"I just don't like it. I don't want my mother to marry Uncle Liu. Ah Jin will grow up quickly and earn enough money to support you and his sister."
Su Zhi shook her head helplessly. "A Jin, you're still young. Maybe you don't understand the definition of marriage. Mother will consider finding an uncle, but it's not for Mother's sake, do you understand? "
The child looked at her blankly and shook his head. "A Jin doesn't understand. I don't like Uncle Liu. I don't want him to be my father."
Su Zhi was silent for a moment. After sighing, she did not say anything else. After dressing the Soybean Bag, she took the two of them to eat breakfast.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Aunt Bai was worried that Su Zhi had left early, and had knocked on the door again when half the food had been used.
"Xiaosu, are you up yet?"
"Hey, Aunt Bai, you're up early."
Su Zhi put down her chopsticks and went to open the door. She saw Aunt Bai standing there with a smile on her face, holding a bronze embroidered box in her hand.
"Aunt, this is?"
"I entrusted the Liu family's child to you before he left."
Originally, Liu Yuan didn't intend to give this gift to her, but last night, Aunt Bai didn't bring back an answer that would reassure him. He was worried that Su Zhi would not marry him and would leave behind the jade pendant he carried with him.
Su Zhi understood what this big gift meant and waved her hands, unwilling to accept it. "This thing is too valuable, I can't take it."
Aunt Bai took out Lan Tian Yu from the box and sighed. "The quality of this thing is indeed good. It can be seen that the child has truly fallen for you. I hope we can get a good result."
Even though he said that, he still wanted to ask A Jin about it. Children don't like Liu Yuan to be their stepfather. If the child disagrees, then how will they get along in the future?
"Aunt, I'll tell you the truth. "The children don't want me to get married again at this time. I thought about it and realized that the children are still young. It will be too late to find them after a few more years."
Aunt Bai was very surprised when she heard this. In her opinion, Liu Yuan was undoubtedly the best marriage partner. No matter how she looked at it, he was the right one.
"Xiaosu, you're saying that the child is so young, how do you know all this? Furthermore, it is human nature for children to not like outsiders. After getting to know each other more, they will naturally acknowledge this father. "
Su Zhi lowered her head, looking troubled.
She hoped the child would have a happy childhood and not be depressed about reorganizing her family.
At the moment, she had the ability to support two children, and as for men, it didn't matter if they did or not for the time being.
"Aunt, I really don't know what to say. For my matter, you and Uncle Liu have put in a lot of effort. It's my fault that I spared your good intentions. "
Aunt Bai looked at the expensive Lan Tian Yu in her hand and put it away. She could not understand why Su Zhi had refused Liu Yuan.
"Xiaosu, do you think that Liu family member is a farmer?"
Su Zhi quickly waved her hand. "How could that be? Big Brother Liu is tall and handsome with an extraordinary temperament." "If you didn't say it, I would have thought it was some small official."
"Then you really only rejected him because the child didn't like you?"
Su Zhi was slightly startled, and then she heard Xiao Qian's threat, "You're not allowed to marry him!"
She trembled uncontrollably and hurriedly shook her head, "There's no other reason. It's really because of the child. Let's wait for a few years before we make any plans."
Aunt Bai frowned, her expression becoming more serious, "You have to know, although Liu Yuan is not a government official, but that child's potential is very good. If you miss out on it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Su Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.
How could she not know that Liu Yuan would be a good husband? But she didn't like children, she didn't want them to get upset, and besides, she didn't really like them much herself.
Although relationships needed to be developed, she wasn't in the mood to care about personal feelings right now.
It definitely wasn't because of Xiao Qian's order. It definitely wasn't!
Su Zhi tried to convince herself that she didn't get along with Liu Yuan for her own reasons, and not because of Xiao Qian's interference.
Aunt Bai left in disappointment. Although it was a pity that they had such a good marriage, it wasn't good to force the girl to nod her head. If she didn't want to, then so be it.
Not long after sending Aunt Bai off, Su Zhi drove off to the market place.
The modification of the third floor had already been completed. The corridor had already been covered by a gauze curtain. The people in the hall and on the first and second floors couldn't see what was going on on on the third floor.
This way, the noble ladies and young ladies who came to visit did not have to worry about being seen in public.
Not long after the third floor had been renovated and opened, Su Zhi once again welcomed her regular customer, Madam Huo.
Unlike a few days ago, Madam Huo, who had come again, looked much better. There was even a faint shyness on her face.
"Madam, are you alright?"
Madam Huo smiled faintly and dismissed the servants who had followed her. "I've indeed slept a lot better after using your products."
It wasn't just sleep, it was also a little more fun to be married.
For the past two days, the duke had remained in her courtyard, the harmonious relationship between husband and wife that they hadn't seen in a long time.
"In that case, congratulations Madam."
Madam Huo smiled and said, "You shouldn't sell this rouge and cosmetic powder. It would be great if you could be a doctor looking after patients."
Su Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That won't do. I know how to do things. It won't work if you put on an act."
In fact, this kind of woman who was raised to be a prince was not seriously ill. At most, she lacked exercise and had a delicate body. Walk as much as you can, and sleep as well as have a good appetite.
"That day, I heard you say that what type of essential oil would be better for massage?"
"That's right, the main thing is to help you move your meridians. If you sit down for too long, it's easy for your body to have problems. Your shoulders and neck become stiff, you will develop cervical spondylosis or something."
Madam Huo hesitated for a while before finally letting go of her ill feelings. She was willing to let Su Zhi give her a massage.
The massage bed had been specially made by Su by a craftsman. After staying at the beauty salon for a long time, it had finally become useful.
Su Zhi treasured her hard-won guest very much and used every means at her disposal.
The places that were painful before, especially when Su Zhi pressed a few acupuncture points, made Madam Huo almost cry out in pain.
But after dressing up, she felt her body relax a lot.
Taking advantage of Su Zhi cleaning up, Madam Huo stood up and looked at the perfume and blubber placed on the wooden table. Seeing that there were a few new items beside her, she became interested for a moment.
"What is this?"
Su Zhi put away the blanket, turned around and looked, "It's eyebrow pencil, a different color, suitable for a different group of people."
Madam Huo took the items and tested them. She nodded in satisfaction. "I think they are more useful than charcoal. There are also many colors, so they can't be very single."
"Madam can also take a look at rouge. I've just developed it, and it has pearl powder added in it. It can not only look good, but it can also calm down the flames. There are a lot of color numbers as well, if you like it."
Mrs. Huo took two boxes, selected a few different sizes of lipstick, and bought them together.
Su Zhi was very happy. If customers like them appeared every day in a beauty salon, then the sales definitely wouldn't be a problem.
"Oh yeah, you still have that perfume from last time right? "At any time, I might come back one day to pick it up."
"Madam Huo is an esteemed guest. She will prepare anything that you want in advance."
Su Zhi understood that Madam Huo definitely wouldn't tell her concubine about the change out of selfishness because she had bought Su Zhi's things.
However, there were always two or three close friends in a woman's room. She had to wait for a while, and after a while, there would be other guests.
It was almost noon when Madam Huo was sent off. The business of the Hundred Flavors Clear Enviantment was getting better and better.
According to the rules of the past few days, most of the customers who had gone to the restaurant across the street would come over to drink tea or play chess or listen to music or watch a show.
Sure enough, not long after, the customers who had just finished their meal started to come over.
Su Zhi temporarily let go of the matter on the third floor and followed him to take over the business on the second floor.
When Li Yi saw her come down the stairs, he immediately went up to report on the general situation of the day. "Little Su, the effect of your second floor isn't small. You've invited all of the best acting teams in the entire Xuan City." Yesterday's secret history of Tang Minghuang and the Imperial Consort had a pretty good reaction. Today, the teahouse at the inn was full of storylines that brought up this grand play. "
Su Zhi blinked and smiled slyly. She was not the least bit surprised by this result. She had hidden quite a number of famous Chinese and foreign words in her mind.
Think of a way to improve the stage effect, blow the gimmick out, business will certainly be better.
Flowerwood's business had improved, and many of Xuan City's guest houses had not expected it to.
Amongst them, the one in charge of the Hundred Flavors Clear Joyous was the one with the most dissatisfaction.
Every time he saw a customer who had already eaten in a hotel go to the other side, Yu Zhanhong would be filled with anger.
How could a bookworm who didn't know anything bring the business back to life?
He had asked about 'Flower Mansion' many times and knew about Su Zhi's existence. He regretted not being able to keep this important person with him last time. Even if he could not be of use, he could at least not help Li Xiucai expand his shop.
The more he thought about it, the more infuriated he became. This woman was so shrewd that she had actually snuck in to see Elementary Scholar Li's store.
"Someone, come!"
The servant who was waiting outside immediately pushed open the door and entered, "Young master, what can I do for you?
