After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 6 Too Soft

Xiao Fengxian opened his eyes, his pupils were dark and bloodshot.

He had just fallen asleep for less than an hour!
Wei Zi was stunned: "Second brother, why are you sleeping on the floor instead of using the good bamboo couch? There is no bedding on the floor, how cold it is!"

Xiao Fengxian's voice was hoarse: "You don't care about me."

Over the years, the Xiao family ignored him, and he woke up naturally until noon every day. Today, he was woken up by Wei Zi, and he was suddenly full of displeasure.

"As the saying goes, 'A year's plan lies in spring, and a day's plan lies in the morning'," Wei Zi opened the flower window for him, and the soft spring sun immediately shone in, and the green garden outside the window was as green as washing, "Second brother, how many days will you I'm going to see Shen Shilang, so I have to cheer up and read a few more books. I wrote a few words last night, can you read them for me?"

The sun was dazzling, Xiao Fengxian was forced to sit up, and took the words she handed.

After reading them one by one, he raised his eyes to Wei Zi.

The little widow knelt down opposite him, holding her skirt with her fingers, her peach blossom eyes wide open, her milky chestnut pupils full of anticipation, her plump cheeks revealed a natural blush like the juice of peony flowers, she looked soft and lovely. The appearance of bullying.

He paused and said, "It's too soft."

Wei Zi was stunned: "What?"

"The pen is too soft."

Xiao Fengxian returned the big characters to her, and unnaturally tilted her head and looked away, "Seeing the characters is like a human being, sister-in-law's heart is too soft."

Holding the handwriting in his hands, Wei Zi pondered for a moment, compared it with Xiao Fengxian's handwriting for a moment, and said clearly: "I'm just trying to imitate your strokes, but the writing is limp and has no strength at all."

Xiao Fengxian propped her cheeks.

Although his widowed sister-in-law has not read many books, she is quite savvy.

Wei Zi got advice, put away those big characters: "Can I ask my second brother one more question?"

"Sister-in-law, please speak."

"How can I earn 100 taels of silver?"

"What does sister-in-law want 100 taels of silver for?"

Wei Zi secretly thought, 100 taels of silver is neither too much nor too little, and it is enough for her to pay for the capital in the future.

She didn't want to tell Xiao Fengxian her secret, so she half-truthfully said: "I've always been dependent on others, and my heart is always not at ease. If I have 100 taels by my side, I can feel much more at ease."

Xiao Fengxian sneered.

100 taels can be at ease?

He went out to drink flower wine once, but it was not enough to entertain people casually.

He took out a purse from the box and threw it in front of Wei Zi: "Here."

The purse was heavy, Wei Zi opened it, and there was 100 taels of silver in it!

She was stunned: "Where did you get the money?"

Xiao Fengxian said casually, "The water transportation, ships, and gambling houses in Lingzhou are all mine."

"Bragging." Wei Zi didn't believe it, and returned the purse to him, "It must have been saved by you all these years of frugality, I don't want it. Second brother, I want to make money by myself, so I can feel at ease."

Xiao Fengxian felt that the little widow was really stupid.

Let him take this shortcut, but want to make money by himself, what is it if he is not stupid?
He thought for a while, and said: "If you want to earn 100 taels, you can do it by starting a small business. I see that a new kind of tofu is popular in Lingzhou City. It is soaked in green alum and then marinated in brine. After marinating , Pour the tea oil into the pot and burn it red, fry the tofu until it is browned, and then sprinkle with chili oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil. It is spicy and salty, and it is very popular. No one in Shanyin County sells this kind of tofu. Sister-in-law If you are the first to sell, you will naturally make money."

Sell ​​tofu?
Wei Zi pondered.

Although it sounds unreliable, she believed in Xiao Fengxian's ability to make money.

She shyly said, "Then...then can you lend me some capital?"

Xiao Fengxian was amazed: "Sister-in-law has neither the idea of ​​making money nor the capital, so she talked with me for a long time, so it turns out that it is for empty hands and white wolves?"

Wei Zi coughed lightly in embarrassment, and grabbed the hem of her skirt to hide her embarrassment.

Xiao Fengxian flexed her fingers, tapped on the case table, and suddenly said: "If I help my sister-in-law, what benefits can my sister-in-law do me?"

Wei Zi looked at his cuff.

The cuffs were frayed and hairy, and the black robe he was wearing was very old.

She smiled and said, "My needlework is pretty good. I'll make a new dress for my second brother, okay? When I went to Yunshen Temple to meet Shen Shilang on Ching Ming Festival, my second brother just happened to be able to wear it, so it's not a mistake." decent."

Xiao Fengxian originally only wanted her to make fish for him to eat.

Hearing that there are new clothes to wear, he couldn't help but smile: "Deal."

"By the way," Wei Zilin suddenly looked back when he was leaving the house, "I wear chains on my feet, and I can't get out of the house. When the tofu is ready, I have to ask my second brother to sell it for me."

Xiao Fengxian: "..."

Tell him to sell tofu?
What grade is he, going to sell tofu?
How shameless is he to show it to acquaintances?
So the idea of ​​making money was his idea, the capital was borrowed from him, and he had to come forward to sell the goods in the end, so what did she do? !

Wei Zi has already run away.

Xiao Fengxian refused to sell tofu, so he simply bought a shop and bought two maids to sell it for Wei Zi.

The ingredients and so on were secretly purchased early in the house and sent to the kitchen.

After such a toss, the cost he took in was more than 100 taels.

Wei Zi put on a small apron, and started to make tofu according to the method Xiao Fengxian said.

By the time the marinade came out, it was already evening.

Wei Zi picked up the tofu from the brine, and the white and tender tofu turned black, emitting a strange smell.

Wei Zi was so smoked that he covered his nose, threw pieces of black tofu into the frying pan far away from the stove, and couldn't help muttering: "It smells so bad, can this thing really be eaten?"

She was having a blast, and Xiao Dujuan happened to come back from school.

"Wei Zi! Wei Zi! You bitch, get out!"

She whimpered and went straight to the kitchen.

Chen Ruixiang probably listened to Wei Zi's instigation, and today deliberately joined other sisters to trip her up, causing her to be beaten by the master, and her right hand is still red and swollen!
It's all Wei Zi's fault!
"Wei Zi, you bitch—"

As soon as Xiao Dujuan stepped into the kitchen, he smelled the stench, and hurriedly covered his nose and retreated, cursing loudly in disgust: "Wei Zi, what a decent and elegant family we are, you make such a smell, you blow shit up ?!"

Wei Zi felt offended by her tofu.

She took off her little apron and went out: "What do you want from me?"

Xiao Dujuan was furious: "Let me ask you, what did you say to Chen Ruixiang yesterday? Did you speak ill of me behind my back?!"

"No—"

Before Wei Zi finished speaking, Xiao Dujuan picked up the ladle, scooped up a ladle of cold water from the water tank under the corridor, and poured it on her face unceremoniously.

Wei Zi was frightened, subconsciously took half a step back.

"Bitch!" Xiao Dujuan gritted his teeth, "Who else could it be if it wasn't you?! You grew up eating my rice all these years, you don't know how to be grateful to Dade, and dare to fight against this elegant and serious lady like me! Let me tell you, It is for the sake of my brother that I let you continue to stay at my house, otherwise, you would have been driven to the street to beg for food! If you dare to gossip behind your back and make trouble, what I will splash on your face is not It's water!"
