Chapter 401 It's Snowing
I didn't expect that Ding Li to calculate so fast, Xiao Man couldn't do the same mental arithmetic as him, but it was just a few strokes, which was about the same speed as Ding Li, and the two of them checked the numbers, and the result was the same.
Xiao Man had the feeling of accidentally picking up the baby, "Okay, a few big brothers, it's not too early, let's go back and rest first, a few taels of silver here, don't dislike it, take it first." ”
Several people hurriedly refused, "Little brother and brother have already let you break the bank today, invite us to dinner, and give us a few jobs, I really can't accept your money." ”
"It's fate that a few of us met today, and besides, I just happened to be worried about not being able to find the right person, aren't these just right, your subordinates, you will have dinner tomorrow, and besides, there are wives and children at home, and you can't let your children starve anymore."
Xiao Man just stuffed the silver into the hands of a few people, and a few people were moved to kneel, Xiao Man was really afraid, although she had lived here for so long, she was very unaccustomed to kneeling, not used to kneeling and not used to kneeling by others.
After sending off the strong men, Xiao Man finished paying for the meal, asked for a few more jars of wine and hurriedly tied himself up with the shopkeeper, and returned to the restaurant where he had eaten before.
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper saw Xiaoman, "Fifth son, when did you go out, why didn't we see it." ”
The guy came over and took the wine jar in Xiao Man's hand, "The shopkeeper, I jumped from your upstairs, of course you don't know." ”
"Oh, the fifth son doesn't take this good road, why do you want to jump off the building, why didn't you get hurt."
"How can it be injured, your building is so easy to jump, haha just kidding, by the way, my eldest brother are still in the upstairs room?"
"Miss Red Lotus and Mrs. Lu have already gone home, and the others are still there, but there were four more just now, and they asked for wine just now, so they haven't been sent to that yet."
Xiao Man looked at it, the tray on the table next to Xiao Er, thyme, hum you and called thyme, I am Wanlixiang.
"The shopkeeper sent me the wine I brought, and said that I bought it specially, and by the way, I told them that I was too strong to drink and wanted to go back."
"Okay, let the guy send it up and tell them."
A guy brought Xiaoman's cloak, no wonder he felt cold when he went out just now, and his feelings were that he forgot to wear a cloak.
"There is a labor display cabinet, I will leave first." Xiao Man arched his hand and turned his hand out of the restaurant.
"Hey, Fifth Prince, I'll find a carriage to send you."
"No, I've eaten for the day, just walk back and eat less."
Walking alone on the street, looking at the stalls on both sides of the road, two or three or four or five, the husband with his wife and children, or brothers and friends get together, all talking and laughing, otherwise it is lively, only he is alone, wrapping the cloak on his body, wearing a hat, he still can't stop the whirring cold wind, he should eat hot pot on such a cold day, what rock sugar gourd he ate just now and froze to death, thinking of rock sugar gourd, hey I bought so many rock sugar gourds just now fell on the place to eat, It's a pity, I originally planned to give Xuanxuan a taste of that.
Xiao Man felt that his face lit up, and when he looked up, he saw that snowflakes were falling from the sky, "It's snowing......." "Reach out and catch the falling snowflakes, but it's a pity that I'm the only one looking at such a beautiful view?
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, Xiaoman is not in a hurry to walk, let the snowflakes fall on him, occasionally meet people who are in a hurry, Xiaoman is happy, and heard someone on the side whisper, "That person is not a fool, why is it snowing so much, don't hurry up." ”
You're stupid, scientists can say, when it rains, you don't run faster than you walk slower than you get less rain, and I think it's the same with snow.
There was a white layer on the ground, and Xiaoman walked more energetically, and sang a song, "Snowflakes are fluttering, and the north is Xiao Xiao......." ”
There are red lanterns hanging at the gate of Zhou's mansion, Zhou Chaozong invited someone to eat, and also sent a collection of calligraphy and paintings, the adult was willing to spit out and said that the Miss Zhang family who inquired about the matter, after listening to Zhou Chaozong was simply angry, and he didn't eat, and rushed back home non-stop, and as soon as he entered the door, he ordered someone to invite the lady to the old lady's yard.
Zhou Chaozong didn't let anyone else follow, he lit the lantern and went to the courtyard of the lady, the old lady has been very kind to him recently, as if she has completely changed a person.
"Oh, my son is back, go and pat the snow on my son."
Seeing that Zhou Chaozong's face was not good, he thought that he was having trouble with Mrs. Zhou, so he lowered his head and thought for a while, "Look at your daughter-in-law, why don't you change your clothes with the snow on your body, how cold it is this day, how good it would be if it was frozen." ”
"Mother, as soon as I came back, I came directly to you, and I didn't go back to the room, Junyi didn't know that I was back."
"Yo, I'll just say that Junyi is not such an inconsiderate person, how could you let you wear wet clothes, by the way, is there something to find your mother?"|
Zhou Chaozong saw his mother's tone, such an attitude, as long as it was delivered, it would not be appropriate, wait for Junyi to come and ask together.
"Mother, I want to ask what the young lady of the Zhang family is doing, and whether my mother understands."
"Of course I know this, Huiru is a first-class daughter, and her talent and conduct are outstanding."
Zhou Chaozong raised his head and was speechless, "Mother, how did you know this, you have seen her." ”
"Of course I did, she came to our house when she was young, haven't you seen her too?"
"Mother, I was only a few years old at that time, and I still can't walk with my words, how many years have I had now."
"What's the matter, what are you trying to say? Oh, by the way, Huiru and Chan'er's marriage is settled quickly, I even have a meeting gift ready. ”
"Mother, it's not too hasty for you to do this, so you have to inquire about this girl's character, besides, Zen'er is no longer in the house when he goes out, this is his marriage, you always have to ask his opinion for him to meet."
"Of course, the behavior of the girl of our Zhang family has nothing to say, and when the words of the matchmaker are ordered by his parents, he will be married when he comes back, can he still not listen?"
Originally, Zhou Chaozong planned to persuade her mother to let her find someone to inquire about it, if she told her what Miss Zhang did, her mother would feel very embarrassed, after all, it was a girl from her mother's family, but now it seems that she has to tell her mother the truth.
"Mother, let me tell you directly, Junyi and I don't agree to this marriage, that Hui Rujue can't enter our Zhou Mansion."
When the old lady heard this, she immediately dropped the teacup, "What do you mean by this, is it that your daughter-in-law doesn't want my granddaughter to enter the Zhou Mansion." ”
"Mother, why do you always think of Junyi like this, do you know what kind of person that Miss Zhang is like?"
