Chapter 92: It's all in plain sight
The next day, there were scattered artillery battles in the courtyard of the Hu family, and Hu Bincheng ran out to look at it for a long time, and came back to say to Sister Hu Chun: "Eldest sister, my little aunt is getting married." ”
Sister Hu Chun can't believe it, Hu Jianniang is getting married?
Didn't you hit the wall last night?
Could it be that it was a dream last night?
Because the door was closed last night, it was noisy outside, and she couldn't hear the sound inside, and she didn't know that the Hu family had agreed to the one-eyed dragon son to "marry" Hu Jianniang to him.
It's just that it's married, but it's not very suitable, because it's too hasty, Xiao Ding didn't have anything, and he came straight to a small sedan chair to carry people.
When Sister Hu Chun saw that scene, she was speechless for a while, although the rural households didn't care much about the red tape, but this was too ...... A little more informal......
Although there are still some unbelievable things, Sister Hu Chun still put 100 cents in her pocket, and sent it to the main house of the Hu family as the money from their second room.
In the courtyard of the Hu family, the one-eyed dragon son was dressed in red, standing in the courtyard with high spirits, and said with a smile: "Father, mother, I will be my third uncle in the future, and if you owe money or not, naturally you don't need to mention it again." ”
Hu Luzong was also in high spirits, completely forgetting how he forced the one-eyed dragon to be embarrassed a few days ago, and the two brothers grabbed the one-eyed dragon's shoulders and smiled: "What my brother-in-law said is very true." ”
Hu Jiang and Lao Hu were also smiling.
It seems good to have such a powerful son-in-law? Look at those two subordinates, that figure, you feel very secure at a glance. In the future, whoever wants to bully his family will also be elusive.
Xiao Jiang lifted the bamboo curtain and looked at it, and smiled in his heart.
When I got married, I found that I didn't marry a yellow flower daughter, look at the one-eyed dragon! If I find out that Hu Jianniang has also lost a child, it will be even more interesting.
It's not a good marriage, but her parents-in-law are happy to settle an account, so she doesn't go out and get fishy!
She threw off the bamboo curtain, lay back on the earthen kang, and took great care to cover the quilt tightly, pretending to be sick.
When Sister Hu Chun came to send molecular money, several neighbors came one after another to send molecular money, all of them had no money, more than ten cents, dozens of cents of everything, and after receiving other people's money, they invited guests to dinner, otherwise it would be bad to spread the word. Hu Jiang's family really had no choice, so he only grabbed his eldest son and asked him to call his daughter-in-law to get out of the table.
Hu Xinzong went to call Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang couldn't hide when he saw it, so he reluctantly got up and went to the stove room.
Sister Hu Chun wanted to put down the money and leave, but Hu Jianniang didn't know that she was coming, so she had to see her.
Sister Hu Chun was lazy to deal with this family, turned her head and wanted to leave, and then thought about it, it was better to meet and listen to her, otherwise relying on Hu Jianniang's temperament, maybe some moths would come out later.
Hu Jiang watched Sister Hu Chun enter Hu Jianniang's house with disgust, rolled her eyes, and looked at the 100 cents she sent, barely scolding.
The sun was shining outside, but somehow, Sister Hu Chun only felt that Hu Jianniang's house was abnormal, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Hu Jianniang dressed in red, lying on the earthen kang, and the white gauze on her head was wrapped around and around, which was very conspicuous.
Sister Hu Chun approached silently, sat down at the table, and opened her mouth to say, "What's the matter, finish talking." ”
"Are you particularly happy to see me like this?" Hu Jianniang looked at the roof beam on the earthen kang and said quietly.
Sister Hu Chun said lightly: "If you call me in to say this, then I'll go." ”
Hu Jianniang turned her head suddenly, because she was too hard, she was dizzy for a while, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and only opened them for a while, and saw that Sister Hu Chun was looking at her with some kind of pity and pity, she was instantly stimulated, and shouted softly: "Sister Hu Chun, you don't care much! Don't think that if I don't fight with you, you can marry Brother Bo, like you, you will be a cheap concubine at most when you enter the door! I want to marry out and be a wife!"
Sister Hu Chun "Huo" got up and looked at Hu Jianniang condescendingly: "Who told you that I want to marry Long Yubo? Hu Jianniang, you are crazy yourself, don't bring others! If you talk about this kind of thing in the future, don't complain that I'm not welcome!"
After speaking, Sister Hu Chun had no patience with Hu Jianniang at all, turned her head and lifted the bamboo curtain and left.
In the courtyard, Hu Jiang's eyes looked at Sister Hu Chun unkindly: "What did your little aunt tell you?"
A sneer appeared on Sister Hu Chun's young face: "It's just nonsense." ”
Hu Jiang was angry and wanted to beat Sister Hu Chun, but Sister Hu Chun had no scruples and walked away.
This family, she really doesn't want to pay attention to it anymore.
As a result, before she walked to the door, she saw Sister Hu Hui walking over with the middle-aged man surnamed Wu, Sister Hu Hui was full of happiness, and giggled: "Uncle Wu, you can come to send my little aunt out, she will definitely be very happy." ”
"Since she is Sister Hui's little aunt, naturally I also have to pay attention to the dichotomy. ”
Sister Hu Chun listened to the man surnamed Wu say this, and only felt sour. She grinded her teeth and was about to walk away by the door, but the man surnamed Wu had already seen her, and a smile appeared on his face, shouting, "Little bearded lady." ”
Sister Hu Chun only stopped her steps, a fake smile appeared on her face, and said, "Wufuzi." ”
Sister Hu Hui pouted, and shook Wu Ming'an's arm in a snort: "Uncle Wu, this person is the most annoying, her heart is bad, and she is cunning and abnormal, let's ignore her." ”
A wisp of patience flashed in Wu Ming'an's eyes, and he still smiled casually and doted: "Okay, all listen to Sister Hui." ”
Sister Hu Hui seemed to have won a big battle, glanced at Sister Hu Chun with extra meaning, pulled Wu Ming'an's sleeve, and led him into the hospital.
Sister Hu Chun rolled her eyes and went back to her courtyard.
As a result, I saw two identical boys standing sneakily by the gate of the courtyard, probing their brains into the courtyard.
Sister Hu Chun was shocked, walked forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Be a man and respect people, why are you here?"
Those two seem to be carved out of a mold, not the two young masters of the county family, where can they be?
Liao Zuoren Liao Jingren was pleasantly surprised when he saw Sister Hu Chun, and he came together one by one, pulling his left hand and holding his right hand, and greeted him sweetly: "Sister Chun, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look so good." ”
There is no little lady in the world who doesn't like to listen to sweet words, Sister Hu Chun smiled narrowly, and tried to keep her face straight: "Don't be delusional to change the topic - does Aunt Xun know that you are coming?"
Liao Zuoren's swarthy eyes turned around, giving Liao Jingren a look, and he wanted to talk nonsense perfunctory. Although Sister Hu Chun's shell is a little smaller, she is all in her 20s, and it has passed since their playful years, and she has the sensitivity after workplace experience, she saw through the small interaction between these two children at a glance, and she was angry and funny.
What a bold pair of them!
When she saw two horses tied to the fence, but the servants who didn't accompany her followed, she guessed that these two leather boys must have secretly led the family's horses again, and walked out to play.
She helplessly stopped the two people who planned to lie: "Okay, did you two sneak out, are you ?—— aren't you afraid of Aunt Xun's worries?"
Liao Jingren stuck out his tongue: "My mother went to my cousin's house as a guest today, and I only went back in the evening, so we can walk back before she goes back." He used the Great Fa again, "Sister Chun, we miss you." ”
Liao Zuoren also made a pitiful appearance: "Sister Chun, it's easy for us to take advantage of our mother's relatives to go out and play secretly, and we can all be well-behaved on weekdays." ”
Can you be good? Sister Hu Chun expressed her doubts.
It can be seen that these two children are like this, she is also helpless to be abnormal, while opening the courtyard door, she compromised and said: "Okay, I will have lunch at the eldest sister's house for a while, and I will send you back after lunch-I am very weird, how did you find our house?"
Liao Zuoren and Liao Jingren exchanged "done" glances with each other, and followed Sister Hu Chun into the small courtyard with a smile. Liao Zuoren replied with a smile: "We went to ask the groom who sent Sister Chun home first, and he told me. ”
Sister Hu Chun was helpless to be abnormal, but she was also relieved, fortunately, there was still someone in his family who knew where they went, so that no one would be panicked at that time.
"Sister Xia, little brother Bincheng, let's look for you to play!" Liao Zuoren Liao Jingren shouted happily while running into the house.
After a while, Sister Hu Xia opened the bamboo curtain in surprise, and there was still a trace of ink on her face, which was obviously just practicing calligraphy - Sister Hu Chun recently bought three calligraphy books, and one for each sister and brother. The most diligent one is Sister Hu Xia, who not only practices herself, but also supervises Hu Bincheng, and detains Hu Bincheng every day to practice for two hours before letting him go out to play.
Sister Hu Chun is also diligent, but she is more complicated, and she is not as persistent as Sister Xia.
"Be an elder brother, respect elder brother, you are here. Sister Hu Xia said softly, Liao Zuoren Liao Jingren is full of satisfaction of being an elder brother, especially Liao Jingren, who has been a young and old family for seven or eight years, after all, he also has the feeling of being an elder brother, and he is very happy.
Hu Bincheng also showed a small head from the back of the eldest sister, and when he saw that it was Liao Zuoren and Liao Jingren, his little face lit up in an instant: "Ah, brother, let's go play!" With a brush in his palm, he was about to jump out.
Sister Hu Chun stretched out her palm and grabbed Hu Bincheng's collar, and said with a sinking face that she couldn't stand it: "Brother Bin'er, how many times have I told you, don't run with a brush, look at how many ink spots are on your clothes?"
Hu Bincheng lowered his head, and when he saw that the ink marks on his shirt were really dotted, he couldn't help blushing, and hung his head obediently admitting his mistake: "Eldest sister, don't be angry, I was wrong." ”
"Go, put the brush down first, and then go and change your clothes. Sister Hu Chun has always been helpless to take this little brother, she sighed resignedly, "You remember to wash your dirty clothes tonight." ”
"Oh, Brother Bin'er knows, the eldest sister is not angry. Hu Bincheng raised his little face and smiled flatteringly at Sister Hu Chun, and shouted at Liao Zuoren and Liao Jingren with full vitality, "Brother, wait for me!
After speaking, he took the brush carefully and trotted back to the house.
Sister Hu Chun sighed helplessly, told Sister Xia to wash her face, and told Liao Zuoren Liao Jingren with some unease: "Don't take them on horseback, you are all young, and they have never ridden a horse, it's too dangerous." ”
Liao Zuoren Liao Jingren is a little skinny, but he also knows the severity, patting his chest and reassuring: "Sister Chun is at ease, stay back in the horse training field, and then we will take Sister Xia and Brother Bincheng to ride horses, there are ponies suitable for the two of them to ride, but they are docile." ”
Sister Hu Chun put her mind at ease.
Liao Jingren and Liao Zuoren took Sister Xia Bincheng to catch fish by the river not far away. These two brothers really had a certain kind of obsessive pursuit of fish.
Sister Hu Chun knew that the water over there was not deep, and the adults and children by the river were not small, so she was relieved to ask the brothers and sisters to go crazy, so she carried a vegetable basket by herself, first went to Qian Tu's house to cut a pound of meat and three pork bones, and then went to the village to buy a lot of vegetables, and returned to the courtyard to prepare for lunch.
I don't know if it's a feng shui problem today, she saw a young man standing by the door of their yard from afar, holding a horse in the palm of his hand, and he looked at it suspiciously, and was immediately speechless, this young man was actually Long Yubo.
Long Yubo saw her carrying a basket of vegetables, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled: "Look at this appearance, those two naughty ghosts really came to your house." ”
Sister Hu Chun lowered her mouth and motioned him to look at the fence: "No, the horse is still tied there." Why is Young Master Long looking for them?"
Long Yubo saw that Sister Hu Chun's attitude towards him was neither humble nor arrogant, so his smile deepened, and he explained warmly: "I happened to be a guest at Qi's house today, and Mrs. Cheng of the county happened to be in ...... The servants at the head of the county Cheng's house came to report that the two young masters had sneaked out on horseback again, and asked the other servants for the addresses of your homes before walking out. Mrs. Cheng was helpless and worried, and I happened to be able to ride a horse, so I agreed to let her come and have a look. ”
Sister Hu Chun nodded: "On the contrary, I am worried that Young Master Long has run away this time - but I don't bother the second master about anything, I still bother Young Master Long to talk to Mrs. Cheng when I go back, saying that I will leave the two young masters for lunch, and I will send them back after the meal." ”
Long Yubo looked at the basket of dishes, and smiled even more: "Don't worry about it like this, you also said it, don't bother the two masters, why don't I escort them back after lunch." ”
Sister Hu Chun is such a smart person, and she immediately realized that the son in front of her face meant that he was also going to eat here at noon today.
No problem, she asked herself if her cooking skills had been tested by the people, and she would never be ashamed.
Sister Hu Chun smiled, and the invitation was still symbolic: "Then Young Master Long will also stay for lunch to eat, coarse tea and light rice, see and laugh." ”
Long Yubo's eyes were deep, and he looked at the small pear vortex on Sister Hu Chun's cheek, which was meaningful: "Since it is Mrs. Hu cooking, the coarse tea and light rice are also delicious." ”
Is that. Sister Hu Chun is full of confidence.
However, when she put the basket on the side of the pot, she looked at Long Yubo, who was sitting on the stone pestle in the courtyard and looking at the entire small courtyard, and there was some hesitation: "Well, today, my little aunt is out of the pavilion today, don't you go and take a look?"
"She has nothing to do with me since she got married?" Long Yubo remembered something, and his smile became meaningful, "Speaking of which, your little aunt has said that she wants to enter the door of my Long family with you." ”
Sister Hu Chun almost choked on her saliva, and looked at Long Yubo with disdain: "Young Master Long won't believe such ridiculous words, right?"
Long Yubo smiled and said nothing.
In fact, if he didn't know that Sister Hu Chun and Hu Jianniang had a very different relationship, it would be impossible to agree to this kind of thing...... He almost answered.
Sister Hu Chun felt bored and abnormal, thinking about this hour, Hu Jianniang should have taken a sedan chair to Lai's house early, maybe Long Yubo would have sent it earlier. She didn't say anything more, turned her head and threw herself into the pile, and picked up the dishes to be made at noon with her arms and legs.
Sister Hu Chun chopped the big meat she bought into minced meat, put in the green onion and ginger, an appropriate amount of salt, and a small spoon of light soy sauce, mixed together, mixed evenly in a porcelain basin, and set aside to marinate to absorb the flavor. She took a few big green peppers, glanced at Long Yubo, estimated his amount of food, took another one, washed it, removed the pepper stalks, took a wooden chopstick and turned around in the green peppers, removed the seeds of the green peppers, and made them hollow.
Sister Hu Chun cautiously stuffed the pickled large meat filling into the hollow green pepper bit by bit, until one was full, and then put it aside satisfied, and then stuffed the second one.
Long Yubo, the young master of a big family, had never entered the stove room? He had never seen such a practice, and he said curiously: "What are you doing?"
Sister Hu Chun didn't raise her head, cautiously stuffed the second one, and replied: "This is called tiger skin pepper - don't ask, just wait to eat." ”
She wants to cook wholeheartedly and don't disturb her!
Long Yubo consciously closed his mouth, and his eyes unconsciously stuck to Sister Hu Chun's face.
He remembered that Zeng Yuzhen's dead boy held Sister Hu Chun's palm last time - this time he was going to eat the dishes made by Hu Chunniang herself, look at Zeng Yuzhen's next time, why was he embarrassed to mention Sister Hu Chun in front of him, and he looked upside down.
Long Yubo smiled without moving, and his heart was gloomy.
By noon, Sister Hu Chun had already made a table of dishes.
It's just that although there are many types of dishes, the amount of each plate is not much, so as not to have leftovers.
It's a shame to waste.
Sister Hu Chun looked at her own results with satisfaction, thinking that she should almost go and call the children back, and when she turned her head, she saw Long Yubo looking at herself with complicated eyes: "Sister Chun, you can really do something abnormal." ”
Sister Hu Chun also thought the same way in her heart, but she was not particularly familiar with Long Yubo, so she was embarrassed to sell melons and boast in front of others. She said modestly: "Where, the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and all the ladies in the village can cook, so they should not be boasted." ”
Long Yubo looked at Sister Hu Chun, smiled lightly, and did not speak again.
Sister Hu Chun washed her hands and took off her apron: "Young Master Long, are you going to stay at home for a while, or will you go with me to the river and call a few children back for dinner?"
Long Yubo naturally chose to go together.
When the two of them came to the river together, several children were still squatting by the river to fish, Sister Hu Chun couldn't help laughing when she saw Liao Zuoren and Liao Jingren's brothers, they didn't know where they were, they were covered in mud, and even the small noodles were sticky a lot, and they looked like they were out of the mire.
"Eldest sister~" Sister Hu Xia saw Sister Hu Chun, and waved her hand happily at Sister Hu Chun, Sister Hu Chun couldn't help but smile forward: "Why did you two brothers do this?"
Sister Xia smiled and pointed to a muddy place not far away: "Brother Jing Brother Jing had to catch earthworms by himself, and he fell in." ”
"Poof. Sister Hu Chun can't laugh.
Liao Zuoren Liao Jingren turned around when he heard this, and saw that there was a big brother of the Long family who had seen him a few times in the past few times next to Sister Hu Chun, and the original hippie smile was immediately put away, and it was replaced by the usual expression of bitterness and mercy.
The pitiful said: "Brother Long, why are you here? Are you here to catch us back?" The pitiful Baba said: "Brother Long, do you want us to finish eating before leaving." I heard Sister Xia say that Sister Chun's cooking is always delicious. ”
Long Yubo coughed lightly: "You two are really too naughty." ”
Liao Zuoren Liao Jingren saw that Long Yubo did not refuse, and immediately cheered when he knew that Bacheng agreed.
Hu Bincheng, who was looking at the fish hook fiercely on the side, jumped to his feet: "Ah, yes, all the fish are scared away for you!"
Everyone laughed.
The children's harvest in the morning was also a lot, several crucian carp the size of the palm, and there was still a carp seven or eight inches long. Liao Zuoren generally handed the small wooden bucket to Sister Hu Chun: "Sister Chun, I want to eat fish, red stew." ”
Liao Jingren added: "I want to eat steamed noodles. ”
Sister Hu Chun didn't pick it up, and said with a blank face: "Don't think about it all." ”
The two children froze.
Hu Bincheng laughed secretly: "My eldest sister doesn't dare to kill fish, our family's fish have always been bought and killed." ”
Liao Zuoren and Liao Jingren looked at each other, okay, they can understand that girls don't dare to kill living creatures. The two brothers were a little unwilling to move their eyes to Long Yubo's body, Long Yubo noticed it, and gave them a sentence before they opened their mouths: "Don't think about it." ”
The two brothers looked crying, smashed their mouths, and followed back.
As a result, as soon as I entered the room, I looked at the table full of dishes on the table in the room, and suddenly cheered, and all the grievances ran out of the clouds.
The two brothers were about to rush to the table with one arrow step, but Sister Hu Chun helplessly stretched out her palm to stop: "Two young masters, can we go wash our hands and face first?" When Aunt Xun saw it, she would suspect that I fished you two out of the quagmire. ”
In fact, the clothes were not wet, but they were sticky with mud, and they looked very dirty.
Liao Zuoren and Liao Jingren stuck out their tongues, and honestly followed Sister Hu Xia to wash their hands.
“...... By the way, Sister Chun, I'm not the eldest young master, I'm the second young master. ”
"I'm the Third Young Master!"
Sister Hu Chun: "......"
Liao Jingren, who had eaten a meal, almost wanted to live in Sister Hu Chun's house and not go back, but this was impossible, not to mention other problems, Sister Hu Chun's house was not enough now, which was enough to kill them in seconds.
Sister Hu Chun couldn't help but sigh with relief when she saw that her brothers were all in a state of distress when they left: "Our parents' house is about to be built, and I will discuss with Aunt Xun at that time, and it is okay to take you two over to live for a few days." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the twins all lit up.
Long Yubo rode immediately, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but add a sentence, and he also thought about coming over to live for a few days.
However, this is not possible at all, except for ......
Long Yubo frowned slightly, and finally returned to the county without saying a word with the dirty Liao Zuoren and Liao Jingren brothers.
can be regarded as sending it back, Sister Hu Chun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and prepared to enter the courtyard, but found that Sister Hu Hui was standing under the tree not far away, I don't know how long I looked at her, and her eyes were strange and abnormal.
Seeing that Sister Hu Chun noticed her, Sister Hu Hui raised her voice at this point: "You still have the face to teach me? What are you? ”
Sister Hu Chun also led her little brother and sister into the courtyard without raising her head.
As the days passed, the soap shop named "Spring and Summer" officially opened.
The seven new soaps became the store's signs, and many wives were invited to go out to buy them on the first day, and even if they couldn't get there, they sent servants to help them buy them. There are even many wives and ladies from other counties who come here.
The number of soaps is limited, and only two types of soaps are released in quantities every hour, while supplies last.
As a result, some people buy soap that they like, but they don't go to the store to shop for others, and the store will sell some other very delicate fat powder and lipstick in addition to the soap. The good sales of soap also greatly promoted the sales of other products, and the turnover on the first day of opening reached 50 taels of silver.
Naturally, this is also related to the release of a batch of extremely expensive soap gift boxes on the first day.
Although the price of this soap gift box is high, because of the collection of seven kinds of soap at one time, it sells very well, and it is all sold out in less than an hour.
Mrs. Cheng and Sister Hu Chun were at the Dongting Winery opposite the store, looking at the grand scene of people coming and going in the store, and they couldn't stop smiling.
Mrs. Cheng shook her wine very happily: "It seems that you can start looking for some land to use as a workshop this month to expand the production of soap." ”
Sister Hu Chun nodded, and had a headache: "Aunt Xun, do you have any subordinates who are good at managing business? ”
Is this going straight to handing over the financial power to her partner?
Mrs. Cheng felt a burst of warmth for Sister Hu Chun's unconditional trust, and she patted Sister Hu Chun's shoulder with a surging mood: "I have a few shops under my name, and over the years, thanks to the operation of a family accompanied by my mother's family, if you believe me, I will allocate him and take care of the soap." ”
Sister Hu Chun nodded: "I believe in Mrs." ”
Mrs. Cheng was moved, she took a sip of the wine in the wine and smiled: "You can rest assured, I have a hunch, our soap will definitely go further!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying anything.
