Chapter 47

Rong Lanxue's heart moved, and she asked, "Which Li family?"

Rong Tiancheng said: "Which other Li family can there be? Of course it is the Li family of Li Ji Jinxiu shoe store. Although his family's business is not as big as the Jiang family's, it is worse than being an official for generations and has some power."

Rong Lanxue thought of the pair of shoes she just made, pondered for a moment, and said, "Why don't I go for a walk."

Rong Tiancheng asked in surprise, "Do you recognize the Li family?"

Rong Lanxue kept her promise, she didn't dare to tell him about the deal with Li Yu, she just said: "I have met Madam Li a few times, and she came to see me when I was sick a while ago."

Rong Tiancheng was overjoyed: "I didn't know Mrs. Li liked you so much, so I will make you a trip tomorrow. If I can keep the cooperation with the Li family, I will immediately take your mother and daughter into the mansion."

Take their mother and daughter into the mansion?Is this a compliment, or is it harming them?Rong Lanxue managed to earn a piece of freedom, but she didn't want to go back to the cage again, so she hurriedly said, "I'm used to living in Zhiyuan, so I don't want to move for the time being. As for mother, I can do as she pleases."

Rong Tiancheng didn't want her to care about this, and said: "As long as things can be done, Daddy will depend on you for everything."

Rong Lanxue nodded, said goodbye and left.

Because of Rong Lanxue's initiative to invite Ying, Rong Tiancheng did not blame her for imprisoning Aunt Liu in the woodshed. Instead, he praised her in front of everyone, saying that she is quite capable of managing the family, and that she is worthy of being his eldest son. Daughter, the sixth aunt saw that there was no hope of revenge, she cried and cried, and all the aunts were gloating, and they didn't dare to neglect Rong Lanxue.

Of course, Rong Lanxue didn't know about this. At this moment, she had recovered enough energy and was on her way to Li's Mansion in the east of the city.

Li Yu still saw her in the study, still hugging her new shoes with a sad face, Rong Lanxue was just watching, she was almost moved to tears, and she sighed very much, in this era when men generally have three wives and four concubines, how could they still have three wives? There is such an infatuated man.

While Li Yu was immersed in nostalgia and grief, Rong Lanxue explained the purpose of her visit concisely, and said, "Mr. Li, I shouldn't have said these things, but if our family is defeated, as a daughter of the Rong family, I must It will be affected, I am not afraid of suffering and suffering, but I am only worried that it will affect your few pairs of shoes, after all, one pair a month, a whole year."

Li Yu is worthy of being a businessman. Hearing this, he immediately regained his composure and said, "I don't have any prejudice against your father, but now that the Rong family's business is in decline, what good will I gain by cooperating with him again? The business of the Li family It’s mine, but it’s not all mine, my parents, sisters, and elders of the entire clan are watching, and I can’t do whatever I want.”

"So, it's hard for me to force others." Rong Lanxue was not used to begging for help, her face was red, and she was about to get up and leave.

"Wait." Li Yu raised his hand, lowered his head and stared at the shoes in front of him, and said slowly, "I can no longer cooperate with your father, but I can cooperate with Miss Rong."

"What?" Rong Lanxue was taken aback.

Li Yudao: "I can no longer cooperate with your father because he is no longer worthy of cooperation, but Miss Rong's craftsmanship in making shoes is outstanding. If I choose to cooperate with you, no matter whether it is my parents or the elders of the clan, there will be no Opinion."

After her own value was affirmed, Rong Lanxue said she was not happy, it was a lie, she suppressed the surprise in her heart, and said, "Thank you Mr. Li for your appreciation, I will write back to you after I go back to discuss with my parents."

Li Yu nodded slightly, and Rong Lanxue got up to leave.

At the same time, in the back garden of Li's mansion, Mrs. Li was pinching a pinch of fish food to tease the fat koi eager to try it.Next to him, the little maid was reporting: "Madam, the eldest lady of Rong's mansion has come to see the young master again in the mansion."

"Oh?" Mrs. Li threw all the fish food into the pond and turned around, "Then what was the expression on her face when she left?"

The little maid said: "I'm very happy to see it, with a smile on my face."

Mrs. Li smiled when she heard this, and asked again: "How about the young master?"

The little servant girl said: "The young master is holding on to the shoes, but the servant girl is not as hesitant as before, perhaps because the shoes have finally been made."

Mrs. Li nodded in satisfaction, and said: "You have meritorious service, go down and collect the reward money."

The little maid happily thanked her and went down.

Mrs. Li told the big maid beside her: "Please come back, master, I have something to discuss with him.".

Rong Lanxue returned to the Rong Mansion and told Rong Tiancheng what Li Yu wanted. The ownership of the property will be discussed later, the most important thing is to keep the existing industry.

Everyone in the mansion heard that the cooperation with the Li family could still be continued, and came to congratulate them one after another. You said a lot of good things to each other, Rong Tiancheng was very happy, and immediately ordered someone to ask Mrs. Ye if he would like to return to Rong's mansion.After receiving the letter, Mrs. Ye was so excited that she followed the questioner.

All the aunts laughed secretly, but they had to pretend to be a little respectful on their faces, and they all changed their names to Madam.Rong Lanxue knew that no matter how wise Ye Shi was on weekdays, she would turn into a mess when she met Rong Tian, ​​so she ignored her and went back to Zhiyuan to stay there without mentioning it.

Rong Tiancheng and Ye Shi both thought it was too unseemly for an unmarried girl to live outside alone, so they advised her to move back to live with her family to take care of her.

Rong Lanxue insisted on refusing at first, but later she thought that her family's reputation was more important, and now was not the time to be angry, so she followed her advice and moved to Rong's mansion and lived in Lanyuan.But she and Rong Tiancheng explained that Zhiyuan is still her property, she can go back anytime, and now she is only staying in Lanyuan temporarily.

Rong Tiancheng took advantage of the momentum of her cooperation with the Li family to reopen several shops. It was the time when the spring breeze was in full swing, and he obeyed her words, a lot of accommodating, naturally there was no objection to this.

In the past few days, Rong Lanxue has frequently been in and out of Li's residence, and she has roughly settled on the direction of cooperation with Li Yu. She is responsible for providing shoes, and Li's Jinxiu shoe store helps her open up sales.

She has turned into a supplier, she looks pretty, but with her own hands, how can she make so many shoes?Even if Ye Shi helped her, it was not enough.After many days of thinking, Rong Lanxue resolutely rented a few rooms and transformed them into a shoe-making workshop.In Linjiang County, shoe-making workshops can be seen everywhere, but Rong Lanxue's is different. In her workshop, no female worker needs to complete a pair of shoes independently, but an assembly line operation. For shoe soles, a group of people specialize in making uppers, a group of people specialize in shoe uppers, and a group of people specialize in embroidery.

This kind of arrangement, on the one hand, is not afraid of stealing a teacher to learn skills, and on the other hand, it improves work efficiency. Rong Lanxue is very satisfied with this, and Li Yu is full of praise after seeing it.

While Rong Lanxue was busy with the shoemaking workshop, Rong Tiancheng and Mrs. Ye did a big thing without telling her - they agreed to Li's family's marriage proposal, and arranged for her to marry Li Yu.The reason why this matter was hidden from her was because Li Yu, the other party involved, was also kept in the dark.

Rong Tiancheng and Mrs. Li reached an agreement, and kept it a secret from them until they officially got married.

But in this world, there has never been an impenetrable wall. One evening when Rong Lanxue was returning home, Sister Zhu stopped her on the way and said to her quietly: "Eldest sister, don't be too busy with business. You should also take care of your own life-long events."

Rong Lanxue made a gesture to hit her, and said, "Why, do you expect eldest sister to get married earlier?"

Sister Zhu shook her head again and again, grabbed her arm and said, "Eldest sister, Mr. Li Yuli, who is in business with you, you know that he is sick, and he has been thinking about a Qinglou for years Girl, it's really not a good husband-in-law, if you marry such a person, you won't have a good life."

Rong Lanxue felt something, and was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Sister Zhu said: "Sister, you really don't know? Father and wife have made an engagement for you. This is Mr. Li."

"What?" Rong Lanxue's surprise was so serious that she almost lost her footing, "Already engaged? Why didn't I know? I meet Mr. Li every day, and I don't see anything unusual about him?"

Sister Zhu scratched her head and said, "Then I don't know, I still listen to my aunt whispering about it."

Rong Lanxue understood, and said, "Thank you, Auntie, for me. I will remember this feeling."

Sister Zhu was about to say something later, but Rong Lanxue turned around and strode towards the main room.

At this time, autumn is in full swing, the front door of the main room has been replaced with cotton-padded curtains, Rong Tiancheng and Ye Shi are lying on the couch and gossiping.

"Mother, when all the shops outside of me are closed, we'll re-create the marriage certificate and go to the government to file." Rong Tiancheng promised Ye Shi.

Ye's face was full of sweet smiles: "Master, then you have to hurry up, I can wait, the son in my belly can't wait."

Rong Tiancheng stretched out his hand to caress her lower abdomen, his eyes were full of joy.

Rong Lanxue stood outside the door, looking at Ye Shi who suddenly looked younger by several years, he hesitated for a moment.Zi Feiyu, who knows Yu Zhile, she always complains that she loves the wrong person for Ye Shi's love, but seeing the sincere smile on her face, she feels that maybe this is the happiness she has been pursuing all her life Woolen cloth?

It's just that she is happy, but her happiness is about to be ruined... Rong Lanxue took a deep breath, opened the curtain, strode in, and said, "Father, mother, even if the marriage is the order of the parents, the appointment of the matchmaker , should you tell me? Is it possible that when we get married, you will go to the sedan chair instead of me?"

Ye looked at Rong Tiancheng's face, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Xue'er, why are you talking to your father? How can a big girl talk about whether she is married or not?"

Rong Tiancheng raised his hand to stop Mrs. Ye, and said to Rong Lanxue, "Your mother and I did make a marriage for you. The reason why we didn't tell you was not to hide it on purpose, but because there were so many things that we forgot in a hurry. But since you asked now, let me tell you, you must be satisfied with the young man that father and mother chose for you, he is the young master Li Yu from the Li family in the east of the city. Wouldn't it be great to be a family again?"

Mrs. Ye nodded repeatedly at the side, and said: "Xue'er, I have met Mr. Li before. He is indeed a good-looking man with a good family background. What's more rare is that he is someone you know well. I think that in Linjiang County, There is no one more suitable than him."

Rong Lanxue said: "Mother, we don't care about other things, but Mr. Li's weak body, you have the heart to marry me? Are you not afraid that I will become a widow within a few years of marriage?"

"Mr. Li is not in good health?" Ye Shi obviously didn't know this, and turned pale with shock, and looked at Rong Tiancheng.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Well, what are you cursing Mr. Li for?" Rong Tiancheng scolded Rong Lanxue loudly, "It's true that Mr. Li is weaker, but he is not seriously ill, but it's just a matter of spending more ginseng and bird's nest to raise it. , a family like him still lacks these?"

Ye Shi always believed Rong Tiancheng's words, and besides, she had seen Li Yu before. Although he was thinner and paler, he did not look like he was seriously ill, so she said to Rong Lanxue : "Xue'er, your father is right, are you thinking too seriously?"
