Old things in Nancheng

The cool breeze has faith, the autumn moon is boundless, life is so beautiful that people live in dreams.The reason why a dream is a dream is that it is unreal. Once you wake up, all the good things will come to naught.

Taohua doesn't want to live in a dream, this kind of life is not something she can have, no matter how much she gives, it's just charity, and it's better to earn it with one hand and one foot.

Material satisfaction does not mean happiness. The people around her are smiling very sweetly and purely at the moment. Taohua has never seen Wang Zimo smile so purely in Xingyuan Mansion. Such a smile is addictive, but Taohua knows , Such a smile is not in full bloom for yourself.

"Xiao Er, I have something I want to discuss with you." Tao Hua finally made up her mind, and sooner or later she will talk about this plan.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to leave here, don't worry, this is just my own idea and has nothing to do with others."

Wang Zimo straightened up, trying to see Taohua's expression clearly, but Taohua didn't look at him, but looked at the lake and said quietly: "Xiao Er, I know you treat me well, but rich clothes and fine food are not what I want. After being imprisoned for so many years, I can no longer restrain myself from wanting to be free, now here, why not just another cage.”

But the sky is big and the earth is big, no matter how big the space is, isn't it a cage? Wang Zimo doesn't understand why Taohua longs for freedom so much, because even if she herself goes to jail, she won't lose much freedom.

"Okay, think about it again, and talk about it in a few days."

Wang Zimo felt very bad, and wanted to talk to Lin Zhilan, but Lin Zhilan was already asleep. Wang Zimo lay on the bed and sighed, and Lin Zhilan, who was pretending to be asleep, felt awkward when he heard it.

When she woke up the next day, Lin Zhilan didn't give Wang Zimo a good look. She definitely wouldn't quarrel, but cold violence still had to be given. Wang Zimo was smart when he was smart, but he was too confused when he was stupid. She is angry with herself, but she feels that she and Taohua are innocent, such anger is a bit unnecessary.

However, how can a woman in love have so many reasons to say, just coax her to know that she is the only one in your heart. Wang Zimo is really too young, how can he wake up without suffering.

Accompanied by the Jiang brothers after breakfast at West Point, Wang Zimo and the three of them went to the study to discuss business. Jiang Shangpei didn't understand business, so only Wang Zimo talked with Jiang Shanggui, but as the second in command of Yanguan County, Jiang Shangpei needed him officially To be comprehensive, so he needs to know what he is going to do.

"Brother Zimo, I wonder if you have any plans?" Since Wang Zimo wanted to start a business, Jiang Shanggui wanted to hear her idea first.

Wang Zimo took a booklet, which is an ancient version of market research planning book, and asked Jiang Shanggui to read it while listening to his introduction.

According to Wang Zimo's understanding, stir-fry and steak should be divided into two businesses, with different cultures, and forcible fusion would be neither fish nor fowl.In terms of difficulty, the source of beef is a big problem for steak because the government prohibits the slaughter of farm cattle, while cooking can be opened directly.

"What brother Zimo said is very true. This is exactly what my younger brother is worried about. The steak requires a large number of beef cattle, and the elder brother needs to open up joints in the official circle. This cannot be done overnight." Jiang Shanggui nodded.

"Third brother, I plan to open a stir-fry restaurant in our Yanguan County to test the waters. If it runs well, we can expand the branch to Lin'an Prefecture and other places. Now many high-ranking officials and wealthy households in the county have come with the officials. The source of customers is not a problem, the positioning of the store should also be of a high standard, the chef has already prepared, and everything else is easy to talk about, but how to get people to accept our new stuff is the big problem."

"Hey, what's so difficult about this? Isn't my elder brother back? The dust-cleaning banquet has not yet been held. Besides, elder brother has been promoted to the county magistrate. My Jiang family wants a banquet. Who would dare not come?" It's not a problem, which Jiang family banquet is not a good day for dignitaries to gather together.

"If that's the case, then there will be the third brother Lao."

Wang Zimo is very satisfied with Jiang Shanggui's knowledge and interest. She lacks everything, but what she lacks the most is contacts, and this is the strength of the Jiang family. Such cooperation and complementary strengths are not the best partners.

The stir-fry restaurant was finalized in this way. The Wang family was responsible for the preparation work, and the Jiang family was responsible for opening the situation. Wang Zimo contributed 2000 taels, Jiang Shanggui contributed 800 taels, and the management rights belonged to the Wang family. The Jiang family only sent the accountant to follow the accounts, and other trivial matters Regardless, this is also a very good plan, to avoid internal strife between the two due to power struggles, and it will be very bad if it hurts the relationship.

As for steaks and cakes, you have to find someone to raise cattle and chickens first. Jiang Shanggui originally planned to have someone go to the countryside to collect them, but was rejected by Wang Zimo. Chicken farms, centralized breeding, one-stop operation, the profits from the beginning to the end are in hand.

Jiang Shanggui didn't expect Wang Zimo to be so ambitious, so he agreed. Each of the two families sent people to be responsible. Be a clerk in the store.Chen Wangshu is good at farming and has a good relationship with the village. It is most suitable for him to handle this matter, and it will not be a big problem to send two shopkeepers to help.

In this way, the direction has been roughly set. Jiang Shanggui needs to go back and report to Jiang Shifang, and choose another auspicious day to entertain the nobles in the county in the name of Jiang Shangpei. Home.

After seeing off the two, Wang Zimo had no time to spare, and led a few old shopkeepers to wander around the city. With a good horse and a saddle, she had to choose a rich shop herself.

But how can a good shop be so easy to choose? When in Xingyuan Mansion, Wang Zimo was able to pick up the leaks because of the war situation. In a good place like Yanguan County, the prosperous shop has long been taken over by the family, even if someone is willing to sell it. , the price is also frighteningly high, Wang Zimo walked around the city for four or five days, but he didn't have the slightest idea.

On the way back, Wang Zimo couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, remembering Wang Qinian said that it would be very difficult for her to go out alone, she didn't believe it at the time, but this time she finally realized it deeply.No way, the Jiang family has to come forward to deal with the shop.

Back home, seeing Yan'er leading Shen Feng and Bao'er playing around, Wang Zimo's exhaustion from the day dissipated, hugged Bao'er and kissed him, and asked, "Yan'er, where's sister-in-law?"

Yan'er hesitated to speak, Wang Zimo became more and more strange: "What happened to your sister-in-law?"

"No." Yan'er shook her head quickly, and whispered next to Wang Zimo: "Sister Taohua talked to sister-in-law, and the two of them have been talking in the room for half an hour."

Simple as Yan'er, she knew there was a problem with Peach Blossom, Wang Zimo couldn't help being impatient when she heard that, it was impossible for these two people to confront Maimang with the tip of a needle, judging by their temper, Peach Blossom might be suppressed to death by Lin Zhilan.

After giving Bao'er to Yan'er, Wang Zimo entered the room eagerly, only to see Tao Hua wiping tears there, and Lin Zhilan's complexion was not very good.

Lin Zhilan hadn't paid much attention to Wang Zimo for the past few days because of Taohua's nonsense. Wang Zimo was holding back a lot of breath. Seeing such a scene, the usually gentle person's face sank.

Seeing that Wang Zimo came back, Taohua felt that it was inappropriate to be caught between the two, so she said hello to Wang Zimo and left.Wang Zimo sat down with a heavy face, staring at Lin Zhilan blankly.

I just thought that Lin Zhilan was definitely going to quarrel with herself, who would have thought that Lin Zhilan called Caiyue to bring in cold water, twisted a cotton cloth to wipe her face herself: "Look, look again, how tanned these days, why don't you know how to hold an umbrella, Get up and change clothes, you smell of sweat."

Wang Zimo stiffened his neck and let Lin Zhilan toss about, wondering in his heart, didn't they quarrel, why did it get better again.

"Taohua told me to leave, but I tried to persuade her for a long time but failed. She was determined to leave, but how could I feel at ease when she was alone outside? Later, when I thought of you asking Chen Wangshu to open a chicken farm, I asked her if she would Knowing how to raise chickens, she said that she was good at raising chickens when she was at home, so I suggested that she go to the chicken farm, and she agreed this time."

"The chicken farm is naturally not as good as here, but with Brother Shu taking care of it, Taohua should live well." Wang Zimo murmured.

"I think so too. If she wants to leave, forcing her to stay will only embarrass her. It's good to do something. I don't have time to think about it."

"Then why did she cry?"

"I can't bear you." Lin Zhilan rolled her eyes, seeing that Wang Zimo's clothes had been put on, and she had returned to the state of cold war.

Wang Zimo was at a loss for words for a moment, and after sitting with him for a while, seeing that Lin Zhilan was still angry, he could only walk away in despair.For Wang Zimo's attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation, Lin Zhilan hated her so much that she took the pillow and slammed it on the bed a few times.

No worries!

The mother was angry, so she had to ask her daughter for comfort. When Wang Zimo arrived in Baoer's room, she saw Caiyue teaching Baoer how to read pictures. When she didn't bring it, Caiyue always carried it.

"Little lady, what is this? It's a chick. This one is a duckling. Be good, little lady, please follow sister Caiyue, chicken~duck~"

It was a protracted battle, and Wang Zimo couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

"Caiyue, let me come."

"The officials are here, but the lady still refuses to speak!"

"Father!" Seeing Wang Zimo, Bao'er grinned cheerfully, as if she was against Caiyue's words, she spoke readily.

"Oh, dad's lazy girl, if you don't call me 'mother', dad will have a hard time."

Bao'er was happy when she heard this, and she tilted her head and laughed like a thief.

Everyone knows that Bao'er is smart, and she can understand ordinary words, but she doesn't speak. Since Wang Zimo came back, Bao'er is not dumb, but this girl is too lazy.If you are angry with her, she will still act cute, rubbing her soft body against you, trying to please you to kiss, who can be really angry with such a child.

"Bao'er, do you want to sleep with your parents tonight?" Wang Zimo said seductively.

Bao'er's dark eyeballs lit up, and she nodded quickly.

"Does Bao'er want to sleep with Dad, or with Mother?"

At this moment, Bao'er's round face began to wrinkle, she wanted to sleep with mother, but what did mother say, she couldn't bend her tongue.

"If Bao'er doesn't say anything, then dad will leave you alone. You can sleep alone tonight."

When Bao'er heard this, she shook her head quickly, and the chubby hand held Wang Zimo tightly, with eager eyes, and hopped on her legs to express her protest.

"You have to tell whoever you want to sleep with, otherwise who will understand what you mean?" Wang Zimo was stern and refused to let go. She felt that Lin Zhilan was too fond of Bao'er and wanted to be ahead of the child in everything, so of course the child didn't need to speak. .

Bao'er's small face was completely wrinkled, not only was she protesting with "babbling" in her mouth, but her little arms were holding Wang Zimo tightly.Wang Zimo hardened his heart and pulled the koala girl down, and said seriously: "Bao'er, I'll ask you again, do you want to sleep with your father or your mother, you have to think carefully."

Caiyue watched from the side, she was really convinced by her own officials, and she cares about her children like this, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what is the lady looking for in her, it made the little lady's face turn red with anxiety, it was very distressing to see.

Just when Caiyue was about to step forward to rescue Bao'er, Bao'er suddenly said a word: "Wolf!"

Miracle, definitely a miracle, Caiyue was extremely excited, pity that she spends so much time teaching, she is not as good as Wang Zimo's threat.

"Sleep with wolves, then dad will go and catch a wolf for our Bao'er." Wang Zimo stopped Caiyue from cheering, and continued to teach him sternly.

"Ah!" Bao'er was so angry that she slapped Wang Zimo fiercely, but with her strength, it was almost considered a massage.

"Bao'er wants to sleep with mother?"

Bao'er nodded quickly, fearing that the shop would disappear after passing the village.

"Then Bao'er has to tell herself, otherwise mother won't know."

Caiyue was looking forward to it, and then heard "wolf", bad review!

"Mother." Wang Zimo was also very patient, teaching repeatedly.

"Wolf!" Bao'er was unmoved, but what she said was wrong, but Caiyue listened and found that Bao'er's words became more and more reliable.

After repeating it dozens of times, even the Buddha got angry. Wang Zimo let Bao'er sit on the bamboo couch by himself, got up and said, "When will I be able to make it clear, when will I be able to sleep with my mother."

Bao'er was anxious, her face was already like a red apple, she stood unsteadily, waving her small hands to express her anger, but Wang Zimo also turned her head, Bao'er saw that Wang Zimo had already walked to the door, and rushed forward anxiously .

"Mother! Mother!"

"Oh my little lady, be careful not to fall." Caiyue hugged Bao'er with sharp eyes and quick hands.

Wang Zimo was relieved after hearing this, and finally he was able to confess to Lin Zhilan.

"Bao'er is so good, come, give me a hug from Dad."

Wang Zimo stretched out his hand, but Bao'er was still angry, and the fat man kept shaking it, with his back turned to Wang Zimo.

Obviously, Wang Zimo was disgusted.

In the evening, after a family of three washes up, the two adults will surround Bao'er. The children of other people may have forgotten it long ago, but Bao'er is smart and remembers how Wang Zimo bullied her. Let Wang Zimo approach.

Lin Zhilan felt very puzzled, Bao'er usually likes to cling to Wang Zimo, what happened today?

"Lan'er, I found something fun for you."

"It's just you, you're so stupid, you're still looking for fun." The girl is like a mother, and Lin Zhilan is still mad at Prince Mo for not understanding the style.

"You look after it." Wang Zimo raised his eyebrows, took Bao'er's little hand and said, "Call me Daddy!"

Bao'er throws her hands away, so I don't want you.

"Wang Zimo, don't show off to me, or I will let you sleep in the study." Lin Zhilan hated this game the most. Every time she heard Bao'er calling her father, she felt sore.

"Huh~ Why isn't Bao'er a repeater today?" Lin Zhilan waited, only to find that her daughter rubbed against her vigorously, ignoring Wang Zimo at all.

"Lan'er, you have to thank me." Wang Zimo glanced at Lin Zhilan proudly, and said, "Bao'er, call me mother!"

Lin Zhilan lowered her head and saw that Bao'er was still as shy as usual, and her little hands were still twisted together. Lin Zhilan had given up hope anyway, and gently stroked Bao'er's back with her hands, sighing: "Forget it, this 'mother' I can't hear it."

"mother!"

With a "swish", Lin Zhilan looked at Bao'er in disbelief. The shy girl was still shy, but the voice was absolutely correct. Lin Zhilan was so shocked that she was dumbfounded. Wang Zimo said with a smile: "Bao'er, call again!" 'Mother', 'Mother' didn't hear it just now."

"mother!"

It's absolutely true, this time Lin Zhilan saw Bao'er calling herself, ouch, my mother's heart melted into water.

It broke my heart to give birth to her and raise her, isn't it just because of this "mother".The sturdy Lin Zhilan was moved to tears, she felt that the voice was like the sound of nature.

"I'm so happy that I still cry, Bao'er won't cry." Wang Zimo hugged Lin Zhilan into his arms and couldn't stop comforting him.

Lin Zhilan was so happy that she rewarded Wang Zimo with a big kiss. The previous mess was considered a write-off, but the little baby refused to let Wang Zimo get close to her life and death. This night, Wang Zimo still couldn't escape the fate of sleeping in the study.
