"County Lord Mo Qi, this is not a matter of one or two days." Fang Ruo couldn't cry or laugh, who is not like this, after all, there are many industries in his hands, and there is no guarantee that every shopkeeper is loyal, where can he be all-encompassing.

Tong Yan calmed down, Fang Ruo was right, this is not a matter of one or two days, if there is a sudden change of blood, it will inevitably cause the entire shop to collapse, or step by step. And when the water is clear, there are no fish, if it is not too much, it is better to keep it first.

Fang Ruo saw that Tong Yan's face soothed, and said with a smile, "I remember that there are a few good Zhuangzi in the marriage, there is a place dedicated to planting melons, fruits, peaches and plums, and there are many water and springs, which is very suitable for summer recuperation, and there is also a Zhuangzi surrounded by mountains, with a dragon, and there are hot springs, it is best to go when it is cold in winter, and they are not far from here, and it only takes two hours to take a carriage." ”

Tong Yan nodded with interest.

When the sun set in the west, Cheng Huai returned.

He entered the courtyard in high spirits, and when he saw the maid going to the backyard to report, he did not stop it, but bent the corners of his lips and slowed down.

Slowly walked to the door of the main room, and did not see Tong Yan's shadow, Cheng Huai coughed heavily twice and pushed the door open.

I saw that there was a light in the room, and Tong Yan was sitting in front of the long case, taking a booklet and looking at it carefully.

The warm candlelight shone on her well-defined cheeks, a little more hazy and soft, and a few strands of hair hanging from her ears fell on her neck, glowing with a faint golden light.

Cheng Huai also softened, stared softly for a moment, and then slowly walked to her side, poked his head to see what book she was reading, and looked so engrossed.

A large shadow fell, Tong Yan noticed it, and raised her head to look at the visitor in a daze.

Her eyes brightened, and she smiled at Cheng Huai.

Looking at her crooked eyebrows, Cheng Huai also laughed, raised his hand to stroke the broken hair that fell from the side of her face, and pinned her behind her ears.

"No one came to tell me." Tong Yan complained coquettishly and closed the booklet.

Cheng Huai naturally took the booklet in her hand, "I saw the little maid come over and spread it, you must have been too engrossed, and you didn't pay attention to the perfunctory response." ”

Tong Yan smiled wryly, as if Qingzhi or Jiyue came to knock on the door just now, and she didn't care about what she said.

"Looking at the ledger?" Cheng Huai flipped through it with a smile, and looked at the few booklets on the corner of her desk.

He's not as interesting as a ledger?

Where did Tong Yan know what he was thinking, she snorted and wrinkled her nose, "There are a few shops that are too greasy, and they have to be sorted out." ”

Cheng Huai touched her hair and said lovingly, "Why bother with this, I'll ask Uncle An to deal with it." ”

Uncle An is the steward of Cheng Huai's side and the son of the chief steward of the Guogong Mansion.

The steward's family has been in the Cheng family since several generations ago, and has always been a confidant by Grandpa Guo's side, and even the surname has been given the surname Cheng, and he has been a loyal servant for generations.

If nothing else, after a hundred years of the chief steward, Uncle An will also be the next chief steward of the Guogong Mansion.

Tong Yan shook her head and didn't speak.

After all, she still has to be the head of the house, even if these things can be handed over to her subordinates in the future, she can't be smeared with both eyes, and she still has to do it herself.

Cheng Huai didn't ask why, and kissed her forehead with a smile.

Looking at the reddened cheeks of the person in his arms, he sighed sincerely and said, "Tong Yan, I'm hungry." ”

The small kitchen had already prepared the meal, and by the time the two of them moved to the side hall, dinner was already on the table.

Tong Yan put a chopstick chicken nugget into Cheng Huai's bowl.

Cheng Huai glanced at her in surprise, first picked up the porridge and drank two sips, before picking up the piece of chicken and putting it in his mouth.

Looking at Cheng Huai's unpredictable expression, Tong Yan burst out laughing.

Cheng Huai spit out the bones, and quickly took two bites of rice, only to ease up, and said with a smile, "Why is it so spicy?" ”

Tong Yan also took a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, and said painfully and intoxicatedly, "Well, I ate this at noon, there is such a good cook hidden in this yard, you are really a waste." ”

The spicinessness is moderate, and it tastes quite refreshing and appetizing, Cheng Huai couldn't help but grab another pair of chopsticks, and nodded while eating, "It's really good, the good cook you said is Zhu Niangzi?" ”

Tong Yan nodded.

Cheng Huai was stunned, and recalled abruptly, "I vaguely remember that when I was a child, my aunt liked to eat spicy food, and said that when she was pregnant with me, she liked spicy food, and people said that she must have given birth to a daughter, and my father was so happy, he liked girls." However, as a result, I was pregnant in October and gave birth to me, and my mother said that at the beginning, my father saw me wrinkled in swaddling clothes, and said disgusted, Look at this boy's ugly, how good it would be if it was a girl. ”

Tong Yan listened, put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth and laughed, but she didn't expect Cheng Huai to be disliked sometimes.

"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Huai couldn't help laughing, and said, "Later, when I was full moon, it gradually opened, and my father didn't think I was ugly, so he was willing to hug me." ”

Tong Yan held back a smile, picked up the chopsticks and sat upright, "I can't speak, I can't even eat well after a while." ”

The two stopped talking, and each finished their meal honestly.

In a few days, it will be the Buddha Bathing Festival, and when Wu waited for noon, he sent a maid to call Tong Yan and let her go over to talk.

The maid who came to pass the word also said that not only Tong Yan was called, but also the wives of several other rooms.

It seems that she is going to stay there to eat.

Tong Yan tidied up slightly, and then took Qingzhi and Ji Yue over.

She went very early, but when she arrived, the Zhao family was already there, talking to the Wu family with a smile, as soon as she heard Tong Yan walk to the door, she came over and took her hand in person, led her in, and asked, how are you doing these days, are you still used to living, if you are not used to it, you must tell the elders,

I didn't know and thought it was her mother, but they just met for the second time.

Tong Yan is not rejected, Zhao is an extroverted person, and he can always make the atmosphere very lively, but a little like the enthusiastic lady when she was in Feng County before.

Wu also smiled and asked Tong Yan to sit down, and handed the brother he was holding in his hand to the nurse, signaling the nurse to go down.

Soon the fourth lady also came over and greeted them with a smile.

Tong Yan hurriedly stood up and saluted her, where did the fourth wife dare to accept it, she hurriedly supported her, asked her to sit down quickly, and greeted her twice.

The room was lively, and the third lady looked at Tong Yan with a smile, and said to Wu, "Speaking of which, Brother Yu is older than Brother Huai, and he hasn't decided on a relationship yet, but I have to plan carefully, I'm so anxious." ”

Wu and the fourth wife both knew that the third wife had already taken a fancy to the daughters of several families, and they were just waiting to take advantage of the Buddha Bathing Festival to go to the temple to look at each other, so they both smiled and echoed a few times, without saying much.
