Xie Wenyuan had no answer to this question. She shook her head gently and said, "In fact, I don't know much. I'd better go back and say that your grandmother is probably in the mansion now.
After all, your sisters have all left the mansion now, and there is no one in the mansion to chat and laugh.
So your grandmother has been walking outside recently and gathered with the old ladies who had a good relationship with her before. She is probably old and missed her past things a little!”
Gao Ying nodded and said, "That's right. When people get older, they will miss the people and things in the past. This was the case when my grandmother was there.
If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you like to call some old ladies who have served her in the past to come to her house to talk to her. If you have time, you always have to find a few sisters-in-law to listen to the play and joke together."
Children are always worried that their parents will grow old. Xie Wenyuan sighed softly when she heard this.
"Your grandmother used to say that she wanted to go to the south. In the past, your grandfather said that she was free and took her to see the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the flowing water. Unfortunately, your grandfather was too busy. He was busy with the affairs of the court every day, but he couldn't go there in the end.
I don’t know anything else, but this matter has become a great regret in your grandmother’s heart. Now I am idle and I am not peaceful in the world. Otherwise, I can accompany your grandmother to travel around the mountains and rivers."
When talking about the current chaos, the three people who had dinner together couldn't help but feel silent.
After a while, Lin Ruoxi sighed and said, "I don't know when this situation will end. In the past two months, the purchase of Su Jin and raw silk has slowed down a lot. I don't know how many pieces of a waterway have been cut into. This road is full of mountains, kings, water and enemies. I have to pay some money to buy roads here and some protection fees there.
After transporting it all over the way, I increased the cost by several%. I originally thought about observing it again. If the situation became more serious in two months, I might have to collect the surrounding materials and raw silk.”
"If you think so, others think so too. Now, the price of materials is getting higher and higher. People born in the capital have enjoyed each one without lowering the standards at all.
There are naturally workshops that produce cloth and raw silk near the capital, but the quality is incomparable to those in the south. When we look back, the quality of the finished products we make will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it may not meet the requirements of these people."
Gao Ying has now completely regarded the affairs in the shop as his own.
Speaking of these things, it is very clear, and even the perspective of considering the problem is from the perspective of Xie Wenyuan and Lin Ruoxi.
When the mother and daughter heard her say this, they not only did not show any sadness, but instead smiled a little.
Xie Wenyuan said: "Aying has really grown up now. Such a thing will not hurt you any more, but you can rest assured that the situation in the world is the same.
Our family is affected, and the same goes for other families. No matter what, we cannot be worse than others. At that time, there will generally be no such thing as they want, so they will naturally no longer pursue it."
This was a bit subtle, but Gao Ying could hear it all at once.
It was really that she forgot about it for a while that Xie Wenyuan and her daughter were still behind the Xie family.
There is also the chief assistant Xie Yuncang.
No matter what, they are at the top of their journey. If they can have materials coming in from the south, others may not be able to get them, but they will definitely not have any problems.
Then what she said just now will no longer exist.
After sorting out this troublesome thing, all that is left is the happiness and freedom of the three single women.
Then on Lin Ruoyan's birthday, the three of them had a great time eating and drank some wine.
There is only intimacy and no alienation in the conversation, nor is there any open and secret runs or ridicule.
With such a conversation atmosphere, Jiang Shuhua's mood turned a little envious with the initial disgust.
She originally found it funny and sarcastic when she heard that Xie Wenyuan and Lin Ruoxi and their daughter were going downhill and went to start a business and opened a shop.
Isn't this going downwards by itself?
The elder sister, the chief minister of the dynasty, actually went to work as a businessman, and two women showed up in public in the street.
Just thinking about it makes me feel embarrassing and ridiculous.
But she never thought that after making such a choice, the lives of the mother and daughter were so relaxed and casual.
It is almost completely opposite to what she looks like in the East Palace now.
Every step she takes and every word she says outside is the result of careful consideration.
Even the maid who is closest to me and I have to turn a dozen turns in my heart, thinking about the downward technique of controlling people.
And for the so-called prince by the pillow, not to mention, she was calculating almost from beginning to end, calculating every bit of love with the prince.
Why?
Jiang Shuhua was a little confused, but more confused.
Why can they be so relaxed?
A mother who is divorced from others, a girl who is so old and still not married.
Such two people are running shops in the street, aren’t they afraid of the gaze of others seeking? Are they not afraid of the discussion behind others?
The most important thing is that if they saw the friends they had been with were now high and surrounded by, while they were smiling and dealing with customers in the store, wouldn’t they feel lonely and imbalanced?
Especially Lin Ruoxi.
Even though Xie Wenyuan broke up with Lin Jiyan, she was still the cousin of the Xie family.
With such an identity, as long as she performs well in the Xie family and with the temperament of Xie Yuncang and Mrs. Xie, she will definitely bother to plan a good marriage for her.
Why did she give up on herself so much and actually come to do these despicable things? What was she thinking in her mind?
On the one hand, Jiang Shuhua despised and mocked the people next door, and at the same time, she envied their harmonious atmosphere with irresistible envy.
Then she suddenly remembered that it had been a long time, long time, that she had never had such a happy meal with her.
She looked at the delicious food in front of her and felt boring, and even the attractive dishes became disgusting.
Jiang Shuhua frowned, but glanced at the daylily sitting opposite him, as if waiting for something.
Jiang Shuhua suddenly realized and smiled and said softly: "I have a bad appetite. If you eat more, you can eat more. Seeing you happy, I may be able to use more."
Hisaki looked at her with her eyes open, then lowered her eyes, and whispered: "Yes!"
Jiang Shuhua sat quietly with the chopsticks, looking up at the way the daylily was eating, and ate one or two bites at will.
