When the tea guests disperse, the night sky has already covered the earth.

Lan Qiao and others came out of the teahouse. Wang Xiaowan glanced at Hua Yuxi with guilt and whispered: "I admit that I know about today's events in advance. Mr. Gu's story about Mr. Lan and Hua Jiao was also recommended, because this is the hottest topic in Peking. As long as you tell the story of you two, it will definitely be popular."

Her lips moved, and finally pointed at Chen Yuheng with a cruel heart: "But these are all his ideas. He said that only in this way can the business be prosperous and profitable... Uh nothing, I mean, I didn't mean to joke about the relationship between Mr. Lan and Hua Jia. If you make you unhappy, Xiaowan will apologize first."

Lan Qiao and Hua Yuxi looked at Chen Yuheng together, and the former narrowed his eyes and said, "I said, how could Mr. Gu know so many details? Even if he made up, it would be impossible to see it with his own eyes. It turned out that there was an insider among us."

Chen Yuheng's face turned red and he stuttered: "I'm eager to make money, just like tonight, Mr. Gu's storytelling staff is full, and you are the most popular figures in Peking City, so you will definitely make a fortune."

Hua Yuxi's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "But you were not present at the time, so how could you know so meticulously? It was your master who told you, what he said to me, what was the matter like when he saw my body slouching?"

Chen Yuheng lowered his head and said nothing. Zhu Qingxiao sighed and said, "It was me who said that he accompanied me to find Brother Lan Qiao at that time. When there was nothing wrong on the road, I told him about Luzhou. Humph, if it weren't for your charming fox, Brother Lan Qiao would have taken you long ago..." As she said that, she gestured with her hand to wipe her neck.

"Fox Beauty?" Hua Yuxi laughed and said, "Okay, I'm just praising me as a little princess."

"That's what kind of person is my brother Lanqiao? When he came to visit the martyrs' families, there were many people who wanted to give his daughter and sister to him." Zhu Qingxiao said arrogantly, "He didn't want any of them, and he blocked the sword for you, so you didn't know how to cherish it."

"There is such a thing?" Hua Yuxi said in surprise, "They gave you their daughter to you? Are you a concubine for you? Why don't you want such a good thing? Don't mention you, a big man, if someone gives me a girl, I still want it."

"It's said it's a maid." Lan Qiao smiled bitterly, "After all, they are still considering their livelihoods, I don't blame them." So he briefly mentioned his concerns about the difficulties of the martyrs' families.

They walked all the way back to Liuxiang and stopped at the door of Jintai East House.

Hua Yuxi told Wang Xiaowan: "Our second industry is better to make ready-made clothes."

Wang Xiaowan asked: "Did you come down with a ready-to-wear garment store?"

"What I think is, let's start with spinning thread." Hua Yuxi stretched out one hand and opened it one by one with five fingers. "Then we weave, cut, sew, and finally sell it in the form of ready-to-wear, textile, tailor and then to ready-to-wear sales, we all do this one."

"Then this is a big industry." Wang Xiaowan said in surprise, "It requires a large number of workshops, personnel and stores."

"On the day I just returned to Peking, I swept through the big and small garment stores in the city. I knew that these stores were scattered and were not in the same place as those who sold cotton, silk, cloth, and tailor, and their legs were almost broken. Let's do all this set by ourselves, maybe it's the business opportunity." Hua Yuxi nodded, "Of course we need to hire a lot of manpower. In this regard, you can give priority to the families of the martyrs, so that the daughters or sisters in the martyrs' families can have a job to support their families, so that they will not cut off their lives because of the loss of their sons."

When Lan Qiao heard that she not only wanted to make money, but also solved the livelihood problems of the martyrs' families for him, she couldn't help but applaud her in her heart. Wang Xiaowan understood Hua Yuxi's intentions and was also a little moved: "Everyone of Hua loves the world, I understand what you mean, and I will start preparing tomorrow."

Hua Yuxi said to Chen Yuheng again: "Yuheng, one-stop ready-to-wear is a big business, and it is inevitable that we have to deal with all kinds of people, and there are all inferior and even despicable people. I am afraid that Xiaowan can't handle it alone. Can you help more? I will let her pay you a salary at that time."

Chen Yuheng looked at Lanqiao, saw the latter nodding in agreement, and said, "Since everything you do is good, you can earn money for your master. What kind of wages do I want? Don't worry, with me here, Miss Xiaowan can't suffer any loss."

Wang Xiaowan's face turned red for the first time and said that he would go back first and think about it himself. Finally, he glanced at Chen Yuheng and left his head lowered.

Chen Yuheng saw Lan Qiao winking at him, thinking that he thought he was annoying, so he smiled knowingly and pulled Zhu Qingxiao back to the yard of Dongshe, leaving only Lan Qiao and Hua Yuxi standing at the door.

Hua Yuxi seemed to be excited by the opening of the store and said endlessly: "At that time, we will open several stores together so that we can buy everything we want without having to go far. The clerk can hire a few girls with good image, and the business will definitely be very good. Then, in order to prevent someone from harassing them, you can also ask Princess Lin to sit in the formation and punish unruly gangsters and bullies, so that she doesn't have to work hard on the streets every day."

"Cough cough." Lan Qiao's light cough interrupted Hua Yuxi's infinite imagination of a "better future" and said softly: "Are you... still angry with me?"

"Angry? Why are you angry?" Hua Yuxi was stunned and smiled, "How dare you be angry with you, Master Lan."

"Then come with me." Lan Qiao grabbed Hua Yuxi's hand and pulled her into Dongshe's yard until he lived in the third room.

When Hua Yuxi saw Lan Qiao closing the door behind her, her pretty face suddenly turned red as blood, biting her cherry lips and lowering her head without saying a word.

"Stand and don't move." Lan Qiao squatted down, suddenly grabbed one of Hua Yuxi's feet, and forced her shoes and socks.

Hua Yuxi tried to break free and said in a trembling voice: "What are you doing? Let me go!"

When Lanqiao turned over her jade feet, she saw that the soles of her feet were red, with skin breaking in many places and several blisters.

"It turns out that what happened last night was true." Lan Qiao silently put down her feet, "I drank too much and hit you. I must have said a lot of bastards, which made you sad... Alas, it's all my fault."

"No, it's me who should be beaten." Hua Yuxi held Lan Qiao's shoulder with both hands and said sincerely: "It's me who didn't understand the young master's mind. She went against her promise to dance in front of outsiders. She was also pissed off and was angry with the young master. Even the young master was injured to protect the young master. I didn't give the young master a good look. It's me who did too much. Everyone needs an outlet to vent bad emotions. If this can make the young master feel better, I'm happy."

"Don't say that." Lan Qiao sighed, "I shouldn't have treated you as a slave anymore. With your identity and today's achievements, I shouldn't be inferior to anyone. What qualifications do I have to let you serve you?"

When Hua Yuxi heard Lan Qiao's words, she seemed to have a distant meaning, and tears almost flowed out again: "No, I voluntarily, please don't drive me away again, okay? The bubbles on my feet hurt, but I have walked a lot today, and the stinging pain at each step seemed to remind myself that I had been against the young master before, how bad was it."

"I can't bear to drive you away." Lan Qiao was so scared that she burst into tears in her eyes, and hurriedly said, "I just want to say that we can get along with each other in the future. You are not my slave, just like Mr. Gu's book said, I am my confidante."

"Really?" Hua Yuxi turned angry and said, "Young Master, don't regret it."

"Really, I won't regret it." Lan Qiao rubbed her feet lovingly, "The thing that made me most painful these days is to push you away from me with your own hands."

"Then how about we make a contract?" Hua Yuxi squeezed her eyes, stretched out a finger, first tapped her lips, then pressed Lan Qiao's lips, and smiled sly: "Okay, now it's stamped. Little flowers only belong to good fish, and good fish are not allowed to do so."

Lan Qiao looked at her sweet and delicate appearance and her heart swayed: "Okay, OK, it's getting late, you go back and rest first. After walking so many roads, you must be exhausted."

"Young Master has nothing else?" Hua Yuxi sighed, staring at him with some resentment and said, "Tomorrow night, Xiaoye will be back."

The hint of this sentence was already very obvious, but Lan Qiao still seemed to have not understood it and opened the door for her.

"Chuntao, send flowers to everyone home."

Hua Yuxi sighed again, but she had no choice but to put on her shoes and socks, and left with Chuntao.
