Chapter 40: Warmth

Shen Ji listened to his mother's words, his heart was half cold, and he hurriedly pleaded on his face: "Mother, my son doesn't want to marry Miss Liu, so I begged my mother to help refuse this matter!" ”

Seeing his son's reluctant appearance, Zhou's expression was unswerving, "What's wrong with you?" Do you want to learn from your eldest brother's disobedience and unfilial piety? The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. He is disobedient and doesn't listen to his elders, do you want to do the same? ”

Shen Ji hurriedly defended, "Mother, I'm not disobedient and unfilial. It's really that Miss Liu is too young. ”

"What's wrong with being young? I am more than ten years younger than my grandfather, and we get along well. How did you come to you, and urine at a young age became an excuse to refuse marriage? ”

Shen Ji explained helplessly, "Mother, I don't know that Miss Liu Er, and the age difference between us is also big, so we really don't match. ”

Zhou Shi looked at his son and was unhappy, and couldn't help laughing: "You are purely worrying about it now, and you don't need to find these excuses to convince me." It's not up to you. Liu Mansion is powerful, it was originally set to be the eldest young master of Shen Mansion, this temporary change of hexagram, the old man's face is unreasonable. ”

Shen Ji suddenly hoped for resurrection, grabbed Zhou's hand and said: "Mother knows that her son is unhappy, if one day, my father will fall on me, my mother must help me refuse." ”

Zhou patted the back of his son's hand and smiled gently: "Don't worry, mother will." ”

If one day this good thing has a chance to happen to you, Mother will do her best to make it happen.

Shen Jimei smiled, "Thank you, mother." ”

"Let's go to lunch!" Zhou said.

Shen Ji hurriedly stood up and helped his mother to go to the main hall for dinner.

On the official road paved with gravel loess, there are travelers in twos and threes. Two horses galloped past, galloping through the dust.

As the sun sets, Meizhou City, thousands of miles away, is full of people.

At the door of Dongyue Restaurant, a group of people were saying goodbye.

"Boss Chen rest assured, the ordered 3,000 pieces of silk cloth will be delivered within two days." Xu Qinghe said with a smile.

"Miss Xu, I don't worry. Say goodbye, thank you for your hospitality today. The middle-aged man waved his hand and turned to leave with his entourage.

"Boss Chen, walk slowly." Xu Qinghe hurriedly bent down to say goodbye.

When the figures of the group disappeared into the sea of people, Xu Qinghe exhaled deeply and sighed, "I'm so tired!" ”

Xu Yao, who was beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Qinghe, and complained: "Miss, that Boss Chen is really ink, only three thousand pieces of silk cloth, and he was stunned to bargain for an hour, and in the end he didn't buy it at the original price." ”

Xu Qinghe took advantage of Xu Yao's support and slowly walked in the direction of Xiping Street, "He's not ink, it's a temptation." Today, for the first time doing business with Hui's Cloth Zhuang, he wanted to know what our reserve price was, so that he could try his best to keep costs down and make profits. ”

Xu Yao said disdainfully: "It's useless to tempt. said so much, in the end, it was not according to the price quoted by the lady to sign the order. ”

Xu Qinghe had some backache and abdominal pain when he went out today, and he barely managed to finish talking about this business, and he was exhausted at this time. She half-leaned on Xu Yao and said softly, "Don't talk about this." I'm so tired that I want to go back and rest as soon as possible. ”

Xu Yao held Miss's arm, looked at her with a tired look, and asked with concern, "Is there anything uncomfortable with Miss?" Why are you so tired? "Miss today doesn't seem to have done much, huh? I checked two shops in the morning, and talked about this business in the afternoon, which was much more leisurely than the previous days......

"I'm just feeling a little tired, just go back and get some sleep." Xu Qinghe whispered.

Xu Yao couldn't help laughing: "After the New Year, it's the first time I've heard Miss say I'm tired!" A-Yao thought that the young lady was an iron body and was tireless. ”

“……”

Xu Qinghe glanced at the little girl and continued to walk forward, "I have to practice horseback riding tomorrow, and I want to rest early today to recuperate." ”

When the two arrived outside the door of Xu's mansion, Xu Yao suddenly became startled, pointed to the empty house next door and shouted, "Miss, the door opened, and a figure shook over just now......

The purple begon-colored door was half open, and the figures inside could be faintly seen shaking. The forehead of the door was empty, and the plaque with the original word Liu Fu was gone......

Xu Qinghe glanced sideways, and said weakly: "It is estimated that the house has been sold." What's all the fuss about..."

It's a pity that I don't have enough money, otherwise I would have started a long time ago......

"I don't know which family moved in." Xu Yao smiled, "It's best to be approachable, amiable and ......"

"Is the House of Kindness so that you can go to the door?" Xu Qinghe said helplessly, "In case it is an official eunuch who moves here and lives next to each other, it is not a good thing for the Xu Mansion." ”

Xu Yao asked: "In case you are really an official, do you want the young lady to come to the door to say hello?" ”

"We'll talk about that then. What to do rashly. Xu Qinghe frowned, and said with difficulty, "Hurry up and help me into the house, my back hurts so much......"

Xu Yao was so frightened that he hurriedly helped Xu Qinghe into the house.

Mrs. Xu was walking slowly in the yard to eat, and saw the maid Xu Yao helping her daughter to come in in a hurry, and hurriedly greeted her, but found that Xu Qinghe's face was pale, and she asked in a panic, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Xu Qinghe stood with Xu Yao's support, smiling and comforting: "Mother don't worry, I just have a sore back and abdominal pain, just rest for a while." ”

Mrs. Xu heard this and said angrily: "How many times have I said it, let you go out and wear thicker, the days in March and April are warm and cold, and my daughter's family is the most vulnerable to cold." "While counting, I went to help her.

The two helped Xu Qinghe into the house, and set it up properly on the couch, Mrs. Xu turned to Shuangmei and ordered: "Let someone bring a basin of hot water, and then get a small stove." ”

Shuangmei should claim that it is, and immediately go down to buy it.

Xu Qinghe pulled Mrs. Xu to sit down on the edge of the couch and said with a smile: "Mother don't worry, there will always be a few months when it hurts badly." I'm very concerned about keeping warm now, and I think I'll feel better when I come. ”

Mrs. Xu held her daughter's cold hands with both hands, and kept rubbing, feeling distressed, "If the pain is so bad, I will rest at home, and it will not be bad for the business of these three or two days." ”

"I only felt pain in the afternoon, and I was talking to Boss Zhang at that time, so I had to endure it. Otherwise, I would have rested at home and made sure not to move. Xu Qinghe said with a grin.

Mrs. Xu warmed her daughter's hand with the temperature of her palm, and gently instructed, "You don't have to fight like this!" We orphans and widows spend little on weekdays. You are not too young, you must take good care of your body. ”

Xu Qinghe's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "I'm not saving money for the children!" The mother doesn't want her grandson to live with a thin birth, right? ”

Mrs. Xu slapped the back of her daughter's hand heavily when she heard this, and complained: "My own grandson doesn't know which life he was born, and it is in vain for you to save gold and silver!" ”

Xu Qinghe regretted it, he really didn't open any pot! At the moment, he hurriedly reassured: "Mother rest assured, in time, there will be gold and silver mountains, grandsons, and sons-in-law." ”
