Xiangsheng prosperous

Chapter 7
The next day, the sky brightened.

"Aye, ma'am, did the mosquitoes disturb your sleep last night?" Qiu Shiming asked his parents when he greeted him in the morning.He obviously also saw the beauty of this incense, and when he saw the second elder early in the morning, he asked anxiously.

Mrs. Tian showed a rare good look in the past few days. She looked at her son and showed a loving smile: "I slept very well last night." As she spoke, she glanced at her husband in the blink of an eye.

Qiu Qianshen also nodded slightly: "This incense is really effective, your mother and I slept soundly and soundly all night."

Qiu Shiming thinks this is incredible, this incense is so miraculous, not to mention the Dongxi market, I am afraid that the entire Chang'an 108 Square has never seen it before.How did his third sister get such a fetish?
"I heard from Shuanghan yesterday that this incense was made by the third lady herself?" Lady Tian recalled.

"She actually has this kind of ability? This is quite surprising." Qiu Qian deeply stroked the beard on his chin, thinking thoughtfully.

"Aye..." Qiu Shiming looked at Qiu Qianshen.He naturally understood what his father was thinking, and he had been with his father for so many years, if he couldn't think of this, then he really didn't understand.

"Check it out."

"only!"

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

From the second day after the mosquito repellent incense was delivered to the third room, Qiu Mo noticed that outside the yard of the second room, there were always some unfamiliar servants and maids coming and going.Sometimes he came to ask for saliva, and took the opportunity to chat with Aye's servant; sometimes he came to Shuanghan to ask for embroidery patterns, and when he arrived, he was not in a hurry to leave, just grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and stood there Chatting with Shuanghan.

Qiu Mo knew that this must be the eyes and ears arranged by Sanfang secretly, but she still had to pretend not to care, she should read books and cook incense.She also ordered the servant and Shuanghan to keep quiet and pretend not to know.Unless they ask her what she does more on weekdays, she can just say whatever else she wants.

"Then lady, what if they just want to ask you what you do on weekdays?" Shuang Han was combing Qiu Mo's hair with her hands, but her mind was constantly thinking.

Qiu Mo thought for a while: "Then you just say, besides reading books and making incense, the lady doesn't see anything else she likes to do."

After about ten days like this, just as Shuanghan was eating melon seeds, the teeth of the melon seeds came out, and this kind of thing suddenly disappeared.

After staying for another two days, one afternoon, an expected person came to visit.

"Meet Father Zhong!" Qiu Shiming stepped forward and crossed his hands to Qiu Qianzhan.Qiu Qianzhan sat on the bamboo armchair in the main hall, showing an expression of surprise for the arrival of the second nephew.

"Father Zhong, this is the astragalus tea that I, Aye, asked me to bring to you. It nourishes qi and promotes body fluids. It is good to drink now. I came here this time to thank my third sister. The mosquito repellent incense presented by my sister is really useful. I Madam Aye is no longer disturbed by mosquitoes and flies at night, she has been sleeping soundly recently, and her complexion has improved a lot."

As Qiu Shiming said, he called the accompanying servant to bring up a brocade box.

Qiu Qianzhan nodded and signaled his servant to accept it: "This is just the child's wish. You go back and tell you Aye, so that he doesn't have to worry about it."

Qiu Shiming responded with a smile, and then continued: "The third sister's mosquito repellent incense is really good. Father Zhong, look, since our Shanchuntang was founded, we have always upheld the principle of the benevolence of doctors. Since we have Such a good fragrant medicine, surely you can’t just keep it for your own use at home!”

Qiu Qianzhan raised his eyebrows, but did not answer, waiting for Qiu Shiming to continue.

"Father Zhong, if the mosquito repellent incense is allowed to enter the counter of Shanchuntang, won't all the people in Chang'an benefit from it? Are you right?" Qiu Shiming paused at this point, observing Qiu Qianzhan's expression.

Qiu Qianzhan took a sip of tea and thought to himself: "My daughter-in-law is really good at predicting things." Qiu Mo had already expected that the people from the third room would come to ask for help, so she made an agreement with Aye in advance to let him delay. They dragged on.

"This is indeed a good thing. It's just..." Qiu Qianzhan frowned, hesitant to speak.

Qiu Shiming immediately interjected: "Father Zhong, if you have any ideas, you might as well tell your nephew directly." He patted his chest and assured him, "Although I, Aye, is still in charge of the matter of Shanchun Hall, as long as Father Zhong brings it up, I have nothing to do with it." Don't try your best to mediate!"

He thought to himself that the second child of the Qiu family just wanted some interest for some mosquito repellent incense.He and Aye have discussed this matter long ago, no matter how much he wants, and promise him, the father and son will have the final say on the books.

What he didn't expect was that Qiu Qianzhan didn't reply him immediately, but only said that he would discuss it with Qiu Mo, and then reply after thinking about it.When Qiu Shiming heard the words, he knew that there would be no result today.He got up and saluted, said goodbye and went home.

After waiting in their own room for another two days, the father and son of the third room of the Qiu family couldn't sit still again.As long as the fragrance of the mosquito repellent incense wafts, they feel as if they have been bitten by mosquitoes and flies, itching and wanting to scratch.

Just when they finally couldn't sit still and were about to go to the second room to look for Qiu Qianzhan again, the servant outside the door reported: "Master, the second master brought the third young lady to visit!"

"Please! Please! Meixin, Sencha!"

All the servants stepped back after hearing the words, and went to prepare their own affairs.Qiu Qianshen sat back on the carved mahogany chair in the main hall, straightened his clothes, and then pretended to pick up the teacup, as if he could finally sit down and rest for a while after he was busy.And Qiu Shiming stood beside him, looking respectful.

After a while, the footsteps of Qiu Qianzhan's father and daughter approached.As soon as their figures appeared within the field of vision of the people in the third room, Qiu Qianshen immediately stood up and enthusiastically went forward to greet them.

"Second brother, why are you free to come to me today? Come on, serve tea!" Qiu Qianshen asked knowingly, but there was indeed a hint of joy revealed.

"Our brothers haven't seen each other for a long time," Qiu Qianzhan said: "I heard from the servant girl today that you came back early, and there must be an answer to the things that Chan came to my courtyard two days ago to talk about. Today I will take my little girl Came to bother."

"Come on, let's sit down and chat." Qiu Qianshen led his second brother into the main hall, and placed him in the guest and guest position on the left.As soon as Qiu Qianzhan sat down, the maid beside him immediately brought a cup of sencha graciously and placed it by his hand.

Qiu Mo wished her uncle and second brother a blessing, then silently followed and stood beside her Aye.He lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, as if he would listen to Aye.

The two Qiu parents exchanged pleasantries for a while, and finally got to the point.

"About this mosquito repellent incense, in fact, my daughter was able to develop this incense because of the blessing of her ancestors, and she got it by luck. This should be dedicated to the family without hesitation. But I came here today because of other things..." Qiu Qianzhan He hesitated to speak, as if he had encountered something embarrassing.

"You might as well just say it straight!" The father and son of the third family of the Qiu family turned green when they heard the words "dedicated to the family", and hurriedly asked.

"Well, I am useless in my life. I have ambitions but nothing to do. In the past, I was lucky to have a good wife who managed the family and managed to save some money. Now the wife is gone, and I only rely on the monthly silver from the public. Poor The little girl lost her mother at a young age, and is still unmarried. But I can't even save a little bit of money for my daughter's dowry..." Although this is a well-designed rhetoric by Qiu Qianzhan and Qiu Mo, it is also an expression of his true feelings.After saying this, Qiu Qianzhan fell into deep sadness.

Qiu Mo felt reluctant, she stepped forward and put her arms around Aye's shoulders.It is such a deep pain for a man to admit that he is useless.She regretted it a little, regretted letting Aye uncover the hidden pain in her body.

This scene is not completely indifferent to the father and son of the third bedroom of the Qiu family.But after all, he has been operating in a medical center for several years. Although he is not a merchant, he has somewhat cultivated some of the hard-heartedness of a merchant.It was only a moment to be moved, and the Sanfang father and son valued profit more. Hearing Qiu Qianzhan's words, they naturally understood that he meant profit.

"Second brother! Don't worry about this. From now on, as long as the mosquito repellent incense makes a profit in Shanchuntang, the second room will get half of the interest. What do you think?" Qiu Qianshen spit out the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"No, no! How dare you do this?!" Unexpectedly, Qiu Qianzhan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Then... what do you mean?"

"When it comes to the dowry, I think of the marriage that my younger siblings talked about for my little daughter. It's a good thing to get closer to the Tian family, not to mention that my younger siblings prepared a dowry of [-] taels for my little girl, which was carried to the door of my second room. But it really makes me feel ashamed. The little girl is filial and cannot get married within three years. I really dare not delay the Tian family's Alang. I also asked my servant to bring the hundred taels of silver back today. I hope the third brother will accept it." After that, he waved his hand to ask the servant standing outside the door to carry a box into the main hall, then he stood up again and bowed to Qiu Qianshen.

Qiu Qianshen hurriedly stepped forward to hold his second brother's hand, and sent him back to the armchair to sit down, but his eyes started to gurgle.

"I'm a stupid woman! How could I mention the matter of getting married to my second brother and Mo'er at this moment. I simply don't know the etiquette!" Qiu Qianshen's mind was very fast, and after a little thought, he understood what the result would be. is the best.

Just based on this mosquito repellent incense, he knew that Qiu Mo must have the talent to make incense prescriptions and medicines.

The second room is weak, so it's easy to handle, as long as Qiu Mo stays at Qiu's house, comforts her well, and feeds her like this with petty profits, more incense recipes will be made in the future.

But if Qiu Mo married someone, then it has nothing to do with the Qiu family.Whether she made new incense or stopped making incense in the future, he would not get any benefit from it.

"Second brother, I'm in charge of this matter. It doesn't matter if the Tian family's marriage is not wanted. As for the hundred taels that my stupid woman gave Mo'er, the second brother will keep it and don't have to bring it back!" Qiu Qianshen made a final decision. Once you see the situation clearly, you will be very refreshed.

If it weren't for the status of this official family, Qiu Qianshen would indeed be a business genius.He deeply understands that Qiu Mo's real value is far more than a hundred taels of money and an in-law of the Tian family.

"I'm really ashamed..."

Qiu Qianshen: "Don't worry, second brother! After all, I am the one who decides the third room."

Qiu Mo, who was standing behind Qiu Qianzhan, only slightly hooked the corners of her mouth until then.The smile was fleeting, and everyone in the third room of the Qiu family didn't notice it.
