Chapter 62
After saying that, Chen Jiao no longer had the courage to face Ho Ying and turned around and ran away.
Ho Ying stood stupidly in front of the screen wall.
She, why did she ask Brother Lin to change his words to call him uncle?
Ho Ying couldn't figure it out.
Chen Jiao ran into the room and closed the door with her backhand. Then she leaned against the door panel and covered her face with both hands. It was so hot.
Chen Jiao never thought that she would have such a bold day. She first took the initiative to keep Ho Ying in the same house with her, and then she said twice and said something. Will Ho Ying understand?
"Mom, have you finished talking to Brother Ying?" Brother Lin walked out of the inner room and asked, rubbing his eyes. He was sleepy and wanted his mother to coax her to bed.
Chen Jiao looked at her son diagonally opposite her, and took the boy to the inner room.
Without a wet nurse, Brother Lin will sleep with Chen Jiao for the time being.
Chen Jiao lay on her side, holding Brother Lin's fat hand and said, "Brother Lin, starting tomorrow, you have to call Ho Ying Uncle, do you know? Ho Ying is Uncle Hu, and Zhao Hu is Uncle Zhao."
Brother Lin asked blankly: "Why?"
Chen Jiao smiled and explained: "Because they are both older than Mother. If you are a match for their brothers, they will have to call Mother Aunt? Brother Lin thinks Mother is that old? You have to ask Ho Ying to call me Aunt?"
Brother Lin actually didn't understand it very much, but her mother's tone seemed to be a funny thing. Brother Lin laughed and shook her head and refused: "Mom is not old, Brother Ying can't call you aunt."
Chen Jiao pinched the boy's nose and snorted: "Don't call him Brother Ying anymore, Uncle Huo."
Brother Lin was very obedient and learned to say, "Uncle Hu, call Zhao Hu Uncle Zhao."
Chen Jiao kissed the boy's face with reward.
Brother Lin fell asleep with satisfaction.
Chen Jiao lay beside her son, thinking about her acquaintance with Ho Ying, and her heart was sweet.
The next morning, Chen Jiao was still dressing up in the house. Brother Lin, who didn't need to dress up, ran to the yard to play. Seeing Ho Ying coming out of a room where she fell, Brother Lin happily ran to him: "Ying..." and shouted a word. The boy suddenly remembered his mother's advice last night, and then changed his mouth with a smile: "Uncle Huo!"
Ho Ying was inexplicably worried. Chen Jiao said that Brother Lin would change his words, but he didn't feel anything. Now that he heard Brother Lin call him uncle, Ho Ying suddenly reacted. If this is the case, wouldn't he and Chen Jiao be of the same age?
"Madam, you stayed with me?"
"She has cried for you, don't be too stupid, let the beauty down."
Zhao Hu's two words rang in his ears without warning.
Ho Ying looked at the window of the upper room in disbelief. Could it be that she, she is really what Zhao Hu said? But how could she like him?
Ho Ying still couldn't accept this explanation.
"Brother Lin, why did you call me uncle?" Ho Ying squatted down and asked Brother Lin secretly.
Brother Lin said clearly: "Mom said you and Zhao Hu are older than her, and she doesn't want you to call her aunt."
Ho Ying suddenly realized, and he said, how could she suddenly like him? Now, Brother Lin not only calls him uncle, but Zhao Hu also calls him uncle.
Since she doesn't want to be called old, Ho Ying decided to respect her meaning, so she will be the uncle.
"Uncle Huo, teach me kung fu." Brother Lin pestered him and acted coquettishly.
Ho Ying taught Brother Lin to squat for a while before eating, so it would not get in the way.
Chen Jiao dressed up and saw Brother Lin moving her left leg out under Ho Ying's guidance, and then raising her arm upward, very seriously.
Chen Jiao's eyes gradually fell on Ho Ying. He was still wearing the coarse cloth clothes on the dock yesterday, and the people were also tanned a lot.
Chen Jiao had an idea.
After breakfast, Ho Ying went out and went to the He family to discuss his lion business before going to Zhao Hu's house.
Chen Jiao took off a pair of jade bracelets on her wrist, a golden hairpin on her head, and a pair of jade earrings, called Jixiang, and took the pomegranate to a pawn shop. She was afraid that the two girls would lose their losses when they were eating the pawn shop. Chen Jiao told her that it would be best to be used as sixty taels for three jewelry, and not to be sold for 45 taels. After making money, Jixiang would then pull two pieces of coarse cloth. The two pieces of fine cloth were all the colors worn by men.
Chen Jiao is so cute that she will never wash clothes and cook by herself if she can do her work with a maid, but she can make clothes and jewelry.
Two maids took the order and left. They came back more than an hour later, and they had a total of fifty taels of jewelry.
The negotiations between Ho Ying at the He family were also very smooth. After He Jinrong asked Ho Ying to promise in black and white that he would not steal the He family's old customers, nor would he participate in the lion dance competition, he agreed to Ho Ying and Zhao Hu's request to start a lion shop.
Ho Ying went to Zhao Hu to discuss how to start a lion business. The two of them know how to do lion heads and tails, but most people usually ask people to dance lions, at least two lions have to be paired together. Moreover, there are not only lion dancers, but also people have to be beaten drums and drums. After the two discussed, they decided to recruit ten lion dancers first, teach them together, and after the business started, they took turns to work.
Ten men have a basic salary of five taels per month. They buy lion dance materials, gongs and drums, and more than a dozen men have two taels per month. After all, lion dance is a laborious job, and they have to eat at least one meal a day.
After scattered calculations, the twenty taels of Ho Ying and the five taels of Zhao Hu combined were very difficult, especially the recruited guys had to teach him for a month first, and he could start working in the second month, and most of the time the business was in the beginning of the business would be lost.
Zhao Hu was very optimistic and said generously: "There must be a way before people reach the mountain. Let's start working first!"
Ho Ying looked at him and smiled.
Both of them had some connections, and they spread the news of their recruitment through their acquaintances. While no one came to the door, Ho Ying and Zhao Hu rolled up their sleeves and cleaned up Zhao Hu's house. They were busy until dark, Ho Ying said goodbye. Halfway through the way, Ho Ying felt that someone was following him from afar. He stopped and stopped the other party. He turned back to catch the person, so the other party ran away.
Ho Ying had no choice but to ask someone to follow him. He guessed that the other party should be He Jinrong's person.
Ho Ying knocked on the door with great worries.
When Pomegranate came to open the door, he saw him, Pomegranate smiled and said, "Young master is back, the supper is ready, I'll wait for you."
Ho Ying was flattered, and walked around the screen wall and looked into the main hall. Chen Jiao and Brother Lin were both sitting inside.
Ho Ying forgot about being followed for the time being.
"If I come back late in the future, you can leave me a meal, and you don't have to wait for me." After sitting down, Ho Ying whispered.
Chen Jiao laughed: "There are only three people in total, so let's eat together."
The maids were preparing food, and Chen Jiao asked about the progress of Ho Ying-shi's ceremony.
Of course, Ho Ying reported good news but not bad news.
Chen Jiao listened quietly. After dinner, Chen Jiao asked Brother Lin to go to the yard to play. She took out thirty taels of silver and wanted to return it to Ho Ying.
Ho Ying's face sank and he refused to accept it.
Chen Jiao had prepared that he would refuse, so she suggested helplessly: "Then what? These thirty taels are the money I earn. If the Shifang makes money in the future, you will give me half of the dividends every year."
After moving out of the He family, Chen Jiao thought about how to make a living, but she was a divorced woman in the name of adultery. No matter what shop she opened, as long as others knew that the shop was run by her, the people would not go to business, and they would not smash the shop with rotten eggs and leaves. Chen Jiao would chant the Bodhisattva blessing.
So, Chen Jiao thought of a way to invest in Ho Ying-shi's store.
Ho Ying has the reputation of being the Lion King in Jiangcheng, and people are more likely to tolerate men. Chen Jiao believes that Ho Ying's Lion Guild will be as good as possible.
Ho Ying was indeed short of money, and Chen Jiao was very good at temptation, so he accepted the money.
"Are you anything else?"
Looking at the ground, Ho Ying asked in a low voice, only the two of them in the main room, and he always felt uncomfortable.
Chen Jiaoyou left the seat, she asked Ho Ying to stand up, then turned her back to her.
Ho Ying looked confused and turned around, looking at her with confusion.
Chen Jiao blushed when he saw her and lowered her eyes, "I also turned my head and didn't turn around."
Ho Ying was flustered by her blushing delicate face. She didn't say anything and didn't dare to look at her. She stood there stiffly, her whole body was nervous.
Chen Jiao walked behind him, took out a soft ruler to measure his size, and her fingers and soft ruler were pressed against Ho Ying's shoulders without being next to each other.
Ho Ying seemed to understand what she was going to do.
Chen Jiao also explained: "I want to make clothes for Brother Lin, and I will also make you a piece."
Ho Ying rolled his throat and said clumsyly: "No need to worry, there is a ready-to-wear shop outside, so it is not expensive."
After saying that, the man wanted to leave.
Chen Jiao's eyes were quick and fast, and her little hands grabbed the clothes behind him. How much strength could she have with a shy pull? But Ho Ying felt her blockade and instinctively stood up again. The strong body inside the clothes instantly showed a layer of sweat.
"Don't move." Chen Jiao angrily said in a low voice.
Ho Ying dared not move.
Both shoulders and arms were good. When measuring his waist, Chen Jiao blushed and took a step forward, and a small hand walked around Ho Ying.
Ho Ying held his breath and his face couldn't be tighter.
After measuring the waist, only legs are left.
Chen Jiao squatted down and was about to put the soft ruler on his legs, but Huo Ying could no longer bear it. He suddenly turned around and snatched the soft ruler from Chen Jiao's hand, avoided a few steps and measured his legs quickly. Then, while reporting the size to Chen Jiao, he rushed out of the main hall like running away.
Chen Jiao was still squatting. She was embarrassed, but seeing that Ho Ying was even more nervous than her, Chen Jiao smiled.
Chen Jiao slept very well that night.
But Ho Ying tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The intimate behavior of the little woman in the main room measuring her size was repeated in her mind again and again.
Yes, is it what he meant? Or is she just kind-hearted and seeing that he has no clothes and pity him?
Ho Ying turned over.
The next morning, Ho Ying deliberately got up early and told him not to make his meal. He would finish eating with Zhao Hu and come back in the evening, so he left in a hurry.
Chen Jiao knew that this man was thin-skinned and would not dare to see her in a short period of time.
Chen Jiao was not in a hurry and stayed in the room to make clothes for him. He hid and the clothes were ready, so she took the initiative to find him.
The two of them were all busy, and after following Ho Ying's servant for two days, they went to He Jinrong to return their lives.
"Second Master, I heard the Third Master's voice outside the wall. My wife must have lived there too."
He Jinrong clenched his fists. He had been thinking about Chen Jiao for so long, but actually let Ho Ying, a fool, take the lead and take advantage!
