Chapter 245: Of course, eat it

Xinbao had already seen it, and pointed, "Over there!"

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "That's mine, right? Yours should be that one!"

The most indispensable items in a woman's bedroom and a daughter's boudoir are a dressing table and a dressing table. The two dressing tables are obviously different, one is simple and plain, while the other is exquisite and small. The smaller one is the treasured one.

Moreover, the mirror table at this time was somewhat like the dressing table of later generations. It was a combination of a mirror table, a storage table and a cabinet. The carvings were really elaborate and very beautiful. The mirror frame was a screen-style, just like a mini palace. The mortise and tenon joints were polished very smoothly. There were even two small drawers on one side of the storage table. If a child as small as Xinbao did not need a dressing table for the time being, silk flowers and the like could be stored in the small drawers.

Yan Shenjue stepped forward, opened the cabinet and took a look.

Brother Tang smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"

He wanted to joke and say that if you want one, he would buy you one, but Yan Shenjue said as a matter of course: "Let me see where Xinbao will hide the candy in the future."

Pfft! Several people burst into laughter.

Only Tuanzi said disapprovingly: "Xinbao would never hide candy in such an obvious place!"

"Oh?" Yan Xiaolang tilted his head and asked curiously, "Where is the best place to hide it?"

Tuanzi said: "Of course..."

She swallowed it in time and said in a loud voice: "Of course I eat it and hide it in my stomach!!" After saying that, she secretly glanced at him.

Yan Shenjue's beautiful peach blossom eyes were curved, and he was filled with her cuteness.

Tuanzi's brain is really quick now. Not only can he detect things in time, but he can also tell a perfect lie quickly. He really misses the silly Tuanzi who would talk a lot without stopping.

Brother Tang smiled and said, "Dad, why do I feel like there are still a lot of things missing?"

Tang Qingshan pondered and said, "I originally thought that I would first decorate the hall and the unimportant small items in everyone's room, and then go back and find someone from the village to do it."

Mrs. Lin advised him, "You've already spent a lot of money, so you can't afford to waste this little bit. If you look for it in the village, it's freezing cold and you can't start working. How are you going to get through the next few months? Besides, it's rough and clumsy, and it doesn't match these things. It doesn't look good either. It's better to just buy them all from here."

Tang Qingshan frowned slightly, and Brother Tang also said: "That's right, Dad, it won't cost more than 20 or 30 taels, why not just get it from here, it's faster, and you can use it before the New Year."

Tang Qingshan glanced at him and asked, "Twenty or thirty taels?"

He seemed to be disdaining his son's frivolous tone, but Madam Lin chimed in: "What's wrong with twenty or thirty taels? My son can make money now, so what should I be afraid of!"

Yan Chenjue coughed lightly and said, "Why don't I pay for it? I'm staying at your house, so I should also pay some money."

"No need," Tang Qingshan made the final decision: "Then let's see what we are missing and start fighting later."

Yan Shenjue said, "I think the step-out bed outside is quite exquisite. Why don't I buy it for Xinbao?"

Madam Lin said, "You don't need to buy this!"

Yan Shenjue said: "But I can't..."

"Be obedient!" Madam Lin patted his back. "I'm not being polite to you, but this step-out bed is for my parents to buy as a dowry for my daughter. I can't ask you to buy it. It's against the rules. Wait for me...wait for your uncle Qingshan to find a way to make some money and buy a good one for my baby!"

Yan Shenjue obediently said nothing, turned around and hugged Xinbao.

Madam Lin took a few steps forward, strolled around and looked around, saying, "Boss, when Xinbaoer grows up, can you afford a step-out bed?"

Tang Qingshan said calmly: "Yes."

Madam Lin nodded, looking relieved: "That's fine!"

A few people were carrying things when they suddenly saw a familiar figure walking by. Brother Tang saw him and asked curiously, "Xiao Yu?"

Shen Zhuoli, who had just walked over, turned around and hurried back: "Uncle Fan, why are you here?"

He looked inside and hurried over to greet everyone. Brother Tang asked, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Zhuoli said, "Grandpa asked me to buy a house, so I came to take a look at these desks."

He paused for a moment, then asked Yan Shenjue, "Uncle Xiaojue, it was you who came to see Grandpa last night, right?"

Yan Shenjue nodded, and Madam Lin asked, "Is the Second Master okay?"

Shen Zhuoli said, "Today is my grandfather's birthday. I saw that Uncle An has accepted your gifts, but he has not accepted any gifts except yours and the Yuan family's. My grandfather is not at home either. He said he left with Huo Yuntao early in the morning. He only said that there was an urgent matter in the gang, but I don't know what it was."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yan Shenjue said: "I don't know either."

Shen Zhuoli didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and said with a smile, "Are you going to move?"

"We have to wait a few more days," said Brother Tang, "These were ordered before. Let's see if it works and add more."

"Speaking of this," Shen Zhuoli said, "I just bought a house. There are many old bookcases in this house. I think they are not broken. It would be a pity to throw them away. If you don't mind, would you like to use them? I think they match your colors."

Brother Tang asked, "Aren't you going to stay?"

Shen Zhuoli shook his head. "All the furniture in the room is gone. Only a few bookcases and two large chests are left. If I keep them, I have to buy other things to match them. It doesn't seem to save money, and it doesn't look good. I thought I would buy the light yellow ones to match the small patch of osmanthus in the yard. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Brother Tang smiled and agreed: "Thank you, I'll go take a look later."

Shen Zhuoli was now much more familiar with them, and spoke more casually. He said in a coquettish tone, "Then I'll go shopping with you first. After you finish shopping, you can accompany me to look at the yard and pick out some furniture, okay?"

Brother Tang smiled and said, "Of course it's possible, but I'm a rough man and can't tell what it is. Xiao Jue can go with you to pick it out."

Yan Chen said without hesitation: "Okay."

Shen Zhuoli smiled and said, "Then will you accompany me to buy servants? I have never bought one before. I think if one lives alone, shouldn't one at least have a doorman and a cook? What else is needed?"

Madam Lin could not help but say, "If you live alone, there won't be so many guests to come and go, so you don't actually need a doorman. You can just pick a servant who is fourteen or fifteen years old or older. If you are a scholar, just pick a bookboy. If guests come, ask the servant to open the door and entertain them. As for a cook, you don't need to hire one. You can hire a temporary worker to cook meals. If it's a small courtyard, you can give her ten cents a day, and she can probably do all the cleaning work. You can also take care of the laundry, but she won't live at home..."

Shen Zhuoli immediately came over and said, "Grandma, can you accompany me to pick a servant?"

Madam Lin smiled and nodded: "Okay, but I'm not really picky about people. You can ask... Ahem, Grandpa to go with you. He's very good at judging people."

Shen Zhuoli was about the same age as her son, and they were not relatives, so it was a bit embarrassing to be a grandparent. Shen Zhuoli probably saw that she was uncomfortable, so he changed his name to grandma. Locals rarely called her grandma, but some merchants would do so, and it did sound more intimate than calling her grandma.
