Song female man
Chapter 45
Sister Song Yu didn't want to hear her elder brother nagging about her marriage, so she simply stood up and took her son Zhou Liang by the hand. The mother and son went out to the back garden of Cao's mansion. The garden is scattered, and I haven't been with my son for some days.
Cao Shilang has been a Beijing official for more than 20 years. This house is the old house of the Cao family. It was bought by Cao Shilang when his father became an official in Zhizhou. Cao Shilang was his father's only son. , I started as a small official in the Ministry of Industry and was promoted all the way to the minister.
Sister Song Yu's eldest brother, Song Gui, was Cao Shilang's sidekick back then. He had some abilities and won Cao Shilang's trust.And Song Gui has been the housekeeper of the Cao family for more than ten years. Sister Song Yu often came to play in the Cao mansion when she was in her boudoir. She was able to walk in the dark, but her sister-in-law Chen brought her a lantern and asked her to carry it to illuminate the path under her feet.
Holding a lantern in one hand and her son Zhou Liang's little hand in the other, Sister Song Yu joked with her son from time to time.
Zhou Liang asked Sister Song Yu if there was anything fun in the back garden of the Cao Mansion at night. Sister Song Yu said yes, on the night of the full moon there will be fairies from the Moon Palace flying to the world and dancing on the flowers. If you are lucky enough, you will see them.
"Mom, let's go quickly, my son is going to see the fairies!" Zhou Liang became curious when he heard that, and took Sister Song Yu's hand and jumped forward.
Sister Song Yu was dragged by him, pursing her lips and smiling, thinking, her son is really easy to coax.However, in the name of looking for the fairy under the moon, I went all over the back garden of Cao Mansion. When my son grows up in the future, even if he understands that his mother is coaxing him, he will leave a deep memory...
Will he say to his children and grandchildren: "When I was young, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother took me to the back garden of Cao Mansion to look for immortals, but..."
The fairy end is nowhere to be found, but this night will always exist in his childhood memory until he grows up.
Thinking of this, Sister Song Yu's lips curled up even more.
The mother and son walked into the back garden of the Cao Mansion in a short while. Zhou Liang held his mother's hand tightly and ran forward in a hurry. He wanted to see the fairy dancing among the flowers. What does the fairy look like? How about her dancing posture became the strongest attraction at this moment, leading him to search around in the moonlit garden.
Wearing flowers again and again, blowing leaves again and again, Sister Song Yu and her son wandered in the back garden of Cao Mansion.
Rather than admiring the shadows of flowers under the moon, Sister Song Yu prefers to spend the time in front of her with her son.
"Mother! I found it! I found it! Look, is the Fairy Moon Palace dancing in front of you?" Suddenly Zhou Liang stopped, pointing his little hand in front of him and shouting excitedly.
"..." Sister Song Yu didn't expect that there really was a Moon Fairy who came to the back garden of the Cao Mansion to dance on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. She thought it was because her son was too eager to find the Moon Fairy. Before denying him, she still followed the direction of his little finger. Looking forward, the whole person froze.
In front, in an open field of flowers about ten steps away from their mother and son, there was a woman with a graceful figure dancing a sword.
Her sword dance is familiar and done in one go, which is pleasing to watch.
Not far from her, stood two maidservants holding sword scabbards and long gowns.
Sister Song Yu felt a little familiar with the figure dancing the sword. Before she could figure out who this "fairy" was, the girl dancing the sword had already heard Zhou Liang's words, stopped dancing the sword, and looked towards Sister Song Yu's mother and son. , and asked aloud, "Who's there?"
Zhou Liang murmured softly after hearing this: "Mother, fairies are so fierce..."
Sister Song Yu smiled and said to him in a low voice: "Mother will take you to see her, don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Liang nodded and hummed.
Sister Song Yu held the lantern in one hand, and led her son in the other to walk out from the flowers and walk towards the woman dancing with the sword.
With a distance of more than ten steps, after a while, Sister Song Yu and her son stood two or three steps away from the sword-wielding woman.
The man saw that Sister Song Yu was a woman holding a child, so he was not so defensive. He called the maid to get the scabbard and put the sword into the scabbard. Then he looked up at Sister Song Yu, and Sister Song Yu also looked at her carefully. , and then the two spoke out almost simultaneously.
"Sister Yu?"
"Qihong?"
"it's me……"
"I'm……"
"Oh! That's great! I didn't expect to see you the first day I returned to Beijing six years later!"
"I didn't expect that six years later, I would take Liang'er to stroll in the back garden of Cao Mansion, and I would meet you!"
The little Zhou Liang held his mother's hand, looked up at his mother and talked excitedly with the fairy, with a string of question marks in his head, wondering why the fairy who flew down from the moon palace actually knew his mother?And they said six years ago, could it be possible that mother had seen this fairy flying down from the moon palace six years ago?
Hey, my mother is really the luckiest person in the world. It must not be easy for ordinary people to meet Fairy Moon Palace once, but she was able to see her twice...
"Liang'er? Is this your baby? How old is it?" After hearing her words, the woman called Qihong by Sister Song Yu stretched out her hand to touch Zhou Liang's head and asked with a smile.
Sister Song Yu told her son was five years old.
"Looks like you, let's go, let's sit in the pavilion in front and talk for a while." Cao Qihong said to Sister Song Yu.
After finishing speaking, she asked the maid beside her to take the lantern from Sister Song Yu's hand, and she and Sister Song Yu walked side by side into the pavilion facing a small pond not far ahead.
This Cao Qihong is Cao Shilang's second daughter and also Cao Shilang's only daughter.
Cao Shilang's wife, Fan Shi, gave birth to him a son and a daughter. Apart from this, Cao Shilang has no heirs anymore. The main reason is that this Fan family is a Hedong lion. , and no other children.
The eldest son, Cao Dong, was an official in Beijing. The second daughter, Cao Qihong, married Fei Zhong six years ago.When she was in her boudoir, she knew and had contacts with Sister Song Yue, so when she saw Sister Song Yu today, she immediately recognized her.And when Sister Song Yu was in her boudoir, she also played with this young lady from the Cao family who was as old as her.Although Cao Qihong is the eldest daughter of the Cao family, she has no airs and has a gentle attitude towards others. However, Sister Song Yu knows that Cao Qihong's temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is a person with her own opinions.
After Cao Qihong got married and left Bianliang, Sister Song Yu never saw her again, but through her elder brother who was the housekeeper of the Song family, Sister Song Yu still had some understanding of Cao Qihong's situation.It is said that Cao Qihong in Lizhou has a bad relationship with her official Fei Zhong, the governor of Lizhou, and has not had any children for these years. Fei Zhong's mother complained a lot, and there seemed to be many quarrels between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Sister Song Yu can imagine that Cao Qihong's married life must be extremely unsatisfactory.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sister Song Yu hadn't heard the news of Cao Qihong's return from her brother's mouth. At this time, she suddenly saw Cao Qihong appearing in the back garden of Cao's Mansion. Sister Song Yu couldn't help guessing that her official Fei Zhong had been transferred back to the capital from Lizhou. She came back with her husband, and went back to the Cao Mansion for a reunion on the Mid-Autumn Festival night...
So after sitting down in the pavilion with Cao Qihong, Sister Song Yu said what she had just thought.
But Cao Qihong told Sister Song Yu that it was not like that, but that she had already reconciled with Fei Zhong. In fact, she wanted to reconcile with him three years ago. One place, but after three years, she felt that she still couldn't live with Fei Zhong, so she insisted on reconciling and leaving.After the reconciliation, she returned to her natal family and arrived at Cao's mansion in the afternoon today.In the evening, she had dinner with her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, and when they watched the moon together after dinner, her parents and elder brother and sister-in-law talked about her marriage again. She was upset when she heard that, so she went out for a walk, dancing the sword to relieve her boredom.
Sister Song Yu knew that Cao Qihong was weak when she was young, so her mother found a female teacher for her to teach her to dance swords to keep fit. Later, she developed a habit of dancing swords almost every day. Just after her son Zhou Liang called out the words of the fairy, When she saw the figure of the woman dancing the sword, she found it inexplicably familiar. It was because many years ago when she was in her boudoir, she often saw Cao Qihong dancing the sword.
Hearing Cao Qihong say that she had reconciled, Sister Song Yu was not very surprised. She thought that if she was in Cao Qihong's position, she might also want to reconcile like her.So, she then said some comforting words to her, saying that it's okay to make up and leave, maybe I can find better ones in the future.
Cao Qihong was noncommittal to Sister Song Yu's words, but asked about Sister Song Yu's situation. She said that she didn't know about Sister Song Yu's situation after she got married and went to Lizhou with Fei Zhong. Now that she saw Sister Song Yu's son, she envied her for having a husband. You have a son, and life goes smoothly.
Sister Song Yu smiled wryly, and told Cao Qihong that her official had died of illness three years ago, and now she is doing business by herself, managing a large restaurant, and today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she came to her elder brother's house for the festival, and by the way, take a look at the Son raised by parents.
After hearing this, Cao Qihong said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you and I to feel sorry for each other. It's just that you are better than me, and you still have a child after all. But in the past six years, I've wasted my good years, and it's like a nightmare..."
Sister Song Yu comforted her and said that it would be okay if she woke up from this nightmare. She also said that she was free recently, so she could often visit Cao Qihong and keep her company, or Cao Qihong could go to her place.
Cao Qihong asked: "Aren't you doing business, how can you have a lot of time to accompany me?"
Sister Song Yu briefly said that recently she was entangled by the son of a high-ranking official in the capital. That son was a greasy-faced dandy. Doing business.
"So that's how it is." Cao Qihong glanced at Sister Song Yu up and down, and smiled and said with a comprehension, "It's no wonder that you were born so beautiful, and you have a lot more charm than when you were in the boudoir. That dude fell in love with you at a glance. If I were a Man, I'm afraid I want to ask you to go back and be your wife."
"Oh, Qihong, I haven't seen you in the past few years. I feel that you have changed, you have become glib, and you have started to make fun of me." Sister Song Yu pushed Cao Qihong and smiled coquettishly.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Cao Qihong lowered her voice and cast a glance at Sister Song Yu, "Your son is in front of you, you motherfucker is flirting like this, if he sees it, he will say you are not serious."
When Sister Song Yu heard this, she hurried to see her son Zhou Liang who was playing outside the pavilion accompanied by two maidservants. Seeing that he didn't pay attention to this side, she raised her hand to stroke her chest and said that Cao Qihong was lying.
Cao Qihong laughed, sweeping away the gloomy look on her face before, seeing that Sister Song Yu was happy, she also laughed.
Going to Cao's mansion to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival this night, reuniting with old friends in the old boudoir, for Sister Song Yu, she was more gratified than enjoying the moon with her family, and for Cao Qihong, it probably was the same.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shunniang continued to do her bean sprouts business. She used an ox cart to drag firewood, fish, and bean sprouts into the city as Sister Song Yu sent someone to tell her. The Song family went to the store, delivered the goods, took the money from Tan's accountant, and came back to meet her.Then he divided half of the goods sent to other small foot stores, and moved them to the bullock cart in the stone, and the two went to deliver the goods separately.At noon, after delivering the goods, we went to the appointed food stall or small foot shop to have lunch together, and then went home separately.
Because she didn't meet and chat with Sister Song Yu in the accountant of Songjiazheng Store recently, Shunniang drove the ox cart back to Yangliu Town after lunch, returning earlier than usual.
Both Liu Shi and Qi Shi liked that she came back early, and even Kecheng and Huier liked her to come back early so they could play together.
Shunniang came back early that day as usual, drove the ox cart to the backyard of Xie's house, unloaded the cart, fed the cattle, fetched water from the well, washed her hands, and went home.She saw that the door on the fence was open, so she went through there, first went to the bean sprouting room to see how the bean sprouts were growing, then passed the kitchen, and found that there was no one in the kitchen.
She thought that sister-in-law had just come to pick up water, so the door on the fence was open. She thought that sister-in-law should be pouring water into the water tank in the corner in the kitchen, but she didn't see anyone.
"Huh? Where did sister-in-law go?" Shunniang muttered, walking to the wall again and locking the door.
Then she walked into the front room and found that there was no one in the room, not only the sister-in-law, but also her mother.
"Mother! Sister-in-law!" Shun Niang shouted loudly at the top of the stairs. She wondered if they would be upstairs, but no one answered her upstairs.
Noisy voices came from the next door, as if many people were coming in and out, so Shunniang walked out out of curiosity, and saw her mother and sister-in-law, one holding Kecheng and the other holding Huier, standing at the door next door. He was talking with many people watching the excitement on this street.
Shunniang shook her head, thinking, her mother and sister-in-law just like to watch the excitement, aren't the people coming and going next door moving?What's the point of moving?
Originally, she wanted to go back to sleep, but she thought she was back, so she had to say hello to them, so she walked over, walked behind her mother and sister-in-law, patted them on the shoulder, and called each other mother And sister-in-law, then ask them what they are looking at?
"Erlang (uncle) is back?"
"Ah."
Mrs. Liu soon told Shunniang that a family surnamed Liang moved in next door to Xi's family. It is said that this family is in the tofu business. Wouldn't it be convenient to buy tofu next door in the future?She also whispered to Shunniang that the Liang family next door, both men and women, were handsome, and one of them, who was about the same age as Shunniang, was particularly energetic.
Shunniang was inexplicably startled when she heard what the old lady said, because from her old lady's words, she seemed to find that the old lady had taken a fancy to that young and handsome young man and wanted to recruit him as her son-in-law, just like Mrs. Wu wanted to recruit herself Like being a son-in-law.
She really wanted to tell her old lady to get rid of those thoughts as soon as possible. Now that she is Kijiro, everyone knows that her gender is male. If you want to recruit someone's younger generation to be your son-in-law, is that because you want to have sex yourself?Thinking about it, Shunniang felt hairy all over her body.
"Mother, take your time with your sister-in-law. I'll go back and lie down first." After hearing what her old mother said, Shun Niang felt that her heart was troubled, and naturally she didn't want to stay here.
Turning around, she was just about to walk away, but she heard a slightly magnetic female voice behind her: "Everyone in the neighborhood, Erniang Liang of the slave family, is here for the first time to do this ancestral tofu business in this expensive place, please take care of the slave business in the future. Liang’s tofu workshop will open tomorrow, and anyone who comes to take care of our business buys a piece of tofu and gets a piece of tofu free, and we will offer you a discount for three days in a row!”
Buy one get one free?Three-day discount?
How does Shunniang feel that this way of doing business comes from the 21st century before she came here?
But now it is the beginning of the eleventh century, does Song Dynasty have this kind of marketing model?
Curiosity made Shunniang stop, she turned her head to look at the speaker, she couldn't help being startled when she saw it, and four words popped out of her mind: Tofu Xi Shi!
The woman who spoke was about 21 or [-] years old, with picturesque features, with the beauty of Jiangnan people, but also the vigor of northerners, and the sharpness of businessmen.
The combination of Lingxiu, vigor and sharpness, coupled with her slightly magnetic female voice, makes people feel close to her when they see her, but she will not feel obscene. The main reason is that her overall style is like a green bamboo , that kind of strong character is contained in the smart appearance.
ah!What an outstanding woman!
Shunniang sighed in her heart, this tofu seller Liang Erniang made her eyes shine.
After Liang Erniang finished speaking, the surrounding people applauded, and then a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man walked out of the house, carrying a big basket, and introduced himself as Liang Jiasanlang, and then Distributing dried tofu to the people around, saying that this is the product of their workshop, everyone will take it home and taste it first, and say that the dried tofu can be eaten with rice, whether it is fried or cut up like this, and it can be served with wine.
Everyone present received two pieces of dried tofu the size of a palm. This move of course won the praise of the neighbors in the neighborhood.
When Liang Sanlang sent it to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu grabbed Shunniang who was behind her, and said with a smile on her face that there was another one here, and that she, Erlang and Dalang's wife were neighbors of the Liang family. , while talking, pointed to the house that Xi's family rented, and said that Xi's family was in the business of seedlings.
It is estimated that Mrs. Liu's words had some effect. Liang Sanlang counted out nine pieces of dried tofu from the big basket in his hand and gave them to Mrs. Liu. Come and go, take care of each other.
Mrs. Liu nodded quickly, and said in a repeated voice: "Okay, okay, okay."
Shunniang seemed to see the expression of a wolf looking at a sheep when a mother-in-law in the world saw a good son-in-law on her face with a bright smile like a flower.
But, having said that, the Liang Sanlang in front of me is indeed handsome, his face is quite similar to his sister's, and he has good facial features, but he is a man, his facial features should be deeper, and this person has a pair of long legs , at least half a head taller than Shun Niang.Shunniang, who had the core replaced, was about 1.7 meters tall. As for Liang Sanlang, who was not much older than her, Shunniang visually estimated that his height should be close to 1.8 meters.This is considered a tall man in this era.In addition, there is a deep dimple on the left side of this man's face. When he smiles and talks, the dimple is especially deep, making people feel that he is very sunny at first glance. No wonder Shunniang's old lady fell in love with him at a glance , I feel that I should fight for my Shunniang.
Hey, this pair of sisters and brothers sell tofu, and the business is probably going to be very good. This beauty has swept the tofu sellers in the entire Yangliu Town.
Shun Niang can imagine that when the Liang's tofu shop next door opens for business tomorrow morning, these uncles and aunts who have become fans of the two brothers and sisters, Huaichun girls and boys, and mothers-in-law who want to get back a good son-in-law for their daughter should be How eager to buy tofu.
This should also include myself, an old woman who drools when she sees Liang Sanlang, right?
"Mother, I'm leaving, I'm going back, I've given you all the dried tofu, what are you still doing here?" Shunniang dragged her nympho old lady who was still smiling at Liang Sanlang, and dragged her away.Seeing this, Mrs. Qi pursed her lips and snickered behind her, hugged Hui'er, and followed Shunniang and her mother-in-law back to the house.
When Shunniang entered the house, she complained, saying that the old lady and sister-in-law were so patronizing to see beauties and handsome men, the door on the fence was not closed, and the door of the house was not closed, in case a thief patronized and stolen I don't know yet.
Mrs. Qi took the initiative to admit her mistake, saying that it was all her fault. Originally, when she brought water over, she heard her mother-in-law said that a neighbor who looked like a fairy moved in next door. She was curious, so she went to take a look. Anyone who wanted to take a look would just look Stopped, forgot to come back and lock the door.
Shunniang pretended to be in a bad tone and said, "There can be no next time!"
Mrs. Qi weakly agreed, and when the old lady went to the kitchen to put dried tofu, Niang Shun came up to Mrs. Qi and asked her in a low voice with a playful smile: "Sister-in-law, don't you fall in love with that Liang like my mother?" Saburo, right? If that's the case, there are countless little ladies and their mothers in this town who are your enemies..."
"Uncle! How can you say that...about the slave family..." Qi became anxious when he heard this, and gave Shunniang a look.
"Oh, it's not Liang Sanlang?" Shunniang raised her eyebrows, and then said jokingly, "Sister-in-law, you don't mean to be attracted to Erniang Liang, the bean curd Xi Shi?"
This time, Shunniang made Qi's face blush, stretched out her hand and pinched Shunniang's arm, angrily said: "I treat you as an unscrupulous..."
Shunniang grinned in pain and begged for mercy, but Qi sternly pinched her hand, and said, "I want you to tell me that it's not uncle who is looking at Tofu Xishi?"
Cao Shilang has been a Beijing official for more than 20 years. This house is the old house of the Cao family. It was bought by Cao Shilang when his father became an official in Zhizhou. Cao Shilang was his father's only son. , I started as a small official in the Ministry of Industry and was promoted all the way to the minister.
Sister Song Yu's eldest brother, Song Gui, was Cao Shilang's sidekick back then. He had some abilities and won Cao Shilang's trust.And Song Gui has been the housekeeper of the Cao family for more than ten years. Sister Song Yu often came to play in the Cao mansion when she was in her boudoir. She was able to walk in the dark, but her sister-in-law Chen brought her a lantern and asked her to carry it to illuminate the path under her feet.
Holding a lantern in one hand and her son Zhou Liang's little hand in the other, Sister Song Yu joked with her son from time to time.
Zhou Liang asked Sister Song Yu if there was anything fun in the back garden of the Cao Mansion at night. Sister Song Yu said yes, on the night of the full moon there will be fairies from the Moon Palace flying to the world and dancing on the flowers. If you are lucky enough, you will see them.
"Mom, let's go quickly, my son is going to see the fairies!" Zhou Liang became curious when he heard that, and took Sister Song Yu's hand and jumped forward.
Sister Song Yu was dragged by him, pursing her lips and smiling, thinking, her son is really easy to coax.However, in the name of looking for the fairy under the moon, I went all over the back garden of Cao Mansion. When my son grows up in the future, even if he understands that his mother is coaxing him, he will leave a deep memory...
Will he say to his children and grandchildren: "When I was young, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother took me to the back garden of Cao Mansion to look for immortals, but..."
The fairy end is nowhere to be found, but this night will always exist in his childhood memory until he grows up.
Thinking of this, Sister Song Yu's lips curled up even more.

She thought it was because her son was too eager to find the Moon Fairy. Before denying him, she still followed the direction of his little finger. Looking forward, the whole person froze.
In front, in an open field of flowers about ten steps away from their mother and son, there was a woman with a graceful figure dancing a sword.
Her sword dance is familiar and done in one go, which is pleasing to watch.
Not far from her, stood two maidservants holding sword scabbards and long gowns.
Sister Song Yu felt a little familiar with the figure dancing the sword.

Zhou Liang murmured softly after hearing this: "Mother, fairies are so fierce..."
Sister Song Yu smiled and said to him in a low voice: "Mother will take you to see her, don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Liang nodded and hummed.
Sister Song Yu held the lantern in one hand, and led her son in the other to walk out from the flowers and walk towards the woman dancing with the sword.
With a distance of more than ten steps, after a while, Sister Song Yu and her son stood two or three steps away from the sword-wielding woman.
The man saw that Sister Song Yu was a woman holding a child, so he was not so defensive. He called the maid to get the scabbard and put the sword into the scabbard. Then he looked up at Sister Song Yu, and Sister Song Yu also looked at her carefully. , and then the two spoke out almost simultaneously.
"Sister Yu?"
"Qihong?"
"it's me……"
"I'm……"
"Oh! That's great! I didn't expect to see you the first day I returned to Beijing six years later!"
"I didn't expect that six years later, I would take Liang'er to stroll in the back garden of Cao Mansion, and I would meet you!"
The little Zhou Liang held his mother's hand, looked up at his mother and talked excitedly with the fairy, with a string of question marks in his head, wondering why the fairy who flew down from the moon palace actually knew his mother?And they said six years ago, could it be possible that mother had seen this fairy flying down from the moon palace six years ago?
Hey, my mother is really the luckiest person in the world. It must not be easy for ordinary people to meet Fairy Moon Palace once, but she was able to see her twice...
"Liang'er? Is this your baby? How old is it?" After hearing her words, the woman called Qihong by Sister Song Yu stretched out her hand to touch Zhou Liang's head and asked with a smile.
Sister Song Yu told her son was five years old.
"Looks like you, let's go, let's sit in the pavilion in front and talk for a while." Cao Qihong said to Sister Song Yu.
After finishing speaking, she asked the maid beside her to take the lantern from Sister Song Yu's hand, and she and Sister Song Yu walked side by side into the pavilion facing a small pond not far ahead.
This Cao Qihong is Cao Shilang's second daughter and also Cao Shilang's only daughter.
Cao Shilang's wife, Fan Shi, gave birth to him a son and a daughter. Apart from this, Cao Shilang has no heirs anymore. The main reason is that this Fan family is a Hedong lion. , and no other children.
The eldest son, Cao Dong, was an official in Beijing.

However, Sister Song Yu knows that Cao Qihong's temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is a person with her own opinions.
After Cao Qihong got married and left Bianliang, Sister Song Yu never saw her again, but through her elder brother who was the housekeeper of the Song family, Sister Song Yu still had some understanding of Cao Qihong's situation.It is said that Cao Qihong in Lizhou has a bad relationship with her official Fei Zhong, the governor of Lizhou, and has not had any children for these years. Fei Zhong's mother complained a lot, and there seemed to be many quarrels between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Sister Song Yu can imagine that Cao Qihong's married life must be extremely unsatisfactory.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sister Song Yu hadn't heard the news of Cao Qihong's return from her brother's mouth. At this time, she suddenly saw Cao Qihong appearing in the back garden of Cao's Mansion. Sister Song Yu couldn't help guessing that her official Fei Zhong had been transferred back to the capital from Lizhou. She came back with her husband, and went back to the Cao Mansion for a reunion on the Mid-Autumn Festival night...
So after sitting down in the pavilion with Cao Qihong, Sister Song Yu said what she had just thought.
But Cao Qihong told Sister Song Yu that it was not like that, but that she had already reconciled with Fei Zhong. In fact, she wanted to reconcile with him three years ago. One place, but after three years, she felt that she still couldn't live with Fei Zhong, so she insisted on reconciling and leaving.After the reconciliation, she returned to her natal family and arrived at Cao's mansion in the afternoon today.In the evening, she had dinner with her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, and when they watched the moon together after dinner, her parents and elder brother and sister-in-law talked about her marriage again.

It was because many years ago when she was in her boudoir, she often saw Cao Qihong dancing the sword.
Hearing Cao Qihong say that she had reconciled, Sister Song Yu was not very surprised. She thought that if she was in Cao Qihong's position, she might also want to reconcile like her.So, she then said some comforting words to her, saying that it's okay to make up and leave, maybe I can find better ones in the future.
Cao Qihong was noncommittal to Sister Song Yu's words, but asked about Sister Song Yu's situation. She said that she didn't know about Sister Song Yu's situation after she got married and went to Lizhou with Fei Zhong. Now that she saw Sister Song Yu's son, she envied her for having a husband. You have a son, and life goes smoothly.
Sister Song Yu smiled wryly, and told Cao Qihong that her official had died of illness three years ago, and now she is doing business by herself, managing a large restaurant, and today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she came to her elder brother's house for the festival, and by the way, take a look at the Son raised by parents.
After hearing this, Cao Qihong said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you and I to feel sorry for each other. It's just that you are better than me, and you still have a child after all. But in the past six years, I've wasted my good years, and it's like a nightmare..."
Sister Song Yu comforted her and said that it would be okay if she woke up from this nightmare. She also said that she was free recently, so she could often visit Cao Qihong and keep her company, or Cao Qihong could go to her place.
Cao Qihong asked: "Aren't you doing business, how can you have a lot of time to accompany me?"
Sister Song Yu briefly said that recently she was entangled by the son of a high-ranking official in the capital. That son was a greasy-faced dandy. Doing business.
"So that's how it is." Cao Qihong glanced at Sister Song Yu up and down, and smiled and said with a comprehension, "It's no wonder that you were born so beautiful, and you have a lot more charm than when you were in the boudoir. That dude fell in love with you at a glance. If I were a Man, I'm afraid I want to ask you to go back and be your wife."
"Oh, Qihong, I haven't seen you in the past few years. I feel that you have changed, you have become glib, and you have started to make fun of me." Sister Song Yu pushed Cao Qihong and smiled coquettishly.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Cao Qihong lowered her voice and cast a glance at Sister Song Yu, "Your son is in front of you, you motherfucker is flirting like this, if he sees it, he will say you are not serious."
When Sister Song Yu heard this, she hurried to see her son Zhou Liang who was playing outside the pavilion accompanied by two maidservants. Seeing that he didn't pay attention to this side, she raised her hand to stroke her chest and said that Cao Qihong was lying.
Cao Qihong laughed, sweeping away the gloomy look on her face before, seeing that Sister Song Yu was happy, she also laughed.
Going to Cao's mansion to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival this night, reuniting with old friends in the old boudoir, for Sister Song Yu, she was more gratified than enjoying the moon with her family, and for Cao Qihong, it probably was the same.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shunniang continued to do her bean sprouts business. She used an ox cart to drag firewood, fish, and bean sprouts into the city as Sister Song Yu sent someone to tell her. The Song family went to the store, delivered the goods, took the money from Tan's accountant, and came back to meet her.Then he divided half of the goods sent to other small foot stores, and moved them to the bullock cart in the stone, and the two went to deliver the goods separately.At noon, after delivering the goods, we went to the appointed food stall or small foot shop to have lunch together, and then went home separately.
Because she didn't meet and chat with Sister Song Yu in the accountant of Songjiazheng Store recently, Shunniang drove the ox cart back to Yangliu Town after lunch, returning earlier than usual.
Both Liu Shi and Qi Shi liked that she came back early, and even Kecheng and Huier liked her to come back early so they could play together.
Shunniang came back early that day as usual, drove the ox cart to the backyard of Xie's house, unloaded the cart, fed the cattle, fetched water from the well, washed her hands, and went home.She saw that the door on the fence was open, so she went through there, first went to the bean sprouting room to see how the bean sprouts were growing, then passed the kitchen, and found that there was no one in the kitchen.
She thought that sister-in-law had just come to pick up water, so the door on the fence was open. She thought that sister-in-law should be pouring water into the water tank in the corner in the kitchen, but she didn't see anyone.
"Huh? Where did sister-in-law go?" Shunniang muttered, walking to the wall again and locking the door.
Then she walked into the front room and found that there was no one in the room, not only the sister-in-law, but also her mother.
"Mother! Sister-in-law!" Shun Niang shouted loudly at the top of the stairs. She wondered if they would be upstairs, but no one answered her upstairs.
Noisy voices came from the next door, as if many people were coming in and out, so Shunniang walked out out of curiosity, and saw her mother and sister-in-law, one holding Kecheng and the other holding Huier, standing at the door next door. He was talking with many people watching the excitement on this street.
Shunniang shook her head, thinking, her mother and sister-in-law just like to watch the excitement, aren't the people coming and going next door moving?What's the point of moving?
Originally, she wanted to go back to sleep, but she thought she was back, so she had to say hello to them, so she walked over, walked behind her mother and sister-in-law, patted them on the shoulder, and called each other mother And sister-in-law, then ask them what they are looking at?
"Erlang (uncle) is back?"
"Ah."
Mrs. Liu soon told Shunniang that a family surnamed Liang moved in next door to Xi's family. It is said that this family is in the tofu business. Wouldn't it be convenient to buy tofu next door in the future?She also whispered to Shunniang that the Liang family next door, both men and women, were handsome, and one of them, who was about the same age as Shunniang, was particularly energetic.
Shunniang was inexplicably startled when she heard what the old lady said, because from her old lady's words, she seemed to find that the old lady had taken a fancy to that young and handsome young man and wanted to recruit him as her son-in-law, just like Mrs. Wu wanted to recruit herself Like being a son-in-law.
She really wanted to tell her old lady to get rid of those thoughts as soon as possible. Now that she is Kijiro, everyone knows that her gender is male. If you want to recruit someone's younger generation to be your son-in-law, is that because you want to have sex yourself?Thinking about it, Shunniang felt hairy all over her body.
"Mother, take your time with your sister-in-law. I'll go back and lie down first." After hearing what her old mother said, Shun Niang felt that her heart was troubled, and naturally she didn't want to stay here.
Turning around, she was just about to walk away, but she heard a slightly magnetic female voice behind her: "Everyone in the neighborhood, Erniang Liang of the slave family, is here for the first time to do this ancestral tofu business in this expensive place, please take care of the slave business in the future. Liang’s tofu workshop will open tomorrow, and anyone who comes to take care of our business buys a piece of tofu and gets a piece of tofu free, and we will offer you a discount for three days in a row!”
Buy one get one free?Three-day discount?
How does Shunniang feel that this way of doing business comes from the 21st century before she came here?
But now it is the beginning of the eleventh century, does Song Dynasty have this kind of marketing model?
Curiosity made Shunniang stop, she turned her head to look at the speaker, she couldn't help being startled when she saw it, and four words popped out of her mind: Tofu Xi Shi!
The woman who spoke was about 21 or [-] years old, with picturesque features, with the beauty of Jiangnan people, but also the vigor of northerners, and the sharpness of businessmen.
The combination of Lingxiu, vigor and sharpness, coupled with her slightly magnetic female voice, makes people feel close to her when they see her, but she will not feel obscene. The main reason is that her overall style is like a green bamboo , that kind of strong character is contained in the smart appearance.
ah!What an outstanding woman!
Shunniang sighed in her heart, this tofu seller Liang Erniang made her eyes shine.
After Liang Erniang finished speaking, the surrounding people applauded, and then a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man walked out of the house, carrying a big basket, and introduced himself as Liang Jiasanlang, and then Distributing dried tofu to the people around, saying that this is the product of their workshop, everyone will take it home and taste it first, and say that the dried tofu can be eaten with rice, whether it is fried or cut up like this, and it can be served with wine.
Everyone present received two pieces of dried tofu the size of a palm. This move of course won the praise of the neighbors in the neighborhood.
When Liang Sanlang sent it to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu grabbed Shunniang who was behind her, and said with a smile on her face that there was another one here, and that she, Erlang and Dalang's wife were neighbors of the Liang family. , while talking, pointed to the house that Xi's family rented, and said that Xi's family was in the business of seedlings.
It is estimated that Mrs. Liu's words had some effect. Liang Sanlang counted out nine pieces of dried tofu from the big basket in his hand and gave them to Mrs. Liu. Come and go, take care of each other.
Mrs. Liu nodded quickly, and said in a repeated voice: "Okay, okay, okay."
Shunniang seemed to see the expression of a wolf looking at a sheep when a mother-in-law in the world saw a good son-in-law on her face with a bright smile like a flower.
But, having said that, the Liang Sanlang in front of me is indeed handsome, his face is quite similar to his sister's, and he has good facial features, but he is a man, his facial features should be deeper, and this person has a pair of long legs , at least half a head taller than Shun Niang.Shunniang, who had the core replaced, was about 1.7 meters tall. As for Liang Sanlang, who was not much older than her, Shunniang visually estimated that his height should be close to 1.8 meters.This is considered a tall man in this era.In addition, there is a deep dimple on the left side of this man's face. When he smiles and talks, the dimple is especially deep, making people feel that he is very sunny at first glance. No wonder Shunniang's old lady fell in love with him at a glance , I feel that I should fight for my Shunniang.
Hey, this pair of sisters and brothers sell tofu, and the business is probably going to be very good. This beauty has swept the tofu sellers in the entire Yangliu Town.
Shun Niang can imagine that when the Liang's tofu shop next door opens for business tomorrow morning, these uncles and aunts who have become fans of the two brothers and sisters, Huaichun girls and boys, and mothers-in-law who want to get back a good son-in-law for their daughter should be How eager to buy tofu.
This should also include myself, an old woman who drools when she sees Liang Sanlang, right?
"Mother, I'm leaving, I'm going back, I've given you all the dried tofu, what are you still doing here?" Shunniang dragged her nympho old lady who was still smiling at Liang Sanlang, and dragged her away.Seeing this, Mrs. Qi pursed her lips and snickered behind her, hugged Hui'er, and followed Shunniang and her mother-in-law back to the house.
When Shunniang entered the house, she complained, saying that the old lady and sister-in-law were so patronizing to see beauties and handsome men, the door on the fence was not closed, and the door of the house was not closed, in case a thief patronized and stolen I don't know yet.
Mrs. Qi took the initiative to admit her mistake, saying that it was all her fault. Originally, when she brought water over, she heard her mother-in-law said that a neighbor who looked like a fairy moved in next door. She was curious, so she went to take a look. Anyone who wanted to take a look would just look Stopped, forgot to come back and lock the door.
Shunniang pretended to be in a bad tone and said, "There can be no next time!"
Mrs. Qi weakly agreed, and when the old lady went to the kitchen to put dried tofu, Niang Shun came up to Mrs. Qi and asked her in a low voice with a playful smile: "Sister-in-law, don't you fall in love with that Liang like my mother?" Saburo, right? If that's the case, there are countless little ladies and their mothers in this town who are your enemies..."
"Uncle! How can you say that...about the slave family..." Qi became anxious when he heard this, and gave Shunniang a look.
"Oh, it's not Liang Sanlang?" Shunniang raised her eyebrows, and then said jokingly, "Sister-in-law, you don't mean to be attracted to Erniang Liang, the bean curd Xi Shi?"
This time, Shunniang made Qi's face blush, stretched out her hand and pinched Shunniang's arm, angrily said: "I treat you as an unscrupulous..."
Shunniang grinned in pain and begged for mercy, but Qi sternly pinched her hand, and said, "I want you to tell me that it's not uncle who is looking at Tofu Xishi?"
