Coming out of the clothing shop, the Shen family was going home, and today this trip cost Zixi seven hundred and twenty taels of silver, and the Shen family was really a little distressed, worried that the Fu family was a little unhappy, and secretly glanced at the Fu family several times, and saw that the Fu family looked the same as before, and then put his mind at ease.

Chen said that he would take everyone to the restaurant, and said, "It's so easy that there are all the people today, and I won't follow if I don't go." ”

Zeng Ruixiang said with a smile: "Okay, I'll eat at the restaurant today." ”

Entering Chen's Fengyi Residence, Zixi shouted to the shopkeeper: "Man, serve all the most expensive and delicious dishes in your store." ”

Xiao Er looked at Zixi and asked, "This gentleman, there are many most expensive and best dishes in this restaurant, how many do you want?" ”

"Don't you see us like that? Didn't you see your boss here? It's all on. After Zixi finished speaking, he smiled at everyone and said: "The feeling of not having to spend your own money is different, no wonder you are all as happy as if you have eaten honey just now?" ”

Actually, this guy didn't know Chen, and Chen didn't usually come to the lobby, so Chen saw that the guy looked around for a long time, and he didn't know who the boss was, so he smiled and said, "Go down and do your thing, and call the shopkeeper to the house of King Teng's Pavilion." ”

Chen took everyone into the Tengwang Pavilion house, and as soon as they entered the door, on the left wall was Zilu's handwritten "Tengwang Pavilion Fu", and the other walls were also poems about Tengwang Pavilion. Only then did Ziqing know that the Chen family had rearranged the restaurant, and the private room was named after the famous building, and it was full of famous poems, famous fus, nouns, etc. of Zilu's predecessors, so that it was not only insightful, but also convenient for guests to choose their own works according to their own preferences.

It's no wonder that the Chen family can do a good job and make this restaurant business bigger, and they still really have business minds. If you don't accept it, you can't.

Zeng Ruixiang had never been here, and seeing that there were few people who could eat, he led Zifu and a few people to go around the houses, and came back with a smile: "I can make eating such an elegant thing." It's also rare. ”

"It's better to be reminded by the eldest sister, otherwise, where would we think of this?" Chen laughed.

Nothing others listened to. However, Xia Ganyong listened, and glanced at Ziqing with some confusion, Ziqing was whispering with Zixi, listened to Chen's words, raised his head and asked, "What is the second sister-in-law praising me?" ”

"What are you secretly muttering to Xiaosi?" Liu asked.

"Let's discuss what good food we want to eat, second sister-in-law, sit down. You've been shopping for a long time, so let's take a break. Chen's stomach has been six months old, so Ziqing persuaded him.

"Let your second sister-in-law bring up all the signature dishes in the store, especially the ones that are easily uneaten at home, and they are not easy to make." Liu said with a smile.

Zilu went and ordered a few words from the shopkeeper. At this time, Chen's little brother came up, the young man is seventeen or eighteen this year, and after seeing that everyone was busy greeting "rare guests, rare guests", he went to arrange it.

Shen smiled: "In the blink of an eye, I have become a young man, I still remember coming to the door a few years ago, and I was still a child." It's really funny. ”

"I can't study, but this time I've made up my mind, I want to help my two brothers take care of the restaurant, and the layout of this room is what he did, can it still be eye-catching?" Chen laughed.

"After all, I read some books." Zeng Ruixiang sighed.

Zifu asked a few questions about the income of the restaurant, the distribution of shares, etc. Ziqing also heard of it for the first time. It turned out that there were three restaurants in the Chen family, one in Anzhou Mansion, one in Linjiang County, and one in Linshui County, which was separated by a river from Anzhou Mansion. Chen's brothers take care of one by one, because the earliest start-up capital is Chen's, several younger brothers don't want to take advantage of their sisters, Chen's does not participate in the operation, but also accounts for twenty and a half shares, Chen's parents already have enough pension silver in their hands, and they don't want shares, and the filial piety of several children every year is enough, and there is still land rent in the countryside. As a result, Chen's annual dividends are now about 1,000 taels.

"Now I found out that our family is still a little two, and we don't have to worry much about it, and we have thousands of taels of silver a year waiting for dividends." Zifu said with a smile.

"Okay, second brother and sister, when did you become a rich man quietly? Third brother and sister, now our two families are poor. Liu smiled.

"Sister-in-law, are you still poor? The eldest brother is also a six-pin. Yang also replied with a smile.

"How much salary do you think Liupin can have? It used to be eighty taels, but now it's only one hundred taels, which is much worse than others. Liu smiled.

Shen and Zeng Ruixiang also knew for the first time that Zilu could have these incomes in a year, and said: "I didn't expect Lu'er's life to be better, but with silver, it is appropriate to buy some fields and shops to rent, and if the silver is in your hands, it is dead, or find a way to let it regenerate silver." And the same is true for the junior, do you hear that? ”

"I know, mother, we have also added some paddy fields and shops one after another, but there are no suitable ones for a while." Zilu said.

Shen had been worried that Zishou had not made any money, and knowing that Zishou had also divided three thousand taels of silver in the past two years, Shen was also relieved, and also thought about asking Zishou to add some industry, and Zishou was also busy agreeing.

Ziqing thought, after twenty years of struggle, the current situation of the Zeng family and the Lin family is here, I don't know if it can be regarded as a strong person among the women?

After returning home, Zeng Ruixiang took Zifu to discuss how to write the couplets for the New Year, and Shen took Liu Chen's several recipes for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, these, with Chen's presence, no one else had to speak.

Ziqing, Fu and Yang discussed the style of the clothes, and they wanted to cut them and do it immediately, because the day after tomorrow was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ziqing was busy, Yonglian brought Yongrong and a few people in, and asked Ziqing, "Auntie, can you teach us to play games?" Also, we want you to teach us how to sing. ”

Ziqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What game to play?" ”

"Brother Yongsong, they said, what are you playing with throwing handkerchiefs, catching chickens with eagles, and you teach them to sing, I also want to learn." Yongrong said.

"But, don't you know how to play with eagles catching chickens? Let Shurui and Yongsong take you to play. Ziqing said.

"Let's go, Daddy will take you to play with the eagle and catch the chickens." Zifu came in and said.

A few children ran away with cheers, and Liu shouted from behind: "Lian'er is back, she is such a big girl, and she still likes to mix with those boys." ”

Ziqing said with a smile: "What does my sister-in-law tell her to do, it's rare to get together with a few younger brothers and sisters, it's better to play too, when we were young, the eldest brother took us to play eagles and catch chickens." ”

Liu is also a lively person, and it just so happened that the recipe was also ready, so he pulled Chen to go with him, but he forgot that he and Chen were both pregnant. Fu Shi is a hearty character, what's not to like? However, the Yang family twisted for a long time, and the quilt Zishou was dragged out.

It just so happened that there was still a place in the yard, Zifu wanted to be an eagle, Ziqing pushed Zeng Ruixiang out of the study, "Dad, big brother wants to take us to play together, Dad, you will judge." ”

Zeng Ruixiang said with a smile: "I've been playing for a day, and I'm not too tired." ”

"Look, you guys aren't allowed, don't forget the baby in your belly." Shen told Liu a few ways.

Zifu took the lead, and Zilu still had something to hesitate about, and for a while, there was laughter and shouting in the courtyard. After a while, Zifu couldn't run, the eagle became Yongsong, Zifu is an old hen, it turns out that this running is still Yongsong's fastest, let him catch it is interesting. Ziqing saw that there were more than a dozen of these chickens, and they staggered and laughed as soon as they moved.

Seeing the smile on Zeng Ruixiang's face, Liu said secretly: "Today, your eldest brother can be regarded as having a lot of fun in his clothes, and my father has finally laughed happily several times." ”

"It has to be the eldest brother who has a way, and today he even involved the fourth brother and spent half a day of silver." Yang said.

"That doesn't matter, the Xianggong just wanted to spend it for everyone, and our family took a lot." Fu said.

Ziqing knotted the skirt underneath on the side, and Shen asked, "What for?" Do you want to play too? Don't look at how old you are? ”

"Isn't it still your daughter when you're old? The eldest brother has taken the lead, what am I afraid of, and there are no outsiders in the horizontal and vertical. Ziqing said with a smile.

"Sister, come behind me, I'll run with you, you won't fall." Zixi shouted.

Lin Kangping grabbed Ziqing and said with a smile: "There are enough chickens, don't go over and make trouble, you can't run yet." ”

Ziqing still played for a while, her stomach hurt with laughter, and a group of people in their twenties and thirties with a group of children from four or five years old to ten years old were crazy for half an hour.

After the meal, Zeng Ruixiang took the initiative to say: "You don't have to worry about me, I have already figured out your grandma's affairs, no matter how much you complain, you can't change the facts." I've had a few of you in my life, and that's enough. However, having said that, I don't want to see her in the future. If you want, go and pay her a New Year's greeting on the first day of the new year, and I won't go. ”

"Dad, you can think like that, that's right. Grandma doesn't want you to know your life experience, doesn't she just want you to live in hatred? If you are happy, it is also the wish of your grandmother. We are just a superficial courtesy to the old house, Dad, don't worry. Zifu said.

"Why don't you ask her how she is doing?" Shen asked.

"No need to ask, what else do I not know about my sister-in-law? I'm afraid that I didn't let Qiu Yu intercede, right? Now that I've said that my grievances are gone, I'll go back and take care of her affairs, what has become of me? Also, she generally has dozens of taels of silver in her hand, can she have an idea in her heart? Zeng Ruixiang said.

Shen thought for a moment and said, "All the silver in her hand has been given to Chunyu." ”

Zeng Ruixiang listened and said gloomily: "When will everyone be close, I am an outsider, I started to earn money, and when the silver came to her hands, I would only worry about her children." I'd like to see how else she can take care of them. In the end, who can take care of her? ”

Ziqing listened silently. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
