    Not long after Liu Dakui left, Liu Xu took Xiaohe, Xiaomute, and Amu to the workshop.  On the way, Liu Xu told Amu and Xiaohe that if he was not free in the future, he would ask Amu or Afu Ashou to escort Xiaohe back and forth.  Although Xiao He felt that this was not necessary in the workshop, seeing Liu Xu's instructions and knowing that he was doing it for her own good, she gratefully agreed.  When we arrived at the workshop, everyone was already here without any surprise, and work had already started.  According to Wang Meng and the two men who were on duty yesterday, the female workers and vendors came here before dawn. They helped distribute the first batch of goods that the vendors carried out to sell. Fortunately, they had some stock yesterday, otherwise  Everyone can only wait.  Xiaohe felt very embarrassed when he heard this and apologized to Liu Xu, saying that he came too late today.  In fact, she got up at dawn, but she didn't ask Liu Xu for instructions. She didn't dare to come here to work without permission. At that time, Liu Xu was practicing again, and he had already told them that when practicing,  We couldn't disturb him, so by the time Liu Xu finished his work, it was naturally a little late to come here.  Of course Liu Xu knew the reason why she came late, so she could come to work on her own when she got up in the morning without asking him for instructions.  Xiao He quickly agreed and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Then he took out the account book and started to work. The little mute was quite obedient to carry the finished candied haws out and count them.  Liu Xu only stayed in the workshop for more than ten minutes, made some necessary explanations, ordered everyone to gather here in the afternoon, and then left with Amu and Su Wang.  ¡° Then Liu Xu naturally went to the tailor shop to see Zhang Ruoying.  This Wang¡¯s Tailor Shop is basically closed to the public now, and only one door is open during the day.  Liu Xurang followed the two of them and waited outside the store, while he walked in without hesitation. He happened to see Zhang Ruoying, Lu Xiumei, and Yun Niang talking and laughing together, while Xiaolian was beside Zhang Ruoying, helping with sewing.  New styles of clothes.  Women are emotional animals. After being nourished by Liu Xu's love, they look more and more charming today, but the faint spring feeling between their brows cannot be concealed.  When she walks out like this and is seen by others, anyone who comes by will notice something.  Liu Xu secretly thought to himself that after getting rid of the Qian brothers, he would officially marry Zhang Ruoying.  When Liu Xu came in, the four women quickly stopped talking and laughing and saluted Liu Xu.  Zhang Ruoying's soft and waxy voice, as well as her charming style, made Liu Xu feel a little hot in his heart.  Lu Xiumei's resentful and teasing eyes also made Liu Xu feel a little swayed in his heart.  Due to the presence of Yun Niang, an outsider, Liu Xu couldn't express himself too much. After giving the sisters and sister-in-law a calm look, he talked to them about the clothing store.  He couldn't hide the fact that he opened a ready-made clothing store with them for a long time, and Liu Xu had nothing to hide. He decided to marry Zhang Ruoying early on.  The founding emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty came from a merchant family and was a businessman himself. In addition, Prince Xing's Mansion was a port city with prosperous commerce in all dynasties. Therefore, although the Southern Han Dynasty was belittled as useless in later generations, it cannot be denied that it played an important role in governing the country.  The policy is relatively open, and business activities are encouraged from top to bottom. Several generations of Tu emperors often entertained Chinese and foreign businessmen from various countries in the palace, and treated them with great courtesy. It can be said that the residents here have business talents and inheritance in their bones.  Among the people, it is not a big deal for women to do business, and it has nothing to do with immorality.  Widows in this era are much more independent than in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Neither the government nor the people oppose or even encourage them to remarry.  Liu Xu told his aunt and sister-in-law about the decoration of the clothing store and looked at the clothes they had made. Liu Xu felt very satisfied.  What surprised Liu Xu was that Yun Niang had no intention of taking the initiative to leave. She stood quietly watching the exchange between him and his sister-in-law, and did not show much surprise about their partnership in opening a store.  The sister-in-law and sister-in-law were also a little confused about Yun Niang not taking the initiative to leave. Afterwards, the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other suddenly, and they could see the worry in each other.  Yun Niang often comes to chat with Zhang Ruoying these days. They had known each other before and had some friendship. Zhang Ruoying and her have similar temperaments. After talking to each other in the past few days, their relationship has become deeper and they have already become like sisters.  " Yun Niang was just in love with her for the first time. Liu Xu was handsome and about the same age as her. Now he was the deputy commander of Wuhou Pu, and his future was unlimited.  As the daughter of Li Fangzheng, Yun Niang is a perfect match for him. She is talented and beautiful, so it is natural for her to fall in love with Liu Xu.  Of course Liu Xu also felt Yun Niang¡¯s strange look at him, even though he?His concealment is pretty good, but how could he just stand aside and look at a man like this?  While Liu Xu was slightly attracted to this girl Loli, he thought of Li Boyong and Li Fangzheng, but he had no intention of hooking up with her for the time being.  Young girls like this are the most obsessive. Liu Xu has no shortage of women around him now, so there is really no need to take the initiative to provoke her.  Of course, if she must take the initiative to deliver it to her door, Liu Xu is not a believer, but he doesn't mind eating green apples for a change.  At that time, if Old Man Li comes to urge the marriage, the worst he can do is marry her as his concubine.  Because there was still business to do today, Liu Xu did not stay in the tailor shop for too long.  It came out in about ten minutes.  Next, Liu Xu asked Su Wang to take him to the blacksmith shop to buy weapons.  As the deputy commander of Wuhoupu, Wuhou's uniform is not new, and the sword was taken out from the warehouse in Wuhoupu. Even the scabbard is not damaged, but the blade has several chips and is somewhat rusty.  Liu Xu wore it just for show. According to Wuhoupu military regulations, this saber must be worn, especially when on patrol.  Previously, because Liu Xu was better at daggers and was accustomed to using them in his previous life, he had no intention of buying a knife. But now because of the news about Liu Dakui, the necessary weapons and equipment can no longer be scraped.  He planned to equip himself and Amudu this time, just in case.  Su Wang was born as a Touer and was very familiar with the capital. He took Liu Xu and the two of them to a blacksmith shop in Dunyifang in the west of the city.  "Liu Shuai, Lao Mao's blacksmith shop is an ancestral craft. It mainly sells farm tools, kitchen knives, scissors and the like. It uses a lot of materials and is very famous in the capital. In addition, he also secretly sells some non-banned items.  Weapons, mainly Tang knives, such as barrier knives, are made very well by him. In addition, he also sells horizontal knives. This small one is the one he sold here. It is almost two years old and it is still very sharp.  It cost almost 2,000 yuan. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is well worth the money. It is a steel knife.¡± With Su Wang¡¯s introduction, the three of them walked into the inconspicuous blacksmith shop.  "Old Mao, we're here for business." Su Wang called out loudly and casually as soon as he entered.  At this time, there were three people standing next to the big stove in the middle of the room. They were all bare-chested, with gnarled muscles and dark skin. One of them was in his forties or fifties, and the other two were younger. One was in his twenties, and the other looked good.  He is only seventeen or eighteen years old.  The old man stood aside and gave instructions, while the two young men were beating each other with hammers.  When the old man in his forties or fifties saw Su Wang coming in, he couldn't help but grinned and laughed loudly: "Monkey, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you still doing your job?" Su Wang subconsciously glanced at Liu Xu and saw him  There was nothing unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily to the old man: "Old Mao, your foul mouth is hopeless. I brought someone here to buy a knife today. This is our Marquis Wu.  Liu Shuai, who has just taken office, I have always respected. If you have any good stocks, show them to our Liu Shuai." "Isn't your Wu Houshuai from Qinglongfang Ma Hong?"  asked somewhat surprised.  Su Wang sighed slightly: "That's Lao Huangli. Ma Hong has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed in bed. Our Liu Shuai will take over his position soon. Don't look at our Liu Shuai because he is young, but he is a man of real ability. You  Give me a face this time. Don¡¯t hide any inventory you have this time.¡± Old Mao looked at Liu Xu with a strange look, then glanced at the strong Amu, and nodded:  "Okay. Come in with me." After saying that, he turned around and led the three of them towards the backyard.
