Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 74
Thinking of the madam's stern and introverted manner, it would not be surprising if she is indeed the owner of the Fumanlou restaurant.

Axiu let out a breath, and asked Li Xin in a daze, "Then, didn't we... meet a nobleman just now?"

"We won't have much interaction with Mrs. Shen. You are so submissive, not like the usual Axiu." Li Xin brought tea to her, "What are you thinking, drink tea."

Axiu just took a sip of the tea. After pressing the hot tea, she felt relieved, and said with a long and comfortable sigh: "If that lady is really Mrs. Shen, why did she come to the market? Even if it is When you come to the market, don’t the wives of rich families have a lot of maids and women accompanying them when they go out?”

Li Xin frowned, "Who did you listen to?" Exaggerating this extravagant atmosphere with Axiu, what if Axiu's words are lost?No matter how smart and sensible Axiu is, she hasn't experienced catastrophe. She is still young, so she can easily yearn for the fancy world described by others. It will be even worse if she loses her heart.

After listening to Li Xin's question, Axiu replied: "Sister Haitang said that, she said that the Shen family's aunt was followed by many maids when she went out. The bearers carried the sedan chair, and the servants cleared the way. Not to mention how grand it is!"

Axiu was talking vigorously, but when she turned her head, she saw that her sister-in-law's expression was not very good, so she restrained herself a little, and said in a low voice, "I know that Sister Haitang must be exaggerating too...but Mrs. Shen should be higher than the aunt of the Shen family. Quite a lot, right? How could you be so poor, with only two wives and one maid beside you..."

"These have nothing to do with us. What do you want to do here?" Li Xin said lightly. Seeing that Axiu was a little unconvinced, she ignored her and said to Guan Wen, "Isn't Cousin Changhui here to run errands?" Is it? Can you see others?"

Guan Wen and Guan Wu didn't care what their sister-in-law said, after all, Mrs. Shen didn't meet them face to face.The two were whispering about the marriage of the fourth child, and when they heard Li Xin's question, they looked up at the same time. After searching the lobby on the second floor, Guan Wen replied, "I didn't see him, he must be busy somewhere."

Li Xin nodded, "Let's come to the place where he works for dinner, it's better to say hello to him."

After waiting for a while, the dishes came up. Three meat dishes, two vegetables and one soup, the dishes are brightly colored, full of color, aroma and taste, and like other restaurants, there are few big dishes on the plate. The bowl was well filled.

The second brother smiled and said: "The guest officials are slow to use. If there is something to do, just call for an order!"

Li Xin thanked, "Thank you, little brother."

After scooping up the rice and chopsticks, Li Xin's sister-in-law and sister-in-law three were better, after all, they didn't feel very hungry after breakfast, and Axiu yelled that she was hungry because she just wanted to come to the restaurant earlier.Guan Wen and Guan Wu were starving. The men already had a large appetite, so they ate quickly. Li Xin and the others were still picking up the first bowl of rice. The two of them had already eaten two bowls and began to serve the third bowl.

While scooping up the rice, Guan Wu said with emotion: "It's not easy to eat a meal of white rice..."

"Vegetable pancakes and steamed buns are enough, but they are still not as good as white rice." Axiu drank half a bowl of soup carefully, licked the soup stains on the corner of her mouth and sighed: "I don't know when I will be able to eat rice every day." Eat a bowl of white rice..."

"Fifth Sister will marry a capable husband-in-law..."

A-mei said in an extremely low voice, but no matter how low she put it, she still couldn't escape A-xiu's ears. She rubbed A-mei's face with both hands and scolded with a smile: "You girl, when did you learn to tease your fifth sister and me?"

"She took revenge on you. Who told you to tease her so much today?"

Li Xin squinted her eyes, she was happy to see such a sister, it would be even better if she could let go of her temperament slowly.

Axiu said angrily: "What am I teasing her for? Oh, did she see that scholar?" She pretended to be sad and said, "My sister is getting old too, I don't know what my sister thinks, hey..."

Seeing that she was serious about acting, Li Xin didn't bother to expose her. He drank two mouthfuls of soup and put down his chopsticks. Seeing that the two brothers on the opposite side were still eating happily, the expressions on their faces were very enjoyable, and he also felt relieved.

Although Fumanlou dishes are more complicated than farm side dishes, many flavors are still undeveloped.Li Xin didn't think the meal was delicious, but it was much better than the three daily meals that were carefully prepared at Guan's house.

After all, it's rare to be able to enjoy it so much once, without being talked about by my in-laws, father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law and sixth brother.Just let her be self-willed for a while, if her father-in-law asks about it after she goes back, tell the truth, she is a little irritable today, and even wants to see what her father-in-law said.

Turning his eyes to look at the people eating around him, a shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and after a while, the shadow flickered back again. He looked at the table of Li Xin and Guan Wen in surprise, and after confirming again and again, he said pleasantly: "Big Biao Brother, cousin, you..."

Li Xin laughed, "Just now your eldest cousin was looking around for you to see if you were there, but now you came out by yourself."

Guan Wen put down the bowl and said, "Changhui, are you busy?"

"Well, I'm going to work. There are too many people at the moment, so I can't be busy." Zhao Changhui still had a scarf on his arm, dressed in a decent and not sloppy mistress's attire, and held a tray in his left hand, "Today is On the day of the rush, big cousin, you are here to sell things in the market, right? But how can you eat here, it costs so much, if you knew it, you would go to my house."

"Then don't we have to bother my aunt and uncle? Let's go back after we have a meal and rest."

Li Xin explained, and said, "Big cousin, if you're busy, go ahead, let's talk later if you have time."

Guan Wen also said: "Workmanship is important, don't let the shopkeeper think you are lazy and slippery. Go quickly."

Zhao Changhui responded, and called Guan Wu "Second Cousin". When it was his turn to say hello to Axiu and Amei, he suddenly blushed again, smiled shyly and said, "Axiu, Amei, I Get busy first."

Axiu called "Big Cousin", nodded and said, "Big Cousin, go get busy, don't worry about us."

A-mei also put down the frolic with A-Xiu, nodded along, and only called "Big Cousin".

As soon as Zhao Changhui met Axiu's gaze, his whole face turned red, he stammered "Hey" twice, took a step back, walked out again, and looked a little bit in the same hands Feet, very funny.

Li Xin also wanted to say that Zhao Changhui was very shy when he met her for the first time, but he has been with Axiu and Amei since childhood, so how could he be shy?Could it be that this eldest cousin is like this in front of young women?It's too reserved.

Axiu fiddled with the few vegetable leaves left on the vegetable dish in boredom, and muttered to Li Xin, "Big cousin is still so shy, every time he sees me and Amei, he blushes, I don't know why he is so shy Jiner. He is already at this age, if he is still like this, how will he marry a wife in the future? My aunt has whispered to me several times, and she is also very worried. "

His aunt Guan Wen was talking about this with Axiu?

No way... Guan Wen doesn't look like a woman without restraint, how could he tell his niece about such a thing?

unless……

Li Xin opened her mouth "ah", and Axiu asked inexplicably, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's okay." Li Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Let your elder brother and second brother eat slowly, no one will fight with them."

Guan Wen laughed and said, "It's almost eaten, don't waste it, I still have a few shredded pork and chew it, sit here and wait for the meeting later."

Li Xin had no objection, and looked at Axiu hesitantly. Seeing her leaning over to say something to Amei, her face was smiling and sad for a while, and her eyes were slightly bulging as if she was telling Amei something. nod.

Axiu's face showed no concern for Zhao Changhui whom she just met.

If Guan Wen's aunt had this idea, it would probably fail.

It is very common for cousins ​​to get married in such a social background. Li Xin does not have an aunt. If she did, she would definitely disagree with Liu's asking her to marry her aunt's son. After all, she has received so many years of modern education. I can't get over that hurdle in my heart.

But others, she can't control.

It is a standard for modern people that collateral blood relatives within three generations cannot be combined into a husband and wife, which is not suitable for ancient times.She cannot use her own standards to regulate others.What's more, even if cousins ​​get married, it doesn't necessarily mean that a fool is born.

Some people say that the children born to close relatives are either mentally retarded or geniuses. Li Xin always feels that this is a bit of a generalization.In modern times, the United Kingdom allows cousins ​​to marry, and Hong Kong has followed this custom and also allows cousins ​​to marry.It can only be said that offspring born to close relatives are more likely to suffer from genetic diseases, and it is not [-]% likely to have genetic diseases.Some are even geniuses.Hitler and Einstein are examples.For a while, it was rumored that Saddam Hussein was also a product of inbreeding.

But in this feudal ancient times, how normal is it for cousins ​​to get married?Not to mention the far ones, but the closest ones, aren't Xing'er and her dead man also cousins?The son I gave birth to, Xiaokang, is only weaker, and there is no major problem.

Tradition is like this, if she comes forward to object, she might attract people's hatred.The first one who would hate her to death would be his aunt Guan Wen—if his aunt Guan Wen had the idea of ​​letting his son marry his niece.

If she said something like "cousins ​​get married, they will give birth to idiots and deformed children", she would be waiting to be dismissed by the Guan family.

As long as Axiu didn't have that kind of intention towards Zhao Changhui, Li Xin was very relieved.

It can be seen that Zhao Changhui, who shuttles back and forth in the lobby with a smile on his face——

This cousin is a hardworking man, similar in temperament to Guan Wu, honest and honest, but also related to the cleverness in his whole body, the favor of the shopkeeper in a restaurant like Fumanlou is enough to see his future future Great, not a person who lives at the bottom for a long time.

It's just that he's a little smaller in stature.Girls like tall and strong men, or the kind of white-faced scholars with good looks, and they will not even leak a wink when they estimate him like this.

He is probably 20 years old this year, and he hasn't said anything about his marriage either because he can't talk about it, or he looks down on others, or even has his own heart.

Look at Zhao Changhui's reaction when facing Axiu, and his mother's whispering to Axiu in private, it can be seen that Zhao Changhui hasn't talked about his marriage yet.

Li Xin rubbed his teacup and bowed his head in silence, thinking in his heart, he should take advantage of the time to go back to his mother's house and ask her mother how the things she entrusted her to inquire about.Regardless of whether the Zhao family meant it that way, she couldn't really wait until the day when Guan Wen's aunt came to propose marriage.

Although I felt sorry for the Zhao family, Li Xin didn't want to see possible tragedies in the future - after all, children born to close relatives were more likely to suffer from genetic diseases.

Turn passive into active, let's quickly find a good husband for Axiu.
