[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu

At another banquet, Ding Tongzhi, slightly drunk, took a glass of wine, walked to Liu Cui's side with a sincere heart, and respectfully said: "Come on, old lady, let's have a drink."

Facing the court official's initiative to show his favor, Liu Cui's smile did not change: "I also offer a cup to Mr. Ding." Then he drank it all in one gulp.

Fortunately, the alcohol content in ancient times was not high, and it was not bitter. Liu Cui took anti-alcoholic medicine in advance, otherwise Liu Cui would have been able to do so with ease. If you don't see it, Ding Tongzhi would almost drink and lie on the table.

That's right, of course Liu Cui was not looking for Tongzhi Ding to reminisce about the past, but to find out information.

The medicinal material incident was the first crisis that Liu Cui managed to block Lin Ruhai with her gold finger, because Liu Cui could see the light from plants of different qualities.

Coincidentally, during the period when Liu Cui lived in the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai would often come over to have dinner with Liu Cui and others in order to show his respect and importance to Liu Cui, so Liu Cui saw Lin Ruhai lift up his hand more than once. A bowl of pitch-black Chinese medicine with a black air to drink.

Originally, Liu Cui thought that the black air she saw was a coincidence.Unexpectedly, once the dog caught a cold due to overworking the store, Liu Cui watched the dog drink the medicine but found that there was nothing in the dog's bowl.Only then did Liu Cui realize: There are ghosts in the medicine!

Although this matter has been perfectly resolved temporarily, Lin Ruhai's safety factor will be greatly improved in the future, and the possibility of poisoning will be minimized.But Liu Cui had a hunch that the poisoning incident was not the end, but the beginning.

So... what should I do next?Liu Cui tapped her fingers on the table lightly, thinking.This level of difficulty is many times more difficult than persuading Sister Feng.

Sigh~ At present, the information I have is still too little, Liu Cui couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Too little information affects my prediction!

Therefore, Liu Cui locked herself in her room again and took out her most precious little notebook to write and draw on it again.

Finally, when Wuxu, who was waiting outside, was about to fall asleep, Liu Cui finally opened the door and went out. Before Wuxu greeted her, the order to "prepare the carriage" came out. "Communication" to inquire about information.Blindly defending is useless, Liu Cui is going to take the initiative to attack!

However, I have to say that Ding Tongzhi looks sleek, but in fact he is much more innocent by the temperament he wants to show.

Here, people on both sides intend to make friends, and a banquet will naturally enjoy the guests and hosts. When Ding Tongzhi was drunk, Liu Cui was unambiguous. He raised his glass and toasted, but whispered: "Mr. Tongzhi, it seems that Mr. Lin , have hope"

Yes, Liu Cui is not too fond of the implicitness of the ancients, and always likes to go straight to the point and hit the nail on the head.

Although Ding Tongzhi was surprised by Liu Cui's "going up the road", he also mumbled in a very low voice: "I want to use Master Lin's strength to make a great contribution together, so that we can move each other's official positions and rise up. .”

"Promotion!" Liu Cui's heart thumped wildly, "If Lin Ruhai is promoted, then maybe he can go back to the capital, avoid the fate of death, and take Daiyu away when the time comes, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" "

Thinking of this incident, Liu Cui looked at Ding Tongzhi with different eyes. It is true that people cannot be judged by appearances, and sea water cannot be measured!

"I'm a little sure," Liu Cui warned.

Ding Tongzhi smiled slightly, but didn't say anything more, only revealed one thing: "If Master Lin helps you all, at least [-]% sure."

Ninety percent is very high.It's just... Is Ding Tongzhi reliable? Liu Cui began to think about it, and when he was about to ask, Ding Tongzhi was like a gourd with its mouth sawn, and didn't answer anything.

Liu Cui was helpless, it seemed that Ding Tongzhi was a typical person who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, so he had to change the subject: "Then what's the benefit of our Fengji Pavilion...?"

Ding Tongzhi smiled naively, Fengji Pavilion owns the shares of my brother-in-law's family, rounding up we are a family, if there are any difficulties in the future, I will help.

"It's the same as not saying it." Liu Cui secretly slandered, "Would you stand by and watch when your nephew is in trouble?"

Ding Tongzhi is probably well aware of this, and added with a smile: "Don't worry, madam, I can also help in other areas."

Ah! "Then this area in the south of the Yangtze River depends on you, my lord." Although Liu Cui was a little dissatisfied with this old fox, she still had the courtesy she deserved.

Ding Tongzhi bowed his hands to Liu Cui.

Liu Cui knew that she was just a sounding board, so she shouldn't ask too much.However, with Ding Tongzhi's status, he can still do some things. If he dares to fool Liu Cui, he must be prepared to be fooled by Liu Cui.

Moreover, Ding Tongzhi's words reminded Liu Cui of something.Liu Cui rubbed her chin, she still had a lot of things to do...

....................................

The next day, Liu Cui went to the study in person, trying to convey Ding Tongzhi's meaning to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai had just finished practicing calligraphy and was admiring her own paintings, shaking her head from time to time, as if dissatisfied with the details.But Liu Cui glanced at it, and it was a landscape painting with a pretty good artist.

As soon as Lin Ruhai saw Liu Cui coming in, he smiled and asked, "What's the old lady doing today" while inviting Liu Cui to sit beside her.

Liu Cui was not the kind of nonsense, she just told Lin Ruhai what she wanted.

Lin Ruhai's hand that was holding the tea bowl froze for a moment, then took a sip of water with a normal expression, then put down the teacup gracefully, and said: "I am the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor, and I am also responsible for supervising local officials. Therefore, it is not advisable to get too close to this local official, although I have worked in the local area for many years, but I am not very familiar with this fellow.”

Liu Cui nodded slightly. According to the information Liu Cui inquired before coming to Yangzhou, although Yangzhou is extremely rich, it also has a lot of nonsense.Looking at Lin Ruhai's whole body demeanor, he is a bit lofty and self-confident, and he doesn't seem to be able to get along with local officials.

"However, since Mr. Ding invited you, the old lady should pass on the message. Ruhai should also go." Lin Ruhai was going to meet Ding Guangtao in private.

"Then Master Lin has found the real culprit behind the scenes?" Seeing that she already understood her mission, Liu Cui naturally changed the subject to this side.

Lin Ruhai's smug expression just now turned a little ugly, and he slapped the table angrily: "This... my Lin Mansion is almost being pierced into a sieve! Any cat or dog can get in, and I have already sent someone to clean it up. Already!"

Liu Cui seemed to have something to say: "Then... if someone can poison your medicine, will they also play tricks on Miss Min?"

Jia Min's death has always been an eternal pain in Lin Ruhai's heart!Upon hearing this, Lin Ruhai immediately stood up and was furious: "I see who dares!"

Liu Cui wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, pretending to wipe her tears, and said sadly: "I just said, after all, Miss Min was in very good health when she was not out of the cabinet, how could... have left early? I left my poor Daiyu alone helpless, and left his father at a young age..."

Lin Ruhai reacted violently at first, but time flowed quietly like water. Jia Min had passed away for many years, and Lin Ruhai became calmer than before, and was no longer that shaggy little stunned young man.

So Lin Ruhai hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize to Liu Cui, and Liu Cui waved his hand to express his understanding. "Zhuo Jing has been in poor health since giving birth to Yu'er, and she passed away within a few years... What the old lady said makes sense, and I will send someone to investigate carefully." Lin Ruhai wrote down this point.

"Well, that's good!" Regardless of whether Jia Min's death is strange or not, anyway, only Lin Ruhai will investigate, and he will recall all the past, and maybe he will miss Daiyu even more. The idea of ​​taking Daiyu back home.

Rongguo Mansion is not such a clean place, it's better to get out as soon as possible!

.......................................

Firstly, there is no danger on Lin Ruhai's side for the time being, secondly, the affairs in the officialdom are too hidden, and Liu Cui can't understand it for a while, thirdly, there are some business problems recently, so Liu Cui has started to Busy about the rouge shop.

Liu Cui wanted to open a workshop in Yangzhou. She was interested in a valley with beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate, but there were also many flowers to be planted. Liu Cui wanted to build a workshop there, hoping to radiate the entire Jiangnan area and expand its business.

However, this secret recipe is of great importance and cannot be revealed.Moreover, there are many businessmen in Yangzhou with many methods, and there are even more people who are open to money.

Therefore, even Zou's father did not dare to guarantee that there would be no accidents with this secret recipe.Therefore, everyone is arguing whether to build a workshop in Yangzhou or not. Liu Cui built it out of selfishness, just like in the previous life, one company went to another company to build a factory and then sold it directly to the locals, saving transportation costs.

But now... the situation is different from the previous life, and Liu Cui is also a little hesitant.Although this dynasty does not prohibit selling one's body into slavery, there is a quota for not being able to buy too much privately.

But Liu Cui’s wife really likes that valley. There are mountains, water and flowers, and you can build a bamboo house in it to satisfy all Liu Cui’s fantasies when she was a girl. Build a workshop next to it, so that I feel closer to my fantasy, so the scene has been a bit stalemate recently,

So... In the end, both parties gave in a step, only opened a store in Yangzhou, and then built a workshop when the time was ripe.picnic, walk

However, while Liu Cui was still in Yangzhou, she often invited friends to have a picnic in that valley.

Spring is here, and everyone who has been bored in the room all winter also wants to go out for a walk. The place is nice, so everyone also gives Liu Cui a lot of face, and often goes there for picnics together.

But on this day, on a whim, Liu Cui planned to go to the valley to see the progress of the house he had built there, so he asked someone to prepare a carriage early.But this time, I didn't call anyone else, but went there lightly, and went back quickly.

But Gou'er and Zou Ying were busy with the business of the store and couldn't come here, Liu Cui was only followed by Wuxu.

As a result... This time, Liu Cui had another unusual encounter...
