Chapter Ninety-Seven: Farewell
In Baixian County, Xuanzhou, the most prosperous trader on the street now belongs to the Jiang family noodle restaurant. Flash Dance.
Although it has been open for less than three months, there are many customers every day, and it is really prosperous if you can't push it open.
From the rich and powerful Feng Dahu and the county official Qiu Zhixian, to the ordinary people Zhang San and Li Si, no one has never come to his noodle restaurant to eat noodles.
Even if some female relatives are inconvenient to go out, they will also call the Jiang family's fried noodles to the house to eat, and they have to deliver hundreds of servings.
Even Lord Zhizhou, who came to patrol the defense, also inscribed the Jiang family noodle restaurant, what a great honor is this? It's unique in Xuanzhou City.
Now the entire noodle restaurant is mainly run by Xu Lian'er, the eldest grandmother of the Jiang family, and the uncle of the Jiang family is helping to foil it.
"Put these sixteen bowls of mushroom fried noodles in this basket, cover them with a muslin cloth, and don't turn them over. Be careful to send it to Zhang's Mansion on the front street, and remember to close the bowl when you get to the next day," Lian'er instructed the guys in the store to deal with the customers in front of her: "You can go to the second floor to sit, there is a seat by the window, I will ask the runner to take a few of you up." ”
It's only been three months, and Lian'er has changed a lot. She wore a goose-yellow embroidered silk dress with cropped sleeves for the convenience of being busy.
Her jet-black hair is tied into a beautiful peony bun, a jade hairpin is inserted, and two pearl earrings make a face clean and soft. 35xs
She grew a little bigger, and she was much plump. Inadvertently brought out a few wisps of style, like a light and mature little woman.
She selected some of the beggars who had helped out with her diligence and became the men in the noodle shop, providing them with food and shelter, and their monthly wages were also considerable.
She recognized Mrs. Wen as her godmother again, and often went to help their grandchildren.
Because there was a person who taught her to be kind to the good people around her.
"Is Boss Yang eating well?" Jiang Yaozu collected the bills on the side, and also skillfully greeted the customers who came to settle the bill after dinner: "I erased the change for you, and you only need to pay five hundred yuan." ”
"Boss Jiang is happy, he is really a person who has read books, and he is reasonable!" The customer was satisfied with the meal and was wiped with a fraction, and his heart was very comfortable.
"Boss Yang, it's funny! How many times have you taken care of our business, and that's all as it should be. Jiang Yaozu smiled modestly and kindly.
He is no longer buried in the pile of old papers as before, thinking about poetry all day long, but is at ease the owner of the restaurant and the bookkeeper, and is also Lian'er's helper. Every morning, the husband and wife get up early and boil the sauce for the day with their mother-in-law, wife and brother.
The rest of the noodles, cut noodles and cut side dishes are all to help the cook, Lian'er is only responsible for seasoning, although it is very hard every day, but the income is considerable. Flash Dance.
After this breath, the husband and wife sat down to take a breath, and Lian'er couldn't help but sigh softly when she looked at the yellowing willow leaves outside the door.
"You're thinking about it again, aren't you?" Jiang Yaozu asked her thoughtfully, while taking a handkerchief to help her wipe the thin layer of sweat on her forehead. "No, she sent a few letters when she first arrived in Ling Tiancheng, but now I count that it is time to write these days, but I don't know what happened to her." Lian'er said that the worry on her face became more obvious.
"She is a girl's family after all, there are no relatives and no reason, and there is no one to take care of. Although she is smart and capable, she still has to endure hardships, and she still has to suffer from the tiredness she should suffer, I really hope that she can find a good person to marry as soon as possible, so that she can have a fever. Lian'er said quietly.
"Maybe in two days, her letter will come!" Jiang Yaozu comforted Lian'er and said: "You are pregnant now, don't think about it all day long, according to me, you should go home and rest, I will take care of it here." ”
"I'm not tired," Lian'er shook her head and said, "My mother also said, there is no need to be so squeamish, we are from a poor family, and we usually move more actively, but it is smoother when we are born." ”
"But when you have a big belly in a few days, it's always inconvenient," Jiang Yaozu stretched out his hand, touched Lian'er's flat lower abdomen, and gently touched it, "If you feel sorry for your mother, be good." ”
Lian'er shyly brushed Jiang Yaozu's hand away and said, "Don't do it like this, it's not good for people to see it!" How can you say that you are also a reader? ”
At this time, many half-grown children ran past the door, and as they ran, they shouted: "Go and see, there is going to be murder on the execution ground!" ”
"There's a prisoner to be executed today?" A few people walked by in groups at the door, and one of them asked.
"Have you forgotten? The notice was posted three days ago, it was the official media Zhao's mother, and the grandmother of the Jiang family! Another said.
"Shhhh Be quiet, this noodle restaurant is opened by the Jiang family's uncle," someone quickly stopped talking: "Don't let people hear." ”
Lian'er also remembered that today was indeed the day when the former Jiang family's grandmother Hu and Zhao's mother were executed, she glanced sideways at Jiang Yaozu, and said to him softly: "You go and send her!" After ten years of husband and wife, she is no longer right, a dying person, let's stop worrying about her! ”
Jiang Yaozu was soft-hearted, and Lian'er was considerate, so he carried a basket with a fried sauce noodle, covered it with a muslin cloth, nodded to Lian'er, and went out.
The noon sun was still very dazzling, Jiang Yaozu rushed to the execution ground and saw that Hu and Zhao's mother were kneeling there, and after a few months, Hu's whole person became disfigured, and Jiang Yaozu almost didn't recognize it.
But Hu Shi saw Jiang Yaozu in the crowd at a glance, and the two of them met in their eyes, and the sour and sweet of ten years knew each other in this look.
Hu Shi laughed miserably, her life was very short, but the longest days were the ten years since she married into the Jiang family.
In these ten years, she hardly suffered a day without living. She resented, she was melancholy, she was anxious, she was distressed. But she also struggled and begged, she wanted to help her husband get ahead, because she felt that Jiang Yaozu would not be able to live without him.
Who would have thought that in the three months he was in prison, when he saw Jiang Yaozu again, he found that he was much happier than when he was with him. Whether a person is happy or unhappy can be seen from his eyes, especially for people he knows well.
Hu was so sad in her chest that she had to admit that she was so wrong.
It turned out that what she was trying to seek was not what Jiang Yaozu really wanted, but now what is there to say.
So when Jiang Yaozu put the bowl of noodles in front of her, Hu Shi chose to forgive, and she said to Jiang Yaozu: "It's cold in a few days, don't forget to drink less Suhexiang wine every day, your spleen and stomach are not good." ”
Jiang Yaozu's tears rained down.
