Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Man noticed that the other party's clothes were a little thin, and the fabrics and styles were very old, especially the shoes, and there were even holes in some places. In such weather, such clothes obviously cannot protect against the cold.

Xiao Man nodded and encouraged: "You have achieved such a high ranking at such a young age, it can be seen that you are extremely talented, and you will definitely be able to take on great responsibilities in the future." Xiaoxue, if you need anything in the future, just tell Pearl and she will help you. ”

After all, she is still a child, and after being praised like this, Xiaoxue smiled, and a few excited blushes floated on her face, "Thank you Madame for the compliment!" ”

Xiao Man smiled slightly, encouraged a few more words, and then looked at the rest of the people and said, "Since you have chosen to come to Canglan, then work hard, rest assured, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

With that, she asked Pearl to take someone to familiarize herself with the environment first, while she and Jade stayed in place to supervise the construction of the greenhouse.

However, the team left, but Xiao Man was still thinking about the thin cotton clothes that Xiao Xue was wearing. That kind of cotton clothes are okay in Shangjing, but Canglan is so cold, even if it is the warmest months, that cotton clothes don't have much effect.

What's more, the embroidery girl's hands are the most important, Xiaoxue is so thin, in case it freezes, the hands are trembling and there is no way to do things, and the embroidered things will definitely not look good.

Therefore, she thought for a moment and looked at Jade: "I remember that there are still hundreds of cotton clothes left from Donglan, right?" ”

"Yes, ma'am." Jade replied: "Because I am afraid of accidents on the road, I have specially prepared more than a dozen pieces in the store, and now they are all placed in the small warehouse, do you want to take them out?" ”

"These embroidery girls are new to the city, and they will definitely not be able to adapt to the vicissitudes of the weather in the short term, so you can take out those cotton clothes to dry, and then distribute them to everyone." After the order, Xiao Man sighed, "I came to such a cold place and wore such thin clothes, and I don't know how this girl survived on the road." ”

Hearing this, Jade couldn't help but be curious: "Madam, are you talking about that little girl?" ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the little girl is very clever, and she is the top of this competition, which is enough to see this girl's solid kung fu and exquisite embroidery, and Xiao Man, as the shopkeeper, will naturally favor her.

Xiao Man didn't hide it, she nodded, frowned slightly and said, "Yes, the clothes have faded, and I don't know how long they have been worn." ”

Listening to the other party's slightly distressed tone, Jade couldn't help but persuade: "Madame rest assured, now that Xiaoxue has come to our house, her life will definitely be much better in the future, besides, she is still the top of this competition, and she will definitely be Madame's right-hand man in the future, will you still worry about this dress at that time?" You're right? ”

Indeed, Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "Yes, I will live in the house in the future, and my life will be better." ”

Xu had a similar experience to Xiaoxue before, and Xiaoman was also quite sympathetic and fond of this little girl, and the reason why Jade took out those cotton clothes was also to make Xiaoxue warmer.

However, how terrible Xiaoman's jealousy is even a woman. If she only gave Xiaoxue cotton clothes alone, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some people, so Xiaoman would give everyone a piece, so that some people in the province would be dissatisfied with Xiaoxue because of such a trivial matter.

"You can find someone to take out all the cotton clothes first, and send them over later, and I'll just keep an eye on them here." Xiao Man commanded.

Jade saluted, "Yes, the minion will go." ”

Looking at the back of Jade leaving, Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned his gaze to the greenhouse being built, his eyes did not leave for a moment, occasionally walking around, for fear that something would go wrong.

Greenhouses are also being built in the open space in the front and back yards at the same time, and Xiao Man occasionally walks around and points out. This kind of work doesn't seem tiring, but because of Xiaoman's pointing and walking, after a few hours, he is indeed tired and thirsty.

Seeing that everything was moving in an orderly manner towards his expectations, Xiaoman was also a little more relaxed than before, so he asked him to go back to the room to rest for a while.

But before Xiaoman walked out of the small garden, someone came to report, saying that King Rong was visiting.

About King Rong, Xiao Man also heard Hua Li say a few words, in her impression, this King Rong is the current king's own son, so he is deeply favored, and the mansion he lives in is very similar to King Rong's mansion, it is said that the king also asked Zhang Shangqi to do this.

Since the king's favorite prince came, Xiao Man naturally rushed to the front hall without a moment's rest, and arranged his clothes and headdress on the way.

When he arrived in the front hall, Xiao Man slowed down slightly, breathed evenly, and then walked in the net, and called the other party by the way, "I've seen King Rong." ”

The man standing with his back to her turned his head, Xiao Man, who hung his head, secretly raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, only to see that this King Rong was eight points similar to the current king, but he didn't know what the reason was, this King Rong looked older, although the corners of his mouth always had a faint smile, but Xiao Man only felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

Fortunately, this King Rong only looked at Xiao Man, and did not notice this gaze, he stepped forward with a slight smile, and helped Xiao Man slightly, his voice did not hear anything abnormal, but was a little softer than Xiao Man imagined: "Is this the county lord of Brother Wang in Donglanfeng?" It's really like a hibiscus out of the water, and it's not comparable to my rouge vulgar powder. ”

King Rong smiled. Xiao Man said a little uncomfortably modestly.

"I don't know how old the county lord is, should this king call Wang Mei or sister?" King Rong looked at Xiao Man with a smile and asked.

The gaze revealed by the other party's eyes was really a little terrifying, Xiao Man only glanced at it, and the feeling of chilling down her spine came again, she frowned unconsciously, quietly took two steps back, and said: "I'm twenty-five years old this year, I don't know the prince-"

"Looks like it's time for me to call you sister." King Rong interrupted with a grin.

I don't know what's going on, when Xiao Man and Wang Shang got along, although they also had this sense of oppression, but because the other party was the monarch and he was in the other party's territory, Xiao Man didn't take this feeling seriously, but now when she talked to King Rong, this sense of oppression made her breathless.

And this King Rong came strangely, after Xiao Man and the others arrived in Canglan, he didn't show up, stayed in the post house for so long, he didn't come to visit, and then a group of people stayed in the county lord's mansion, this King Rong still didn't appear.

And when the king asked Xiaoman to start building a greenhouse, King Rong came uninvited, and through several conversations, the other party always avoided talking about him, making people unable to guess the purpose of his coming here, which really made people scratch their heads and have some unknown sense of panic.

Xu saw Xiaoman's cramped and panicked feeling, King Rong put down the teacup and said, "Sister, don't worry too much, the reason why I came here today is just to see what kind of person my sister is, just curious, and there is no other purpose and idea." ”

Being said by the other party made Xiao Man's heart even more awkward, but on the bright side, she had to smile, took a sip of tea and didn't speak.

"Sister, I heard Brother Wang say, what kind of greenhouse are you building, you must be very busy, right? Need help? By the way, can I go and see what this greenhouse looks like? King Rong suddenly turned the topic to the greenhouse, which caught Xiao Man off guard.

She nodded a little, and then reacted, and said politely: "The greenhouse has not been successfully built, but a few people in the house are enough, but if the prince is curious and wants to see it, I'm afraid he will have to wait a little longer." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a conversation between Xiao Man and Lu Li outside, Xiao Man subconsciously got up, leaned over and glanced out the window.

King Rong, who was still interested in the greenhouse, immediately turned the topic to Lu Li, "Is Zhen Guogong back?" ”

Xiao Man retracted his gaze and turned around, "Yes." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu left the door and came in, and with a faint smile, he was about to walk in front of Xiao Man, when he caught a glimpse of King Rong on the side.

King Rong happened to step forward at this time and saluted, "Zhenguo Gong." ”

"This is-" Lu Li frowned, his smile dissipated imperceptibly, and he immediately showed a little puzzlement and vigilance, and at the same time walked to Xiao Man's side and faced King Rong with her.

Without waiting for Xiaoman's introduction, King Rong took the lead in introducing himself. Of course, Lu Li had also heard about the deeds of this King Rong from Hua Li, so he relaxed his vigilance a little, and said with a slightly detached smile: "I don't know what King Rong is visiting this time?" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Man couldn't help but look up at this King Rong, the other party had been here for half an hour, but he kept chatting with himself about something he didn't have, and he still refused to say what he was here for.

Seeing that both pairs of eyes were looking at him, King Rong still maintained his previous smile, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I heard that the county lord has been coming to Canglan for a while, so I came to see if the county lord is adapting to the vicissitudes of the weather, and there is no other meaning." ”

"Since that's the case, then thank you for your care." Lu Li didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly cut off the topic, so that the other party had no way to follow it.

But obviously, they all underestimated the thickness of this prince's skin, and after Lu Li said such words that were almost expelling, King Rong just smiled lightly, then turned around and sat back in his seat, slowly and leisurely picked up the teacup, and did not speak.

Xiao Man and Lu Li couldn't help but look at each other, and they saw a little doubt and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the next person said that it was time to eat again, Xiaoman had to politely invite King Rong, as she expected, this King Rong was very unceremoniously agreed, and also urged them to go to the dining room, helpless Xiaoman could only lead the way in front.

When he arrived at the dining room, King Rong glanced at the food on the table and was slightly disgusted: "You just eat these things?" ”
