Chapter 214: Make plans early
Chapter 214: Make plans early
However, Daiyu also understood that she could only serve as a reminder, as for whether the suggestion would be adopted or not, that was not something she could control.
In less than two months, Daiyu would leave for her journey, and she had many things to prepare. Fortunately, she did not go to the school again. She greeted the old lady and returned to her own courtyard.
In addition to the items to be brought back, the industries in Shenjing City must also be properly arranged.
As a capable assistant, Lin Ji would naturally accompany him. If they did not want to expose Huang Yongjin's existence, they could only let Yingchun keep the profits from Menghua Restaurant temporarily.
However, in this case, the profits for as short as one or two years or as long as five or six years may all remain in Yingchun's hands and cannot be exchanged for a farm or a shop in time.
Lan Rui looked at Daiyu, who was frowning and writing on paper, and asked curiously, "Miss, are you worried about the bonus?"
"Yeah, what do you suggest?"
Lan Rui smiled slightly: "How could the girl forget that Qiao Lin was born?"
Daiyu was stunned, and then she remembered the little beggar: after handing him over to Huang Yongjin, she indeed no longer paid any attention to him.
"You mean to let Qiao Linsheng temporarily replace Ling Ji and take over my open business in Shenjing City?"
Lan Rui continued to grind the ink, tilting her head and thinking for a moment: "He doesn't have to take full responsibility. With Manager Huang keeping an eye on things behind the scenes, wouldn't it be better if Qiao Linsheng stepped forward?"
After Daiyu thought about this method again, she knew it was feasible.
Daiyu smiled and said teasingly, "It's rare that you can be so smart for once!"
Lan Rui was about to smile triumphantly, but when she carefully considered what Daiyu said, it didn't seem to be a compliment.
"Girl, don't underestimate me! There will be more and more cases like this in the future!"
"Okay, okay, I'll wait and see," Daiyu said perfunctorily with a smile.
After finishing the housekeeping work in the afternoon, Shi Xiangyun and the other three girls sighed. Seeing that they were also in such pain, Daiyu and Yingchun couldn't help but smile with gloating.
Wang Xifeng announced: "Let's stop here for today!"
The three little ones cheered immediately, saluted hastily, and ran out hand in hand.
He didn't notice at all that Daiyu and Yingchun were still there.
When Wang Xifeng saw that they took the initiative to stay, she began to guess something.
"Tell me, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Daiyu called out "White Peony" and then said to Wang Xifeng with a smile, "I gave Sister Yuan a gift when she was born. Now we can't miss the one in your belly, and there is also one for Sister Ping'er."
She took the purse handed to her by Bai Shao and took out two exquisite sandalwood boxes, one with a tiger carved on it and the other with a leopard.
"I heard from Doctor Yu that you are both pregnant with a boy, so I specially prepared these two pieces of black jade. When I bought them, I heard that this peace locket can ward off poison and ensure safety. I don't know if it's true, but it's a token of my appreciation."
Yingchun just glanced into the box casually and saw that it was just a piece of Hetian jade with uniform texture, nothing special about it.
She immediately lost interest: "These shop owners are getting better and better at making up stories to sell their products!"
This is exactly the effect Daiyu wanted.
As long as Yingchun doesn't doubt the origin of this thing, and Wang Xifeng and Ping'er believe it, it will be fine.
Wang Xifeng took the box and said with a smile, "Since it is my sister's gift, how can I let her down?"
As she said this, she put the peace locket on her body, and handed the leopard-shaped box to Feng'er, asking her to take it to Ping'er's room.
Daiyu did not forget to remind Wang Xifeng again: "Although there are not many people in my sister-in-law's yard, Second Brother Lian goes out every day, and we don't know where he has been. If he brings back some unclean disease, the adults may be able to bear it, but Sister Yuan will suffer with him."
Wang Xifeng knew that Daiyu would never speak without a purpose, so she kept these words in mind.
Because Yingchun had something to ask Daiyu, she took her with her and walked back to Lixiangyuan.
"What did you mean by what you just said to Sister Feng?"
Daiyu thought about it and felt that it would be okay to tell Yingchun.
After all, Yingchun's master is in Shenjing City, so knowing these things earlier will allow her to make plans early.
So she told Yingchun about the natural disasters and insect pests that would occur in various places in the next few years, so that her master could make plans early.
“Is it really that scary?”
"Yes, the worst was the plague during the change of dynasties. I read in a book that due to the war and the plague, the population of the entire Shenjing City was reduced to less than 20%!"
After hearing this, Yingchun felt a little scared.
Recalling the nightmare she once had, her hands and feet turned cold.
Daiyu noticed something was wrong with Yingchun, so she held her hand and gave her some warmth and strength.
"Don't worry, I'm here! With my abilities, knowing about these disasters in advance, and the experience I've accumulated over the years, it should be more than enough to protect the people I care about."
The two held hands, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on their faces, giving them a touch of holiness.
"It's okay, I'm here!"
Yingchun remembered these simple words deeply in her heart, and before she knew it, she remembered them for the rest of her life.
Even with Daiyu's comfort, Yingchun was still worried that day.
Several times when Shi Xiangyun spoke to her, she was always a little slow to respond. Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but pout, obviously unhappy.
Seeing this, Daiyu smiled and came to Yingchun's rescue: "Sister Yingchun's good day is coming soon, maybe she is not feeling well."
"What a good day?"
When Tanchun heard this, her cheeks turned slightly red, thinking that the nanny had already taught her about this.
Daiyu didn't know how Tanchun's wet nurse had enlightened her, but looking at Tanchun's expression, it was obviously difficult for her to speak of it.
She suddenly remembered what Aunt Zhao often said, and couldn't help but blurt out, asking Tanchun: "You don't really think you came out of Aunt Zhao's intestines, do you?"
Tanchun looked embarrassed and responded in a low voice: "Isn't it...?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Daiyu, but also Yingchun regained her composure. They both looked at Tanchun with some concern.
Shi Xiangyun looked left and right, her face full of confusion: "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
After saying this, she stared at Daiyu closely, obviously not intending to let Daiyu fool her easily.
Daiyu and Yingchun exchanged glances. They both felt that if this matter was not explained clearly, it would probably lead to even greater misunderstandings.
Daiyu suddenly had an idea: "We can find Grandma Gu!"
When Nanny Gu received the message from the maid, she thought Daiyu wanted to see her for something important.
But when she saw the curious eyes of Shi Xiangyun and the other three, and compared them with the slightly evasive eyes of her own girl and Miss Yingchun, what was there to not understand?
SOLD!
These three words popped up subconsciously in Grandma Gu's mind.
