Chapter 222: Taking Care of Business (Warmth)
Li Yan nodded hurriedly, "Miss Xie appreciates, there are too many people in the family, and it is even more difficult to live after the separation, this brother-in-law used to be a fresh martial arts candidate, but it was only because of the relationship in the family that he was affected, and now the mother-in-law is also gone, and only the brother-in-law is left, so he came to join us." ”
Xia Mengning nodded, "It's a big responsibility, you go back and discuss it with the Deng family, and see if you want to, transfer him to the shop to help take care of the business. ”
Li Yan listened, hurriedly stood up and thanked him, Xia Mengning waved his hand and said: "You also know my temperament, if you don't do a good job, I will definitely remove him." ”
Saying that, Xia Mengning wrote again: "I have thought back and forth, the calligraphy and painting business makes too little money, and there are already many calligraphy and painting restaurants in the capital, so we don't have an advantage in this regard." ”
Li Yan nodded, "What Miss said is that the little one also thinks so, I don't know what kind of business Miss wants to change?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled and wrote on the paper: "Medicinal diet." ”
"Medicinal diet?" Li Yan read it again, as if he didn't understand what it meant, Xia Mengning smiled, "I know some medical science, let's open a medicinal diet, specializing in making some medicinal diets to help others regulate their bodies." ”
Li Yan is also a businessman, obviously hearing the door, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Miss's plan is?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled and said: "This medicinal diet, as the name suggests, is to regulate people's bodies through diet, which can not only cure diseases, but also help people strengthen their bodies. ”
Saying that, Xia Mengning drew a few times on the paper and said: "We have a total of six shops, three are used to entertain male guests, and three are used to entertain female guests. ”
Li Yan nodded and said approvingly: "Miss Hui Lanxin, it's really a good idea." ”
Xia Mengning said: "Steward Li has been promoted, so let's do it, without further ado, there will be Steward Li recently, as for the accounts that will be handed over every seven days, Steward Li will work first, and I will hand over the affairs of the house to the Deng family to do, and you two husbands and wives can work together." ”
This is to try his best to promote the two of them, Li Yan couldn't hear it, and hurriedly thanked him.
Xia Mengning said again: "Now Steward Li will first go and record all the guys in each shop, where is the name, age, home, what things do you know, and whether you have any bad habits in the past, how your conduct is, I hope Steward Li will check more." ”
Li Yan admired Xia Mengning in his heart, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Miss, wait a minute, the little one will definitely bring the roster in the evening." ”
Xia Mengning nodded, told Li Yan a few more words, and then went back to Zhuzhi Garden with Jiu'er.
After returning to the Bamboo Branch Garden, Xia Mengning asked Jiu'er to bring the four treasures of the study, and sat on the couch to draw and draw, Jiu'er couldn't understand it, but just rolled up her sleeves and studied the ink on the side, watching quietly.
When it was dark, Xia Mengning straightened up and said, "Just let Zhulian bring in dinner." ”
Jiu'er nodded, put down the ink strip and walked out, Xia Mengning continued to sort out the things on the table, only to feel a cool aroma suddenly on the tip of her nose, and when she raised her head, she saw Changsun Yun with a warm smile on her face.
Xia Mengning turned her head, "Why are you silent every time you come?" ”
Eldest Sun Yun smiled, "It's not that I don't have a voice, it's that you're too focused." ”
Xia Mengning pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "You probably know about this, there are people with heads and faces in the capital who are giving alms, it makes no sense that the Prime Minister's Mansion has not made any moves, but you also know the financial resources of the mansion, where there are so many idle silver taels, I can't help it." ”
Eldest Sun Yun looked at the tiredness in Xia Mengning's eyes, and felt distressed, so he sat down next to Xia Mengning and said, "I can't see you working so hard, how many silver taels do you want, I'll give it to you." ”
Xia Mengning smiled, gently leaned her head on Changsun Yun's shoulder, and said, "I don't want to, I'm not the kind of person who has to rely on others for everything, I can do it myself." ”
Eldest Sun Yun stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around her body and sighed, "Why is this world damn so slow, I really want to marry you back sooner." ”
Xia Mengningjiao raised her head with a smile, looked at Eldest Sun Yun and said, "What, are you still thinking about Jinwu Zangjiao?" ”
Eldest Sun Yun looked at Xia Mengning's delicate little face, and was about to kiss it, but at this moment, Jiu'er's voice sounded outside the door, "Miss, the meal is ready." ”
probably knew that Changsun Yun was in the house, but he was afraid that Xia Mengning would starve, Jiu'er stood outside the door and shouted softly, Xia Mengning smiled, looked at Changsun Yun's dark face, and took the initiative to step forward and peck him on the lips, "Is it okay to eat with me, we have never eaten together." ”
The phoenix's eyes are clear and compelling, Xia Mengning, who has taken off her cold face, is a fourteen-year-old little woman in front of Changsun Yun, Changsun Yun is happy that Xia Mengning can gradually open her heart in front of her, and at the same time, she also feels sorry for Xia Mengning's psychology that she wants to carry everything by herself.
The eldest grandson nodded his head, and Jiu'er had already brought the meal.
The two sat cross-legged on the couch, like a newlywed Yan'er couple, Xia Mengning gave the eldest grandson Yun a chopstick of snow bud shredded meat, and said with a smile: "Zhulian's craftsmanship is good, you can taste it." ”
Eldest Sun Yun ate it and nodded, "It's delicious." ”
Xia Mengning's eyes narrowed with a smile, and she couldn't stop picking vegetables for the eldest grandson.
The two finished their meal with a smile, Jiu'er came in to clean up, Xia Mengning took the drawings she had drawn and showed them to Changsun Yun, and said, "Look, this is what I want to use for decoration, it is very simple and will not waste a lot of silver, but there are many more places than now, which makes people not look so crowded." ”
As she spoke, Xia Mengning took out another piece of paper and said, "Look, this is the diet I listed to regulate my body, I am going to teach it to my subordinates, and then let them do it for me, so that I can save worry and effort." ”
Eldest Sun Yun sat on the side and listened, looking at Xia Mengning's sometimes laughing and sometimes smug expression, he was proud and happy in his heart, Xia Mengning finished speaking, raised his face with anticipation and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Eldest Sun Yun sighed, stretched out his hand to encircle Xia Mengning's body, rested his chin on the top of her head and rubbed it gently, "Very good, my Ning'er does everything very well." ”
As he spoke, Eldest Sun Yun held Xia Mengning's shoulders with both hands and sighed, "It's just that I feel so distressed when I see you like this......"
Xia Mengning looked at the expression of the eldest grandson, Rumo's eyes were distressed that people couldn't help but be moved, Xia Mengning knew that this kind of expression couldn't be pretended, her heart was very happy, in her life, there was a man who felt sorry for herself, how precious it was.
Xia Mengning smiled, shook his head and said, "I will take care of myself, I will be very busy these days, you also have to take care of yourself." ”
Saying that, Xia Mengning gently leaned his head into the arms of Changsun Yun, and his strong heartbeat was in his ears, maybe he was tired, or maybe he hadn't felt so relieved for a long time, Xia Mengning felt a burst of relaxation around her, closed her eyes and fell asleep slightly.
Outside the door, Li Yanzheng walked in with a recorded booklet, and Jiu'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss just fell asleep, Steward Li should come back tomorrow." ”
Li Yan nodded, turned around and walked out, Jiu'er looked at the figure reflected in the window, and smiled slightly, Miss can be happy, and she is also happy.
Eldest Sun Yun noticed Xia Mengning's long and steady breathing, lowered his head and looked at the expression of the person in his arms, Xia Mengning was sleeping sweetly, her long eyelashes hung down and covered her eyes and face, which was very quiet and pleasant.
Eldest Sun Yun moved Xia Mengning's body slightly, allowing her to better lean on his arms, and he looked at her with his chin propped up like this, remembering all the things the two had experienced before, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and then to common suffering.
The candle flame on the table hit softly around the two of them, and Changsun Yun looked at Xia Mengning, whose face was stained by the candlelight, and suddenly felt that this life was enough, such a scene, I am afraid that only four words can describe the quiet years.
The next day, Xia Mengning was woken up by the sound of birds, she frowned slightly, she felt comfortable all over, she hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time.
Seeing Xia Mengning's delicate appearance, Eldest Sun Yun couldn't help but laugh lowly, and said, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”
Xia Mengning was startled, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Changsun Yun's handsome face was above her, and when she looked at herself, she was curled up and leaning in Changsun Yun's arms.
Xia Mengning hurriedly got up, but Changsun Yun reached out and firmly wrapped his arms around her waist and pecked her cheek gently, "You slept so well last night, but it hurt me." ”
Xia Mengning's face was slightly red, and she said, "You can wake up my ......"
Eldest Sun Yun laughed out loud, and his warm breath sprayed on Xia Mengning's ear, "Being able to see you sleep peacefully every day like this is the happiest thing I can think of in my life." ”
Xia Mengning's cheeks flushed, and secretly said how could she take it so lightly, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
Eldest Sun Yun let go of his hand, walked down to put on his shoes, and said with a smile: "I'll go first, if I can't sleep at night, let Wu Qing come to me." ”
Xia Mengning's cheeks were flushed, she glared at Changsun Yun, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly put on her shoes and said, "You wait." ”
As he spoke, he ran to the dresser next to him, took something from the box and ran over, saying, "I have something for you." ”
Eldest Sun Yun was quite interested, "Oh? What the? ”
Xia Mengning is a head shorter than him, but at this moment, he raised his face slightly, and what he put in his palm was a white hairpin, which was an ordinary style, one round oval and one pointed, but it was extremely rare without a trace of impurities, so pure white, lined in Xia Mengning's pink palm, indescribably pleasing to the eye.
Eldest Sun Yun seemed to have a string plucked in his heart, Xia Mengning looked at his eyes without blinking, smiled and took his hand and walked to the bronze mirror, and said, "Is it okay for the concubine to serve the prince to comb his hair?" ”
In the bronze mirror, what was reflected was the woman's smiling face like a flower, the eldest grandson Yun smiled and nodded his head, Xia Mengning combed his hair with a wooden comb, combed it slowly, and at the end, he used the hairpin to coil up his hair and tie it high on the top of his head.
The man in the mirror is as pale as jade, with long eyebrows and sideburns, and there is a shallow smile in the dark pupils, and the woman leaning on his shoulder is smiling happily, with a pair of phoenix eyes squinting, and a pair of shallow pear vortices next to his cheeks.
Xia Mengning smiled, and her lips opened slightly: "Thousands of green silks and thousands of wisps of love, and the hair is open and fragrant." ”
Outside the window, the first rays of the early morning sun are shining in, covering the figures of the two with a soft halo, if you are not hurt, the years will be fine.
