Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 325 Will You Dislike Me?

Hua Lei rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't need me to support you, so why should I despise you? If anyone despises you, it's your father and your mother. What does it have to do with me?"

Bai Yunhe's eyebrows moved slightly, and he leaned over and asked in a frivolous way, "Miss Hua, if I need you to support me, would you dislike me?"

"Of course I despise you. Besides, I can't afford to support a playboy like you." Hua Lei said casually while tidying up the messy papers on the desk.

"Oh, I'm so sad, Miss Hua, can't you just lie to me and say you don't dislike me?" Bai Yunhe covered his chest with his hands.

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, Miss Hua, you have so many farms and shops, how can you not be able to support me? I just need enough money to eat, and it will be enough to be about the same as Xiaoyuan."

Hualei smiled, looked meaningfully at the empty snack plate next to Bai Yunhe and said, "You must have eaten more than Xiaoyuan."

"Not much, not much. I can eat less in the future." Bai Yunhe said naturally, while moving the empty snack plate further away, and then said, "Besides, I think I am a person who is satisfied with love."

Hualei was stunned, and suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she had seen a conversation on the Internet about a very famous female writer and her boyfriend about eating more or less. Oh, don't think about it, it's also a tragic story. Hualei shook her head and put aside her thoughts that were scattered to the limit.

Bai Yunhe chatted with Hua Lei for a while, and then reluctantly returned to the Marquis' Mansion to discuss things with the old Marquis Bai. But before he went back, he was full of regrets again.

Alas, I didn't play chess with Miss Hua again, what a pity. Seeing that there were several piles of orders on Miss Hua's desk that had not been sorted out, and when she was talking to herself, someone would come over from time to time to ask about various temporary problems in the workshop. Hua Lei was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink water, so she still didn't dare to speak.

After seeing off Bai Yunhe, Hualei went to the wool sweater group. All the raw wool washed and dried in Yuanying Manor was brought to Huaying Manor, where it was spun into wool yarn and then knitted by hand. Because the manor was busy now, there were only a dozen women sitting in the workshop knitting sweaters.

Looking at their busy hands, Hua Lei fell into deep thought. She would have a good talk with Xiao Yuan when he came back at the end of the decade.

A few days later, Xiaoyuan came back from the Imperial College. After dinner, Xiaoyuan went to Hualei's study as usual. Hualei put down the book in her hand, looked at Xiaoyuan, and asked directly, "Xiaoyuan, did you deliberately let people know that I want to make sweaters next year?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Hua Lei's expression, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "No."

"Hmph, no? You came back at the end of the month, and we just talked about this matter. You suggested looking for more partners, and a few days later, how come Uncle Zhou Ziren and Sixth Brother Yunhai all came to talk to me about cooperation? How could it be such a coincidence? Not too early or too late, don't lie, and don't play tricks on me." Hua Lei looked suspicious. She didn't believe that Xiao Yuan didn't play tricks.

Xiaoyuan put down the pen in his hand, looked at the flower bud, and said, "Sister, I didn't mean it. I only said it because Ziren asked me. Don't wrongly accuse me. I just told the truth. They were cunning and asked their servants to go back and pass on the message. What does it have to do with me? How could I have thought they would do this?"

Hua Lei sighed and said, "Xiao Yuan, I know what you're thinking, but before you do this, shouldn't you ask for my opinion? If Grandfather Pei knew you did this, he would be heartbroken and think we don't trust him, do you know that?

We are short of money, but the Zhenbei Marquisate is not. He wants to take out 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver. Although it is not a matter of minutes, if there is a turnover of ten days or half a month, it can definitely be taken out. If he knew that we pulled other people to cooperate in order to gain the right to speak, he would be unhappy. "

"Well..., sister, you still haven't given Grandma Pei the recipe for making koji. Have you ever thought that Grandma Pei will be disappointed? She will think that you don't trust her, and that you are deliberately using the koji recipe to control her?" Xiao Yuan retorted.

"You..." Hua Lei was stunned and turned away uncomfortably. Indeed, although she taught the method of making rice wine in the Marquis' Mansion, she still kept the method and formula of rice wine koji in her own hands and did not give it to Madam Pei.

Every year when the hot pepper grass grows best, he and Aunt Fu and Aunt Song would make the wine yeast in Qingyun Lane and send it to the winery in the Marquis's Mansion. No matter how busy he was, he would never let others do it.

It's not that I want to control the Marquis' Mansion, but out of a natural sense of self-protection, I don't want to give away all the cards in my hand, leaving myself empty-handed and without any support. Now that Xiaoyuan has exposed it, I don't know how to explain it to him.

Xiao Yuan looked at Hua Lei and said softly, "Sister, we don't want to control the Marquis' Mansion, and we can't do it. We just want to give ourselves an extra layer of protection. This is the reason why you don't give me the recipe for the rice wine, and the same is true for this cooperative sweater.

If wool sweaters are really to be made, it will not take one or two years. If they make good money, they will keep doing it. We don't have that much capital. If Grandfather Pei pays for all the expenses, then the right to speak will be in the hands of their Marquis' Mansion.

If Grandfather Pei and Grandmother Pei are in charge, there may be no problem. However, if Grandfather Pei is no longer in charge of the Marquis's Mansion, we will be in a passive position.

You know, Madam Han and Madam Feng are not friendly to us. If the wool sweater has all the say, and the technology is leaked, they can kick us out at any time. This is definitely not the result you want, right?"

Hualei looked at Xiaoyuan and suddenly felt a little sad. A child who was only ten years old had already thought so far? She had not given the recipe for the wine yeast until now because she was worried about these two ladies, but her inner heart was already much older than fifteen years old.

Looking at Xiao Yuan, Hua Lei gently took Xiao Yuan's hand and said, "Of course I have thought about your concerns, but before the Marquis' Mansion showed their unfriendliness, we clearly showed our unfriendliness and distrust in advance. Isn't this inappropriate?

Yunhai and Ziren could understand what you said in the building. Do you think Rongjue couldn't understand?
