Cousin Chitose Chitose

Jiang Yuanwan bit the pastry angrily, as if she mistook the pastry for Wei Yichen.

The pastry is sweet but not greasy, glutinous, and has a good taste. After one bite, it is the fragrance of lotus root.Jiang Yuanwan couldn't help slowing down her chewing speed, and began to savor it carefully.

"Cousin eat slowly, no one will grab you."

"You seem to know my preferences very well?" Every time Wei Yichen came here, the snacks and tea prepared for her were all her favorite flavors.

"It's not difficult to know what you like, as long as you put your heart into it."

Jiang Yuanwan felt a little complicated after hearing this.Attentively... These two words are easy to say, but how many people can really do it?

The smile on Wei Yichen's face deepened: "Cousin, it's not difficult to like me, is it?"

"Who wants to like you!" Jiang Yuanwan turned her head away.This person always looks polite in front of strangers, but if you get to know him well, you will find that he has a thicker skin than anyone else.

"It seems that my cousin doesn't want to see me very much, which is really sad. However, if my cousin wants me to make a move, she still has to play three games of chess with me."

"...Didn't you just talk about a plate?"

"Ah, I'm in a bad mood right now, so I've changed my mind."

"..."

Jiang Yuanwan has never figured out what the relationship between her and Wei Yichen is now.Mere allies?Or the pursuer and the pursued?

Although Wei Yichen made that suggestion, she didn't accept it, right?However, thinking of Marquis Changning's decision to cut first and play later, it probably doesn't make much difference whether she accepts it or not.

Although Jiang Yuanwan is good at chess, how old is Wei Yichen? Except for losing to her in the first game, she won the second and third games by a few pieces.

"My lord, it's time for you to rest." Seeing Wei Yichen's unfinished look, the servant reminded him from the side.

Although Marquis Changning had acquiesced in Wei Yichen's pursuit of Jiang Yuanwan, it would not be appropriate for Jiang Yuanwan to stay with Wei Yichen for a long time.

Wei Yichen couldn't stop thinking: "Cousin hasn't been out of the house for a long time, right? Next time, when I recover from my 'illness', I will take my cousin out to buy some new jewelry."

Jiang Yuanwan raised her forehead, she really wanted to go out, but she didn't want to go out with Wei Yichen, Wei Yichen didn't think there were enough rumors about the two of them!

"My lord, why do you like miss teasing so much?" the servant asked from the side.

There was still a smile on the corner of Wei Yichen's mouth: "Don't you think it's interesting to see her blowing up?"

The servant silently wiped off his sweat: "Then the son really likes Miss Biao?" Otherwise, why did he become more and more intimate with Miss Biao, and why did he not hide his true nature less and less?

"As I said, it's easy for me to fall in love with her."

After all, Wei Yichen didn't answer this question directly, and the servant couldn't be sure what he really thought in his heart at the moment.

……

Wei Yichen's efficiency was very high, so he gave orders. On the second day, his subordinates solved the matter of Qingyin's pharmacy for him.This kind of matter may be a big deal for ordinary people, but for Wei Yichen, it can be solved by raising his hand.

After Qingyin received the news from home, she was very grateful to Jiang Yuanwan and Wei Yichen: "In the future, I will definitely be a cow and a horse to repay Miss!"

Liu Yun heard the words and said: "Miss is not short of servants, if you are just an ordinary maid, it will be of no use to Miss."

Qingyin frowned: "What do you want to say?"

For this independent partner, Qingyin has never been able to see what she wants to do.

There is ambition in Liu Yun's eyes, and there is ambition that does not belong to a maid.Qingyin originally thought that Liu Yun would become the aunt of the Marquis of Changning or the young masters in the family by virtue of her appearance, but later, she discovered that Liu Yun had no intention of this at all.

Qingyin thought about it carefully, Liu Yun seemed to have decided to follow Jiang Yuanwan from the very beginning.During these days, she worked under Jiang Yuanwan's errand, and she did her best.

Liu Yun is very good at gathering intelligence.

Jiang Yuanwan once said that since Liu Yun came to her side, she has been informed a lot.In addition, Liu Yun likes to run outside the mansion when she has nothing to do, bringing all kinds of news from outside...

Qingyin shook her head, she really couldn't figure out what Liu Yun wanted to do.

Liu Yun raised the corners of her lips: "I want to say, after what happened today, you should understand that those who have no power and power can only be slaughtered. We are weak in front of those officials; The master is a weak person in front of the officials who are bigger than them; and similarly, the young lady is also a weak person in front of the entire Changning Hou Mansion."

Liu Yun's last words made Qingyin's heart tremble.But Jiang Yuanwan, how could she be a weak person?Although they came to the house for a short time, it can be seen that Jiang Yuanwan still has some weight in the house.Qingyin was about to refute, but Liu Yun said: "The Marquis of Changning has adopted Miss, when he is willing to treat Miss well, he will naturally do superficial tricks, but if one day he doesn't want to do such superficial tricks, no one can stop him he."

"A few days ago, the Marquis of Changning signaled people to spread the news that the son was in charge of the young lady throughout the Hou Mansion, so everyone knew that the son was pursuing the young lady. The young lady was clearly displeased with the behavior of the Marquis of Changning, but she Can't say anything, what do you think, why is that?"

"This is power. Because of the word power, the lady chooses to forbear."

Listening to Liu Yun's words, Qingyin's heart was shocked, she had to admit that Liu Yun's words were very reasonable.To be able to say such words, to have such insight...Liu Yun is really not easy.

Why would such a person recognize Jiang Yuanwan as his master?Does she really want to assist Jiang Yuanwan?

After a while, Qingyin heard her own voice: "It seems that you have already made up your mind, so you might as well say it out and listen."

"If I hadn't come to talk to you, how would you have planned to assist Miss?"

"Miss's mother's family has been in decline, and she lives in Changninghou's mansion, so she has no confidence. My pharmacy has a lady's help, so it can be preserved. Naturally, I want to repay the lady."

"Before my family suffered a disaster, my father and I had already discussed to open a new shop. My father's medical skills are good, and the medicinal materials used in my pharmacy are of good quality. The new shop will be opened soon. I I plan to ask my father to take care of the young lady at that time. First, the family business can be guaranteed. Ordinary drug dealers will not dare to suppress my shop for the sake of the young lady; Changning Marquis Mansion, the young lady can also increase her confidence."

Liu Yun's eyebrows softened a lot: "I really didn't misunderstand you." Qingyin is a smart person, and he is a person who knows how to repay you.

"Even Miss didn't think of this, but you thought of it. It's really amazing."

Qingyin said: "I think it's not that the young lady didn't think about this, it's just that she has no credible and usable people under her command. If that's the case, why don't we become the credible and usable people under the young lady's management?"

"Well said, if you can think like this, it's not in vain for Miss to spend all her time on you."

"You asked me this on purpose, but what's your plan?" Qingyin didn't think Liu Yun would do anything useless.

Liu Yun took a deep look at Qingyin: "In your shop, besides ordinary people, you can also get in touch with some low-level officials? How about cooperating with me to establish an intelligence base? You should know that Miss Changning's fate has nothing to do with it. The Marquis Mansion is closely related, and the Marquis Mansion of Changning is inextricably linked with various forces outside, if we can get the news in time, Miss can also make preparations for urgent matters as soon as possible."

Qingyin didn't know Jiang Yuanwan's real identity, so naturally she didn't understand why Liu Yun was so concerned about the important affairs in the court.

However, Qingyin thought, Jiang Yuanwan greatly appreciated Liu Yun's information about the court's movements a few days ago, so these information are really useful to Jiang Yuanwan, right?

"If Miss agrees, I have no objection." In the end, Qingyin said this.

……

After hearing Qingyin and Liu Yun's words, Jiang Yuanwan's face turned slightly warm: "It's hard for you, you can think about this for me."

"Miss, please don't say that. This time my shop was able to turn the crisis into safety, thanks to Miss's help. I am grateful in my heart. If I can do something for Miss, I will be very happy." Qingyin said earnestly: "Since I After becoming Miss's servant girl, I will share weal and woe with Miss in the future, and only when Miss is well can I be well."

"Since you plan everything for me, I don't want to let you suffer. Your family needs to spend a lot of money to open a new shop. Hongxing, go and give half of the private money I saved to Qingyin."

Qingyin quickly declined: "Why do you want Miss's money?"

"Since your family wants to open a shop, you might as well open a few more. It is considered that I bought the shop and ask you to take care of it for me. If the business fails, it will be counted on me; if it succeeds, it will be counted on us together. My respect to your father Although I don't know much about it, it must be very reliable for him to be able to teach a daughter like you. I believe in you, and I believe in him."

——I believe in you, and I also believe in him.

Just six words made Qingyin's eyes wet.Once again, Qingyin felt that it was her luck to meet Jiang Yuanwan.Since Jiang Yuanwan said she believed in her, what else would she have to worry about?

"Miss, don't worry, I will definitely ask my father to make good use of the money. On weekdays, when there is nothing to do in the mansion, I will go to the shop to have a look."

At this time, Hongxing had already brought over the silver, which was a full 3000 taels. If it was on the busiest street in the capital, the money would only be enough to open a shop. Open three or four.Qingyin took the silver and was already planning in her mind how to use the money so that it can play its greatest role.

Jiang Yuanwan calculated that besides this money, she had more than 3000 taels of silver with her, so why not spend 1000 taels of silver to buy a field, and 1000 taels of silver to set up a gouache shop until Fang Zhi and Fang Pei experienced it. , I gave them to practice their hands, and I kept 1000 taels for a rainy day.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yuanwan was able to save more than 6000 taels of silver, which was really due to Marquis Changning.Over the years, the Marquis of Changning has never treated Jiang Yuanwan materially badly. She has a share of any good things. some pocket money.

That's why Jiang Yuanwan couldn't blame Marquis Changning.Although Marquis of Chang Ning has the intention to use her many times, it is precisely because of Marquis Chang Ning's intention of using her that she can continue to be a noble daughter in the Hou's mansion.

……

The opening of the Tang's pharmacy branch made those who were about to watch the Tang's joke drop their jaws.Seeing that Tang's pharmacy is about to change hands, why did the rich and powerful businessman surnamed Zheng stop all of a sudden?

Not only did the Tang family keep their own shop, but they even opened a branch shop bustlingly, and the business became more and more prosperous.

Someone mysteriously said: "I heard that the Tang family has become a nobleman. It is because of the nobleman's help that Tang's pharmacy was able to turn the crisis into safety."

"Is it true? The Tang family are all ordinary people, and their hometown is still in a poor mountain valley. Can they climb up to the nobles?"

"Of course it is true. My uncle's sister-in-law's cousin's in-laws saw it with their own eyes. When Zheng Shangjia brought his official relatives to find trouble, the nobleman sent a servant to the Tang's pharmacy. The official lord Hearing that nobleman's name, his face turned blue, and he said that Zheng Shangjia harmed him, and he should never get involved in this matter again..."

As soon as the news spread, those people with ghosts in their hearts didn't dare to have any bad thoughts when they heard that this Tang's pharmacy was actually guarded by noble people.Ordinary people feel that this shop is more reliable, with nobles guarding it, those who find faults must not dare to mess around, and they can also be happy with the nobles when they come to buy medicine.

In this way, the business of Tang's pharmacy became better and better, and soon opened a second and third branch.

In this line of work, the most difficult thing is to make a name for yourself.Once the name is famous, there is no need to worry about no business coming.

Mr. Tang originally didn't understand the matter of his daughter selling himself into a wealthy family.But now, looking at the business that has expanded several times in just a few months, he has to agree with what his daughter said, "Back to the big tree to enjoy the shade".

He privately said to his daughter: "Miss Hou Fu has helped our family so much. Although it is difficult for us to repay her kindness, we must always remember her kindness in our hearts. You must do your best when you are serving a nobleman. As a father, I will also manage these shops well, so that the nobleman will not lose money."

Qingyin nodded: "Don't worry, father, my daughter understands. Father suddenly opened a few branches here, and it must be too busy. The lady has already told me to come and help father manage the shop when I have nothing to do on weekdays, so that I can open the shop in time." Let the lady know about the shop."

Liu Yun and Qingyin were in charge of recruiting staff for the branch.

Since Liu Yun wanted to establish a news channel through the pharmacy, she naturally had to be careful when choosing a partner.After the selection is over, she will come over from time to time to tune-teach-tune-teach.

Mr. Tang put the shop bought with Jiang Yuanwan's money under Qingyin's name, and asked Qingyin to take care of Jiang Yuanwan.Qingyin's deed of prostitution is in Jiang Yuanwan's hands, and putting the shop under Qingyin's name is equivalent to hanging the shop under Jiang Yuanwan's name.

When she first took over the shop, Qingyin was still in a hurry, but then everything gradually went smoothly.Qingyin is shrewd and capable, and is a good material for doing business. He quickly earned back the cost of opening the store and entered the profitable stage.

Liu Yun looked at the money on the account and said, "When the money comes, Miss will be surprised!"

Qingyin was not satisfied: "This is not enough, I have to earn some more money, so I can have the face to see Miss."
