Only Lu Xi, who had been standing on the window slats with a drooping head, suddenly raised his head, and his small mung bean eyes, which were like red blessings, burst out with excitement.
But Lu Xi was not Hong Fu after all. It quickly realized that its owner was threatening Hong Fu. Unless Hong Fu refused to change his ways despite repeated admonitions, Hong Fu would go to Ningdu City to deliver a message to his future mistress.
It returned to its wilt-headed and drooping state. Even when Hong Fu "quacked" at it twice before leaving, it only responded with two weak "quacks".
Watching Hong Fu fly high into the sky, Lu Xi's small head was a little confused. Why did he relent this time and didn't fight with Hong Fu? Hong Fu would definitely not be able to beat him. Then he would still be the one to see the hostess. It’s me who can eat a lot of delicious food every day, instead of sitting here like this, which is boring and empty.
"Don't worry, you'll be alive soon."
Yang Qingmo knocked on Lu Xi's forehead.
After Geng Shuhuai ran to the kitchen for another meal, went back to his room to tidy up, and finally changed from a bear to a human, when he went to find Yang Qingmo, he found that his door was locked.
"Wu Biao, where is he?"
Geng Shuhuai asked the person who came out of the next room. There were four people living in this small courtyard, and Wu Biao was one of them. This was something he had tried hard to move in from other courtyards.
Except for those who are married or whose homes are in Pingcheng and not far from the Escort Bureau, the rest of the people in the Wucheng Escort Agency all live in the Escort Agency.
"You're gone. I'm the only one left in this courtyard now?"
"What escort? Are you in such a hurry?"
Wu Biao glanced at Geng Shuhuai, what's the hurry? I heard from Xie Ding that he had been preparing for this trip for more than ten days. If Yang Qingmo hadn't wanted to wait for Geng Shuhuai to come back and send his news to Ningdu, it would have taken three days. They should have set off before.
As for the reason why Yun Liu didn't tell Yang Qingmo, you can figure it out after thinking about it.
"Where are they going this time?"
"I don't know." Wu Biao shook his head.
"Is he a government escort?"
Wu Biao nodded.
Geng Shuhuai didn't ask any more questions and walked out of the yard slowly. He patted his head halfway and said, "No, even if you are a yamen escort, if others don't know the inside story, how could Wu Biao not know?"
Wu Biao is the future owner of the Wucheng Escort Bureau. The current owner is his father Wu Hu. Government escorts also depend on the situation. Some can be made public, while others must be kept secret.
But no matter what, Wu Biao definitely knew.
Geng Shuhuai just wanted to turn around and prepare to ask Wu Biao, but suddenly stopped again. So what if Wu Biao knew, he couldn't tell himself, and he shouldn't ask.
But... Yang Qingmo's calculation was really good. Hongfu had just left, taking with him and his future sister-in-law two burdens. His mother and sister had received the news that he had returned safely, but they didn't know the news that his future sister-in-law was leaving again. I thought the two of them were staying peacefully in the Pingcheng Escort Bureau, and maybe they thought the guy was staying in the study to prepare for the provincial examination this autumn.
At Anping's residence, it has been seven or eight days since Shen Shui recognized his relatives. Geng Xingshuang went to Chaoxing Street again today. , the interior decoration has been completed, and now it is just waiting to put the clothes, shoes, socks, purses, sachets, etc. one by one.
After Geng Xingshuang went in, she looked up and down and found that everything was basically according to her own wishes. There were no obvious discrepancies, so she was quite satisfied.
Then she opened the account book, which was originally recorded by Jiang Ping. Later, half the volume came and all were handed over to her.
So the first part was a little messy, but it became more tidy at the end. Tables of various types of expenditures were neatly made, and finally a summary was formed. So far, a total of one hundred and two taels of silver have been spent on the decoration of Mingshang Pavilion.
Not a lot but definitely a lot.
"Fortunately, the girl made a ten-year contract with the owner of this house and spent a lot of money on repairs. If the owner sees that our business is good and wants to go back on it, it will be a big loss."
She was very distressed when she was keeping half a volume of accounts, and even more distressed when she was summarizing the money. She had earned the money little by little in the past two years. Others didn't know it, but she knew that it was not easy for a girl to make money when she first started.
Although the future uncle would send money from time to time over the years, after all, before they got married, the girl kept the money and said she would pay it back to him when the sixth master came back.
"If he really wants to give it, it can be included in the betrothal gift. It would be too shameful for me to spend his money now." This was the first time the girl received money, and she had to accept it after she failed to return it.
Fortunately, the second young master has sent things back from time to time in recent years, and he also stuffed some money with the gifts. In fact, sometimes I want to tell the second young master that the girl does not lack those strange things, but the most lacking thing is money. It's better to just convert it into money and send it back. It won't be too late to buy those things when the girl opens her shop and her life becomes more comfortable. But the girl herself doesn't think so. No matter what weird gift she receives, she will be very happy. Stored properly.
There are still a few strange-shaped objects on the ancient bookshelf in the girl's room that look like stones but are not stones. They were brought by Hongfu from Pingcheng to the second young master.
"How many ready-made clothes are there now? How many embroidered shoes are there? How many of each style and size are in reserve? Can purses, sachets, and handkerchiefs fill these display cabinets?"
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the girl asking.
Banjuan calmed down and took out a ledger from the counter, "Girl, now we have a total of four tailors and twelve embroiderers. Among them, Miss Zhu has transferred three embroiderers from the Zhenguo Palace. We have hired two new tailors and two embroiderers, and the two newly recruited embroiderers are going to embroider shoes with Miss Six."
Although Geng Xingshuang did not ask about personnel matters, Banjuan felt that this matter needed to be reported carefully. Seeing Geng Xingshuang nodding, Banjuanfang continued: "Through the rush of work of the garment craftsmen and embroiderers during this period, coupled with the recent period There are currently 60 pieces of ready-made clothes in the backyard warehouse, including 48 spring clothes, 12 summer clothes, 20 pairs of embroidered shoes, 126 purses, 180 sachets, and 80 bags. Two, sixty-three handkerchiefs.
There are four styles of ready-made spring clothes, namely haze and begonia skirt, Ruyi dark butterfly skirt, fairy skirt with flying flowers trailing to the ground, and aqua thin spring mist skirt. Match the clothes according to the size of the skirt, including small, medium, large and extra large There are four sizes, of which the medium and large sizes are the most common, with ten pieces each, and the small and extra large sizes are four pieces each. Xia Shang only makes two types, which are the Baihua Butterfly and Bee Skirt and the Qingfeng Landscape Skirt. They also make small, medium and large sizes. , four styles of extra large. Three pieces of each size were made for the medium and large sizes. Two pieces of each size were made for the small size. Only the flower butterfly and bee skirt was made for the extra large size, and two pieces were made. The Qingfeng Shanshui skirt was not made.
There are a total of eight sizes of embroidered shoes, which can be worn from ten years old to double ten. There are more than ten kinds of upper patterns. Girls, do you want to see them? "
Geng Xingshuang nodded and went to the warehouse.
