The next day, Nanny Xu was going back to the village. Nanny Chang took out a book from her armband, sighed and said, "Didn't you say that Mrs. Qiao can still read a few words? There are some recipes for eating in this book." Secret, my sons and daughters-in-law are not enlightened, so it would be useless to give them. You can pass it on to her for me, and it will be my thank you."

Nanny Xu took it, and saw that it read "Miscellaneous Notes on Food and Drinks". After a cursory search, it was all written in plain language, from knife skills to seasoning ingredients, everything was trivial and trivial.Can't help laughing: "I said you are out of tune! Be a nanny in charge by Grandma's side, and see, what are you spending your time on!"

Nanny Chang smiled and said, "You are born to be a hard worker. I don't know how leisurely we are these days. That's it, I'm still idle all day long." The two chatted and laughed, and Nanny Xu put it away. After reading the book, he thanked Mother Chang for Mrs. Qiao.Mother Chang smiled and said: "Why are you thankful? According to the temperament of that little daughter-in-law, she won such a great inheritance from me, so she may have a lot of filial piety in the future."

The weather is getting hotter, the trees are green and the grass is thick, and I don't know when the cicadas have been singing on the top of the tree.Li Wan's life is chaotic, he often stays in the Pearl Realm for countless days, and when he comes out, he always uses his spiritual sense to lead Suyun Biyue, he is really used to it in the Pearl Realm.In order to prevent mistakes, he made a rule for himself. Before leaving the bead world, he must lock his spiritual sense and spiritual sense.

She was resting at noon that day, but when she saw Sister Feng visiting, she was surprised and said, "Where do you have some free time in a day? I came here instead, but it's rare." She asked someone to serve tea for Sister Feng, and Sister Feng saw the translucent thin film served. There was light red tea in the porcelain cup, but no tea leaves. Li Wan smiled and said, "This is Shengmaisan, steamed with ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Schisandra chinensis. It nourishes qi and promotes body fluid. It is most suitable for summer."

Sister Feng sighed and said, "Sure enough, you are comfortable and considerate of everything." Li Wan laughed and said, "It's rare for Second Mistress to praise me. But it's a mistake. I don't need this thing. I've spent the whole day Such a stay, how can I use these. Zhuangzi said, "Silence can heal the disease, and the canthus can rest the old age, rather it can stop the suddenness. Although, if it is a task for the laborer, it is not something that the lost person has never tasted and asked. '. That's the reason."

Sister Feng glanced at her and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let you take the girls to study and do some work, and you and I will also drop a book bag! I didn't come here to listen to your gossip." Li Wan laughed. : "If you have something to ask me, you will naturally say, if there is nothing wrong, there is nothing wrong with listening to me talking about gossip. Idle words are rare."

Sister Feng shook her head and said, "I really can't get along with you. Let me tell you this, a few years ago, the sea trade in the south started to rise, and now the fleet from England has come back. The benefits are enough to buy a few more fleets like this! They are all crazy, anyone with two spare cash in their hands wants to form a fleet. But they don’t understand, how is this thing so easy, where on the sea, there is no It's gone. This is a business, so it's better to find a skilled person than a novice.

Now I look at it, the most familiar person is probably the second master of the Zhang family, who has been in charge of the customs for many years, especially in Guangzhou, where he has deep roots.I just want to ask you, if there is such a way to find a way to invest in shares, even if it is a little bit more, it will do, ten thousand taels of shares will count as [-]%.what do you think? "

Li Wan's eyes were dizzy, and he said casually: "I don't understand the nonsense you said. Next time when Mrs. Zhang's wife sends someone over, I will ask you to bring a letter to ask. Next time, if she is in Beijing, I will invite you two." Let's talk about it when we meet people, okay?" Sister Feng was stunned, looking at her again, and asked cautiously, "Really? That's it?"

Li Wan nodded and said: "Isn't that the case, you're such a rambunctious one, I can't understand what I'm saying. I'm even more of a layman in business, so when you meet, say to yourself, what's the matter?" Is it easy to do?" Sister Feng nodded hesitantly and said: "Okay, you should remember this."

Li Wan nodded, and asked again: "Is this urgent? I don't know when I will see you again." Sister Feng shook her head and said, "What's the rush? The fleet has to wait for the season. The ones coming in and out of the wind are not catching a cart, and they missed one or two trips." Li Wan laughed and said, "That's good."

Sister Feng was still waiting to speak, when Ping'er came in and said something in a low voice, Sister Feng sighed and got up, Li Wan said with a smile, "You work so hard, you can only speak a few words." Sister Feng smiled and said, "Then I will entrust this matter to you." Li Wan said, "I know it well, don't worry." Then Sister Feng took Ping'er away.

Walking all the way back to her small courtyard, Sister Feng asked, "What did you just say? What happened to the profit money?" Ping'er said: "Just now, Wang'er's family went back and forth, and it was said that the money should have been recovered in two days. Then The family needs it urgently now, and wants to extend it for another installment, and the interest of the extended installment will be increased by [-]%, if grandma agrees, I will bring the additional [-]% interest in the next afternoon."

Sister Feng sneered: "I asked him and his wife to take back the capital with interest. I am useful, but there is another moth. I can't get the capital back. Why do you want the [-]% interest?" After hearing this, Ping'er said: "Then I'll tell her to go ahead and tell her not to delay, and quickly figure it out in two days and bring it in."

Sister Feng shook her head and said, "Let him go. It's just that the interest money doesn't need to be brought first. Isn't that family in a hurry to use the money? I can give them the interest money." ?”

Sister Feng said: "The matter of entrusting people is so fast, and there is no delay in this period. I just told Wang'er's family that next time I said that if I want it, I can't beat it at all. It must be done." Bring them to me in full, and if I accidentally delay grandma's great use, his family will wait to eat themselves." Ping'er hurriedly agreed and went out to send a message.

As soon as she left, Jia Lian came back later. Seeing Sister Feng, she smiled and said, "Why haven't you rested for a while?" Mrs. Xing?" Jia Lian said, "I can't talk to you properly." Then Sister Feng laughed and said, "Hey, our second master wants to talk to me today. Let me hear some good words."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "You have a dog's face. It will change after a while." He leaned over and sat down beside Sister Feng, and said lazily, "It's not the trouble of the damn fleet. Now everyone seems to have heard of it." The smelly old cat is scratching everywhere." Sister Feng said nothing, Jia Lian raised her body slightly, and whispered to Sister Feng, "I have a way to get rich here, do you want to hear it?" Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's a trick, it can make a fortune. Can you still sit here?"

Jia Lian said: "Because big money can't come in a hurry, why can't I sit still. Just now I had a drink with the second son of the Niu family. Now they have found a backer and a fleet. They said that if I want to, I will take me too." Buy a stock." Sister Feng said: "You tell me what to do, you should tell the masters and wives. I can't afford money here." Jia Lian said: "Hey! What are you talking about! Our house How can I have that spare money, besides, if I say this, I will lose money and eat me alive."

Sister Feng said: "Then you tell me that you are not afraid of losing money and I will eat you too?" Jia Lian laughed and said, "Second Mistress, who are you? Now everyone says that you are a hero among women and a hero among women! Only the Second Mistress has the courage and vision to do things like this! There is a saying, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, isn't that the truth?"

Seeing Jia Lian playing tricks, Sister Feng said with a smile, "you'd better live in peace! In such a big business, if the money is too little, it won't make a fuss, and if you take it out, it will be a joke; if you have more money, it's easy to say, but it's just the two of us." Go get such a large amount of money. Although the dowry is rich, it is still dead, and you can still use the dowry calligraphy and painting antiques to invest in shares? You can't laugh your head off."

Jia Lian sighed and said, "Well, it can be seen that money makes money, and this great opportunity to make a fortune just slipped away." Then he raised his head and said, "Or, let's get some boxes of things and go out to get some living money." Sister Feng sneered. : "The pawn shop is a good man? It's up to you to ask for the price! According to what we did before, we can deposit 1 taels of silver for as many things as we got! We can't make up two or 3000 taels and show them."

Jia Lian sighed again, pondered for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Now...there is no active money in the account?" Sister Feng took a breath and said, "You really let the money fool you! How could you think of it?" Such an idea! Just think about it, the sale of the fleet takes a year or two every time. This is a smooth time. How can you get tens of thousands of taels of silver out of the account for a year or two? ? If you have this ability, you don’t need to do business anymore, you can just get it from the account! Besides, there is no way to make a stable profit in this business. If we lose money and lose money, what should we use to fill the account?!” Jia Lian said Only then did I realize that the road was blocked, so I couldn't help sighing again and again.

Ping'er came back after delivering the message, saw Jia Lian was in the room, and was about to leave, but Jia Lian saw her and asked her casually, "But it's strange, your grandma is in the room, but you are not in the room to serve. Where did you go?" Ping'er said, "I'm not the second master."

Jia Lian hit a soft nail and said embarrassingly, "You still don't care about you girl, even the master dares to scold you." Sister Feng laughed and said, "Come on, you didn't provoke her first, so she scolded you!" Asked again Ping'er, "What's going on outside?"

Ping'er replied: "Grandma just sent someone to bring some medicinal materials, which are the Shengmaisan that grandma just drank. I took it and sent some reward money." Sister Feng nodded, and Jia Lian said, "Why do you return it at noon?" Went to look for sister-in-law? Don't you always look down on people?" Sister Feng said: "There are too many people I don't like, how can I not serve?"

Jia Lian hurriedly shut up and shook her head, only then did Sister Feng laugh again: "I don't like her temper! What's the difference with a living dead! I wander around the three-acre land all day long, and if I talk about it, I don't like Zhang. The second wife of the family has friendship and relatives of He Sheng Dao, so why doesn't she seem to be a bit lively. If I have such a way, I have to do a few things for others to see."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "You are judging others by yourself. Of course you are very troubled. I am still alive! What can I do with my status as a sister-in-law? Besides, you have forgotten our discussion just now? He Shengdao and Zhang's family are both connected to business, even if they want to think about it, they must have spare money. The few silver coins that this sister-in-law took are all paid to Lan'er, even if they have the heart, they don't have the strength."

Sister Feng said: "What kind of business is a one-shot job? Don't you have to do it a little bit. She puts a little effort into it, and there will always be 800 taels of silver a year. It's better to see other people's faces in the future." Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's strange, even though you keep saying that you don't like sister-in-law, you are thinking of her inside and out, and you are also a bit of a twist." Sister Feng said: "I just don't like soft people and lazy people, but she still doesn't like these two things." Occupied."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "You are really crazy. My sister-in-law is going to get tough. The first one will be the one who poked her, and the second one will be the one who is in charge of the government affairs. You are looking forward to it." Sister Feng Hum said: "I hope she will be tougher. Is it possible that I am still afraid of her?" Jia Lian laughed and said, "Not afraid, not afraid, who can our Second Mistress Lian be afraid of!"

While talking, Sister Feng asked Ping'er to take the medicinal materials Li Wan brought to see, but she saw it was a smooth bamboo box with three rows of kraft paper bags inside. She took one out and opened it. The son said: "Tomorrow, I will boil a bag every day to drink. I just drank it from my sister-in-law, and I feel that it is not as hot as usual."

Ping'er quickly agreed, and said: "The house of the eldest grandma is cooler than the other places, even if the wife's room is full of ice basins, it is not so comfortable." Sister Feng said: "The wife is the most frugal, and she is reluctant The cold air, I like to close the windows and lower the curtains when I put the ice basin, it’s not so comfortable if there is no ventilation. Look at the sister-in-law, the windows are all open, and the ice basin is placed on the air vent, and the cool wind blows in. Transparent and cool."

Ping'er said: "Also, their yard is quieter than ours. It's quieter, and the less people there are, the cooler it will be." Jia Lian yawned bored, got up and said, "Okay, I can hear it." , I’m the co-author, I made you unclean and uncomfortable, right? Well, I’m leaving now, don’t ask me if you want to have fun at night.” After being spat on, she went out again with a smile on her face.

Besides, Jia Lian came out of the yard and was thinking that there was no place to play to kill time, when a young servant came to say that the master has an invitation.For a moment, he lost all his pleasant thoughts, and tremblingly went to Jia Amnesty.But it turned out that some personal friends of Jia Amnesty who played antiques came to visit, and they were listening to a lively opera together, asking Jia Lian to go and meet people.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, after all, he was also a child of an aristocratic family, wearing a sapphire blue straight gown tied with a jade-colored silk sash, which at first glance seemed a bit like a jade tree facing the wind.Talking and laughing, everyone naturally praised him. Jia She had a good-looking face, but he also put away the trick of fluffing his beard and staring.Everyone was drinking, and the troopers put on makeup to persuade them to drink, and they were even drunk from laughing for a while. Jia Lian even flirted with some old father's pets under Jia She's nose, and it was also true.

Mrs. Xing couldn't help spitting when she heard the noise behind her, and made people close the rear window.A woman next to her said: "Madam, those aunts are still gathering in the flower hall. There are all foreigners in the room. It's not a bad thing if they bump into each other." Mrs. Xing sneered: "Don't worry about them! It's better to be ashamed, It’s only satisfying to sell the whole thing far away!” When everyone heard this, they closed the windows and drew down the curtains.

Mrs. Xing said: "It's getting more stuffy like this, put two more ice basins!" A daughter-in-law at the other end replied: "Madam, today because of the master's banquet later, the ice cubes are going to go. We only have an early morning in the house." Put the two on, if you want any more, you have to wait for the next one." Mrs. Xing said angrily: "If it's not enough, why don't you send someone to the mansion to ask for it?! You can't even use a piece of ice, which family does this belong to? rule!"

Everyone was silent, Mrs. Xing sat angrily for a while, and then said: "Forget it, let's open the window. I'm so bored, it almost makes me sick." He leaned forward and said, "Ma'am, could it be that the road was hot when I went to serve breakfast today? Would you like some soup to dispel the heat?"

Mrs. Xing then said: "That's right! I was a bit rushed in the morning, and I didn't bother to argue with them because there was no ice in the car. The sun was shining all the way, and I felt a little stuffy in my chest when I got there." Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly said "Mrs. Weidao didn't use a few sips of breakfast. Even though I don't have much appetite today, I can't eat so little! Why don't you invite a doctor to have a look?" Mrs. Xing shook her head and said, "What's the use of those doctors? ?! Prescribe some medicine that can’t kill people, and take it bitterly for a few days, it’s not good for yourself.”

The servant girl at the side said: "Last time, Grandma sent some special medicines for the summer. My wife has a look, maybe it is suitable for use." Madam Xing remembered this, and hurriedly asked Wang Shanbao's family to go to her room to get them. Come.Opening the box to look, a literate girl pointed to a porcelain box and said, "It should be this, Qingshu Tongqiao Pill, I just heard that the old lady also had some heat a few days ago, this is the one that will make you feel better if you eat it." Alright, it’s been passed on amazingly." Madam Xing said, "This is not a sugar ball, it's medicine! You're just so soft-spoken that you can just point at this and eat that." She told someone to take it to the pharmacy at home. Please take a look at it personally.

After a while, Wang Shanbao's family came back with two daughters-in-law, and they replied: "The pharmacist Ling Geer said that if my wife feels chest tightness in summer, you can eat this ball, just contain ten pills, one stick Time will pay off." The girl who spoke at the beginning saw that Wang Shanbao's family was talking about the one she pointed out earlier, and was about to argue, when the plain-looking girl next to her pressed her hand, gave her a wink and called her Shut up.

After Madam Xing heard this, she moaned and said that the people in the pharmacy may not have any real skills, and at the same time asked someone to pour water, and counted ten of the pills and put them in her mouth.The pill was very small, but when it was in the mouth, a burst of cool medicinal air rushed up, and immediately felt that the breathing was much smoother.The pills slowly melted and had a bitter and spicy taste. Mrs. Xing quickly gestured for water, swallowed it in one gulp, and said, "It's really not for people to eat. It's bitter and spicy, and it's not enough to suffer."

The family member of Wang Shanbao said, "Madam, do you feel better? The medicines of the grandma in the mansion, everyone agrees that it is specially sent by He Shengdao to the grandma, and they can't buy it outside. , if we want to do it ourselves, no one else can do it." Mrs. Xing pouted and said: "You also know that she is the grandma of the house, so can you send us something really good? She also has her own mother-in-law Be filial! You should be like our family, with your elbows turned out hard, your mother-in-law is thrown behind your head!"

Mrs. Xia couldn't get in the conversation, finally she waited for this, and hurriedly said: "That's the wife's way of saying, I don't think so in my heart, she is my real aunt, but I don't know whether this is the Jia family or the Wang family. Got it." Mrs. Xing snorted coldly after hearing this: "I don't know, let her go back to the Wang's house if I don't know, and I will figure it out!" After saying that, she put the medicine box back into the box and locked it herself After that, I asked Wang Shanbao's family to take it away and put it away.
