"Congratulations on your son. I came here in a hurry today and didn't prepare any gifts. I will ask the attendants to bring the gifts later."
"You're welcome, Mr. Yuan, please wait." The pavilion chief immediately remembered the business and welcomed the person to the main hall: "Let's have a meal first, and then we will do the business."
Cheng Qinghan glanced at the already dark sky outside, and was about to refuse when she heard Yuan Qi say.
"It's getting late, so I'll finish her paperwork today, and I'll come over tomorrow to do the rest."
The pavilion chief's expression changed when he heard this, and he immediately asked someone to prepare the things.
"What kind of store does Miss Cheng want to open? Have you decided on a name?"
"The pastry shop, let's call it Chengjia Pastry."
Cheng Qingwen looked at him and nodded, wrote on a piece of paper, stamped it with his official seal, signed it, and handed it over.
"Then I wish Miss Cheng good luck with your business."
"Thank you, Mr. Pavilion." Cheng Qingwan smiled, took the paper, put it away, and signed his name on the official book.
As soon as Yuanqi saw that everything was done, he took the people and left.
Before the two of them got on the carriage, they saw Su Yunwei chasing out, staring straight at Yuan Qi with a pair of shining eyes.
"Master Yuan, will you be back on the day of the Full Moon Wine?"
Yuan Qi took the hand of the person next to her and said with a smile: "If the pavilion chief is so kind as to send an invitation, I will definitely take Huan Huan to the banquet with me."
When Su Yunwei heard this, she immediately transferred her anger to the girl: "I heard that you opened a pastry shop, so you will be responsible for the pastries on the day of the full moon ceremony."
"The money comes first, and everything else is easy to figure out." Cheng Qingwen looked into her eyes with a smile: "There are only eight styles in the store. Of course, if you want to customize it, the price will be more expensive."
"If you open your mouth or shut up, you'll get money. You're such a country bumpkin."
Cheng Qingwen rolled her eyes: "When I'm in business, what's the point of talking about if I don't talk about price? How much I hate you?"
Su Yunwei was immediately offended: "With this attitude in business, you will definitely close down and lose everything..."
Cheng Qingwen was too lazy to pay attention to her, and held Yuan Qi's hand and got into the carriage.
"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Su Yunwei looked at the carriage getting further and further away and stamped her feet angrily.
Cheng Qingwen sat in the carriage and carefully looked at the documents in his hand, and found that he could only recognize a few simple ancient texts in them.
She put down the document decisively and took a sip of tea.
"How are the food and furniture arranged?"
"It's almost ready. The seats and benches are just waiting for the carpenter to deliver them."
Motoqi nodded, and then asked: "Have you found someone to check the future? When will it open?"
Cheng Qingwen was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment: "It seems... no, I'll go back and ask my mother-in-law to find an auspicious day to settle the matter."
After saying that, the carriage stopped.
Moanqi held her hand, slowly walked her off the carriage, and watched her walk in before leaving.
Cheng Qingwen walked into the house and saw them preparing to have dinner.
"Huanhan is back? I just made some noodles. I'll get them." As soon as Cheng Huaer saw her, he quickly ran to the kitchen and brought out the noodles: "Eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you, Auntie." Cheng Qingwen smiled and took the noodles, looking at the peeled chestnuts on the side: "Auntie, put the chestnuts in the kitchen first, I will steam them when I get up tomorrow morning."
The woman nodded and took the whole pot to the backyard.
Song Qiaoqiao sat aside and asked softly: "Where did you secretly go? Are you back so late?"
"Don't talk nonsense. When we went there, we happened to meet the pavilion chief's wife who was having difficulty giving birth, so we waited there for a while."
"Yes, we seemed to have met Su Yunwei who asked for a doctor this morning. Are the pavilion chief's wife, mother and son okay?"
"Mother and child are safe, they gave birth to a pair of twins, a dragon and a phoenix."
Song Qiaoqiao nodded and stuffed a mouthful of noodles into her mouth: "Then why didn't you stay there for dinner?"
Cheng Qingwen twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly and looked at the person in front of her: "Do you think I am someone who will eat at the same table as Su Yunwei?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cough at the door.
Everyone looked at Su Yunwei, still wearing the bright clothes from the morning, standing at the door with her hands on her hips.
"I heard you talking bad about me from afar."
Cheng Qinghan glanced at her and really didn't want to pay attention.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Tell me what it is."
Seeing her completely ignoring her, Su Yunwei said immediately: "I'm here to help my sister order cakes for Full Moon Wine. Bring out all the cakes in your store and let me try them."
Cheng Qingwen's face was full of questions, and she glanced at the sky outside: "Don't say our store is not open, even if it is open, it is not open at this time."
"Then when will you open the store?"
"It's not decided yet, please go back first. I'll definitely let you know when it opens."
Su Yunwei frowned when she heard this: "Hey, when will your date be set?"
When Lian Zhi heard this tone, he quickly smiled and smoothed things over: "We'll set a date after our store is decorated. It's getting late now, and it's not safe for girls to live outside. Why don't you go back first?"
Su Yunwei glanced at the sky, hesitated, then turned around and left.
While slurping the noodles, Cheng Qinghan gave Lian Zhi a thumbs up: "That's great. When she comes from now on, you will be the one to entertain her."
"Sister..."
Before Lian Zhi could say anything, he saw the girl running up the stairs in a hurry.
Cheng Qingwen walked for a day, and her slender legs were already sore. She sat on the wooden bed that had just been delivered and rubbed her calves.
By the time Song Qiaoqiao came up, she was already lying on the quilt and fell asleep, occupying the entire bed by herself.
Song Qiaoqiao tried to move her body, but it didn't move at all.
She sighed softly and turned around to go to another empty room.
The next morning, Cheng Qingwen woke up from the cold, and her quilt had been kicked to the ground.
"Qiaoqiao, quilt..."
She squinted her eyes and patted the bed next to her, but she felt a cold hand.
Cheng Qingwen immediately opened his eyes, glanced at the seat next to him, made sure no one was there, and then sat up.
She glanced at the gray sky outside to make sure she hadn't overslept, and then touched the bed next to her. There was no warmth at all.
It was impossible for Qiaoqiao to get up so early, and she couldn't get up at night, after all, there was no warmth at all.
The only possibility is that she didn't sleep here at all last night.
Cheng Qingwen casually put on a coat and walked to the next room.
When he opened the door, he saw Song Qiaoqiao's sleeping face.
She then closed the door with confidence and walked back.
"Huanhan, why did you get up so early?"
Cheng Hua'er and Aunt Liu were fully dressed and were about to go downstairs to make breakfast.
Cheng Qingwen yawned, shook her head and said, "I went to bed early last night. I didn't know Qiaoqiao was sleeping next door, so I came out to take a look. I went back to sleep for a while. It was too early."
"Okay, then breakfast is ready, I'll call you."
"Okay, by the way, grandma, we have to find the husband to calculate an auspicious day so that we can open the business."
Cheng Hua'er agreed and said as he went downstairs, "Okay, I'll go take a look today."
After Cheng Qinghan received the reply, he closed the door and went back to sleep.
The woman was grinding soy milk in the yard while laughing and chatting with the people in front of her.
"Two days ago, a matchmaker came to me and said it was time to find a husband for Qiaoqiao." Aunt Liu sighed, and then said: "Qiaoqiao is seventeenth this year, do you think I should?"
Should we take a look?"
"Well, you have to ask Qiaoqiao." Cheng Huaer arched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't know about Qiaoqiao. I only know that Huanyu is not in a hurry about the marriage. No matter how hard she urges her, it's useless."
"Don't you have Lord Yuan in your house? After the wedding, Lord Yuan will come to propose marriage."
"Not necessarily, everything is subject to change." Cheng Hua'er brought the ground soybean juice into the kitchen and put it into the pot to boil.
Before the stove was lit, I heard someone knocking hard at the door.
"Cheng Qinghan, open the door quickly!"
Cheng Hua'er's hands trembled when she heard the voice, and she quickly raised her head and said, "Isn't this voice the aunt of the pavilion chief's family? Why is she here?"
"I don't know either." Aunt Liu heard the call at the door: "How about we go out and ask?"
"Okay, let's go together."
With that said, the two walked to the door and opened it.
Su Yunwei was holding her hands and standing at the door arrogantly, followed by a little maid.
"Where is Cheng Qinghan?"
"She hasn't gotten up yet, do you have anything to do with her?"
Su Yunwei found a chair and sat down, and motioned to the maid to put the small wooden box on the table: "This is ten taels of silver. I want Cheng Qingwan to make me cakes."
Cheng Hua'er and Aunt Liu looked at each other, looked at the ten taels of silver and asked, "We haven't opened yet, so we can't make so many pastries."
"I didn't say you could ask for it. This is the deposit. I want her to make cakes for my sister's full moon ceremony. As long as she satisfies my sister, there will be ten taels of silver left."
"This... you should wait until she gets up before we talk."
"Hey, didn't she say that it's easy to negotiate even if you have money?" Su Yunwei folded her hands and sat like an uncle.
Cheng Huaer glanced at the person next to him as if asking for help, as if asking what to do.
"How about we wake up Huanwen." Aunt Liu took a deep breath: "It's just that Huanwen is angry and is afraid that this business will be ruined. It's better to wake up Qiaoqiao and ask."
"No, Qiao Qiao can't be the master, so let's let Huan Huan get up."
The two of them discussed it carefully, got Cheng Qingwan up from the bed, put on her clothes, wiped her face casually, and took her downstairs.
Cheng Qinghan's resentment is so high that she has to give way even when ghosts come.
She clenched her fists and asked the person in front of her: "What time is it now?"
"A quarter of a second." Su Yunwei blinked, not quite understanding why she asked that.
"You came here at just five o'clock? It's not even early for you." Cheng Qingwen was a little helpless and looked at the person in front of him: "Tell me, what's the matter? Finish talking and leave quickly."
Su Yunwei was confused when she heard this, but she still raised her chest and pushed the box over: "This is the deposit. If your cakes can satisfy my sister and brother-in-law at the full moon ceremony, there will be ten more
Two pieces of silver."
Cheng Qingwen didn't even look at it. He just wanted to get rid of her quickly so that he could go back to sleep: "I can't do it. Goodbye."
