The last time I left the palace, I was still chewed on the root of my tongue, and the third master was a troublesome person, so he simply stopped leaving the palace. Today, it's really because the people below got into trouble and involved his family, and he just has to come out this time no matter how troublesome he is.

I made an appointment to meet in this restaurant, and half an hour has passed since the agreed time. The person who met has not yet appeared, and the third master is not a patient person, so he is in a very bad mood.

But if you turn around and go back to the palace at this time, you will probably leave the palace again because of this incident in a few days, which will be even more troublesome. Therefore, although he was unhappy in his heart, the third master still endured it.

It's the same boy who followed him last time. That boy has been with him for some years, and he knows the temper of the third master no better. Seeing him standing by the window with a glass of cold wine and blowing the cold wind, I knew that he was in a very bad mood now. Therefore, he is usually very active, and he doesn't dare to speak at the moment, for fear of annoying the third master.

Tong'er looked at the third master's face, and poked his head out to look downstairs, hoping that the person was on his way to come now, instead of releasing the third master's pigeon! was looking for it, and suddenly saw two somewhat familiar figures.

Tong Er has a good memory, and immediately remembered that the two were one of the Miss Xu family and the two maids she met outside the Xinglin Medical Center last month. Tong'er still remembers that his master went to the little girl to ask for a branch of plum, and the plum blossom was brought back to the palace and bottled in a net bottle of mutton fat and white jade, and it was placed on the sandalwood table for more than ten days before there were signs of failure, and it was put for another five days, and the flowers on it withered, and it was put for another five days. There is no aroma at all.

So, Tong'er cautiously pointed outside to show the third master: "Isn't that the Miss Xu family we met last time, what a coincidence!" ”

The third master turned his head to look. Sure enough, it was the fifth lady of the Xu family. She's still wrapped up like last time, but she looks a little bigger than last time. The little lady has always cherished her appearance and figure, and she will not allow herself to gain so much weight in such a short period of time, so she should have worn a lot of thick clothes in her cloak...... Are you so afraid of the cold?

And when she saw that she was talking to her fat maid, her face was very strange, so she listened carefully, and heard her say that she was going to give her maid a promise...... She is still a little lady herself. Speaking of this, there is a head.

They thought that no one heard, but they didn't know that for people who practiced martial arts, hearing has always been very good. From such a distance, he could not hear it completely, but he could also hear it vaguely.

They didn't know it, so their eyes kept falling on her. Who knew that she was not bad at vigilance. I even noticed his gaze! Her maid seemed to recognize him, too.

Tong'er became even more arrogant after discovering that his master was peeping. couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then looked downstairs, he saw a son-in-law with a face like a crown of jade who looked two points similar to his own master, followed by four or five family members, and hurriedly reminded his master: "Third master, someone is here." ”

The wine glass in the third master's hand was casually placed on the windowsill, and then he turned around and glanced at the visitor, with a mocking look on his face. A pair of eyes, how ruthless and ruthless they are. When his gaze fell on the man's face, he felt a wave of disgust.

The person who came frowned, and then said with a smile: "It's been a long time." ”

The shopkeeper of Jinxiuzhuang and the shopkeeper of Liangbu Pavilion were almost the shopkeepers of the silk village under Xu Qirong's name at the same time, and the difference between the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of Qiu was that the shopkeeper was dug by Gao Bo from someone else's shop.

The shopkeeper is more sleek than the shopkeeper Qiu, and he is also so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, but the shopkeeper can immediately leave the guests and entertain the owner first.

As soon as Xu Qirong sat down, the shopkeeper ordered someone to serve tea, and then held a stack of account books in his hand, and said to Xu Qirong: "Miss, the weather is not good today, and I'm afraid it will snow later, so the small one sorted out the account book and categorized it. So as not to delay the young lady's time too much. ”

In fact, Shopkeeper Qiu also sorted out and classified the account books, but he didn't say anything. If you change to a big boss and don't see it, I'm afraid that with this, the impression of the shopkeeper will be better than that of the shopkeeper.

It's just that the weather is really bad, Xu Qirong pursed his lips, and said to the shopkeeper: "That is the case, then let's hurry up, the customers in the store are also in a hurry to buy things and go home, and we can't delay them." ”

And then I really looked at the account book seriously. It was much faster than in Liangbu Pavilion, but in half an hour, Xu Qirong had already come out of Jinxiu Village with Qiu Nong.

Xu Qirong turned his head to see that the shopkeeper had already gone to compensate the guests he had neglected with a smile on his face.

Qiu Nong glanced at Xu Qirong's line of sight, frowned, and said to Xu Qirong: "Girl, this shopkeeper is inevitably a little too lively. It means that the shopkeeper is too stubborn, but does not pay attention to the business of the store.

Xu Qirong is a person who has lived a lifetime, although she has not done these things in her previous life, but after marrying into the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, no one cares about her, and she is not regarded as the wife of the prince. There was only an old housekeeper in the department, and seeing that she was pitiful, he secretly taught her some housekeeper methods.

The shopkeeper and the housekeeper are actually similar.

Therefore, Xu Qirong felt that Qiu Nong's view was a little too superficial, and explained: "Everyone has their own different way of doing things. For example, this shopkeeper, you think that he left his guests to entertain us, because he is too good at drilling the side door of the camp, but in fact, it is not. How much time did it take us to get out of the door? Have we done it properly? In Liangbu Pavilion, we spent a total of two hours. As soon as we left, the shopkeeper immediately went to apologize to the guests who were neglected, not really not taking business to heart. ”

Qiu Nong still didn't believe it: "In the end, I still stammered with the girl." ”

Hearing Qiu Nong's words, Xu Qirong couldn't help but be happy: "I am the owner, he begs for a living under my hands, shouldn't I beg for it?" Besides, it's really snowing on this day. ”

Qiu Nong looked up at the sky, and hurriedly said: "Girl, you stand here for a while, I'll go and ask the coachman to drive the carriage over, don't move, the wind will pour into your body as soon as you move, and then you will shout cold again." ”

It was simply at the gate of his own splendid village, and nothing would happen if he stood for a while, so Xu Qirong nodded and agreed, waiting for Qiu Nong to go to Liangbu Pavilion and ask the coachman to drive the carriage over.

Xu Qirong stomped his feet, his nose was red from the cold, and he suddenly remembered the person by the window of the restaurant opposite just now, so he looked up again and found that there was no such person. I couldn't help but feel a little funny, she thought that there were people in this world who were not afraid of the cold!

Not long after, the coachman drove the carriage over, Qiu Nong hurriedly helped Xu Qirong into the carriage, there were a few small heaters in the carriage, and after going out for so long, there was no temperature, but it was stronger than the outside.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Xu Qirong couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

Finally finished calculating the accounts of those shops and granges under his name, and Xu Qirong was about to start busy with New Year's goods again. Fortunately, the list of Xu Qijin Lane last year is still there, and there is no big difference between this year and last year, Xu Qirong only needs to add or delete according to last year's list.

Naturally, you don't need her little lady to buy things in person, the list is listed, and the manpower is allocated, so naturally there are people to prepare. All she had to do was ask them from time to time how they were ready.

It's the first time to personally manage these things, but it's much smoother than last year's Xu Qijin, almost everything, and there is no mistake.

Shen Anjia couldn't help but take Xu Qirong's hand and sighed: "The girls in our family are stronger than the other, and it is rumored outside, the young ladies of the Xu family are more than one straw bale, only the second miss and the fifth miss are extremely outstanding and capable!" ”

Xu Qirong couldn't help laughing and said: "If my uncle and grandmother know this, I don't know how to be angry!" ”

Shen An's heart is very unkind to see Mrs. Guo, she thinks that the eldest master and the fourth master should call her aunt, but she treats the big house and the four rooms differently, which is really a little too much. Hearing Xu Qirong say this, he smiled and said: "People will be angry, it's better to let her take this year's share, lest she be angry next year!" ”

Xu Qirong naturally no longer has any feelings for Mrs. Guo in her heart, in her previous life, she persuaded herself to jump into the fire pit, in this life, in addition to calculating the jewels and belongings in the hands of their sisters, she has not had any kind feelings towards their sisters.

So he said: "Mother Shen's words are extremely true. ”

got Xu Qirong's approval, and Shen An's family was in a good mood.

Because Old Master Xu Si refused to go back to Ruyi Lane to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion year, Princess Pingtai could not leave Xu Ting to enter this room on Chinese New Year's Eve to join the reunion year on this side of Zhuangyuan Lane, so the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Princess Pingtai came to Zhuangyuan Lane first, and everyone had a meal together, which was considered a reunion year.

Taking this opportunity, Princess Pingtai deliberately asked the big girl next to her, Yinli, to send something to the Qi family next door, saying that it was a New Year's gift.

After a while, Miss Qi brought her personal maid to thank her.

Princess Pingtai wanted to take this opportunity to see Miss Qi, and Miss Qi probably felt the attention of Princess Pingtai, changed into brand new clothes, her hair was raised high, and the whole person looked extremely energetic. When greeting Princess Pingtai, he was polite and courteous, behaved moderately, and had some trepidation and flattery.

Overall it looks pretty good.

Princess Pingtai withdrew a pair of jade bracelets from her wrist and gave them to Miss Qi, saying that it was a meeting gift for the younger generation.

Miss Qi's face turned red all of a sudden, this was not the first time she had seen Princess Pingtai, although Princess Pingtai had come to Zhuangyuan Lane less often, she had also met it four or five times. This is a welcome gift.

Xu Qirong understood what Princess Pingtai meant, when they met before, they didn't see Miss Qi as a junior, but this time, they saw Miss Qi as a junior.

Naturally, it's time to give a gift to the younger generation. (To be continued......)
