Chapter 79
The cold wind howled fiercely, as if it was peeling off the skin and bones.
As soon as Shen Yanhan and Cai Xizhu left the Duke of Qi's mansion, they both hurriedly got into the carriage to hide from the wind.
"It's so cold!" Cai Xizhu said after sitting down, putting his hand on top of the charcoal basin in the carriage, and then said in surprise: "Oh, is this fire newly lit? It's so warm! I didn't expect that the coachman was quite cool. You are very discerning!"
Hearing this, Shen Yanhan sincerely praised: "Meng Silang is very happy. He has lent us a place to live in these days and also given us a convenient car for traveling. Didn't you see? Because he treats us so kindly, those people under him He also treated us very favorably.”
At this point, Shen Yanhan vowed, and his tone suddenly became sonorous and powerful: "When I have more money in my hands in the future, I must give him something back!"
She praised Meng Changqing, which sounded to Cai Xizhu's ears as if she was praising herself.
Cai Xizhu felt a little uncomfortable, so she remained silent, just thinking that Shen Yanhan was talking to himself, and then changed the subject in an inconspicuous way: "How much have we made from these clothes recently? Ah, Jiaojiao, I'm not I urge you to give me wages. I have spent a lot of money on food and accommodation with you. What I mean is, I want to ask how our business is doing now."
Shen Yanhan didn't answer for a while, because she was busy stirring the charcoal fire. Just now, she used the small stick next to the brazier to stir the charcoal fire that had ignited some smoke. However, she didn't expect that the smoke was not extinguished, but became thicker and thicker. A little more.
The smell of smoke entered Cai Xizhu's nose. Cai Xizhu felt a sense of familiarity inexplicably, and she frowned slightly.
Shen Yanhan stirred the charcoal fire for a while, and after feeling that his actions had some effect, he replied to Cai Xizhu's questions carefully: "Excluding the first set, we have done seven sets of clothes business so far. The first three sets are just to expand our business. Because of his reputation, he only charged the cost of cloth and needlework, without even adding wages. The remaining four sets were sold at [-]% of the cost. If you do a rough calculation, the small profit is about [-] dollars..."
Cai Xizhu couldn't help but widen her eyes, "So much?" It was more than an ordinary female servant's salary in a year!
Shen Yanhan yawned, but his eyes were very bright, and he raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "How much is this? How much is it?"
Shen Yanhan's business was not without purpose, and he had thought carefully before deciding to do this.
Thanks to the fact that her mother Qi Yun was born into a businessman family, and she was influenced by her maternal grandfather's family when she was young, and she is smart, she made a decision at the beginning: to do it, she must do it to make real money and not be easily replaced by others. thing.
For example, when it comes to making ready-made clothes, she has to make her own unique features among the many ready-made clothes stores.
To put it into practice, it is to make high-end, unique clothes for dignitaries to wear.
After all, people in this world are really different.
To be honest, relatively speaking, it is not easy to make money from ordinary people.Apart from the fact that it is not easy for them to obtain money themselves, the responsibilities they shoulder are actually heavier.Most of a family's income is tied to the head of the family. Apart from meeting the expenses of supporting the family, the most that can be saved is a small increase in wealth during the holidays.
And those powerful and distinguished families with deep roots can spend months' wages of ordinary people with just a casual squander.
For example, in the eyes of nobles and nobles, items like clothes are more important as decorations that show their status or taste, while among the lower class people, they are more interested in their practical functions of being durable and decent.
Just imagine, how many ordinary people who earn only [-] guan a year are really willing to spend [-] guan on a piece of clothing?
Shen Yanhan understood this.
In this money-making business, she first set her sights on rich people.
Now that her business is picking up, she feels she made the right choice.In addition, she also feels that she is blessed with good fortune, because the path she has taken so far has been smooth.
As if driven by Shen Yanhan's optimism, Cai Xizhu nodded and affirmed: "Yes, yes! We can make more in the future!"
This is the first time she has truly experienced the joy of making money with her own hands. Although she has not yet received a penny, it is enough to make her excited.
For someone like her who grew up in a small world in Qingshui Village, she went to Lin'an Mansion to observe wealthy families and saw prosperous markets. Although she didn't know the reality in her heart, she also looked forward to living in the city in the future. day.
Cai Xizhu took Shen Yanhan's hand and said, "Jiaojiao, thanks to you! If I didn't trust you, my father would not have allowed me to leave Qingshui Village alone. I have really grown a lot in the past month." Experience, I wouldn’t have dared to think about these experiences in the past.”
Shen Yanhan said deliberately: "Huh, Uncle Cai is wrong to be so reassured! He doesn't know that I am planning to fatten up Zhu and then kill him."
Cai Xizhu heard her secret words immediately and reached out to scratch her, "You are the pig!"
Shen Yanhan was tickled by her and giggled.
The sweet laughter spread out of the carriage and reached the ears of the groom driving in front. His fingers tightened on the reins, and for a moment, he had the urge to take her back to Lanyuan.
But he held back.
He said "drive" in his mouth and drove faster.
In the carriage, after a little fun, Cai Xizhu leaned on Shen Yanhan's shoulder and continued: "Jiaojiao, you are so kind. I only have so little painting skills, and you still ask me to take the lead..."
"Beads."
Shen Yanhan interrupted the little sister.
"Stop saying these shameful things. Your painting skills are indeed not as superb as Qilang's, but you are still drawing every day even at midnight. You also borrowed and sent brochures to Ruyuan Study Library and borrowed many books from there to read. Do you think these Don’t I know? My good Zhuzhu, you work so hard and make rapid progress. I just feel that I am very lucky. You, Hibiscus, Qilang, Meng Silang, Sister Lu... are all helping me. .”
Her voice became lower and lower, and the fatigue in her voice was obvious.
After she finished speaking, she yawned again, with tears in her eyes, and almost murmured: "I feel so tired..."
As if being infected by her yawn, Cai Xizhu also yawned, "Me too."
After a moment, the two young ladies leaning against each other closed their eyes and stopped talking.
Shen Yanhan fell into a long dream.When he regained consciousness, it was already more than half an hour later.
The night stars were high in the sky, the dead branches were swaying in the wind, and the smoke was cold in the haze. I felt my body swaying. At the same time, there was a series of squeaking footsteps in my ears, like stepping on the branches.
Shen Yanhan wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were still heavy and she couldn't open them for a while. She tried hard, but in the end she could only tremble her thick eyelashes.
At this moment, a familiar voice came into her ears——
"Ayan, are you awake?"
Shen Yanhan's heart was shocked, and she opened her eyes in surprise. It was dark all around, with only the moonlight and night snow reflecting each other. When she saw the person whose face was outlined by the moonlight, her face was flushed with warmth. His cheeks suddenly turned pale.
Liang Yifei.
The person holding her walking in the darkness at this moment is Liang Yifei!
Contrary to the horror in her heart, Liang Yifei felt as if his heart was wandering and his body was numb.
Just now he took her out of the carriage. She closed her eyes and leaned obediently on his strong chest. Her apricot cheeks were resting on his shoulders. The faint scent of wine exhaled from the tip of her small nose spread straight to his neck. Her clothes were light and flowing, and as he held her and walked, she leaned on him, and the small section of her neck exposed under the cloak bent into a graceful arc. He could see the whole picture from a glimpse, and he could imagine it, and the traces under the clothes faded away. She has such fragrant skin and beautiful body, as smooth as fat.
He had the purpose of making sure that something happened, but when he saw that the person he loved was so fragile and easy to bully, Liang Yifei felt like a beast was rushing in his heart, causing his soul to drift away from his body, making his mouth dry and his tongue dry.
Today, he must succeed.
The cold wind passed through his ears and there was no one around. Shen Yanhan's heart dropped. He quickly looked around and asked Liang Yifei directly: "Where are you taking me? What are you going to do?"
Liang Yifei looked at the obvious vigilance in the eyes of the little lady in his arms, and his heart was stung, and his heart became harder.
There was pain and hatred in his eyes, "What do you think I'm going to do?"
A man and a woman were alone in the middle of the night. Shen Yanhan didn't dare to imagine what would happen next, and only felt chilled all over.
From body to heart, I have never felt colder.
Liang Yifei looked like someone she didn't recognize.
She looked straight at Liang Yifei, tried to keep her tone calm, and tried to talk to him nicely: "Liang Yifei, it's too dark here. I'm scared. Just send me back. I don't want to stay here."
Her little face was pale and colorless, her eyes showed clear fear, and her body was trembling with fear. She didn't know whether it was for the things around her or for him as a person.
Liang Yifei shook his head hard, "Ayan, I won't listen to you this time."
Seeing how cold and hard he was, Shen Yanhan's eyes changed, and her body began to struggle hard, trying to escape from Liang Yifei's shackles, "Let me go! Let me go!"
Liang Yifei tightened his grip on her legs and arms, locking her more firmly in his arms.
"Ayan, don't make such useless resistance, I will be good to you all my life! I will really be good to you all my life!"
Feeling Lang Jun's oppressive power again, Shen Yanhan's little face turned pale, and the difficulties just now were swept away. There was only panic in her heart, a kind of bottomless feeling that she didn't want to face at all. Right panic.
She kicked her legs and shouted in a trembling voice: "Liang Yifei! Are you crazy? Send me back! For the sake of past friendship, I will never blame anyone, you just need to send me back! What we are doing today is not the same. Existence, please let me go back!"
Shen Yanhan didn't know that as soon as she mentioned the "past", the feeling of emptiness in Liang Yifei's heart would become stronger and stronger, driving him even more to the point of going crazy.
It is precisely because of the past between the two that the situation is like this.
The friendship between him and Shen Yanhan that was supposed to continue came to an abrupt end without him being prepared, and he couldn't accept it at all.
More than that, he couldn't accept why Shen Yanhan didn't look at the past relationship and give him some time to reverse the situation, but instead married someone and became someone else's wife without giving him anything at all. The time buffer also made his subsequent efforts turn into a joke.
Liang Yifei steeled his heart and refused to respond to Shen Yanhan's words. He just hugged her tightly and strode towards an abandoned house that he had arranged.
Seeing how cold and hard he was, Shen Yanhan was even more panicked and put her hand towards Liang Yifei's face. Liang Yifei turned his head and hid.
At this time, the panicked Shen Yanhan lost her mind and couldn't scratch his face, so she resorted to the next best thing and grabbed his chin, neck and any other places exposed outside his clothes.
She didn't save any energy, and several scratches appeared on Liang Yifei's neck.
But he looked calm, as if he couldn't feel the pain. He just turned around and looked at Shen Yanhan, letting Shen Yanhan scratch him.
Like a crazy woman, Shen Yanhan continued to move her hands while crying for Liang Yifei to let her go.
But before she could struggle for a while, there was a loud "bang" and the door panel was kicked open by Liang Yifei's foot. Liang Yifei held her in his arms and strode across the threshold, then turned around and pushed the door panel open with two more "bang" and "bang" sounds. Kicked it shut.
The overwhelming darkness deepened the fear in his heart, and Shen Yanhan was heartbroken.
