good meal

Chapter 209
Looking at the pair of shining black eyes in front of him, Huo Tainan solemnly promised: "I have a lovely wife in my family, so I dare not refuse." Then, he raised his hand to shave Chu Liangrao's hair behind his ears , "No need to send it, go back, it's hot outside."

After a verbal agreement, Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan left the mansion holding hands after all, and then stopped when they saw him get on the horse waiting outside the door.

The hand holding the rein was clenched secretly, Huo Tainan took a deep look at her, then looked away as if making up his mind, and gave the order to start.The following followers followed closely behind, and disappeared after a while.

Only then did Chu Liangrao turn around and let someone close the door, and told Mother Du: "If you are free these few days, you can find some hands and feet to go to Zhuangzi's side to take care of it diligently, and then see what is missing and need to buy something. of."

"Leave this matter to Mom, so the Princess can rest assured." Mother Du said with a smile, "It's rare that the County Mayor is willing to spend a lot of money to please the Princess."

Chu Liangrao said: "How much money it costs is the second most important thing. I'm content with my husband's willingness to do so."

When he said these words, Chu Liangrao's face seemed to be bathed in soft light, and that kind of happiness from the heart was contagious to others.

Nodding in agreement, Mother Du said, "Jun Ma is indeed a caring person."

Speaking of Huo Tainan's kindness, Chu Liangrao said with a smile on his lips: "Mom usually scolds him a lot, what's wrong today?"

When this matter was mentioned, Madam Du blushed and said, "Hey, Mama is a bit talkative on weekdays, but she never meant to be disrespectful to the county horse in her heart."

"It's precisely because he knows what mother wants that Mr. Lang didn't care about it." Chu Liangrao said, "But mother should save him some face in the future."

"Mom remembers." Mother Du said.

The master and servant talked for a while, and someone was sent from the other side of the palace, saying that the weather was hot, and the princess was thinking about Chu Liangrao's body, so she specially sent iced sour plum soup over.

Chu Liangrao asked Mother Du to pick it up, and gave the visitor a purse as a reward, and then asked, "How is mother?"

"Don't worry, princess, the princess is in good health."

"Really?" Chu Liangrao asked with a hint of doubt, "How did you hear that the palace sought Dr. Fang a few days ago? Isn't this Dr. Fang the genius doctor who cured my mother?"

Facing Chu Liangrao's question, this person had no choice but to bury his head low and said: "Princess, the little one is just running errands, and the villain doesn't know these things."

Whether you know it or not is one thing, but whether you are willing to say it is another matter. Chu Liangrao just used his mouth to give Gu Shi a warning. She waved her hand and said, "It's fine if mother is fine, step back." Bar."

This person left Huo's mansion as soon as he was about to receive an amnesty.

As soon as he walked away, Mother Du took the food box containing the iced sour plum soup with her back. After all, Chu Liangrao's body was not refreshed yet, so such cold things were untouchable.And Chu Liangrao has a purpose, that is, she will not eat any delicacies from mountains and seas brought by Mrs. Gu, otherwise she will not know when she is tricked.

After Madam Du had dealt with the sour plum soup, she couldn't help but slander. The princess's daily life is very punctual every month. As the mother of the princess, the princess doesn't know?Sending ice at this time is obviously making things worse.

But Chu Liangrao didn't say anything, no matter how many words she had in her heart, she could only swallow them in her stomach.

Two days later, Zhuangzi's side was also tidied up. As for the items to be added, they also made a list. Chu Liangrao calculated that it would not cost much to remove the decorations, so he crossed out some cosmetic items. Only the practical ones remain.

Seeing how frugal Chu Liangrao is, Ding Xiang couldn't help asking: "Princess, but you can't make ends meet? You were not like this in the past."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao couldn't help laughing, not knowing how to explain it to Ding Xiang.

In fact, Huo Tainan's monthly salary is not as much as half of her princess's. If she only counts on Huo Tainan's salary, even food and clothing will be a problem. After all, there are so many servants in the mansion.

However, Huo Tainan never asked Chu Liangrao for money in his daily entertainments. In private, he gave Chu Liangrao a stub of the silver house, saying that the family's expenses were high, so he went to the silver house to get it.However, Chu Liangrao did not check how much money was saved here. So far, she has used part of the profits of the shops she married as a dowry, and the remaining part has been reserved as fixed funds for easy turnover.

Chu Liangrao knew exactly where each sum of money should be spent, so Huo Tainan's temporary surprise for her was not within the scope of this consideration.But Zhuangzi bought everything, Chu Liangrao didn't plan to resell it, after all, this was Huo Tainan's wish, so he might as well just take care of it, live in and enjoy it for two days.

Chu Liangrao thought that he would be able to live a good life now, but he didn't expect the girl Ding Xiang to be very worried after seeing it.

After figuring it out, Chu Liangrao said, "I'm the housekeeper, so you should be more careful."

Ding Xiang was dubious, but still didn't ask further questions.

After Zhuangzi packed up, Chu Liangrao moved there. This Zhuangzi was located in the outskirts, and there were a few old trees in the yard with lush branches and leaves, which just blocked the scorching sun.Before moving in, servants had fumigated the noisy cicadas and mosquitoes, so Chu Liangrao didn't suffer from these disturbances when he came in.

There is also a pond in the backyard, where the lotus flowers are blooming just right, and the breeze blows, sending wisps of fragrance, which just sets off the quiet scenery here.Although it was his first time here, Chu Liangrao still fell in love with this place, and I have to say that Huo Tainan really knew his preferences very well.

After living in Zhuangzi for a few days, the comfortable Chu Liangrao received a letter from Huo Tainan, saying in a few words that everything was fine.

Chu Liangrao replied eloquently to the three pages of letter paper, telling Huo Tainan everything in detail.

The letter was originally written by Huo Tainan on the road, so when it was delivered to Chu Liangrao, he had already traveled farther away, so it took some effort to deliver the letter.

But I have to say that when he received the letter from home, Huo Tainan was still in a happy mood.

Looking at everything that Chu Liangrao wrote in the letter, he could picture the face that made him happy in his mind. Whether she was acting like a baby or smiling, every expression seemed so cute and charming.

After reading the letter from home several times, Huo Tainan put it next to him, and briefly replied to the letter to read the content. At the end, he added another sentence: "Everything is fine, I just miss you."

After finishing writing and putting down his pen, he laughed, as if he could have expected Chu Liangrao's blushing face when he saw this sentence.

Carefully folded the letter and put it in the envelope, Huo Tainan called someone to deliver the letter.

After collecting the letter, the man said with a smile: "Master has only been out for a few days now, and I have written a few letters for this book."

"It's your talkativeness, so hurry up!" Huo Tainan said with a straight face.

"Yes."

Hurry up, when the letter reaches Chu Liangrao's hands, it will be the end of summer.

Chu Liangrao, who had spent a few days in Zhuangzi, was ordering his servants to pack their things and prepare to return home when they heard a letter from Huo Tainan. jump.

After reading the letter, Chu Liangrao blushed as expected. Who said the ancients would not be nasty? Thinking about it, but Chu Liangrao still replied to the letter, telling Huo Tainan that autumn is coming, take good care of yourself, don't be sloppy when it's time to add clothes, and added a sentence at the end: "There is nothing at home, I miss you like you. "

The letter was sent away, and Chu Liangrao's heart also flew away.

It was so easy to withdraw his mind and return to the mansion, he was busy again, and the recruitment of the clothing store had not started for a long time.This made Zhu Xiucai a little anxious, he even thought that Chu Liangrao was going to give up halfway, and sent someone to Huo's mansion to look for Lilac for several days.

After Ding Xiang was busy, she asked about Ding Xiucai, and when she learned of her father's concern, she said, "Father, don't worry, the princess can arrange it freely."

The daughter said so, Zhu Xiucai had no choice but to give up.

In the blink of an eye, it was autumn, and after seeing off the scorching sun, Kyoto became more and more lively. Candidates who came to rush for the exam could be seen everywhere, and most of the restaurants and teahouses were filled with scholars who talked about Zeye.

Chu Liangrao, who changed into men's clothes, was one of them. She chose a seat by the window, and she carefully watched everyone.

Zhou's mother, also dressed as a man, stood behind her like a guard, standing still like a mountain.

Even though the guards behind her looked a little serious, the gentle and elegant Chu Liangrao still made people feel friendly. However, seeing her dressed in brocade clothes, some people who were not well-off had to stop, but they still had a heart. Can't help but be fascinated.

For several days in a row, Chu Liangrao went to a fixed place to drink a pot of tea at a fixed time and then left.

Soon someone inquired about her, and the shopkeeper who got the order said that she was a young shopkeeper.

Hearing this, several scholars gave up their minds, but not everyone felt that the merchant was unapproachable, and some thought that this person had become a shopkeeper at a young age, so he must have some skills.

When these people made up their minds to have a deep friendship with Chu Liangrao, Chu Liangrao no longer showed his face.

After inquiries from interested people, someone soon found out about the unopened shop and kept it in their hearts.

Zhou's mother didn't know the meaning of Chu Liangrao's actions. Out of concern for Chu Liangrao, she said, "Princess, you are showing your face like this now... If the county matriarch knows, will you think about it?"

"It's okay." Chu Liangrao said, "Aren't you curious why I went out?"

After hesitating for a while, Mother Zhou nodded and said, "Curiosity."

"Want to know?" Chu Liangrao asked with a smile.

"Yes." Mother Zhou nodded again.

"This is called putting a long line to catch big fish. As for the effect, you will know after the end of the autumn."

Zhou's mother was ashamed, so she was also whetted by Chu Liangrao?
