Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 600 It's actually a hush money
Chapter [-] is actually a hush money
"Miss Lu, if your embroidery is ugly, then what I embroider is real dog crawling." He Lanshan shook her head, "Fortunately, I'm almost stainless."

Mu Qianjiao couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she held the handkerchief and said to Lu Qingrou, "Yes, among the three of us, you are the one who embroiders the best."

"Since you like it, I can rest assured." Listening to their words, Lu Qingrou showed a sweet smile and accepted their compliments with pleasure.

The three of them laughed and played in the garden for a while, and it was almost time to leave.

Lu Qingrou was about to let her maids send her out of the mansion, but before she could leave her yard, the maids beside Mrs. Lu came again, but this time they also brought several second-class maids with them, and these maids all held her hands. With a beautiful box, the lid is open, you can see what's inside.

Lu Qingrou was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, and the maid replied that it was a thank you gift for He Lanshan.

"Miss He saved our young lady and passed on the words of the old lady, so that you must accept it, so that the old lady will be at ease." The maid lowered her head slightly as she spoke, and asked the maids to take a step forward, as if wanting He Lan Shan saw what was inside.

Inside lay quietly a string of pearls, a round jade pendant, a ginseng and a tea set rimmed with gold silk.

Lu Qingrou raised her head and looked at He Lanshan, knowing that she was not a greedy person, although she should be thankful, but these gifts from her grandmother seemed a little too expensive, she was a little worried that He Lanshan would not be able to accept them all at once.

However, to her surprise, He Lanshan looked at these things, pondered for a moment with a blank expression on her face, and then directly agreed.

Seeing that she didn't give a single excuse, the servant girl also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The old lady has prepared a carriage, and I will take you and these things back in a while." After the maid finished speaking, she led everyone down first.

Seeing that Lu Qingrou seemed a little worried about herself, He Lanshan secretly pulled her aside and explained her intentions.

After hearing her finished speaking, Lu Qingrou finally resolved her confusion, and said with a sigh of relief, "I'm still thinking, I'm still worried about why grandma gave you such precious things for no reason."

He Lanshan went back in the carriage specially prepared by Lu's mansion. When she placed all the things Mrs. Lu gave her on the table in the main hall in an open and aboveboard manner, Zhao Shuangxi exclaimed when she saw it, "Oh, why did you go here? Wouldn’t it be nice to come back with so many things from others?”

Zhao Shuangxi knew that He Lanshan was not a greedy person when it came to gifts from outsiders, and if she got back so much at once, there might be some reason she didn't know, she was even more worried.

"Mother, sit down first." He Lanshan took her hand and sat down, gave her a wink, and then whispered the whole story to her.

"This is actually the hush money that Mrs. Lu gave me. If I don't accept it, Mrs. Lu won't feel at ease." He Lanshan raised her eyebrows and said, "This is related to the reputation of the ladies of the Lu family. Accepting these things means that I am willing to keep my mouth shut."

Zhao Shuangxi looked surprised. She thought it was an ordinary gift, but she didn't expect that there were so many ways behind it.

"The young ladies of Lu's mansion are all unmarried. Compared with their reputation, this is nothing, so let's accept it with confidence." He Lanshan raised her hand to touch the jade pendant, it was warm and delicate, It is indeed a good thing.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Shuangxi heaved a sigh of relief, and then happily admired the things Mrs. Lu gave, touching the string of pearls while saying, "This string of pearls must be very expensive, right? Would it be too flamboyant if I carried it?"

She compared it in front of her, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was really flamboyant, so she immediately put it back in the box.

He Lanshan couldn't help but smiled and took it out for her to put on, "No, mother, you can take it with you at ease, and there is also that tea set, just take it out and use it."

"Really?" Zhao Shuangxi was also moved by what was said, but then she put it away resolutely. He Lanshan was a little puzzled, she shook her head proudly and said, "When your eldest brother and second brother get their names on the gold list, I will put them away." Take it out. I wear this string of pearls, and let them serve me tea with this!"

Zhao Shuangxi's eyes were shining so excitedly that He Lanshan didn't even have time to speak, and she even cleaned up the two things quickly.

He Lanshan couldn't help laughing, so she had no choice but to let her go.

The opening day of Shixiang Pavilion is coming in a blink of an eye, and there are still two days before the official opening, but that night, He Lanshan was already so nervous that she couldn't sleep in bed, and she even repeatedly imagined the lively scene on the opening day in her heart up.

After midnight, He Lanshan's excited mood slowly calmed down. Hearing the wind outside rustling the leaves, she finally calmed down and fell asleep.

This day, just in time for the sweet-scented osmanthus in the capital to bloom, the air is filled with the scent of flowers.

He Lanshan was in the restaurant looking at the firecrackers that needed to be prepared on the day of the opening, the red silk to unveil the plaque, and the things that needed to be enshrined. She was watching when she suddenly heard Xiaokui come in and say with a look of embarrassment: "Miss, just now we invited Chef Fang sent someone to come and tell us that he couldn’t come.”

He Lanshan was taken aback, and quickly raised her head, as if she didn't hear her words clearly, she asked again, "What do you mean you can't come?"

Xiaokui was sad and nervous, and looked at He Lanshan uneasily, "That means he won't come to us as a cook on the day of the opening, and after that."

He Lanshan felt her heart tighten suddenly, and she was so startled that she couldn't breathe.

"Good girl, why is Chef Fang suddenly unable to come?" Zhao Shuangxi and He Jinyi also heard the news and came to look for her.

After Zhao Shuangxi asked the question by herself, she felt that this question was inappropriate. If Chef Fang didn't come, they were going to die of anger, so how could they know why he didn't come.

She remembered He Lanshan's words before, and quickly suggested: "Forget it, isn't it just Chef Fang, if you don't come, you won't come, at worst we will find another cook."

He Jinyi and Xiaokui also agreed with this idea. Although He Lanshan nodded and agreed, she still felt strange.

Logically speaking, Chef Fang is a loyal and honest person with good craftsmanship and generous remuneration. He has no reason not to come, and he didn't even say a reason, which is very strange.

If there is something urgent at home, it's okay to talk about it, if it doesn't suddenly break the appointment like this, it will not be good for my reputation if it spreads out, and many restaurants may not dare to take it in the future, He Lanshan doesn't think that Chef Fang is so stupid that he ruined his reputation people.

Intuitively, He Lanshan also felt that there must be some other problem.
