Chapter 319: To Each His Own Mind
Suning'er instructed Shuang'er to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and while the couple was eating, they also reported the progress of the work in the cemetery and the mansion.
Waiting to finish talking about the funeral, Suning'er suddenly remembered Zhao Yuanqi and couldn't help asking: "The brother of the big house has come to the house, can the husband meet him?" ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Yuanbai chewed the food in his mouth and swallowed it slowly, before he replied slowly: "Brother came here because of the matter of Aya and the Liu family. ”
"It's for the new city in Luoyang again?"
"It's not all", Zhao Yuanbai's beautiful eyes blinked carelessly, lowered his head and whispered: "Aya and the Liu family are going to buy the porcelain kiln and Zhuangzi that the Tao family has sent out. ”
"Ah, the porcelain kiln and the Zhuangzi?"
Suning'er's eyes were round and dumbfounded, and she couldn't believe that Zhao Pingguang was so ambitious: "It seems that my father is going to do something drastic." ”
"Okay, don't be sarcastic about me."
Zhao Yuanbai looked at her with a bitter face: "The Tao family's porcelain kiln will only be a hot potato if it is taken over now, it is obviously a loss-making business, and my Zhao family has never done business in this area, and suddenly took over such a large plate, not to mention that it can't produce good porcelain, even if it is made, such a large quantity, where will it be sold for a while?" ”
"It's the same", Suning'er smiled gently: "It must be the Tao family's idea again, the Tao family's porcelain reputation is now completely ruined, and if you use their signboards, I am afraid that it will not be able to return to the peak of the past." ”
"Most of the porcelain of the Tao family still relies on the porcelain-making technology of the south, and then relies on the support of the Tian family and the party at the beginning, and the things produced are not of the highest quality."
Zhao Yuanbai took a long breath and frowned: "I, Zhao Yi, don't like these unpragmatic tricks, now that the sea route is picking up, Hu merchants are coming to the dynasty one after another, business is the time of prosperity, Xinshi and cabinet fangs and mansions are good livelihoods, how can I let Aya do such a foolish thing." ”
"It seems that the Tao family is not really helping my father take care of the Zhao family's business."
"Of course, she naturally wouldn't have such a good intention."
Zhao Yuanbai sneered with great disdain: "I want to see what tricks she can play." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Suning'er again, and continued to add: "By the way, let's see how many people in my Zhao family are wall grasses who can see the wind and rudder." ”
She had already seen this, but she didn't know what he should do if the Zhao family was really in chaos at this time.
She asked with some concern: "The second uncle didn't want the Liu family to be in charge, and the brothers and sisters in the second room wanted to separate from the Zhao family. ”
"You don't have to worry about this madam", Zhao Yuanbai was calm, and Suning'er looked at him as if he had already made a bamboo in his chest.
She looked at Zhao Yuanbai and said, "Does Zujun know about this matter?" ”
"Zu Jun thinks that there are numbers in his heart."
Su Ning'er nodded thoughtfully, and she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the two ancestors and grandchildren.
Hengzhu is now in this Zhao family, she can't control it, and let him toss it.
After eating, Zhao Yuanbai told her to rest early, and then went to the front yard.
Shuang'er and Qin'er listened to it behind them for a long time, all in the clouds, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yiniang, what is Langzi going to do, I heard that Langzi invested a lot of money in Luoyang two months ago, and now the construction period is delayed, and it will be the New Year's Festival soon, didn't Langzi say that he would go to Yangzhou next year." ”
"Why are you two girls asking so much", Suninger straightened her clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, and said gently: "He has always had his own opinions, let's just do the funeral for my aunt now, and we don't need to ask more about the rest." ”
Qin'er pursed her lips and said sullenly: "Yiniang and Langzi have been weird recently, and they seem to be hiding their hearts and refusing to say anything. ”
Su Ning'er sighed silently, it was not that she didn't want to talk to him about the things in her heart, but she didn't know how to talk to Zhao Yuanbai about this matter now.
And the secret that Zhao Yuanbai carried in his heart, although this stunned young man didn't tell herself, she could guess a rough idea.
After resting in Tanghua Courtyard, she led Shuang'er and Qin'er to the mourning hall.
In the mourning hall, the two aunts were persuading Su Ningxiang on the side, and Su Que knelt silently on the side.
Su Ningxiang, the girl, kept crying every day, and the circles around her eyes were red and swollen like panda eyes because of sadness and too long a vigil.
Su Ning'er looked worried, Lang Zhai was busy entertaining and mourning guests outside all day, even if he had some leisure, he probably didn't have any heart to comfort Su Ningxiang at this time.
And Su Jing needless to say, he spends most of his days stuffing himself in the house, except for occasionally coming out to meet guests.
People who don't know think that he is so sad that he can't take care of himself because his wife died young.
Only Suning'er and Qi Shi understand his current state of mind, I'm afraid it's very contradictory.
Su Ning'er also knew that a pregnant woman like her should not appear in the mourning hall more, but she heard that her cousin had not eaten water and rice for four or five days since the death of Zhou, so how could it be a long-term solution.
This has always been sincere and filial, at most it is only a three-day hunger strike, and if you continue to starve, it will kill you.
Qi and the two aunts persuaded her not to move, and he had to persuade her again.
She asked Yin Xiu to go to the kitchen room and bring some white porridge to the side hall to wait, knelt down on the futon next to Su Ningxiang, looked sideways at her chapped lips, and said with sad concern: "Sister, I told the girls to prepare a bowl of white porridge, you go to the side hall to rest and come back, Sister will guard here for you." ”
Su Ningxiang knelt on the ground dejectedly, as if she hadn't heard her words at all.
Suning'er came closer and helped her patiently persuade: "Sister, auntie passed away suddenly, everyone is very sad, but you can't abuse your body like this, if your aunt has a spirit in the sky, she can't go on the road with peace of mind when she sees you so careless about herself." ”
Su Ningxiang listened to Su Ning'er's words, and cried again, her voice was hoarse as if sandpaper was grinding on the table, and the tears in her eyes were instantly stuck with her eyelashes.
She threw herself into Suning'er's arms, and her sobbing voice was intermittent, sometimes urgent: "Sister, woo, sister, woo, I won't have a mother in the future." ”
Su Que couldn't help but squeeze out a tear when he heard her sad words.
Suning'er gently rubbed her back and whispered: "Sister, you still have Sister, Father and my mother, Que and Auntie, we will take care of you." ”
Saying this, she instructed Su Que again: "Ah Que, hurry up and help your second sister to go to the side hall to use some porridge and come over." ”
Su Que's eyes turned timidly, and Su Ning'er persuaded Su Ningxiang again: "Sister, be obedient, go quickly, don't let your aunt go uneasy." ”
Su Ningxiang was supported by Su Que and finally stood up, staggering and unable to stand on her feet, and the two aunts went over to help her, so that her center of gravity could be stabilized.
Looking at the thin and thin back, the corners of Suning'er's eyes suddenly moistened for some reason.
