In the clothing store on Zhenhaimen Street, Liu Minyou is busy, Chen Xin has been gone for more than a month, in Liu Minyou's view, now there are shops and boats, live their lives with peace of mind, and when it is time to leave, they will go to Taiwan or Ryukyu, which is also a lifetime.

Shen Li wrote the card carefully next to her, now she is in charge of the production plan, Zhou Laifu's wife greets guests, Lao Cai is still the bookkeeper, Lu You is responsible for warehouse materials and miscellaneous work, in fact, Liu Min has the most shortage of tailors, but Chen Xin'an has so many people, the burden is too heavy, Liu Min has no choice but to ask Zhou Laifu to do night work at night.

"This damn Chen Xin, I don't even have a tailor in this clothing store." Liu Min scolded fiercely in his heart, the weather is already very cold now, the dress is about to be sold, Liu Min has hollowed out, according to the memory of the design of several cotton clothes and windbreakers, I didn't expect the sales to be quite good, especially some businessmen, the windbreaker is very like, this month and sold nearly two hundred, this Lan brand clothing store began to have a lot of repeat customers, in Tianjin's middle class has some reputation. Liu Min is ruthless, and he still plans to recruit a full-time tailor, otherwise the efficiency will be too low.

"Owner, here's this month's summary table, you see." Shen Li came over and said softly, handed over a piece of paper, Liu Min took it and looked at it, this Shen Li was originally an official lady, she could write, and she learned things quickly, just like that hob meat Deng Keshan, she quickly learned two-dimensional forms, and her abacus was also good, if it weren't for Chen Xin's arrangement of a redundant Lao Cai, she could directly serve as the account room.

"I earned eighty-three taels this month, which is still good." Liu Minyou looked at the performance, nodded with satisfaction, and made up his mind to recruit a full-time tailor, the best is Zhou Laifu, he planned to go back to talk to Zhou Laifu in the evening.

Shen Li said softly: "Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, the five pieces of clothes that have taken the Qu family on Hemen Street are ready, or you can send them in the afternoon." ”

Zhou Laifu's wife ignored it, Shen Li's face was slightly red, he didn't speak, and went to tell Lao Cai and Lu You about the materials to prepare, Lao Cai didn't have a good face, Shen Li lowered his head and sat down at the table after speaking.

Liu Min sighed in his heart, because Shen Lou was noisy on Erdao Street every day, saying that Shen Li was shameless, which made the neighborhood somewhat rumorous, mainly because he suspected Liu Minyou, and even Lu You's wife was a little suspicious of Lu You, but she didn't dare to say it, but she often ran to the door of the store to look secretly, Zhou Laifu's wife didn't have this concern, but she just felt that Liu Minyou shouldn't let this woman come to the store, she originally wanted to say goodbye to Liu Minyou, but the two families listened to Shen Lou's noise and stopped doing it. Lao Cai felt that this woman was too capable, and it was likely to rob him of his job in the account, so everyone didn't want to see Shen Li.

This Shen Li herself knows that she is excluded, but Shen Lou's mother is in charge of letting her work, and now her family is pointing to her with this little monthly money to live, so she is also cautious in the store, for fear of offending people. Liu Min was afraid of causing some unnecessary trouble, so he wanted to dismiss her several times, but he felt that she was pitiful and couldn't say anything.

So the two of them were cautious, they never met alone in the store, or even outside, and the two didn't speak, the more so, the more awkward Liu Minyou felt, and Shen Li didn't dare to look at him every time he talked to him. But after getting along for a long time, Liu Minyou feels that this woman is very capable, can read and settle accounts, learns everything quickly, and knows how to match clothes. Moreover, the appearance is still very beautiful.

Liu Minyou secretly glanced at it, it was indeed beautiful and very attractive. It's just that he is often beaten by Shen Lou, and he either has a panda eye on his face, or a bag on his forehead, and he looks haggard every day, which affects his appearance.

"Domestic violence." Liu Minyou made a definition, he had never seen Shen Lou, this person had a broken leg and basically didn't go out, so Liu Minyou sketched an appearance similar to Feng Yuanzheng in his mind.

Liu Minyou was a little distracted, stared for a long time, then Shen Li seemed to be aware, looked up, and just met Liu Minyou's eyes, Liu Minyou hurriedly dodged, Shen Li's face was red, and he quickly buried his head so as not to be seen.

"Owner, this batch of goods has been inspected, do you want to take a look at it again." It happened that Lu You came over to interrupt, and Liu Minyou took the opportunity to go to the side to inspect the goods, avoiding this embarrassment.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the gate, and Zhang Dahui's voice came in: "Brother Liu, I'm back." ”

Liu Minyou heard this, and ran out happily, and saw Zhang Dahui standing at the door with a happy face, "Assembly, come in, why have you been there for so long, you Brother Chen." ”

"Let me have a sip of water." Zhang Dayou found a tea bowl by himself, Lu You hurriedly brought a warm pot from the charcoal stove and poured it for him, Zhang Dahui grinned and drank it, and then said to Liu Minyou: "Brother Chen is still behind, I'm afraid it will take two days, he asked me to come back first to prepare some things." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Dahui looked at the other people in the store, pulled Liu Minyou out of the door and whispered: "A hundred sets of red fat jackets, a hundred sets of training uniforms, let you do it first, well, he said to be mighty, the shoulders should be padded with cotton pads, and they should be straight, he said that if you understand, let your clothes be made by your clothing store, and I will go to other places to buy some quilts and food." ”

"Why did he buy so much?"

"Brother Liu, you don't know, Brother Chen is very powerful now, he is now a thousand-level household, and he scolded the eunuchs in the military department, and he is famous in Beijing, and even the teahouse is talking about him. This time, I recruited fifty slender men on the road and wanted to take them to Weihai. ”

"This bastard, it looks like he wants to live in peace." Liu Min gritted his teeth in his heart, Chen Xin tossed such a big move, naturally he didn't want to go to Weihai to live a small life.

"And ......," Zhang Dahui paused, "Brother Chen bought a wife on the road and said that he wanted to be a young grandmother." ”

"Huh?! Bought? It's a crime, no, it's not going to happen. ”

"He said yes, he said he fell in love with the woman."

Liu Min was a little in a daze, he had never thought about buying and selling human beings, his brain was a little bad for a while, the office director went to buy a woman and came back, what was the scene, and asked in a daze: "That woman is as beautiful as a fairy." ”

Zhang Dahui's brows were twisted together, his mouth was tightly closed, and he held back for a while before shaking his head and said, "Brother Liu, when they arrive, you better watch it yourself."

"Huh?!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Two days later, in the courtyard of Erdao Street.

"Oh, this yard is too small, why do you give so much silver to those poor slender men, how good it is to stay and buy a big yard. Look, there's not even a second entry, and you said that if someone comes in the future, I won't be seen. I used to be in that place, but three into the compound, idlers can't enter the back, there is a wall in front of the door, this corridor is also narrow, and ah, this window, how is it only one floor, or two floors are better to use. ”

Xiao Jiahua wore an exaggerated red dress, like a moving red envelope, standing in the courtyard with her head held high, while pointing at the courtyard, Zhang Erhui, Hai Gouzi, Zhang Dahui, Wang Daixi, Liu Minyou, and Lao Cai circled and looked at her stupidly.

Chen Xin only came back today, Lu Donkey and Zhu Guobin took those slender men to stay outside the city, Liu Minyou hurried back to the yard to see Chen Xin's wife, and saw the Xiao Jiahua in front of him.

Liu Minyou looked at the red envelope-like Xiao Jiahua in front of him, and quietly asked Zhang Dahui beside him: "Is she a young lady from any family, how can she understand everything." ”

Zhang Dahui said cautiously: "It's a young lady, maid, so I see a lot and know a lot." ”

"Oh, maid, why is the shelf so big."

Zhang Dahui said: "What is this, the shelf on the road is bigger, and even the donkey cart is carried up by the slender man's wife." ”

"What did Chen Xin allow her to do? Where is he? ”

"Brother Chen is drinking tea in the store."

"Tea? It's good for him to come back with such a young grandmother and hide away by himself. ”

Liu Min walked towards the store angrily, and just after walking a few steps, he was seen by Xiao Jiahua, "Who, you come here." ”

Liu Min saw that Xiao Jiahua seemed to be talking to himself, stopped out of politeness, and said politely to Xiao Jiahua: "Miss Xiao, what do you ......?"

Xiao Jiahua casually interrupted while looking at the house: "You are the housekeeper, don't call Miss Xiao in the future, call you the young grandmother,"

Zhang Dahui saw that it was not good, and hurriedly introduced: "Young grandmother, this is Liu ......"

"Steward Liu, hurry up and help me and my master clean up a main house and come out,"

Wang Daixi saw Liu Minyou standing with a black face, afraid that he would be angry, so he hurriedly came out and said: "Young grandma, I'll help you clean up, this side on the right hand is where Brother Chen used to live, I'll put it away immediately." ”

Xiao Jiahua turned her head to look at the main house, and said suspiciously: "The right side is over there, quickly point it out to me." ”

Wang Daixi went to the door of Chen Xin's room and said, "That's it, young grandmother, don't you take a look." ”

Xiao Jiahua suddenly burst out laughing, "It turns out that my lord lives here, okay, look, the main thing is that the bed should be big, and you don't want to call your big brother in the future, you have to call your master." "Let's go in with Wang Daixi.

Liu Min entered the store with a stomach full of anger, and Chen Xin and Song Wenxian were drinking tea leisurely inside.

"You...... Is this your wife? Liu Minyou was about to scold Chen Xin, but when he saw Song Wenxian present, he endured it again.

Chen Xin saw Liu Minyou and smiled, "Brother Liu, don't come unharmed." ”

Song Wenxian said with a smile: "It's just right that Brother Liu came, I was treated as a housekeeper by Brother Chen's wife along the way, and now I can finally hand over this errand." ”

Liu Minyou said angrily: "When did Director Chen change to a human trafficker, you don't know her, you just look for her to be your wife?" Besides, even if you buy it, you can buy it...... Buy a more reliable one, you go and sue her, I am not your housekeeper, and Wang Daixi is not her maid. ”

Chen Xin was not angry, and said with a smile: "What Brother Liu said is that I am not her father-in-law. ”

"She's gone to clean up the room for the two of you, maybe she has to buy a big bed, that posture is that you have to get married tonight, and you still say it's not your wife?"

"Don't pay attention to her, I don't live in the same room with her, I actually bought her to be a maid." Chen Xin didn't dare to tell Liu Minyou that he was bought as a hostage, otherwise he would have to be scolded to death by Liu Minyou.

"Maid?" Liu Min has a bunch of question marks on his head, "Then why does she say that she is a young grandmother?" ”

Still can't be difficult for Chen Xin: "I see that she is pitiful, she is freezing to death, otherwise how can I buy and sell people, I am also out of kindness, I plan to let her be a maid to serve Zhao Xiang, and she may also be a concubine in the future, I mean it is possible in the future, but after saying a few more words to her, she went around saying that it was my concubine, isn't it, Mr. Song?" ”

Song Wenxian said with a smile: "That's true, but at the moment I am still a maid, so I will be called like a cow by the housekeeper, and when the time comes, I will really become a young grandmother, and I will not dare to come to your door." ”

Chen Xin saw that Song Wenxian helped round the lie, so he had a hand in front of Liu Min, Liu Min heard that Xiao Jiahua almost froze to death, and his heart softened, although this woman is a little weird, but human life is more important than anything else.

Liu Minyou stared at the two of them a few times and said: "I see, I just said how can your vision be so bad, since it is to save people." But you still have to sue her, I am not your housekeeper, and Wang Daixi is not her maid. Liu Minyou left in a huff after speaking.

Song Wenxian said to Chen Xin: "Brother Chen, you seem to be a little afraid of your cousin, what's going on?" ”

Chen Xin smiled bitterly: "I don't know, anyway, I'm a little afraid that he will be long-winded, like an old woman." ”

"But your cousin is right, this Xiao Jiahua is really not like words, Brother Chen, you are really patient, I know why her original owner wants to return her, if I meet this Xiao Jiahua, I will beat her up first, how can I allow her to shout like this, and there is no dignity at all."

"Mr. Song is mighty, but I think this Xiao Jiahua is quite interesting, and shouting every day also relieves boredom."

Song Wenxian was about to continue, when Xiao Jiahua suddenly shouted from the courtyard: "Butler, butler, bring in the rouge I bought." ”

Chen Xin still looks leisurely, anyway, Liu Minyou has already returned to the shop, and he will take Xiao Jiahua away in two days, so she can toss it. Xiao Jiahua screamed a few times and didn't see the housekeeper's figure, and continued to shout in the courtyard.

Song Wenxian was depressed when he heard this, so he had to stand up and say: "Brother Chen's face will not change before the collapse of Mount Tai, and he will definitely be a famous general like Qi Dashuai in the future. ”

Chen Xin smiled and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Song." ”
