Chapter 163: Another Moth
King Hong brought her another cup, and after making sure that he had fallen, he got up and led his servant out of the pavilion.
In the front hall, the Li family glanced at the rows around him with some envy and a little sourness, "I heard that Dr. Chang and their marriage this time were all handled by you, not only did it yourself, but all the expenses were also handled by the Huangfu family, right?" ”
Huangfu Xue's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, wanting to pretend that she didn't hear anything, and planned to continue picking up vegetables, only to hear Li's voice in her ears again, "Deaf?" I'll talk to you. ”
"Mother, this matter was agreed by my father, and besides, Dr. Chang and Caiyu have been in the Huangfu family for so many years, there is no credit and hard work, it is just a simple wedding, and it can be regarded as a congratulatory gift from our Huangfu family." Huang Fuxue said the words she had thought of before and ignored them. Li Shi disagreed, "What kind of hard work is just two subordinates." If you are so rich, why haven't you been generous to us? ”
"Mother, I'm not messing around, I'm just talking about things. If you must reason with me, then I will also reason with you, although our Huangfu family did not give you much cash, food and accommodation are all from the Huangfu family. In addition, half of the father-in-law's money was given to his mother, does his mother think it is not enough? ”
"Hmph, the boss is the boss, yours is yours, how can your filial piety be mixed with the boss." Li snorted coldly and deliberately found fault, "Don't talk about those who don't have it, today we are talking about this wedding, look at this pomp, a lot of money has been spent inside and out." ”
"Not much, a thousand taels." Originally, Huang Fuxue didn't want to say this, but when she saw that the Li family looked natural and reasonable, she was angry. She naturally knew what the concept of one thousand taels was for ordinary people, and she also knew how angry Li should be after she said this number, but he did it on purpose, and sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Li really dropped his chopsticks and stood up. "What, a thousand taels?"
"You loser's thing, just a minion, you actually shot a thousand taels, you ...... Why aren't you so generous to us, or in your eyes, I, as a mother-in-law, is not as good as him. The more Li spoke, the more angry he became, "My life is really miserable...... I finally found my son, and I met such a daughter-in-law......"
Li Caiyi sat aside, looking at this scene, not to mention how proud she was, but she was worried that she would be seen as different, so she forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and got up to pull Li, "Auntie, you are angry, my cousin may not mean that, she just cares about Sister Caiyu...... As for those silver taels, my aunt also knew that the Huangfu family had a big business, and it was only a thousand taels of silver, and my cousin-in-law would not take it seriously at all. ”
Hinting at the Li family, Huangfu Xue said this on purpose. The purpose is to anger him. The Li family is getting up, where can they listen to these persuasions, and stared at Huangfu Xue with a displeased face, "Yes, their Huangfu family is rich, but what can they do if they are rich, it's not that they can't give birth to a son if they are rich, and in the end, they can only watch and give away this ten thousand family wealth?" ”
Huangfu Xue frowned slightly, she knew that the Li family did it on purpose, but she was still uncomfortable in her heart, this matter was almost a taboo in the Huangfu family, although Huang Fuxue didn't think so, but the Li family said this in front of so many outsiders, if he didn't say anything at all, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous.
"What my mother said is, however, no matter what you think now, the matter has become a foregone conclusion......" When it came to the general words, An Mingchen walked over with a smile, Li Caiyi saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward, reaching out to grab An Mingchen's sleeve, but grabbed a void.
"Cousin, my cousin-in-law and my aunt quarreled, don't be too angry, in fact, my cousin-in-law didn't mean it, he just ......" Li Caiyi saw that An Mingchen didn't even look at him from beginning to end, and felt a little aggrieved. At this time, An Mingchen had already walked up to Huangfu Xue, reached out and pulled her up and down to check it, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was not injured.
"What's wrong?" Huangfu Xue glanced at Li Shi and did not speak. When Li saw An Mingchen coming, he first cared about Huangfu Xue, and then he was afraid that he would bully him, so he looked resentful, "Boss, what do you mean by this, do you doubt what I will do to her?" You don't know how powerful your daughter-in-law is, even if there are two more people, they are not his opponents. ”
"Mother, today is Dr. Chang's big day, if there is anything we have to say, let's go back and talk about it, don't let people cut jokes here."
"Look at the joke? Do others see less of our jokes? But the boss, you defend this woman everywhere, for a subordinate, a shot is a thousand taels, I, a mother-in-law, have lived in the Huangfu's house for a few days and haven't seen her treat me so well? Boss, tell me, is my mother making trouble unreasonably, or is she going too far? ”
"Mother, the lady didn't take the initiative to give you money, but you eat and live in the Huangfu's house, and you also have my money when you go out on weekdays, so you really don't need so much money. Doctor Chang and Caiyu have been in the Huangfu family for so long, but the Huangfu family gave them a wedding, have you ever thought that now the second sister, the third sister and even the fourth brother have not yet married, and when they get married, will the Huangfu family sit idly by? Will the Huangfu family let them be wronged at that time? ”
Li Shi was stunned when she heard this, she was just jealous when she heard a thousand taels of silver, but now after listening to the boss's analysis, she immediately felt a lot better. Yes, the Huangfu family is so benevolent to a subordinate, let alone to their in-laws. She has three children who are not yet married, especially Wanru, who will marry into the palace in the future, if the Huangfu family is willing to pay a dowry at that time, it will be like being looked down upon in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Shi's eyes became a lot more affectionate when he looked at Huangfu Xue again. Huangfu Xue and An Mingchen glanced at each other and did not speak. At the time of the stalemate, a holy decree came from the palace. The emperor knew that they were married today, and rewarded them with a lot of silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry. Everyone in the courtyard looked at Caiyu and Chang Baiyu again, and their eyes changed and changed.
Chang Baiyu didn't expect the emperor to send congratulatory gifts, knowing that it was because of An Mingchen, he sent the people in the palace away, and stepped forward to say thank you to An Mingchen.
"Doctor Chang doesn't need to thank me, you have worked hard to get all this today. The emperor is grateful for your free clinic last time. You can take it with peace of mind. ”
Li Shi looked at the rewards in the courtyard and directly reddened his eyes, pulled An Mingchen's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "When your second sister gets married, will the emperor also reward so many things?" ”
An Mingchen just said it casually, but he didn't expect that the Li family not only took it seriously, but also paid attention to the tribute. I didn't know what to say for a while.
"Mother, what about the second sister, why haven't you seen her for so long?" An Mingchen remembered that An Wanru had left with King Hong just now, but King Hong was here now, but there was no trace of An Wanru, so he hurriedly reminded the Li family. After he reminded him of this, Li also noticed that something was wrong.
"yes, I haven't seen that girl for a while, and I don't know where he went, so I'm going to look for her, this dead girl. This place can also be walked around casually? Li muttered and left the place. An Mingchen turned around and walked to Huangfu Xue, "Lady, the matter here is almost over, let's go back first." ”
"It's fine." Huangfu Xue saw that it was still early, and was ready to go to the shop to have a look. When An Mingchen heard this, he directly proposed to go over. Huangfu Xue was a little uncomfortable when she saw him suddenly being so clingy, "Didn't you say that there have been a lot of things in the yamen recently, why don't you go to the yamen to take a look?" ”
"I said I would take a leave today, and I would ask for a leave today. Things are busy, but it's a lady, I heard that the business of the restaurant is getting better and better, and it should be very busy recently. Xianggong, I can't help you on weekdays, so it's rare to accompany you to take a look if I have time today. He took her hand and the two of them walked out of the courtyard together.
Li Caiyi kept staring at the two of them, and glared at them in displeasure when she saw them leave. I thought to myself, my cousin should have been hers, why should she give it up, no, she must take back what belongs to her. Huangfu Xue, hmph, doesn't she just rely on a good identity, if she also has such an identity, will her cousin be so good to her?
If it weren't for the accident back then, wouldn't they be where they are now, and wouldn't she be the one who is staying by her cousin's side now? The more Li Caiyi thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was a matter of course......
It's past dinner time, it's rare to be so quiet in the restaurant, Huang Fuxue took An Mingchen directly to the second floor, pushed open the door and walked in, "I still have to look at the account book for a while, if you feel bored, find something to do yourself." ”
"I'll read the ledger with you." An Mingchen took the account book on the table and opened it to look at it, he had done this kind of thing many times, and he was very handy. Huangfu Xue originally wanted to be polite, but looking at the piles of ledgers on the table, she suddenly didn't want to be polite. In the afternoon, two people were much faster than one person, and before dinner, all the ledgers on the table were read.
"Let's go back after dinner here." Thinking of the Li family's gang, Huang Fuxue didn't want to go home so early. Putting down the last account book, An Mingchen glanced at the sky outside the window and nodded with a smile, "I heard that the restaurant has launched a lot of new dishes during this time, and I have long wanted to try them." ”
Huang Fuxue knew that he had guessed what he meant, and this would be cooperating with her. Smiled happily, "Okay." I'll let the magpies serve the food now. ”
In the courtyard, all the guests left at ten o'clock in the evening, and the maids who stayed behind helped to clean up the courtyard, and left before dark. In addition to the original maids, there are only Chang Baiyu and Caiyu left in this courtyard. Chang Baiyu drank a lot of wine, and although An Mingchen helped block a lot, he still drank a lot of wine. This will help the little girl staggered back to the new house, Caiyu sat on the edge of the bed, waiting a little sleepy, this will be resting against the edge of the bed, heard the sound of the door opening, and woke up suddenly.
"Xianggong, you're back......"
