Chapter 90: Unwilling
Chu Duyuan's family affairs were quickly decided, because the two of them were not young, and the date of marriage was set in May of the following year, many people said that the Chu family began to be lucky, from Chu Yiyao's marriage was decided, and the outside would always bring the Shen family, and now the second young master of the Chu family sent the dowry to Hongdu has also attracted the attention of many people, and the Chu family, who was almost bankrupt some time ago, is now preparing to marry a new daughter-in-law.
The second brother's marriage was handled by the sister-in-law, Chu Yiyao had to go to various shops to take a look, Shen Shixuan gave her those that really didn't plan to take them back, saying that it was for her to make a dowry, Chu Yiyao couldn't cry or laugh, although he knew that he was afraid that the dowry would not be rich when he got married, and let others gossip, but when he remembered his determined appearance that day, he always felt that he was his way.
In order to avoid Cao Jinrong, Chu Yiyao didn't go to the boudoir some time ago, and came out of the rouge shop to think about the past to take a look, there were a lot of red lanterns hanging on the street in mid-December, and the sound of firecrackers came from time to time in the alley, and the children who were running and playing were also dressed in festive clothes.
"Miss." The shopkeeper invited Chu Yiyao in, there were not many guests in the boudoir, but there were many people in the row of wood next door to see the carving, and there were many large items that could be bought back as gifts.
"There are a lot of customers who come to place orders and want to make them ordered." Mr. Li's face is difficult, and one or two can come over and refuse, but there are a lot of people who say they want to customize before the year, and some of the prices are not low, and Mr. Li is a little reluctant to refuse.
Chu Yiyao flipped through the booklet he brought, one of the guests opened the highest price, 1,200 taels of carved screen frames, and a few were not low, but they were all time-consuming things, Chu Yiyao put down the booklet and shook his head, "Now that the master has no time to carve these, Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to feel embarrassed, he said that he would not accept this kind of order when he opened." "Master Bai is old, he can't let him work so hard, Shen Shixuan doesn't have time to do these things now, it's better not to take a family, and save people's talk.
"Then I'm afraid this business will be stolen a lot." Shopkeeper Li is worried that if they don't do it, they will go to other people's homes to do it, and the guests will be taken away, "Now the business is a little lighter than at the beginning of the year." ”
Chu Yiyao said with a smile, "It's normal to be lighter, people's freshness has passed, and there must be fewer guests than last year, and now business is stable." "Every once in a while, a special place will be put up, and the business of the shop can remain stable, and there will be no fear of those customers running away," They must come back to us because they think we are good, and they will go to others before retreating, what do we have to worry about." ”
"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Li nodded, still admiring the eldest lady.
Chu Yiyao walked out of the shop, there was a noise in his ears, and when he looked up, a drunk man at the door of Cao Jinrong's restaurant was driven out and fell on the road, and several people rushed out of the restaurant to punch and kick the drunk man, and the people passing by avoided walking over and stood far away to watch the excitement.
Then Cao Jinrong walked out of the restaurant, and the people who followed him didn't know what to say to the drunk, but the drunk didn't resist, and curled up to fight.
After fighting for a while, those few people stopped, and Chu Yiyao watched the drunk man staggering up and stumbling into the alley, with a blue nose and swollen face.
Just as he was about to turn his gaze, Cao Jinrong's gaze skimmed to her side, and when he saw her, he froze, adding a chill to his already cold expression, Chu Yiyao sighed slightly in his heart, turned around and got into the carriage.
Cao Jinrong watched the carriage go away, and his fist tightened a little. He was unwilling, but his father's warnings kept reminding him that it was impossible for the Cao family to be unhappy with the Shen family for this matter, and they were happy with each other.
Two lovers? Two love each other's fart!
Asking but not letting this demon continue to grow, Cao Jinrong was unwilling to let this matter be over, but he couldn't do anything, at this moment, he didn't realize that paying too much attention to Chu Yiyao was not just to vent his anger...
This New Year of the Chu family was very lively, Chinese New Year's Eve had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chu Twilight took Chu Yiyao and Chu Yingzhu to Jianshan Temple to pray for blessings, Chu Yiyao smiled and looked at Chu Twilight Yuan carrying Chu Yingzhu and asking him to throw the wishing card, "Be careful." ”
Chu Yingzhu threw the brand on the wishing tree as soon as he returned, stuck it on the high branch, and got off Chu Duyuan's back and said to Chu Yiyao with an excited face, "Auntie, look, I threw it so high." ”
"Let my aunt guess what you wrote." Chu Yiyao pinched his frozen red face, and deliberately guessed, "Do you want to grow up and marry a daughter-in-law quickly?" ”
"That's not right!"
"Do you want your uncle to quickly ask a child to be your playmate?"
"No, no, no!" Chu Yingzhu saw that she couldn't guess the urgency several times, and Chu Yiyao looked frustrated, "That aunt can't guess." ”
Chu Yingzhu waved at her, Chu Yiyaofu lowered her body, Chu Yingzhu whispered into her ear, "I think my mother is better to Uncle Huaishan." ”
Seeing Chu Yingzhu's innocent smile, a hint of surprise flashed in Chu Yiyao's eyes, "Why do you want your mother to be nice to your uncle?" ”
"Because the uncle is very good, he is very happy every time he sees his mother, if his mother is kind to the uncle, the uncle will definitely be happier."
Chu Yiyao looked at him with anticipation on his face, and couldn't help asking, "Ying Zhu, if Uncle Huaishan is your father, do you like it?" ”
Chu Yingzhu thought about it but shook his head, "I have a father, and my mother said that my father didn't deliberately leave me and my mother, and I can't forget him." ”
"Ying Zhu is good." Chu Yiyao touched his head, the impression of the eldest brother in the nephew's heart became more and more blurred, and the sister-in-law kept telling him about the eldest brother, does the sister-in-law really plan to live like this for the rest of her life.
"Second brother." There was a sudden shout behind him, Chu Yiyao looked back, Chu Miaoluo and Chu Miaolan appeared in front of them with a maid, Chu Yiyao looked around, and really saw Cheng Shaopeng and Li Ruoqing on the steps outside the main hall.
This second brother didn't like it in Chu Duyuan's ears, and when the second uncle left with those stewards, the relationship between the two families was severed, so he smiled and pulled Chu Yingzhu and said to Chu Yiyao, "It's time to go back, and I have to go to worship tomorrow." ”
Chu Miaolan was a little anxious when she saw that they didn't even pay attention to greetings, and shouted, "Sister Yiyao, don't be angry with my father, he is also forced to do so." Chu Chu's pitiful appearance and weak voice attracted the attention of many people.
The corners of Chu Yiyao's mouth raised a smile, looking at Chu Miaolan's tone without slashing, "How could I be angry with my second uncle, he also took away his cronies and cleaned up this business house for me, I am grateful that it is too late for him." ”
Chu Miaolan's cheeks turned red, and a layer of mist appeared under her eyes, compared to Chu Yiyao's domineering words, the people around her first felt pitiful when they saw Chu Miaolan's reaction.
Chu Miaoluo took her sister's hand and tied her heart to Cheng Shaopeng, who accompanied Li Ruoqing to pray for blessings, "Let's go." ”
Chu Miaolan looked at Chu Yiyao almost in three steps, biting her lip and lining that look, everyone who saw it was moved.
Chu Yiyao stood there and watched them go up, did she think too highly of herself, or did she think that doing so could attract the attention of many people, if it was the latter, then she succeeded, such a weak style, many people like it.
"Let's go." Chu Yiyao turned around and smiled at Chu Duyuan, and left Jianshan Temple together.
Chu Miaoluo, who was in a hurry to rush to the main hall, could not take care of her sister's thoughts at this moment, it has been so long since she gave birth to her daughter, her stomach still hasn't moved, and the doctor said that this is the first child when she was born and hurt some vitality, and she has to take care of it.
Fortunately, Li Ruoqing, who has been married for more than a year, is not pregnant, and her daughter is still the heart of Xianggong, so that she has more opportunities to meet Cheng Shaopeng than Li Ruoqing.
Walking into the main hall, Cheng Shaopeng accompanied Li Ruoqing to ask for a good charm, for more than a year, Mrs. Cheng took Li Ruoqing to ask for a son to worship the Buddha, but there was no movement, and the child-seeking charm in Jianshan Temple was also very effective, Li Ruoqing asked Cheng Shaopeng to accompany him to ask for a child, hoping to conceive a child as soon as possible.
"Have you written the wishing card?" Cheng Shaopeng was surprised that they came back so quickly, Chu Miaolan pursed her lips and didn't make a sound, Chu Miaoluo smiled and nodded, "There were few people when I went, and it will be fine soon, my sister can ask for a good charm?" Obviously seeing that Li Ruoqing had put away the child-seeking talisman, Chu Miaoluo pretended not to see it, and asked her with concern.
"Please, Xianggong, I'm here, I still want to go to the wishing tree to write a sign." Li Ruoqing turned to Cheng Shaopeng and said, her gentle expression was not lost to Chu Miaoluo at all.
Cheng Shaopeng just wanted to respond, but Chu Miaoluo directly picked up Li Ruoqing's words and held her hand, "I'll accompany you over, Shao Peng, it's already late now, why don't you send Miaolan back for me first, and when I come back, Ruoqing and I will also write." ”
Cheng Shaopeng couldn't see anything at all in these subtle movements, coupled with Chu Miaolan's continuous sadness, he nodded and said okay, and left with Chu Miaolan first.
One wife and one concubine or multiple wives, it is easier to deal with than two wives, Chu Miaoluo and Li Ruoqing both want to compete for superiority, and no one wants to tend to be inferior, although they are safe on the surface, but there are also a lot of stumbling blocks behind their backs, and now seeing that Cheng Shaopeng has gone away, Chu Miaoluo quickly let go of his hand, and Li Ruoqing also moved a step to keep a distance from her.
"Sister, you have to go down the stairs carefully, it's not good to fall and hurt your body, you haven't given birth to a son and a half daughter for your father-in-law, but even if you don't have children, someone will support you in the future." Chu Miaoluo watched Li Ruoqing walk over and said coldly behind her.
Li Ruoqing was not to be outdone, and looked back at her and smiled slightly, "Thank you sister for your concern, this is the middle of the night, Miaolan is not young, let Xianggong send her back, sister, you are really relieved." ”
"Miaolan is my sister, I have nothing to worry about, but it's your sister, it's good to be optimistic about your feet." Chu Miaoluo snorted, Li Ruoqing walked down the steps, looked back at her, and said with a meaningful smile, "That's not necessarily." ”
