Chapter 272
But this beauty, beauty is beauty, but it gives people a feeling of fragility.

This is in stark contrast to the cheerful and optimistic Chu Liangrao in the past. Even Ding Xiang felt distressed when she saw it. She stepped forward, supported Chu Liangrao and said, "Princess, it's cold outside, let's sit inside." .”

Chu Liangrao nodded, went into the room and put her hands on the stove to bake, she said: "On this day, even people are really lazy. Yesterday I was thinking about going into the kitchen, but today I don't care about it." It's gone." After a pause, she continued, "Let's go and have a look."

Ding Xiang said with a smile: "How can the princess do it herself? The princess can just go and have a look. What would the princess want to eat for lunch?"

Chu Liangrao laughed, and said: "On such a day, make a pot and eat mutton. It's the best way to warm up."

"Your servant understands." Ding Xiang replied.

After breakfast, Chu Liangrao went to the kitchen to visit Mama Du.

Seeing Chu Liangrao, Mother Du was very excited, with tears in her eyes, she said: "Princess, it's freezing cold, you need to add some clothes."

Chu Liangrao said: "Mom, you see I have worn enough clothes, now I look like a ball."

"I still need to add one more thing. The kitchen is not as warm as the house."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao asked someone to bring a charcoal fire, and said, "I was negligent."

In the Wang Mansion before, the charcoal fire in the kitchen would not be extinguished even if there was no order, but in Huo Mansion there was no such rule, plus Ma Si's family did not mention it, Chu Liangrao didn't know.Fortunately, Chu Liangrao discovered the problem after the snow fell, otherwise this winter might freeze a few people to death.

Thinking about it, Chu Liangrao decided to set aside some money to buy charcoal for his servants.

But the monthly expenses of the house are set, so Chu Liangrao paid for it out of his own pocket.

Looking at the vegetables in the cellar, Chu Liangrao subconsciously pressed on his jade pendant. If he can still enter the space, why is it difficult to eat fresh fruits and vegetables this season?But after she became pregnant, she couldn't get in. She was also anxious. After thinking about it, it was because of her stomach. Chu Liangrao was not in a hurry. I can't think of another way when the time comes.

After watching in the kitchen for a while, Chu Liangrao couldn't resist Madam Du's persuasion, so she obediently went back to the house.

Flipping through the account book, Chu Liangrao flipped through the abacus and said, "These stores have a good location, and the accounts are good." After finishing speaking, she said, "Mom, why don't you set aside a part of it and give it to the servants?" Let's add charcoal fire, how can we do without burning charcoal this day?"

After talking for a while without getting a response, Chu Liangrao looked up suspiciously, only to see Ding Xiang looking at him with an embarrassed expression, and then remembered that Mama Du was still in the kitchen.

Helplessly twitching the corners of his mouth, Chu Liangrao said, "I'm really used to my mother's nagging. If she doesn't nudge me this day, I still feel uncomfortable."

Ding Xiang asked: "Princess, do you really want to use the proceeds from the store to purchase?"

"Yes." Chu Liangrao closed the account book and said, "It doesn't cost much anyway, so don't talk about it."

"The servant girl understands the princess's intentions, but those stores are the princess's dowry, and this has to be spread..."

"God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, how can outsiders know?" Chu Liangrao said, "You are not a big-mouthed person, I can trust you."

Dazed for a moment, Ding Xiang said: "I don't mean that as a servant, but everyone knows how much the master's salary is. Although this sum of money is not much, it is not a small amount. I am afraid that someone with a heart will see the clue."

"I've thought about this too. Do you remember that the master left a sum of money for the family?" Chu Liangrao asked.

Ding Xiang nodded.

"That's it. Who can say anything about my own money? I'll post it for him when I use it." As he said that, Chu Liangrao blinked mischievously.

Ding Xiang couldn't help laughing, and said: "The princess is still smart."

"It's natural." Chu Liangrao felt a little complacent, rubbed his hands on his stomach, and thought to himself: Baby, you have such excellent genes, you must live up to it.

Putting the abacus and ledger back in place, Chu Liangrao found out the list that Huo Tainan had given her earlier.

Speaking of which, Chu Liangrao hadn't seen how much money was in the list he gave, she thought it should be 200 taels, so it was reasonable to use it to supplement the family.But when he took it apart and took a look, Chu Liangrao was stunned, it turned out to be two 1000 taels of silver bills.

Where did Huo Tainan get so much money? You must know that he was only an eighth-rank official before, and he didn't have the ability to collect money. This huge sum of money is really unsafe... Just as he was worried, Chu Liangrao found out that There was also a note, and when I picked it up, it was Huo Tainan's handwriting.

It turned out that Huo Tainan earned this money from doing business with his master, and later cooperated with the Yun family a few times, so he saved a lot.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had intersected with the Yun family, Chu Liangrao couldn't help laughing.

Putting the note in the letter box, Chu Liangrao took a look at the two bank notes. They were from Guangshun Bank, and they could be cashed anywhere.Pressing on his chest, feeling Huo Tainan's intentions, Chu Liangrao only felt warm in his heart and body.

After resting for a while, Chu Liangrao fell asleep leaning on the chair, and Ding Xiang didn't wake her up until lunch time.

After blinking, Chu Liangrao, who was slowly waking up, said, "I fell asleep after eating, I don't know who I learned from." After finishing speaking, Chu Liangrao's face changed, darling, isn't it Huo Taihuan's ability to eat and sleep? , When did I learn it myself?

Reminiscent of that sturdy figure, Chu Liangrao said to Ding Xiang: "If you see me asleep in the future, wake me up, don't let me fall asleep."

Ding Xiang was puzzled and asked: "Princess, why is this? Didn't the old lady say that during this period, the princess should take a good rest?"

Chu Liangrao said perfunctorily: "It's not good to rest too much, anyway, remember to wake me up."

Ding Xiang replied: "Don't worry, the princess, the servant will wake you up."

"En." Chu Liangrao nodded, stood up, stretched his limbs, and then sat down at the table to eat.

A few plates of hot dishes were placed beside the small pot, and the milky white soup in the pot rose with hot white steam, just smelling it made people appetite.Pick up thinly sliced ​​mutton and rinse it in the soup, then dip it in the bowl of crushed peanuts and sesame oil, and put it in your mouth. The hot taste is indescribably delicious.

After Chu Liangrao ate a few slices of mutton, he focused on eating vegetables.

After eating [-]% full, Chu Liangrao put down his chopsticks and said, "I haven't eaten for some days, but I ate it once in a while. It's really good. The taste is really good today."
