Mu Siyu rested for the night and went to 'Dream Home' early the next morning to check on the store's operations.
Lu Yi originally took a few days off and planned to stay at home with her. Seeing her like this, he had no choice but to change into official uniform and take Lu Zhiqian to continue working on the case in hand.
"Master, Nuan Baobao is selling very well, should we add another batch?" Kite stood opposite the desk and asked Mu Siyu for instructions.
Mu Siyu shook her head gently: "No. The weather is getting warmer and the weather will not be too cold next time. There is no need to do it anymore."
"OK."
"When I came in just now, I saw a lot of strangers. Have you hired new people during this time?" Mu Siyu asked.
Kite looked outside the door and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Yi just sent us, and they are all good people. I don't know what the situation is, but since they were sent by Brother Yi, they must be reliable."
"So that's it." Mu Siyu thought of what happened recently. Lu Yi should have done this to make her safer. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
When she said she wanted to come to the store in the morning, he hadn't gotten up yet. He was lazily leaning on the bed. His eyes, which usually scare the shit out of criminals, were full of sadness, like an abandoned husband who had been abandoned by a woman.
She hugged him and kissed him several times, which made him feel less resentful and reluctantly got up and went to do his errands.
Seeing that Mu Siyu was in a daze, Kite waved his hand in front of her and called out "Master" several times.
"Um?"
"Master, you and Brother Yi have been married for more than ten years, why are you still so tired?" Kite looked like he couldn't bear it, "Fortunately, I'm going to get married soon."
Mu Siyu spread her hands and looked helpless: "There is no way, you brother Yi can't live without me. What did you want to say just now?"
"It's like this. Recently, we couldn't receive payment for a product. Our guys came to the door several times, and they couldn't even see the person in charge. This is a respectable family, so we don't dare to offend."
"Where's the bill?"
Kite took down a brochure from the shelf next to him, opened it, pointed to one of the pages and said, "This is it."
"Jiang Mansion." Mu Siyu tore off the page and said, "I'll handle it."
Half an hour later, Mu Siyu learned from Chanyi that "Jiang's Mansion" was the residence of Jiang Fengyang, the young minister of Dali Temple.
"Young Minister of Dali Temple?" Zisu said, "Isn't that our master's colleague? How can such a family still default on their debts?"
The figure of a woman appeared in Tomb Siyu's mind.
"Chanyi, please send someone to find out who Jiang Shaoqing's wife is."
"My slave has already investigated the Jiang Mansion." Chanyi sent a detailed investigation report.
Mu Siyu looked at the contents of the report and said to Chanyi: "Not bad, Chanyi, you are worthy of being brought out by Brother Xia."
As she expected, Jiang Shaoqing's wife was the eccentric Mrs. Rong whom she met last time.
"Zisu, Ziyuan, post it for me. I want to invite all the officials and wives of Dali Temple to go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs."
Not long after the post was posted, several families responded. Mu Siyu paid special attention to Mrs. Rong from the Jiang Mansion. She didn't say she wanted to come, nor did she say she couldn't come. This arrogance emanating from her bones, if she hadn't known that she was just a
The concubine of a fourth-rank official family thought that she was of nobler origin than Mrs. Tan, the legitimate daughter of a second-rank official.
The trip is scheduled for five days later, giving them enough time to prepare.
On this day, Lu Zhiyun also took leave and went to Zhuangzi with Mu Siyu to soak in the hot springs and enjoy the snow scenery.
An Yu is pregnant and should not go out for a walk, so she was not invited to this trip.
Speaking of An Yu, Mu Siyu went to see her after finishing her work in the store. She was in good spirits, much mellower, and her whole person exuded the light of motherhood.
Five days later, the Lu family's carriage stopped at the city gate. Mu Siyu and Lu Zhiyun sat in the carriage waiting for the ladies to arrive.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" The Jia family's carriage arrived first.
After the carriage arrived, Mrs. Jia brought Jia Linglong to say hello.
The robes they wore were very simple and not ostentatious at all. When it comes to the 'equipment' of the mother and daughter, the most precious thing should be the gold hairpins on their heads. The older one and the younger one both wore gold.
Hairpins, even the styles are similar.
Mu Siyu had a good impression of Mrs. Jia, so she sent someone to inquire about her last time back, and found out that Mrs. Jia was the child bride of Mr. Jia. Later, Mr. Jia obtained fame and came to the capital with his wife and daughter. Mrs. Jia's life
After giving birth to Jia Linglong, she did not get pregnant again. It is said that she was not in good health.
After learning about this incident, Mu Siyu praised Master Jia so much that it made Lu Yi jealous.
"We have just arrived. Look, you are the first to arrive." Mu Siyu said with a smile, "Hurry up and get in the carriage to warm yourself up. Don't let the wind blow down there."
Jia Linglong met Lu Zhiyun last time and knew that this fairy-like sister was different from other ladies. She would not say sarcastic words to ridicule herself, nor would she look down on her fat figure and unsophisticated manner.
'.
"My mother made fruit slices, do you want to try them?" Lu Zhiyun handed a piece to Jia Linglong.
The two of them played together again.
Mrs. Jia looked at the two children and said to Mu Siyu: "Linglong has lived in the capital for five years and has never had a good friend. Now that she meets your girl, she finally looks a little smiling."
"If she likes our little Yun'er, just come and play with her. Xiao Yun'er is learning embroidery and doesn't have time usually, but she can take a break every once in a while."
"The flowers on your handkerchief are so beautiful." Jia Linglong looked at Lu Zhiyun's handkerchief and said, "Did your mother embroider it?"
"My mother is very handy, but she is good at carpentry, but she can only get stuck in embroidery. I embroidered this myself." Lu Zhiyun said with a smile, "If you like it, I have an unused one here for you."
Several other families arrived one after another, and when Mrs. Tan arrived, the Jiang family's carriage also arrived.
This time we were going to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs. Several ladies brought their children, including boys and girls. Mrs. Rong brought a little girl.
"Mrs. Lu is a well-known businesswoman. Your hot spring must be different from other hot springs. It will open our eyes and gain insights." Mrs. Rong pinched the handkerchief and said in a pretentious manner.
"I'm afraid I will disappoint Mrs. Rong." Mu Siyu smiled, "A hot spring is just a hot spring. If it is different from others, it shouldn't be a hot spring. However, I had a great time chatting with all the ladies last time. I have been thinking about it and thinking about it again.
Find an opportunity to get together. This is just an excuse for me to meet all the ladies."
"This little mouth is so sweet, she deserves to be the famous number one businesswoman." Mrs. Tan chuckled, "Let's go, I just want to relax recently."
