The general's wife knows medicine
Chapter 104: Drought in Qianzhou
After Jinxiu Zhuang opened, Tang Peipei was busy every day.
The cloth that Tang Peipei brought back had been almost used up. Before it ran out, Tang Peipei had to ask Lu Lifeng to make another trip to Suzhou.
With the experience from last time, Lu Lifeng was obviously more confident.
This time, Tang Peipei gave Lu Lifeng eight hundred taels and asked him to purchase more mid-range and high-end goods based on the store's sales ratio.
Those housekeepers don’t have very high status, and they don’t have dedicated embroiderers at home, so they still have to order things out.
Tang Peipei's designs are more innovative, so they naturally attract many such customers.
At first, I only customized daily clothes, but later I saw that the styles of clothes here are very good, and Tang Peipei also provides customized services.
In other words, you can design clothes specifically for each person according to their body shape and appearance.
Therefore, those young ladies who want to attend banquets are willing to come to Tang Peipei to customize in advance.
This also brought Tang Peipei's business to a new level and became the feature of Jinxiu Zhuang.
Tang Peipei had not imported any cloth for making wedding dresses before, so this time she asked Lu Lifeng to bring some back.
Tang Peipei's shop is now on the right track.
Lu Xinyu's medicine has also been carefully cultivated and is growing well, which makes Lu Xinyu very happy.
Before Lu Lifeng leaves, I ask him to bring back more medicinal seeds, especially those that are not available at home.
The whole family feels that life now is still very promising.
Just when the family was happily making money, something big happened.
"Have you heard? There seems to be a drought in Qianzhou. I heard that there hasn't been a drop of rain for three months." Passerby A said.
"I heard that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Not to mention Qianzhou, even the capital has had much less rain recently." Passerby B said.
"Yeah, do you think there will be a major disaster in Qianzhou this time?" Passerby C asked.
Since he had nothing to do today, Ye Yunshu made an appointment with Ye Jingheng, Mu Jintang and Tang Peipei to have dinner together.
The four of them were sitting in a private room in Juxian Pavilion having dinner when they suddenly heard a discussion coming from next door.
Tang Peipei was stunned. Is it drought? Or Qianzhou?
Tang Peipei thought about Lu Xinyu's inexplicable attitude when she first came to Beijing. At this time, Tang Peipei had some idea in her mind.
"There is drought in Qianzhou. What does the court say?" Tang Peipei suddenly looked at Mu Jintang and asked.
Mu Jintang said: "This matter was only reported yesterday, and the emperor has not yet made a final conclusion."
Tang Peipei was curious, isn't this obvious? How else is there a need for a conclusion?
"Shouldn't this be used directly for disaster relief?" Tang Peipei said.
Ye Jingheng continued, "You don't know, we have been at war for the past few years, and the national treasury is not well-off now. I'm afraid we can't come up with much money for disaster relief at this time."
The national treasury is not sufficient, which is indeed quite difficult, but Tang Peipei still does not have a good impression of the emperor.
If the emperor really wanted to, and reduced spending a little, the people would have enough food to eat for several years.
Besides, if the emperor takes the lead in cutting down expenses, won't the people below follow suit? There are so many dignitaries in the capital, and there are many rich people. If everyone points, the money will come out.
In fact, to put it bluntly, I just don't want to live too badly. I've been used to a life of luxury and can't stand the simple meals.
"In fact, this matter can start from the backyard, but my current identity makes it difficult for me to do anything, and I am very restricted." Ye Yunshu sighed.
"Who told you to be so restrained?" The door was pushed open and a young man dressed like a scholar came in.
The other three people in the room quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Fifth Prince."
Only then did Tang Peipei realize that the man in front of her was actually the Fifth Prince, Ye Yunshu's fiancé.
She quickly followed suit and bowed, saying, "This humble lady greets the Fifth Prince."
Bai Heyi actually wanted to meet Tang Peipei for a long time, but Mu Jintang never said that the time was right.
Today, when he heard that his young fiancée had made an appointment to have dinner with someone, he thought of coming to see what kind of beauty she was that could so attract Mu Jintang, such a long-lasting iron tree, and make this thousand-year-old iron tree bloom.
Bai Heyi just stared at Tang Peipei, and was quite surprised by Tang Peipei's appearance.
Tang Peipei at this time is no longer the thin and weak Tang Peipei.
Now, she has a ruddy complexion, fair skin, and a pair of big watery eyes, like a pool of clear water. She has a beautiful face, fresh and refined, and her eyebrows and eyes carry a scholarly air.
She is truly a pretty beauty.
No wonder Mu Jintang was attracted to her. This woman and Jintang are quite a good match.
One is handsome and imposing, the other is beautiful and elegant.
Tang Peipei was actually very curious about Bai Heyi, so when Bai Heyi was looking at her, she did not avoid it and also looked at Bai Heyi.
Bai Heyi felt that Tang Peipei was a truly unique and interesting girl.
Seeing the two of them just staring at each other without doing anything, Mu Jintang quickly stood in front of Tang Peipei to block their eye contact.
I felt a little angry.
He was no longer as respectful to Bai Heyi as he had just been.
He said in a cold tone: "Why are you here?"
Bai Heyi didn't get annoyed, and found a seat to sit down. "I'm just passing by."
Then someone served him cutlery.
Bai Heyi took the cutlery and poured himself a cup of tea.
Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, he called out, "What are you doing? Sit down, sit down quickly, or the food will get cold if you don't eat it now."
As he spoke, he put some food into Ye Yunshu's bowl and said to him, "Yunshu, come and sit down. I heard this dish is new. Try it."
Tang Peipei's mouth twitched as he watched.
Mu Jintang pulled Tang Peipei to sit down and did not let go.
Tang Peipei felt that this person was acting so strangely at this moment.
Then, seeing that he was very unhappy with the Fifth Prince, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
This couldn't be Mu Jintang's true love! Look at him, he must be angry because his lover only cares about the beauty and not him! He is quite jealous.
Then Tang Peipei thought about the gay YYs from the previous time, and he couldn't help laughing.
Everyone looked at Tang Peipei again.
Mu Jintang asked directly with her eyes, what's wrong?
Tang Peipei adjusted her mentality, "It's okay, it's okay, you guys continue, continue~~ hehe..." How embarrassing!
Life in ancient times was so boring. There wasn't even any entertainment. She had just made a fool of herself.
Mu Jintang looked at Bai Heyi and saw him carefully picking out the fish bones for Ye Yunshu. The unhappiness in her heart just now slowly disappeared. Forget it, why bother with such an idiot.
Bai Heyi didn't know that Mu Jintang had scolded him as an idiot in her heart, and he was still happily serving Ye Yunshu dinner.
Ye Jingheng, Ye Yunshu's brother, couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Fifth Prince, are you here just to pick out fish bones for Yunshu?"
Bai Heyi glanced at Ye Jingheng and said, "Why? Are you jealous that I can pick out fish bones for my beloved girl? Then why don't you just go find one yourself?"
After saying this, Ye Jingheng admired his shamelessness.
Bai Heyi is thick-skinned, but Ye Yunshu, as a girl, is thin-skinned.
He immediately stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Bai Heyi stopped her and said, "Okay, I won't say anything. Don't leave yet. I have something to tell you."
Hearing Bai Heyi say that he had something to do, Ye Yunshu had no choice but to sit back down.
Tang Peipei couldn't understand the actions of the fifth prince at all and was completely confused.
