Chapter 233: Goddaughter
Wen Yan thought that she was walking sideways in her mother's house, humiliating the Li family a few times, and falling into her face fiercely. Unexpectedly, he was not only beaten by the Li family, but also received a training from Old Man Chen.
When she wanted to make trouble again, she was blocked back by Old Man Chen's words: "What qualifications do you have as a married girl to mix with your sister-in-law's affairs, I will send you back to Duan in a hurry. Family. ”
Wen Yan naturally refused to go back like this, and asked Old Man Chen to find Mura Zheng and others to come forward, and he had to let Duan Erhu come to Chen's house in person to apologize and pick her up in a sedan chair before he was willing to go back.
"Nonsense! What bastard words! When Old Man Chen heard Wen Yan's request, he was so angry that he put on crutches and immediately wanted to send her home.
Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to pull his sleeve, but Old Man Chen threw it off: "You stupid woman, how can you marry a girl to celebrate the festival at her mother's house, what does this make outsiders say about her!" Mrs. Chen wanted to say what happened to the festival at her mother's house, as long as her family didn't say it, no one else would dare to let out half a fart, and before the words reached her throat, she was dumb again.
Wen Yan was still whimpering, Sister Chun held the pine nut sugar melon in her hand, and walked around the bed in a circle, seeing that her mother was crying, she frowned, glanced at her mouth, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"How can you be so confused, if it weren't for you and indulging her, she would have become what she is today. The words she scolded the eldest daughter-in-law, if they reached the Duan family, you see what the Duan family would think of her. Not to mention using a sedan chair to pick it up, even if we carry eight sedan chairs and send them over, people may not open the door. ”
Old Man Chen's face sank, and his eyes swept to Old Lady Chen, who was holding a freshly boiled egg and rolling back and forth towards Wen Yan's face. Hearing Old Man Chen's words, he just wanted to refute it, thinking that although Wen Yan returned to his parents' house this time in the name of giving the August Festival gift, when he talked about the Duan family, he gritted his teeth even more than before. kept saying that it was not uncommon for the Duan family to come to pick it up, but after Qi Lin came back from the Duan family, the emptiness in his heart was revealed on his face.
"Don't wait for your face to be good, I'll send it tomorrow, and I'll say that my face fell by itself." Old Man Chen waved his sleeves.
Mrs. Chen figured it out as soon as she fell to her feet, she had the same mind as Old Man Chen, and she was afraid that it would be unsightly to make a big fuss. In order to know that Wen Yan's face is becoming more and more uneasy in the Duan family, no one outside knows it now, and Mrs. Chen said to the outside that Wen Yan will go back to her parents' house for a few days. It's all the son-in-law's idea, in order to let her accompany her father. Today, Wen Yan and the Li family are making a big fuss, how much land can Maoshan Village have. I'm afraid that this will spread all over the place. If there is really that person who loves to bite the root of his tongue, arranging Wen Yan behind his back to be arrogant and unreasonable, and going back to his parents' house as a married daughter to slander his sister-in-law, at that time, just like Old Man Chen said, I am afraid that the Chen family will carry eight sedan chairs and send them over, and the door of the Duan family may not be willing to open.
The next day, whether Wen Yan was willing or not. was sent back to Duan's house by Chen Zifu.
Sanfang delayed selling tofu for another day for the sake of the big house. Cai's complained to Li's: "After burying the mother-in-law's family, she came to bury her mother's house, giving a Buddha statue, and wanted people to offer it every day. Her temper is not changing, and the Duan family is unwilling to ask for it. ”
Li looked at Xue Ru and Xue Jiao, and whispered to Cai's: "She is the daughter of our Chen family, in case the Duan family is really a person with a daughter......
Cai's immediately understood what the Li family meant, she was thinking the same as the Li family, she hated Wen Yan in her heart, and she didn't want the Duan family to divorce her, and their daughters still wanted to get married.
Thinking of this, the Cai family didn't complain that Old Man Chen let Chen Zifu send Wen Yan home, Duan Erhu was a pure and kind person, and there were several brothers in the Yue family, and the people he was most willing to make friends with were Chen Xiucai and Chen Zifu. Old Man Chen asked Chen Zifu to send Wen Yan, so that the Duan family would not worry about Wen Yan for the sake of Zifu's face.
After Cai's left, Li sat under the window to reconcile, Xueru and Jinghao sat under Li's head, and Chen Xuejiao held a book and read it with relish.
Just two days after the workshop opened, the restaurants and vendors in the town came to make reservations, and after they visited the workshop, they did not hesitate to pay the deposit.
Not only the accounts of the workshop should be correct, but also the accounts of the embroidery workshop. In the past few days, the embroidery workshop has taken over two big businesses in Xuzhou Mansion, Magu Baishou and Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a willow bottle each three, the other party requires double-sided embroidery, with the best Shu brocade, inlaid with the best gold and silver threads, embroidered such a likeness, not to mention to earn fifty taels of silver.
Although Li has never studied, he has followed Chen Xiucai for so many years and has learned a lot of words. When he was in the boudoir, Mr. Li went out to do business, and the family reconciled accounts year by year. Mrs. Li knows how to calculate accounts, thinking that her daughter will marry in the future and will be a housekeeper, and she also taught Li to plan the plate.
Li's abacus played quickly, and he taught Xue Ru and Jinghao the accounts in a low voice while playing.
These two girls, who are fifteen years old this year, began to say goodbye, and since Chen Xiucai went home, many people came to the door to say goodbye to Xueru. When her daughter gets married, in addition to her husband and children, she must also be able to take care of housework, and she must first start with taking care of her accounts.
There is a begonia fancy four-grid box on the table, the stone is placed in the melon seeds, orange cakes, honey and other snacks, and there are a few pieces of osmanthus cake sent by dragonflies in the center, one by one exquisite yards, Chen Xuejiao pinched a piece while reading the book and took a bite, the dragonfly will make snacks, the osmanthus cake is a thick honey, Chen Xuejiao ate two pieces in a row, wiped her hands and drank two cups of tea, and continued to hold the book to read.
Li Shi glanced at Xue Jiao and smiled sweetly. This girl, she is a big ghost, don't look at her and don't look at the account books, the accounts of the workshop can't hide from her, where she makes money and where she loses, she is clear.
After all, it's a kid who likes to eat sweets like this.
It's just that she loves to read and has the same problem as her father.
But it's not a bad thing to love to read, Li has been opening shops, selling embroidery statues, and participating in them inside and out, and he no longer understands anything like before, but his horizons have become more and more broadened. She saw that outside, whether it was a restaurant or a shop, all of the ladies in charge were literate.
Xue Jiao can read and write, and her family is getting better and better, maybe she can marry into a wealthy family in the future.
These days, the Li family has paid more attention to Xueru, taught her to cook specialty dishes, taught her to behave in the world, and let her come to Xuejiao, after all, Xuejiao is still far from the age of marriage.
"Mother, what do you want?" Xue Jiao found Li smiling at herself, and couldn't help but ask.
"No, nothing." Li smiled lovingly.
"Mother, look at my account is right." Xue Ru handed over the ledger.
Li Shi browsed it and took it right, and Xue Ru pointed beside him: "...... This is the silk thread that Wang Laosan bought last time with an embroidered image, a total of one tael of silver, and this is a total of four taels of silver for the silk cloth of the Ma family's shop......"
Li Shi did the accounting, and when he saw that the accounts were not wrong, he nodded with satisfaction: "Xueru is becoming more and more capable." ”
Xue Ru couldn't help blushing when she heard her mother praise herself.
Today, Xue Ru is wearing a green gown, and a skirt of autumn fragrance underneath makes the whole person look whiter and taller.
Xueru has a soft temperament, and she is as tolerant as the Li family, seeing that she is about to say goodbye, the Li family is really afraid that Xueru will be as uneasy as her future in-laws and the Chen family, and she will not tolerate it herself, but she doesn't dare to let Xueru endure life like this. She thought like this, and calculated in her heart for a while, she didn't need much money at home, as long as her in-laws were open-minded, her aunts and sisters-in-law were harmonious, and the family lived a lively life.
Han Xingjian's mothers Zhou and Li showed their mouths before, wanting Xue Ru to enter the Han family as a daughter-in-law, but I don't know why they didn't mention this later, if the Li family of the Han family is a hundred willing, but they don't mention it, it's not good to let the woman come to the door.
Xue Jiao read the book for a while, suddenly thought of something, and said to Li: "It's the August Festival tomorrow, and the two workshops will be suspended for a day." ”
Li thought about it for a while, and felt that his daughter's words made sense, the August Festival was a day for family reunion, and everyone was delayed because they came to the workshop to work, if that was the case, I was afraid that the Chen family would be rumored to be mean to people outside.
"Mother, I heard that the restaurants and shops in the town will give the guys a gift every festival, you think we should give it too." Xue Jiao reminded Lee.
Li is a kind-hearted person, and it is not because she is reluctant to show this stubble, but because she has never done business before, so she naturally can't think of this layer. After hearing Xue Jiao say this, how could anyone be unwilling.
It just so happened that the stone went to the town to buy holiday supplies today.
"Let's send something." Xue Ru asked.
Chen Xuejiao thought for a while and said: "This festival should not be too heavy, if it is too heavy, it will fall into people's eyes, so one person will give a bag of moon cakes and a bag of honey and three knives." ”
Li frowned and thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, just follow what Xue Jiao said." ”
A pack of moon cakes and a pack of honey are only ten cents together, but they are already very good for rural people, and some poor families can count a pack of moon cakes as an August Festival.
"In the embroidery workshop, there are also one person with a pack of moon cakes and a pack of honey and three knives, and today I will add two more meat dishes to cook, and I am moving a jar of jasmine wine to let them have a reunion dinner." Xue Jiao also arranged the embroidery workshop.
Naturally, Lee agreed. The embroidery workshop is full of lonely people, such a reunion festival, for them even more lonely, fortunately, they can eat together, it can be regarded as a reunion festival.
After a while, the stones came from the town, hired a cart, and bought half a sheep, a fish, five catties of pork, and all kinds of fruits.
After Boxing moved into the house, Li asked Shi to go to the town to buy mooncakes.
In the evening, when he got off work, Li took Xue Jiaoxue Rujing to send moon cakes and honey three knives to the female workers, and the happy female workers smiled, never thinking that cooking could not only make money but also get gifts.
"Everyone work hard, and there will be good things when the Chinese New Year comes." Chen Xuejiao saw the motivation in everyone's eyes and said happily.
When the workshop was quiet, a carriage stopped at the door of Chen's house.
Chen Xuejiao saw that the carriage had stopped for a long time, and a woman wearing a moon-white dress and a veil came down, and was helped into the upper room by a stout girl dressed as a maid. (To be continued......)
