Chapter Seventy-Six: I Can Be Responsible for You
"Look at your attentive appearance, can you have half the appearance of a girl's family?" Zhao nodded Xu Jiayi's eyebrows helplessly and sighed.
Zhao did what he said, and specially divided two shops for the two little girls to take care of, asking them to take full charge of the things in the shop, and report to her every month the income and expenditure of the shop and what they learned in it. When Qian saw it, he also stuffed the shop in his hand to Xu Jiayi for two, and Cui Xin also shared one.
In this way, Xu Jiayi and Cui Xin each managed several shops, and they also went from doing nothing all day to being busy, learning all aspects of knowledge, and if there was anything undecided, they went to ask the Zhao family for advice.
Xu Jiayi's four shops sell different things, two sell rouge gouache, one sells ready-to-wear stores, and one slightly larger shop sells jewelry.
In order to have a more comprehensive understanding of these four shops, Xu Jiayi also deliberately went to these four shops accompanied by Cuiyun and Yuanxiang, so that she could know what to do.
I was a little free this day, so I went to visit the Hai family first, the main purpose was to visit the white and tender little milk baby Wang Cong'an.
When Xu Jiayi went, Hai was making a bitter face and forcing himself to drink bird's nest. Although the bird's nest is delicious, it can't resist eating her as a meal every day. Hai's suffered a sin during childbirth, and in the past few months, he has been taking various supplements, and he still has to eat some nourishing things every day to nourish his body.
Seeing her coming, Hai Shi hurriedly put down the soup spoon and wanted to stand up, and the maid Xiao Tao on the side hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her.
Seeing this, Xu Jiayi hurriedly walked two steps into the house and helped the other side of the Hai family to sit down, "Cousin-in-law, your body hasn't been taken care of yet, just sit." ”
Wang Cong'an is only more than two months old now, and as soon as he gets close to him, he can smell the strong milky fragrance, as well as the white and red, delicate and tender skin, so that Xu Jiayi can't help but pinch two handfuls.
Wang Cong'an looked at Xu Jiayi, and kept fluttering his two little hands to Xu Jiayi's side. Seeing Xu Jiayi teasing him, he opened his mouth happily, "Ah...... Ah......" It's just that Wang Cong'an is still young, and when he speaks, he will unconsciously drip saliva, and Hai Shi doesn't feel dirty, and always wipes it clean when the saliva falls out.
Hai Shi glanced at Xu Jiayi and said with a smile, "Yiyi, An An likes you and wants you to hug him." ”
Although Xu Jiayi also wanted to hug him, the little guy was soft, and she didn't understand this, so she was afraid of hurting him, so she didn't dare to take someone over, and only lowered her head and teased him for a while. In the end, he was still young, and after playing for a while, the little milk baby fell asleep.
Hai asked the nurse to hold the little milk baby and go back to sleep first, seeing Xu Jiayi's sad face, she couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you went to see the shop a few days ago, what difficulties did you encounter with this sad face?" Do you want me to help? ”
"Of course, there are difficulties, but this is also a challenge." Xu Jiayi pinched her eyebrows and nodded, if she can't even set up so many shops, how will she be the housewife in charge of the feed in the future. Seeing that Hai's was indeed worried, he briefly explained the situation, "I have been to these four shops, and the business of the two rouge stores is good, but the ready-to-wear stores and jewelry stores have a dismal source of customers, and not many people enter the stores to see them all day, let alone the transaction volume." ”
Hai nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "Then have you found the cause of the problem?" ”
"Not yet," Xu Jiayi shook her head, "I'll go to the shop in two days to take a look, maybe I can find the problem." ”
She didn't go to the shop to see it in person, and she didn't know what the situation was, so she could only tell Xu Jiayi about her experience. There are several reasons for the lack of customers, the number of customers is probably because the store is not well-known, and the things in the store are not good enough, after all, customers buy things nothing more than want a good price.
Xu Jiayi's originally mushy mind instantly cleared up, and suddenly she thought of something. It's just that the thought flashed through her mind, and she couldn't remember it when she wanted to think about it.
After talking to Hai Shi for a while, Xu Jiayi said goodbye and left, and when she passed by the garden, she saw that the peach tree by the lake had bloomed a few peach blossoms, Xu Jiayi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the pink and tender stamens stood in the wind, so she thought about picking a few peach blossoms and going back to raise them in a vase.
Yuan Xiang glanced at it and persuaded aloud, "Girl, why don't you go to the pavilion over there to rest for a while, and the slave will go and pick a few peach blossoms for you?" ”
Xu Jiayi glanced at the pavilion and nodded.
When I approached the pavilion, I found that there was already a person sitting inside, and the back of the figure was somewhat similar to Chu Changfeng. Xu Jiayi's footsteps paused slightly, and she subconsciously turned her head and wanted to leave, but it was too late.
"One-to-one?"
Xu Jiayi paused, could only smile and retreat and bow down, "Uncle Cousin." ”
"Why did you leave when you saw me?"
"Is my cousin here looking at the scenery?"
The two spoke in unison.
As soon as the words fell, both of them were stunned.
Cuiyun lowered her eyes and followed behind Xu Jiayi, only feeling that the aura between the two was a little strange.
Xu Jiayi only felt that the whole atmosphere was a little embarrassing, since she had a skin-to-skin relationship with Chu Changfeng on the day her cousin got married, she began to avoid him intentionally or unintentionally, and it was too coincidental to meet today. She didn't know what Chu Changfeng was thinking, anyway, she didn't dare to look at him anymore.
Catching a glimpse of a plate of pastries on the stone table, Xu Jiayi reached out and took a piece of pastry and pinched it in her hand, pretending to be surprised, "This pastry is quite delicious, Cuiyun, let someone send some to Jiaxi Garden later." ”
Cuiyun looked at Xu Jiayi pinching the pastries in her hand that she hadn't eaten yet, and only felt that the corners of her eyes twitched, and she couldn't bear to look directly at her girl's IQ, this reason was too bad. His face was silent, and he answered, "Yes, the slave will go to the kitchen and say something." ”
As he spoke, he was about to go to the kitchen, but as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Xu Jiayi again, "Wait, I'll go with you, it just so happens that the kitchen has developed any new snacks these days." ”
"Then cousin, I'll take my leave first." Xu Jiayi lowered her eyes and saluted, and hurriedly walked away with Cuiyun. When passing by Chu Changfeng, Chu Changfeng reached out and grabbed Xu Jiayi's wrist, saw that she was straightened and bent the corners of his lips, and whispered in her ear, "Actually, you don't have to hide from me, I can be responsible for you, as long as you say it." ”
After finishing speaking, he let go of Xu Jiayi's hand, and stood to the side pretending that nothing had happened, waiting for Xu Jiayi's answer. His voice was extremely low, and even Cuiyun, who was following behind Xu Jiayi, didn't hear what Changfeng said to her girl clearly.
Xu Jiayi paused, didn't dare to look back, and ran away in a panic with Cuiyun in tow.
Looking at Xu Jiayi's back as she almost ran away, her eyes fell on the pastry on the stone table, she took a piece and put it in her mouth and took a bite, she couldn't help laughing, "It's delicious." ”
As soon as Cui Xin came over, he looked at Xu Jiayi's back as he broke free from Chu Changfeng's restraint and left, and Chu Changfeng's eyes were almost glued to Xu Jiayi's body, his eyes flashed slightly. I wanted to catch up with Xu Jiayi, but I was afraid of etiquette, so I first bowed to Chu Changfeng, "Chu Shizi ......"
Hearing her voice, Chu Changfeng turned his head to look at Cui Xin, and interrupted her in a loud voice, "Don't be so polite, in the future, you will be the same as Yiyi, just call me 'cousin'." ”
Cui Xin glanced at the direction Xu Jiayi left, her eyes flashed, as if she had no intention, "Then do you want to call Chu Shizi 'brother-in-law' directly in the future?" ”
"Okay." Chu Changfeng didn't think about it, and immediately nodded.
Cui Xin's face suddenly became ugly, and he raised his voice and scolded lightly, "You are really uneasy and kind to Sister Yiyi. ”
Chu Changfeng was stunned for a while before he realized that he had been tricked by Cui Xin.
On weekdays, I look at this little girl quietly, but I didn't expect that there would be such a dark belly. After being stunned, Chu Changfeng covered his lips and coughed lightly and said, "I didn't hear what you said just now, and I answered a little quickly." What did you just say? ”
Cui Xin bit her lip and stared at Chu Changfeng's eyes, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she wanted to see more clearly. Chu Changfeng has always had a different attitude towards Sister Yiyi, she felt that something was wrong before, but she never thought about it in this regard, until she looked at Chu Changfeng's eyes when she looked at Sister Yiyi, which was exactly the same as Qian Feng's brother-in-law looked at Sister Yunxiu's cousin, and she guessed in her heart.
But she just lied to him, but she didn't expect him to really have this idea.
But looking at Sister Yiyi avoiding him, it was obvious that she didn't have that idea for her.
Thinking like this, Cui Xin's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he said in a trembling voice, "Men and women are not at the same table at the age of three, and I also ask Chu Shizi to pay attention to his identity." If you are really interested in Sister Yiyi, you should also take care of Sister Yiyi's reputation before acting. It's just me who is looking at it today, and if it's the one who likes to chew on the root of his tongue......"
Chu Changfeng was stunned for a while, and then he understood that this little girl was warning him for Xu Jiayi, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart. I didn't expect that little girl to babble, and a cousin who thought about her so much, so she nodded seriously, "What you said was that I was negligent." ”
"I speak a little bluntly, if there is anything that offends Chu Shizi, please forgive Chu Shizi." Cui Xin was blessed and retired, she was going to find Xu Jiayi, but it was not good to pass at this time, so she could only turn around and go back tomorrow.
At the beginning of April, the weather that was still warm became cold again due to the rain for several days, Xu Jiayi didn't pay attention to the cold for a while, and added clothes at night, and fell ill directly at night.
When Cuiyun, who was keeping vigil, was sleeping grogily, she felt someone push her, and then she heard Yuanxiang's anxious voice ringing in her ears, "Cuiyun, don't fall asleep, the girl is not good." ”
Cuiyun woke up from her sleep in an instant, sat up from the bed suddenly, and asked loudly as she put on her shoes and walked into the inner room, "What's wrong with the girl?" ”
