The general's wife knows medicine

Princess Qinghe sighed helplessly and said, "How about this, bring her to see me some other day when you have time."

Princess Qinghe paused and said, "By the way, remember to bring my grandson with you."

Mu Jintang was about to agree happily, but when he heard Princess Qinghe's next words, he suddenly wilted.

"Well, mother, I may not be able to bring the little dumpling to see you now."

Qing He got angry when he heard this and asked, "Why is that?" He had clearly already given in, so why couldn't he even see his grandson?

Mu Jintang had no choice but to say awkwardly: "Peipei still doesn't know that I am Xiaotuanzi's biological father." After saying that, he touched his nose embarrassedly.

Princess Qinghe was so angry at her own son that she laughed.

I even felt that what my son did was very unkind.

Princess Qinghe waved her hand at Mu Jintang with a headache, asking him to go out first as she wanted some peace and quiet.

At this time, Tang Peipei on the other side didn't know that she had been sold out by Mu Jintang.

I was happily tidying up and planning the layout of the shop.

Seeing that the backyard was pretty good, I thought of turning it into a workshop.

Let the aunts come here to work every day by horse-drawn carriage, and go back together after work.

There are many carriages at home, which is convenient.

When the time comes, the finished clothes can be sold directly from the shop, which will be much more convenient.

But someone will have to be left to guard the shop. Tang Peipei has a candidate in mind, but she still has to go home and discuss it with her family.

Tang Peipei is now thinking about another thing, that is, she needs more than two full-length mirrors.

She didn't want the bronze mirrors that we have now because she felt they weren't clear enough. She wanted to make two modern mirrors.

But the raw materials are not easy to find.

There is no memory of glass in Tang Peipei's memory.

It seems that Liuli has appeared. Tang Peipei saw it last time in Suzhou.

When Lu Lifeng cleaned up the backyard, he saw Tang Peipei standing there in a daze with a broom in her hand.

Asked: "Peipei, what are you thinking about?"

Tang Peipei said: "I'm wondering where I can find colored glaze, a large piece of colored glaze."

When Lu Lifeng heard Tang Peipei say that she was looking for Liuli, he asked curiously, "That thing is very valuable. What are you looking for it for?"

Tang Peipei said: "To make a mirror."

Lu Lifeng has never heard that colored glaze can be used to make mirrors. Don't people all use bronze mirrors?

"Can you?"

Tang Peipei came back to his senses at this time and said, "Oh, I saw it in a book. It said that the mirror made by this method is clearer than the bronze mirror and can see more clearly."

Lu Lifeng knew that Tang Peipei liked to read some books when she had nothing to do, so he did not doubt what Tang Peipei said.

He just said, "I heard that a small cup costs one tael of silver. If you want to make a big one, it will probably cost dozens of taels, right?"

Tang Peipei was thinking, someone has to do it for dozens of taels? I don't even know who to ask for it.

I felt a little disappointed.

Said: "It seems we'll talk about it later."

After Tang Peipei finished cleaning downstairs, she went upstairs.

Although the shop is not big, the work upstairs and downstairs still makes Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng exhausted.

Tang Peipei went to buy two bowls of wontons, and the uncle and nephew sat on the doorstep of the store and started eating.

"Has Peipei decided how to organize the store? And have you decided on a name for it?"

Tang Peipei probably had a plan in mind, and said, "I plan to build a production line in the backyard and invite my aunt and the others to work in the store. I will make a private room upstairs for the young ladies from wealthy families. I will also partition off two small rooms downstairs for people to try on clothes. When the time comes, I may have to trouble my uncle and aunt to move into the store to live."

When he heard that he wanted to move into the store, Lu Lifeng agreed without hesitation.

Tang Peipei asked: "Uncle, don't you need to go home and discuss this with Aunt? Aren't you afraid that Aunt won't agree with you then?"

Lu Lifeng said with a straight face: "Hey, you silly girl, you are making fun of your uncle."

Tang Peipei stuck out her tongue at Lu Lifeng.

Lu Lifeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, your uncle still has some dignity."

Tang Peipei complained in her heart: He is not majestic at all. He must have agreed so readily because he knew that my aunt would not refuse.

Seeing Tang Peipei's face full of disbelief, Lu Lifeng felt very regretful. How could he become so unworthy of a head of the family in the eyes of the younger generation?

In order to maintain his position as the head of the family, Lu Lifeng first adjusted his posture and facial expression.

He said, "When you go back tonight, your uncle will let you see your authority as the head of the family."

Tang Peipei wanted to roll her eyes, but she managed to hold it back and had to remind Lu Lifeng of a reality.

"Uncle, what's the matter? Are you trying to go past grandpa?"

Lu Lifeng felt that this niece was also a problem.

If my father heard this, he would be skinned alive if not dead.

Lu Lifeng quickly scolded: "Don't say such nonsense."

Tang Peipei knew it, but she still smiled and comforted her uncle, "Oh, uncle, don't worry, I will never say anything nonsense."

After saying this, he made a cross with both hands near his mouth, to show that he was most correct and didn't say anything nonsense.

Then he added: "Uncle, being afraid of your wife is not a bad thing. It is a sign of loving your wife. I even think that uncle is more manly in this way!"

When Lu Lifeng heard this, he instantly felt happy.

"You are right. Being kind to a daughter-in-law is a traditional virtue of our Lu family. Hehe..."

Tang Peipei thinks this uncle is really cute sometimes!

Seeing that it was almost dark, the two men closed the door and returned to the village.

In the following days, Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng traveled back and forth between the Wolf Hunting Village and the city.

Tang Peipei first found Tong Yao and gave all the carpentry work in the store to him.

Because there are too many things, Tong Yao can't do it alone.

So Tang Peipei directly gave the task to him. He would find the person and just had to ensure that everything was completed as required within five days.

Generally, this kind of carpentry work costs sixty cents a day.

Tang Peipei paid seventy cents a day.

All the wood was provided by Tang Peipei.

Because fresh wood cannot be used directly to make furniture, it has to be stored for at least a period of time before it can be used.

Tang Peipei had no choice but to buy it from the wood shop.

In order to run the store well, Tang Peipei specially selected the finest pear wood furniture for the private rooms, which was a huge investment.

Tang Peipei wanted to do his best to open the shop this time, so he went to every street and alley to find Liulichang.

Finally found out that there was none!

Tang Peipei pinched her sore calf, feeling a little annoyed.

How could the capital city, which is so big, not have Liulichang? She had clearly seen it in Suzhou.

Although they are glass beads, they are made of glass after all. It is impossible that there is no Liulichang.

But Tang Peipei forgot that Suzhou was Daqing's trading center. People traveling from the south to the north, and even from foreign vassal states, would come to Suzhou to trade.

Therefore, it is only normal to see glass beads in Suzhou.

What Tang Peipei didn't know was that glass was a tribute from the vassal states, so glass cups would never appear in the market.

Not to mention that Tang Peipei not only wanted to make a glass cup, she also wanted to use the glass to make a mirror.

Tang Peipei really had no choice but to think that Mu Jintang must have some way of knowing where Liulichang was.

So he packed up his things and went to the general's mansion.
