Chapter 497 Skipping class
The Double Ninth Festival is a very grand day in this era.
Due to the relief of the drought, the late rice and crops planted in various fields have been effectively irrigated, and each has a hope. Today's Luyan Port has become extremely lively.
Early in the morning, Liu Yun distributed the prepared dogwood to the people in the mansion, and told everyone to wear it.
Sang Qi personally sent the washed dogwood leaves to the bedroom, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao put them on, wiped their faces and rinsed their mouths before leaving the room together.
Looking at the radiant family members, Chu Nanzhi felt unspeakably happy.
Walking to the backyard, I heard that Erbao and Sanbao refused to leave the house. Liu Yun refused to listen to her persuasion, so she had to go to the attic of the East Wing by herself.
When I got upstairs, I saw Liu Yun wearing cornel for the little treasures, coaxing and coaxing: "Today you finish the class of the two grandpas well, and in the afternoon, grandma will take the four of you brothers and sisters to mother's class." Restaurant."
The Second Treasure and Three Treasures still refused to obey. Seeing the figure of mother, they all rushed forward excitedly, and begged pitifully: "Mother, we will go to Qinghefang with you and father today."
I heard that Uncle Sang Kun hired all the most famous pastry shops in the county to set up small stalls at the entrance of Jushengfang. The past two days have been very lively.
For a snack like Erbao, the temptation is the most difficult to resist.
Er Bao clings to Chu Nanzhi's thigh, pouted and said sullenly, "Aniang, I also want to go to Jushengfang to throw stones and eat cakes."
When this matter was mentioned, Liu Yun was extremely worried.
According to Chu Nanxiang and Chu Nanzhu, the cakes given to the children who threw stones in Jushengfang in the past two days alone cost hundreds of taels of silver every day.
And the silver rewards for those pastry shops are not a small expense.
In order to prepare for the opening of the Double Ninth Festival restaurant today, the daughter directly handed over one thousand taels of silver to Sang Kun a few days ago, and ordered him to buy chrysanthemum wine and Chongyang cakes for the people who watched the fun in the past.
She has never seen such burning money.
Looking at Chu Nanzhi anxiously, Liu Yun said worriedly: "Da Zhi, the expenditure these few days is not small, I heard from Sang Kun that you plan to spend so much money every day this month to support those pastry shops, If things go on like this, the expenditure of tens of thousands of taels of silver will be reduced in one month, isn't this a waste of money?"
"Mother, don't worry, I have my own reasons."
Chu Nanzhi said with a big grin.
"Oh, it's not for my mother's sake. You let those children throw some stones into the mud all day long. If they hit the small flags in the potholes, they will reward the pastries. The pastries in those pastry shops are not cheap. Let's do good things It can’t be such a method, how can exchanging silver for stones be a good deal.”
"What you throw in right now is stones, but it won't be long before you get back vain silver."
Chu Nanzhi laughed heartlessly.
She has already settled this account.
Steward Zhao led hundreds of craftsmen to clean up the filth in Jushengfang and it took four to five days. It would take at least one month to fill up a pothole as large as Chongrenfang. In addition, wages, pit filling materials, and miscellaneous expenses also cost hundreds of taels of silver.
As for inviting those famous pastry shops to Jushengfang, this is a strategy she has already laid out, but this kind of strategy of contemporary investors burning money to attract people, even if she tells Liu Yun in detail, I am afraid she will not understand it.
Everything will be decided after the dust settles.
Maybe many people are calling her an upstart and a fool right now.
Just thinking of this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't stop sneezing.
Grandma has a leg, someone is really scolding herself.
She pretended to look at Liu Yun with a calm smile, grabbed her lapel affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Oh, mother, you don't have to worry about these things, I swear, sooner or later I will double the money you spend. "
Liu Yun pouted and rolled her eyes angrily.
There is simply nothing you can do about her.
Isn’t this the upstart mentality?
Although the son-in-law is now promising, even though she has made a lot of money in the gambling house, it is inevitable that people will be regarded as a fool for throwing money like this.
Chu Nanzhi didn't want to ruin everyone's interest because of this matter, and she couldn't ignore the little treasures' requests.
Looking at the little treasures who were eager to see through her warm eyes, she said with a smile: "Today, mother will make the decision for you. You all go to Qinghefang to have fun for a day later, but you have to study hard tomorrow. , don’t think about anything else, if you like the cakes from those pastry shops in Jushengfang, mother will ask Uncle Sang Kun to bring you some back every day from now on.”
Hearing this, the little treasures cheered happily and went downstairs.
Liu Yun couldn't help but frowned: "Is this appropriate, Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie didn't send a letter saying that classes will be suspended today?"
"Cough, it doesn't matter. Recently, happy events have happened one after another. Let the little treasures rest for a day. I have a way to persuade them."
Thinking of the bewildered little boy last night, Chu Nanzhi felt a little angry.
She doesn't want little treasures to become nerds like their old man in the future.
Mr. Nie is easy to talk, Chang always has a staid temperament, if he doesn't speak up, even if there is a knife in the sky, he will definitely not stop the little treasures' schoolwork.
Looking happily at Sang Qi, Chu Nanzhi ordered seriously: "Sang Qi, today is the Double Ninth Festival, my two gentlemen's house must be very deserted, you personally send a carriage to pick up the two mistresses. Go to the restaurant and ask Sang Kun to reserve the largest wing, I will hold a banquet tonight."
Old Chang's only son died in battle, and Lao Nie's sons were all officials outside. Right now, he and Lin Jinxiao are the closest people around them.
The second elder treated the family so generously, and she also hoped to repay Lin Jinxiao for their kindness in nurturing and nurturing them over the years.
Obtaining the master's order, Sang Qi hastily left.
Liu Yun became hesitant again: "Your third uncle has just been buried, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to hold a banquet at this time."
"The play that should be performed, ah bah, isn't that already buried, and we don't have any friendship with her, so we shouldn't have to keep mourning for her for a year or so. That's about her own son."
Chu Nanzhi took Liu Yun and walked downstairs, while walking, he explained: "It's not a special banquet, it's just the opening of the restaurant, I invite the two mistresses to visit my restaurant together, and the elders are teaching the little treasures, Let’s just have a light meal together tonight.”
After she explained it like this, Liu Yun felt more at ease.
Arriving in the outer courtyard, I saw the four little treasures all shrunk their necks and lowered their heads. The old man in front of him was staring with eyes wide open, scolding them angrily:
"You little guys, who gave you the courage to skip class? In order to study tirelessly, the sages of ancient times, who forgot to sleep and eat, did not hesitate to hang their **** and study hard for ten years in exchange for some poor fame. You are lucky, and you dare to go out with a name Playful, and actually moved your mother out, she would be so unreasonable?"
Lin Jinxiao, who was standing silently not far away, saw Chu Nanzhi coming out, and sneaked into the room first.
Chu Nanzhi listened to Chang Lao's reprimand, her complexion froze slightly, she rushed forward and greeted warmly:
"Oh, teacher, it's all because the students didn't think well. The students thought that today is the Double Ninth Festival, and they don't want the elders to work so hard, so they thought of letting the little treasures suspend classes for a day so that the elders can rest."
As he spoke, he coquettishly coaxed and coaxed the second elder: "Yesterday, the fishermen in Haikang County sent two big horses. The students were still thinking about doing the knife themselves today, so that the second elder can go and have a good taste."
When Mr. Nie heard this, his solemn face immediately became overjoyed, and he asked full of expectation: "Really?"
