Raising her eyes to look at Chu Liangrao, who looked faint, Lilac couldn't help but feel fear in her heart, as a person close to Chu Liangrao, she couldn't see that Chu Liangrao was really angry at this time, but if she wanted her to tell the truth, she couldn't open her mouth.

The circles under her eyes were red, and Lilac buried her head and retreated.

Mother Du hurriedly persuaded: "County Lord, I can't complain about Lilac in this matter." ”

"Mom, it's already happened, why hide it, it's better to say it, and many people have ideas."

Even if she didn't say this, Du's mother was also going to say it, she bowed down and said, "Speaking of which, it's because of Mr. Zhu's ......"

Really...... If it weren't for Zhu Xiucai, I'm afraid no one would be able to control the cloves.

Raising her eyes to look at Mother Du, Chu Liangrao said, "What did Mr. Zhu say?" ”

"Mr. said that he has already given Lilac a good look, rather than bothering the county lord, it is better to support himself, and now that he has a net worth, it is not impossible to give Lilac a decent dowry, so I have this thought." After that, Mother Du cautiously looked at Chu Liangrao's face, no matter what, Zhu Xiucai's behavior was really a little carried away, if it wasn't for the county lord, where would he have today's status.

Chu Liangrao was not angry, and only asked, "Which one do you like?" ”

"It's a family surnamed Zhu, called Zhu Yong, who said that he was also working in the store." Du's mother said.

As soon as she heard that it was Zhu Yong, Chu Liangrao couldn't help sneering in her heart, this Zhu Xiucai is really good at doing things, and when he grows up, he is still a sour Xiucai with a mouse eye in the end. In the past year, he has given him a lot of favors, and he feels that he has the right to call the shots.

Suppressing the displeasure in her heart, Chu Liangrao asked, "What does Lilac think?" ”

"Lilac listens to her father." Du's mother said.

Chu Liangrao's hand couldn't help but clench a little, and said, "Since she has thought about it, then let her be." ”

Mother Du was stunned when she heard this, she looked at Chu Liangrao and asked, "County Lord, don't you persuade Lilac?" Where can this 'door' family matter compare to Mo Qing's, Mr. Zhu can't figure it out, but Lilac is clear, why don't you let your mother and Lilac persuade Mr. Zhu? ”

Shaking her head, Chu Liangrao said: "Lilac will be old enough next year, let her out of the house when the time comes, it's a pity for Mo Qing." ”

"That kid is indeed a good ......," Du's mother sighed.

Chu Liangrao didn't say much about this matter anymore, but said: "Pick two more clever maids, mention the second-class maids, and follow Zhen'er and Zhu'er to do things on weekdays, and let Ding Lan be responsible for my side." ”

Such a resolute decision was actually half ruthless, Du's mother was in a pang in her heart, and she didn't say much about Chu Liangrao's anger.

Mother Du pondered that Chu Liangrao should be fine in two days, how did she know that she had really made up her mind.

Chu Liangrao's heart is not reluctant, Lilac, a maid who knows words and hyphenation, is cultivated, and has a little courage in plain life, but she still has to be pressed by the word filial piety.

As for Mr. Zhu, since he is sick, he doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the store.

Huo Tainan recommended her a person who knew how to manage accounts before, and she also felt that Huo Tainan was doing too much, but now that she thinks about it, he really knows everything, so he will keep a hand for himself.

Thinking about it, Chu Liangrao said again: "Mr. Zhu has worked hard this year, and it is not easy, so he will be given his share." Mother Du couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and had a little bad premonition in her heart, but she heard Chu Liangrao say, "My master recommended a reliable one before, and when the time comes, I will 'hand' over the things in the store, and then I will sell it out while the business is good." ”

"County Lord......" Du's mother was shocked and persuaded, "Now that business is a good time, wouldn't it be a pity if the store is closed?" ”

"Mom, don't worry, I didn't deal with it like this, I had a plan."

I'm afraid that Kyoto will not be stable this year, so instead of guarding the huge store, it is better to give up the immediate interests and seek long-term peace.

Mother Du didn't believe it, she only felt that Chu Liangrao was angry with Zhu Xiucai, and when she came out of the room, she found Lilac and said, "You have time to persuade your father, and see what the county lord has become?" The county lord said that he would sell the store out. ”

Lilac was stunned, and said, "How come, the county lord has put so much effort into the store......

"Hey, you don't want to think about how much the county lord has put into you, it's your father, isn't the county lord's idea for his livelihood after coming to Kyoto, if it weren't for the county lord, how would you have your current life?" Du's mother was a little indignant, and said, "Your father is good, life is better, and he doesn't recognize people when he turns his head, which doesn't make people feel sad, but the county horse is not there." ”

Lowering her face, Lilac was also ashamed and embarrassed.

Mother Du was very energetic, and she said again: "The county lord also said, this rule is dead, no matter how you have to wait until you are old enough next year to let you out of the house, you can't break the rules again and again because of you, what do you think about letting the maids below see it?" ”

Hearing this, Lilac cried, she pulled Du's mother's sleeve and said: "Mom, the slave and maid really have no second heart for the county lord, and the slave and maid really want to serve the county lord for a lifetime, but the order of the parents, the slave and the maid also have difficulties." ”

Mother Du still had a little pity for Lilac, but when she heard this, her face changed, and she said: "You don't have to worry about things in the county lord's room in the future." As he spoke, he pulled back his sleeves and left on his own.

Lilac hid her face and cried, crying silently.

Hearing the movement, Zhen'er ran over first, seeing Lilac crying like this, and thinking of Fang Caidu's mother's expression, she wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade, and finally just handed the handkerchief and went to do things again.

Zhu'er said a few soft words, but it seemed that Lilac didn't listen, Zhu'er sighed, fetched water to wipe Lilac's face, and asked, "Does my sister feel wronged?" ”

Wiping her face, Lilac stopped crying, she shook her head and didn't speak.

"Mr. Zhu is my sister's biological father, and when he speaks, my sister doesn't dare to disobey, but my sister never thought that the county lord takes such care of my sister, which means that it is not an exaggeration to say that the grace of recreation." Zhu'er said, "This time, it was my sister who was not kind." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu'er, who has always been simple-minded, thought like this, Lilac shed tears again, and said: "I remember the good of the county lord, so I have to be a cow and a horse in the next life and then return." Hearing this, Zhu'er's face changed, she stood up, and shook her head slightly. After Zhu'er left, there was only the sound of Lilac sobbing in the house, and she thought of her father's 'handover' generation again: "The Zhu family is a big family, and I don't know how much better it is than the trusted petty official. ”
