Chapter 280: Look at each other
The main purpose of Chen Laoer's family coming to Fucheng this time was to meet Xie Yao's mother and son, so Ye Yunshu went to Tonghua Village early the next morning.
Knowing that Chen Wenyong's father and mother had arrived in Fucheng, Xie Yao looked very nervous, grabbed Xie Niangzi's hand, and the corners of her mouth were straight.
"Auntie, when you have time, my uncle and aunt want to treat you to a light meal. β
Xie Niangzi glanced at her nervous daughter and thought slightly, "It's better to be tomorrow, just tomorrow the workshop workers will rest." β
Ye Yunshu nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll go back and inform my uncle and aunt, you and Sister Xie Yao will come early tomorrow, and Sister Xie Yao knows the address of my house." β
Xie Niangzi bowed, "It must be earlier." β
After a few more pleasantries, Ye Yunshu went home.
When I was far away, I saw Chen Wenyong sitting by the door of the backyard waiting, his expression empty, and he felt a little bored.
Seeing that Ye Yunshu was back, Chen Wenyong suddenly became nervous again, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "How is it?"
Ye Yunshu couldn't help but joke with him, "Cousin, you are just inviting someone to have a meal, and you are not going to come to propose marriage, why are you so nervous, are you afraid that Sister Xie Yao will not come?"
Chen Wenyong was thin-skinned, and he was a little surprised when he heard the words, "Cousin Yunshu, why do you always like to joke with me." β
Ye Yunshu raised his eyebrows, "Who made your cousin so thin-skinned." β
Although he thought Chen Wenyong was funny, Ye Yunshu didn't tease much, laughed twice, and then said: "Tomorrow Xie Niangzi will bring Sister Xie Yao over, and we will have to go and set the table in a while." β
Hearing Xie Yao's agreement, Chen Wenyong's joy spontaneously appeared, "Cousin of hard work, I don't know which restaurant in this city can be selected?"
Ye Yunshu thought for a moment, " There are three good restaurants in this city, the first Ming Crane Tower, the place is elegant, the dishes are exquisite, but the price is quite high, not to mention that a meal also costs four or five taels of silver; the second is the drunken Xiangju, which is inferior to the decoration of the Ming Crane Tower, but the taste of the dishes is not bad, but the dishes are not enough, and the cost of a meal is about two or three taels; and finally there is the Zou Ji Restaurant, the cousin also knows that this is an ordinary small restaurant when he hears the name, and the decoration and furnishings are naturally not comparable with the first two, but the taste is better than the Zui Xiangju, and the cost is less, one or two silver can order a good table on the tableγ β
"That'...... Which one does my cousin think is suitable?" Chen Wenyong finished listening to Ye Yunshu's introduction, frowning, and couldn't make a choice for a while, "Cousin, don't worry, I'll pay for this table." β
"Naturally, you have to pay for it, and it's not me who marries my daughter-in-law. Ye Yunshu smiled, "You might as well go back and ask your uncle and aunt, discuss and discuss before making a decision." β
Chen Wenyong slapped his head, "It's me who is stupid." β
The Chen family finally chose the drunken fragrance residence in the middle, after all, it is very likely to become in-laws in the future, and it is better to choose a better place to pay attention to the first meeting.
The banquet was set by Lu and Ye Yunshu together, and they paid a deposit of two taels of silver.
The Lu family was a little distressed, and walked out of the door of the drunken Xiangju and said, "The expenses in this city are really much larger than our county, and this banquet is the best Zhenmanlou in our county, and it is only one or two silver to the sky." β
Today's two taels of silver are just a deposit, and the Lu family, who has always been used to saving, is naturally distressed.
Ye Yunshu took Lu's hand and asked with a smile: "Uncle, why don't you choose Zou Ji when you are so distressed?"
Lu shook his head, "That's not good, it's the first time I'll see you anyway, and I can't lose my courtesy." Besides, people's family backgrounds are better than ours, if I slack off and mess things up, your cousin won't complain about me. β
"Cousin won't. Ye Yunshu smiled helplessly, "Sister Xie Yao is not the kind of person who only has money in her eyes. β
"If you say yes, I will believe it. Lu Shi said, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yun Shu, do you think I should buy a bracelet or a hairpin?" Alas, my brain is not good, and I forgot about it when I left!"
Lu complained that he was forgetful, but he was glad that he remembered it at this time, if he didn't think about it until he met tomorrow, there would really be no place to make up for it.
Ye Yunshu also knows the customary rules of Tongchuan County, and if he looks at everything he likes, his mother-in-law will give a meeting gift in the future, and it is not a heavy gift, the hairpin pendant he carries with him will do.
She raised her eyes to look at the silver hairpin on Lu's head, and said, "Uncle, don't you have a silver hairpin on your head?" Just give this to Sister Xie Yao. β
"It's not okay, it's shabby. Lu said, raised his hand and touched the hairpin on the bun, and the smile on his face suddenly became sweet, "Besides, this hairpin was made for me by your uncle when he proposed marriage, and it was just like that." β
Ye Yunshu was caught off guard by a mouthful of dog food, and only said after a while: "Grandma always said that my uncle was unreliable when he was young, and I can't see that I still have such a mind and such a craft!
Lu's mind was far away, and he nodded with a smile, "Sort of, your uncle was quite muddy at that time, I always hesitated when I said that I would become a family in the future, he was still so confused, but he didn't think about it, he actually made this hairpin for me with his own hands, I think, he values me so much, he should also value the family in the future, so I should be." β
"Then Uncle did it?"
"It did. Lu nodded, "Although there have been unpleasant times over the years, your uncle really values family affection." β
Ye Yunshu nodded, and Lu smiled again, "What about your cousin, Yunshu, you have a good eye, accompany me to choose a hairpin." β
Ye Yunshu naturally nodded in agreement.
The next day, just after the hour, Xie Yao's mother and daughter arrived.
The two families sat at a table, all dressed in brand new clothes, and the bright colors made people's spirits look refreshed.
Ye Yunshu couldn't help but look down at her half-worn shirt and skirt, hesitating whether to take out Chen Yunniang's newly made clothes and wear them to support the faΓ§ade.
But then I thought about it, this is not my own view, why bother.
Ye Yunshu did not go to Zuixiangju for lunch, and despite the repeated invitations of Xie Niangzi and the Lu family, she still refused on the grounds that there was something wrong in Fuyufang.
She is just a middleman, since the two parties have already met, they will eat and talk about this kind of thing by themselves, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with her.
Ye Yunshu does have something to do, but it is not Fuyufang's business, but Xiao Mingting's birthday.
The second day of July is Xiao Mingting's fifteenth birthday, Ye Yunshu plans to try his failed birthday cake last year, milk is still easy to find, but tea seed oil is difficult to find, I heard the owner of the grocery store say that things are only available to rich and noble families, and they are all purchased from other prefectures and cities, and they will not go through scattered shops like them.
This made Ye Yunshu very difficult, and he didn't know a few rich people in Lizhou City, and the relationship was far from being able to come to the door to ask for oil.
After all, tea seed oil is a rarity in this era.
If you can't find tea seed oil, what kind of oil can you use instead?
