An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

When An Lingrong heard this, her nose became sore and she took a deep breath and said: "Mother, mother is not the only one who lives in this yard. There is also Lingrou from the clothing store, who is the slave girl I rescued and reformed for her. If she is a slave, she will move in with her mother. Her mother can bring the two maids from An Mansion to live with her. The embroidery shop that can be opened in Songyang County can also be opened in the capital. Ready-made clothing stores The business is getting bigger and bigger, Boss Qin has a son and a daughter, and I have Lingrou helping me. They produce semi-finished products, and if there are any embroidery patterns involved, the embroidery part may have to be divided up and given to my mother."

Lin Xiu nodded and said: "Although it has been done in Songyang County, if I can help, then I am willing to stay. As for your father, go back to visit him during the holidays. I believe he can also Understood.”

An Lingrong wrote letters and sent them back non-stop, and sent people to pick up the two maids Linglong and Xiuyu who usually served her mother in An Mansion. They were both young and had injuries on their outer skin. Fortunately, their faces were not injured. It's still recovering, but it won't affect long distance travel.

Her mother, Lin Xiu, couldn't restrain her love for busy work. When her legs could walk, she took Linglong and Xiuyu around the capital to conduct a thorough investigation. Which street, how many shops, what is the flow of people, price comparison, and where the goods are cost-effective? Lin Xiu asked Linglong and Xiuyu to write them down while visiting. Even the store jointly opened by An Lingrong and Qin Ziqiang was not spared.

As soon as Qin Ziqiang heard that she was An Lingrong's mother, he took the whole family and Lingrou together and invited Lin Xiu, Linglong and Xiuyu to have dinner at the best hotel in the capital. While introducing the scenery and customs of the capital, he got close to Lin Xiu and ate. After shopping, Qin Ziqiang carried a bunch of nutritional supplements and personally sent Lin Xiu back to the small courtyard with unique scenery.

Lin Xiu and Qin Ziqiang became acquainted with each other the first time, and they were close to each other. Firstly, they were in the same business field, and secondly, with An Lingrong's help, Qin Ziqiang took special care of Lin Xiu.

An Lingrong gave the yard a name - "Xiuzhuang", Qin Ziqiang asked someone to make a sign, went to the scene to direct it personally, asked people to put the sign above the gate of the yard, and also gave two fortune-seeking plants. tree and two four-season green trees to Lin Xiu as her housewarming gift.

An Lingrong received a reply from his father An Bihuai. He said that his second wife Zhu Yunting was unwilling to reconcile, so he put off the matter. He thought Zhu Yunting wanted to be with him wholeheartedly, but unexpectedly Zhu Yunting saw An Lingrong's letter. After returning the letter, he disappeared. Before disappearing, he plundered his father An Bihuai's life-long valuables and left An's house with his son and daughter. Later, it was found out that Zhu Yunting went to Zhu Yunhuang again with his money, and the two reunited and eloped. In the letter, An Bihuai regretted not listening to An Lingrong earlier, saying that if he had appraised Zhu Yunting earlier, he would not be so angry now. .

An Lingrong also wrote to his father An Bihuai, saying that since his father was an official and had little money, he might as well resign from the official position. The daughter bought a small courtyard house in the capital, so that the father could safely come to the capital with his mother to spend their old age together. The development opportunities in the capital are much greater than those in Songyang County. If there is a chance in the future, maybe a third-grade sesame officer can work in the capital. If the father doesn't want to be an official, it would be best. Aunt Xiao's bun shop and Aunt Zhu's pawn shop can support all the expenses of the An family. Aunt Zhu is in charge of the financial power of the An family anyway, so the father should think more about himself.

Lingrong entered the palace for the better development of An family. Now that Lingrong has established a firm foothold in the palace, he brought his mother and father to the capital for retirement. You can also bring Aunt Xiao's son and Aunt Li's son to the capital to study under the master of the courtyard, Mr. Shuu. The book fees are not expensive, and Aunt Xiao and Aunt Li can also afford it. Father and aunts talk about it , see what you think, Lingrong is waiting for your reply.

The moment he closed the letter, An Lingrong also realized that only if his aunts took over their sons, would they be willing to let their father An Bihuai come to the capital. There was not much ink in his father's belly, otherwise there would be no need for his mother to spend money. Money bought him to serve as an official. And his father's presence in the officialdom would not help him, but would harm him. It would be better for him to resign from his official position earlier. Without an official position embellished with gold, his aunts might not hold him in their hands every day and be jealous of him.

Soon, his father wrote back. He said he was still considering resigning, but he sent Aunt Xiao's son and Aunt Li's son to the capital first. Father didn't come, but Aunt Xiao and Aunt Li came. Suddenly, the two aunts' attitude towards An Lingrong improved one hundred and eighty degrees, and they expressed their full support for An Lingrong.

The second wife, Aunt Xiao, took Lin Xiu's left arm and said affectionately: "The importance of having children in this world is not the number. You see, they mausoleum a weak woman, but they can single-handedly build a courtyard in the capital for show." My mother will take care of her until her old age, and I will wait until my children grow up, but I don’t know if I have such filial piety.”

The fourth roommate, Zhu Lingling, usually had a superior look and never took Lin Xiu and An Lingrong seriously. At this time, she was extremely affectionate. She hugged Lin Xiu's right arm and the three women walked on the bustling and busy streets of the capital. , looking at the graceful couples in groups, looking at the eastern suburbs, looking at the western suburbs, looking at the willows on the riverside with lush grass, looking at the rice fields and wheat seedlings with abundant crops, the sun reflects on their faces, and their smiles are warm and charming.

After walking around and returning to the small courtyard of "Xiuzhuang", Lin Xiu placed a small wooden table on the green grass and asked Linglong to bring three plates of pastries and brew a pot of fragrant Longjing tea. The two aunts , one was sitting on the grass, the other was sitting on a bench, taking advantage of the coolness of the breeze, talking and laughing, and there was an unprecedented unity.

Lin Xiu stood by the pool and looked at the clear water. The pebbles on the bottom of the water were placed regularly, reflecting the brightness. There are several pear trees and peach trees in the opposite corner, which have entered the flowering period. The white petals are like silver snow, floating all over the sky, and the pink petals are like the blush on a girl's face, which is so beautiful.

The air here is fresh and very quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Not only Lin Xiu particularly likes the environment here, but Aunt Xiao and Li Lingling also like it very much. Aunt Xiao and Li Lingling are envious of Lin Xiu.

Two young boys were chasing and fighting in the yard, making a lot of noise and adding a little more vitality.

Lin Xiu said that she wanted to continue her embroidery business. If the two little boys from Anfu were studying in the capital, she would not have time to take care of them. It would be best for Aunt Xiao and Li Lingling to send people to take care of them themselves, but Aunt Xiao couldn't let her go. Baozi Shop, Li Lingling also couldn’t bear to part with her pawn shop.

So, after a discussion, they all felt that it would be most cost-effective for An Bihuai to resign and come to the capital to take care of his children. Anyway, An Bihuai earned the least money in An Mansion. With a salary of forty-five taels a year, Aunt Xiao and Li Lingling each Share it, everyone can afford it.

The matter was decided like this. For the sake of the future of their children, the two aunts went back and instigated An Bihuai to resign. Not long after, An Bihuai really resigned and came to the capital to take care of the children.
