"Young Master found you, that's good, that's good. It's an urgent matter, yes, I have urgent business with you. Can we discuss it at the store?" Seeing the expression in the young master's eyes, Cheng Zhong instantly understood, thinking of a solution in his heart, and agreed to lead Xiangbei to the store first.
The spicy and popular must-try technique
Once in the store, they first accompanied the two upstairs, then arranged for hot water for washing, and set up a table for lunch. Xiangbei watched Cheng Zhong busying around like a spinning top, reluctant to interrupt him to ask about the urgent matter. When he finally paused, Xiangbei stopped the person who was about to go downstairs.
"Uncle Zhong, please don't rush. If there's anything, just say it. There's no need to hesitate. As long as it's something I can help with, I'll definitely do my best."
"This urgent matter, this urgent matter—"
"Yes, Uncle Zhong, go ahead, whatever it is, just say it." Cheng Mo took over Cheng Zhong's gaze, signaling to fabricate a story, saying anything would do.
"Well, then I'll say it. It's, it's, that day, the young lady from Auntie's family, she came to town early in the morning looking for you. She said she had an appointment with you to go shopping together. She waited until after lunch. If you hadn't shown up, she would have gone back. That child grew up watching, so when she asked me, I hurriedly looked for you, almost delaying your important matters with Boss Qiao. It's my fault for not understanding the situation."
"Ah, it's Aodou, rare for her to come to town. Is she alone? Going out once must be difficult for them, right? Haven't they left yet? Quickly, quickly, call her up. I want to go shopping with her for a while."
"Yes, Uncle Zhong, so it's about this matter. You should have said it earlier. That girl loves to arrange outings and buy little things together. Right, Xiangbei? Aodou's father's carriage will arrive soon. She probably visits the town often, more familiar than you. From now on, you two should spend more time together. If you need anything, let her help you."
Cheng Zhong received the approving look from the young master and immediately understood: this Miss Aodou is probably promoted to the first-class senior maid from today, following this future Miss. Looking closely at the person in front of him, the young girl has not reached the age of adulthood, but between the eyebrows that have not fully opened, there seems to be more and more of the youthful charm of the former young mistress. For a moment, his eyes turned red, but he smiled and said to Xiangbei, "Yes, Miss Bei, Aodou is a kind-hearted maid. Uncle Zhong will tell her later. From now on, let her accompany you. She can help you with sewing, washing, and other things."
"How can that be? Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian wouldn't dare. They are so happy; they wouldn't even have time to cook me."
"They dare not. You are so clever; helping them teach their daughter would be even better than him." Before Cheng Mo finished speaking, they heard Cheng Tian reporting at the door, "Young Master, the goods have all arrived."
Xiangbei stuck out his tongue at Cheng Mo, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. You dare to talk behind people's backs. I'll let you dare to do it again in the future."
Cheng Mo playfully tapped Xiangbei's forehead with his finger, "I dare to say it in front of you and behind you." Then he looked up and ordered, "Cheng Tian, Uncle Zhong said to let your Aodou follow Miss Bei from now on, help out, and learn a bit from Miss Bei. What do you think?"
Cheng Tian's face lit up, immediately stepping forward and bowing, "Thank you, Miss Bei, for your guidance. Miss Bei is not only clever but also very wise. Even if that girl only listens to a few words by her side, it's a great fortune for her."
Alright, these few people felt that between their words, the fate of Little Duo has been decided. The evil feudal society, it's not easy for women. Whatever, since they are going to cooperate with the Cheng family, just leave their own person in town as a contact person. After all, they can't find extra help in the mountains.
"Cheng Tian, from now on, let Little Duo be my contact person in town. Whether it's with Boss Qiao or the cooperation on this side of Fuhai Building, I have a lot to do. I'm planning to find a courtyard in town to arrange a foothold. Can Little Duo help me manage it?"
