Chapter 124: Inquiring

Wu Zhaorong was relieved to hear that she was willing to take the paper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The paper tie is time-consuming and laborious, and it will be all burned by then, it is a thankless job, she is worried about this, but she did not expect the sister-in-law to undertake it obediently.

"Okay, let's do it." She replied cheerfully.

Shen Yueran saw that the matter was settled, got up to say goodbye, Wu Zhaorong sent her out of the door, and when she turned around to go back to the house, she saw a smiling old woman waving to her in the corner of the alley.

"Me?" Wu Zhaorong turned his head and saw that there was no one around, so he asked a little puzzled.

The old woman was already walking slowly with the support of the girl beside her.

"Yes, it's you, the old body wants to talk to you, I wonder if Mrs. is free?"

The old woman had a kind smile on her face, but her demeanor was compelling and extravagant.

******

"You want to inquire about the woman who just left?"

Wu Zhaorong looked the old woman up and down again.

The eyebrows and eyes are kind, and the silver hair on the sideburns is faint, but the round face does not have a trace of time.

She couldn't think of why such a noble lady would come to inquire about her strange sister-in-law.

The old woman obviously saw her doubts, and said with a smile, "Madame, don't be suspicious, the old man has eaten plum cakes in the suburbs of Beijing, and I happened to pass by today, and I saw that the girl was familiar, and it seemed to be the woman who sold plum cakes, so I came to ask." ”

Wu Zhaorong was excited, and he was about to step into the house with one foot.

"It turned out to be a plum cake. Tsk, there are many people who have eaten plum cakes, is it difficult to come and inquire? She said as she closed the door.

"Whoa." The girl next to the old woman was not happy.

"The old lady hasn't finished asking, what is your attitude?" The girl stretched out her hand to stop her.

Wu Zhaorong glanced at the girl and scolded, "I close the door of my house, what attitude do I need?" Dogs fight people. ”

The girl was annoyed.

"Why are you scolding ......," she fumed.

"Xichun!" The old woman shouted coldly and glanced at the girl.

The girl immediately shut up, but in the end, she was so angry that her little face turned red.

"Madam, it is true that the old body is abrupt. The old body is just curious, just ask casually, if the lady feels offended, the old body will leave. The plum cake can't be ordered, and there are other wedding cakes to order. As she spoke, the old woman lifted her feet and left.

Wu Zhaorong heard it clearly.

Although she has a lot of complaints about Shen Yueran, she supports her opening a cake shop in the suburbs of Beijing.

The sister-in-law can support herself, and her sister-in-law will save a lot of trouble, so why not?

Therefore, as soon as she heard about "ordering wedding cakes", she became interested.

"Oh, go slowly, what did you just say, do you want to order a wedding cake?" She stepped out of the threshold and asked.

The old woman didn't bother with her, stopped, and said, "Yes, there is a wedding feast at the house on the eighteenth day of May, and I have eaten that plum cake that is good, delicious, and shapely, so I came to ask." ”

Wu Zhaorong showed a bright smile.

"That's what happened, don't say it sooner! The woman who left just now was my sister-in-law Shen Yueran, and she opened the plum cake shop. Don't look at her young age, but the things she makes are quite standard. In addition to plum cakes, pickles, stews, cooking, and handicrafts, she is good at everything. Wu Zhaorong was afraid that this business would run away.

The old woman smiled and praised, "Miss Shen is really a clever, diligent and virtuous woman, not bad, not bad." Dare to ask Miss Shen Fangling? ”

Wu Zhaorong said, "It's twenty-two." ”

"Twenty-two?" The old woman couldn't help frowning, "Have you ever been married?" ”

In this dynasty, twenty-two is definitely an older woman.

Wu Zhaorong said, "No." So please rest assured, she is alone and will be able to deliver the wedding cake to the house on time. ”

The old woman asked again, "It is said that Miss Shen is beautiful and talented, and she is not worried about marriage, why is she still not out of the cabinet at such an age, but Madame doesn't worry about it?" ”

Wu Zhaorong glared, "What words?" I, who is a sister-in-law, is heartbroken for her, and she is unwilling to marry, so how can we blame her. ”

"Why don't you want to marry?" The old woman was even more amazed.

Only then did Wu Zhaorong realize that the old woman was afraid that the drunkard did not mean to drink.

She sank her face and said, "You just order the wedding cake, what do you do if the person who makes the cake marries or not?" It was she who swore a heavy oath at the beginning, saying that she would never marry for life, and that even if she married, she would not do housekeeping when she arrived at the man's house, and she would not be a female celebrity, or she would not enter the back kitchen. If you want to order bread, pay a deposit today, and I'll go back to her, and if you have other intentions, leave as soon as possible. ”

The girl beside the old woman was enraged again.

"You woman is really rude, you know she is ......," the girl was indignant.

"Xichun!" The old woman shouted again.

"That's okay, the old man asked too, so let's go back and discuss it first, and then come and tell Madame when there is a quasi-letter." The old woman said, and left with the girl.

Walking out of the alley, Xichun still had a straight face.

"Madame can really bear it! If it weren't for Madame's repeated stops, Xi Chunzhen would have fought with the woman in the market. I've never seen such a rude and greedy person, you haven't seen her eyes, as soon as you hear that she wants to 'order a wedding cake', her eyes are shining! Xichun muttered.

Liu Huilin's mind was not on Wu Zhaorong's body.

Twenty-two years old and still not married?

Vowed not to marry for life?

This Shen Yueran ......

She's going to have to check it out!

Xichun saw that Liu Huilin was thoughtful, and closed her mouth in a funny way, but she was still scolding in her heart, it is not a family, if you don't enter a family, your sister-in-law is so vulgar, so how good can Miss Shen be? Even if she really becomes the young lady of the Wei Mansion when she turns around, she doesn't want to get half a benefit from her, a big girl!

******

Wu Zhaorong was about to go back to the house again when he heard the sound of a carriage.

"Zhaoyan is here." She smiled and trotted to greet her.

Wu Zhaoyan stepped down from the carriage and looked in the direction where the old woman had left.

"Who is that woman?"

He sat in the carriage and passed the old woman. He only felt familiar, but he was not sure.

"Who knows? said that he was here to order wedding cakes, but he kept asking questions and didn't know what to do. ”

Wu Zhaorong saw how his brother was pleasing to the eye, and hurriedly took the letter in Wu Zhaoyan's hand and smiled.

"Come next time, don't pick up any more things, my sister has everything here." She said.

Wu Zhaoyan still looked in the direction of the old woman's departure, and said absentmindedly, "I don't want to take it either, my mother has to let me bring it." ”

"Oh." Wu Zhaorong was a little embarrassed.

"What did the old woman ask?" Wu Zhaoyan asked again.

Wu Zhaorong said, "I just asked about the plum cake and the Shen family's girl or something." Come, come into the house with my sister and sit down. ”

Shen family girl?

Wu Zhaoyan's heart moved.

The sisters and brothers entered the house together, Wu Zhaorong gave up her seat again, and made tea, before Shen Yueran came, she only sat still, but at this time she couldn't wait to take out all the treasures hidden in the house. (To be continued.) )
