Song Qingyan was a little girl and had never experienced it before. Although she felt that Xiao Ci was so gentle and considerate towards Song Qinghuan, she felt that it was different, but she couldn't tell the specific difference.
Song Qinghuan said that it was because I treated my daughter so differently that she choked to the point where she couldn't say a word.
After sitting in Lanyue Pavilion for a long time, I thought about it and finally said: "I feel that if my sister intends to marry Brother Wei San, she should not get too close to another man. This is very unfair to Brother Wei San."
."
Song Qinghuan paused while holding the tea bowl. Ta Xue had also vaguely reminded her of this before, but now Song Qingyan said it again. Although she felt it made sense, she just felt uncomfortable listening to it.
As soon as the tea bowl was put down, he said: "Why did I get too close to another man? Wei Yutang and I are neither engaged nor engaged, so I should wait for him to show his filial piety."
"During this period, I neither regretted my promise nor married another person. However, everyone who came to propose marriage was turned away. What else do you want from me?"
Her words were filled with anger and her tone was not very good.
Song Qingyan raised her eyes to look at her, bit her lip, and finally explained: "That's not what I meant. I just feel that sometimes Prince Rui goes beyond the rules and is afraid that it will be detrimental to my sister."
After talking about it, she felt that she was taking too much care. She sighed and then said: "It's none of my business, why should I worry so much."
Song Qinghuan was filled with anger, but this sentence made her laugh. He nodded her nose and said with a smile: "Who told you to be nosy."
The matter was revealed and the two sisters never mentioned it again.
When the army returned, a banquet was held in the palace to entertain the generals who had returned from Liaodong. The army stationed outside the city also had wine and meat today.
The Marquis of Qibei also prepared a sumptuous meal, originally intended to give Song Youyu a break from the wind and dust, but no one else came back, and instead the two sisters, Song Qinghuan and Song Qingyan, were given an advantage.
Come into the twelfth lunar month, the business of the same brand in Dianzhuang Pavilion is extremely busy.
Yipinju is even worse than Dianzhuang Pavilion. It has no rest even during the New Year's Day. From the third day of the Lunar New Year until the end of the first lunar month, the courtyard where the banquet is held in the back has been booked. There are still two days where the banquet is not received, but
I took on the errand of delivering cakes to my door.
The shopkeeper had to keep accounts until late at night every day. In just over half a month, he lost a lot of weight.
Song Qinghuan is not stingy either. He received an extra month's monthly payment before the Chinese New Year, and he will still have it after the Chinese New Year.
Even if the guys don't care about the monk, they still work hard for the sake of monthly money.
The business of Dianzhuangge Tongpinju is already on track. Song Qinghuan has already set his sights on the territory of Tongzhou, and is planning to ask Song Dashan and Yanwen to go there after the Chinese New Year to open the Dianzhuangge Tongpinju branch.
Drive there.
The shop has been busier these days, and the shopkeepers have to spend more time doing the accounting than in the past.
Song Qinghuan finally had nothing to do, so he took Song Qingyan to the shop to do the accounting.
Song Qingyan didn't like these mundane things. The beads on the abacus in his hand were clicking loudly, but he said: "Let Siqin and Siqi come over some other time. They can both write and calculate, no worse than me."
."
Song Qinghuan buried her head in what she was writing and smiled softly: "No matter how capable they are, they will be allowed to leave in the future."
Then he said: "I am saving your dowry now. By then it will be more than just two shops. If you don't do it yourself and don't even care about others, you will definitely get those people below to deceive you."
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Although the shopkeeper of Dianchuang Pavilion, Tong Pingju, was completely trustworthy, as the business grew bigger and bigger, they couldn't control it too much.
When it comes to purchasing, I leave it to the people below to do it.
When Song Qinghuan was doing his accounting, he noticed something was wrong more than once, but thinking that he was not greedy enough, he turned a blind eye.
Most of the people under her are quite honest, but there is no guarantee that Song Qingyan will not encounter such slaves and bullies in the future.
Even after the New Year, Song Qingyan was able to talk about getting married. This time when I heard Song Qinghuan talk about the future marriage without any hesitation, I couldn't help but turn red.
I don't know where the abacus beads in my hand were hit, so I could only say with a blushing face: "Sister, it's true, she talks about these nonsense all day long."
Then he murmured in a low voice: "You are not even ashamed."
He raised the abacus in his hand and all the beads returned to their places. He straightened his back and started counting again with his lips pursed.
The two sisters worked hard, sorted out the accounts of the Dianzhuang Pavilion, and were preparing a carriage to go to Yipinju when Taxue came in with hot tea from outside.
"The Wei family in Lizhou has come to send a New Year's gift to our house."
Song Qingyan shook her sore hands, raised her eyes to look at Ta Xue, and then smiled meaningfully, looking at Song Qinghuan with a bit of amusement in her eyes.
She asked, "Did Brother Wei give me something good in private?"
Song Qinghuan looked at his nose and heart, holding the tea bowl and taking a leisurely sip.
Texue also glanced at Song Qinghuan, her voice deepened, and she shook her head and said, "No, it's only for the family, not for the eldest daughter alone."
The smile on Song Qing's face suddenly faded, and he looked at Song Qinghuan's expression and cursed: "That's too much."
It has been more than a month since Wei Yutang left Beijing at the beginning of winter, but there is no news at all.
There was not a single word in the letter, and the things I always sent to Yipinju from time to time were also broken. This time the Wei family came to send New Year's gifts, but there was still nothing.
Even Song Qingyan couldn't stand it anymore. Didn't he say that he wanted to go home and discuss getting engaged early?
Why did he just leave without any news?
Song Qinghuan was in the presence of the old god and was not affected by this incident at all.
When Song Dashan came back from Lizhou, he told everything about the Wei family.
Wei Yutang had such a temper. Song Qinghuan had expected that he would not mention anything about early engagement at this juncture, and he could not say anything.
The other person couldn't say anything, and the other person had made a promise, but since he couldn't keep it, he felt shameless and naturally didn't dare to send any more news to Song Qinghuan.
Song Qinghuan didn't say a word. After drinking a bowl of tea, she felt her body warm. As if nothing had happened, she stood up and took Song Qingyan to Yipinju to continue her accounting.
Song Qingyan was afraid that she would feel upset, so she never dared to complain again.
I packed up early the next day and went to Lanyue Pavilion, saying I wanted to accompany Song Qinghuan to the shop to do the accounting.
Song Qinghuan woke up late and was sitting in front of the dressing table having a snack. Taxue Xunmei quickly combed her hair with her.
Through the crystal mirror, she saw Song Qingyan fiddling with the bird's nest porridge in the bowl, saying that she was going to the shop to do the accounting.
She swallowed a mouthful of snacks, paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then go ahead, you don't have to wait for me."
