310 Flattery in every way
Chen Fang came out of the old lady's room, and his elder Zhou Ling followed up and said: "Qiu Yue in the second lady's room is waiting on the second door, saying that the second lady is inviting the master, but he only said that he has something to discuss." ”
Chen Fang couldn't think of anything Chen Lan was looking for for herself for a while, so she followed Qiu Yue to Chen Lan's room, and saw that Chen Lan was doing needlework, and she was still wearing the peach-colored jacket and skirt she had seen before, but she had removed the previous cloak. He only thinks that his sister is the best-looking among the sisters, and now she looks more elegant than her own sister.
When Chen Lan saw Chen Fang enter, she first took a pair of well-proportioned shoes and two pairs of socks, two purses, one wrapped in a burden, and said, "It turned out to be a little spring needlework that I made for you in my spare time, although your needlework also has a special person, most of them are not as careful as they do themselves, so I will make one more piece, and let my aunt make one less, and she can also be loose and relaxed." ”
The latter sentence was quite in Chen Fang's ears, so he thanked him with a smile, and said, "Sister, just embroider a few stitches when you want to pass the time, we also have a ready-to-wear shop outside, so you don't have to work hard to do this, you don't have to worry about your eyes." ”
When Chen Lan heard this, she took out all the maids below before she said, "Before, the eldest sister casually said that I heard that you are working in that splendid restaurant, but is it true? It seems that I still know it from the eldest lady, but I only said that I have never heard you mention it, and I don't know much about it, but you can tell me what is going on? Originally, I thought you were making a small shop, but I thought you would hide it from me. But it's also simple, and if my wife asks, it will probably be clear. I don't know what's going on here, so I'll tell you first. ”
Chen Fang sneered: "What's so hard to guess about this, it's probably just to see what else I can squeeze here." You don't see how the wife compliments the old lady's old sister, it's not because the grandson is in charge of the exquisite pavilion. Now that the business of the Splendid Restaurant is good, I can't hit me on the head with my idea. ”
Chen Lan also meant the same thing in her heart, and said, "It's not what you said, it was unclear what you said in front of your grandmother last time." Looking at you like that, everyone thinks it's just an unsightly little shop, just a business that makes a few taels of silver. Who would have thought that you would make it quite big, even a few of our sisters have heard of the good things in the splendid restaurant. ”
Chen Fang smiled and said, "My good sister, I didn't mean to say that. Otherwise, where would there be such a scene today, but I also found a good owner, people do not dislike my brother's young age and reuse my younger brother, and my brother will not be rewarded with a good life. Hmph, if your mother or eldest sister asks you again, you will say that it is someone else's, and I am just helping the master's family to do things, so where can the Splendid Restaurant hook up with my younger brother? ”
Chen Lan nodded, sighed, and said, "I'm also worried about telling you, according to my mother's attitude, it's better for you to be careful." You don't want your aunt to worry, but if I am a man, I would have gone out with you to fight the world a long time ago. But you should be more attentive to the things around you, and if your mother speaks, why don't you give them a finger slit, if nothing else, probably not for that one. ”
Chen Fang understood and said with a smile: "My sister is at ease, and my brother is saved." If you really come to me, I have something to say, and I will not let others calculate. ”
Chen Fang came out of Chen Lan, and his eldest follower, Zhou Li, immediately followed, and said with a smile: "Master, where are we going now?" ”
Chen Fang threw the burden into his arms, with a smile on his face, and said, "Since you're here, come with me to see my aunt." Chen Fang glanced at Situ's courtyard, snorted coldly in his heart, and thought about calculating it on him, and didn't open his eyes to see who the master was! Although he is a concubine, he is really the son of the master, and his appearance is not bad, and because of this identity, his mind opened early, and he understands that if he wants to live in this mansion, he naturally has to avoid his edge. If he hadn't followed a good master now, he wouldn't know what he would be like. Speaking of which, he is just the little steward of the splendid restaurant, but that is only on the surface. Hmph, Mrs. is thinking too well, isn't it, even if she has the relationship between the old lady and the old sister, she will not get any benefits from Boss Yan.
Zhou Li followed behind Chen Fang, laughing and following behind Chen Fang with his baggage, thinking that others still regarded the two young masters in the house as treasures, but one was a lifting master, and the other little young master only knew how to mess around in the backyard all day long, and others thought that the worst in this family was his own master. Hmph, those who don't know it, all of them treat fish eyes as pearls. These days, following the young master, I have seen more and naturally knows that what the master is doing is a big business. The other two young masters have nothing else to do in addition to the weekday monthly routine and the old lady's reward, where is there any other money to spare. Where can I compare with my own father who can make money! He thinks he is following the right master, and his family has become solid with his master over the years, and his father's illness has been cured, and even his younger brother can recognize words. Isn't this the purpose of his sale to the Chen family, I have seen those subordinates who look down on his family in the past few days, and there are times when you regret it!
When he arrived at his aunt's yard, his aunt was full of surprise when she saw him, although Chen Fang was not yet at the age of marriage, and she was not very old. But the year before, I went out and said that I had started a small business, and I was almost away from home all day. At this time, my aunt hadn't seen him for a few days, so she gave birth to Chen Fang and Chen Lan, a son and a daughter, and Chen Lan was taken to the old lady to raise less than a month after she was born. She couldn't help it, and she had to sneak a look at it on weekdays at that time. And after giving birth to Chen Fang, she gave the love of both of them to such a son who was raised by her side. And my aunt is not stupid, so she naturally knows that the most reliable person in this house is not her son.
My aunt didn't have any clothes that Chen Fangzheng was wearing here, but she let her work so hard and turned over a bunch of shoes and socks and sleeves.
Chen Fang's heart was warm, and she said with a smile, "Auntie, don't turn it over, it's troublesome to clean up when you go back, can I still wear less clothes?" ”
The aunt said: "You are not at home on weekdays, I'm not worried, am I?" I was going to make you a pair of thick socks to wear, but I've only got one now, and I'll send them to you in two days. ”
"Auntie, don't worry, the second sister made me two pairs." Chen Fang said with a smile, what is the aunt worried about pulling Chen Fang, and she nagged and said something about being careful about your body, wearing more clothes, and not freezing it. Chen Fang let her aunt talk about it, and when her aunt finished speaking, Chen Fang took out a few silver tickets of one hundred taels from her cuffs and stuffed them into her aunt's hand, and said with a smile: "I heard that Aunt Qiu made a fuss about the monthly case a few days ago, saying that the monthly cases in the house are less than usual." My own aunt collects it, and my aunt will take these hundreds of taels, and don't be stingy where you simply use the money. ”
"Why do you send money to your aunt again, my aunt has it here." Although Chen Fang told her aunt about some of the shops he had made, her aunt didn't know much about foreign things after all, but she was more happy than worried that her son could make money. Seeing that his son gave him money, he was both comforted and distressed, so he simply stuffed the silver ticket into Chen Fang's hand.
"Auntie, just take it, I don't need any money on weekdays. Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible for the right aunt to help her son save it? In the end, Aunt Chen still accepted the silver ticket, but when Chen Fang left, she found the grandmother who followed her aunt, and asked her to look at some aunts. Mama was naturally happy to respond, Chen Fang knew some of this mama's foundation, and she was relieved to see her like this.
"Third master, aren't we staying in the mansion anymore?" Zhou Li saw Chen Fang come out, and immediately followed and asked.
"Isn't coming back just to meet the guests, so it's time to go back, and there's a lot of work to deal with." Chen Fang lowered her voice and said, "My father is not at home, so naturally I don't have time to ask my father for peace." A master and a servant led the horse out of the corner gate and went straight to the splendid restaurant.
In the upper room, Situ let go of his mind and flattered Mrs. Liu, but he didn't see that the old lady was faintly unhappy. Naturally, Situ has always been a little wooden in front of the old lady, but now he has let go of those flattering words, although it is for the good of the Chen Mansion, but the old lady always feels that she has lost face in front of the old sister, and she is naturally displeased. There is also the matter of Fang'er just now, although the old lady does not hurt Chen Fang as much as Chen Gui and Chen Lan, but the old lady naturally will not admit that she is partial, and thinks that she treats her grandchildren equally. But this daughter-in-law was partial to her, and in front of her and the old sister, she could see that she treated Fang'er poorly, and she was even more unhappy in her heart. She simply doesn't like this eldest daughter-in-law very much, although she can't look down on it, but there is no way, naturally she can't cross the reason that the eldest daughter-in-law lets the second daughter-in-law take care of the house. If that's the case, what can outsiders think of their Chen Mansion. Moreover, the boss's official position is higher than that of the second child, and the daughter-in-law's family of Situ Xiangye, who is the prime minister of the same clan, naturally cannot and will not do anything beyond his authority. However, this is also most of the reason why the old lady has kept the inner account in her hands over the years, and she only turns a blind eye to the little things when her daughter-in-law is housekeeper, as long as she doesn't do too much.
When it's time to eat, I ask the ladies to come over and have a meal. Chen Lan saw the flattery of his wife that his younger brother said, and naturally felt a little disdainful in his heart, and his face did not show that he was only concentrating on eating.
