Chapter 173 Hu Niang
The woman heard the voice, turned around and greeted the person who came.
"Aunt." The young girl standing next to the woman had a sweet voice and also greeted the woman who came in.
"We just came in to take a look for a while, and you came right after."
"Second sister, Shiya, come and sit here. Cuixiang, make a pot of tea." Hu Sanniang stepped forward, held the woman's hand, and led the two into the reception room.
The maidservant who accompanied her stayed outside, waiting for orders.
The woman who was holding him up was wearing a pure white cotton-padded jacket, with a pale and weak face, a slender body, and a hand warmer in her hand. This woman was called Hu Erniang, and she was the elder sister of Hu Sanniang.
Hu Sanniang sat beside him and asked with concern: "How are you doing recently? Are you feeling better?"
Hu Erniang picked up the smoking teacup, took a sip of the warm tea to warm her throat, and said, "It's still the same. I'm used to it. It's so cold in this cold weather, and no matter how I treat it, it's useless."
"I came here this time just to see you."
"Second sister, how can I let you come to see me when you are sick? Send someone to tell me, wouldn't it be better if I come to visit you at home? If you trouble me to make such a trip and catch a cold, my brother-in-law will hate me."
"It's okay. I've been staying in the house for a long time and it's a bit boring. It's good to go out and walk around."
Hu Sanniang nodded, "By the way, how is that boy Zi'an now? I haven't seen him for a long time."
Wu Shiya: "Brother Zi'an was taken back to the master's house by the master's housekeeper a few days ago. He is hurrying on his horse, so he should be here soon."
"It's good to go back. If a child is still alone in that mansion, with a crazy sister, how can such an environment be conducive to the healthy growth of a child?"
Hu Erniang agreed: "Indeed, she was treated like this at such a young age. Tianwei looks so delicate and weak, I really don't think she can do such a thing. Shiya, you should listen to me, you must not do such a dirty thing, it is intolerable."
"Mother, of course I know." Wu Shiya hugged one of Hu Erniang's arms and rested her head on her shoulder.
"Don't go out lately. It's snowing so heavily outside."
"Mother, I don't go everywhere. Don't I go to Lin'an Academy most of the time?"
"And also said, how can a girl be so shameless and act so boldly."
Wu Shiya blushed when her mother said this to her in front of Hu Sanniang. "Mother, please save some face for me. Let's go home and talk about it."
Hu Sanniang was curious: "Second sister, what did Shi Ya do to make you talk about her like this?"
Hu Erniang missed the look her daughter gave her. "Nothing, just a girl's worries."
"Oh, which young man do you like? Let me know if I know."
"He's just a poor scholar, how could you possibly know him? He just has a good-looking face and is a self-aware guy. I don't know what kind of magic potion he used to make my daughter, but she was turned away every time she went back and refused. But Shi Ya still rushed to go."
Wu Shiya retorted: "Mother, Master Gu is my savior. He looks very good to me. Is it not okay for me to like him?"
"And it says in the storybook that if you want a man who doesn't like you to like you, you have to pester him and show your presence in front of him every day, then he will remember you."
Hu Sanniang was a little amused: "What kind of storybook is this nonsense? Besides, everything in the storybook is just nonsense, how can you take it seriously?"
"Alright, just read the book. How can you lose your brain? Anyway, don't try to show off your presence. She is not interested in you at all. She hasn't even looked at her face a few times. You still want her to remember you? It's wishful thinking."
"My mother is right. I have listened to her teachings." Wu Shiya's self-esteem was a little hurt. Her mother was right. She really could not talk to Master Gu at all. They had not even met each other many times. However, she could see Master Li who was by Master Gu's side many times every time she went there. He always came with her eldest brother and cousin.
My elder brother did not reveal his identity in the academy. He said that with this identity, he could not make sincere friends. I didn't want to reveal it to him either. Every time I saw him, I pretended not to know him. But every time I saw my elder brother's joking face, my palms really itched.
I've seen them more and more often, and they've asked me more and more questions. Everyone makes fun of me when they see me, so I've given myself a break from thinking about it.
That Mr. Li also said that Mr. Gu has someone in his heart.
Someone in your heart? I'm afraid that's not an excuse.
Wu Shiya just didn't believe it and decided to give it a try.
"Aunt, I need to prepare some sanitary napkins. We are running out of them at home." Wu Shiya remembered the purpose of following her mother this time.
"Menstrual pads, no problem, you can take them when you leave later, they are still in the same place."
"Sanniang, what's wrong with your brain? The emergence of this menstrual napkin has really solved the troubles of us women." Hu Sanniang praised Wu Shiya sincerely when she heard her talk about the menstrual napkin.
"Second sister, how could I have such a brain? This menstrual pad was sold to me by a young girl. She was talking to me about business. That girl is a person who can think, is smart and knows how to do business."
"Really? How old is that girl and is she married?" Hu Er Niang was a little curious and asked quickly.
Such a smart girl, I have to find out who she belongs to.
"I don't know."
Hu Erniang was puzzled: "Huh? When you cooperate with someone, you don't even ask about their background. Do you trust them so much?"
"Second sister, you don't understand this. It's better for businessmen to be a little confused. This is not a crooked business. It can still be a profitable business. If you ask for the details, people might not be willing to do business with you."
"What you said makes sense, but I am the one who doesn't know the etiquette."
"I found these menstrual pads useful, so I gave some to my sisters. Sanniang, I think these menstrual pads can't just be here, they need to be spread a little further."
"Second sister, it's not like I haven't thought about it. But, I'm unfamiliar with other places and I'm afraid of messing it up." The only time Hu Sanniang took a bold step was to accept Xu Yuan's idea of making menstrual napkins, which helped the clothing store, which usually had poor business, to turn around.
"You have been here for too long, guarding your shop all day long. Why don't you learn from Ahao and open a cloth shop somewhere else besides here?"
"Why mention him? I get angry when I mention other people. He is always away from home. How often do I see him throughout the year? I have been in the police department for so long, but I can only see him a few times."
Hu Erniang comforted her: "Don't blame him, this is all for the good of this family."
Hu Sanniang remained silent.
"Second sister, let's go out. We've got some good stuff this time. I'll take you to have a look. It's perfect for you."
"it is good."
