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.
If you can’t do well in one store, why would you want to open a second store?”
Su Jinyuan told the old lady of the Su family what Xu Xiuyi said.
The old lady's face turned very ugly and she said to her mother: "Take the child away."
The mother hurried over to pick up the child. The old lady of the Su family raised her eyes and looked at Su Jinyuan: "Is this your wife's idea or yours?"
Su Jinyuan was a filial son and could not tell lies in front of the old lady of the Su family, so he said honestly: "It was Xiu Yi's idea, but I also agree."
"Pa!" The old lady of the Su family slapped the table with her palm and looked at Su Jinyuan with a majestic face, "Are you letting your wife lead you by the nose? What she says is east, and what she says is west is west, right?
She asked you to kick me out, an old lady, but you didn't even blink an eye."
"Mom, why do you say that? Xiu Yi doesn't know how to do it!"
"Why can't she? There are some things I haven't told you because I'm afraid you won't stay home and go out to hang out. Your wife is very powerful despite her delicate appearance. Your father just left not long ago, and I first met her.
I was too tired to run the house for the first time, so I couldn't help but want to help her, but she thought I wanted to seize power, so she made me look bad and threatened me."
Su Jinyuan didn't fully believe Mrs. Su's flowers. In his heart, he believed that Xu Xiuyi was not that indifferent. And to be honest, he knew his mother too well. Whenever he wanted to slander someone, he would just
Being able to add fuel and jealousy to one's life would be terrible to say the least.
Often trivial things can be said like a mountain, but he couldn't refute directly, he could only listen quietly. After listening to the old lady of the Su family, she said with a smile: "Mom, if you have a son in the future, Xiu Yi won't dare
.”
"Now I dare to grab you by the collar and ask you to slap me on the ear."
"Mom!" Su Jinyuan was helpless, but there was a bit of coquettishness on his face. He knew that the old lady of the Su family couldn't stand his tricks. As expected, the old lady of the Su family softened her tone: "Mom, I don't believe you can really call her.
Just by the nose, my son is such an independent son. The women you mentioned just now sound pretty good to me. It’s not that my Su family doesn’t have money, it’s just a little..."
"Which point?"
"You have to let your fourth brother take care of the semicolon. What can the boss do with his cowardice? I think it was the boss who went to ask Xiu Yi for help. Xiu Yi is soft-hearted and can't stand the boss and that one crying and making trouble.
Only those who have hanged themselves will lose their minds and want to hand over my Su family's property to the boss."
The old lady of the Su family had a very firm attitude. Just as Su Jinyuan was about to speak, the old lady of the Su family raised her hand to stop her: "Stop talking more, just leave it to the fourth child to take charge. If it falls, it will fall. Our Su family is not bad at this."
Doing some money should be considered as giving the fourth child a chance to experience. The fourth child has become his father's son, so he should be a little more responsible. As for your eldest brother, Xu Xiuyi should sympathize with them and don't make fun of our Su family's money.
Every cent and cent of the Su family's money was not earned by your father. The bastard also wants to share the property. It's a dream."
At this point, Su Jinyuan had given up all hope of convincing his mother. He just didn't know how to explain to Xu Xiuyi.
After coming out of Su's house, he ordered a carriage to go to the manor area. Along the way, he compiled a hundred ways to persuade Xu Xiuyi. In the end, after much deliberation, there was only one. Otherwise, they would give Dafang some money in his private room so that Dafang could live a better life.
Back at the manor, it was already getting late, and Xu Xiuyi had already spent the evening. Knowing that he had arrived in a hurry and had not yet eaten, he asked Jin Yu to prepare the meal.
Su Jinyuan checked her pulse and found it was stable. He felt relieved just now, but when he thought about the semicolon, he frowned again, looking embarrassed.
Looking at Xu Xiuyi's face, she knew that the discussion with the old lady of the Su family about the semicolon must not go well.
"Mom, you don't agree with my proposal?"
"Not really."
"Does that mean you don't agree with Big Brother taking charge of the semicolon?"
"Hey, you are always so smart. I can't hide anything from you. Mom is determined. I can't persuade you no matter what."
Su Jinyuan naturally tried his best. Under the circumstances at that time, I was afraid that Mrs. Su would turn her back on her son and disown her son if he said a few more words.
Xu Xiuyi also knew that he was in trouble and did not blame her. She just said, "What did mother say?"
"That is to say, I don't agree with it, and I want the fourth child to take charge of it. Even if it falls, the Su family still has this spare money, and it should be given to the fourth child to practice. If Tai Lian doesn't give birth to a son, I will take a concubine at the end of the month, and Tai Lian's son will also
Even if he has a status, my mother said that my fourth brother is the father, so he should take responsibility."
"In the final analysis, you won't let your elder brother take over no matter what, right?"
"Xiu Yi, this is what I think. If you let your eldest brother take charge of the hospital, it will only help him live a better life. Why don't we use all our private money to help his eldest brother and his sister-in-law. When Miss Qing grows up, I will also find a job.
It's a good marriage, so you can repay their kindness, do you agree?"
"Brother is not a beggar." Xu Xiuyi said with a cold face, "What can a seven-foot-tall man do that he can't do to support his wife and daughter? Besides, the second sister has long been interested in Miss Qing's embroidery skills and will definitely hire her to Peony Embroidery House, and so will my sister-in-law's family.
Yin Shi loves his sister-in-law very much, Jinyuan, do you understand? What the eldest brother wants is dignity, and what I want is talent. I said my semicolon, not for fun."
The ancient concubine system really chilled Xu Xiuyi.
And Su Jinyuan's shallow awareness of this and taking it for granted made her feel that there was a generation gap between her and Su Jinyuan, and she was unable to communicate.
Seeing that she was angry, Su Jinyuan comforted her in a panic: "Don't be angry, you may hurt the child carefully."
"Okay, you go ask mother, the real reason why you don't want your eldest brother to take over."
"Actually, mother said so."
"what reason?"
"Mom said that the Su family's money is for me and my fourth brother. The eldest brother and the second brother don't want to get any of it. If the semicolon is opened with our Su family's money, the fourth brother will naturally take over."
I originally thought that Xu Xiuyi would be furious, but unexpectedly she just sneered, then sat up, looked at Su Jinyuan, and said word by word: "Go tell your mother, Baoning Hall's semi-colon money doesn't cost even half a cent."
From your Su family."
"Xiu Yi, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, Jinyuan. I still have to worry about the rest of Semicolon's affairs. Choose a better location, a little further away from Baoning Hall. As for money, since mother said so, then Semicolon's money will be divided into cents.
Brother will earn every penny with his own hands. You have been tired for a day, so you should rest after eating."
Looking at her appearance, she really didn't look like she was angry. Her black eyes were shining, and there was a hint of determination and confidence in her eyes, which shocked Su Jinyuan.
＊
Su Mansion, in the room of the old lady of the Su family, Su Jinyu looked at the baby in the arms of the old lady of the Su family, a little impatiently.
"Mom, you asked me to come here just to see how you tease the kid. It's very boring. I'm leaving."
The old lady of the Su family said angrily: "This is your son."
"I know it's my son, but what's so good about him? He doesn't even look like a flower."
"Nonsense, this is a treasure. I don't like it if it's a flower. Flowers are worthless regardless of their use. Look at how much trouble your second sister brings to the family. It means your eldest brother treats his girl Qing as a flower.
Son, I am probably afraid that this flower will wither without our Su family, so I cried and begged to find your third sister-in-law."
"So shameless?"
Regarding Xu Xiuyi's matter, Su Jinyu suddenly became interested.
The old lady of the Su family licked the child's little lips with her fingers. They were so tender and cute: "Look, look, the smile is exactly the same as when you were a child."
"Mom, you're talking about business, Rongzi, take the child down."
Mother came to hold him, and the old lady of the Su family teased the child a few more times before she was willing to send the child to mother. While giving it away, she warned: "Don't cover yourself too much with the quilt at night, as it will cause prickly heat in the hot weather."
"Yes, old lady."
"Oh mother, why don't you tell me? If you don't tell me, I can leave."
Su Jinyu's appetite had been whetted for a long time, but it had been delayed for so long.
The old lady of the Su family finally turned her eyes away from the child and slapped the back of Su Jinyu's hand: "What are you anxious about? If I can make them succeed, your third sister-in-law will kiss them. Now your third brother is asking your third sister-in-law to lead them by the nose."
, if I don’t be tougher, your third brother will lose his backbone.”
"Isn't that just a cartilaginous worm?"
"Pah!" Su Jinyu was hit on the back of his hand again, and the old lady of the Su family scolded, "Are there any people like you who don't know much about your brother?"
"Didn't Mom say that?" Su Jinyu muttered. In front of the old lady of the Su family, he was like a child who had not grown up.
"I can say that I am his mother and you are his brother. Do you have any rules?"
"Okay, okay, behave yourself. Mom, don't interrupt. Why don't you continue talking? They went to beg Xiu Yi, sister-in-law."
"You kid, you are so sharp-tongued. The third sister-in-law is the third sister-in-law. There is no such thing as the third sister-in-law. The couple from the first house went to beg your third sister-in-law and asked her to use our Su family's money to open a Baoning for them."
Let your elder brother take care of the hall’s semicolon.”
"That's nice to think about, that's my brother and I's money."
"Who said it wasn't? I immediately refused. Your third brother begged me for a long time, but I couldn't resist it. I agreed to open a semicolon, but I will never allow the boss and his wife to touch our Su family's money. Your third brother and I
I told him to send a message to your third sister-in-law. The Su family is willing to pay for the semicolon, but you have to take care of it."
"I?"
Su Jinyu was about to say no. He had listened to the old lady of the Su family in the past few days. In order to avoid Lu Yuer, he worked in Baoning Hall, but it turned out to be boring and boring and he had to be lectured by Su Jinyuan. It was so boring. If he was really asked to take over a pharmacy, he would
It can suffocate life to death.
But when the words came to his lips, he turned around and said, "That's fine, I'm just thinking of leaving Third Brother to practice alone."
The old lady of the Su family was very pleased to see that Su Jinyu actually had great ambitions, and immediately said: "Then it's a double happiness. On the day you take the concubine, you can also open our branch."
Su Jinyu was a little reluctant: "Does it have to be that day? And do I really want to take Tai Lian as my concubine? Mother, you don't know, after giving birth to a child, her belly is as big as the bottom of a pot, and her figure is also out of shape.
You were kind to her and gave her a lot of supplements. She didn't know how to control it, and she ate so much that it looked like a pile of lard. It was greasy. An old woman is already annoying enough, and there is also a fat woman."
"You, you, you brought it upon yourself." The old lady of the Su family poked Su Jinyu's temple.
Su Jinyu pouted aggrievedly: "It's my fault for Tai Lian. That old woman is always a mother. You looked away and were deceived."
"you……"
The old lady of the Su family was wrong. Regarding Lu Yuer's matter, she was indeed in debt to Su Jinyu, so she sighed deeply: "Be patient for now. After two years, I will give you two beautiful concubines."
"real?"
"With your romantic temperament, you really don't resemble anyone else."
Su Jinyu said with a playful smile: "You look like daddy. Didn't daddy have the mother of the eldest brother, second brother and third sister back then?"
In one sentence, the old lady of the Su family looked a little unhappy, and a chill ran down her spine, and she said: "Shut up, don't mention those three things."
Su Jinyu pursed his lips. He had also heard from his servants about the grudges back then, but he just didn't know why his mother still cared so much after so many years had passed and the bad guys had been punished as they deserved.
If you don't mention it, don't mention it. There is only one person he is most interested in right now - Xu Xiuyi.
Since Xu Xiuyi is so kind-hearted and wants to help his eldest brother and his family, he will naturally help her. Who told him to like her? But how to make it happen depends on Xu Xiuyi's sincerity. He has already made up his mind to visit a doctor tomorrow.
Go see the person in your dreams you haven’t seen for a long time.
——Digression——
Starting next Monday, daily updates will be 10,000. Although my words are sometimes unreliable, if the recommendation is good, I will really update more. I will try my best to arrange the scenes between the male and female protagonists to avoid being kicked out. The male protagonist is a soy sauce.
