Chapter 420 Preparing for a Courtesy Visit
Chu Liangrao was puzzled, looked at Huo Tainan and asked, "What's so strange?"

"It's rare for a lady to be interested in others. If it weren't for Mrs. Xiong being a woman, I'm afraid she should be a husband." Huo Tainan joked.

Chu Liangrao couldn't help laughing, and said, "You can still eat."

"That's right." Huo Tainan looked serious, "Madam Xiong does have something special, but your husband is not an unknown person, you should pay more attention to your husband, is that right?"

"You are so beautiful, don't I pay enough attention to you?" Chu Liangrao picked up a chopstick of sweet and sour pork ribs, stuffed them into Huo Tainan's mouth, and said, "I'm telling you something serious, if you insist on talking about something, hurry up Go to work after eating, so as not to be annoying."

Huo Tainan gnawed on the ribs with a smile, and said, "Young lady is right."

After dinner, it was past noon, and the sun outside was very warm.

Huo Tainan changed his cotton clothes, straightened his hair again, and then said: "Princess Yin Hua's wedding is approaching, if you want to associate with Mrs. Xiong, you can do it for free. If I'm not here, it would be nice to have someone to take care of you. "

"Aren't you delicious?" Chu Liangrao smiled and squeezed Huo Tainan's waist, "Could it be pretending to be generous?"

Huo Tainan rubbed the tip of his nose against Chu Liangrao's, and said, "I'm serious about being a husband."

Realizing that he was not joking, Chu Liangrao blinked and asked, "Really?"

"You don't have to care about Concubine Xiong. Whether this chess piece is kept or discarded depends on how the chess player arranges it." Huo Tainan said, "Madam Xiong is smart, associating with her will not harm us."

After hearing this sentence, Chu Liangrao felt relieved.

After sending Huo Tainan out, she went back to the back room to rest.

This break lasted for an hour, and the people who came to visit during the period were not of high status, so they were all blocked by Du's mother.

After resting, Chu Liangrao was refreshed and sat by the window to continue embroidering flowers. After embroidering for a while, she couldn't help but pause.

Speaking of which, Zhu Xiucai hasn't talked about the situation in the store these days, she has to know whether the business is good or not.

Thinking about it, Chu Liangrao called Zhou's mother and asked her to ask Zhu Xiucai why.

Mother Zhou left for half an hour, and when she came back, Huo Tainan happened to be back too, seeing that Chu Liangrao couldn't find time, she didn't say anything.

After dinner, Chu Liangrao sent Huo Tainan away to take a bath, while she asked about Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother said: "Everything is fine in the store, but Mr. Zhu caught a cold, so he couldn't come to tell me."

After asking a few words about Zhu Xiucai's situation, and after making sure that nothing happened, Chu Liangrao asked, "Since Mr. Zhu is ill, who is watching in the store?"

"Returning to the princess, it was Zhu Yong who was watching. Mr. Zhu said that he was diligent and quick-witted, so he asked him to try. He also said that Zhu Yong was a good businessman. Much better."

Chu Liangrao shook his head, and said: "This new year has started, there are a lot of orders from each mansion, but Mr. Zhu is so impressed, it can be seen that there is something special about him."

"Princess, my mother went to see it too. This Zhu Yong is indeed good at business." Zhou's mother said, "The two-parted mouth is so eloquent that even my mother can listen to it."

With a slight nod, Chu Liangrao said, "I see, you can go down."

"Yes." Mother Du bowed and stepped back.

And Huo Tainan also finished washing, he looked at Chu Liangrao and asked, "What's the trouble in the shop?"

"It's not a problem, it's just that Mr. Zhu is ill, now I'm asking Zhu Yong to look after the store." Chu Liangrao said while untying her hair, and said, "I really answered that sentence, people should not be judged by appearances, At the beginning, I didn't see that he had the ability to do business."

"Being in a family of merchants will have some influence." Huo Tainan said, "Zhu Yong is not a bad person in nature, but he has been idle all day long, but he has developed a bit of a playboy temper. Now that he has something to do, he is only thinking about business. Do a good job and make it big. Besides, the people your husband recommends to you will be wrong."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao smiled and said, "The concubine is thankful to the Lord."

With this smile, Jianshui's pupils seem to be filled with autumn water, and his eyebrows are curved, which is really pretty.

Huo Tainan couldn't help but be fascinated, approaching Chu Liangrao, his voice became a little hoarse: "Ah Rao..."

The emotional voice made Chu Liangrao's cheeks feel hot, she lowered her eyes to comb her long hair, and only responded softly.

With just one sound, it makes people's hearts flutter.

"Ah Rao." Huo Tainan yelled again, leaned behind Chu Liangrao, took the comb with his hand, and combed her hair.

Behaving so well, it's hard to think he doesn't have ulterior motives.

Chu Liangrao is used to it, anyway, Huo Tainan will escort Yin Hua away in a few days, so it's okay to let him go for a few days.

The temperature in the room rose little by little, and the hanging bed curtain covered the spring light, leaving only a few moans that sounded like sighs.

Because she wanted to satisfy Huo Tainan, Chu Liangrao slept a little late that night, but fortunately, no one came to the door the next day, so she slept a little longer.When I got up, I heard Madam Du say: "Princess, Princess Yin Hua has sent you a post, inviting you to meet at the Princess Mansion tomorrow."

Even if Yin Hua didn't hand over the post, Chu Liangrao wanted to see her again. After all, Yin Hua was about to marry far away, so now it was too late to see her.After accepting the post, Chu Liangrao said: "Push the post that Minger wants to visit tomorrow if you can, and if you can't, let's come back another day."

"Yes." Mother Du bent down and said, "Princess, what gift should I prepare for the princess?"

Chu Liangrao couldn't help but think of the purple jade bracelet Yin Hua gave him, and immediately felt that this matter was really unambiguous.

After getting up, she simply went to the warehouse to check.

There are two copies of this gift, one for makeup and the other for farewell.

It takes a lot of thought to show your intentions and pay attention to your scruples.

After looking at the deposit receipt in the warehouse for a long time, Chu Liangrao still had no idea.

It stands to reason that she should have been prepared for this matter, but the incidents of this wife and that lady have confused her in the past few days, so she neglected this matter.After thinking about it, Chu Liangrao felt that the makeup should be done according to the usual list, concentric locks, wishful pillows, quilts for hundreds of sons and grandchildren, and dragon and phoenix bracelets. Chu Liangrao always prepared a lot. Choose a farewell gift.

After thinking about it, Chu Liangrao simply did not choose among these valuables, but called Ding Xiang, and shouted: "Prepare the pen and ink."

Spread out the white paper and press it with a paperweight, dip the pen into the ground ink, and Ding Xiang stood aside.

Picking up the pen and concentrating on it, without hesitation, Chu Liangrao moved his wrist, and the tip of the pen touched the white paper, leaving ink marks.

During this period, she never paused, and her writing was smooth and flowing, with a majestic momentum that jumped out of the paper.
