Chapter 8 Planning
"Hiccup!" Li Shi saw Liu's slightly gloomy face, and his heart sighed, and he unconsciously hiccuped, and he had already woken up three points from seven points of alcohol. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info hurriedly put down the cup, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and said with some flattery: "Hehe, sister-in-law is really well-informed, even Jiangzhou knows, what is that, sister-in-law hurry up and tell us, let us increase our knowledge." β
"Jiangzhou, where is Jiangzhou, are there many rivers there?" Wang also had an eye-catching eye, put down his wine glass, and asked pretending to be stupid.
Mrs. Zhou is now drunk and hazy, looking drowsy, she only knows how to drink and eat, and she doesn't know what she said to others.
Lan Xin disagreed with Liu's style of taking a shelf, but as a junior, she couldn't say anything, not to mention that there were so many people on the table. With a smile on her face, she looked at Liu with a look of deafness.
Yuxue saw that everyone was silent, and she also stopped her chopsticks smartly.
Evian was originally a foodie, and she didn't sleep well and ate well when she went to the countryside to worship her ancestors these days, but she didn't care about anything when she had such a good banquet today, she just cared about eating with her stuffy head. Now she is busy dealing with the chicken thigh in her hand!
Liu's eyes swept around, and he was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, and his face was much better. The old lady's lethargic appearance and Evian's eating appearance made her frown slightly, but she quickly put it down. She was not in a hurry to speak, she put a chopstick of celery in her mouth and chewed it slowly. After a while, he swallowed the food in his mouth, took another sip of wine from his wine glass, slowly swallowed it into his stomach, picked up the handkerchief next to him and gently pressed the corner of his mouth.
Wang and Li looked respectfully waiting on their faces, but they secretly pouted in their hearts: Sister-in-law's ability to put music is getting higher and higher.
"I've heard of this Jiangzhou. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Liu Shi spoke. "Jiangzhou is adjacent to our Xuzhou, where it is close to the sea on three sides, and the land is sparsely populated. There are very few people who farm, and most of them live by the sea. β
"How do you live by the sea? I've heard that the sea is salty and undrinkable. Li asked curiously.
"Of course we can't just drink seawater, don't we also have to eat and eat?" Wang pouted and retorted, thinking that Li's question was too stupid.
"When I say living by the sea, I mean that they go out to sea to fish, sell the fish somewhere else, and buy the money they need for life. Liu glanced at them, feeling that both of them were stupid, and seeing the two of them suddenly realized, he was very proud, "There are also people in Jiangzhou who don't rely on fishing, they understand boats." I bought things from several states near Jiangzhou, and used boats to move to Youzhou, Huzhou and other places across the sea. Therefore, although the people of Jiangzhou do not plant mulberry, they are very rich. β
"Oh, I see. It's no wonder that 'Shiwei Zhai' will invite a dim sum chef from Jiangzhou to come over. Li sighed. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the movement of Liu's hand, and pouted secretly, do you think you can see everything. Deliberately said to Wang's puzzled eyes: "Isn't that obvious? The people of Jiangzhou went to other places, and naturally saw the customs and eating habits, and when they came back, they preached it, didn't everyone know about it? Oh, second sister-in-law, why are you so stupid, you can't even think about such a little twist and turn." As he spoke, he glanced over vaguely.
Lan Xin listened to Li's words, felt funny, and couldn't help thinking: According to the words of the second aunt, all the people in Jiangzhou are dim sum masters? But her words are not all unreasonable, there are many wharves in Jiangzhou, and there are many merchants coming and going, so the people of Jiangzhou will have more knowledge than people in other places.
"Oh-" Wang slapped his thigh and understood, "Third brother and sister, your brain is spinning so fast." Although your sister-in-law is a few years older than you, she doesn't understand everything. Wang boasted seriously, but he bit the word "sister-in-law", and Li humbly accepted it. The two of them sang and harmonized, which made Liu so angry that he turned his back.

"Mother, are you and the second aunt a little excessive, you see that you squeezed the eldest aunt, and the eldest aunt's face is dark. Back in the third room, after some freshening, the mother and daughter nested on the soft couch and talked.
Li stretched his legs into the brocade quilt, took the pillow and put it on his back, and found a comfortable position to lean on. Picking up the teacup on the table, he took a few sips slowly, and put the teacup back on the table before he spoke: "Too much? Hmph, that's squeezing her lightly! You look at her incredible appearance, I feel disgusted when I think about it." Phew, what's the matter!" with a look of disgust and disdain, how could there be a little flattery and flattery in front of Liu.
"But, my father is now in my uncle's shop. Our family still has to rely on the eldest uncle, if we get stiff, isn't it okay?" Yuxue said a little nervously, she was used to eating well, dressing well, and serving maids, but she didn't want to go back to the mountains to live a life of digging in the soil.
"That's why we need to plan it well. Li gently rubbed the ruby on the ring, looked at the blooming peony on the screen of the rich flowers in front of the bed, and said leisurely, "Your younger brother Wenlin is a good reader, and your father also has the heart to let him gain fame, so he secretly invited his husband back and taught him to read at night." β
"But mother, Wenlin has gone to take the test, who will take his father's place?" asked Yuxue suspiciously.
"Hehe, what a stupid boy!" Li Shi was amused by Yuxue's words, raised his hand to smooth the broken hair next to his daughter's ear, and continued: "Do you think our life is the best now? Yes, we are much better than the days when we were backing up in the mountains." But compared to those eunuchs, we are far behind. In the eyes of the eunuchs, we merchants are not worth mentioning at all.
If Wenlin had achieved fame, our family's status would have changed in an instant. Don't look at your aunt's arrogance now, when that time comes, she will have to cry and cry and beg us. Hmph!" Thinking of Liu's low appearance in front of her, she couldn't help but snort coldly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Looking at the well-behaved daughter in front of him, a gentle smile appeared on his face again, and he continued: "Wen Lin is nine years old this year, and it will be a few years before he ends. Now it's all about planning your marriage. β
"Motherγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Yuxue shouted with a red face.
"What a silly boy. Li touched Yuxue's face and shook his head helplessly, "Mother doesn't want to hide it from you, your mother and your father have already helped you plan for your marriage, and it is Kong Xiucai in the school." β
"That poor talent?!" Yuxue screamed incredulously despite her shyness.
"Death, why are you so loud?" Li slapped her and reprimanded, "What do you know? Don't look at him as poor now, but he is a talent." Your father has already asked someone to inquire, Kong Xiucai's knowledge is good, he will definitely pass the exam next fall, and after passing the exam, he will be a master. Think about it, weren't you just a lady at that time, and didn't you have to look up at you everywhere you went?"
"Mother, you said it well, will his family agree?" Yuxue was a little moved by what Li said, but she still felt a little awkward.
