The matter of the escort agency was settled. I wonder if it was because of the new business. Father and son Chu Shun and Chu Quan finally calmed down and stopped troubled by the big house. After Chu Run got married, he decided to continue studying and return to school three years later.
Taking the imperial examination might turn out to be a blessing in disguise, and you might be able to come back with a top score.
Everything returned to calm, and Shi Chunquin finally had the opportunity to devote himself wholeheartedly to the business of the tea house, without having to think about the bad things in the Chu family.
Days passed day by day, and the Spring Festival came to an end soon. On the day when the good news came from the capital, Shi Chunquin was counting a new batch of goods at Jiuku Tea House. When she learned that Chu Ling had successfully passed the examination for the first prize in civil and military examinations, she felt extremely excited.
Much calmer than expected.
It has been two months. Chu Ling has been away for two full months, but he has not sent a letter back to her. She has to rely on the news from the old lady to know her husband's current situation. This feeling is terrible, she
She also knew that Chu Ling was very busy in the capital, and she should not ask him to do too many things, so at the beginning, she always wrote to him, one letter every ten days, without interruption.
But no matter how busy a person is, why can't he reply to a letter in two months? What's more, he has written to the old lady more than once, but he has not sent her half of the letter back, not even a word. At least
Let her know that he is thinking about her, but there is still nothing.
Her heart gradually withered while waiting, and she began to have random thoughts, wondering if Chu Ling had met other women on the way, so she had completely forgotten about her.
This thought made her gradually lose her expectations for Chu Ling High School. She always felt that the more radiant he was, the farther away he would be from her.
"Grandma, did you hear that?" Li Yan was much more excited than she was, "Uncle, he has graduated from high school, and he is the first civil and military champion in Zhao Kingdom!"
"I heard it." Shi Chunfen smiled calmly, "You can take some silver for me to reward the person who reports the news."
"Okay!" Li Yan left happily, completely unaware of Shi Chunfen's calmness.
However, Shi Cui could tell at a glance that her mood was not right, "What's wrong, Spring Equinox?" Shi Cui asked with concern: "Uncle, you are in high school, don't you seem very happy?"
"I'm happy, how could I not be happy?" Shi Chunfen tugged at her lips. Any woman would be happy to know that her husband had won this honor. She was just a little calmer than she thought.
How could Shi Cui not see her harsh words? She quickly sighed, "Are you afraid that he has another woman in the capital?"
Seeing that she had revealed what he was thinking, Shi Chunfen's eyes darkened and he smiled bitterly: "Is it that obvious?"
Shi Cui shook her head, "We are all women, how could I not understand you?"
A man like Chu Ling is a natural disaster. He will attract bees and butterflies wherever he goes. Anyone who marries him will feel uneasy.
Shi Chunfen sighed, "Actually, I also know that sooner or later, I will have other women, but this day will come sooner than I thought."
She hadn't had time to get pregnant with Chu Ling's child. If he fell in love so quickly, she really didn't know if she would be able to hold on to her position as the eldest mistress of the Chu family.
"Perhaps everything is just your wild imagination?" Shi Cui comforted: "The uncle has just finished the exam and is about to enter an official career. How can he have so much free time to favor other women? And before the imperial examination, he did not have such leisurely feelings.
, Aren’t you afraid that you will fail the exam?”
This is indeed true, and it comforts me a little when the spring equinox comes.
Yes, there are so many serious things to do in the capital, how can Chu Ling have the spare time to meet other women?
However, this still cannot explain the fact that he did not reply to her letter. At least it proved that he did not take her to heart.
"Forget it, don't think about him." Shi Chunquin didn't want to worry my aunt, so she pretended to be relaxed and said: "Right now, the main business is to do well in the tea house's business."
Regardless of whether Chu Ling meets other women or not, she is always right to do her own business well.
Not only to make the people of the Chu family look up to her, but also to give herself more confidence in the future, so that even if Chu Ling doesn't like her in the future, she can rely on her business skills to prevent herself from starving to death.
"Yes!" It was rare for her to think openly, and Shi Cui naturally wanted it. "Actually, the business of the tea house is now on the right track. We have been making money in the past two months. The supply of goods in the shop exceeds demand. Maybe we should also prepare to open a branch.
.”
"We are going to open a branch." Shi Chunfen said with a smile, "But not in Liuzhou, but in a different place."
"Oh?" Shi Cui was a little surprised.
Shi Chunfen patiently analyzed it for her: "Although there are many customers in the teahouse now, most of them are tourists from other places. The frequency of local purchases is actually not high. Tea is a slow consumable product. In addition to giving gifts,
No one will buy in large quantities in a short period of time, so the good business at the moment is just a temporary appearance. When there are fewer tourists, the business will naturally decrease significantly. By then, operating two tea houses in Liuzhou at the same time will most likely make a loss.
"
"That's it." Shi Cui nodded slightly, looking at Shi Chunfen with eyes filled with relief, "You are really becoming more and more capable."
Shi Chunfen lowered his head and smiled. In fact, it was not because of her ability, but when a person does something with his heart, he will naturally see things that are usually invisible.
Jiu Ku Tea House was opened by Chu Ling who paved the way for her. All the clerks in the store were experienced and experienced, and the only thing she had to do was to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. If she couldn't even do this well, then she would really
It's useless.
"Then where do you plan to open a branch?" Shi Cui soon became worried about another problem.
It is no longer easy to run a teahouse. Shi Chunfen plans to open a second teahouse in a short period of time, and the second teahouse is not located in Liuzhou. The risks involved are too great.
"I don't know either." Chun Equinox himself had not thought about this question.
No matter how careful she is, it is still her first time doing business. In addition to avoiding the risks she can see as much as possible, it is difficult for her to have a perfect plan for other things.
"Then think about it slowly." Shi Cui would not force her, "Business matters cannot be rushed."
She is not in a hurry, but some people are very anxious.
Shi Chunfen was eager to make achievements before Chu Ling came back. She wanted him to see her value and prove that she was not a woman who would just wait for his reply in the back house.
Even if he never replies to her for the rest of his life, she will definitely live a good life.
After finishing counting the newly arrived goods, Shi Chunfen and Shi Cui walked out of the warehouse together. Everyone in the tea house knew about Chu Ling High School. There was a lot of joy and laughter outside, and everyone was chasing Li Yan to ask for reward money.
Seeing her coming out, everyone hurriedly said: "Grandma, uncle, he has graduated from high school. Should we have a good celebration? At least we have to have a big meal, right?"
