"Lu Li's letter?"

Hearing this, Xia Wanrou snatched the letter from Wei Xiuyuan's hand, hurriedly walked to the bedroom, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, your General Lu has sent a letter." ”

Xiao Man hurriedly took the letter, opened the envelope, flattened the letter with trembling hands, and quickly finished reading Lu Li's letter at a glance.

After reading it, she sighed and put the envelope in the place of her heart, lowered her eyes, and did not speak for a long time.

The border is bitterly cold, but Lu Li never mentions this matter every time he writes to him, on the contrary, he always tells himself some interesting things about the war and march, Xiaoman knows that he is trying not to worry about himself, but he doesn't mention it every time, she will only be more worried.

Thinking about it, Xiao Man hurriedly asked Pearl to wash and change his clothes, and then hurriedly walked outside, "Brother Wei, when will Lu Li's letter to the emperor say when he will come back?" ”

"This ......" Wei Xiuyuan touched his nose in embarrassment and shook his head, "No, most of Lu Li's letter to the emperor is about military affairs, and there is no mention of the return date." ”

Xiaoman, who was full of expectations, immediately fell a little.

Seeing this, Wei Xiuyuan was busy remedy: "However, the war at the border pass has become more and more clear, and the barbarians are now just fighting for trapped beasts, and they can't last long, presumably in less than a year, Lu Li will definitely be able to triumph." ”

Xiao Man pouted and muttered alone: "It's going to be another year......"

A year later, she and Lu Li's children were born, which was too long.

She couldn't help but lower her head, read the letter again, and then sighed and put it away under the pillow as usual, looking very gloomy.

Seeing her appearance, Xia Wanrou was so angry that she twisted Wei Xiuyuan's arm and warned in a low voice: "If you can't speak, don't speak, get out quickly!" ”

After driving Wei Xiuyuan away, Xia Wanrou stepped forward again and swore an oath: "Xiaoman, don't worry, what Wei Xiuyuan said is just a conservative estimate, Lu Li is so powerful, and he has killed the enemy several times, he will definitely be able to come back before the child is born!" “

is the same woman, how can she not know what Xiaoman is worried about, even if Xiaoman looked like she could do anything before, but when she produces such a thing, she definitely still wants the child's father to accompany her, even if she can't give much help, at least she can have a comfort.

"Sister Wanrou, it would be nice if what you said was true." Xiaoman said lonely.

Who can say when the return date is accurate for such a thing as marching and fighting? Lu Li didn't mention it to the emperor, it seems that maybe it will really be as Wei Xiuyuan said, at least a year.

Looking at her appearance, Xia Wanrou regretted it, she knew that it was better not to send this letter in.

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door, breaking the silence in the room.

Seeing that the two of them sighed, Hongyu didn't speak, quietly went to open the door, and saw that the jade outside the door was about to walk in, she hurriedly stopped and whispered: "Your wife is annoying, it's not important to disturb easily." ”

"It's a matter of deciding what matters, let me in." Because she ran too fast, Jade's face was flushed, there were still beads of sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose, and she was holding a thick pile of paper in her hand, not knowing what it was.

Hongyu couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this?" ”

Jade smirked and hid the pile of paper behind her, "This is for Madame, you'll find out later." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xia Wanrou's voice sounded: "Who is outside?" ”

Ruby turned sideways to answer, but she didn't want Jade to take advantage of this opportunity, so she bent down and got under her arm, and trotted into the bedroom.

"You girl." Ruby smiled helplessly, then lowered the curtain and entered the bedroom.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Hongyu heard Jade's introduction: "This is the bedroom of the two ladies upstairs, this is the workshop of Sister Qin Chun and Brother Zhou downstairs, this is the furnishings requested by Mrs. Wei, and the whole set of tables and chairs ordered by Mrs. Wei to be made by craftsmen, which are also ready, and now they are in the shop on Liuye Street!" ”

Guarding, Jade took out a few pieces of paper from her arms, and after she placed them in front of Xiao Man one by one, she continued to explain: "The plaque made by the lady ordered the craftsman is also good, this is the auspicious day and auspicious time specially found by Mr., the store has been cleaned, just wait for the two shopkeepers to be in charge, pick one of these auspicious times to come out, and you can open." ”

The name of the new shop is still the same as the old one, which is called "Manrou Embroidery Workshop", and as for the furnishings in the store, it is the same as that on the street in the east of the city, but because the semicolon shop is larger, some new objects have been added according to the requirements of the two shopkeepers.

Now everything is ready, just wait for them to see it, and if they are satisfied, they can choose an auspicious day to open.

Xiaoman's face was finally better than before, she looked over one by one, and was very satisfied with the decoration of the semicolon, and couldn't wait to fly to the semicolon to take a look.

Xia Wanrou on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, she sat next to Xiao Man, took a piece of drawing paper and looked at it twice, and praised: "I don't know who came up with the method, I know that you can't go to see it in person, but I actually drew the scene in the store on the paper little by little, and brought it back to show you, it's really heartfelt." ”

Hearing this, Jade smiled proudly: "Thank you Mrs. Wei for the compliment." ”

"Is this the way you want to do it?" Xia Wanrou was shocked.

In her impression, this jade is a little reckless, and young, sometimes she doesn't choose what to say, and she can't imagine that she can think of such a good method.

But who knows, Jade shook her head, "This method was conceived by Madame, and the slave maid just drew the appearance of the shop with paper and pen according to Madame's method." ”

At this time, Xia Wanrou was even more surprised.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Su Xiaoman couldn't help but smile, "Jade is very talented, originally I just wanted to teach her to draw patterns, but she has a very bright brain, learns quickly, and can draw inferences." ”

After speaking, Su Xiaoman touched his stomach and pursed his lips a little embarrassed, "I'm a little hungry......"

"The kitchen has been hot with food, I'll have someone bring it in immediately, you eat more, and we'll go to Willow Leaf Street to see the shop later."

"Good!"

When I arrived at the Manrou Embroidery Workshop on Liuye Street, there were already many people outside the door, three floors inside and three floors outside, and it was very lively.

Xia Wanrou helped Hongyu's hand down, and joked with Xiaoman with a smile: "Look, we haven't opened yet, and we have attracted so many onlookers, so you can imagine how popular this will be after we really open." ”

Xiaoman also got out of the carriage, put his right hand on his stomach, and said with a smile: "I was worried before, but now it seems that I am worried." ”

With that, the two walked side by side towards the door.

The little servant in the Lu Mansion walked at the front, in case the crowd suddenly dispersed and affected Su Xiaoman, he shouted loudly as he walked: "Let one, let one, everyone let one, let our lady go in first!" ”

The crowd around the water did not seem to be able to hear, and they were still crowded and shouting, without the slightest intention of getting out of the way.

"Let's go! Let's let our lady in first! The little guy continued to shout at the top of his voice.

Xu shouted loudly this time, and finally someone turned around, but scoffed: "What kind of noble figure is your wife, why should we get out of the way?" Get out of the way! ”

The little guy was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he raised his voice and roared at the man: "Our lady is the shopkeeper here, and this shop belongs to our wife, don't you get out of the way!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone turned around and looked at Xia Wan and Xiao Man behind the little guy viciously, as if they would pounce on them with a mouth full of fangs in the next second.

Xiao Wu took a few steps back in fear, and looked at Xiao Man in horror, not knowing that what he said hit everyone, how could they suddenly become like this?

"You're the shopkeeper of this house?" One of the men, who was about fifty years old, looked at Su Xiaoman and asked in a rough voice. This person was very fat, and there were a lot of oil stains on his clothes, and because he was too fat, the fat on his face was shaking when he spoke.

The frightened Xiaoman subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and thought to himself: Good girl, this person is like the famous butcher in Bishui Village, won't this person in front of him also be a pig killer, right?

Just thinking about it, the fat-faced man asked in a rough voice, "Why don't you speak, are you the shopkeeper of this house?!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Man nodded again and again, "I'm the shopkeeper here, what's wrong?" ”

"Brothers! That's her! She's the shopkeeper of the house! The man suddenly became excited, and he shouted to the people behind him: "Everyone has revenge, there are grievances, don't be fooled by this woman's appearance!" ”

Saying that, the crowd of people who were originally gathered in front of the Manrou Embroidery Workshop started to stir, and they all rushed in the direction of Xiaoman.

Seeing this, the little servant of the Lu family hurriedly blocked in front of Xiao Man, "What are you doing!" Our lady is still pregnant, don't mess around! ”

"Pregnant? Hum! A woman in the crowd snorted coldly, pointed at Su Xiaoman, and complained: "You are all going to be a mother, how can you still be ruthless to frame other people's children, won't your heart hurt?" Aren't you afraid that Heaven will reward your children? ”

"That's it, you actually got some inferior materials, and the children of other people's families are gone, but you are still here to open a semicolon, do you have a conscience?!"

"It's a black-hearted businessman like you, who says that the most poisonous woman's heart, no business, no business, no adultery, you have all of both, you poisonous woman!"

There were many people in the crowd who echoed it, and everyone said a word, from accusation to insult, and the crowd was excited.

The more Xiao Man listened, the more confused she became, she scratched the back of her head, looked at Xia Wanrou in confusion, and said in a low voice: "Sister Wanrou, what's going on?" ”

Xia Wanrou was also puzzled, she shook her head, "I don't know, but Xiaoman, these people seem to be very excited, let's go back first, and then investigate slowly." ”

"It's fine." Xiaoman nodded.

The two turned around and were about to get into the carriage and leave, when a roar suddenly sounded behind them: "Don't let them run!" Stop them! ”
