Chapter 91 Leading by the nose(1/3)
In the Su Family Manor, Xu Xiuyi felt much better after a day's rest, but the tingling pain in her abdomen and ankles still made her unable to get out of bed. Fortunately, she was not a restless person, so she asked Jin Yu to find a book and read it before sending it away.
This day has passed.
When Su Jinyuan came back, Jin Yu brought food in. Su Jinyuan specifically asked Jin Yu to move the table to the bedside, and sat down facing Xu Xiuyi. He smiled at Xu Xiuyi as tenderly as water. Even after a busy day in Baoning Hall, in front of Xu Xiuyi
, and he didn't show any signs of fatigue.
In the evening, I made a medicinal diet according to Su Jinyuan's prescription. Although it was a bit bitter, it was good for the body and the children. Xu Xiuyi ate a lot even though she had no appetite.
After the dinner was finished, Xu Xiuyi thought it was time to talk to Su Jinyuan about the Baoning Hall branch.
"Jinyuan, I have something to discuss with you."
Su Jinyuan smiled warmly and came to the bedside, wiping her hands with a wet handkerchief. His movements were gentle. He was a young master who was used to being served by others, and he was very strict when serving others.
"Well, tell me."
“I want to open a Boryeongdang branch.”
Su Jinyuan stopped wiping his hands and looked a little troubled: "With the financial resources of our Su family, we can afford to open another semicolon. However, now a Baoning Hall can no longer make ends meet, and the Baoning Hall is suppressing them everywhere.
Wouldn't it be inappropriate to open a semicolon at this time?"
Su Jinyuan's concerns are right. After all, the current Baoning Hall is like a small boat in the torrent. If you are not careful, it will overturn the river and sink. Not to mention that the current Baoning Hall is still being threatened. The bamboo of the Baoning Hall
Peng, trying every possible means to sink Ye Bianzhou in Baoning Hall.
In today's situation, opening a semicolon is not the best time, it can even be said to be a very inappropriate time.
But Xu Xiuyi had her own considerations.
"Although Baoningtang is a century-old brand, Baoningtang is a latecomer. No time-honored brand can last forever. You have more experience in business than me. You should know that under the sign of a time-honored brand, you have been doing business unchanged for hundreds of years. After the peak,
It will keep going downhill, just like our Baonyeong Hall. Have you ever thought about why Baonyeong Hall has become what it is today in just a few months? Of course, I cannot shirk my responsibility."
Su Jinyuan hurriedly said: "What does it have to do with you? If you hadn't shouldered the entire responsibility of Baoning Hall when the Su family was in the most difficult time, Baoning Hall might not have been able to survive today. You are right, there is no time-honored brand
If you can continue doing it unchanged for thousands of years, then tell me why you want to open a semicolon, and what is the difference between the semicolon and Baoning Hall today?"
When he said this, there was room for negotiation. Xu Xiu recalled that Su Jinyuan would definitely obey her, not only because Su Jinyuan was almost obedient to her now, but also because Su Jinyuan was also very insightful in doing business.
and mind.
Xu Xiuyi then said: "When opening a semicolon, it is natural to be innovative and not static. First of all, I set up several positions at Baoningtang Semicolon, which is different from the current one. I added a sales position."
"Sale?"
Knowing that Su Jinyuan must be confused by this new concept, Xu Xiuyi explained: "Throughout the ages, whether it is Baoning Tang or other shops, they have always waited for customers to come to their door. But other shops aside, we only sell medicinal materials.
No matter whether there is no illness or injury, who will come to buy medicine and see a doctor? So this time I asked the waiter to find the customer. Even if there is no illness, pain or injury, having some medicinal materials at home can make people feel at ease. It all depends on the waiter's mouth, so
For this position, when the semicolon is established, I will personally select it and strictly control it."
Sounds very tempting.
Su Jinyuan became interested: "Yes, breaking the traditional business concept, what else?"
"In addition to the sales position, I also have some other arrangements. These are not the key. The key is the semicolon. I want my eldest brother to manage it."
As soon as these words came out, Su Jinyuan's expression changed and his eyebrows furrowed: "What did you hear?"
Xu Xiuyi just smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to hold Su Jinyuan's hand. With this soft policy, she was not afraid that Su Jinyuan would not be soft-hearted.
"My eldest brother and sister-in-law are kind to me. I never like to owe others a favor. I don't dare to go against my mother's orders and take them home, but I can't let them go. This is what I think. If the eldest brother doesn't do well,
Without saying a word, I will replace him immediately. I always give people a chance to try. Do you think there is anyone in our Su family who is more suitable to take over this semicolon than the eldest brother?"
"Fourth brother is training with me."
"Jinyuan, you know better than me what my fourth brother is like. I'm doing this for family business, not joking."
Su Jinyuan was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "I have spoken harshly about the elder brother and sister-in-law. Now I can't bear to cause them to live outside, so I'll let you do it."
"Mother..."
"I'll go tell you."
Xu Xiuyi smiled sweetly and stretched out her arms to hug Su Jinyuan. For the sake of the Su family's big house, she would sacrifice her beauty. Moreover, this hug, to her, was a hug of gratitude and a hug of friendship.
But she probably ignored that for Su Jinyuan, such a hug was a hug of hope, a hug of being forgiven and accepted, and a hug of starting over.
At this moment, even if she said to Jinyuan, pick the stars from the sky and give them to me, he would not hesitate.

The matter of the Su family's Baoning Hall semicolon was finalized in this way. At night, Xu Xiuyi told Su Jinyuan some of her unique ideas about the semicolon's house inspection and job arrangement. Su Jinyuan agreed with them all, and even admired Xu Xiuyi from the bottom of his heart. He never thought of the previous arrangement.
The boring woman who walked around turned out to be so smart and capable. She fell in love with Xu Xiuyi even more.
When she got up early the next morning, Su Jinyuan went to Baoning Hall. According to the two people's plan, the semicolon would be opened at the end of July. Xu Xiuyi still couldn't get out of bed and spent the day reading. Jin Yu accompanied her and embroidered flowers.
, Xu Xiuyi suddenly thought of the purse she embroidered with Su Li that day.
He didn't seem to see it in the embroidery basket, so he asked: "Jinyu, where is my purse? It has a mountain tiger embroidered on it."
"Oh, is there a lock of grandma's hair in it?"
"how do you know?"
"You can find it with just a touch. It was sliding smoothly in the mezzanine. I asked the third master to take it away. He took it away this morning. The third master was very happy. The smile on his face was pulled to the back of his mouth.
Come on, I will be happy these days when I see the Third Master like this."
Xu Xiuyi's expression froze slightly. The purse was not for Su Jinyuan. As for who it was for, there was actually no one who deserved it. It was just for fun, but later she asked Su Li to pick up a strand of hair and stuff it into it.
She didn't have the nerve to spoil Su Li's interests.
I should have put it away that day, but I didn't expect to ask Su Jinyuan to take it away.
Thinking of the day, An Chengshao once asked her to embroider a purse, stuff her hair and give it to her. After working day after day, that purse became a promise that could never be fulfilled and did not need to be fulfilled.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Jin Yu asked out of curiosity: "Grandma, what's going on? Is it a pity that she didn't give it to me in person?"
"Haha!" Xu Xiuyi just smiled without commenting.
Jin Yu stopped what she was doing and smiled evilly: "Grandma is shy?"
"You're just shy, do something."
Xu Xiuyi chuckled lightly, and Jin Yu suddenly muttered: "Grandma and Master are really jealous. Previously, I always thought that Grandma, you were in love with another man. It turned out to be our Master. Nowadays, we show affection regardless of the occasion. At three o'clock in the morning
I took the purse and went to the bedside to kiss grandma, and the slaves are still there."
Xu Xiuyi wiped her face subconsciously, feeling worried. Now it's just a kiss, what if it's in the future? There is no escape from the love between husband and wife, but she and Su Jinyuan...
That's all, that's it for now, at least now I can drag it with my belly. No one can say what will happen in the future. Maybe one day, her feelings for Su Jinyuan will melt into water and turn into love. Although, she herself
I know in my heart that it is really difficult to love someone again after this heart has been severely hurt once.
"I'm going to take a break. If you finish your work, go to my uncle's house. Just tell him that everything is in the same place. Don't be discouraged. If you have time these days, go see a doctor. Don't drink anymore.
He is a doctor, and he knows better than anyone that drinking too much alcohol is harmful to your health, and it is not good for your children."
Jin Yu nodded: "Then grandma, go to sleep. I will go back and finish embroidering this flower. It just so happened that the handkerchiefs used by Miss Qing last time I met were all old, so I embroidered them and gave them to her."
"Haha, you are so good with that girl, I will send you to be her dowry maid in the future."
She was talking, but she also took it a bit seriously. She had an intuition that she must not belong to this place. After she left, the people around her would naturally have to settle down. In fact, if she could follow Miss Qing, it would be a blessing for Jinyu.
Jin Yu didn't take it seriously and continued to embroider. Xu Xiuyi lay down and closed her eyes. Naturally, she couldn't fall asleep. She just didn't want to continue the topic of her love with Su Jinyuan with Jin Yu, so she sent Jin Yu away with the excuse of going to bed.
Hearing Jin Yu cut the thread with scissors, and then the sound of closing the door and going out, she opened her eyes and looked at the water-pink curtain. Her mind was a little empty. Many things seemed distant and yet very close.
After she woke up, Jin Yu said that she talked a lot of nonsense and couldn't understand a word. She heard Jin Yu repeat the sentence she said the most, which was actually "Happy New Year, Mom." Happy New Year, Mom. If she could, she really wanted to go back.
The world that belongs to her.
Even if you work as hard as a dog every day, even if you are so old that you don’t even have a date, even if you don’t have a house, a car, or a lot of savings, even if you have arguments with patients, or have troubles with colleagues in the same department,
But at least at that time, her heart was not so tired.
Sometimes, when a person thinks too much, his head feels heavy. As soon as his head feels heavy, she gradually begins to feel sleepy, and simply drowns all the disputes and worries into sleep.

Su Mansion.
Su Jinyuan had time to go back home. The old lady of the Su family had already heard from the servant who came to report that Xu Xiuyi's stomach was fine. The old lady was quite relieved.
It happened that Tai Lian also gave birth in the past few days. When Tai Lian was pregnant, her belly was round. Everyone said that she was a daughter. She also liked spicy food when she was pregnant. The old lady of the Su family, who was a sour and spicy girl, did not worry about the child at all. As a result,
Unexpectedly, Tai Lian succeeded in giving birth to a son.
Looking at the sons of the Su family, from Miss Qing in the big house to Miss Lan who is looking for a beautiful maid, they are all girls. Now Tai Lian, a boy, is also his direct grandson. The old lady of the Su family is so precious.
Instead of calling her Tai Lianling, she found a wet nurse and kept her by her side.
As Tai Lian's mother was the most valuable child, the old lady of the Su family officially gave Tai Lian the title of aunt, and a simple ceremony was held at the end of July to bring Tai Lian into the family.
The old lady of the Su family was very happy. Su Jinyuan suddenly told her that Baoning Hall was going to open a branch and leave it to Su Jinye to take care of it. This really dampened the old lady of the Su family's joy. If she hadn't loved Su Jinyuan, she would have immediately
He's about to show his dark face.
At this moment, she managed to have a kind face, looking at her precious grandson in her arms, smiling and teasing: "Well, why do you need to open a semicolon? I heard that even Baoning Hall is having a hard time making a living now.
