The Strong Wife from Peasant Family

Chapter 25 Father and son meet, Beauty Pavilion opens

The young scholar exclaimed, "My painting."

The person holding the scholar's body frowned and said expressionlessly, "If you want to die, I won't stop you."

When the words fell, he immediately let go of the young scholar. The young scholar fell to the ground, fell to the ground, gnawed at the mud, and pouted twice: "Why are you like this, you don't say a word when you let go."

"What did you say?"

The man's body was full of majesty, and the young man immediately stopped and said hesitantly, "No, it's nothing..."

Xu Han ignored this person and snorted coldly, watching the carriage that had just dashed over the whole street, but the carriage had no intention of stopping, and more innocent people were injured. , Xu Han stepped a little, and ran after him. Compared with the galloping horse, Xu Han was naturally a step behind.

Xu Han's face turned cold, he guessed on the roof of the car, turned over, and stood firmly on the ground. The horse couldn't stop for a while because of the gallop. Seeing that the carriage was about to hit Xu Han, Xu Han aimed at the opportunity and pulled Hold the horse's reins and use all your brute force to stop it.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xu Yingyong asked the driver in a deep voice what was going on outside.

The driver was still in shock at the moment, and when he was asked this question, he came back to his senses, "General...General..."

"What's the matter?" The driver who asked this question didn't know how to answer.

Xu Han retracted his hand, covered the reins that were pulled out due to too much force, and said to the inside of the carriage: "Did this general not realize that because of your carriage, many innocent people suffered heavy losses?"

Looking around, the whole street is extremely messy. All kinds of hawker stalls are scattered, and the hawkers who were killed by the carriage are now really complaining and cursing. "Who is so arrogant, to actually drive a carriage in this busy city, it's really harmful."

"It should be said that we are unlucky. Which arrogant royal family and relatives have met, and those people have never done a good thing except for our common people."

"..."

The scolding became more and more intense, although no one thought that the person in the car was a famous heroic general of the dynasty. But when he heard people swearing behind this, his face moved and he said to the driver: "Go down and tell them. Let them count their belongings, and let them go to the heroic general's house to get them."

The coachman was ordered to get off the carriage to convey the matter. Xu Han heard that the person in the car reported the name of the heroic general's mansion. Thinking that the coachman just called the old general, and looking around the capital, there are countless generals.

But Xu Yingyong was the only one called the old general.

Thinking of something, Xu Han's expression turned cold, and he cupped his hands, "Thank you, General Xu, for being sympathetic to these hawkers. Xu is here to thank you on their behalf."

"Xu... Your surname is Xu too?" Xu Yingyong lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. It happened to meet Xu Han's dark and dazzling eyes.

He looked at Xu Han, looked at the official he was wearing, twitched his half-white beard, and praised, "Yes, yes, to be in this position at such a young age, as expected of my Xu clan..."

It was obvious that Xu Yingyong regarded Xu Han as a member of his own clan.

After all, there are not many generals with the surname Chen in this capital, and the Xu family is originally a big family. Apart from his main sect, there are naturally many branches, and he asked excitedly; "By the way, which branch are you from? Who are the parents?"

Xu Han's work for a while, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, "Reporting to General Xu, I am not a member of the Xu clan."

At least, he is not now.

Xu Yingyong sighed in disappointment, "It's okay."

Saying goodbye to Xu Yingyong, Xu Han turned a corner and went to an alley with few people. Just as he was about to sort out the messages he had received, someone grabbed his elbow.

When he turned around and saw that it was the young scholar just now, he frowned and said, "Why are you? I rescued you just now, so you didn't thank me, what else do you want to do now?"

The young scholar was stunned by Xu Han's deep eyes. He didn't hear what Xu Han was saying for a while. His face was red, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry just now, I didn't mean it."

If someone is attacked by someone without any precautions, the mood will be better, not to mention...

The young scholar secretly glanced at Xu Han, and when he saw Xu Han's eyes looking towards him, he immediately bowed his head in embarrassment.

Xu Han felt that the person in front of him was very weird, and he couldn't tell what was weird, but the feeling this person gave him made him very disgusted.

"I don't blame you, I still have something to do, so I'll say goodbye first." After the words were finished, Xu Han hurried away, as if someone was chasing him behind him.

"Hey...don't go, you haven't told me your name yet." Seeing Xu Han leaving, the young scholar chased after his legs without saying a word. After exiting the alley, Xu Han was nowhere to be seen. .

The young book stamped his feet angrily, and when he was about to curse, a voice sounded not far from him, "Miss, I finally found you."

The young scholar was so frightened that he saw who was coming, and ran away with his legs.

At this moment, in the heroic general's mansion, the mistress of the general's mansion, Mrs. Yu, sobbed in a low voice in front of Xu Yingyong, "Fortunately, General, you came back safe and sound, otherwise, how would you live with the rest of us? "

Xu Yingyong couldn't stand Mrs. Yu's set of things the most, and waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, in front of so many people, you can't calm down for me, people who are only a few decades old, and who are still crying, spread the word. Stop laughing."

"Who of them dares to laugh at me?"

Xu Yingyong was choked, glared at Mrs. Yu, and hummed, "Let the eldest daughter-in-law prepare the money later."

"What kind of money are you prepared for?" Yu shi went to see Xu Yingyong for unknown reasons.

Xu Yingyong's face was red and white, and he said: "Let you and the eldest daughter-in-law prepare the money, and you can just tell me, why are there so many problems? Besides, let the eldest daughter-in-law be polite to others."

Without making it clear, Xu Yingyong got up and left on the spot, as if remembering something, and then turned back, "The emperor will send someone to send the reward in a while, so I can prepare for it."

Yu shi laughed several times, "Yes, General, my concubine knows."

As soon as Xu Yingyong left, the smile on Mrs. Yu's face quickly disappeared. Asked the powerful mother beside him: "Have you done what you have been instructed to do?"

"Madam Hui, things have been done. Don't worry." Mrs. Lai respectfully.

"That's good, don't let the general know about this matter, otherwise..." A look of viciousness flashed on Mrs. Yu's face, "Just in case, please remind me carefully, no matter who the person in the mansion is, Don't spread that thing again. Otherwise, they will all be beaten to death."

Mrs. Lai responded and stepped back to do this.

but. What made Yu shi think is that this not only failed to hide what she wanted to hide, but also let Xu Yingyong know earlier.

With Xu Yingyong's previous greeting in front, when the hawkers who had lost a lot of money because of Xu Yingyong came to the door. Reported the money lost by his peddler. The compensation was soon doubled.

Looking at the hawkers in the hall, Mrs. Yu's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Su, was a little ashamed of her father-in-law. She didn't expect that the father-in-law would do such a childish thing at such a young age.

After paying everyone compensation, Mrs. Su went to talk to Mrs. Yu about the matter. Mrs. Yu lowered her eyes and didn't react much, "Since it's settled, don't mention it again."

Su Shi nodded, "Then..."

"You should retire first. The maid-in-law should be here in a while, and you are ready to prepare."

Since Xu Han has seen Xu Yingyong with his own eyes, it is inevitable that he has some resentment towards the father he has never seen before. Besides, there is also a deep sadness. This sadness does not come from elsewhere, but is officially due to the relationship of the An family.

"Xianggong, what's the matter with you? I seem to be a little uneasy today?" Lin Liangchen noticed Xu Han's strange emotions as soon as he came back. This expression seemed to have a serious problem. Xu Han looked at it in astonishment. Lin Liangchen glanced.

After laughing; "Oh, I'm fine."

"Is it all right?"

Xu Han nodded, "Then I won't ask, but Xianggong, are you sure you want to hide it from me?" Lin Liangchen blinked, staring at Xu Han intently, Xu Han was hairy when Lin Liangchen looked at him, and he hesitated. ; "It's not to hide it from you, but it really has nothing to say."

Should he tell Lin Liangchen that his son resented Xu Yingyong's biological father?

"Oh, since that's the case, then change your clothes and prepare to eat. The kitchen is ready."

Looking at Xu Han's expression, Lin Liangchen could also feel it, Xu Han really couldn't say it, and since that was the case, Lin Liangchen couldn't force him, smiled at him, and asked someone to bring the food to the table. "

Ever since Xu Jun pointed out that Xu Han was the son of the heroic general, there was indeed a period of time in the capital that this news was secretly circulated. According to the facts, of course, it cannot be arbitrarily spread.

However, there were several princes in the back to win over Xu Han, and there was also the involvement of Prince An's mansion. The fact that Xu Han was the son of the heroic general was half-truth from the outside world, and turned into a top ten. What is really lacking now is the real evidence. .

Many people say that this is definitely impossible, but another way of saying it is impossible to refute. After all, it is impossible for several princes to know Xu Han's details, and they just want to win over them, not to mention the heroic generals who are in charge of dozens of people. Wan Dajun's talisman...

Today, the heroic old general has won the battle again, and his identity must be improved to a higher level. Although this announcement is steamed, the loyalty of the heroic old general is obvious to all people in the world. Thinking of this, he was drunk by Prince An before. The forces of the retired princes began to move again, and they wanted to win over Xu Han again.

Not only that, but there are many benefits.

For example...the promotion and salary increase last time, this time became the military charm of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the hands of the heroic old general.

As long as it is a person, they all want power and power, and they thought they could win Xu Han in one fell swoop, but Xu Han coldly refused, "I appreciate the kindness of several adults, but I am not determined to do so, wait until I finish it. What I have to do, I will resign and return home..."

The words startled thousands of waves. Although no one believed it, they were all silent. Not long after, Xu Han was allowed to leave.

On the first day of November, Lin Liangchen prepared a shop for two or three months, that is, the "Beauty Pavilion" finally opened with the expectations of many ladies.

Fortunately, everything was well prepared in advance, so there was no trouble when it opened. Beauty Pavilion, as its name suggests, only entertains women, not men, and there are young women dressed as maids. The meaning of Beauty Pavilion is that as long as you enter. If you go to the Beauty Pavilion, you can become a beauty.

Of course, Lin Liangchen didn't say this when he opened the business. At present, I don't intend to say that after arranging the invited concubine and a few noble ladies of the first or second rank, Lin Liangchen started his own promotion.

five years ago. Lin Liangchen can make rouge. As time goes by, Lin Liangchen will do more. If it wasn't for the fact that there are not so many modern materials, Lin Liangchen has to make up all the modern makeup tools. No.

"This kind of osmanthus cream is the most suitable for use at this time. The fragrance is light and clear, you won't feel bored if you smell it too much, and it won't feel thick and rough after wiping it off. Concubine Shi, do you smell it?" Lin Liangchen He took the lid of the box and handed the small and delicate wooden box to the Crown Prince Concubine Gu.

The same goes for the other ladies. "This one. It's hand ointment. Like the weather in this capital, even if the hands are well maintained, there will still be dry cracks and dead skin. It is best to rub it after meals, and it is suitable for people who have been holding the hand stove for many years. ."

From face to hands to lips and lashes. When it comes to hair, Lin Liangchen said that he was never tired of it. Talking and doing experiments for them.

Lin Liangchen's articulation and skillful skills surprised the Gu family.

I thought that Lin Liangchen was just a country woman with empty looks, but no stock in her stomach, and a rude personality. Now, it seems that they all came to a conclusion too early.

It doesn't matter what other people think, what matters is that Lin Liangchen just wants to make the reputation of the Beauty Pavilion. By then, the business of the Beauty Pavilion will be booming, and she will be able to do other things.

In the future, Lin Liangchen demonstrated the fields involved in the Beauty Pavilion one by one, and changed the makeup and hair accessories for the Gu family. With Lin Liangchen's skillful manipulation, the Gu family changed a lot.

And this belongs to the Gu family. The Gu family is not much older than Lin Liangchen. She usually wears noble and heavy clothes. Those clothes and makeup cover up her original advantages. , It's really amazing, and it feels beautiful and refined.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Mr. Gu opened his mouth in surprise. Lin Liangchen straightened Mrs. Gu's hair. From a small box, he selected a wooden stamp with red plum blossoms engraved on it. A seal on the forehead of Mr. Gu.

A lively plum blossom bloomed on Mrs Gu's forehead, and several noble ladies who were walking with Mrs Gu looked at the plum blossom on Mrs Gu's forehead in surprise and pointed, "This...is this a plum blossom? "

Lin Liangchen nodded and winked mischievously, "Does it look good?"

Several ladies said in unison: "It looks good..."

That plum blossom is just like the real thing.

Gu Shi was stared at by several people, his ears were red, and he said with embarrassment: "Look again, I won't let Liang Chen dress you up in the future."

In just a while, Mrs. Gu has changed from Madam Lin to an affectionate title like Liangchen.

"Good day?"

Lin Liangchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled; "What Concubine Shizi said is."

Mrs Gu stood up from her seat, "Liang Chen, you are so outrageous, otherwise, you can call me sister. How about calling you sister Gu?"

After asking about the birth date, Mrs. Gu stared at Lin Liangchen for a long time, "Liangchen, do you usually take care of it like this?"

Lin Liangchen shook his head, "I pick fresh petals and wash my face every day."

Looking at Gu's stunned eyes, Lin Liangchen smiled and said, "When I was in the countryside, I liked to toss with these flowers and plants, so it was very convenient to pick them."

Before Mrs Gu spoke, the other ladies said, "We never knew that this flower can still be used like this."

"Yeah..." Mrs Gu also echoed.

"Of course you can, not only that, after the flowers are dried, you can still make tea." When it came to this, Lin Liangchen rambled on, and matched each of the Gu family with a kind of tea. Their scented tea.

"What about these scented teas, you have to keep drinking to achieve the effect I mentioned..."

After recommending the scented tea, Lin Liangchen returned the topic to the main topic. With the Gu family, Lin Liangchen did not deliberately promote anything, but she wanted to promote it, but she was afraid that if she talked too much, the Gu family would not be impatient.

After I told them that I would give them a 20% discount, only then did the clerk in the Beauty Pavilion come to pack for the Gu family.

Lin Liangchen sells a lot of things, and the Gu family are not short of money. They bought one copy of everything Lin Liangchen said, and some even bought two copies. After Lin Liangchen's hard work, there was also a More than a thousand taels of silver.

When he first thought of opening a shop, Lin Liangchen had been thinking about whether to buy a bigger place. Now it seems that this decision is correct. The most important thing in the capital is the rich. Now it's not in vain for her to toss for a long time, from buying people to getting each of their clerks to make a good foundation, and then to how to ensure the supply of goods.

This layer by layer is the result of Lin Liangchen's hard work.

After seeing off the Gu family, Lin Liangchen sat in the private room to rest. He had just said too much, and now Lin Liangchen's voice was hoarse. I asked about the sales of rouge gouache in the clerk's cabinet.

After calling the shopkeeper to instruct him carefully, Lin Liangchen took Liu'er home.

Back home, Xu Yong and Shui Qing were waiting outside. When Lin Liangchen was summoned, he immediately went in and reported to Lin Liangchen the situation of the southward trip.

Since Lin Liangchen saw that Xu Yong and Shui Qing were very enthusiastic about the matter of dumping goods in the south, and they did a good job. Lin Liangchen specially arranged for the two of them to do this. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Yong and Shui Qing had followed Lin Liangchen for many years, she would definitely be worried.

"The capital is colder than the south, and now the weather is not suitable for you to go south. In this way, after you sell the goods, talk to the charterer and make an appointment with them about the time to go south next year. In addition, I will send Get something ready. When you pass by later, bring something to them by the way."

With Lin Liangchen's actions, Xu Yongshuiqing naturally helped those boatmen to thank Lin Liangchen.

"What's there to thank for this little thing? I'll give you one hundred taels of silver in a while, and when it's time to get the things, I'll give them to them, don't forget to say more nice words, there will be many things that need help from others in the future... ."

"It's still thoughtful by the owner."

"Don't be poor, after you're done with this matter, Xu Yong, it's time for your marriage to be done."

When Xu Yong followed him, he was only 10 years old. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now he is a mature man in his twenties. When he was in Dahe Village, no one liked him. Now in the capital, there are many good girls, and it is time to think about marriage.

Xu Yong lowered his head shyly, "The owner is joking."

"Okay, I won't make fun of you anymore, you two hurry up to do things, and come back to rest after finishing things."

"Yes."

Since Lin Liangchen left, the situation of the Beauty Pavilion has been in full swing. Lin Liangchen thought that it would take a while to build the reputation of the Beauty Pavilion, but he did not expect that within a day, the Beauty Pavilion would become completely popular.

In the evening, Lin Liangchen talked with the shopkeeper Jiang in charge of the Beauty Pavilion, "From tomorrow onwards, everything will be as I said, rouge gouache is sold by time and quantity, as long as the agreed quantity is sold out, it will no longer be sold, even if it is The nobles are here, too."

"Ma'am, will you lose a lot of guests by doing this? After all, the reputation of the Beauty Pavilion has just started." Manager Jiang said hesitantly.

Lin Liangchen smiled without saying a word, and changed the subject: "How much stock is there in the Beauty Pavilion now?"

Shopkeeper Jiang didn't know why. After thinking about it, he honestly reported the number, "There are still a lot of these in stock..."

"From making the rouge, to finishing it and sending it to the Beauty Pavilion, how much time do you need to calculate?"

When I saw Jiang Si at first, I was willing to let him be the shopkeeper, naturally because he did things in a straight-forward manner and could not tolerate a certain amount of sand in his eyes. At the same time, Jiang Si also liked to report everything clearly.

"About three or four days."

"What if there are other unexpected situations? For example, the number of wooden boxes is not enough for delivery, or there are not enough porcelain bottles?"

After contacting shopkeeper Jiang, Lin Liangchen asked him to go back. As soon as shopkeeper Jiang left, Xu Han came over lightly and looked at Lin Liangchen leaning on the chair. He walked over slowly, put his hand on Lin Liangchen's shoulder and gave She massaged up.

Looking up at Xu Han, Lin Liangchen said weakly, "Master, are you back?"

"Well, the shop opened today, are you exhausted?" Xu Han's voice was infinitely gentle.

"Isn't it...ah..." Lin Liangchen glared at Xu Han angrily, "What are you doing?"

this man...

Press the shoulder, press the shoulder, and deliberately tease her.

"Let you be a little more tired and have a chance to rest tomorrow."

Lin Liangchen didn't want to refuse directly, "I don't want to, while there is still some time before the Chinese New Year, how can I... ah..."

Before Lin Liangchen finished speaking, Xu Han bent down and carried her back to the bedroom, "I said..."

Still unable to finish as he wished, Lin Liangchen's mouth was directly blocked by Xu Han, Lin Liangchen's group simply turned against the customer, peeled off Xu Han's clothes layer by layer, and flirted with him, but he refused to let him. He succeeded. (To be continued..)
