Chapter 24: Girlfriends

"Dad, this is because of the opening on the first day today, and the popularity brought by the news that we sent before to receive steamed buns for free, and today is a market. People just try it. Tomorrow there will be a lot fewer people, and after three days, we will no longer have a discount, there will be even less. Don't be too surprised, lest you lose even more. If such good money can be made, where will it be our turn. Ying Qi was naturally the first to come to her senses.

Xueyun, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders, and as a bystander, he naturally didn't care.

"Sister, you're really amazing! Fu Yi admired his little sister more and more. Today he invited his partners, and felt that Song Mingfeng and Fang Sheng were a lot more kind to him, as if he had truly integrated into that group.

"Your sister is naturally very powerful, but Brother Yi is also very good, you entertained your husband and classmates very well today. Sir has always complimented you. Zhou Chungui smiled, remembering that Mr. Song talked to him about Fu Yi's studies in the inner courtyard, thinking that Fu Yi was a very diligent and smart child.

For Zhou Chungui's family, the rapid growth of his natural son Fuyi is the greatest hope for the development of his family.

Zhao Yulan collected the money, and everyone went to sleep with excitement. After all, you have to get up early tomorrow to do this.

Sure enough, on the second day, only some people in the town came to buy breakfast, because when it was advertised, it was said that you could buy two buns and get one for one in the first three days, but not three days later.

And Song Mingfeng also arranged for his family to continue to cheer.

After three days, there are even fewer people to buy breakfast. But slowly, the family got used to it.

During the gathering, more people will buy it, and they can basically earn about five or six taels of silver every day. Usually, only people in the town buy it, so the daily income is only about one or two silver.

In such a month, he could basically earn fifty taels of silver, so Zhou Chungui even handed over the land in his hand to the neighbors to rent and plant.

Fu Yi went to school steadily every day, came back to teach Ying Qi the day's homework, and practiced writing. Ying Qi felt that her skills were not pressing, and she was still entangled in Xueyun to learn embroidery.

The family lived happily and peacefully.

Until the first day of the fifth month, Ying Qi saw that the grapes she had planted had climbed all over the vines and were ready to start bearing grapes. And the peaches were already red, and at this time Fan Haoyan sent an invitation to Fu Yi.

But it was his family who held a flower viewing party. It is said that he came back from the eldest aunt to save his relatives and brought back two special pots of phalaenopsis from the capital, which no one here has ever seen, so he invited all the sons and daughters in the county to enjoy it. The elders had already met two days ago. The second year of junior high school is for children.

Fan Haoyan invited all his classmates, as well as Song Mingfeng and Fang Sheng's sisters, while Fu Yi and the six of them only had a sister in the county, and the others lived alone in Mr. Song's house. Therefore, Fan Haoyan also invited Yingqi.

Zhao Yulan was very happy to be able to attend this kind of gathering. finally gave his daughter the opportunity to meet the appearance of the rich family, and specially explained that Fu Yi asked him to ask if there was a girl of a similar age who could be a girlfriend for his sister.

There are no suitable ladies in the vicinity where their family lives now. If it weren't for the teenagers waiting to get married, they embroidered the dowry at home every day. Either it is a girl who has just been born one or two years old, and there is no similar age to Yingqi. Therefore, in addition to helping with things in the store every day, Ying Qi is learning from her brother, and Zhao Yulan always wants to let her have a partner to play.

In addition to preparing a new set of clothes and pants for Fu Yi in the evening, he also specially found a set of goose yellow clothes for Ying Qi, with small bloomers of the same color, and the snow clouds on the hem of the shirt embroidered a circle of pink peach blossoms, with Ying Qi's big eyes, and a white complexion like jade, which is very cute.

The next day, Fan Haoyan sent a carriage to pick up Fu Yi and Ying Qi early. At the same time, a carriage was also sent to pick up Zhao Xuan's five boys.

It took half an hour to arrive at Fanjiazhuang. At this time, there were already many horse-drawn carriages parked outside the village.

Fan Haoyan was already waiting for them at the side door. Song Mingfeng and He Guangyao have not yet arrived, but Fang Sheng, Chen Sheng, and Guan Jingmo have indeed arrived.

Fan Haoyan led them into the second gate, and then greeted a little maid, "Xia Zhi, you take Miss Yingqi to Miss Five." "Here, boys and girls are separated. After all, although they are still young, there are still differences between men and women.

"The fifth sister is my sister-in-law, I have already greeted her, and I will treat your sister well. Fan Haoyan explained to Fu Yi as he walked.

Ying Qi didn't react, and only saw the backs of a few boys.

I had no choice but to follow the little maid through the second gate and came to the flower hall.

"Fifth Miss, this is the Miss Zhou family who was brought over by the Third Young Master. The little maid stood in front of a quiet-looking girl.

"Okay, you go down. Fifth Miss Fan Xuewei waved her hand to let the little maid Xia Zhi retreat and came to Ying Qi.

"Sister Yingqi, it's the first time you come to my house, don't be restrained. "Fan Xuewei, about six years old, with a goose egg face and a slender figure. As he spoke, he stepped forward and took her hand as he beckoned to the other two girls.

"This is the sister of the Fang family, and her name is Cai Liu. This is the sister of the Guan family, and her maiden name is Danling. Two younger sisters, this is Ying Qi, the younger sister of the Zhou family. They are all sisters of my brother's classmates and friends. ”

Fang Cailiu, about ** years old, has a general name like willow, but her figure is round and plump, which is probably related to her family's restaurant.

Guan Danling, on the other hand, is relatively young, estimated to be six or seven years old, and looks relatively slender.

"Sister Xuewei, Sister Cailiu, Sister Danling. Ying Qi stepped forward to greet them one by one.

"Sister Yingqi. The two also hurried to return the salute.

Just as they were introducing each other, another girl came over, "Sister Xuewei, I'm here." Her crisp voice could be heard from afar.

"It's Sister Zhenrui here. Fan Xuewei didn't catch up, probably very familiar. Instead, she explained to Ying Qi, "It's Brother Song's younger sister, the young lady of the official family." "That is, the daughter of the county official, Song Mingfeng's sister.

"Sister Xuewei, where is that phalaenopsis orchid in your house?" Song Zhenrui quickly walked over.

"Hey, there's another sister. Ah, it looks smaller than me. Sister Xuewei, how old is she?" Song Zhenrui had bright eyes, and like her voice, she also looked refreshing and sharp.

"Sister Yingqi is only four years old and is the youngest. It is estimated that Fan Haoyan introduced his sister Fan Xuewei in advance before.

"Great, great, finally I'm not the youngest. Come, Sister Yingqi, call Sister Sheng to listen. "Song Zhenrui looks completely familiar.

Ying Qi especially likes this straightforward character. "Sister Zhenrui. "She came forward very well and saluted.

"Alright, everyone is here, let's go to the east of the flower hall. Phalaenopsis is there. It's really pretty pretty. ”

For Ying Qi, if it was really the phalaenopsis she had seen before, it didn't matter. But we still passed together. After all, this is the topic of the day. That is, to praise other people's good products.

"Sister Yingqi, where do you live? Meet at Sister Xuewei's place this time, next time I invite you to my house to play." "Song Zhenrui is very enthusiastic.

"Hmm. Sister Zhenrui doesn't dislike words. My family lives in the West Street Zhiweiguan. ”

"Zhiweiguan, is that the Zhiwei concept of the cute bun that my chef can't imitate?" Fang Cailiu couldn't listen to it.

"Sister Cailiu, my aunt said you should eat less. Guan Danling frowned when he heard Fang Cailiu say.

"I know that too. My brother has brought back steamed buns, and they are indeed quite delicious. Song Zhenrui interjected. "Sister Yingqi, next time I invite you to my house to play, you can bring me some of your buns, okay?"

Ying Qi smiled happily. "Okay, okay, sure. As long as a few sisters don't dislike it. ”

"Okay, I'll send you a post when I get home. It's so nice to have another great place to go. ”

"You, you, you love to play. Song Zhenrui's words made Fan Xuewei a little speechless.

"I'll go too, okay?" Fang Cailiu looked at Ying Qi with a little snort, the goal was naturally not a party but a bun.

"No problem. Just let Sister Yingqi bring a few more small buns. Song Zhenrui spoke loudly and made a decision directly to Yingqi.

"Cousin. Sister Zhenrui didn't invite you. It will also make Sister Yingqi embarrassed. Where is there anything to ask for food? Guan Danling was a little unhappy with Fang Cailiu's words.

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone will come together. Sister Yingqi, is it okay?" Song Zhenrui said to Guan Danling, and then turned to ask Yingqi.

"Absolutely. I do it myself for my sisters. Usually my mother does it, but I do it too. And my brother said that what I made was better than what my mother made. I'll do it for you myself. Ying Qi smiled.

"Okay, that's it. So the girls talked and smiled and walked forward.

Sure enough, it was a phalaenopsis, and it was the most beautiful purple phalaenopsis.

Clusters of lush green leaves create a slender and sturdy flower path, and at the top of the path is a deep purple phalaenopsis swaying and swaying slowly in the breeze. The petals on both sides are shaped like butterfly wings, so when they swing with the wind, they will be like butterflies flying with the wind.

"It's so beautiful!" each girl was fascinated by the swaying butterfly form.

As for Ying Qi, she shrugged her shoulders, glanced at her twice, and looked away a little indifferently, so the two pots of Ying Qi felt boring at all. Phalaenopsis orchids need to be large and large to be truly beautiful.

At this time, another group of girls came, "Fifth sister." The girls all said hello. Song Zhenrui hurriedly pulled Ying Qi and said, "Hurry up, a group of fart worms and sycophants are here." "The sycophants are probably aimed at her.

Before Ying Qi came back to her senses, she was pulled away by Song Zhenrui, and Fang Cailiu and Guan Danling also followed. And Fan Xuewei stopped a group of her cousins and sisters-in-law. 、

"Let's go, it's your first time here, let's take you to see the fish pond in Fang's garden, where there are a lot of red koi fish. Song Zhenrui pulled Ying Qi and said.

Because the Fan family is the home of scholars, the house building is also a simulated Jiangnan courtyard, pavilions, and carved railings. Small bridges and flowing water in the park, rockery ponds. The verandah path winds through it, and the layout is elegant and refined.

A few girls came to the lotus pond, the lotus flowers have not yet opened, only lotus leaves, and red koi fish swim among the lotus leaves.

Song Zhenrui called a maid, brought fish food, handed it to Ying Qi, and taught her to put it in her hands.

While playing and chatting, after a while, Fan Xuewei also rushed over.

"I knew you were here. Fan Xuewei smiled, "Okay, let's go have some refreshments." ”

"Just let them get here. Song Zhenrui said.

"That's fine. Fan Xuewei beckoned the maid to bring some tea and fruit snacks.

Everyone played for a while, Guan Danling looked at the sky and said, "Sister Xuewei, it's a little late, it is estimated that the brothers will come to call us back in a while." ”

"Alright, let's go back to the flower hall first. Fan Xuewei also nodded.

So the group returned to the flower hall.

Sure enough, after a while, a few maids came in, but it was the boys who beckoned their sister to prepare for the return journey.

followed the maids to the second gate. Zhou Fuyi, they are all already waiting at the second gate.

"Sister, let's take our leave. "Fu Yi came over to pick up Ying Qi.

"Sister Xuewei, I'm sorry to disturb me today. Ying Qi saluted Fan Xuewei.

"Sister, don't be so polite. Please come back when you have time. Fan Xuewei hurriedly replied.

"Alright, don't be so polite. Sister Yingqi, I'll give you a post when I go back. Song Zhenrui walked over at this time.

"Okay, Sister Zhenrui, goodbye. Ying Qi hurriedly said goodbye to her, and at the same time said goodbye to Fang Cailiu and Guan Danling.

They spoke again, and then they boarded the carriage and went home. And the carriage that sent Zhao Yu to them and the carriage of Fu Yi were still sent by the Fan family, and they returned home after sending them home.
