Su Lianwei couldn't sleep, as Su Hao's matter made her think a lot, not just the fear of war, but also questioning the future development strategy of the Su family wine. Prosperous times and chaotic times are two different ways of living, people have resilience, no matter what the environment is like, they must live on.
Lianyi and Datou chatted for a while before returning to their room.
Closing his eyes, he couldn't fall asleep even more, a new path of development was slowly taking shape in his mind.
On the second day, when Su Liang arrived at the wine shop, Su Hao had just fallen asleep.
Su Hao was severely hemorrhaging and spent most of the time in a deep sleep. The doctor prescribed him medicine to replenish his blood, and Lian Yi also made him a nourishing chicken soup to help him recover, which he did relatively quickly.
Lianyi looked at Su Hao and then went downstairs to check the shop. At this time, Ye Huan arrived. "Good morning, Miss Su. Fortunately, I came to the wine shop first, otherwise, I would have gone to the winery in vain." As soon as she arrived, her eloquent mouth began to speak.
Lianyi smiled warmly and said, "Ye Huan Gongzi is indeed clever."
Yehuan smiled, "Thank you Miss Su for the compliment. Don't call me young master, it's awkward. Just call me Yehuan. Tomorrow is the delivery day, I was sent by my master to confirm with you. If everything is correct, we will send a car to pick up the goods tomorrow."
"Don't worry, we'll deliver on time tomorrow," The 4,000 jars of wine would naturally be delivered on schedule, this was Su Lianwei's consistent style. "Oh right, where is your young master?" Every time there was something going on, Ye Ci would personally come running over, but this time he had sent Ye Huan instead, and she found it somewhat puzzling.
"Master..." Ye Huan thought of the swollen-faced Master Ye Ci and almost burst out laughing, "The master is not feeling well today, hehe, so he sent me instead, haha..." In the end, she couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
Lianyi looked puzzled, looking at Ye Huan's appearance, it didn't seem like Ye Ci was ill, but she didn't say anything. As for how Ye Ci was doing, she just casually asked. "Then help me wish Ye Ci a speedy recovery." In front of Ye Ci, Lianyi was forced to use affectionate terms, but as soon as Ye Ci was not around, she immediately changed her tone.
"Alright, thank you for your concern, Miss Su." Ye Huan quickly composed herself, inwardly gloating at her own young master's misfortune while secretly marveling at the "pretty boy" Li Yutang, who seemed gentle and weak on the surface but had actually managed to hold his own against Young Master.
Right after that, Ye Huan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. These young masters were not simple-minded people; they had been calculating since birth and had to learn various things from a young age, who knows if it was tiring or not.
Ye Huan left, Su Liangwei listened to the shopkeeper Qiao Liu's report on the recent business, and wanted to go upstairs to take a look at her brother before going to the winery. Unexpectedly, as soon as she went upstairs, Su Hao happened to wake up.
"Brother," Lian Wei lost his calm, ran far away and rushed over, "Brother, don't get up, relax your body, don't tear the wound."
Su Hao opened his eyes and saw his sister, who was also very excited. He tried to struggle to sit up, but was stopped by his sister, so he obediently lay back on the bed. This feeling of escaping death and seeing a loved one is something that people who have never experienced it will never understand.
Xiao Er Lei Zi saw it and rushed over to help.
Leizi picked up Su Hao's upper body, and Lianyi put a few cushions under him.
"Ripples... I... thought we'd never meet again..." Su Hao's voice was still weak and breathless.
Lianyi sighed and forced a smile, "How could that be? Great calamities do not kill one if they are destined for good fortune. Brother, you have a great fate, perhaps in the future you will rise to greatness."
Su Hao smiled slightly.
Lianyi turned around, brewed some red sugar water, added dried longan and jujube, to nourish blood and replenish energy, handed it to Leizi, who sat on the edge of the bed and slowly fed Su Hao.
Lian Wei suddenly felt that Su Hao and Qian Hui's days outside were not easy, in just a few short months, they had changed the look in someone's eyes. Before, Su Hao's eyes were sincere and honest, but now, his eyes were sharp and determined.
After drinking the brown sugar water, Su Hao's body also warmed up a bit, "Letting Lianyi worry."
Lianyi lost her smile. "Brother, you're injured so badly, how can you still say such things? Now that you're awake, are you going back home? Staying in the shop must not be very comfortable either."
"No, it's just here, this is freedom and comfort." Su Hao said immediately.
Lianyi knew that her brother didn't want to go home and see Jiang Shi. She wanted to say something, but hesitated and stopped herself. It was someone else's family affair, after all, and she shouldn't interfere too much, even if they were close siblings.
Su Hao keenly saw Su Lian's reaction, "Lian, if there's something on your mind, just say it straight out, don't keep anything from me, brother."
Lianyi was somewhat surprised by Su Hao's change. In the past, he wouldn't say such things. Whatever happened, he would think about it in his heart and feel deeply troubled. Now, however, he was so open and frank. "Alright, since brother asked, I'll say it. Brother and sister-in-law can't go on like this, it's not a long-term plan. It's better to talk things through, if you can come to an understanding, that would be best."
As soon as he mentioned Jiang, Su Hao fell into distress again. "Dad has been asking me to take a concubine for a long time and even found several girls from other families, but I'm still unwilling to do so. Maybe it's because I've seen the love between my parents since childhood, I just want to find someone to live a peaceful life with."
Actually, the Su family is now considered to be quite wealthy and can afford to take in a concubine. Lianyi was surprised, thinking that the men in Su village didn't take concubines because they were poor, but it turned out that even if Su Hao had money, he still wouldn't take a concubine, only seeking true love, and she suddenly felt admiration for him.
"Brother, if all the men in this world could think like you, it would be great." Lianyi couldn't help but feel emotional, and her mind thought of another person, who was still with her watching the moon last night, but didn't know what that person was thinking.
Su Hao smiled and said, "Everyone has different pursuits, Da Hu is also a good man, Liang Wei you must cherish him well."
Lianyi nodded, "En, I know."
Su Hao later said some things that happened to the traveling merchants, and Lian Yi sat aside listening slowly, chatting, after a while, stopped talking, let Su Hao rest, and went out of the wine shop.
Just now Su Hao deliberately changed the subject, and Lianyi understood his meaning, so she didn't dwell on Jiang's body.
Su Hao was still in a dilemma, not knowing whether he should break up with Jiang or make amends. The former, being kind-hearted, Su Hao couldn't bear to do it, while the latter, given Jiang's arrogance, wasn't something that could be achieved overnight either.
Lianyi thinks the former is more likely.
Su Lianyi did not go directly to the winery, but instead went to the inn where Qian Hui was staying.
When Su Lianwei arrived, Qian Hui was in the house discussing the next task with several managers.
The door opened, and she stepped inside. She had always been alone, even when the wine business was thriving, not bringing a single maid or servant boy with her. "Good afternoon, sorry to disturb you," she said with a smile.
A group of people of different ages stood up and greeted respectfully, "Hello, Miss Su."
Qian Hui saw Su Lianwei coming and was extremely welcoming, leading her to a seat and personally pouring tea. "Miss Su is really elegant today, coming to my place as a guest."
Lianying took the tea bowl with both hands, "Boss Qian is joking, I'm a person without any hobbies, how can I have any elegant pursuits? It's just that there's no business to discuss, so I came to chat with you all about business."
Everyone thought Miss Su was joking, but in fact they all thought so too. Miss Su is not old, but indeed has nothing interesting to say, except for business, still business.
"What's Boss Qian planning next?" Ling asked.
Qian Hui smiled and shook his head, "Don't call me boss anymore, just call me Qian brother like before," he paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Now the south and east are not feasible, can only run around the cities surrounding the capital, Su family wine sales route is almost stable, in the future... think about whether we can push out the medicinal wine."
Qian's brother took a sip of his tea, "If you want to make money, you can also be an agent for other products, not necessarily limited to Su family wine." It was a probe.
Qian Hui smiled awkwardly, "Miss Su is joking, we are all family, let's not beat around the bush. Qian wants to get rich, relying solely on Su's wine won't work, but Miss Su's kindness towards Qian will never be forgotten. Even if I do other business in the future, when it comes to wine, Qian swears to God that he will only act as an agent for Su's wine." His tone was firm and resolute.
Her eyelids drooped, and she nodded slightly. With the mention of money being transferred, she felt at ease.
Everyone has their own mind, who is willing to be a stepping stone for others?
"What business will you be doing after this, Brother Qian? Do you have any plans?" asked Lianyi.
Qian Hui shook his head, "Not for the time being, we're still discussing it with the people in charge." Previously, they were still in a state of panic and uncertainty about Su Hao's life or death. Now that Su Hao was safe and had been sent back, they could finally focus on other things.
"Are you interested in women's cosmetics?" Lingling asked slowly.
Qian Hui was taken aback, and the servants were also stunned, "A woman's cosmetics?"
"Ah, there are many products that women use to stay young and beautiful, even to regain their youth." Of course, when promoting one's own product, it's natural to exaggerate a bit.
Qian Hui was shocked, "Really? Does Miss Su have such goods?"
Other staff were also surprised, the woman's cosmetics were not rare items, but Su Lianwei's cosmetics made everyone curious, because they all knew that Su Lianwei either didn't do it, or what she produced was earth-shattering.
"En." Lianyi nodded, "The sample has been made, and Madame Li of the Li Manor has already placed an order. Mass production will begin in a month. As for Su Family Wine, let's just maintain stable sales for now. In these chaotic times, we shouldn't have money to earn but not enough to spend."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Qian Hui Dao said, "Miss Su, then we won't look for other goods and wait for your cosmetics." He thought to himself, this Su Lian Ying is really something else, how can she have so many surprising things?
Lianyi smiled and said, "No need, you should find other goods or not, no need to specially sell Su family's things."
"Which one agrees?" "No, Miss Su, I've decided on your goods, and I'll only sell Miss Su's products. I mean what I say."
Su Lianying lost her smile, stood up and said, "Then thank you, Brother Qian. If that's the case, after this war is over, my Su family will launch a new wine product. I, Su Lianying, dare to guarantee that no other winery in the world can brew it." It was distilled liquor.
Everyone was amazed, such a good wine?
Others didn't believe it, but Qian Hui did, and with a clenched fist, "Alright, I, Qian Hui, will wait for that."
"It's settled then. You all have work to attend to, I'll take my leave." With that, he lightly nodded his head in a slight bow to the woman and turned to exit the room.
In this era, women should call themselves "nu jia", but Su Lianwei rarely does so except in special occasions. After all, modern thinking is at work here. Saying "nu jia" adds a touch of femininity and softness, but loses the strong and refreshing tone, which unknowingly lowers the status of women, something she dislikes.
Fortunately, due to her strong business acumen, others didn't pay much attention to these things either.
Qian Hui watched as Su Lian's figure disappeared into the distance, and suddenly wondered what was so special about that big tiger, that he could tame such a woman? His heart felt a pang of sourness, why could that silent, taciturn and ugly big tiger do it, but not him?
But this idea was just a thought and did not delve deeper, turned around and returned to the room, re-examining the next matters with the housekeepers.
Lianhui returned to the winery, checked the large order of Ye Ci's prepared products, and then drove back home. Looking at the thick stack of planning books, she sighed with a bitter smile. The plan had changed again, and she would have to rewrite it once more. This time, however, it wasn't about wine, but cosmetics.
Dahu was at home, saw Su Lianhui start to make tense preparations again, and felt some unbearable, but couldn't help. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that Su Lianhui usually liked to eat game, so he quietly went out of the yard and went up the mountain to hunt wild rabbits.
Evening
Lingyu put down her pen, rubbed the acupoints beside her eyes, stood up and stretched to loosen her muscles. She saw Datou was in the kitchen doing something, so she went over.
"What are you busy with?" asked curiously.
Dà Hǔ was dealing with the rabbit, turned his head and glanced at Sū Lián Wī, feeling a bit embarrassed, as if he had been caught, "I want to eat the rabbit."
As soon as the words were spoken, I couldn't help but want to bite off my own tongue.
What does he want to eat? He clearly wanted to say that he would catch and write rabbits for her to eat. But when it came to his mouth, he just couldn't say it.
He also wanted to say some sweet words to comfort people, that night he saw Ye Ci's clever and witty conversation with Su Lianwei, he was so jealous that he forced himself to think hard and come up with something.
"Oh." Lianyi nodded, "Need help?"
The big tiger almost said - no need.
But this time his brain was faster than his mouth, and he ruthlessly intercepted the words that were about to come out. If he refused, Su Lianhui would probably run back into her room to write some kind of plan book again. Although they lived under the same roof, their communication was actually very rare. "Use."
After saying that, he despised himself, when did he start having such a sinister heart?
Lian Wei didn't think much, rolled up his sleeves and took over the task of peeling the rabbit skin. His skilled and experienced hands showed that he had put in a lot of effort back in medical school.
Peeled the skin, washed hands, and started seasoning.
Dà Hǔ stood by, feeling hesitant, wanting to bring up a topic and chat with Sū Lián Yī, cultivating some feelings, but after racking his brains for a long time, he couldn't think of anything.
For the first time, I deeply hated my own introverted personality and even thought to myself in despair, if he were a woman, she would probably like Ye Ci's beautiful appearance and eloquence.
The well-mixed seasoning was applied to the rabbit, inside and out, evenly coated, and then a thin layer of honey was brushed on the outermost layer. The pot was lifted off the stove, and the iron rod with the rabbit on it was placed on the stove's vent hole, and the fire was lit to start roasting.
Lian Wei moved a small stool over, slowly toasting it, and only then thought of it. "Hey, what are you thinking about?" she asked Da Hu with a tilt of her head.
The big tiger was so anxious that his neck was thick and his face was red. He was originally not good at speaking, and now he was even more unsure of what to say for the sake of "speaking".
"I didn't think of anything."
With one hand occasionally flipping over the roasted rabbit skewers, and the other propping up his cheek, "Come sit with me for a bit."
"En." Da Hu nodded and entered the kitchen, finding a small stool to sit on near Su Liangwei.
Lianyi let out a long sigh, "I heard that the prince and several princes in the capital are fighting fiercely, who do you think will win?" In fact, whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with her as a small citizen. The problem is, can't they unite against external enemies before internal strife? To put it bluntly, the people of the world suffer, and to put it mildly, it's delaying her from getting rich.
"Crown Prince." said Da Hu.
Lianyi was taken aback, she didn't expect Da Hu to answer her so readily on this sensitive topic. Could it be... "You're from the Crown Prince's side?"
He was in the military camp, listening to him say that although his official position is not great, he must have "stood up" for a while. But as soon as this question came out, he immediately regretted it, and didn't mention whether Da Hu would answer or not, even if he did, the more she knew now, the more dangerous it would be.
"En." Datou thought for a moment before responding.
Lianyi didn't expect Da Hu to tell her such a secret, and she felt a bit tense. She put down the iron rod in her hand and asked, "Tell me the truth, after your task is over, will you kill me to silence me?"
Dà Hǔ was taken aback, hastily shook his head and refused, "Won't."
Ripples in her heart subsided a bit, she knew Dahu somewhat, as long as he said it, he could do it. "Then tell me the truth again, did you ever... have the intention to kill me before?"
The big tiger was embarrassed for a moment, wanting to lie, but Su Liang asked him the truth, and he had no choice but to answer properly. “...... En.”
“……” Su Lianwei put down her guard, it seemed that what Da Hu said was true. The next question was absolutely a test, when she had just crossed over, Da Hu must have had the intention to kill her, if his second answer was affirmative, then she would have to think of a way to save herself.
Let out a sigh of relief and continued to roast the rabbit.
The big tiger became tense, "Lian... Lian Yi, believe me, I won't hurt you, really." He stuttered, as if he wanted to dig out his true heart and show it to her.
Ripples smiled faintly, "En, I believe you."
The big tiger is half-believing and half-doubting.
"Are other princes... formidable?" Lianyi was somewhat curious.
The big tiger thought for a moment and nodded his head, "En."
"Will the prince definitely win?" Ling asked once more.
"En." Datou's reply was firm.
"When will we win?"
"...". The big tiger was speechless, how did he know? But this question was asked by Su Lianwei, he didn't want to perfunctorily, so he lowered his head and thought carefully, analyzing the various forces. "Half a year."
"Is it accurate?"
"...Big Tiger almost fell to the ground with a thud, he wasn't some all-knowing deity, how would he have known?"
Ripples of laughter burst out, actually she was intentional, teasing this big tiger, it's really interesting. "Jokingly, if you knew, you wouldn't need to stay here, I suppose you would have gone back to assist the crown prince long ago."
But let's get back to the question: is there a necessary connection between the crown prince's struggle for power and Da Hu's hiding in Sujiacun?
"You... I have a question, are you willing to answer me?" Lingling asked hesitantly, she was also an ordinary person with normal curiosity, and the two of them now looked... quite familiar.
The big tiger hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "En."
"What's your mission?" As soon as the words left her mouth, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Liang Yu regretted it and wondered where her usual calmness had gone. Why did she ask such a reckless question? If it was convenient to say, Da Hu would have said it long ago. If it wasn't convenient to say, wouldn't that put Da Hu in an awkward position?
Dà Hǔ guessed what Sū Lián Wēi was going to ask and looked extremely embarrassed, not knowing how to respond or whether he should say anything.
He wanted to get closer to Su Lianwei, he didn't want to have any secrets from Su Lianwei, but this matter was too important, it couldn't...
"Oh no, I was so busy talking that the rabbit is burnt," said Lianyi, changing the subject and starting to flip the rabbit. "What a waste, Rabbit brother, we owe you an apology."
The big tiger lost his smile and was burnt to a crisp. He went back up the mountain to fight again, sorry about the rabbit? What if he was cooked just right, would that make up for it?
Take the rabbit off the iron stick, cut it into several pieces with a knife, and set some aside in a bowl. "Help me send it to Chu Ying, that girl hasn't shown up for days, I don't know what she's busy with, please."
"En." Datou took the bowl and turned around to leave.
It wasn't until she saw the big tiger's back disappear that Su Liangwei finally let out a long sigh of relief.
She just asked too much, who can win and become the emperor, what's it to her? What is Datou's task, what's it to her? She now has a house to live in, food to eat, and no life-threatening crisis, why force Datou to speak?
That kind of behavior, which digs to the root and disregards the feelings of others and one's own circumstances, is too childish. Sometimes, these secrets are a form of protection, not just for oneself, but also for others. As long as it doesn't violate principles, what's wrong with keeping secrets?
Ripples thought of this, suddenly burst out laughing, because she thought of the big tiger's entangled contradictions just now, wanting to say but couldn't say yet wanting to say it, was really cute. She had a premonition that if she hadn't opened up the conversation, in the end, under pressure, Big Tiger would have said it out loud.
Da Hu is an interesting man.
When she first arrived at Su's village, she thought that Da Hu was a desperate man, cold and icy, emitting a murderous aura all over his body, as if he would strangle someone to death with just one wrong word. It has to be said that at that time, she was wary of Da Hu, on guard against him, and also using him.
Later, as I got to know him better, I found that Da Hu was a man of great principle, strict with himself. Whether it was his good sleep habits, personal hygiene, or his daily trip to Xian Shui Tan for a bath, he never wavered.
According to what he said, he also held a position in the military camp. When he came to Suzhai Village, he could lower his status to farm, which was just for several months. Even now, she had suggested not farming, but he still went to take care of that little land every day, indicating that he set goals for himself and strictly implemented them.
Now, however, it turns out that Da Hu is a simple person, very simple.
Perhaps because he was born in the military camp and grew up in the military camp, he would not deceive or calculate. He opened his heart to others, truly opening it, just like now with... her.
He is always quietly good to her, when she writes plans, she can feel that he wants to talk to her, but every time at the door, he takes a look and leaves silently, not daring to disturb. As long as she needs it, he will go all out to help, without expecting anything in return.
He wanted to be completely open with her, forcing himself to break his principles time and again, until she couldn't bear to see him making things so difficult for himself.
Lianyi had just finished arranging the rabbit meat on a plate and was carrying it under the tree when she saw Da Hu running back, holding an empty bowl.
Under the sunset, the tiger's figure is more slender and straight, with a straight back, a high nose, and pure eyes.
"You're back just in time, we were about to have dinner." Lianyi smiled and welcomed him. In her heart, she was even more enchanted with this simple courtyard, simple life, and simple Da Hu.
……
Ye Cai's order ended, and the Su Family Winery was no longer busy. As long as they worked normally, they didn't need to stock up much, because Qian Hui didn't open up new markets anymore, only maintaining the existing old channels. Although the demand increased with the deepening of the market, it was still within the winery's capacity.
Ripples started developing cosmetics officially.
In addition to the previous wine yeast mask, they also developed a softening water, cream and powder. These four are a set, called Shén Xiān Fāng.
There are four reasons for developing cosmetics: First, after the war, in preparation for expanding the wine market, adding silver powder to cosmetics is fake, but adding it to wine is true. Second, the winery will eventually be handed over to her older brother Su Hao, and she wants to make a clear account with him, as family businesses are difficult to manage, and she can't calculate with her future sister-in-law or niece and nephew. In ancient times, there was no shareholding system, so these things need to be prepared for in advance. Third, since she has traveled through time and space and can't think of a way back to modern times, she wants to find some business to occupy herself, which is also a way to pass the time. Fourth, if...if she really can't find her soulmate in this life, then she will live alone, use the cosmetics factory to support herself, and adopt orphans.
She has long passed the age of fantasy, and truly getting by in life is not about grand vows or romantic promises. Everything still depends on being down-to-earth and relying on reality.
At the entrance of the village, on a vacant lot, Lianyi invested in building a courtyard. The courtyard was very delicate and feminine, it was the factory for Shen Xian Fang cosmetics. They hired many young women from the surrounding areas. It's worth noting that working in this factory with fragrant flowers and herbs every day is much more comfortable than working in the fields. As a result, applicants flocked to apply.
Finally, Liangui personally selected some who looked honest and diligent, and left twenty people, adding Zhao Shi, the eldest maternal aunt, and Wu Shi, the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family, making a total of twenty-two people.
Zhao and Wu were both capable, and Lianyi appointed them as managers. Zhao was in charge of supervising production, while Wu was responsible for the transportation of raw materials and products. Wu was different from Zhao, after all still young, with strong learning ability, Lianyi taught some and immediately picked up.
This Wu family is indeed loyal to Su Lianwei, and they would not hesitate to give their lives for her if they had a knife. The reason is that Su Lianwei is the benefactor who saved the Sun family, without whom Sun Dahai would not have survived, and the Sun family would have perished long ago.
The Sun family is no longer like it used to be. Sun Dahai can work now, and Wu Shi has become a manager at the cosmetics factory. In the past, they were so poor that they couldn't even afford to cook, but now they have suddenly become a wealthy household. Not only did they renovate their old house, but they also added several new rooms.
Because Chun Yue's body was heavy, Liang Wei didn't want her to overwork, so she stopped her classes and let Sun Xiao Jin and Su Bai go to the county town private school to study. Sun Xiao Jin was extremely intelligent, coupled with Chun Yue's good enlightenment education for him, now he is the top student in the entire academy.
Su Bai fell behind a bit, but through this series of experiences, he came to realize the importance of knowledge and worked hard to study.
The winery is now on the right track, and both the winery manager and the wine shop manager can handle it. With not many orders, except for reporting to Su Lianwei on time, she basically doesn't have to worry about it.
Lian Yu has been very busy these days, running back and forth between the cosmetics factory and the county town, finding craftsmen to customize packaging boxes and ordering ceramic bottles from shops. If previously Lian Yu could spin around with a nail stuck in her foot, now she can spin two tops at once, which shows how busy she is.
That day, Lianyi was busy until very late, had a casual dinner in the county town, and also packed some food for Datou. When she drove the donkey cart back home, it was already pitch dark.
Da Hu is boiling water in the kitchen, it's Su Lianyi's bathwater. Since he knows she's been busy outside all day, he can't help with work, so he does some things to share her burden.
"I'm back." The ripples subsided from the donkey cart, and he let out a long sigh. This small courtyard is quiet enough, it's still better at home.
Dahu quickly came out of the kitchen, took over the reins, led the donkey cart to the animal shed outside the yard, unloaded the car, tied up the donkey, added fodder, and then came in.
Although Lianyi was tired, she still washed her hands and took out a bowl and chopsticks to serve the take-out food for Datou.
Dahuo also didn't idle around, carrying hot water into Su Liangwei's small room to prepare warm water for her bath.
Two people are so strange, each doing their own thing, but all for each other, no need for many words, day after day like this.
After finishing his meal, Da Hu wiped his hands clean and obediently went to the table under the tree to eat dinner. Lian Yi, on the other hand, threw away the greasy paper from the takeout, entered her room, closed the door, and plunged herself into the bathtub, closing her eyes in gratitude that this busy day had finally passed, and she could finally rest.
Just as Su Lianwei was dozing off in the bathtub, Chu Ying came with a big belly and a bundle in her arms, pushed open the courtyard door, looked at Da Hu and asked, "Where's Lianwei?"
The big tiger pointed inside the house, didn't make a sound, and continued eating.
Xu Ye didn't stand on ceremony, entering the house and sitting down in the hall. He opened his bundle. "Lian Yi, I've arrived. Call me after you've bathed." His heart ached for Lian Yi, who had to run around in this sweltering heat. The first thing she did when she got home was take a bath to relieve her fatigue.
After taking a bath, I feel like I've come back to life. I casually put on an undergarment and wrapped myself in a specially made "bath towel", and poked my head out into the room, "Chu Ying, is there something going on?"
Xiao Yue saw Ling Wei and smiled as she picked up the clothes from the small package, "I just finished making a skirt for you to wear to the Chrysanthemum Festival, come try it on, guaranteed to stun everyone."
"…." Su Liangwei was on the verge of tears, "Don't scare me, Chu Ying you understand me, I just want to keep a low profile and make soy sauce."
Xiao Yue pouted, "How can that be? Which girl doesn't want to be beautiful? Besides, what's soy sauce and why do you need to hit it?"
The country of Yuan has no soy sauce to speak of.
Ripples sighed and said, "Come in."
As he spoke, he flashed aside and made way for Chun Yue. Chun Yue then smiled and entered.
After finishing his meal, Da Hu took the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them. After washing, he put them away and went inside to change into clean clothes, preparing to go to Xian Shui Tan for a bath as usual. Just as he was pulling down the towel from the clothesline outside the courtyard, ready to leave, Lian Yi's room door was suddenly pushed open and Chu Yue ran out of it.
"Big Tiger, come and see quickly, Lianyi is so beautiful!"
Dahou turned around and saw Chuying holding her belly and running out of the house, closely followed by Su Liangwei.
It was better not to look, but the moment Da Hu set his eyes on Su Lianwei's body, he immediately forgot what he should do, and in his mind, there was only astonishment.
America, it's really too beautiful!
The woman in front of her had a tall and slender figure, with black hair scattered all over her body. Her face was like a lotus flower that had not been stained by powder, with high eyebrows and deep eyes, a white jade-like complexion, and lips painted with a hint of red.
She is beautiful, and Da Hu has always known it. However, in her daily life, Su Lianyi always neatly combs her soft and dense hair into a bun, with either a jade pin or a silver pin inserted on top, never over-accessorizing. Her old-fashioned hairstyle and solemn attire conceal more than half of her beauty.
Now her hair hangs down without any adornment, swaying gently with every move she makes. On her body is a snow-white feathered robe.
Thin brocade paired with white gauze, layer by layer forming a thousand-layered skirt hem, with folds and hanging down, extremely soft and smooth. The top is the popular yuanbao collar of the time, slightly lower, her snow-white neck and crystal-like clavicle are exposed, capturing people's attention and snatching their eyeballs.
Cloudy sleeves fluttering, inside is thin brocade narrow sleeve, while outside is matched with thin gauze wide sleeve.
A white dress was already floating and ethereal, but on the top, a bright red silk thread embroidered beautiful flowers, the flowers had golden stamens, so realistic that they seemed to emit fragrance. These flowers suddenly scattered at the hem of the skirt, like a fairy scattering flowers.
As the flowers gradually spread to the hem, they became more and more sparse, fewer and fewer, until only a few petals were left at the edge of the hem. Su Lianhui, wearing this fairy's flower skirt, was like stepping on the delicate flower petals as she moved forward.
"This is too showy! I absolutely won't wear this!" The dreamlike woman shouted, breaking the dreamlike atmosphere and pulling Da Hu back to reality.
Chu Ying suddenly spoke up from beside him, "Why don't you wear it? Wear it, I won't show off, and I didn't use any big green or purple."
"Don't wear it." Liangliang turned around and wanted to go back to the house to change out of this dress. She went to the banquet, just to show off her Su family's status, so that outsiders wouldn't bully them anymore, nothing more than that, not to show off or attract attention.
The firefly couldn't take it anymore, "No way, you have to wear this one, otherwise I'll cry in front of you."
Lianyi was really angry, "Cry."
Chu Ying didn't expect that Su Liangwei, who was usually so proud and arrogant, would actually make herself cry. That golden bean-like person immediately burst into loud wails, "You can't...not wear it...Waaahhh...I spent eleven whole days making this skirt for you...Waaahhh..."
Su Lianwei, who was about to close the door, paused and thought, "Right, I haven't seen Chu Ying's figure for over a dozen days." She usually came to scrounge for food, and even sent over the wild rabbit that Da Hu had caught that day.
"Waaahhh... You can't waste someone's kindness, they... they sewed those flowers for you and their eyes hurt, waaahhh... A total of 371 flowers, 29 petals... waaahhh... not a single one is the same..."
Lianyi lowered her head, looking at the flowers on her skirt. Only then did she surprisingly discover that it was indeed just as Chu Ying had said - those vivid and lifelike flowers, either bashfully half-closed or passionately blooming, each one unique, without any repetition. This garment could be considered a thousand times better than what the master tailors in the capital were making at the time... no, ten thousand times!
"Waaahhh... My hands are all calloused... Waaahhh..." Chu Yue continued to wail loudly, but in reality, her crying was half true and half fake. She had indeed been wronged, as she had long wanted to make a stunning dress for Lian Hui, so she had really put in a lot of effort into making the clothes.
She vowed that this was the first time in her life she had put so much effort into making something, and even if it were for sale, she wouldn't sell it for a thousand gold coins. But if Lingling really didn't want to wear it, then she would give up.
Continue to cry out loud, praying in her heart that Lianyi would agree to let her wear it. Normally, Lianyi was the most fond of her, so she should soften and agree, yes, definitely will.
Da Hu frowned, looking at Chu Ying with a slanted gaze, also very disapproving. How could this Chu Ying take advantage of Lian Hui's affection for her to threaten Lian Hui? Moreover, such a beautiful Lian Hui... he really couldn't bear it.
On ordinary days, dressing so normally and properly still attracted Ye Ciyu that playboy, if going out like this... the consequences are unthinkable!
Lianyi really wanted to refuse, but looking at Chunyue's small figure with the pear flower in the rain, and then lowering her head to look at these various flowers, thinking of Chunyue's words, her heart was filled with emotion.
Chu Ying's thoughts, she could understand, but... forget it, "Huang Chu Ying." Her tone turned cold.
When Xī Yuè saw Liǎn Yī being called by her full name, she felt a bit nervous, and her large eyes, like those of a young deer, looked at Su Liǎn Yī with trepidation. The latter's heart softened when she saw those eyes, unable to resist the genuine affection.
"This is the first and last time, you use someone else's sincerity as a threat, it will only waste others' sincerity towards you, do you understand?" Liang Wei's face was stern, but her eyes were filled with pain.
Chu Ying's heart was filled with anxiety, and she knew that what she did was a bit excessive, so she nodded reluctantly.
"This time, I'll go along with you. Since you've taken the trouble to make this dress, I won't waste your good intentions. I'll wear it to the gathering, but remember, there won't be a next time."
Xiao Yue hastily nodded vigorously, "I know, there won't be a next time, don't worry." But in her heart, she was both afraid and excited. Afraid that because of this incident, Ling Yu wouldn't like her anymore. Excited, naturally, thinking about Ling Yu's stunning beauty captivating everyone.
A girl, who doesn't want herself to be the most beautiful? She likes Su Lianwei the most, so she naturally hopes that Su Lianwei is also the most beautiful.
The big tiger was very angry, its teeth clenched tightly in its mouth, staring at Chu Ying with a murderous gaze.
Chu Yue shrugged and pretended not to see, happily following Lian Yi into the room to change clothes.
The big tiger slammed the courtyard door, and his mind was filled with ripples that left those so-called rich young masters stunned, and then he was chased away from the scene, unable to shake it off.
……
Su Lian's home was very lively, in contrast, another family's courtyard was full of the sound of smashing things.
"Su Lianwei, you slut!" Jiang Shi yelled at the top of her lungs, slamming a jar to the ground with such force that it seemed as if she was smashing Su Lianwei herself. "It's all because of you that my husband ignores me, you slut!"
Another stack of bowls was smashed. "Su Hao, you heartless man, what's wrong with me? Why do you always listen to that cheap woman Su Lianwei?"
No way, she must think of a way to turn the situation around and win Su Hao's heart back!
