Chapter 44: It's All Fennel's Fault
The life experiences of the two girls made me sigh. If I had come to the Tang Dynasty a few years earlier, I would have witnessed the legendary Princess Gaoyang. The legendary fierce woman died of anger after fighting against the evil feudal arranged marriage.
The old father on the sick bed dared to challenge the imperial power at all costs just to vent his anger. Although the three-foot white silk ended her 27-year-old life, it could not stop the heavy strokes written in history.
Princess Gaoyang can be said to be the pioneer of the feminist movement. Her deeds were imitated by elite ladies of later generations. Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and Shangguan Wan are among the best, and they are coveted.
Although I have never seen Princess Gaoyang, the appearance of the two girls may be similar to hers. I picked up the little faces of the two girls and observed them hard, but the surroundings were dark and there was no success. The two girls thought I had a baby.
The bad thoughts and the squirming little body tried their best to cooperate, and the consciousness of family ruin and death disappeared.
"Husband, it's cold..." The two girls groaned with sweat. The coldness of the Mid-Autumn night is only relative to that of midsummer. Now that the two of them are hugging each other so tightly, and the wool blankets are covering them tightly, they can't help but feel uncomfortable.
It's weird to sweat.
I casually fucked the two girls’ buttocks, but there was no truth in my mouth. The moon was also covered by clouds, and I understood the tragic life experience. I should be sad and sad, and I should be distressed. We are all alive. If we don’t go back, Ying
It's hard to tell if she wakes up again, not to mention that the second daughter is a bit like that now. According to the current surrounding environment and atmosphere, it must be very exciting to be warm, but the person in her arms is not right. Why don't we go back and take the second daughter now?
After the resettlement, I went with Ying again... Very good idea.
What a pity. I finally managed to put the two girls to sleep well and couldn't wait to rush back to the room. Ying was still sleeping with no intention of waking up. If I had known, I would have looked at the two girls carefully just now. Maybe she is really very close to Princess Gaoyang.
It looks similar. It seems that I have to ask Duke Zhou. I will go and visit now.
After all, the second daughter is still the second daughter. After learning about her life experience for a period of time, under my careful observation, the second daughter has not changed much. She is still submissive around Ying and I, pretending to be stupid knowingly (Ying and I are both used to it.
Women are used to pretending. If she suddenly appears in a smart and clever manner, it is inevitable that Ying will not be able to bear it, and it is also possible that I will not be able to accept it. In this regard, the three of them have formed a tacit understanding. The only thing that is not equal is that Ying still can't stand it.
Thinking that I was being hidden by the two girls in the valley, they reminded me from time to time: Don’t be deceived by the disguise of the two girls, that girl is a thief and a thief. I was slapping him aside, looking disapproving); in front of the servants, I was arrogant, except
Outside the housekeeper and Hu's counting house, no one will give him a good look.
As the toilet water workshop gradually improved, the business of the second daughter became increasingly busy. I ordered the housekeeper to prepare a special car for her, and assigned an experienced and calm driver.
The top-ranked coachman must not be hired, safety comes first. Ying Ze specially selected two smart young girls of the same age as the second daughter to work as maids for the second daughter. After all, they are already the second wife, and now they are the little gods of wealth in the family. They usually go out.
You have to have someone by your side to take care of you, right?
The output of the toilet water workshop is now difficult to meet the market demand. In the face of the strong purchasing power of Chang'an people, the small workshop can only produce 10 kilograms per day (the weight of a hundred millet millet is the baht, twenty-four baht is two,
Three taels is a large liang, and sixteen taels is a catty. The currency situation of the Tang Dynasty is: 1 tael of silver = a string of money (i.e., a consistent) = 1000 Wen (wen is a copper coin), 50 taels of silver is approximately equal to 50÷16=3.125 catties
=1865 grams) is really difficult to maintain, and people often crowd in front of the workshop and forcefully buy the goods before they are put on the shelves. Toilet water is not only favored by local wealthy people, but also attracts the attention of international businessmen.
Some international friends have asked someone to deliver a message or come to the Chen family in person, asking for limited time and limited supplies. At the current output, let alone limited time wholesale, even retail cannot satisfy them, but you can't chase away the customers who come to your door.
went out, so the proposal to expand the workshop was put on the agenda again.
It's still the same as before, when I go out to build the land, the Chen family pays for it, and the second daughter and the fourth child are fully responsible. In fact, the money mentioned, the early profits are already more than enough, and in the Hu accountant (now the accountant of the Wang family and the chief executive of the toilet water company)
Under the management of the accountant, the two companies divided the previous assets and then re-invested in the new factory, while the production and final construction of the old workshop (which had not actually been fully completed) continued. In this way, the Wang family was only
With the land and secret recipe revealed, nearly two thousand taels of silver have been recovered.
"Second Madam, please be careful," Butler Qian squeezed his rich features into a bun shape with a flattering smile, and flattered the two women who had just got out of the car and entered the door: "Second Madam, you have worked hard today. I have already given you instructions.
In the kitchen, your extra meal has been prepared, just waiting for you to come back." He turned around and told the boy: "Why are you just standing there? Why don't you ask someone to prepare it for Madam? Go quickly!"
Since the beginning of the cooperation with the Chen family, the second daughter has been busy non-stop. Recently, she has to expand production and rebuild the workshop. The small body of the second daughter is a bit too much. I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart, so I specially let the kitchen for the second daughter.
The girl added a meal and asked the housekeeper to bring some "milk" goats to the house. The two girls were forced to drink a bowl of goat's milk and two eggs every morning and evening to supplement protein. Originally they were called Ying and the second girl.
They drank together, and the two girls just returned it, but Ying was very repelled by the taste of goat's milk. Before it reached her mouth, she was so smoked that she ran away and retched, which made me think she had it. It was a torment for a doctor.
After a few days, people were happy for nothing.
The two girls still respected this old housekeeper who had worked for the Wang family for many years. They turned their faces and smiled at the old man to express their greetings, and then went to eat surrounded by the two maids.
"Mr. Hu, you've worked hard too. You came back earlier than usual today." Butler Qian greeted Accountant Hu who came back with the two girls. Since Accountant Hu became the chief accountant of Hualushui Group, his status has also changed.
A rising tide lifts all boats, and Butler Qian has begun to use the title 'you'.
Accountant Hu politely returned the favor: "Things went well today. The second lady is considerate of my old bones and came back a little earlier than usual."
Seeing several servants packing carriages and horses beside him, Butler Qian winked at Accountant Hu and said, "Mr. Hu, there is nothing much going on today. The young Marquis and his wife went to watch polo.
If you can't come back, why don't you come over to my place and play two games?" He deliberately played loudly so that everyone around him could hear clearly.
Accountant Hu understood and agreed loudly, "Okay, okay! It's been a long time since I've learned Butler Qian's tricks. I heard that your chess skills have improved a lot recently. Let's go and play a few games!"
"That's it, that's it," the two of them exchanged greetings all the way to the housekeeper's room, where housekeeper Qian diligently poured a bowl of herbal tea for Hu Accountant.
"When did Brother Qian learn to play chess? The excuse is a bit unreasonable." Accountant Hu took a big sip of herbal tea and let out a sigh of relief.
"What kind of chess are you playing? I have something to discuss with Brother Hu. Where are you, Ba Jie?" Butler Qian said kindly with a professional smile.
"Oh~ Brother Qian, if you have anything to say, feel free to tell me. We have been friends for many years. It's weird."
"This is a bit embarrassing to say," the housekeeper said for a while, and then made up his mind, "I won't hide it from you. In fact, our job is not easy to do. You also know the situation in this mansion in the past few years. Although our Wang family is a wealthy family,
Yes, those outside don’t know but are just envious, but we know in our hearts that the old Marquis does not allow his descendants to serve as officials in the court, and our reputation is false. Last year, my nephew from my mother’s side went abroad and wanted to learn how other people do business. From my place
I asked for some capital, but I didn't know that brat was not good at doing business, so I was deceived by Hu Hu, and ran back with half a cart of fennel. I haven't made a move yet, but I'm about to lose it." The steward said, clapped his legs and stamped his feet.
, with a sad face.
"What do you mean by steward Qian?" Hearing this, Mr. Hu was a little worried that the steward would ask him to borrow money, and even the title changed.
"I heard that the water sold by the second lady is now worth a lot of money. I think..."
Mr. Hu hurriedly interrupted the housekeeper: "Second Madam doesn't run any water business, so don't say this nonsense! It was the Chen family who asked us to allocate a piece of land to build a workshop for them. For the sake of my wife's face, our Wang family reluctantly agreed.
Well, that Tangtangshuishui matter has nothing to do with our family, don’t hold the shit basin over your head! Madam is worried about the Chen family and is afraid of causing trouble in our village, so she assigned the second lady and me to go and inspect. From now on, we will all
I have to go, the Chen family is very cunning and will cause trouble if they are not looked after for a day, does the housekeeper understand?"
"If you want to say that my wife is also from the Chen family, why should I worry?" The housekeeper was a bit unreasonable.
"Nonsense! Old Qian, you are confused, how can you say this? Now that my wife has arrived at our house, she is a member of the Wang family! She has nothing to do with the Chen family anymore, so her heart must be towards our family, so of course I don't worry!
"
The housekeeper understood, nodded hurriedly, and looked at Hu Accountant with admiration: "Old fool, old fool, if Mr. Hu hadn't reminded me, I would have really made a joke. Since Mr. Hu goes to inspect every day, he must be familiar with the Chen family
.What I mean is that I want to ask you to buy some water, and then let my little nephew go out and stir it up. Maybe I can make back the loss, how about it?"
"What do you think it is? It's easy. How much does it cost? Brother, I'll do it for you tomorrow. You can't buy it with cash outside now. It's all about brother!" Accountant Hu felt that he still had a lot to do with this matter.
I'm sure the chief accountant is not doing it for nothing.
"Here, that's it." The butler blushed and said a little embarrassed: "I can't get the money out yet. I want to ask my brother to buy some goods first. Is that okay?"
"……………………..." Accountant Hu was speechless.
Seeing the somewhat excited expression on the accountant's face, the butler quickly said: "I know you are in trouble, brother. Otherwise, there is half a cart of fennel at home. Tomorrow I will ask my nephew to push it over and top it first. Brother, you have to help me with this. Old man
Thank you!" He stood up and bowed to Accountant Hu.
"Don't, don't! If you discuss this matter directly with the Second Madam, it's definitely out of the question. Brother, you don't know, people who wait at the door of the workshop all day long to buy goods can start fighting. This thing is very popular now."
"What should we do? Brother Hu, you have to think of a way for me, otherwise we may have no hope for the rest of our lives."
"Brother Qian, don't worry. When the young Marquis comes back in the evening, I will take some time to talk to him. The young Marquis is kind-hearted. If he nods, there may be hope for this matter." After several months of contact, Hu Accountant
I think I'm relatively easy to talk to, at least I'm much kinder than the two ladies.
When the housekeeper heard that there was still hope, he stood up and bowed, "Good brother, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will remember Mr. Hu's friendship..."
"Brother Qian is serious, you have been here for so many years, why are you talking about this? See outsiders, see outsiders!" Accountant Hu quickly helped the housekeeper sit down, "Brother Qian, I'm not telling you, you are really confused in handling this matter.
,Isn’t it just looking for losses when doing business with Beard?”
"I'm obsessed with my mind. Seeing that the Wang family is getting worse day by day, can I not be anxious? This anxiety will spoil the meal! How could the old man expect that the palace would suddenly rise again? I regret it so much!"
"Don't worry, from my brother's point of view, our Wang family is just at the beginning. Speaking of it, it's still to come. I have long seen that the young marquis is not an ordinary person. He just ignores everything and doesn't care about it. I feel terrible.
Ming Jing is very good. Just a few days after he came back, all the Cheng family and Qin family were under control. Just looking at the momentum of the old Du family, didn't you ever envy the Du family's butler? Look, now, the Du family's top rival is not three-year-old.
Chawu ran to our house and wanted his nephew to become our apprentice?" When Butler Hu said this, he couldn't help but feel proud, as if it was him whom Qin Yu wanted to be his apprentice.
"Brother, you are not honest. Why didn't you give me a warning when you saw it earlier? It's so troublesome that I'm looking for life and death. I'm still worried about leaving home. I'll wait at the door now. When the young marquis comes back, you have to
If you explain it carefully, I will leave the rest of my life to you."
"Let's go together, let's go together. I also took a walk outside and weighed two kilograms of old wine. I have been so busy recently that I don't even have the energy to take a sip of wine. Brother, please treat me first."
