Chapter 16 Merge
The lobby of Fan Lou is still noisy, especially the scene where the Song family sisters and brothers apologized to Mo Yunxiao just now, which is enough to make diners talk about it for many days.
Fifth sister-in-law Song looked at Huan'er's back, and saw that she gently closed the door and then plugged in the deadbolt. Song Mingxuan and his sister glanced at each other, then picked up a glass of sake, and said to Mo Yunxiao, who was sitting at the table: "Sister Helu, I, Song Mingxuan, don't know Jing Yu, I really have no eyes. Fortunately, Helu is lenient and compassionate, and I ......."
"Alright. Let's leave these scenes outside. I don't like to hear it. Mo Yunxiao raised her eyes and glanced at him, but when she saw that he was clear, his eyes were shining, and his heart couldn't help but flutter again.
So she also took a drink from the wine glass, then wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and said: "Love is a matter of two people, and it is indeed admirable that you dare to break the barriers of political marriage." But I wonder, what kind of charm does that person have to make you so reckless? ”
"That person?" Song Mingxuan's sword eyebrows showed, and his face was immediately red and embarrassed. Just as he was scratching his ears and cheeks, Song Wu's sister-in-law hurriedly greeted her with a smiling face: "It's all because I didn't teach Jiaxing well, so I let him do such a thing." Alas, the matter has come to this, except to beg Helu to open your net, I ...... I couldn't ask for anything more. ”
"Come on! The hot Bianhe vinegar fish is coming! A young "uncle" walked in with a fish plate and pushed the door open. This fish plate is very long and needs to be held with both hands. On the fish plate is a fat, bright red river fish.
"Uncle" put the fish on the table and said to Mo Yunxiao with a smile: "Miss Mo, this is the craft of the fifth sister-in-law, you can taste it." ”
Mo Yunxiao was about to speak, but Huan'er responded first: "Thank you, uncle." ”
"Uncle?" Mo Yunxiao turned her head to look at Huan'er with a suspicious expression: "What?" Is he your uncle? ”
Her question made everyone present a little confused. Huan'er explained with a smile: "The guy in the store, the man is called 'uncle', and the woman is called 'Bad', can't the girl even forget this?" ”
"Oh......" Mo Yunxiao nodded as if she didn't understand, and didn't say anything more. But her dazed face was clearly seen by the Song family sisters and brothers.
The "uncle" was also a little embarrassed, and he was about to withdraw after owing slightly. The one who came by mistake with him was the housekeeper of the store, Cao's mother.
"Oh, why are you stunned?" Cao's mother came over with a small tin box in her hand. Mo Yunxiao saw it in her eyes, but she didn't know what this iron box was.
Mother Cao put the iron box on the cabinet by the window, and said to Mo Yunxiao with a smile: "Big girl, the fifth sister-in-law has made a capital this time." This is 'Han Gong Thick Plum Fragrance', which is easy not to smoke. Only a distinguished guest like the eldest girl is willing to smoke a few pills when he visits. What do you think? Can it still be quiet? ”
"Oh, it turned out to be aromatherapy." Mo Yunxiao sniffed lightly, and sure enough, she felt a faint fragrance, quite the smell of plum blossoms, so she replied: "Thank you Mother Cao, this fragrance is very expensive, and it is really unsettling for me to be here." ”
"Oops!" Cao's mother clapped her hands with a smile and hurriedly said, "When will the big girl be exquisite." The Song and Mo families have a good family, so why should they be so polite. ”
"Mother Cao!" Fifth sister-in-law Song frowned and said, "You put down the incense and go out, the guests outside must have someone interested to take care of." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll go." Mother Cao walked out while responding, but her eyes always stayed on Mo Yunxiao, with a slight smile.
"Huan'er." Fifth sister-in-law Song watched Cao's mother go out before she took her eyes back and said to Huan'er: "I have something to tell your girl." Can you ......?"
She didn't finish her sentence, but Huan'er already understood. She also smiled and said, "It's the fifth sister-in-law." My girl has just recovered from her illness, and my fifth sister-in-law has to take care of her more. ”
"Of course." She also answered, and then looked sideways at Song Mingxuan. Song Mingxuan naturally understood what she meant, so he bowed his hand to Mo Yunxiao and said, "Helu, I'll go first." ”
Fifth sister-in-law Song followed the pace of the two and sent them out, and then closed the door and put on the deadbolt.
Mo Yunxiao saw that the fish in front of him was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, with layers of heat surging and mixed with the refreshing fragrance of fish. So she took off her felt hat and ate it as if no one was around.
Although the surface of the fish is burnt yellow, the tender white fish meat is turned outward with chopsticks, and the soup splashes on it, like ink-dyed silk silk, and gradually faints.
Mo Yunxiao couldn't help but dilate her pupils, and she was dumbfounded. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful fish and such a delicious fragrance. So she couldn't wait to grab a chopstick and slowly put it into her mouth. Chewing with teeth, the tender fish meat is like snow flakes breaking open layer by layer, fragrant and crispy, mixed with the fragrance of green onions, ginger spicy soup flows into the throat along with the fish, making people feel refreshed and refreshed.
Fifth sister-in-law Song walked back with a faint smile on her face. "How? Is my sister-in-law's fish okay? She sat opposite Mo Yunxiao and asked softly.
Mo Yunxiao nodded again and again, and said, "If you eat such a delicacy, it's worth dying right now." ”
"Hehehe......" Song Wu's sister-in-law was also amused and smiled, and said: "Helu is rare to praise people. As soon as Chrysostom opened, it was even more joyful than the official family sealing me a first-class order. ”
Mo Yunxiao's eyes lifted and she saw her fiddling with the tea set on the table. Although this set of tea sets is not as varied as the tea sets in the tea house, it must be a famous vessel when you look at the intersecting colors of blue and white.
Fifth sister-in-law Song also raised her eyes, and saw that she was looking at the tea set in her hand, so she smiled and said: "This is still the Ru kiln that you gave me from the old Helu, I have always treasured it, and it is easy not to use it." ”
Mo Yunxiao also smiled and said: "Tea sets have no value if they are not used, just like people are also worthless if they don't do things." ”
Fifth sister-in-law Song nodded after thinking about it and said, "Reasonable." Sister-in-law, I haven't read any books, so it's called Helu Joke. ”
Mo Yunxiao hesitated for a while, gently put down the chopsticks in her hand, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
Fifth sister-in-law Song was also stunned, and said with a smile: "I also thought that Helu had something to say to me." ”
"If it's a matter of Jiaxing's divorce, let's reveal it." Mo Yunxiao also smiled bitterly.
"Helu, there are no outsiders here, why are you pretending to be confused with me?" Fifth sister-in-law Song leaned forward slightly and said, "Have you forgotten that it was my birthday on September 18 last year?" You braved the heavy rain to bring me this set of Ru kiln tea ware. ”
She rubbed a soup bottle in her hand as she spoke: "This tea vessel is very expensive, and it is not easy for officials and eunuchs to use it." I am grateful that you sent it to me. But who knows, you are a salute first and then a soldier, and you have put your sister-in-law together. Hehe, haven't you forgotten about this? ”
Mo Yunxiao thought about it carefully and asked tentatively: "Is it a matter of merging stores?" ”
"Yes." Fifth sister-in-law Song nodded firmly and said, "You came to congratulate me on my birthday that day, and it was quite fun to drink and snort with me and Jiaxing." And before you left, you pulled me into the room and told me that you were going to merge the Ming Lou and the Fan Lou into a family. I should have begged you, but seeing that your mind was firm, I only said that I would think about it. This contemplation is the time of a few months. A lot has happened to our two families in the past few months. First, Jiaxing withdrew from the marriage regardless of emotion, and then you accidentally fell into the water and almost killed yourself. Alas, today I am here to apologize to you on behalf of Jiaxing, and secondly, I also want to talk to you about this merger. ”
Mo Yunxiao's eyes rolled, and she asked with a smile, "What is my sister-in-law going to say?" ”
"This ......" Song Wu's sister-in-law hesitated for a while, then smiled helplessly and said: "You also know that our Song family has been operating here since the founding of Taizu, and it is still a century-old shop, so it has earned some prestige." The Fan Lou Song family is magnificent, but to my generation and Jiaxing, there are only some fames left, and they are barely trying to maintain it. Hehe, Fan Lou is far from being as beautiful as it once was. ”
"So, my sister-in-law still doesn't want to merge with my Minglou?" Mo Yunxiao asked again.
Fifth sister-in-law Song was anxious, and frowned unconsciously: "Helu, I know that you have the ambition of a man and try to make a career." But I can't be sorry for the ancestors of the Song family. Jiaxing's divorce, I will kneel and kowtow to you in public, but the only thing to merge with the store is probably difficult to fulfill you. ”
"Sister-in-law...... Have you made up your mind and refuse to back down? Mo Yunxiao asked with a smile.
Her smile was full of chills, which made Song Wu's scalp tingle. But she didn't show weakness, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "The tablets of the ancestors of the Song family are in the building, if I retreat half a step, I am afraid that after death, I will not be able to see my ancestors underground." ”
"Sister-in-law, you're using the dead to crush the living." Mo Yunxiao picked up the chopsticks again and ate the fish: "Who in Tokyo doesn't know, there is nothing I Mo Yunxiao can't do if I want to do it." I neither kill nor oversell goods, but I only make two stores together, and it seems that I have not violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Mo Yunxiao's words were murderous, and Song Wu's sister-in-law was even more nervous, and was about to say something soft, but she heard Mo Yunxiao change her words again: "However, I don't plan to do that." ”
"What?" Fifth sister-in-law Song was a little surprised, and thought in her heart: "Could it be that she gave up so easily?" This is not like the 'female Yama' style. ”
Mo Yunxiao smiled meaningfully, but didn't say a word.
