The guy sat down tremblingly and said, "Back to Bai Ye's words, that concubine of the Jiwang Mansion really met with the female family again, it seems that the female family of the Xue family wants to find an errand for her husband to King Ji." ” Bai Ye nodded, the expression on his face was relaxed and comfortable, and said, "I know, don't be slack off with those two." ” The guy said yes, and then asked, "Is Bai Ye Ming'er going back to Shaanxi?"
” The young man surnamed Bai said: "Originally, this was the plan, the business at that end could not be abandoned, and Uncle Qian would take care of the affairs here," he said, snapping and closing the folding fan in his hand, and pointed to the old man sitting on a chair beside him.
The fellow stood up and said yes and retreated respectfully.
Uncle Qian laughed and said, "Master Bai, why didn't you see the main master, and you are going back?"
” The corner of the young man's eyes was slightly bent, but he showed infinite elegance, and said: "After all, it is a British duke, although it is leisure, it is not something that you and I can see, I just look at his business in Beijing to see if I can cooperate, but now I unexpectedly know that his wife is a business talent," he said and turned his eyes to look at Uncle Qian: "Whether it is Yishan Zhai or that Guangjitang, she is well organized, Uncle Qian, I think I can promise that Li Huan." ” Uncle Qian's expression was not as relaxed as that of the young man surnamed Bai, he frowned and thought for a while, and said, "But if we let a person from Beijing like the British Duke intervene, I am afraid that it will eat away at our interests." ” "But if there is a British princess, the general military mansions of Datong and Xuanfu can also have a layer of skin," the young man surnamed Bai disagreed, and said: "And Uncle Qian, have you noticed?"
Although Yishanzhai is hot, it has not annexed the shops next to it in recent years, but has opened a branch in several other places in the city, if the shops on Zhuque Street are already prosperous, it can be understood, but Uncle Qian found that there was no original business depression on Furong Street, and no one cared about it, but since the branch of Yishanzhai opened, the business over there has also been booming!
” Uncle Qian's pupils instantly dilated, and he said: "What does Bai Ye mean is that the British man's habit of doing business is not only not to kill everything, but to be good at coexisting with other merchants?"
” The young man surnamed Bai bowed slightly.
Uncle Qian was even more surprised, this is not the style of ordinary nouveau riche, but like a Confucian merchant style inherited for a hundred years, I heard that the owner of Yishan Zhai is a British duchess, he can't help but guess this woman.
At the same time, in a different place, another woman was also thinking about the British Duchess in her heart.
The woman looked about forty years old, combed her black hair into a woman's bun, not messy at all, inserted two hostas, did not apply a little fat powder on her face, and wore a collar of ochre-colored dark stripes with large sleeves, inside was a summer silk stand-up collar shirt with lake green piping, with a white jade flat square pinned to the neckline, with her gentle face, and that elegant conversation, at a glance, you can know that she is not an idle person.
This female guest is none other than Mr.
Feng, who teaches in the British government.
She picked up the tea bowl in her hand and gently sipped the fragrant tea, and glanced at the young British duchess sitting upright without a trace out of the corner of her eyes.
Mr.
Feng reads and knows etiquette, and he is also very transparent in seeing people, so he understands that people have the same benefit, that is, people respect me a foot, and I respect people.
Mr.
Feng slowly put down the porcelain tea cup in her hand, and did not hear the sound of the porcelain bumping, "This Hangzhou white chrysanthemum tea soup is clear and yellow, the aroma is thin, and the end is of the highest quality. ” Jinghe smiled slightly when she heard this, with Mr.
Feng's teaching, Sister Xin not only did not show displeasure and resentment towards the birth of her brother, but added two points of calm bearing as a sister, which is equivalent to solving Jinghe's big problem, and Jinghe is naturally grateful.
She smiled and said: "I asked someone to add some brown sugar and honey to the tea, the brown sugar is warm, and the honey is blended, which can slightly reduce the coldness of chrysanthemum tea." ” Sister Xin was originally sitting on the side, and when she heard the words, she whispered: "Mrs. said, Mr. often reads, often drink white chrysanthemum tea can nourish the liver and eyes, fresh and strengthen the brain, but also quench thirst, clear heat and detoxify, is the most suitable, Mrs. also taught me this method, and I will soak it for Mr. to drink." ” When Mr.
Feng heard this, he cast a look of approval at Sister Xin, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. is full of medical books and is the best at health preservation, and now I see that this is the case, even the eldest lady is also good at pharmacology, and often advises me on some health preservation." ” Sister Xin was like an idol to Mr.
Feng, and when she heard Mr.
Feng's praise, she smiled and lowered her head, showing two points of shyness and three points of joy on her face.
Jinghe also smiled and said: "She has a good memory, and she is also thorough in pharmacology, and she thinks that she is also taught by her husband," she paused, and said: "I heard that Mr. is going to leave for Jiangsu next month?"
” Mr.
Feng nodded and said, "It is for this matter that I asked my wife to resign, my brother is celebrating his fiftieth birthday, thinking that his younger siblings have not seen each other for many years, so he wrote a letter to ask me to go back and get together." ” Presumably Mr.
Feng also felt a little homesick, Jinghe secretly thought, Mr.
Feng has been here for more than half a year, it is time to go back to the south, she smiled: "This is also how it should be, my grandfather has a very trustworthy grandmother since he was a child is also from the south, and it happens that he is also going to return to his hometown, it is better to ask Mr.
Feng and the old lady to work together, so that they can take care of each other." ” Jinghe's mouth in the mouth of the old lady Mr.
Feng knows, it is the prestige of the house Aunt Ji, because of her age, Miss Ji misses her hometown and grandson Riche, and mentioned several times that she wants to go back to the south, but the British duke has never agreed.
Such a grandmother who is valued by the British public returns to the south, presumably the British Guild will try her best to arrange a human escort, and maybe she will go on the road with the people in the army, and go with her, there is no need to consider the safety issue, and the food and accommodation along the way will not be treated, which is naturally the best.
She thanked her first, and then turned her eyes to see that Sister Xin'er had a nervous look on her face, most of which was reluctant to go by herself, and then looked at the British Duchess, although her expression was gentle and dignified, she couldn't help but show a little retention, so she said: "Madame, not only is the medicinal tea here delicious, but the snacks sent every day are also the best," Although Mr.
Feng has never been flattering and quiet, she is also polite, but perhaps she has been widowed for many years, has a cold personality, and does not talk much, and said jokingly at the moment, "I must not be used to going back this time, but I am afraid that I will have to worry about this snack every day." ” Jinghe couldn't help laughing, and instantly understood what Mr.
Feng meant, and cast a little more comfort in Sister Xin'er's gaze, and said: "It's good, with this snack, I don't have to worry about keeping you." ”
