Chapter 197: Tea Ceremony

Lin Xia relied on her good maintenance, although she was about to be thirty years old, her clothes still tended to be lighter, she looked younger, and she rarely wore some expensive jewelry, except for major occasions, Lin Xia would dress up more maturely, like a noble lady.

So Lin Xia can endure being called her mother and being called her wife, but she can't bear to be called her mother-in-law, and if she waits for Wu Xu and Chen Shanshan to give birth to a child, won't she be called grandma? Well, she's only twenty-eight years old, okay?

So Lin Xia can be exempted from these old titles, which woman wants to be called so old.

Chen Shanshan smiled knowingly, understood what Lin Xia meant, and nodded busily: "Okay, in the future, Shanshan will follow Wu Xu to call your mother in the mansion." ”

Lin Xiaxiu frowned slightly, feeling that the name was inappropriate, and looked at Wu Xu, but did not react. Since it was a matter for the young couple, she didn't want to interfere more, so she only pointed at Wu Chen with a smile and said, "Go and get to know Chen'er and them." ”

Chen Shanshan then greeted Wu Xu, she hadn't seen this Wu Chen yet, she had just heard of it. As soon as he turned to look at Wu Chen, he was a little stunned, he didn't expect that the two of them looked exactly the same, and then glanced at Wu Xu beside him, Chen Shanshan found the difference.

Although these two people look the same, they have completely different temperaments all over their bodies, and they are still easy to distinguish.

Compared with Wu Xu's expressionless face, Wu Chen smiled heartily, "Big brother, sister-in-law, I don't have anything to get my hands on, I saw my eldest brother and sister-in-law newly married yesterday, and I drew a picture after returning to the room at night, which was regarded as a wedding gift." As he spoke, Wu Chen raised his hand and beckoned the maid.

After a while, the maid walked in with a picture scroll in her hand, and the other maid cooperated with the movement and slowly unfolded the scroll.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be stunned.

The painting is when Wu Xu and Chen Shanshan worship each other, the man on the left and the woman on the right, pulling a red joke with each other, seeing Wu Xu looking at Chen Shanshan who is wearing a red hijab affectionately, the corners of his lips seem to be hooked. If anyone who is familiar with Wu Xu knows, Wu Xu is very happy.

Wu Xu's eyebrows are vividly painted, although Chen Shanshan is covered by a red hijab, but you can also feel the emotions of the two from the painting.

Chen Shanshan was very pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, second brother, this gift is really good." At that time, thinking that she could not use photos to keep the moment of the wedding, Chen Shanshan felt a little disappointed, especially the modern mobile phone shooting technology is quite good, if it was her, she would definitely take thousands of selfies and scenes of marriage with her mobile phone.

Now with this painting, it can be regarded as the end of her wish for a wedding photo.

"That...... Second brother, can you draw me a picture of me showing my face...... I'm wearing a red hijab, and I can say that any bride is it......" Chen Shanshan looked at the painting with some embarrassment.

Wu Chen was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give the painting to my sister-in-law today." ”

Chen Shanshan had a happy smile on his face, and hurriedly said, "Then I will thank the second brother first." ”

Wu Chen waved his hand casually and said, "It's all a family, so there is no need to say the word Xie." ”

Chen Shanshan nodded again and again, and then gave Wu Yun a small wooden horse carved on a wooden horse, and a fine sheep fat jade hairpin to Wu Xi, which were all gifts that Wu Xu had already learned that the two wanted, and specially asked people to prepare them in advance.

Obviously, when the two brothers and sisters got the gift they had in mind, their smiling eyes were almost gone, and they said in unison: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

After the tea and gifts, the group moved to the dining room and prepared breakfast.

There are many dishes on the table, including chicken feet, meatballs, rice rolls, custard buns, stewed cups, and porridge. After a careful look, Chen Shanshan found that everyone's porridge or soup was different.

Chen Shanshan sighed for a while, he didn't expect the family to be so attentive to breakfast.

"Shanshan, this kitchen doesn't know your taste, so I made you a more suitable red date porridge for women in the morning, if you don't like it, you can write a menu for the kitchen in the future, eat noodles, eat noodles, drink soup and drink porridge, if you want to change the menu temporarily, just talk to the maid before the night before." Lin Xia warmly introduced.

Chen Shanshan hurriedly waved his hand, "Red date porridge is okay, and I can eat it too." After speaking, Chen Shanshan buried his head and tasted a mouthful of red date porridge, which was just right, obviously taking a lot of thought. While smacking his lips, he thought to himself, this family is really too exquisite......

In fact, it's not that Lin Xia is exquisite, but everyone's taste is different, and she will want to eat something on a whim, just like she ate glutinous rice chicken yesterday and wants to eat preserved egg porridge today.

Chen Shanshan is quite accustomed to eating, this is obviously Cantonese morning tea, as we all know that Guangdong's morning tea is the most sumptuous, there are dozens of kinds of dim sum, and it is also available throughout the day, from morning tea to supper.

I just didn't know if it was delicious or not, so I picked up the custard bun in front of me and took a bite, my eyes lit up, and I praised: "It's delicious, it tastes almost exactly the same as those time-honored teahouses in Guangzhou." ”

When Wu Chen heard this, a proud expression suddenly appeared on his face, "That's it, how can the menu pushed out by my mother be inferior." Twin Restaurants have already opened the morning tea time, and these refreshments are sold, but they are all available in limited quantities, but there are still people who go to line up early in the morning to eat. ”

"So powerful?" Chen Shanshan glanced at Lin Xia in amazement, and couldn't help but sigh that this woman was so powerful, there were too many refreshments in Cantonese morning tea, and she didn't expect that she would be able to carry it from modern times in its original form.

Suddenly, Chen Shanshan said excitedly: "In addition to Cantonese morning tea, shouldn't there be a Western-style breakfast?" Sandwich cereal or something. ”

Wu Chenjun raised his eyebrows, "What is a Western-style breakfast?" Sandwich? Rolled oats? ”

Lin Xia finally felt the presence of a modern partner, and there were some tears in her eyes for a while, and someone finally understood her! "Sandwiches need luncheon meat, where do I make it, but there is toast, spread jam on top and eat it directly."

Chen Shanshan's eyes widened in surprise, "Mother, can you let me see the recipes that have been successfully transported so far?" Let me say goodbye. ”

Lin Xia nodded casually and said, "Okay, now Yalin Ju is under Xu'er's control, and the natural recipes are also under his control, you just need to ask him." ”

"Really?" Chen Shanshan was very surprised, turned his head and looked at Wu Xu with a look of adoration, "Wu Xu, can you let me take a look?" ”

Wu Xujun twisted his eyebrows and nodded awkwardly.

Breakfast ended in a pleasant conversation, the class that should go to the master to attend the class, the busy factory that should go to the study to be busy with the factory, and the time to go back to sleep and sleep back to the cage, and Chen Shanshan followed Wu Xu to the study with great interest.

In the study, Chen Shanshan seems to have broken into a novel world, because in addition to the surface of this study, there are only antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the study, etc., there are also organs.

There is a white wall next to the desk, on which hangs a portrait of Wu Xu, which was painted by the second brother Wu Chen, and there is a huge bookshelf on the side, the bookshelf is full of exactly the same book, open it and see, all of it is empty, but there are many lines drawn; The lower two rows were empty, occupied by a locked wooden box.

After Wu Xu's introduction, the book with the line drawn on the bookshelf is an empty book to be used as an account book, but there is no record on it. As for the financial statements for the first half of the year in the box below, it is a confidential document, but even if the box is pried open by thieves, it is estimated that no one can understand it except for the account room of Yalinju, and it is placed under the bookshelf at will.

The point is that Yalinju has had an account book since it was first built, and now it has been in business for ten years, so many account books and statements have been sent from restaurants, teahouses, and restaurants all over the Wu Dynasty, but now there is nothing to see in the study, it is not difficult to guess whether there is a room dedicated to storing account books and statements.

In fact, however, there is a room dedicated to ledgers and statements. But it's not on the bright side, it's a darkroom.

There are a total of six study rooms in the Martial Mansion, each of which has a mechanism that opens a low secret passage, which can lead to the dark room where the ledgers and reports are kept, as well as the storehouse.

Today's martial arts mansion is no longer the martial mansion that Lei Biao and Lin Xia bought when they came to the capital, but a new and larger mansion, and before moving into the new mansion, Lin Xia spent a whole month redesigning the structure and design of the mansion. On the surface, it was Yalinju who built the new mansion bigger, but in fact, there were a lot of organs and secret passages in it.

How to say that Wufu is also the richest man in the Wu Dynasty, children know that the treasury of Wufu must be full of boxes of silver and gold, if you are lucky enough to enter the treasury of Wufu to see, it will definitely not be inferior to the treasury of the palace.

Therefore, there are many thieves who think they are very powerful will sneak into the martial arts mansion quietly, not to mention stealing a box of gold ingots, and stealing dozens of ingots is enough for them to squander for a lifetime.

However, it is a pity that these thieves did not step on the specific location of the warehouse in advance, and they were directly captured by the subordinates who patrolled at night, and some were even caught without knowing it.

Therefore, in the thief world, there are rumors that there are masters in the martial arts.

But the fact is that every time they are caught, it is only the family members of the Wu Mansion.

Of course, if the family 'carelessly' does not see the thief sneaking around, they will not find the treasury even if they come a hundred times and a thousand times.

The reason is that this warehouse is under the lotus pond, and the room where the ledgers and reports are stored is next door to the warehouse.

There are two routes that can be reached, one is through the side of the bookshelf near the pillar, there is a place where you can press down, and then the mechanism will be opened.

Below the portrait of Wu Xu, there will be a rectangular opening to reveal a staircase that goes deeper, and after going downstairs, there will be three stone paths, only one of which leads to the storehouse and the ledger storage place, and the other two lead to the ice cellar respectively, once you enter the ice cellar, you cannot come out, unless the outer exit of the ice cellar is open.

However, if the external exit is open, it can only mean that someone outside wants to go down to the ice cellar to get something, and then there is no way to return or retreat, so you can only wait in the ice cellar to die.
