Chapter 699: Empty
Xing Zhong came here with his wife and daughter to attend Daiyu's wedding. After Daiyu got married, his sister kept him for a few more days, and he happened to talk about marriage with the Xue family, so he stayed.
It's just that he didn't live in his sister's house here, because he had money, and he felt that Guangzhou was really good, with a lot of new gadgets and food, so he simply bought a house and went down the street next door.
The Xue family has only been gone for a month since the second master of Xue was gone, and Xue Zhen went back to work at the auction house. Just in time for the first auction, his eloquence was vividly displayed at the auction, but he showed his face fiercely.
Many merchants recognized Xue Zhenlai, and when the auction ended, whether they had won anything or not, they all pulled Xue Zhen and asked questions.
When they learned that Second Master Xue was gone, these merchants said that they would go to make up for Second Master Xue.
Xue Zhen was embarrassed to ask those people to go to his house, the small courtyard they are renting now, not to mention that so many merchants go in to offer incense, even people can't stand there.
When Benjamin found out about this, he bought a three-in, three-out house near the foreign bank. said that it was an employee benefit, and it was temporarily lent to Xue Zhen's family.
Xue Zhenyuan refused to accept it, but Yingchun stood up and persuaded him: "If you don't think about yourself, you have to do the last filial piety for your father." He was lonely and depressed when he left, and he regretted going to Huangquan. Now there are people mourning for him, which is a good thing. Even if it's a mending gift, it's better than nothing.
"Besides, you have suffered alone, but your mother still has to recuperate. There is nothing in that yard, and your mother has to work every day to keep the house, how can she get better?
"Now you already have an errand, this month's monthly money asked your brother-in-law to give you a cushion first, you take this money to buy or hire or hire, and the family affairs are served, so your mother can recuperate with peace of mind, right?
"You only have your own backbone, but you don't think that your mother and sister have laid down fine clothes and food, and now they live there how desolate."
Xue Zhen was ashamed when he heard this, so he agreed to Benjamin's help and borrowed his yard to live temporarily. Benjamin's side really paid him a month's money.
Xue Zhen was also obedient, and first hired a few maids to call her mother and sister, but she didn't want any family servants here. I also found a few other mothers-in-law to be responsible for the rough work, so I dared to invite those merchants to come to the house to mourn.
After Daiyu got married, Xue Zhen was all settled, and the family returned to its former cleanliness. Xing Zhong brought his wife to visit and discuss the marriage of the two families with Zhang.
Zhang is a woman, and she is old-fashioned. Now that she heard that Xing Zhong was willing to marry her regardless of family affairs, she was naturally willing in every possible way. After all, the Xing family is wealthy, and she is the younger brother of the governor's wife, and Xing Xiuyan herself is also outstanding, so she agreed almost on the spot.
Xing Zhong originally thought that a verbal agreement was good, after all, people had not yet been filial piety. But the Zhang family was afraid of long nights and dreams, so the two families exchanged Geng posts and sent them to the temple first.
Seeing that she was so anxious, Xing Zhong didn't look down on her in his heart. After all, her husband died, and her family was no longer in its previous state, and she wanted to marry such a good daughter-in-law, but she was afraid that if she missed this village, there would be no such shop.
So the two families secretly made a decision, and Xing Zhong came to report to his sister.
When Tanchun arrived, Xing Xiuyan was talking with Daiyu on the porch. Tanchun smiled and went up to the verandah and asked her two, "Why don't you go into the house?" ”
Daiyu smiled and said to her: "You go and ask your aunt to come out, let's go to the big sister to have a while." ”
Tanchun answered, went in to see his mother and uncle, and when he left, he told his mother that he would go to the eldest sister and would not come back for dinner at noon.
Hearing this, Xing Shuang instructed her: "Since you are going, bring some tonic herbs over, your sister wants to cook medicinal food, and she can always use it." ”
Tanchun belched, came out and instructed his subordinates to prepare tonic herbs, and then stood and talked to Xing Xiuyan and Daiyu for a while. After a while, the waiter came and said that the things were ready, and the three of them set off for the foreign company.
Benjamin's foreign company doesn't sell anything on weekdays. The auction house is only open during auctions, but the main entrance is also wide open on weekdays for customers who bring in their lots.
Tanchun and the three of them were about to enter through the back door, but when they passed by the main gate, Xing Xiuyan suddenly said: "What is that foreign company like, have you seen it?" ”
Tanchun smiled: "There is nothing to see there on weekdays, it is empty." ”
Daiyu also said: "I've seen it once before I opened it, and I haven't been here since I opened it." Sister Xing wants to go and see? ”
Xing Xiuyan said: "There is no such foreign company in Hangzhou, and there are many shops of foreigners. Since I have come, I am unwilling to see the knowledge. ”
Tanchun asked the coachman to turn to the main entrance, and the three of them got out of the car at the door, and climbed the stairs all the way into the foreign store.
As soon as the foreign company entered, it was a hall, as Tanchun said, empty, but it was not nothing.
Along the base of the wall, there is a sofa chair, and in the middle of the two sofas, there is a coffee table. In the middle of the hall, there is a row of counters with several windows.
The people sitting at the counter were all handsome-looking little guys, Xing Xiuyan glanced at it and lost interest, and said to Tanchun Daiyu and the others: "There's nothing to see here, let's go back." ”
The two sisters immediately understood what Xing Xiuyan's purpose was, smiled and followed out of the foreign company, got into the car again and went to the house behind the foreign company.
Yingchun saw that the three younger sisters were coming, and they were busy greeting people with tea and pouring water, and when she heard that she also brought tonic herbs, she couldn't help but smile and said: "What are you doing with this again, I haven't finished eating what my mother asked someone to send last time, and this thing is too much, but it's just broken." ”
For a while, Si Qi took the little maid in to serve tea, and the sisters stopped, and waited for the maids to retreat before continuing to speak.
At noon, Yingchun really left three people to eat, and said: "I eat lightly here, not as good as at home." Because I love the smell of oil, recently he had people make mayonnaise, and only mix some cooked beef, chicken and vegetables every day, and eat it.
"If you think my food is not delicious, I will send someone to buy some snacks from my private restaurant. I just want to eat the big fish and meat, I'm afraid I don't have it here. ”
Daiyu smiled: "I'll just eat with you, no one at home can make mayonnaise, and I may not have eaten salad for a long time." ”
Tanchun said unceremoniously: "I want to eat shrimp dumplings, and I also want to eat goose paws wrapped in tofu skin." My sister asked the cook of the private dish to make me a pot of fish fillet porridge, and I don't want to eat cold today. ”
Yingchun laughed, pointed to Tanchun's nose and said, "You're welcome." Then he asked Xing Xiuyan: "What do you eat?" ”
