"What's going on in front?" she asked, raising the car curtain.
"There was someone in Desheng Building who was freeloaded and beaten out." The coachman said with excitement, stretching his neck to see, "It looks like he is a scholar. These scholars like to be poor and coquettish."
"Okay." The maid said, "We still have something to do."
The driver hurriedly shrank his head, not daring to look any further, and drove his vehicle through the crowd.
The car curtains were lowered to block out the noise outside.
Of course, the coachman did not forget to look at the two young men who had been driven out with a smile as he passed them.
"She looks pretty good." He muttered to himself, raising his eyebrows at the two people, "However, the sisters in Desheng Building don't just care about their looks."
This sentence earned the young man an angry look.
How could the coachman be afraid of him?
"Russian!" he snorted, whipping his horse with defiance.
The carriage passed by the two young men with some deliberate intent, earning a scolding sound.
"The people in the capital are so vulgar and rude!" Wang Shiqi said angrily, turning his attention to the little girl again, "I will redeem your life and take you back to Jiangzhou, what do you think?"
The carriage passed by, and the words floating in from outside the carriage curtain were quickly left behind, replaced by hawking and joking on the street.
"This coachman can't be used anymore." The maid whispered, "Madam, it's time for us to buy our own car. Brother Jin is old and he should be properly trained. He can't just play around. It's time to learn some skills, Shiro-kun.
A master of horse training, let him teach Brother Jin how to control a horse."
"Yes." The maid nodded with a bit of admiration, "I didn't notice it at first. There were many carriages and horses in Taiping that day. Several horses started biting each other. The carriages and horses were helpless. Mr. Shiro heard it.
After just two turns and two shouts, the horses behaved like white rabbits."
Banqin chuckled.
"Really, don't laugh." The maid said, reaching out to shake Cheng Jiaoniang, "Madam, you saw it too, right?"
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled slightly and nodded.
"Then I noticed that when Master Shiro led the horse, he never stretched out his hand. The horse would just follow him." The maid said, "I heard from the master before that there are excellent shepherds among the northwest cavalry.
If they can train good horses, even those ordinary horses can be as good as the horses from Hexi in their hands."
Banqin nodded in understanding.
"Then Shiro-kun is so powerful," she said.
"Everything is powerful and should not be underestimated." the maid said.
The chat in the car here quickly crossed the street and stopped in front of Shenxian Residence.
"My sister is here for inspection." Xu Bangchui laughed and joked wantonly.
Cheng Jiaoniang saluted him.
"My sister will use this to tease me." Xu Bangchui ran away.
What he fears the most is the incoming and outgoing courtesy.
"Go to the drug store?" Xu Maoxiu asked with a smile.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"The pharmacy has hired two new doctors," she said.
Yichuntang was flooded with people seeking medical treatment, but Cheng Jiaoniang never accepted any treatment. She just let the drugstore manager manage the drugstore with all his heart. The medicines must be good, the doctors must be good, and of course the wages paid are also very good.
"Deadly disease is not the norm." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Death is not a permanent thing. Compared with medical skills, medical skills are more powerful, the main way is the main method, and the small way is the supplement."
"Sister, you have a right choice." Xu Maoxiu said with a smile.
Cheng Jiaoniang turned to look at him and smiled slightly.
"No," she said, "Actually, I am not short of money."
Xu Maoxiu was startled, then burst into laughter.
The two were chatting and laughing as they walked along the corridor. The place they passed was quiet and elegant. There was a bronze lotus flower placed at one foot of the corridor, and curls of green smoke rose from it, giving the entire corridor a faint fragrance.
Shenxianju only serves as a roadside fairy. There are not many diners in the summer, but the meat dishes here are first-class and good. They are all freshly caught that day. Many people have seen all the unused meat dishes at Shenxianju.
Throw it away.
This attracted countless people on the street to wait at Shenxianju to pick up vegetables and meat. As the business lasted longer and longer, there were fewer and fewer vegetables and meat thrown away.
Exquisite vegetables and meats, exquisite tableware made of gold and silver, and exquisitely decorated boxes will always attract people.
What are you afraid of because it’s expensive? What some people are afraid of is that it’s not expensive.
Gods, after all, shouldn’t be something that everyone can enjoy.
"The cost is too high." Shopkeeper Wu said as he brought in the account books, "It is estimated that we will be able to make a profit in a year."
"If there's anything that's not profitable, just keep it for fun." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Shopkeeper Wu laughed.
If you want to make money in this world, you must be willing to spend money. As this lady said, all real gold must be exchanged for silver. There is no trick.
What a shopkeeper is most afraid of is that the owner will make a lot of money without spending any money, or that he will throw in one money and want to get back two money immediately.
Only those who are rich but not greedy for money can afford meticulous craftsmanship and can endure long-term water flow.
Encountering such an owner is like a craftsman encountering the best jade, with the most suitable tools and the most time, so that he can carefully polish it into a masterpiece that will be handed down for generations.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked from the window and saw a straw target standing in the backyard.
"Knowing that you like this, we happen to be using it, so we made one and can play with it at any time." Xu Maoxiu said, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang and smiling slightly, "You are too thin, you should practice hard."
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded, stood up, picked up her skirt and went out.
"I'm going to use my brother's bow this time."
In the backyard, while the maid tied up the arm ropes, Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Ah, how can you, with your thin arms and thin body, use ours?" Xu Bangchui said with a smile on the side.
"Did Brother Six use a three-stone bow from the beginning?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
Xu Bangchui laughed and stopped talking.
Xu Maoxiu has already brought his own bow.
"Don't even think about the three-stone bow. I can't even open it now." He said, "It's great if you can open this Badou Bow."
Cheng Jiaoniang took over and stood still to draw the bow, and as expected she let go.
Xu Bangchui immediately gloated and laughed.
Cheng Jiaoniang stood still again, took a deep breath, and was still unfinished.
"It's all Brother Three's fault. He only cares about having fun for himself and doesn't prepare anything for the children to play with..." Xu Bangchui said with a smile.
Xu Maoxiu glared at him.
"Are you free?" he said.
Xu Bangchui smiled and made a gesture of shutting up.
Xu Maoxiu stood over and stretched out his hand to hold the bow.
"Hard here." He said, holding the bow arm himself, "Here, pull the string."
Cheng Jiaoniang exerted her strength, and the silken twisted string trembled and bent. She couldn't help but smile on her face. When her strength was exhausted, Xu Maoxiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, pulled the bowstring open, and clasped the arrow firmly.
With a buzzing sound, the arrow left the string and hit the grass target steadily.
"Sure enough, it won't work." Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and turned around to say.
The girl's smooth face is right in front of her eyes under the sunlight, and she can even see the fine hair on it.
Xu Maoxiu was startled, and he let go of his hand and took a few steps back because he was too panicked and very embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he said hurriedly.
Cheng Jiaoniang even smiled.
"I'm rude." She said with a smile.
Xu Maoxiu also laughed.
"Sister, take your time, it will be great to be able to draw five or six bows in the future," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
After dinner here, Xu Maoxiu and shopkeeper Wu saw off Cheng Jiaoniang's master and servant. It was at the Shenxian Residence that the guests were leaving, but there were also some who came in in a hurry.
A young woman came in hurriedly with a little girl, followed by a drooping boy. The corridor was narrow. As the owner, Xu Maoxiu, shopkeeper Wu and others hurriedly made way, but before they got there, the door of a box next to them opened and they walked out.
A young man.
"What are you pretending to be? How much money do you have to come here to eat..." When the woman saw him, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said with gritted teeth.
"I, I didn't know it was so expensive here." The young man whispered, somewhat condescendingly, "I'm not asking for help, I just want to be decent..."
"Are you dignified? It's embarrassing for me in front of my father. It's not your money, but you dare to spend it." The woman said angrily.
The voice was louder, and the young man was even more embarrassed. In the blink of an eye, he saw shopkeeper Wu Xu Maoxiu here and was even more embarrassed.
"Stop shouting, just go in and talk." He whispered.
The young woman also glanced at Xu Maoxiu and walked in.
Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly stepped forward and crossed the door here, when he heard the door suddenly opened again.
"Brother Xu?"
A female voice shouted from behind, seeming a little unsure.
Xu Maoxiu paused and did not immediately turn his head.
"Is it Brother Xu Maoxiu?" the female voice asked again, stepping out of the door.
The young man also came out, looking even more ugly.
"What are you shouting about? Did you recognize the wrong person?" He whispered, but his eyes also fell on Xu Maoxiu's back in the corridor, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
I see.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at Xu Maoxiu, no wonder he had turned his head slightly to cover his mouth and nose inadvertently.
Xu Maoxiu turned around and looked at the couple in front of him with a bit of a smile.
"Brother Xiang, it's you." He said with an unexpected expression. (To be continued)
