Chapter 40: Advance and Retreat (1)

Siniang carried the peach blossom cake and went directly into the Yumantang.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Wu Niang greeted her with a smile, "The fourth sister came back well, the peach blossom cake sent by my grandmother has just arrived, and the second aunt still thinks that you love to eat." ”

"Peach blossom crisp?" She looked puzzled, reluctantly smiled back and went directly into the main hall.

At this moment, the main hall is full, the people in the second room of the long room are there, even the big man who sleeps in the willows all day is also sitting seriously, the eldest lord's face is gloomy, the second lord's brows are tightly locked, and he has changed his previous look calmly, Chen's face is very close, You Shi's smile towards his daughter is very far-fetched, and the peach blossom crisp on the table is full of sweetness, and it is still tempting.

"Uncle and aunt, father and mother, daughter is back." Siniang restrained her expression and saluted everyone present one by one.

"Your mother is thinking of you, the peach blossom cake sent by Changfeng Hall is still hot." Chen personally brought it over.

Seeing this, Siniang postponed again and again in fear, "How dare you bother your mother's automated, it's really a pain in your niece, your kindness, the younger generation should not have postponed, but there are uncles and aunts, fathers and mothers, and big brothers and sisters here, how can Siniang taste it first according to personal preference?" I can only thank my aunt again for her love. ”

Siniang bowed humbly, "Fangcai, I am fortunate to be rewarded by my grandmother for tasting, and Siniang can no longer occupy the elders", she said and presented a copy she brought back, "Grandmother gave it, and the craftsmanship of the seventh sister is very appreciated by her old people." ”

"Seven...... Younger sister? Sanniang was the first to jump out and ask.

"The third sister doesn't know, Su Muli is ranked seventh, and my grandmother said that according to our sisters, follow Qiniang." Siniang glanced at Sanniang's overly eager eyes, and sighed secretly.

In this draft, the general's mansion decided that she and Sanniang would run together with such a sister, and she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

She ...... She is just a country dweller, why is she worthy of our sisters? Sanniang was anxious, "Father, father, grandmother must have been deceived by her!" ”

The eldest lord did not say anything, and his face was gloomy and frightening.

Wu Niang looked at the bruises under the eyes of the eldest man, and a trace of joy flashed in her heart.

Recently, my father became so angry that his grandmother was critically ill and had a recurrence of his old illness, and his chest pain worsened at night, and he couldn't sleep all night.

"Third sister, don't worry." Wu Niang stepped forward to comfort, "This matter is very important, and my father and second uncle have their own conclusions." She half-jokingly mentioned: "Isn't there still a big brother?" He still has Yujinfang in his hand! ”

During this time, everything in the house was not going well, and the Yujin Fang in Dalang's hand had not yet had time to be handed over to the second room to take care of.

Siniang frowned when she heard this, why did Wuniang say this at this time?

"Yes, there's also Yujinfang." Sanniang's spirits perked up, "Father, you must not recognize this demon girl!" She looked excited, "Otherwise, the Yujinfang in the hands of the eldest brother, as well as the shops and houses in the city, will be hers, you and the second uncle have worked hard for all these years, and then the road will be handed over to others in vain?" ”

Siniang suddenly realized that the Liujin shop on Yujinfang and East Street, as well as the general's mansion where the mansion is now lived, are all three-room properties, recognize Qi Niang, all of these will be her dowry, no wonder the father and uncle make things difficult for Qi Niang, it turns out that they are afraid that the income from many years will become her wedding dress.

Siniang glanced at Wu Niang, who lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, and was vigilant, she broke her words, and her scheming was deep and should not be underestimated.

"Nonsense!" The eldest lord scolded, "This family, when will it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks?" Thinking of what Sanniang has done these days, he is even more annoyed, when did the daughter under Chenghuan's knees become so coquettish and rude.

"Your good daughter!" The eldest man gasped and scolded the Chen family on the side.

"Master......" Chen's words are related.

"Big brother, don't be angry, Sanniang is also thinking about the house, the child is still young, just teach it slowly." The second master is doing peacemaking things.

Still young? It's already over, and it's still so rude!

The eldest lord glared at Chen again.

Sanniang was unwilling, but she still didn't dare to say anything in the end, so she shook off Wuniang's hand and sat back resentfully.

"Big brother, what do you think about this?" The second room lord asked.

You Shi on the side was secretly anxious, although Sanniang's words were ugly, but every sentence was true, that woman could not become the daughter of the third brother even if she was very good, otherwise, the power she still had in her hands would have to be spent by others.

The eldest man coughed twice in a low voice, but did not answer immediately.

These days, he has a lot of sadness in the old illness, and even a big bowl of bitter medicine has no effect to drink, and he feels like he can't get out of breath when he is in a hurry, and he himself understands that this illness is only afraid that it will be difficult to heal.

Over the years, the third brother has not been there, and Zhang Luo, who has been inside and out, is not only lacking, but also ...... is also tired, if his mother has three long and two short again this time, he doesn't want to live.

The next generation is older, and the eyes are also more, the restless Sanniang, the uncompetitive Dalang, one by one is not worrying, and the long house is only afraid that they will be defeated in their generation.

The third brother is not there, and the general's mansion is just a shell. Although the emperor's grace has been vast in recent years, the emperor has always forgotten to give a reward during the New Year's holidays in the past, but compared with the scenes of the past, they are just some skins.

If so, the third brother is still there...... How good is it......

The eldest man closed his eyes and sighed.

"Big brother?" The second master asked with concern.

"Second brother, I'm old and I've been sick, and you and your younger siblings still need to worry more about the things in the house in the future." The eldest lord paused and gasped twice, "The Su family's family business is a three-room business, and over the years, it's just that our brothers have been helping the third brother and three siblings take care of it, and now, it's time to return the three-room." ”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

"Father!" Sanniang stood up suddenly.

"Big brother......" The second master was also very surprised, and before he could speak, the eldest master waved his hand laboriously, signaling him not to ask, and then said: "When I was a child, my father started to do the cloth business, and he always squeezed to the port to buy goods before dawn, and then hurriedly carried a load of cloth around the streets of Cenzhou City to shout and sell. When I started the house, the days were very tight, my father was reluctant to spend two pennies to eat a bowl of somen noodles, and always had to wait until noon to carry the burden home to take two steamed buns to satisfy hunger. ”

The second master was sad, and although the others heard about the Su family's past for the first time, they all fell silent one by one.

Outside the window, the rain stopped at the beginning, and the faint spring sunshine was scattered little by little.
