Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 370
He can directly tell the story of the mighty general's house and his wife. It can be seen that this young master came well prepared and was sure that she was the personal maid of the mighty general's wife. Zhao Jinxiu understood what he was saying at this moment, such as "you got the wrong person" It’s all meaningless, so what’s the point of admitting it?There are not just one or two maids and servants released from the General's Mansion.

Uh, wait, what did he just say?Can the general's wife be concerned?What does this mean?Has he found his wife, or has she returned to Beijing?No, it's impossible!If Madam really comes back, she will secretly send someone to look for her and bring out her familiar tokens, which will never be like this.As for the fact that there is no news about Madam after 20 years, and whether she is still alive, she has never doubted it. There is no reason, she just believes that Madam is still alive.

So, this person said this deliberately to test her?Want to find out Madam's whereabouts from her?Humph, she doesn’t know it yet.

In fact, she really misunderstood. Fortunately, Zhiruo's next words quickly cleared up her doubts: "It doesn't matter who it is, I was just entrusted by a deceased elder to do something for the descendants of General Zhao. Zhao I don’t know whether the general’s descendants are alive or dead, but I know that you are a close confidant of Mrs. Zhao. If I can help you, it will be regarded as doing something for the descendants of General Zhao, right? Besides, cooperation in opening a restaurant is mutually beneficial. It's a good thing, but it's not like I'm helping you in vain. Why wouldn't I do it?
Of course, if you are not trustworthy or do not have the abilities I need, I really don’t need to ask you to cooperate. I might as well give you some money. Whether you are willing to stay here or move to another place, I will do it. I have helped you and fulfilled the wishes of my ancestors.The method that can be solved directly with money has always been the instinctive choice of people, especially a businessman like me.

Having said so much, Mrs. Zhao, do you understand why I asked you to cooperate?You can rest assured, if you really don’t want to, I won’t force you.Helping you is a favor, cooperation is business, one code equals the other.Since cooperation requires both parties to be willing and able to trust each other.

However, before making a decision, Mrs. Zhao might as well sit down and drink a cup of tea and think about it carefully, is your current life situation what you want?Can you solve it?How long can you endure it?You yourself may be able to endure the grievance, but what about your little grandson?Don't expect that scoundrels will give up as time goes by. Once they are scoundrels, they will only become more and more scoundrels. Especially if some scoundrels are still incompetent, they will regard you as the only hope to change their current situation, and their methods will only become more and more despicable. , and each generation becomes more rogue and despicable than the other. "

Zhao Jinxiu sighed, this young master was really straightforward in his words.And this person seems to have a special characteristic. Either he doesn't speak, or he says everything in detail. It seems that what you are thinking, asking, and hesitating, he knows clearly and reveals it all in one breath. It's so clear that people don't know what else to say. It's true that you just need to think clearly and make a decision.

By the same token, now that everything has been said thoroughly, Zhao Jinxiu believes that if she shakes her head and says no, this young master will definitely not talk about cooperation again. This is a person who makes a decisive decision and does not like bargaining and procrastination. people.

Zhao Jinxiu really sat down to drink tea, but what she drank was the honeysuckle tea with hot water that she had brewed earlier. Zhiruo ignored her and only concentrated on tasting the Mingqian Longjing tea in front of her.

In the white porcelain cup, the soup is green and bright, and the young leaves are like a bird's tongue, tall and pointed.Gently shake the cup, and the faint fragrance overflows, just like the vibrant spring in the thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River.Take a leisurely sip, and after a slight hint of sweetness and bitterness, it will be sweet and refreshing on the tip of your tongue, making you endless aftertaste.

Zhiruo's leisurely attitude made Zhao Jinxiu feel a little more at ease. She was born as a maid, but she worked as a maid in the mighty general's mansion since she was a child. Later, she worked for Madam from the third-class maid to the most trusted first-class lady. The maid has only increased her knowledge and learned many attitudes and methods towards people and things.

Therefore, she would definitely not be able to play tricks on her when dealing with these wealthy people, but based on an intuition, she inexplicably believed that this young man had no ill intentions towards her.Especially his answer, which was to be entrusted by her ancestors to help General Zhao's descendants, she accepted.General Zhao's fame and prestige at that time was no less than that of General Yin Zhao later. Even though villains are everywhere, there are still many colleagues in the army and the court who respect and admire them for their way of defending the country. The hero of the people.

To put it bluntly, if the other party really had evil intentions, with the skills of the two maids just now, it would be easy for someone to kidnap her without anyone noticing, or threaten her with her daughter and grandson. It's okay, there's no need to bother with any cooperation.

In short, she can't hide what she has to. As long as she doesn't let it slip, no one in the world will know what's in her except Madam, not even her daughter.

"Sir," Zhao Jinxiu hesitated for a while and then asked, "Can I know who the ancestor you entrusted to me is?" Even though she was just a maid in the inner courtyard, because she was trusted by her wife, she also knew many of her fellow generals and generals. People who interacted with the General's Mansion heard a lot about the court affairs.Even because she was worried about missing her, she had tried her best to inquire about and understand the situation in the imperial court and the capital in the past 20 years. She opened a restaurant mainly for this purpose, and also to please the county magistrate's wife.Therefore, she knew about the deposed crown prince; she knew that Concubine Qi’s son saved the emperor from the tiger’s mouth and became the crown prince, and Concubine Qi also became Concubine Qi; she also knew that General Yin Zhao died on suspicion of treason, but so far she has not been convicted of treason. .

"No," Zhiruo refused unceremoniously but calmly, "Firstly, my ancestors cared about the friendship with General Zhao, but didn't want to make it public, so you don't need to know; secondly, you came from Mrs. Zhao's side, so you should know, Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, and it might even bring you danger. We are just businessmen, there is no need to know too much."

Although she was rejected, Zhao Jinxiu felt more at ease.Yes, since they are both businessmen, they can only talk about the restaurant cooperation relationship, and there is no need to know anything else.

Naturally, there are conditions for discussing business. Zhao Jinxiu said warmly: "First, our grandparents and grandchildren are not slaves; second, I need to know your so-called cooperation method. We have no money to invest in the restaurant, so in fact, we can only cook for you. That's all, and our mother and daughter still have a child to take care of. Third, if you are dissatisfied with me, I can accept to stop cooperation, but I hope to get some compensation, because our family is old, weak, women and children, and it will be very difficult to suddenly lose our livelihood. , especially in places where we are unfamiliar and have no industry.”

There is a Wei family restaurant in Liuping, and most people would not open a high-end restaurant here to compete with the Wei family. Firstly, the strength and reputation of the Wei family are there, and there is also an imperial plaque. Going in to dine is also a status symbol; secondly, the Wei family has its strength and reputation. The Wei family has had people working in the palace for generations, and even the local government will give the Wei family face. Most businessmen are not willing to conflict with the Wei family for the territory of just one county.

Zhao Jinxiu intuitively felt that if the wealthy young man in front of him wanted to open a restaurant, it must be a high-end restaurant, so it should not be opened in Liuping.She didn't mind leaving Liu Ping, but she had to consider the lives of her grandparents and the situations they might encounter if they went elsewhere.For example, in Liuping, they have their own houses and shops. Even if business is not good now, no matter how difficult it is, at least they have a home and a familiar environment.But after going to other places, if something changes, it will be even more difficult. There is no man in the family...

And can her cooking skills really afford a big restaurant?She was not so confident, even though the young master just said that they were satisfied with what they had eaten at the restaurant.

Zhiruo nodded and answered in the order of Zhao Jinxiu's questions: "First, we are a cooperative relationship, not master and servant. Naturally, I will not ask you to become slaves. I have no shortage of slaves;

Second, you don’t need to invest money, just invest in cooking skills.In our restaurant, you are responsible for all the kitchen affairs and the training of chefs, because we certainly do not just open a restaurant, and you alone are not enough.Of course, after you adapt and are able to take on the management of the restaurant, you can also do more. It is okay to leave the restaurant to you.The money you earn in a restaurant depends on your location, and will only be higher than the same location in other restaurants.In addition, whether you just manage the kitchen or the entire restaurant, you will get a share of the restaurant.

Third, if the cooperation you mentioned really ends, you will still own the restaurant and will not be in the embarrassing situation you are worried about.Moreover, by that time, wherever you want to live, or return to Liuping, I will have someone help you settle. "

Fourth, we will include the above mentioned in the terms of the cooperation contract.Of course, because I will give you some recipes for new dishes on a regular basis, there are also restrictions on you. When you arrive in the south, the general manager in charge of all our businesses will explain it to you in detail.

Five, you don’t have to worry about not being familiar with the place. You are both my collaborator and the person I am entrusted by my ancestors to take care of.Your family will live in our house, and the housekeeper will arrange food, accommodation, and food. If your daughter wants to learn cooking from you or work in a restaurant, you can choose a mother-in-law, maid, or something to help you take care of your baby.In short, as long as you have no objections, you can treat Qi Mansion as your own home. "

After a moment of astonishment, Zhao Jinxiu was so moved that her eyes were red. This young master did not seem to be a person who could lie, so she believed that what he said was true.As he said, on the one hand, he wanted to find someone who was good at cooking and trustworthy to cooperate. On the other hand, he wanted to help their family.With such conditions, she was willing to sign a living deed of sale.

The young master can trust her and give her new recipes. What reason does she have to not believe that the young master will release them from slavery when the time comes.She knew very well how difficult it was for orphans and widowed mothers, especially two-generation widowed mothers like them, to raise a one-year-old child. Now that Qi Mansion was taking care of them, they were simply noble people sent by God to rescue them.Well, it turns out that the young master’s surname is Qi.His surname is Qi, and he wears a golden mask?Zhao Jinxiu suddenly remembered Qi Mubai and his Nichangju that some guests had talked about before.No wonder we are talking about going to the south. Didn’t the Qi family start up in Nanhai?
Having guessed the identity of the young master, Zhao Jinxiu no longer had any worries or hesitations. What is the identity of the Qi family?What can she do to make the Qi family plot against her?Nishangju is expanding like mushrooms after a spring rain, and they design ready-made clothes that others cannot think of.The restaurant hasn't even opened yet, and there are many new dishes on hand, which must be unprecedented.She had heard some of the history of Huang Jinqi. No wonder Master Qi was so extraordinary that even his maidservants were not ordinary people.

As for why Mr. Qi's ancestors wanted to take care of and help General Zhao's descendants, Zhao Jinxiu was very astute and thought of the late Emperor Zen Heart Master.After Master Zenxin became a monk, he traveled around and made many good friends. He also had a distinguished status, so it was not surprising that he knew Mr. Qi's elders.

If Master Zenxin is involved, the wife and... and the eldest young master will be involved. Isn’t it true that the more you know, the more dangerous it will be?Even if Mr. Qi is willing to talk to her about that ancestor, she doesn't want to. It's better to keep her mouth shut and not know anything.

Zhiruo would never have thought that Zhao Jinxiu would have imagined such a thing on her own... it was so whimsical. However, Zhao Jinxiu agreed, and she had achieved the purpose of her trip.

To find a suitable restaurant manager so smoothly, and to carry secrets that might be related to his father's case, Zhiruo felt that it was God's will that he came to Liuping on a whim.Well, I have to thank the Zen master who has already become an immortal!
What Zhiruo didn't expect at this time was that everything, including the death of her parents, was traced back to the source and was caused by a word from Master Zen Xin.At that time, she would not thank the "old monk", but when she thought of her emotions today, she curled her lips and said: "What is there to be grateful for? If the old monk really enlightened me that time, He's just lending my hand to clean up his mess."

Of course, this is all a thing for later. Right now, Zhiruo is taking the time to discuss the follow-up arrangements with Zhao Jinxiu. The three of them cannot go with her, can they?

"Sir, several people have taken a fancy to my small courtyard with a shop. We only need three days to deal with these chores and pack some clothes before setting off."

Zhiruo nodded: "I still have to walk around, and I will definitely arrive in Nanhai later than you. But don't worry, I will write a letter for you later. In three days, you hire a carriage to go to Jinlin, Fucheng, and arrive at The Jinlin Branch of Shunfeng Escort Agency goes to Escort Xu and gives him the letter. Escort Xu will arrange for someone to escort your family to the South China Sea. Our Nishangju is a big client of Shunfeng Escort Agency, and I also have a relationship with their chief escort, so You're welcome, if you have any requests, just ask Captain Xu, don't rush on the way, take good care of little Bao'er."

Zhao Jinxiu nodded in agreement, because she knew the identity of "Mr. Qi" and he had arranged it so thoughtfully. Why should she be worried?Just take the time to take care of your yard and prepare your luggage.
