Chapter 50: Can't you two think about the children?
Seeing that there was no one here, Siming said: "It's not easy to move the things in here out. I'm afraid they were left behind by the ancestors of this building."
He looked at the exquisitely crafted jewelry and said, "I don't recommend selling these. You can tell they're not ordinary items. Just one or two pieces will be enough to be the store's treasures."
"Your eldest brother is right. You need to find someone you trust to move the things in here bit by bit. Otherwise, if the previous owner finds out, it will be hard to explain."
Madam Si said.
"I know that, but it's only easy for children to get in and out of here. It's probably hard for adults. There's no telling how much stuff is in there. It would be troublesome if we ran into someone who wasn't honest."
Si Tian was wondering how to find the right person.
"Please wait here for now until we find the right person. Let the craftsmen work on the jade we brought. As for the gold and silver for inlay, I just took out some, which should be enough."
"Just say later that someone brought it from home. I'll have Achen lock it. It won't be easy to open it."
Siming handed him the things he brought out, but did not give him the finished product, as he planned to take it back and put it away.
Madam Si pushed Si Tian to find Shopkeeper Lu to explain the remaining matters.
"You two little mud monkeys, you have to take a bath when you go back." Siming looked at the two dusty children and had the urge to throw them out.
"Dad is a big mud monkey." Juanjuan looked at Siming, who was also covered in dust.
"Hahaha!" The three of them suddenly burst into laughter.
When Madam Si and Si Tian returned, the secret door inside had been locked.
"Have you explained everything?" Siming asked the two of them.
"Okay, let's go back and give our two little mice a bath." Si Tian reached out and pinched the two children's gray little faces.
Several people got in the car and returned to the Governor's Mansion.
Bai Ling was stunned when she saw them: "What's going on?"
"Let's boil water for the two children to take a bath first, otherwise their bodies will itch soon." Old Madam Si ordered the family to boil water.
Si Jinchen was taken to take a bath by Siming, while Bailing helped Juanjuan take a bath.
Bailing took off her gray clothes. A lot of dust fell down and it was almost impossible to see the original color of the clothes.
"Miss, where have you been? How come you've turned into a little gray mouse after going out?"
"I just went to explore my second uncle's shop." Juanjuan said with a smile.
Bailing looked at her body. Her originally fair and tender skin was now covered with red spots. "Is it itchy?"
After hearing what she said, Juanjuan really felt a little itchy and wanted to reach out and scratch it.
Bailing was afraid that she would scratch it: "Don't scratch it, don't scratch it. It will hurt if you scratch it. I'll give you a bath and apply medicine after I finish it."
Juanjuan's little face was wrinkled, and he tried hard not to scratch the itchy spot.
After I washed my hair and soaked in the bathtub, I felt less itchy.
"Miss, don't move. I'll ask the housekeeper to get some medicine." Bai Ling was afraid that she would feel itchy, so she let her soak for a while.
"Okay!" Juanjuan nodded obediently.
She lay on the edge of the bathtub, where there was a window through which she could see the sky outside.
The clouds in the sky change into various shapes, sometimes like a leaf, sometimes like a small flower.
When Bailing brought the medicine, she found that she had fallen asleep on the edge of the bathtub.
He put down the medicine, gently picked her up, dried her hair, and applied medicine to the red areas on her body.
The faint smell of medicine made Juanjuan wrinkle her nose in her sleep.
Bailing laughed when she saw it. It seemed that their young lady really didn't like medicine.
Even when I smelled it in my sleep, I wrinkled my nose.
After dressing Juanjuan, he held her by the charcoal fire, covered her with a quilt, and slept with her in his arms.
I was afraid that her hair wasn't dry yet, so if I let her go to bed like that, she might catch a cold.
When Mrs. Si pushed the door open and came in, she saw Bailing holding her. When she got closer, she saw that the little girl had fallen asleep.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Did you apply medicine to her?"
"I have wiped it. I was afraid that she would get sick if her hair was not dry, so I held her and dried her hair before letting her go back to bed." Bailing answered in a low voice.
"Thank you for your hard work." Old Madam Si patted Bailing's shoulder and walked out.
After Si Ming finished bathing Si Jinchen, he went back to take a bath himself.
When Si Jinchen heard that Juanjuan fell asleep, he dried his hair and went to bed.
"A Tian." Si Ming came down from upstairs and saw him reading a newspaper.
"Brother, come and take a look." Si Tian waved at him.
Siming walked over to sit next to him and took the newspaper he handed over: "What is it?"
"Look, can you understand what it means?" Si Tian pointed to a page in the newspaper.
Sima Ming looked down and saw not words but pictures.
It looks vivid and interesting, and even without words, you can understand what it means.
"Did you hire someone to draw this?"
Si Tian smiled proudly: "Not bad, this way even people who can't read can understand the meaning."
"This is a good idea. It saves you from having people shouting with loudspeakers every day." Siming said with a smile.
"This was taught to me by Juanjuan, but I also put up posters. After all, those who can buy newspapers are literate." Si Tian said with a smile.
Siming flipped through the news in the newspaper: "It seems that you don't have enough manpower when things get busy."
"It's indeed not enough. Cuiyulou needs to find a shopkeeper or manager, otherwise Shopkeeper Lu will be too busy. The new clothing store is doing good business now." Si Tian also felt a headache.
"Do you think the people in the Liu family will go crazy if Liu Cheng'an comes to help?" Si Ming said casually while looking at the newspaper.
"Brother, you are too mean. Are you just trying to fleece the Liu family?" Although Si Tian said this, there was a smile in his eyes.
"It's because the Liu family is so powerful that they are like an indestructible cockroach." Siming looked at him with a smile.
"Who is the indestructible cockroach?" Mrs. Si heard this sentence as she came in.
"Mom, let's talk about the Liu family. Where are the two children?" Si Tian looked at her and said.
"Juanjuan and Achen are both asleep, but Juanjuan has a rash, which should be caused by dust." Old Lady Si said as she sat on the sofa.
"Is it serious? Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?" Si Ming put away the newspaper in his hand.
Madam Si: "Bai Ling has already given her medicine. Let's observe her first. If she doesn't get better, ask Doctor Huai to come and take a look."
"This girl is most afraid of taking bitter medicine. If she is asked to take medicine, her little face will probably be wrinkled like a bitter gourd." Si Tian found it interesting just thinking about it.
"If he is really sick, he has to take it. The child will probably cry after the injection." Siming felt sorry when he thought of the scene.
Madam Si reached out and slapped her two sons: "Can't you two think of the good things about your children?"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. I won't say anymore." Si Tian surrendered immediately.
Madam Si looked at the box on the table and asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow's banquet?"
