243 At this time, the emperor had not yet opened the court, but some yamen in the court were already in operation.

Li Hehui is always a royal family, and there are more ways than Suqian and Xu Erlang, so he also received the news as soon as possible, and Xu Erlang's official document came down.

The place to go is the opposite of the bustling and lively capital, which is desolate and barbaric, almost equivalent to an uncivilized place. It is located in the northeast of the capital, and the land is covered with heavy snow for at least four months of the year.

How do you make a political performance in such a place? That's hard to beat!

Li Hehui was anxious, and after getting the news, he went to find Xu Erlang as soon as possible.

He said, "Don't you want to go to Yizhou?" Your Majesty values you, according to your ability, if you want to go to Yizhou, you must go? So why is it now River State? Hezhou is desolate, the climate is cold, and the man with a lot of firepower wears a mink fur and is still sad to survive the winter......"

Is Li Hehui worried about Xu Erlang? There is a little, but he is more worried about Pianpian and distressed.

Xu Erlang said last time that he intended to take Pian Pian with him, if it was a rich and gentle township like Yizhou, it would be just such a desolate and barbaric place, Pian Pian and delicate like a delicate flower that has not gone through wind and rain, how can she bear it?

The more Li Hehui wanted to breathe, the more he was short of breath, but Xu Erlang was still unhurried. He said, "I did want to go to Yizhou, but too many people didn't want me to go, so I had to change places." ”

"Then you can't change to Hezhou."

Xu Erlang glanced at Li Hehui, but didn't say anything about it. It's hard for him to say that the place in Hezhou really wasn't his choice. Originally, after listening to Jin Niang's words, he decided to abandon Yizhou and choose Jinzhou, Jinzhou is far less prosperous than Yizhou, the good thing is that it is close to the capital, but unfortunately, someone wants to teach him a lesson, so he chose Hezhou for him.

River State, there are mines!

Since he didn't dare to think about it at such a high level, but since someone sent this matter to his door, he had no reason to refuse.

As for being covered with heavy snow for four months a year, this is indeed a true thing, but according to what Jin Niang said, you have to look at two sides of things, which is not only a disadvantage, but also a bad thing?

The matter has become a foregone conclusion, Xu Erlang has no intention of turning around, Li Hehui finally lost his soul and left the Xu Mansion, and the whole person was very depressed.

Xu Chong happened to have a meeting with Li Hehui when he came back from the barracks, and he thought that this was who was sleepwalking in his dream, but after seeing the person's appearance clearly, he was lying down, whose walking corpse was this, why did he come to his house?

Li Hehui returned the salute and left, leaving Xu Chong staring at his back in confusion.

He had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and he thought that since Li Hehui was leaving now, the eighty percent of the eldest brother was still in the flower hall where the guests were feasting, so he ran to the flower hall.

Xu Erlang was about to go back to Cuibai Garden, but he was arrested by Xu Chong.

"Coming back?"

Xu Chong touched his head and smiled excitedly, "Isn't it, grandma has a leg, and she won't let me go home for the New Year, it's almost the Lantern Festival, so I let me come back for two days to visit relatives." Mother's barracks is inhumane, thanks to the second brother, you didn't join the army before, otherwise how would you live this day. ”

Xu Erlang let out a sigh and walked towards Cuibai Garden.

Xu Chong followed behind and roared urgently, "Second brother, I had a meeting with Master Li when I first came, Lord Li looked like he had been hit, what happened to him?" "What did you say to scare people like that?

Of course, Xu Chong only read a sentence in his heart, and didn't dare to ask, for fear that his brother would beat him, and even more afraid that his second brother would give him another cold snort.

Xu Erlang pretended not to hear it, his footsteps didn't stop, and he disappeared in three or two steps.

Xu Chong still wanted to chase after him, but when he asked about the rancid smell on his body, he thought about it, so let's go back to shower and change clothes first. It's buried like this, and hey, it's terrible. Thoma's he returned home with this image all the way, this sloppy appearance, he himself hated to death, and he could still count on that mother-in-law to take a fancy to him.

Xu Chong turned around and went back, and there was a maid calling him behind him. The person who came was still a familiar face, Xu Chong thought for a while before remembering, oh, the girl over there.

He was a little impatient, "Wait, I will go to see her old man after I freshen up, and let my mother wait for a while." ”

Servant girl; ...... "I haven't said anything yet."

Xu Chong married Heyantang after freshening up, and learned the news that the second brother would be released from Xu's mother, which was not light.

But after the shock, he was stable again, the second brother is not a person with no purpose, and he is more calculating than him, since he wants to release it, it must have a reason to release it. The second brother is the IQ of the family, and if he wants to go out, then go.

Xu Chong thought of this, the whole person relaxed, he leaned back in the chair soothingly, and the whole person seemed to be very comfortable with the second uncle.

Mother Xu was still waiting for her third son to come forward to persuade Erlang, but she heard Sanlang say, "The second brother is a successful one, he can go if he wants." Alas, I said mother, the second brother is released, and you still have a son in the capital. Although I am not often at home, if you have anything to do with me, you can send me a letter, and I will appoint it for you. No matter how bad it is, there are so many maids and wives in the family, and our family doesn't let them eat dry rice when we raise them, so you make up for them and leave them at home to be uncles. ”

The maids and ladies in the house all shrunk their necks, and they didn't dare to come out, Xu Chong said slowly, "The second brother wants to go, let him go, he is not a big man, he is the father of the two children, and he is very reliable, so you don't have to worry about his safety." If you are really reluctant, you can write a letter every once in a while, and every year when I have a holiday, I can personally send you to live with my second brother for a few days. Alas, what a big deal, it's worth your yelling to call me back. I thought I was going to do something, I panicked and took a shower and came out, and my hair was not cleaned. ”

Xu's mother's hand trembled, if it wasn't for being a little far away from her son, she wouldn't have slapped him, otherwise she would reward him with a slap on the back of the head.

What a bastard kid.

He's a fool, I really don't understand what she means? She just asked him to come forward to persuade his second brother to stay, he is good, he is talking nonsense here, what nonsense is this? She still misses that son of a wreck, and she thinks beautifully! I still want her to live for a while every year, and come on, she has old arms and legs, and she wants to live for two more years!

Xu Muqi's hands trembled, and he endured it several times without holding back, and finally took a fruit from the table and smashed it directly at Xu Chong, "Bastard boy, get out of here, hurry up and get out of me." ”

Xu Chong took the fruit in his hand and took a big bite. As he got up and walked out, he said casually, "Okay, I'll get out, I'm not here to get in your way." Alas, the last time Pian Pian wrote to me and said that your body is not comfortable, where is it, I see that your spirit is tight. My hands were numb when I smashed this fruit. ”

muttering, Xu Chong said a few more words, but Xu Chong was not light.

The old lady threw two fruits out one after another, Xu Chong took them while jumping to his feet, and said while eating the fruits, "Okay, okay, just give it to the sons, I can't eat too much." It's all dinner, I'm going to eat meat, just eat these fruits sweetly, eat too much and take up space. ”

Mother Xu pointed at him angrily and roared, "Your brother is a little evil, if you say another word, I will break your legs." ”

Xu Chong didn't say anything, turned around and left.

He ate the fruit with a clattering in his mouth, but it was only a few moments before he arrived at the Emerald Garden.

Jin Niang had heard Xu Erlang say that San Lang was back, and she knew that he would definitely have Ali to eat later, so she asked the people in the kitchen to add a few more dishes that Xu Chong loved to eat in advance. No, this man has a dog's nose, and as soon as he entered the yard, he said, "I smell the smell of roast pigeon, hey, that's it, it's so fragrant." ”

Changle and Xiaoyuer are playing in the courtyard.

Spring has already begun on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the weather has been very good these days, and those with great firepower have even put on spring shirts. However, Xiao Yu'er and Changle are young, the other was weak earlier, and they are little girls, so they should be particularly worried. So Jin Niang didn't let them wear single clothes, but allowed them to play outside for a longer time.

No, the two girls are kicking shuttlecocks outside now.

They had been kicking for a while, and both of them were blushing with hot little faces, and beads of sweat were running out of their hair.

The two of them saw Xu Chong in surprise and called "Third Uncle" to run over, Xu Chong reflexively touched his body, but he didn't touch anything. He was not embarrassed, and directly gave the two fruits "Shun" from Heyantang to Changle and Xiaoyu'er, "Good, eat the fruit while eating, this fruit is sweet, and the third uncle specially bought it for you." ”

Changle was full of black lines, and Xiao Yu'er muttered and accused the cheeks of the meat, "The third uncle is deceiving." This is obviously someone from Zhuangzi who came in a few years ago, and there is no sale on the market at all, third uncle, you are lying. Third uncle, you are not a good boy. ”

Xu Chongxin said, what the hell is a good boy? Your third uncle is a military ruffian, and he was a mortal enemy 800 years ago with a good boy, okay?

But it's not interesting to talk to a little kid about what they don't have, so he snorted a little fish's little head, stuffed the fruit into her and Changle's mouths, and said perfunctorily, "The third uncle is busy, you guys can play." ”

Changle and Xiao Yu'er: "......" looked at the third uncle who was very busy, and when he entered the house, he went to find the little uncle to fight, speechless.

This meal is quite warm, although Xu Chong always can't help but find fault, but Qing'er is not a vegetarian. The two of you come and go, one Sven and the other ruffian, so that a few children can't even take care of eating.

In the end, Xu Erlang couldn't stand it anymore, and directly said "eat", both of them were born peacefully, and they honestly ate with chopsticks, not to mention some of them.

After the meal, Xu Chong talked to Xu Erlang, and Xu Erlang said straight, "Go to the study." He called Chang'an Changping and Qing'er again.

Seeing this, Xu Chong bit his cheek, "Okay, let's go together." ”

Several people left, Jin Niang asked the nurse to bring clothes to Brother Rong, the little guy grew up and it was more difficult to bring, and now he had to eat by himself. Jin Niang simply let him go, and specially asked someone to make a small spoon and a small bowl for him out of wood, and put some food in it every time, so that the little guy could eat it by himself.

Of course, you can't eat it in your mouth, and you basically eat it on your clothes. Looking at the dirty clothes, Xiao Yu'er said that he couldn't see it.

After washing Brother Rong'er's hands and face and changing his clothes, the little guy returned to a white and delicate appearance. The big black eyes turned around, and from time to time they called their mothers with a smile and a milky voice from time to time, but they couldn't make Xiaoyuer and Changle rare.

At this time, I still remember the appearance of his dirty little cat, and the two of them rarely led him around to play, giggling with a happy brother.

Jin Niang and Pian Pian gossiped about it.

Pian Pian said that the business of fat powder is very easy to do during this time, and because of the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow, there is a lantern festival as usual, so the rouge sells very quickly. And the shop next to their shop, which sells ready-to-wear fabrics, is even more prosperous, with customers coming and going from morning to night.

When Jin Niang heard this, she said, "It should be." After all, there are many banquets during the Chinese New Year, which is a good time to see each other. ”

Pian Pian paused invisibly when she heard the "look at each other" action, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. However, Jin Niang was looking at the three sisters and brothers playing at this time, and she didn't pay attention to Pianpin's discomfort for a while. When she turned her face, Pian Pian had returned to normal, so Jin Niang didn't notice the strangeness of Pian Pian at that moment.

Pian Pian and Jin Niang talked about their plans, and said that they were going to recruit two more craftsmen who could develop rouge gouache in the first month. She, Changle and Xiao Yuer started their business in a small fight, and they also thought that they would make money, but no one expected that they would make so much money.

She is naturally happy when business is good, but their energy is limited, and their talent is also limited, so it is really a lot of pressure to continue to develop new products.

And if there is no new product, it is not impossible to sell rouge gouache in the past. But after a long time, I am afraid that other merchants will crack their methods and make similar varieties, and then they will not be competitive. In addition, the release of new products can also drive the sales of the store, which is something that the store must do if it wants to maintain.

Jin Niang also agrees with this, but it is easy to find good craftsmen. Besides, if you recruit someone, do you know if that person is a human or a ghost?

Don't be a spy from another store, and if you don't make any contribution to the store at that time, you will learn the secret method of developing rouge in the store, and that will be more than worth the loss.

Jin Niang never minds speculating on people with the greatest malice, but this is what Hi should do in Pianpian's opinion. She was also worried about attracting people with ulterior motives, and it would be a disaster for the store at that time.

Both of them were a little worried, and in the end they could only look for it slowly. It's not something that happens overnight, and you can always find it if you look for it slowly.

Later, Chang'an Changping took the lead in coming out of the study, and Jin Niang saw that Qing'er, Xu Chong, and Xu Erlang were not behind them, so she knew what the three were talking about. It's just not a problem, and she doesn't care.

Later, everyone dispersed, Jin Niang packed up and sat in front of the dresser, and Xu Erlang came back from the study.

Jin Niang asked him, "Are Qing'er and San Lang gone?" ”

"Gone."

Why didn't I hear anything?
