The princes and nobles' leisure time and elegance were not affected by the heavy rain for several days. The blind boxes were still fermenting. In addition, Li Shishi composed music and sang the top cards of various brothels. There were many rich customers who really wanted to get a set of them under their reputation. The last flower-tailed hairpin has been priced at a high price of 800 taels. There are also many naughty young men like Yuchi, who have to open them based on their ability.

When I woke up, I found several thousand taels of silver. I finally found the feeling I used to go out every morning to arrange the two new shops I had placed under. If it was sunny in the afternoon, I would call my younger brother to give me some advice. If it rained, I would accompany a few maids to play mahjong.

After a few days, Yu Tang had become a rich woman. She sat at the gate of the Hou Mansion every day and looked at her. As soon as he came back, he hurriedly ran over and pulled her sleeves into the pavilion, saying, "Young master, it's okay later. I'll play mahjong with you. I've already burned a jar of water..."

Judging from this, he regarded his son as a fat sheep.

The girl Luzhu still had a honest deal, but recently she heard about the reputation of a hairpin and wanted a piece of it. He Yutang borrowed five taels of silver and waited for the Baibaozhai car to pass by at the door.

After seeing this, he naturally gave one.

As the saying goes, "I will not receive any reward without merit, but Luzhu is so scared that she doesn't know where she has taken off all night.

Han'er, who was busy in charge of Diankui Si alone, was busy watching the young master's discussions with others. He got up before dawn and went to work. After returning, he had to teach two little maids a lesson: "You two are getting more and more lawless, what should you do if you make your young master get sick?" It seems that he also heard about the young master's face turned purple when he was angry with Yutang.

Yu Tang felt particularly aggrieved about this and muttered in a low voice: "Young Master won't be angry. I'm so happy to see you lose money..." Then Han'er lifted her up and lowered her waist and stretched her legs for three consecutive times. She couldn't stand steadily. At night, she ran to the young master's house to listen to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Hua naturally did not interfere with this. It was quite satisfying to see Han'er dealing with Yutang to be honest. There must be someone at home who is a singer.

The Marquis' Mansion is still being renovated and cleaned up, and it is so messy that it is impossible to clean. He has been in the yard and his subordinates these days for recovery training, and occasionally goes out to see the situation of the shop.

The signboard of the "Shibaotang" has been hung up and is covered with red cloth to open on a date. The two new shops he bought will take some time to train employees. Of course, these things are now left to Liu Laosi.

As noon approached, the heavy rain for days finally stopped.

Cao Hua disguised himself as he came to Yanglou Street and saw a woman in a cloth skirt smiling at a steaming toast stall.

After two days of cultivation, Su Xiangning improved a lot, but she was born with timidity and was afraid of living alone, so she called Shen Yu to her own courtyard to accompany her. She still slept at 3 o'clock every day. When the weather was good, she opened the tofu stall. At noon, she closed the stall and went to the shop to learn how to be a shopkeeper. This made Miss Shen, who slept until the day was three o'clock every day, tormented to death.

At this time, Miss Shen was erect and her eyes were squeezing her waist, and shouting from the side: "Son surname, you are not afraid of being overwhelmed by three bowls of tofu... Xiao Wang, why are you eating so slowly? Take out the money quickly, and there are still people waiting behind you..." She said a few words and yawned and rubbed her eyes.

They were all shopkeepers around them. They had already known Miss Shen's temper and personality, but no one was angry. They just responded with a smile, which made Su Xiangning quite embarrassed. While teaching Miss Shen a lesson, they apologized to the customers.

He watched it for a while, but he didn't go to join in the fun. The main reason was that Chen Yu would definitely give up the opportunity to help him. After finally letting Miss Shen experience life, he naturally couldn't disappoint people.

When he came to the studio behind the shop, he began to polish the customized hairpins of customers.

The Queen Mother competed with Minglou on her birthday, and the reputation of the shop had already been copied. There were many rich customers who came to customize them. The little prince Zhao Kai was one of them. Li Shishi also paid a thousand taels of silver to customize a bracelet. This was considered a flower sedan chair and people supported each other, and there was no other meaning.

As soon as I picked up the tool and started to work, the gate of the courtyard was knocked.

"Cao...Su Shi, are you there?"

When I opened the back door, I saw Chen Jingliu standing at the door.

As the saying goes, a girl is to please herself. Miss Chen dressed up one of her rare times, rubbed rouge and dough, and tied up a very ladylike bun.

Perhaps it was shy that Chen Jingliu pinched the corner of her skirt and wanted to lower her head, but she tried hard to stand calmly, so her expression seemed a little strange.

Cao Hua frowned slightly and looked disgusted: "Jingliu, why are you dressing like this?"

"ah?.."

Chen Jingliu suddenly panicked. She used to rarely dress up, but today she learned from the women in the alley. She thought she was self-defeating. Her face turned red, and then she was embarrassed and raised her hand to wipe away the mess on her face.

"I almost didn't recognize it so beautiful."

Cao Hua raised his hand and pinched her face.

"you..."

Chen Jingliu knew that she was teased and was angry and angry. She ignored this man. When she entered the back door, she still angrily bumped the man's shoulder. However, the word "hate" was too numb and she didn't say it out.

After closing the back door, the shop had many customers, so they went up to the second floor.

After the opening, the second floor was converted into a bedroom. Usually, the guy and the shopkeeper were watching the night and some goods were stored here, which was quite crowded.

A woman who is in love with the first time can't help but be shy and panic no matter how well she is, Chen Jingliu stood in the house and looked around, and knew what to say.

"Just start right away."

Cao Hua smiled, sat down on the chair with a big golden knife, patted his thigh, and prepared to get to the point.

Chen Jingliu was puzzled and was about to ask "What to start?" when he was pulled in front of the man and sat down. He was still sitting on Cao Zhe's thigh, and his waist was also wrapped around him.

The soft jade is in my arms, and the faint fragrance is swaying, so I will inevitably have some reactions.

Chen Jingliu was a little confused, and her face turned red after feeling something. "Ah!" she said, and hurriedly stood up.

Perhaps he felt angry, and spat softly: "Color, I...I'm not that kind of woman... I have something to do with you..."

"oh?"

Cao Hua was quite disappointed and could only pretend that nothing had happened. He gently shook the folding fan and said, "Miss Chen, if you need Cao's help, just speak up. With our relationship, everything is easy to say."

"Who has something to do with you, I...I'm not voluntarily."

Chen Jingliu was unable to argue and sat down on the chair next to her: "It has been raining heavily recently. Many refugees came outside the city, and the government also distributed porridge, but there were too many monks and too few porridge to eat. I saw that several chambers of commerce in the city were also organizing the construction of sheds to serve porridge..."

"You want me to give me some porridge too? No problem."

"no."

Chen Jingliu hesitated for a little while and shook her head gently: "The refugees outside the city have lost their fields and houses, and can temporarily eat enough to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. When the water recedes, most of them still have nowhere to go."

"You wouldn't want me to build a house for them all, do you?"

Chen Jingliu blinked and nodded slightly: "Young master is really smart. Those refugees are really pitiful. Most of them are harmed by corrupt officials and are homeless. Moreover, ordinary people don't spend much money. Ten taels of silver will be enough for several years..."

A dou of rice in Tokyo costs three cents of silver, and ten taels of silver can buy about 600 kilograms of rice. It can indeed last several years for frugality.

As the saying goes, "If you are poor, you will be able to be good for yourself; if you are successful, you will be able to be good for the world."

Chen Jingliu received such education since childhood, and seeing refugees naturally wanted to do their best.

However, Cao Hua is a businessman, not a scholar. He frowned and looked at the woman in front of him: "Miss Chen, talking about money is hurting feelings, and my money is not blown by the strong wind."

This is even more sad.

Chen Jingliu's face changed slightly. He looked at him silent for a long time, but continued, "You have earned so much money and should have been used by the people for the people... You have planned to open a shop, but the refugees outside the city are almost starving to death. No matter how much planning is, it is nothing more than saving the country and helping the people. When the officials force the people to rebel, what's the use of planning...I...I just want to make you a better reputation..."

Cao Hua is a remote person: "Even if I send money, I can't use my own name. Kyoto Tai Sui gives money, do you think someone dares to accept it? Donate in the name of others, what am I going to do?"

Chen Jingliu was angry when she heard this. It seemed natural for officials to take the people as their responsibility, at least her father Chen Qingqiu was like this. Now that she met Cao Hua, she naturally hoped that Cao Hua would be like this.

"You have always been unfamiliar with fame, wealth, and sex. I have only told you this. After you have seen the refugees outside, you will know. If you really don't want to give alms, I'll say I haven't said it."

After saying that, I got up and wanted to leave, but I was really disappointed when I looked.

"etc."

As soon as I took a few steps, a sound came from behind.

Turning back, Cao Hua got up and opened the cabinet to take out a wooden box from it, which contained silver notes, and the official notes of a thousand taels were almost filled with the wooden box.

Chen Jingliu walked back silently and stretched out her hand: "I will come to you if the court doesn't care about the business of the country, thank you."

His tone has obviously softened several levels, and it is rare to have a bit of coquettishness.

But when he looked up, he saw Cao Hua only took out three silver notes from the box, and his eyes became a little dim.

But having is better than not, three thousand taels are enough to settle dozens of families.

As Chen Jingliu thought about this, he felt a sank on his hand and the wooden box was placed directly in his hand.

"I have saved up such a small amount of property for half a year, and I don't have a penny more. The Marquis' family has no surplus grain. My Marquis's only an honorary title and no salary."

Chen Jingliu was stunned for a long time and held the wooden box. This was the first time she held so much money in her hand.

After reacting, he felt a little nervous: "So many, are you giving them all?"

Cao Hua raised his eyebrows: "If you think it's too much, then give it to me."

As he said that, he wanted to reach out to get it. Chen Jingliu immediately took a few steps back, holding the box and looking alert, fearing that she would be stolen.

Cao Hua smiled and sat down on the chair again: "If you are engaged in charity and seek fame, just act as an investment. I will send someone to Princess Yong'an later, and I will say that it was donated by Wanbaolou. Are you satisfied?"

"I...I'm satisfied..."

Chen Jingliu bit her lower lip lightly, glanced at her grateful look, and wanted to go downstairs to find Liu Laosi to arrange the donation.

As soon as he turned around, a sound came from behind: "Wait!"

She hugged the wooden box tightly and looked back, for fear that Cao would regret it if he would go back on his word.

Cao Hua patted his thighs and smiled and said, "Sixty thousand taels of silver, I came here and took it away. I felt depressed. Miss Chen, what do you think you should do?"

What else can I do? Compensate.

Chen Jingliu's face was stiff, and she felt that the wooden box in her arms was a little heavy.

She hesitated for a long time, but she still held the wooden box tightly on Cao Zhe's legs. Her body was tight and her face turned purple: "You... don't go too far... I'll just let you hit me a few times..."

Cao Hua sat on the chair with a big golden knife, and his folding fan was shaking and blowing, making his beard tilted up, without any intention of taking action: "I always work hard and get scolded, it's not fair, you can do it yourself this time."

Miss Chen was stunned. She was already conservative and didn't know how much courage she had to sit down. She looked reluctant when she heard this:

"How can you do this? I...I am my daughter's house...why would you dance for you..."

"No, I just like you who are unhappy and have no choice but to do anything to me."

Cao Hua hooked his fingers against the woman's black hair, and his smile was fun.

Chen Jingliu couldn't tell the pain when he was short of his hands. He held the wooden box but didn't want to let go. He hesitated for a long time and he twisted his face over.

Cao Hua leaned his head away and raised his eyebrows: "The expression is too stiff and he is not sincere."

"you..."
