Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

After talking with Mr. Liang, Xiao Tong understood the Duke of Chu behind Bai Shu.

Most of the noble titles in this dynasty are not hereditary, and the titles are eliminated by the recipients themselves.This Duke of Chu was granted the title of Duke because of his meritorious service in supporting the official family in his early years, which is not hereditary.Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager belong to the old school, but they are still powerful in the court, which is the biggest obstacle for the officials and the new prime minister to implement the New Deal.

After hearing this, Xiao Tong breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the Xiao family's case is not completely hopeless.Although she doesn't know much about politics, she still has basic common sense after working in the workplace.

Since it is the obstruction of the officials, the Duke of Chu is naturally placed in the vortex of power, and the officials and the new ministers wish to get rid of him as soon as possible.

On the day when they lose power, Bai's dental firm will also lose its backing, and their Xiao family will have a chance to overturn the case.

The days passed quickly, and the remaining two days were Qixi Festival. Xiao Tong summoned geisha to rehearse "Mulan" twice from beginning to end.Before the rehearsal, I went to Si Qinghu's room, lifted her clothes up to her waist, and checked the wound in person. I was relieved when I saw that the scab had come off from the knife mark.

He couldn't help admiring, "This royal medicine is really powerful!"

"You should be glad I wasn't hurt deeply."

Si Qinghu looked at her and smiled, thinking of something else.

Xiao Tong came to her room. Since the first time, he has become more and more courageous, and he came here very familiarly.Lifting up the clothes to look at the wound, my face doesn't blush and my heart beats, I'm used to it!

On the day before Qixi Festival, the whole city of Bianjing began to be lively, and the streets were decorated with lights and festoons, making it festive.

Since the wave of hunger marketing, the tickets for the three-day performance in the Lotus Canopy and the tickets for the other two Goulan are all sold out. Xiao Tong is in a happy mood. Lin Fang.

"Sister Fang, why are you here?"

Lin Fang smiled, a little embarrassed, "Hannang is still there, didn't you teach me to invite her to watch "Mulan" tomorrow night, I will give her tickets."

She learned from Xiao Tong that Xiao Zhen only left the tooth shop every day after You hour, and she should be able to meet her when she arrived at this time.

Xiao Tong showed a meaningful smile, "Hey, you really put it into action. It's inside!" He patted Lin Fangfang's shoulder and gave an ambiguous wink, "Come on!"

Lin Fangfang looked at Xiao Tong's leaving back, a little confused, what is "come on"?

Without thinking about it, she went straight to Xiao Zhen's work place.

The editorial department of the tabloid is in the front yard of Xiao's House. Lin Fangfang arrived at the door within a few steps, and there was only Xiao Zhen inside. She was clearing the table and preparing to leave.

"Hazel."

Xiao Zhen raised her head and saw Lin Fang standing at the door, she was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Come in!"

Lin Yifang lifted up his dress and stepped into the room, looking around, the small place was elegantly furnished, because Xiao Zhen wanted to write a novel about Hua Mulan, and it was inconvenient to share the same room with the editors of other tabloids, Xiao Tong specially arranged it for her.

The first time Lin Fang came in, he smelled the faint fragrance of jasmine flowers when he entered the door, and saw a large bouquet of white jasmine flowers in a vase on the window sill.

She and Xiao Zhen are both lovers of growing flowers. It can also be said that Xiao Zhen was brought into the wreath by her after meeting her.

That summer, before they were married, they went to a flower garden on the outskirts of the city to enjoy the flowers together. Xiao Zhen leaned in her arms and asked her which flower was her favorite?She said it was Jasmine.

After they got married, their house was filled with jasmine flowers, and every flowering period, the flowers were everywhere, and the fragrance filled the courtyard.So much so that after the divorce, she cherished that field of flowers very much. Every summer, watching them bloom brilliantly, she seemed to feel that Xiao Zhen was still by her side.

Seeing Lin Yifang staring blankly at Jasmine, Xiao Zhen seemed to have been read through his thoughts, and his cheeks burned slightly with embarrassment.

"Why did you come to see me?" In order to break the embarrassment, Xiao Zhen spoke first.

In Lin Fangfang's eyes, Xiao Zhen now speaks calmly, her eyes are shining like stars, she is much more energetic than the one she saw secretly outside the Town God's Temple and Xiangguo Temple in the past.

Because I have been busy with the things I love, I have found the meaning of living.

Lin Yifang took out a hook ticket and handed it to Xiao Zhen, "Tomorrow Qixi Festival, let's watch "Mulan" together!"

Xiao Zhen stared at the square ticket paper, half the size of a palm, with a calm expression, and did not speak for a long time.

Lin Yifang couldn't help being nervous, and stared into Xiao Zhen's eyes affectionately, "Mother Zhen, I'm serious, I just want to watch opera with you alone. Whether it's tomorrow or... in the future!"

"Give us one more chance, please?"

Xiao Zhen remained silent, not knowing what to think of.

Lin Fang said again: "I know that I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have murdered you that night and made you run away from home sad. I shouldn't have agreed to sign and leave the book when I saw you were sad. I should have treated my parents with respect. Don't let them force us to reconcile with each other!"

"We are together again, and I will never quarrel with you in the future!"

Xiao Zhen couldn't bear to listen anymore, she turned her face aside, tears were already rolling in her eyes.

It's been two years, this fool is still saying the same thing, taking all the faults on himself.

Back then, it was obvious that she was childish and willful, caring too much about Lin Yifang and even making trouble unreasonably, but Lin Yifang had tolerated her enough and done well enough.As for being forced to reconcile, she dragged her sick body and couldn't even get out of bed, so how could she stop her parents?

She felt guilty that she almost killed her, cried and knelt on the ground begging her to sign and leave the book, without giving her any reason to refuse.

It was all Xiao Zhen's fault, but Lin Fangfang still couldn't forget her and tolerated her!

She admits that she still cares about her and is trying to make herself better, but is she good enough now?If they were together again, would she still make the same mistake?

Lin Yifang knew her mother Zhen too well, and he knew what she was thinking when she saw her painful and hesitant look.He took a few steps forward and held Xiao Zhen's shoulder, turned her face to look at him, and said softly, "We can take our time."

Xiao Zhen looked at her with watery eyes, thinking about what he said just now.

Take it slow together and get better slowly.

Watching opera together is their first step.

...............

At nightfall of the Qixi Festival, the streets along the Bian River are lit up with lights, and men and women take to the streets, or couples go on a date at the night market, or a few women meet to play.

The sound of talking, laughing and selling was intertwined and mixed, so it was very cheerful and lively.

Dongjiaolou Street is close to the Bian River, and many people are rushing in that direction, the destination is the lotus flower shed in the street.

"Delicious caramel bolo, thirty cents a bag!"

At the door of the lotus shed, Chen's voice was heard at the top of her voice, and many spectators who were about to enter the venue were attracted by her sharp voice.

The caramel popcorn shop is located on the left side of the entrance of the lotus shed. The shop is about three or four meters wide, and the black wooden signboard on the top is inlaid with gold lacquered characters of "Xiao's Popcorn".

There is also a sign next to it, which reads at the door: Audiences of Hua Mulan can buy it with tickets, and a bag only costs [-] cents.

Xiao Zi and Chen Shi were wearing popcorn shop overalls, red bunts, and red headscarves, standing in the store.

Several women lined up to buy popcorn, Chen was in charge of collecting the money, and Xiao Zi was in charge of scooping the popcorn in the pot into paper bags, and handing the full bag of popcorn to the guests.

Xiao Zi opened her mouth, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and said sweetly: "Miss, take it!"

"Miss Sister" was taught by Xiao Tong to call him.

He found that it really worked. All the female guests smiled when they heard it, and some even patted his head and said softly: "The child is so good!"

The back kitchen of the store was rumbling, it was the master making popcorn.

This master is a relative of Chen's natal family. He is honest and has known Chen since he was young. He is a trustworthy person, so Chen hired him and passed on the caramel popcorn technique to him.

In addition, she also hired two small workers to push a pot of popcorn on a cart to sell in other washrooms.

This store opened half a month before Qixi Festival, and the business has not been bad. Now that it is tied up with "Mulan" for an event, it is even more crowded tonight.

Many viewers who bought tickets for "Mulan" saw that they could get a ten-cent discount compared to others, and thought that they would not buy it for nothing, so they all took the tickets to buy a try.

Xiao Tong, Xiao Zhen, and Lin Yifang walked towards the lotus shed. After seeing Mrs. Chen, Xiao Zhen stopped subconsciously, with a layer of concern on his face.

If Mrs. Chen sees her watching "Mulan" with Lin Yifang, Guanbao will make a fuss. She's not afraid of her, but just doesn't want to quarrel with her in public.

Xiao Tong smiled, patted his heart and said: "Leave this matter to me, I will block it, you and sister Fang go in quickly."

Lin Fangfang and Xiao Zhen nodded with a smile.

Xiao Tong walked leisurely in front of Mrs. Chen, leaning sideways on the edge of the stall, just blocking Xiao Zhen's direction.

"Auntie, how is business tonight?"

Now Xiao Tong is like a God of Wealth in Chen's eyes, and Chen's eyelids almost sew up when he saw her.

"Shiro, your idea is really good, you have already sold an extra pot tonight than usual!"

Xiao Tong said: "It's just the beginning. After the customers eat it, it will become more and more popular."

Xiao Zi also interjected: "Mom, I told you earlier, you can definitely make money by listening to Shiro!"

Chen stared at him angrily, telling him not to interrupt.

Originally, Xiao Zi was planning to let Xiao Zi help sell popcorn, and he would go back to study hard after suffering, but he didn't expect that the more he sold, the happier he was.

When Chen saw it, he became furious, and his son had no choice but to sell popcorn!

Xiao Tong took the opportunity to glance back, Xiao Zhen and Lin Fang had disappeared.

When she turned her head, she found three acquaintances walking towards her, Mr. Liang, Liang Feifei, and Li Yu, with two guards beside them.

Since Mr. Liang helped her find out about Bai Shu's backer, Xiao Tong had a better impression of him and greeted him in the main.

After Liang Feifei returned the gift to Xiao Tong, her eyes were attracted by the golden popcorn in the pot, and she walked forward smelling the fragrance.

"what is this?"

Xiao Zi smiled brightly, and said, "Miss, do you want to buy a piece of popcorn? Hua Mulan's audience only needs [-] Wen!"

Liang Feifei excitedly said: "I just came to watch "Mulan" tonight. Give me a few."

Xiao Zi responded generously, scooped a handful for Liang Feifei, and within three seconds after putting it in her mouth, Liang Feifei began to moan and chirp, calling it delicious.

"I want it too, I want it too, quickly bring me a bag!"

Xiao Zi scooped up a bag for Liang Feifei, and Liang Feifei immediately let Li Yu and his cousin eat it. Li Yu glanced at a pile of golden and yellow unknown objects in the pot. Yes, she is a lady from the official family, so she must always pay attention to her status, and not be contaminated by the hobbies of Ichii Xiaomin.

When Liang Feifei brought the popcorn to her, she showed a disgusted look and said, "I won't eat anything that's only twenty yuan!"

In an instant, everyone's smiles froze.

The popcorn in Liang Feifei's mouth suddenly became stale.

Xiao Tong spat lightly, this Miss Xiangguo is really annoying every time I see her!

"Mr. Liang, is it delicious?" Seeing Mr. Liang eating with relish, Xiao Tong asked with a smile.

"Well... delicious!" Mr. Liang said hurriedly.

Xiao Tong immediately stuffed a bag full into Mr. Liang's arms, "We are all acquaintances, I'll give you two bags for twenty coins!"

Li Yu saw that his companions each had a bag of popcorn, but he didn't have one. He felt a little lonely suddenly, and his face turned into a bitter gourd, which was very bitter.

Suddenly, a bag of popcorn was handed to him, and when he looked up, Xiao Tong was looking at her tenderly, and said softly, "Try it."

Li Yu obediently grabbed a few of them and put them in his mouth. They were fragrant and sweet, really delicious!

"Do you want to buy it?" Xiao Tong asked again, his bright eyes were full of sincerity.

She nodded, humming shyly.

"Twelve taels to sell you!"

Since she, Miss Xiangguo, doesn't eat twenty taels, it's not easy, just sell her ten taels!

The author has something to say: Haha, the sky-high price of popcorn was discovered, and this "brother-in-law" got into a fight with his sister-in-law.

The next chapter, "Mulan", begins.

Note: The traditional characters in that paragraph are "Mulan audiences purchase tickets, and a bag only costs [-] Wen."

There will be no update tomorrow, Sunday, everyone, go to bed early.
