Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

"Let me help you disinfect it." Lu Ziren picked up a small cotton ball that Xia Yingying had opened, and poured a little alcohol from a small porcelain cup onto the cotton ball. He used a pair of wooden tweezers to wipe Xia Yingying's ear hole inside and out. The cold alcohol was rubbed on Xia Yingying's ear, and Xia Yingying's earlobe, which had just been touched by Lu Ziren, was still red.

But as the alcohol took effect, the heat seemed to slowly subside. However, Xia Yingying could deeply feel the places where Lu Ziren touched, as if her blood was boiling. After Lu Ziren helped Xia Yingying clean her ear holes, he also removed the poison from Xia Yingying's earrings and placed them in the jewelry box.

Xia Yingying didn't have time to think about the embarrassment just now. She just wanted to draw the sketch as quickly as possible.

After all, what could be more important than making money? Especially since it is just the end of the year, it is a good time to make money.

Xia Yingying asked Jixiang to bring paper and pen.

"Jixiang, please go to the study and get me some paper, pen and ink. I want to draw. By the way, Ruyi, please go to the kitchen and get me some charcoal pencils later."

Speaking of paper and pens, the brush was definitely not for her, but for Lu Ziren. Xia Yingying knew this well.

"Yes, ma'am." Jixiang Ruyi went out after hearing Xia Yingying's instructions.

Xia Yingying stroked her temples with her fingers and went over the design that had just flashed through her mind clearly in her mind, so that when she started to draw later, she could draw it as quickly as possible and not waste extra time.

After a while, Jixiang Ruyi, one holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the other holding a black, sharpened charcoal pencil, brought them to Xia Yingying. Xia Yingying spread out a piece of paper and used the charcoal pencil to sketch the design of the two-story store she had just conceived.

Lu Ziren stood beside Xia Yingying with his hands behind his back, like a teacher supervising her studies.

"What do you think of this?"

Xia Yingying originally wanted Lu Ziren to help her review it. Xia Yingying was just a layman, and she only had some simple ideas. If the project was to be implemented, it could only be handed over to professionals.

Xia Yingying's painting skills are not very good. She uses squares or circles to represent large items such as tables, cabinets, and chairs.

Xia Yingying was afraid that Lu Ziren wouldn't understand, so she pointed at the sketch on the picture and explained to him.

Lu Ziren looked at him calmly and nodded from time to time.

There were some things that Xia Yingying didn't explain well, and when Lu Ziren didn't understand, he would ask Xia Yingying appropriately. Xia Yingying also explained and discussed with Lu Ziren, and Lu Ziren also understood what Xia Yingying wanted to draw, but he also had his own opinions.

"If the cabinets on the upper level are exactly the same as the ones below, wouldn't that be a bad idea? After all, there would be no difference between the pastry cabinets in your store above and the cabinets below." Lu Ziran said to Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying couldn't help but blink her eyes. What Lu Ziren said was indeed right.

"Then according to your idea, what do you think should be done?" Xia Yingying didn't know which cabinet would be more suitable, so she immediately asked Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren also shook his head.

"You can write this down first. When you go to Jingjing's mother, ask her carefully and let her help you decide. She knows a lot about these things. Wang's family used to be in business and was a well-known wealthy businessman. She has seen a lot of good things.

I have come into contact with many dignitaries, and they will definitely be able to help you."

Lu Ziren explained to Xia Yingying.

"Well, okay. Are there any other questions about the drawings?" Xia Yingying asked.

"I can't tell if there's anything wrong with the drawings, and I don't understand."

"You need to ask Wang about the patterns designed on your cabinet and the decoration layout of the cabinet.

If she has any good suggestions, you can arrange it if you think it is suitable, but if you think it is not suitable, then you don’t have to. ”

Lu Ziren was worried again and told Xia Yingying everything he knew.

Xia Yingying nodded after hearing this.

But now there is a question, when is the right time to visit Jingjing's mother?

If it takes a whole day to visit tomorrow, it will be too late the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Now we don’t know when we can open the pastry shop. Can it really not be done before the New Year? How many days can she make money?

Xia Yingying's face was wrinkled and she was pulling her hair in distress.

Lu Ziren saw Xia Yingying's distress and immediately added, "If you want to see Wang sooner, you can send the visiting card this afternoon. You can also go together. Jingjing's mother will not refuse to see you."

After hearing what Lu Ziren said, Xia Yingying first leaned forward slightly and couldn't help frowning. This was too blatant and not very polite.

"Will you go tomorrow after breakfast?"

Xia Yingying asked hesitantly.

"If we go there tomorrow afternoon, it will take time to prepare the blueprints, build the cabinets, and decorate the store. The Chinese New Year is also approaching. Do you want to just open the lower floor?"

Lu Ziren pointed out the problems in what Xia Yingying said.

Xia Yingying naturally wanted to open the pastry shop as soon as possible so that she could make more money.

Never mind. It’s okay to be thick-skinned. Being more proactive can help you get opportunities faster.

"I'll go to Jingjing's house this afternoon."

Xia Yingying made up her mind.

She immediately called Jixiang and asked her to tell Mr. Lin to deliver the visiting card.

"I want you to go to Uncle Lin and ask him to prepare a letter for Jingjing's mother. I will visit him later in the day, so ask him to send someone to inform him in advance."

"Yes, ma'am." Jixiang responded and went out.

After receiving Xia Yingying's instructions, Mr. Lin immediately went to prepare the visiting card.

After writing the visiting card and showing it to Xia Yingying, Uncle Lin quickly delivered the card to Jingjing's home.

Xia Yingying regretted that she had removed her makeup and changed her clothes too quickly.

Now I have to spend time to make it. Although it looks good, it is a waste of time.

But here we have to obey the rules.

"Ping An, come and help me with my makeup."

Xia Yingying did not change into the dress she had just worn before going out, but changed into a clean dress.

Xia Yingying changed into a pink dress.

The jewelry was the spoils collected by Lu Ziren, a set of jewelry with pink gemstones.

Generally, gemstones make people look old-fashioned, but when Xia Yingying puts them on, she looks as beautiful as a peach blossom, dignified and lovely.

Because Xia Yingying was in a hurry to go out to do something, she did not ask Ping An to help her comb a more complicated bun. She just asked her to comb a simpler bun that matched the outfit.

Ping An knew that Xia Yingying was in a hurry this time, so his hands were faster than usual and he quickly helped Xia Yingying take care of it.

Xia Yingying looked through the mirror and saw that she felt different now than before, but still as beautiful as before.

Xia Yingying was narcissistic for a while, but without staying any longer, she took the paper and went out.

Jingjing's mother, Wang, received the visiting card sent by Uncle Lin.

Jingjing's mother, Wang, was walking with Jingjing in the garden.

After Jingjing returned home, she was in the same state as before she left, except that she was even more silent now. "Please vote"
