Chapter 60

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Dou Lianyi said to the servants calmly: "It's too late today, you can come back tomorrow to do it."

"Yes, young lady."

After all the servants in the backyard retreated, Dou Lianyi motioned to Bai Zhi to bring Xiao Liuzi over.

After the two of them listened to Xiao Liuzi's words, Dou Lianyi didn't speak, but Bai Zhi was so shocked that she said repeatedly: "Second Miss and Li Ke? This is impossible, Second Miss' eyes are higher than her head, how can she see someone like him?" Servant!"

"Not necessarily."

After the surprise when she heard the news faded away, Dou Lianyi slowly tasted something. She raised her hand and unconsciously pinched the pink hibiscus flower in front of her. She didn't speak softly until the flower juice came out: "I remember that the guy named Li Ke looked pretty good, but his eyebrows always had a bit of evil in them, and he didn't look like a serious person."

"When it comes to appearance, I think he is not as handsome as Mr. Qin." Because Li Ke took the young lady away forcefully before, Bai Zhi still hates him. She flattened her mouth and murmured in a low voice: "My servant, until now Everyone remembers his face as if he was a villain."

Mr. Qin?
Dou Lianyi was stunned for a moment, and Qin Mu's face could not help but appear in his mind.

I don't know why, but the base of my ears feels slightly hot.

She shook her head and said sternly to Xiao Liuzi: "Pay more attention to Li Ke on weekdays. It would be better if we could find out whether he has relatives in his hometown and whether he is married."

Xiao Liuzi quickly agreed without saying a word: "Don't worry, young lady, as soon as there is any news, I will come and tell you immediately."

"Also," Dou Lianyi let go of the hibiscus branch in her hand. After a pause, she asked with a somewhat complicated look: "I remember that Fen'er became the second lady's personal maid recently, right? She talks to you in private. How is the relationship?"

"Others don't dare to speak big words, but there are really not many people in the house who have a close relationship with me." Xiao Liuzi rubbed the back of his head and smiled, and responded slyly: "Young Madam wants me to follow you. Sister Fen'er, can we have a good relationship?"

"Humph."

Dou Lianyi did not comment, but raised the corner of her mouth, raised her hand and tapped Xiao Liuzi on the head, and then changed the subject: "I heard Yuzhu said that you haven't eaten yet, so just eat something here before going back to work. "

After saying that, Dou Lianyi turned around and returned to the house.

Xiao Liuzi was left behind and responded happily: "Thank you, young lady!"

It's the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, and Mrs. Lu wants to hold a family banquet in the Juyuan.

I don’t know if it was because Mrs. Lu’s birthday party last time made the Lu family a laughing stock outside. Anyway, this time everyone in the county prince’s palace was making great efforts to hold a grand party to save face.

Even Lu Shangxuan didn't care about the money spent, but when he occasionally saw Dou Lianyi in the house, he always seemed hesitant to speak.

But Dou Lianyi just pretended not to see it. As soon as she mentioned that the house's expenses were becoming increasingly tight, she would call the accountant to settle the accounts with Lu Shangxuan one by one.

As for her own dowry, she will not take out even half of it.

Dou Lianyi also said plausibly: "I paid for most of the hundreds of taels of silver that I paid to Boss Qin earlier. If you don't believe me, husband, I remember clearly the black and white words on the account book, and the dowry in my warehouse is not It's inexhaustible, please husband, don't make things difficult for others!" Lu Shangxuan looked at the stack of account books on the table with a headache, and the dense numbers in them made him really not want to open them anymore.

He was originally a military attache, and Lian Niang had always been in charge of the whole house. In the past, when he was short of silver, Lian Niang would take the initiative to give it to him without even asking. How could he ever say such words that would make him unable to step down?

After several times like this, Lu Shangxuan felt that he had lost all face. No matter how much Madam Lu urged, he was unwilling to mention the dowry to Dou Lianyi again.

So when Lu Lianzhi mentioned that she discovered that several of Dou Lianyi's shops were cooperating with Boss Qin, Lu Shangxuan waved his hands unirrigatedly and replied angrily: "Why do you always hold on to them? As long as there is money coming into the account, it’s fine, otherwise if you only rely on my monthly salary every month, everyone in the house will drink the northwest wind, right?”

As for whether there is really an affair between them, Lu Shangxuan doesn't particularly care now.

Since he was able to be cruel enough to arrange for Lian Niang to have sex with other men on their wedding day, now he can naturally put up with it for the sake of money.

The Double Ninth Festival family banquet was being prepared in full swing here, and Dou Lianyi, taking advantage of the fact that he was doing big business in the past few days, left all the arrangements for the family banquet to the butler.

As for the means by which Lu Lianzhi obtained this right from Mrs. Lu, Dou Lianyi didn't care at all.

Because there are more important things for her to worry about right now.

The Lotus Building is located two streets away from the Prince's Mansion. Although it is not in a bustling market, the chefs inside come from all over the world and have superb cooking skills, so it attracts a lot of gourmet diners every day.

The rooms on the third floor were used by the shopkeeper to entertain dignitaries from all over the place. However, Dou Lianyi later spent a sum of money to book the largest room among them, specifically for spending time with her subordinates. The shopkeepers of a shop discuss business.

At this time, several shopkeepers were sitting below Dou Lianyi, and they were all raising objections to her purchase plan.

"Master, why do you want to buy a large amount of grain at this time? It is the autumn harvest season now, and there are so many crops outside. Even if the purchase price is lower than before, it is useless to store so much in the warehouse. "

"Yes, boss, it's unrealistic if you think of hoarding it and waiting for the winter grain to sell at a high price. This year is a bumper harvest year, and every household's granary is full, so there is no need to worry about winter."

"My boss's move is really inappropriate. I ask my boss to think again."

Dou Lianyi looked calm and patiently waited until the three shopkeepers had finished speaking, then turned her head and glanced at Qin Mu, who had been silent.

"What does Boss Qin think?"

"I'm more curious about why Miss Dou has this plan," Qin Mu smiled, his eyes fell on Dou Lianyi's face, and said softly: "As far as I know, Miss Dou is not someone who would do such strange things for no reason. .”

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi frowned almost invisible.

How could she possibly tell the other party that it was because she had the memory of her previous life and knew that within three days after the Double Ninth Festival, news would come from the northwest that the war was intensifying and there was a shortage of food and grass.

Not only that, because of the heavy rains in the past few days, the Nanyun Aqueduct has loosened the soil upstream, and too much debris has blocked the aqueduct.
