Standing together through thick and thin

Mrs. Zhao quickly waved her hand, "Well, how good is this? We are all relatives. When the time comes, I will pick the flowers and give them to you as rouge. As for the money, there is no need to mention it. You have helped us so much. We should help you too."

"This is a business, and it's not just walking around on weekdays! I don't want a daily amount, but a daily amount. I can make a batch of limited-edition rouge and sell it in the town. I'm sure I can make money. I used the grease I made, isn't it very good?"

"That's what you did?" Zhao looked at Shaoqiu in disbelief, and immediately laughed, "It's really easy to use, Nunu and I used it, and the frostbite on our face has healed, our skin is smooth, and our hands are smooth." It’s not swollen anymore, but it’s comfortable, and Nunu’s complexion is much fairer and tender, and I’d like to thank Brother Qiu for making such a good ointment.”

Both Mrs. Zhao and Lu Erniu couldn't laugh or cry. They came here to talk, and they talked about business.

"You're welcome. It's made for use. Don't be reluctant to use it. Grease, if you don't use it, it will go bad, just like cooked rice. If you don't eat it, it will go bad."

"What are you talking about!" Mrs. Zhao felt that comparing fat to rice, she simply didn't know how to say it.

"Anyway, that's what it means!" Shao Qiu laughed.

Grease that can make people beautiful is not too much to sell. For women, such things are the most desirable. How many women don't like to make themselves beautiful?

It's just that Shaoqiu couldn't find a buyer. At first, with the help of Chen Yu, he knew the shopkeeper in the town, but now he went to the capital. Taking the high-end route, he can't sell it in the Fireworks and Willow Alley. Although that place is indeed quite profitable, Shaoqiu wants to take the high-end route. It is best to sell it to some wealthy families, or dignitaries. If it spreads among the public, the low-level people will think that it is powerful.Besides, low-level people would hardly buy such things as rouge cream. Wouldn't it be a waste for him to make it and no one would buy it?

Speaking of which, Shao Qiu actually didn't like such a division, but who made this society like this, so he could only follow this path.

"Auntie, tell me about Mrs. Liu, what's going on! She's really good at business?"

"That's right, this Mrs. Liu, speaking of it, she is also a powerful person! Her family lives in Ji County, and the family is in business. She is very thin. Her parents only have her one daughter. In order to keep the family business of Nuo Da , ready to recruit people."

"You also know that this son-in-law is very shameless and has no status. Not many men are willing to do that, and Mrs. Liu, she has high requirements for recruiting a son-in-law. He must be a young man who has passed the exam. Yes, somehow, Mrs. Liu fell in love with Lu Juren, and brought him home to be her son-in-law. The Lu family didn't agree, but Lu Juren himself agreed, and kept it from the family. I went to the Liu family." She even let the girl get pregnant without getting married. However, although Mrs. Zhao doesn't like it, she won't deliberately talk about other people's private affairs. It's not a good reputation, and it's not good to say these things in front of children.

So Mrs. Zhao continued to talk about other things, "As of today, I heard that the Liu family's family business is getting bigger and bigger, and the money in their hands is getting more and more. This money is all earned by Mrs. Liu outside. After Lu Juren passed the exam, he couldn't pass the exam anymore. Every day, he recruited good-looking maidservants, geishas, ​​and daughters from Hualiu Alley to sing poems, dance and play, and sing songs every night. He was very happy. Mrs. Liu is such a powerful person, I don't care about it, but Lu Juren is very happy, and Liu Juren often rides a carriage back to the hometown with gifts, but it is beautiful, if it wasn't for the son-in-law who came to visit , everyone in the village is envious."

"Brother and sister, how do you know about this?" Lu felt that things in the county were too far away from them, but Zhao knew so much.

"Sister, you forgot, we live next door to Lu's! I can talk to Lu's second wife, but Lu's second wife really doesn't like Lu Juren. Lu Juren passed the Juren exam, so there is no shortage of family members. What kind of daughter-in-law can’t be found if he eats at a stretch or is short of what he needs to study? Why would he go to someone to be a door-to-door son-in-law? If I’m ashamed, Second Lu’s daughter-in-law will always bite me!”

"So that's the case, brother Qiu, why do you want to know that Mrs. Liu, that powerful person, the rich people in the county, we can't climb up high." Lu doesn't like to listen to other people's private affairs, Zhao Knowing so much, you just need to know it in your heart. What if someone overhears you?

"Mother, it's okay. It's not like I don't know how to do business. I want to learn! Auntie, don't listen to my mother, tell me quickly, what kind of person is Mrs. Liu?"

Seeing Shaoqiu's eager face, Lu Shi sighed helplessly, and went out into the kitchen to make lunch. She didn't like to hear such lip-smacking things, and she wouldn't even say it, she would rot in her stomach.

Lu Erniu glanced at Lu Shi, thought about it and followed him out.

He hasn't seen his sister for many years, and he didn't talk much about his legs and feet before, but now he wants to have a good chat with his sister, especially what happened yesterday, after what Zhao said, he felt that it was necessary to let his sister know, Zhao said it was wrong Well, it seemed like trying to provoke a relationship, but it was no problem for him.

Shao Qiu saw that Shi Lu also went out, and the rest of the family were sent back to the house by him, only him and Zhao Shi were left at this moment.

"Auntie, keep talking!"

"Brother Qiu, in fact, my aunt doesn't know much about it. It was the second daughter-in-law of Lu who told me about it. That's why I know it." Zhao said to Shaoqiu, not wanting to say too much about the grown-ups.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you know how to do business like this, it's okay to learn it. Even if I can't be like her, if I learn a little bit, my family won't continue to starve."

"Well, Brother Qiu is really sensible."

It was the first time that Shao Qiu, who was praised by others, was so depressed. He was no longer a child, but Mrs. Zhao still treated him as a child, "Auntie, don't you want me to make money from that fat? I want to sell the fat, but, You also need to know how to sell it? If you tell me about Mrs. Liu, maybe if I know more about Mrs. Liu, I will know how to sell it? Moreover, I have grown up, although I am not married yet, but I already have a son-in-law at home, and I have to support this family in the future! If I know more, I can live a better life, don’t you think so, aunt~~~” “Brother Qiu, actually, I really don’t know anything else.” Zhao also said helplessly: “If I knew, how could I hide it from you? Look, if it weren’t for you, Nunu and I would have suffered on our faces and hands too. .”

"Aunt is lying, you are not talking about Xianghuaer at all." Shaoqiu suddenly changed his face, which made Zhao Shi stunned, "Brother Qiu, what did you say?"

Shaoqiu smiled, "Auntie, I say that, don't blame me for being disrespectful, but my mother has suffered for so many years, and now she is living a better life. I don't want her to be sad because of other things. No wonder she is sad. Auntie You can talk to the Lu family next door about the matter of fragrant flowers. There is no need to talk to my mother. Besides, who would come all the way here just to talk about it? Aunt, are you doing it for My mother is here!"

"You, you..." Looking at Shao Qiu's mysterious face with a smile, Zhao didn't know what to say for a while, "You, how do you know?"

"Isn't it obvious? Didn't I just say that? Auntie, I'm no longer a child. For my mother, my brother, and my family, I dare to do anything, and I will do anything. So, you Don't hide it from me, what happened? Why do you suddenly ask my mother if she remembers Lu Juren? What's going on?"

Shao Qiu was too perceptive, for a moment Zhao didn't know how to refute Shao Qiu's words.

In the end, under the persuasion of Shao Qiu's eyes, Mrs. Zhao sighed and talked about the matter that Lu Juren came after they left last night.

"What does Juren Lu look at my mother for?" Shaoqiu is still puzzled. This Juren Lu has never seen his mother. No, Juren Lu lived next door to Lu's family when he was a child. That is to say, these two are childhood sweethearts. Not sure what else happened.

Shao Qiu's guess is not wrong, Lu Juren and Lu Shi are indeed childhood sweethearts.

"Your mother was a village flower in our village back then! Don't mention how good-looking she is. Those eyes, like water, rubbed into the heart. I don't know how many people broke through the door and wanted to marry your mother." Daughter-in-law, this Lu Juren is one of them. Your mother and Lu Juren were childhood sweethearts since childhood, and Lu Juren often took care of your mother. Later, for some reason, your mother suddenly became unfamiliar with Lu Juren and stopped playing together. However, Lu Juren still misses your mother. After passing the scholar examination, he clamored that the family would propose marriage. But in the end, before their family agreed to propose marriage, your mother chose your father. It was a good feeling, and it really broke the hearts of many people at that time."

Shao Qiu suddenly became deep in thought.

If that day, Lu Juren really went to his uncle's house to see his mother, why?Do you never forget your mother, or do you want to relieve the pain of lovesickness back then?

After Mrs. Lu married Shao Ruide, she never left the Shao family. It might be okay for Shao Ruide to be around for the first few years, but after Shao Ruide left, there was no news of him coming back every year. Everyone thought he was dead, and Mrs. Lu became a widow. The training was bitter and tiring, and Lu Juren didn't come to help. Now Lu Juren suddenly wants to see Mrs. Lu, why?

Shaoqiu was feeling restless, so he heard Zhao continue to say: "Brother Qiu, in fact, back then, your mother and Lu Juren were likely to get married, but I don't know what I heard, my sister ignored him all day long. I shut myself in the house and didn't go to see him. No matter what Lu Juren did, my sister just ignored her. In the end, before Lu Juren proposed marriage, my sister decided to marry your father. At that time, your father and your mother, I haven't known each other for long. These things were all told to me by your uncle later!"

"I see. I'll check to see what's going on. If there's nothing wrong, it's fine. If there's anything wrong, I'll take good care of my mother. Don't worry!"

"Brother Qiu, you are a filial person." Mrs. Zhao sighed.
