Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

After painting Zhao Shen, it was like opening a door of inspiration for Xiang Yuan.He was very interested in the lively atmosphere of the city at this time, and made five or six pictures of life in the city in a row, each of which was full of interest and lively.Facing the painting, it's as if the life in the city has been moved into it, which makes people look forward to lingering.

This kind of speed and quality made Song the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop very happy.Unexpectedly, with the attitude of giving it a try, he was asked to catch a big golden turtle!

"Okay, okay, the calligraphy and paintings of Congzi, whether in terms of layout or artistic conception, are already considered excellent. Not to mention too much, I, Lao Song, can still guarantee one tael of silver for each painting."

In order to avoid having to come over once a month to hand over the calligraphy and paintings in the future, Xiang Yuan handed over the remaining five months of calligraphy and paintings at one time.Calculated in this way, if each painting can have one tael of silver, then the ten calligraphy and paintings will have at least ten taels of silver, which is quite good.

It's just that such an income, after hearing that Zhao Shen was going to open a ready-made clothing store, was compared to scum in minutes.

My daughter-in-law is richer than myself and has a career, what should I do?

Hurry, wait online!

Xiang Yuan didn't care on the surface, but inside he was really anxious.

In his eyes, Zhao Shen shouldn't settle down in the back house and take care of his husband and teach his children. He should have the mind and courage, vision and insight like a man, and be able to stand side by side with him in this increasingly prosperous Jing Ann left a good story.He didn't want to trap Zhao Shen, so he must do his best to provide convenience for Zhao Shen.Looking at Zhao Shen's bright and confident eyes, the pride in his heart was indescribable.

Therefore, the next year's autumn must be in the middle!Not only to win, but also to get a better ranking.

Xiang Yuan clenched his fist secretly.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is coming, and a table of extraordinarily sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner needs to be arranged on New Year's Eve.Mrs. Li is an old man, so naturally she can't work hard for her, and because Ah Ting's mother was seriously ill a year ago, he was allowed to go home to serve the decoction.In the end, no one was able to cook, which made Zhao Shen difficult.

Since he was a child, he didn't want to learn the things that girls do, and Xu Yixuan was used to him, so he didn't have the heart to teach him.Now that he can light the fire, that's good, not to mention the technical work of cooking and stewing rice.

Seeing that Zhao Shen was sweating on his brow in a hurry, Xiang Yuan finally spoke out.

"Let me come, you look at the door, don't let the mother suddenly come over to see."

Because Zhao Shennian always went out and was not at home at all, Li Shi was quite dissatisfied, and filed a complaint with Xiang Yuan, but Xiang Yuan ignored him and was full of anger.So he wanted to take the opportunity to beat Zhao Shen, so it was so easy for Ah Ting to get a vacation.

"You, you, you, can cook? How can you cook?!"

Zhao Shen looked at Xiang Yuan in his previous life with a bewildered expression, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen", now he is very proficient with a spatula in one hand and vegetables in the other.

While pouring the fried vegetables into the prepared plate, Xiang Yuan took the time to throw a provocative look at Zhao Shen.Confidently said: "Does this need to be learned? It's very simple, isn't it?"

Zhao Shen said dumbly, maybe it is possible?But why is it so difficult for him?

After that, Zhao Jinyan leaned against the door, seemingly staring at Xiang Yuan, but in fact his eyes were empty, and he didn't know where his soul had gone.

Xiang Yuan deliberately made Zhao Jinyan aware of the difference in himself, but he didn't want to become completely different immediately and cause surprises, so he had to ask for a little bit.

Mrs. Li was very satisfied with the New Year's Eve dinner, praised Zhao Shen for the first time, and told him to cook more in the future, Xiang Yuan had to make up for his hard work preparing for the exam.

Zhao Shen responded with embarrassment, secretly thinking that Mrs. Li was wrong, Xiang Congzi seems to have to cook by himself if he wants to make up his body.

Years later, Zhao Shen started to work on his ready-to-wear shop.He was lucky, and happened to meet a family who was planning to leave Lizhong to do business in Fuzhou, so he took over his family's shop in a prosperous road and asked for a full 200 taels of silver.If it weren't for the small size of the shop, Zhao Shen might not be able to get it even if he spent all his savings.

All of a sudden, there was not much money left in his hand. For the next step of tidying up the shop and buying goods, Zhao Shen was careful and careful, wishing to split two flowers for a penny.If so, in the end I asked Xu Yixuan to borrow 50 taels before opening the shop.

"It's just a ready-made clothing store. Why do you decorate it so well? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so tight. Now that all the money is invested in it, what will you do in the future if the business is not good?"

Xu Yixuan came to Zhao Shen's tailor shop while Mrs. Zhao was out of the house, and when he came in, he saw that the shop was richly decorated, so he knew where his little brother spent all his money.

"It is necessary to pretend like this so that the class of the shop can rise. Otherwise, a set of ready-made clothes only sells for one or two taels of silver. Why should I bother?"

"Don't try to fool me. One or two taels of silver for a set of clothes is very good. You still want to sell them for ten taels."

Zhao Shen pursed his lips and smiled, Xu Yixuan really guessed right.

The ready-to-wear store he wants to take is a high-end boutique route, the treasure of the store, let alone ten taels, twenty-three ten, or even fifty.

"Father, don't you have the confidence to sell the clothes you drew with your own hands at a good price?"

Xu Yixuan was still a little hesitant, and hesitantly said: "Brother Shen, is it really okay for Dad to do this? Even if the Zhao family is not a wealthy family, they still have face in Lizhong. If the master finds out I sell the clothes that I have painted in the pattern, I am afraid I will lose my temper."

Zhao Shen stared at the guy who put the cloth and shelves one by one according to the position he said, and heard Xu Yixuan's words, sniffed: "Father, I didn't hit you, you just counted the number of hits since you entered the door of Zhao's mansion." , How many times has he come to your small courtyard? I'm afraid I can count it on the palm of my hand."

It wasn't that Zhao Shen wanted to poke Xu Yixuan's heart on purpose, but when he thought of Mr. Zhao's face, he became angry and wished to give back half of the Zhao family's blood on his body.

But seeing Xu Yixuan's suddenly embarrassed face, Zhao Shen still felt distressed.

"Father, don't worry. I won't tell you. Who knows that these clothes are drawn by you? Besides, I also plan for you. Although my wife usually doesn't like to take care of the inner house, but in case she annoys you someday, You have no property, no way to get money, what will you do in the future?"

Xu Yixuan was stubborn, Zhao Shen made his words clearer, so that he could be mentally prepared, so that one day, he wouldn't be too sad.

Moreover, he had other plans in mind, so he couldn't tell Xu Yixuan now.If you tell him now that he will take Xu Yixuan out when he gets a firm foothold in the future, I'm afraid Xu Yixuan will get sick from fright, so at this stage, he can only break the connection between him and the Zhao Mansion little by little.

On the day when Zhao Shen's "Jinji" ready-to-wear shop opened, Xiang Yuan wrote a large congratulatory couplet and hung it on both sides of the shop door. The silver hook and iron painting penetrated the back of the paper. Many guests who came to watch the ceremony were attracted to comment and almost forgot. The business of congratulations.

Standing on the periphery, Xiang Li listened to the guests praising Xiang Yuan's words in his ears, and he felt proud in his heart.

Xiang's father left early, and Xiang Li took up the responsibility of supporting the family early on. Compared with Xiang Yuan, who is five or six years younger than himself and who knows nothing except studying, he is the elder brother in name, but actually fulfills his father's duties.Enduring Li's undisguised eccentricity and Xiang Yuan's various rude and willful demands, he only hoped that Congzi would be able to take the imperial examination and become an official, fulfilling his father's last wish.

However, seeing Congzi growing up, he became more and more indifferent to him day by day, and the contempt in his eyes could not be concealed. Xiang Li was heartbroken and disappointed, and made up his mind to only pay attention to the basic expenses of Congzi in the future. Leave it alone.The clinker Congzi was injured once, but he seemed to wake up suddenly. Not only did he change his previous clean and noble demeanor, but he also sincerely respected him as an elder brother.Even his knowledge is getting better day by day, he writes well and draws well. Calling him an elder brother, he is very lucky to socialize outside.

Xiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, because there was no reputation and the ready-made clothes were expensive, the business of the shop was not good.Zhao Shen thought for a few days, changed into the latest clothes in the store, and happened to meet the wife of the county magistrate who was going out for incense, and was caught by her. Zhao Shen pretended to postpone it based on the mentality of rare goods. He became more earnest every time, and then he pretended to be reluctant to part with his loved ones and half sold and half gave it to the wife of the county magistrate.After this, his "Jinji" has become famous in Lizhong. After the wife of the county magistrate, the wives and ladies of several big families in Lizhong came to visit one after another. All the boutiques displayed in the shop were ordered out, even the bright colors The cloth is also bought better.

The business of the shop improved and the flow of water continued, Zhao Shen's mood also increased day by day.

Today, as soon as he came out of the shop, he saw Xiang Yuan waiting outside. Zhao Shen didn't even notice that there was a slight smile on his expressionless face. Tenderness comes.

"I see that the weather is a bit gloomy, and I'm afraid it's going to rain."

Zhao Shen noticed that Xiang Yuan was indeed holding a blue oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

"The shopkeeper Hao in the store said that it won't rain in this kind of weather."

"Shopkeeper Hao is an old man who always knows the weather. Since he said it won't rain, it probably won't rain. It seems that my umbrella is redundant."

The two chatted about homework and walked home side by side.

Ever since the business of the shop got better, Xiang Yuan didn't allow Zhao Shen to stay in the shop all day, and would always come to pick him up for dinner at noon.Zhao Shen was not used to it from the beginning, but now he is used to it, and if he doesn't see Xiang Yuan coming over one day, he will feel quite disappointed.

In mid-spring, the willow trees in front of each house in Weeping Willow Lane began to twitch. In the distance, there was a piece of yellow, yellow and green, and the tender green willow branches moved with the breeze. From time to time, there would be one or two pieces of white or The pink petals are full of the vigorous and moving breath of spring, which makes people feel brighter when they see it.

In the alley, there was a little girl with a double bun, carrying a basket full of freshly picked flower branches.White apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, pink peach blossoms, and cherry blossoms. Seeing Xiang Yuan and his wife, they said sweetly: "Master Xiucai, buy some flowers. They are all freshly picked. They are beautiful and easy to feed. Put them in a bottle. I can watch it for a few days."

Xiang Yuan laughed, he didn't expect to meet a flower seller here, he immediately picked a rose-red multi-petal peach blossom, after paying the money, he handed it to Zhao Shen with a smile.

"Jin Yan, this peach blossom is for you."
