Chapter 717 Winter Clothes

Chu Huan glanced over there, laughed silently, and pulled a tent there, but Chu Huan knew what was behind it. He came back from Xiliang, but returned with a lot of money. In addition to the gifts given by the nobles and officials of Xiliang during the wedding, there were also the property he received at Puzhao Temple. He went straight back from Tongzhou to Yunshan, but the things were brought back to the capital by Lang Wazi and others. After that, these things were placed here.

After Bai Xiaozi pointed this, Chu Huan suddenly remembered that there were countless treasures in this room. No wonder Bai Xiaozi didn't dare to sleep with his eyes closed. He put all such a bunch of treasures in this room. Bai Xiaozi slept next to him, and he had to sleep with his eyes open no matter what.

Chu Huan laughed silently and said, "Are you still afraid that someone will steal it?"

Bai Xiazi smiled bitterly and said, "If you put these things here, you will lose one, which is my negligence."

"Hahaha..." Chu Huan laughed and said, "Brother Bai, if it were me, I might have been custodians..."

Bai Xiaozi's expression suddenly became solemn and said, "Sir, you have followed you. You regard me Bai Xiaozi as a brother and trust me. Although Bai Xiaozi is from a market, I also know the word "Yizi". Bai Xiaozi likes money, but we want money and take it well. If you trust Bai Xiaozi, even if you lose your life, I can't let you down."

Chu Huan heard his sincere words and knew that although this guy was a gangster, he was indeed a loyal person. He reached out and patted Bai Xiaozi on the arm and said, "Brother Bai, I'm wronged, don't blame me!"

Bai Xiazi smiled heartily, then frowned and whispered: "Sir, these things have been kept here, and it is not a solution after all. Should I find a more proper place to store them?"

Chu Huan leaned on the chair and pondered for a while. After a long time, he finally said, "You should recuperate well, I'll think about this."

Chu Huan left Bai Xiaozi and went straight to the study room. Before she could sit down, she heard Su Niang's voice coming from outside the door, "Erlang, are you here?"

Seeing Su Niang come back, Chu Huan felt at ease. After agreeing, she saw Su Niang come in gracefully. When she saw her, Chu Huan felt a little strange. She always felt something was wrong, but she saw Su Niang coming over with a smile and said, "Are you hungry? I have sent someone to prepare the meal, and it will be fine soon..."

Chu Huan nodded, and he couldn't stare at Su Niang and looked at him. The previous look seemed a little strange, and he didn't see clearly. He felt that Su Niang was standing beside him. He couldn't help but turn his head and look. Under the lights, he found that Su Niang had a pretty face and didn't notice it much on weekdays. At this moment, he found that Su Niang looked very beautiful and didn't dare to look at it anymore. He turned his eyes to the book again and asked, "I came back late today, and went to many places?"

Su Niang sat down happily on the chair beside her and said, "Yes, Mrs. Xue is really familiar with the capital. She took me many places, went to Taoist temples, and went to several restaurants to eat. I was so overwhelmed..."

Chu Huan was happy to hear her voice, and she must have been very happy to go shopping today. She smiled and said, "Since you like it, you can go out for a walk in the future. It is not good to stay in the mansion all day long." Finally, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Su Niang again. Under the light, Su Niang was like a flower. After looking at this look, she finally knew what was strange, but Su Niang made a bun.

Before, Su Niang's hair bun was very ordinary, but now she is obviously a new bun. Although she doesn't know the name of the bun, she is quite gorgeous. Against the backdrop of this bun, Su Niang seems to be a lot more noble, and her face shape is even more beautiful. She can't help but say, "This... is your new bun?"

Su Niang was still worried that Chu Huan would not notice it. When she saw Chu Huan asking, she immediately smiled and asked, "Yes, Erlang, do you think it looks good?" She was obviously very satisfied with her hairstyle, so she raised her hand and tidied it up gently, with a smile on her face and a beautiful face.

Chu Huan knew that in front of women, don’t say “no” easily. Even if Su Niang’s hair bun is not good-looking, Chu Huan couldn’t say “no”. What’s more, from the heart, although Su Niang’s hairstyle looks not very adaptable for a while, it is indeed very suitable for Su Niang, which makes Su Niang’s beauty instantly double.

"It looks good." Chu Huan could only answer honestly, but couldn't help thinking that if Su Niang kept combing her hair like this in the future, it would be a beautiful view in the mansion.

When Su Niang heard Chu Huan say this, she smiled and felt very happy. When she went out today, she really took her time to make such a bun. When Chu Huan praised her, although it was just the word "good-looking", it made Su Niang feel happy.

The two of them didn't speak for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Seeing that Chu Huan was still looking at her, Su Niang looked down and lowered her head. When Chu Huan saw Su Niang lower her head, she was also a little awkward. At this moment, she heard Sun Zikong's voice coming from outside: "Master, Madam, Mr. Du said that you have something to discuss with you!"

Chu Huan said "Oh", not knowing what Du Fugong wanted to do, but he thought in his heart that Du Fugong was really arrogant. He had something to do with him, but he still had someone to pass the message.

He knew that guy was weird. Since he asked him to handle the accounts, the old guy hugged alone in the yard. He could not see anyone all day long, nor did he communicate with others. Even if he had a meal, he would send him to his yard.

Chu Huan heard that people with strange temperaments have some skills, but I wonder if Mr. Du is really capable?

The two of them came to Du Fugong's yard, which was very quiet. There was a lonely lamp in the house. When they heard footsteps, Du Fugong came out of the house and bowed to Chu Huan and the others without hesitation.

After Chu Huan sat down, he smiled and said, "Sir, look for me?"

Du Fugong nodded and said, "It's mainly to discuss something with the wife. I heard that the adults are also in the mansion, so I asked the adults to come with me."

Chu Huan smiled and signaled Du Fugong to sit down and talk. Du Fugong was really rude. He sat down opposite Chu Huan, turned to Su Niang, and said, "Madam, Du has made some calculations. It's almost winter. I wonder if Mrs. is preparing winter clothes for the servants in the mansion?"

Su Niang was stunned and a little at a loss. She looked at Chu Huan. Chu Huan just smiled and nodded, and whispered at Du Fu Gong, signaling Su Niang to communicate with Du Fu Gong.

Su Niang sat down and asked carefully: "Mr. Du...Mr. Du, what are you talking about in winter clothes?"

"The winter in the capital will be very cold." Du Fugong said solemnly: "It's late autumn, and the clothes on the servants can still be made up, but as soon as winter comes, the clothes are hard to hold on, so Du wanted to ask Mrs., is the wife ready to prepare warm winter clothes for the servants in the mansion?"

Su Niang thought about it and finally said, "If you need it, you must prepare it."

Du Fu Gong comforted his heart and said, "Of course it is necessary. Madam, I calculated it. In the mansion, except for the adults and the wife, there are twenty-two people, including Du. If one person buys two sets of winter clothes, it will be forty-four sets of clothes. According to the price of the capital, it will be comfortable and warm. A set of clothes is about two taels of silver, which is nearly a hundred taels of silver."

Su Niang was stunned, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

Chu Huan saw it and knew that Su Niang felt sorry for Jinzi. She was funny and didn't say anything. She was waiting for Su Niang to deal with the matter. In the future, there will be many affairs in the mansion to take care of. This little thing about buying clothes is just the beginning, so naturally Su Niang started from here.

Seeing that Su Niang didn't speak, Du Fugong couldn't help asking, "Madam, what do you mean?"

Su Niang said after a while: "You want... two taels of silver? Then... what kind of clothes are that?"

She used to live in Liujia Village, but after a year, she only spent a few taels of silver. At this time, she was really surprised to hear that a set of winter clothes would cost two taels of silver.

Du Fu said justice: "If it is an ordinary winter clothing, maybe one tael of silver is enough, but the adults are also high-ranking officials of the court. The servants in the mansion are always better treated than ordinary people. Two taels of silver are not expensive for a set of winter clothing."

Chu Huan stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek, thinking that the high-ranking officials of the court were senior officials of the court, so why should there be a "being or not" in front of it? This old prince has a strange temper. Although he is in the mansion, he seems to have little respect for his master.

Su Niang felt so distressed, but since Du Fugong proposed to buy winter clothes for the servants in the mansion, she always couldn't refuse. Moreover, she also understood in her heart that the weather was getting colder, and the servants in the mansion did not have winter clothes. If they really wanted to get winter, it was hard to resist it. This winter clothes were always on duty, but when he thought of a winter clothes that cost two taels of silver, he was still a little reluctant. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "Mr. Du, then... can everyone... have a set of each person?"

But she was thinking in her heart that if one set of clothes is two taels of silver, each person would save for forty or fifty taels of silver. Forty or fifty taels of silver was a huge sum of money for Su Niang.

Du Fugong said with a blank expression: "If your wife thinks this way, she will only buy one for each person... It's just that after a winter, there is no change of clothes, so there must be some dust. If an adult comes, and seeing that the servants in the adult's mansion are all sloppy, it may have an impact on his reputation."

Su Niang saved money, but also saved it for Chu Huan. At this time, he heard Du Fugong claim that if he saved money, it might have an impact on Chu Huan's reputation. He suddenly became nervous and asked, "It really... it will really affect Erlang... no, it will affect the master's reputation?"

Du Fugong glanced at Chu Huan and said, "I don't know what Du thinks so. If no one comes to visit him in the mansion, it would not have any impact."

Chu Huan laughed in her heart. The old guy was underestimating it, but he was obviously fighting for the benefits of the subordinates in the mansion.

On weekdays, this old guy hugged in the yard like a ghost and did not deal with other people. Everyone in the mansion only knew that there was an account room, and several people had never seen what the account room looked like. Du Fugong said that he had no friendship with anyone in the mansion. However, at this time, the old guy suddenly stood up to fight for treatment for his servants. Chu Huan felt a great favor for this old guy. It seemed that this mere literati was still a little chivalrous in his heart.

However, seeing that he was willing to endure humiliation for his best friend Ouyang Zhi, and even wanted to conquer the body of the Ouyang family for his crimes. He was indeed chivalrous.

Su Niang pondered for a moment, looked at Chu Huan, and thought about it again. She seemed to be fighting for distance in her heart. Finally, she said to Chu Huan: "Second... Master, each of them bought two sets of winter clothes. Do you think it's okay?"

Chu Huan Zhan smiled and nodded, "It's up to you to decide. In addition to winter clothes, each person buys two pairs of cotton shoes. In addition, he sends someone to buy a batch of dry charcoal. In winter, the house is also cold. When everyone turns back, there is another charcoal. After winter, charcoal is planted in the sleeping place. In this way, everyone can spend a warm winter."

Du Fugong suddenly showed surprise, and Su Niang was also surprised and said, "You still have to... buy cotton shoes and charcoal?"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "I feel warm, how can I not let it warm on my feet?" He looked at Du Fugong's slightly surprised face and said, "Mr. Du, do you disagree?"

Du Fugong came back to his senses and stroked his beards, "Is it that my lord said, how could Du disagree?"

Su Niang knew that it would have to spend some money again, and she felt a little reluctant to let it go, but since Chu Huan spoke, she naturally would not object, but speaking of it, it was all for the servants. Su Niang was born as a poor man and was very familiar with the situation of the poor. Thinking that although she spent a lot of money, she could make everyone warm and live a winter. Although Su Niang was reluctant to let it go, she felt that it was not unworthy. If she spent a lot of money just to buy a banquet, she would most likely object.

Chu Huan smiled and asked Su Niang, "Su Niang, what do you think?"

Su Niang nodded quickly, and then Chu Huan asked, "Mr. Du, do you have anything else?"

Du Fugong shook his head and said, "There is nothing else. Since the Lord and the wife have settled this matter, they will ask the wife to send silver to buy these things."

Chu Huan sighed and said, "Mr. Du called me over, just for these things. Mr. Du is fine, but I am fine!"

Du Fugong was stunned and didn't understand Chu Huan's meaning for a moment.

Chu Huan pondered for a moment and finally said, "Mr. Du, there are more than 20 people in the mansion. They don't say too much, and they don't say too little. My monthly salary is actually not much. I rely on my salary to support a family. After all, it's still a bit difficult..."

Du Fugong frowned, not understanding how generous Chu Huan had just shown before, but why he suddenly seemed to cry and become poor again.

Chu Huan saw Du Fugong's expression and smiled and said, "Mr. Du, don't misunderstand. Chu has just come to the capital and is from a poor family, so he is not as good as those rich and noble people. They all have some industries under them, which are enough to support their expenses..." After a pause, he finally asked, "Actually, I want to ask Mr., can we do some business as well?"

Chu Huan remembered that in ancient times, it was divided into four grades: scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Although this Qin Dynasty was not any dynasty in his memory, it was also different from the highest and lowest. He is now the Minister of Revenue and the Earl, but he does not know whether he can run some stores in the capital as a person in his own identity.

Du Fugong instantly understood what Chu Huan meant and frowned and said, "How many stores do you want to run in the capital?"

Chu Huan nodded and smiled, "That's true. With this, if you earn money, your life in the mansion will be much better."
