boudoir

Chapter 317
Liuli waited for Ruyi to rest for a few days, and then thought it was time to arrange her tasks.After taking care of He Yuhua as soon as possible, I have to do my best to deal with the nest in Zhongyonghou's Mansion.What the hell is going on between the Empress and the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Qi Yunhao has not found out yet, and Duan Wenhui has not disappeared, this is absolutely abnormal, she has to clear these obstacles before they do it.

Although Ruyi lives alone in a courtyard, but because she is only a maid in the room after all, she does not have many maids to serve her like Aunt Mo, and there are only two maids in her room at most.Only the prince's mansion has this kind of treatment. If it is in other mansions, the housekeeper's maid is also a slave, and she only has the role of serving the master, so there is no such thing as a slave.

Before bringing the girls to the second room, Liuli also asked Yuegui to ask Wu Zhong to ask a few words, and then Wu Zhong took two new girls to the second room, one named Xiaoyu and the other Xing'er. Brought by human teeth.

Wu Zhong is an old man from Qifu, and his ancestors were the sons of Qifu's family. Except for King Dingbei, there is no one who is absolutely loyal to the other masters in the mansion. More likely, whoever he is loyal to.This is the usual mentality of ordinary family and slave life. Liuli took the responsibility of organizing the New Year's affairs alone. King Dingbei's affirmation and appreciation for her made him want to move closer to Liuli.

After chatting with him for a few words, Liuli could already see his attitude, so it was effortless for Xiaoyu and Xing'er to insert themselves into Erfang Ruyi's side.

Of course Ruyi didn't know this floor, after Xiaoyu Xing'er went in, she also beat them routinely.Both of them came out to talk to Ruier at night.Liuli thought for a while, then whispered to Rui'er, asking her to give Ruyi advice on what to do next.

Rui'er's malaise is not so serious now, except for a little sleepiness, her complexion is much better, and her appetite has increased a lot.Liuli asked Xie Er's family to add soup and vegetables to her every meal, but she also ate them all.Ji Xiaoquan came back a few days ago and learned that he was about to become a father. He was very excited, but at the same time he was also worried, afraid that Rui'er would not be able to bear it if he was not around.Rui'er told him what Liuli had said, and he was relieved again, and came to thank Liuli again, and invited Yuegui Linglan and the others to go to his house in the back street for a drink.

Liuli left Haitang Fusang in the house, gave them half a day off, and went.

Ji Xiaoquan has stolen a lot of money in the Lianxiang Building. Although he is not very skilled, he is already familiar with the general operation process.In fact, it is impossible to become proficient in a few months, and Liuli didn't plan to do so. As long as he can handle it when the shop opens, and then keep thinking about it, there will always be results.

At the end of February, Liuli went to Wanlou again. The inside and outside were basically ready. Fan Yun did things carefully. He spent a total of 1000 taels of silver. After a garden renovation, a lot of flowers and trees were added, and it looks much more elegant than before.

The hired workers have also been hired in place, only the private room in the backyard will take about ten days to complete.Liuli asked Fan Yun to invite the people from Qin Tianjian to see the auspicious day, and it was finally scheduled to open on March [-]th.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and as Liuli gradually communicates with other mansions, more and more female guests come to visit the mansions.A while ago when Lu Muyang got married, Lou Mingfang, the Luo family sisters, Huanhua and Liuli all went there. They didn't know each other before, but now they all chatted.There were also the female relatives from the Six Departments that I met in Zhongyonghou's Mansion last time, but because of the relationship between Prime Minister Zuo Yan Baikai, Liuli and the others also kept a little distance from Yan Fengyu, Sun and others.

At the beginning of March, Liuli invited Huanhua, Lou Mingfang, Luo sisters and Lu Muyang to tea in the back garden of the palace.A few people came and went to form a small circle, and they would get together when they had time, and they would send posts to each other to inform each other of any news.Lu Muyang's husband, Chen Guogong's son Nie Jue, even knew Qi Yunhao when he was a child, and he had known Lu Zhao for a long time. After Lu Muyang came to the palace twice, these three people often mixed together.

On the eve of the opening of the shop, Liuli went to inspect again, and it was all about other places, the most important thing was the elegant room in the backyard.She went in with the blueprint alone, and stayed for a long time before coming out, regardless of the anxious waiting of the people outside.

It felt relieved after seeing this, and told Ji Xiaoquan and Fan Yun to go down, and it will definitely open on March [-]th.

Qi Yunhao immediately informed Lu Zhao after receiving his wife's instructions, so that night, the chef named Huang Man who came out of West Lake Tower had already arrived at Wanlou with his luggage and pots and spoons.Although the Wanlou has not yet opened, the staff of various departments have already settled in. After Huang Man went to the kitchen to see it, he immediately assigned the red case, the white case and the assistant chefs from all over the place to take up the post.

Liuli has hardly slept well in the past few days. This is a business in which she invested money out of her head, and it used the money from the Changfanggong. The 2 taels of silver is not too much for a palace, but It is the source of income she set up for the future General's Mansion, and it means that the money generated by it will make her small family more prosperous and prosperous, and she can't help being nervous.

"It's okay to lose money, I just want to make it back for you!" Qi Yunhao always said that when he saw that she was not resting well from tossing and turning.

Liuli beat his chest angrily: "How can you say it's a loss? You can't say something auspicious!"

Don't worry about worrying, this happy day is still here.It was inconvenient for her to show her face in public, so she booked an elegant room by the window in a restaurant opposite Wanlou, and stared at the opposite side.

Maybe it's because of the good location of the shop, or maybe it's because Wanlou's reputation for being friendly and hospitable has spread, but there are quite a few people who go in, and the weather is very sunny. The waiter at the door soliciting business was also hospitable, so he didn't mind going in and sitting around.Many of them are still familiar, obviously they have met in the officialdom.Fan Yun had stayed in the palace before, so he had good eyesight, and he responded very well when he met someone and said something.

And Ji Xiaoquan stood in the cabinet hall with a humble attitude, discussed with Fan Yun throughout the whole process, and he didn't panic, but he looked a bit like a shopkeeper.

Seeing that the elegant room by the window on the upper floor was also full, Liuli called Ji Jiaoer, "Go and send a post to Princess Muyang and Miss Lou, saying that I heard that there is a new restaurant opened in Osmanthus Alley, and I invite you." They go to try their handicrafts at night."

In the future, both Lu Zhao and Qi Yunhao will come here to discuss matters, and she still can't make up her mind about the others. Lu Muyang originally came from the Prince's Mansion, and has the same surname as Lu, and their family Nie Jue has also mixed with Lu Zhao long ago. Well, even if you meet Lu Zhao face to face here, it's okay.And Lou Mingfang's father, Lou Zheng, had joined Lu Zhao not long ago and became an important figure in his think tank, so he was naturally not afraid.

Others are not so relieved, the Luo family sisters don't have a deep relationship, and she will not take their friendship to a deeper level before meeting Princess Yitai to explain the truth.The Song Mansion was entangled with the East Palace, so of course Shuhua couldn't invite her.Of course Huanhua was not afraid, but brother Ping was ill two days ago and couldn't get out.

In this way, only Lu Muyang and Lou Mingfang can fully communicate with each other.

Jujiao went away in a hurry, Ruier looked at the lively scene opposite and said with a smile: "It seems that grandma is worrying for nothing, we have made such sufficient preparations, taking advantage of the right time, place and people, it is impossible not to do it .”

Haitang smiled and said, "Rui'er is now the shopkeeper's wife."

Rui'er blushed and said angrily: "Now that Yuegui is the head guard's wife, don't be jealous, Grandma Ming'er will definitely reward you for being a deputy general's lady and a major general's lady!"

Ruier joked with Haitang, Yuegui blushed when she heard that.Liuli glanced at her, smiled, but didn't speak.

Yuegui's wedding date is set at the end of this month, which is what Liuli thought after thinking about it. She will only have time to make arrangements for her when the shop opens.When Rui'er got married back then, although it wasn't a big deal, she was still quite popular among girls.And later Liuli also rewarded her house, this time Qi Yunhao asked Fan Yun to open up the house, after all it is not as good as Rui'er.Yuegui was careless towards the inside, and didn't care about it at all, but Liuli didn't want to wrong her too much, she had to give her some respect to feel at ease.

She yawned and leaned on the beauty couch in the corner.Recently, I have been busy with so many things, and I have been short of sleep for several nights in succession. Now that I am relaxed, I really feel sleepy.

Seeing that she was sleepy, Rui'er stuffed a pillow behind her waist and said, "Go back after dinner."

Liuli nodded: "That's exactly what I mean, let's see if the general is here, let's serve the food."

When Qi Yunhao heard that she was coming, he also said in the morning that he would come to have dinner with her at noon, and it was about the same time.Haitang was about to open the door, when the door was pushed open from the outside, Qi Yunhao walked in, paused at the door, followed by another person, wearing a silver brocade gown with flowers that is common in Beijing, and wearing a top It was only March, and she was holding a folding fan upside down.

"My lord, general!"

Yuegui Ruier and the others bowed down immediately.

Liuli saw that this Kuo Shao dressed up was actually King Qing Lu Zhao, so she quickly got up from the couch.Seeing her staring at him blankly, Lu Zhao frowned at her and sat down at the table.Liuli looked at Qi Yunhao in puzzlement, and Qi Yunhao spread his arms and sat down at the table.

Liuli hurriedly said: "Let's serve." Then Qi Yunhao bowed his head and sat down.After sitting down, he stared at Lu Zhao again. Lu Zhao was annoyed by the staring, and said angrily, "What are you looking at?" Then he stared at Qi Yunhao: "What bad idea did you come up with!" Drink the tea.

Liuli saw it, and knew that it was Qi Yunhao's idea for Lu Zhao to dress like this, but you are such a sensitive prince Qing, how can you show your face here with Qi Yunhao if you don't pretend to be dressed up?Because of the matter of Hanxue Ningshuang, Liuli still had a good tone towards Lu Zhao, so she raised her lips and said, "It's so nice for the prince to dress like this. Anyone who walks out will know that you are rich."
