Chapter 20 The Benefits of Taking Advantage

"You girl, you're getting more and more talkative!" Master Yao listened to his daughter's words of admiration and looked at her admiring eyes. Can speak well!"

"Daddy is making fun of me!" Yao Cunhui smiled shyly, took the tea bowl from Red Polygonum and offered it to Master Yao with both hands: "Daddy, please use tea!"

Yao Cunhui, where can I find good tea here?Master Yao lifted the lid with a smile. The familiar tea scent did not hit his nostrils, but a sharp astringent smell instead. It was conveniently set aside.

Yao Cunhui didn't seem to notice his movements and expressions at all, and she still smiled calmly, telling him about Yao Shizan's situation in detail, and when she talked about her joy, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her pretty face was full of smiles.

Master Yao observed his words and was secretly relieved, he was very happy in his heart, and felt more and more that it was right for him to entrust his son to this daughter to take care of.

Master Yao felt happy, and became generous to his daughter, and said with a smile: "Hui'er is really getting more and more capable! You have worked so hard to take care of your younger brother, but what do you want? Just tell your father, and your father will satisfy you." !"

Yao Cunhui sneered in his heart, but his eyes lit up, the beautiful Qiushui blinked, tilted his head and asked in surprise and joy: "Really?"

Seeing her cute and cute appearance, Master Yao's heart softened, and he couldn't help but look at her with affection, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, can Daddy still deceive Huier?"

Yao Cunhui said with a smile: "Hui'er is living well now, she just made new clothes, her sister gave her a lot of jewelry, and her mother asks the kitchen to cook bird's nest porridge every day for Hui'er's health. Speaking of which, Huier is really nothing Necessary! But," she blinked slyly, and said with a mischievous smile, "Hui'er can't disappoint Daddy, can she? So, Huier begged Daddy, and Huier wanted to go to Daddy's study to find a few books to get rid of. Time, I don't know if Dad will allow it or not?"

Master Yao couldn't stop laughing when he heard her say such a long list and looked at her, but he was stunned when he heard her say that he wanted to go to his study to read, and looked at her in surprise.

He thought that she would ask him for clothes and jewellery, rouge and gouache, or antique ornaments, or all kinds of new gadgets that girls like, but he didn't expect that she would ask him for books.

Master Yao couldn't help sizing up carefully, and re-examined this daughter who had never been valued by him.

Could it be that I was blinded by myself?Could it be that this is a dusty pearl?

"I wonder what kind of books Hui'er wants to read?" Master Yao asked with a smile, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

Yao Cunhui expected that he would ask this question, so she said without hesitation, "Well, Hui'er wants to read some books about mountains, rivers, geography, phenology, specialties, human customs and customs in various places. Daddy must have them there, right?"

"Oh?" Master Yao raised his eyebrows, even more surprised.

He thought that she would ask him for some poems, songs, legends and ghosts, no way!
"How do you know that Daddy must have what you said?" Master Yao asked again with a smile, and there was more interest in his shrewd eyes.

This daughter, it seems that he has neglected her for a long time!
Yao Cunhui smiled and said, "Daddy must have them! Daddy's business is so big, shipping, purchasing, dispatching, and turnover require traveling back and forth between so many towns and regions in Dazhou, so how can we not know the regions in advance?" What about characteristics, phenology and production? Dad is a Confucian businessman, so he can't compare to those short-sighted and low-level small businessmen! So Huier is sure that Dad must have these books."

"Confucian businessman? Confucian businessman?" Master Yao was shocked by his daughter's words, but what shocked him the most was the word Confucian businessman. He muttered, the brilliance in his eyes The smile became stronger and stronger, the smile on the corner of the mouth became stronger and stronger, and the heart surged, and suddenly there was a feeling of enlightenment and a clear and transparent mood!
Confucian businessmen!But it is!Isn't he a Confucian businessman!Not only an imperial merchant, but also a Confucian merchant!Who says businessmen are inferior to scholars?There are also businessmen who have read books, businessmen whose knowledge is not inferior to those literati!
"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Mr. Yao had endless aftertaste, and couldn't help but slapped his palm on his thigh and burst into laughter. When he spread this word in the business world, many people would look at him with admiration!

The more Master Yao thought about it, the more complacent he became, and the more he liked Yao Cunhui.

"Daddy?" Yao Cunhui looked confused.

Master Yao came back to his senses in a daze. He wanted to ask her why she came up with such wonderful words, but then thought, maybe it was just a mistake, otherwise why would she have such an expression?Master Yao put the question aside, nodded and smiled and said, "Since Huier likes it, I'll go to Dad's study to pick some books later! I'll buy new ones after I finish reading them!"

"Okay, thank you daddy!" Yao Cunhui's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up and thanked him.

Master Yao chuckled and raised his hand. At first, he wanted to ask her to learn to do business with her, but after thinking about it, Zan'er is more important now, and let her concentrate on taking care of Zan'er. Let's talk about learning to do business later!During this period of time, I would like to take this opportunity to test her again, to see how her learning ability is, how well she arranges and handles things, and whether she is worth cultivating, so I swallowed the words again.

Yao Cunhui worked hard, but in fact, he also wanted to learn from his father to do business. The principle that the economic base determines the superstructure is universal, and Yao Cunhui certainly regards it as a golden rule.Only by participating in the Yao family's business and gaining connections and power in her hands, can she have the capital to protect herself, otherwise, she is just a bird in a cage, and she has to be ready to be crushed to death by her master at any time!

Seeing that Master Yao hesitated to speak, Yao Cunhui finally laughed and said nothing. She was extremely disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. Instead, she warmly invited her father and said, "Daddy, it's about time anyway, how about Daddy will stay and have lunch with Huier today? After lunch, Huier will go to Daddy's study to pick some books, okay, Daddy!"

Since the goal of long-term development cannot be achieved for the time being, she must seek some immediate benefits, right?
Master Yao didn't want to stay at first, but it was rare to see his daughter acting like a baby to him, with such a cute and cute expression, showing a lot of attachment to him, his heart softened, he nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, Daddy will stay today." Let's have dinner with Hui Er!"

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Daddy!" Yao Cunhui was overjoyed, his brows were crooked with a smile, and then he said: "After talking for a long time, Daddy must be hungry too, the bird's nest porridge Huier just sent is still useless Hong Zhi, go and get the bird’s nest porridge that mother sent for, and give it to dad!”

Yao Cunhui gave orders like offering treasures, almost making Hongzhi's heart jump out of fright!

Can such "bird's nest porridge" be delivered to the master?It's no wonder the master is not angry!The master got angry, went back and blamed the madam, and the madam had to expose her skin!

How could Hongzhi dare to serve this "bird's nest porridge", she gritted her teeth, knelt down and lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "Second miss, slave, servant accidentally knocked over the porridge, second miss please forgive me!"

Master Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and his sharp eyes glanced over Hong Zhi's head. Although Hong Zhi didn't see it, his body froze for no reason, and his hair stood on end.

"What a clumsy slave!" Yao Cunhui frowned, waved his hands and reprimanded: "Forget it, get up! Be careful next time, if you do it again, it won't be a matter of just saying a few words!"

"Yes, servant girl, thank you for your kindness!" Hong Zhi climbed up as if she was relieved, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Servant, servant girl, I will go to the kitchen to rush lunch, please wait for the master and second lady!"

Yao Cunhui glanced at his father inquiringly, and pouted at Hong Zhi: "Go, let them prepare quickly!"

"Yes, Second Miss!" Hong Zhi heard this, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

At noon today, if the kitchen delivers such meals to Second Miss as usual, she won't be the only one who will die by then!
Yao Cunhui knew exactly what Hongzhi wanted to do, and this was exactly what she wanted.From today on, Ma Shi will restrain himself a bit, right?She is looking forward to the dinner tonight and what the bird's nest porridge will look like tomorrow!
Facts have proved that Yao Cunhui's expectations were right. Mrs. Ma couldn't take the risk, couldn't afford the eventuality, and never dared to skip the meals of Luomeiyuan, including the bird's nest porridge delivered every day, although it was not as good as what she enjoyed herself. Superb, but also the best stuff.

Yao Cunhui chatted with his father in great interest, and led his father to tell him some interesting business stories. The father and daughter got along very well.

The lunch was very sumptuous, and Yao Cunhui ate with his father. After sitting for a while, he got up and went to the study with him to get a book.

Out of the house, Yao Cunhui looked at the oleanders that were in full bloom on the wall, and shouted: "Hongzhi, the residual flowers of this oleander are all over the ground, dirtying the good yard! Xiaoli, Xiaoli What about Xing? Tell them to clean up quickly!"

After hearing this, Hong Zhi quickly agreed.

Oleander?Master Yao couldn't help but stop in his tracks, looked over coldly with half-closed narrow phoenix eyes, turned his gaze, and scanned the entire small courtyard.Only then did I realize that there were no other flowers and trees in this small courtyard except oleanders!
Master Yao's heart suddenly burst into anger!Oleander, others do not know, how could he who loves to play with flowers and trees in his spare time, plant and trim himself to cultivate his body and mind, so as to relax his body and mind?The leaves, bark, roots, stems, and flowers of this product are all highly poisonous, especially the milky white juice. People and animals will die if they eat it by mistake, and the skin will itch and fester if it accidentally touches it. Paralyze people's nerves, make people dizzy, short of breath...
