Chapter 10 Preparation

Du Xiancheng nodded and poured Xiao Xiangsheng a glass of wine, "Brother Xiao said this, I am relieved." ”

The two of them didn't talk about the troubles of these mothers-in-law and mothers, and discussed the business of the two families.

"How did you get from this trip to Jiangnan?" Xiao Xiangsheng asked. Although he and Du Xiancheng are two different shops, in fact, the business of the two people is together, and they claim to be two different shops.

Du Xiancheng took out his secret account book and handed it to Xiao Xiangsheng, "Big brother, please take a look." On this trip, I went to three salt wells in the south of the Yangtze River, and after a closer look, I felt that there was not much production there, so I didn't have much contact with them, but just asked our brothers to buy some private salt, and put it in our shop to sell it on consignment when the time came. The money earned is all brothers'. ”

Xiao Xiangsheng bowed slightly, "This is a good move." Those brothers follow us, so that they can live a good life, and they are worthy of their kindness back then. ”

Du Xiancheng remembered the dream he had in the bathtub yesterday, and touched his forehead with great emotion, "We can come back alive, it is already a blessing from God." Now that he has earned a big net worth, and he also has the identity of a foreigner of the official family, it is really a blessing that he never dreamed of. ”

Xiao Xiangsheng said with a smile: "The days will get better and better in the future, what do you have to worry about?" ”

Du Xiancheng also smiled, "Big brother has always been better than me!" I believed in the eldest brother, let's work hard for a few more years, save a large amount of land for our grandson, and we can also stop and be a farmer. ”

Xiao Xiangsheng smiled and patted Du Xiancheng on the shoulder, "Xiancheng, being a brother with you is my Xiao Xiangsheng's blessing!" ”

The two drank again before they got up and went to the room to find Xiao Shiji.

In May, spring is bright.

The courtyard of the upper house in the backyard of the Du family is full of colorful flowers.

There is a large blue and white vat in the corner of the south wall, which is full of water lilies and buds.

There is a Xifu begonia planted at the door of the courtyard of the upper house, which is delicate and moving. Because it has just reached the flowering period, many flower buds are still playing with flower buds, red and bright like rouge. Some are already in full bloom, and the pink of the petals changes from dark to light, as bright as a bright sun.

"There are four copies of begonias, Xifu, weeping, papaya and sticker. However, the general begonia flowers have no fragrance, only Xifu begonia has both fragrance and color, which is the top grade in begonia. Du Xiancheng saw Xiao Xiangsheng staring at the begonia in Naxifu for a long time, and immediately smiled and played.

Xiao Xiangsheng pushed him and said with a smile: "This is from your father-in-law's family, right?" ”

Fang Yuniang's maiden family, the Fang family, is actually a small flower craftsman in the West Market, and has been guarding a flower shop for several generations.

Du Xiancheng puffed up his chest proudly, "That's nature." My father-in-law and brother-in-law are all good at tending to flowers and plants. The flowers and plants up and down our house are all tended to by them. - Brother Xiao, do you want to ...... Introduce some business to my father-in-law, and give them the flowers and plants in your house to take care of? ”

Xiao Xiangsheng laughed dryly twice, and said with some embarrassment: "...... The affairs of the inner house have always been managed by your sister-in-law. He politely rejected Du Xiancheng's proposal.

Du Xiancheng just mentioned it, but he didn't take Xiao Xiangsheng's refusal to heart, and waved his hand with a big grin, "Then forget it." I just saw that Brother Xiao looked at this Xifu begonia differently, so I specifically mentioned it. ”

Xiao Xiangsheng really likes this Xifu begonia, and when he heard this, he said: "Although my flowers and plants are tended towards, there is really no such a good Xifu begonia." Tell your father-in-law that you have to send me a plant. "Then confess to Du Xiancheng," ...... When I go back, I will put Shiji alone in his own courtyard, and I can't live with his mother anymore......"

The two men said as they entered the courtyard.

The May sun shines on the spacious courtyard, the courtyard wall is covered with verdant creepers, the corners of the wall are lined with flowers and grass bricks in the shape of passionflowers, several peonies and roses are planted on one side of the wall, and large double-petaled peonies are planted on the other side.

Under the corridor of the upper room facing the courtyard gate, there are also a slip of clay pots, planted with pomegranate trees, passionflowers, and vigorous assorted brocade, green incense balls and precious peony species such as Yao Huang and Wei Zi.

Xiao Shiji wore a small golden crown of hair, wearing a moon-white robe, sitting on a dry seat in the corridor, holding a white and fat baby tightly in his arms, it was his fiancΓ©e Du Hengshuang, who was engaged to the baby.

Du Hengshuang stretched out his white fat little finger and pointed at the green fragrant ball peony and babbled.

Xiao Shiji patiently explained to her, "That's a peony, a very precious flower. The green incense balls in my house are not as good as yours, and they will all be lost in mid-May. ”

Du Hengshuang seemed to understand his words, babbling and screaming even more, the whole chubby little body struggled to break out, and the little fat hand tried to destroy the flower with a "hot hand".

The adoptive mother who was taking care of her on the side hurriedly said: "Miss, this green incense ball was raised by your little uncle with great effort. ”

Fang Yuniang, who was sitting next to her doing needlework, said with a smile: "It's not worth anything, it's just a flower, she can pick it for her if she wants." ”

The adoptive mother obeyed the order, went to pick a green incense ball, and handed it to Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang took it and held it in front of Xiao Shiji, screaming and wanting to give it to him.

"Huh? It turned out that the eldest lady picked flowers to give them to Xiao Gongzi! The little maid standing beside her couldn't help but cry out loudly.

"Ha Lu Ha ......"

When Du Xiancheng and Xiao Xiangsheng saw this scene, the two looked at each other and laughed, very happy in their hearts.

Fang Yuniang also smiled from ear to ear, looked up and saw Xiao Xiangsheng coming in, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Is Brother Xiao here to pick up my brother?" ”

Xiao Shiji was not disturbed by the laughter of adults, and carefully took the green incense ball from Du Hengshuang's chubby hand, and said patiently: "Although this green incense ball is good, it is not very good for you." You are still young, and when you grow up, my brother will buy you flowers to wear. ”

Du Hengshuang happily clapped his little hands, and the golden jade bells on his two fat wrists sounded with a crisp sound.

The afternoon sun shone in through the cracks in the cloister and sprinkled on Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang, giving them a golden edge.

When Du Xiancheng and Fang Yuniang saw this scene, they both breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and felt funny, and said with a smile: "In the future, Brother Xiao and his brother will bring more brothers to sit with us." ”

Xiao Xiangsheng responded, and said to Xiao Shiji: "It's not too early, we have to go home." Disturbed your Uncle Du and Aunt Fang, why don't you thank the people? ”

Fang Yuniang took Du Hengshuang from Xiao Shiji's arms.

Du Hengshuang screamed, kicked his legs together, and refused to leave Xiao Shiji's arms.

"You kid, be reserved for me!" Fang Yuniang said, gently patting Du Hengshuang's little fat leg.

Du Hengshuang burst into tears, very sad.

Du Xiancheng took three steps and walked up the steps in two steps, took Du Hengshuang over, and said unhappily to Fang Yuniang: "What are you doing beating the child?" ”

Fang Yuniang was counted down in front of people, her face turned red, and she muttered, "Where did I beat her?" I patted it lightly twice......"

Xiao Shiji walked over, took Fang Yuniang's hand and said, "Aunt Fang, Sister Hengshuang is thin-skinned, you have to take care of it more." ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Hengshuang stopped crying, rested his head on Du Xiancheng's shoulder, and hiccuped one after another, as if to prove that Xiao Shiji's words were right.

Fang Yuniang was angry and funny, but she also solved the dilemma, bowed her head and smiled at Xiao Shiji: "Do you know the way? Did Frost tell you about it? ”

Obviously, Du Hengshuang is not very good at talking.

Xiao Shiji smiled shyly, "I looked at Sister Hengshuang's eyes, and I knew what she meant. ”
