Lucky not to forget

Chapter 16
Near noon, there were fewer guests, and the two of them had time to sit down and have a rest.Mrs. Zhang looked at her niece and daughter's tender face, and asked cautiously, "Sister Chun, are you secretly in love with Mr. Pei?"

Don't expect to be asked by my aunt suddenly, my heart beat like thunder, and I panicked, "What's wrong with my aunt, how can I like him, even though he is good in every way, after all, he is a man with a family, and the rules of the ancestors are true." Don’t dare to forget, never dare to have such thoughts.”

Mrs. Zhang hesitated, "But I always feel that you are affectionate in private. Mr. Pei is so considerate to you. Based on his status, it is really difficult for him to please you in every possible way."

Wuwang Duzui turned around, his head was in a mess, Pei Zhen's face was always in front of his eyes, he frowned and smiled, the mountains and rivers in his eyes seemed to be burned in her heart, and she couldn't get rid of them.It was weird to think about it, and she thought to herself, could it be that she really fell in love with him?How could it be? Isn't it the charter that she likes in her heart? Maybe she owes Pei Zhen too much love, so it's just because she feels sorry.

Mrs. Zhang saw her tangled look, and sighed, "If there wasn't that family rule, would you really be willing to follow him? In fact, in our current situation, there is no money to pick others. If you really want to, Then I told your uncle, I am very happy to look after Mr. Pei, even if I become his concubine, he will never treat you badly."

"Auntie, I don't want to work with others." Wu Wang said, "You and Uncle are fine, we share weal and woe, and there are no such troublesome things."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "Your family really doesn't understand. We depend on each other now because we have suffered hardships. Your uncle was not so honest in the past. Erye Hong, the God of Wealth, has been making a splash all day long. He was fascinated by Goulan courtyard The girl in the house also raised a foreign house privately. But which one of the rich families is not like this, let alone your parents, so good, your father still has a concubine and a roommate."

Don Wang bowed his head and fiddled with the hemp rope in his hand. In his memory, there were two aunts, but they didn't go out often, and they didn't come out often in their own yard. Her mother was a peaceful person, and she didn't ask them on weekdays. All is well.Now that I think about it, my mother is broad-minded because she is sure that my father's heart is only on her. If he spoils his concubine and kills his wife, the house will definitely not be peaceful. On the contrary, those two aunts must be more bitter than Huanglian. Husband, no children, what else is there in this life!Then I remembered the regulations again, and my heart felt a little sweet, so I said to my aunt coyly, "Today, brother Zhang told me that he was going back to his adoptive mother, and asked someone to propose marriage."

When Mrs. Zhang heard the words, her face was also indifferent, and she just said, "Let's wait and see. Brother Cheng is not safe now. He doesn't know what will happen in the future. It's not good to accept it now. Besides, I think he is different from before." Well, if it were another man, someone who dared to do this to the girl he was going to marry would have made a fool of himself a long time ago, but he didn't seem to have seen it, and he didn't know what benefit Mr. Pei gave him, thank you very much .”

Wuwang heard Mrs. Zhang say this, although he was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. A big girl's family is arguing to get married, and it is always bad for others to see. In fact, she is not afraid of suffering according to the regulations. She was willing to live with him when she was in the thatched cottage, but now that she is half the master, she caused a rift between her aunts.

Mrs. Zhang went to the counter and counted the income from the whole morning in detail. The gross account actually had three or two taels of silver. With an income of five or six renminbi, if you farm the land, the tenants will still be short-lived by the end of the year. If you knew this, you should have come to the city earlier."

Wu Wang said in response, thinking to himself, if I didn't meet Pei Zhen earlier, how could it be easy to gain a foothold in the city, not even bones left.

At this time, two people dressed as waiters brought food boxes in and sang, "Master Defeng Louzhen has added food to Mrs. Liu's family!"

Mrs. Zhang led them to the back hall, and only listened to the two people serving the dishes and reporting the names of the dishes, "Braised snow pig, dry roasted fish, three delicacies crispy rice, five snake soup, dry fried prawns, cabbage in milk soup. , fish-flavored shredded pork, and tremella, lotus seeds, and red dates soup for the young lady, the master said that this soup nourishes yin and nourishes the lungs, and told the young lady to drink it."

Don't hope to laugh or cry, when the two waiters came out, they hurriedly took the broken silver to reward, the two of them raised their hands and said, "I don't dare, the master said that as long as the girl drinks the soup, he will have a reward on his own. It is absolutely forbidden to take money from the lady’s wife. Invite the girl to eat, and the younger ones will watch outside, and when the meal is finished, the younger ones will collect the bowls and chopsticks before leaving.”

Wuwang nodded and entered the inner hall. Mrs. Zhang was staring at a table of food in a daze, and murmured, "This is a lot, just the two of us can eat it all, how can we finish it! You are so worried, Mr. Pei is usually like this." What about food, don’t you want to spend three or five taels after a meal! If you can’t finish eating, you will throw it away, it’s really burning money!” While taking three dishes from his own sea bowl and putting them in the cupboard, he said, "Let's save some to eat at night, and later put it in a bucket and hang it in the well, for fear that it will go bad at night."

Wu Wang said with a wry smile, "Auntie! It's so embarrassing to be seen, and you can't finish eating and walk around!"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Anyway, it's for us to eat. If you're afraid of embarrassment, you will say that I am a huge amount. I don't want to find my husband's family. I am not afraid that people will say that I am a foodie. But the uncle of the Pei family is afraid that he will like it when he sees that the bowl is empty. It's over!"

Wuwang said to Rao, "Good aunt, don't make fun of me anymore, eat quickly, and go to business after eating."

The meal was rich, and the wombat dish in milk soup was very good. I hope I ate a few more chopsticks with the rice, Zhang said, "It's still Mr. Pei's face! Amitabha, actually told our sister to eat half a bowl more, It's amazing!"

The two waiters guessed that they had finished eating, so they came in to clean up, looked at half of the white fungus soup in the cup and said with a sad face, "My girl, if you don't drink the soup, how can we explain it when we go back!"

Wuwang said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I really can't drink it, so I might as well pour it down, and you can say that I drank it when you go back, is that okay?"

The two waiters thought about it for a long time, poured out half of it carefully, covered the lid, put it in the food box, bowed again, bowed and walked out, and then they walked to the door, and they couldn't help being surprised when they saw a person getting off the sedan chair. , greeted the ceremony respectfully, and shouted, "Greetings to Grandma."

Mrs. Zhang and Wu Wang's heart skipped a beat, the secret thought was bad, Grandma Zhen came to the door, and no matter why she came, the person who came must be bad.Mrs. Zhang winked at Wu Wang, wanting to tell her to avoid her, but Wu Wang looked calm and showed no intention of avoiding her, she did not do anything shameful, if she avoided it, it would be a mistake!
Grandma Zhen is really a beauty. She looks about eighteen or nineteen years old. She wears a long gown with diameter gauze wrapped around branches and saw lotus and plain weave. She holds a silk fan in her hand, rouge on her lips, and Koudan on her fingertips. In front of the door, there is nothing glamorous.She looked up at the plaque on the door frame, with neither joy nor sadness on her face, she only whispered, "Li Xuezhai, it really is a good name, worthy of a wonderful person like a girl."

Wuwang welcomed her and the two maids in, and served the tea ceremony, "I don't know that Grandma Zhen is here, so she is far away to welcome her."

Sister Su saw that the girl had bright eyes and bright teeth, and the plain clothes were slender, she really had a good appearance, her heart sank.Originally, I wanted to see what the man on the top of Mr. Zhen's heart looked like. He was just as beautiful as a peach and plum, and he himself would not be compared. Who knows that he is a fairy-like figure. He doesn't have a head jewelry on his body, but has black hair. Ruyun, with fair skin and bright red sandalwood mouth, compared with her, the rouge on her mouth seems kitsch.I felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, and had to squeeze out a three-point smile, and replied indiscriminately, "It's okay, I heard that Mr. Zhen said that the girl opened a shop near here, so I wanted to come and identify the door, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. , thanks to this plaque, I recognized it anyway.”

Wu Wang smiled and said, "My aunt and I made these snacks. I'll pick some for Madam later and take them home to taste. I just hope Madam won't dislike them."

Mrs. Zhang nodded at the side and said, "Thanks to Mr. Pei's many cares, since Madam is here today, at least I will give you a favor and bring some back, so that the girls in the house can also taste it."

Sister Su didn't answer, and asked directly, "That plaque outside looks familiar, but is it a gift from our uncle?"

Wang Wang Xindao really asked the teacher to ask the crime, his face was still calm, and he nodded with a light smile.

"It's weird." Sister Su sneered, "Our uncle is using his mind now, I don't know how soon my sister will come into the garden? It's always unseemly outside, besides opening such a shop, others don't know how to make fun of it, sister, Do you say yes or no?"

Wuwang gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time before saying, "Grandma Zhen's words are not understandable to Mr. Chun. If Mr. Chun opens such a cake shop and does not steal or rob, and lives by handicraft, it is a joke."

Sister Su waved her silk fan, and said slowly, "I know it, sister, don't be ashamed, I'm here today to invite my sister to come back with me, no title won't last long, and I'm not a jealous person Humans can still tolerate it.”

Wuwang's face was pale, he was humiliated by Grandma Zhen, and he hated Pei Zhen in his heart. He let his temper go like that, and now his wife misunderstood him, Baba ran here, and nothing happened.

Mrs. Zhang on the side couldn't listen anymore, and said in a bad mood, "Grandma, did you say this after asking clearly, our sister is a girl who has not left the cabinet, so such dirty water can't be poured, and there is no such reason , you, a grandma, show up to invite men, if people listen to it, it will really lose face."

Miss Su is angry!She wanted to invite her into the garden with a good voice, but she had to kill her by all means when she was under her nose, but now she picked up Joe and complained about her.

"Don't look at our grandma's good nature. Does an aunt still need three media and six hires? Which one doesn't just carry it in through the side door quietly? Our grandma came here because she was afraid of losing her dignity. Don't Shame on you!" Miss Su's eldest girl, Xi'er, was sharp-tongued, and when she saw her master being robbed, she got angry and yelled back at Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was furious, and said with a sneer, "Which girl is so lacking in discipline, your master is talking here, where is the room for you to intervene!"

Don't hope that there are gradually people watching in front of the door, so she hurriedly persuaded Mrs. Zhang to stop, and said to Sister Su, "I think grandma is thinking about it. My family didn't agree to Aunt Qi's job as a matchmaker, so I can't talk about what my aunt said."

Sister Su didn't look her in the right eyes, and said sarcastically, "I didn't agree on the face, but I'm very close in private. You don't want to give you a title, but you want to steal it!"
