Chapter 218 of the clothes with broken branches and flowers.

Rest the next day.

Xiaoxiao slept willfully until Si Shi. Since he arrived at the Yuanlong Dynasty, he has never slept for such a long time. His unprecedentedly tired body, his unprecedentedly relaxed heart, this sleep seemed to be able to sleep forever.

After getting up, he combed a double-snail bun with red snails, and two thin-winged butterflies carved with snow shells. He chose a gauze shirt with apricot powder and a smoky blue pleated skirt. He looked like a lively girl of twelve or twelve years old.

The girl walked to her parents' yard with a brisk step. Seeing that these two were standing in the corridor, it seemed that her father was about to go out, and her mother gently tidied her father's shirt with ash: "The silk and satin farm has been cleaned up. Don't say too heavy words when you go, people are already worried."

"I never like to scare people." The father opened his arms and enjoyed his wife's clothes for him.

Xiaoxiao stood not far away, and she loved watching such scenes.

Qifan saw his daughter at a glance and waved her to come: "Is there a button bun with sauce and meat filling for you?"

Xiaoxiao burst into a big smile: "I want to eat it with rice porridge and pickled cucumber!"

Shan Niang smiled: "And your favorite shrimp pastry."

Shan Niang wore a daylily yellow gauze dress today, which is very suitable for summer mornings. She smiled and turned to look at her mother, and looked up at her father again: "Did Dad go home for lunch?"

But the father looked at his mother: "What are you going to eat at noon?"

"Think about making dumplings."

In the north, dumplings are still the most solemn food. When the host comes back, she naturally needs to prepare a dumpling.

Xiaoxiao was not very good at making dumplings, so she just stood aside and listened.

Qifan looked at his daughter: "Do you have something to say?"

Hearing this, I probably can't come back for lunch.

Xiaoxiao did have a lot of serious things to tell his father, so he simply said it all: "Zheng Shanzhang suggested opening a ready-to-wear shop in Chengde, and it should be as tall as the shop in Kyoto."

"What is high-end?"

"High-end, elegant and upscale, it means it's particularly particular."

"Mr. Tong said this?"

"Um."

Qifan couldn't help but say to himself: "Politics and business are interconnected, and they are connected."

He looked down at his beautiful and well-behaved daughter and asked softly: "Do you have any other explanations?"

Xiaoxiao spread his eyes and saw only his three family standing under the corridor. He whispered: "Uncle Fourth has opened nearly a thousand acres of land and planted a mysterious medicinal material."

As I said that, I looked at my father, I really couldn't guess what this person was thinking.

Qifan asked his daughter: "How did Xiaoxiao know?"

Xiaoxiao reported to his father what he had observed recently: "My daughter often went to Aunt Fourth's yard to find Xiaoqian to play with. She had met a Shang Master there, and Uncle Fourth's medicinal seeds were bought from him."

A trace of invisible suspicion flashed through Qifan's eyes, and then smiled at his daughter and said, "Your fourth uncle may have to plant a lot of cocoa beans."

Although it was a comfort to his wife and daughter on the surface, Xiaoxiao understood that his father had already taken care of the matter, so he also cooperated and said, "No wonder Uncle Fourth said he likes the taste of chocolate very much!"

Qifan patted his daughter on the shoulder and said to Shanniang: "Save dumplings until evening to eat. The people from the Chamber of Commerce will welcome me at noon."

Shan Niang smiled and nodded, looking at her daughter: "Will we go to the timber shop today?"

Xiaoxiao rarely goes to his shop with his mother. He finds it fresh and rare, so he nods happily.

He sailed down two steps: "Haiyi Pavilion has put on new summer clothes, you two can go for a walk," he said, looking at his daughter: "Your mother is determined to make porcelain and doesn't like our clothes shop. She will take care of Haiyi Pavilion in the future."

Shan Niang smiled: "Although this child is a little smart, he is young after all, so he should revitalize the silk shop on Jianshan Street first."

"In a year, Xiaoxiao may turn the shop on Jianshan Street into profits?" His father looked serious.

If you use the satin cloth in the shop as curtains, and look at yesterday's snow-flake orders about curtains, it should not be difficult to turn losses into profits. Xiaoxiao also nodded seriously: "My daughter is willing to give it a try."

"If I can do it, I will prepare to take over Haiyi Pavilion in a year." Qifan didn't seem to be joking.

Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. After all, Haiyi Pavilion is not just a clothes shop. The reason why Haiyi Pavilion attracted her so much attention was probably because there was a designer named Yun Yi inside.

My father suggested that what was the intention of letting myself and my mother go shopping in Haiyi Pavilion? What was the intention of letting myself take over Haiyi Pavilion a year later?

Looking up again, the tall light gray shadow had disappeared deep in the corridor.

"Mom, do you want to go to Haiyi Pavilion to pick up clothes?" Xiaoxiao was not afraid of going anywhere, but if he brought his mother with him, he would be a little worried. In the Yuanlong Dynasty, he had never had a head-on confrontation with Yun Yi. Perhaps the other party had the same tricks as he did in his previous life, or perhaps he had become smarter and more cunning.

Xiaoxiao had long discovered that everything in his previous life had become deeper at the Yuanlong Dynasty, and the waters became deeper and the routines became deeper.

Shan Niang smiled faintly: "I have come to Kyoto and have been busy with the matter of Zhuangzi and weaving workshops, but I have not even had time to go to Haiyi Pavilion to check it out."

"Do you want to go and have a look today?" Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"If it were normal, I would have gone too, but your father has returned to Beijing, so it would be better if he took us there." Shan Niang walked down the steps and looked at the mandarin duck plum blossom in front of the corridor. At this time, it was a small yellow plum blossom with green fruits, full of fruits, very cute.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at her always taciturn mother. Now that the matter was handled by her mother, she knew that it was reasonable and no one could make any mistakes. Logically, it was a very common thing for the wife of the boss to come to the shop to visit her shop. However, Shan's personality was not easy to be ostentatious and did not intend to take over Haiyi Pavilion. This time, Tang Qifan returned to Beijing, and he brought his mother and mother to the shop to choose clothes, which further demonstrated the boss's wife's attitude of unintentionally interfering in the business. Such a reserved attitude made her look even more like a wife.

Xiaoxiao smiled secretly, and there was a more important point: the boss personally brought his wife to his store to choose clothes, so that the shopkeepers and masters could take a look at what kind of couples the boss and his wife were...

My father and mother should have shown their love long ago, so that some confused people below could wake up and sober up, and sprinkle a pot of dog food for Master Yun. She wouldn't like it or not.

"I rarely go to the yard of the fourth bedroom. Xiaoxiao, could I see something there?" Shan Niang asked her daughter.

Xiaoxiao was not surprised by his mother's sensitivity, so he pretended to mention it to his father unintentionally, and never thought that his mother was in love with her.

"I went to Aunt Fourth's yard before and saw many bright flowers, which looked a bit like Meimei, but the flowers were bigger and more gorgeous than Meimei," Xiaoxiao said while observing her mother's expression. Seeing that she did not show any special surprise, she continued: "And they are all single plants, very beautiful."

Shan Niang always likes flowers and plants. She has a complete set of maps of flowers in her study. After hearing Xiaoxiao's words, she thought carefully: "What Xiaoxiao describes is like poppy flowers."

Xiaoxiao was shocked. His mother actually knew poppy! But looking at her mother's expression carefully, it was no different from the past. It seemed that she did not know the harm of poppy.

It was because of the appearance of the pirate Shang Tuojiang that I was concerned about this matter. By looking for Xiaoqian to play, I went to the Fourth Room several times. Finally, I saw several pots of bright poppy flowers in Aunt Sansi’s yard.

At that time, I pretended to be naive and asked, "How did this beautiful girl look so beautiful?"

Aunt Ruan, the fourth aunt, didn't recognize poppy, and said with a smile that this thing is not a beauty, but just looks like it. It is an overseas medicinal material. It is said that it has miraculous effects on pain relief. Uncle Fourth specially opened two large farms, a single poppy. He also said that the seeds of poppy are very expensive, and a poppy is almost as good as a medium-grade peony flower. Uncle Fourth also said that even if poppy is not used as medicinal materials and only ornamental flowers, it can make a fortune.

It can be seen that poppy was not a contraband in the Yuanlong Dynasty, and even for most people in this dynasty, poppy was a very unfamiliar plant.

When Xiaoxiao first received this news, she was very anxious, not even a person who discussed it. People who have not experienced the poisoning of poppy will not understand its danger.

In other words, poppy seeds are so expensive and have to be obtained through business development, which is even hard-won. Uncle Fourth also bought the land of two large villages, making him give up planting easily, which is almost impossible.

Xiaoxiao also thought about discussing with her grandmother, but she didn't know how to talk about it. After all, this is not a matter of the third room. It is really unreasonable to have a junior who intervened in the fourth room business.

Fortunately, my father came back in time, so he persuaded his younger brother, or...forget it, my father always had his father's solution.

Xiaoxiao didn't expect that his mother knew Poppy too, so she asked, "Mom, can this Poppy really relieve pain?"

"I haven't tried this myself. I only heard that poppy can cure dysentery and detoxify." Shan Niang recalled the book about poppy, "This medicine is extremely powerful and should not be used too much."

Of course, it cannot be used too much. Poppy is smoke, drugs, and beautiful flowers of evil!

Shan Niang frowned: "A few years ago, your father and I were doing business in the border areas of Yunnan. I have seen patients suffering from poppy. At first, they only used poppy to relieve cough. Over time, they became deeply dependent on this medicinal material and could not quit. They gradually became strong on the outside and were terminally ill, and were no different from the living dead."

Xiaoxiao was shocked. Unexpectedly, his parents had seen people suffering from poppy with their own eyes. It seemed that poppy was only spread in a small number of areas and was not introduced into the Central Plains in large quantities.

Shan Niang sighed: "I think that the famous doctor of the previous dynasty, Zhu Zhenheng, once pointed out: Nowadays, people who have coughed with fatigue and coughing should use millet shells to stop diligently; those who are damp and heat discharged should use it to stop astringent. Although the effect of stopping diseases is urgent, killing people is like a sword, so you should be warned deeply."

Xiaoxiao didn't have to continue to pretend to be ignorant anymore, and said excitedly: "Since my father knows the harm of poppy, he will definitely persuade the fourth uncle!"
