Chapter 93 Not Even a Leaf
"It's all my fault." Aunt Shi lowered her head. She didn't think it was a big deal at first, but after hearing what Shi Lizheng said, she suddenly became anxious. She didn't care that it was night time and followed Shi Lizheng to the Xiao family to apologize.
"The workshop incident isn't a big deal, but, as I've already said, Aunt Shi leaked this to everyone..." Xiao Jiuyue stretched out her tone, looking troubled as she said, "Shi Lizheng, what do you think we should do about this?"
"Miss Xiao, I, I am just venting my anger for you." Aunt Shi was frightened by Xiao Jiuyue's words. She had been smiling when she spoke to her before, but the way she looked at people always made her feel a little... uneasy and uneasy.
Aunt Shi looked at her old man for help. Shi Lizheng pondered for a long time before saying, "There is no order without rules. From now on, I will let my eldest daughter-in-law take charge of the workshop. Is that okay?"
"Old man." Aunt Shi panicked instantly when she heard this.
Shi Lizheng didn't look at her, but said, "Miss Xiao, my eldest daughter-in-law Tian is very cautious and careful in her work. Miss Xiao, please take a look before deciding whether to use her or not."
"Shi Lizheng really cares about Madam, and it just so happens that Aunt Shi is at home enjoying the company of her grandchildren and the happiness of family life." Xiao Jiuyue's smiling words made Aunt Shi anxious. She was about to speak when Shi Lizheng glared back at her.
Aunt Shi could only swallow her words. Once she left the Xiao family, she couldn't hold it back any longer: "It's not a big deal. Why don't you let me go to the workshop to work?" She even wanted to go to the workshop to show off!
Everyone in the village listens to her, how impressive!
"I told you a long time ago to keep your mouth shut, but you just wouldn't listen." Shi Lizheng pulled at his jacket and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
"No, you have to explain it clearly now." Aunt Shi looked back at the Xiao family's old house. Under the bright moonlight, the quaint Xiao family's old house looked even more solemn and majestic.
"You..." Shi Lizheng looked back at her as if she was about to cheat. He sighed and said, "Let me ask you, if you do something wrong, should you be punished?"
"I, I am just venting my anger for Miss Xiao, aren't I?" Aunt Shi's words were filled with guilt. She just spoke too hastily. God knows this news cannot be told to her parents' home. She is really feeling suffocated.
"Are you doing this to vent your anger, or to show off?" Shi Lizheng glanced at her and said, "It's just like the kids at home. If they're naughty, you starve them and beat them up. But you can't just do nothing. Otherwise, how will you be able to control your grandchildren in the future?"
"Of course I can't do anything about it. If they're not disciplined for three days, they'll tear the tiles off the roof." Aunt Shi answered without thinking. After a while, she came to her senses and asked, "Then, then is this the same thing?"
"Of course it's the same. Miss Xiao trusted us, gave us money to build a workshop, and bought oranges from the village. Do you think she's just like any other girl in the village?" Shi Lizheng looked at her and said, "The workshop is a serious matter. You should go home and reflect on this matter."
"How come it's okay now?" Aunt Shi caught up with Shi Lizheng, still feeling something was wrong.
Shi Lizheng had no choice but to break it down and explain the importance of it to Aunt Shi. Finally, he concluded: "Tian is also a member of our Shi family. She works carefully, and nothing will go wrong in the workshop."
"I, I'm looking after the workshop, and nothing goes wrong." Aunt Shi muttered, and the chaotic scene of last year flashed through her mind. If it weren't for her eldest daughter-in-law helping her, there would have been trouble. Aunt Shi immediately shut her mouth again.
After Goudan's mother and Sun Liuniang had a fight, neither of them went to the workshop to cause trouble.
Xiao Jiuyue had met Tian. Compared to Aunt Shi's love of showing off, Tian was indeed a capable and organized person. With Aunt He watching, Xiao Jiuyue prepared the pickled radishes and sauerkraut with peace of mind.
In Shengjing, in a luxurious mansion, a pigeon flew into the yard.
Guo Sheng took the letter from the pigeon's leg and immediately went to the bamboo forest behind the main courtyard. The cold wind was blowing, and in the bamboo forest, a dark green figure was like a phantom. The sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and bamboo leaves fell like snowflakes. Wherever the sword pointed, there was no intact bamboo leaf.
"Good!" Guo Sheng clapped his hands excitedly, looked at the note in his hand, and then said, "Third Master, this is a letter from Lan Cang."
In the bamboo forest, the man's figure was stretched out by the rising sun, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist seemed to form an inverted triangle. He casually threw the sword to Guo Yang, who took the letter with his bony fingers and took a look at it.
"Third Master, Miss Xiao is asking for too much. Forty percent profit, she..." Guo Sheng was cut off by Jun Lie's gaze before he could finish his words. Guo Sheng swallowed, rolled his eyes, and praised, "Miss Xiao is definitely a business genius."
Guo Sheng was delighted when he didn't get a glare and continued, "Just with these ten dishes, Zeng Qing's business is booming. He earns more money than the restaurants in the capital."
"If you ask me, Miss Xiao's is a golden bowl that lays..." golden eggs.
Guo Sheng barely finished his words when Guo Yang's sword, sheathed in place, landed in front of him. His expression changed, and he looked at Guo Yang and yelled, "Guo Yang, are you sick?"
"Take it." Guo Yang immediately let go. Guo Sheng held the sword with both hands and muttered, "Third Master's sword, you broke it. Can you afford to pay for it?"
Jun Lie took the letter, walked a few steps, and then turned back to look at Guo Sheng: "Sweep the bamboo forest clean, there can't be a single leaf left."
"Third Master, I'll have someone sweep it right away." Guo Sheng responded immediately. The next moment, Jun Lie's cold voice rang out: "You sweep it."
Guo Sheng: "..." He held the sword, looking at the bamboo leaves all over the ground, his face full of tears. He rolled his eyes and looked at Guo Yang and said: "Guo Yang, we are brothers."
Guo Yang took a step back, his eyes seemed to say: I don’t have such a stupid brother.
Guo Sheng walked forward holding the sword and asked, "Guo Yang, what does that look mean?"
"Stupid." Guo Yang turned and left.
"Guo Yang! I'm so unlucky that I have to be your brother." Guo Sheng looked at the bamboo fountains all over the ground, his face almost black.
Inside the room, Jun Lie wrote the word "OK" in a flamboyant manner and handed it to Guo Yang, who arrived a step later, saying, "Send it over as quickly as possible."
"Don't worry, Third Master." Guo Yang carefully rolled up the note and put it into the small bamboo tube.
"Spring is here, and it's time to go out and look for medicine for the Empress Dowager." Jun Lie looked into the distance and said, "Send someone to prepare it."
Guo Yang paused while holding the small bamboo tube containing the letter, and replied, "Yes."
…
"Butler Jin, has something happened to Jiayuan and the others?" When Xiao Jiuyue saw Butler Jin coming back, she immediately became worried about the two children.
"No, Miss, I heard about the Xiao family's affairs in the teahouse today." Manager Jin told her everything he heard in the teahouse about the Xiao family's property being confiscated and exiled.
Luo Kui was carrying dessert over and said, "The news from Hongdu is so lagging behind. It only took half a year to get here?"
