Chapter 644: Faith
In the back hall, Li Xin opened the letter and read it, and after reading it, there was a deep thought on his face.
In addition to the usual polite words such as congratulating on the housewarming, Mrs. Shen also wrote some bits and pieces, like handwriting, and wrote wherever she thought, without much substance, and there were only two things that Li Xin cared about.
But such an attitude made Li Xin a little suspicious.
It stands to reason that according to Mrs. Shen's temperament, she would not write such irrelevant things in the letter
"Madam, the big kitchen asks if you want fresh fruit." Qingya walked over softly and asked in a low voice.
Li Xin came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Seeing that the guests have almost eaten, I will also put up the fresh fruits." β
Qingya answered the order, and Li Xin folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope.
Now Shen Siye is becoming more and more calm, and he has long lost the frivolous appearance he had at the beginning. Li Xin couldn't help but think of Guan Wen saying that Mrs. Shen Si gave birth to a child, and the child died soon after it was born, and the child was ...... And Mrs. Shen Si was sent to the village to recuperate, and she couldn't help but sigh a little.
Mrs. Shen's letter mentioned two things that made Li Xin look away.
First, the Shen family workshop specializes in women's fragrant pancreas, fragrance, and clean skin products, after several years of operation, it has now been exported to Beijing, and the wealthy businessmen in Beijing have taken a fancy to this business opportunity and will come to negotiate in the near future. If the two parties are satisfied with the negotiation, this will undoubtedly be a higher level of business for the Shen family.
The second is the family affairs of the Shen family, Mrs. Shen nagged in the letter, her four sons under her knees, although they have all become married, but the grandchildren are desolate, and so far they have only the eldest grandson of the eldest son, that is, Shen Ruixuan, who was rescued by Li Xin by mistake, is now twelve years old. The other is the son of Second Master Shen. has only two grandchildren, and it is true that some children are not good.
The former made Li Xin look sideways, because the business of the Shen family's workshop was closely related to her, it can be said that this business was her leader at the beginning, if she hadn't withdrawn halfway through the situation, I am afraid that she is still a veteran of the Shen family's workshop.
The latter made Li Xin look sideways, but it was because Mrs. Shen deliberately mentioned it after this incident, saying that her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law would go home to live in China for a month at the end of her term of office, and then go to Beijing to make up for the vacancy, and brought a letter from home saying that she planned to meet Li Xin, who had saved their eldest son.
Mrs. Shen has only two things to worry about, one is the Shen family's business, and the other is her parents and grandchildren.
It's like giving Li Xin's heart, even if he talks about trivial matters in the Shen family, he only mentions the eldest son, second son, and third son, but he doesn't say a word about Shen Siye.
It's hard for Shen Siye to help Mrs. Shen deliver the letter.
Li Xin sighed and hugged the crying Youyou, Li Xin took Youyou, untied her clothes and fed her.
The housewarming banquet was held very grandly, and under the joint attention of Guan Wen and Li Xin, the plaque of "Guan Zhai" was hung at the main entrance.
Liu, as Li Xin's biological mother and Guan Wen's mother-in-law, couldn't close her mouth when she saw this scene, and hurriedly found Li Xin here after eating, followed by Zhang, Shanzi, Xiaodou and Li Ge.
Li Xin's youngest sister Li Ge grew up to be a talent at a young age, and she was introduced as the young sister of the Guan family's mother, which attracted everyone's praise and made the Liu family have a good time again.
Li Ge had just learned to walk, and he was walking upside down on the ground alone. Liu didn't care about her, and let Xiaodou take care of her.
Shanzi pouted, and sat impatiently to the side, his legs crossed. was glared at by Zhang's fiercely, and then sat upright, but after a while, he sat down and lost his shape.
They are all children, Li Xin is not harsh when she looks at it, and praises Xiaodou knows that she can take good care of her little aunt at a young age, so she let Liu and Zhang sit.
Liu looked at Li Xin's back hall and felt that it was spacious and bright, and the roof was high, which made Liu like it.
"You're doing well now, and you deserve to live in a high house like this." Liu sighed and praised: "Ah Wen also has the ability, so he has been in the town for a long time to set up such a family business." You don't know, the people in the village envy me! He said that my life is good, and my children are promising.
Liu Shi giggled, Li Ge stopped and tilted his head to look at Liu, also laughed twice, and ran around again. At this time, not only Xiaodou chased after her, but also chased after the fruit, for fear that the hostess's sister would stumble.
Li Xin smiled, knowing Liu's temperament, her mother just likes to show off, which is understandable.
"My mother and sister-in-law came here, and there are directors at home, right?" Li Xin asked.
Liu replied: "The family has also hired a long-term worker, and my father and mother are also living a prosperous life at this time, don't worry." β
Zhang also smiled: "The work at home is not heavy, except for watching those children a little uneasy, the rest is fine." β
Shanzi hummed on the side: "I finally came out to play once, and I still stayed in this room to talk, and you won't be allowed to ......go out if I want to go out."
"Li Hang!" Zhang Shi suddenly said with a straight face: "You are studying in the school, and you also talk to Mr. like this?" β
Shanzi is getting older, and his family no longer calls him by his nickname, but by his big name Li Hang.
Li Hang snorted, presumably because he was also afraid of his mother, so he didn't dare to refute immediately, lowered his head slightly, and pursed his mouth slightly.
Li Xin was watching, but Li Hang looked at her and winked at her.
Li Xin reacted and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
This kid, all the rescuers have moved to her? I don't want to think about the time he used to live in the Guan family, but he tortured her enough, and she was willing to help him?
Li Xin was soft-hearted, and when he saw that Zhang's was angry, he persuaded softly: "Sister-in-law, he is a male baby in the end, he is an active age, and he should let him go out and make more friends. β
Li Xin looked at Li Hang again and said, "You go to play, you can go and find Yang'er and them." Yang'er and Xiaokang are always thinking about you. β
Li Hang seemed to have received an amnesty order, and without waiting for Liu and Zhang to express his position, he immediately shouted "Thank you, auntie", and immediately ran towards the door, running faster than a rabbit.
Zhang stroked his forehead with a headache: "Sister, you can't get used to him like this." He didn't go to the house for three days, and I didn't have a problem with him.
Li Xin thought to herself, Shanzi's temperament is like this, fortunately, the child is not crooked, there are no other bad problems, but he is more curious, more playful, and more courageous, but he doesn't care.
Liu also said: "Let him go wild, the wild boy will not be able to become a talent if he is not wild." Besides, on a day like this, what can he cause trouble? He's been a lot more restrained lately. β
My mother-in-law said this, so the Zhang family naturally didn't have much to say.
A few people talked about the old for a while, and one after another the female dependents came to the back hall. Xing'er, Ah Xiu and others helped to greet her, and Li Xin greeted Liu and Zhang, and also woke up and greeted her
In the end, she is the mother of the family.
After a busy day, Li Xin was tired enough. Counting today's harvest, one is to get a lot of housewarming gifts from guests, the second is to meet a lot of relatives and friends, and the third is to know a few female relatives who need to deal with in the future, which can be regarded as a preparation in advance.
After sending off the last group of guests, the sky gradually darkened.
Whether it was the people brought by Li Xin, the people assigned to help in Guan Wen's shop, or the people in the former house, they were all really tired.
Let the subordinates give Li Xin a gift and other things, so they can only wait for tomorrow to arrange.
Li Xin asked everyone to wash up and rest and sleep peacefully, she waited for Yang'er to fall asleep, and after coaxing Yoyo to fall asleep, she fetched water to let Guan Wen soak his feet.
When the husband and wife went to bed, it was already quiet.
Guan Wen touched his nose, although he had already rinsed his mouth, the breath coming out of his mouth still smelled of wine.
He turned to Li Xin and smiled, "I'm troublesome Madam today." β
Li Xin glanced at him: "I've really been messing with people in the town for a long time, and I'm talking about officialdom." β
Guan Wen smiled, and his middle hand wanted to wrap around Li Xin's waist.
Li Xin struggled, but he didn't break it, so he could only glare at him, dig out a small piece of paste from the bamboo tube, wipe it evenly in the palm of his hand, and spread it evenly on Guan Wen's face.
Guan Wen closed his eyes and sighed: "I said that this was made by a woman, you always let me wipe my face, ......"
"Winter weather is dry, beware of chapped skin." Li Xin said softly: "Besides, there is no taste, who smells you." β
"HmmΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Guan Wen sighed and asked Li Xin again: "This is the property of the Shen family?" β
Li Xin nodded: "Mrs. Shen said that a Beijing businessman came to negotiate with her about thisΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· She wrote to me about it. Arwen, what do you mean by Mrs. Shen? β
Guan Wen turned over: "Either I want to invite you to work together again, or I want to mention it to you to see what you do." β
"You mean, she tempted me?"
Guan Wen chuckled: "What does she have to test you, didn't you make it clear a long time ago and draw a clear line with the Shen family's workshop?" β
Li Xin thinks about it.
But after remembering this matter and telling Mrs. Shen about it, Mrs. Shen would still give her silver every month, and she would still tell Mrs. Shen what ideas she remembered... For a while, I felt that this line was not clearly drawn.
He sighed deeply.
asked another thing: "Fourth Master Shen looks very calm today, has everything in his family been dealt with?" β
Guan Wen was silent for a moment, slowly sat up and said to Li Xin, "I told you about Mrs. Shen Si's birth of a child...... You didn't tell anyone about it, did you? β
Li Xin immediately shook his head: "If you can't say it, I naturally won't say it." Besides, if this matter spreads, it really means that the Shen family's virtue is at a loss or something... Am I not poking a big basket? β
Guan Wen nodded solemnly: "So don't talk about this in the future." β
"I heard rumors in the market that Mrs. Shen Si had a difficult birth, and she died after giving birth, and she was sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside to recuperate... Li Xin said hesitantly: "This is a word of shirk? β
Guan Wen nodded again: "It's been more than half a year, and no one has mentioned it anymore." Therefore, we should not know about this matter in the future, and do not touch this topic. After a pause, Guan Wen said: "Fourth Master Shen is still worried about this matter, but it's just the matter of his inner house, and I don't want to ask." However, there are faint rumors that Mrs. Shen Si has blood deficiency after giving birth, and it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future, and the Shen family plans to divorce her wife on the grounds of "evil disease" and "childlessness". β
