Chengchun had never eaten such a precious thing before. He just felt that it seemed wasteful for a person like him to eat such things, and he couldn't put his hands off the spoon.
Su Xubai saw her thoughts and said softly: "If you don't eat this thing and it breaks in the end, then you are really ruining the thing. Besides, this is also my opinion, and it's not good.
Doesn’t it make me lose all my thoughts?”
In the end, Cheng Chun couldn't stand Su Xubai's consolation. He ate the bird's nest porridge in front of him bite by bite. The bird's nest had no taste at all, and it was mixed in the white porridge, so he couldn't taste anything. He just felt that today's bowl of porridge was better than
The previous ones were a bit sweeter.
Su Xubai watched Cheng Chun finish the porridge and smiled with satisfaction: "You deserve these things. You just need to use them generously. By the way, the housekeeper keys are in your hands now."
, you remember to read the accounts of the house!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Silan came to look for him and asked whose young master was visiting. Chengchun didn't hear clearly and didn't ask. He just watched Su Xubai leave.
As soon as Su Xubai left, Hongdou took out the accounts: "Yesterday after the lady went to bed, the fifth master asked the accountant to bring over all the accounts inside and outside the house. Here are some of the house's revenue, including tea.
There are also tung oil shops, and they are all profitable shops."
Cheng Chun looked at the mountain of account books in front of him and suddenly felt his eyes darken: "Why are so many accounts sent to me?"
"Fifth Master said, let the wife take care of everything about money, he can rest assured!" When Hongdou said this, her eyes were sparkling, and her face was full of happiness, "Fifth Master really cares about the wife!"
Chengchun was more or less confused, but just overnight, Su Xubai suddenly did so many things. She had always known that he treated her well, but it was only because of the relationship between husband and wife.
But the things I did today were a bit too much.
Although Chengchun was puzzled, she didn't want to think too much about it. Since Su Xubai had left this matter to her, she would just handle it well!
The guest was Zhang Xuansong, the son of the Zhang family of Hangzhou weavers. Before Zhang went abroad, he was an official in the capital. At that time, they all played together and grew up naked.
Even after Zhang Xuansong went to Jiangnan later, the two of them still exchanged letters every year. He went to Jiangnan for a short stay during this period, and Zhang Xuansong happened to visit this border town below Hangzhou, so they often went out to have drinks together.
"I heard that you offended the county magistrate because of your concubine?" Zhang Xuansong asked straight to the point when he saw Su Xubai.
Su Xubai came in a hurry, and before he could sit down, he heard him asking: "You are very well-informed about the news. How did it reach your ears so quickly?"
"I'm not very well-informed. Go take a look on the street. Who doesn't know that the daughter of the county magistrate's family was beaten? You must know that this gentleman only has this daughter. That is really a treasure.
You love me so much, but now, just because you beat your concubine, your servants come to the door and beat you. I just don’t know when you took the concubine?" Zhang Xuansong stared at the person in front of him.
Su Xubai sat down with curiosity on his face.
"What do you mean just a beating? Is the person next to me someone she can hit if she wants?" Su Xubai snorted coldly, "As for when I took my concubine, Mr. Zhang is busy with his affairs, so there is no need to do anything.
I’ve told you everything!”
Zhang Xuansong smiled: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, but I'm really curious about what kind of woman can actually make you lose your sense and directly teach the county magistrate's daughter. Listen.
Say, she is a little beauty as beautiful as a flower!"
Su Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly. Chengchun was indeed as beautiful as a flower, but he didn't like Zhang Xuansong calling her little beauty in such a frivolous tone: "Mind your own business!"
He is a friend of many years. He knows best what kind of temper Su Xubai is. He looked at Su Xubai in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You say that, which makes me even more curious. Over the years, you have been strangers to others.
Don't come in, why is there suddenly a beautiful girl next to me, and she's still hiding her body?"
"She... was an accident." Su Xubai picked up the tea soup in front of her, "I accidentally ruined her life, so I have to be more responsible for her. She is smart and sensible. If she hadn't met me, she would have had a good one.
She was wronged by her marriage to me as my concubine!"
Zhang Xuansong raised his eyebrows: "You are worried that you have wronged her here, but have you ever thought about what would happen if your mother knew that you were hiding your beauty in the golden house in the capital?"
Su Xubai fell silent.
"You taught the county magistrate a lesson for her, and the matter spread. Sooner or later, it will reach your mother's ears. Just look at your sister-in-law. Mrs. Su is not an easy mother-in-law to get along with. Your sister-in-law is from a famous family.
A lady, besides having the support of her mother-in-law, life is also difficult. I wonder how long your beautiful lady can last?" Zhang Xuansong looked at the cup of tea in front of him and said with a smile.
Su Xubai's hand holding the tea cup slowly tightened.
She quietly took Cheng Chun as her concubine, originally thinking of hiding her here. Although she was not a decent lady, she could always live a comfortable life in this small town.
But if his mother really found out that he had an outcast, no matter what she said, she would force him to take Chengchun back. As Zhang Xuansong said, her mother was not easy to get along with.
If Chengchun followed her back to the capital, he would only be wronged because of her soft temper.
Seeing that Su Xubai was silent, Zhang Xuansong said: "You and I are both scholars. Sooner or later, we will have to enter the court. Our head wives must be people with a good background. Isn't it true that you take her as a concubine?"
Do you know she can’t get on the stage?”
"she……"
"Although there are not many beautiful women, they are not difficult to find. They just keep them as playthings. I advise you not to use too much sincerity. After all, no upright woman can tolerate a man who is married to her husband."
My favorite concubine!" Zhang Xuansong said coldly, "Let me remind you again, you must never have a concubine's eldest son. I am here to tell you not to let beauty go to your head."
Su Xubai still didn't speak.
And at the courtyard entrance in the distance, an afterimage flashed.
Hongdou followed Chengchun. She looked at Chengchun walking forward slowly and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Knowing that Su Xubai was entertaining guests, Cheng Chun made some of her specialty pastries. She originally asked Hongdou to deliver them, but Hongdou insisted on letting her do it herself, and finally she heard these words.
Hongdou felt regretful, but didn't know how to comfort Chengchun.
