Chapter 141
Stepping into the 'door', He Dani saw that the hall had changed and become clean, all kinds of 'messy' and messy wastes were gone, the original tattered tables and stools had been replaced by new tables and new benches, and there was nothing else on the wall except the thirty catties of charcoal, and there were just a few things in the whole room.
He Dani lifted the curtain and entered the east room to greet her parents, and a lot of small things were added to it, and three basin racks were lined up on the wall next to the 'door', and everyone's basins and hand towels were neatly placed, and the covers on the kang were replaced with new ones.
He Dani briefly talked to her parents about seeing relatives today, He Dawei also told her 'daughter' about the things added at home, He Dani listened quietly, took out her money bag and gave her father a bunch of money for them to continue to watch and buy, and this year will have a lively year.
After chatting with her parents for a few more words, and setting a time to visit Liang's house tomorrow, He Dani returned to her house, took out her purse from the mouse 'hole', put the silver ticket in the purse and stuffed it into the mouse 'hole', and then she went to the kitchen to cook tonight's dinner.
An hour later, dinner was over, the kitchen was cleaned up He Liang began to fry the 'medicine', the three of them had to take the 'medicine', the poor life in the past few years has hollowed out their bodies, if they want to re-regulate their bodies, let alone take the 'medicine' for several months in a row.
The next day, the family got up early, finished the morning housework, hired Uncle Zhang's carriage, and sent them to the Liang Mansion in the city. Liang Zhai lives on another street, which is close to the commercial downtown but quiet in the middle of the city, and the environment is also quite good. The carriage stopped in front of the 'door' of the Liang house, and Uncle Zhang stepped forward to pat the 'door' before someone came to answer the 'door', and then He Dani gave Uncle Zhang a few pennies and invited him to eat something at a nearby food stall and wait for them.
The 'door' room bowed to everyone in the He family, but the tone when calling people was not very warm, as if they were not close relatives of the Liang family, but it was not rude, looking at the expressions of He Dawei and He Liang, they seemed to have long been accustomed to it.
The next person led them to see the old man Liang, but they didn't even enter the second 'door', that is, they saw them in the main hall where they entered, and only the old man and the old lady and the two sons in the family came out to entertain them, except for this 'female' family of the same generation.
If He Dawei and He Xiaojie are male guests and 'female' relatives are inconvenient to meet, their own 'daughter' He Liang and He Dani are not outsiders, and they should be able to enter the second 'door' to talk with the 'female' dependents, but no, the four members of the He family are talking to the elders in the main hall, and the parents and brothers of this family are cold to the He family, and the father and daughter have not seen each other for a long time and have no more smiles.
The four of them saluted first, and then He Dani saluted her grandfather and grandmother and two uncles alone, and the four elders each gave a red envelope, and said a few words of encouragement without pain. He Dani was deferential, no matter what the other party said, she said yes, behaved extremely well-behaved, and did not ask the Liang family to pick out a thorn.
After He Dani finished the salute, the family sat down and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and took turns to ask about the situation at home, and then the topic turned to He Dani, and asked about He Dani's life in the capital as usual. He Dani said today in as much detail as yesterday, and she didn't say a word about the past life in the palace on the grounds of palace rules, and only said some of the prosperity of the capital to the elders.
It's just that this scene is so cold that people tremble, He Dani feels like a storyteller, just she says, there is no one to coax the seedlings below, even the most low-level storyteller on the street can at least listen to a few boos.
After two quarters of an hour, counting the time of the previous salute and greetings, she sat at Liang's house for nearly half an hour, He Dani couldn't stand it, and when a story came to an end, she picked up a teacup to moisten her throat.
At this time, the two step-uncles stood up one after another, not to talk to the He family, but directly to their father, Mr. Liang, and said that they would go down to deal with business, so they would not sit here more, and invited the brother-in-law's family to have lunch at home before leaving.
"Well, it's okay, you all go, this year is about to end, send a few invitations to the Xiangjia branch, make an appointment with the three shopkeepers, invite them to have a meal, and contact the 'confused' feelings." Although the 'daughter's family is not an outsider, but the married 'daughter' is the water that was spilled, and Mr. Liang 'handed over' the business in front of the 'daughter' and son-in-law's family, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
The two sons responded, He Dawei found a new topic, and hurriedly congratulated his father-in-law, "Congratulations to my father-in-law, I have heard that several shopkeepers in the Xiangjia branch are busy people, and it is very difficult to ask them for dinner. I really didn't know before, it turned out that the 'drug' shop still had dealings with the Xiangjia branch. ”
Old man Liang was very interested in the sycophants of his 'son-in-law', he turned his face and stroked his beard, and put on a preachy face, "What kind of place is that Xiangjia branch?" It is one of the three major families in the capital of the "medicine" industry, our Gusang County is the territory of the Xiang family, don't look at our "medicine" market, but here to do this line of trading are only to the family branch Ma Shou is Zhan, where is their shopkeeper so easy to invite, the post of inviting dinner every year has not been completed after the New Year. ”
"Yes, what my father-in-law said is that the 'daughter' and son-in-law have also heard that the three shopkeepers of the Xiangjia branch are all busy people, and it is particularly difficult to invite, they want to look at people who are not pleasing to the eye, even if they hand over posts every day, they will not appreciate their faces and drink a sip of tea."
"Isn't that the truth, but what can I do, I know that it is difficult to please or invite, but fortunately, after my efforts, someone promised to say more good things to me in front of the shopkeeper, and with internal response, it should be my turn to invite this year." Old Man Liang laughed proudly, and He Dawei hurriedly said that he was happy.
He Dani thought it was strange, what was so funny about him if it didn't work out? It's a matter of being able to be proud of being able to go online with the guys in the Xiangjia branch?
"Hey, you're not a 'medicine' family, I'll tell you what to do." Old man Liang himself is not proud, and he is still a little contemptuous, "'Daughter' son-in-law, it's rare for you to come to the house, just have a light meal at home at noon and then leave, anyway, you usually don't eat much at home, and the eldest 'daughter' must not have much money when she leaves the palace, so let's eat at home." ”
"It's not a hassle, the family has bought all the vegetables, and we still go home to cook lunch." A family of three is eating 'medicine', and the soup 'medicine' is taboo, before stopping the 'medicine', He Dawei didn't dare to eat and drink outside, his body is more important.
"What's the matter, I don't like the food at my father-in-law's house?" Old Man Liang put on a face.
"Don't dare, don't dare." He Dawei apologized again and again.
"My grandfather was worried a lot, because my father and I were all conditioning their bodies, and they were quite taboo, so they didn't dare to eat and drink outside, and I asked my grandfather and grandmother not to mind. It's getting late, and we still have some way home, so we won't bother, let's take our leave. "I couldn't see He Dawei's nest in front of his father-in-law, He Dani had to 'stand up'.
"Oh, I see. Also, you have suffered these days, and your body has collapsed, since the 'girl' is back, it is time to take care of it, and your family will rely on this 'girl' in the future, but you must treat others well. "Old Man Liang's face immediately eased, and he didn't have any sincerity just now.
"Yes, the 'daughter-in-law' has been taught, our family will not bother, father-in-law and mother-in-law, please take care of your health, we will leave."
"Hmm." The old man and the old lady sat still, and only called the housekeeper, "Butler, send off guests." ”
A middle-aged man immediately came in from the outside and made a gesture of please, and after the four members of the He family saluted Liang's father and Liang's mother again, they followed the housekeeper to the 'door'.
As soon as she stepped out of the 'door' of the main hall, He Dani said to He Dawei, "Daddy, you can go back by yourself in a while, I still have some things, I will go back by myself later." ”
"'Girl', it's almost noon, what else is going on with you? Can't you do it again in the afternoon? "He Dawei didn't understand why the 'girl' suddenly got into trouble, and he never heard her talk about it.
"Well, there are still a few elders in the city who haven't visited them, and they seem to be around here, so I want to take advantage of this time to do it together, and I don't have to go out again in the afternoon."
"And the elders? What other elders? The elders in the family have all met me. ”
"Daddy, these are not blood relatives, but the 'daughter' can't go, they've been back for a few days, and if they don't go to the 'door' again, they should be upset."
"Yo, 'girl', what kind of elder makes you pay so much attention?" He Dawei's curiosity was fully mobilized, let alone him, He Liang's ***, and even the housekeeper who led the way pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.
"It's not a big person, it's just that when I was in the capital, I was taken care of by them, and I said that I would go to see them when I got home, and they gave me an address, saying that it was in the downtown area, and it was a 'very' big 'door' face, as if the business was doing well. By the way, Daddy, do you know where 188 Wafang Street is? I went home for so long and only walked around Wafang Street for one day, and that street was becoming more and more prosperous, but unfortunately I was looking for Liang Kee's 'medicine' shop at that time, and I didn't pay attention to where this 188th No. 188 was. ”
"One hundred and eighty-eight? It's at the end of the street, and I don't really pay much attention to what kind of shop it is, and I don't walk much down that street, but fortunately, it's not far, and it should be easy to find if you ask someone around there. Since you were taken care of by others when you were in the capital, you should go and visit, don't forget to bring some snacks and fruits or something, although people are not bad for you, but in the end it is your heart. He Dawei Yin Yin admonished.
"Yes, Father, I'll remember to buy some." He Dani nodded meekly 'girl'.
The housekeeper led the four members of the He family to bypass the shadow wall and go out of the big 'door' to the street, Uncle Zhang saw it at the noodle stall opposite, and immediately got up to settle the bill, and brought the cart from the nearby alley, and the housekeeper helped people to get into the car one by one, and when He Dani was about to get into the car, she was pulled by the housekeeper.
He Dani looked at the housekeeper strangely, on the surface she was puzzled, but her stomach was full of joy.
"Miss He, I know where the number one hundred and eighty-eight is." The butler strained his face vigorously, trying his best to make it look like he was just kindly pointing the way, but the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time and made his expression very strange, and I don't know if he wanted to cry or laugh.
"Oh? Does the housekeeper know? It's really good, I'm afraid that I will take the wrong road more, butler, please speak. He Dani urged.
"The car walks along this street, a road turns right out until Wafang Street, and then the big girl, you get out of the car, and then go straight with your right hand, you can see No. 188 after a few steps, three open 'door' faces, people come and go, you will never find a mistake all the way over, especially conspicuous and easy to find."
"Oh, it's so close, is there any better pastry shop nearby?"
"Yes, yes, then you get off at the intersection and walk on your left hand, the one you see across the street is, a decades-old brand, the girl must not remember it for many years away from home, everyone in the county loves to eat that family's cakes and sweets, expensive is expensive, but it is definitely worth the money."
"Okay, I see, thank you butler for your advice, and I'll leave." He Dani jumped into the carriage and sat down, and Uncle Zhang whipped and set off.
The butler stood by the roadside for a while, and when he saw the carriage go away, he called out a young 'gate' room, whispered a few words, and the 'gate' room immediately followed in the direction of the carriage.
The butler immediately turned around and ran inside, and 'handed over' to the next person, if someone was looking for him in the 'door' room for a while, then he would bring him directly wherever he was.
The subordinate received the order.
After the housekeeper finished 'handing', he hurried to report the news inside, first ran back to the main hall and didn't see anyone, and asked the girl to learn that he had returned to the study, so the housekeeper hurriedly chased to the study and hurriedly pushed the 'door' in.
"Sir! Big news! ”
The old man Liang, who was having a headache with his two sons, how could he successfully invite the three shopkeepers of the Xiangjia branch to dinner when he saw the housekeeper's panicked appearance, his heart suddenly became angry, and he scolded: "What are you shouting? Who allowed you to come in without notice? Haven't you seen busy? Get out and get out. ”
Where is the housekeeper willing to retreat, he just heard the big news, and he is about to make a contribution. Therefore, I can only temporarily disobey my master.
"Master, don't worry, after listening to the little one, it's not too late for you to rush the little one out."
Old Man Liang was angry, and his mood was better, and the housekeeper was his own old man, so he didn't drive him out again, but he still said impatiently, "Say it quickly." ”
"Just now, the younger one sent the young lady's family out, and I heard the eldest girl of their family say that she was going to meet a few elders in a while, and she didn't go with her family......"
The housekeeper had just made an opening remark, and Old Man Liang was impatient again, "This is what you want to say?" What kind of thing is this, what does it matter to my Liang family if the eldest girl of their family can't go home or not?! ”
"Ouch, master, you dissipate your anger, the next thing the little one is going to talk about is the point, you listen to the little one."
At this time, the two sons also followed to persuade their father to listen patiently to what the housekeeper said, the housekeeper has been in the Liang family for so many years, and rarely looks at him like this, there must be something important to report.
Old Man Liang listened to his son's persuasion, and patiently urged the housekeeper to speak quickly.
The housekeeper thanked the two young masters for their help, and then went down slightly, "The girl said that those elders are not blood relatives, but she was taken care of by them when she was in the capital, and she had already said that she would go to see them when she returned home, so she took this opportunity to take a look, and then she asked her uncle if she knew where No. 188 Wafang Street was?" Master, do you think this is big news?
Entering the 'Door'
