The matter of chasing the seal is just a casual mention, of course, it can't be counted, and now that there are steps down, no one will catch this stalk. In the dust in the distance, Huo Tainan looked up into the distance, but he remembered that gentle face in his heart.

At this time, there was still a mist in the streets of Kyoto, and the cold weather stifled the shouts of the vendors, and the sound of horse-drawn carriages pressing against bluestone slabs was particularly abrupt in the silence of the streets.

Distressedly, she helped Chu Liangrao tighten her collar, and Mother Du complained: "I really don't know what happened to the people in this palace, I came to invite the county lord every once in a while, and now the county lord is already incapacitated." ”

I don't know how Concubine Xiong learned about it, and she also sent a message saying that she wanted to see Chu Liangrao's sister, and said that if Chu Liangrao didn't come, she would look down on her.

Such a move is a gamble if it is small, and if it is big, it is a matter of the attitude of the Xiong family.

Now Xiong Guifei is in full swing in the harem, and the eldest son of the Xiong family has also 'mixed' a place in the court, and the Xiong family has gradually become prominent.

What the meaning of Xiong Guiren's move was, he disappeared, and no one could say clearly.

But Chu Liangrao knew that she couldn't push it off.

Holding the stove in her hand, Chu Liangrao leaned her head on Du's mother's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, mom don't let these trivial things block your heart." ”

When it comes to the New Year, Du's mother is sour again, other people's homes are waiting for the New Year, but their own ancestor vigil has to be done by Chu Liangrao alone, and Chu Liangrao will personally see every sacrifice, plus the New Year's goods for the family, as well as the gift list of the family who can move around, it takes a lot of thought.

But now Chu Liangrao has a big belly, and she has to walk a little slower, and she has to bother to do this.

Du's mother also persuaded Chu Liangrao to 'hand' things over to her subordinates to do, and finally look at the results. But Chu Liangrao couldn't rest assured, after all, this was the first New Year she married, and this was the most important event of the year.

Because of this, Chu Liangrao gave Zhu Xiucai full authority to take charge of the affairs of the store.

The end of the year is approaching, and all the orders in the store have been completed, although the number of orders these days is not as good as the first month of the store, but the profit is very considerable. In addition, the employees are basically settled, so Zhu Xiucai really has a lot of worries.

According to Chu Liangjiao's orders, no one was given dividends, and they gathered together to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in advance, and Zhu Xiucai sent everyone home for the New Year. After all, most of these people are poor at home, and there are a lot of things to prepare for the New Year, so it is good to let them go back early.

Zhu Xiucai and Zhu Yong stayed in the store and were responsible for taking orders for the 'spring' day of the coming year.

Because Zhu Yong's house is in Kyoto, it is convenient to go back and forth, so when he offered to help look at the store, Zhu Xiucai did not refuse. Zhu Yong knew that Zhu Xiucai was mostly guarding the store this year, so he proposed to come here for the New Year, but Zhu Xiucai refused to let him, after all, Zhu Lao Zi also came to Kyoto, just to celebrate the New Year with his son, why did he bother to participate in the New Year to make people have a bad New Year.

Thinking about it, Zhu Xiucai said: "You, don't worry about me, my 'daughter' will come to celebrate the New Year with me." ”

Zhu Yong knew that Zhu Xiucai's 'daughter' was also working in Kyoto, but he didn't expect that his 'daughter' was the first-class maid Lilac next to Chu Liangrao, although he had always wondered why Zhu Xiucai didn't 'get' his 'daughter' to work in the store, but Zhu Yong thought that this was someone's family affair after all, and it was not a matter for him to care too much, so he buried his 'sex' in his heart.

When she came back from the palace, Chu Liangrao came to the store to sit down, and because Zhu Xiucai went upstairs to clean up, Zhu Yong received her.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao's belly was already quite big, Zhu Yong scratched his head and said, "Vice General Huo is really a blessing. ”

Smiling gently, Chu Liangrao said: "The order now is to order clothes for the 'spring' day?" ”

"Yes, winter is coming to an end, so the store doesn't accept winter clothes." Guiding Chu Liangrao to sit on a chair with two layers of cushions, Zhu Yong took out a booklet and said, "This is the style of 'spring' clothes, you can take a look at the county lord, and there are all kinds of 'flowers' behind this, the county lord can mention any material he wants, it is Yanxia silk, and our store can 'get' it." ”

"Hmm." Responding gently, Chu Liangrao flipped through the booklet with one hand, and saw that there were a few pictures in it that she had never seen before, she couldn't help but be puzzled, raised her eyes and asked, "Who thinks of these?" ”

After taking a closer look, Zhu Yong replied respectfully: "It's a newcomer from the store, the county lord doesn't know, this person can also embroider on both sides, and the embroidery work is the master who said it was good." ”

When it comes to double-sided embroidery, Chu Liangrao remembered that she had indeed recruited a 'girl' who could embroider on both sides.

Taking a closer look at the 'flowers' of these designs, Chu Liangrao feels more and more that this 'girl' is not simple, these cumbersome 'flowers' look very gorgeous, with a decent version, the beauty of classical service 'service' is perfectly interpreted, mixed with the style with new concepts, not only does not lose its brilliance, but on the contrary, it is also set off more and more charming.

It seems that I have really picked up a treasure this time.

Raising his hand to pick up the pen, he lightly hooked a stroke on the water blue 'color' peony 'flower' skirt, Chu Liangrao pursed her lips and said, "Now my figure, I'm afraid it won't fit even if I make it." ”

This is also true, Zhu Yong thought for a while, and said: "If the county lord likes it, you can order summer clothes, you are the VIP of the store, two seasons in advance, the shopkeeper should not say anything......" After saying with little confidence, Zhu Yong looked upstairs.

Such a blatant opening of the back 'door' made Chu Liangrao laugh in her heart, and she deliberately asked, "Should it?" ”

Without waiting for Zhu Yong to explain, footsteps sounded at the staircase, and it was Zhu Xiucai who walked down from the stairs. Seeing Chu Liangrao, he hurriedly greeted him: "It turned out that the county lord was here." ”

"Shopkeeper Zhu." Chu Liangrao nodded and greeted, "I'll just come and see what new styles there are, but I have a few 'flowers' in sight, I wonder if I can order summer clothes in advance?" ”

"This ......," Zhu Xiucai said embarrassedly, "The county lord doesn't know, the rules of the store are dead, I'm afraid it can't be like this." ”

Seeing Zhu Xiucai's actions, Chu Liangrao nodded secretly.

Zhu Yong looked embarrassed, pulled Zhu Xiucai and said, "The shopkeeper, the county lord is a frequent customer in the store." Glancing at Zhu Yong, Zhu Xiucai smiled and said, "Let the county lord see and laugh, but this thing really won't work." With a slight bow, Chu Liangrao said: "I can also understand the difficulty of the shopkeeper, as the so-called no rules are not a circle, if you make an exception for me, if you have one, you will give birth to two, and then I am afraid that it will be 'chaotic'." ”
