Chapter 67: Returning to the Door
Although Xu Chang wanted to cry very much, when he saw that his father was so angry, his crying stopped abruptly.
Zhang Zezhen smiled at Xu Chang with a victorious gesture and began to eat.
"I have something to say." Xu Yue said solemnly.
"What's that?"
"I'm going to leave the private school and go home to prepare for next year's scientific examination."
"Really? Yue'er, let me just say, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to honor your ancestors on the gold list." When Xu Zhao heard his son's decision, his mood was also relieved from the grievances and resentment just now.
But Xu Mingyuan was not very happy, he said coldly, "Don't you don't like fame and fortune? Why did you suddenly remember to participate in the scientific expedition?"
Zhang Zezhen suddenly interrupted and said, "This is a joint decision between me and Xu Yue, it is an honorable thing to participate in the scientific expedition, not only the Xu family benefits, but even our Zhang family also has a long face."
"Let's talk about this matter again, you better go to the private school and teach hard."
"No need to discuss it, I will find someone to take my place today, and I will officially start studying tomorrow."
After Xu Mingyuan heard this, his expression became even colder, he wanted to say something, but it stopped abruptly, and the already awkward atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing, and no one spoke.
Even the servants outside could feel a hint of cold.
After everyone finished eating, Xu Mingyuan put down the dishes and chopsticks and left the dining room directly, and the others were also relieved, and the people came over to quickly clean up.
Zhang Zezhen also touched her round belly and said, "Mother, I and the officials will go back to rest first." After saluting, the two also left.
Xu Zhao's face was nothing but anger and disgust.
"Hiccup...... I've eaten so much!"
"That's natural, there aren't many meals today, you're the only one who keeps picking up the food the whole time, of course you're full."
"Really? I didn't even pay attention! What about your father and your brother?"
"They, my father just eats, my mother, just add two mouthfuls of food, and the rest of the time is taking care of Xuchang. In short, you are the only one in the audience."
"Then I'll be relieved! I was worried that I wouldn't have enough to eat at your house!"
"Lady, you are definitely the victor in this regard!"
Regarding this evaluation, Zhang Zezhen nodded with satisfaction.
"The young lady is here!"
"Young lady!"
"Young lady!"
As he was about to get to his room, a group of subordinates rushed over.
"What's the situation? Are you going to rob? I'm penniless, look for your young master, he has!" Zhang Zezhen kicked the pot to Xu Yue.
Xu Yue looked at her and was speechless.
"No, how dare we rob you of your money! We're here to thank you!"
"Thanks? Why?"
"Today is the best food we have eaten in the Xu family for so many years, thanks to your support!"
"That is, young lady, from now on, if you need anything, just say it, and the little ones will do their best."
Zhang Zezhen said a little embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's not easy for everyone, and being able to eat enough is the most basic."
"Don't worry, as long as I am in the Xu family for a day in the future, I will never treat everyone badly."
"Thank you, young lady!"
"Thank you, young lady!"
"I really don't need to, okay, everyone go back and get busy!"
As soon as these words came out, the subordinates also left happily.
"I really didn't expect that you would become the god in their hearts just one day after you came, lady, I really admire you!"
"Come less! If it weren't for your father and your mother, would the people be so complaining?"
"It's true, and it's even more heart-wrenching that I didn't even know about it before."
"You men are just too self-righteous, always thinking that the world revolves around you, how can you care about the good or bad of others!"
"Don't stick it
Kill everyone, okay?"
"Yo, it seems that Xu Guanren is the one in a million?"
"Of course! By the way, let's get down to business, tomorrow is the day to go back to your mother's house, let's prepare a generous gift so that we can go back and stay for a few more days."
After hearing this, Zhang Zezhen put her hands on her shoulders and looked at Xu Yue with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Questions?"
"Why do you always come back to my house so aggressively?"
"Because I won't be wronged there!" Xu Yue proudly explained.
"It's true, at dinner today, Xu Mingyuan hasn't given you a good look, especially when it comes to scientific examinations, he seems to be a hundred unwilling."
"I'm used to it!"
"Also, he seems to be very interested in my cooking, did your father love to taste food before?"
"How is this possible? He rarely eats on time, and even when he does, he eats in a hurry, and then goes to get busy, so how can he have the time to taste the food?"
"That's weird!"
"Don't think about it, if you have time, let's think about what to bring back tomorrow!"
"Huh? What the hell does your dad do?"
"To be honest, I don't know, but I just heard from my mother that he usually collects some famous calligraphy and paintings, and looks for some authentic works for some literati and ink artists, and then sells them at a high price, and I don't know the rest."
Zhang Zezhen nodded.
"Why are you stunned? Have you figured out what to get tomorrow?"
"It's a little thing, you just go and get it, do I still have to get something when I go back to my house?"
Xu Yue ignored her and went out directly.
The next day, the two returned to Zhang's house with some things.
"Dad, mother, brother, sister-in-law! We're back again!"
When Zhang Zezhen shouted this sentence, he felt that his face was bigger again. After all, it was Xu Yue who was carrying things, as well as the subordinates, but he was empty-handed.
"Oh, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Zhang Yang's heard the sound and rushed over.
When Zhang Shanren saw that they had taken a bunch of things, he was distressed and said, "Come on, why are you taking so many things? Take it back and use it yourself!"
"We have, it's all for you!"
"Auntie, aunt, you're back!" The children jumped up and running to greet them.
"See what good food I've brought you?" Zhang Zezhen took out a bunch of candy from her body and distributed it to them.
"Thank you, auntie!" The children opened it in a hurry and ate it.
At this time, Xu Yue smiled and said, "I'm not here, how are you studying?"
As soon as these words came out, the children's expressions instantly froze, as if the sugar in their mouths was no longer fragrant.
Seeing this, Zhang Zezhen pinched Xu Yue, then tried a look and signaled him to shut up.
"It's okay, you keep eating! Let's be happy today, come! My aunt will give you a small amount of money!"
When the children heard that there was money, their eyes lit up.
"Dalang 10 money, Erlang 5 money, San Lang is the smallest, give 3 money, remember to listen to your father's words, you can't spend it indiscriminately, you know?"
"Got it, thank you, auntie!" The children said in unison.
"No thanks, let's play!"
Seeing the children playing, Zhang Zezhen came to Zhang Yang's side, "Mother, are there many people coming to our house for dinner today?"
"Of course, this is your big day, in Peach Blossom Village, everyone who is related to our family, as well as neighbors, I have called them!"
"So many people!" Zhang Zezhen's face was full of surprise, "Then who will cook?" Are you busy?"
"Don't worry, your three sisters-in-law are busy in the kitchen, I'm sure I can do it!"
After hearing this, Zhang Zezhen went to the kitchen to see if there was anyone who could help.
"Xu Yue, come, let's go to my room and chat with my father-in-law."
"Yes, Dad." Xu Yue is also very happy to come to Zhang's house, where he can be unrestrained, and he doesn't worry so much
Cheat.
"Sister-in-law, do you have anyone to help?"
"Zhenzhen is back? No, no, we're almost ready, you're the bride, you don't have to do it!" Li said while burning firewood.
"Second sister-in-law, have you steamed steamed buns? Is it the secret ingredient of the bun shop before?"
"Yes, since you gave it to me, I've used this recipe for steaming buns."
"Really? Then I'll have to taste it, I haven't eaten it in a long time!" Zhang Zezhen has always been the unity of knowledge and action, so she directly took one out and tasted it.
"Hot, hot!"
"Slow down, just out of the pot!"
"This tastes really good, and the second sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really getting better and better!"
"Didn't I owe you anything?"
After Zhang Zezhen praised the second sister-in-law, she staggered to the sister-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Stewed fish, my mother said, this is called fish every year, and it is a dish that must be made!"
"Becoming a family, and there are so many exquisitenesses, I thought it was just our own family having a meal, but I didn't expect so many people to come!"
"Marriage is a big event for a woman, how can you be hasty, okay, you go out quickly, we have it."
"Why didn't you see the third sister-in-law?"
"I'll tell you good news, your third sister-in-law is pregnant, and my mother asked her to raise the baby with peace of mind, don't get involved in cooking, just come out when it's time to eat."
"Really? Why didn't anyone tell me? When?"
"It's been two months pregnant, and she's always been a little unwell, but I didn't care, I invited a man to see it yesterday, and I found out that she was pregnant."
"Is there anyone with you?"
"Your third brother is here, don't worry!"
"I'll take a look, too!"
Zhang Zezhen came out of the kitchen and came to the third brother's room again.
"Knock knock!"
"Third brother and sister-in-law, I'm in?"
Zhang Zeshui opened the door: "Zhenzhen is here, come in quickly!"
"Third sister-in-law, I heard that you are pregnant? Boy or girl?"
"This stupid sister, it's only been two months, what can you see?"
"Rather, are you feeling unwell, are you feeling unwell?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine, this is the second time I've got experience!"
Zhang Zezhen nodded, her eyes staring at Guo's stomach, compared to before, there was indeed a slight change. She took out a bunch of money from her body and stuffed it into Guo's hand.
"Third sister-in-law, this is a little bit of my heart, don't be too little!"
"What are you doing here? We have our own money!" new
"It's Zhenzhen, the income from Jinyutang's operation, my father and mother have given us a share, you don't have to give us more!" The two tried their best to refuse the kindness of the little sister.
"Oh, this is for my unborn child, not for you! If you don't, I'll be angry!" Zhang Zezhen pouted and put on an angry look.
Guo Shi looked at Zhang Zeshui and said, "Okay, okay, let's just take it!" I'll thank his aunt for the child!"
"That's right!"
"By the way, how has the business of Jinyu Mansion been in the past two days? Is there anyone who is causing trouble?"
"Everything is fine, everyone is doing things according to the rules, and no one is causing trouble."
Hearing the third brother say this, she was also relieved.
"And we have more and more regular customers, and I know a few of them."
"It means that our food has been approved by everyone. Is there enough people in the store? It may take me a while before I can take care of the business."
"It's enough for now, don't worry about it."
