Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 635

There was a spring rain at dawn, and the roses in the courtyard rushed to bloom.

When the morning light first appeared, the crystal rain and dew reflected the bright soft light. When the wind gently blows, the dewdrops rolled down from the pink petals, like a beauty weeping, very shy.

Zhao Xiwei took the flower scissors and carefully cut off the fresh flower branches.

The maids were holding two bamboo baskets, which were already filled with pink and delicate flowers.

Zhao Xiwei was worried about the business of the teahouse, so he got up early in the morning, ate a bowl of millet porridge and a plate of red date cake in a hurry, and then went to pick flowers in the yard.

Qiao Yunqian hadn't contacted her for a long time, and she didn't know how the teahouse was arranged.

It's just spring, and the weather is getting better every day. Now that I'm still in good shape, it's time to roll out the plan step by step...

"Although this rose is good, you have to be careful not to hurt your hands when you pierce it."

A gentle voice came from the door, waking her from her thoughts.

Zhao Xi looked up slightly, his expression slightly startled.

A woman in green clothes is standing beside the flowers, clusters of pink flower branches are piled up, covering her pretty face, but her gentle and affectionate smile cannot be concealed.

She looked around thirty, her hair was tied high, and a pair of hairpins inlaid with gold and jade were inserted. Her eyebrows were extremely slender, and a light pink peach blossom was painted on the center of her eyebrows with rouge. She looked brighter than a girl. A little delicate.

And what made people unable to move their eyes away was her extremely gentle smile.

Huizhi has an orchid heart, her tenderness is like water, and her eyes are full of emotion, just like a goddess among flowers.

Suddenly such a woman came out, Zhao Xiwei didn't realize it all at once, and the left and right maids followed Zhao Xiwei back from the East Palace, and they didn't know much about Zhao's affairs.For a moment, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing who the visitor was.

But she is exquisite, so she took the initiative to introduce with a smile: "I heard from your second uncle early yesterday that sister Wei is coming back, but I am not in good health and cannot meet you, so I came here specially today." Hello."

Zhao Xiwei suddenly understood.

It's the woman next to the second uncle, the lady of the Pei family, Pei Xianglan.

Zhao Xiwei only took one look at such a woman, and suddenly understood why Second Uncle Zhao was fascinated by her.

She put her hands on her waist, lowered her jaw slightly, and said hello.

Zhao Xiwei's eyes fell on her slightly raised belly.

Because of the old lady's objection, and Yuan's secret interference, the Zhao family has not held a wedding banquet for her until now.But what was rare was that she didn't have the slightest bit of resentment or sadness, but a kind of peace that went along with the situation.

Zhao Xiwei entered the mansion yesterday, and with her present status as neither embarrassed nor embarrassed, it is impossible for her to have a chance to meet.

It's just... Zhao Xiwei didn't know her well, so why did she come over suddenly?
He welcomed people into the house and served hot tea.

Zhao Xiwei turned around and took a long azure vase, picked two pink roses and trimmed off the excess branches and leaves, then inserted them into the vase, and placed them on the table at will.

Pei Xianglan's eyes fell on the layers of flower branches, her red lips were lightly pursed, and she smiled sweetly: "Miss Wei is really ingenious, this flower blooms in my yard, so it can only be wasted for nothing."

Zhao Xiwei saw that she had something to say to him, so he glanced to the left and right.

The maids retreated one by one.

"I heard that Sister Wei is going to start a business." Pei Xianglan smiled slightly, "When I was in the south, I also took care of the family business for several years, but I didn't have much ability, and I was a single family, so I couldn't support it... ..."

"Sister Wei is several times smarter than me, so naturally she can make a career." Her tone changed, and she looked at Zhao Xiwei with bright eyes, "It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning. Business is a headache. A few months are the most troublesome, if sister Wei doesn't mind, I'm willing to help you a little."

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment, but did not answer immediately.

She didn't even think about doing a lot of big and prosperous business, at most, she just wanted to have a place to settle down, and she didn't want to drift with the tide like duckweed, let others handle or abandon her.

Although it was very troublesome at the beginning, it was impossible for her to let someone from the Zhao family intervene, especially if this person was Pei Xianglan.

Seeing her pursed her lips and said nothing, Pei Xianglan knew what was on her mind, but she didn't show any embarrassment, she just smiled and said softly: "Over the years, I have saved a lot of money, and I want to do something on my own." , but after all, my knowledge is shallow, and I have been unable to figure it out, and then I met your second uncle, who came and went, so it was so delayed."

Sighing slightly, she couldn't help stroking her lower abdomen, as if feeling a little melancholy, "But now I am no longer alone, and I can no longer live a day-to-day life like before. Yes, I have to think carefully about the future..."

"And you know my current situation. Although I don't mind it myself, the children will have a place to stand in the future... Whether it is a son or a daughter, as a mother, I can plan for them. one cent……"

It's a heartfelt truth.

Zhao Xiwei understood this feeling very well.

But understanding is understanding, and it is absolutely impossible for her to rashly accept the partnership.

Let alone those who don't know the basics, even relatives who know the basics, it is difficult to make a business together.

The reason why she chose Qiao Yunqian was because she couldn't come out in person due to her status at the time, but because she liked Qiao Yunqian's sense of propriety.

She neither pinched her to be strong, nor was she weak or shrinking back. Most importantly, she never underestimated her when she was humble, and never fawned on her when she was noble.

Of course... Cui Yurong is also a very good friend, but that girl is not interested in doing business.

"Miss Wei." Pei Xianglan called softly.

She looked at Zhao Xiwei, her eyes were so soft that water could be squeezed out, and for a moment, she had the urge to satisfy whatever request she made: "I have 3 taels on hand, if you don't mind, I will invest all in it for you to do business."

Zhao Xiwei was a little startled: "Vote for me?"

"Hmm..." Pei Xianglan nodded, she didn't seem to be joking at all, "This money is my dowry back then, plus the odds and ends of my own business. I never told anyone , not even your second uncle."

Her tone was gentle but well-organized, obviously she had thought it over long ago: "But as a woman, I carry so much money with me, it's like a child carrying gold in a busy market. One is unsafe, and the other is..."

She lowered her head, looked at her belly, and stroked it tenderly with her palm, "It is said that poor and lowly couples have nothing to worry about, but they sleep on gold every night, and there are many couples who have turned against each other... In this life, I just want to be with you." Second Uncle lived his life in peace of mind, no longer expecting any glory and wealth..."
