Chapter 142
"Xiaohu brought a letter, saying that it would be there before the year, you said that you were going to be a young year when you saw it, and you hated to see it for the first time. Why hasn't he come back? Dong Xiaoman sent vegetables to Mrs. Wang, and she was a little anxious when she saw Mrs. Wang complaining like this.
"It should be soon, you can rest assured that nothing will happen to them when they are together." Although Dong Xiaoman was anxious, he didn't dare to really tell Mrs. Wang in person.
After delivering the vegetables, Dong Xiaoman walked home, wondering when this Erlang would come back as he walked. Thinking about it, I got angry in my heart, and felt that having such a husband was really the same as nothing.
Thinking about it like this, Dong Xiaoman didn't want to go home, so he turned around and went to the street to wander around and shop, so it was the latest chapter of the concubine's survival strategy. When I was at the rouge shop, I thought about picking two things for Zhu'er and buying some for myself. It's been a long time since I've put on makeup, and I can't forget to please myself.
Dong Xiaoman also bought and took that, and the shopkeeper recommended it to her. A voice sounded next to him: "Hey, isn't this the proprietress of Jishitang?" ”
When Dong Xiaoman turned around, it turned out to be the proprietress of Hongfu Building, Dong Xiaoman didn't know how to answer, so he had to smile.
"You bought so much, but you bought it for your daughter?" Mrs. Hong didn't see anything outside, stepped forward to look at the things in Dong Xiaoman's hand, and chuckled.
"You're welcome, I'm Hong Nan's mother. Our family once came to the door to mention relatives, Mrs. Zhang, do you remember? The word Mrs. Zhang, Dong Xiaoman rarely heard. Seeing that people are straight to the point, Dong Xiaoman is no longer good at pretending not to know.
"Hello Mrs. Hong. I know, I also told the matchmaker last time, it's really our family is not at home. I'm really bad at it. ”
Mrs. Hong waved her hand and said unhappily: "I know that I have inquired about this pearl girl who is your successor." I've heard a little about your family, and to be honest, I don't agree with this family business. You also know that my son is my youngest son, and he usually dotes on him. If he wants me, I don't care. So, hehehe, Mrs. Zhang, don't blame me for being a straight-tempered person. ”
Dong Xiaoman said in his heart: I still can't look down on you. You're still happy to say it's not happy. However, he pretended to be polite and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I am also a mother, so I can understand your hard work." ”
Mrs. Hong saw that Dong Xiaoman was a soft person, and sure enough, she had the same impression as the last time she saw her. pulled Dong Xiaoman into the corner, lowered his voice and said, "I'm a real person, I want to tell you what is in my heart." ”
Dong Xiaoman remained silent, ready to see the move, so he heard Mrs. Hong say: "I really like that girl in your family in my heart." Otherwise, I wouldn't have said such things to you. Wait for her father to come back, and the two of you will discuss it carefully, and I will not treat your children badly. Besides, both of us run restaurants and do the same job, which is fate. ”
Saying that, Mrs. Hong smiled and wanted to pay Dong Xiaoman. Dong Xiaoman was willing to pay for his things quickly. thanked Mrs. Hong and left.
When Dong Xiaoman left, a favored maid next to Mrs. Hong changed her name to Magpie and said, "Why did Mrs. change her mind?" Didn't you like Miss Cousin before? ”
Mrs. Hong glanced at the girl and sneered: "My sister-in-law wants to let that girl enter the door, if there is no this, it is better to say." But look at this woman, her heart is soft enough. In the future, this girl will not know how much benefit she will get when she enters the door, a rich person and a poor one do you say I want which daughter-in-law? ”
The magpie said, "What if their family is unwilling?" ”
Mrs. Hong pouted: "I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and I always feel that this family affair is very good, the eldest young master is an adult, and the family will be his." But what about Brother Nan? If you can't do anything, you love to mess around with those few evil people again. If there is such a powerful Yue family, it will be easy to find a future in the future. ”
He glanced back at the magpie and said, "Don't worry." You see the people in Nango's house. I told you that I wanted to tell you that I was going to decide on this girl from the Zhang family. You can be moved to me by some kind of crooked thoughts, otherwise I won't sell you far away. ”
The magpie was frightened, and hurriedly smiled: "Where is the lady, the magpie knows his identity." Don't dare to have any deviant thoughts, please rest assured, Madame. ”
It turned out that Mrs. Hong's attitude changed because of this. Dong Xiaoman didn't know what their master and servant were saying. She simply thought about Mrs. Hong's attitude towards herself, and thought that the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this era was a real relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Mrs. Hong was able to lower her status to say these things to her, which shows that the child really likes her own pearl.
I was happy in my heart, and my steps were much lighter, and I didn't even walk into the door of the house with a pile of rouge gouache, but I saw that the door was empty. Dong Xiaoman was shocked, and when he pushed open the door, a carriage stopped in the yard, and his heart was pounding.
His legs involuntarily ran to the upper room, and sure enough, he saw Erlang and Old Man Zhang sitting together, chatting face to face. Seeing Dong Xiaoman lift the curtain and enter the house, Erlang's eyes lit up instantly.
Regardless of the presence of others, he picked up Dong Xiaoman and turned around a few times, so ashamed that Dong Xiaoman hid in Erlang's arms and refused to come out. Erlang Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Daughter-in-law, you are so amazing, you will change the house once I go home." You really want me to find no home! ”
Dong Xiaoman glanced at Old Man Zhang, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, the old man would not say those things. But it's still a long time, and Dong Xiaoman doesn't believe it in his heart.
Old Man Zhang also saw what Dong Xiaoman meant, and although he felt guilty in his heart, he was still unwilling to tell Erlang about Da Lang's dirty things. The palms of his hands and the backs of his hands are full of meat, and he still thinks about the three brothers helping each other a hundred years later.
Old man Zhang waved his hand to let the two couples go back to the house to talk, and said that he would lie down and rest for a while for a long time.
Erlang led Dong Xiaoman back to the room, and walked around his room with satisfaction: "You are really amazing, this house is getting more and more presentable." I also heard from Mrs. Wang, and the first garden opened a children's class, and invited Mr. to class. You've got another restaurant, and now the business is good? ”
Dong Xiaoman nodded, and Erlang was a little annoyed: "Why do you say you don't know how to take a break?" I don't know how to think that there is no man in this family, or I say that the men in this family do not need to rely on their daughters-in-law to support them. ”
Dong Xiaoman chuckled in his heart. Could it be that Jiro failed? The money is all lost, so you are angry and angry with yourself?
But seeing that the corners of Erlang's eyes were full of joy, he couldn't help Erlang and took the lead in laughing. One hand pulled Dong Xiaoman and hugged him tightly: "Fortunately, your man is not bad, and he earned you money." Otherwise, I'll find a crack in the ground. I got in. ”
Holding Dong Xiaoman's hand and still touching it dishonestly, Dong Xiaoman grabbed the dishonest hand and smiled: "You still give me an honest explanation first, have you done something that you shouldn't have done in the past half a year?" ”
Of course, Erlang knew what Dong Xiaoman was asking. slapped Dong Xiaoman's ass and teased: "I can only accept you, and no one else can do it." ”
Dong Xiaoman blushed, and said as if unintentionally: "Don't tell me how you have lived for most of the past half a year, how are Xiaohu's father and son?" ”
Erlang sighed, and said a little coquettishly: "I've been thinking hard for the past half a year, anyway, there are many days, and it's not too late to talk about it in the future." As he spoke, he buried his big head in Dong Xiaoman's chest. Dong Xiaoman is also an adult, and he was good at eating meat in his last life.
At this time, he was a little distracted, but he still pushed him away, got up and tidied up his clothes and said, "The children will be back in a while, you better take it easy." ”
Erlang saw Dong Xiaoman's face crimson, but he pretended to be serious. The unhappiness in his heart also faded, thinking that he must take revenge at night, and his hand couldn't help but pull Dong Xiaoman to sit on his lap.
Erlang took Xiaohu to follow Mr. Wang and a few brothers to the capital, and Mr. Wang naturally had an errand. Erlang took Xiaohu around all day long, and after getting familiar with the buying and selling prices.
I fell in love with some businessmen in the northwest, because I had fought in the northwest and was familiar with the folk customs there. Quickly blended in, Jiro bought horses, furs, raisins, and wine for half of the market price. Tun did not sell it in the inn, and saw that the caravan in the south had tea, silk and porcelain. He followed Xiaohu together, and the two of them thought of a good way.
That's north-south dumping. Why don't they buy these people's things and go all the way south to have a look? I bought a lot of wine from the North Gate Prairie caravan, and two camels and went on the road recklessly.
Fortunately, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the two of them didn't go far before they all got out. Erlang still wants to continue doing business, who wants to meet a few peers along the way to discuss. It's not very safe for everyone to do business on their own, so it's better for everyone to form a caravan together. There is a response along the way. Everyone can sell whatever they want.
Erlang and Xiaohu are combined, this matter is good, and they will join forces with these three or two people right now. Along the way, everyone sold and bought, and bought and sold to make a lot of money.
Approaching the end of the year, everyone returned to the capital and made an appointment to do business together at the beginning of spring next year. Wang Jiang was also waiting in a hurry in the capital, and when he saw that the two of them were back, he hurried home.
"So, you're leaving next year?" Dong Xiaoman heard what Erlang meant, small sample, you are still addicted.
"Well, yes, daughter-in-law. You don't know that there is a lot of knowledge here, and you can learn a lot together. You see, there are a few people who are old fans of wine gourds, there are silk sellers, tea sellers, jewelry sellers, horse sellers, and people who are in a hurry. Twenty or thirty of us were together, and it was very lively. Seeing Erlang's rather proud appearance, Dong Xiaoman couldn't bear to lose him.
"You're going to let me be at home, huh? I'm tired of a few shops in this house, and there are messes at home, and a few children, and by the way, someone has proposed to Zhu'er. Dong Xiaoman held his mouth, he had never found Erlang so irresponsible, and he felt wronged.
"If I'm not at home, they can toss less, and I'll earn two more years, so let's move to the south." I think it's better to go to the south, the climate is good and comfortable, and it's convenient to go anywhere by boat. It's too chaotic at home, if you don't care about it, it's not like that. Erlang seems to have the idea of moving away, and Dong Xiaoman doesn't ask much.
But he threw him a realistic question: "Zhu'er has been proposed by someone, so I refused." You say so, Zhu'er is not married yet? ”
Erlang frowned: "Zhu'er, are you engaged?" ”
Dong Xiaoman glanced at him: "If you are not at home, can I make my own decisions?" Besides, Zhu'er is not happy in her heart, and I can't agree with it. "I think Xiaohu is not bad, and it will be good to wait for her to marry Xiaohu in two years!" By the way, how old is Pearl? Erlang was a little stunned, Dong Xiaoman glanced at him and said angrily: "I've been married to you for six years, and Zhu'er is twelve." ”
"Oh, then Brother Wang has to come to propose!" Erlang looked like he should be, and Dong Xiaoman's heart suddenly brightened. It turns out that Xiaohu also likes Zhu'er in his heart, and the two of them are really green sweethearts. (To be continued.)
