang Xiaolou asked, "Where is Xue Ning?"
Xiaodie lowered her voice and said, "Ms. Xue Ning suffered a bit of cold last night and she was unwell. She is lying in the house now, is she going to call her now?"
Jiang Xiaolou shook his head: "Have you seen the doctor?"
Xiaodie replied: "Please, the doctor is prescribing a prescription." But his eyebrows were hesitant to speak.
Jiang Xiaolou didn't doubt it, but said, "Then I'll go take a look."
The two were talking, but saw a slender man coming from the flower hall, just facing Jiang Xiaolou. Jiang Xiaolou was taken aback, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Doctor Fu."
Fu Chaoxuan hadn't seen Jiang Xiaolou for a long time. At this moment, she wore a jade-colored dress and Tingting stood in front of her, graceful and demure, looking like a beautiful lotus flower, making his heart tremble slightly. In recent days, he seems to have suffered from insomnia suddenly. As soon as he lay down, his eyes were open until dawn. He couldn't do anything during the day, his body was fluttering, and his spirit was in a trance. He didn't understand, so he went there. Seeing Mr. Taiwu to see a doctor, he was kicked out by the master, saying that he had lovesickness, so he asked him to find a solution. Fu Chaoxuan couldn't be more clear that his illness was caused by Jiang Xiaolou.
Seeing that his situation was different, his mother specially introduced many beautiful women to force him to come to see him, but he was not born to act, let alone pretend to laugh. He had no enthusiasm for those women and only felt that there was no way to communicate. After thinking about it, he still went to Xie's family...When he actually saw Jiang Xiaolou, he felt that he couldn't say a word.
Xiaodie hurriedly explained: "Miss, the maidservant went out to ask the doctor, and happened to run into Doctor Fu passing by..."
Coincidence, where there is such a coincidence in the world, it is clear that he stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he should come, Fu Chaoxuan laughed bitterly.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at him very strange and couldn't help asking, "Doctor Fu, how is Xue Ning's illness?"
Fu Chaoxuan woke up from his dream, was taken aback, and said, "What did you say?"
Jiang Xiaolou was surprised, and Fu Chaoxuan realized his gaffe, his handsome face suddenly turned red. If Jiang Xiaolou was aware of it, but pretending to be ignorant, he just said softly: "Doctor Fu, I'm asking about Xue Ning's condition."
Fu Chaoxuan said as if he had just awakened from a dream: "I have seen Miss Xue Ning just now. She has occasionally contracted a cold and has some discomfort in her body. I will prescribe two doses of medicine and cover it. There should be nothing serious. Do not worry."
Jiang Xiaolou's white face cast a shadow: "Xue Ning's body has not been very good these days, but she is very stubborn, even if she is sick, she would not let others know."
Xiaodie hurriedly interjected: "I walked in front of her room several times and heard a suppressed cough inside. Miss Xue Ning was worried that our young lady would be worried when she knew it, so she deliberately concealed it."
Hearing what they said, Fu Chaoxuan's expression became serious. He glanced at the door of Li Xuening's confinement room: "No wonder I saw her pulse condition is fragile and her body is extremely weak...According to your statement, her condition is not the slightest. It's getting better, but it has been getting worse. That's why she deliberately kept it from you, and didn't want you to feel uncomfortable for her after you know it. My master's medical skills are unparalleled, and even he said that he could not save people who could not be saved. I can take care of it slowly..."
Jiang Xiaolou was silent for a long time. Li Xuening was her best friend and one of the few people she cared about in this world. If Xue Ning had any accidents, she would definitely feel very sad. She is a very selfish person, knowing that Xue Ning has been suffering from illness all the time, she also hopes that the other party can live longer and longer.
When Fu Chaoxuan saw her doing this, he asked: "Is the medicine prescribed for you still taken regularly?"
Jiang Xiaolou personally sent Fu Chaoxuan out, in a very gentle tone: "Mr. Taiwu prescribed the medicine for me. I have always insisted on taking it. Now my spirit has improved a lot, and I will never feel aches from thunder and rain again."
Fu Chaoxuan set his mind slightly, and then reminded: "Although you have improved, you should not take it lightly. The master said that if you can maintain a peaceful state of mind, it is not impossible to live to 80 in the future."
Jiang Xiaolou laughed: "I have no leeway in doing things. I'm too stubborn and kill a lot of sins, I'm afraid it's rare to end my life."
When she spoke, she had a calm tone and a beautiful smile, obviously she didn't care if she could live a long life.
Hearing such words, Fu Chaoxuan felt uncomfortable. He knew Jiang Xiaolou too much, and he had no way to persuade her. With a three-point unconscious tenderness on his face, Junlang said, "In any case, I hope you can take care of your body and don't let me down..." Before he finished his words, he saw Jiang Xiaolou with surprise in his eyes and immediately retransmitted. Said: "Don't let down my master's wishes."
Fluttershy heard it clearly here, but didn't dare to laugh. In her opinion, this handsome doctor is actually a very good suitor, but his personality is too gentle, and she is afraid that the young lady will not like him very much, and she has some regrets in her eyes.
As soon as Fu Chaoxuan spoke, he suddenly heard a voice with a smile: "I'm still looking for you everywhere, so you are here."
The two of them were taken aback at the same time, and they immediately forgot where the sound was made. I saw a beautiful woman standing in front of her, smiling and looking forward, her body was complex and beautiful, and she was graceful and slender, making it hard to move her eyes.
Xie Yue lifted her lips and smiled: "Xiaolou, it turns out that you have hidden here."
Just now she was enjoying the flowers in the garden pavilion, but suddenly she heard a little laugh from somewhere. Looking into the distance, I saw Jiang Xiaolou walking over with a tall young man, and when he saw the blue shadow, he couldn't help but greeted him.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and introduced: "Miss, this is Doctor Fu."
Xie Yue's gaze fell on Fu Chaoxuan's body, the light moved slightly, and his smile was shallow: "Doctor Fu."
Fu Chaoxuan's voice was low but distant and polite: "I have seen Miss Xie."
Jiang Xiaolou noticed that there seemed to be light flashing in Xie Yue's eyes, and he paused for a while before saying: "This is a famous doctor in Beijing. I specially invited him to see Xue Ning."
Xie Yue's gaze only paused on Fu Chaoxuan's face and then moved away, always smiling: "Long admiring the name."
There are so many famous doctors in Beijing. Fu Chaoxuan is very low-key and too young to be submerged in many white-haired doctors. Xie Yue had never heard of him before. However, the doctors that the Xie family had always hired were powerless to deal with Li Xuening's illness. Jiang Xiaolou was so courteous and personally sent people out. Fu Chaoxuan must not be easy, and the smile on her face was more graceful.
Fu Chaoxuan didn't pay attention to Xie Yue, he just said: "If this is the case, then I will leave first." After speaking, he smiled silently at Jiang Xiaolou, turned around and left with Yaotong.
Xie Yue looked at his back, worried for a moment. When she turned her head, she found that Jiang Xiaolou had already walked past the pavilion, she couldn't help but became anxious, and immediately said: "Walk slowly, Xiaolou, I still have something to ask you."
Jiang Xiaolou stopped, turned around, watched Xie Yue rushing forward, her skirt fluttering, and smiled calmly: "Miss, do you have anything to ask?" She had already seen that Xie Yue just said just for the sake of To resolve the embarrassment of the encounter, it is not really looking for her.
No matter how enthusiastic Xie Yue and Xie Xiang are towards Jiang Xiaolou, she is always neither lukewarm nor humble nor overbearing, never calling them by their boudoir names, and they are always judged by ranking. This shows that she did not really accept these Xie family members in her heart. Xie Yue knew very well in her heart, but her coquettish smile remained undiminished. She said softly: "Actually, I have something to ask for."
Jiang Xiaolou listened, with ripples in his eyes: "Miss, is there anything I need Xiaolou's help?"
Xie Yue thought about it for a long time. After all, she couldn't hide her shame, and her voice was slightly low: "Actually, there is nothing serious, but I suddenly remembered one thing...Before, Aunt Wang always said that her joints would be sore when it rained. In the past two days, the illness became more serious, and I was almost bedridden. I have hired countless doctors, but I don’t know if I can hire Doctor Fu..."
Jiang Xiaolou just watched her and didn't say anything, until he saw the other person's face flushed, he smiled slightly: "Doctor Fu is so young, will the lady believe him?"
Seeing her loose words, Xie Yue relieved: "The doctor who can be invited by Xiaolou is naturally extraordinary. I just hold the attitude of trying. If it fails, then forget it. I will try to find others. People are."
Jiang Xiaolou sincerely nodded: "He is indeed a doctor with brilliant medical skills, and an internal disciple of Mr. Taiwu, so the mere arthralgia should be no problem."
Xie Yue's eyes lit up and Yingran smiled: "If it is so, thank you first."
Jiang Xiaolou had a deep smile and bright eyes: "You don't need to thank me, you must always let Doctor Fu approve it."
Xie Yue subconsciously said: "As long as Xiaolou you agree, why would Doctor Fu not agree? Are you friends?" Xie Yue had seen Jiang Xiaolou and Fu Chaoxuan talking and laughing from a distance in the pavilion just now, Xie Yue was afraid of herself Go in person, Fu Chaoxuan refused to agree, but changed Jiang Xiaolou but it was quite different.
Seeing Jiang Xiaolou suddenly stopped, looking at him inexplicably, his heart trembled, and he quickly made up: "I...I am also worried for my aunt."
Xie Yue's cheeks were dyed through with the glow of the sun and turned red.
The onlooker Jiang Xiaolou just smiled, "Okay, don't worry, Miss."
Watching Xie Yue leave, Xiaodie curled her lips and said, "What is this young lady doing? Miss, do you think she is weird?"
Jiang Xiaolou took a leisurely look at the sky, with a calm expression: "The eldest lady seems to like Doctor Fu very much."
Xiaodie was shocked: "Why?" Then she thought about it, and said dubiously: "Doctor Fu is young and handsome, and it's not surprising that he can attract women to like it. I heard that there have been marriage grabs in the past!"
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes were shining into the sun, and he gave a light hush.
Fluttershy was puzzled: "But the eldest lady is arrogant. Doctor Fu is just an ordinary doctor, and cannot be compared with the wealth of the Xie family..."
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: "Xie Yue used to have an excellent marriage, but unfortunately her fiance suddenly died of an illness before she was married. She changed from a daughter to be married to a gangster, and she was excluded everywhere. Opposite Xie's family. The people of Xie Yue will never accept Xie Yue’s status, and ordinary people will not look down upon her anyway. Fu Chaoxuan comes from a medical family, and he is so handsome and has a boundless future. Of course, he is worth entrusting for life."
After listening to Jiang Xiaolou's explanation, Xiaodie's eyes widened: "If this is the case, why did you agree, miss, didn't you send Doctor Fu into the tiger's mouth?"
Jiang Xiaolou poked her on the head and said, "Silly girl, that's not what I said. No one is perfect, and no gold is pure. Although Xie Yue has some careful thoughts, it can't be regarded as a crime, if it is Doctor Fu. I have a heart, but it’s a good marriage. Okay, I have to go to the shop. You go back and tell Xue Ning to let her have a good rest, and I will see her at night."
Xiaodie immediately said, "Then I will accompany you, Miss."
Jiang Xiaolou shook his head: "It's not necessary. There are already many guards by my side. Just stay with Xue Ning at home."
Xie's carriage stopped at the door of Boguzhai, and Jiang Xiaolou got off the carriage. The shopkeeper had already stood at the bottom of the steps and waited. As soon as he saw her coming, he immediately put a smile on his face and said, "Miss, please come in."
Jiang Xiaolou stepped up the steps, her face was originally covered with a layer of veil, and a gust of wind blew away the corner of the veil, attracting passers-by to stop. Such a young and beautiful woman turned out to be Boguzhai's shopkeeper, how can it not be amazing! In a corner of the alley, a gorgeous carriage was quietly parked. The people in the carriage saw Jiang Xiaolou entering Boguzhai. One of the beautiful girls was almost glaring with hatred, and clenched her white teeth: "The disaster is a thousand years old. She is really not dead!"
She turned her head, forcibly suppressed the irritation between her eyebrows, and said, "Sister-in-law, have you seen it?"
Liu Yan's heart sank, and the fingers in her sleeves became tighter and tighter, so tight that her body began to tremble slightly: "I didn't expect that she was still alive."
Qin Tianer's eyes were full of chills: "I will teach her a meal!"
Liu Yan grabbed her: "Sit down!"
Qin Tian'er was taken aback, and said, "Sister-in-law, Jiang Xiaolou is still meeting with eldest brother, don’t you worry? She deliberately retaliated and was prepared. Don’t forget, I told you at the beginning, Liu Yao's death may have something to do with Jiang Xiaolou."
There was a flash of jealousy in Liu Yan's eyes. The jealous juice almost choked his throat, her expression inadvertently becoming terrible. She whispered in a low voice: "No matter what, it's not appropriate to talk now."
Qin Tian'er gritted her teeth: "What shouldn't you say, are you afraid that she won't succeed? You are afraid of her, I am not afraid!" She was about to jump out of the carriage again, but Liu Yan was dragged tightly.
Qin Tian'er's voice stiffened: "Sister-in-law, let me go, she is just a helpless woman, why are you so afraid of it."
Liu Yan took a deep breath, the coldness in her eyes was almost overflowing: "Let me ask you, what do you want to say when you rushed into Boguzhai like this?"
Qin Tian'er was dumbfounded by the question: "What do you say? Naturally, it means she—" Qin Tian'er can't take it anymore. Yes, what can I say? No one knows the details of Jiang Xiaolou and Qin Si's affairs, and they will only say that Liu Yan is a jealous woman, and a little romance will make the city full of trouble. The Jiang family's affairs finally calmed down. The eldest brother is now a frequent visitor to the prince's house. If this matter is allowed to reach the prince's ears, it will be bad for the eldest brother Yu, and even worse for the Qin family.
Qin Tianer's face is even uglier than before: "Then let the eldest brother continue to think about her, sister-in-law, you are really magnanimous!"
Listening to Qin Tian'er's yin and yang tone, Liu Yan's face sank, and frost was added to her voice: "I'm not generous, but Jiang Xiaolou didn't break the law and made no mistakes. You rushed to the door for no reason. There is no reason for it, but people will laugh at us. We don't know how to do it. Don't forget what those people say behind the Qin family."
Qin Tian'er's face turned blue and white, and Liu Yan was right. Although Qin Mansion came out of Tanhua Lang and Qin Si became the new nobility of Prince Mansion, they were only born in business, compared with those real nobles. Inferior. Especially those famous daughters who get together and laugh at the Qin family as a nouveau riche. They have not yet fully established themselves. At this moment, they are sending a lot of arguments to others. Isn't it a big joke? After all, Liu Yan was born in Yushifu. She was not really brainless. Compared to Qin Tian'er, she was much smarter, making trouble in private, but she knew that there was no way for Jiang Xiaolou in the public.
Qin Tian'er became more aggrieved: "I didn't like seeing her since I was a child. She was always so rampant, thinking that she was beautiful and talented, as if the whole world was going to be around her."
Liu Yan just smiled when she heard that, she knew her little sister-in-law too much. From Qianjiang Xiaolou to Qin Mansion, the Qin family was like many stars holding the moon and was very friendly to her, even Qin Tian'er was forced to have to A smile was waiting, but the hatred was unwittingly forged. As the jewel in the palm of the Qin family, Qin Tian'er naturally does not want anyone to be above her. Pianjiang Xiaolou is still born with such a beautiful appearance, and she is also a talented girl who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Such a comparison, Qin Tian'er is simply It was compared to the bottom of the earth. But Liu Yan was completely different. She was from a high class and was a real noble girl. Qin Tian'er didn't dare to challenge her anyway, and only dared to stare at Jiang Xiaolou as a bully.
To deceive the good and fear the evil is the nature of Qin Tian'er. Liu Yan despised her from the bottom of her heart, and said softly and comforted her face: "Sister, don't worry, I am not a fool. I will remember Liu Yao's affairs and will never let the real murderer get away with it. As for Jiang Xiaolou, some are How to deal with her."
Qin Tian'er saw her gentle expression inadvertently showing a bit hideous, and said in a daze, "Then I will tell my father when I go back, let him teach him a lesson!"
Liu Yan hurriedly stopped: "Good sister, I know your affection for your sister-in-law, I understand it, and thank you. Just don't say that we have been here today, don't tell anyone!"
Qin Tian'er only felt that Liu Yan was so tolerant, a little inexplicable, and frowned, "Why?"
Liu Yan's face was cold and terrifying, and her voice seemed to be covered with thick frost: "I naturally have the means to deal with her, wait and see!"
When Liu Yan returned to the Qin Mansion, she happened to run into Qin Si walking out of the garden. Liu Yan paused immediately, grinning solemnly, and looking at each other quietly.
Qin Si just nodded faintly, before going past her.
Liu Yanrou said: "My husband, I have something to tell you, can I talk about it in detail?"
Qin Si was taken aback and looked at her thoughtfully. He hadn't entered Liu Yan's room for a long time. At this moment, Liu Yan's sudden okay made him a little surprised.
Liu Yan smiled faintly, invited Qin Si into her room, and ordered the maid to make tea. After everything was settled, he looked at him tenderly and said, "If you are interested, I can agree to marry Jiang Xiaolou."
Qin Sijun's beauty was slightly startled, his brows frowned: "What are you talking about, isn't Jiang Xiaolou dead?"
Seeing Qin Si pretending to be incomprehensible, Liu Yan sneered in her heart, but she said: "You probably don’t know, I met Jiang Xiaolou on the street today, she is now Bogu Zhai’s lady boss is now. She is more beautiful and gentler than before, and her temperament is so different at a glance, I hardly dare to recognize it."
Qin Si breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "Oh, it's really surprising that there should be such a thing."
Liu Yan sneered: I don't know, it's strange if I don't know! The smile on her face was like a gentle mask, and she kept hanging on it: "To be honest, I have always been dissatisfied with how Jiang Xiaolou is better than me, which makes you so reluctant to bear her. But then I thought about it. Husband, you are a nostalgic person. She has suffered a lot in the past. I can fully understand your sympathy, compassion, and compensation. In a word, it is better to be perfect than all three of them are suffering and continue to be worthless. With you, when we live together, you will definitely be happy, and you will be refreshed when you do things. You are in a good mood, why am I not happy?"
Qin Si looked at her with a complicated expression: "You are telling the truth?"
Liu Yan's smile is more sincere: "Naturally it is true."
Qin Si said uneasy: "You don't regret it?"
Liu Yan sighed: "Naturally do not regret it." However, she watched her words and expressions, and went on to say: "It's just that our Qin family and Jiang family have old grievances after all. I'm afraid Jiang Xiaolou's mind is not simple. Husband, you have to make up your mind. , Keep one more mind and don't be blinded by her."
Qin Si smiled confidently: "You can rest assured about this. I still don't even know whether a woman is true or false. It is the blessing of my Qin family that you are so generous. I am really happy. I can marry a good wife like you."
The smile on Liu Yan's face is more distinct, almost gentle and virtuous to the extreme.
After sending Qin Si away, Liu Yan's face was completely gloomy. She whispered to Mother Yang next to her, "Are you ready for everything I asked you to prepare?"
Mother Yang said immediately: "Mrs. Young Master, the slave and maid always feel scared in her heart about this matter, look at it-is it right?"
Liu Yan's eyes turned sharper, and said: "Back when my mother asked you to be a companion house for me, it was because she wanted you to give me ideas and help me out of trouble! You see, it was just a small matter that scared me like this. My mother really believed you wrong. !"
Mother Yang felt tight and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on her forehead: "But this fact is too—"
Liu Yan has already stood up and looked at her coldly and said: "If you refuse to do it, I can arrange other manpower. You will go back to the house tomorrow!"
Mama Yang immediately said anxiously: "Mrs. Young Master, the slave and maid will do it, and the slave must do it!"
Liu Yan then showed a trace of satisfaction. She whispered: "In any case, this thing must be successful. You have to try to arrange it, and don't let go of the news."
Mother Yang nodded again and again: "Don't worry, Madam, the servants and maids will do their best to make things beautifully, so that no one will doubt us."
Xiaodie glanced at the sky, and was about to remind Jiang Xiaolou that he should return home, but saw that the lady was carefully checking the accounts, so she went to add lamp oil first.
Jiang Xiaolou had just turned a page, and in a daze, he heard loud noises coming from outside, mixed with women's crying. At first she thought it was her own hallucinations, but the crying became louder and louder, and occasionally shouts came. She frowned and told Xiaodie: "Go out and see."
Li Xuening was in good spirits today, and specially accompanied Jiang Xiaolou out to see the shop. At this time, she also looked in the direction of the door, with doubts on her face. After a while, Xiaodie returned and reported softly: "Miss, there are a few beggars outside. Shopkeeper Yao has already dealt with them, so there should be no serious problems."
Jiang Xiaolou continued to look down at the account book in his hand. However, the voice didn't stop growing louder and louder. Jiang Xiaolou couldn't stand it, stood up and lost the account. Xiaodie hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you going out to have a look?"
Jiang Xiaolou nodded, Li Xuening also stood up, and said: "Then I will go with you."
The sky outside was getting dark, and the moon rose to the sky. With the hazy lantern, Jiang Xiaolou saw a few people in ragged clothes crying at the entrance of the store, and the shopkeeper was instructing Xiaoshe to drive them away.
Li Xuening said, "Treasurer Yao, what are you doing?"
Shopkeeper Yao shocked the two masters at a glance, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The two young ladies are just a group of beggars. I want to drive them out. Who knows that they are crying and crying and refusing to leave. Don't worry, I will immediately Just clean up here. It's windy outside, and go in for a cup of hot tea!"
Li Xuening looked at the few people expelled by the shopkeeper, all of them in tattered clothes, their faces as dust and loose hair. Now the weather is getting colder, wearing a thick jacket skirt and cloak, she is still trembling in the cold wind, but these people are barefoot, and at first glance they are red and swollen with frostbite and bruising, looking very pitiful. She couldn't help but moved her secret heart, and said to the shopkeeper: "What are they going to do in such a cold day?"
Shopkeeper Yao said: "Ms. Li, these beggars are here to beg for food, but they shouldn't stand in front of the store and delay our business."
Li Xuening looked at Jiang Xiaolou. Jiang Xiaolou sighed and said, "Give them some cakes and hot soup. Let them drink before leaving."
Shopkeeper Yao hesitated: "But it's not in compliance with the rules. The most taboo thing in doing business is these people who come to beg for food. They will be unlucky!"
After the shopkeeper's concerns were expressed, Xiaodie couldn't understand his face, and said: "This shop is the girl's or yours. The girl asks you to give them some food, but you push back and forth. It's too arrogant!"
Shopkeeper Yao was taken aback, and quickly said: "Yes, what you said is, I will do it right away!" After saying that, shopkeeper Yao hurried in and ordered the young man to quickly prepare some hot soup and pancakes, which were specially served in a large iron bucket. All the way out to distribute to these begging people.
They thanked them again and again, and they drank the hot soup in a couple of mouthfuls, but the flatbread was reluctant to eat, so they stuffed them into their arms. Li Xuening looked at the other party's gorging appearance, her eyes flushed.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said, "Xue Ning, your heart is still so kind."
Li Xuening shook his head gently: "In this world, it is not easy for anyone to live. Look at them, some people have white hair, wandering around and homeless, I just feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Jiang Xiaolou looked as usual: "There are too many things like this in the world. It's not that I am cruel, but I just can't manage it."
Li Xuening also understood this, and just said softly: "Yes, if you can do your best, do your best."
Jiang Xiaolou looked at the beggars in ragged clothes, and ordered the shopkeeper to take out some cakes. When the beggar saw the grain, he immediately grabbed the bread.
There are thousands of beggars in Beijing, but they don't come in groups. These people are a little strange. Jiang Xiaolou saw that most of them were old and weak, but they had a couple in their 30s. The woman was holding a child in her hands, but she spoke with a Liaozhou accent. She couldn't help but feel surprised and asked: "Are you from Liaozhou?"
The woman raised her head, but her face was yellowish and thin, her expression languid, she wanted to say something, but she hugged the child in her arms tightly and dropped her head without saying a word. The man next to her replied, "Yes, we are from Liaozhou. Because the land in our hometown was taken by the powerful, we had to leave our hometown and come here."
Hearing the words, Jiang Xiaolou looked at the couple carefully, looking inexplicable. Seeing this situation, Li Xuening couldn't help but said, "Liaozhou, isn't it your hometown?"
Jiang Xiaolou said lightly: "Yes, my father is from Liaozhou. He took my eldest brother and me and moved all the way from Liaozhou to the capital, speaking of them as my fellows.
There is such a big movement here, but the child is lying motionless, not crying or making trouble, it is a bit weird. Li Xuening asked: "What happened to him?"
The woman finally spoke, with an anxious expression on her face: "It was fine last night, but I can't wake up today!"
Jiang Xiao went upstairs and glanced at the child. He should be two or three years old, but because he has been hungry all the time, only a big head is left. She reached out her hand and touched the child's forehead, only to feel hot. After a moment of contemplation, he turned his head and said to the shopkeeper: "This child is sick, go and ask a doctor."
Shopkeeper Yao showed an embarrassment on his face: "Miss, it's getting late, don't you have to go back home?"
Fluttershy slobbered on his face immediately: "If you ask you to go, just go, what do you do with so much nonsense!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaolou's uncomfortable expression, the shopkeeper Yao immediately said: "Yes, yes, I will do it." He just got off the steps, but suddenly remembered something, and turned around and asked: "Miss, where do you want me? The doctor of the family?"
Doctors refused to come to beggars.
Jiang Xiaolou said, "Go and ask Doctor Fu on Nanping Street. Just tell him that it is Jiang Xiaolou's invitation, and he will definitely come."
The shopkeeper whispered in his heart, but he went to invite someone in person. Jiang Xiaolou then ordered the couple to lead the couple into the yard. As for the others, she gave some money and sent them away.
The woman had been holding the child in her arms, her expression was very nervous. Seeing her like this, Li Xuening couldn't help showing sympathy in her eyes, and she looked out the door frequently.
Half an hour later, Fu Chaoxuan rushed in full of cream, and everyone was relieved.
Jiang Xiaolou said, "Doctor Fu, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but this child is sick and has never been awakened. I am afraid that something will happen to him, so I will let you come to see you."
Fu Chaoxuan thought that something was wrong with Jiang Xiaolou, and his back was cold in anger, but he didn't expect this to be the case and he was taken aback. Soon, he woke up and began to treat the child seriously.
Li Xuening looked at the strange couple from the side, and felt that something was wrong, and said in a low voice: "Xiaolou, if you show the child a disease, let them leave. We are not suitable for taking in strangers"
Jiang Xiaolou glanced at her and saw that her crystal eyes were full of care, knowing that she was a vigilance from the heart, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but the corners of her lips were slightly curled, and she cast approving eyes, but her voice was ordinary: "It's not a problem."
