Chapter 288: Cousin

Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao glanced at each other, and they both heard that the person in the store was He Weiwei. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Yao's little cousin He Weiwei.

When her father's exile was washed away by the sea, He Weiwei, whose mother remarried, has been living in the Liu family because of the second wife. Liu Yao entered Beijing as an official, and when the Liu family settled in Beijing, He Weiwei was also brought into Beijing by the second lady.

He Weiwei has been with the second lady since she entered Beijing, and after Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi got married, she was also a mother-in-law who also thought about stuffing He Weiwei's little cousin into her son as a concubine. However, this idea was resisted by the whole family, and Liu Yao and his wife were resolutely unable to agree. The old lady and the second master Liu felt that the child's father framed their old Liu family to sell salt back then, but when he didn't succeed, he killed himself. To a certain extent, the Liu family is still He Weiwei's enemy who 'sees death and does not save her'. How could the Liu family let such a bomb be placed next to their son.

The second lady and He Weiwei didn't know if they really understood, or if they gave up because they didn't have the right to speak. Anyway, I didn't talk about it again.

After the second lady entered Beijing, she was still the same as when she was in Shanshui County, meeting four or five friends every day, and a group of middle-aged women who had nothing to do to buy, buy, eat, drink, and chat about gossip.

Waiting for He Weiwei and Lu, the second lady and the kind-hearted second master listed several candidates for marriage to He Weiwei.

The young talents known to the good friends in Beijing on the list given by the second lady are either lifting people or showing talents, or they are now petty officials by relying on their family connections. In short, He Weiwei, who has no background, can become an official wife immediately or in a few years.

The list given by the second master is also a group of young talents known by friends in Beijing, but most of them are the children and nephews of the cooperative merchants' families. With such a lot of gold and silver, there is no need to worry about it for the rest of his life.

The two parties were selected by He Weiwei and his predecessor, but what people didn't expect was that He Weiwei did not choose the family listed by the second lady who could be the wife of the official family, but chose the rich family that Liu Erye found.

At that time, everyone in the Liu family was thinking that this girl's brain was caught by the door.

After that, He Weiwei happily, like many children of Second Master Liu, took a dowry of several thousand taels of silver and directly married another woman.

got married, had children and daughters, and slipped down in a row, He Weiwei is now a little woman with a son and two daughters.

Over the years, in addition to visiting the second lady during the New Year's holiday, He Weiwei has asked Uncle Liu twice with the silver to take care of her husband's business, and she is really like an ordinary relative.

Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao took the two children into the door and saw the brightly dressed He Weiwei beckoning the little girl in the shop to pack things.

"My Chen'er likes to eat ice powder the most, you put less honey, he doesn't like it too sweet. Two more double-skinned milk for the two girls, forget it, bring one to the door-slamming ghost too! Remember to put ice in the food box, it won't taste good without coolness. ”

A little woman of a similar age next to He Weiwei also beckoned the little girl to pack the things to bring to the family.

"Young Master, Young Madam, two Young Masters Sun, you are here." The shopkeeper who was facing the door saw four people coming in and hurriedly walked over to greet them.

He Weiwei heard the voice and turned around and saw the four of them coming over with a smile, "What a coincidence, my cousin and sister-in-law also came to eat, and I also brought some back for the three children today, and they have been talking for a long time." The stars and prosperity are also coming, let my cousin take a look, this palace and Xishan Academy are raising people. Look at this bearing, all of them look like little adults. ”

Fanxing and Xiao Fanfang smiled in unison and said, "Hello cousin." ”

He Weiwei nodded and motioned to the maid behind her to come forward, found two sets of four treasures in the study, handed them to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Your cousin is also going to school, and my cousin came to buy things for him, and I happen to buy them for you, and I don't know if you are used to them?" Don't be disgusted. ”

Fanxing and Xiao Prosperity took the things, shook their heads again and again and said no.

Du Xiaoxi knew that the two children were uncomfortable when they saw their serious appearance, and immediately said: "The stars are prosperous, you go and see what to bring to grandma and grandpa, and I will talk to your cousin." ”

He Weiwei walked up to Du Xiaoxi and took her arm and smiled: "That's a good relationship, I just have something to tell my cousin." ”

Seeing this, Liu Yao walked up to his two sons and said slowly, "I'll follow them to have a look." ”

Du Xiaoxi walked to the side and sat down, and He Weiwei and the little woman who was with her also sat down.

He Weiwei said warmly: "Cousin-in-law, this is my neighbor Mrs. Bai, the family is in the cloth business, you can help with anything in the future." ”

Du Xiaoxi smiled and nodded with Mrs. Bai.

The little girl in the store sent three bowls of sour plum soup, and Du Xiaoxi gently stirred it with a spoon. remembered He Weiwei's action of supporting her waist just now, "What is wrong with your body?" ”

He Weiwei wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at her stomach quite proudly, "My family Chen'er is going to have another younger brother, and it will be three months soon, and I want to tell you in a few days, I just met today." ”

"Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

He Weiwei touched her stomach with a happy face, "I hope that this baby is a male baby, so that Chen'er can have a companion like the stars and prosperity." ”

He Weiwei married into the Wei family and gave birth to three children, the eldest and the third are girls, and the middle is a boy, and now she is pregnant with her fourth child, which is absolutely prolific compared to Du Xiaoxi.

The mother-in-law ridiculed Du Xiaoxi a lot because of this, and Du Xiaoxi still secretly contracepted with a straight face. Now that Xiao Prosperity is stable in the academy, Du Xiaoxi began to prepare for pregnancy, and urged Liu Yao to drink less alcohol at the poetry club when he was out of the hospital, and he must ensure the quality and quantity of the little tadpoles.

Du Xiaoxi looked at He Weiwei who was smiling and talking non-stop, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, who would have thought that the little white flower girl who was attached to her mother-in-law to survive would be like this when she grew up.

The three of them drank almost the same sour plum soup, and He Weiwei smiled and said goodbye with her friends.

Xiao Prosperity, who had eaten a lot of ice willfully, rushed over and hugged Du Xiaoxi and coquettishly: "Mother, have you eaten well?" Let's go eat roast duck, shall we? The last time Xiao Prosperity ate was two months ago, and he hasn't eaten for two months, so pitiful, so pitiful! ”

Liu Yao came over with the stars, and couldn't help but say after listening to his youngest son's words: "It's as if I and your mother are abusing you." ”

"Not really! Daddy is good for little prosperity! Let's go eat roast duck! Roast duck! Roast duck duck! ”

Liu Yao instructed the guys in the store to send the ordered things home, and then took the three of them out. "Let's go! Go to Telford House! ”

Little Prosperity cheered, "Eat roast duck!" Daddy, you're the best! ”

He Weiwei, who had just walked out, couldn't help but laugh when she heard the cheers in the store.

Actually, she has lived well enough over the years. Compared with her uncle who lives in her hometown, she is what others call Miss Jiao.

At the beginning, because of her father's death, she hated and complained, but after a long time, she saw more people and gradually understood.

There were two turning points in her life, and she always considered her most successful place.

The first time was when her father died, and after her mother remarried, she ran to her aunt's house alone, begging her aunt for mercy and taking her in. In this way, after her grandfather died, she was spared the fate of being sold by her uncle. The second time is when a husband is chosen.

At that time, many people persuaded her to choose the young son of a family with a better future introduced by her aunt, and she could also be an official wife in the future. Instead, she chose the children of a business friend that her uncle was looking for.

After following her aunt for a few years, she understood that among the masters of the Liu family, her aunt was nothing, and she was not even as good as a daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door. The reason for all this is simply that the gap between the two is too big, and my uncle's family looks down on my aunt from the bottom of their hearts.

He Weiwei longs for a rich life, and like his aunt, he becomes a rich and noble person who is envied by everyone in the village. But she didn't want to be like her aunt, who married into a family for decades and was nothing. So, He Weiwei chose the children of merchants who were closer to her.

It turns out that she is right, now that the child is sensible and obedient, and her husband respects and loves her, she is happier than most women in Beijing. And those people introduced by my aunt back then, or they have been promoted to petty officials with real power, and their wives have also become official wives. I heard that one by one, the official wives faced the warblers and Yanyan at home, and there were many beautiful concubines. He Weiwei is very satisfied with her current life.

Happiness has always been like drinking water, knowing one's warmth and coldness.

……

There are many big businessmen and water, and there are many people who raise ducks and geese. Correspondingly, in terms of eating, these two things account for a large proportion of meat. The ratio is greater, and the odds of foodies researching food are also greater.

Tokufu House is the most famous seafood meat shop in Kyoto, and the four treasure goose, six treasure fish, and eight treasure duck are all famous in Beijing. Stars and prosperity love to eat.

"Guest upstairs, please!" The shopkeeper threw off the white cloth towel, bent over and smiled, and led the four of them to the second floor.

The third and fourth floors of Telford Building are private rooms, and the second floor is a relatively private space separated by screens and flowers. went up to the second floor, Xiao Prosperity directly chose the location of the window facing the street and sat down.

"What do you want to eat objectively? We have everything we need to swim in the water, and these eight treasures ......"

The shopkeeper began to praise the food in his store with great interest. Xiao Prosperity directly opened his mouth to interrupt: "Stop!" I'm going to eat two ducks and one goose! One of the other signature dishes! ”

The shopkeeper saw that Xiao Prosperity was a child who had not grown all his hair, and turned his head and smiled at the man who was obviously the head of the family, "Look? ”

Liu Yao coughed lightly, "A roast duck, an eight-treasure duck, a four-treasure goose, a six-treasure fish, two side dishes, and a soup." ”

The shopkeeper kept his smile unchanged, "Okay! Objectively, wait a minute! ”

The shopkeeper ran away, and Xiao Prosperity stuck out his tongue, "Isn't this different?" Dislike! ”

Fanxing was a quiet and well-behaved person sitting next to Du Xiaoxi. Xiao Prosperity was just the opposite, grabbing the window seat, and as soon as the shopkeeper left, he stood up and looked out of the window.

Liu Yao sighed and grabbed his back belt for fear that he would climb out.

"Daddy! You see there are monkeys over there, wait until you're full, okay? ”

"Good!"

"Yikes! There's a kid in the top vat! Excellent! I'm going too! ”
