Xu Lan hurriedly thanked: "How dare you bother Cheng Er Gongzi to send it, I should inform Xu Song to get it, and I don't know how to thank you." This glass must also be very valuable. ā
Cheng Ergongzi waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, Brother Lin and I are iron buddies, if such a trivial matter is not done for him, he will not cut me when he sees it." You don't need to be grateful, just Xie Lin Rusong if you want to thank you. ā
Xu Lan said: "Then invite Lin Rusong and Cheng Ergongzi to have a meal another day." ā
Cheng Er Gongzi said, "Yes, yes." ā
I walked around the shop again and said, "You have quite a lot of things in the shop." ā
Xu Lan looked at him and knew that he was a little disdainful, this kind of family son must be in and out of the boutique, how could he come to this kind of store.
Xu Lan took the handkerchief she had just wrapped and handed it to Cheng Ergongzi and said: "There are no good things in the shop, they are all supplies for ordinary people, only this handkerchief can still be handled, and the embroidery is quite chic." ā
Cheng Ergongzi took it and looked at it and said, "This packaging is good, but it is novel." He turned over and saw the embroidered pattern and said, "It is indeed finely embroidered." ā
Xu Lan took another side and said: "Cheng Ergongzi didn't dislike it, so he accepted these two handkerchiefs and played with them." ā
Cheng Ergongzi saw that Xu Lan was so good at life, thinking that she couldn't be underestimated at a young age.
Then he took the handkerchief with both hands and thanked him. Then I praised the packaging of the veil.
Xu Lan had a good agreement with him, because there was no place to sit in the shop, the two had a polite exchange, and Cheng Ergongzi also left.
Xu Lan asked Shunzi to find a frame tomorrow to hold the words, and drew a schematic diagram for him.
During the following period of time, everyone was busy, Xu Lan and Chen's mother stayed in the store, maybe it was going to be the New Year, and they bought new goods. For a while, the business of the store was also welcoming customers.
The Wang family distributed the New Year's gifts to each family, and Xu Yiliang went to the two aunts and Wang's mother's house to give the New Year's gifts.
Xu Lan hurriedly wrote a letter to Lin Rusong, saying that Cheng Ergongzi's glass had been received. It has been framed and hung in the store, and when it comes one day, I will invite him and Lin Rusong to dinner.
After twenty, Xu Xuandi School has also taken annual leave, and Xu Yiliang sent New Year's gifts to various teachers and acquaintances. Xu Xuan sometimes followed Xu Lan to the store to help in the store, and later stayed at home to help when he wanted to worship his ancestors and paste couplets.
By December 25, Xu Lan rolled out the account, and this year the store made a total profit of 19 taels and 55 yuan, and a total of 900 combs were produced, making a profit of 21 taels. reported Xu Yiliang and Wang, everyone was originally ready to lose money this year, but they didn't expect that there was still a balance, and everyone was very happy.
In the afternoon, the Zhao couple were given leave.
The monthly case of the Zhao couple was from the Wang family, and the Wang family gave them another five taels of silver, and prepared various New Year's gifts, including food, use, and a few pieces of cloth. Xu Lan took some rouge gouache from the store and brought back the trinkets for her daughter. Let Shunzi drive the car, stuff and people crowded a car, and sent the couple back to Huai A County for the New Year.
Xu Lan and Sister Chen stayed until the 28th, and after the 26th, there were not many customers who came to the store to buy goods, so Xu Lan asked Sister Chen to go home early in the afternoon on the first day.
In the past two days, the family sacrifices to the god of the stove and the god of the door, and all kinds of trivial matters.
On the 28th, Wang instructed Shunzi to bring back the set pork, and Sister Chen, Li Po, Li Mama, Li An, and Shunzi each shared a piece.
gave Sister Chen a monthly case, and gave a reward of one or two silvers, and then gave Sister Chen a leave of absence.
Xu Lan stayed in the store until the 29th, and Shunzi went to the store at noon on the 29th to paste the couplet, sorted it out, and then the two went home together.
Because tomorrow is the official New Year, on the 29th, Wang asked his subordinates to go home in the afternoon to celebrate the New Year, and each of them gave a reward after the month. Li Po Li An went back to the outside of the city, Mama Li's daughter came to pick her up for the New Year, and Li An accompanied Master Cheng.
For dinner, Mama Li had already prepared it, and Xu Lan had a hot family to eat casually.
On the 30th, it was officially a lively and lively year.
The Wang family also gave each child New Year's money, gave Xu Lan two red envelopes, and the other was a reward. Xu Lan refused, but the Wang family asked her to accept it, which was also the intention of her parents. Xu Lan happily accepted it. The New Year's money is one tael, but the red envelope is five taels.
Wang also gave everyone new clothes and shoes from head to toe.
Xu Tang is the happiest, with new clothes and New Year's money.
Brother Xuan was also happy, but he was embarrassed to be exposed like Xu Tang.
For a while, the atmosphere of the New Year was fully hooked.
At night, firecrackers rang out in the county, and some even set off fireworks.
Junzi also took Brother Xuan to the courtyard and set off firecrackers.
There is a habit of keeping the New Year's mark at night, but everyone has a little meaning and they all go to sleep.
On the second day, it was the first day of the thirty-second year of Xuanxiaozong.
In the morning, Xu Yiliang led the whole family to worship heaven and earth and the tablets of their ancestors, and because there were no elders in the family, the whole family ate dumplings together.
From the first day of the first month to the tenth day of the first month, eat all kinds of food, play chess with Brother Xuan, put out a flower tube, tease the birds with Xu Tang, and sometimes a few children go to the suburbs to play and ride horses, or go to the street to see various performances. Time flies, too.
Some big families will go outside the city to give some porridge and steamed buns to the displaced people during these days.
On the 10th day of the first lunar month, the shops in the city are basically reopened and officially opened.
Xu Lan also received her heart on the tenth day of the first month, first went to the shop to pay homage to the God of Wealth, and then cleaned up with Chen's mother.
Xu Yiliang had already told her that Steward Zhao would come over after fifteen, and he would be here for a long time after he came. The shop in the back has been basically negotiated, and after fifteen, the courtyard in the back and the shop in front will be connected, so that the place will be bigger.
I also searched for a few houses, but I haven't found a satisfactory one yet.
Because in the New Year, there are not many guests. Xu Lan was bored and wanted to doze off, when a person suddenly came to the door of the store, flew off the horse and ran to the store.
"Xu Song, Xu Song."
Xu Lan was startled when she heard this, and she was scared away from drowsiness.
A face suddenly appeared in front of him, smirking at him, Xu Lan jumped up and took a step back.
Lin Rusong was not very happy to see her reaction, and asked, "What kind of reaction are you?!"
Xu Lan glared at him and said, "I was thinking about things just now, I was scared by you, and I almost lost my soul, so you are embarrassed to ask me." ā
Another panting ran in at the door, it was Qingzhu.
"Young master, young master, I finally caught up with you."
Seeing that Xu Lan was busy saluting again.
Lin Rusong ignored him, looked at Xu Lan and said, "Aren't you going to invite me to dinner, just today, I will have time today." ā
Xu Lan didn't have any opinions, she had to invite sooner or later anyway, and the past two days were relatively empty.
"I just don't know if Cheng Ergongzi has time?"
"Cheng Ning, what serious business does he have, don't worry, there must be time."
"Oh, so what do you want to eat?"
Lin Rusong thought for a while and said, "You can go anywhere, where do you want to go?" ā
"Hey, I'm in for a treat, of course you have to like it. And.. To be honest, I don't know much about what is delicious in Huaiyang County, so you should choose. ā
Lin Rusong said: "Then go to Qingfeng Building, although the environment is average, but the dishes are good." ā
After a pause, he said: "There are so many people, call your brothers and sisters to join us." ā
Xu Lan thought about it seriously, and it was also beneficial for Brother Xuan to know more about these people, so she said: "I'll let my brother come along, my sister is still young and doesn't like to follow us, forget it." ā
"Won't there be a river lantern in the county in two days? You're going to see it, and you're going to call me then. ā
"The river lantern is definitely going to be seen, and you will be called when the time comes."
"How about the thirteenth day of the first lunar month? When the time comes, we will meet on the Xijin Bridge. ā
Lin Rusong was so happy that he said yes again and again, and said, "Then let's go and have dinner." ā
Xu Lan looked at the time and thought to herself whether this was a snack or dinner.
