The carriage stopped in front of the Prince's Mansion, and Sun Xun, who had been waiting for him in the morning, saw Li Che get out of the carriage and immediately greeted him, and he smelled the wine just closely, but there was a faint fragrance in the wine, and the aroma was very faint but it made people feel comfortable.

Li Che got out of the carriage, and Sun Xun said on the side: "The sobering soup has been prepared, the soup pool has also been prepared, and the excerpts that the master has not finished handling have also been sent back to the study." ”

Li Che replied and strode into the Prince's Mansion.

Sun Xun took a step behind slightly, leaned over to Long Yi's side and asked, "The prince never uses incense on weekdays, why does he have a fragrance on his body when he comes back from Liufu today?" ”

Long Yi looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and said softly, "Miss Liu gave a sachet to the master." ”

Sun Xun suddenly realized, he sighed: "It seems that I want to find someone who understands incense to find out what kind of incense it is, so I can prepare it as soon as possible." ”

Long Yi patted him on the shoulder, his expression was full of appreciation, Sun Xun smiled faintly at him, and the two entered the mansion side by side.

Li Che entered the bath room, and immediately a servant girl stepped forward to serve, the servant girl just stretched out her hand to his neck, wanting to unbuckle his neck for him, but his body stiffened slightly and then waved away all the maids in the bath.

When the servant girl withdrew, he withdrew his robe and obscenity. Clothes step into the soup pool.

He tilted his head slightly and saw the deep tooth marks on his shoulder, Liu Xuan's teeth were not sharp, so naturally they couldn't pierce his skin, but her mouth was really fierce, and his shoulder was already red and swollen at the moment.

The corners of Li Che's mouth were slightly raised, and he didn't pay attention to the slight pain and redness in his eyes, and took the water and began to bathe.

After bathing and changing, Li Che did not go to the study. Instead, he asked Sun Xun to send the fold back to his room, he lit the lamp and carefully reviewed it, a sachet embroidered with green bamboo was quietly placed on the desk, Li Che would look at the sachet after completing a book, that look with a smile and gentleness, and when he looked down at the fold again, the smile and softness in his eyes had receded, and it was cold.

On the second day, Liu Xuan wanted to get up and leave early after finishing in Liufu, but Liu's mother took her hand and was slightly reluctant: "It would be great if Xuan'er could move into the mansion, and I could also dress up for you like an ordinary mother." ”

Liu Xuan smiled and was slightly apologetic, and Liu Mu sighed: "I'm just talking." ”

Liu's mother sent Liu Xuan to the gate of Liufu. Holding Liu Xuan's hand, he said, "I originally thought that in two days, I would ask the nobles of the capital to come to the house for a gathering." I will officially introduce you to them, but in two days it will be the day when King Ning Shizi will go on the expedition, and this matter can only be done after the prince goes on the expedition. ”

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "State affairs are important, Xuan'er is awake." The stepmother doesn't have to send Xuan'er in person in the future. Now this Liufu is Xuan'er's home. How can there be a reason for the daughter to go out every time she goes out and let her mother send it to the door. ”

Liu's mother sent Liu Xuan to show her love and value. Liu Xuan's refusal to let her send it in person was naturally a sign of respect for her, and Liu's mother smiled at the corner of her eyes: "Okay, Xuan'er is right." Liufu is Xuan'er's home, and Xuan'er often comes to accompany her stepmother in the future. ”

Liu Xuan nodded and said goodbye to Liu's mother for a while, and then got into the carriage and left.

After returning to Liu's house, Liu Xuan went to the study, sorted out the contents of the wooden box again, and then asked Huyi to summon Qian Tong and Xiao Gong.

About half an hour later, Qian Tong and Xiao Gong arrived, Xiao Gong touched his goatee and smiled when he saw the wooden box placed on the table: "The girl summoned Lao Yu and Qian Tong, she must have a plan in her heart." ”

Liu Xuan nodded: "Qian Tong, have you ever seen the account book made by Steward Hu when you were in Yizhou?" ”

"Yes." Qian Tong replied: "My father-in-law used the account book to hold me accountable, and I took a closer look at it at that time. ”

"Good." Liu Xuan instructed: "You have been with Xiao Gong for some time, you should already know about the four restaurants that Xiao Gong manages, I want you to make a new copy of the detailed accounts of these four restaurants for half a year according to the account book that Steward Hu made before, I can give you limited time, I want to see the detailed accounts of these four restaurants within five days." ”

Qian Tong immediately received the order: "I will live up to the trust of the young lady." ”

Seeing that he received the order, Liu Xuan said to Xiao Gong in a blink of an eye: "Xiao Gong, you have been taking care of the prince's property for a long time, and now it is handed over to me but it is starting again, I need you to divide these industries into three groups, the most profitable, the income and expenditure are equal or less profitable, and the current ones are not very profitable, sort out the advantages and disadvantages, and then analyze the industrial forces in Beijing into a book, and hand it over to me within five days." ”

Xiao Gong nodded: "Okay, within five days, the old man will present what the girl wants." ”

"There's Lao Xiaogong." Liu Xuan said to Xiao Gong: "There is another matter to trouble Xiao Gong, please ask Xiao Gong to let someone sort out a copy of the silver currently available in our hands, as well as the abilities of all the experts under Xiao Gong's account, I want to meet them one by one before meeting the various managers." ”

Xiao Gong nodded in response: "This matter is not difficult, the old man will definitely present it between dinner today." ”

After Liu Xuan finished instructing, he sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusted Yu Xuan with a heavy responsibility, Xuan didn't dare to resign and could only go all out, Xuan was not as young as Xiao Gong who had been in the mall for a long time, if there was anything thoughtless, I hope Xiao Gong would mention it in time." ”

She said so seriously, Xiao Gong nodded immediately, and his good impression of Liu Xuan in his heart increased a lot: "Lao Yu said before, I can trust the vision of His Royal Highness the Prince, what does the girl think, what do you want to do, just give it a try, Lao Yu will definitely help with all her might, it is wrong, just know where the mistake is and correct it in time, I believe that with the wisdom of the girl, she will be able to live up to the prince's trust." ”

Liu Xuan thanked Xiao Gong again, and turned to Qian Dao: "Qian Tong, you have followed me all the way from Yizhou to the capital, and have been studying under Xiao Gong's account for more than a month, Xiao Gong has praised you well, from today is the time for you to show your strength, don't let me and Xiao Gong down." ”

Qian Tong took a deep look: "Miss De and Xiao Gong are so loved, Qian Tong can only be repaid by death." ”

Liu Xuan smiled lightly: "Who wants you to die, you must live well, and it is best to live a long life to repay me and Xiao Gong's trust in you." ”

Qian Tong's face was red, and he said yes again and again.

What Liu Xuan wanted to say had already been said, Xiao Gong and Qian Tong didn't stay longer and exited the study, Liu Xuan didn't pass Qiu Ju and Dongmei to serve, only sat in the study in a daze and looked at the things sorted out in the wooden box in a daze, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed. She glanced at her newly made clothes, and immediately called to the void, "Tiger One, Tiger Two." ”

Tiger One and Tiger Two suddenly appeared in the study.

Liu Xuan looked at the two of them and said, "Hu Yi, you go and get the size of Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun, you must be careful not to be sloppy." Tiger Er, you go and get the size of Long Yi and the prince. ”

Hu Yi and Hu Er heard the order, and were slightly stunned: "What does Miss Liu mean at this time?" ”

Liu Xuan smiled incomprehensibly: "When the time comes, you will know, just do it now." ”

Tiger One and Tiger Two were ordered to retreat, Liu Xuan called Qiu Ju and Dongmei in with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at the two of them: "How are you learning double-sided embroidery?" ”

Qiu Ju frowned: "It's just a beginner, like a young lady, you can show off a sachet in two or three days, but you can't do it." ”

"Just get started." Liu Xuan said to the two: "Give the two of you five days." You won't have to do anything for five days. Concentrate on studying the embroidery method of double-sided embroidery, all the exercises are completed on the embroidery handkerchief, and I hope that within five days, the two of you will be able to hand in the ten square embroidery handkerchiefs. ”

Although Qiu Ju and Dongmei didn't know why Liu Xuan wanted them to do this. But he nodded his head in response. Dongmei asked, "Miss, let's all go and study double-sided embroidery." Who's going to serve the young lady? ”

Liu Xuan smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about this, don't you have four maids in the mansion besides you, let Qingya serve you closely." It's just a few days. You can concentrate on the study of double-sided embroidery, and if you do this well, I will be greatly rewarded, Miss. ”

Qiu Ju and Dongmei were overjoyed, not because they coveted Liu Xuan's reward, but because of Liu Xuan's expectation and faint excitement at the moment, the two of them took the order to retreat and immediately returned to the house to study double-sided embroidery.

Qingya was instructed to come to the study to serve Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan asked him to grind ink on the side, spread out the rice paper and began to paint the pattern, the princess of Xue County in the embroidery workshop has been in full swing on the drawing of women's clothing, Liu Xuan felt that it was not easy to surpass Princess Xue Jun, she had to retreat and hit the idea on the men's clothing.

She remembered the first time Liu Zhiqing took her to Liufu, the sensation caused along the way, and Liu's mother held a banquet for her It was a good opportunity, she could use the influence of Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun and others to make her clothes shop famous in one fell swoop.

This idea is actually very simple, the noblewomen in the capital have a circle of noblewomen, and men naturally have a circle of men, since Princess Xue Jun can make the women's clothes in the Beijing embroidery workshop, then she can also let the clothes of the men in the capital be made in her shop.

When Liu Xuan was concentrating on painting the patterns, Hu Yi and Hu Er had already brought the size she needed, and Hu Yi replied: "When the master handed over the size to his subordinates, there was a word. ”

"Oh?" Liu Xuan looked up at Hu Yi: "What did he say?" ”

"The master asked his subordinates to tell the girl that you need to do it yourself, and the rest of the people can be handed over to the brocade cloth."

The brocade cloth is the clothes shop that was handed over to her.

The corners of Liu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, she just asked Hu Yi to take his body size, he actually guessed what he was going to do, such insight into people's hearts was really a little unpleasant, and what made her even more unhappy was that he actually asked her to make clothes for him by herself! She originally thought that she would hand over all the patterns to Jinyi Spinning after painting them, but now that Li Che gave such an order, she had one more matter.

Although it was unpleasant, Liu Xuan nodded: "I know." ”

As soon as the tiger retreated, Liu Xuan could get busy, Deng Yu had two days to go on the expedition, and Liu Mu's banquet was at most about three days after Deng Yu's expedition, and within these five days, she not only had to paint the clothes of Liu Zhiqing and the four people, but also made clothes for Li Che, and the time was really tight.

Liu Xuan has been busy in the study, fortunately, the first shop she ran when she was in Yizhou was the Splendid Workshop, although the Splendid Workshop is not as good as the clothing shop in the capital, but it was also the best in Yizhou, with the experience of the Splendid Workshop, Liu Xuan's time to draw patterns is also a lot easier.

When it was about to be dinner, Liu Xuan painted the clothes of Liu Zhiqing and the other four, and at this time, Xiao Gong also sent over the information of the experts under the account that Liu Xuan had ordered before, Liu Xuan took it and looked at it roughly, and couldn't help sighing: "There are a lot of capable people under Xiao Gong's account." ”

Xiao Gong touched the mustache of the three sheep and smiled slightly: "The girl's words are wrong, from now on, these people will be the girl's account." ”

Liu Xuan smiled and nodded: "What Gong Xiao said is very true. ”

She handed over the painted clothes to Xiao Gong, leaving Li Che's share, and handed him the dimensions of Liu Zhiqing, Sun Xun and Long Yi, and said: "I also bother Xiao Gong to hand these over to Jinyi Spinning, so that they can rush to make them overnight, and I will see the ready-to-wear clothes in four days at most." ”

Xiao Gong took the pattern and took a look, and his shrewd little eyes flashed: "This pattern was painted by the girl herself?" ”

Liu Xuan should be, Xiao Gong stroked his palm and sighed: "The girl is really a talented person, such an elegant and not expensive man's clothes, it is really an old man who has never seen it in his life, but this dress seems simple, and there are really a lot of dark lines and dark lines, and I am afraid that the three sets of clothes will not be able to be made within three days." ”

"Four days at most, and it must be rushed out within four days." Liu Xuan thought for a while and said: "If there is not enough manpower, increase the manpower, this matter is very important, can you let the brocade spinning and the embroidery workshop go hand in hand, success or failure in one fell swoop." ”

Xiao Gong understood the importance of this matter, and he was a little embarrassed: "The girl doesn't know, this brocade spinning is not a lack of manpower, but there are not many embroiderers who can embroider the patterns painted by the girl. ”

Liu Xuan frowned when she heard this: "How many of these brocade clothes can embroider such patterns?" ”

Xiao Gong thought for a while: "There are only four people at most." ”

Liu Xuan is completely difficult now, there are only four people, these four people to make three sets of clothes in four days is indeed a little insufficient, although the patterns she painted are flat embroidery, but each subtlety to embroider the effect of her painting does take time.

Just when Liu Xuan was in trouble, Qingya, who was originally standing aside and did not open her mouth, suddenly spoke: "The village where the slave and maid are located is the embroidery village, which is famous for having more embroidery girls, many embroidery girls in the village are watching the slaves grow up, and they are more friendly with the slaves and maids. ”

This is the mountain and the water have no way out, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, Liu Xuan immediately said to Qingya: "This is very good, Qingya, you will go back at this moment, it is best to invite the embroidery girls to the brocade tomorrow, if this matter can be done, you will help me a lot." ”

Qingya hurriedly said: "It's Qingya's business to share the girl's worries. ”

Liu Xuan said thank you, and was not more polite than Qingya, and turned to Xiao Gong: "The embroidery girl brought by Qingya tomorrow will also ask Xiao Gong to give more wages and silver taels, if you can persuade them to stay in Jinyifang, it would be great." ”

Xiao Gong nodded: "The old man is awake." ”

After the order, Qingya and Xiao Gong immediately went out of the house to get busy, Liu Xuan put down one thing in her heart and relaxed a lot, she simply used some food in the study, and went to Qiu Ju and Dongmei's room to look at them, and saw that the two of her double-sided embroidery had already started, and pointed out one or two, and then returned to the room.
