Anyway, the Lu family's shipbuilding industry also needs to develop. Build some large fishing boats to supplement the household income and practice your skills at the same time. Moreover, the most trouble-free thing about cooperating with the Lu family is that it is easy and hassle-free. It is always better to pay with IOUs than cash.
"The atmosphere of the New Year's Day is still very good." Chen Xi sat in the carriage, opened the window and looked at the pedestrians on the road and said with a smile.
"There is also a lot of contribution from the head of the family." Chen Yun smiled and complimented, "Master, if you want to buy a gift for your wife, it would be best to bring her with you."
"Forget it, Jian'er is probably embroidering new clothes for me, and Lan'er must be teaching me step by step now." Chen Xi smiled and said, "By the way, can you make clothes?"
"Yun comes from a poor family and can still do needlework. If my mother hadn't picked me up, I might have become someone else's meal." Chen Yun said quietly, "So I am very grateful to my mother."
There are many maids in Chen Xi's family who were given to Chen Xi by Liu Luo. It is said that now Liu Luo has basically stopped doing the humble job of Manxianglou and concentrates on the elegant line of poetry and songs.
By the way, she is worthy of being a woman who can still run a brothel without a backstage. She knows how to measure her sense of proportion. She has donated a lot of money and food to the government school in these years. She has completely broken away from her previous low-level interests and started to run a theater with peace of mind. Cultivate new people one after another.
But it seems that I haven't heard of the other party getting married, and this era doesn't pay much attention to these things. If you don't want to get married, you probably have your own thoughts, but Chen Xi is too lazy to care about this.
It's just that every year during the New Year, the maids in the Chen family's inner courtyard would go to see Liu Luo in large numbers. Anyway, if it weren't for Liu Luo, they probably wouldn't be able to survive this day.
"Oh. How about giving you some time off during the Chinese New Year to spend some time with her?" Chen Xi thought for a moment and said.
"Master, don't you think it would be more beneficial for my mother to have me by your side than to go to my mother's place?" Chen Yun looked at Chen Xi calmly and said, they are willing to stay in the Chen family, which not only provides them with protection, but also This in itself is a kind of protection for Liu Luo.
"Oh. By the way, where is the Manxiang Building now? I just have free time today, so let's go and take a look." Chen Xi suddenly realized. Looking at Chen Yun, who looked calm, she smiled and said, "I don't have time to go to Manxiang Tower this year. I used to go there often with Guo Jia."
"My mother will probably be very happy!" Chen Yun clearly showed a hint of joy, but she didn't expect that Chen Xi would actually follow her words.
"How can I say that she sent many of the inner courtyards of my home. It's good to go and see them occasionally and listen to music." Chen Xi said with a smile. He was very gentle most of the time.
Chen Yun said no more and instead bowed her head in thought. She had never given anything to Chen Xi during the New Year holidays before. Although she was a personal maid, except for reading at night, Chen Xi had no need for her at other times.
This kind of relationship is a very simple one between master and servant. It is not as imposing as in other families where the owner's personal maid takes care of things in the backyard. Although Chen Yun can enter and leave Chen Xi's study at any time, this doesn't mean anything. Chen Xi's study is not too strict.
If in someone else's house, the personal maid who could enter the master's study at any time would probably be able to compete with the main room in the backyard.
Naturally, it cannot be said that as a concubine, she would give gifts to the head of the family during the New Year. Of course, in fact, it was Chen Yun who was overthinking it. Chen Xi always did not fear anyone who came.
[Well, I don’t know if the owner of the house will accept it if I give it away. Well, I’d better give it a sachet. I don’t know if the owner of the house needs it. ] Chen Yun thought silently, and the two of them were speechless all the way.
"Hey, that seems to be Zichuan's bicycle frame?" Fazheng also came out to buy gifts years ago, but he was more grand than Chen Xi. Not sneaky at all.
"Let's go, follow up, see what Zichuan buys, and I'll buy it for you too." Fazheng was very willing to spend money and effort to please Jiang Ying.
"Why do you have to come out? I haven't finished drawing the water conservancy construction draft. The waterway in the north starting from Zhuojun and connecting to the mouth of the Yellow River has not been finished." Wang Yi was quite dissatisfied with bringing Fa Zheng out. Her work isn't done yet.
"Put aside government affairs for now. You must know how to balance work and rest. You can't let my father say that I don't treat guests well." Fazheng tilted his head and said, why didn't he find that Wang Yi also had the tendency of a workaholic before? "Let's talk about the canal. The Li family of Sichuan and Sichuan are conducting exploration."
"I don't want all my efforts to be covered up by others in the end." Wang Yi turned his head and said proudly, "Humph, I looked up a lot of information for this."
"Suddenly I feel that introducing you to be a female officer was a mistake." Fazheng said with a yawn.
"What did you say!" Wang Yi stood up directly, "Boom!" He hit his head on the roof of the car, and then squatted down directly, holding his head with tears in his eyes. Jiang Ying quickly hugged her cousin and helped her rub it. Hold your head.
"Okay, don't argue with your husband. He's just teasing you, and he's right. It's time for you to rest. You don't even have time to dress up." Jiang Ying seemed to be smoothing the cat's fur. He said as if to comfort Wang Yi.
"Hmph, you two are a couple, just go shopping together. What do you want me to do?" Wang Yi said dissatisfied.
A thin blush appeared on Jiang Ying's face, but she did not refute. She still comforted Wang Yi softly and gently, "If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have dared to come here."
It was said that Jiang Ying didn't mind Wang Yi marrying Fazheng at all, but one of them was because Wang Yi had no interest in him, and the other was because Fazheng had no motivation. Jiang Ying was willing to matchmaking, but both of them had their own affairs, so they could only It can be put on hold like this.
On the other side, Cai Zhenji is also making new clothes with Cai Yan. By the way, both of them are very good at craftsmanship. Although as a talented woman doing this kind of embroidery and making clothes, it seems not elegant enough, but Cai Yan said that she does it herself The clothes are great.
"Sister, you have already made twelve sets." Cai Zhenji felt a little stressed. Although she saw her sister doing needlework again after so many years, it was still so scary.
"There will be a leap month next year." Cai Yan said calmly. These are all for Li You. Cai Yan has no husband and no direct relatives. The only one who can accept Cai Yan's New Year's gifts is Li You, so every year During the Chinese New Year, Li You can receive a year's supply of new clothes.
"But sister, are you sure you don't want to marry anyone?" Cai Zhenji asked in a low voice, lowering her head and not daring to look at Cai Yan.
"If it were a troubled time, I would probably be homeless, but now the world still has rules. If you want to marry me, a single well-matched person will stand in the way of too many people." Cai Yan said with an indifferent expression, her family views, and her talents and learning are all. It's destined to be difficult.
"Mi'er plans to marry Chen Zichuan." Cai Zhenji silently hinted that the other party was a legitimate daughter like her. (To be continued.)
