The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

This is the first snow this winter. It seems that it has been falling for a while. The ground and the roof are covered with a layer of white, and the small snowflakes are falling. It is very beautiful with the blue bricks and black tiles.

Xiao Zhong at the side saw him getting up and walking to the door, fearing that he would be cold, so he hurried to the room to get a cloak and put it on him.

"Looking at it like this, I'm afraid the snow is about to fall heavily," Jiang Ziyan said.

Watching the falling snowflakes getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Zhong replied, "Yes, it's already this time, and it should fall until night. When I get up early tomorrow, maybe the roof is already covered with thick snowflakes." It's snowing."

Jiang Ziyan nodded, "Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year, it's a good intention."

Seeing that he was still standing by the door without moving, Xiao Zhong reminded: "My lord, it's cold by the door, let's go back and sit inside."

Jiang Ziyan turned back to the house, but suddenly realized that his father hadn't come back yet, so he called the housekeeper over and asked, "Did my father say when he would come back? I'm afraid the snow will fall heavily soon, and there will be snow on the way back." Won't it be hard to go?"

The housekeeper comforted: "Young master, don't worry, the master has explained that he should be back after some calculation."

Jiang Ziyan got the letter and turned back to the house.

On the table next to the small couch, there was still a book he hadn't finished reading. When it snowed and the weather became colder, even if there was a charcoal fire, he didn't bother to use it.

It was similar to what the butler said, and Jiang Yuan came back after a while.He went there on a horse, and now he came back on a horse, with a layer of white snowflakes on his body.

It was the same with the letter on the side, both of them had a lot of snow on their bodies.

The butler hurried forward to help Jiang Yuan take off his coat, shook the snow on it, and hung it on the screen.

Jiang Yuan asked, "What is Ziyan doing now?"

The housekeeper replied: "I took a nap in the afternoon, and I have been awake for a while now, and I am reading a book in the room."

"The wild rabbit I brought back just now, I told the kitchen to make braised rabbit meat, and the pheasant, let's make soup, it will be warmer after drinking."

The hares and pheasants were when he came back and saw someone selling fresh game on the side of the road. It was snowing heavily outside, but they were still setting up stalls on the side of the road.Jiang Yuan thought of his son at home, so he bought both pheasants and hares.

"Yes, master. The old slave will go down and give instructions to the kitchen." The butler said.

Jiang Ziyan was also very satisfied with this dinner. The cooking skills in the kitchen were not bad. Although there were few seasonings, there were quite a lot of tricks.

After eating, it was already dark, Jiang Ziyan saw that Jiang Yuan had been busy all day, so he told him to go to rest quickly, and the two went back to their respective rooms.

It was the first time for Jiang Ziyan to live in this room. Jiang Yuan was not a wealthy person, but the room was well furnished, and he used almost all the good things he could get.

Although the pillow is not a gold silk pillow, it is also very soft and comfortable, as well as the quilt, as if it had been grilled by a charcoal stove in advance, it is a bit warm, but it does not smell like a charcoal stove, but has a delicate fragrance .

Jiang Ziyan lay comfortably on the bed, smelling the fragrance of the bed, and felt that it was the first time he felt the taste of father's love so close.

In addition to confessing to Jiang Yuan about the matter between himself and Lin Zhao during the day, he couldn't help getting closer to this father in his heart.

He got up very early the next day. As expected, it snowed all night yesterday. When he got up in the morning, the yard and the eaves were covered with thick snow, and there were long ice edges hanging down from the eaves, which looked white. clear.

After breakfast, Jiang Ziyan bid farewell to Jiang Yuan and went home.

Although Jiang Yuan also wanted his son to stay longer, but this matter should not be rushed, it had to be done slowly, yesterday was a good start.

After returning from Jiang Yuan's place, the first thing Jiang Ziyan did when he returned home was to ask about Feng Ke's situation.

As a result, Wei Nan told him that Feng Ke hadn't come back yet.

Jiang Ziyan thought for a while, Feng Ke probably will go out for several months this time, so he might as well just leave him alone and arrange the business matters first.

The tailor shop didn't know how it was preparing, so he planned to go and have a look in the afternoon.

In the morning, he drew blueprints and wrote down his plans for the near future, and the whole morning passed like this.

In the morning, he went to the tailor shop.

Last time, he said that he would make rectification, including the decoration and furnishings in the shop, and asked the shopkeeper to recruit two more assistants.

I don't know if the shopkeeper was stimulated last time, but the efficiency of this rectification is surprisingly high. It's only been a few days, and the shop has looked good.

The ready-to-wear store is still closed, and there is a sign under renovation hanging on the door.

Jiang Ziyan walked in and saw several craftsmen moving clothes hangers and some benches into the lobby.

These benches were also customized by Jiang Ziyan according to special requirements. There was no backrest. The benches were covered with a thick layer of cotton cloth, and cotton was stuffed under the cotton cloth. It was soft and comfortable to sit on.

Seeing Jiang Ziyan coming in, the shopkeeper rushed over to greet him, and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, you are here, and they are being arranged according to your instructions. These benches were made urgently, and they were shipped in today."

After Jiang Ziyan walked in, he took a look, sat down for a while, and thought it was okay.

He looked at other places in the lobby. According to his request, special short poles were nailed to the facade wall, and these were used to hang new clothes.

There are also hangers, which he also drew and asked people to follow suit. He looked at the pile of hangers on the ground next to him, which seemed to have just been shipped and hadn't been used yet.

"Well, you've done a good job. I'll try to finish it in these two days, and I will give you worker training in the remaining two days." After finishing speaking, he looked at shopkeeper Chen, "Let you recruit two more employees, have you found them yet?" ?”

Shopkeeper Chen quickly replied: "I've found everything, and I've come here. The shop has been busy these two days, and there is a shortage of manpower, so let them come first."

Jiang Ziyan looked around and counted the number of people who looked like buddies, and there were indeed five.

He nodded and said, "Okay, it's doing well. You can watch here first, and I'll go to the back to see how the clothes of the three masters are doing."

Being praised suddenly, shopkeeper Chen was still a little dazed. When Jiang Ziyan turned around and went to the backyard, he realized that he had been praised by his boss just now.

Jiang Ziyan reached the backyard, where three masters were sewing clothes with needles and threads.

After all, it is needlework. I have been doing this for a long time, and my eyes are not good. Two of the three masters have bad eyesight.

No way, if you don't cut and sew clothes in the tailoring industry, you basically can't make much money.Unqualified eyes are good, but the skills are not as good as those with qualifications.Those who have qualifications have skills, but after a long time, they are prone to occupational diseases and their eyesight is not good.So you can't have it both ways.

When Jiang Ziyan came in, he walked very lightly, so as not to disturb them.As a result, the three masters were so focused on their work that he stood there for several minutes, but no one noticed him coming.

Jiang Ziyan had to clenched his empty fist and coughed twice. Hearing the sound, they turned their heads and saw Jiang Ziyan coming.

Seeing the boss coming, the three of them put down their work one after another, got up and greeted Jiang Ziyan.

Jiang Ziyan waved his hand, motioned them to sit down, and said, "I'm just here today to check on the progress, so don't be nervous. The seven days are not up yet, and you still have time to take your time."

Master Liang on the far left said: "It's okay, since the master is here today, it's a good time to take a look. Mrs. Cao's dress is ready."

Jiang Ziyan was very surprised when he heard that Mrs. Cao's dress was ready, "So fast? Then what are you doing now?"

"You gave three styles at the time, and now we have made one, plus Mrs. Cao's, so there are two pieces in total. Now we are making the remaining two styles of clothes."

Jiang Ziyan was amazed at how fast they cut and sewed the clothes, his face was dark, but he was very happy, and said: "It's just right, you stop what you are doing first, and go and show me the clothes."

In fact, the three masters made the clothes so quickly. In fact, they stayed up late at night with the lights on. First, they were afraid that they would not be able to complete them in a short period of time. Make improvements in one go.But they also want to show their owners what they can do and what they can do.

After all, Jiang Ziyan said in front of everyone a few days ago that if they make more clothes, they will get more wages at the end of the month.

It's his own... performance.

Yes, it's performance. The performance that the boss said, from their understanding, probably means extra rewards.The more you do, the more you will be rewarded.

And when it comes to such a sensitive matter as shop rectification, they are also afraid that if they can't do well, if the boss doesn't like it, it won't be good to fire them at that time.

Although master tailors these days don't have to worry about finding a boss to work for, or opening a small tailor shop to sew and mend, but they are still not as comfortable as staying in the current shop.

And after working in one place for a long time, I don't want to move anymore.What's more, the boss also promised to give them a wage increase. In their view, this so-called performance is a disguised wage increase.

How could they not work hard under such conditions?

The dress that was finished not long ago was brought. Jiang Ziyan had drawn the style of the dress, but he didn't paint it because he couldn't find the right paint.

The clothes that are made today are largely based on the color matching made by the master craftsmen according to the preferences of the guests.

He was a little surprised when the clothes were taken out and placed upright in front of him.

Because the material and color of this dress are very bold, needless to say for the inner lining, the middle layer is made of a somewhat yellowish cyan material. The cloth of this color is the color that Jiang Ziyan asked the dyeing room to mix later. There are not too many clothes.

Because the cyan color may look old-fashioned, but adding bright yellow to it, the color is much brighter.

The cuffs are embroidered with a circle of cloud patterns with golden thread, and there is a small half of the cuffs that are made of laminated layers. On the laminated layers, a black velvet flower is embroidered. The blue and yellow look bright, and the black velvet flower looks dignified and old-fashioned. The collar of the outer coat is even more cyan, with only one orchid embroidered on it, which instantly makes the whole dress elegant.

It has to be said that these three master craftsmen not only do a good job in tailoring clothes, but also have nothing to say about embroidery.

The pattern on this dress was drawn by Jiang Ziyan, but unexpectedly, they all embroidered it according to the pattern.

And the bottom of the skirt is also in blue tones, like a blue gradient, and there is a circle of lotus flowers at the corner of the skirt. If you walk, you will surely grow lotuses every step of the way.

The more Jiang Ziyan looked at the dress, the more satisfied he became.

It's just that this dress is not a winter coat style, that is to say, it can't be worn right now.Now it has just entered December, and it only snowed yesterday, so the weather is very cold.

This dress is a little thinner, with only a thin layer of cotton inside, which is just right for spring.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cao didn't specify to make winter clothes at that time, otherwise the clothes would definitely not be made.

After reading this one, Jiang Ziyan started to look at the second one.

It took the three master craftsmen several days to make a total of two pieces of clothing.

The first one didn't disappoint him, and the second one should be pretty good too.

After taking down the dress just now, the second dress was brought up.

The whole dress was picked up and stood in front of Jiang Ziyan, which was also a spring dress.

Because these styles drawn by Jiang Ziyan are not suitable for winter clothes. If they are made into something, they will be thicker, and the styles will look bloated, which is not good-looking.

Winter is over half now, and it will be the end of the year in one month.The New Year is the beginning of spring, and by that time, clothes will definitely not worry about selling.

This second dress is much more elegant than the first one. The top is white, and the bottom is pink, but the embroidery on the white is very particular, with two blue butterflies embroidered on the waist, and a few pieces There are blue leaves, green willow leaves on the shoulders, and a few small orange flowers in the middle.

Willow leaves of the same style were embroidered on the skirt of the bottom jacket. The top was tied tightly around the waist, and the slanted front collar looked a bit wide. There was obviously another layer of pink undershirt inside.

The outer white is set on the inner pink, revealing the pink collar, and there is a long tie around the waist tied into a bow on both sides of the front of the skirt, and a thin layer of gauze is also covered outside, like The light gauze that Jiang Ziyan used to make mosquito nets before.

The pink is delicate, this style looks elegant and clean, and it is also suitable for cute girls aged fourteen or fifteen.

I have to say that the three masters did a good job in this style.It's just that the three of them are best at tailoring and measuring clothes after all, and they are not very proficient in embroidery.

Compared with the work of a real professional embroiderer, it is still a little bit worse.

But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the style is very good. Even if the embroidery on the clothes is not so detailed, it is enough to show it as a sample.

Jiang Ziyan praised: "The three masters have worked hard, and the two clothes are well made. You need to take care of the rest. I will give you an extra [-]% wage increase at the end of the month."

The three masters were very happy when they heard that they had been given a wage increase. Why did they work so hard?Isn't it just to make more money!

So the three of them thanked very excitedly: "Thank you, my boss!"

Seeing the blue-gray under their eyes, Jiang Ziyan knew that it was probably because they should have stayed up late these days.

So he said: "Masters, don't be too tired, pay more attention to moving your eyes."

"Hey, boss, we remember."

Then he went to the front and told shopkeeper Chen, "After the masters have finished the sample clothes, you can hang all the clothes on the wall as a sample display. And wipe all the walls clean so that the clothes don't get dirty." gone."

Butler Chen hurriedly wrote down what he said, and nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I wrote it down."

"These standing clothes hangers are all done. Remember to clean the inside and outside of the house before hanging the clothes. In addition to the new clothes made by the masters this time, the old styles are also hung up first. Also, From the day it closes, it will reopen seven days later."

"Okay, make sure it's done."

Jiang Ziyan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Go and find two, no, three, find three good embroiderers. Same as the three masters."

Before the shop reopened, the owner was recruiting again. Even if shopkeeper Chen was not happy, he had no position to refute.

What can I do, I can only follow through.

Jiang Ziyan recruited a few embroiderers, mainly to reduce the workload of the three masters, let them focus on tailoring the clothes wholeheartedly, and hand over all the embroidery work to the embroiderers. Embroidered patterns are also good.

It was still early when I came out of the clothing store. It only snowed yesterday, and the snow on the road has almost been shoveled today.

Only the snow on the tiles of the house slowly melted into snow water, which flowed down from the eaves bit by bit, tick-tock, like the sound of joyful music.

The tailor shop is very close to Prince Rong's Mansion, only one street away, so after thinking about it, I decided to go and have a look.

The old prince was playing mahjong when he was there last time, so he had no time to pay attention to him.If there are no accidents, he may return to Lin'an in two or three days, so let's come and see before he leaves.

Jiang Ziyan is now going to Rong Wang's Mansion, and it is very convenient to come and go.

Because he lived here for a period of time before, almost everyone in the palace recognized him from the housekeeper to the concierge.

However, he usually does not go through the main entrance, because the main entrance has to go around a long way to pass, so it is better to be closer to the back entrance.

He went to the back door familiarly, raised his nose and knocked on the door.The porter opened the door and saw that it was him, and quickly welcomed him in.

When I went today, the old prince was finally not playing mahjong. He received a post from Jiang Yuan, but this post was not to invite him, but said that he would come to visit him in a few days.

It was the first time for Old Prince Rong to come across someone who came to visit someone like this, and he had to post a post in advance, but because the person who posted him was his future in-laws, although he felt strange, he didn't say anything.

It happened that Jiang Ziyan came over right now, and the moment he saw Jiang Ziyan, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Will the future in-laws object to these two children and come to persuade him to give up this marriage?

So after Jiang Ziyan came over, the two of them talked for a while, and then the old prince asked sideways: "Ziyan, Zhaoer, have you talked to your father about the two of you?"

Jiang Ziyan suddenly felt ashamed when he heard the words, and he said awkwardly: "Say, I said it." I just said it yesterday.

"Then how did your father react?"

"My dad...is the reaction okay?"

Jiang Ziyan thought about it carefully, and his father seemed to accept the fact that he and Lin Zhao were together without much persuasion.And his father seems to care more about the person he likes is Lin Zhao.

For a moment, the old prince Rong was a little uncertain whether "reaction is okay" was in favor or against.

"Then what did your father say? Is it against or in favor?"

"My father...should have no objection."

I can't say I agree, it just seems that I am not very satisfied with his mate who is in love with each other.It's just because he likes it and has no objection.

Hearing this, the old prince probably had a solid idea in his mind. Since the other party did not object to the two children being together, he would come to visit in a few days, most likely to discuss marriage.That being the case, he had to make preparations in advance to make a good impression on his future in-laws.

At this time, Jiang Yuan didn't know that he intended to go to Rongwang's mansion to apologize for his son's kidnapping of Du Miaomiao, but he was misunderstood as going to discuss marriage.

Lord Rong said again: "You and Zhao'er are not too young, when are you going to get married?"

Jiang Ziyan didn't expect that he would be urged to marry when he came here today.

He smiled and said no rush.

The two talked for a while, and mentioned the tailor-made clothing store he was working on. The old prince knew that he would return to Lin'an in a few days, so he said simply: "Don't worry, I will let the housekeeper keep an eye on the store. Make sure nothing happens."

In the evening, Jiang Ziyan was left for dinner again, and then Jiang Ziyan returned home under the moonlight.

Jiang Ziyan reckoned that this time was about seven o'clock in his previous life.

It's the twelfth lunar month, it's getting dark early, there are reflections from the snow on the eaves along the way, and there are lanterns hanging under the eaves of every house, which is quite bright.

He came back this way, and it was all about eating and exercising.

When he got home at about eight o'clock, he probably walked this way for more than an hour.

As a result, there was a knock on the door as soon as he entered the room. He didn't even have time to take off the cloak on his body, so he went to open the door.

The one who knocked on their door at this hour was probably Feng Ke who disappeared two days ago.

Opening the door and looking, as expected, the person standing at the door was Feng Ke.

After disappearing for two days, he finally came back.

As a result, Feng Ke said in the first sentence when they met, "Mr. Lang, can I ask you to take in another person?"

Jiang Ziyan was taken aback. Looking at Feng Ke like this, he should have only come back tonight. As soon as he came back, he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he knocked on his door and said that he was asking him to take in someone. How could he not let him know? He surprised?

He turned sideways and said, "Go into the room and talk."

Feng Ke didn't sit down after entering the room, but kept watching Jiang Ziyan's expression, as if he was afraid of being rejected, so he kept looking at him.

"Let's sit down first. You just came back, right? Have a sip of tea first to warm up your body."

Jiang Ziyan took hot water from the kettle hanging from the charcoal stove, poured a cup of tea, put it on the table, and pushed it to his hand.Then he took off the cloak on his body, turned around and took a coat and put it on.

Feng Ke picked up the water cup at hand and held it in his hand. He didn't feel the hot tea at all, but felt the warmth in the palm of his hand, and the heat from it penetrated all the way to the soles of his feet.

Jiang Ziyan sat down and asked: "Tell me, who do you want me to take in? You have to explain to me the background of this person first, before I can decide whether to take him in or not."

Feng Ke also knew that his request might be a little too much, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a more suitable place.

He said: "His name is Zhuo Feng, he is the one I told you about last time."

Now Jiang Ziyan was even more surprised, "The person you mentioned who made you feel sad is this Zhuo Feng?"

Feng Ke nodded, "Yes."

"So you went out two days ago to find him?"

"Well, I searched for him for two days and finally found him. It's just that he was injured all over his body because he saved me before. I, I don't worry, he has nowhere to go now, I... I will take him came back."

Looking at Feng Ke's expression, Jiang Ziyan knew what kind of worry it was, it was obviously distressing.

"Where was he hunted down? Does the enemy know that you are here?"

Feng Ke replied: "The wounded in Lin'an, those people should still be in Lin'an. There should be no one following him on the way when I brought him back. It's just that I can't think of any safe place now, so I brought him back."

Out of trust in Feng Ke, Jiang Ziyan didn't ask carefully about their being hunted down. What he asked was about personal situations.

For example, "Feng Ke, what is his attitude towards you now?"

Feng Ke remembered that when he was dragged back all the way, although the other party was very reluctant, they finally did not drive him away.

He said, "It's okay."

After all, it seemed that he was afraid that Jiang Ziyan would refuse to take Zhuo Feng in, and he said: "He is also very good at martial arts, if Mr. Lang takes him in, the two of us will be on assignment in the future."

Feng Ke actually had a lot of considerations in wanting Jiang Ziyan to take Zhuo Feng in. He knew that Jiang Ziyan had a close relationship with the Rong Palace. Among the people he knew, if something happened to them, only Jiang Ziyan was more capable of keeping them.

Only by saving your life first can you think about revenge in the future.

Jiang Ziyan thought for a while, and out of his friendship with Feng Ke, he didn't ask any more questions, and said, "Okay, let him stay temporarily. The room next door to yours is still empty, so let him live there."

The right and left should not be some heinous people. With Feng Ke around, he doesn't need to worry about it.

Hearing that Jiang Ziyan agreed, Feng Ke was very happy, and the gratitude in his eyes was overflowing.

"Thank you, sir." Thousands of words of thanks came to his lips, but only these four words remained.

Jiang Ziyan waved his hand to tell him not to be polite. Recently, he thought that he was leaving the capital soon, and told him, "I'm going to Lin'an in two days. Housekeeper Wei will take care of the family affairs. I'm very relieved. Let him stay honestly." At home, don't go out for a while, let's talk about recovering from the injury."

Feng Ke nodded and said, "Yes."

It is relatively convenient for Feng Ke to go out. When she met the assassin before, she covered her face the whole time, and no one saw what he looked like.

But Zhuo Feng was different, those people had seen his face, even if he wanted to go out, Feng Ke would not let him go out.

After getting Jiang Ziyan's approval, Feng Ke settled Zhuo Feng down with peace of mind.

It's just that suddenly there is such an injured person in the room, and everyone needs to be taken care of.

Feng Ke didn't want more people to know about Zhuo Feng, so he took care of him personally.

After returning to his room, Feng Ke looked at the gauze wrapped around the wound on his body, a lot of blood had already seeped from it.

After he came back, he bandaged him briefly, and happened to wait for Jiang Ziyan to come back, so he hurried to find Jiang Ziyan.

It didn't take long for the meeting, and the blood on the wound began to flow out again.

The author has something to say:
