Chapter 274
After sending a letter to Du's mother, Ding Xiang went back to the house.

After entering the door, I heard Chu Liangrao's voice: "Are you back?"

Ding Xiang was taken aback, looked up and saw Chu Liangrao, who had just helped him to sleep, was sitting upright, with a smile on his face, but just looking at this smile made people feel scalp numb.

"Jun, princess." Ding Xiang, who has always been eloquent, couldn't help but stutter, she asked with a sneer, "Why are you up?"

With a chuckle, Chu Liangrao said, "I woke up when I couldn't sleep, tell me, where are you from?"

With shame on her face, Ding Xiang said in a low voice: "Servant... from the kitchen...." The last word was already so low that she could hardly hear her, her head was buried so deep that she couldn't even see her face.

Chu Liangrao suppressed a smile, and asked solemnly: "What are you doing in the kitchen at this hour, could it be that you are greedy?"

This kind of excuse is not bad, but Ding Xiang couldn't lie in front of Chu Liangrao anyway, so she finally said: "This servant is not greedy, I just went to see Mother Du."

"What's wrong with Mom? Do you want to see her?" Chu Liangrao continued to ask.

"This one……"

Seeing that Ding Xiang was so hard to do, Chu Liangrao stopped teasing her, and said bluntly, "Should I tell mom what happened today?"

Nodding her head, Ding Xiang said: "This servant is not betraying the princess, but just afraid that my mother will worry."

"Okay, we're all in the same room, so why sneak around. Could it be that I'll punish you and mother?" Chu Liangrao said, shaking his head with a smile, "It makes me a different person inside and out. "

After understanding what Chu Liangrao meant, Ding Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The Princess has a generous heart, so she won't blame the servant girl. No matter what the servant does in the future, the servant will tell you the princess."

"Yeah." Chu Liangrao replied softly, "Mom can feel relieved."

"I'm relieved." Ding Xiang replied with a smile, and then asked, "Why can't the princess fall asleep? Is it too cold? Do you want to pretend to be Tang Pozi again?"

"I do feel a little hot, and the bed is stuffy. Pull up the curtains, open the windows a little more, and block them with a screen." Chu Liangrao ordered.

Ding Xiang arranged for someone to clean it up, opened the window to the width of two fingers, blocked it with a glazed screen, and hung up the curtain covering the bed, Chu Liangrao felt better.

There was already burning charcoal in this room, if there is no breath at all, it will be really stuffy, and there is a possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning, so Chu Liangrao gave special instructions.

After doing these things, Chu Liangrao felt a little better, and lay back on the bed to rest.

When he woke up, he felt refreshed. After dinner, Chu Liangrao was about to wash up when he learned that Zhu Xiucai had arrived.

Ever since Chu Liangrao got married, Zhu Xiucai had never been to the Huo Mansion so as not to be seen by others.It stands to reason that Zhu Xiucai also knew the stakes and shouldn't come at this time, but he still came, something important must have happened, and this must have something to do with the store.

Thinking of this, Chu Liangrao said: "Mr. Zhu please wait in the living room, I'll come right away."

After finishing speaking, she combed her loose hair again, and only put on a mutton fat jade hairpin, her long hair like a waterfall was set off black and shiny.Putting on the plain velvet pink jacket and putting on a cloak made of white fox fur, Chu Liangrao was supported by Lilac to leave the house.

At this time, the study outside the house had stopped, but in order to avoid slippery roads, Ding Xiang asked someone to move a spring bench.

Seeing Ding Xiang being so considerate, Chu Liangrao felt warm in her heart. She sat on the spring stool and said, "Let's prepare some warm food in the kitchen. I'm afraid Mr. Zhu hasn't used it yet. Is it for supper?"

Zhu'er, who was traveling with her, obeyed her orders and went to the kitchen to make arrangements, while Ding Xiang and Zhen'er followed Chu Liangrao to the living room.

Getting off the spring stool, Chu Liangrao Liu Zhen'er guarded the door and led Ding Xiang into the house.

Seeing that Zhu Xiucai was standing with his hands behind his back, instead of sitting down and waiting as usual, Chu Liangrao guessed that the matter this time should be more urgent.

Hearing the movement, Zhu Xiucai turned his back and saluted solemnly: "I have seen the princess."

"Excuse me sir, please sit down." Chu Liangrao said dignifiedly.

Zhu Xiucai also sat down politely, and said to Chu Liangrao: "To disturb the Princess at this hour, I really have no idea."

"Sir, don't be in a hurry, talk slowly if you have something to say."

Chu Liangrao's gentle voice relieved Zhu Xiucai's anxiety a little, he looked up at Ding Xiang, and said, "I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk about it."

Chu Liangrao understood and asked Ding Xiang to accompany Zhen'er, and then asked, "Sir, what happened in the store?"

"Is such that……"

Mr. Zhu slowly explained, it turned out that he followed Chu Liangrao's instructions and worked hard to win Zhu Yong's trust, and today it has achieved results.Zhu Yong talked about the fact that Cao Hong invited him to dinner before, and the inexplicable setup to harm him. This is not the end, but the woman came to the door again today, saying that she must go to the store to do something, otherwise she will shake things up Go out, no one will think about it then.

After all, he is an employee of the store. If he has a bad reputation, he may be involved in the business of the store.

After thinking about it, Chu Liangrao asked, "Where is Zhu Yong now?"

"He's still waiting in the store." Zhu Xiucai said, "Zhu Yong is a smart guy. He said, if it doesn't work, he won't do it in the store. It's useless for people to come to the door, anyway. implicated in this store."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao nodded. This is undoubtedly a solution, but she does not intend to adopt it, because she knows that Zhu Yong really wants to continue in this store, so she chooses to help this trouble.

"Princess, now that Mr. Cao is gone, and this woman is still so rampant, is there any backing?" Zhu Xiucai asked.

Chu Liangrao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. As you said, Mr. Cao is no longer here, so why bother?" After thinking for a while, she asked again, "Is her request just to do something in the store?" ?”

"Yes." Zhu Xiucai said, "Zhu Yong was impatient and agreed to marry her, but she refused, saying that she would rather rely on herself than a man..."

With a chuckle, Chu Liangrao said, "Could it be that this is not relying on others?"

Zhu Xiucai nodded sympathetically, and said, "Princess, what should we do now?"

After thinking for a while, Chu Liangrao said, "Take it."

After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Xiucai asked: "I don't quite understand, Princess, what do you mean?"

"I accept this person, but you have to tell her the rules and the length of the probationary period." Chu Liangrao said, "But all the sources of goods cannot go through her hands, and we only arrange some unimportant ones for her. , first look at her craft and motivation."
