The eldest prince of Chu has always gotten up early, and when he gets up, he generally does not alarm Xiao Chu. He took his sword and danced outside the room, and a small figure appeared in the morning light that had just been white.

Brother Yu, who was wearing a red belly pocket, a moon-white shirt, and pink silk pants on his lower body, came out yawning. Chunshui and Qiuyue followed behind him left and right, looking at him and laughing.

Children wake up a little differently than adults, and girls who have never brought children know this.

The nurse and the girl with Brother Yu were waiting outside early, and when they saw him come out, they coaxed him and said, "Let's go back, my great-grandmother confessed to return early yesterday." ”

Brother Yu shook his head, put two fingers in his mouth, and curiously walked to see Chu Huaixian dancing the sword.

The eldest prince of Chu danced brightly beside the hibiscus tree in the courtyard, and his son took a group of mothers and girls to probe his brain. Chu Huaixian stopped and said to Brother Yu: "Go back." ”

Brother Yu looked at him very puzzled, not understanding who this person he called his father was. Great-grandmother gave food and drink, aunt Xiangzhi accompanied her to play with beautiful clothes and cloth tigers, what are the fathers who appear from time to time and the mother who falls asleep in the room used for?

The little brother didn't understand it.

Although I didn't understand, I was trained by Chu Huaixian to grab my grandfather's beard. Although I didn't understand the words, I understood that the face was not good. Brother Yu saw that this person called his father had turned his face like a stone slab again, so he stared at Chu Huaixian with his own eyes.

After staring at him for a while, he cried again, turned around and pulled the nurse: "Let's go back, don't stay here." ”

Brother Yu of the stilt house walked away, taking a group of his followers.

Chu Huaixian was able to dance his sword with peace of mind, and before there were three moves and two styles, Xiao Chu came out of the room and yawned: "What about my son," she was wearing green silk, straightening her messy little clothes, and her two eyes were looking around.

"Your son doesn't want you anymore," Chu Huaixian teased. Xiao Chu walked over curiously with his two hands in his hands, and the expression on his face was exactly the same as that of Brother Yu: "You continue, I'll watch." ”

Chu Huaixian felt disturbed, and his face darkened like that of his son: "Go in and sleep with you." Xiao Chu didn't cry like Brother Yu, she went to the room with her mouth flat, turned around and said as she walked: "I know, your son was driven away by you." ”

After returning to Chu Huaixian with breakfast, Mrs. Chu Shao came to the boring building.

The carriage stopped upstairs, and the men stuck their heads out to watch. Steward Zhuang rubbed his hands together and walked over excitedly: "The young lady is here, good, good, good." Three in a row, Xiao Chu pursed his lips and smiled: "Without me, aren't you good?" ”

Gong Miao'er was also there this morning, sticking her head out upstairs and didn't come down, hearing the words of Young Mrs. Chu, Gong Miao'er made fun of Xiao Chu: "Without Young Madame here, this floor is crumbling every day." Then he stretched out his hand to lead Xiao Chu's eyes: "You look over there." ”

In the corner, Zheng Yi shrank his head and smiled, turned around and walked away quickly.

Xiao Chu was puzzled, and went upstairs to ask Gong Miaoer: "What's the matter with him?" "When you see yourself, you run.

Mrs. Chu sat a little confused because the confinement was too smooth.

"He wants to see you, and if you don't come again, I'll dress him up as a girl and let Tao'er take him to your house to see you." Gong Miaoer was in a good mood when she saw Xiao Chu come out, and made fun of him one after another: "His white face and nose are also quite high, and he is no worse than the little girl he has played with." There is one thing, I am afraid that if you want to buy or marry in the picture of your housekeeper, there will be trouble. ”

Xiao Chu is also in a good mood, and he has heard such jokes at home a few times. She looked at the red pomegranate blossoms in the garden, greedily inhaled the fragrant breath, and said with a smile: "This month's payment, giving you more is a reward." You weren't lazy when I wasn't there. ”

"Dare I be lazy?" Gong Miao'er touched her neck: "Your eldest son, ha, my cousin-in-law, but he often comes." Xiao Chu couldn't help laughing, he didn't scold him today, just made a kind reminder: "Childe is not the same as you, you just talk nonsense, say that you are used to it, and if you meet him in a bad mood, he wants to settle accounts with you." ”

Mrs. Chu smiled: "Don't come to me, it's not something that can be done with a few buns of dim sum." ”

was poor, there was a sound on the floor, Zheng Erguan was holding the old blue shirt on his body with one hand, and came up the stairs with the other, and said with a smile: "Hello young lady,"

"Erguan, you are good," Xiao Chu wanted to learn his smile, but he didn't learn it well, and he still smiled on his face. Zheng Erguan hehehe: "Young lady, you have collected a lot of raw silk, right?" ”

"Hey, there aren't many people who can get it, I heard that you have also accepted this recently," Xiao Chu smiled: "Let's talk about it when we can, and I'll give it all to you." ”

Gong Miao'er laughed beside her, listening to these two people play a word by one.

In addition to the large pomegranate flowers in the house, there are also early blooming roses, which are early in the morning. From time to time, a few birds fly around, full of life.

The two people behind him were already arguing. Zheng Erguan sneered: "How much can you charge for that small shop?" What's the use of you taking it? Hmph, busy work. ”

"I don't collect much, but you can only watch me take it. Erguanren, this year you want to call for wind and rain alone, and if you say that it will rise, it will rise and fall, but it is not so easy, right? ”

The second official jumped to his feet: "You official wife, just have a business to play, why bother to do more!" Xiao Chu finally mastered the balance of not smiling, and gave this newly-learned smile to Zheng Erguan: "What I want to do, you taught me early, and it will be fine." ”

Gong Miao'er smiled unbearably, so she could only cough a few times to ease it. After looking at the layout of the house, Gong Miaoer muttered: "This pavilion should be washed, and if there are more trees next to it, a few should be removed and replaced with a piece of grass." ”

Listening to the words behind him has changed. Xiao Chu and Zheng Erguan sat down and discussed: "What is backlogged in your warehouse, you can show me what, I will sell the goods, and I have nothing to do with you." ”

Zheng Erguan sneered and patted the case: "Young lady, please, I'll take you to take a look." ”

Gong Miao'er was not at ease, and followed downstairs behind. Seeing that Zheng Erguan was angry, and Mrs. Chu was arrogant, the two of them first had their own expressions of refusal to admit defeat.

Sun Erhai drove the carriage, and Mrs. Chu Shao sat inside; Zheng Erguan rubbed Gong Miaoer's carriage, and Gong Miaoer entangled with him in the car: "How much money for the car will be given." ”

Most of the Zheng family's larger warehouses are outside Beijing, and when the waterway is convenient, you can come in by boat. Although the river was blocked by Mrs. Chu Shao once a year ago, she can't always block the river.

This warehouse is still in the same place, hundreds of miles away.

Outside the city there was a small warehouse, and the carriage traveled for less than an hour. Zheng Erguan got out of the carriage, and someone ran up and down to greet him: "Erguanren, what is your order to come today?" ”

The second official said: "The moldy cloth and the half-rotten oiled paper, someone asked for it." The person in charge of the warehouse was overjoyed, and was busy bowing down to Xiao Chu and the others all the way and accompanying them to the warehouse. As he walked, he said happily: "This is great, these things are pressed here, and they still occupy the warehouse." ”

This is a small market town closest to Beijing, there is not too much bustling and lively street, but there are a lot of people coming and going, it is a sharp place on the official road leading to Beijing.

The location of the warehouse is right on the main street, and the business is not very good, only two or three guys are here. Gong Miao'er couldn't help but say: "Erguanren, you don't seem to be afraid of people stealing things here." ”

Not many people watched.

Looking at the terrain again, Xiao Chu frowned: "It's not wet here, how can there be moldy things?" The second official didn't speak, and the person in charge of the warehouse looked at the second official's face, and just laughed: "The rainy season will also be moldy." ”

Everyone doesn't talk, let's look at things together. The guy took out a few pieces of cloth and looked at them, and everyone understood. Chunshui has less to say now, and Xiao Chu said: "There are water stains on this cloth, this is what you picked up when you fell into the water when you transported it." ”

Zheng Erguan smiled at this time: "Young Lady Chu, see if you can bear it." Xiao Chu stretched out his hand wearing a few rings and bracelets to look through it, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands and said, "How many are there?" ”

"These are thrown on the street only for people who have no clothes to wear." Gong Miao'er couldn't come up with an idea, and when she saw that Xiao Chu and the second official were really angry, she hurriedly reminded her.

Zheng Erguan laughed treacherously: "What? Don't dare to ask for it. The second official was excited: "Young lady, big words are not nonsense. "It's not as simple as a few scrap porcelain.

"How much is it, and what price do you want to give me?" Mrs. Chu Shao has a shrewd face, and she is a person who comes to talk about business seriously. Gong Miao'er laughed: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously." ”

Xiao Chu glanced at Zheng Erguan: "If I sell it, will you let me take a step in the Zheng family's business in the future?" Zheng Erguan he, this is his habitual old smile: "Of course." ”

Turning around, he said to the person in charge of the warehouse: "Open them all, please look at the young lady." ”

In the backyard, there are several rows of large warehouses. The doors were all open, and a musty smell came to my face. Xiao Chu turned around and smiled at Zheng Erguan: "Yes, I want it, but there is one thing, it is your business to dry these smells." ”

"It's not difficult, it's May and the weather is just right, at most half a month, you can get rid of the smell. To tell you the truth, after I fished it out of the river, I dried it casually, and I never cared about it again. ”

The second official said, and asked Mrs. Chu to look at the oil paper: "This is snatched out of the fire, it is last year's fire." The oiled paper is easy to burn, and by the time it comes out, more than half of these have been burned, and I think it's a pity to lose the rest. Let's see if it's not, this year, your young lady has a way to think about it. ”

Xiao Chu carefully and carefully looked at the half-burned oiled paper, and half of it was nearly a foot long, and more than a foot wide was intact. There was a musty smell inside the cloth, and there was a burnt smell on the oily paper.

"I'll do this, but you'll have to cut out all the burning places, and then dry the burnt smell." Mrs. Chu Shao said, and Zheng Erguan also agreed.

After reading it, Mrs. Chu said: "Then that's it, tell me when you get it ready, of course, I still have to borrow this warehouse." The young lady smiled and said, "I also want your useless things, so there is no need for this warehouse money." ”

Zheng Erguan hurriedly agreed, for fear that Mrs. Chu Shao would regret this sentence: "Okay," sell these things that can't be used, and don't occupy the warehouse, Zheng Erguan is a hundred promises.

Mrs. Chu smiled, and Gong Miao'er felt that she had confidence; Zheng Erguan smiled, and the same business war is the best tonic for Erguanren.

When he returned to Beijing, he had dinner at noon in the boring building, and the eldest prince of Chu also came at noon, and took Xiao Chu down to see the new flowers in the house: "The palace is full of white, and I will go home after a while." ”

"I want to invite my parents and grandmother, I wonder if they will be willing or not?" Xiao Chu said, Chu Huaixian shook his head: "Forget it, although it is quiet, as soon as my father hears the word business, he refuses to come." ”

Xiao Chu regretted: "Actually, I lived in and went in and out through another door, far away from this building and the guests." Chu Huaixian saw that she was disappointed, and stroked Xiao Chu's shoulder and comforted: "But my father asked, I was afraid that you would lose money, and when I heard about it, he seemed to feel relieved." Xiao Chuzhong smiled: "That's good." ”

Tell Chu Huaixian what he said to Zheng Erguan again, Xiao Chu was extremely naughty: "What tricks does the son have?" Chu Huaixian shook his head: "I can't think of it, which of these things is still willing to want?" If it's very cheap, you can only sell it to the poorest. ”

Seeing that the pomegranate was slanted, he picked a branch of pomegranate flowers, compared it with Xiao Chu in his hair, and threw it aside, Chu Huaixian said: "You want to come with an idea, so you agreed to him, right?" ”

"No," Xiao Chu smiled and stroked his hair, and said to Chu Huaixian. Grand Prince Chu frowned and smiled: "I'm waiting for you to come back and complain to me about your grievances, saying that you can't do this." ”

Xiao Chu smiled more charmingly, his smile seemed to be more beautiful than a flower, his eyes reflected the flowers like looking forward to looking left and right, and his smile was also like a flower: "Wait for me to think about it." ”
