Mrs. Chen stood outside the door and looked into the distance, and passers-by greeted each other from time to time, "What is my aunt looking at?" ”

"I must be missing her daughter!"

"Xi'en girl is a heroine-like character, our gourd tun is a little smaller after all!"

"Don't look at it, since you say that you will come back today, you will definitely come back, this summer is a poisonous day, if you are tired, you can't have a family relationship with your daughter." Shopkeeper Chen held his baby abacus in his arms and also came out to persuade his wife.

Yan Rui came out of the kitchen with sour plum soup and greeted his father, "I regret that my sister is busy, and since the current income of those shops in Fengze City is twice as much as ours, I am really convinced as a brother!" As he spoke, he smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and he came over and helped his mother into the room.

"Alas, we don't know where this blessing came from, I think it's better to go to the chessboard mountain to make a wish, and donate pen and incense and silver every year for three consecutive years, or simply re-mold a clay tire for the damaged Bodhisattva." Shopkeeper Chen has always disbelieved in gods and ghosts, but he suddenly became interested, and unintentionally fiddled with the abacus beads in his hand.

"The iron abacus has also been enlightened, do you blame my wife for being a god?" Mrs. Chen finally found a reason to refute, squinted her eyes, rolled her eyes and said sarcastically.

Yan Rui wiped his head "hehe" and smiled at his father and mother's bickering, this scene was never seen before. "Juanzi asked Xin'er yesterday, saying that her father went to the temple to forget it, the eight characters are combined, this autumn, otherwise it will be spring next year, and there will be no good time to miss it." Yan Rui said hesitantly, his square face was already as red as Guan Gong.

"It's time to do this, you can't let your daughter wait for a long time, it's like a year."

Mrs. Chen didn't answer her wife's words, lowered her head and thought about her thoughts, and sighed for a long time, "You see, we are not short of money, so we will come according to the most fashionable appearance." Don't be like when I married your Chen family, wearing a red wedding dress and a little donkey to pick people up. I want to carry my daughter-in-law in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and the dowry should also be loaded with sixteen lifts, which is almost the same, and you can just go if you have supplements, I have no opinion. ”

Yanrui thought that his mother would be a little unsatisfied, but he didn't expect that since it was so smooth, he was even more happy, grinning and smirking on the side.

"This matter still has to be discussed with Xi'en, and we can't just say it." Shopkeeper Chen "snapped" and flicked an abacus bead and added.

"My brother's lifelong event is naturally decided by the second elder, and I, the younger sister, just say "congratulations" and then wait for the candy to eat. Xi En, dressed in a lake-blue silk dress, floated in like a cloud, making the somewhat stuffy room feel a little cool. Yan Rui hurriedly took over and moved the bench for his sister, and when he turned around to pour water, he saw that Qingying had already brought water and put it on the table next to Miss.

"The little girl Qingying has seen the old man, the old lady, and the eldest young master." The green warbler surrounded everyone and was deeply blessed.

Mrs. Chen took a closer look, but saw Qingying's white silk top, a rose-red jacket, green pants dragged to the instep, and embroidered shoes with a pair of heavenly feet. Not smiling, the black pupils were clever, and he couldn't help but sigh, "What a Peugeot girl." ”

Xien smiled, "Don't praise her, like me, she is also a hairy girl who walks the streets and alleys to beg for food, and she is used to being flamboyant, so I want to sympathize with the same disease, and accept her as a companion for the time being." ”

Qingying stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and respectfully retreated to the young lady's side and stood up.

"This is the best, I also want to find you a companion every day, otherwise you are a girl mixed in the crowd, not to mention the hard work, I don't worry about no one to take care of. I look at this kid who fell in love with you. ”

Shopkeeper Chen kept nodding and praising on the side, "It's good, I have the eyesight, my hands are diligent, and I follow our daughter." ”

A few people discussed in detail what to do about Yanrui's marriage, how much silver they wanted, how many banquets they wanted, and so on. drew a rough pattern and let Yanrui run errands by himself. Yan Ruixian was still very happy, and when he heard that he was going to be busy, he was worried again, and he looked at his sister with a blank eye, and he actually asked for help.

"Don't look at me, I just have a heart, but I can't give birth to clairvoyance and ears after thousands of miles, right?" Xi'en tilted her head in amusement and looked at her brother's sad appearance.

"What do you say, where are you going?" In the end, Mrs. Chen was careful and heard that there was something in Xi'en's words.

"I'm coming back this time to discuss with the second elder, and now that our business is getting bigger, I'm thinking why don't I open a semicolon elsewhere. As the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and I don't know which year or month there will be seven disasters and eight disasters, we will not worry about survival. ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively scene immediately calmed down, and the shopkeeper Chen stroked his beard on his chest and pondered, "This idea is naturally good, but where is it going?" ”

"I look at it right now, why work so hard, isn't it enough for you to be busy with a few shops in Fengze County, look at the tired and thin like this." Mrs. Chen didn't know that Xi Engang had been sick for a few days, but she felt that her daughter had been reduced a lot when she came back, and she felt distressed when she pulled her thin little hand.

"What my mother said also makes sense, I am tired enough to choke on a few shops in Fengze City, but fortunately, they are all straightened out now, and there will be no place to go wrong in the future. The people in the shop are all old, and when I am not there, they will come regularly to report the accounts, and my brother can also go up and walk around from time to time, which is enough. ”

"Do you have to go?" Mrs. Chen listened to Xi'en's words, obviously she had made proper arrangements, and she was reluctant and sad in her heart, and her eyes turned red. ”

Xi En hurriedly moved to her mother's side and squatted down, leaning her cheek into her mother's arms, greedily enjoying this warm feeling. For many years, even in Baifu, I have never been so close to my mother. The beautiful and hesitant woman had lived in anticipation of her husband all her life, and she did not even think of parting the slightest bit to warm her young daughter under her knees.

"It's not that my daughter has to go, it's that I have a chance now, the fifth prince has something in Beijing and begged his daughter to go over, don't take this opportunity to open a semicolon, and then where will I find such a backer?"

What a smart person the shopkeeper Chen is, he knows the difficulties of opening the door to do business, not to mention taxes, which are what he has to pay. Even if you deal with the local ruffians and hooligans, you can boil the people with red eyes and white heads. At present, there is actually the backer of the five princes, that is, the Jade Emperor is like a Buddha, and even the prefect yamen has to look at it differently. Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Don't miss it!
