Chapter 247: Dowry

It is said that "the winter solstice is coming, eat dumplings", and before the winter solstice, there are a lot of people who come to eat dumplings.

One-third of the previously wrapped ones have been sold, and before the winter solstice arrives, some dumplings have to be wrapped.

The day before the winter solstice, two unusual guests came to Xiangyuan Restaurant.

Li Rong and Tian Jingjing.

Originally, Parsley didn't want them to come in, but since it was open for business and they were here to eat, she didn't let them go.

Come to think of it, they don't come to eat "simply".

Li Rong and Tian Jingjing ordered a plate of dumplings, and before the boiled dumplings were served, they had already set up a small plate in front of them, and the plate was vinegar mixed with oil and spicy seeds.

The two of them ate a plate of dumplings, Li Rong was afraid that others would think they were poor ghosts, but she would find a reason, "Isn't it almost the winter solstice, thinking that it is troublesome to make dumplings by yourself, so I will come out and try it." ”

They didn't come in time to eat, and when they watched others eating dumplings and smacking their mouths, they didn't want to have eaten.

"The dumplings you want can't be cold water?" Parsley asked them.

When the boiled dumplings come out of the pot, they are too cold and not hot when eating.

Li Rong and Tian Jingjing glanced at each other, both at a loss.

It's not that hard.

Tian Jingjing took the idea, "It's so cold, but it's okay." ”

Parsley shouted at the back hall, "The dumplings are not watery." ”

Li Rong's ass was on the stool, but her eyes were not idle. She looked at it vigorously, occasionally craned her neck to take a look at the other guests.

Tian Jingjing's eyes seemed to be glued to Parsley, and she swirled around her.

Parsley ignored them and sat down at the table closest to the counter to make dumplings.

Duan Yongyuan sent out the rolled dumpling wrappers from time to time.

Tian Jingjing was very depressed in her heart, she didn't think that Xiangqin was about to get engaged, maybe it was because Xiangqin was too calm.

She finally couldn't help it, "Sister Xiangqin, I found that your place is quite close to Hong Cheng's hotel. Is that why you opened the restaurant here? ”

The obvious facts, do you still use her to deliberately discover?

Listening to her tone, it seems that parsley can't be separated from Hong Cheng.

Parsley kept making dumplings in her hands, and she didn't even lift her head.

Tian Jingjing saw that she looked like she was ignoring her, her eyes were disdainful, and she secretly sneered.

"I didn't choose the place." Xiangqin knew that Duan Xiangxiang's place was here, and she was quite surprised.

Tian Jingjing pursed her lips, full of jealousy, but she pretended to be very curious on the surface, "Hong Cheng chose it for you?" ”

Xiangqin tugged at the corners of her mouth and said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "This place was given to me by Hong Cheng!" ”

Didn't Tian Jingjing just hope that Parsley was so incompetent, thinking that all the things she got were not earned by her ability. But Xiangqin said what she wanted to hear, but she didn't feel happy when she heard it, and her heart was still sour.

Li Rong didn't understand the joke, and said in surprise: "Really! This restaurant is really given to you by Hong Cheng! ”

Tian Jingjing glanced sideways and complained to Li Rong.

Li Rong's eyes turned quickly, their Li family has been reading the bridal gift of parsley, could it be that this restaurant is Hong Cheng's dowry to the Duan family?

The more Li Rong thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, she pressed her thigh, her mood was tense and complicated, there was excitement and anger.

She decided to talk to Li Laosan about it after she went back.

Tian Jingjing stirred the spicy vinegar on the plate with chopsticks, and said with a faint smile: "Sister Xiangqin, have you ever thought that Hong Cheng took pity on you and put it with you?" She immediately declared, "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to see you suffer." ”

The engagement between Xiangqin and Hong Cheng is already a certainty, and if Tian Jingjing, a-stirring stick, mixes in, it can't set off a little storm.

Parsley asked her, "Am I pitiful?" She looked dazed, "I'm eating and sleeping well now, where is the pitiful?" ”

Tian Jingjing was a little speechless, she could see that compared with when she was in the Li family, the current parsley is not so good.

In fact, Tian Jingjing really wanted to say to Parsley, if it weren't for Hong Cheng to help you, would you be able to have Parsley today?

As far as the current situation is concerned, in comparison, Tian Jingjing is much more pitiful than Parsley, why didn't she see a man covering her by her side?

It's hard to hear, Parsley doesn't want to talk to them more, what's the point of blushing and having a thick neck?

Tian Jingjing smiled uglyly, and when the dumplings were served, her and Li Rong's faces returned to normal.

"Your dumplings here are pretty big!" Li Rong looked at the dozen or so plump and round dumplings on the plate, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, as if she had taken advantage of someone.

"By the way, Sister Xiangqin, Ming'er, you are engaged to Hong Cheng, is there anything you need our help with?" Tian Jingjing wanted to come and take a kick.

Parsley is lukewarm, "Something is ready, no need for help." ”

Tian Jingjing lowered her head in frustration, but she was still lucky, and even moved Li Baoyu out, "Baoyu said that I want to come over and have a look." ”

"You tell him it's nothing to look at, so don't come here." Parsley really doesn't get oil and salt.

The engagement banquet is simple, this is what the parsley asks, and Ming'er is the big guy to sit down and have a meal together, and it doesn't take long.

Tian Jingjing glanced at Li Rong, who was patronizing and eating, pouted dissatisfiedly, and quickly looked away.

She had already put a dumpling on the plate, but she didn't eat it, but after a while, Li Rong solved a third of it alone, just like someone who had never seen dumplings in her life.

Tian Jingjing smiled at Xiangqin again, this time she was very sincere, "Sister Xiangqin, I'll wrap you a red envelope, and Ming'er will send it to you!" ”

Before Parsley could react, Li Rong immediately straightened her neck, "Where did you get the money?" ”

"My dad gave it to me!" Tian Jingjing was a little proud, although Tian Xuezhi and Li Rong divorced, Tian Xuezhi did not completely ignore Tian Jingjing.

Tian Xuezhi also expects Tian Jingjing to marry a good family like parsley.

Tian Jingjing has private money, and Li Rong doesn't know at all.

The appetite that used to be good has almost subsided now.

If you have money and don't save it, Li Rong doesn't want Tian Jingjing to send the money to Xiangqin.

Parsley is not uncommon with red envelopes, and said to them very directly: "Don't come tomorrow, you can't enter if you come." ”

Tian Jingjing was very interested, and after eating the dumplings, she was embarrassed to stay longer, so she went back to Duanjiazhuang with Li Rong.

When they went back this time, they wanted to test whether Parsley would let go.

As a result, they did not get any benefit.

Li Rong talked about the restaurant, she took the joke of parsley seriously, and really thought that the place was given by Hong Cheng.

When Li Rong talked about this, Tian Jingjing tried her best to stop it, it wasn't that she didn't understand the joke.

After Li Laosan heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Really? ”

He vaguely remembered that when he went to the hotel that day, there was a small restaurant opposite the hotel, and he didn't realize that it was the restaurant where Parsley was.

Li Laosan was obviously fooled by Li Rong, and Tian Jingjing tried her best to reverse this.

She repeatedly emphasized, "Don't listen to my mother's nonsense, that restaurant was not given to Parsley by Hong Cheng, how can there be such a good thing!" ”

"You said that there is no such good thing, it is because you did not touch it!" Li Laosan's implication is that Tian Jingjing is not as lucky as parsley.

Tian Jingjing was very impatient, and she was still doing ideological work for Li Laosan, "I see that the relatives of the Parsley Shelving Duan family are all in that restaurant, I think they should be a partner." Hong Cheng's family has such a big hotel, Hong Cheng and Xiangqin got married in the future, the whole hotel is Xiangqin, why does Hong Cheng want to send Xiangqin a small restaurant! ”

Li Laosan couldn't explain this, but he insisted that Li Rong's idea was correct, that Xiangyuan restaurant was Hong Cheng's dowry gift to the Duan family!

Hong Cheng's dowry gift to the Duan family turned out to be not money, but a restaurant!

was denied by her daughter, Li Rong was still very unhappy, "Jingjing, why did you turn your elbow to parsley?" ”

Tian Jingjing was angry, "Where am I turning to her, I'm worried about you-Originally, our relationship with Xiangqin was so tense that you wanted her to come back, and you wanted to make trouble with her, what do you think you look like?" ”

"What are we like?" Li Laosan blew his beard and glared, "I gave birth to a girl, and I raised it so much, I can't give it to others for nothing!" ”

Tian Jingjing's voice became louder, "In this case, don't say anything, let's think about what you do!" Anyway, I told you, if you want to make trouble with her, then you can point her back, next life! ”

Li Laosan glanced at her fiercely, and didn't hear Tian Jingjing's words in his heart at all.

He looked arrogant and said viciously: "She won't let me feel better, and I won't let her get married!" ”

"Stupid into this virtue, I think you are incurable!" Li Laosan's daughter-in-law, Hu Dani, pushed Li Laosan's head, "You let her not get married, what good can you have?" What did you do to her before, that's all in the past, as long as you are sincere to her now, can she still treat you? ”

It's rare that the Li family still has a sensible and sober-minded person, Tian Jingjing immediately echoed, "That's it, I said him, he didn't listen, Sanniang, you have to talk about my third uncle!" ”

Li Laosan pushed Hu Dani away, furrowing his brows, "Open it for me, what do you know!" ”

Hu Dani looked frightened and didn't dare to step forward.

When Li Laosan was fierce, it was really scary.

Hu Dani had only heard of how Li Laosan treated Duan Qiuping before, and that was only heard, but she had seen Li Laosan be rude to Li Rong, and she was also like that to her own sister, she was not ambiguous at all, and her eyes did not blink, she was really ruthless!

Hu Dani is afraid of him, but Tian Jingjing is not afraid of Li Laosan.

Li Laosan still has hope for her, and the short RAM will not do anything to her.

Tian Jingjing understands this very well.

"Third uncle, don't think that you are powerful, let me tell you, if you make trouble in the past, Hong Cheng will be polite to you, and I will follow the surname Nu!"

Speaking of Hong Cheng, Li Laosan was somewhat jealous. He's the kind of person who doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see a coffin, but he forces him to be in a hurry, he really can't do anything!

……

Tonight, the restaurant closes early, all in preparation for tomorrow.

Before closing, Parsley was still making dumplings. As soon as she is free, she is very nervous.

She can only numb herself in this way.

Xue Danfeng hugged a red wooden box and sat in front of her, the box in her hand was still very beautiful, with a pattern and a small copper lock.

"Parsley, this is for you." Xue Danfeng pushed the box to Xiangqin, without any reluctance.

"What?" Parsley smiled and said that she was not curious at all, it was fake.

She slapped the flour off her hands, removed the copper lock, and opened the box.

This box is a makeup dowry, which contains a mirror, a wooden comb, and jewelry such as jade bracelets and silver locks, as well as some money.

There are not many things other than money, and it is not expensive to say that it is valuable.

However, Xiangqin felt that they were extremely valuable, at least she could see that these things were very important to Xue Danfeng.

Duan Yongyuan interjected, "This is the dowry that my mother brought to our family before, and she wants to give you these things as a dowry." ”

Parsley's eyes were hot and tears welled up in her eyes.

Just using "moved" can't describe her mood at the moment.

Xiangqin didn't stay at Duan's house for a long time, and she didn't have much communication with Xue Danfeng, but Xue Danfeng regarded her as a family member and always treated her as a family!

Except for Hong Cheng, there has never been a person like Xue Danfeng, who treats her as his own.

Xiangqin rubbed her eyes, closed the wooden box, and pushed it to Xue Danfeng, "Concubine, I can't ask for these things." ”

Her voice was choked.

Xue Danfeng seemed at a loss, she was afraid that the jewelry would be too shabby, so she took it upon herself to add some money.

"Thank you!" Parsley finally couldn't hold back and cried. The more she was depressed, the more uncontrollable the feelings in her heart became, "Thank you so much!" ”

"You better accept it," Duan Yongyuan knew what Xue Danfeng meant, after all, mother and son were connected, "You are engaged to Hong Cheng, you go to someone's house, and you don't bring a dowry, it's really unreasonable." ”

Duan Yongyuan knew that Hong Cheng wouldn't care about these things, but this was what they had prepared for Parsley, and Parsley was not a homeless person.

Parsley's face was abnormally red, which showed how hard she had put into calming her feelings.

Xiangqin pushed the makeup to Xue Danfeng, "You should keep these things with Liu Ling." ”

Duan Yongyuan's face also turned red, and he was a little embarrassed, "I'm talking about you, Liu Ling and I are still early!" ”

"I am engaged to Hong Cheng, and it is not yet time to get married, and it is still early to give me a dowry." Parsley's eyes were still moist and their sockets were red. She smiled playfully, "When I marry him, you can prepare a dowry for me!" ”R1152
