“Alright, you go quickly!”
Su Qing nodded. She was delighted with the enthusiasm of these two girls. Who said that women were inferior to men? She wanted to cultivate the girls’ confidence and let them manage those men.
Li Shuang ‘er replied and ran home while clutching her stomach. The toilets in the winery were all used by men. She and Yu Yan ran home if they wanted to use the toilet. It wasn’t far anyway.
Su Qing entered the winery and saw Li Daniu bringing people to brew wine. Pulling coal had been handed over to the other men in the Peach Blossom Cove. The Li siblings were all in the winery.
Li Daniu was not ambitious. He only liked looking after his family and earning money to support them. The winery was quite suitable for him. Su Qing gave him and Li Shuang’er 10% of the shares. As long as they worked hard, they could earn more in a year than in half their lives in the Peach Blossom Cove.
It was impossible for the male workers in the winery not to have someone to control them. Li Daniu glared at them, and these people were afraid. He did not spare any effort in his work and followed them to make wine. Nothing could stop him. Those craftsmen did not dare to stop.
Su Qing did not teach him the art of bartending because Li Daniu could not do fine work. He was too rough and could only manage the craftsmen.
Li Shuang ‘er was a cheerful person; she was a quick learner and also cautious. She was unlike Luan Hong, who was not wary of others and had Qiu Yongkang watch her entire process.
Jiang Yuyan had just finished brewing the wine. It was too hot in the winery, and she was sweating profusely. Women couldn’t bare their upper body like men, so they had to wear clothes no matter how hot it was. She could only wipe her sweat with a handkerchief as she worked. When she saw Su Qing, she called out happily,
“Sister Su Qing.”
“How much did you brew today?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Qing smiled at Jiang Yuyan and asked casually.
“I brewed about thirty jars of wine today.”
Jiang Yuyan calculated and told Su Qing the lot. Su Qing nodded in satisfaction.
“When are you going to the Northern Barbarians?”
It was almost the New Year, and the Jiang family had to go to the Northern Barbarians to meet up with Seventh Master Jiang. At that time, Jiang Yuyan would have to follow them.
“I… I’ll go on New Year’s Day!”
Jiang Yuyan kicked the ground with the tip of her foot and said to Su Qing in embarrassment.
She and Zhong Yong had a romantic relationship and couldn’t bear to part even for a day. Zhong Yong wouldn’t go to the Northern Barbarians before the New Year. He had to stay in Mo City and sweep his mother’s grave. After he was done, he would rush to Luo City to support Xiao Zeyu. In the future, the two of them wouldn’t be able to see each other again, so Jiang Yuyan couldn’t bear to part with him.
“Alright, I’ll send someone to take you there during the New Year.”
Su Qing understood Jiang Yuyan’s thoughts. Just like how she was initially a heartless person, she had also learned how it felt to be worried after falling in love with Shuisheng.
After they married, she woke up in Shuisheng’s arms daily. When he left, half of the bed was empty. Su Qing could not sleep well and woke up several times a night.
“Thank you, Sister Su Qing. I’ll brew more wine before the new year. I guarantee that I won’t miss any orders.”
Jiang Yuyan thanked Su Qing. She could only repay Sister Su Qing for saving her life by working harder.
“Very good.”
Su Qing was satisfied with Jiang Yuyan’s work attitude. She was the smartest and most capable among the girls, and she was her right-hand person. She really couldn’t bear to let her go to the Northern Barbarians.
“Sister Su Qing, my mother invited you to our house for dinner.”
Li Shuang’er returned from the toilet at home and called out to Su Qing as soon as she entered the house. Last time, Aunt Li wanted to treat them to a meal, but she didn’t manage to. She had been thinking about it all this time. The mutton from the slaughtered sheep was buried in the snow and frozen. She wanted to wait for Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing to make time before treating them to a meal.
In the end, Xiao Zeyu left with the army. When Aunt Li heard that Su Qing had arrived at the winery, she quickly asked her daughter to invite her over.
“Another day. The envoy of Tartan is here, and I don’t have time.”
Su Qing shook her head. She still had to go back and accompany Xiaoying. She had a lot of things to do that night, including attending to the envoy of Tartan.
Su Qing left the winery and returned to the government office. Xiaoying stayed in her grandfather’s room while she and Shuisheng stayed next door. Xing Ruhai wanted to give the main room to Xiao Zeyu, but Xiao Zeyu did not let him. Next spring, when the flowers would bloom, he and Su Qing would build their mansion. There was no need to stay in the main room for now.
When Su Qing arrived, Xiaoying was lying on the table in a daze. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes. She still couldn’t make a decision.
“Let’s eat first. We’ll think about it after we eat.”
Su Qing pushed the door open and saw Xiaoying’s listless appearance. She walked over and pulled Xiaoying up. She wouldn’t be eating at home today. They were going to a restaurant.
The largest restaurant in Mo City, Moon Restaurant, was located in the most prosperous area of Mo City. The environment of the place was good, and the food was delicious. Even if the price was slightly expensive, he did not have to worry about customers. The restaurant was packed when they arrived, and there was no single empty seat.
The moment Su Qing entered the restaurant, the manager recognized her. He hurriedly came out from behind the counter to welcome her warmly.
“Young Madam, it is an honor to have you here.”
Su Qing wore a green cotton coat with a purple cotton cloak draped over it. There was no accessory on her head. Without any makeup, she was still lovely. Her eyes were as cold as ice and snow, and her beauty was sacred and inviolable. The customers in the restaurant looked at Su Qing and Xiaoying, who were as beautiful as fairies, and no one dared to profane them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSu Qing glanced at the restaurant and saw no empty seats. She asked the waiter,
“Is there a place?”
“There’s a private room that’s still empty. Please follow me.”
The shopkeeper personally led the way. After Su Qing took Xiaoying upstairs, the customers downstairs began to discuss. Everyone saw that the envoy of the Tartan Kingdom had brought betrothal gifts and started discussing.
“The one following behind Young Master’s wife is Young Master’s younger sister. I heard that Tartan sent an envoy to offer betrothal gifts to marry Young Master’s younger sister.”
“The Third Prince of Tartan? We heard that he is the only prince left in the Tartan Kingdom. Isn’t that the future emperor? Young Master’s sister is going to be the Empress?”
“Is that so? If she married a prince, wouldn’t she be the future Empress?”
“Young Master’s younger sister has a noble appearance. One look, and you can tell that she has the fate of a mother.”
“But I see Young Master’s younger sister doesn’t seem happy. Is she unwilling to marry into Tartar? Could it be that Young Master forced her?”
Everyone’s discussion was overheard by a man who had just entered the door. He suddenly stopped in his tracks. The man was wearing a gray cotton robe and a green cloak. His face under the cloak was dark and gloomy. He looked travel-worn, and his shoes were covered in ice and snow. It was obvious that he had come from a long journey.
“Sir, there are no seats left. I’ll make you a pot of tea.”
When the waiter saw that a customer had arrived, he hurriedly welcomed him. Because the man’s face was covered too tightly, he could not see clearly. However, he was curious and wanted to see clearly. He stretched his neck and tilted his head to look into the man’s cloak.
“No need. You cut two catties of mutton, one steamed chicken, one fish, and ten buns for me.”
The man’s voice was hoarse like rough bark rubbing against each other. Seeing that the waiter wanted to see his face clearly, he lowered his head hard to prevent him from looking.
“Alright, please drink some tea first. I’ll prepare it for you.”
The waiter couldn’t see the man’s face but couldn’t keep staring at him and getting beaten up, so he agreed and went to the kitchen to pass the dishes.
The man stood before the counter and raised his head slightly to look upstairs. The people in the restaurant were still talking about Xiaoying becoming the princess consort. He could not help but clench his fists and emit a gloomy
aura..
