The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 62
A day later, Xiaomi got up early and said that he would go to the city to buy some daily necessities, so Boss Lu got a car and planned to accompany his sister.Although the journey was fairly peaceful, the girl could not be allowed to go by herself, what if she ran into a villain.

The second son Lu wandered around the carriage, blushing and hesitated for a while, finally pulled the girl and said, "Xiaomi, I dreamed of eating candied fruit last night, can you buy me two cans?"

Seeing his brother cautiously looking at him, Xiaomi was so obedient as a big dog, so he could only nod his head weakly, "Don't worry, I will buy it back."

"Great, little sister, Xiao'e likes to eat Huang Xing'er and peaches, don't forget!"

After all, Lu Er Er happily ran away, leaving Xiaomi behind, which was really funny and angry.

My dear brother, can we be more careful, even a lie is not perfect, I said earlier that I dreamed of eating candied fruit, but in a blink of an eye the real purpose was revealed...

Although Boss Lu was busy setting up the car, he listened for most of the time, and hurriedly greeted his sister with a smile, "Xiaomi, let's go."

"Hey!"

With the straw basket on his arm, Xiaomi jumped onto the shaft of the cart.Along the way, the two brothers and sisters were blowing the wind and admiring the spring scenery, and entered the city very smoothly.

Mrs. Zheng was a little anxious these two days. She couldn't eat and sleep well. There was no other reason. After the little steward broke the news to the Lu family that day, the Lu family didn't take any action.

Could it be that the Lu family didn't understand their hints, after all, the girl from the Lu family is too young for her age.Or maybe the Lu family doesn't think that their Chen family is a merchant at all, that would be too annoying, their Chen family hasn't disliked the poverty of the Lu family yet!
But shopkeeper Chen was not in a hurry, he sat on the chair and drank tea, very leisurely and comfortable.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't help being annoyed, she snatched his teacup and put it aside heavily, shouting, "Master! You're just talking, what does the Lu family mean?"

"Oh, what are you in a hurry for?" Shopkeeper Chen pulled his wife to sit down, and comforted him, "It's been so many years, and you still haven't changed your temper. Marriage of children is a big deal in a family, not to mention that Fusheng is from the Lu family. The eldest son, if he wants to marry a daughter-in-law to be the mistress of the Lu family, it is right for the Lu family to discuss it for a few more days."

"I... I know there's no need to rush this matter, but our daughter is already eighteen, and I'm afraid that if I miss the Lu family, there won't be such a good family."

Mrs. Zheng tore off the veil, poured tea and poured it down impatiently, and then felt better, "In the past few days, I have asked people to go to the street to inquire, and they all said that Miss Lu has some skills, and is very friendly to her neighbors. Taking care of her is a kind-hearted person. Our daughter is married to the Lu family, and there is no mother-in-law, as long as she doesn't argue with her sister-in-law, life will be fine."

Shopkeeper Chen sounded funny, but counting the days, it is true that the Lu family should take some action. Could it be that they really look down on their merchants from the Chen family...

Just when the old couple was suspicious of each other, the porter suddenly came to report, "Master, madam, Lao Xiongling, the Lu family boss and the girl are visiting."

"What?" The old couple of the Chen family were overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly shouted, "Please, please!"

The Chen family is not a deep house, but a threshold. Xiaomi crossed over and saw the old shopkeeper Chen and his wife, so he saluted with his elder brother and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, long time no see. How are you?"

"Okay, okay, I was still thinking about going to Laoxiongling, and I didn't want you brothers and sisters to come."

Shopkeeper Chen smiled like an Amitabha, and finally gave way to Mrs. Zheng behind him, "This is my old lady."

Xiaomi hurriedly saluted again, "Hello aunt, the day before yesterday my elder brother went back and said that he was causing trouble for aunt, and even disturbed aunt for a meal, which made aunt tired. I am really sorry. It happened that I went to the city to buy today, so I was brave enough Here I am, I brought a few homemade dim sums for my aunt, and I thank my aunt for taking care of my eldest brother."

"Oh, you kid is too polite. It's just a meal, and it's not worth anything. Fusheng is a good guy, and he helps Uncle Chen a lot on weekdays."

Mrs. Zheng has looked at Xiaomi from head to toe many times. The fourteen-year-old girl is in her youthful time. Her black hair is neatly combed. There is a silver-winged butterfly on each side. She has fair skin and big eyes. Look at how delicate and lovely she is, with her aqua blue dress adding a touch of elegance.

Listening to her talk now, she is more sensible and straightforward, so I like it even more.

The old lady took Xiaomi's hand and walked into the house, "My family is welcome, come in and sit down."

Everyone sat down among the guests and hosts, and Xiaomi brought snacks, and said a few interesting things about the mountain, which made Mrs. Zheng laugh even more.On the other hand, Boss Lu sat in a well-behaved manner, looked at his younger sister from time to time, and smiled dotingly and proudly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with a younger sister who came out to deal with her.

This made Mrs. Zheng even more satisfied, and shopkeeper Chen naturally had nothing to pick and choose.

Seeing this, Xiaomi smiled and said why he came here, "Auntie, the weather is getting hotter and hotter recently. I plan to make two new dresses, but I don't know what styles are popular in the city. I heard that there is an older sister in my family. I am very good at needlework, I wonder if I can meet and ask for a few words?"

Hearing what my sister said, Boss Lu's heart skipped a beat. I usually entrust the sewing at home to the aunts in the village. Why is my sister who is not good at sewing suddenly interested?

However, Xiaomi didn't seem to see his brother's puzzled look, and looked at the second elder of the Chen family with a smile.

It was the man who was about to see his daughter, and the two elders of the Chen family looked at each other and nodded.First of all, getting married is not a matter of two young children, it can be described as the fusion of two families. Looking at each other, it is better than a blind marriage. If there are conflicts after marriage, the one who suffers will definitely be the woman.Secondly, my daughter is absolutely wonderful, and she will never let others pick out her faults.

"Okay," Mrs. Zheng answered without a word, and then told the maid beside her, "Please ask Miss Lu to go to the backyard and tell Yuexian to take good care of her."

"Yes, ma'am."

The servant girl agreed, and respectfully led Xiaomi to the backyard.Boss Lu was a little flustered, and wanted to ask his sister a few words, but was stopped by shopkeeper Chen and asked how many days before he could pick another crop of vegetables.

Xiaomi faintly heard it, a little funny and helpless. My elder brother is good at everything, but he is soft-tempered. It would be the best if Miss Chen is independent and reasonable. what.

Thinking in this way, she followed the servant girl around the corner door and entered the backyard.It was sultry and hot in early summer, and the windows of the main house in the backyard were all open, and the sun was shining, just shining on the girl at the table in the window.The girl was wearing an apricot-colored double-breasted shirt, her side face was soft and beautiful, and a pearl hairpin was inserted into her hair. She was probably worried about something at the moment, her brows were slightly frowned, and people couldn't help adding a little bit of it when they saw it. pity.

"Miss!"

The servant girl called out, causing the girl to turn her head and look over, and when she saw a stranger, she quickly got up.

The little maid ran forward and said something in a low voice, the girl turned around and disappeared, and soon the door of the main room opened.

"Miss Lu, the servant girl is ignorant and neglected."

"No, Sister Chen is being polite, but I came here to bother you."

After seeing the ceremony, Xiaomi finally entered the door together.

Chen Yuexian ordered the servant girl to prepare tea and snacks, and Xiaomi took the opportunity to glance around the room.

The Chen family lives in a prosperous life, but the girl's boudoir is very simple.In addition to the necessary tables and chairs, there are two bookshelves against the wall. Books of different sizes, old and new, are placed together. In the middle of the room is a Duobao Pavilion. There are vases and small and exquisite wooden boxes on the pavilion. This type separates the inner and outer chambers.

There was a sewing basket on the rug under the window, and there was a half-sewn skirt in it. On the table beside it, there were paper, ink, brush and inkstone. Most of the records in the two-page book were silver, which must be the account books of the cloth shop. .

This was a surprise to Xiaomi. Even though Dayuan did not practice "Women are virtuous without talent", the status of women is much worse than that of men.The Chen family can let the girl read and practice calligraphy, and even help with accounting, which shows that the shopkeeper and his wife are open-minded, and Miss Chen is also smart.

Chen Yuexian quickly tidied up the things on the table, then poured tea for Xiaomi himself, Xiaomi thanked him, and before the two sat down to talk, a little maid came in outside the door and asked with a smile, "Miss, the snacks at home are not fresh anymore , how about slaves go out and buy two things?"

Chen Yuexian gave the little maid a reproachful look, and said with a smile, "You guys must have cheated last night and ate up all the dim sum. Miss Lu is making fun of her now, hurry up and buy it!"

"Yes, Miss." The little maid blushed, turned around and hurried to Zhang Luo.

Chen Yuexian pushed the teacup to Xiaomi's hand, with an apologetic expression on her face, "Miss Lu laughed, all the maids in my yard have followed me since childhood, so it is inevitable that they are a bit unruly."

"No, Sister Chen is overthinking. My second elder brother and two younger brothers are all greedy. They usually don't need to find someone when they come to dinner. They come back after smelling the scent."

What Xiaomi said was interesting, Chen Yuexian couldn't help but also laughed.

"I also often hear my father mention how smart Miss Lu is, but I have never had the chance to meet her. Today, I finally met her. It really couldn't be better."

"Sister Chen, I'm a few years younger than you, why don't you call me Xiaomi, everyone in my family calls me that, calling me Miss Lu is too natural."

"Okay, then you can also call me Sister Yuexian."

In addition to being busy making money, Xiaomi is usually taking care of the young and old in the family. He has no chance at all, and he doesn't have such a suitable girl of the same age to talk to.Chen Yuexian also stayed in the back house all day, and guessed a little about Xiaomi's intentions, so naturally he was more enthusiastic.

After talking about the style of clothes, the two talked about cooking, and after talking about cooking, they talked about accounting, and the more they talked, the more they hit it off.If Mrs. Zheng in the front yard hadn't seen Xiaomi not coming back for a long time and sent someone to inquire, the two of them would not know how long they would have talked.

Xiaomi was afraid that his elder brother would be impatient, so he got up and said goodbye.

"Sister Yuexian, it's great to know you. I will come to the city again sometime, and I will definitely come to bother you again."

"Me too, sister Xiaomi must come here often."

Chen Yuexian got up to send Xiaomi off, the two held hands, turned around at the second gate, Xiaomi turned around, thought for a while and said, "Sister Yuexian, don't send me off, there may be another chance in the future, we want to get along forever."

Chen Yuexian blushed, hesitated for a moment, and grabbed Xiaomi's hand, "Sister Xiaomi, you...you probably know my parents' plans, right?"
