My son sleeps lightly

Xiao Chong helped Ye Lan with everything, and then went out with Ye Xi.

They didn't take a carriage, Ye Xi insisted.

Mrs. Ye was a little worried at first, but seeing that Xiao Chong was following, she stopped nagging.

Ye Xi seldom went out alone like this, he was curious everywhere, picked up small items from street vendors and put them in his arms, Xiao Chong followed behind to pay the bill, luckily the butler stuffed him with a lot of copper coins when he went out, Otherwise, it's really not enough for Miss to squander.

"Hey," Ye Xi raised his head to look at Xiao Chong, "What do you think the guys in the blacksmith shop are like?"

Xiao Chong thought for a while, raised his arm, and patted his forearm with the other hand, "It's very strong."

Ye Xi breathed out, nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Chong could see that she was nervous.

Miss Su's family is in charge of the silk business, and her daughter's family knows it very well, but what Ye Xi wants to see is the blacksmith's shop, an area she doesn't understand at all.

Especially Ye Xi was raised in a deep boudoir, and he had never seen many men, and the family members were all gentle and gentle, so he must be afraid.

However, Ye Lan also secretly told herself that Ye Xi is just following the trend. If she really wants to let her see that it is not easy to do business, she should retreat soon.

Another task of Xiao Chong is to give Ye Xi a step when she is about to retreat, so as not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

But these are all overthinking, when they arrive at the ironware shop, not to mention Ye Xi, even Xiao Chong wants to leave.

The Ye family's ironware is well-known in the entire northern region, and there are many branches. The one they came to is the closest to the Ye family. It is not comparable to the main store, and the scale can only be considered moderate.

Ye Jin'an arranged for Ye Xi to come here with great consideration. Although the store is not big, the division of labor is clear. The front yard is used for buying and selling, and the back yard is where ironware is made.Ye Xi can understand all the links of an iron shop at once. Although he never thought about letting his daughter participate in the family business, it is not a bad thing for her to know more about it.

As soon as they entered the door, the old shopkeeper rushed over to welcome them, "Miss."

Ye Xi gave him a blessing, "The shopkeeper."

Xiao Chong really wanted to drag Ye Lan to enjoy this scene together, how could they see such a generous and sensible Ye Xi at home.

Maybe it's about the wife of the Ye family, Ye Lan often talks to Xiao Chong, and always feels that all the women in Ye's mansion are extremely arrogant, from the master to the maidservant, yes, Taohua, it's you!

Usually at this time, Taohua would stare at Ye Lan with cross eyebrows, "Do you still want to have lunch?!"

This small episode is played out in the Ye Mansion almost every day, but the women of the Ye family are very gracious when they go outside, this kind of contrast is quite interesting.

Xiao Chong saluted with Ye Xi.

The shopkeeper knew that the servants in this kind of mansion were not ordinary people, and some of them who waited close to him could not be exaggerated to say that they were half young masters, so he waved his hands repeatedly and showed them around.

Most of the ironware used by civilians are farm tools, which are very necessary. The ironware of the Ye family is sharp and durable, and it will be polished for free for customers, so it is very popular.

But you can't make a lot of money just making farm tools. The Ye family made a fortune in the first place because they contracted Luobeicheng's military weapons.

Two generations of weeping blood management have resulted in the wealth accumulated by the Ye family.

Xiao Chong looked at this small ironware shop and all kinds of ironware on the shop floor, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

Ye Xi also seemed to be a little touched, and said seriously, "Shopkeeper, can I have a look at the backyard?"

"That's not necessary," the shopkeeper hesitated, "Miss, you are dressed so neatly, it's not good to go to the back."

"I'll just take a look," Ye Xi became timid after hearing this, and then clenched his fists, "I want to see."

The shopkeeper bent his back, nodded, and made a gesture of invitation, leading Ye Xi and Xiao Chong to the backyard.

What a different world.

The backyard is twice as big as the storefront in front, and there are only two stoves for melting iron, which are red and bright.

Xiao Chong understood what the shopkeeper meant. There were at least seventeen or eight men standing here, all with their upper body bare. The protruding blue blood vessels on their arms and the swollen muscles on their necks all clamored that this was not a world that a girl should set foot in.

Ye Xi's own surprise was probably the same as that of the man who saw her coming in.

"Why are there still girls here?!" A big shirtless man stopped what he was doing and looked at the shopkeeper in puzzlement.

"This is Miss Ye's family, Ye Xi." The shopkeeper hurriedly explained.

These men do this kind of work every day. Although they are righteous, they have a very violent temper. Although the shopkeeper gets along with them day and night, he is still a little scared.

Ye Xi stared at them, feeling that it was a bit strange to salute at this time, after thinking about it, he spread his five fingers and shook them, "Hello, everyone."

Everyone stopped, and an awkward silence filled the air.

The men turned around several times with red eyes, and finally came to their senses, each of them curled up their necks, "Hi, miss."

Xiao Chong watched Ye Xi silently let go of his clenched fists, knowing that she was finally relieved, he also made a fist at everyone, "I am the servant of Ye Mansion, and my name is Xiao Chong."

The servants of Ye Mansion are familiar to everyone, some will come to help when there is not enough manpower, their attitude is polite, and they are serious in their work.

The clerks in the iron shop were all happy with Xiao Chong, and went back to their own affairs.

No one takes Ye Xi seriously, who can guess the temper of this kind of young lady, it's still reliable to do her own business.

Ye Xi's small figure was almost invisible among this group of tough guys, but Xiao Chong still watched her reaction carefully, and if he wanted to go home, he would immediately carry her away.

It was surprisingly hot here, Xiao Chong felt like he was about to sweat just standing on the sidelines, he looked at Ye Xi again, the latter had already taken out a small handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face.

Indeed, this is really not the place Ye Xi should come to.

But Ye Xi didn't flinch, and walked in small steps, wanting to look around at what everyone was doing.

She approached a man who was forging with a sledgehammer, and asked cautiously, "What are you doing?"

The man was kind, and he was genuinely curious, explaining to Ye Xi in a low voice.

From time to time, sparks would fly, and Ye Xi would shrink her neck. She was not afraid. Since these people were not afraid, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Chong looked at the sparks splashing on her skirt, and wanted to get close to Ye Xi to block it, but Ye Xi also shook his head, "It's okay, this dress is not expensive, remember to remind me tomorrow, wear something that won't hinder your work clothing."

"Work?" Xiao Chong could feel that his eyeballs were about to fall out.

"There must be someone to help." Ye Xi grinned.

"Then I'll just come." Xiao Chong said hastily, he didn't expect Ye Xi to come for real.

At this time, a young boy who had been staying by the boiler said, "Missy, just focus on the things ahead, and I'll do the rest. If you take my job, how can I support my family?" ah."

His playful words caused Ye Xi's face to blush, and everyone laughed too.

Xiao Chong also snorted and turned to the direction of the young man, unable to look away for a moment.

This boy looked a few years younger than himself, with dark skin, delicate appearance, and clear eyes, but this is not the point, Xiao Chong stared closely at the birthmark on his forearm.

When Xiao Chong was three years old, he was just sensible, and knew that the crying baby was his younger brother, so he put his feet on the ground, lay on the cradle, and reached out to touch his little hand, "Mother, what is it on my brother's arm?" ?”

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao came over and said softly, "This is called a birthmark, and your brother was born with it."

"Like a wolf head, the one on daddy, does it look like it?" Xiao Chong pointed to his mother with a smile.

"Coincidentally," Xiao said pleasantly, "If you don't tell me, I really didn't see it. Looking at it this way, it looks very similar."
