Chapter 134 Flood washed away the Dragon King Temple
Shen Shihui could no longer enter his yard, but now that his identity was clear, she felt relieved that Aunt Zhao should be fine. As for the reason, she immediately sent someone out to inquire.
The ropes on Zhao Qiqi's body were untied, and he straightened his clothes, smiling: "I wonder if my nephew has invited your grandfather to come over since he is getting engaged today?"
She guessed that there shouldn't be any. If there was, Zhao's father and mother would come to inform her. And now she said this to show that she was indeed Zhao Licheng's sister, and his aunt.
He Lianjun's eyes flickered with disdain in them. He knew that the Zhao family was poor but he didn't expect that they were really so shabby. His father was really something.
"It's really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other anymore. Let's just let today's matter go. It's just the younger generation respecting the elders."
It means that he forgave her and the matter was over.
"Oh, really? The whip belonged to your servant, and he was the one who swung it. The horse belongs to the He family. I wonder if there is anything I should ask you to forgive me for?"
Zhao Qiqi was still angry. This boy dared to do this. It was obvious that the He family was indulgent and didn't even care about other people's lives. If it was her who was trampled by the horse, the He family would definitely suppress the matter with a wave of their hands.
He Lianjun was stunned. He didn't have time to understand the reason. It was impossible for the servant to push the blame onto himself. What he said to He Lianjun must be for his own good.
He frowned and said to the boy, "Tell me clearly what's going on."
The servant was already sweating profusely, with a look of panic on his face. He had never imagined that such an ordinary and even shabby-looking woman was actually the aunt of his young master.
He naturally knew that this matter was caused by himself. If it was an ordinary person, he could easily fool her and he was not afraid at all. But this person turned out to be the young master's aunt. Even if they had no connection, they were still related by blood. No matter what, she was definitely much more important than a servant like him.
"Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me. I was just worried about your big event, so I was a little anxious. I don't know how I ended up whipping someone else. I didn't mean to do that."
He knelt down and kowtowed several times. The young master has always been absurd and unrestrained in his behavior, but as long as you act pitiful, there will generally not be any major punishment.
He Lianjun had him taken away and locked up in the woodshed. "Today is my engagement day, so I shouldn't be punished. I'll deal with him tomorrow, which will be considered as an apology to my aunt. Since my aunt is here, why don't you go to the front hall and have a drink? Dad will definitely be very happy."
His father wanted to invite the Zhao family, but his mother disagreed, and the two had a fight. Now that someone from the Zhao family has come, his father will stop causing trouble.
"Your mother didn't invite us. I guess she didn't want us to come. But you are my nephew. Although I don't know the date of your wedding, I should give you some gifts."
Zhao Qiqi took out a hundred coins from his body. The sound of copper coins rang out with Zhao Qiqi's movements. He Lianjun was a little surprised.
Normally he rewards his servants with small change and rarely uses copper coins... My aunt seems to be very poor. No wonder my mother always says that my father's relatives are poor and she doesn't want to have any contact with them.
"No need to drink, I'm leaving."
He Lianjun quickly asked someone to prepare some gifts and sent them to Gu Yansui: "It's not easy for Aunt to come here, and I am sorry for being rude today. Take these back to Aunt."
He didn't know much about Zhao Qiqi's family situation, but he vaguely remembered that she had given birth to many children and her husband died, so her life must have been difficult.
The old woman in front of He Lianjun couldn't help but roll her eyes. It turned out that this commotion was just a way to extort money. The Zhao family was really a bunch of bastards.
"Wait, why are you here?"
Zhao Licheng couldn't help but feel his temples throbbing as he looked at everything in front of him. It was obvious that he had misunderstood.
"Lian Jun, everyone in the front yard is waiting for you to toast, go quickly." Zhao Licheng spoke and patted his shoulder.
Seeing that the people had left, his expression turned extremely ugly. He took the things in his hands and said, "You can go down too."
The old woman was somewhat reluctant. She was He Honglian's person and she listened to Zhao Licheng just to give him face. In fact, Zhao Licheng had no power in the He family at all.
She wanted to stay and monitor Zhao Licheng, fearing that he had given something extra to the woman, so she left no matter how slowly she walked.
"What do you want to do here?"
His voice was very low, but it couldn't hide the anger in it.
"Brother, what do you think I am doing here?"
Zhao Licheng chuckled, "You just want to come here to beg for something, don't you? Taking advantage of today's happy event, it's hard for others to refuse you, that's what you're thinking. You're also my sister, Zhao Licheng, how can you be so short-sighted? Forget it, you've already lost face, take these things you begged and get out, don't let me see you in the He family anymore."
"If you really judge others by how you are, then my eldest brother should just change his last name to He. For some illusory interests, his parents have disowned him. I'm afraid they don't even know that their only grandson has arranged a marriage."
"I really don't want these things. Yan Sui, give me a few copper coins. It's not easy for your uncle to live in the He family by relying on other people's tips."
Gu Yansui quickly took out some copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Licheng.
His face looked extremely ugly, and others would only talk about him secretly behind his back, but his own sister actually exposed his shortcomings like this.
Do you still have him as your brother in your eyes?
"You are just angry because you saw me coming and didn't take advantage of the He family."
Zhao Licheng was furious, and Zhao Qiqi didn't want to get involved, so she took her son out through the back door the way she came in.
Zhao Licheng was left alone at the back and took a deep breath, looking very angry.
When they returned to the pharmacy, fortunately the carriage was still there and the owner was watching it for them. After expressing his gratitude, Zhao Qiqi returned to Gujia Village.
The scented soap sent to Xunhuafang does not need to be packaged. It is directly wrapped in oil paper like unscented soap. This can reduce costs.
The scented soaps that are to be sold on the retail market are to be sold as high-end products, and as originally envisioned, they are packaged in wooden boxes with embroidered patterns on them.
The embroidery has been made since the production of scent-free soap. The stock is sufficient, and the wooden boxes are also made quickly. A few days ago, Zhao Qiqi asked Gu Yantang to take more people to the mountains to cut wood, and they are also working hard on the work.
"Aunt Zhao, I led people to work day and night on this workshop, and it is now completed."
Boss Yan came over with a dusty face. He was much darker than when he first started. He had handed over the shop in the town to his wife and had been working on the house these days.
Zhao Qiqi thought that he would leave after working for a few more days, but he didn't expect him to stick with it for so long. It seems that Boss Yan not only loves money but also loves this business.
"Yan Yan, take Boss Yan to settle the accounts and settle all the money."
"Second brother and sister-in-law, bring some water and food out from the inner room. Everyone has worked hard."
Although the weather is getting colder, it still takes a lot of effort to do these hard labors and you will sweat a lot.
Drinking a few glasses of cold water at this time will make you feel refreshed, as if all the fatigue of the day has been dispelled.
The workers belonged to Boss Yan, so Gu Yanyan calculated the cost of materials and wages, and did not put the two cents together, to make it easier for Boss Yan to pay them.
Boss Yan took the money excitedly, this was the money he earned from working for more than a month. He was a genius to earn two cents per person.
