C167

Since the beginning of spring, business at Flowerwood has been blocked.

Not only that, Su Zhi was even involved in a lawsuit.

Taking advantage of the good days, she specially prepared a brazier, saying that it could avoid danger and turn disaster into blessings, which could flourish like flames.

The morning mist had yet to disperse, and the sun was rising in the east. It was yet another good day.

Bi Yue looked at the fire in the brazier and added firewood.

"Mom Ding, what do you think?"

At the moment, General Fu's portrait was pasted on the front gate. She looked around the courtyard and nodded. "That's all. I'll go call Madam over."

Su Zhi was feeding the small bean bag to Su Yun. The child was being naughty, struggling to get down to the ground from time to time as he chased the little mutt around the house.

Mrs Ding smiled and shook her head. "Miss Lan is too noisy. Let Bi Yue come. Madam will build a brazier to avoid any disasters."

"That's fine too, this child is spoiled, he's so old that he can't eat properly."

Bi Yue came in and took the small bowl from her hand, teasing the small bean bag.

Su Zhi followed her mother out. Looking at the brazier in the yard, she laughed out loud. "Thanks for your trouble, mother Ding. You even prepared these for this early in the morning."

"The brazier was invited back from the temple, and this branch was also cut down from the temple. Madam, try it, it will definitely be able to drive out the bane."

There was no basis for any of this.

Su Zhi had never believed in it, but she did have good intentions in her heart, so she could not give face.

The firewood in the brazier was burning vigorously, and the red and green flames soared high into the air. Mother Ding put her hands together and muttered, "Bodhisattva bless my wife. It's a great fortune for you to eliminate evil and bring good fortune to yourself."

Su Zhi stared at the brazier, lost in thought for a moment. When she finished reciting, she gestured, "Madam, you can step over."

She nodded, lifted her skirt, and strode over.

"Aiya!"

When she turned around, Su Zhi found that the place where her skirt hung had been set on fire.

"Quick, quick, quick, bring the water! Madam, don't move! "

When Bi Yue heard the cry, she hurriedly went to the courtyard to get a bucket of cold water to pour over Su Zhi's skirt.

"What do you mean fine? You even burned your clothes."

Mother Ding was so frightened that her face turned pale. She sprinkled dirt on the brazier and extinguished it. She then stepped forward to check on Su Zhi's condition.

"Is Madame alright?"

Su Zhi shook her head. "I'm fine. It's alright. If I get stuck in the fire, I might be able to turn red from the heat of the fire."

Even though he said that, it was still a bit unlucky to be able to cross the brazier and burn his clothes.

His mother had been living at the Xiao family's residence for most of her life, so she rarely touched these things.

"My bad, my bad. I shouldn't have let Madam do all these in the morning."

Su Zhi comforted her, "It's alright. It's also a good intention of mother Ding."

Because of the incident with the bonfire, she felt very guilty. Worried that she would bring Su Zhi trouble, she went to the kitchen to prepare food.

"It's getting late, A Jin and the others have already left for the academy, so I should also go to the store."

Bi Yue pulled the bean bag and said, "Madam, the general will be coming for dinner tonight. Please come back early."

After Xiao Qian had been busy dealing with the traitors, the two of them rarely met. Their free time was even less.

Although Su Zhi did not say anything that she missed, she had been thinking about it in her heart.

"I know, I'll be back early."

Because his business was in the way, there wasn't much work to do in the past few days.

Since she was free, she would just take a break. Su Zhi had more time to develop her new product, and a series of troubles came knocking on her door. It had been a long time since she had produced her new product.

Compared to Su Zhi's calmness, Li Yi appeared to be more anxious, and the number of customers in the shop was reduced by half.

After some thought, he decided to try the method of opening Flowery Tower and send out some leaflets.

However, Qiu Hong had already said that the flyers were only there to advertise the opening of the store. Many people in the city already knew about the shop, and distributing the flyers again wouldn't work.

When he recalled the discount mentioned previously, Li Yi still felt sorry for the silver and was reluctant to do so.

"Sigh, the business in this shop is getting worse with each passing day."

Shuang'er, who was inspecting the goods, immediately retorted, "Pei pei, whatever you say, the business will get better." "Who do you think our boss is? He won't let our business end in vain. Instead, it is Li Jun who is in charge of you, saying such depressing things all day long."

Li Yi stood up and walked out of the gate. He wanted to try and recruit some guests, but he was unable to do so due to the lack of face, and he walked up and down the stairs with a face flushed red to the ears from anxiousness.

"Yo, Elementary Scholar sour. Is it because I can't recite any of the Four Books and Five Classics, or is it because I'm having trouble reading the Book of Virtue?"

Yu Zhanhong crossed his arms and smiled disdainfully, "You look completely stupid."

Li Yi was furious to begin with, and after being provoked by Duan Ling Tian in this way, he angrily rolled up his sleeve and was about to move forward.

"You with the surname Yu, don't look for trouble!" "Be careful, laozi will beat you until you cry for your mother again!"

Yu Zhanhong had always disliked Flowerwood. He had been threatened by Xiao Qian before and always feared the power behind him. Thinking of Xiao Qian's seemingly impartial face, he couldn't help but tremble.

However, it was clear that there were people looking for trouble these few times. This also meant that the other side's nest was not invincible. The higher they went, the deeper their background became.

Since someone had already bullied him, why would he be afraid of being filled with flowers?

"What!?" If you still want to hit someone, then eat enough! "

Li Yi's smile was not a smile as he coldly snorted, "I can't say that I hit someone else. I can't even go through the dungeon's door after hitting you so hard. If you don't believe me, we can give it a try!"

"You!"

Yu Zhanhong didn't look too good for the poor Elementary Scholar he despised. He was still worried that Xiao Qian would bring him to the Yu Family to look for trouble.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Yu. Just do your job well. Don't talk like a long-tongued woman all day!"

Yu Zhanhong was full of anger, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

It wasn't because he was afraid of Li Yi, but because he was afraid of Xiao Qian's power.

Although he had a blood uncle who was in the county, his official rank was too small for him to handle, and he might even lose his black muslin hat.

"You just have to wait and see. This year's Imperial Examinations will be your time to cry!"

The meaning of his words was that he wanted to give Li Yi a blow. He would be busy all day in the shop, and it wouldn't be easy for him to hit the jackpot if he didn't prepare his homework.

Although outsiders did not know this, Su Zhi knew very well that Li Yi would read books very late every night, and would wake up before dawn.

"There's no need for you to worry. I'm not your father, and I'm even considering the important matter of my life. It must have been tough for you!"

Yu Zhanhong stomped his feet and was about to charge forward, but Yuan Ming, who had been observing him for a long time, quickly ran out and stopped him, "We can't do anything about it. If you go, we will be at a disadvantage! "I will calculate how much silver I will lose …"

"Go away!"

He broke free from the shackles and glared fiercely at Li Yi. He turned around angrily and went upstairs.

Yuan Ming followed up with his abacus, saying in surprise, "You're in charge. You just lost in scolding us!" This is the first time in history that Elementary Scholar is becoming more and more powerful! "

Yu Zhanhong turned around and kicked him, "Why are you being so talkative, get back to work!"

Li Yi clapped his hands and returned to the shop. Shuang'er went up to him and gave him a thumbs up. "Manager Li, you're amazing. This is the first time I've seen you act so tyrannically!"

"Alright, alright. Stop talking. Think of a way to get the business going. If this goes on, you'll lose your monthly salary."

Shuang'er held her tongue and took the feather duster to sweep the shelves.

Su Zhi did not know about the small episode downstairs. At this moment, she was focusing on studying the skin care products for the new season. In two months the sunscreen will be useful.

There was a lady out for a summer vacation, so this was a must.

"Boss!"

As he was pondering, Qiu Hong knocked on the door.
