After the old man finished speaking, he asked the old steward to take out a silver ticket, "Here are five hundred taels of silver, I will order an engraving from you, and pay another thousand taels after delivery." ”

Chu Yiyao felt that this old man had an extraordinary temperament at first, and when he saw that he took out the silver to discuss business, he quickly reacted, ordered someone to make tea, and took him to the third floor.

The private seat that had just been renovated, and now there were no guests, Chu Yiyao chose a room with a wide view and invited the old man to sit in, "Old man, how should I call you?" ”

"You can just call me Chen Lao." Chen Lao sat down and put the silver ticket on the table, "This is a deposit." ”

"Old Chen, don't worry, you can talk about the silver slowly, you haven't told me yet, what you want." Chu Yiyao was not in a hurry to take the silver, and personally poured him a cup of tea.

"There is a lack of a Buddha statue in the old wife's Buddhist hall." Seeing her not arrogant or impatient, a flash of appreciation flashed in Chen Lao's eyes, Chu Yiyao nodded, ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, looked up and said to Chen Lao, "Do you want a statue of Guanyin?" ”

After Chu Yiyao remembered the size and requirements of the Guanyin statue, he asked when he needed it, and then he talked to Chen Lao about the different prices of various types of wood.

"Old Chen, we have a rule in this shop, we have to add another two hundred taels for a private order like yours, and I also want to tell you about the wood we have here for you to choose, do you want huanghuali or rosewood, we also have boxwood, sour wood, or do you just need ordinary?"

"Naturally, I want the best huanghuali." Chen Lao listened to her introduction and then said.

"Then this one needs a total of two thousand taels of silver, Chen Lao, you can pay a deposit first, and then pay the rest after picking up the goods, this is enough according to your time, but if there is any accident that the goods are late, you don't want this Buddha statue, we will return this deposit to you, what do you think?" Chu Yiyao wrote down the deed as she said and pushed it to Old Chen.

Dozens of lines clearly stated Chen Lao's requirements and the price, Chen Lao looked at Chu Yiyao's calm smile, even if it was carved with Huanghuali, they could make a lot of money by the 1,500 taels he originally said, but I didn't expect this girl's heart to be so ruthless, and she had to add 500 taels to it.

"Two thousand taels of silver to buy this statue of Guanyin, girl, you are a lion with a big mouth." Chen Lao took the pen and was not in a hurry to sign, and looked up at her with a smile.

"Chen Lao, it is our best master who carves this Guanyin statue for you, you also see that some of the high sellers in our shop are from his hands, if he spends three months only carving this one for you, he will no longer have other things in his hands to get into the shop in March, which is definitely related to more than the five hundred taels of silver added to this, besides, Chen Lao, you come back to us, but also look at our skills here, as long as the thing satisfies you, I believe you will not care about the price."

Chu Yiyao said that the head is the Tao, as for whether the things here are all from the best master, it is all up to her, and the carved Buddha statue, such a pious thing, it is not interesting to bargain.

"Here's a deposit of 1,000 taels, and someone will come to pick up the goods then." Old Chen took out another silver ticket and put it on the table, and went down with the old housekeeper, and Chu Yiyao sent them to the door in person.

After getting into the carriage, Chen Lao looked at the piece of paper, with a smile on his face, and gave the paper to the old steward on the side, "What do you think?" ”

"Slightly reckless." The old steward thought for a while and finally spoke, Chen Lao smiled, his face was a rare kind eye, "Lao Jiang, this is the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, we don't dare to do this business now, but she dare." ”

Chu Yiyao quickly sent someone to send the news of a list to Shen Shixuan, just after the Chinese New Year, this time is still tight, if the best Huanghuali is not available here, you have to find it somewhere else. Her asking price was a bit ruthless, but seeing that the old man opened his mouth, it was 1,500 taels, and he didn't blink his eyes, and 2,000 taels was definitely not a problem for him.

"Miss Chu's shop is doing well?" Chu Yiyao was talking to the shopkeeper about something, and Cao Jinrong's voice came from the door, and a few people who were still watching in the shop saw that it was him, and they all tucked aside, for fear of provoking this demon king of the world.

Cao Jinrong walked into the shop, glanced at it casually, his eyes fell on Chu Yiyao, and the corners of his mouth raised with a smile and praised, "Miss Chu is really good at doing business." ”

"Thank you Gongzi Cao for the compliment, Gongzi Cao can watch it casually." Chu Yiyao saw that it was time to go to Uncle Huai's, and after ordering the matter, he was ready to leave the shop.

"Miss Chu, you are looking down on me Cao Jinrong, since you are a guest, shouldn't you, the boss, take my son to take a look around." Cao Jinrong raised his fan to block Chu Yiyao's way, and pointed to the things placed in the room, which were quite shelf, "You still don't introduce this son." ”

In Chu Yiyao's eyes, Cao Jinrong is a complete villain, and it is best not to offend him, otherwise where will he have extra time to deal with it, so a smile appeared on Chu Yiyao's face, "What does Cao Gongzi like?" ”

"I don't like you here." Cao Jinrong sighed and looked up at the second floor, "You better take me upstairs to have a look, Boss Chu." ”

Chu Yiyao's brows trembled slightly, and he still took him to the second floor, Cao Jinrong took a look to the right, and didn't think it was good, so he picked up one and put down the other, as if playing.

"Miss Chu has become more famous than my son recently, and in our restaurant, everyone who eats will mention the eldest lady of the Chu family, a heroine." After a while, Cao Jinrong picked up a pipe, became a little interested in the inscriptions on it, and looked back at Chu Yiyao standing at the top of the stairs after putting it down, the smile on his face was not meaningful.

"Your second brother was kicked out of the house by you, my little concubine seems to be very sad, I see that she won't write letters, and Qin won't talk about it." Cao Jinrong suddenly walked towards her, holding a regular ring ruler in his hand, and directly wanted to use the ring ruler to pick Chu Yiyao's chin.

"Young Master Cao, please respect yourself." Chu Yiyao stretched out his hand and pulled away the ruler, and his voice became colder, "If Gongzi Cao has any opinions about Chu Duyuan, it is better for you to go directly to him and say it, I will not convey these words for you." ”

"He is your second brother, I can't find him, I can only come to you, you say, your brother is so bold to dare to have a relationship with my concubine, should I consider having more contact with his sister and settle this matter." Cao Jinrong felt particularly interesting when he saw Chu Yiyao's evasive appearance, and his words became presumptuous.

"Gongzi Cao is mistaken, Mandarin Duck is your concubine, not your sister, according to what you say, I can send you the passage of my brother's yard." Seeing his frivolous appearance, Chu Yiyao said with some disdain, "This is also as Cao Gongzi's wish, and it is even." ”

"Believe me or not!" Cao Jinrong suddenly shouted with a dipped expression, he just couldn't see others provoking him like this, whether Chu Yiyao begged for mercy or apologized, he just couldn't look at him with this look, like looking at a clown jumping off the beam.

"Why, is Gongzi Cao going to find someone to break my leg or ruin my appearance, or simply take my life, with the Cao family in Cao Gongzi, you can really do whatever you want, if the mandarin duck matter is not connived at by you, how can she send this letter, if Gongzi Cao wants to watch the play, then there are rules for watching the play, and there is no need to say anything to me again." Chu Yiyao unceremoniously answered the conversation for him, she was still holding her breath in her heart, she was not optimistic about her own backyard, what did it mean to turn around and make trouble for others.

"You said that if Chu Duyuan knew that it was his sister who beat the mandarin duck, what do you say his reaction is." Cao Jinrong was stunned at first, and then his eyes were stained with a touch of anger, and he threatened in a low voice.

"That's right, Cao Gongzi went to find my second brother and told him in person, by the way, so that I could know if he was still alive, thank you." Chu Yiyao said that it didn't matter, turned around and went downstairs, got out of the shop and got into the carriage to go to Huaishan's house.

When Cao Jinrong came down, the carriage had already gone away, standing at the door of the shop, Cao Jinrong looked at the back of the car, his face was dark

Huaishan finally moved into the Chu family, and as soon as Chu Yiyao arrived at him, he urged him to pack his things, and went to the Chu family immediately after cleaning up, and he couldn't stay for one more night, and when he finished packing his things and arrived at the Chu family, it was already very late.

"Girl, what are you angry about?" When he arrived at the arranged courtyard, Huai Shan packed up his things on the side, looked at Chu Yiyao, who was sitting there with a puffed face, and said with a smile.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, just because of the mandarin duck affair and Cao Jinrong, that guy threatened himself with this matter from time to time, and he had to watch other people's chickens and dogs restless to make him happy.

"It's nothing, I met a second ancestor, and I was uneducated!" Chu Yiyao snorted, only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten anything until he had been busy all afternoon, and looked up at Huaishan, "Uncle, do you want to eat dumplings, I'll let the kitchen wrap some and cook it and send it over." ”

Huai Shan nodded helplessly when he saw her sunny and rainy for a while, Chu Yiyao ordered to go down, stood up and walked around the house, looking at his few luggage, "Uncle, all these things have you had over the years?" ”

"That's a lot, I used to have to move around a lot, and it's useless to bring so many things." In those years, Huaishan was a group of horses, and they immediately walked around with their luggage, how could it be possible for several large boxes to come and go.

"If you live here in the future, the uncle can also have a lot of things, and this yard will be for you to live alone, I don't think you are used to being served, so I only arranged a mother and a mother-in-law for you to help you clean and clean." Chu Yiyao said while thinking about it.

That's what home feels like.

Huai Shan looked at Chu Yiyao in some of his luggage room, and a touch of gentleness appeared on his face, although he didn't see Ah Ling, but this girl would take him over, she must have received Ah Ling's consent, this is enough, he really doesn't want much, it is enough to be able to take care of her by her side like a family.

Ping'er quickly sent the dumplings over, and also served a few side dishes, after the two of them finished eating, Chu Yiyao returned to Yifeng Courtyard, tired for a day, the peacock prepared water for her early soup, Chu Yiyao squinted her eyes and soaked for a while, and soon fell asleep after lying down, dreamless all night
