Chapter 563 Three women and one drama
Before the good news could be heard, the Marquis spoke first, "Fu Niu'er will come every five days from now on, and she will go into the city with your mother.
“My adoptive father is not at home, so you can take care of the favors for my adoptive father. Check the shop’s incoming and outgoing accounts at the end of every month. If the shop needs to be adjusted, just make bold arrangements.”
“Father, I don’t know how!” Jiayin quickly waved her hand.
This time, it’s not that she wants to be lazy, she actually has no experience in managing such a large mansion and family business!
Recalling the ownership of the shops, she added, "Also, adoptive father, please don't transfer those shops to my name. You have already given me a lot of things!"
The Marquis shook his head and insisted: "It's not difficult to be a master. If you don't understand anything, the housekeeper can teach you.
“As for the shop, it’s in your name for easy management. If I need it in the future, it won’t be difficult to change it back.”
What good news can I say? The adoptive father has made up his mind to "buy and sell by force"!
The chief steward was very discerning and quickly brought over the materials that were rewarded by the palace. He greeted the good news warmly, "Princess, come and choose. I think this Yunxia brocade is the best for a quilted coat."
"Although it's still hot now, it will be cold in two months. The old slave asked the embroidery room to spend some time making a few sets of dresses for the princess to meet guests!"
There is no woman who doesn’t love beauty, especially clothes and jewelry. She has no resistance at all.
Jiayin was attracted by the brocades that filled his eyes. He couldn't help but come forward and said, "Uncle housekeeper, I have painted some different styles of clothes. Please call two embroiderers over for me. I want to talk to them."
"Okay!" The housekeeper quickly called the maid to the sewing room and called the two leading ladies over.
The style Jiayin came up with this time is a new style with a pipa collar and a semi-stand collar. She plans to make a coat and skirt for her grandma.
When the two nuns saw Mr. Hou present, they wanted to do their best to show off their professional skills!
After all, there is only one master in the house, and he is still away from home all year round. They are really worried about being idle, and they are afraid that they will be downsized and sold...
The Marquis was disturbed by the fact that three women were performing a play, so he ordered the butler to go to the warehouse and bring over half of the materials suitable for women, so that the good news could be chosen and used as he pleased.
If there is anything left, load it into a car and send it to Li’s house.
The housekeeper agreed, and the Marquis went to the study to deal with some documents.
When the sun rose above the head, the two nuns brought a lot of brocade and fabrics and returned to the embroidery room with satisfaction.
Jiayin rubbed her rumbling belly and jumped up and down to find her adoptive father.
Just in time, the Marquis had finished his work. After the father and daughter reunited, they went straight to Cyclamen.
At this time, it is lunch time, and Cyclamen is the busiest time.
But I don’t know whether it was because of Li Zhensheng’s absence or the hot weather, but the attendance at Cyclamen was lower than before.
There are a total of ten tables in the lobby, but only seven are occupied. There are also free rooms in the private rooms upstairs.
Jia Huan walked around in the lobby, feeling a little worried.
Uncle is not at home, he has not taken care of the business...
At this time, the Marquis entered the door with good news.
The Marquis was dressed in a brocade gown the color of the rain, with a jade belt wrapped around his waist, and his black hair tied with a jade hairpin.
He is tall, handsome, and has a calm expression. He is a presence that people can spot at a glance no matter where he stands.
Jiayin wore a pink slanted-breasted shirt today, paired with an ivory white pleated skirt. There was no embroidery on the skirt and skirt corners, and was only trimmed with soybean-sized pearls. It was unique and beautiful.
There were two small flower buds on her head, two pearl strings, and a red gold necklace with eight treasures hanging on her neck. It set off her fair and round little face, and she looked so happy and cute no matter how she looked.
Everyone subconsciously stopped their chopsticks and looked over, wondering where this noble man came from. He was so outstanding... The family was delighted to see him, but they were extremely happy. They hurriedly came forward and said, "Master Hou, Fu Niu'er, what are you doing?" coming?"
Jiayin smiled and held her brother's hand and said, "My adoptive father said that my uncle is not at home, so he brought me to support my second brother and see if anyone bullies my second brother?!"
The family laughed honestly, touched her sister's hair, and said to Mr. Hou: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, everything is fine. It's just that I'm not as busy as before. I'm thinking about introducing two new dishes!"
The Marquis nodded and replied, "Let's cook some dishes first. Fu Niu'er is hungry."
“Okay, Lord Marquis, come with me to the backyard room, it’s quiet there.”
Jia Huan quickly took his sister and led the Marquis back.
The Marquis looked around at everyone in the lobby, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then went to the backyard.
The lobby was quiet for a moment, then suddenly became lively.
“Who is this person? I haven’t heard that we all have such an outstanding person?”
One of the guests shouted first, and then his companions laughed at him.
"You actually don't know Xintinghou? That's Xintinghou, who just returned in triumph!" The companion was very excited and shouted in a low voice.
The person who was laughed at was unconvinced and retorted: "Didn't you say that Marquis Xinting is not married? This man just now had his daughter!"
His companion no longer wanted to be associated with such a fool, and said feebly: "The Marquis of Xinting is not married and has no children, but have you forgotten that he has an adopted daughter? That is Princess Kangle, Princess Kangle!"
Others also said: "Yes, that is Princess Kangle, and she is called the second brother of Boss Xiao Li. It is definitely correct!"
"It is said that the Marquis and the Li family are very close to each other, but I still don't believe it. I saw it with my own eyes today and realized that this is not an ordinary close relationship! The Marquis has such a cold temper, and he actually came to support Mr. Li..." An old man stroked his beard and said with a strange expression.
I don’t know whether he is envious of the Li family, or whether he feels that the Marquis is lowering his status by doing this.
Of course, no matter what they think, it is their business...
There is a side room in the backyard, which is very clean. It is where Jia Huan and Li Zhensheng usually stay.
Most of the time when family members come over, they rest here.
In the house, as soon as you enter the door, there is a small kang on the inside that can accommodate four or five people.
There is a large square table placed near the window. It is very convenient for organizing account books, reading and writing, and setting meals after tidying up.
There is a high stool in the corner, and there is a pot of camellia that is blooming vigorously. It is not a rare species, but it is better because the flowers crowd the branches, gorgeous and beautiful.
Jia Huan took the snack box, called the boy to deliver tea, and then went to cook the stove herself.
At this time, it happened that Li Laoer also came over.
It turned out that he had just returned from the Relief Department and thought there was nothing to eat in Baiyuan Garden, so he came over to take a look.
"Second uncle, why are you here? My adoptive father and I said that we would go see you and see the flowers after we have eaten!" Jiayin greeted the second uncle, poured tea for him, and took two pieces of Changbai cake.
Li Laoer was also really hungry. He ate up the Changbai cake in two mouthfuls, and then he smiled and said to the Marquis: "If the Marquis is not coming, I would also like to find an opportunity to talk to the Marquis."
“What a coincidence, so am I.” The Marquis smiled, “I went into the palace to make two arrangements with the Emperor this morning, and I was planning to talk to you about it…”
