"This is called the work of heaven and the work of sin, which is forgivable, and the iniquity of oneself, and the one who does not live." Tong Xue wanted to applaud when she heard it, didn't this shopkeeper just bully the Xu family without adult support, and now it can be regarded as lifting a stone and hitting her own feet, and she suffered it herself, Tong Xue felt that she could almost foresee the miserable future of this shopkeeper, "It's not good to be a shopkeeper, and think about some crooked ways all day long, which leads to today's evil consequences." ”

Especially compared with the previous shopkeeper Liu, the shopkeeper Liu saved a restaurant on the verge of bankruptcy, not only good, but also more and more famous, making more and more money, but this shopkeeper made Xianlai Pavilion in its heyday like this, and the courage of the means is obvious.

is far better than Shopkeeper Liu in terms of crooked thinking, "But he himself runs a prosperous restaurant like that, and the people who come to the Zhou family will deal with him, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Tong Xue sorted out the luggage of the Xu brothers and sisters, and then saw the very good preserved chili peppers, although I heard them say that they brought the chili peppers, but after seeing it clearly, the classmates were still very moved by the two children's serious and careful packaging, "You brought so many things along the way, remember to help me bring seeds, I worked hard along the way." ”

Xu Wenda happily put away the chili peppers, "I told your eldest brother a few days ago, I didn't find it in the market in Yuzhou, and I was thinking about whether to go to Shopkeeper Liu to buy some more, so you brought it." ”

After Xu Wan and Xu Wenda followed Tong Xue around the courtyard a few times, they heard Xu Wenyuan ask, "Isn't my sister-in-law making mushrooms?" ”

Tong Xue smiled and shook her head, "The technology of cultivating mushrooms, I am not as good as you, you have been working for a long time, and you know more about the habits of mushrooms, I am also very good at mouth, I really let me do it, but it is not as good as the two of you who have grown it." ”

Of course, the main reason is that Tong Xue received a large order from the Zhou family, if it weren't for the two maids who were recruited later, Tong Xue would probably have to work and make wine at night.

Fortunately, now the Zhou family has built their own distilled liquor workshop according to the idea she proposed, and if they get the goods from there, they can get a large amount of the same concentration of liquor as Zuixian Brew, but after all, it is not as good as Zuixian Liquor.

Therefore, the order volume on her side is also very large, and she will definitely have to expand the scale in the future, and she has no time to care about the interests of mushrooms, "The Zhou family wants a very large amount of wine, and they can't be busy at all, so they don't go to this aspect." ”

At this time, Jade reported that Yan Niang was coming, and Yan Niang's fat powder shop came in for a very good business, of course, Yan Niang's things are good in one aspect, mainly because Yan Niang once served in the palace, which is very gimmicky.

Especially in Yuzhou, a place far away from the emperor of the sky, many people are still very interested in the legendary court life, although they can't experience it in person, but the rouge gouache used by those nobles in the palace, they can also use it as long as they spend money, and vanity is satisfied at once.

Therefore, Yan Niang's shop can be said to have set off a trend in Yuzhou, and if she didn't buy something in her shop for a while, it seemed that she couldn't catch up with the trend in Yuzhou, so the business was so good that it flew up.

So Tong Xue and Yan Niang haven't seen each other for a few days, even if they met, they were all in a hurry, and then they separated, today I heard that something big happened in Tong Xue's family, Yan Niang came over, "I heard that Wan'er and they are coming, so I came over to have a look." ”

Tong Xue said with a smile, "Then stay for dinner, and give them a breeze today." ”

"That's nature."

Yan Niang sat down next to Xu Wan when she saw Xu Wan according to her previous habits, and saw the purse hanging from Xu Wan's waist out of the corner of her eye, embroidered with a lotus flower, with the formation she had taught, it looked lifelike, but it was skilled, Yan Niang asked, "Is the purse on Wan'er's body embroidered by herself?" ”

Xu Wan glanced down and thought of her fiancΓ© Su Heng who was far away in Qingzhou, she should have embroidered two purses, different colors, the same pattern, she kept one, and gave Su Heng one, when she heard Yan Niang ask, she couldn't help but think of the person, and then nodded, "Yes." ”

Yan Niang smiled and narrowed her eyes, and then glanced in the direction of Tong Xue several times, "I am very relieved to see you so fruitful, I saw Mrs. Xu learning so hard before, I thought I was not teaching well, and it was really not my problem." ”

Tong Xue listened to this ridicule and didn't take it to heart, but she felt that she was really very talentless, after all, she and Xu Wan started to learn embroidery together, although Xu Wan didn't learn ten out of ten, but at least eighty percent of it, but you are afraid that you haven't even learned half of the skills.

Hearing Yan Niang's naming words, of course, she couldn't say nothing, "People are listening here, even if it's a fact, you don't need to say it so bluntly." ”

Yan Niang covered her mouth and snickered for a long time, "When you can embroider an orchid that doesn't look like a trumpet flower, I won't say anything." ”

Yan Niang didn't say it, she was about to forget her black history of embroidering orchids, now it's okay, everyone remembers it, look at the size of this table, and it's very hard to hold back a smile.

can amuse others, at least she learned embroidery and didn't get nothing, Tong Xue thought very happily, "You can laugh if you want to, those who can't bear to look back on history, please don't talk about it." ”

Except for Wen Zhao, who looked at everyone a little confused, I don't know what accident they were laughing at, even Xu Jing secretly covered her mouth and was happy.

But fortunately, everyone didn't laugh for too long, and it didn't take long for Xu Wenzhao to pout, "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry." ”

"Since we're hungry, let's eat." Tong Xue immediately said, "I know that you must have eaten a lot of fish and shrimp along the way, but now you must not want to eat much, so I didn't let the kitchen cook it." ”

Because I had ordered the kitchen to do it before, the vegetables and fish were coming in at this time, and the table was full after a while, Xu Wenzhao rubbed the position next to Tong Xue, and Tong Xue introduced him while eating, "This glutinous rice pork ribs, as well as this cured meat, are very good, the barbecued pork and roast duck are very flavorful, and this white chopped chicken is also a feature, which is not the same as the way we cook and stew over there." Vegetarian dishes also have their own characteristics, Yuzhou is warm here, now this season, we can rarely see fresh vegetables on our side, there are still a lot of them here. ”

After all, in Yuzhou, Yuzhou's refreshments are very famous, Tong Xue also instructed Jade to buy some, watching Xu Wenzhao eat happily and feasting, Tong Xue couldn't help but remind, "Wait a minute, there are some after-dinner refreshments, they are all famous specialties here, the taste is very good, wait a minute, you have to leave some stomach to eat." ”

Xu Wenzhao caught a large piece of meat with his chopsticks, and when he heard Tong Xue's words, he suddenly became a little hesitant, whether he wanted to listen to his sister-in-law's words and eat dessert on an empty stomach, struggling for only three seconds, Xu Wenzhao didn't resist the temptation and ate it.

People who love food always have a very strong obsession with food, for example, normal people have only one stomach, and they can fill one stomach with another type of food after they are full in one stomach, so if they don't pay attention to it, they will eat it.

Xu Wenzhao frowned slightly, leaned back in the chair, reached out and touched his slightly bulging belly, and the food was really good.

Tong Xue looked amused, looked at Xu Wenzhao and said, "Do you want Jade to help you make a diet tea?" ”

Xu Wenzhao nodded like pounding garlic, "If you want it, sister-in-law, this meal is really delicious." ”

Tong Xue has always felt that she can save in other aspects, and she must eat well in eating, "Wen Zhao likes it, and we will eat it often in the future." It's not that hard. But in the future, you can't eat like today, remember what I told you before, don't be picky, can't overeat, it's best to eat eight points full. ”

Xu Wenzhao nodded hurriedly. "I know sister-in-law."

After drinking the consumption tea, Wan'er took Yanniang to study the problem of embroidery, and Xu Wenyuan and Xu Wenzhao were also called away.

Xu Wenyuan looked at Xu Wenzhao, who was sitting there lazily, and beckoned, "Okay, now that you're full of food and drink, come with me." ”

As soon as Xu Wenzhao heard Xu Wenyuan's voice, he reflexively leaned on the stool, and then immediately sat straight, straight and upright, like Tong Xue's previous military training sitting posture.

Tong Xue watched from the sidelines, and she couldn't be happy. Xu Wenzhao stood up with a sad face and looked in the direction of Xu Wenda, and then looked at Tong Xue, the little eyes were pitiful, as if he was going to experience some kind of torture, his expression of pleading was overflowing, and his voice was squeamish, "Sister-in-law......"

Tong Xue dared to guarantee that the second half of the sentence that was swallowed by Xu Wenzhao must have saved me, but it was because Xu Wenda was still here, so he didn't say it.

Tong Xue waved her hand at Xu Wenzhao and motioned for Xu Wenzhao to follow, at that moment, Tong Xue saw that the hope in Xu Wenzhao's eyes faded little by little, and then became an expression of death, if he didn't know that it was his eldest brother who asked him to go, he would have thought that he was an enemy for eight lifetimes.

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenda, who had a dark face, and smiled very happily, "I can't help you this time, Wen Zhao should follow." ”

I don't know what Xu Wenda said to his two younger brothers, but by the time they came out again, it was already night.

When she returned to her room in the evening, Tong Xue helped Xu Wenda take off the clothes on her body and said, "Wen Zhao is still a child, why is he so strict with him, he has been playing on the road for so many days, and it will take a while to collect his heart." ”

"I just know that he can't accept it for the time being, so I help him collect it." Xu Wenda sighed, "Although he is a child, he is also a half-grown child, and this child's temperament is lively now, but sometimes he feels too lively." ”

Tong Xue thinks that it is right for children to be like this, at this age in the era in which she lives, at most she is in elementary school, Tong Xue feels that Xu Wenzhao is already a very sensible child, "Boys are like this, they were born a little more eastern, and they will be sensible when they grow up." ”

"Wen Yuan and I weren't like this when we were children, but it's much more stable than this." Xu Wenda frowned slightly, as if he disagreed with Tong Xue's point of view, "Wen Zhao is a clever man, of course I still hope that he can grow up well." ”

Stable? Tong Xue glanced at Xu Wenda strangely, according to Tong Xue's understanding, Tong Xue deeply felt that Xu Wenda was born a sullen person, and he didn't like to express himself to the people around him, so he naturally seemed stable.

Seeing that Xu Wenda was full of expectations for Xu Wenzhao, Tong Xue couldn't help asking, "Do you want Wenzhao to be an official like you?" ”

Seeing Tong Xue's stunned expression, Xu Wenda asked, "What?" You don't like it? ”

Tong Xue thought for a while and said, "I can't say I don't like it, but I just have a feeling that I can't put it into words, and I don't like it much." Maybe there are many people who want to have more capable people in the family, go down in history, and make a name for themselves or something, but I still think that the most important thing is for the whole family to be safe and sound. ”

Then Tong Xue glanced at Xu Wenda and said, "I draw a conclusion from you, being an official is also very risky." But no matter whether I will be an official in the future or not, I still think that it is appropriate to learn to be reasonable. ”

Xu Wenda said, "It will take many years for Wen Zhao to take the imperial examination, and the court situation will definitely be stable by then." Whether you want to be an official or not, it depends on Wen Zhao's own decision. But now, the requirements are still strict. ”

Xu Wenda and Tong Xue looked at each other and smiled, and then Xu Wenda reached out and hugged Tong Xue, the strength in his hand was a little big, it was obvious that Xu Wenda was very excited at this moment, "Madam, I'm very happy that they can come today." ”

Xu Wenda remained calm all day today, and when he was no longer in front of his younger brothers and sisters at night, he showed his true mood in front of Tong Xue. In the past, when his younger brothers and sisters were at home, Xu Wenda often felt missing, but now that he sees it, he knows how strong the feeling of wanting the family to be together is.

Tong Xue leaned softly on Xu Wenda's body, reached out to hug Xu Wenda's waist, put her ear on his chest, and felt Xu Wenda's heartbeat, "You are just holding it in front of them, posing like a cold big brother, and now that you are relaxed, you are in a mood." ”

Xu Wenda said, "The eldest brother is like a father, my parents died, I should not only play the role of the eldest brother, but also their parents, after all, I must be stricter to be majestic." ”

Tong Xue thought of Xu Wenzhao's tearful appearance today, and when she heard that the eldest brother was going to check her homework, she almost cried, "You are majestic, you talk loudly at home, look at Wenzhao's poor little appearance, as if you are going to eat him, pitiful, it makes people's hearts melt."
