The eldest married as a merchant's wife

Chapter 17 Spring Stream Spring Play (3)
The affairs of the family were all handed over to the old lady and the second room. Zhou felt depressed. During pregnancy, she accidentally drank the water, which caused the root cause of the disease.The young master was born in poor health, and has been raised in the back house all these years.He is half a year older than Mei Xiaoting, with the same phoenix eyes, high nose and thin chin, but looks paler, clearer and more elegant.

Seeing her master coming, Xiuhe quickly bowed to the embroiderers.Aunt Nanyang stepped forward with her plump hips, and saw Xiuhe smirked: "Oh, I remember you. I saw you on the street the other day, and you were with him. He supported you and didn't let you You fell down. Is he your man? Also, the embroidery you wore that day was so beautiful, I asked you to come in and help me pick it the next day. "

She speaks Chinese badly, she doesn't turn where she should, and turns when she shouldn't, but she loves to speak without pause.Bai Run's finger pointed at Xiuhe, then at Gengwu, with a charming and pleasant voice.

Xiuhe couldn't help but look up at Geng Wu, Geng Wu was also looking at her, and the two of them looked at each other for a while, and she saw the unknown gleam in his eyes, and she hated him again—it must be him again. I thought of something I shouldn't have thought of.

Xiuhe glared at Geng Wu in embarrassment, bowed her head slightly: "My aunt misunderstood, she was delivering wine for father that day, and almost slipped and fell on the road."

The young master Mei Xiaoyi heard the words and looked up at Xiuhe, who hurriedly bowed to him again.

In Xiuhe's memory, every time she followed her father to the Mei family compound to deliver wine, she would always see the young master with a thin blanket on his lap, sitting quietly in the courtyard and meditating.It is always rainy in April in the south of the Yangtze River. The light in the well was gray and gloomy that day. He was always sitting quietly in the wheelchair alone. When she walked by him, his expression did not change.The handsome figure cast a shade under the eaves, it looked like a quiet ancient painting, with a ghostly aura.Xiuhe has been afraid of the young master since she was a child.

"Let's go, it's time for the show to begin." Wan Chun tugged on Xiu He's sleeve, feeling unhappy.She felt that she was deceived by Xiuhe, she just said a few days ago that she had nothing to do with Master Gengwu, why are the two of them still so close on the street.

Mei Xiaoyi and Geng Wu were about the same age, they hugged each other as a salute.

Then the adults of the Mei family seemed to see Geng Wu suddenly, and greeted Geng Wu.

"It's a big table, so why not set up an extra seat? Although he came here uninvited, old Mrs. Geng has to give me the face of the past. If it's not possible, just give up the old man's position to my nephew!" Mei Jingzhai laughed. He stared at the registered steward with a condescending tone, like a reward, like a credit.

"This..." The steward was embarrassed, and looked at Geng Wu with suspicion.

When the imperial court promulgated the sea ban, it was the Mei family who took the lead in proposing to launch a joint protest of the chamber of commerce.The merchants in Fucheng have eaten sea food for hundreds of years, and no one is willing to cut off this road unless they are forced to.Old Mr. Geng was kind-hearted, and he couldn't resist the persuasion of hundreds of merchants, so he finally agreed.However, on the day of the petition at the pier, the Mei family did not participate because of a temporary emergency.

Something happened to Geng's family.The imperial court didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so they only took the heads of a few chambers of commerce who were in charge, and most of the rest of the merchants settled down hastily.The Mei family had a platform in the imperial court, and Mrs. Geng came to ask for help several times in person dragging his sick body, but the Mei family closed the door to thank guests for half a month.Old Mr. Geng watched his two eldest grandsons being stabbed to death, and finally he couldn't get up and went back to the west.However, the Mei family has since ascended the top spot in the chamber of commerce, and has become the number one old name in Fucheng.

Geng Wu stared at Xiuhe, Xiuhe's hand was being held in that aunt's hand, her cheeks were sideways, her rosy lips were smiling, her eyes were shining under the night, as if she didn't hear what was said here.

Geng Wu clasped his hands and made a bow, and said neither arrogant nor humble: "You don't have to bother uncle, the younger generation can just sit on the bench below." As he spoke, he brushed past Xiuhe's side and walked in theater.
