good meal

Chapter 207
At the same time, Chu Liangrao, whom the old lady was thinking about, was also holding Huo Tainan's shoulders, pressing her and saying, "I see that the craftsmen in the shop are good, so I want them to stay. What do you think, my husband?"

Narrowing his eyes lazily, Huo Tainan asked: "It's easy to talk about staying, how do you plan to arrange them?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, why don't you let my husband make up your mind?" Chu Liangrao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Huo Tainan pulled Chu Liangrao into his arms, gently kneaded her little hands and said, "You are waiting for me here, what if I don't tell you?"

Blinking his eyes, Chu Liangrao wrapped his arms around his neck and said affectionately: "My good husband, just tell me, I know you have the best way."

Hearing this, Huo Tainan pinched Chu Liangrao's face with a smile, and said: "These craftsmen are all handicrafts. If there is no work, they will not stay."

Seeing that Huo Tainan didn't seem to agree with this idea, Chu Liangrao said again: "But there are still some things that can be added to the mansion. Nowadays, there are not many craftsmen who are so skillful and honest."

"You speak good words for them, just because you like their craftsmanship?" Chu Chaoyang asked.

Chu Liangrao, who was exposed, stuck out her little tongue, rubbed Huo Tainan's shoulder mischievously and said, "That's not it."

Just as she was talking, there was a knock on the door, and Ding Xiang reported from the outside: "Princess, Mrs. Yun from Yunfu delivered a post."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao stood up from Huo Tainan's arms, but Huo Tainan pulled her into his arms and took a bite, then let go of Chu Liangrao.

Chu Liangrao, who was attacked by surprise, immediately blushed, looked at Huo Tainan angrily, and then said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, Ding Xiang walked in with her head buried, and presented Yun Fu's post with both hands, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't have seen.

Chu Liangrao had no choice but to take the post and look at it, and said, "Since Mrs. Yun is coming to visit, I'm going to make preparations."

"Yes, princess." Ding Xiang replied, "The servant girl has stepped back first."

Seeing Ding Xiang's restraint, Chu Liangrao couldn't help laughing, while Huo Tainan stroked his chin solemnly and said, "You are a witty girl."

"Say it again! Say it again!" Chu Liangrao looked at Huo Tainan seriously, then burst out laughing, then she quickly raised her face and said, "If it wasn't for you, why would my maid walk so hard every day? Hunchbacked?"

"Yes, it's all for the husband, isn't the lady saying how to deal with the husband?" Huo Tainan obediently admitted his mistake, and his voice became a little more seductive and hoarse when he spoke.

Chu Liangrao looked outside the door unnaturally, but seeing no one, she quickly bent down and kissed Huo Tainan on the forehead and said, "I'm in a good mood today. If I don't know as much as you, I'll forgive you."

"Is this the end?" Huo Tainan looked disappointed.

Chu Liangrao giggled again, the clear and sweet laughter made everyone who heard it feel light.

After fighting for a while, Huo Tainan got down to business and said: "Those craftsmen have skills, but they don't have a reputation. It is indeed a problem to gain a foothold in the capital."

Seeing Huo Tainan getting serious, Chu Liangrao nodded and said: "I've thought about this too, but I haven't thought of a way yet."

"You haven't told me why you are so concerned about this matter." Huo Tainan returned to the question just now, "Is there something difficult to say?"

Seeing him like this, Chu Liangrao actually felt a bit childish, but she thought of the frankness she promised before and said: "It's nothing, I just want them to do some more work, but it's not the time yet... "

"Isn't everything ready in the store?" Huo Tainan asked, "Is there anything else to do?"

Pulling his sleeves, Chu Liangrao lowered his head and said, "I want to buy some furniture after I have a child..."

Hearing this, Huo Tainan was overjoyed, got up and hugged Chu Liangrao for a while, speechless.Burying his face in Chu Liangrao's neck, he tightened his embrace and whispered softly: "Ah Rao, Ah Rao."

Reaching out to hug Huo Tainan, Chu Liangrao responded, "Well, I'm here."

"You're so kind." Huo Tainan said, rubbing her face like Chu Liangrao did.

Chu Liangrao, who was amused by this small gesture, patted him on the head and said, "Since I am married to you, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later. Could it be that you have no long-term plans?"

Raising his head, Huo Tainan saw something more in his eyes, and he said with certainty, "I thought about it."

Empty promises that he will not say, he will only use facts to prove that one day, his wife will have a better life.

Seeing the determination in Huo Tainan's eyes, Chu Liangrao stopped talking and just hugged him.

The two hugged each other like this, enjoying the tranquility and warmth of the moment.

After hugging for a while, Huo Tainan said: "Is there really no need to send someone to see the palace?"

"If I really sent someone there, it would be according to her wishes. Besides, my dowry is quite a lot, and you also know that I don't just open a shop just to make money."

"Well, I understand." Huo Tainan nodded, took Chu Liangrao's hand and said, "It's been hard for you these years."

Chu Liangrao smiled, eyebrows and eyes curved: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. With my father and grandmother loving me, I'm doing well. Could it be that you haven't heard of my glorious deeds?"

Before hearing Chu Liangrao mention it, Huo Tainan shook his head with a smile and said: "It's pretty enough, I'm even fond of the pretty ones."

"What do you eat, it's not you who wins the beauty back in the end." Chu Liangrao said.

"Why are you praising yourself like that?" Huo Tainan nodded Chu Liangrao's nose, and said, "I may go to Nanzhou in a few days, I'm not here, you have to be more careful."

Chu Liangrao knew about this, but she still couldn't help worrying: "Is the war over there still not going well?"

"It's just something to deal with the aftermath, don't worry." Huo Tainan said lightly, "If it wasn't for a successful start, how would I be lucky enough to marry you as your husband?"

"You're so beautiful, you still say I'm boasting." Chu Liangrao pointed at Huo Tainan's chest and said, "You should also pay attention to your body when you go out."

"Don't worry." Huo Tainan agreed, and then talked about some trivial matters with Chu Liangrao.

The two of them discussed and resolved a few problems, and then it was time to set the meal. After the meal, Chu Liangrao took a rest, while Huo Tainan went to the study.

A man who looked like a servant had been waiting in the study room early, and when he saw Huo Tainan coming, he saluted and said, "Master."

"There's no need to be too polite." Huo Tainan asked, "Have you found out the details of those craftsmen?"

"There is nothing wrong with these craftsmen. They are all innocent. It's just that the old man seems to be in trouble recently, and he is very close to the Yunfu."

Hearing about Yunfu, Huo Tainan paid attention to it, and asked again: "What's the trouble?"

"This foreman came to the capital for the first time, and he was fascinated by a young lady in a flower building. He sent a lot of money to him, and then he was caught in a gambling hall. Fortunately, he was kicked out before he became addicted to gambling. After coming out, for some reason, I met the eldest son of the Yun family and had a conversation, and my debt was lightened."

After going through it in his head, Huo Tainan asked: "Is there any relationship now?"

"Not anymore, but...Master, this Yun family has always had a reputation for being kind and charitable. Maybe it's just helping out?"

Huo Tainan didn't believe it, and said: "There are a few of these businessmen who are kind and generous. I still know what kind of people the Yun family is." After thinking for a while, he said, "Find a job and lure these craftsmen. If you go elsewhere, the monthly payment can be higher, and don't let the princess know."

After adding the last sentence, the man looked a little more solemn, and said, "I know now."

After the person left, Huo Tainan wrote a few strokes at the desk, and another person came to deliver the letter.

After doing this, Huo Tainan returned to the main room to rest. Seeing that Chu Liangrao was soundly asleep, he showed a warm smile, raised his hand to touch the creamy skin with the back of his hand, and his gaze was even more tender like water.

Chu Liangrao in her sleep felt something and moved her body. She put her hand on Huo Tainan's big hand and said in a daze, "Are you done?"

"Ah."

Shrunk in, Chu Liangrao said: "There is still some time, let's rest for a while." After speaking, without waiting for Huo Tainan's answer, he fell asleep again.

Lying down with his clothes on, Huo Tainan turned sideways and put his forehead against Chu Liangrao's, and then closed his eyes.

When Chu Liangrao woke up, he learned that Huo Tainan had gone out for something, and left a message saying that he probably wouldn't come back for dinner. This was the first time since they got married. Although Chu Liangrao understood, she was still a little bit disappointed. .But thinking that there will be a lot of time to spend together in the future, this short-term negative emotion will disappear in an instant.

During the day, all the accounts and orders that should be done have been done. Without Huo Tainan by his side, Chu Liangrao suddenly became idle, so he simply went to the kitchen to cook some side dishes by himself.As soon as the dish was ready, someone came to spread the word that the master had returned.

After wiping his hands on the apron, Chu Liangrao went out to greet her and asked, "Why did you come back so early, didn't you mean something important?"

"No matter how important things are, it's more important than having dinner with you." Looking at Chu Liangrao, Huo Tainan said, "It seems that I have a good fortune today. I have heard my father-in-law say that you are good at cooking, and I have been greedy for a long time. Take this bite."

"If you don't know how to tell me, it's not too troublesome." Chu Liangrao took off the apron, frowned slightly and said, "I also said that you are so good, why would you send me the recipe? Daddy told you."

"Why, aren't you happy?" Huo Tainan asked.

"I'm not happy, I'm just thinking that I've been here for so many days, but I haven't cooked for you. It's really..."

Raising his hand to cover Chu Liangrao's small mouth, Huo Tainan said: "These days you have to be busy taking over the housekeeper and taking care of the shop outside, so how can you find time when you are so busy. Now whenever you have time, you want to let Wei What an honor it is to be my husband."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao blushed, and said, "I'm not at fault for how it got into your mouth."

"That's natural, who told you that you are my wife?"
