After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

While Jiang Xiaohua and Wu Gang were talking, they had already walked outside the workshop gate.

Jiang Xiaohua untied the mule's reins and thought with a smile, "Well... rather than calling it the treasure of the store, it would be more appropriate to call it the proud work."

She looked at Wu Gang, "Whether you can create a rouge that no one else has and that is widely respected by women in the capital depends on the skills of Master Wu and Master Zhou."

Wu Gang solemnly handed over his hand, "My boss is willing to trust me and entrust us with such an important task."

"I will do my best."

He hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Xiaohua with firm eyes, "Please give me a few more days, my boss."

"When my boss comes next time, I'm afraid I will have to ask my boss to help me try out the new rouge."

Since his first conversation with Jiang Xiaohua, Wu Gang, apart from being busy inside and outside the workshop, spent the rest of his time researching new rouge.

Although he has now tried out more than a dozen colors.

But he believed that there was no real breakthrough, so he was not satisfied.

Jiang Xiaohua also encouraged Wu Gang seriously, "I have always believed in Master Wu's craftsmanship."

After she said that, she sat on the cart gracefully and drove away on the mule cart.

It was already afternoon when Jiang Xiaohua returned home.

She saw Jiang Yuanheng outside her home again.

Jiang Yuanheng wore a robe made of Yun brocade today.

It is a bright green brocade with only a few bamboo branches embroidered with gold thread on the shoulders.

He paced back and forth in the alley as the daylight gradually dimmed.

Looking from a distance, there is a bright and shining mass.

Jiang Yuanheng heard the movement of carriages and horses, and turned around to see Jiang Xiaohua.

He waved happily, and the gleaming golden threads and emerald green were blinding.

When Jiang Xiaohua got out of the car and faced Jiang Yuanheng, she couldn't help but put up an awning to cover her eyes.

"I haven't seen Mr. Jiang for a few days, but you are still so energetic."

Jiang Yuanheng sighed, "A hundred times more energetic?"

"Ms. Jiang, if you look carefully, I'm obviously tired and thin."

Jiang Xiaohua saw the lock on her door, took out the key and asked:

"Why are you so tired, Mr. Jiang?"

"I heard from Master Wu that you haven't been to the workshop recently."

Jiang Yuanheng said, "I haven't considered that there are too many things during the Chinese New Year, and some things I can't put off."

"So these past few days I have been studying behind closed doors at home and haven't gone anywhere."

He grinned again and said, "There is no need to go to the workshop in the future."

"Now that I have officially handed it over to you, I can just throw away my hands and hide away, just waiting for the annual dividends."

Jiang Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh, "Master Jiang is really an honest person."

The two of them entered the courtyard while talking.

Jiang Yuanheng looked at the empty yard and said, "Where have my four little friends gone?"

"I specially chose this time to come because I thought there should be someone at home."

"In the end, I was rejected."

Jiang Xiaohua said, "They must have gone to play with their classmates. I'm sorry for keeping Young Master Jiang waiting."

Jiang Yuanheng waved his hand, "I paid a sudden visit without saying hello in advance."

In the main room, Jiang Xiaohua reached over the charcoal stove and explored it.

There was only a slight residual temperature, which showed that the stove lid had been sealed long ago, and there was no water to boil for rice even at noon.

Jiang Xiaohua was also very confused.

It's okay that Li Yuanzhi was busy and couldn't come back at noon. Where are these four little boys?

Could it be that he also went to the shop?

She opened the stove lid, let the charcoal fire burn brightly again, then put the cast iron kettle on it and said:

"Master Jiang, sit down first. I'll make tea after washing my hands."

Jiang Yuanheng was not polite, "I want to drink black tea, I remember you have it here."

Jiang Xiaohua poured water and washed her hands and said, "Yes, it's just an ordinary outside mountain souchong."

"It's not as good as the lapsang souchong in your house."

"Just drink this." Jiang Yuanheng said with a smile, "Ms. Jiang's tea is good, I believe the one you picked will be good."

A pot of black tea, two teacups, a plate of thumb puffs, and a plate of oranges were already on the table.

Jiang Xiaohua and Jiang Yuanheng sat opposite each other, holding a pot and pouring tea.

The tea is slowly poured into the plain porcelain cup. The color is orange-red and the aroma is sweet.

"Young Master Jiang should not just come to me to drink tea and chat, right?"

Jiang Yuanheng took the teacup, blew on it, and said with a smile, "I'm really in trouble."

"What Mrs. Jiang said about drinking tea and chatting is the first reason."

"The second reason is that I was assigned by my mother."

"I just received an urgent letter from Feige from home yesterday. My mother said that she acted carelessly and was a little abrupt. She asked me to come and apologize to Mrs. Jiang in person."

Jiang Xiaohua immediately thought of the cause. It must have been when she was picking up clothes at Shengji Clothing Store earlier.

Mrs. Sheng entrusted the shopkeeper to give her this gift.

So she smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Sheng kindly gave me a gift."

"I am too embarrassed to accept it. This is not Madam's fault. There is no need to apologize."

"Oh," Jiang Yuanheng waved his hand majestically, "Of course I know you are not that kind of narrow-minded person."

"But my mother is a stickler for words, so even if she asked me to do it, I wouldn't dare not do it."

Jiang Xiaohua was a little helpless, "Can you please tell Madam for me?"

"I know Madam has good intentions, and I, a junior, understand her sincerely."

Jiang Yuanheng lowered his eyes and blew the tea, "I don't need to tell you this."

"My mother will come to the capital soon to celebrate the New Year, and she has long wanted to see you."

"You can talk to each other face to face when the time comes."

Jiang Xiaohua was surprised, "Mrs. Sheng is coming to the capital and wants to see me?"

Jiang Yuanheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this."

"Although the letter didn't say it, I guess she met you just to talk about the follow-up of the workshop."

Jiang Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, now Mrs. Sheng is her major shareholder.

It's okay to meet and talk about serious business.

Jiang Yuanheng continued, "There is a third reason, which is Chen Sheng."

Jiang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Mr. Chen? You didn't know him when I went to your house last time."

Jiang Yuanheng said, "I really didn't know him at that time."

"Later he visited my house, and we became familiar with him from time to time."

"When I was confused about my studies, he also helped me interpret it. He is quite a good person."

Jiang Xiaohua was even more confused, "Then, what does it have to do with me?"

Jiang Yuanheng smiled and said, "He heard about the workshop I opened in partnership with you."

"He said he was particularly interested and wanted me to take him to visit."

"I was embarrassed to refuse, so I agreed."

Jiang Xiaohua suddenly remembered, "Yes, he also mentioned this to me."

"But I've been busy recently and haven't had time to make an appointment with him, so I forgot about it."

Jiang Yuanheng said, "That's just right. I'll take him there when it's convenient."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuanheng has completed all three tasks during this trip.

He took an orange and peeled it while looking around boredly.

"Oh, my brother Li went out to look for glassware. He spent so many days looking for it."

"I don't know when I will come back."

Jiang Xiaohua was about to speak.

I heard loud laughter outside, "The door is open! Is mom back?!"
