Chapter 209 Zhao Da stops the car
Xia Xuelian was so excited that she did not sleep all night. When she woke up the next day, Liu was shocked to see her.
"Lian'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, I have to accompany my grandparents and mother to attend the palace banquet, I...I'm worried"
When Liu heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Lian'er..."
Just as she was about to say a few words to comfort her, she heard the little maid report that it was Nanny Rong from the old lady's courtyard who had arrived.
Lian'er quickly asked the maid to come in.
When Rong Mama came in, she saw Liu standing next to Xia Xuelian. She didn't even look at her and said to Xia Xuelian directly, "The old lady asked me to say something to the young lady."
Rong Mama is the old lady's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She is deeply trusted by the old Duke and the old lady, and has great prestige in the mansion. Naturally, she is a very different existence in the mansion.
Xia Xuelian was a little clever. She knew the difference in status between Rong Mama and Rong Mama, so she was very respectful to her and asked softly, "Mama, please speak."
Rong Ma nodded slightly: "The old Duke and the old lady said that Miss, there is no need to be nervous. You are the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. You will stay with the old lady when the time comes."
Xia Xuelian was very happy. It turned out that her grandparents valued her so much.
Another worry came up: "Mammy, should we perform a talent show at the palace banquet?"
Nanny Rong's expression did not change at all, and she continued to be businesslike: "What talent do you have, young lady?"
Xia Xuelian was speechless. She could not even read a few words, so where did her talent come from? At this moment, she could not help but resent the Xia couple. What was the point of pampering her?
Now I can’t play any of the arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy or painting, and can only shake my head helplessly.
Nanny Rong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you can't do it, then you can't do it. Just be content to be the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion."
The stone in Xia Xuelian's heart finally fell, and she stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Rong, for your teachings."
Nanny Rong showed a satisfied smile on her face, turned around and left. No one saw her smile disappear immediately.
Anyang City
Xue Qing and his group bought too many New Year's goods, so Shopkeeper Xie arranged a horse-drawn carriage to take them back. When they were almost at Shilibao, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side of the road.
The horse was frightened, but fortunately the driver reacted quickly and reined in the horse tightly.
Xue Qing calmed the old man and the child, opened the car door, and looked outside: "What's going on?"
The driver hurried back: "Mr. Wu, a figure suddenly appeared on the side of the road, so the horse was frightened. Look, it's this person."
Point with your hand.
Xue Qing saw a figure next to the carriage, and he looked familiar. Before he could speak, he heard the man say, "I am Zhao Da. Mr. Wu, can I have a word with you?"
When Jiang Yi heard Zhao Da, he followed Xue Qing out of the carriage.
Xue Qing got out of the car and took two steps closer. He saw that Zhao Da's face was very pale and he seemed to have a dead air about him.
"What do you want from me?"
"May I have a word with you?" Zhao Da spoke weakly.
Jiang Yi stepped forward and said firmly: "If you have anything to say, say it here."
Zhao Da showed an embarrassed expression, and Xue Qing only said: "Wait for me here." After that, he raised his foot and walked to the side, and Zhao Da walked over slowly.
Xue Qing had his back to her. People who practice martial arts have better hearing than ordinary people, but he only heard that it seemed like it was Li who was talking about him.
A moment later, Xue Qing returned to the carriage. Zhao Da still walked slowly, but seemed to be much more brisk.
Liu looked at Xue Qing and saw that she didn't want to talk about Zhao Da meeting her, so she didn't mention it. Ding didn't ask any more questions.
When they returned home, the sky became increasingly darker.
After helping to move all the New Year's goods in, the driver hurried back to Anyang City. He had to get back before the city gates closed.
Wu Tong was in the house, looking through the window at the huge pile of New Year goods that Liu had bought, and he felt like a piece of his heart was being taken away.
"What a spendthrift, what a spendthrift!" Wu Tong said angrily to Liu who came into the room.
Liu's originally happy mood suddenly became as gloomy as the sky outside: "What do you mean by wasting money? If you don't eat or drink, you are not wasting money."
"Can't you save money on food and shopping? I still have to go to private school after the New Year. Do I have money left?"
Liu understood that this was a disguised way of asking about the family's money.
"Qian'er, you don't have to worry about going to private school. Ding will take care of it." After saying this, Liu turned around and went back to her own room.
Xue Qing suddenly discovered how sensitive her ears were. She was clearly in her east wing, but she could understand the conversation between Wu Tong and Liu.
She thought they were talking at the door of the east wing, so she came out to see that no one was there. She asked Ding: "Sister-in-law, did you hear what mother said just now?"
Mrs. Ding shook her head: "Qing'er, Dad and Mom are in the room, how can we hear them talking?"
Mrs. Ding suddenly covered Xue Qing's forehead with her palm and said, "Qing'er, did you catch a cold outside the carriage just now?"
It’s not hot either.
Xue Qing laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, maybe I heard it wrong."
Mrs. Ding asked Xue Qing to take a rest while she went to the kitchen to cook with Jiang Yi.
Capital
The weather had just cleared up for a short while, but it turned gloomy again, and people went to bed early. When it was dawn, the servants opened the door, and the heavy snow was still falling.
There was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of my eyes.
At this time, in the Tianzihao guest room of Youran Ju, the host was eating hot pot.
I saw that his forehead was covered with sweat, and his personal servant would come over from time to time to gently wipe the sweat off his face.
He was a little reluctant, but years of habit made him put down his chopsticks.
The shopkeeper of Beijing's Youranju knocked on the door gently and timely. The boss raised his hand and the personal servant opened it.
The owner of Youranju is named Chen Xiangdong.
Shopkeeper Chen walked in and nodded slightly to his personal servant: "Thank you, Manager Li."
The owner of Youranju had left the table and sat on the armchair next to it: "Manager Chen, have you ever tried this hot pot?"
Shopkeeper Chen bowed and said, "After receiving the recipe and the chili, I made it and ate it first."
The boss's expression did not change at all, and his voice was calm and calm: "What do you think of its future in the capital?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and his mood suddenly became high: "If we can promote it in the capital, it will be popular throughout the Great Zhou within a year! Boss, this..."
Before Chen the shopkeeper could get excited, the boss interrupted him and said, "Then keep this dish for yourself first."
After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
Leaving shopkeeper Chen in a mess.
Manager Li followed the boss closely. When the two of them got on the carriage, Li Jun saw that the boss looked better and asked cautiously, "Master, why can't hot pot be launched in the capital?"
How much money will be lost this way!
The boss looked at him, and Li Jun suddenly felt that the carriage was not warm at all.
"I know I was wrong," Li Jun slapped himself.
"Okay," the boss waved his hand.
