Chapter 74 Old Paperweight

Lin Huazhi and the old ghost originally made a March period. She was supposed to go to the old ghost before the New Year, but when there were so many things, she forgot the agreement.

She went to Fuguifang and entered the pawnshop, but the cabinet man said that the old ghost went to the north and didn't return until a month later. She said that 80% of the things she asked the old ghost to investigate had been, and there would be a result in a month at most.

Thinking of the three things that the old ghost was asked to investigate on that day, although it was not difficult, the things were numerous and detailed, and the energy spent was not easy.

Lin Huazhi believed in the old ghost's ability to do things, and she was relieved to learn that things would come to an end soon.

When she went out, the young man of the cabinet stopped her and said that she should not forget to prepare the payment.

The reward that Lin Huazhi is going to pay to the old ghost is "Buddha's Great Picture". This picture is a treasure bought by Chen Suyue a few years ago. It is a unique painting in the world. Chen Suyue has always been very precious and carefully collected in the secret room, and even Yan Shaobai is rare.

Chen Suyue rarely believed in people before her death, or she did not want to believe in people. In her short life, the result of trusting others made Chen Suyue very injured every time, and the wound would heal, but it would leave scars.

Walking on the street, the atmosphere of the New Year is still strong, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces. Lin Huazhi felt heavy in her heart, which made her a little sad, as if she had been forgotten, and then she could only live alone in desolation and sorrow.

Her chest was stuffy, as if something was blocked there. She didn't like this feeling. Lin Huazhi insisted that she should keep Chen Suyue's strong mind and stay away from the so-called sadness to protect herself from harm.

"Lin Huazhi." Someone called her in the opposite shop.

Turning his head and saw Ruyi standing at the door of the store wadding to her.

Lin Huazhi walked over and asked, "Sister Ruyi, what are you doing here?" Behind Ruyi is a garment factory.

Ruyi took her hand and walked into the shop and said, "What else can I do? During the Spring Festival, Aunt Feng said that she would cut the spring skirts for the maids and mothers in the East Courtyard at the beginning of spring. I'm here to pick out patterns today. You can help me take a look."

Xing'er and Lin Huazhi talked about this and asked her for reference. Lin Huazhi did not refuse. By the way, she also had her small calculation. She wanted to secretly see whether the business of the ready-to-wear workshop was good in the six months when Chen Suyue was away.

About two hours later, the two came out together. Ruyi smiled and said, "This year's patterns are much more exquisite than last year. You have just heard from the master that those patterns are popular in Beijing recently. I especially like that heavy-flowered two-color peony. If it is embroidered on the skirt, it must be very beautiful.

Lin Huazhi answered her, but her mind was not on those exquisite patterns. When Ruyi just talked to the master, Lin Huazhi still remembered that the master of the garment workshop inadvertently leaked, saying that the orders of the garment factory this year were more than half less than last year.

If what the master said is true, something big will happen.

However, Lin Huazhi did not dare to conclude whether this matter was true or not at this time. She had to wait for her to go back and ask Yan Shaobai.

There is only one garment workshop in Jiangdong Mansion, but this only garment workshop occupies half of the street. The clothing workshop is four stories high and can be seen anywhere in Jiangdong Mansion.

Nine out of ten large families in Jiangdong Prefecture, the four-season dresses are customized by Chen Suyue's garment workshop, which is different in both patterns and styles. Because of this so-called difference, the garment workshop brings great wealth to Chen Suyue every year.

At the same time, the matching jewelry stores and shoe stores have made Chen Suyue's garment business firmly occupy the first place in Jiangdong Prefecture.

Originally, if Chen Suyue did not die, she was going to open a rouge shop to further refine the ready-to-wear business and make more money.

And now there are rumors that there is no business in the clothing workshop, which is why Lin Huazhi is not worried.

Some time ago, when checking the accounts, she noticed that the income and expenditure of the garment workshop in the past three months are the same, that is to say, there is no income, and Chen Suyue's most profitable business is not profitable. What does this mean?

Ruyi didn't know that Lin Huazhi would think of so many things in her heart. She had several pairs of patterns in her hand. Ruyi carefully collected them and said to Lin Huazhi, "Huazhi, are you going back home or going to the south of the city with me?"

"What are you going to do in the south of the city?" It seems that Ruyi went out today, and there are quite a lot of things to do.

Ruyi may not have expected that her mouth would speak so fast. She said the words first. Ruyi hesitated and said, "Master, let me see Miss Cui." After saying that, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Are you going to see Cui Ting? Lin Huazhi remembered the patterns that Ruyi had just picked in the store, and she suddenly asked, "What? Do you want to redo her wedding dress or what do you want to do?

Ruyi didn't answer and laughed: "Go back to home first, Huazhi. Aunt Feng has a lot of things to do these two days. I don't worry about you."

Lin Huazhi was not going to see Cui Ting. At this time, listening to Ruyi, Cui Ting was looking for something to make a new wedding dress, so she was even more reluctant to see Cui Ting. She followed Ruyi's words and said, "Yes, there have been a lot of things in the house recently, so I'll go back first."

Ruyi nodded quickly. The two parted at the corner of the street, and Lin Huazhi went straight back to the house.

Entering the East Courtyard, Baoqin just came out of the study and asked with a smile, "Sister Huazhi, you're back. Have you eaten yet?"

Lin Huazhi responded to Baoqin's words and suddenly remembered that Baoqin and Cui Shuang lived in the same room. She pulled Baoqin aside and whispered to Cui Shuang if he was in good health these two days.

Baoqin said, "The doctor said that Sister Cuishuang is basically nothing serious now. If she is sick or mentally ill, let Sister Cuishuang think more."

Hearing that Cui Shuang was not sick, Lin Huazhi was also happy for her. The doctor was really right. He still needs a medical doctor for his heart disease. After a few words of gossip with Baoqin, Baoqin had to rush to deliver food to Cui Shuang. He smiled at Lin Huazhi and hurried out of the East Courtyard.

Lin Huazhi went to the study.

Yan Shaobai's favorite place to stay now is not only the study but also the study.

At this point, he is no different from before, but in the past, his study was on the side of Lanyuan, and the study in the East Courtyard was mostly used by Chen Suyue.

After Yan Shaobai moved back from Lanyuan to the east courtyard, the furnishings in the study basically did not change much, and there were many traces of Chen Suyue in the house.

Yan Shaobai is playing with the paperweight in his hand. If I remember correctly, this cat-headed animal-shaped paperweight turned out to be his. The cat's tail was broken a long time ago. At that time, he had never married Chen Suyue. He often didn't say a few words to Chen Suyue. Most of the time, Chen Suyue just sat quietly and looked at him. Once, he drew a new mountain map, but the wind blew and made the window creak. In order to protect the painting from being stained by the dust, he was in a hurry. He accidentally knocked over the inkstone, and even the paperweight on the table fell to the ground and broke it. It was this square cat-headed animal-shaped paperweight. He always thought he had lost it, but he didn't expect it. Chen Suyue's hand.

At this time, looking at the broken old paperweight and thinking of that man, Yan Shaobai only felt panicked.

"Master."

The door turned around and called gently. Yan Shaobai looked up. Lin Huazhi stood quietly in front of the door. In the yard behind her, there was thin snow, and the cold winter flowed in the air.
