"Girl, girl, it's time to get up!"

"Huh? It's still early......"

"Girl, aren't you going to learn housekeeping from the eldest lady today? If it's late, the eldest lady should be angry with you! ”

Belch? Chamberlain?

Chu Peijin's consciousness gradually retracted, she squinted her eyes slightly and glanced outside, and the shadow outside the gauze tent was already lit up.

Cuizhu went over to help her with her clothes and said, "Didn't the girl go to bed early last night?" Why are you still sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night? ”

Chu Peijin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered in his mind that he forgot the hour of practice with the help of Jing Yan last night, and he didn't know when he slept in the end......

This stinky boy said that he taught her internal skills, but he actually did it on purpose!

Chu Peijin grinded her teeth gently, and only after getting dressed and freshening up with the help of Cuizhu did she feel a little more energetic.

After a brief breakfast, Chu Peijin took Cuizhu and Nian Xue to the Xia family.

When Chu Peijin entered, her second sister was already there, and the third sister, the fifth sister, and the ninth sister who was the youngest in the big house were asking Xia for peace.

Seeing Chu Peijin come in, Chu Peiyi happily went over and took her hand: "Big sister, you're here!" ”

Chu Peijin pulled out her hand and touched her little head with a smile, and said, "How do you feel that you have grown taller again?" Looks like I've had a good meal lately! ”

"Of course!" Chu Peiyi, who was praised, looked proud, she always wanted to be as tall and beautiful as her sisters. Chu Peijin coaxed her before that as long as she eats well, she can grow taller quickly, but now it seems that she really took this to heart.

"Yi'er, come here!"

Xia couldn't see that his little daughter was getting too close to Chu Peijin, so he called Chu Peiyi to him with a kind smile, "A few days ago, your grandmother wrote to say that she missed you, do you want to go and see your grandmother?" ”

Chu Peiyi's eyes lit up, and she asked happily, "Really?" Is my mother with me? ”

Xia Shi looked embarrassed and said, "Mother still has to prepare for your sister's birthday party, and she can't get out of it." Yi'er can go by herself and come back with your cousin when your sister celebrates her birthday, how about it? ”

When Chu Peijin heard this, her eyes flashed slightly, and she took a piece of pastry on the table to eat it, which caused Chu Peixuan to slap her cold. Chu Peijin raised her eyebrows at her, and then raised the food in her hand, Chu Peixuan snorted coldly and turned her face away from her.

Chu Peiqiong glanced at Xia's family, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked up to Chu Peijin and blessed her, and said, "Big sister is better?" I heard that your carriage met an assassin yesterday, and I thought I would go to see you last night, but my mother said that you need to rest, so I didn't go, sister, don't blame! ”

"How so?" Chu Peijin said with a smile: "If you look at the way I look now, you know that there is nothing, but it makes you worry in vain!" ”

The two sisters were polite to each other, and Xia's face was gloomy!

"Okay, let's go back if it's okay!"

Chu Peiqiong's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly withdrew with Chu Peiying, the fifth girl who had been silent, with a look of panic.

"Mother, will you go to my grandmother's house with me?" Chu Peiyi was still holding Xia's arm and trying to convince her.

Xia gently stroked her little face, and said with a look of pity: "I asked Mama Huang to accompany you back, and she will be back in two days, isn't it?" Yi'er should be well-behaved—"

Chu Peiyi thought of her grandfather's cousin Xu, her little face was full of entanglement, but she thought about it again, and she could return to her mother's side in two days, and she was suddenly happy again!

"Okay then, I'll listen to my mother!"

Xia's heart was relieved, and she hurriedly ordered Mama Huang to come over and lead Chu Peiyi to clean up her things, so she had the time to look at Chu Peijin, who was still sitting there leisurely eating.

"You follow me to the flower hall."

On weekdays, Xia's affairs are in the flower hall, where the space is large and the scenery is good.

When Xia took Chu Peijin and Chu Peixuan sisters over, there were already several stewards and grandmothers standing inside! They were very surprised when they saw Xia Shi coming over with the two girls, but they only glanced at them a few times and lowered their eyes. It can be seen that the Xia family is still very strict with their management on weekdays.

Chu Peijin and Chu Peixuan stood on both sides of Xia's seat left and right, but Xia didn't avoid them, how to deal with them or how to deal with them.

Chu Peijin actually didn't have any interest in these, and it was easier to manage subordinates in ancient times than in modern times. After all, these people's deeds of sale are all in the hands of the Xia family, which in itself is her biggest advantage! In addition, the Xia family has a good way, and the backyard of Wu'an Houfu will always be relatively peaceful.

"But what else is there that doesn't?"

A grandmother hesitated for a moment before standing up and saying, "Mrs. Qiyu, it looks like winter is about to begin, I don't know when this year's charcoal will be purchased?" The slave thinks it's better to do this sooner rather than later! ”

Xia Shi frowned and said, "I remember that in previous years, I only started buying in early October, why did I have to advance this winter?" ”

"Madame doesn't know," the grandmother said: "In previous years, the old slave was responsible for these things, but this year, seeing that the time was almost up, the old slave ran a few places to sell carbon in advance, and the old slave heard that Fu Xiangye's family had already started to buy charcoal a few days ago!" ”

Xia Shi was stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise: "You mean, Fu Xiang?" ”

The grandmother nodded, "The old slave has already asked around, and they all said that Fu Xiangfu has been buying silver frost charcoal everywhere in the past two days. ”

Xia's brows suddenly twisted into pimples!

Now that it's just winter, and there is not even a little cold feeling, why did Fu Xiangfu start to order charcoal? Isn't it going to be particularly cold this winter? However, Qin Tianjian didn't say anything like this, did he?

Xia was puzzled.

Chu Peijin's brows were also slightly wrinkled!

Fu Xiangfu, isn't it that Fu Yanjun's family! If it was said that Fu Xiangfu had nothing to do with that Fu San girl, Chu Peijin would not believe it. It's just that why is she sure that this winter will be very cold?

While Chu Peijin was thinking about it, Xia Shi was asking again: "Let people inquire, does Fu Xiangfu intend to do charcoal business?" ”

The grandmother replied: "Madam, when the old slave felt that something was wrong about this matter, he had already asked someone to inquire about it, and the old slave can be sure that Fu Xiangfu has no plans to do charcoal business. ”

Xia's face at this time was slightly solemn: "In this case, today you will order charcoal, which is fifty percent higher than in previous years!" ”

The grandmother hurriedly responded: "Madame is wise! After saying that, he retired and went to work.

Although Xia Shi gave the order, he was still a little uncertain in his heart, so he instructed Steward Ge: "You bring some people to each house today to inquire about it, and see who else has ordered charcoal this winter, mainly pay attention to the ...... that has a large amount of time and is earlier than in previous years."

Steward Ge knew the importance of this matter, so he took a few servants and then went out to run errands!

"Mother, is it really necessary for us to follow suit?" Chu Peixuan asked a little puzzled beside her.

Xia Shi looked at her lovingly and said, "You don't understand! Fu Xiangfu had never made such a big move in the past few years, so there must be a reason for them to do so this year. Whatever the reason, it's better to book more than not at all. ”

What if......

Xia thought with some uncertainty.
