subdued Hongshan, which made Yuxi feel good.
Yuxi said a few more words: "Your cousin is bitter, but the most important thing is that she is timid, so she was trampled under her feet." "The old lady's personal maid must have two brushes, so the possibility of weakness is ruled out, and the only thing left is that she is afraid of being abandoned, and she will give in again and again when she has scruples in her heart. It's a pity that others will not be grateful for your concessions, on the contrary, these people will only gain an inch. This is the lesson she learned in her last life.
Hong Shan was a little shocked in her heart, she didn't say what kind of person her cousin was from beginning to end: "How does the girl know that my cousin is timid?"
Yuxi chuckled: "Your father is a person with a head and a face in the Guogong Mansion, and he will be afraid of a lifter? Your cousin swallowed her anger, she must have some scruples." ”
Hong Shan smiled bitterly: "What the girl said is that my cousin is afraid that she will suffer from being divorced, so she will make compromises. Now she has agreed to her cousin-in-law's concubine. ”
Yuxi said: "Your cousin's concession will only make your cousin-in-law's family worse, and her hard life is still to come." ”
Hongshan's heart froze, she looked up at Yuxi and said, "Girl, I didn't have my cousin's Buddha before, I want to help her." ”
Yuxi thinks that Hongshan can repay her kindness and has a good temperament: "You sue your cousin, you are afraid of being stunned, you are afraid of being stunned, and you are afraid of dying." There are so many people in the world, there are not many more than your cousin-in-law, and there are not many less than him. As long as your cousin dares to open up, it will not be your cousin who will be afraid at that time, but your cousin-in-law's family. "Not to mention a lifting person, even if he is a jinshi who has won an official, if he has no foundation, he can be torn off at any time.
Hong Shan was shocked when she heard this, and kowtowed to Yuxi: "Thank you girl for your advice." ”
Yuxi smiled: "Don't be busy kowtowing to me. If your cousin doesn't dare, I'm saying this in vain. "In fact, as long as you can stand up, you are not afraid of anything.
Thinking of what happened in her previous life, Yuxi was in a bad mood, and it was said that she would become an angry bag in her previous life because she was too weak. Like now, who of the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion dares to show her face?
On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Mr. announced a holiday, and the holiday extended to after the Lantern Festival, which is equivalent to saying that there are more than 20 days of vacation.
Yuxi didn't get lazy because of the holiday, and still honestly finished writing the big characters that night, and then took out the chess game to ponder.
Shen's mother couldn't help but say, "Girl, didn't Mr. Song say that your painting skills are good? Why don't you paint more?"
Yuxi said simply and clearly: "Not interested." "No matter how good the painting is, it can't become a famous artist, in fact, even if Yuchen's paintings were sold for a thousand gold later, it was because of her identity, not because her paintings were really worth the money.
Yuxi knows how many catties she has, she has good qualifications, but she is only higher than ordinary people, and she is far from Yuchen. And a person's energy is limited, if you want to learn everything, you can't learn anything well. So now, in addition to learning in the classroom, Yuxi spends his spare time on chess and embroidery, and painting is only incidental. Learning chess is to better exercise her abilities in all aspects, embroidery because she has a deep foundation in this thing, as long as she spends a little time to do it, she can do it well, saving time and trouble.
Shen's mother didn't flinch from Yuxi's words, but said: "Girl, you still have to learn painting well, and in the future, the girl will be able to get a handle when she goes out to socialize." In fact, Shen's mother thinks that it is better to learn a musical instrument, so it sounds good to say. It's just that no matter how she persuades her, Yuxi is unwilling to learn.
Ok-hee didn't want to listen to Shen's mother's nagging anymore, and she couldn't understand why it was right to do what they wanted. No, it is only right to follow the path set by the old lady. It's enough to have one Yuchen, so why bother with her again: "You can also see that I am very busy every day and have no time to paint." ”
Shen's mother glanced at Yuxi, saw that there was no displeasure on her face, and said, "As long as the girl doesn't spend all her time on chess, she will have time to draw." ”
Yuxi's face pulled down even his family: "What to learn and what not to learn, I know in my heart, I don't need you to teach." She was given three points of face, and a dyeing workshop was opened.
Mother Shen was choked by Yuxi's ruthless words, and her face turned red.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Fang's mother entered the house.
Fang's mother is now wearing a new pine-colored long jacket, combing a round bun, a red gold hairpin on her head, and gold earrings on her ears, looking like a rich old lady of the family.
Yuxi saw Fang's mother and said with a smile: "These days, it's hard for my mother." ”
Mother Fang touched the long hairpin on her bun and said with a smile: "It's also a blessing for the girl." "The people in the Guogong Mansion all watch people put dishes on the dishes, if she comes in plainly dressed, everyone will definitely look down on her. Now that she deliberately wears such a rich and noble home, it can also make everyone believe that her bun shop is making money.
Yuxi waved everyone away, leaving only Fang's mother alone in the house, and said, "Mom, did you bring all the things I asked you to bring?" Yuxi made a list for Fang's mother before and asked her to buy the things listed on the list.
Mother Fang pointed to the package she brought, and said, "Girl, you have brought it all!" Girl, what are you buying these things for?" The list made by the girl was also strange, what kind of bitter ginseng, centipede, musk and other things she wanted, among which musk and centipede had to be powder.
Yuxi didn't hide words from the other mother, and said: "I accidentally saw a prescription for removing scars in an ancient book and wanted to give it a try." If it's really made, I'll sell the recipe at that time, so that we will have more money on our hands, and my mother won't have to work so hard. ”
Fang's mother felt that Yuxi was a bit childish: "Girl, it cost me more than forty taels of silver to buy these medicinal materials." Can this jade paste be sold back to Benma?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "If you don't try, how do you know? If you really make the ointment, we will earn it when the time comes." "Not to mention the kind of jade ointment in the palace, only a box of good scar removal ointment on the market costs several taels of silver. If she really concocted this ointment, she would definitely be able to sell it for a good price.
The things that Fang's mother bought were not complete, and the pharmaceutical paste was missing a taste of medicinal herbs, pearl powder. However, the price of pearl powder is too expensive, and it is not cost-effective to buy it outside, so Yuxi wants to get it in the house.
Fang's mother was a little distressed and said, "I'm afraid of losing." "The main reason is that Mother Fang doesn't believe that Yuxi can concoct any scar-removing ointment at all, she feels that Yuxi is swasting money.
Yuxi said with a smile: "If you can boil it out, it will be a million profits, and if you can't boil it, it will only be a loss of dozens of taels of silver." I can still afford to lose this money. Yuxi wants to use the money from selling ointment to buy an industry, but she is not ambitious, so she wants to buy one or two shops, and buy one or two hundred acres of fertile land, so as to ensure that she has plenty of money and no longer worries about money.
Fang's mother knew that Yuxi had a big idea, and she couldn't stop it, so she said immediately: "Girl, now the business of the bun shop is getting better and better, and it will make more and more money, and it made a profit of more than forty taels of silver last month!"
Yuxi nodded and said, "Mom, the recipe for this bun filling can't be known." Otherwise, someone will fight in the ring. ”
Fang's mother smiled and said: "The girl is too careful, but it's just a matter of stuffing, where is it worth coveting." ”
Yuxi looked at Fang's mother with a disapproving look on her face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is also fortunate to have the signboard of the Guogong Mansion, and there is a steward to take care of outside, otherwise with Fang's mother's thoughts, the steamed bun shop would have closed long ago: "Fang's mother, the recipe for the steamed bun filling can't be told to others, unless it is a deed in your hand." "Holding the deed of identity is equivalent to mastering the power of personal killing, and I don't worry about betrayal.
Mother Fang listened to Yuxi's words, and said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Girl, if I want to bring an apprentice, I will teach her to make steamed buns?"
When Yuxi heard this, she immediately asked, "Mom has a candidate?" If there is no candidate, Fang's mother will not tell her directly.
Fang's mother nodded and said, "Well, that child's name is Xiaowei, she is twelve years old this year, and she lives on Shangyuan Street, not far from my shop." Xiaowei is a well-behaved and filial child, very likable and a quick learner. If I teach her, I believe she will be able to become a teacher in less than three months. ”
Yuxi asked, "How did Mother Fang meet them?"
A smile appeared on Fang's mother's face: "Xiaowei's mother often comes to buy steamed buns, and she has known each other since she came and went. "Actually, Fang's mother and Xiaowei's mother also have a good relationship, and the relationship is very good.
When Yuxi heard that he met by buying steamed buns, he didn't ask anything else, and asked the core question directly: "Did the other party agree to sign the deed of sale?"
Fang's mother shook her head and said: "Girl, Xiaowei has already promised someone, how can she sign a deed of sale!" But both families have agreed, as long as I accept Xiaowei, even if she gets married in two years, she can continue to work in the bun shop, as long as she pays her salary every month. ”
Yuxi looked at the smile on Fang's mother's face and sighed slightly in her heart. Nine times out of ten, this person is looking at the steamed bun shop to make money, and he has the idea of the steamed bun filling recipe. It's not that Yuxi underestimated Fang's mother, only from Mo Ju and Mo Tao, who were trained by Fang's mother, she knew that Fang's mother was not a person with a heart, even if she was calculated, she didn't know: "I can't teach." "This will directly say that you can't teach, not that you can't teach if you don't sign a deed of sale.
The smile on Fang's mother's face froze suddenly: "Girl, why can't you teach? That child is really good, filial and sensible." ”
Yuxi was keenly aware that there was something going on here: "Mom, do you have anything to say yet?"
Fang's mother said a little unnaturally: "Xiaowei, this child is very likable, I have promised to recognize her as my goddaughter." ”
