six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 262

After moving her family to Changping County, Su Liu lived a petty bourgeois life as in modern times, living in her own small house, and even hung a plaque for Su Mansion, and occasionally went to Cao Mansion for a short stay to feel the warmth of the family, Life is fun.

Since Chen married Cao Kui, she has become a good wife and mother. She has a gentle temperament, Cao Kui loves her behind her, and Cao Mingzhu respects her. Apart from a small number of people in Cao's mansion, there are also many servants. Some people also respected and obeyed her, so when they learned from Cao Mingzhu to manage Cao's house, they went smoothly, and slowly took over the entire housekeeping power.

As Cao Mingzhu's wedding date is getting closer, the affairs in the inner courtyard of the Cao Mansion are becoming more and more complicated. Although Su Liu occasionally helps, the Chen family is also very busy every day. The life is more fulfilling than before, but it is also strange. Although busy and fulfilling, the whole person's breath is better, and his handling of things is smoother and more secure.

Cao Kui and the Chen family were married, and the business in this mansion was not hidden from Su Liu, and it was even more intentional for Su Liu to help manage it, but Su Liu refused.

Cao Kui's intentions were good and trusting, but Su Liu didn't think so. Chen's marriage to Cao Kui was actually a personal matter of Chen's. She respected Cao Kui as her father out of courtesy, but she never tried to Because of the meaning of Cao's property, she refused because she was busy with her personal business. Of course, she would give Cao Kui advice on some inappropriate things, and this move also made Cao Kui trust her more.

Su Liu is also really busy, not to mention that she has towns in Baise Town and the county, as well as the newly opened chili sauce workshop, donkey-hide gelatin workshop, and Ning Guang gave her. It's not a small matter.

It was the hot summer of June, and according to Su Liu's intention, she was going to go to Beijing to inspect the property, but because Cao Mingzhu's wedding was coming soon, Chen and the others were afraid that she would not be able to make it in time, so they postponed it, and only wrote to Pingjing and the others to let her go. keep it.

The business of the donkey-hide gelatin workshop has been on the right track. In just over a year, the brand of donkey-hide gelatin with the century-old brand has become well-known, and the franchised store has opened ten branches at a rapid pace. It is necessary to prepare eight to ten branches, focusing on opening in the northeast.

As the business grew bigger, the workshop also expanded. Song Jilin and Wei Zhenxiang, who were originally in charge, were both very pertinent and mellow in handling affairs. Su Liu, who was the largest shareholder, was naturally satisfied. To appease the two, he even divided a hundred One-fifth of the dry stock is given to the two, in exchange for the two to work harder and be more loyal to the workshop.

The donkey-hide gelatin business has slowly matured, but now Su Liu is focusing on chili sauce. The price of this sauce is actually not impressive, but Su Liu never underestimates every business. If a bottle of chili sauce sells for tens of pennies, how about ten bottles?What about a hundred bottles?

When this kind of sauce is integrated into people's lives, just like soy sauce, the kind of profit can't be calculated, dripping into a river, and the decimals are long, that's how it is obtained.

On this day, after Su Liu summoned the stewards of the chili sauce workshop to discuss how to open the northern market, someone came from Cao's mansion. The person who came was Qiu Ju, the big maid next to Mrs. Chen, who said that Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Cao were both reading, Come ask the girl to talk.

Su Liu stroked her forehead, and asked Xueluo beside her, "When was the last time I went there?"

While arranging the account books on the table, Xueluo smiled and said, "Girl, it's the tenth day of the lunar new year, and today is twenty."

"That's ten days." Su Liu rubbed the tip of her eyebrows, and asked again: "When did the second girl go to Qingzhou?"

"If you go back to the girl, it's the eighth day of the eighth day."

Su Liu sighed, and showed a wry smile. I really don't know whether this makes Su Xiao's business a good thing or a bad thing. Now she has got the knack of making a lot of rouge and gouache, and even opened a makeup shop with Song Ying , Now I went to Qingzhou to take care of her shop, but she turned out to be good, and she didn't want to come back once she went there. Chen couldn't catch anyone, so she had to catch her.

"Clean up, let's go to Cao's mansion, by the way, put the two boxes of top-quality donkey-hide tape that I took back earlier." Su Liu stood up and ordered.

"Yes, girl."

After entering the inner courtyard of the Cao Mansion, she saw Cao Mingzhu waiting at the Moon Gate with Chen Shi. Before she got close, Su Liu felt a wave of resentment rushing towards her face.

"Mother, sister." Su Liu quickly stepped forward and knelt towards the two of them.

"You little heartless, you still know how to come back?" Cao Mingzhu came over and gently twisted her arm.

Su Liu gritted her teeth in pain, and said with a smile: "Aren't you busy?"

"Why did you lose weight again? How did Xueluo and the others serve her?" Mrs. Chen looked her up and down, and looked at Xueluo who was following Su Liu with some reproach.

Xueluo was in a hurry to kneel down to apologize, but Su Liu stopped her, and then went to hold Chen's hand and coquettishly said: "Mother, don't do their business, they take care of you very well, even if the weather is hot, It doesn't taste very good."

"You, it's not that there is no shortage of food and drink for you at home. Why are you running out one by one, can you make enough money? You are like this, and now even Su Xiaona girl is following suit. , and now she hasn’t come home for ten and a half months, I think she is getting more and more wild.” Chen said with a resentful expression, “Brother Ye, I won’t talk about him, this is about to end, and it’s okay to work hard in the academy. What, but it’s not far away, so there’s always time for a meal, right? No one came here, not even my mother.”

Su Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Chen married Cao Kui, why did she get angry instead?
She looked at Cao Mingzhu for help, Cao Mingzhu showed a look that deserves you, but she didn't look at her, she smiled and comforted Chen Shi and said: "Mother, Mingzhu is with you, you say that, Mingzhu is sad gone."

"So you're a good boy, they, hmph!" Mrs. Chen gave Su Liu a sidelong glance.

Su Liu smiled obsequiously and said, "Didn't I come this time? Mother, there is food. I just finished interviewing the steward of the workshop, and I'm hungry."

Chen said she deserved it, after all, she couldn't bear to see her daughter hungry, and asked the two to talk first, while she went to the kitchen to tell her about cooking.

"Why is my mother's temper so good?" Su Liu asked, holding Cao Mingzhu's hand.

"It's not that my dad got used to it, and so do you. It's no wonder she's angry because she hasn't come home for a long time." Cao Mingzhu twisted her face and said, "Even I'm angry, knowing that I don't have many days at home, and you don't come to spend more time with me."

"You also know that I have a lot of things to do over there. If it weren't for you getting married, I'm afraid I'm still on my way to Shangjing." Su Liu smiled wryly.

Cao Mingzhu snorted and pretended to be angry, Su Liu could not help coaxing a few good sisters before and after, and came to her room, seeing a bright red wedding dress hanging on the hanger, she couldn't help but exclaim Aloud: "Is this all embroidered?"

It is a custom for women to embroider their own wedding dresses when they get married, especially in wealthy families.Of course, there are some exceptions. If you really don't know how to embroider, you can let the embroiderer and maid at home embroider, and you can make up the last few stitches yourself.

But Su Liu knew that Cao Mingzhu's wedding dress was embroidered by herself. On the red brocade, big peonies and auspicious clouds were embroidered with gold and silver threads. The gold border is hooked, the skirt is long and dragged on the ground, and the big peonies are lifelike, and the end is noble and generous.

Cao Mingzhu blushed slightly, and said shyly: "This has just been completed, and it needs to be revised."

Su Liu touched the smooth brocade and praised, "It's really beautiful."

"In the future yours will be even more beautiful." Cao Mingzhu said angrily.

Su Liu laughed at herself: "Come on, I can't embroider such delicate things with my hand embroidery."

"Don't worry, on the day you get married, someone will take care of it for you." Cao Mingzhu said with a smile.

Su Liu glared at her, the two came to the table and sat down, Su Liu said again: "It's almost July now, should the betrothal gift be given?"

Cao Mingzhu blushed and nodded, and said, "It's said that I'm here for the first day of July."

"After I've been busy for a while, I'll be free to help, so you can just wait and be your bride with peace of mind."

Cao Mingzhu pinched her resolutely, and said, "Didn't Ning Guang send you a letter?"

Mentioning this, Su Liu's smile faded a little, and he frowned and said, "I haven't received a letter for more than a month. Maybe the war over there is also tense?"

Although Ning Guang didn't write a letter, Su Liu was always paying attention to the war, and her mood fluctuated with the outcome of the war. If the situation didn't allow it, she really wanted to go to the border to find her husband.

Cao Mingzhu seemed to see through her thoughts, and said: "Don't be stupid, you secretly ran to Mobei, where the war was raging, but the chaos was tight. Besides, didn't you say that you also recovered a few cities? ?Now there are fewer refugees in the county, maybe he will drive those enemy troops out of the Central Plains soon, and the squadron will return to the court."

Su Liu showed a wry smile, and said: "I hope." After a pause, she said: "It's a pity, he won't be back in time to drink the wedding wine with you and Third Brother Song."

"The days are still long, and we are sisters, so we are afraid that we will not have this opportunity in the future?" Cao Mingzhu said angrily.

Su Liu smiled, this time the girl came to report that Song Fei was here, Cao Mingzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and when she met Su Liu's teasing eyes, she couldn't help but blushed with embarrassment.

"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, go quickly, I'll stay here for a while." Su Liu smiled and pushed her.

Cao Mingzhu was so ashamed that she couldn't bear to see her lover, and forced a few irony words in disbelief, half pushed her out of the room, and walked quickly to the flower hall.

Seeing her brisk walk, Su Liu couldn't help showing envy in her eyes, thinking of how she was fighting the enemy in that corner, and whether she was injured or not, felt a little aggrieved and bitter in her heart.

If you don't love lovesickness in your life, you will love it, and you will suffer lovesickness, probably because of your current mood!
Su Liucai was about to turn around for a while, but seeing Xueluo running over in a hurry, she couldn't help frowning.

"Girl, it's not good, something happened in Shangjing." Xueluo raised the letter in her hand and said anxiously.

Yan thinks the transition is the most annoying thing!
