The meal was extremely lively. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Qiping was next to Chen Xuejiao, holding a colored ball in his hand. After Sister Chun finished eating the chicken legs, she aimed at the colored ball in Chen Qiping's hand, she was originally sitting with Mrs. Chen, but at this time she got off the table and walked to Chen Qiping's side, and reached out to grab the colored ball.

The colored ball is a gadget brought by the uncle Li Yuntian from Shandong a few years ago, and each of the children in the big house got some, Chen Qiping especially likes this colored ball, where to take it.

Seeing that Sister Chun reached out and grabbed the rope of the colored ball, Chen Qiping struggled hard and raised his voice: "Don't pull it, this is given to me by my uncle." ”

A child's joke, Wen Yan swallowed a quick braised pork, licked the sauce on the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Your uncle has given you colored balls, and the eldest brother is also Sister Chun's uncle......"

Before he finished the rest of the words, he took another piece of fish, and smiled at Chen Xiucai while spitting thorns.

Wen Ying, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly intercepted her words: "You, who are aunts, don't say that you give your nephew some things during the New Year, but ask your nephew for something, and you don't want to make jokes when you spread it." ”

Wen Yan had always been afraid of this sister, so she pursed her mouth and didn't dare to speak, and smiled at Qi Ping in a sneering manner: "That's what I said." ”

Qi Ping squeezed the color ball tightly, blinked his eyes and looked at Wen Yan, and he didn't feel happy when he saw Wen Yan smiling at him. Sister Chun pulled Chen Qiping's hydrangea belt again, Chen Qiping brushed off her hand, tightened the strap and wrapped it into a ball, and avoided Sister Chun around the table.

"Come, Sister Chun, come to the second aunt." Wen Ying put down her chopsticks and beckoned to Sister Chun.

Sister Chun was as afraid of Wen Ying as Wen Yan, and saw Wen Ying's voice high. I dare not go, but I am afraid to go. I had to look at Wen Yan and Mrs. Chen with my eyes open.

Chen Qiping turned to Old Man Chen's side, and was pulled by Old Man Chen, picked up and sat on his lap.

"Grandpa. Eat pig ears. Chen Qiping took the chopsticks and put the pig's ears in front of the old man Chen, usually once he encountered a happy event, the old man Chen would drink a small meal, accompanied by the pig's ears.

Seeing that his grandson was so intimate, Old Man Chen laughed, gouged out two eyes of the carp he had just put into Qi Ping's mouth. Although this carp eye did not eat the head, it has always been eaten by the elder or the most favored person at the banquet, and the carp eyes at the family banquet in the past belonged to Chen Qilin, but this time it was given to Chen Qiping.

Chen Qiping was thirsty. Thinking that the wine glass in front of Old Man Chen was boiled water, he took a sip and drank it, and smoke came out of his hot throat, and the spicy Chen Qi frowned straight and quickly spit it out.

Old Man Chen saw Chen Qiping with a wrinkled little face, smiled even more happily, and asked someone to bring water to Qi Ping.

Mrs. Chen saw that Old Man Chen was holding the child in the big house and kissing the incense, and her heart was bitter, but she couldn't have a seizure. had to desperately put vegetables into Chen Qilin's bowl.

Chen Xuejiao noticed that Chen Qilin was sitting next to Mrs. Chen, and when Old Man Chen gave Chen Qiping the carp eyes, Chen Qilin's expression darkened, and his eyes became more and more gloomy. Mrs. Chen gave him vegetables. Looking at his appearance, he was quite resistant, and he only moved his chopsticks slightly with those dishes, and then pulled them aside.

The days of wealth have been long gone. Maybe I dislike the saliva on Mrs. Chen's chopsticks. Chen Xuejiao thought secretly.

"Big brother, I'll give you a drink." Chen Zichang opened his mouth first. Hold a flask in one hand and a wine glass in the other. Man Man poured himself wine, and took Chen Xiucai's cup and poured it full.

After drinking the wine, he actually took out two New Year's greeting stickers from his pocket, one for Old Man Chen, and one for Chen Xiucai: "This is written by the old man in the city." ”

Chen Xuejiao raised her eyes and looked at Chen Zichang, she had never seen him as gentle as today.

Chen Zichang is still the same, with fine skin and tender meat, and a slightly hunched back, but a huge gold ring on his hand is particularly conspicuous.

"The second brother always fools people with such things, the eldest brother is a scholar and likes it, what do you mean by giving me some broken calligraphy and paintings?" Zhang pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly.

Chen Zichang and Chen Zigui did the north and south dry goods were pitted to the bottom, and it was easy to be plugged by Xueyao, I heard that the business of calligraphy and painting was easy to do, so they attached Fengya to do a calligraphy and painting business, they didn't know a big word, and they didn't understand the calligraphy and painting market, and they didn't appreciate it. couldn't sell it, so the two of them got angry, so they simply closed the shop, rolled up the calligraphy and paintings and went home for the New Year.

Hearing Zhang's words, Zhao explained with a smile: "That calligraphy and painting are priceless, it is said that if such a painting is sold, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life." ”

It's okay for Zhao not to say it, but when he said it, it provoked Zhang's resentment.

"What's priceless? Can be eaten or drunk. Second sister-in-law, don't lie to me, if it's priceless, you can give it to us, you would have taken it and sold it. Oh, the fourth child followed you in the wind and rain, and worked for you, but you didn't get a penny all year round, and you have a nest of good food and drink, so we should suffer and suffer. Second sister-in-law, it's not me who said you, look at what you wear on your head and on your body, which one is not the best. Zhang chattered and began to complain.

"Second brother and sister, what you said is like a knife cutting my heart, we are in the city, we have to buy a bowl of noodles and a load of firewood, where is it as convenient as home. I can't sleep every day for the expenses of the family, the shop business looks good, but the inside is empty, you go to inquire about the business is so easy to do, which shop is not three or four years in a row, before it can be started, how long has our shop been open? The second brother and sister just looked at the plug on my body, this is not the New Year, Xueyao saw that I didn't have decent clothes when I came back, so she specially gave me a face. Zhao made a bitter face and reasoned with Zhang.

"Hmph, it's a pity I don't have a good girl. If I had a good daughter, and I would send it to a big family, where would I be like now, widowed at home, and serve my in-laws every step of the way, what am I trying to do, I can't even get a new piece of clothes all year round...... What am I doing alive, I ......" Zhang rolled up his sleeves, quite a bit of a desperate posture with Zhao.

"Okay, what is alive and dead, big New Year, accumulate some virtue." Mrs. Chen choked when she saw her two daughters-in-law. He dropped his chopsticks and said to Zhang with a straight face. "Serving me and your father at home, what is wrong with you? Okay, you are wronged, you will go back to Lao Zhang's house after the New Year, our family can't afford your big Buddha. ”

What Zhang said was indeed the truth, she originally said those words to mean that she was dissatisfied with the Zhao family, but Zhang's words were not brains, and when she said it, it seemed that she was dissatisfied and disrespectful to the second elder of the upper room.

Old Man Chen's face is also difficult to see.

Seeing that Old Lady Chen reprimanded Zhang, Zhao couldn't help but lower his head and purse his lips and smile.

Zhang was scolded by Mrs. Chen, but he didn't dare to speak.

Zhao has the upper hand. Proudly, a decent smile spread on his face, and he said with emotion: "The fourth brother and sister always feel that there is a grievance in their hearts, if Xueyao is not pregnant, I will stay at home and be filial to my father." ”

So the topic was shifted by Zhao to Xue Yao's pregnancy.

Chen Xuejiao felt that the reason why the Zhao family mentioned Xueyao's pregnancy was to deter and win over the Zhang family. Chen Zigui went to help Chen Zichang, but he didn't get any benefits for half a year, which was unbearable for the Zhang family, who had always been mercenary. According to her character, she is bound to make a big fuss in the second room.

To stop the Zhang family from making a big fuss, they can only move out of Xueyao, because Xueyao is the guarantee of living a good life in the house, whether it is true or not. Everyone in the upper room has always believed in it. In addition, Xue Yao is pregnant, according to the previous statement, once she gives birth to a baby boy. will be raised to be a flat wife, then everyone in the upper room will be promoted to the father-in-law of Uncle Dingfu. And so the benefits came naturally.

"Xue Yao's fetus is sitting firmly, right?" Wen Yan asked.

"Steady, what kind of family is Nading Mansion. A few days ago, Xueyao had a bad appetite and wanted to eat sour plums, and the old lady actually sent someone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to find dozens of sour plums for her. Speaking of this, Zhao's face couldn't hide the smugness.

"That's the old lady's first grandson, so you can't worry about it." Mrs. Chen is very satisfied with her granddaughter's life in Dingfu.

Before she was born, the people in the upper room unanimously believed that Xue Yao was pregnant with a male fetus.

"Not only that, my mother has never seen Xueyao's house, she lives in a rich house, and the bottles on the table are enough for us farmers to eat for a lifetime." Zhao sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat for Mrs. Chen, and became more and more interested, "I haven't been born yet, the old lady has already made a decision about the three ceremonies, and I don't know how rich it will be when the time comes, Xue Yao said, and I will personally send someone to pick up my mother when the time comes." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, a smile appeared on her face: "Xueyao's big event, then I have to go." ”

Chen Xuejiao was quite disdainful in her heart, and the Zhao family only mentioned Xueyao's scenery in Dingfu, but did not mention her unsatisfactoryness. Presumably, with Zhao's shrewdness, she must have been able to guess Xue Yao's situation in Ding Mansion, but she didn't want to believe it, and she still had the dream of Xue Yao being helped as his wife.

Not to mention that it is uncertain whether the child in Xue Yao's belly is male or female, even if it is born as a boy, Xue Yao will not be corrected. You must know that Sister Ai's pass is not so easy, not to mention that there is a powerful ancestor Wu family standing behind Sister Ai, to put it mildly, even if the Wu family dies and Xue Yao successfully gives birth to Lin'er, as long as the Wu family interferes, it is impossible for Xue Yao to climb up to the position of the grandmother of Ding Mansion.

What's more, Xue Yao's current status in Ding Mansion is not so beautiful, which can be seen from her fat body.

Thinking of Xue Yao's fat and unrecognizable appearance, Xue Jiao couldn't help but smile.

This smile was caught by Zhao's eyes, Xuejiao found that Zhao was looking at herself, so she gave a look back, and Zhao quickly shifted his gaze as if he was burned.

A few years ago, Chen Xuejiao's family went to send an embroidered portrait to Dingfu's grandmother, and everyone knew about it, not to mention that they also saw Xueyao, Chen Xuejiao didn't believe that the Zhao family would not know.

Knowing that Chen Xuejiao and others knew about Xue Yao's recent situation, the Zhao family still told Xue Yao's scenery in Ding Mansion without changing his face.

What Chen Xuejiao didn't know was that the Zhao family was hating in their hearts, hating the embarrassment of the Dafang family when they saw Xueyao.

Then Uncle Ding Fu used the maids around Xue Yao, and the Dafang family also knew. Zhao was hateful and angry in his heart, and he only felt that Xue Jiao's smile was aimed at her.

After eating a meal for three hours, except for Zhao Shi Xue Yao, he only heard Chen Zichang flattering Chen Xiucai.

Thinking that in Xuzhou Mansion a year ago, Chen Zichang and Chen Zigui touched the inn and found it, and Li was a little dissatisfied in his heart. This family is all affectionate, accustomed to worshipping high and stepping on low, and even the bone tenderness is not divided, at this time, seeing that the big house has oil and water to fish, and the shop in the second room has fallen into a trough, Chen Zichang made this ugly look out.

Back in the north wing of his house, thinking that the Zhao family was extremely affectionate to him, the Li family, who had always been generous, couldn't help but be suspicious, and called Chen Xuejiao and said: "Your second aunt is a smiling tiger, she won't do anything that is not beneficial, she is so polite to our family now, my heart always jumps." ”

Chen Xuejiao thought about it for a while, and then said, "I guess the last time we went to Ding's Mansion, the second aunt knew about it." Sister Ai is polite to us, and she keeps food and delivers things, I estimate that my second aunt wants to inquire about how much friendship we have with Sister Ai......"

Without waiting for Chen Xuejiao to finish speaking, Li Shi understood: "What is she planning for Xueyao...... I used to sympathize with Xue Yao, but seeing her like that, she cursed Grandma Dingfu, and fought for Sister Ai for this and that, I annoyed her in my heart..... your second aunt can die early......"

Chen Xuejiao nodded, although the Li family is generous, but he is a person who has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and he will not stand on her side because Xueyao is his niece.

Li's tired back hurts, so Chen Xuejiao beat her back with her hands.

"I heard that the second aunt today means that she is recruiting some embroidery girls after the New Year?" Chen Xuejiao asked Li.

"I think it's feasible, your second aunt is a proper person, and our shop is famous, so it's better to pick up some embroidery work on the side." Li said with a smile.

Chen Xuejiao thought of another question: "It's okay to recruit a few more embroidery girls, I don't think we should take on those big embroidery jobs, only take some small pieces, such as embroidering wedding dresses or something." ”

"How?" Li asked.

Chen Xuejiao has also been thinking about it for a long time, and now that the embroidery shop has become famous outside, if it is hot to start a big business, it is not possible. First, large families have fixed embroidery workshops, if Chen Xuejiao and they open up this business, they need to go to the big families to contact around, not to mention the effort, their own family does not have such a big capital now. Second, those fixed embroidery workshops are all old shops, and if they take food from their mouths, I am afraid that they will be suppressed.

Chen Xuejiao explained it to the Li family in detail, and the Li family frowned when she heard it: "The business of the embroidery shop can't be expanded?" ”

"Expansion can be expanded, but the business is not in a large family, nor is it a small family, but a maid of a large family." Chen Xuejiao said with a smile.

As early as when she went to Dingfu, Chen Xuejiao paid attention to it, and there were more than 300 people in Dingfu alone, and there were more than 100 maids. She inquired about her sister, every year there will be a lot of old maids are released to match people, these maids because of the perennial service people, few time to embroider wedding dresses, to the day of marriage, are in a hurry to sew out, wear on the body is not very satisfied.

No matter what era it is, it is every girl's dream to be able to wear a gorgeous wedding dress when she gets married, and the maid is no exception. If your own shop expands to embroider the wedding dresses of the maids of large families, then there will be a lot of business in a year.

Chen Xuejiao carefully told Li her idea, and Li naturally praised it when she heard it. (To be continued.) )
