Chapter 56: Collapse
Pei Shi pulled Xu Yourong with one hand, touched Xu Youshan's head with the other hand, and asked them if they had had breakfast, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan both shook their heads, Pei Shi ordered Liu Ru to set the table, and Liu Ru personally went to the big kitchen to bring back the bird's nest porridge, which turned out to be for three people.
"I knew you two would be coming early this morning, so I ordered the big kitchen last night to get them ready early this morning. Chen'er couldn't come back at night because the old lady took a few of their brothers to visit the suburb of Old Master Mei yesterday, so they stayed there for the night. After speaking, Pei's eyes were slightly fixed on Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan......
Some things, when you give up for the first time, you think that you have broken off cleanly, but you can walk in a trance of years, and one day time will still tell you what it is indifferent. And maybe just a pebble inadvertently fell into a pool of lake that was already as calm as a mirror, and it could make the surface of the lake crack like a shattered mirror, and people would step on it, and the flesh and blood would be blurred.
But there's nothing wrong with that...
Pei Shi clenched Xu Yourong's hand and gently rubbed Xu Youshan's hair, and Pei Shi smiled at the confused gaze of the two of them.
No matter how deep you bury it, the wound will only fester.
Why don't you just leave it in the sun!

Originally, when Xu Youshan began to go to Sheng'an Xuan to enroll, Pei's family first took Xu Yourong and Xu Chen to Mrs. Qi every morning to ask for peace, and then took them back to the Early Autumn Pavilion to go to Sheng Anxuan with Xu Youshan.
But due to the "special circumstances" in the past month, Xu Youshan, Xu Yourong, and Xu Chen went directly to the early autumn pavilion early in the morning to wait for Pei's, and when Pei's family, who made Xu Youshan and the three of them frightened even if they were smiling, wanted to take Xu Yourong and Xu Chen to Qinhuatang to ask Mrs. Qi for peace, Xu Youshan would go to Sheng'an Xuan first.
And it was also appropriate for Pei's silence during this period of time, so that Pei's no longer insisted that Xu Yourong and Xu Chen go to Sheng'an Xuan with Xu Youshan so much.
The same is true today, after Pei's family, Xu Yourong, and Xu Youshan finished using the bird's nest porridge, Xu Youshan went to Sheng'an Xuan by herself, and Pei's took Xu Yourong to Qinhuatang.
Sheng An Xuan
It was still that open house, outside the house was guarded by a group of maids led by Jiaoxi, and Xu Youshan sat alone in the room where the four doors were closed, and it was very warm.
"How's the progress over there?"
It was not Mother Liu who accompanied Xu Youshan to Sheng Anxuan today, but Wu Lin's family. And Chu Dai was guarding the east gate closest to Xu Youshan.
"If you go back to Miss, the layout and personnel of the restaurant have been prepared, and we are waiting for you to pick a good day to open." Wu Lin said.
A month ago, Wu Chou first concealed from Wu Lin's family and asked her to sign the shop on Duanju Street, and then informed Wu Lin's that he found out that the shopkeeper of the Budrunk Building was Jiang Chunjin's big shopkeeper - wine. Later, he persuaded Wu Lin to join him in the first and second play, so that Xu Youshan was forced to agree to his decision.
This was originally something that Xu Youshan couldn't tolerate, but Pei's let Xu Youshan disrupt everything he had prepared before, even if Wu Wei arrived at Xu's mansion early the next morning, Xu Youshan didn't take care of it, and it wasn't until two days later that Xu Youshan asked Uncle Wu, who was as anxious as an ant on a pot, to bring Wu Chou.
That day, in fact, Xu Youshan didn't say anything serious, but just explained and asked Wu Chou to hand over the matter of the restaurant to Wu Chou, and Wu Chou was already shocked and white-faced
And Xu Youshan was really worried about other things, and Wu Wei really thought that she wanted him to take over the restaurant, so she actually started doing things very seriously a few days ago. But Wu Wei, an honest man, how could he fight the old fritters on the street, and he suffered a lot of losses in two days, and his face turned green.
Uncle Wu and Wu Lin's family, and even Wu Chou looked at Wu Chou like this, anxious, and in the end, Wu Chou personally went to Xu Youshan to plead guilt-
"Miss, Wu Chou really knows that he is wrong, I should be the one who will get a thousand cuts, please raise your noble hand!" Wu Chou's two ribs that were broken by Liu's mother were not healed, and at this time, he knelt on the ground alone, and his eyes were full of pain.
But Xu Youshan's head hurt even more.
"Would you be wrong? You won't, you're so big with your hands and eyes that your heart is so big that you swallow an elephant, so what's not to do? ”
People who can succeed are never as long as they have the ability and good brain. Luck, opportunity, and even nobles are indispensable, otherwise how could Wu Chou, who was too smart, be mixed in this huge imperial capital for so many years, and still be the one who is still struggling at the bottom?
"Miss, it's my heart that has been blinded by lard, and I can't see the opportunity you gave me clearly, please, you can punish me as much as you want, please let my eldest brother go back."
"Wu Chou, I gave you a chance, and I can give it a second or third time, but I want to ask you, does your life also have a second and third article?"
“……”
Xu Youshan didn't want to let Wu Chou go at all, what she prepared for him was a big play. But now there are more important people who make Xu Youshan worry, so it can only be like this. But didn't she choose Wu Chou because she took a fancy to his weakness of valuing his family, and now it seems that this is not only his weakness, but also his life, so what else is she afraid of?
As for the matter of the restaurant, in fact, as Wu Chou said, he staggered the main source of customers from the non-drunk building at the beginning, and the non-drunk building is indeed a big picture, so their restaurant is not a threat to the non-drunk building at all, and the non-drunk building can't pay attention to them.
So the restaurant is still open.
……
……
"Okay, today we will flip through the yellow calendar and see which day is suitable." Xu Youshan handed the stove in her hand to Wu Lin's and took the new stove in her hand that had been refilled with frost and silk carbon.
"Yes, miss." Wu Lin said.
"No, let him come to the Zhengyan Pavilion in person one day." Xu Youshan thought about it, but said to Wu Lin's family: "I have something to ask him." ”
Indeed, Xu Youshan has some things that need to be asked to Wu Chou clearly, such as Jiang Chunjin's big shopkeeper - wine.
Wu Lin obviously knew what Xu Youshan was talking about, so he hurriedly responded.
"Miss Rong."
The voices of the maids sounded outside the door, and it was Xu Yourong who came.
"Big sister."
Xu Youshan looked at the people behind the open door and got up to call.
"Second sister." The voice was not warm, but as I said earlier, Xu Yourong would return the salute to Xu Youshan.
"Yo, you two came first."
"Miss Xiang, Miss Yin." Now, everyone is here.
Xu Youshan and the four of them saluted each other again before they sat down, but Xu Youshan sat alone, and Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Mingwen were still very strong in their own small world.
"Tomorrow is the ancestor's birthday, did my cousin say anything?" Xu Mingcheng and Xu Mingwen have always followed Xu Yourong and called the old princess of Beiding the ancestor.
"Say what?" Looking at Xu Mingcheng, Xu Yourong frowned.
"Don't pretend to be confused, it's just that your aunt won't take her with you." Xu Mingcheng pouted in the direction of Xu Youshan.
