Chapter 187
When he arrived at the mansion to show his identity, the hostess of the White Mansion, who was also the mother of his daughter Bai Lan, came out to meet.
"Actually, we've heard of the house, and your Zhang family is quite interesting. Your sister in the long room has passed to the second room, and it surprises me that you came to propose marriage today. The long room and the second room of your mansion are both from a restaurant, but your second room is quite visionary. Sanfang is a scholar, and your family is also a scholar. "Madame Bai's meaning is very simple, I already know what kind of goods you are.
"Our Baifu is also from a businessman's background, but we are from a dart bureau, so the temperament of the family is relatively hearty and upright. Thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, Lan'er's father discovered two gold mines, so we started the gold business again. Dong Xiaoman nodded secretly, sure enough, the Bai family is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, with Li's temperament, how could Bai Lan enter the door.
"Our family Lan'er is the pearl of my master's palm, originally we didn't agree to this family business. The specific reason, presumably the two ladies also understand. Our family's strength is strong, and it is completely okay for my daughter to find a high-ranking official. Helplessly, our daughter agreed, and we saw that Zhang Bao was honest. ”
Dong Xiaoman and Zhu'er didn't know the specific things in Lu Dao, but when they heard that the Li family was rampant at home. Liu Ruyi said sarcastically: "People can take a fancy to Bao'er, it's not that you, the instigation of your mother." Bear fruit first and then bloom, raw rice is cooked and ripe, and she has to marry if she doesn't marry. ”
From this sentence, Dong Xiaoman realized that it was not simple, and because the Li family wanted Zhu'er to propose marriage, he accompanied Zhu'er.
The matter was very simple, the amount of the bride price was set, and the date was fixed. But at the end of the month, I was ready to get married.
Dong Xiaoman had never seen what Bai Lan looked like, and once asked Bao'er but saw that he refused to say, so he stopped gossiping.
The Li family must give Bao'er a long face, so he has to make a decent wedding. Dong Xiaoman didn't ask about it after returning to Fengjiabao, but found that Hong Nan was always unhappy.
There is no difference in the business at home, but it is just some stereotyped procedures. Dong Xiaoman is quite enjoying his current life, and the days when he can collect money without having to run around are simply cool.
After Zhu'er came back, Hong Nam never came back. In this way, Dong Xiaoman was very puzzled and went to talk to Hong Nan in person.
Hong Nan did not refuse, but showed pain. It means that he wants an heir, and Zhu'er doesn't want it at all, which makes him very embarrassed.
"My mother-in-law knew how difficult I was, and Zhu'er didn't understand me at all. Even if it's a daughter, as long as she gives birth to me, I'm good to have something to say in front of my parents. But you see, I brought her alone, she is still the same, what do you want me to do? Hong Nan said it confidently, Dong Xiaoman didn't know what Lu Dao said.
She is a mother-in-law, and her son-in-law said his embarrassment in front of his mother-in-law, and said that the problems of the husband and wife are not their biological daughters, and there is not too much age difference. How not to embarrass her?
Dong Xiaoman nodded: "You also know the concerns in Lu Daozhu'er's heart, it's all because she has been hurt too much." So if she gives birth to a daughter, she can't guarantee the happiness of the child, and it's no wonder that she can't guarantee the happiness of the child. ”
"Hey, everyone has three wives and four concubines. It's a big deal to have a concubine, and it will be accepted into her name in the future. "Hong Nan made the biggest compromise, it is impossible for him not to have children.
"You?" Dong Xiaoman didn't know how to persuade Lu Dao, this was a matter for the two of them. But whether from her own point of view or as a mother-in-law, she doesn't want a man to have three wives and four concubines. But in this era, it is not easy to change Jiro.
What's more, Erlang can't guarantee that he doesn't want children, and Erlang's performance was good when Huanhuan was born.
"In that case, I don't have a lot to worry about the two of you. It's just that I want to say that husband and wife should understand each other and be humble to each other when they are together, and when you marry her, you will know what she is like. You can't expect her to change her mind all of a sudden, and life is just going to be enjoyable. When two people are together, even if they quarrel, they are sweet. If you add people to import, no matter what the reason, it will only add some troubles. At this point, Dong Xiaoman didn't say any more.
"Also, mother-in-law. Let me tell you, when my father-in-law comes back, I think I'd better go home. Hong Nan said suddenly, and Dong Xiaoman was very surprised.
"But you're not happy?" Dong Xiaoman asked subconsciously.
"No, I think it's time for me to start my own business. So I wanted to go home and open my own shop, and I told my dad in the letter. Now that Hong Nan has made a decision, Dong Xiaoman doesn't want to stop it.
"That's okay, it's just that your father-in-law came back this time because of Bao'er's family. I still have to leave after I am done, you see! Dong Xiaoman really wanted to stay, but Hong Nan felt that he had no need to stay.
"Forget it, mother-in-law. In fact, it doesn't make sense for me to stay or not, I just sign every day and visit is boring. No one will listen to me and do what I tell me to do. Because there are already rules, they all follow the so-called rules. I'm just an ornament, I can't say anything. ”
Dong Xiaoman understood what Hong Nan meant, and originally thought that he could shout five and six to be the big shopkeeper when he came. But I didn't expect that Zhang Ji already had a complete system, and everyone had their own duties. If there is something related to money and goods, notify the leader by signature. And then continue to do it, so that everyone under every stroke knows that Hong Nan knows the Tao, so he doesn't dare to deceive and deceive. But Hong Nan thinks that everything has already been done, so you notified me.
"You don't have to tell me first when the food is gone, just call the vegetable seller to deliver the food. The greengrocers all unloaded their trucks and weighed them into the warehouse, and the steward came to me and asked me to sign. What the hell am I? Hong Nan asked angrily.
"Those things are just small things, and everybody has their own job and is in charge of those little things. You can't do everything yourself, you can't do it, can you? Dong Xiaoman didn't understand what Hong Nan would have this kind of. Why do you feel that the people below don't listen to you, and you feel that you can't control the people.
"That's not what I've seen, my dad said that the most important thing in a restaurant is not the cook. Cooks are just taking money to eat, and they also need to live as ordinary people. The most important thing is that you can't lose money in the front, and you can't lose the goods in the back. Hong Nam said excitedly.
"Just because we have different concepts doesn't mean that what your father said is not the same thing as what I want you to do. The butler came to you to sign it to tell you that there was such a thing. Now that you know the Tao, they won't be short of pounds or two, and vice versa. Dong Xiaoman thinks this should be a difference in concept: "You don't mean that you want to learn how to be a competent shopkeeper." ”
"Mother-in-law, your real skills to make a fortune are not these. Are you really going to give it to me? Hong Nam sneered.
"Then what do you think is the real ability, and what will we not hand over to you?" Dong Xiaoman lost his temper and suddenly felt that he was really cheap.
"I don't know what to do, I think my mother-in-law knows it in her heart!" Hong Nan turned his face away, looking unwilling to quarrel.
"It's funny, we were wrong to let you come. Xiaohu has been with me for so many years, and he has never said that we have any skills in our hands. You've only been working for a few days, and you're trying to find another way to find a shortcut. What can you do like this? "Xiaohu is actually Hongnan's death hole, and the last time I heard Zhu'er praise Xiaohu. Seeing Dong Xiaoman like this again this time, the humiliation in Hong Nan's heart broke out unattached.
"Yes, yes. Xiaohu is good at everything, otherwise you wouldn't be able to marry Zhu'er to him. Back then, you wouldn't have come to me again and again, saying that I was ignorant. After the accident, everyone thought that Zhu'er should marry me. It's just you, don't think I don't know the way. Only you are against us being together, if it weren't for Zhu'er's hard work, of course you would want Zhu'er to marry Xiaohu. Hong Nan suddenly broke out, startling Dong Xiaoman.
"I don't have anything to say to you, please ask my mother-in-law not to take care of our family's affairs in the future." After saying that, Hong Nan left, leaving Dong Xiaoman with a confused face.
"Grandma, grandpa, this is crazy." Erya spoke after a while, and was a little unconvinced, but she didn't want to add fuel to the fire. "Maybe he thinks Xiaohu is too much, or he thinks I'm a little annoyed and angry when I come to ask him. Who knows, I've made too many mistakes lately. Nosy. Dong Xiaoman was also very angry, feeling that he was simply looking for trouble.
At the end of the month, it is Bao'er's family business, and as the only sister Zhu'er, she is naturally very concerned. Suddenly I felt that I had something to do, and every day was very fulfilling.
Since Hong Nan quarreled with Dong Xiaoman that time, he woke up when he went out and felt that he was too stupid. offended his mother-in-law early, isn't this really giving up on the Zhang family's big thing.
But if you don't say it, it's too uncomfortable to hold it in your heart. After thinking about it, I felt that I should go home more to accompany Zhu'er, so that Dong Xiaoman could also feel that he was a little sorry.
Who would have thought that Zhu'er would be so busy every day, going out early and returning late, saying that she wanted to pick out some good things for Bao'er. Hong Nan didn't feel sorry for the idea, but he just felt that Zhu'er's heart seemed to be in his mother's house forever, and he never brought it out at all.
However, I still wanted to reconcile with Zhu'er, but in the end, Hong Nan relented again.
"You can't see anything when you buy these things, but it's good if you build some furniture. I see that your bed is very good-looking, although the woman came with a dowry. We can also send a set, after all, it's a festive thing. Hong Nan said with a smile and followed Zhu'er.
"I think so too, but I'm too busy for fear that the carpenters here won't be able to do well. I asked someone to go to the carpenter who made my bed, who would have thought that he really had a ready-made one that was not sold. I asked him to help buy it, and it was already sent to the eldest aunt. Zhu'er said with a smile, still holding a pen and paper in her hand to record the things she bought one by one. See if there are any mistakes so that nothing is pulled down.
Hong Nan frowned: Bao'er can be regarded as his serious brother-in-law, why don't he care about anything when he gets married. casually asked: "Is it okay for you to entrust someone, don't be a greedy person who calculates your own money." ”
Zhu'er said casually: "Xiaohu won't, he won't calculate my bit of silver." And he was also very familiar with this carpenter, and I remember that he was the one who went there when I was looking for this carpenter. ”
Gabba, what porcelain shattered sound. Zhu'er subconsciously turned her head to look, but saw a broken teacup lid on the ground. Hong Nan glared at her with a displeased face, as if she had done something wrong!
