Chapter 114: The First Entry into the Republic of China (34)
Looking at the strange guy again, Chen Twelve had also taken care of the affairs of the Chen Mansion for a while, and he really couldn't remember when this little guy entered the Chen Mansion, so he asked Chen Weilin with a smile: "Master, this little guy is so good-eyed, when did he come in?" ”
Chen Weilin turned his head to look at the little guy behind him, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a distant relative of their family that Old Man Li told you two days ago, you promised him to let this kid stay in Chen's Mansion to do chores, I thought that Old Man Li is also old, there should be someone to support him for the elderly, and it is not bad to take his position, so I took him with me." ”
"Old man Li? The one who guards the door? Chen Twelve subconsciously asked, Chen Weilin smiled and nodded: "What, you don't remember what you promised?" "Chen Twelve is not a smoke, so naturally he doesn't know these things.
From this point of view, the distant relatives of this old man Li who ran out inexplicably are the most suspicious, but the suspicion of Wu's mother and Wangfu cannot be ruled out.
Chen Twelve picked up the soufflé tea and took a sip again, glancing at the three people behind Chen Weilin, watching their reactions.
Sure enough, when she saw "Yan'er" and took another sip of soufflé tea, Wu's mother suddenly raised her head and looked over.
Chen Twelve narrowed his eyes, put down the tea in his hand, and heard an undetectable sound of relief from behind.
It seems that there are a lot of ghosts, snakes and gods on this ship, the Lin family has waited for many months without moving, and it must be on multiple insurances to deliberately do it at this moment, this maid is, and so is Wu's mother, although I don't know how the Lin family bought Wu's mother, but the facts are in front of me, and Wu's mother is afraid that she can't escape.
Chen Twelve deliberately dropped the purse with something on the ground, she now has a big belly, so it is naturally inconvenient to bend down to pick things up, so Mother Wu, who is closest to her, naturally picked up the purse and handed it to her.
Chen Twelve stretched out his hand to pick it up, but withdrew his hand when his index finger was about to touch his purse, looked at Wu's mother and said, "Ouch, you have been in Chen's Mansion for many years, right?" How many years has it been? ”
Mother Wu looked at Chen Weilin, Chen Weilin only thought they were chatting to relieve their boredom, and didn't care.
Seeing that Chen Weilin didn't speak, Mother Wu replied with a smile: "If you go back to your aunt's wife, the old slave has been in the Chen Mansion for twenty years. ”
"That's the old man of the Chen Mansion, and the whole Chen Mansion relies on you Wu." Chen Twelve stared at Mother Wu, wanting to find clues from her.
However, Mother Wu just held the purse respectfully, and then replied with her eyes and nose and heart: "Mrs. Aunt has tormented the old slave, the old slave is just a slave maid, how can she afford such a compliment." ”
Chen Twelve Pi said with a smile: "Mother Wu is too modest. ”
At this time, Mother Wu stared at the purse in her hand as if she knew something, and asked, "Mrs. Auntie, isn't this the purse of the eldest lady?" ”
Chen Twelve pretended to be surprised: "Oh, Xu is the eldest lady fell when I was here, but I took the wrong one, Mother Wu quickly opened it to see if it was the eldest lady's thing." ”
Mother Wu opened the purse unsuspectingly, closed it with only one look, and looked at Chen Twelve with a frightened expression.
Chen Weilin also noticed Wu's mother's demeanor and asked, "What, is there anything in the eldest lady's purse?" Mother Wu stammered and replied: "If you go back to the master, there is nothing." ”
Seeing this, Chen Twelve said: "Ah, I almost forgot, this purse was given to me by the eldest lady a few days ago, it is exactly the same as his one, I put some incense powder in it, why do you say that there is nothing?" ”
Wu's mother realized that she had been tricked, and her hands holding the red envelopes were white.
Chen Weilin's face was pale, he had never seen Wu's mother look like this, and he was about to take the purse in her hand to take a look, only to hear a "pop", colorful fireworks blooming in the night sky.
A group of people were quickly attracted by the fireworks, and only Chen Twelve was still staring at Mother Wu with heavy eyes.
Just when Mother Wu's face was pale and she didn't know what to do, Chen Twelve pulled her purse, glanced at her, turned her head and began to look at the fireworks in the sky.
The boss of the big golden rice store is indeed attentive, this time the fireworks are extraordinarily gorgeous, sometimes like golden chrysanthemums, peonies in full bloom, sometimes like colorful butterflies, dragons soaring, sometimes like fire trees, rainbow dance.
Just when the people on the painting boat were fascinated by the colorful fireworks, two people came up to the bottom of the boat.
The man had a big head and a thick neck, a golden gown like a beckoning cat, and a black fox fur around his neck, followed by a strong man with five big and three thick, wearing an ordinary gray short coat with a serious face.
The beckoning cat greeted Chen Weilin with a smile: "Governor, the New Year is auspicious!" Liu is far away, you can come to our fireworks will be really brilliant and shining! He arched his hands as he spoke.
Chen Weilin responded with a smile: "Boss Liu is serious, this is not a big New Year, I want to bring my family out to be lively." ”
"Yes, yes," the beckoning cat, known as Boss Liu, looked at Chen Twelve and gestured to Chen Weilin: "Who is this?" ”
Chen Weilin generously introduced: "This is the aunt wife of the governor of Bendu, Yan'er, this is Boss Liu of Dajin Rice Shop." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be my aunt and grandmother, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Boss Liu looked Chen Twelve up and down as he spoke, his eyes stayed for a long time when he saw her bulging abdomen, and then asked, "Auntie, grandma, how many months has this been?" ”
Chen Twelve just bowed his head, smiled shyly, and handed everything over to Chen Weilin.
Chen Weilin was very satisfied with the sensibility of "Yan'er", hugged her and said: "It's been more than six months, which is not small." ”
Chen Twelve, who was hugged, felt a little nervous in his heart, but now he was a smoker, so he could only endure it.
Boss Liu is very good at coming to things: "Ah, this is really a happy event, I will congratulate the Metropolitan Governor on getting a man!" Dragon and phoenix are auspicious! Chen Weilin's favorite thing to listen to now is that others say that Yan'er has a boy in his belly, and he also smiled and said: "Then inherit Boss Liu's auspicious words, hahaha!" ”
When Boss Liu and Chen Weilin were chatting, the man behind Boss Liu kept glancing at Chen Twelve, Chen Twelve was uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and Chen Weilin immediately turned his head to care about her: "What's wrong?" What are you? ”
Chen Twelve gestured with his eyes, Chen Weilin looked at the man, and Boss Liu hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Metropolitan Governor, little aunt and grandmother, let me introduce you, this is my younger brother, Liu Ben." ”
After speaking, he turned to look at the man and said in a rather stern tone: "Liu Ben, don't you want to pay New Year's greetings to the governor and the little aunt?" ”
