I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 171 Hit it off

"Miss Shen, at that time, the eldest young mistress distributed a lot of things to our young master. I was very happy, but then I didn't pay attention and said something wrong.

After that, I couldn't find the Fourth Young Master, and when I came back, the Eldest Young Madam assigned him a lot of work in the mansion, so I couldn't stay outside the camp anymore.

Brother Chen is not in the capital, can you help me send a message to the fourth young master? "Xuan Shen looked bitter, not knowing what to do.

Shen Xiaoye pondered for a moment and said, "Well, go back home now and pack your and Lu Guan's clothes, and take his valuables with you. Then tell them that we are here to take you to the Fifth Army Camp to take care of Lu Guan for a few days."

As she spoke, she waved to Bian Xian, and when the latter came over, she told him and Xuan Can to pack up some of Lu Guan's things and take them out.

"Miss Shen, this is inappropriate. I can give the young master some clothes, but it is better not to bring any valuables.

So as not to be unable to go out." Xuan Shen said this because he knew that his young master rarely touched the valuables in the room, and that money and the like were deposited in the bank and could only be exchanged with his own banknotes.

Bian Xian also said: “Miss Shen, the children of a large family only use precious items as decorations and never carry them with them when they go out.

Especially since Fourth Master Lu is in the camp, he has no time to play with it."

“I made a mistake, I meant his silver.

And he didn't really go to the camp, he just found an excuse to let Xuan Shen leave." Shen Xiaoye lowered his voice, his expression was not accurate.

She gestured for the two to walk away so that the doorman who was looking over his shoulder wouldn't hear them. "I'll have to trouble Brother Bian to show your ID and ask Madam Lu's people to let Xuan Shen go."

"No problem." As a scout, Bian Xian had some idea about the status of some of the noble sons in his camp in their respective mansions.

Xuan Shen heaved a sigh of relief, "The young master's money is in a safe place, and he carries the small change with him.

As for clothes, the general is not at home, and except for the two sets that the young master bought himself, the others are a bit short."

"Bring some thick robes as an example." Shen Xiaoye's eyes flashed. Did this Xuan Shen deliberately let outsiders know that Lu Guan was treated harshly?

Bian Xian looked left and right, pretending not to listen.

Shen Xiaoye had no choice but to find the conversation to say a few words to the two of them before they entered the mansion.

Of course, what she didn't see was that Bian Xian was invited to wait in the back living room and could not go any further. After all, the male owner of the Lu Mansion was not at home, and the eldest young lady would not see him after hearing the report.

But because he was a military officer, she not only did not stop Xuan Shen from leaving the house, but also asked the housekeeper beside her to send him some snacks and asked if Lu Guan was injured.

Bian Xian found a place to use his skills, and he used ambiguous words in his words and deeds with the purpose of misleading people.

When he and Xuan Shen came out with a lot of things, the most eye-catching thing was a large food box with several layers. After the mule cart started, Shen Xiaoye was still very curious, "Food box?"

"What the eldest young lady prepared are all things that the fourth young master doesn't like to eat." Xuan Shen was very unhappy. He didn't know whether making such a big food box was to show her concern or to make others think that the fourth young master was greedy.

Shen Xiaoye smiled and said, "If he doesn't eat, we will. Besides, he is training now and has no time to eat."

"Isn't this bad?" Bian Xian had just looked at the snacks inside, and they were all very exquisite.

Xuan Shen said: "If our young master is here, he will treat everyone to a meal."

"I'm in for a treat today." Shen Xiaoye naturally didn't eat Lu Guan's food for nothing. After buying some cotton on the way, as soon as she returned to Che Nian Hutong, she took a few pieces of cloth and asked Yuan to help her make clothes.

Yuan had just met Lu Guan and Shen Changsui not long ago and was familiar with their stature.

She asked, "Girl, shall we leave tomorrow and take her back to Linghe County to do it?"

"No need, just cut the size for me, and I'll ask Mrs. Zhu next door for help with the rest. I heard her female workers are very good, so we can help her business.

By the way, the inner shirts should be cut close to the body because they will go to the battlefield, so they should try to use narrow sleeves.

Especially for summer shirts, they cannot be made with wide sleeves." Shen Xiaoye instructed as she picked out a few snacks from the big food box and prepared to send them to Mrs. Zhu's house.

Yuan's two daughters, who were given several pieces of snacks, vied with each other to help her carry the plates and bamboo baskets. They felt that it was great to live in the inner city, where the alleys were quiet and the food was delicious.

There is also a cute cat playing with them.

However, Yuan said, "Mrs. Zhu seems to be busy opening a shop recently."

"Embroidery shop or ready-made clothing shop?" After hearing her reminder, Shen Xiaoye gave up the idea of ​​​​troubling others and decided to find a tailor to do it.

Yuan: "Neither. She rented Madam Zhu's shop in East City and said she wanted to open a dried fruit shop, selling snacks, melon seeds, and mountain products."

"Not bad." Shen Xiaoye sighed. When will he be able to open a cloth shop?

"Sister Xiaoye." Yi Jia ran in to report, "There are guests outside."

Her sister Yi Wen added: "Grandpa Bai said that the scholar's wife next door has been invited to the back seat to serve tea."

"Hey, what a coincidence." Speak of the devil, Shen Xiaoye hurried out of the house to welcome the guests.

As soon as Mrs. Zhu saw her, she said, "Sorry to bother you, I'm here to ask for your help."

"Sit down, please talk. I will do what I can." Shen Xiaoye had a good impression of her. It would be even better if the old woman in her kitchen was not too gossipy.

Mrs. Zhu thought about it and said, "It's like this. Mrs. Zhu and I are going to open a dried fruit shop together and sell some snacks, but nominally I'm renting her shop.

Now, we are facing a problem, which is that there are not enough people in the store.

Madam Zhu and the people around her are not convenient to come forward, and I can only watch for half a day here, so it’s not easy to find a suitable person.”

She held the teacup with both hands and said, "I'm attracted to your cook. She's not only skilled, but also a quiet person.

I don't know if Mr. Lu can give it up. "

"Lu Guan won't object to this matter, so how about asking Aunt Yi to talk to you?" Although Yuan might be able to find a husband, Shen Xiaoye could not help her make a decision.

Mrs. Zhu didn't expect it to be so smooth, so she thanked him profusely and said, "I'll give you discounts when you buy things in my store in the future."

"Thank you in advance." When Shen Xiaoye stood up, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mrs. Zhu, in summer and autumn, does your store accept dried sand apples, dried peaches, pine nuts, chestnuts, etc."

"Yes, I do. If you have any, feel free to send them to me." Mrs. Zhu opened a business and of course she not only sold things from her own orchard, it would be better if she could bring in more kinds of dried fruits.

Shen Xiaoye said: "Okay, I'll go back and think about it." She thought of the young men in the village who had just lost their father last year and Uncle Jiang from Fushan. If they had a fixed place to collect mountain products, they would have another source of livelihood.

The two hit it off immediately, but what Shen Xiaoye didn't expect was that the cook actually accepted the job.

Yuan's reason was: "Women, it is better to be strong if you can earn money yourself, otherwise you will be bullied to death."
