Flowers in full bloom

"Madame Li, take a few maids to Qingge's room and sort out all the jewelry and clothes. Just as Zhenzhu said, put all the unsuitable ones in my private storeroom. Bring me the detailed list." She looked at Han Qingge, who was lying on the ground and couldn't cry anymore, and said, "Go back and be your cousin. If you don't want to continue living in the Marquis' Mansion, I'll find a reason to send you back in a few days."

"Aunt, I..."

"Don't say anything. I will explain the whole thing to my brother and his wife. I used to think you were just a kid, and it was normal for you to have some small thoughts when you saw something you liked, but now you are becoming more and more self-righteous. It was your idea to let the kitchen cut back on Qihuayuan's food."

"Aunt, I..."

"I really valued you so much that I misled the eldest son's family. How dare you use my name to do such despicable things? I don't like Hua Yatou, but I still disdain to deduct the food rations of the siblings.

In the girls' school, you mocked Hua Yatou for her grandfather who had passed away and was a poor scholar who taught his brothers to do bad things to the Hua family boys in the clan school. This is what you should do as a young lady and eldest sister of a noble family. Go to Qihuayuan to mock a girl who has no father, no mother, no elders, but has been working hard to raise her younger brother and do rough work?

You even went to the old lady to set a trap for Hua Yatou. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Not to mention that you are just a cousin of a marquis's mansion, even if you are Rong Jin's wife, you have no right to do this? Have you seen the girl from the Xie family recently, named Xie Shiyun, because she agreed with you in the clan school, she was sent back to the countryside in less than a month. Don't you know?

You think the old lady doesn't know what you did, she just let you go for the sake of your grandparents. Don't be ignorant of your own limitations, if the old lady really takes action that day, I won't be able to save you."

Madam Han was furious. She turned around and instructed the maid beside her, "Let Madam Li go to the kitchen first and tell them to arrange the meals for Qihuayuan well. Just do what needs to be done. Follow the old lady's original arrangement. If you are still confused, stay at the farm. Come back to the cousin's courtyard in the outer courtyard and give these guys a good beating. If they dare to do bad things to others on purpose, send them back to me directly and don't stay in the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone thinks they are the master." Madam Han was a little angry after giving the order.

Han Qingge knelt forward, patting Madam Han's back while crying, "Aunt, please forgive Qingge. Qingge won't dare to do it again, Aunt."

"You should control your temper and look at your own situation carefully, and stop being so self-righteous." "I know, aunt." Han Qingge cried out of breath. "Go back to the room." Madam Han was upset. Chunhua came up tremblingly, helped Han Qingge, who could no longer stand up, and went back to the room.

In the small courtyard of Qihuayuan, Hualei was arranging books and papers on the table. After half a day, her back and waist ached a little. Fortunately, several maids helped and had already repaired a large pile of books. After she finished arranging the things on the small table, Xiaoyuan also came back. Hualei washed her hands and stretched her sore back in the small courtyard. Lanyue and Lanxing, who had gone to get dinner, came back. The brother and sister were ready to eat. Originally there was only one meat dish and one vegetable dish, but today it suddenly changed back to the original three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and two soups. The staple food also became the original three. The brother and sister were a little puzzled.

However, since it is delivered, let's eat it. Hualei and Xiaoyuan finished their dinner with their own thoughts. It has been a long time since they had such a comfortable meal. Xiaoyuan thought to himself, but what he didn't expect was that the mischief against him in the clan school was gone. He could finally study peacefully.

The next day, Hualei and Zhenzhu told Mrs. Pei in the morning that they would go out in the afternoon. Mrs. Pei agreed without asking any questions.

At noon, the two had lunch in Qihuayuan and went out of the house directly through the small door in the northeast corner. In the carriage, Hualei asked Zhenzhu, "Do you want to open a store of your own?" Zhenzhu shook her head. "Then why don't you open a bookstore?" Zhenzhu was stunned. "Okay, then I can also repair books with you in the house in the future. That's great. My maids can read, so I can ask them to help." Zhenzhu was happy. "I envied you for being able to make money while reading storybooks every day. Now it's good, I can do the same." Zhenzhu began to look forward to it.

"We can decide whether to open a bookstore after we go and see it today. Besides, opening a bookstore doesn't necessarily mean making money." "Ah, isn't it just my decision whether to open a bookstore? What decision do we need to make today? Are we going to see the owner and the clerks?" Hua Lei was speechless. It seemed that Zhenzhu still had a long way to go before opening a store.

Then, in the carriage, Hualei talked to Zhenzhu in detail about opening a shop. Zhenzhu was stunned. Are there so many things to do? The carriage was very fast. An hour later, Hualei and Zhenzhu had arrived at Zhenzhu's shop in Xicheng District. There were some daily necessities scattered in the shop. There was no warehouse behind the shop, so some goods were piled at the back of the shop, which was messy.

Hualei took out a rope from her cloth bag and measured the length and width of the shop with it. She then took out her notebook and carefully recorded it. Zhenzhu was stunned. Then she took Zhenzhu on a carriage and started to go back and forth from street to street to see what other shops were doing. From time to time, she took out her notebook to record something. Then she discussed it in detail with Zhenzhu.

After looking at the situation around the store, Hua Lei told Zhenzhu about various things to pay attention to when opening a store on the way back in the carriage, how to decide what kind of business to do, what materials to prepare if one really wants to open a bookstore, and the situations that may be encountered in the future, and then let Zhenzhu think carefully about whether to open a bookstore.

When they returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was almost dark. They still entered the mansion through the back door. When they parted, Hualei told Zhenzhu to go back and think about it carefully, and not to publicize it yet, and wait until she had made an analysis. Zhenzhu nodded.

That night, Hualei did a summary based on the situation of Zhenzhu's shop and its surroundings. When Zhenzhu saw the analysis chart made by Hualei, she was shocked. She didn't expect that opening a shop was so complicated. Looking at the key points listed one by one, she really admired Hualei. "How about we go to Songheyuan to ask my grandmother now?" Zhenzhu hesitated. Hualei looked at the sky and said, "Okay, Grandmother Pei should be up from her nap." After sorting out the information, the two went to Songheyuan together.

At this time, Madam Pei was pacing in the house. It was a little hot outside. When she saw Hualei and Zhenzhu, she was a little surprised after hearing their purpose. She didn't expect that they went out to do business. She thought they were just going out to play. But this is a good thing.
