Chapter 253: Back to the store
Without waiting for Wangshu to speak, Lu Li on the side was born first: "Children are joking, Xiuyuan, don't take it seriously." ”
Whether it is Wei Zijin who said that he wants to marry Lu Wangshu, or Lu Wangshu's resolute refusal, it is just a child's heart, just say it casually, if it is serious, it will not hurt the feelings.
But Wei Xiuyuan was a half-old child, and took the initiative to ask Lu Wangshu this question, although he was indeed a little dissatisfied in his heart, but it was more of a joke, so he didn't hear what Lu Li said, and asked again: "Wangshu, you tell your uncle honestly, why don't you want Zijin to marry you?" ”
Lu Li was about to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Man, and the other party signaled with his eyes not to say any more, and the man had no choice but to give up.
Lu Wangshu put away the bamboo slips spread out on the table, and said seriously: "Sister Zijin and I are still children, how can we talk about these things?" ”
Wei Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and the three adults next to him couldn't help laughing, and almost laughed.
If Lu Wangshu is steady, it is indeed a stable child that is rare in the entire Donglan Kingdom, but in the end, he is just a child of more than three years old, and there are still many things he doesn't understand.
For this answer, Wei Xiuyuan was a little confused, and he didn't care about Xia Wanrou's obstruction, he asked again: "Then what if you grow up?" Don't you want to marry Zijin's sister either? ”
Hearing this, Lu Wangshu touched his chin with one hand and thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"Don't know? How can this be answered by not knowing! Wei Xiuyuan was a little anxious, obviously, he was not just trying to prove his daughter's charm now, but he had a strong curiosity about Lu Wangshu's thoughts.
He casually pulled the small bench and sat down, looking at Lu Wangshu level, "Wangshu, uncle asked you, do you think Sister Zijin is not good?" ”
After asking this, not only Xia Wanrou and other adults became interested, but even Wei Zijin rubbed his eyes and looked at Lu Wangshu with a blank look, waiting for his answer.
But Lu Wangshu shook his head very seriously, "Sister Zijin is very good. “
"Then why don't you like her?" Wei Xiuyuan asked.
"I like my sister Zijin, but that doesn't mean I'm going to marry her, and we're still so young, no one knows what will happen in the future." Lu Wangshu seemed to treat Wei Xiuyuan as a younger child than him, and explained seriously: "A person is very good, but this doesn't mean that I have to marry her, Uncle Wei, do you understand?" ”
Such a simple truth, how could Wei Xiuyuan, who was already married and a father, not understand, but he looked at the child's explanation word by word, and his curiosity and desire to tease each other were even more serious: "Who taught you these things?" You see, isn't your mother very good, that's why your father married her? ”
thought that this would put Lu Wangshu in, but he didn't want the other party to shake his head firmly, "It's because my father and mother love each other, so they got married." ”
After speaking, he gave an example: "For example, Aunt Xia is also very good, but why didn't my father marry her?" My mother-in-law is also very good, why didn't Uncle Wei marry my mother-in-law? ”
In front of the child, Wei Xiuyuan felt embarrassed for the first time.
Looking at Wei Xiuyuan's cheeks and neck, which turned red when he was on the ground, Lu Li next to him stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Okay, okay, it's time to eat later, let's go to the house to talk first, the weather outside is getting colder, be careful of colds." ”
Wei Xiuyuan was the first to get up and leave, Xia Wanrou also chuckled and walked back with Zijin when she saw this, while Lu Li looked down at Wangshu slightly, and a little indescribable feeling rose in her heart.
I saw that Lu Wangshu was standing in place obediently, his black hair was neatly tied up, he was wearing a robe embroidered with bamboo leaves on a white background of the crescent moon, and he was still holding the bamboo slip in his hand, he was standing in front of his father with his mouth pursed, his big eyes blinking.
is worthy of being his own son, his behavior and speech are different, it seems that this Wei Xiuyuan will not dare to tease this child in the future.
However, what Lu Li didn't understand was that Wei Zijin, who was interested in having fun and frolicking in the past, how could he mention that he was going to marry Wangshu today, and he cried so sadly after being rejected, not like that child's style.
"Lu Li, what do you want?" Xiaoman stepped forward and grabbed the man's big palm, and held the child's small hand with the other hand, reminding: "The wind outside is getting colder, let's go into the house too." ”
Lu Xun nodded nonchalantly, "Well, let's go into the house." ”
After all, the two of them are still children, as soon as they entered the house, they forgot about Fang Cai's affairs, Wei Zijin went to play with Lu Wangshu again, Lu Wangshu didn't say anything more, the two laughed and laughed under the protection of Mama and others, and Fang Cai's affairs were as if nothing had happened.
However, Wei Xiuyuan was never happy in his heart, until the two families finished eating, and he mentioned the matter again: "Why didn't Lu Wangshu take the initiative to marry my family's Zijin, why did Zijin take the initiative to bring up this kind of thing?" ”
Xia Wanrou couldn't help but quietly twist him when she heard this, raised her eyes and glared at him, and said angrily: "You're not done yet, aren't you, you haven't been taught enough by Wangshu?" ”
Wei Xiuyuan laughed twice, twisted his body to avoid Xia Wanrou's "attack", and said with a smile: "I don't understand this matter, so I asked casually, Wangshu is not here now, he doesn't know about our conversation." ”
As he spoke, he straightened his posture and looked at Lu Li, and said with some resentment: "What is wrong with Zijin, why doesn't Wangshu want to be with her?" ”
It's just that they are not together, and they say so decisively, making their little girl cry so sadly, Wei Xiuyuan feels angry when he thinks about it.
"Why, if my family Wangshu wants to marry Zijin, will you be very happy?" Xiaoman asked rhetorically.
As soon as he said this, Wei Xiuyuan was embarrassed again.
Although he really doesn't like Lu Wangshu's stuffy temperament, this kid is a son of the world after all, and he is still the son of a friend, not to mention that his tutor is not much worse, he is very calm at a young age, and he can successfully avoid the trap set by himself, and he will definitely be able to grow into a pillar of talent in the future.
He held his chin and stared thoughtfully at the ground, his two sword eyebrows furrowed together, looking very embarrassed.
Seeing this, Xiao Man covered his lips and chuckled, and said, "It seems that Brother Wei is very satisfied with this family matter?" ”
"Huh? I... I'm not satisfied! Wei Xiuyuan, who reacted, jumped high, snorted a few times, walked around the house, and said indignantly: "Wangshu broke my daughter's heart at a young age and made her cry." It's really not a gentleman's doing, so I won't let my daughter marry him! ”
After speaking, he snorted at Lu Li again and muttered: "It's like an ice lump, it's boring!" ”
"Could it be that you still want Zijin to marry an unreliable man like you?" Lu Li would not ignore his friend's provocation, he folded his legs, leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, and said casually: "Last time we went to Yuncheng, almost everyone was there, didn't you arrange it?" is so unreliable, you can bear to let your daughter live with such a person in the future, always worrying about her life? ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Wei Xiuyuan was also interested, and he snorted coldly, "What about you?" A whole big ice bump, and he doesn't like to talk, if Zijin is with someone like you, then I'm afraid the second half of the generation will never have a chance to laugh again! ”
The two of you said a word, and the quarrel was in full swing, and it was very intense.
And Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou not only didn't have the intention of persuading each other, but also made a look, and while the men were arguing, the two quietly slipped out.
All the way out of the front yard, there were still only red jade and pearl beside the two, they slowly walked out of the house, talking and laughing towards the shop on East Street.
At this time, it has entered autumn, the autumn mood of Shangjing is not very obvious, but the wind is getting cooler and cooler, although it is already afternoon, but the streets of Shangjing are still bustling and lively, people come and go, occasionally there will be carriages passing by, listening to the hawkers' shouting, suddenly feel that it is not so cold.
"We haven't been to the store a few times since we came back from Yuncheng." Xiao Man looked at the Manrou Garment Workshop not far away with a smile, and said with some emotion.
Xia Wanrou nodded and responded: "Yes, but Lao Zhou runs this shop very well, even if we don't come, this business is still very good, and we don't need to worry about it." ”
Lao Zhou is a down-to-earth and sincere person, a few days ago they went to Yuncheng, and they couldn't read the account books and cashiers for a long time, which was not Lao Zhou's business, but he sorted out everything and the account books of the past two months and put them in the Lu Mansion in case they came back to check at any time.
As for the silver, Lao Zhou did not swallow half of it privately, and divided the accounts according to the income in the account book, which was very clear.
Speaking of this, Xiao Man also admired Lao Zhou very much, "Lao Zhou is also old, but he can still do everything so meticulously, it's really rare." ”
"And Aunt Yang, the two are comparable." Xia Wanrou echoed.
As they were talking, the two arrived at the door of the Manrou Garment Shop, and looking at the endless crowd of people coming in and out, Xiao Man felt more and more emotional.
When Lu Li went on the expedition, he was depressed and couldn't be interested in Shangjing, or Xia Wanrou reminded herself that she wanted to open a shop, but then the business was not good, and she suffered so many hardships, and some people maliciously made things difficult, and she became pregnant in the later stage, but these pains are not over......
The past things surfaced little by little, and those pains and sufferings also surfaced in his heart, which made Xiaoman feel a little more sad for no reason.
Fortunately, the two gritted their teeth and persevered, thanks to Xia Wanrou who always encouraged her and told her not to give up, it was also Xia Wanrou who supported the entire store by herself when she was pregnant and it was becoming more and more difficult to go out......
"Xiaoman, shall we go in?"
Xia Wanrou's voice interrupted Xiao Man's memories, she raised her lips and smiled, clenched the other party's wrist, and said with a smile: "Okay, I just don't know if going in at this time will disturb their business." ”
Hearing this, Xia Wanrou turned around and tapped the tip of her nose, "You forgot, there is a small attic above the store, let's go to the attic." ”
