Chapter 114 Blood Jade Bracelet
In the shop she opened before, there was a fish porridge imitating Mrs. Song's fish soup, which was made with crucian carp thick soup. If you want this kind of wild crucian carp slices to cook soup, it costs five yuan a catty, which is more expensive than serious big fish. Also expensive.

An Xu has already found a store, and the housing prices in Beijing are so high that she doesn't want to open several stores at once, but wants to combine fried chicken and hot pot in one store.

Moreover, the small shop of milk tea should also be embedded in it.

For fried chicken, we need some delicious and cheap porridge and bread to match.

If crucian carp slices were so cheap, the fish porridge that cost 25 yuan a bowl in the previous life could be the main product of the store.

The old man also got out of the car, recognized An Xu, and said with a smile: "So it's you girl, boss, what do you want for a little fish fillet. Girl, just take it all away."

Their father and son are often begging for life in the capital. Although they can often see nobles, there are very few nobles who are willing to deal with poor people like them.

In case of any big troubles that cannot be overcome, if the nobleman is willing to help and say a word, it may solve our catastrophe.

Thinking so, old man Zhou urged his son to pretend to be a fish.

An Xu could also see at this time that the old man was trying to please her, but he didn't mean to make people feel disgusted or have any bad intentions.

Isn't everyone doing it for a living?
Zhou Da is a filial man. After his father said so, he took out the grass net pressed under the wooden basin, and scooped fish into it spoon by spoon.

An Xu didn't stop him, just smiled and said: "Old man, I plan to open a food shop. I will use this little crucian carp frequently in the future. I can't keep asking for it for nothing. The ten yuan I just mentioned is not a pricing standard. You can decide on a price." , we will cooperate for a long time in the future.”

Hearing this, both father and son felt ecstasy in their hearts, but this kind of crucian carp slices can't be sold at a high price.

An Xu said that there really must be a pricing standard.

There is no unified standard for long-term cooperation, which will hurt the relationship.

Zhou Da thought for a while, and said: "In the future, I will catch such small fish for you, miss, but this kind of fish is not worth much after all, so how about one penny and two catties?"

One penny and two catties was calculated based on the price he sold fish fillets to feed chickens and ducks, which was a little higher.

After all, you used to buy as much as you had, but now that people want it decently, you need to spend some time thinking about it.

After hearing this, An Xu felt that this was a very affordable price in the capital city where prices were very high, so he agreed immediately, and gave them about [-] Wen for the current fish.

Old man Zhou insisted that it only cost ten Wen. An Xu thought for a while and said, "Well, I want some yuqian. When you go to the city tomorrow, just bring me a cloth bag."

Although old man Zhou still felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't speak any more.

The coachman took all the crucian carp in two grass nets and tied them to the shafts on both sides of the carriage.

Zhou Da was worried that the road would be scattered, so he put on two more straw nets.

This is what they made up by themselves, and it is not worth much money. As for the idea of ​​making net bags, they learned from the kind of bamboo tubes that have been very popular in small stalls in the capital these years.

An Xu got into the car and told the address of his shop, "We are not ready to open in the past two days, so there is no need to rush to deliver the little crucian carp. Just give as much as you can fish out every day."

Zhou Da agreed, and recited the address of the restaurant several times in his heart, and then sent the people and carriages away respectfully.

After catching up with his own ox cart again, old man Zhou said with a smile: "This is really a nobleman."

Zhou Da was amused: "That is to say, there is an extra business of tens of pennies every day."

Old man Zhou stared, "Isn't that okay? Before we put it away, these fish slices can only be sold for ten yuan."

The father and son said, walking home in a good mood.

On An Xu's side, he was also in a good mood, and he didn't dislike the occasional fishy smell coming from outside.

It's just that to make fish porridge, you still have to make a few large wooden barrels and a cart for pulling vegetables in the future.

With two bags of fish tied to both sides of the chariot, it entered the capital in such a ostentatious manner.

Within a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Shen, who had specially sent someone to watch An Xu, found out about this matter.

Although it was impossible to let such a woman into Shen's house, hearing that she was so disrespectful, Mrs. Shen was so angry that she broke a teacup.

The anger hadn't subsided yet, and when the grandson came back, he gave Mrs. Shen another air.

"What did you say?" She looked at the noble and gentle grandson standing on the ground, and said angrily, "Are you going to get engaged now?"

Shen Xiao nodded, with a pleading look on his face, "Grandmother, please believe in your grandson's eyes, Xu'er is a good woman, and she will definitely be filial to you with me in the future."

Mrs. Shen almost couldn't maintain the character setting, and after a while, she asked: "Are you sure, the door of our Duke's Mansion is so easy to enter? Engagement, I have nothing to say, but will your father agree?"

"Father has already agreed," Shen Xiao said, "I met my father when I just returned home, and my father said that I will make my own decisions about my marriage."

Old Mrs. Shen raised her hand to cover her chest, panting unevenly and said: "Forget it, forget it, I don't care, lest you blame me again in the future. It's just that this is a girl who I don't think is so suitable. You will always have a day in the future Living hard, remembering that day today, so I won't make it up to you."

"Grandmother." Shen Xiao was anxious, knelt down and said, "Grandson, I don't want to disobey your words, but I really like her."

"People in your family have the temperament of not hitting the south wall and not looking back." Mrs. Shen waved her hands, and said with a tired look: "Let Qin take care of it."

Shen Xiao didn't expect her grandmother to dislike Xu'er so much, but before this thought arose, she heard her grandmother say: "Take out the pair of jade bracelets that my mother-in-law gave me when I got engaged."

Mammy hesitated for a moment, answered yes, turned around and went inside, and quickly came out holding a red lacquer box.

"Young master, look, these are a pair of blood jade bracelets. The old lady gave it to the old lady, and the old lady gave it to your mother. After your mother left, the old lady has kept it until now." Lacquer the box, motioning Shen Xiao to watch it.

Shen Xiao felt guilty in his heart, he even speculated that his grandmother was malicious just now, and was moved. Grandmother obviously didn't like Xu'er, but now she was still willing to take out the family heirloom bracelet, she accepted Xu'er only for herself.

He always felt that he was different from those dudes, and he didn't want to make his elders so embarrassed today.

The nanny put the box in Shen Xiao's hands, and sighed: "Young master, don't blame the old slave for talking too much. Although the old lady doesn't like Miss An, she wants to teach her to adapt to life in a family like us. The old slave knows , Ms. An is very kind in your heart, but you have to admit that she was not raised in a duke's mansion, and she is completely ignorant of some customary rules. If you are so different, if you don't Can we get used to it, can we live together in the future?"

Shen Xiao unconsciously lowered his head, and his fingers holding the box were a little relaxed, but thinking of what Xu'er said, it would be bad for her if her grandmother taught her first.

At this moment, the feeling of embarrassment, incompetence, and fatigue surged in my heart.

However, when he first met four years ago, he had already been tempted by this calm and intelligent girl.

Even if there are all kinds of difficulties, he is willing to overcome them.

Seeing that he left with the blood jade bracelet after all, the disappointment in Mrs. Shen's heart overwhelmed everything else. The child she had worked so hard to teach was softer than his father.

Do all the men in the Shen family have this problem?
In the middle of the night, An Xu was awakened by a slight clicking sound. She sat up immediately, and was relieved when she saw a figure walking around the screen.

"Master Shen, how long has it been since you acted like a gentleman on the beam." She asked, but the life around her neck still did not loosen.

Shen Xiao smiled and said, "I can't remember, is it four years or five years?"

An Xu felt that his body was relaxed, and asked involuntarily: "What's the matter, you who work well and behaved, you came here in the middle of the night?"

Shen Xiao didn't answer right away, but just asked, "Have you got dressed yet?"

An Xu: "Do you think I'm a spider? I have eight hands."

Shen Xiao turned around and went to the outside room, An Yu put down the quilt, picked up the underwear on the shelf beside the bed, put it on in twos and twos, pulled on the slippers and went to the outside room.

Shen Xiao didn't notice it just now, but when he saw her coming out wearing the clothes that were hanging on the rack just now, he couldn't help feeling hot in his ears, and asked, "Why aren't you wearing a coat?"

An Xu likes that he understands everything, but still looks very old-fashioned. Instead of sitting on the chair next to him, he lay sideways in his arms and said, "This is my coat."

The warmth and softness in the arms, but also the down-to-earth sense of weight, prevented Shen Xiao from doing what he wanted to do, so he unconsciously pulled his arms together.

He smiled and said, "I want you to wear more clothes."

"Hypocrisy," An Xu felt something hard in his waist, and looked at Shen Xiao, "What are you doing looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Shen Xiao didn't understand her hint at all, suddenly remembered, and took out a red lacquered wood box exuding a natural wood fragrance from his waist.

"Grandma gave it to you." He put it in An Xu's hand.

An Xu: I think too much.

She took it and opened the lid of the box. There was no light in the room, only the white moonlight coming from the window. In the dark room, the box clearly emitted a faint red light.

This red light is not glaring at all, it has the softness of pearl light.

"What is this?" An Xu raised his head.

Shen Xiao kissed her forehead and said with a smile: "The Shen family has been passed on to the daughter-in-law for generations. My grandmother agrees to make an engagement for us first. It's just that she is old and has no energy to deal with it. Let my stepmother take over this matter. But you Don't worry, I will send someone to help."

The old lady of the Shen family agreed with them?

is this real?
Is she really a villain's heart and a gentleman's clothes?
