On a dim spring dawn, Lou Qingyi, who was tortured by melancholy, casually picked up the bronze mirror and looked at the pair of eyebrows in the mirror, which were tightly locked by separation, like the lonely crescent moon in the sky.
Gu Ying's self-pity made her feel discouraged. If she didn't have to take care of such a big thing in the Lou family, she would never want to dress up again.
Sighing softly, he stood up in a daze, walked to the door, rolled up the bead curtain, and looked out the window. He saw the wind blowing and falling flowers in the empty courtyard with overlapping buildings.
.
Everything around is so quiet.
Lou Qingyi stepped out of the room and went straight to the back garden. Looking at the weeping willows by the small lake, she lamented the happy times in the past when she walked side by side with the person she loved on the willow path, touched the railings of the golden well, and whispered.
Gone forever!
Even in dreams it is difficult to recreate it.
The thought of spending my youth in an empty courtyard feels even more uncomfortable than a serious illness.
At this moment, a brisk voice sounded from behind.
"Miss, when did you wake up and how did you get here?"
As soon as Lou Qingyi turned around, she found Ziling standing not far behind her with her lips pouting, as if something unhappy had happened to her.
Under the sunlight, Lou Qingyi's pretty face looked like there was still a trace of tiredness.
Zi Ling looked a little distressed: "Miss, why don't you go back and sleep for a while?"
"No need!" Lou Qingyi tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "Are you already doing the things assigned to you?"
The dream just now made her feel a little dazed. As soon as she said the words, she regretted it. It was only the early morning. How could Ziling finish such a large amount of things at once.
"Not yet. I looked for him early in the morning, but I couldn't find him. Xiao Yu'er said he went out before dawn." Speaking of Chen Chang, Zi Ling was absolutely furious.
Lou Qingyi raised her eyebrows lightly: "Oh?"
Zi Ling said angrily: "I think he must have gone to see that little vixen."
Lou Qingyi's brows furrowed even more. The little vixen in Zi Ling's mouth was naturally Shui Ling'er.
"Stop talking nonsense!" she scolded Zi Ling.
"Miss, just look at him like this..."
Zi Ling was fighting for Lou Qingyi's injustice. After all, Chen Chang also had a family. Why was he looking for Shui Ling'er, a woman from outside, every day?
Of course Lou Qingyi knew Zi Ling's thoughts, but how could he force things like feelings? Although he was married, he still dreamed of He Lang in his dreams.
"Okay, don't worry about him now. Xiao Yu'er is here. She must also know how to make this mask. Let her explain it to the maids and boys. If there is nothing ready in the workshop, just go to the nearby one.
It will be done in the house, but everyone involved must be reminded to keep it confidential."
Zi Ling nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Chen Chang indeed went to look for Shui Ling'er early in the morning, a facial mask with strange effects. How come he didn't get Ling'er?
After seeing Chen Chang, Shui Ling'er was particularly surprised, like a cheerful bird flying from the house into Chen Chang's arms.
The warm fragrance of nephrite jade made Chen Chang's mind wander. He quickly calmly restrained the evil thoughts and said with a smile: "Ling'er, do you miss me?"
"Hmm." He hummed softly like a mosquito.
In his arms, Shui Ling'er had a fragrant figure, flowing with charming charm, and a girl with warm nephrite fragrance in his arms. The friendship inadvertently revealed from the corners of his eyes and brows made Chen Chang lose his mind for a moment, and he hugged her tighter for a moment.
Chen Chang rested his nose on her bun, smelled the fragrance of her hair deeply, and whispered: "I can't help you, I will come to see you often in the future."
In the future, he will also build a school for Old Man Yan, so there will be no shortage of opportunities for him to come out. There will be no problem if he catches a fish occasionally.
After some tenderness, Shui Ling'er broke away from Chen Chang's arms with a blushing face, straightened her temples, lowered her eyebrows and said, "This is outside, everyone is watching..."
"Oh, I was negligent. You are my wife, hehe..." Chen Chang laughed dryly. This was indeed in the small courtyard, but it was very quiet here. Wang Huan had already given instructions to his family.
Don't bother Miss Shui with anything special.
"Chen Lang, you come to me early in the morning, your home... your home... won't..." Shui Ling'er reminded kindly, but her eye circles were slightly red, she looked at Chen Chang, lowered her head and said nothing.
At this time, Chen Chang no longer belonged to her, but to an eldest lady named Lou Qingyi. She was a lady from a well-known family, so naturally she was not comparable to a country girl like her.
Chen Chang patted her forehead. I, Chen, had to ask a woman for instructions when I went out. We are not raking my ears. He smiled at Shui Ling'er and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Ling'er. I'll tell you when I get back."
Just go and spank that careless woman."
Shui Ling'er was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "Why... why do you want to fight..."
His face was completely red, but he couldn't say the embarrassing word "butt" no matter what.
"She doesn't even know when I go out, so of course she has to be spanked."
He obviously ran out secretly, and he spoke so confidently, which made Shui Ling'er laugh again.
"Ling'er, I came to see you today specifically to give you a gift!"
After Chen Chang finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and introduced its usage and effects to Shui Ling'er one by one.
Shui Ling'er's beautiful eyes were shining, and she looked at Chen Chang lovingly. It was rare that he was still thinking about herself.
"This mask may not be suitable for everyone. You should be careful when using it. If you feel any discomfort, wash it off with water quickly." Chen Chang explained patiently.
Shui Ling'er's heart was full of tenderness and sweetness. Fortunately, the method of using it was relatively simple, otherwise Chen would have to sing it again.
Then, Chen Chang talked about the production and sales operation of this facial mask.
This matter is of great benefit to the Lou family, but to be honest, Chen Chang is also the one who benefits.
In fact, although he was a businessman in his previous life, he was not willing to do business again. He had seen too much hypocrisy and cunning in the business world before, and he felt deeply tired.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The business is left to Lou Qingyi, a woman, and he only needs to come up with ideas. Compared with the past, he is much more relaxed and relaxed.
However, this approach is somewhat despicable.
Of course, Lou Qingyi may not think so, because the Lou family needs such an opportunity now, and she cannot miss it.
Shui Ling'er sighed softly, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, you are extremely talented, and Miss Lou is also a famous lady. You two are a match made in heaven. At this time, the Lou family's business is not prosperous, and you are more...
You should help her. You don’t have to worry about me, and don’t have any scruples. Just do whatever you want, we all support you."
Even Shui Ling'er thought this way, which really made Chen Chang dumbfounded: "Ling'er, actually I am very lazy and don't want to do anything, so I want Miss Lou to come forward to do business, and this business is theirs, and I and
At best, her relationship is a cooperative relationship, and too much interference is not good. You also know that although I am married to Miss Lou, in the eyes of others, I am almost like a son-in-law, and my reputation is not very good. However, it is not
It’s no good. At least we can lean on the big tree of the Lou family, so no one will dare to bully us in the future.”
The words connected him and Shui Ling'er together. After hearing this, Shui Ling'er felt very sweet in her heart.
Shui Ling'er stopped asking him questions, and the two of them had a good discussion.
Shui Ling'er always had lunch at Shui Ling'er's place. Shui Ling'er lived in the Prince Consort's Mansion. Originally, the maids would bring her meals, but she was used to hard work in the past. How could she be served by others? She could have Wang Huan order someone to serve her in the small house.
A stove was set up in the courtyard, and servants helped bring rice, flour, grains, oil and other supplies, and they started cooking by themselves.
It was the first time that Shui Ling'er cooked. Even though there was nothing fancy about it, Chen Chang was still very happy with the meal. Apart from the fact that the house was not his own, it already felt like home. It was much more comfortable than staying in Loufu.
After eating, Shui Ling'er asked Chen Chang to rest while he went to wash the dishes.
Chen Chang looked at her graceful back and said in his heart: "Where can I find such a virtuous woman? If one day I lose Ling'er, just call me..."
Before I could finish swearing in my heart, the light in front of me suddenly dimmed.
Then came Yan Qianshi's big, plump face.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Yan Qianshi looked at Chen Chang, who was lying on the back of the table, and slapped the table: "Chen Chang, you know how to act arrogantly and come here to eat and drink. Let me ask you a question.
, how have you considered Ling'er's matter?"
Why do you always act like an uncle? It's not like I don't care about Ling'er, but the conditions don't allow it now, Chen Chang secretly cursed.
"Brother, I'm working hard right now! Give me some more time." Chen Chang said with a smile. The mask business is about to start. If nothing goes wrong, a sum of money will come into his account. He has already made plans.
First, buy a house nearby for Shui Ling'er. Although Wang Huan is kind, it is not an option to always rely on others. No matter whether it is good or bad, you must have a home of your own.
"Work hard, work hard! If you work harder, I'm afraid you and the eldest lady will have a baby."
Brother Qianshi is so angry. Could it be that he was scolded by Aweng again?
Chen Chang secretly smiled bitterly. He and Lou Qingyi didn't even want to look at each other, not to mention having a baby. How could they have a baby in such a state?
"Senior brother, where are you thinking? Miss Lou and I are..."
"Okay, stop talking, I don't want to hear it!" Yan Qianshi interrupted Chen Chang rudely, "Anyway, if I see that you are sorry for Ling'er, you will give me even if you risk my life.
Take a look at the color."
Chen Chang smiled wryly and waved his hands: "Brother, you and I are brothers and our hearts are as strong as ours. How could we do anything? No, absolutely not!"
"Then are you prepared to fight back?" Yan Qianshi rolled his eyes at him.
Hehe, are you determined to beat me?
I, Chen Chang, will never give you Fatty Yan such a chance.
At this time, Shui Ling'er walked back with gentle steps.
As soon as she came, Chen Chang knew that he was saved, and Ling'er was his great savior.
Sure enough, Yan Qianshi quickly put away the angry look on his face and nodded slightly to Shui Ling'er in greeting.
800
Shui Ling'er poured tea for the two of them, found a place on the other side of the room to sit down on her knees, took a piece of clothing and began to mend it.
Yan Qianshi glared at Chen Chang again and pointed at his eyes, which meant, don't try to fool my sister, I'm staring at you.
Chen Chang couldn't help but laugh, saying that his brother was really kind-hearted.
The two immediately discussed the venue for the class. In the past few days, Yan Qianshi had been pretending to be everywhere in the city, and even his legs were thin. They found a few suitable places. He originally planned to discuss it with Chen Chong.
, but by chance Chen Chang came.
Chen Chang listened to Yan Qianshi's narration, eliminated some things that were simply inappropriate, and found only three that he liked.
But when Yan Qianshi heard the three places mentioned by Chen Chang, his jaw dropped.
"Other people's academies are all located in secluded places, but you chose four busy places. Why on earth is this?"
Chen Chang's choice was completely different from his. There was so much noise in the market, how could he calm down and read and practice calligraphy?
Yan Qianshi was puzzled.
Chen Chang picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said: "Brother, you don't know something about this. The purpose of reading is to understand the truth and to learn to know. If you hide in a quiet place every day and only read the books of sages,
I’m afraid that if you are not diligent, you will be unable to distinguish yourself from the grain. I won’t hide it from you, I didn’t ask Aweng to set up this academy to cultivate a group of nerds who only know how to study rote books.”
"Oh?" Yan Qianshi's eyes lit up. He himself had good qualifications, but he still found it difficult to accept Aweng's teaching method. He felt awkward no matter what, but what Chen Chang said was to his liking.
Chen Chang continued: "Brother, whether it is a city or a country, it needs all kinds of talents. The talents I refer to are not only limited to scholars, but also include some craftsmen and farmers. As long as there are
Anyone who is an expert in a certain skill can stand in front and teach everyone. As the saying goes, if we are three people walking together, we must be my teacher!"
Yan Qianshi's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Chang in disbelief.
Chen Chang stretched out his hand and pointed at Shui Ling'er, who was making a red dress: "Did you see that, let alone craftsmen and farmers, even women can be other people's teachers. For example, if Ling'er is good at needlework, just
You can teach others to make clothes, embroidery, shoes, etc. Other women have learned skills from her, and the clothes they made are beautiful, the shoes are beautiful, and the embroidery is more lifelike. In the shortest time, they can make the most beautiful things.
Wouldn't a good job be better?"
"oops!"
It was true that Shui Ling'er was working as a female celebrity, but her ears were filled with Chen Chang's words. When she suddenly heard that he was talking about herself, she got distracted and accidentally pricked her finger.
When Chen Chang saw this, he almost jumped up from the ground. He jumped in front of Shui Ling'er in three steps and then grabbed her wrist: "Where is it hurt?"
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way!" Shui Ling'er was obviously not used to Chen Chang making such intimate gestures in front of others.
However, the next second, a scene that shocked her even more happened.
When Chen Chang saw a bright red drop of blood on her fingertip, he put her finger into his mouth without thinking.
Two red clouds flew up from Shui Ling'er's pretty face, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. She glanced at Yan Qianshi not far away, for fear that he would see this embarrassing scene.
Chen Chang also turned around, only to see this fat man holding his cheeks in his hands and looking at the yard outside the door in a daze.
Chen Chang really wanted to say something——
Good brother, be loyal!
