Approaching the New Year, the streets are full of vendors selling New Year's goods, as well as stalls selling snacks such as sugar gourds and rice cakes.

Lu Li held Xiao Man's hand tightly, and the two of them slowly and leisurely wandered around the streets of Shangjing, Pearl Jade and the two little guys followed behind the two, looking at the two people who were very affectionate, occasionally secretly discussing a few words, and with a blessed smile on their faces.

After walking for about half a cup of tea, Xiao Man looked at the familiar street, couldn't hide his excitement and looked sideways at Lu Li, his eyes brightened, "It's almost there." ”

"Okay." Lu Li clenched Xiao Man's hand, his eyes were full of tenderness and doting.

Xia Wanrou was preparing for the New Year in the house, so only the guys in the store were busy, but fortunately, Lao Zhou was old and stable, and he could manage the entire store in an orderly manner.

Because it was still early, there were few customers in the store, and the guys were cleaning, talking and laughing very harmoniously.

Seeing this, Xiao Man chuckled twice, then glanced sideways, raised his eyebrows, and showed off a little, "How is it?" This shop is okay, right? ”

"The lady is smart and wise, and she takes care of this shop very well, Lu admires it." Lu Li raised the corners of his lips and praised very cooperatively.

When these words come out of other people's mouths, it is flattery, but when they come out of Lu Li's mouth, they seem to be affectionate and meaningful, and people can't afford to be suspicious.

With that, the two of them raised their feet and entered the door. The guys in the store had never seen Lu Li, so when they saw Xiaoman and a strange man coming over, everyone's faces were puzzled, until Pearl stepped forward and said, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you show the two shopkeepers tea?" ”

"Shopkeeper?" Lao Zhou froze for a moment, then patted his head, and grinned, "Presumably this is General Lu, right?" What a faux pas just now, a faux pas! ”

Saying that, Wang Qi and the others hurriedly put down the work in their hands, served tea and water, and were very attentive.

Although it was a little inelegant for them to drink tea and chat here, they should have gone to the attic, but because of the sparse flow of people at this time, and the guys in the store were excited when they saw Lu Li, where did anyone mention that they should go upstairs.

Especially Wang Qi's young man, his face turned red with excitement, and he looked like he wanted to come forward to say hello, but he was afraid that he would disturb Lu Li.

"Wang Qi?" Xiao Man deliberately called him over, then pointed to Lu Li, and teased Wang Qi, "I heard that you have always admired General Lu, and you know him better than me as a lady. ”

Wang Qi's face was even redder, he rubbed his hands helplessly, laughing, crying, in short, it was very awkward, like a little daughter-in-law.

Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but cover his lips and smile, and the guys in the room all looked over to this side, all of them smiling.

In the end, Wang Qi didn't know who he was inspired by, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward and say a few words to Lu Li, his already red face became even redder, and he was even more excited and wanted to go out and run a few laps to calm down.

The two sat for a while, and guests came to the store one after another, seeing that the store would be getting busier and busier, Xiao Man instructed Lao Zhou a few words, and then left with Lu Li.

Next, the two of them bought and stopped all the way, and the little guy behind them carried a lot of New Year's goods and snacks, and even Xiaoman held a string of half-eaten sugar gourds in his hand. Between talking and laughing, the two went to the Manrou embroidery workshop on Willow Street.

Qin Chun was busy inside, as soon as she heard that Xiaoman was coming, she was busy putting down the work in her hand to greet her, Qin Chun, who wanted to run to Xiaoman, saw Lu Li, she hurriedly stopped, and then saluted the man, "I don't know that General Lu is also here, I have lost my welcome, and I hope General Lu will forgive me." ”

Lu Li waved his hand again and again, "Today I am your Su shopkeeper's entourage, you don't have to do these false courtesies." ”

"Yes." Qin Chun got up and looked at Xiao Man with a smile, "Why did the shopkeeper come here today?" It's almost the Chinese New Year, and more and more people are making new clothes, and the guys are busy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you. ”

Xiaoman also knew about this situation, so he just smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just casually shopping today." ”

Saying that, Xiao Manchu suddenly became narrow-minded, she pulled Lu Li on the side, and said with a smile: "This man has never seen the world, I pulled him to see my business, so that he can open his eyes." ”

After speaking, Xiao Man looked at Lu Li with a smile, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

It was a funny remark, but it happened that Lu Li was very cooperative, and after Xiaoman finished speaking, he nodded very seriously, "That's right, I have been in the bitter cold land of the border for a long time, and I have forgotten how prosperous this Shangjing is." Today, thanks to my lady for taking me out to see the world. ”

Looking at the way the two got along, Qin Chun couldn't help but smile, but the customers in the store were urgent, and she didn't have time to talk outside, so she said a few words and went in.

"Let's go, let's go see the next one." Xiao Man took Lu Li's hand and turned around and walked back.

Lu Xianzhong was surprised, he just heard Wei Xiuyuan casually mention it, saying that Xiaoman had opened a shop in Shangjing, and his business was prosperous and very popular. He naturally believed in Xiaoman's craftsmanship, but he didn't expect that there would be so many stores in this shop.

I thought that two were already the limit, but I didn't want to have another one.

The man was surprised in his heart, but his face was indifferent, and he followed Xiaoman to the store that Aunt Yang was surprised by.

Because Lu Li has a good memory, he is very familiar with Aunt Yang in Bishui Village, and after being reminded by Xiaoman, he immediately remembered it.

The business of this branch is even busier, because all the wives and ladies of dignitaries come here to consume, so there are few people in the store for a moment. Fortunately, it is very close to Lu Mansion, and after a little conversation with Aunt Yang, the two went home.

As soon as the two of them entered the door hand in hand, they saw Xia Wanrou getting up and walking, and they were disgusted: "It's a shame that I've been waiting for you here for so long, but you went out to play, it's really unkind, and you don't call me when you go out." ”

As he spoke, Wei Xiuyuan, who was sitting, also put down the teacup and echoed: "That's right, Lu Li, Wanrou and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Lu Li helped Xiao Man to sit down on the soft collapse, then looked at Wei Xiuyuan and raised his eyebrows: "Looking for me?" ”

"Not really." Wei Xiuyuan laughed twice, leaned over and approached Lu Li, "Isn't it about to be the New Year, I thought, anyway, our two families are so close, fortunately, we spent it together?" Xiaoman, do you think it's okay? ”

Towards the end of the year, Xiao Man has the intention to let the people in the mansion go home for the New Year, except for pearls and jade, which have no one at home who can stay in the mansion, and the rest will leave in the Chinese New Year's Eve. Lu Li's parents are no longer there, and Xiaoman's parents are even farther away in Bishui Village, although there is still Qin Chun's family in the house, but people must also celebrate the New Year by themselves.

Thinking about it this way, the Lu Mansion will definitely be very deserted during the New Year, so the Wei couple wants the two families to celebrate the New Year together.

Lu Li lowered his eyes and thought about it, but he still went to ask Xiaoman for an idea, "Do you think it's okay?" ”

"Everything." Xiao Man smiled slightly, his eyes curved like crescent moons.

"Good!" Wei Xiuyuan got up with an excited smile on his face, "Since this is the case, then Lu and I will leave to prepare for the New Year, and we will celebrate the New Year together this year!" ”

As long as he was in front of Lu Li, Wei Xiuyuan was like a child. Looking at Wei Xiuyuan's excitement, Xia Wanrou smiled helplessly and let him go.

Since they decided to celebrate the New Year together, they need to prepare more things, Qin Chun and Aunt Yang are both in the Lu Mansion, so the four of them decided to eat together in the Lu Mansion, and by the way, they called Aunt Yang and others, and they were so lively that they applauded.

The two men went out to buy New Year's goods, Xia Wanrou pulled Xiaoman aside, she deliberately avoided the maid, her cheeks revealed an unnatural redness, she lowered her voice, "Xiaoman, I want to tell you something." ”

Xiao Man pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, then I'll listen." ”

Somehow, Xia Wanrou was very squirming today, and the two blushes on her cheeks didn't go down, but became more and more red, "Xiaoman, let me tell you, I haven't decided on this matter yet, so don't tell anyone until I'm sure." ”

Xiao Man nodded again and again.

"My menstrual affair hasn't been here for a long time, I suspect that it may be ......" Xia Wanrou didn't say the latter words, but Xiao Manshan also guessed most of her expression when she looked at it.

She thought that Xia Wanrou was going to discuss things in the store with her, but she didn't want the other party to open her mouth, it was such a big thing, which really made Xiao Man stunned.

Especially looking at Xia Wanrou's shy appearance with her head down, Xiao Man stumbled when she spoke, "That Sister Wanrou, you... You should be looking for it, find a doctor and take a look! ”

Such a big thing can be confirmed as soon as possible!

"I know, so I came to your house today so that the doctor can take the pulse." Xia Wanrou still lowered her head, and her voice was low and soft.

She thought to herself, in case she was just an ordinary menstrual affair, then she would also explain to Wei Xiuyuan, and he would be happy in the province.

Xiao Man was carried away by joy, where did she think so much, she hurriedly called Pearl in, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl: "Pearl, go and ask the doctor to come!" Say that there is something urgent, be sure to let him hurry! ”

Pearl was stunned for a moment, she didn't look uncomfortable when she looked at Xiaoman, why did she have to ask for a doctor for no reason?

didn't wait for Pearl to ask, Na Xiaoman couldn't help urging: "Go quickly, go quickly!" ”

"Yes!" Pearl complied, then turned and hurried out.

There were only two people left in the room, Xiao Man held Xia Wanrou's hand, smiled happily at the corners of his lips, his eyes were full of joy, and he was even happier and more excited than when he learned that he was going to be a mother.

After a while, the doctor arrived with the medicine box on his back.
