Chapter 40: Receiving People
Sister Lu Hong saw the look on Xia Chunchao's face, her mind turned, and she asked with a smile: "What's the matter, sister-in-law is distressed again?" Xia Chunchao smiled and said, "This is not ...... Well, don't mention this. As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the big red charred cloth, and said, "What do you think of this?" Sister Lu Hong looked at her hand, and said, "This cloth is finely woven and dyed." These three shuttles are also well woven, very soft, and good for small clothes. Where did my sister-in-law buy such good goods? Xia Chunchao said: "It's the newly opened 'Nishang Xuan' on West Street, I went to see it with your brother yesterday, the goods are excellent, but they are more expensive." β
When Sister Lu Hong heard this, she asked the price, nodded and said, "Such goods are also worth this price." After finishing speaking, I looked at it again, and saw those rolls of royal blue navy satin, so he smiled and said, "These satins are all bought by my sister-in-law for my brother?" The Communist Party bought such a package of fabrics, but my brother's accounted for the most. My sister-in-law wanted to make clothes with my brother, and I was asked to stain them again. β
The two laughed for a while, and it was rumored outside that Tailor Ding had arrived. Because they were accustomed to coming and going at home all the year round, the two sisters-in-law did not shy away from taboos, so they ordered someone to bring them in.
After a while, the tailor came in, came up to meet Miss Grandma, and stood aside.
Xia Chunchao didn't give instructions at first, but only smiled and said, "What has Master Ding been doing recently?" It's always been rare. Tailor Ding smiled respectfully: "Because of the intersection of spring and summer, the wives and grandmothers of each family are busy buying new clothes these days, and the small business is busy. Yesterday, my grandmother sent someone to inform me that the little one was rushing to the work of the wife of the owner of the Fenglou in the east and west of the city, and when she heard that it was the wife who recruited her, she left her busy and came over. Xia Chunchao smiled slightly and said, "You are diligent." Tailor Ding said with a smile: "Since the small independent door came out, grandma has taken care of the small business. The little one is remembered in his heart, how dare he not report it? β
Xia Chunchao listened to what he said sweetly and smiled. Sister Lu Hong said quickly: "Ding Cut, I heard that you stole a bucket of sesame oil and two buckets of honey from Lao Liu Tou on the street yesterday, and now he is shouting everywhere to catch thieves." Is there such a thing? Tailor Ding was stunned and replied, "Why did the girl say this, there is no such thing. Sister Lu Hong smiled and said: "I didn't steal honey and sesame oil, why is my mouth so sweet?" It's really used to coaxing people, and it's no wonder that your business is so good. Tailor Ding smiled: "The girl said she was smiling." β
After talking about the cold and warmth like this, Tailor Ding came up and measured the size of the two sisters-in-law, and asked, "Ask grandma to show me, what kind of clothes do you want to cut?" β
Xia Chunchao discussed with Sister Lu Hong, and it was called a big red charred cloth bijia, a big red charred cloth button-down shirt, a water ripple lake blue pleated skirt, and a green high-waisted skirt. The makeup yarn was cut with Xia Chunchao, a shawl and a floor-covering skirt. The two of them have finished explaining their clothes, and they have to order Lu Chengyong's clothes. The men's clothes were limited, and a few rolls of silk were divided into large coats, deep coats, straight jackets, shirts, and two trousers. and because he was not at home, he could not measure himself. Xia Chunchao handed over an old piece of Lu Chengyong's old clothes to Ding Tailor for comparison, but fortunately, Lu Chengyong's figure has not been out of shape for a few years, and it is no problem.
After a while, Xia Chunchao smiled and said: "Master Ding, it's hot when we see it this day, and we want to rush to the Dragon Boat Festival again, so I'm bothering you to catch up." Tailor Ding remembered the style, and when he heard this, he hurriedly replied: "The little one knows how important it is, and he doesn't obey Grandma's orders." When the little one went back, he brought his apprentice to set it up, and he must have missed his grandmother's holiday. β
Xia Chunchao nodded, and said, "The old lady is going to the room at this time, you can also ask the old lady and the wife if they want to buy a few clothes." Tailor Ding agreed, and packed up his things.
Bao'er came up to add tea, and said with a smile: "Although the young master and grandma are arguing, grandma still thinks about the young master in her heart." When Sister Lu Hong heard this, she asked, "What's the matter, my sister-in-law is arguing with my brother?" Before Xia Chunchao could speak, Zhu'er said quickly: "It seems that because of the incident in Changchun yesterday, the young master came back and hated grandma, and grandma was unhappy." I got up early this morning, and the young master didn't even eat, so he hurried out. If Grandma doesn't say it, how can we not see it! As he spoke, he said to Xia Chunchao: "Don't take grandma to heart, the young master can't say it with his mouth, and he also loves grandma in his heart." Yesterday in the shop, grandma looked at the makeup yarn and liked it, and was reluctant to buy it, so the young master secretly bought it for grandma. This mind can be regarded as considerate, and grandma also takes a look, doesn't it? The young master has been at the border for many years, and it was easy to come back, and before it was hot for two days, grandma was born with him. Not to mention the young master, even when we look at it, we feel cold. β
Xia Chunchao reprimanded: "You girl, I'm up in the countdown." Sister Lu Hong listened on the side, so she took the opportunity to persuade: "Since this is the case, my sister-in-law is not as good as my brother to say." Your love in the past few years has been hurt by these irrelevant little things, but it's really not worth it. My brother and sister-in-law are not ignorant, and they are straightforward. It's just a big thing, and it's the most unsuccessful thing to run into a small thing like a parent. What are you angry with him? β
Xia Chun said to Zhengse: "Girl, what kind of person am I?" Am I the narrow-hearted, vexatious fool? I have my own reasons for this. Sister Lu Hong ate this meal and grabbed white, her face was scornful, and she only said: "It's okay, sister-in-law, don't worry." It's a matter of the two of you, I won't say it. β
Xia Chunchao didn't want to say much about it, so he said: "Mrs. called the daughter of the spring sister-in-law in the kitchen to fill the vacancy, and I thought that I would call Changchun over now." What do you think? Sister Lu Hong said: "Sister-in-law is in charge, my place is empty, just go with Changchun." When Xia Chunchao heard about it, he sent Zhu'er out to spread the word. asked Changchun to immediately pack up the package and move it to Sister Lu Hong's house. He also passed the butterfly up and sent it to the upper room.
Although this colorful butterfly is only fifteen this year, it is born quite a bit of beauty, and a hundred and hundred, everything is known as soon as you hear it, you will have a little arrogance, and you will only be able to stand out in the family. However, the Xia and Chun Dynasty was very strict, and they did not add manpower. So she grew up at home until she was fifteen years old, and she had no errands to do. Last year, the Lu family held a banquet to entertain relatives and friends, and they were busy. Sister-in-law Chun made an excuse, and after begging in front of Xia Chunchao, she got an errand and brought her daughter into the kitchen. Since then, the family has eaten a double salary, who knows that the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and the colorful butterfly stove was accidentally burned by the fire when the fire was burned. Xia Chunchao took pity on his poor family, and suddenly suffered misfortune, so he was thick and silver, and extended medical treatment. However, this burn is extremely difficult to heal, and Caidie rested at home for several months, although the injury on her face healed, but she fell into a scar, and she was not allowed to come in to receive the errand. This woman is very angry, and when she suddenly encounters this incident, she is angry and hateful, but she is helpless.
It just so happens that there are a lot of things in the Lu family recently, and the Liu family suspects that everyone in the family is from the hands of Xia Chunchao, and they intend to choose a confidant. And because he wanted to prevent landing, he picked all over the family and selected the colorful butterflies. Sister-in-law Chun was worried that her daughter was scorched at home, and when she heard about it, she was really happy to fall from the sky and responded with her mouth. Seeing that the grandmother sent someone to summon her, she immediately picked up her daughter and packed it in.
Caidie lowered her head all the way and followed the visitor into the upper room.
At that time, Honeysuckle was sitting outside the door of the inner room, and when she saw her come in, she got up and said, "Sister is here, sister wait, I'll go in and tell Mrs. SΓΉ." β
The man who brought her laughed and said, "Wait here, girl, I'll go first." Caidie hurriedly smiled: "Sister-in-law go slowly, I will have more sister-in-law to take care of in the future." The man laughed and went.
Suddenly, Honeysuckle came out of it and said, "Mrs. told my sister to come in." When Caidie heard this, she walked in with Honeysuckle.
When I entered the house, I saw Liu Shi wearing old homely clothes, sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding a colorful porcelain bowl in his hand, and looking at him with blazing eyes. The colorful butterfly lowered its head and stepped forward, knelt three steps away from the kang, kowtowed a few times uprightly, and heard the head say: "It's cool underground, get up." β
Caidie got this sound, and Fang got up from the ground, still lowering his head, but his eyes looked around.
Liu Shi glanced at her twice, and then smiled: "You kid, what are you doing with your head down?" Lift up your head and tell me to look. Caidie said softly: "I'm ugly, I'm afraid of scaring my wife." Liu said, "Since I have called you up, I naturally know what is ahead." You can just look up your head, and it doesn't get in the way. As he spoke, seeing that she didn't move, he smiled again: "Isn't it that you will serve in this house in the future, and you will lower your face and not look at people?" When Caidie heard this, Fang dared to raise her head slowly, but she still didn't dare to look at Liu. Liu Shi looked her up and down, and saw that there was indeed an old scar the size of a slap on the left side of her face, and her appearance was completely ruined, and she was satisfied. He immediately nodded, pretending to be pitiful: "This wound on the face was burned last year?" What a decent girl, it's a real pity. β
Caidie listened to her talk about the old things, and her heart was sick, and her eyes couldn't help but redden. I only heard Liu sigh again: "Last year, I originally asked you to serve in the girl's room." It's just that your grandmother said that even though the cherry is seriously ill, it is still there, and there is no reason to make up for it, so she asked you to go to the kitchen. If it were me, where would this catastrophe be? After saying that, he sighed a few more times.
Her words were intended to provoke that this colorful butterfly was young and related to the fuselage, so she immediately got on the set. Biting a few silver teeth, he whispered: "It's just that I'm not blessed, but I can't complain about others." β
Liu Shi smiled: "I heard about you, and I feel sorry for it." I wanted you to serve in the house, but because you have always been at home to recuperate, and I have no shortage of people here. What's more, your grandmother has always been in charge of family affairs, but I don't count it, so I have to just do it. Fortunately, now Changchun is going to serve the girl, and there is a vacancy in my house to make up for it. Your grandmother was going to go out to buy it, and I immediately remembered you. Instead of letting outsiders take advantage of this advantage, it is better to lift up your own people and call you up. From now on, you'll be the big girl in my room. β
Caidie heard these words, and quickly knelt down again, kowtowed a few times, and said in her mouth: "Mrs. promoted, Entong rebuilt." It is difficult to repay the death of the servant, and he will definitely support his wife in the future! β
Liu Shi smiled and said, "Talk well, and kneel down to do something." He turned his head and said to Honeysuckle: "Help your sister up." β
Honeysuckle was tilting his head to watch, and when he heard the command, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Caidie up.
Liu took off a gilt silver bracelet from his wrist again, handed it to her, and said, "I saw it for the first time today, there is nothing good, you can wear this bracelet for the time being." In the future, if you do a good job, I will reward you. Caidie didn't dare to accept it, pushed it a few times, and saw that the Liu family insisted on giving it away, so she had to accept it.
It turned out that Liu's words were all given by Lu Jia. Otherwise, with Liu's mind, how could he come up with such a sentence. She first used words to provoke each other, earned endless colorful butterflies, and seduced her with small profits. When the world is here, nine out of ten have to go to the road, not to mention that the butterfly is still young and has little knowledge, and it really hits the shot.
At that moment, Liu said a few more gossips, and then renamed the colorful butterfly Yingxia and stayed in the room to listen to it. This Yingxia also followed the Liu family with all his heart.
