[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu

Liu Cui looked for the sound,

I saw a young man standing quietly in the crowded place, with red lips and white teeth, a handsome face, three points of calmness in his brows, three points of transparency, gentle and restrained, even more handsome than some celebrities in the previous life.

And the young man who was standing meekly in front of Liu Cui waiting for criticism just now rushed out and ran towards the handsome young man. The young man was not surprised when he saw it, he just stood there with a smile and stretched out his arms, waiting for him to hug him in his arms. They even made a small circle, the scene was really warm and warm.

Then the little boy didn't know what to say, the young man smiled and patted his head, very doting.

Liu Cui stared dumbfounded until Wuxu handed her a handkerchief: "Boss, wipe it off."

Liu Cui took it unconsciously, wiped the corners of her mouth seriously, and only realized halfway through the wipe. She was being tricked, and Liu Cui was so angry that she threw a handkerchief on Wuxu!

I'm not such a nympho! Liu Cui thought to herself.

Wuxu tried hard to keep his face sullen, not to let himself laugh.

Unexpectedly, the black skinny boy looks good when he is lively, but Liu Cui seems to seldom see the Wuxu smile, so he was caught off guard by the Wuxu smile, young is good~ Liu Cui immediately felt emotional.

But Liu Cui was still a little angry, and she wanted to educate the [-] Movement,

But from the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the young master walking towards Liu Cui and the two, so Liu Cui couldn't say anything more, so he had to stop. The young master approached Liu Cui and gave a junior salute, Liu Cui hurried back I gave a gift.

"Zou Ying, a junior from Jiangnan, this is Zou Jie. My brother has been naughty since he was a child, and he bumped into the two of you. I am really sorry. To express my apologies, I invite you to the restaurant in front of me for a drink. The two of you have been wandering around for so long, so it's time to find a place to rest." He behaved rationally, advancing and retreating with restraint, and this young man showed great self-cultivation in his gestures and gestures.

Zou Jie on the side also came to his senses, and embarrassingly chimed in: "Go, go, old madam, my brother is so generous, you guys are going to kill my brother today, and I will treat it as an apology to you. I'm sorry."

Liu Cui was just taken aback, it was nothing serious, she didn't want to pursue it, but after saying a few words, the daredevil planned to leave, so she wanted to wave her hand and refuse.But after thinking about it, seeing the two of them, unlike ordinary sons, it would be good to make friends.A shrewd businessman will never dislike himself for having few friends

Therefore, Liu Cui shied away and agreed. Anyway, it was only a meal, and there was no delay. Today they came out with a big family, and they wanted to play.

A group of four people and two servants walked to Guangyuan Restaurant in front.

Before entering the door, the shopkeeper of the restaurant trotted out and called "Young Master" to Zou Ying.

Liu Cui was slightly startled, seeing that the two brothers were dressed in luxurious clothes, they knew they were extraordinary, but they didn't expect this to be his family's property, it seems that this person has a lot of background.

Facing Liu Cui and Liu Cui, Zou Ying explained embarrassingly: "The capital is prosperous and there are many wealthy merchants. Opening a store here will make a good living. Secondly, it will be very convenient for my family to go to the city in the future."

Liu Cui nodded, expressing her understanding. Rich and noble families like to buy property everywhere.

Afterwards, several people went to a private room, and the shopkeeper personally served them. Zou Ying took the menu and asked, "What can you avoid?"

So Zou Ying felt relieved, and first ordered a few signature dishes recommended by the store. Liu Cui took the menu, because Liu Cui had never been to this store, so she casually ordered two items of interest, and Wuxu did not order.Zou Ying didn't like others to serve him, so the shopkeeper respectfully took the menu and went out.

The dishes were served in a short while, and the color, fragrance and taste were all good, which is worthy of being produced by the chef.

Zou Ying and Zou Jie should be the sons of the aristocratic family. Even though they are still young, their every move when eating is very elegant and pleasing to the eye. The difference from them is too big, and the jokes will only increase.

At this time, a lot of business is also negotiated at the wine table. Only noble families have such a pretentious rule of "no talking when eating or sleeping".

Therefore, the Zou family and Liu Cui had no taboos in this regard.

While eating, Zou Ying casually asked Liu Cui what kind of business they were in. Liu Cui was startled and became vigilant: during this time, her rouge was in the limelight in Beijing.Could it be...

Liu Cui had a few ideas in his mind, and then extinguished a few more, and finally replied with a simple smile: "It's not a big business, just open a small workshop, develop some rouge powder and sell it, and barely make ends meet."

Zou Ying would not really think of it as a "small workshop that barely makes ends meet", how could a workshop that produced such rare products be a small workshop.But this person is very vigilant, Zou Ying thought to himself.

But the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he just brought up the topic: "Meeting is fate. Although my Zou family's business is mostly in the south of the Yangtze River, there are also many industries in the capital. It is also a coincidence. My father also had the idea of ​​making rouge some time ago. If the old lady does not Dislike, in the future colleagues can communicate with each other and make money together.”

Colleagues are enemies!

Liu Cui was alert, and the hand that was picking up the vegetables stopped suddenly, but only for a moment, and then naturally picked up the vegetables into her bowl, and then smiled: "That's kind, I don't know what business the Zou family used to do. of"

"It's not bad to do some silk and cloth business, just for a living."

"I think it's very good. Mr. Zou is modest. Has your father come over this time?" Liu Cui asked.

"No, my father said, let us two brothers practice and experience, and come to the capital to broaden our horizons." Zou Ying looked modest.

Zou Jie on the side is much more straightforward: "My brother's business ability is no worse than my father's!"

"Oh~ that's also very good. Mr. Zou started to do housework at a young age. He is really young and promising! Unlike the boy in my family, he doesn't know how to do things at a young age." Liu Cui praised without hesitation. .

The success of future generations is the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity of a family.If the descendants of the Rongguo Mansion had half the ability of the young man in front of him, maybe he wouldn't have to go through this experience.

"Everywhere, everything is taught by my father."

"Brother is already very powerful, even Uncle Zhi praises you!" Zou Jie interjected. "That's uncle's kind words, don't take it seriously." Zou Ying explained.

"Tongzhi!" Liu Cui was a little surprised when she heard that.Tongzhi is the deputy of the magistrate, second only to the magistrate.Having said that, Yangzhou also belongs to the Jiangnan area, but I don't know which state this "Uncle Tongzhi" is in, Liu Cuisi asked.

At the moment, I am even more enthusiastic about this young man.

Although Zou Ying is young, he has traveled all over the world since he was a child and has seen a lot. Although Liu Cui has little experience, he can often come up with unique insights on certain issues.For a while, the two chatted very happily, and it seemed that they had forgotten their friendship.

Zou Jie occasionally interrupted with a wisecrack, which made everyone laugh out loud.

After a long time, Liu Cui saw that it was getting late, so she got up to say goodbye. Zou Ying and Zou Jie hurriedly got up to see her off. Before leaving, Zou Ying was reluctant to part: "The old lady has a good opinion. I had a good talk with the old lady. Why don't you Leave an address, when you are free in the future, walk around with each other?"

Just as Liu Cui wanted, Liu Cui smiled brightly: "You go to Sanxing Town outside the city to find me first, I opened the Liu family workshop, just ask someone and you will be there."

Zou Ying nodded and wrote it down, and said, "Then come to this restaurant and look for me. I'm usually here. When I'm not around, just ask the shopkeeper to pass the message."

Liu Cui looked up at the plaque, Guangyuan Restaurant.Also write it down.Let's say goodbye.

Liu Cui took Wuxu away in a sedan chair. Liu Cui noticed that Wuxu had not said a word since he met Zou Ying. He thought that he felt inferior when he saw such an excellent person, so he comforted him and said, "Don't be discouraged, you will grow up later." I will become a great person like him.”

Wuxu asked: "Really?" His eyes sparkled.

"Of course, everyone has infinite possibilities. As long as you dare to think and do it, you will definitely be able to do it!" Liu Cui touched the top of Wuxu's head and poured chicken soup skillfully.

"After the new year, I will invite you to come and teach you how to read and write, so that after you get out of slavery, you can take the imperial examination if you want to take the imperial examination, start a business, do whatever you want." Liu Cuichang thought In the future, at that time, I should be able to go back...

The two strolled around again, bought some things, and then returned to the meeting point. At this time, the dog and the others hadn't come back, so the two waited and waited. When all the people arrived, they hired a carriage and went back.

After returning home, when Liu Cui's family was gossiping, Liu Cui asked Gou'er to inquire about the origins of the Zou family. Those who could have a relationship with Tongzhi must not be ordinary people, so Gou'er agreed.

....................................

The three girls in spring, summer and autumn have been sold out since they were sensible, and they have been in the hands of all kinds of toothmaids. In the hearts of their parents, even if they say they are sold, they are sold, let alone in the hands of the cruel toothmaid. Ask for a living.

Every day is either beaten or scolded, and he has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world at a young age.

Therefore, these people also cherish their days working in Liu Cui's workshop. They are paid, have holidays, and can eat enough. Except for working every day, Liu Cui does not force them to do any work.Instead of being sold to that filthy place, you don't have to serve others, and you can live a good life by your own labor.

The girls are very contented and grateful to Liu Cui and others.In the same way, girls don't have to fight each other for favor. As long as they are willing to work and don't be lazy, they will have what others have. Therefore, the relationship with each other is very harmonious, and they often go in and out together.

Although Chunxiaqiu went to the capital to play together, they did not forget their little sister Dong'er.Therefore, when the three girls came back in the carriage, they immediately went to visit Dong'er who was not feeling well. thing.

He said softly: "Dong'er, this is the brown sugar that my sisters pooled together to buy you. Drink some when you come to the sunflower water, it will make you feel better." Just because of this matter, they had asked for leave, and these sisters were also very worried about Dong'er. People who have never been in pain can't understand that feeling.

In addition to telling interesting stories about shopping, the other sisters also talked about the precautions and various feelings of Kuishui here.The scene is so lively.

Dong'er didn't speak, just leaned on the head of the bed and listened to them with a smile.

Dong'er was also a girl who was called a "losing money" by her parents and then sold. Since she can remember, she has rarely been cared for by people like this, so Dong'er's eyes are red at this time, and she is very moved.

They talked for a while. Chun'er, who was the oldest and most mature, thought that Dong'er needed to rest more, so he asked everyone to be quiet so as not to disturb Dong'er. If they had anything to say later, they left.

But after a while, Liu Cui looked serious and came over surrounded by girls.

The author has something to say:

No words? Could it be that my writing is too plain?
