Chapter 119: Mrs. Chen is here
Shutong went home normally and had a hearty dinner.
The housekeeper Li Han came over and told her that the preparations for the winery were ready, and she was waiting for the auspicious day of the zodiac to start. Look at the meaning, I still want to dredge Tong, the owner, to come out and take charge.
Shu Tong waved his hand, once again emphasizing that he didn't want to care about these trivial things, just waiting for the brewed wine, Li Han had no choice but to retreat.
A few days later, Li Han and Zhang Dewen chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the winery opened.
Firecrackers rang out, the scene was lively, and everyone was in full swing.
Dredging just took the time to turn around, knowing that the brewing needs to wait, the more aging the wine, the more time it needs to precipitate, and he can't help but smash his mouth.
Fortunately, there is a reserve in the storehouse at home, and there is no shortage of wine for the time being.
strolled home, but heard Cuiyun come to report that a guest came to the door.
When I looked up, it was an acquaintance.
I saw a woman in Tsing Yi pulling a little girl, standing by the door with some restraint and anxiety.
Shu Tong smiled, "Mrs. Chen, it's actually you?" Come in and sit. ”
Seeing Shutong's smiling face, Mrs. Chen's nervous mood eased and entered the small courtyard.
"Miss Xiaoyue, I took the liberty to come to the door and disturbed me!"
Shutong beckoned her to sit down, and Cuiyun brought tea.
"What kind words to say, I'm glad you came, I haven't eaten the plum blossom cake you made for a long time, I've thought about it."
Mrs. Chen smiled and brought up the basket she was carrying at her feet.
"I know that the girl likes the dim sum I make, so I made more for you to taste."
He took out a large bag from the basket, opened the tarpaulin, and lifted another layer of fine white cloth to reveal the beautiful pastry inside.
Shu Tong was happy, and unceremoniously picked up one and ate it, "It's still so delicious, Mrs. Chen is too polite, bring me so much, thank you." ”
Seeing that she was still satisfied with her craftsmanship, Chen Niangzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "The girl is the lifesaver of our mother and daughter, as she should be!"
Shutong ate seven or eight pieces of plum blossom cake, and Gu came out of the house. "Ah, there's a guest at home, Xiaoyue, who is this ......?"
Seeing an old woman with gray hair, Mrs. Chen guessed that it was Xiaoyue's elder, and when she thought of the purpose of this trip, she stood up nervously.
A little embarrassed to say, "The old lady is good!" The slave family is a native of Anseong. Miss Satsuki once saved the lives of my mother and daughter, and I came to thank her. ”
Shutong introduced them for them, "Mrs. Chen, this is my grandmother, grandmother, this is Mrs. Chen, the plum blossom cake she made is particularly delicious, you see she specially brought such a big bag to me." ”
Gu Shi saw that this little daughter-in-law was handsome, and he also had a good impression.
Waving his hand, "You're welcome when you get home, sit down." ”
looked at the little girl next to Mrs. Chen's legs, and said with a smile: "This is your daughter, who looks weird and handsome." ”
Mrs. Chen hurriedly pulled her daughter out, "This is my daughter Sister Fang, Sister Fang call quickly." This is my mother-in-law, this is my sister, and it is my sister who saved us! ”
Sitting down again, Shu Tong looked at Sister Fang's big eyes and glanced at the plum blossom cake on the table from time to time, and couldn't guess what she meant.
beckoned to her, "Sister Fang, do you want to eat too, come and eat together, your mother's craftsmanship is so good." ”
Sister Fang was a little frightened, turned her head and buried her face behind Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "This kid is timid. ”
Shu Tong saw that Sister Fang was younger than the cowherd Wang'er in the family, and waved her hand indifferently.
I remember that when she left, she handed over Xu Duwei and Jinxiang Hou to Hengxuan, he should have mastered Ancheng, I don't know what the situation is now?
opened his mouth and asked, "Mrs. Chen, is the situation in Ancheng good now?" Who is in charge of the Governor's Mansion? ”
Mrs. Chen smiled and sighed: "Since the girl left, there has been a commotion in the city. Soldiers patrol the streets every day, and those of us who do small business don't dare to go out into the stalls. After a few days, I heard that the prince of Zhennan became the governor of Ancheng. ”
Shu Tong was surprised, "Hengxuan became a lieutenant, didn't he set himself up as a king?" ”
Mrs. Chen's face changed, and she hurriedly said, "Girl, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Gu Shi was also startled, and hurriedly patted Shutong, "You kid is really open-mouthed, can you say that you are a king?" Isn't that a rebellion? If it reaches the ears of him, it will be obtained. ”
Shu Tong rolled his eyes secretly, Hengxuan really wanted to rebel, but the two of them were not scared lightly, and they didn't insist.
smiled: "The prince of Zhennan has become a captain, there should be no oppression of the people in the city, right?" ”
Chen Niangzi said after a pause: "The city is now heavily guarded, and there is indeed less bullying of the people, but I am always a little uneasy, feeling like something big is going to happen." ”
She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I heard from the guests that there is a rebel army in the north, and I don't know if there is a war. ”
Shu Tong touched his chin, it was only a matter of time before a war fought, Hengxuan might still be waiting for King Zhao to raise troops first! These ancients dragged their work and were not happy.
said: "I heard that the current emperor is a fool, maybe one day it will be chaotic." ”
Mrs. Chen frowned when she heard this, and remained silent.
Gu Shi shouted with a tiger face: "Xiao Yue! The more you talk about it, the more boundless it becomes, and the major affairs of the court are also something that we ordinary people can discuss. ”
Shu Tong pouted and said, "Okay, I won't say it." By the way, Mrs. Chen, are you visiting relatives this time? ”
Mrs. Chen hesitated a little and sighed: "There is no one at home for a long time, where are there any relatives?" Now our mother and daughter depend on each other. ”
Gu looked at her sympathetically, strange and dressed so plainly, it turned out to be a little widow.
"What, is there no one in your mother's house?"
Mrs. Chen shook her head with a gloomy face.
Gu Shi looked at her like this, and sighed in her heart, orphans and widows, with this kind of appearance, her life is sad.
"It's not easy for you to be a young woman with a child."
Gu's words made Mrs. Chen burst into tears, and she also knew that it was not good to cry like this in someone else's house, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve.
Hesitantly, he said, "Little, Miss Xiaoyue, I came here to ......." ”
Shu Tong looked at her spitting and spitting, looking embarrassed, and couldn't help asking.
"Mrs. Chen! If you have something to say, just say it. ”
Mrs. Chen didn't know how confused she was, so she pinned her hopes on a little girl.
But this little moon girl is a capable person, maybe by her side, her life will be better.
Biting his lip, he finally spoke: "I, I live in Ancheng and feel uneasy. I've heard that there are wars going on everywhere out there now. Even if Anseong fights one day! ”
"I don't have anything myself, but Sister Fang is still young, and she is the only bloodline of my father-in-law, I don't dare to let her stay in a dangerous place, I want to move out of Ancheng after thinking about it, but I have nowhere to go. So I cheekily took the child to join Miss Xiaoyue. ”
Almost with shame, she finished speaking in one breath, lowering her head, not daring to look at Shutong.
Gu's face sank when she heard this, this little widow didn't know who she was, how did she find Xiaoyue without relatives and no reason, shouldn't she have some purpose!
