Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 62 Cooperation? !
He went into the room and made tea for Hui Niang, and pushed the snacks on the table for her to taste.

Hui Niang came here this time just to have a look at her.When I was in the car that day, I saw that she had changed a lot, so I wanted to make sure again.After all, when they were in the mansion back then, the two had talked about everything for many years.

Even if the two of them stopped seeing each other, she never took advantage of her momentum to step on herself.Even when she was favored by the old lady and promoted to the second-class position, she didn't give herself any harsh words, she just simply stopped communicating with her.

While drinking the slightly bitter tea, she glanced at the rosy hawthorn sticks on the table.

Taking the root into his mouth, he was surprised for a moment, and then disappeared.

"Sister Hui, after coming out of the mansion, have you thought about your future plans?" Li Kongzhu smiled and refilled her bowl of tea, and the one who had something to say spoke first.

Hui Niang lightly sipped the hawthorn sticks in her mouth, smiled helplessly, and said, "What are your plans? I'm just waiting to get married and have children." She is now eighteen years old, and she can be regarded as an old lady even in the countryside. up.

But thinking about the matchmakers who came here for her money when she went home these two days, she couldn't help but frowned.

Seeing this, Li Kongzhu explained with a smile: "It should be time, it will come naturally. Sister Hui Niang doesn't need to worry too much! I think your marriage should not be far away."

Hui Niang blushed when she heard what she said, and gave her a reproachful look, "After all, she is a married woman, and she no longer has the scruples that a girl should have when she speaks."

"That's true. Otherwise, how could there be such a title as a vicious woman? How many girls are holding back in the boudoir, waiting for a big turnaround when they get married."

Hui Niang covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly at what she said, "Oh, you really have changed a lot! Now that you can say such witty things!"

Li Kongzhu also pursed his lips and smiled, which was a tacit consent.

Hui Niang over there laughed for a while, then returned to seriousness and said, "I don't want to have too high expectations for who to marry, I just hope that we can live in harmony in the future."

Speaking of this, she paused, and said with a wry smile: "But now it seems that most of them come here for my little possessions!"

"Then pick slowly!"

Hui Niang was surprised, and when she looked up at her, she saw that she was smiling so brightly, "What's the rush, a good marriage is never too late. If those people insist on forcing it for you, you can just donate it to the temple and become a nun. At that time, let's see who dares to force you."

Compared to having no money to use, who cares whether you marry or not.

"That's a way!" Hui Niang nodded amusedly, then picked up a hawthorn stick on the plate and asked, "You made it?"

"It's just a living thing!"

Seeing that she didn't care, Hui Niang shook her head, "Don't you fool me, such precious white sugar has so much sprinkled on it, can it be an ordinary living thing?"

"It is indeed a living thing!" Li Kongzhu himself took one and put it in his hand and said, "No matter how expensive it is, there is no way to get it, and the only way to save a living is to reduce the cost!"

Hui Niang's eyes flickered when she heard it, and when she took another one into her mouth, she asked, "But expensive?"

"I received an order from a big family, because the sugar used is a lot more than in the past, and the price is almost half the price!" If it is made of rock sugar, it will be even more expensive.It's a pity that it can only be done with a lot of funds and a source of customers.

"Is it worth this number?" She compared to five.

Li Kongzhu laughed and said: "It's not worth fifty Wen, but it's really a big loss!"

"I said five hundred!" Hui Niang couldn't stop laughing, "Who would eat such cheap food from a big family in the city? It's not even a tael of silver to eat that crystal cake even if the mansion is in charge. Don't eat it!"

Li Kongzhu's eyes flickered, and he said with a wry smile: "Even if such cheap ones are sold cautiously, how dare you go to the capital for a high price? Sister Hui Niang should also know the reason why everyone is innocent and guilty. Bar!"

"No matter how careful you are, there will be a day of discovery!"

It's true, she has no background now, and she sells such expensive things.To put it bluntly, if the family that received the order gave it as a gift, it would be from a rich and noble family who had made good friends.

Then when her Hawthorn name is famous, she will also be targeted by others.If it's an ordinary store, she can still compete for it, but what if it's someone with power?
Destined to be cannon fodder!

"Qi Mansion can be regarded as one of the best families in Fucheng." Hui Niang casually mentioned this.

Li Kongzhu's eyelids twitched when he heard it, and he continued the new tea ceremony for her: "Sister Hui just said it outright! You also know that I am an unwanted slave driven by the Qi family, how dare you have the audacity to ask for it?" That's simply shameless rhythm.

"There is one thing I didn't tell you!" Seeing her asking directly, Hui Niang didn't intend to make a detour.

"what's up?"

"The second young master and the second young lady in the mansion were separated by the family. The family wealth that was divided is in the town of Cangtong thousands of miles away!"

Li Kongzhu was stunned.

In Yuanshen's memory, the bed he crawled on was the second young master's bed.Being arrested and beaten was discovered by the second young lady.The reason why she didn't die was that the eldest young mistress just passed by, and she couldn't bear to save her.

Seeing her face change, Hui Niang said solemnly: "You and I are nothing but servants, and in terms of the struggle between the masters, they are just casual sacrifices!"

Li Kongzhu's heart skipped a beat, what do these words mean, that the original body was used by others?
"I don't know?" Seeing her confused face, Hui Niang kindly reminded her: "Not long after you left, Wenxiu made a mistake and was sold!"

"Wenxiu?" Li Kongzhu murmured.I just felt that my brain was throbbing so badly, I frowned, and began to think seriously.

Seeing this, Hui Niang at the side didn't bother her, but waited slowly for her to figure out the hurdles.

When Li Kongzhu was mentioned by her, a fuzzy face indeed appeared in her mind.It seemed that he was a third-class sweeper in the yard of the young lady whom Yuan Bo had just been promoted to the second class.

At the beginning, Yuanshen didn't think much of her third-class status, but Naihe, that little girl, is used to flattering her.Not long after, he boasted about his original body to the point where he lost his mind.

That is to say, she often whispered in Yuanshen's ears that a poor family wife is not as good as a high family concubine.Said that she had missed that opportunity, she was not pretty enough, and the first and second class in the eldest and youngest wife's room were all beautiful, even if it was their turn, she would not be able to get her turn.

But she is different, she is beautiful.The few servants around the second young lady are not as colorful as hers.Rather than going out to marry an unknown wild man in the mountains in the future, it is better to stay in this noble family and be a wealthy concubine to eat and drink.

If one is lucky enough to have a son and a half daughter in the future, it will be a life of wealth and honor that could not be cultivated in the previous life.

Now that I think about it, the reason why the original body twitched its head and climbed into the bed was completely brainwashed!

"The old lady pays the most attention to the rules of the inner house, how can she allow people to mess around? In addition, the second young master is a concubine, so naturally she just turned a blind eye to this matter!" Seeing her, Hui Niang understood.Then he took up the conversation again.

Li Kongzhu frowned and thought for a moment, looked up at her and said seriously: "That's the thing I was being used by others. Sister Hui Niang also said that the Qi family is one of the best in Fucheng. If you can spare my life, it's already It's a blessing I picked up. If you don't know how to go forward and let the world know, wouldn't you see through the scheme of the young lady? Lose the reputation of the Qi family?"

At that time, she is afraid that it will be difficult to survive!

Hui Niang looked at her for a while, and sighed for a long time: "It really has changed a lot! Now my mind is more flexible!"

Li Kongzhu smiled awkwardly.But she heard her say: "I didn't mean that! The reason why I was able to leave the mansion was because of a moment of luck, I saved the nephew of the young mistress who fell into the water!"

"?"

Seeing her doubts, she sighed again, "My term will expire in February next year, which is more than two months earlier."

When she rescued the young master of the in-law's mansion, the old lady praised her very much and wanted to give her a reward, and it happened that the steward first-class maid in the courtyard was getting married, so she thought about carrying her up.

She didn't want to, and only said that in two months' time, the contract would expire, and the young mistress at the side saw this.So he made a decision and helped persuade the old lady to let her go out of the house in advance.

"After receiving this grace, I have to go back to the mansion often to thank the master for his kindness!"

Li Kongzhu blinked and laughed, "Sister Hui Niang is planning to open a shop?"

"When I left, the old lady and the young lady rewarded me with a lot of money, thinking about earning some side jobs for my dowry. Although I can't stand in the middle of the city, I can still do it in a small ring town."

With her, she often took it around Gaomen's mansion, even if it was sold in Huancheng Town, it wouldn't sell much.But among the maids who are in charge of the big households that Fucheng knows, as long as they take care of it a little, the master knows that it will be a matter of time.

"If it can become big, it will attract people's envy. At that time, I might consider letting the Qi government get involved, although the profit is not much. After all, it is a little wish of my former slave, isn't it?"

Li Kongzhu looked at her for a long time without saying a word.Suddenly, the smile was very clear, "Sister Hui Niang is probably the one who sees the most long-term among us slaves."

The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated!

"Compared to me now, you are probably worse than me!" Hui Niang accepted her compliment, but at the same time, she did not forget to praise her back.At the end, he asked again, "But are you willing to partner?"

"I am willing!"

Li Kongzhu replied with a smile, and then said: "On the surface, I am a partner with you, but secretly, I am only responsible for the supply of goods to you, is it possible?"

In this way, it is also good for her.After all, Shanlihong can only be obtained in winter.After the new year, after the spring turns to snow, there will be no more!
"nature!"

……

After lunch, Li Kongzhu sent Hui Niang away.The two agreed that she would buy a shop in secret first, and then open the shop after her marriage was settled.

Li Diaozhu complied naturally.

When the sound rang, Mai Ya'er and his wife started cooking hawthorn again!
