Yan Shiqing got up early, and even Chu Ximo, who returned home after the fourth shift, was also woken up by her.
"Ah Mo, get up quickly. Huai Jin is probably arriving soon. Let's go to the pier to pick him up."
Chu Ximo closed her eyes, stretched her body, stretched out her arms to hug the person beside the bed, and said softly: "Yes!"
Yan Shiqing reached out and touched his face, feeling a little distressed when she saw that he was too tired to open his eyes.
She knew that the ship was about to go on trial and it was a busy time. It was rare for him to find time to come back from the shipbuilding base.
Look at the blue and black under his eyes, I'm afraid he hasn't had a good rest during this period of time.
"Ah Mo, why don't I go by myself and you can rest a little longer?"
Chu Ximo opened his bloodshot eyes tiredly and said in a hoarse voice: "No, I'll get up right now. You must do what you promised him and set an example for him!"
Yan Shiqing knew what he was talking about. It was the first time the little guy had written a letter in person, saying that he hoped his father and mother would come to pick him up.
Chu Ximo also formally replied to the little guy with a letter, although there were only a few words, saying that he would pick him up and asked him to listen to Uncle Xuan's words.
Now that the little one is coming, he, as a father, doesn't want to break his promise.
"How about you keep your eyes open for a while, and I'll have someone keep an eye on him first, and then we can pick him up at the gate?"
Picking up at the gate, that’s called picking up, right? Anyway, the little guy’s crooked letter didn’t clearly indicate where to pick up the phone.
Chu Ximo had sat up completely now. He reached out and rubbed his temples: "I'm afraid he won't be happy. It's okay, I'll get up right now!"
Seeing this, Yan Shiqing stood up sideways and took the initiative to massage his temples.
Seeing that the fatigue in his eyes had not diminished at all, he couldn't help but said: "How long has it been since you had a good rest?"
Chu Ximo closed his eyes, and with the strength of Yan Shiqing's hand, his frown was gradually smoothed: "It didn't take long! It's just that I haven't had much rest in the past few days. It will be much better after the ship is tested."
When he said this, he paused and said: "There are still more than two months before we have to go out. Emperor Dexuan has made no move at all. Qingqing, are you really sure?"
After Chu Ximo said this, he opened his eyes again.
"Well, it should be okay! The stock of rouge gouache has been prepared. Nuanxiang Pavilion will start selling it today, and you will know when you see it."
Yan Shiqing knew that Emperor Dexuan would definitely be watching her every move. As long as those rouge and gouache were in hot sales, he would definitely settle the score in his mind.
Once the accounts are settled, I won't be afraid that he won't be jealous.
Chu Ximo didn't know how she was so confident. He had been at the shipbuilding base, and he didn't know very well whether she had used anyone to promote it before.
Otherwise, no matter how well-selling Nuanxiangge's perfume is, if a rouge gouache is suddenly launched, no one will know what it is like, let alone buy it.
"Well, you just need to have an idea. Qi Lie has already discussed the countermeasures and fully cooperates with you. Time is running out, we have to hurry up."
"I know!"
As Yan Shiqing spoke, she changed the topic and said, "How about I give you two injections to cheer you up?"
"No need, I'll get up right away."
As he spoke, he moved his legs under the bed, stood up and prepared to change.
Seeing this, Yan Shiqing stepped aside and said, "The water is ready. You wash up first. I'll go out and let someone prepare the meal!"
In the dining room, the little baby got up earlier than Yan Shiqing.
After she practiced boxing early in the morning, she started preparing breakfast.
After she placed the last basket of shrimp dumplings, she saw her princess coming over with her belly puffed out.
She hurriedly greeted her: "Why did the princess come here in person? I thought you would be late, so I was preparing to go over and help you change your clothes."
Yan Shiqing knew that the little baby was nervous about her stomach, so she immediately said: "I'm not a porcelain doll, don't worry. Now that the breakfast is set, you go and see the master for me. But get up and ask her to come and have a meal with us. Wait for the master."
After you come here, you should go down and have a meal quickly, don't go hungry. Cuiyun's cooking is pretty good, you can try it."
Yan Shiqing knew that the little baby loved to eat and couldn't stand being hungry, so she called her to call Mrs. Ni.
As soon as Ms. Ni is in the courtyard, she can have breakfast by herself, so she won't be hungry.
Otherwise, if she were to serve here, she would have to wait until they, the masters, had finished eating.
In the past, when she was alone, she wasn't so particular about it. She always asked Xiaowa to go with Aunt Huo.
But now that Chu Ximo and Ni were here, and she was already a princess, it was naturally not easy to ask them to come together.
Even if she didn't care, Xiaowa and the others wouldn't dare to do it when Chu Ximo and Ni were around.
For example, Grandma Huo's family always has a separate table in their own courtyard.
Xiaowa also knew what Yan Shiqing was thinking, so she nodded clearly: "Yes, I'll go right now. Princess, I want to have a meal with Shaoyao's family in the next few days, is that possible?"
Yan Shiqing was stunned when she heard this, and said with surprise in her eyes: "Not with Zhai and the others?"
The little baby lowered his head and was a little nervous, but that was only a momentary thing.
"The princess also knows that the slave has a good relationship with Shaoyao and wants to work with her. She will cook at the farmhouse at noon and evening. If the slave is there, then use it there. If it is at the house and Grandma Huo doesn't have anything to do in the yard,
Just go with Lian'er and the others. Zhai and Yinshan are some grown men with big appetites."
Yan Shiqing became more and more puzzled when she heard her looking away at him.
But since she brought it up and didn't want to say more, it wouldn't be easy for her as the master to get to the bottom of it.
I'll ask you what's going on when you have free time.
Is it possible that you are at odds with Zhai and the others?
It shouldn’t be!
She just arrived yesterday, and she was still lively and active at that time, which is completely different from now.
Could it be that something happened without her knowing?
"Okay, it's up to you. Over in the kitchen, you can go back and tell Nanny Huo to add some more dishes and rice."
With Yan Shiqing's words, the little boy's heart suddenly dropped: "Thank you, Princess, I will call Aunt Ni right now!"
After the little baby walked away, Bai Zhi, who was standing outside the door, came in.
"Bai Zhi, my little one stayed with you last night. Do you know why she wanted to go to Aunt Huo's courtyard to have dinner instead of with you?"
Bai Zhi has always been by Yan Shiqing's side, and she is Xiao Wa's subordinate. Even though she lives with Xiao Wa, she is not as close as Shao Yao Lai, so naturally she doesn't know these things.
Hearing this, she shook her head: "Go back to the princess, I don't know!"
Yan Shiqing lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then raised her head to look at the courtyard door where the little baby had long disappeared.
This is the first time that the little baby is so abnormal.
It seems that she has to find time to ask Shaoyao.yyls
Xiaowa went to see her yesterday, she should know.
When the breakfast was finished, Mrs. Ni put down her chopsticks and immediately said: "Shiqing, Huaijin is coming today. I will go with you to greet him as my master."
"Master, this can't be done. You are an elder, so there is no reason to go and greet him as a junior. As parents, Amo and I made an appointment with him when we wrote the letter, so we had to go."
Ni didn't care about the issue of seniority at all: "What about the elders? According to my status, I am just an ordinary businessman in Da Chu, but Huai Jin is the prince. I, a citizen of Da Chu, go to welcome the prince
What's wrong?"
Yan Shiqing was a little dumbfounded. She knew that Mr. Ni really loved the little guy.
That's all, if she wants to go, then go.
"Okay, that's it. I'll go out with you now."
Mrs. Ni was afraid of Yan Shiqing and citing her seniority, so she immediately expressed her position directly and did not even want to go back to her own courtyard.
After having breakfast, Chu Ximo felt much better and her eyes were not so red.
When he saw Mrs. Ni and Yan Shiqing finished speaking, he immediately called out: "Zhai!"
"master!"
"Is the carriage ready?"
"Go back to the master, it's ready and it's parked at the gate!"
Yan Shiqing always felt that something was wrong with Zhai for some reason.
It was clear that the conversation between these two people was no different from usual.
But she felt uncomfortable for no reason, and she couldn't pinpoint the specific reason.
After Zhai went down, she turned to look at Chu Ximo: "Ah Mo, is there something wrong with Zhai?"
Zhai's position in Chu Ximo's heart was the same as Xiaowa's in Yan Shiqing's heart, so he naturally noticed something was wrong with him.
After hearing this, he immediately said: "The mood seems a bit depressed!"
Yesterday, Yinshan was by his side. Mr. Zhai returned to Jiang Mansion a long time ago. How could he still be in a low mood?
It was obvious that he was still a little excited before he came back first.
After a day, something doesn't feel right. What's going on?
Chu Ximo took a careful look at the people and things around him, and immediately thought of the little baby.
Yesterday Xiaowa came over and Zhai came back.
But since Xiaowa came back, he hasn't seen anyone yet, which was impossible in the past.
Could it be that Zhai and Xiaowa had a falling out?
Thinking of this, he looked at Yan Shiqing: "Where is the little baby?"
Yan Shiqing heard him ask about the little boy abruptly, and said: "What's wrong? What's the matter? The little boy was a little strange today. He said he wanted to have dinner with Aunt Huo and his family, and also talked about Zhai and his family.
I have a large appetite, so don’t use it together.”
When she said this, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed across her eyes: "Ah Mo, what do you mean, they are having a conflict?"
"It's possible. I'll ask later. Let's go now. The little guy may have already arrived."
Yan Shiqing's mind was a little confused, and she was led by Chu Ximo towards the door.
It wasn't until she got on the carriage that she realized what she was doing. She immediately opened the curtain and looked at the little baby sitting on the carriage shaft.
"Xiaowa, what happened to you and Zhai?"
The little boy's heart tightened, knowing that the princess had noticed the problem. He immediately pursed his lips and turned around and said: "Back to the princess, it's nothing. I will take care of it. Princess, don't worry."
When Yan Shiqing heard what she said, she subconsciously said, "But did he bully you?"
"No."
Seeing that the little baby didn't want to say more, Yan Shiqing nodded and lowered the car curtain.
"Ah Mo, what do you think? What kind of conflicts can they have? One is deliberately avoiding it, the other is in a low mood..."
Yan Shiqing said, she was stunned for a moment, then opened her eyes wide: "Could it be that they fell in love with each other, something went wrong later, and now they are at odds?"
