"It shows that you have a good relationship with Lord Chen." Hua Manxi said while helping Wang Shishi clear the bill.

"Of course the relationship is good, when I was young, my aunt was still there, I died of my mother, just count my aunt is the best for me, every time she comes back, I am very happy, Chen Xiuli is also very sensible, comforting me and saying, sister, don't cry, I have a mother, I will give my mother to you. Who knew that later, he would have no mother. Wang Shishi talked about sadness, and her eyes were covered with another layer of water.

"Although I was young at the time, I remember it very clearly, when my aunt died, only my father took me to the funeral, Chen Xiuli was only in his early tens, and when he saw me, he cried and said, sister, I don't have a mother anymore, and I can't give my mother to you in the future——"

Hua Manxi saw that Wang Shishi was engrossed, put down the account book and listened, without saying a word.

"Later, when I was a little older, I learned from my aunt's side that the Chen Mansion had married the mistress again, and the Lady was kicked out, and she said that Chen Xiuli had a meal in the Chen Mansion, but there was no food, and he was often beaten. I cried so much that I kept begging my father to bring Chen Xiuli to the house. But my father said that who would send his son to a foreign home to raise him—"

"There is no way but to follow my father, I want to learn more things, earn more money, and then give him some money and let him buy some delicious food. When I was 12 years old, I started to learn to calculate accounts with my father, and then I finally earned some money on my own, and I begged my father to take me to Kyoto, and my father happened to go there to do business, so he took me there. I finally saw Chen Xiuli, but he was really sick at that time, and his stepmother was really good or bad, and he didn't even invite a doctor. I hired a doctor for him, and the people in the house were embarrassed for me, so I carried him out of the Chen Mansion and went to the hospital to see a doctor, and those people actually locked the door and didn't let us in, so I made a fuss, and that was the first time I had a fight. I found that sometimes, fighting is much more useful than reasoning, but when I returned to Chen's Mansion, I found that my money, the 10,000 taels of silver tickets I had saved so hard, were all gone! ”

Wang Shishi said this, although many years have passed, she still can't help but feel aggrieved: "The 10,000 taels of silver, I have saved for a long time, I am reluctant to buy clothes, and I am reluctant to reward people. I was so anxious that I almost overturned the entire Chen Mansion, but his stepmother actually said that I was poor and crazy! Slander them! asked Chen Xiuli's father to cut off the relationship between our side, and said that I would bring Chen Xiuli badly. My father was also angry, scolded him, took me away, and never took me to Beijing again. That's how I lost the news of Chen Xiuli. ”

Wang Shishi paused, took a deep breath, and paused for a long time before continuing: "Later, half a year later, I received a letter from Kyoto, the 10,000 taels of silver came back, and Chen Xiuli sent it back to me, but it was stained with a lot of blood. I was worried about him at the time, and I wrote many letters to Kyoto, but I didn't reply to any of them. I thought he was killed. ”

"Fortunately, he is strong enough, three years ago in the winter, he came to my house alone, wearing a thin cotton suit, very old and very old torn clothes, with nothing in his bag, only a letter of appointment and official seal of Shishan County. He said, "Sister, I'm here, ten years ago, I said I was going to come to you, I'm here." That night, I hugged him, and the two of us cried like children. You don't know how thin he was at that time, he didn't have a good appetite, he couldn't eat delicious food, he couldn't eat expensive things, I slowly raised him like this, in this life, except for my father, he was the best person in the world for me, I always remember, when I just died of my mother, it was he who told me, sister, don't cry, I'll give my mother to you-"

This kind of affection is really deeper than that of ordinary brothers. Hua Manxi finally knew why the relationship between Wang Shishi and Lord Chen was so good, and there was really no way to give birth to the love between men and women.

They once shared the most sincere and precious maternal love in the world, and in this life, he is Wang Shishi's brother, and Wang Shishi is his best sister.

"Don't cry, it's all over, now that Lord Chen is highly valued and has grown up, he will definitely not be treated harshly anymore, besides, our Miss Wang has also grown up, 10,000 taels of silver is nothing, and I will never be angry because of a little silver again." Hua Manxi took out a handkerchief to wipe Wang Shishi's tears and comforted.

"That's right! I have a lot of money now, my father also has a lot of money, and I'm no longer the poor relative who beat the autumn wind in the mouth of that vicious woman! If they dare to bully Chen Xiuli, I, Wang Shishi, will definitely make them regret their mistakes! Wang Shishi clenched her fists and swore an oath.

"I know, our Miss Wang is the most powerful, no, take care of that desert island in good order, these tomatoes have been planted, and they will soon be produced in large quantities, like chili sauce, and when the money comes out, let's go to Beijing and send it in person, won't we be able to meet Master Chen?" Hua Manxi nodded.

"That's right! I've got to hurry up and get the tomato sauce out, and the money from the food festival this time, and the tech branches around the country are about to open. Wang Shishi was also an idle person, and hurriedly said, "Manxi, hurry up, give me the account book, and I will calculate how much silver has been invested in that tomato sauce——"

"You move lightly, watch out for foot injuries." Hua Manxi hurriedly moved the account book on the table to Wang Shishi.

Once people are busy, the days will fly by, although the food has long ended, but the people who come to Shishan County to play are still endless, although it is not as crowded as the food festival, but the source of customers is continuous, the business on the street is still booming, and even the surrounding farmhouse publicity theme is also changing wave after wave.

It's spring, the peach blossoms are blooming, enjoy the peach blossoms, brew peach blossom wine, make peach blossom cakes -

It's summer, the rice is harvested, and there are all kinds of wild fruits picking, catching fish and shrimp, camping-

It's autumn, enjoy chrysanthemums and eat moon cakes, stuff fruit wine, eat fruit cakes, and all kinds of dried fruits-

It's winter, it's snowing, eating hot pot is naturally the biggest theme, all kinds of hot pot, spicy and not spicy, clear soup, red oil, mushroom soup, tomatoes -

The resort on the desert island has also developed, and it is worth mentioning that tomatoes are planted very well there, almost the entire island is planted with tomatoes, when it is green, it is blue, when it is ripe, it is fiery red, and it is pleasant to look at.

There are also beach huts for fun, and business is booming.

This tomato sauce has also set off a craze in Nanyang Kingdom, and even surpassed the status of soy sauce.

Needless to say, the two major shareholders of Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi, even the sons and ladies who invested in the investment also made a lot of money, and all the profits were in Wang Shishi's hands.

It's another year of New Year, and this time, Hua Manxi simply called everyone to Wang Mansion to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

This year's weather is a little warmer than last year, and there is no snow, but it is still appropriate to eat hot pot.

Several large tables were full, including the servants were all together, several pots were opened, and the bottom of all the pots had changed, the red oil gurgling and shining, the clear soup exuded the fragrance of coconut and chicken, the combination of wild mushrooms and mutton in the mushroom soup, and the tomato pot was a new way to eat, and the bottom of the red pot exuded a sour smell, which made people appetize.

And the dishes are even more abundant, seafood is definitely indispensable, shrimp, crab, abalone, squid, all kinds of conch and fish, as well as mutton slices, beef, chickens and ducks, all kinds of mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, vegetables, fruits, snacks, flowers, fruits and tea-

There was a bonfire in the yard, and everyone was eating and laughing, which was very lively.

"I don't know what year Chen Xiuli spent in Kyoto, and if there is such a big meal to eat." Wang Shishi and Chen Xiuli have been together for four years in a row, and this year she suddenly remembered that Chen Xiuli was coming.

Hua Manxi also drank some fruit wine, and this time she didn't comfort her, but also sighed faintly and said, "I don't know where my Xu Gongzi is celebrating the New Year, is there such a big meal to eat?" ”

"Maybe Xu Gongzi is marrying a wife outside, and his son can run away, you are still stupid here." Wang Shishi originally had a good impression of Xu Gongzi, but he was too unreliable this time, he left on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he didn't come back until the New Year.

Tsk, besides, Manxi is simply a rich woman, where is he used to make money! If you don't come back obediently to warm the quilt for Manxi, you really don't have eyesight!

"No, Xu Gongzi is the best Xu Gongzi in the world." Hua Manxi was a little drunk, her cheeks were red, and she defended with her friends.

At this time, it was already dark, and everyone was talking in the courtyard, and no one noticed Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi.

The prayer lamp was put up again, and the sky that had been a little misty was suddenly filled with colorful prayer lamps, like a huge wishing tree.

"I miss you, Master Xu! Xu Gongzi, I miss you! Hua Manxi poured another sip of osmanthus wine, stood up, looked at the various prayer lamps in the sky, and suddenly shouted.

"God, give me a wishful husband too! I'm getting married too! I'm seventeen after the New Year! It's an old girl! Wang Shishi also learned from the flowers and streams, and shouted at the prayer lamp in the sky.

"I'm getting married too! Xu Gongzi, come back and marry me! I'll raise you! Hua Manxi smiled and screamed louder and louder.

"Ah, God, New Year's wishes, give me a Xu Gongzi too!" Wang Shishi made a trumpet shape with both hands and shouted.

The two girls laughed and sat down to take a few sips of wine, and made a little madness.
