Chapter 341 The pretty maid spends all her money to help her uncle
The early morning birdsong woke up Chen Chang. He lay on the snow-white bed quilt and opened his eyes slightly. Yesterday, he spent a long time at night thinking about ways to make money, but he found that there are still differences between ancient times and modern times.
There are ways to make money, but in actual practice, I don’t know if it is feasible. After all, Houliang is only a state, and the world is not unified now, and there are many barriers to doing business.
Take customs taxation as an example. It varies greatly from place to place, and policies change greatly. Orders are often changed day by day, leaving people at a loss as to what to do.
He thought about it until midnight before falling asleep, but he kept thinking wildly for a long time. Of course, he didn't need to think about big business, he still had to start small business bit by bit.
I felt like a hard worker. I kept tossing until the middle of the night and still didn’t have a clue, so I fell asleep.
There were slight footsteps in the yard. It was Xiao Yu'er getting up. Thinking of this maid, Chen Chang couldn't help but smile. Although this little maid is young and has a simple temper, she knows how to do math and can be good at business.
Become your own right-hand assistant.
Moreover, among the Lou family, she is the only one who has the closest relationship with him.
Thinking that he was going to show off his skills, he was embarrassed to stay in bed and opened the window, and a piece of golden sunlight poured in.
The sun had just emerged from the east mountain, shooting out dazzling golden light, piercing the layer of light fog, and the sky was cloudless, making it more and more profound and boundless.
The air would be good without pollution. Chen Chang couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Once a person has his own goal, he will have energy. At this time, Chen Chang feels very different from before.
He wants to make money so that Shui Ling'er can have enough food and clothing, and Gu Du can shut up!
Chen Chang took a deep breath. The air was fresh and moist, with a faint fragrance of flowers. The door was gently pushed open, and he saw a sweet smiling face.
"Good morning! Xiao Yu'er." Looking at this smiling face, Chen Chang's mood became extremely relaxed and wonderful.
"Good morning! Uncle!"
Xiao Yu'er had a smile as bright as a flower. During the time she spent with Chen Chang, she felt more and more that this uncle had no airs and was easy to get along with. As for the rumors in the house that the uncle was drinking and having fun in Ziling County, ignoring the safety of the young lady, she didn't believe it.
.
She quickly walked into the room, took out a few dishes of fine snacks from the food box, and quickly brought out a bowl of thick rice porridge. It was probably extremely hot. She put down the bowl and blew on her hands.
Chen Chang took a look and saw that the breakfast was quite rich.
"You should also sit down and eat together!" Chen Chang motioned for her to sit down.
"No! I'll eat it later." Xiao Yu'er was startled and waved her hands repeatedly. Although the two of them have a close relationship, they are different masters and servants, and their identities are very different. This boundary cannot be crossed for a moment. How can they eat at the same table with their masters?
.
"There's no one else here!"
Xiaoyuer still refused.
"Am I your uncle, are you my maid?"
"Yes...of course it is!" Xiao Yuer blushed.
"In that case, you have to obey my orders. Now I'll let you eat together!" Chen Chang pretended to be angry. It's not that he's not used to being served by others, but he just can't bear it.
Chen Chang, who has lived in two lives, feels a little bit humble. When everyone was equal in his previous life, he pursued superiority. Now that the classes are clear, he hopes to treat others as equals. Isn't this a bit mean?
But Xiao Yu'er just shook her head and laughed, refusing to sit down. When Chen Chang saw her repeatedly trying to persuade her not to move, her face became a little worried. She slapped the case and said angrily: "What's going on with you? If you don't sit down, I will
I’ll ask your lady to replace her with someone else.”
To be honest, Lou Qingyi didn't even want to see him, so how could Lou Qingyi be willing to listen to him?
However, this time, Xiaoyuer was really frightened.
Xiao Yu'er had no choice but to sit next to the chair, take out a small bowl from the food box, scoop out some porridge, pick up a thin piece, put it in his mouth and bite it carefully.
Chen Chang laughed and said, "That's right. From now on, eating together will be a regular practice! I don't like having people watching me when I'm eating. It's really uncomfortable!"
Xiao Yu'er didn't respond, and was still chewing the thin piece. She has been a slave in the mansion since she was a child. Although the young lady treats her like a sister, she knows very well that a slave is a slave, just like the flowers, plants, rocks in the mansion.
, just an item.
Although her uncle had a straight face, she knew that it was all just an act. He was kind-hearted and easy-going, and he sincerely asked her to sit down and have dinner with him.
My uncle is kind-hearted, but for her, she feels anxious, uncomfortable, and even restless. Although the finer things in her mouth are delicious, what is her appetite?
"I'm done eating!" Soon, like feeding a cat, she was done eating.
She doesn't want to be seen by others. It's unruly for a maid to eat with her master. Some people will chew her tongue.
"Sit still and let me discuss something with you!"
Xiao Yu'er blinked, thinking that the word "discuss" was strange coming from her uncle's mouth, but she flattened her mouth and said nothing, just looking at Chen Chang.
"Yesterday in the lady's room, you also heard that I am going to start a business, just a small business. Do you have any good suggestions?" Chen Chang asked seriously.
Although this little girl is young, she has been by Lou Qingyi's side all year round, which is not what ordinary maids in the inner house can compare with. Chen Chang hopes that she can give him some pertinent advice, so as to avoid making detours.
Xiao Yu'er always felt that Chen Chang gave up the olive branch offered by Wang Huan and chose a path that was considered deviant by ordinary people. She couldn't understand it, but when Chen Chang asked this, she still thought about it seriously.
Said: "My uncle, don't you want to take advantage of me?"
Chen Chang laughed and said: "I am a grown man, I can't just stay at your lady's house and eat soft food, right?"
"Soft rice?" Xiao Yu'er obviously didn't know that this word had been given a new meaning by Chen Chang.
"I have hands and feet, but I have to beg for nothing and rely on you ladies for food!"
Chen Chang's explanation made Xiao Yu'er laugh, and the girl's smile was very innocent and sweet.
Chen Chang coughed a few times, and Xiao Yuer hurriedly put away his smile, which made him look even more playful and cute.
Xiao Yu'er looked at Chen Chang with some embarrassment, cleared her throat and said: "Ms. Miss Ziling will take care of a lot of the business outside, and Sister Ziling will also help. I don't know much about things outside, but...
But..."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Chen Chang urged: "But it doesn't matter. You just say it and I listen. It doesn't matter whether it makes Chengdu or not?"
"But if my uncle wants to start another business, I'm afraid he will have to have the capital to do so!" After Xiao Yu'er finished speaking, he lowered his head, but couldn't help but raise his eyes to peek at Chen Chang.
I can still vividly remember the scene when my uncle came to Lou’s house. Looking at him, he looked like he could afford to do business?
Chen Chang pretended to be indifferent and smiled: "I thought you were worried about something. It turns out it's this matter. It's easy to handle, easy to handle..."
All his money was given to Shui Ling'er, so he was completely penniless.
Xiao Yu'er interrupted him and said with a blushing face: "My maid, there are still some there... If my uncle needs it, I'm willing to give them to him!"
Although she is a maid who sells herself, Lou Qingyi has always been kind to her, and she pays half of her monthly expenses. Her food and clothing expenses are basically paid by the Lou family, and the money will only be used if she wants to buy some extra rouge and gouache.
To.
The accumulation of sand makes a pagoda, and I have accumulated more than 40 strings over the years.
Chen Chang's pupils shrank slightly, are you going to eat soft food again?
"This...how is this so embarrassing?"
I'm really embarrassed, not only relying on Lou Qingyi to make a living, but also relying on someone else's maid?
Chen Chang, Chen Chang, how did you get to where you are now?
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else!"
Xiao Yu'er's breath was like a blue, and his voice was like a mosquito, but every word was like a needle pricking Chen Chang's heart, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air from his chest.
Otherwise, how can we say that money touches people's hearts? From ancient times to the present, there are countless examples of heroes being stumped by a penny.
He really couldn't bear to borrow money from a maid.
After thinking about it, a person flashed in my mind, maybe he is the most suitable person.
Seeing that he refused to agree for a long time, Xiao Yu'er stretched out her little hand and pointed to the sky like a palm, saying: "Uncle, do you think you can't trust Xiao Yu'er? Xiao Yu'er can swear to God that this matter will never be spread to anyone..."
Although Xiao Yu'er is young, women in this era are already old enough to get married, and are much more mature mentally than girls in later generations. She knows that this is not just a matter of money, but also a matter of her uncle's face.<
/p>
Which man has no self-esteem?
Chen Chang waved his hand and said: "I accept your offer. It's not that I don't believe you, but I definitely can't take your money!"
His tone left no room for doubt.
Xiao Yu'er felt aggrieved, with tears welling up in her eyes. For her, this was not about money, but about her uncle not trusting her.
Seeing her grievance, Chen Chang comforted her: "Don't worry too much. Maybe I didn't make it clear just now. It's not that I don't want your money, but I don't want your money now."
When Xiao Yu'er heard this, she put away her sadness and looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes, not knowing what he meant.
Chen Chang explained: "When I borrow the money, you can invest in the shares. From now on, you will be my shareholder!"
Xiao Yuer's beautiful eyes suddenly widened. Although she didn't know what the shareholders meant, she generally understood. It turned out that her uncle didn't distrust her, but just couldn't save face.
Thinking of this, the previous grievances and unhappiness in my heart disappeared instantly.
After breakfast, Chen Chang tidied up and went to find Lou Yu, who was the big benefactor in his mind.
Even the concierge recognizes this young man, and he is indispensable to the young lady's ability to save the day.
"Uncle, the old lady got up early. I think I have finished breakfast by now. I will take you over here!" A doorman said with a smile on his face.
"No need to bother, I know the road, I can just go there by myself!" Chen Chang smiled and waved his hand.
After having a heart-to-heart talk with the old lady, Chen Chang felt less alienated in this house, and he walked particularly briskly.
When he met some servants and maids on the road, they all saluted him respectfully, and Chen Chang responded with a smile.
