Li Xiaonan returned home, sat in the yard and began to worry.
This business is coming soon, what should I do with the capital?
She only has the capital for one loom now. If Sister-in-law Lu really buys a loom, she will have to buy one immediately, and the remaining money will not be able to collect a few pieces of fine cloth.
The eldest sister has money in hand, but is it too early to tell the eldest sister now?
It's too early. She doesn't know yet whether this business can be successful or whether it can make money, so she can't talk to the eldest sister.
Third Sister has money in her hands, a lot of money, but Third Sister has just married, and her mother-in-law is very dissatisfied with her, so she cannot find Third Sister.
Who else?
Li Xiaonan looked at Wang Yuting.
Wang Yuting was following Sister Mei, watching her making dried plum vegetables. Li Xiaonan's attention made her subconsciously look at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan waved to her.
Wang Yuting took a few steps over, looked at Li Xiaonan's face, and sat next to her, "What's the matter?"
"Do you have any money? How much?" Li Xiaonan asked in a suppressed voice.
Wang Yuting suddenly smiled dryly, "When your third sister got married, we didn't even have a wedding gift, and now we are even poorer. What are you going to do?"
"You don't have any money, why do you ask me?" Li Xiaonan stopped.
"Ah Wu and I have never had any money. Ah Wu is destined to be the God of Wealth, and I am destined to be a funnel. No matter how much wealth there is, there will be more money leaking out." Wang Yuting said with a smile.
Li Xiaonan glanced sideways at her.
What Wang Yuting said was that he was not ashamed, but rather proud!
From now on, just let these two eat and drink well, forget about the wages.
Wang Yuting then watched Sister Mei cooking. Li Xiaonan held her chin in her hands and stayed in a daze for a while, then stood up and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Wang Yuting asked from behind.
"Go and see the mounted paintings." Li Xiaonan replied without looking back and left the courtyard.
Wan Qing appeared at the entrance of the courtyard so fast, it was as if she had flown over.
"When did you come out of your other business?" Li Xiaonan asked as she left the courtyard.
"It's not even one o'clock, what's wrong?"
Li Xiaonan said "Oh". Before she went to the tea house to deliver the message, they had already left their other jobs and came over. No wonder it was so fast.
"Nothing, have you deducted your monthly payment?" Li Xiaonan asked with concern.
"No!"
There is no rising final sound in this sentence, so it sounds very happy.
"Then does your prince know that we met Mrs. Shi yesterday?" Li Xiaonan asked in a suppressed voice.
"I don't know if you know." Wan Qing slowed down and said, "Our prince is very busy every day and rarely stays in other industries. He seemed to have come back very late yesterday. I didn't ask about it. He just came out of other industries.
Shi Gun was talking to Wang Gui, saying something about the lanterns outside the south gate. According to what he meant, when he came back yesterday, the lanterns outside were all lit."
"I definitely don't know!" Li Xiaonan happily responded.
"I think so too." Wan Qing said with a smile, "We're at the alley, stop talking!"
Gu Yan stood at the door of the tea house and looked at Wan Qing standing at the entrance of the alley, brushing her clothes and skirt, showing a prim look with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes. Then she looked at Li Xiaonan who was looking at Wan Qing with a smile on her face.
He snorted half-smilingly.
When Li Xiaonan stepped into the tea house, Gu Yan was already sitting under the window, swinging the folding fan and looking at the bamboo trees in the yard to enjoy the scenery.
Hearing the noise, Gu Yan turned his head and pointed his finger, gesturing for Li Xiaonan to sit down.
Li Xiaonan sat down and looked at a small bowl of steaming cheese in front of her.
"Try it." Gu Yan motioned to Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan hesitated, picked up the silver spoon, and ate the cheese bite by bite.
Delicious!
Gu Yan swayed the folding fan for a while, watching Li Xiaonan finish the cheese one bite after another, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Li Xiaonan.
"The fourth lady brought the spring tea from Hangzhou. Please try it."
"Do you know everything?" Li Xiaonan frowned and controlled the urge to look at Wan Qing.
"What do you know?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan with a half-smile.
"I copied several books from your library." Li Xiaonan replied slyly, seeming to avoid but also to answer.
"The fourth sister said that you are a naughty girl, and she is absolutely right. Tell me, why are you running against the wife of the Shi family? How did she offend you?" Gu Yan folded his fan and pointed it in front of Li Xiaonan.
"She is a guest of your other business, and I am also a guest of your other business, right? She was the first to say that I am a servant of your family."
"When you are with Wan Qing, isn't it understandable that she thinks you are a servant?"
"Do any of your servants dress like me? Even the concierge and coachman in your family are all dressed in silk." Li Xiaonan retorted.
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "That's right, I really didn't dress like you. I had someone tell her that you went to the library to read."
Li Xiaonan stared at Gu Yan, "Why? Are you using me as a gunman?"
Gu Yan almost choked, "What kind of gun do I think you are? Is it so easy to be my gun? Can someone like you be called a gun?"
"That means she knows that I am not a servant of your family. When you let it slip, who do you think I am?" Li Xiaonan ignored Gu Yan's gun theory.
"My dear friend," Gu Yan replied.
"Wang Nian? How old are you? How old am I? Do I need to forget Nian?" Li Xiaonan was speechless.
"She said you were a servant of the house, and she did it on purpose." Gu Yan brought the topic back.
"She said that because she wanted me to explain or Wan Qing to explain. She is so smart." Li Xiaonan sighed.
She is very annoyed by such smart people who are full of thoughts.
"What do you want from me?" Gu Yan changed the topic.
Li Xiaonan reached out to lift the teapot, added tea to Gu Yan, and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Niu back?"
Gu Yan said in a long voice, "I won't be back for a while. Why do you think of asking this? Do you have something to do with him?"
"It's okay, sir, it's just his concern for the students." Li Xiaonan was very discouraged.
She misses her Shu Xiu terribly.
Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan with a smile.
Li Xiaonan picked up the teapot again and raised it to Gu Yan's cup. Seeing that his cup was full and her own cup was also full, she had to put down the teapot.
Gu Yan looked from the teapot to Li Xiaonan, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Can you lend me some money?" Li Xiaonan put her hands on the table and asked with her eyes closed.
Gu Yanshi laughed out loud. Seeing Li Xiaonan's face turning red, she nodded hurriedly, "Okay! How much do you want? One thousand taels? Ten thousand taels?"
"Fifty taels is enough."
"Let's put it together, one hundred taels. It doesn't look good to you here, so I'll ask Wan Qing to send it to you." Gu Yan leaned forward and said in a suppressed voice.
"Thank you." Li Xiaonan lowered her eyes in embarrassment.
"In the beginning of a business, it is very common to ask someone to borrow money to adjust positions. There is nothing to be embarrassed about." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan.
"I know, I'm embarrassed because I asked you to borrow money." Li Xiaonan sighed.
"Huh?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows.
She is embarrassed because she is looking for him. She is so close to him?
"It's just like catching a sheep plucking its wool." Li Xiaonan muttered with her shoulders slumped.
Gu Yan stared at Li Xiaonan and rubbed his fingers vigorously.
He wants to hit her again!
