Chapter 667 Can Aijia Eat You?
The flags are hunting, and thousands of riders are like dragons.

The crown prince led the three armies to bid farewell to the imperial city, passed through Shibafang, exited Mingde Gate, and meandered all the way.

The emperor stood in place, his eyes following his son closely, until the man and the horse became smaller and smaller until they merged into the willows all over the city, and finally disappeared into the sky, he still couldn't bear to look away.

Cao De took a cloak and put it on for him, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's windy, you should be careful of catching cold, you'd better go back to the palace earlier."

"20 years..." The emperor sighed irrelevantly, with an unconcealable sadness in his expression, "...my son has grown up..."

Cao De knew that the emperor was unwilling to give up, so he comforted him: "Your Majesty, rest assured, maybe before the summer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will win and return to the court."

"Hmm..." The emperor nodded, his eyes suddenly sank when he unintentionally glanced at the ground, then he pulled himself together and smiled at the queen mother: "Mother, this child..."

Although the emperor didn't care much about his subjects' family affairs, he had heard about the marriage between Zhao Chengyu and the Wang family. The prince ordered her to be executed, so the emperor thought it was necessary to ask the queen mother for her opinion.

But who knows, the queen mother who thought she would try to interfere, chose to turn a blind eye this time.

She glanced at Zhao Chengyu, who had passed out, and said disapprovingly: "Since the crown prince has spoken, how can the Ai family ignore him? Emperor, you can do it yourself, but don't tell her to die too much." Ugly."

After speaking, he walked back to the palace.

When passing by Zhao Xiwei, he stopped and smiled meaningfully at her: "You must keep that little bow safe. You don't know its secret, but there are many—"

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment, his chin was supported by someone.

The queen mother stretched out two fingers, lifted her chin gently, stared at her carefully as if admiring a flower, and said with a smile: "Such a beautiful little beauty is born like a rose flower." , not to mention the crown prince is reluctant, even if you are sorry for your family, you are also reluctant." Sighing again, he added leisurely, "It looks good, but it shouldn't hide wild thorns..."

That face was as white as if it hadn't seen the sun all year round, and the purplish red lips opened and closed, even under this bright spring light, it somehow made people feel a breath of death.

Zhao Xiwei suddenly remembered a snowy winter afternoon, the queen mother also had such a weird and unpredictable smile, and then poked out a woman's eyes with a light sentence.

Zhao Xiwei shivered for no reason.

Her back was straightened, her jaw moved back, the queen mother's fingertips were empty, and her smile froze immediately: "Huh? What are you hiding from? Aijia can eat you, can't you?"

Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat again.

Li Xuanye had told her to guard against the Queen Mother.

Now is not the time to show off, when it's time to back down, you have to back down.

Just as he was thinking about it, the emperor suddenly laughed: "Mother, this child is timid, and she was scared like this after seeing your two words, so don't tease her anymore. "

The queen mother withdrew her hand and smiled lazily, "Ai Jia just kindly reminded her a word, why is the emperor so nervous?"

The emperor hurriedly smiled and said: "My son is not nervous, he thinks this child is stupid, and he is afraid that she will be unhappy if he offends his mother."

While speaking, he personally held the Queen Mother's hand: "Mother, be careful where you step."

Zhao Xiwei understood, and immediately bowed to salute: "Regards to the Empress Dowager, and Respect to Your Majesty."

Cao De also helped out at this time, and he winked behind him, and immediately all the maids and servants bowed down: "Get up and go back to the palace——"

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the farce finally subsided.

And Zhao Chengyu was dragged away by several guards.

Zhao Xiwei looked at the bloodstains on the ground, feeling a little complicated.

Yuan's husband and wife had a fight with their second uncle, but in the end they broke up unhappy, and became the laughing stock of people after dinner.

One is greedy for money and the other is lustful.

One, in order to avenge her husband, abandoned her daughter in the quagmire.

One put her daughter in the dark in order to cater to the new couple.

……

I don't know what will happen to the Zhao Mansion when the news of being granted death reaches the Zhao Mansion?

Zhao Xiwei didn't have time to think about it.

She went to the teahouse and looked at the account book herself. Qiao Yunqian had already purchased all the ingredients for making Baihua cake.

The two of them checked everything carefully, Qiao Yunqian took the abacus, and said in every possible way:

"Ten catties of cow's milk, ten catties of goat's milk, twenty catties of eggs, which are used to make cheese; twenty catties of red beans, twenty catties of mung beans, and grapes, longan, peanuts, almonds and other dried fruits, a total of fifteen catties. This is It is used for stuffing; as for the peach blossoms used as ingredients, I brought someone to pick them myself. They are all half-opened flower buds and soaked in mountain spring water overnight. This is the most expensive, and the total is only two. A little more than a catty, it cost 20 taels. There are also red sugar, white sugar, rice wine, etc., which add up to 110 taels."

After Qiao Yunqian finished speaking, she felt a little sorry: "The budget is 100 taels, but I didn't expect it to exceed 12 taels. It was about enough, but because there was an accident in a family named Lixia, it was said that her mother had a cough. blood, and I accidentally hurt my hand, so I allocated a few taels of silver to her as an emergency."

Zhao Xiwei didn't care about the 12 taels of silver, but thought that Qiao Yunqian was used to the life of a young lady and didn't understand the principle of increasing income and reducing expenditure.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be sympathetic to the servants.

She pursed her lips into a smile, and closed the account book: "It's agreed that I will hand it over to you as the boss, and you will decide the expenses of the store. I just follow up." After saying that, Jinxiu sent a Box.

Qiao Yunqian took it, opened it for a glance, then raised her head in astonishment: "Sister Wei, you..."

The square box contained bright silver ingots.

A full 1000 taels.

This purchase only cost more than 100 taels, and Zhao Xiwei paid ten times more in one go.

Her hands sank, and she quickly pushed the box back: "Sister Wei, you don't need so much."

Zhao Xiwei smiled and pressed her arm, and pushed the box back in front of her: "Open the door to do business, and ask for money everywhere, and 1000 taels can handle it for a few days. If you don't accept it, then wait a while." If you want to make a purchase this time, you have to come to me by yourself.”

In doing business with a partnership, the most important thing is trust.

Both she and Qiao Yunqian are not short of money. The reason why they want to open this teahouse is not because they cannot survive, but because they want to plan for the future.

Qiao Yunqian also understood her thoughts, so she didn't refuse anymore.

Zhao Xiwei called Bai Lu and others over again, explained the important matters carefully, and finally reminded: "It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. If you do it well, your benefits will be indispensable. If you don't do it well, I won't be too harsh. .Everyone just needs to do their best.”

After taking care of this place, Zhao Xiwei returned to the Zhao Mansion.
