Chapter 87: Cheating
"Hmph, if you ask me, Dai Yufen is not a human being. Everything she does is disgusting."
Liao Fangyi curled her lips, drank the remaining half cup of watermelon juice, and handed the empty cup to Si Cao. She said without warning, "Give me another cup. I like to drink it iced like this best." Something cool.”
She came here just to drink Liangzhen watermelon juice?
Xia Zihan's mouth twitched.
Liao Fangyi drank three glasses of iced watermelon juice in a row, then stood up, said goodbye reluctantly, and left Chu House.
Nuanyu said worriedly, "County Lord, will you be recognized when you go to Yusha Pavilion?"
The small owner of Yusha Pavilion and Cuiyu Xuan is Xia Zihan. Except for Nuanyu's personal maids, three people from the Qi family, and Master Lin, no one else knows about it.
Even Zeng didn't know.
Zeng only knew that Xia Zihan sent Nuan Xiang and the Qi sisters to do business and open a store, but Zeng never asked about the business.
In Zeng's mind, the shop opened by a few little girls was nothing more than a small shop, playing around and earning some pocket money to buy candied haws with pearl flowers.
The Chu family has a lot of property, and one month's income is enough to support the Chu family's daily expenses. Sometimes there is still some surplus. Therefore, the Zeng family has no shortage of money, so they have never thought about making money. Xia Zi She didn't ask Han about opening a shop in detail. She only asked Xia Zihan if he had enough money to open a shop. If not, he could take it from her.
In her heart, although Xia Zihan was young, it would have been better if she had become governor earlier. She knew how to make a living and how to make money. After she got married to Song Huai, she would not just be an honorable young lady who could not make ends meet.
With money on hand, I can straighten my back in front of my husband.
Therefore, Zeng was optimistic about Xia Zihan's opening of a store. Even if he lost money to Xia Zihan, it would be fine.
She couldn't afford to lose more than ten thousand taels of silver.
Besides, if she fails, she will know where to get up next time.
...After sending Liao Fangyi away, Xia Zihan finally finalized some details of the event, then sent someone to Cuiyu Pavilion to call for Nuan Xiang and give her instructions one by one.
After hearing her plan, Nuanxiang's mouth twitched, and her face was full of dark lines, "County Master, are you sure you are not cheating other people's money?"
"Nonsense, I'm not going to rip off their money. Why would I put all the effort into organizing this event?" Xia Zihan rolled his eyes.
She never does anything thankless.
"It's not like I'm just sitting around with nothing to do. I eat and drink until I'm full, and I really make myself suffer a huge loss to satisfy other people's desires."
"You know, those who consider themselves noble ladies are never short of money and never afraid of spending it."
"I got it, I'm going to find someone right now." Nuan Xiang couldn't argue with her, so she resigned from the house and went to implement Xia Zihan's plan.
In the evening, Xia Zihan went to have dinner with Zeng as usual.
After dinner, Xia Zihan hurriedly went back to read the last two account books, but was stopped by Mrs. Zeng, "Don't leave in a hurry. Grandma still has something to tell you."
Zeng extended his hand.
Xia Zihan walked over obediently, supported her to the side hall, and sat down on the Taishi chair.
The little maid brought an embroidery pier and placed it next to the chair. Xia Zihan sat down on the embroidery pier, picked up the wooden hammer on the small table, and gently hammered Zeng's legs.
The maids came forward to make tea, served refreshments, and then quietly stepped aside.
