[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

Fu Li's feeling at that moment was really similar to being struck by lightning.

"I'm pregnant?" Fu Li's eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you sure the doctor is right? I've been having normal menstruation for the past two months."

Aunt Tian has rich experience and explained to her: "Some women do have menstruation in the early stages of pregnancy. But we were worried that the doctor would make a mistake, so we invited another doctor to take your pulse and confirm that you are indeed pregnant. "

After finishing speaking, she looked at Fu Li worriedly, "Miss Fu, you have been pregnant for more than two months. According to the time, you should have conceived after you arrived in Bazhou Prefecture. Your previous... no, it should be Is the father of the child in your stomach really gone?"

When she first came to live in this neighborhood earlier, Fu Li did lie a lot about her identity in order to live a better life, but that was all. Afterwards, she never deliberately concealed, or Deliberately leading others to guess wrong in order to confirm one's own identity.

Therefore, most of the people who are familiar with her know in their hearts that her previous life must be either rich or expensive, and it is not the same as her current life.Moreover, her identity is definitely different from the widow she casually said.

But even so, everyone never thought that Fu Li's former husband would be a native of Bazhou Prefecture.

Because of this, everyone looked worried at Fu Li.

Fu Li was shocked and didn't know how to speak.

Speaking of the timing of this child's pregnancy, it's a bit ironic

Calculating the time, this child should have been conceived on the day the original owner gave Lin Ruhai the medicine.This was the child that the Lin family could only wish for, but the child's mother lost her life because of him.I don't know that the original owner, Quanxia, ​​knows that she has actually got what she wanted that day, and I don't know what she thinks about this child.

Fu Li barely suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart because of the sudden child, and comforted them with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I went to Bazhou Prefecture with my husband. As for the child's father... I am If he was kicked out because of a mistake, everyone should just treat him as dead."

Is this not dead yet?

Duke Zhou and the others looked at each other, really not knowing what to say.

Sun Er's wife was a little confused: "Don't you need to tell the child's father about the existence of this child?"

Although she reconciled with Wu Cheng without hesitation, she still cared about her child in her heart.And when they lived together before, even if they were not good to themselves, Wu Cheng loved Da Lang to the utmost, so in her heart, she still felt that no matter what, the father of the child should know of his existence.

Fu Li hadn't collected his thoughts yet, but instinctively shook his head and rejected Second Aunt Sun's proposal: "I may not choose to give birth to this child yet."

Even if she is willing to give birth to this child, it is absolutely impossible for her to tell the Lin family the news eagerly.

tell them what to doWaiting for the mother to be honored by the child, and then being taken back by the Lin family to be Lin Ruhai's concubine, living a life of wealth but under the domination of others; drive away?

It's not that she didn't think about directly saying that the child's father was dead, anyway, she said so before, and there was no pressure at all.But now the few people in her room are people who really care about her and are trustworthy. She has lied a lot about her identity before, if she doesn't tell the truth this time, she always feels sorry for them sincere.

But after she said these words, the others were startled, and their eyes widened.

After a while, Second Sister-in-law Sun finally said, "Miss Fu, you don't intend to give birth to this child?"

At this time, the identity of the child's father and whether he is still alive or not have become less important. All of them were fully focused by Fu Li's words, and all other thoughts in their minds were squeezed into the corner. A little presence.

Fu Li frowned and thought for a while, with a hesitant expression: "This is a good idea, isn't it?"

Although she just said this subconsciously just now, after serious thinking, she feels that this is the most sensible and beneficial way for her: whether it is from her own perspective or considering her current life, Her best option is to abort the child.

But when she said this, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little empty in her heart, and her whole body seemed to be taken away

Fu Li had no intention of transmigrating into this world. Although he knew many people, he could also feel how out of place he was in this world.It's her own career, but she can't stand up for herself; she has many ideas that are correct, but she has to hide them carefully in order to integrate into this world; she's lived recklessly in her previous life, but she has to always pay attention to her words and deeds in this life...

Living alone in this strange world, she always felt like a rootless duckweed with no home to return to.

That's why after she understood her situation, she immediately started to work non-stop for the future. She could live a more comfortable life, but she couldn't stop being so busy, because she was afraid that if she stopped, she would not be able to bear the memory. Life in the previous life, and then have resistance to everything in the present, loss, sadness, loneliness...even despair.

But if this child is born, maybe it will be different. This will be her only relative in this world, connected by blood, and they can still depend on each other in the future.

"Let me think about it again." Fu Li frowned.

Zhou Gong and the others saw her entanglement and irritability, looked at each other and chose to leave.

After everyone left, Fu Li went directly to the space.

This space belongs to her alone. Without her permission, no one can enter the secret garden. Every time she feels irritable and hesitates, she always goes to the space to calm down.

Looking at the densely planted peppers and tomatoes in the space, which can hardly be seen at a glance, Fu Li's mood immediately improved a lot.

Because they were in a coma for too long before, these peppers and tomatoes are now ripe and ready to be harvested.

Fu Li was not surprised, and immediately got busy.

Until she saw several peppers the size of a baby's fist in a pile of peppers, Fu Li immediately became energetic.After picking it up and distinguishing it carefully, she tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth, then her eyes widened immediately: "It's not spicy, it's green pepper!"

But how could there be green peppers in her space?

Fu Li hurriedly took the peppers to the warehouse to search for them, only to find that there were not only green peppers in the pile of peppers, but also several colored peppers of different colors, as well as many varieties of peppers such as chaotian peppers and sharp peppers.

There are even a few varieties of chili peppers that Fu Li has never seen in modern times. The shape is a bit weird, and the taste is even more spicy.

She froze for a while, and then pulled out a text she had learned as a child from the depths of her memory.She has forgotten what the topic of the text is, but she can still remember some of the content

The text probably talks about a foreign old woman who only loves a certain variety of flowers, so she planted many in the yard, but one day she had a whim and wanted a white one.But there is no white variety of this kind of flower in the world, and she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

But she did not give up, but chose to cultivate by herself.

Fu Li remembered that the old lady’s method seemed to be to manually select the lighter-colored flowers among all the flowers and save them as seeds. After they were planted, they selected the lighter-colored ones, and then repeated this process. After many years, they finally got a white flower. flowers.

Although Fuli did not artificially save seeds, the growth cycle of plants in space is too short. Obviously, in just over two months, these peppers have repeated the growth process nearly a hundred times, which is almost 100 years under normal circumstances. things that might happen. 100 years is a long time, and it would not be surprising that the peppers had any mutations during that time.

As for why she didn't find out that space has such a function in her previous life, it should be because she never tried to save her own seeds after each harvest in order to ensure the taste of food. She always went directly to the market to buy seeds

In fact, the second-generation seeds left after many artificially bred plants mature after planting cannot guarantee that the taste of the plants grown from the first-generation seeds will be exactly the same.Therefore, many plants cannot save their own seeds and have to buy new seeds before planting.

After thinking about this, Fu Li couldn't help but turn his attention to the tomato: Since the pepper has mutated, wouldn't the tomato?

She walked over, and as expected, she found some variants in it.

Fu Li was very happy. With this function, she can completely intervene manually in the future, and then cultivate many unique modern food varieties.

"Baby, you are really my lucky star."

As soon as these words came out, Fu Li froze in place.

She felt that she was still hesitating, but her instinct seemed to know her final answer and gave her a hint.

Maybe, she should keep this child.

Fu Li lowered his head and looked at his belly, which only had a little extra fat and could not see the appearance of pregnancy at all. He made an irrational decision that he would never regret in the future.

She stroked her stomach with a smile, then turned her attention to the peppers and tomatoes

Since she chose to keep this child, she will naturally work harder to make money in the future.

Thinking of doing it, Fu Li immediately selected all the varieties of tomatoes and peppers, planted each variety in a separate field, and then planted all the pepper tomatoes that looked the same as before into the field.

Not only that, she also went to the warehouse and planted all the sweet potatoes and other plants that were originally used as animal feed into the ground. At the same time, she did not forget to pay attention to the plants in the ground and recorded the performance of each growth stage ...

Fu Li was busy in the space for a long time, until she heard the knock on the door of her room, she left the space immediately.

She tucked in the quilt and pretended to be sleeping all the time before she opened her mouth to let the person outside come in.

Aunt Tian pushed the door in with chicken soup: "Miss Fu, this is the chicken soup I made for you. After all, you are pregnant at the moment, so you should make up for it."

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Take it here."

As soon as the chicken soup was in the mouth, Fu Li tasted that the chicken soup should be carefully selected local old hens, after adding many ingredients, put it into a small pot, and put it in the fire to simmer for several hours.The slick oil on the chicken soup has been skimmed off, it doesn't taste greasy, and because of the addition of coriander, it also has a unique fragrance of coriander.

This chicken soup should have been simmered right after she was found out to be pregnant.

Fu Li blew on it, and waited until it was not so hot before slowly starting to drink.

Aunt Tian handed the chicken soup to Fu Li, then sat aside, watching her drink the soup hesitantly.

Fu Li quickly finished his drink, and then looked at Aunt Tian: "Aunt Tian, ​​if you have anything to say, just say it. You look at me like this, and you feel a little panicked."

Aunt Tian smiled embarrassedly, turned around and looked in the direction of Fu Li's door, and then said hesitantly, "Miss Fu, you really don't plan to have this child?"

It seemed that she was worried that Fu Li would be angry with her words, and her tone was cautious.

Fu Li didn't mind. Instead, he lowered his head and touched his stomach, smiling softly in his eyes: "No, I decided to keep this child."

Before Fu Li hardly thought about it, he said that it is not necessary to leave this

When they were children, the first reaction of Aunt Tian and others was that they couldn't bear it, because they had been parents and couldn't watch a little life disappear before their eyes.But when Fu Li decided to keep the child, Aunt Tian began to hesitate instead, a little worried for Fu Li.

"Miss Fu, have you ever thought about the consequences of keeping this child? Raising a child is not so easy. You are alone, and you don't have a man to make money outside, let alone your parents-in-law. You have to do everything yourself. Come on, all your energy in the future will be restrained by this child. And you are still young, and you deserve a better future. If you bring a child, it will be difficult to marry in the future..."

Since being bought by Fu Li, Aunt Tian's life has become better and better.

Not only did she have news of her long-lost husband and son, and hope for life, but Fu Li, the master, also gave her a lot of freedom. Many times, she couldn't even remember that she was still in the hands of other people. slave.But it is also because of this that she sincerely hopes that Fu Li's life will get better and better.

Aunt Tian has given birth to a child and knows the difficulty of raising a child.At that time, she had her in-laws and her husband to take care of her, and she lived in disgrace before the child grew up. Mrs. Fu is now alone.

The most worrying thing is the rumors from the outside world.

When Fu Li first appeared in this neighborhood, she was alone after all, and she always said that her husband was dead.Now that she is pregnant with a child, it is inevitable to make people guess.

"You are still very young. Although your facial features are darker, I have seen that your facial features are actually very delicate. I happen to have a prescription in my hand. As long as you take good care of it according to the prescription, it will not be long. Turn white, when people are beautiful, there will definitely be no shortage of people to come to propose marriage." Aunt Tian persuaded her earnestly, "In this world, it is better to have a man to protect you than you alone."

Fu Li laughed: "Ms. Tian, ​​you are thinking too much. Whether I have children or not, I don't plan to marry for the time being."

It's not that you don't want to marry, it's just that you can't marry for the sake of getting married, or you can marry with the idea of ​​finding someone to rely on.

If she gets married, she must marry someone she likes and also likes herself.

As for the kids...

Fu Li thought very clearly that what she was wearing was ancient times, a feudal era that valued women's chastity very much.Whether she has children or not, she is a woman with a "past" in the eyes of others: those who care about this, even if she has no children, will not want to be with her; those who don't mind this, even if she has children, It won't stop being with her because of this.

Old lady You, who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, can bring her two daughters to marry. It doesn't make sense to come to her, and she can't even find a person who doesn't mind "her" passing by, right?

Aunt Tian opened her mouth and asked her hesitantly, "Miss Fu, is it because you still miss the father of the child that you don't want to marry?"

Fu Li rolled his eyes on the spot: "What are you thinking? I don't have feelings for the father of the child, how could I not marry because of him. I just think that my life is pretty good now, and it doesn't matter if I have a man or not. I am in the way. And I am willing to give birth to the child, and it has nothing to do with the child's father. I just hope to have a relative who is connected with my blood. As for the pain of raising a child..."

"Isn't it because you are here?" Fu Li smiled and lay down in Aunt Tian's arms, "Could it be that when the child is born, you will be born with me?"

"How could this happen?" Aunt Tian looked serious, she almost swore, "I am a slave bought by Mrs. Fu, as long as Mrs. Fu keeps me at home for a day, you are my master, and of course I will help take care of you little Master."

Fu Li smiled and said, "Isn't this the end?"

Aunt Tian thought for a while, and then laughed: "I'm confused. Although Mrs. Fu's relatives are not around, we are not just for nothing. We can naturally help when we encounter problems."

And Mrs. Fu is rich. When the child is born, how can it be the same as when she raised the child?

But Fu Li had another worry: "Ms. Tian, ​​I heard that the sons of merchants are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination? So if I open a shop by myself but let others come forward, is it considered a merchant? If you don't change it later Is merchant household registration feasible? Although there is no way to determine whether the child in my womb is a boy or a girl, I always have to think about his future."

When parents love their children, it is a far-reaching plan.

It would be fine if she had a daughter in her womb, all the money she earns and the career she develops in the future will be left to her as a dowry, no matter what she thinks, she can live happily; but if it is a son, she will inevitably want him Give it a go in the imperial examination field.

As a scholar, farmer, businessman, she can't let her son look at people everywhere.

Aunt Tian looked at a loss: "Is there a rule in the imperial court that the sons of merchants are not allowed to take imperial examinations? Why don't I know?"

Fu Li was also dumbfounded: "No?"

"No!" Aunt Tian paused, then hesitated to speak, "No? Anyway, I've never heard of it before. Besides, my former master's family had a distant relative who did business, but the descendants of the family also went there. Studying and taking the imperial examination?"

Fu Li was stunned, did she remember wrongly?

But she remembered that when she was reading novels, many ancient novels had written regulations that "three generations of merchants are not allowed to take imperial examinations".

Seeing what Fu Li said so firmly, Mrs. Tian couldn't help but began to wonder if she remembered it wrong: "Miss Fu, don't worry, anyway, the child will not be born in six or seven months, as long as the child is born, we never If those scholars have figured out the answer, it's okay. But before that, it's better for Mrs. Fu not to transfer her household registration for the time being."

Fu Li understood that Aunt Tian was kind, so he naturally nodded.

"The doctor said that you fainted before because you were too busy a few days ago and didn't supplement your nutrition properly." Seeing that Fu Li had finished drinking the chicken soup, Aunt Tian said while cleaning up, "Now the store is on the right track. The business on weekdays has also been fixed. If you are a pregnant woman, you don’t need to go to the store to help. A few of us can be busy. I also know that Mrs. Fu has plans to open a branch store, but now that you are not feeling well, I’d better suppress this idea for now Next, let's talk after the baby is born, do you think it's okay?"

Fu Li nodded: "Since I have decided to keep the child, I naturally know that I must consider the child."

Aunt Tian packed up and was about to go out with the suitcase: "Madam Fu, as long as you know what's in your mind, then I'll go first. You can lie on the bed today and rest well to rejuvenate your mind."

Fu Li nodded, and Aunt Tian left.

Just when he reached the door, Fu Li suddenly remembered something, and quickly stopped Aunt Tian: "Aunt Tian, ​​please tell Duke Zhou about my pregnancy, and hope they can keep it a secret for me."

Aunt Tian turned her head back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Duke Zhou is cautious and has already sealed the doctor's mouth with money. The few of us also know that the identity of your child's father may be difficult to disclose, so we didn't say anything about it." , just say that you forgot to eat this morning and fainted from hunger."

Fu Li nodded with satisfaction: "That's good."

Aunt Tian smiled, feeling a little helpless: "Miss Fu, are you really not going to tell his father about the existence of this child?"

Fu Li raised his eyebrows, thinking that Mrs. Tian wanted to persuade her.

But Mrs. Tian said, "Miss Fu, don't get me wrong. I don't have to ask you to find the father of the child. It's just that you are still young and your belly is not visible. It is easy to hide the news of your pregnancy, but if you wait until your belly is big , the news of your pregnancy must not be concealed. Your child's father is a native of Bazhou Prefecture, so he will know that you are pregnant if he is different then? "

Fu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Aunt Tian, ​​they won't know."

At the latest half a month, the Lin family will be going to Beijing. At that time, her stomach has not yet stood up. As long as the few people who heard the news of her pregnancy did not tell the outside world, the Lin family will never know that she is pregnant.

Of course, to be on the safe side, it's better for her to stay indoors for the past half month and not go out.

Aunt Tian saw that Fu Li had a plan in mind, so she didn't ask any more questions, and went back to the kitchen directly.

Early the next morning, Duke Zhou and others came to visit.

Fu Li simply told them of his decision to keep the child, and at the same time expressed his thoughts.

Duke Zhou and his wife lived a long time and saw a lot, not only quickly accepted this fact, but also immediately began to plan for the future for Fu Li and the unborn child in his womb: "Since Mrs. Fu decided to keep this child, then Mrs. It's time to get ready, but you don't need to worry about this. After Qian Da knew you were pregnant, he was already looking out for a suitable candidate for you. When the fetus was seven or eight months old, he would send someone here. Wait until the child is born Finally, if you give birth to a daughter, we can also help you on weekdays, but other than that, it seems that we can't help you; if it's a son..."

Duke Zhou's eyelids drooped, and he smiled sadly, "The old man can read a few words, so he can help enlighten me a little bit. Madam Fu, don't think that the old man is meddlesome. This man was born in this world, no matter whether he is going to take the imperial examination or not, he should get to know him better." A few words are more appropriate, otherwise, even if you just go out to do business with people, you won’t even notice that you’ve been scammed.”

Fu Li knew that Zhou Gong could read and write, so he didn't think his words were strange, but his expression just now made her a little concerned.

But this is just Duke Zhou's privacy, if he doesn't want to talk about it, she should be sensible not to mention it.

So Fu Li pretended not to notice, and nodded gratefully: "I am worried that I will give birth to a son in the future, and my future will be delayed because of me."

Zhou Gong was stunned: "You delayed your future? Did you commit something and went to jail, or is there something wrong with the child's fatherhood?"

Fu Li blinked, not understanding why Duke Zhou would think so: "Although I was kicked out because of a mistake, I have never been in prison, let alone left a criminal record. There will be no problem with the identity of the child's father."

Lin Ruhai himself was born in the imperial examination, and he is still a prostitute. If there is a problem with his status, how could he be allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

"Then why do you say that?"

Fu Li expressed embarrassment: "Isn't that, I'm worried that doing business will affect my child's future imperial examinations."

Before Duke Zhou understood what she meant, Aunt Tian next to her asked, "Miss Fu is worried that if people find out that she is in business, her son will not be allowed to take the imperial examination in the future."

Duke Zhou was even more confused: "Where do these words come from?"

Fu Li looked at Aunt Tian, ​​and then at Duke Zhou: "I seem to have heard that three generations of businessmen are not allowed to take the imperial examination."

"Where is it?" Zhou Gong sneered, "When the imperial examination system first appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were indeed regulations such as not allowing the descendants of merchants to participate in the imperial examinations, but there were no such regulations in the middle of the Song Dynasty. It was through this that they gained a lot of discourse power, which made the imperial court open the door for the descendants of these merchants to participate in the imperial examination, and even promised them not to return to their original places to participate in the imperial examination. Although this dynasty does not pay as much attention to merchants as the previous dynasty, it has never stopped The descendants of merchants take the imperial examination."

As he said that, Zhou Gong had a sneer on his face. If you look carefully, you can still see a bit of hatred from his eyes, "You may not know that as long as you have money in this dynasty, you can buy an official without even taking the imperial examination." Dangdang. A group of people who are trying to catch fame, even if they become officials, they will only

It is a national thief and a ghost.I don't know what to say! "

You can buy officials with money, so what is the imperial examination?

Fu Li swallowed his saliva: "Buying an official?"

I heard that there is not much difference between the difficulty of the imperial examination and the difficulty of learning Buddhist scriptures. It is even more difficult to count the sufferings suffered before passing the imperial examination. She makes more money, and then directly buys an official for the child, right?

Duke Zhou didn't know what was going on in Fu Li's mind. After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too fierce, so he quickly eased his tone: "Don't worry too much, such people are rare after all. The fourth prince is indeed capable of doing practical things. Although his temper is a bit extreme and he can't touch the sand in his eyes, he is dedicated to serving the country and the people. Besides, the eighth prince is also quite wise. No matter who these two can... It's a good thing."

Possess Zhou was taken aback, and quickly tugged at his sleeves: "You old man has committed the old problem again? Didn't you say that scholars are not allowed to discuss affairs of the court? I think you are tired of work and want to go to prison again. up"

Duke Zhou's expression was dull: "I'm not a scholar!"

"It's fine if you're not a scholar?" Zhou Po was shocked and angry, "Did you forget that there are people..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Zhou Gong seemed to understand what she wanted to say, so he simply shut up.

Fu Li saw that the atmosphere was dull, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I seemed to see someone coming before I fainted. I don't know that after I fainted..."

Zhou Gong smiled: "Are you talking about Liu Yu and others? When they came to stop you, some local villagers saw it and went directly to Master Tongzhi who happened to be investigating the people's situation nearby. Master Tongzhi came quickly. Immediately, they were all thrown into prison. By the way, I forgot to tell you that our next magistrate brought two fellow magistrates to Bazhou Prefecture in advance, and he will take office in a few days. Now the magistrate I am taking two colleagues to visit around, and I am preparing for the post in the future."

Mentioning this magistrate, the smile on Duke Zhou's face was almost real.

Fu Li was a little curious: "You like this magistrate very much? Do you know him?"

Duke Zhou shook his head: "I'm just a flat-headed boss. Where did I meet a big man like the magistrate? But let's not talk about how the magistrate will behave in the future. Just because he remembers visiting various places under his administration before he took office, he is a Those who plan to do practical things in Bazhou Prefecture, as a commoner in Bazhou Prefecture, I am naturally happy."

"Did Master Lin not do well?"

"It's not bad," Duke Zhou hesitated, "Master Lin has also done a lot of good things for the Bazhou government, but maybe because he was born in a noble family, he is very smooth in doing things, and he also cares about personal connections, so sometimes Doing things is a bit roundabout, not so straightforward."

Suddenly, Fu Li remembered the story in the original book about Lin Ruhai taking money to make connections for Jia Yucun.

He really looks like an old fritter who is well versed in the rules of officialdom.

Knowing how to be an official himself, and having the status of being popular on both sides of the nobles and the Qingliu, Lin Ruhai can sit on the post of doctor of Lantai Temple in a few years and concurrently serve as the inspector of salt in Huaiyang, which is not so pleasant. People are surprised.

"The fellow-knowledgeable..."

It was only after the words escaped Fu Li that he realized what he had asked, and suddenly laughed, "Forget it, this matter is not important."

Zhou Gong didn't know what she wanted to ask, so he answered according to his own understanding: "The Tongzhi lord was probably worried that other people would make trouble on the way, so he took someone to escort you and Qian Da back before leaving. "

Speaking of this, Duke Zhou admired again, "I have never seen such a handsome person in my life."

Fu Li didn't pay attention to what he said, instead he was only thinking about him sending him back.

It's a pity, it would be nice if such a person met in modern times, even if we can't be together, it's good to be friends.

In less than half a month, when Zhou Gong and others came to visit, they talked about the previous magistrate moving his family back to Kyoto.

Fu Li was very relieved when he heard that, the Lin family is gone, not only can she not worry about her pregnancy being exposed, she can even remove the eyebrows on her face

There was no way to do it before, but now that she knows she is pregnant, she can no longer make up.

Even if the eyebrows are made of natural materials and are all handmade, it is not safe enough for Fu Li.

So the next day, Aunt Tian knocked on the door of Fu Li's room, and was shocked by Fu Li who came out to open the door: "You are... Mrs. Fu?"

Aunt Tian originally thought that Fu Li's facial features were very delicate, and it was only because her complexion was too dark that she didn't make people think she was beautiful. But she didn't know if it was because she was used to seeing Mrs. Fu's dark appearance before, and now Mrs. Fu washed her face off. When Mei Dai appeared in front of her, she felt a thrilling feeling of amazement.

I have to say that my appearance can satisfy people's vanity by making others lose their minds. Fu Li laughed on the spot: "Ms. Tian came back to her senses, I just turned white, don't you think you can't recognize me?" ?”

Aunt Tian swallowed her saliva, and said seriously: "Obviously it's just your skin color that has changed, but the difference in your appearance is too great."

Before it turned white, it was unremarkable. If it wasn't for its outstanding temperament, it wouldn't make people take a second look. After it turned white, it suddenly seemed as if it had been enlightened by a fairy, and it was so beautiful that it didn't look like a real person.

Fu Li smiled and shook his head: "You are too exaggerated." She not only painted her face black, but also specially used some makeup techniques to make her facial features ordinary, so there is nothing surprising about such a result.

As she spoke, she turned to welcome Aunt Tian into the house, "What did you do this morning? I don't know if it's because the little guy is greedy. I usually don't feel hungry at this time, but now I'm so hungry that my chest is on my back. I'm now I even think that even if you bring a cow now, I can eat it up."

Mrs. Tian was amused by Fu Li's words, and finally she was willing to look away from her face: "Before Mrs. Fu said this, she didn't even look at whether your own small body is as thick as a cow's thigh. You still want to eat it like this." The next cow? Don’t worry about being choked.”

The two chatted and laughed as they walked to the table.

Fu Li sat down first, and Aunt Tian immediately put the suitcase on the table, and began to put the breakfast on the table one by one.

"Small steamed buns, thin pork porridge with preserved eggs..." Fu Li took a deep breath and said contentedly, "This is too delicious."

With that said, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Aunt Tian looked at it and smiled, sat down opposite her and started eating too.

When Mrs. Fu was having meals before, she stood by the side and delivered soup to Mrs. Fu. Less than two times, Mrs. Fu asked her to sit beside her and eat together very uncomfortable. After so long, both of them have gotten used to it. Such a relationship.

The two of them each had a bowl of porridge, and quickly finished their breakfast.

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, he heard a knock on the courtyard door.

Aunt Tian got up immediately, but was stopped by Fu Li: "Clean up the dishes first, and I will open the door."

With that said, he simply walked to the yard.

After opening the door, Fu Li directly met the ecstatic smiling faces of Duke Zhou and Qian Da.Duke Zhou couldn't wait to speak: "Miss Fu, yesterday the Chamber of Commerce in Bazhou Prefecture sent someone to the noodle shop to hand over an invitation letter, saying that they want to invite us to join the Chamber of Commerce, and discuss the Cold Clothes Festival on the first day of October and the next year on the fifteenth day of October. festival matters."

People celebrate festivals, merchants make money, and the Cold Clothes Festival and the Xiayuan Festival are two very important festivals. Whether it is the Cold Clothes Festival offering cold clothes to ancestors, or the Xiayuan Festival worshiping ancestors, it is profitable. These businessmen want to take advantage of this It is normal to make a fortune.

Before Fu Li could answer, Qian Da followed suit: "The Chamber of Commerce also sent me an invitation letter, which is roughly similar to that of Duke Zhou's invitation letter, with only one difference."

Fu Li raised his eyes: "What?"

"The Chamber of Commerce hopes that we can provide a sufficient amount of chili peppers for use by various restaurants and restaurants during the festival." Qian Da looked very happy, but there was also a trace of worry, "I think this is a very good opportunity to make money. But it is not clear whether Mrs. Fu can produce enough chili peppers for various restaurants and restaurants."

Ordinary people are like this, busy all year round, only during the holidays can they relax or indulge for a day.During the holidays, as long as they have the conditions, ordinary people will be more willing to spend money than usual, and they are more willing to spend three meals a day in restaurants and restaurants where they usually hesitate to even enter the door.

Therefore, during the festival, the consumption of various ingredients and seasonings is also quite huge.

Fu Li didn't panic at all: "I can take out the peppers, but at this price..."

Qian Da looked complacent: "Miss Fu, don't worry, they all know my reputation as Qian Da, and they would never dare to lie to me."

Fu Li felt relieved.

Nodding her head, she laughed: "Look at me, I blocked you at the door just like that."

As she spoke, she turned sideways to let the two of them in, "Come in, let's go in and have a good talk about joining the chamber of commerce. I don't know anything about the twists and turns inside, and I need to ask the two of you carefully. Only then can we make up our minds.”

The two entered the door one after another, and Fu Li then closed the courtyard door.

After entering the room, Mrs. Tian immediately brought a pot of tea for the three of them, and then she stepped aside: "Miss Fu, let's talk first, I'll go to the noodle shop to help."

Fu Li nodded: "You go to work
