Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

The Xu family came to an end. After Su Yi came out of Xiao Mansion, he went to Xuyang Pavilion to help.

"I've met my aunt and cousin." As soon as Su Yi arrived at Xuyang Pavilion, he saw Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Sun standing in front of the cabinet sorting out the ledgers.

"Su Yi, why are you here? Aren't you Xiu Mu today?" Mrs. Shi asked curiously. Because her husband and son are both officials in the court, Xiu Mu will stay at home these two days.

"Auntie, after all, I have two days of rest every month, but you and Shu'er are getting better and better day after day, and you don't even have time to rest. I came to the store to help you while I was off. Where is Shu'er?" Su Yi simply explained the purpose of coming.

Mrs. Shi smiled and said:

"Good boy, Shu'er is teaching Xi'er and several relatives of the Chen family how to make snacks in the back hall. She plans to take charge of looking after the store after they all learn how to do it. Shu'er, I, your cousin, and I will come to the store every ten days for a month. Responsible for collecting cash and checking the ledger."

"That's right! Shu'er came up with this idea. Otherwise, my mother and I would come to the store every day, and no one would be able to take care of the family. Both the family and the store would be in trouble." Mrs. Sun also smiled at her. Su Yi said that since he and Lin Shu opened the dim sum shop together, the monthly dividends have been several times higher than that of his previous dowry shop.

"Aunt, cousin, I'll go in and see Shu'er first, and then come out later to see if there's anything I can do to help." Su Yi greeted politely and headed towards the back hall.

Su Yi saw Lin Shu teaching Xi'er, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen's younger brothers and sisters to work seriously. She watched in silence for a while without disturbing them, and went straight out to help look after the store.

A few people in the back hall brought out the prepared snacks, and soon the stalls were set up in the store, and the door was opened to officially start a new day of selling.

Lin Shu came out and found Su Yi. At this time, Su Yi was introducing snacks to a lady. She didn't know what she said, but the lady bought several bags of different snacks with a wave of her hand.

After there was no one around Su Yi, Lin Shu walked to Su Yi and said to Su Yi:

"Husband, didn't you go to the Duke's Mansion to return the things? Are you back so soon? Have you returned them to others?"

"I gave it back to Duke Xiao. They used two identical gift boxes to put a jade Ruyi and a ruby ​​noodle. But when Xiao Guogong went out in a hurry, he took the wrong ones. Xiao Guogong also asked me to put the jade Ruyi in our carriage and let me bring it back. I really have no excuse." Su Yi explained with a helpless expression.

"That's all, just give me your head and face. Why don't you go back and have a good rest? You have to go on errands again tomorrow." Lin Shu asked with concern.

Su Yi put his hands on Lin Shu's shoulders and pushed Lin Shu to the back hall. There was a room in the back hall where she could rest.

"It's your rest if you want to rest. You cooked all day yesterday, and you haven't had a day off since Xuyang Pavilion opened. You go to the back hall to rest, and leave the business in the store to me." Su Yi said in a non-committal tone. As he spoke, he pushed Lin Shu into the back hall.

"Husband, I'm not tired. There are many things in the store that still need my guidance, especially Xi'er. I have to give her some guidance. From now on, she will be the one who comes to work in our house every day."

"Didn't she just look after the store with her aunts yesterday without you? Just rest, I'll call you later."

In the end, Lin Shu couldn't defeat Su Yi. She didn't rest when she went to the back hall, but did some trivial chores first, such as cleaning up the pots and pans.

The business of Xuyang Pavilion is still good. Many people passing by come in to drink porridge. The second floor of Xuyang Pavilion is a place where guests can rest, drink porridge and eat snacks.

The weather is hot, and many customers passing by will come in and order cold porridge, including millet porridge, lotus seed porridge, minced meat porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc., with various flavors.

The snacks sold are all cool and refreshing, and they also sell some cold dishes, including cold cucumbers, cold fungus, sour bamboo shoot tips, sour beans, etc.

At the hottest time at noon, the tables on the second floor were all full, and there were many people sharing tables. There were five compartments. In the compartments were some affluent people, and outside the compartments were some ordinary people.

Sister-in-law Chen's brother and sister were running upstairs and downstairs, serving porridge and vegetables to the guests.

Xi'er was responsible for serving porridge and plating snacks downstairs. Finally, she put the porridge and snacks on the tray and was carried upstairs by Mrs. Chen's younger brothers and sisters.

Because she was too busy, Mrs. Shi was left at the counter to cashier, and Ms. Sun also joined the queue to receive customers.

Lin Shu opened the curtain and quietly took a look into the store. She found that there were too many people and they couldn't handle it, so she ignored Su Yi's arrangement and came out to receive the guests like Sun.

Leisure Palace.

"Mother, my father and I happen to be at home today. Why don't we tell our father to go out and play!" Long Yuqi said after finishing his homework, rocking Shi Ying who was lying on the recliner.

Ever since Long Yuqi took Shi Ying out to play secretly and was beaten, he knew that the two of them made mistakes and he was the only one who was punished, so he didn't dare to take Shi Ying out alone later.

"But I'm in the study, can he let us go out to play?" Shi Ying couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the last time King Xian punished herself "hardly" when she secretly went out to play last time.

(Explanation, Lin Shu calls Su Yihujun, and Prince Xian is the prince and is ten years older than Shi Ying, so Shi Ying calls Prince Xian 'Master')

"Mother and concubine, it's okay. You go tell your father and he will definitely agree." Long Yuqi also discovered the pattern. No matter what he was doing, he went to King Xian and said it was useless. Shi Ying talked to King Xian for a while. I agreed, but Shi Ying, a little confused person, was afraid of King Xian in her heart, so she didn't notice.

"Then let me give it a try?" Shi Ying said unconfidently.

After a while, Shi Ying and Long Yuqi came to the study, with Long Yuqi walking in front.

"I have met my father. My father, my concubine and I want to go out to play."

King Xian looked up calmly and found that Long Yuqi was the only one. He silently lowered his head and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the chopping board.

"No way!" King Xian spat out these two words.

"My mother wants to go too. If you don't believe me, ask my mother." Long Yuqi glanced back and found that Shi Ying was not behind him.

King Xian looked up again, but still didn't see Shi Ying, and ignored Long Yuqi with a cold face.

Long Yuqi walked out of the door and found Shi Ying hiding outside, so he dragged her in.

"Qi'er, no, your father said not to let you go."

At this time, Shi Ying had appeared in front of King Xian. King Xian changed his attitude and looked at Shi Ying with a smile on his face.

"Sir, I want to go out and play." Seeing that Long Yuqi had pulled her to King Xian, Shi Ying said it bravely.

"Okay, Achang, go prepare the carriage."

"Oh yes! Concubine, you are great." Long Yuqi was so happy that he jumped up holding Shi Ying's sleeves, and then the three of them left Prince Xian's Mansion in a carriage.

After an hour passed in Xuyang Pavilion, the number of guests began to decrease. Lin Shu and others took turns going to the back hall to drink tea or cold porridge to rest.

When Su Yi took the cold porridge poured by Lin Shu, Lin Shu wiped the sweat on Su Yi's forehead with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Shi looked at this warm scene and felt happy for Lin Shu.
