Mrs. Li smiled: "The clothes don't fit, I can't wear them, and I really like it in my heart, I am also happy to wear it on others, it is better than putting it there to be ashes and worrying about my heart." ”

Where did Liu Xinchun not know what Mrs. Li meant? Take it gratefully.

Li Chongming remembered Liu Xinchun's words, and asked, "You just said, are you a merchant?" ”

Liu Xinchun replied respectfully: "It's just a small vendor in the corner." ”

"How's business?"

Speaking of this, Liu Xinchun's smile rose, sighed, and said, "Don't mention it, business is not good." He turned his head to look at his wife, who was working hard outside the door, and touched the child's thin and meatless face, with a guilty smile on his face, "I get up earlier than the chickens in the morning, sleep later than the dogs, and only rest for two hours a day, but ...... As you can see, I still can't change my poor fate. ”

Li Chongming saw the grasshopper that was halfway braided on the table and put it down.

Liu Xinchun followed his gaze and said: "The profit that these gadgets can bring every day is only enough for our expenses for one day, and if we stop for a day, our family will not be able to sustain it." Now I have been resting at home for more than three days due to sun sickness, and what little savings I have left have been squandered for a long time. Hey, it's hard for my wife and children. ”

He once thought about remarrying his wife, but she was a sentimental person and didn't want to say anything: "The world always says that businessmen are treacherous, valuing profits and ignoring feelings, but how do they know that businessmen have no intentions? ”

Li Chongming withdrew his gaze and said, "Since business is not good, it is better to go to someone else's house to do long-term work." ”

Liu Xinchun touched the child's head and was silent.

Liu walked in, happened to hear it, sighed and said: "Originally, I went to sell these gadgets, and I went to other people's homes to do long-term work in the New Year, and I could get one or two hundred wen a month." Later, I saw that Liying Shengxiang was recruiting, and only a small worker had one or two taels of silver a month! I made a fuss about letting the New Year come back, sell some things and see the children, who knows......"

Speaking of this past, Liu's face was full of remorse, and his hands clutched his dress tightly.

She laughed, separated the matter, beckoned them to go out to eat, and said, "I fried sour wild vegetables today, Lord Li and Mrs. Li will try it." ”

Today, there are distinguished guests in the house, and Liu deliberately uses white rice.

Li Chongyang picked up a chopstick in the eager eyes of the husband and wife, and the bitter and astringent taste filled his throat, he almost vomited, and hurriedly took a sip of rice soup to dissipate the astringency in his throat.

"Mrs. Liu's craftsmanship is very good." Li Chongyang praised a sentence, put down the chopsticks, and mentioned the matter of Liying Shengxiang, "Liying Shengxiang and Tianyifang have been short of people recently, why don't you give it a try?" ”

Liu Xinchun and his wife glanced at each other, their faces were ugly, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.

Mrs. Li lightly touched Li Chongyang's big. legs, glared at him, and said: "If it's inconvenient to say, don't force it, the husband just asked casually." ”

"No, not reluctantly!" Liu said hurriedly.

Under the gaze of Li Chongyang and his wife, she bit her lower lip hard, her eyes were firm, and she made up her mind, and said: "Liying Shengxiang has angered the Chamber of Commerce, and the people above have passed down a notice that no one is allowed to apply for a job at Liying Shengxiang. ”

Li Chongyang sneered and said, "A small team forgotten by the first emperor has such great authority? ”

Liu Xinchun said: "The Daliang Dynasty values agriculture over business, and it is normal not to know about the Chamber of Commerce. This is where all of us must join, and we must obey all the commands of the Chamber of Commerce, which is the lifeblood of the merchants. However, there are very few merchants who can really be recognized by the Chamber of Commerce and admit that they belong to the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Li Chongyang was surprised in his heart.

He only knew that there was a place for the Chamber of Commerce, and the president, Lin Haisheng, was a simple man, and the businessmen had been carried out in an orderly manner under his management over the years.

There are so many things to deal with in the Great Liang Dynasty, since there are people who deal with the affairs of merchants, no one has ever taken care of them, until Xiao Changting ascended the throne, and this is the first time that the treaty of the Chamber of Commerce has been modified.

Seeing that Li Chongyang was thoughtful, Li Xinchun said again: "The little girl doesn't know the backing forces behind the Chamber of Commerce, and she will have an accident sooner or later if she touches the stone with an egg." If we go against the orders of the Chamber of Commerce and go to Xin Mu Yuan, after the collapse of Beauty Shadow Shengxiang, the Chamber of Commerce will be the first to clean up the mutineers. ”

The owner of Beauty Shadow is arrogant and unrestrained. Today, Fu Bo, who cleaned up the Chamber of Commerce in Yamen, officially declared war with the Chamber of Commerce.

Li Chongyang twisted his eyebrows, and then thought that Xin Muyuan kept persuading him to take a look at the people at the bottom of the merchants, and persuaded him to cooperate with her, and seemed to understand her purpose.

I am afraid that she wants to borrow the hand of the imperial court to break the current stalemate with the Chamber of Commerce, find a way to live for herself, and also provide a clear way for the people.

The silver money of the second tael of January, I have to say that Xin Muyuan's hand is indeed generous, which is more than the minimum monthly money taken by the palace maid.

After eating, Li Chongyang went back with his wife thoughtfully, and lay on the bed and thought about it. Night.

Outskirts.

Xin Muyuan grabbed the grass and rolled over from the thick branches, Xie Zhan followed closely, helped her press the hem of her skirt, and said in a muffled voice: "Girls' families, don't climb high and low." ”

Xin Muyuan dodged away, disapprehended, and asked with a smile: "How is this scene?" ”

Xie Zhan looked at his empty hand and said, "There are many loopholes. ”

Xin Muyuan looked back at him, "Phew", spit out the fine grass in his mouth, raised his arms and swaggered home, half a point without a girl's appearance.

Xie Zhan followed behind her, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

That's fine, no one looks down on her. Even if you don't agree to him, you can only marry him until you are old.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhan was in a good mood, and there was a smile on the tips of his eyes and eyebrows.

After sending Xin Muyuan back to Qinxin Garden, the sky had already darkened, the pale yellow stars were covered with dark blue night, and the candles in Xie Mansion were bright.

Xie Zhan pushed open the door, woke up the waiting guards, hurriedly stood on both sides, and said, "Shizi, Madam is waiting in the upper room of the main courtyard." ”

"Okay, I got it." Xie Zhan answered, and walked towards the main courtyard with candles full of gardens.

The Duchess of the Protector sat on the main seat, resting her arms on the armrests and resting her head to rest.

"Mother." Xie Zhan saluted respectfully.

The Duchess of the Protector opened her eyes lazily, her eyes were full of anger, and she said unhappily: "You still know to come back!" ”

Xie Zhan walked over and squatted beside her, and said softly: "This is Er's home, and Er's will naturally come back." ”

The Duchess of the Protector sneered: "It's a shame for you to remind me that this is your home, otherwise I would think that Na Li Ying Shengxiang is where you belong!" Xie Zhan, see for yourself what time it is now! What's the difference between this and not returning home at night! If you don't want to go back to this home, don't go back at all! ”
