Eat watermelon together
After sending away Steward Xing, Zhao Sichen asked someone to bring a message to Jia Xiucai, and asked Jia Xiucai to help her redesign the two shops.
Jia Xiucai was very fast, but in three or five days, he had already drawn the first draft.
Originally, Jia Xiucai was going to come to Zhao's house with the pattern, but Zhao Sichen was a neat person, so he asked Jia Xiucai to go directly to West Street, and said while looking at the storefront, it was also easy to modify.
Who knows, when Zhao Sichen arrived at West Street, he found that there was a person waiting for her in the store - Xuan Fugui?
Xuan Fugui smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and when he saw Zhao Sichen, it was like seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for decades, and he followed suit.
Zhao Sichen said curiously: "Xuan Guanshi, do you have anything else?" ”
Xuan Fugui bowed again and again: "Miss Zhao, you just call me rich." ”
"Uh...... Rich? ”
"Hey!" Xuan Fugui shouted: "Miss Zhao, I'll come to see if you need help here." ”
Zhao Sichen refused indifferently: "No need, I'll come by myself." ”
Xuan Fugui didn't seem to see Zhao Sichen's cold face, and still smiled enthusiastically: "Then I'll give Miss Zhao a hand, take a stool, and boil tea." ”
Zhao Sichen: "......"
Seeing that Xuan Fugui was busy himself, Zhao Sichen simply ignored him and took over the drawings drawn in Jia Xiucai's hands.
Jia Xiucai was a little embarrassed: "Miss Zhao, I'm good at landscape design, but I'm not good at shop design......"
Zhao Sichen said: "It's okay, it's okay......"
While unfolding the pattern in his hand.
At a glance, Zhao Sichen gasped-
Jia Xiucai felt guilty: "I am shallow in my studies, and I have ...... entrusted by Miss Zhao"
"No, no, no, Jia Xiucai, you are so good at drawing!"
Jia Xiucai envisioned planting a circle of bamboo outside the store and setting up a small bridge inside the store, so that each customer could walk across the small bridge and water before entering the lobby, which just echoed the style of the restaurant.
Daqing City is located in the north, and the dignitaries have long yearned for the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jia Xiucai drew the imagination of the people in Daqing for the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River with a few strokes!
Zhao Sichen sighed in his heart, sure enough, the master is the master.
Jia Xiucai was still worried: "Miss Zhao, do you think this pattern is suitable?" If it's not suitable, I'll change it......"
"It's so appropriate!" Zhao Sichen closed the pattern: "There is nothing that needs to be changed, just design according to this pattern!" ”
Jia Xiucai smiled, middle-aged Xiucai, with a little shame on his face.
Xuan Fugui hurriedly stepped forward: "Dare to be kind, I know a few foremen, the price is cheap, and the craftsmanship is excellent." ”
"In that case, I'm tired of announcing the affairs of the steward......"
Xuan Fugui was overjoyed: "I personally supervise the work, and there will definitely be no workers who are slack!" ”
Zhao Sichen: "......"
It turned out that the errands of the Three Princes' Mansion were so idle.
The two storefronts on West Avenue have started the renovation project vigorously.
Zhao Sichen originally thought that she would be so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground.
No idea, rich, all the work is covered!
went up to arrange work and shouted at a group of workers.
went down to the tea and handed the water, and gave Zhao Sichen a waist and a back.
Zhao Sichen went to the store every day, was pressed by Xuan Fugui on the official hat chair, swallowed melon seeds, drank a belly of tea, and didn't have to do any work.
Seeing that Xuan Fugui handled things in an orderly manner-
Zhao Sichen had to admit that although Xuan Fugui was accustomed to loving dogs and looking down on people, his ability to do things was really good.
……
……
Wei Qianlang returned to Daqing City half a month later.
Ten days ago, he received a letter from Steward Xing, saying that Zhao Sichen had rented two storefronts on Chengxi West Street.
The original one-month errand was compressed to half a month, and then he took a few guards and galloped back to Daqing City with one person and one horse.
Although he was anxious, but he had official business, Wei Qianlang could only go back to the palace first to resume his life, refused the kindness of the saint and the ladies to stay in the palace, and rushed back to the Three Princes' Mansion.
By the time he had finished washing, it was getting late, and the sky was full of stars.
Steward Xing originally asked the kitchen to prepare a soothing medicinal soup, wanting Wei Qianlang to rest early after drinking.
As soon as he walked to the front of Wei Qianlang's room, he saw Wei Qianlang put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
"Little Third Master, who are you?"
Are you going to Zhao's house again?
Steward Xing saw that Wei Qianlang's face was tired, and he was a little distressed, so he stepped forward and persuaded: "Little Third Master, you have been running around for days, riding a horse for three days back to the city, and tonight you will rest in the mansion first." ”
Wei Qianlang smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'll go out for a while and come back soon." ”
Wei Qianlang spoke softly, but he walked very quickly, revealing his slightly anxious state of mind.
Steward Xing couldn't persuade Wei Qianlang, so he had to shout to Tian Hongda: "Bring the cloak, there is cold dew at night, remember to put it on the little third master when you come back tonight." ”
Wei Qianlang didn't take the carriage, got on the horse, and walked forward first.
A quarter of an hour later, the group came to the door of Zhao's house.
Tian Hongda stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, Qingzhu's round head poked out of the door.
Wei Qianlang stepped forward and pushed open the door, and asked as he walked inside, "Where is your girl?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked around the shadow wall and saw—
Under the osmanthus tree, the yard is full of people, enjoying the shade.
Wei Qianlang's face was hot, and his heart suddenly panicked.
It's as if someone has seen a secret in my heart.
Fortunately, everyone present was informal, and no one said that his words were not polite.
Zhao Sichen was sitting on a small bamboo stool, opening his eyes to come and go, seeing Wei Qianlang, who he hadn't seen for nearly a month, he got up with a smile and said, "You are really blessed, we just started eating watermelon, and you came." ”
Everyone in the Zhao family has just finished dinner.
Aunt Zhuo pulled up the watermelon that was placed in the well water, cut it into small pieces, and served it to everyone.
Everyone, young and old, together with Zhuo Daneng, Aunt Zhuo, Qingzhu, Chunhua, and Qiuyue, gathered in the middle of the courtyard, eating watermelons and knocking melon seeds.
Seeing Wei Qianlang coming, Zhuo Daneng took a few subordinates to come forward and salute, and then quickly served fruits, pastries, tea and other things.
Zhao Sichen took the bamboo stool brought by Qingzhu, put it next to his seat, and beckoned Wei Qianlang: "Let's eat melons together." ”
Wei Qianlang's anxious heart suddenly calmed down.
He smiled and stepped forward, sat next to Zhao Sichen, took the melon, took a bite first, and looked at Zhao Sichen.
Zhao Sichen raised his finger and nodded: "The watermelon is very sweet, if there is anything, let's talk about it after eating." ”
Zhao Sichen's words appeased Wei Qianlang, he smiled slightly, and he was not in a hurry.
Guo Anyang talked about Zhao Yufeng's interesting story in the school on the side: "Yufeng is young and has a very flexible brain, Zhou Liyi praised it a few times, and some classmates became jealous.
A classmate asked Yufeng to compete to see who could recite Luoyang Fu first.
He was three years older than Yu Feng, and he studied for half a year first.
Phew, shameless!
Fortunately, Yu Feng was smart, he recited it first, and also wrote his feelings after reading, and his face grew for a while. ”
Zhao Zhufei handed Zhao Yufeng a piece of pastry: "Yufeng is really amazing." ”
Zhao Yufeng was a little proud, but he couldn't show it, and he vigorously suppressed the corners of his mouth that were involuntarily raised.
Zhao Sichen gently knocked Zhao Yufeng's head: "If you want to laugh, laugh, don't hold back." ”
Zhao Yufeng opened his mouth and smiled.
Guo Anyang boasted again: "I am rich in knowledge and loved by many students, and everyone says that my knowledge is no longer reasonable."
Recently, I played against Zhou Liyi and won him many times......"
Zhao Sichen didn't want to listen to Guo Anyang's boasting, so he diverted the topic: "Sister Yunbi has been very busy recently, she is busy in the store every day, and she comes home very late, and she can't see anyone during this time." ”
Zhao Yufeng said: "I miss Sister Yunbi......"
Guo Anyang was really taken away by Zhao Sichen and said: "What's so difficult about this, after a few days of rest, let's go to visit Yunbi together." ”
Everyone chattered and talked about the trivial things in life.
It obviously didn't make any sense, but it made Wei Qianlang feel warm inexplicably.
He grew up, where is there a crowd chatting in a circle like today?
Even if it is a family banquet in the palace, everyone sits at a table and divides it very widely.
Even if he speaks, he speaks high-sounding words.
He has ever experienced such a strong smoke and fireworks.
After eating the watermelon, the two maids of Spring Flower and Autumn Moon waited for everyone to wash their hands and dry them.
Everyone dispersed, and each went back to his room to attend to his own business.
Wei Qianlang and Zhao Sichen were in the courtyard together, walking in a circle around the wall, chatting idly.
Zhao Sichen asked, "You went out on an errand again?" ”
Wei Qianlang let out a low "um" and said, "The eldest brother is not in good health, and the second brother is ...... The second brother is favored by the saint, and Concubine Li is reluctant to let him run around, and the fourth brother is young, so I can only run out more......"
Zhao Sichen smiled: "No wonder you are so busy, it turns out that you are alone, doing the work of four people." ”
Wei Qianlang said: "As a prince, you have to be supported by the people, and you should be able to do something for the Wei State." ”
Zhao Sichen asked, "What about your studies and kung fu?" ”
Wei Qianlang said: "If the errand takes a long time, I will ask Mr. and Mr. Wuxue to accompany him." ”
While on a business trip, I also have to learn cultural knowledge and practice martial arts.
Not easy, not easy.
Zhao Sichen looked at Wei Qianlang's eyes, and couldn't help but have a little sympathy.
Wei Qianlang asked with a smile: "I was on the way, and I received a letter from Steward Xing, saying that you have taken a fancy to two shops in the mansion on West Street......
Zhao Sichen smiled: "Yes, the contract has been signed and the repair of the store has begun." ”
Wei Qianlang said: "The people below don't recognize you and offend you, I will go back and talk about them." ”
Zhao Sichen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, the propaganda manager in your house is very able to press, thanks to him, I can be so idle during this time." ”
Wei Qianlang said with a smile: "If you need manpower, just tell me - if I am not in the house, just talk to Steward Xing......"
Zhao Sichen joked: "Your storefront is in the best location on West Street." It turns out that you are so rich, fade out to escort you, and only received 20,000 taels, now that I think about it, I suffered a loss. ”
Wei Qianlang hurriedly explained: "I originally offered 20,000 taels, and I was preparing you to raise the price, but I didn't expect you to be so sincere, and ask for so many opinions." ”
Zhao Sichen was overjoyed: "A dignified third prince of the Great Wei State is actually a good businessman. ”
Wei Qianlang: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm full of copper smell." ”
Zhao Sichen took out the silver ticket: "Then again, I haven't paid the rent yet......"
Wei Qianlang took a step back: "No, no, these two shops, you can use ......"
"That's not going to work...... Zhao Sichen simply stuffed the silver ticket into Wei Qianlang's hand.
Seeing that Wei Qianlang refused to accept it, Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "Could it be that these two shops, you want to participate in the shares?" That's not good, I am going to take care of the business of these two shops for Sister Yunbi in the future, but I can't let you be a shareholder. ”
Wei Qianlang couldn't, so he had to take the silver ticket.
His fingers pinched and pinched on the thin silver ticket, and he sighed.
That's it.
