First Empress Merchant

Chapter 60 A Woman's Mind

She knew that what Xiao Wu said to him was not an urgent matter, but it would not be a small matter, but it was none of her business, so she could only cheer him up.

Zhou Yang was briefly stunned when he heard the words, then took a deep look at her, whispered something to Situ, and left with Xiao Wu.

After watching the man leave, Lu Lishi returned to work, as if nothing happened just now.

A group of people were discussing and discussing together, and the sun was about to set in the blink of an eye. They had no choice but to send them back in a carriage for the time being.Naturally, Lu Lishi and his party also had to go back, because there were still a lot of things to sort out and design, and to write a bunch of employment contracts and confidentiality agreements for these masters. There were a lot of things.

The next day, they were dragged to the mountain early in the morning, and there was another rigorous discussion. After the final plan was made, they were left to have a light meal on the mountain before being dragged back. Things got busier.

The first thing is to recruit workers. After all, this is a big project. One or two people will definitely not do it. Then we need to buy the necessary materials, such as bricks, lime, better wood, nails, straw rope, dyes, and clothes for the workers. , shoes, etc., Lu Lishi followed the whole process, and it took another afternoon to buy all the things and transport them to the mountains before returning home. I was really tired.

At Xu time that night, Lu Lishi's room.

"Miss, the hot water is ready, don't be too busy, hurry up and soak your body!" Xin'er tried the water temperature while calling Lu Lishi who was still writing.

"Okay, right away!" Lu Lishi replied without looking up, and continued to speed up the work in hand, and only when it was almost done, did she put away her things and come over to undress.

"You... forget it."

When she was stripped down to her close-fitting obscene clothes, Lu Lishi originally wanted Xin'er to go out, and she could do it by herself, but seeing the curling steam, a huge sense of exhaustion instantly rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, so she gave up .

Serving the master to take a bath is what a slave should do, so Xin'er naturally wouldn't feel awkward.After Fulu Lishi entered the big wooden barrel, she brought water to wash her long black hair, then tied her hair up and wiped her back, but at the moment when she lifted her hair, Xin'er's hand suddenly paused, and then Weeping in a low voice.

Seeing this, Lu Lishi sighed silently, she knew it would be like this, hey!
"Let's stop crying? It's just a skin injury, it's okay." Lu Lishi didn't want to make a sound at first, but Kexin'er cried harder and harder, and was still rubbing her back. The scene was really weird, so she could only comfort her.

Xin'er restrained herself a little when she heard the words, but still couldn't stop twitching, "I haven't heard you mention it on weekdays, slave... I thought everything would be fine, but who would have thought that there would be so many scars left? Is it good?"

Lu Lishi sighed again, "My vision isn't that bad, if I just fancy my skin, I wouldn't want such a man."

Burn scars are the most difficult to repair, and this is not modern. In modern times, skin grafting and plastic surgery can be done, but in ancient times, this is the case. Anyway, she did it voluntarily, and no one complains.As for getting married, she may not necessarily marry again, of course, it is impossible to say this to this girl.

"By the way, did Situ live in?" Lu Lishi didn't want to worry about the scar anymore, so she changed the subject.

Hearing this, Xin'er was also slightly distracted, "Yes, I made a room next to Mr. Wu's room. But when it comes to Mr. Situ, you see, there are only four of us in our family, and none of them can withstand the weight. The one who brought you the wooden barrel just now is also Mr. Situ, but he is a member of King Yang after all, how can he keep making people do this kind of thing!"

Lu Lishi nodded after thinking about it, "Look at me, I'm so busy! Wait for a while, we don't have much money now, and when you have more money, go to the population market and recruit an honest man. Just make a room for bathing when you have time, and put the bucket there, now it’s no different than in the Lu Mansion, if you can do less things, do you understand?"

This is also her principle, the money that should be spent on business affairs must be spent, and it is enough to live a life on private affairs, and there is no need to be too extravagant and wasteful.

"Yes, I understand." Xin'er was sore again when she heard the words, but she felt sorry for Lu Lishi, but she was obedient and didn't show it.

After taking a bath, Lu Lishi helped Xin'er pour out the water together, and was worrying about what to do with the bucket, when she saw Situ come in quietly.

Knowing what he was going to do, Lu Lishi smiled at him, "Thank you."

Situ nodded and didn't say much. With a light lift of both hands, he lifted the half-human bucket out.

Lu Lishi followed all the way, and when he put the bucket away and was about to go back to his room, she stopped him, "Go and sit down?"

Situ looked at Lu Lishi's fairer and smoother face after bathing, and felt a little embarrassed, but he also knew that she would not just let him go, so he reluctantly raised his hand, signaling her to go first.

After sitting down, Lu Lishi looked at him with a smile, and combed her long hair. After combing, she said, "Since your master put you here, I won't treat you as an outsider. Be casual, don't be afraid." So formal!"

Situ still sat solemnly, staring straight ahead, not looking at Lu Lishi at all, not speaking, just secretly praying to get to the point quickly, so that it would be a surprise when he finished speaking.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Lishi smiled again, "A question for you, is this face the real you, or Ah Quan's?"

Situ took a quick look at her, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "This one is real, pretending to be Ah Quan is ordered by the master to protect Miss."

Lu Lishi raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "Then where is the real Ah Quan? In fact, he is also one of yours, right?"

Naturally, she would not foolishly ask why she should be protected, because the answer is obvious, and she also wants to know this question more.

Situ was a little surprised when he heard this question, but he still answered truthfully: "Yes, Ah Quan was placed there by the master to collect information. There are many people like this, not just our family, and they all arrange for inconspicuous faces to come. Do."

These words were naturally asked by the master, so he didn't hide them, but he didn't expect her to guess this level, and at most silenced it for future generations, it seems that the master sees it more clearly, and he still underestimates her.

Lu Lishi suddenly said, "Oh...then I'll ask you again, did you tell him the secret about my bracelet? And what did you say?"

As for matters such as intelligence gathering, the water is too deep. She just needs to know something about it. She doesn't need to delve into it, because the more she knows, the more troublesome she is. She is just an ordinary businessman, and she just needs to do her own thing well.

Situ replied: "Naturally, I will report the truth, but I don't know how you manipulated it, and I can't conclude how that thing turns people into ashes, so I only report a series of events after those people touched this thing. The changes are described again."
