After the Republic of China

Chapter 908 Sentiment
Shao Yunshi lamented Yan Cuiling's ability to stir up troubles over the years.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Ximei was not an attentive person, so she just continued, "Later, I said that the side dish was not very spicy, but rather sour. It was probably a boy."

Shao Yunshi frowned, "Did you say that on purpose?"

Ximei was stunned by Shao Yunshi's question. She said, "Ah," and said, "I don't have one. Isn't she a sour girl? Did I remember it wrong?"

Shao Yunshi laughed and said, "That was Yan Cuiling's intention."

So sure? Ximei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's true. I looked at the old lady who looked a little unhappy at that time."

At that time, most people had multiple male heirs, and Shao Yunshi also hoped that her cousin would be able to get a male child at one stroke, so as to avoid some people having a big heart and causing chaos.

"Why did Yan Cuiling go to her cousin's house again?" Shao Yunshi knew that Yan Cuiling married a good family and had a small apartment in Shanghai.

"She came with Mr. Zhao that day. It seemed that she had something to do with business and wanted to talk to him." Ximei said without knowing it clearly.

I'm afraid it is, so Shao Yunshi nodded, "Ignore her. With the old aunt watching over her, she won't be able to make a big deal. If she doesn't behave, no one will spoil her anymore."

Ximei said 'hmm', and when she saw the young lady's expression was indifferent, she planned to get up, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Shao Yunshi knew that something was wrong with her like this, "Tell me, what's the matter with you? Don't say nothing."

Shao Yunshi knew Ximei's temperament very well and could see through it at a glance without making any mistakes.

After being pointed out by the young lady, Ximei gave up her struggle.

She worked hard, hesitated for a while, and then said a little shyly: "Young lady, my parents know about Jin Rong."

"Ah? So fast." Shao Yunshi was surprised and stopped.

Ximei blushed and stammered, "Yeah, it's not fast either."

"What are you talking about? Did something happen again?" Shao Yunshi felt that she had not been gone for a day or two, but for a month or two.

Ximei nodded, "Mother Chun and my sister-in-law have secured a match."

"Mother Chun? Who did she introduce for?" Shao Yunshi asked doubtfully.

Ximei shook her head, "I don't know the specifics. I just know that if I don't tell my mother the truth, I'm afraid this matter won't go away."

"What did your mother say?" Shao Yunshi was worried for her. After all, Wen's mother was a very traditional person.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ximei smiled and said, "My father thinks Jin Rong's work is decent, and Mr. Yan also said he is reliable."

Um? Do men and women think about things differently? Shao Yunshi was a little puzzled.

Ximei didn't pay attention to Shao Yunshi's expression and continued to say with a smile: "My mother listened to my father and said that when Jin Rong has time, we can meet each other."

"Then you'll meet at Yan's Mansion?" Shao Yunshi said so hard that she even frowned.

Ximei shook her head, "No, my brother has a dormitory, which is quite big. Dad said we should meet there. If it's suitable, we can show it to the master and the old lady."

Shao Yunshi was a little surprised, "Brother Xizi is really not going back to Suzhou?"

Wen Xizi has already opened a shop independently in Suzhou. The income there is almost entirely his own, and the business is quite good. It would be a pity not to go back.

Ximei smiled and said, "My brother gave the business in Suzhou to Yan Jiu."

Yan Jiu, Shao Yunshi thought that the child was indeed clever and naughty, and he was a workman. "Your brother's store still has a lot of goods, can Yan Jiu eat it?" The store house belongs to the old aunt. If Yan Jiu rents it, he will follow the old aunt's usual guidance. Promising family members have a temperament, so if they want to come to this area, they won't go too far.

However, the goods in the store belong to Brother Xizi, so it's hard to tell.

Ximei knew it in detail, "My brother gave part of the goods in the store on credit. We will wait until Yan Jiu has money."

"That's a lot on credit." Shao Yunshi smiled. After all, with Yan Jiu's family background, how much cash could he come up with.

Ximei smiled and said, "Not much."

"Oh, where did Yan Jiu make a fortune?"

"Yan Jiu's shop doesn't belong to him alone. Master Biao also invested some money." Ximei shook her head.

That's right, Shao Yunshi is quite happy to invest in Yan Biao. After all, financial independence is very important for a boy, especially for him with an embarrassing status.

With joy in his heart, Shao Yunshi's face became even warmer, "Now, Brother Xizi is working under my cousin?"

"Well, my brother went to the trading house and was in charge of loading and unloading goods at the dock." Ximei said happily.

"Brother Xizi is smart, literate, and knows how to advance and retreat. It's really good to go there." Shao Yunshi nodded.

Ximei said gratefully: "Thanks to the help of the master, now I have given my brother a house. My mother and father also have rooms, and we have all stayed there."

Shao Yunshi rarely has time to care about Ximei now. He never expected that so many things would happen when he wasn't paying attention.

She glanced at Ximei, whose face was full of joy, feeling a little disappointed and a little guilty. However, these are all good things, and she is happy for the Wen family.

"Brother Xizi is making a difference, and your mother and father will have hope." Shao Yunshi looked at Ximei with a smile.

Ximei nodded repeatedly, "My mother and father said that the lady should be thanked the most. If the lady hadn't taught my brother how to read, he wouldn't be doing the good things he is doing today."

Shao Yunshi shook her head in amusement, "I taught you, but why didn't you learn much?"

Ximei stuck out her tongue, "I'm a girl, it's useless to learn so much."

Shao Yunshi nodded her head helplessly, "You're just lazy. Brother Xizi earned everything by himself, and I don't deserve the credit."

When he saw Ximei and wanted to say something, Shao Yunshi stopped her and said, "We are all our own people, don't thank her here and there."

Naturally, Ximei would not meet Shao Yunshi, so after hearing this, she just smiled and ignored it.

There are a lot of things going on today, and for Ximei's own good, it is not convenient for her to know about many things.

Shao Yunshi gathered her thoughts, looked at Ximei who was cleaning up the house, and ordered: "I have nothing to do here. Xiaodong Cuixiang and others are at home. When you are done here, you should go back to my aunt to help me."

Ximei obeyed, stood up straight, and said, "I was afraid that the young lady would not be used to being served by others, so she specially asked me to come back."

If Xiaodong was the only one beside the young lady, Ximei would never leave, but Cuixiang was more attentive than herself, so Ximei had nothing to worry about.

In one case, the old lady only brought a few useful people with her mother. She went back to help, which could make the old lady feel more comfortable, and also make the young lady feel at ease.

Therefore, these days, she is usually at Yan Mansion.

Shao Yunshi knew Ximei's heart and advised her, "The most important thing now is my cousin's pregnancy. The people who need help at the Yan Mansion are all old, so only Ninth Sister is okay."

"But the old lady asked me to come back." Ximei was confused.

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "What can happen to me here? If you go over there, you can check it for everyone, especially the kitchen."
