Chapter 22 Making a Living (2)
As Yuxi expected, Yunqing disagreed with Yuxi's opening of a restaurant. It's not that he is a big man who wants to keep Yuxi from showing her face, but that opening a restaurant will be cumbersome. He is afraid that Yuxi will be tired: "You don't have to worry about supporting the family, I can afford it." Although the salary is not much, the spoils he gets every year Quite a lot, with what he earns, it is enough to support his wife and children.
Yuxi said softly: "I won't be tired, I'll just ask about it on weekdays, the specific matters must be left to Han Ji and the others to take care of."
Yunqing still disagreed.
Yuxi communicated with Huo Changqing, but she didn't really want him to help explain Yunqing. She treated Huo Changqing as an elder, and felt that such a big matter needed to be reported to him. Otherwise, he opened the restaurant without saying a word, as if treating him as an outsider, and then he will have opinions. As for Yunqing, although his temperament is a bit stubborn, Yuxi feels that as long as he grinds it slowly, he can finally agree. Of course, if he is really stubborn and refuses to agree, Huo Changqing can be brought out at that time.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Husband, I really won't be tired, just let me try it! Husband, just promise me!" The teaching of Quan Nu is that you can't be hard on men, just If it can be soft, let Bailian steel turn it into softness around the fingers. Well, in fact, it was the first time in her two lifetimes that she acted like a baby, and she was really not used to it.
Yun Qing hesitated: "There are too many things to prepare for opening a restaurant, do you understand these things?" This restaurant is different from others, and needs attention in all aspects.
Yuxi smiled and said: "You don't know, there are silk shop, rice shop, work shop, etc. under my mother's name, there are seven or eight shops, big and small. If every shop is done by myself, it will not be exhausted? Just choose Alright shopkeeper, I can just grasp the general direction. Husband, just let me try it! Don't worry, I will take care of my body and won't be tired."
Seeing the expectation in Yu Xi's eyes, Yun Qing nodded and said, "Since you want to do it, then you can do it! Han Ji alone is not enough, so I will pick someone else for you." No way, if he went out to discuss business, he would definitely be bullied.
Yuxi smiled gradually: "Okay! Thank you husband."
Yun Qing agreed to Yu Xi with conditions: "But if I find out that you only care about the shop and don't pay attention to rest, then I have to close the restaurant."
Yuxi shook her head and said: "Don't worry, I won't make fun of my body. By the way, if you want to open a restaurant, you have to buy a batch of wine first." Qing said a bit. This method is very simple. If someone who cannot be trusted gets this method, he will not be able to do an exclusive business. Like in his previous life, this secret will not be kept.
Yun Qing nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to Hao Dazhuang." Hao Dazhuang is a soldier under Yunqing, he can speak well, so it's just right for him to do this kind of thing.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "Husband, just send me someone when the time comes." After hearing Yunqing's words, she knew that he was not good at general affairs.
Yunqing didn't force it, and said: "Succeed, he will use it for you in the future. By the way, this restaurant will be placed under your name." Putting it under Yuxi's name is equivalent to Yuxi's private property. included in the dowry.
Yuxi smiled brightly: "My husband is so kind."
On the next morning, Xu Wu handed Yuxi the three thousand taels of silver note, saying that it was for Yunqing to open a restaurant for him: "The general said, if there is any missing, you can tell the foster father." The money is all in Huo Changqing's hands!
Yuxi took the banknote with both hands, and said with a smile: "I see." He used the capital to open a restaurant for her, but the restaurant was her private property. This husband is really considerate.
After finishing the housework, Yuxi went into the study and wrote down the preparations for opening the restaurant. After finishing writing, she was going to show Master Yang to see if there were any omissions.
Zisu came in and said, "Girl,
The eldest girl from the Fu family came over and said she wanted to see the girl. "Zisu felt that this girl Fu really didn't know how to be polite, and she came to the door without posting a post.
Yu Xi was not very comfortable in her heart, but she didn't show it: "Go and prepare tea and cakes!" After finishing speaking, she went out to greet the guests.
When she arrived in the yard, she saw Fu Qingluo wearing a pink prosperous tube top and a white gauze dress, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone, looking very alluring and charming.
Yuxi let out a sigh of relief, fortunately Yunqing doesn't like women like Fu Qingluo, otherwise she would be really worried. Yuxi said with a smile: "Miss Fu came here, what else do you bring?"
Fu Qingluo brought two pots of chrysanthemums over. The yellow-orange-orange flowers look gorgeous. Fu Qingluo smiled and said: "I guess you should like my sister-in-law, like these flowers and plants, so I brought two pots of chrysanthemums."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Fu."
Fu Qingluo looked at Yuxi. Because Fu Qingluo came so suddenly, let alone dressing up, there was no time to change clothes. This time Yuxi was wearing a light blue long dress with white dots of red plums embroidered on the skirt, and a white belt tied around her waist. A head of black silk is twisted into a wishful bun, and only a white jade hairpin with plum blossoms is inserted. Although simple, it looks fresh and elegant.
Fu Qingluo's eyes lingered on Yuxi's face for a while, looking at Yuxi's rosy face without using rouge and water powder, she said with a smile: "Yunqing has always wanted to marry a gentle and pleasant lady, but now His wish has been fulfilled." Han Yuxi's appearance is outstanding, but it's not quite as beautiful as a country. However, the strong woman's quiet and gentle temperament on her body is what men like most. At least, Yunqing likes it.
This sounded wrong, Yuxi suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and said with a smile: "Miss Fu praised you, what's the matter with Miss Fu?" It is extremely impolite to come to the door just to say hello.
After Fu Qingluo sat down, she put the whip in her hand on the table next to her. Instead of drinking the hot tea, she just took a piece of sliced honeydew melon and ate it. After eating, he said with a smile: "It's nothing, I thought you were bored at home alone, so I came to see you."
Yuxi really wants to say that I am not familiar with you, and that everything is boring has nothing to do with you. But her upbringing did not allow her to say something like this: "Thank you, Miss Fu, for your kindness. But there are a lot of things in my mansion, and I can't finish it all day long." It means that she is not bored at all.
After hearing this, Fu Qingluo said: "What are you busy with? It's nothing more than trivial matters, and then embroidery to make clothes. By the way, I heard that you are a master at embroidery. If you don't mind, open my eyes." .”
Yuxi took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Qingluo. Although Yuxi's impression of Fu Qingluo was not good, it was not bad either. Now, Yuxi wanted to sigh.
Fu Qingluo took the veil, looked at the front first, then the back, a little surprised: "It turned out to be double-sided embroidery?" After speaking, she looked at Yuxi and asked, "You embroidered this?" It's all doubt.
It's no wonder that Fu Qingluo was skeptical. In fact, many people's first reaction when they heard this was skepticism. The officials and wives in Yucheng all know that Yuxi is outstanding in embroidery, but they don't know that Yuxi can embroider on both sides. Yuxi herself would not advertise that she can embroider double-sided embroidery all over the street.
Yuxi's complexion is not very good-looking.
Zijin snorted coldly and said, "What? Miss Fu thinks my girl has taken someone else's embroidery to pass off as her own? If you think so, you will be disappointed. This handkerchief was embroidered by my girl herself."
Fu Qingluo smiled, and said, "How come? I just think double-sided embroidery is difficult, and Mrs. Yun is not very old, so I'm just a little surprised." She thought that Han Yuxi was a bad-tempered person, but now it seems that his temper is not small Woolen cloth! It seems that her previous thoughts have to be wasted.
Yu Xi smiled and said, "It's just that I have some talent in embroidery."
Fu Qingluo looked at Zijin, and said with a half-smile: "Your girl is already married to Yunqing, so she should be called Madam." She's already married, so why call her a girl.
Zijin choked for a moment, and said: "I heard that you are very good at martial arts, I want to compete with you, I wonder if it's okay?"
Fu Qingluo was a little surprised: "You want to compete with me?" After finishing speaking, she took a serious look at Zijin, feeling that she might have missed her.
Zijin stood up and said: "I heard that Miss Fu is excellent in martial arts and has even been on the battlefield. She doesn't give in to men. I respect her very much. I want to fight with Miss Fu. I don't know if it is possible?" She used to feel good about Fu Qingluo Yes, and even envied her for living a comfortable life, but this time she will no longer feel this way. I just think this woman is too self-righteous and disgusting.
Fu Qingluo didn't care that Zijin was a maid, she smiled and raised the handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Yes, but if you lose, the handkerchief will belong to me."
Zijin said: "What if you lose?" Zijin still has confidence in her martial arts.
Fu Qingluo smiled and said: "If I lose, you can make a condition, as long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse."
Zi Jin looked at Yu Xi, saw Yu Xi nodded slightly, and immediately raised her voice and said: "Okay." This woman must be suppressed, and she must not be so arrogant.
The two competed in the yard. Fu Qingluo used a whip, which was very flexible; Zijin used a knife, but she didn't use her big knife weighing more than one hundred and sixty catties. That big knife is too dangerous, if Fu Qingluo is accidentally hit, it will be troublesome at that time.
It's not a life-and-death contest, it's just a discussion. So Yuxi wasn't worried, and just watched the two compete at the gate. It was normal at the beginning, you come and go. Suddenly, Fu Qingluo didn't know what was going on, and a whip hit Zijin.
Zijin was not a loser either, Fu Qingluo was really serious, how could she just sit around and wait for this sullen loss, wrapped the big knife in her hand around Fu Qingluo's long whip, and slapped her on the body. However, Zijin controlled her strength and only played 50% of her strength.
Fu Qingluo took two steps back, tightly gripped the whip in her hand, and said with a smile, "I never thought that there would be a crouching tiger, a hidden dragon by Madam Yun's side!" Han Yuxi had such a capable person by his side, no wonder he was able to arrive in Yucheng safely. Fu Qingluo's understanding of Yuxi has risen to another level.
Seeing the bloodstains on Zijin's body, Yuxi's expression was very ugly, and she said coldly: "Please go back, Miss Fu, Zisu, see off the guests." At first, she was just talking about exchanging ideas, but she really did it cruelly. This woman, really Not a good stubble.
Fu Qingluo smiled and said: "You will inevitably get injured in fighting, and you will get used to it after a lot of fights." Since you want to compete, you must be prepared for injury. But this time, she didn't take advantage of it. (to be continued)
