I wonder if the environment in ancient times was good or what?
Xia Shang slept very comfortably. It can be said that this was the most comfortable sleep in his life. Both his body and mind felt so comfortable that they were smoking.
He didn't want to open his eyes in a daze. He still vaguely remembered the soft and smooth bed with colorful clouds in his dream, but he didn't know who the woman who was making love with him in the dream was. He couldn't see her face clearly from beginning to end, which made people feel a little regretful.
While lingering in the gentle dream, his chest was pushed by something soft.
He opened his eyes blankly, and what came into view was a rosy and tender face, with a shy and charming look on the iconic eyebrows and eyes, a little sweat on the tip of his petite nose, and a hot lip covered with water stains, as if the morning dew dripped not far from the rose petals. Faint teeth marks could be seen.
From the pointed chin to the smooth neck, the extremely white and tender skin is more beautiful and softer than mutton-fat white jade. A faint fragrance comes from under the neck, and a smooth jade arm blocks the scenery below, stretching to Xia Shang's chest and gently blocking Xia Shang from approaching.
The first sight in the morning is that my wife is by my side, and the taste of human happiness enriches every cell in my body.
This is happiness, this is life!
Xia Shang really can't bear the tenderness in the morning, and wants to hug his wife for a while, but soon realizes that something is wrong!
"Wait... Huairou slept in clothes last night, where did the clothes go?"
"Madam, I..."
As soon as she spoke, Qin Huairou, who had woken up a long time ago, shrank into the quilt with a whimper, leaving behind a sentence "You liar" that makes people think about it.
Liar?
What did I lie to her about?
It seems that I said "I don't do anything" before going to bed last night?
But looking at the current situation...
I don't know where the lining of Nizi, who was sleeping with me, went, and my underwear was also missing. Thinking about the dream last night...
Although my pants were still there, they seemed a little wet.
This is nonsense. Did I do it last night?
If I did, I have no memory of it. Isn't it a loss? I can't forgive myself for not having any memory of such a beautiful wife after a night of wind and rain!
There was an awkward moment in the room, and the couple left the house one after another.
In the yard outside the house, Li Zhong, Xiaoyue, and Yazhi were cleaning the yard. The yard, which was originally a bit messy, became much cleaner after cleaning.
When Xiaoyue saw the lady, she ran over quickly: "Madam, why is your face so red? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Qin Huairou glanced at Xia Shang with a reproachful look, trying to act coldly: "Nothing. I'm a little hungry, give me a bowl of lotus seed soup."
"Okay!"
Xiaoyue responded crisply and turned to leave. But she remembered after walking a few steps: "Madam, we are not in the Qin Mansion now. There is no lotus seed soup at home, not to mention lotus seed soup, there is not even a lotus seed."
Li Zhong heard the voice and walked over: "Madam, there is no extra money in the mansion now, and lotus seeds are really unaffordable. The old servant cooked porridge, Madam, can you make do with it first?"
Qin Huairou sighed softly: "Oh, okay."
No one had eaten, so Xia Shang asked everyone to sit down together.
The three women sat together, but Li Zhong still regarded herself as a servant and refused to sit at the same table with the master no matter what.
Li Zhong is too pedantic. He uses his own money to support so many people, and he refuses to even eat with his tablemate.
The porridge was placed on the table, but it was just a little soup, not enough to fill the gaps between teeth. Even Xiaoyue looked disgusted and looked like she couldn't swallow it.
"Hey!" Li Zhong was a little embarrassed, "Master, from now on, I will use a carriage to pick up passengers in the county to Yangzhou City. I can earn fifty or sixty coins for a round trip. I can save enough to spend."
Xia Shang didn't expect that he would be so financially constrained. He didn't ask King Yong for more money before, and gave all the money to his father-in-law, and spent all the ten taels of silver he earned. Now he is really penniless.
Although he was a little embarrassed, he asked Qin Huairou: "Huairou, do you have any money on you?"
Qin Huairou shook his head: "To show my determination, I returned all the money given by my mother's family to my mother. Only..."
As he said, Qin Huairou took off a pair of exquisite earrings.
Xiaoyue shouted, "No! This is a gift from the old lady to Madam when she entered the Xia family."
"They are all external things, so I'll use them as an emergency first. As long as you... as long as my husband is down-to-earth, I believe that things will get better one day."
As she spoke, Qin Huairou glanced at Xia Shang, and her expectations were all written on her face.
"Okay, okay! Don't worry about it, leave the money to me, and make do with it for the next two days."
The display was in front of him, and making money was imminent.
Xia Shang was thinking while eating, where should he start.
Speaking of which, Xia Shang knew a lot, and it seemed that he could make a name for himself in all aspects.
It was precisely because he knew a lot that it was difficult to decide when he really had to do it.
Invent a soap and perfume?
It seems that the process is too complicated, and it also needs start-up capital support.
Open a restaurant?
I can't always be a chef, right? And it also needs start-up capital.
Designing clothes?
This doesn't require any starting capital, but which cloth shop is willing to hire me? Would the ancient people accept the things I designed?
Otherwise, just set up a stall to tell fortunes?
This is even more unreliable. Although you can tell fortunes for people, you can't tell fortunes every day. If you make a mistake, your life will be shortened. It's not worth it.
After thinking about it, even if you have a thousand plans in your mind, you can't do it without three taels of gold.
The lack of starting capital is still the most critical.
After dinner, Xia Shang still didn't have much idea, so he decided to go around Yulin County alone to see if there was anything he could get in the market.
When he went out, it suddenly started to drizzle, and it fell softly on his body like tiny white sugar.
Xiaoyue hurriedly brought Xia Shang a bamboo hat, and didn't forget to say "Master, take care."
This girl was pink and tender, with a little baby fat on her face, lively and cute, and you could tell at a glance that she was a beauty. When Xia Shang left, he couldn't help but pinch her face and whispered, "So cute."
Unexpectedly, the little girl was so frightened that she turned around and blushed to the root of her neck, because she remembered that the lady had mentioned in the sedan chair yesterday that she would be promised to the young master as a maid.
"No, no! The lady said that it's not so easy to be bought by the young master. Xiaoyue will not be fooled by such a slick and dishonest person!"
Thinking so, she hid in the house and dared not come out.
Just after Xia Shang left, a servant came to visit and presented a letter.
Since Xia Shang was not there, Qin Huairou should accept it.
The name card was very delicate, with a peony painted in gold thread. Inside, someone wrote in beautiful small seal script: "Sincerely accept your words, and talk and laugh to comfort this life. Tonight, I light the candles and look forward to your wonderful words - by the West Lake, Xian'er wrote."
"Xian'er?" Qin Huairou frowned slightly, "Whose foxy girl is this? Uncle Zhong, burn the name card."
