businesswoman's wife

Early the next morning, when Xu Xiuyi woke up, Su Jinyuan had already gone to Bao’an Tang. Today, Guiling ointment went on sale, and Su Jinyuan attached great importance to it. Last night, the clerk in the same shop was busy and came back very late. After returning, Xu Xiuyi was already asleep. She was willing to wake her up, so she stayed on the couch next to her clothes for the night.

Actually, for Su Jinyuan, from the initial dislike to the now moved, Xu Xiuyi is not undecided whether to live with him like a husband and wife.

But in the end, her reason overcomes her emotions. She knows that moving is not love. She can feel grateful to Su Jinyuan for stepping up to help despite her life, but it is absolutely impossible for her to fall in love with it.

Loving someone is sometimes easy, and sometimes difficult. Su Jinyuan slept on the couch yesterday, what about tonight?

After breakfast, Xu Xiuyi was entangled in this issue until the servant hurriedly came to report that it was a major event. Bao Ning Tang launched the exact same Guiling paste before Bao Ning Tang, and it also branded the emperor, more importantly. I invited the deity of the Five Kings to try it on the spot. The effect was great. Now this sweet and smooth tortoise paste was sold out as soon as it was released. Baoningtang was passive. how to deal with it.

Xu Xiuyi drank the porridge, and she felt a little uneasy yesterday, but she did not expect that An Chengshao was really so despicable.

The recipe for Guiling paste was used by her to test him that day. If she had known that the two would break up, she would not have given the house to An Chengshao.

It was only because she loved him so much at the time that she didn't believe that he would betray her no matter what, because of the deep disbelief in her heart, she dared to give him the Guiling ointment recipe with confidence and boldness.

Now that she really shot herself in the foot, she never thought that An Chengshao not only copied her patents, but also copied her ideas.

In order to test An Chengshao that day, she also specially said that she was full of praise for the Queen Mother, and she planned to use the Queen Mother as a living sign.

She invited the queen mother, and An Chengshao was even more skilled, the emperor invited, and he personally invited the fifth prince to sit in the throne.

Xu Xiuyi's eyes were tightly closed, her heart was full of anger, he finally had no scruples, and wanted to completely kill the Su family?

Seeing this, Jin Yu hurriedly came up: "Grandma, don't get angry. The uncle said that you are in good shape. This anger will hurt your body."

Yinyu was filled with righteous indignation: "Second Master is really despicable. There must be an insider among us. The secret recipe of Guiling paste was invented by Grandma, how could Second Master know."

Jin Yu said angrily to her: "Don't talk about it, I've never seen grandma so annoying."

Xu Xiuyi opened her eyes, and her eyes were clear: "Go, go to Baoning Hall."

"But grandma's body."

Jin Yu was about to speak, but Xu Xiuyi gave him a stunned look. After all, he didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly called someone to prepare the sedan chair.

The sedan chair hurried to Baoning Hall, Xu Xiuyi got off the sedan chair, there were still many people around the door of Baoning Hall, clamoring to buy turtle ointment, An Chengshao stood on the stairs above the crowd, and the two sides looked at each other, Xu Xiuyi's eyes were cold. , He was not to be outdone, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

The hatred in Xu Xiuyi's eyes gradually condensed, An Chengshao was a little stunned, Xu Xiuyi turned her head, and pretended that she had never known this person. The formula, the other four herbal teas were not given, but An Chengshao really thought that he could suppress Baoningtang in one fell swoop with the help of Guiling paste?

If he really thought so, he would be too naive.

Entering the Baoning Hall, there was a smell of tortoise ointment, which shows how busy Su Jinyuan waited last night and how much he made.

"Xiuyi, why are you here, who is quick, didn't you say you are not allowed to upload it to the government?"

Su Jinyuan scolded, but Xu Xiuyi said, "Don't blame others, these tortoise pastes probably won't be released now, I didn't expect Bao'an Tang to strike first, this kind of thing, if we do it first, we win, if we do it later, it will only provoke It's a joke, it was said that we copied them and ruined the reputation of our Baoningtang."

Su Jinyuan agreed: "Well, that's why I didn't release the Guiling paste, but I was very surprised. How could the second brother know about the recipe for the tortoise paste? There shouldn't be any ghosts among us."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, his eyes were quite cold, but everyone was as quiet as a cicada, but their eyes were firm, and no one had done anything, and everyone had a clear conscience.

Xu Xiuyi took a deep breath, the inner ghost is her, she gave everyone hope, but now it has destroyed everyone's hope, so she said: "Don't investigate, there will be no inner ghost, it is estimated that I accidentally revealed it when I entered the palace that day. The Queen Mother told the emperor that he had a good relationship with the fifth prince, and the fifth prince knew about it, and the new master of Baoningtang naturally knew about it."

She went around this big circle, just wanting to take the blame on herself, but she didn't want to get involved with An Chengshao.

Guan Dahu heard the words, and said a little more: "We only found out that Baoningtang changed hands in the morning, but third grandma, don't you think that the fifth prince has a good personal relationship with you? How could it be..."

"Banjun is like a tiger, we have already broken up, and the new master of Baoantang is his guest, he is naturally helping him, let's not talk about this, the top priority, we are controlled by others, but we must not give up on this, we still have the rest Four prescriptions, hurry up and boil the medicine, and if you don’t choose a day, it will be released today.”

Su Jinyuan said this to everyone before, but now Xu Xiuyi said the same thing, everyone came clean again, and went out to work, Xu Xiuyi was already depressed, and she was ill these days, and she felt dizzy for a while. Fortunately, Su Jinyuan came up quickly. He hugged her and said worriedly, "I have me in the store. Even if the Su family collapses, I will support you. Your pure heart makes me feel distressed. I will check the pulse."

Xu Xiuyi shook her head: "It's okay."

"I'll take a look, otherwise I won't worry."

Xu Xiuyi knew that although the ancient medical skills could see the happy pulse, it could not tell the date, so she put her hand in front of Su Jinyuan, Su Jinyuan pinched the pulse, and her face was quite distressed.

"Your pulse is unstable, and your qi and blood are weak. If you continue to toss, I'm afraid our children will not be able to hold on. Daddy has an elegant room in the south of the city. Herbs are planted all around, and the weather also supports people. You go there and rest for a few days. I asked my elder brother and elder sister-in-law to accompany you and take care of you at any time, lest those who are ignorant always bother you."

Xu Xiuyi knew that he was doing it for her own good, but she didn't dare to leave to recuperate. That's too hateful for An Cheng Shao.

"I don't want to go."

Su Jinyuan opened his mouth almost begging: "Xiuyi, give me a chance to make up for you, you are so tired, I feel a lot of pain in my heart, don't worry, one day this Baoningtang will not collapse. , this is our family business together."

When he said this, if she doesn't agree, it will show that she is doubting his ability. Take a look at the Baoantang. When An Chengshao is proud, he probably wants to see her in a state of embarrassment, that's all. After spending a few days away from the mundane world, he might be able to completely forget An Chengshao.

She nodded: "Okay."

Su Jinyuan hugged her and kissed her forehead gently. She was quite unnatural, but she didn't hide. After a long time, she couldn't fall in love with Su Jinyuan, but how could she resist the intimacy that a husband and wife should have? He could only delay as much as possible until the day Su Jinyuan lost interest in her.

*

Su Jinyuan arranged for Xu Xiuyi to set off on the same day to go to the southern suburbs of the city, the manor of the Su family. The house is surrounded by honeysuckle, fragrant and fragrant, and in the yard, there are all kinds of medicinal herbs. Xu Xiuyi has heard of this manor before. , it's the first time it really comes.

And Su Jinye is not.

This is Master Su's most precious place. In the past, only Su Jinyuan, the eldest son, could come and stay for a few days. After Master Su passed, the whole family was busy dealing with Su Jinyi, so there was no time for him to come and relax. Today, he is a blessing to Xu Xiuyi.

Xu Xiuyi was not in good health, and her face was a bit morbidly pale because it was difficult to relieve her anger.

The dumpling Xu Xiuyi would also bring it, but Su Jinyuan said that he was afraid that the dumpling would tire Xu Xiuyi, so the dumpling stayed at the mansion.

Su Jinyuan didn't like the dumplings very much, probably because the dumplings were born by the maidservant and passed on. .

Xu Xiuyi always thought that over time, Su Jinyuan would also like that cute little doll.

It's a pity that I couldn't bring the group this time. Although such a big yard is smaller than the Su family's mansion, it has less secular disputes, is quiet and elegant, and can cultivate sentiment, but the group is still small, I guess No sentimentality to speak of.

Su Li's maid Ruyi came over early to clean up the two rooms. The manor was already taken care of. Su Li was afraid that Xu Xiuyi would not be used to it, so she arranged for Mrs. Hao, who was serving Xu Xiuyi's food in Su's residence, to come along. It also made some pomp, everything was settled, and the sky was dark.

Madam Hao made six dishes and one soup. Xu Xiuyi had little appetite and couldn't eat too much, so Su Li and Su Jinyi persuaded her to eat more.

Anyway, after eating half a bowl of rice, crickets and frogs screamed happily in the suburbs, Qing girl was going to catch fireflies, Xu Xiuyi ordered people to set up three reclining chairs in the park, and went outside to enjoy the shade.

Outside the suburbs, the stars are shining, the sky is black and pure, and the stars are dazzling. The girl Qing happily fluttered the fireflies among the flowers, and the maid and the old lady followed behind and shouted for the little ancestor. The plan was good, and Xu Xiuyi was in a much better mood.

"Third brothers and sisters, it's the Qixi Festival. Look at those two stars, they say they are the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and they will meet on the Qixi Festival."

It's the end of June, and in a few days it will be the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Tanabata has gradually developed into a small festival in modern times, and it has a tendency to replace Western Valentine's Day. However, Xu Xiuyi, who was single in her last life, has never had an Eastern Valentine's Day or a Western Valentine's Day. Fortunately, this is the place. The people who are not on the Qixi Festival, otherwise I don't know who to spend with this year.

Su Jinyuan, it really is not love.

An Chengshao, that was a thing of the past.

"Xiuyi, I think you look better at night, just relax your mind, Baoningtang has Jinyuan, you have to believe in Jinyuan, he used to manage the business of Baoningtang, and Su Jinyi took advantage of it. Since Jinyuan is no longer the monkey king, since Jinyuan has known that he is no match for him, he quickly sold the Baoantang." It was Su Jinye who spoke, and it was obvious that he had some admiration for Su Jinyuan.

Su Li also said: "No, the two bosses who partnered with the second child were good friends of Jin Yuan in business before, but this time when Jin Yuan came back, he found two people in private, and they sold his face. If you don't say that you want to quit the Baoantang directly, the second child is desperate and can't make a forest, so he is smart and wise to sell the Baoantang."

Xu Xiuyi actually knew that Su Jinyuan was good at business. Although other people used to be involved in the past, the Su family master valued him very much, and let him do all kinds of business. When the wind was rising, the Su family also had business dealings with the imperial pharmacy in the palace. For such a big business, the master of the Su family also asked Su Jinyuan to do it.

Later, Su Jinyi was able to help on the counter of Baoning Hall, entirely because Su Jinyuan was in charge of too many big businesses, and those trivial small businesses couldn't take care of them, so Su Jinyi was chosen to help.

Su Jinye's monkey calling the king is quite right. After Su Jinyuan's death, the Su family master knew that it was the eldest son, Su Jinyu, who could not be helped. Cha Su Jinyi had also practiced in Baoningtang for a long time, so he began to delegate power to Su Jinyi. The real control of Baoning Hall was only a few months from Su Jinyuan's death until Xu Xiuyi took over.

He thought he was powerful and wanted to confront Baoningtang, Xu Xiuyi had 1 ways to kill him, even if An Chengshao took over now, Xu Xiuyi had never been afraid.

"Sister-in-law, I know, Jin Yuan said, let me believe him, I believe."

Su Li laughed: "The two of you were so different in the past, but now your love is sweet, and I'm jealous when you call me sister-in-law. Your elder brother is a lumpy wood, and he can't say a single word of love, so he turned back to call him Dao Jinyuan, that's fine. study."

Xu Xiuyi laughed lightly.

Su Jinye stammered: "I was born with this temperament, it's not that you don't know."

"Hehe, sister-in-law, don't embarrass big brother. You and I are like being in a cold pool. Jinyuan is a pot of boiling water. It can warm up the cold pool, but it will be unbearable for a long time. A pot of warm water, a long stream of water, will never stop for a hundred years.”

This is about love, it comes with vigour and vigour, and in the end, it may burn all over the body.

Take it slowly, and you can live forever.

Many times, Xu Xiuyi was quite envious of the love between Su Jiang's and Su Jinye. In fact, what she wanted was nothing but such love, and Su Jinyuan was obviously not the right person.

After what she said, Su Li became shy, but Su Jinye was quite proud: "You see, Xiuyi can speak."

Su Li said angrily: "If you praise you, you will fly to the sky."

When Qing girl heard this, she giggled endlessly in the flowers, obviously listening to the adults' conversation clearly: "Mother, you can grab Daddy's hand, you are so heavy, Daddy can't fly."

"Okay, you little girl, say your mother is fat, and I won't take care of you."

Su Jiang started chasing after Qing girl. Under the bright starry sky, in the garden courtyard, there were endless laughter and cheers. This night was the most comfortable night Xu Xiu recalled in a long time.

*

After staying at the Nanjiao Manor for three days, Xu Xiuyi really lingered. She watched the moon and the stars at night, laughing and playing. Embroidery, in this life, embroidered a purse is lifelike and vivid, and the downhill tiger above is like it is about to jump out of the purse.

Finally, when he was about to seal the mouth, Su Jiang suddenly picked up the scissors.

"and many more."

Saying this, she grabbed a small chunk of Xu Xiuyi's hair, cut some of it, then tied a beautiful knot with a red rope, put it in the middle of her purse, and said, "Okay, this is for Jinyuan, any woman. To give a purse to a beloved man, you must clip a section of your own hair, which means that you can't stay by your side, and a certain part of my body will always follow you."

Xu Xiuyi stared blankly at the tuft of hair, and suddenly remembered that someone had said, embroider a purse for me, and stuff a strand of your hair into it.

"What's wrong? Stupid?"

Su Li swayed his hand in front of Xu Xiuyi, only then did Xu Xiuyi relax, looked at the strand of hair, and said, "I didn't know there was such a statement, hehe."

Su Li said: "It just came up in the past few years, and I also accidentally heard from the wife of the house. I even made one for your elder brother in private. Your elder brother likes the one that he always carries with him. , I also put the hair of our young girl in it, and the two people who are closest and dearest will accompany him. You sew first, wait for your child to land, then take off the purse and stuff a strand of fetal hair in it. Everyone accompanies the third child, and the third child should die happily."

Speaking of urging Xu Xiuyi to sew, Xu Xiuyi smiled slightly, how should she explain, there is no possibility of sending this purse out.

After sealing the mouth, Su Li praised her craftsmanship several times. Seeing that she seemed a little tired, she said: "It's been a day of embroidery, and my eyes are tired. Go to sleep, I happened to be taking Miss Qing with me. On a trip home, this child is clamoring to get a jade flute, so he composes a new song on the piano, and insists on playing it on the jade flute."

Xu Xiuyi smiled slightly: "Well, sister-in-law, just go, be careful on the road."

Su Li snorted, walked to the door and turned back: "By the way, your second sister-in-law has gone back. The second child probably doesn't know that your second sister-in-law has been in Baoningtang for the past few days."

"gone back?"

"Well, the second sister-in-law hasn't finished her divorce yet. After all, your second sister-in-law is the second child's wife. She can't live with the second child's face outside. Your second sister-in-law is even more ugly, so she went back."

Xu Xiuyi thought, I'm afraid it's not that simple. She mentioned something about Su Jiang's family to Su Jinyuan again. Su Jinyuan, who is now at odds with Su Jinyi, and Su Jiang's hate Su Jinyi so much, she is willing to go back, there must be an article in it .

Perhaps, Su Jinyuan had the same thought as her, and used Su Jiang's family to deal with Su Jinyi first.

This, too, is guesswork, but it's not too far apart.

Su Li then went out. It was a cloudy day, and it rained in the morning. The weather was cool, and it was boring to stay in the house. Xu Xiuyi simply asked Jin Yu to accompany her to the back mountain for a walk.

There are also large honeysuckle flowers planted in the back mountain. It seems that the master of the Su family likes honeysuckle very much. Although it is cheap and medicinal, it has a wide range of medicinal values, and has strong reproductive ability. It also has a beautiful decorative effect. It is decorated with honeysuckle.

Walking on the mountain path lined with honeysuckle flowers, breathing in the cool air that is rare in summer after the light rain, Xu Xiuyi felt relaxed and happy, but it was a good idea. The stone steps in front of her were loose, and she stepped on the air. long order.

"Grandma!" Jin Yu screamed, hysterical, and her eyes were full of horror. Seeing Xu Xiuyi sliding down the stairs to the side of the small canyon, she chased after her like a madman. Continue to roll down and slide into deeper valleys.

Even so, it was enough to make Jin Yu panic.

"Grandma, grandma, I'm here to save you."

"Don't!" Enduring the severe pain, Xu Xiuyi said with her last strength, "Go call someone, don't come down, go call someone quickly."

"Grandma!" Jin Yu obviously didn't dare to leave, and knew that she must have no way to drag Xu Xiuyi up, causing chaos.

"Come on." Xu Xiuyi shouted hard, her voice hoarse.

"Okay, grandma, wait, wait."

Jin Yu was busy lifting her skirt and ran to the manor like crazy, calling for help as she ran.

Xu Xiuyi endured the pain and bit her lip. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Her face was pink and tender, but now she was pale and her stomach was tearing with pain. Although the little tree was saved. She died, but it happened to be blocked by her waist, and the severe pain was unbearable.

She didn't understand that the stone steps were fine a few days ago, and even if they loosened after the rain, they wouldn't loosen to such an extent.

But now she still has the heart to find out what happened to the stone steps. The severe pain almost killed her. The pain made her eyes blurred, but she tried hard to tell herself not to faint. The last bit of strength was deadly. Buckled into the mud, her limbs are now attached to her lower abdomen, and the pain is so painful that she faints.

There was a pair of warm hands that hugged her hard, her consciousness was a little sluggish, she saw a blurry face, both real and illusory, it seemed to belong to An Chengshao, she reached out to touch , the hand fell weakly.

How could it be him, now he probably wants her to die.

Her consciousness became more scattered, and she could no longer distinguish the scene in front of her. She was really fortunate that the sober gold and jade went away so quickly.

Fortunately, someone came, otherwise, she might not be able to hold on for another minute.

"Xu Xiuyi, Xu Xiuyi, wake up, Xu Xiuyi, I don't allow you to do anything, Xu Xiuyi, do you hear me?"

There was an urgent and crazy shouting in my ears, so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.

The sound became more and more distant, and at the end, the final sound penetrated deeply into my heart, as if An Chengshao was whispering in his ear - "Xiu'er".
