"Madame, this is my list, please take a look." Bai Jiawang took a thick stack of papers and handed it to Red Sleeves.

Red Sleeves took it and handed it to Qin Ranran.

Qin Ranran flipped through the pages and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Mr. Bai, why does your list look a little old?" ”

Bai Jiawang bowed down and said, "Madam, those old ones were sorted out after coming to Suzhou, and they happened to be used today, so I took them out." ”

"Oh? I don't know what Mr. Bai has sorted out for what? Qin Ranran was even more curious.

"Don't get me wrong, madam, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I have a habit of making a list of items worth doing in this place whenever I go to a place, so that I won't be in a hurry when I can use it, even if I don't use it, I can be regarded as gaining knowledge." Bai Jiawang was a little worried that Qin Ranran would misunderstand his behavior, so he hurriedly explained.

Qin Ranran carefully flipped through a few pages, which recorded in detail the cloth produced by various silk and satin houses in Suzhou, what colors, and what textures were suitable for transport. In the latest few pages, I have written down some jewelry patterns, materials, and the shops that are best at making jewelry.

"You're doing a good job, I wonder how you're looking for a shop?" Qin Ranran handed the paper to Red Sleeves and asked her to put it away.

Bai Jiawang said respectfully: "I have already seen a shop in the west of the city, the rent is fifty taels of silver a year, with a warehouse and a large backyard, which can put the goods and carriages. It's just that Mrs. needs to hire a few nursing homes who know kung fu, and the security of this Suzhou City is not very good. ”

Qin Ranran nodded, signaling that she understood, and then said: "Tomorrow we will go to see the shop you said, it just so happens that you will also follow me to see the place I am optimistic about in the eastern part of the city, I am also a little tired today, you go back and rest first." ”

Bai Jiawang couldn't wait to go and set the shop immediately, so as not to make extraneous branches, such a big place, that rent is already extremely rare, and the location of the key shop is still facing the main road in the west of the city, I don't know how many people are staring at it.

But because the master had already said that he was tired today, he couldn't say anything more.

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Qin Ranran opened his mouth and asked, "What, is there anything else?" ”

Bai Jiawang plucked up the courage and said the concerns in his heart, Qin Ranran pondered for a moment and said, "Let Steward Li and Mother Liu accompany you to have a look, if it is suitable, it will be decided directly." If Steward Li and the two of them are not optimistic, then it doesn't count. ”

Bai Jiawang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and responded, "Yes." ”

"Red sleeves, you go and say to Uncle Li and Mother Liu, just say that I will go to see the shop for me, and if it is appropriate, it will be decided as soon as possible." She told Red Sleeves again, motioned for the two to retreat, and then got up and went back to the main house.

In the house, Lu Chengan was lying on the kang, touching Ahri lying on his stomach, looking at the ceiling and not knowing what he was thinking.

"What do you think, so engrossed?" Qin Ranran quietly walked over, snuggled up to him and said.

Lu Chengan stretched out his hand to put his arm around Qin Ranran's shoulder, touched her smooth hair, and said, "When you go to the Governor's Mansion the day after tomorrow, take a good look at the attitude of the ladies of each mansion towards you, and count which ones are grasshoppers on a rope." ”

Qin Ranran frowned slightly when she heard this: "What's the matter, you're not going well here?" ”

Lu Chengan smiled bitterly: "The credit is too great, and there are always people who want to empty my power when I come back." ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to me." Qin Ranran nodded, "Even if it's a grasshopper on another rope, I'll try to see if I can tie it to our rope." ”

Lu Chengan leaned over and kissed her hair, and suddenly pulled her up with his hand: "What did you eat for lunch?" ”

Qin Ranran: "......"

"You can't miss lunch, do you?" Lu Chengan's face was very displeased.

Qin Ranran said with a flattering smile: "I'm really a little hungry when you say this, otherwise you can take me out to eat, right?" ”

Lu Chengan looked at her cautious smile, suddenly lost his temper, called Poria to come in and help her recomb her hair, and then picked up the cat that followed him without claws: "Let's go, let's go eat my favorite dish here before." ”

Qin Ranran combed her hair and changed into a light green jacket and skirt again, looking like a gentle and fresh little woman from a good family.

She grabbed Lu Chengan's arm and teased the cat lying on Lu Chengan's shoulder, and the two walked out laughing.

Lu Chengan instructed the coachman to set up the carriage, and the two snuggled up and sat in the carriage and chatted for a while, then saw the carriage stop, Qin Ranran heard the noise outside and knew that Lu Chengan had brought him to the west of the city.

Qin Ranran lifted the curtain, but saw that it was a road that she hadn't come over during the day.

A smell of chili pepper, cumin, and barbecue mixed together came to his face, Qin Ranran's stomach gurgled, and he turned his head and looked at Lu Cheng'an: "I'm hungry." ”

Lu Chengan held down the fat raccoon who was about to move, let the coachman drink tea and eat snacks in the nearby teahouse, and he took Qin Ranran and the fat raccoon to walk slowly on the street.

"Although this is in the west of the city, it is the most delicious and most delicious street in Suzhou, when I was in the Moxi Army, I came here to treat myself after paying my military salary." Lu Chengan said to Qin Ranran, then stopped in front of a barbecue stall and put down a piece of broken silver, "Three big skewers." ”

"Great!" Now the stall owner in front of the barbecue grill picked up three large skewers that were grilled golden brown and fragrant from above, and just about to sprinkle chili peppers on them, he heard Lu Chengan say: "One of the skewers will not be sprinkled with anything." ”

The stall owner quickly took two skewers, sprinkled one layer evenly, and handed the three skewers to Lu Chengan.

Lu Chengan took a paper bag, took off the mutton on the wooden skewer, handed it to the salivating fat civet, and walked slowly forward with Qin Ranran.

"This is sea buckthorn juice, very sweet, taste, unique to the desert."

"This is a bun made of Sunit mutton, which is different from what we usually eat, try it."

"This is butter tea, from the plateau, it is very sweet, try it."

"This is a yogurt skin......

"This is a melon ......"

Along the way, Qin Ranran has eaten a round belly, and Ahri has already eaten a lot heavier.

Lu Chengan wiped his mouth for Qin Ranran with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so easily, I still have to go to the barracks in the afternoon, gather my old troops, I'll send you back, you have a good rest." ”

Qin Ranran nodded, and the two went back to the teahouse where the coachman was, drank another cup of milk tea, and then went home.

After Lu Chengan went to the barracks, Qin Ranran thought about it and called Lu Jiu: "Have you found someone in the house who can cook milk tea?" Find one more, I'll send it to Beijing. ”
