The beauty of the lady

Chapter 36 Adding People (1)
After speaking, he took the food box and left.

In the early afternoon of the second day, a carriage stopped slowly in front of the Zhou family's shop, and Zhou Zhouzhuang lifted the curtain, carried Mrs. Zhao and his son down, and went straight into the shop and went to the backyard .

In the backyard, Zhou Mei was putting away the quilts that had been dried, when she saw Zhou Zhou Zhuang coming in with Mrs. Zhao in her arms, she hurriedly led them into the main room with the quilts in her arms.

"Father, wait a minute, I'll make the bed right now." Zhou Mei quickly made the bed, then arranged the pillows, and then asked Zhou Zhouzhuang to put Zhao Shi and Zhou Tang on it.

Because the quilt has just been dried, it is fluffy and soft, and Zhou Mei also lit a stove in the side room, so the room is very warm now.

"Mom, are you okay on the road? Is there anything wrong?" Zhou Mei stepped forward and asked.

After Mrs. Zhao came in, she saw that her daughter was fine, so she let go of her heart. God knows how worried she was when she left her daughter here alone when Wednesday Zhuang went back yesterday.

"Don't just worry about me, it's you, a little girl who is alone in this yard, how can I let my mother rest assured, your father is really, really went back by himself." Zhao Shi said, staring I took a strong look on Wednesday.

Zhou Mei pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and covered her with a thick quilt, "I'm doing well, aren't I? We're a little nervous about the preparations this time, and we also want to let my mother see the lanterns. Besides, I won't keep Excuse me, there is no quilt in this house when my mother comes here, I also bought a few bolts of satin, and when my mother is well, I will make some new clothes for me."

"Okay, even if you're physically fit now, you can bear it." Mrs. Zhao smiled proudly while holding her daughter's hand.

"It's not bad these days, I still have something to ask my mother to help." Zhou Mei smiled slightly, "Our shop is going to open at the end of the month, so we have to work very hard now, and we have to buy people, and then put an honest man by my mother's side." Capable nanny, let her take care of your diet and daily life, and strive to make your body heal sooner. Mother still wants to teach me to read and write. In addition, it is also mother's business to train servants. I am young, and mother also Don't worry about it?"

"It's not that you don't worry. If this slave is selected well, it will be fine. If he chooses those who are tricky, our family will not be stripped alive by them." Zhao smiled and nodded her forehead.

"Yes, so after the Shangyuan Festival, I will invite a doctor for my mother. My mother hasn't gone out for several years. Tomorrow night, let's go to the shop in front and find a private room by the window for us to have a good meal. "After finishing speaking, he got up and went out. Not long after, he came in with a money bag in his hand, handed it to Mrs. Zhao and said, "Mother, here are 200 taels of silver, and there are some scattered ones. I have kept 50 taels for myself." To buy things, wait a few days for the doctor to see you, and then we will find a matchmaker to buy someone. We are in the business of subsistence, so it is safer to be a servant with a dead contract."

"Okay, I'll do as you said. I'll keep the money for you first, and you can come and get it whenever you need it." Mrs. Zhao nodded with a smile.

"Well, I will lay down a family business for my parents and Zhou Tang."

That night, the four members of Zhou's family finally got a good night's sleep that they hadn't had for a long time. Mrs. Zhao didn't wake up until the sun was high in the morning. She was indeed tired. After all, she drove here before dawn yesterday and didn't have much rest along the way.

Anyone with a strong body should take a good rest, let alone a delicate and frail woman.

Zhou Mei has already explained what happened tonight, and the doctor Li Xun asked to find also agreed to come to the house on the [-]th to treat Mrs. Zhao. It's better to go around Fucheng well.

At noon, Zhou Mei cooked a table of dishes, moved the table to sit by the bed, and the family had a good meal together.

"I've reserved a cubicle in Xiankeju, let's go there in the evening, the food cooked by their chef is still delicious." Zhou Mei said with a smile.

"Have you eaten there?" Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "Xiankeju is very big. I heard that the master is a nobleman in the capital."

"I don't know about this, and I didn't ask. Anyway, I didn't take advantage of Xiankeju. Our two families get what we need. Mother, don't think that without Xiankeju, we have no other place to trust." , Harmony is a good thing, but brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone outsiders, and Xiankeju is not headed by shopkeeper Li.

Being able to do this now is enough to show that he is indeed worthy of cooperating with Zhou Mei.

Adding up these two lifetimes, the person Zhou Mei is most satisfied with...

Forget it, it's all over.

After dinner, Zhou Mei went back to Erjin's yard and closed her eyes to sleep for a while. After all, the earth dragon was burned, and the room was really warm.

When they got up, it was already the beginning of Shen Shi. Seeing that the time was about the same, the family changed their clothes and went to Xiankeju.

Although Mrs. Zhao is weak, she didn't take a car this time or let Zhou Zhuang carry her on her back. Instead, she put her son in her husband's hands and walked slowly with her own support. When she came to the back door of Xiankeju, the servant looked When Zhou Mei arrived, she hurriedly invited people in with a smile, and then graciously sent them to the cubicle. After a while, a clerk replaced them with tea, and they were the only ones left.

Because there is a female family member in their family today, it is not convenient for shopkeeper Li to show up, so he just tells the waiter to entertain them.

Sitting by the window on the second floor, watching the people coming in and out of the shops outside, the lanterns were hung up one by one, just waiting for the dusk to come, decorating the whole central street like a fiery tree and silver flowers.

On a day like today, if you don't reserve a seat in advance, people will snatch all the good seats in restaurants or tea houses. Fortunately, Zhou Mei thought of it in advance. Those by the window were all very happy, while those who didn't had a look of depression, but as the lanterns came on, that depression quickly disappeared.

The food came up quickly, and there were two dishes introduced by Zhou Mei. Mrs. Zhao couldn't eat the boiled fish. After the meal, I was sweating profusely again.

Zhou Tang was in Zhao's arms. He seemed very interested in looking at the scenery outside. He kept stretching his neck to look out, but he couldn't resist his mother's will. When the porridge was placed near his mouth, the little guy finally calmed down.

Seeing his lively appearance, Zhou Mei smiled and said: "There is still the Ghost Festival, and the next Lantern Festival, he will be able to walk then, mother must take care of his body quickly, otherwise I really can't take care of him."

"Yeah, Tang'er just likes to be lively, doesn't she?" Zhao said lovingly.

Zhou Tang seemed to know that his mother was talking to him, clapping his hands and laughing in agreement.

Outside, although it was night, it seemed like daytime, and various styles of lanterns bloomed gorgeously in this spacious street.
