Song female man

The atmosphere of the dinner party hosted by Xi's family for sister Song Yu, the first guest who came to congratulate the housewarming, was a bit weird, as if there were two heavens of ice and fire.

On the one hand, Shunniang and Mrs. Liu treated Sister Song Yu very enthusiastically, while on the other hand, Erniang Xie and Mrs. Qi just ate and kept silent.

Sister Song Yu is quite comfortable with it. She doesn't talk much when she eats. She usually just praises Shunniang, saying that her special dishes are really delicious. These dishes are not available in their restaurants. When serving a few chopstick dishes, he would say a few words to his son gently.

It took about half an hour for the meal to be over, and it seemed that Sister Song Yu was quite satisfied with the meal. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and it was time to leave.

The Xi family headed by Shunniang sent Sister Song Yu to the donkey cart and watched her get into the cart with her son. The donkey cart drove away from Xi's house and disappeared on the street of Zaoshu before returning.

After returning, everyone washed up and went back to the house to rest.

Today, not only Shunniang was tired, but everyone else, regardless of adults and children, fell asleep quickly with their heads on the pillows after returning to their rooms.

After Shunniang returned to the room, she was also yawning. Xie Erniang followed her into the room, went straight to sit by the mirror table, and began to pull out the golden hairpin on her head, remove the bracelet and ring on her hand, and distribute it, and then asked Shunniang to go over Comb her hair.

On weekdays, she seldom asks Shunniang to do this. Shunniang, who had already walked to the bed with her shoes on, was about to take off her clothes and go to bed. Hearing this, Shunniang stopped undoing the belt around her waist and turned around. He went to Erniang Xie, picked up a chair and sat down behind her, took the boxwood comb from Erniang Xie, and began to comb her hair carefully.

Xie Erniang has thick black hair like satin, which Shunniang likes very much, so she does not feel boring at all in combing her hair, on the contrary, she enjoys it.

She likes the satiny black hair of her own wife.

"Officer... I have something to tell you." Xie Erniang hesitated for a while, and finally opened her mouth.

Shunniang kept moving her hands, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xie Erniang said in a low voice: "Can you please stop associating with Mrs. Song."

"Oh?" Shun Niang raised her voice halfway, "What's wrong, are you jealous?"

After hearing Shunniang's words, Xie Erniang understood that Shunniang had seen everything in her eyes and was not confused.

Now that Niang Shun saw it for real, she stopped hiding it and said: "Since you have seen it, I don't like Miss Song coming to my house, and I don't like living in her house, no matter what you say It doesn't matter if I'm jealous or whatever, I want you to promise me that you won't associate with her anymore, and don't let her come to your house, okay?"

Shun Niang was silent, and said: "I know that you are jealous of her, but, lady, I really have nothing to do with her. I will stop dealing with you, and I can't promise you. After all, I don't care if I do seed business, or charcoal. Whether it is business or business, she is my buyer, and we live in her house, so it is impossible not to meet her. As for not letting people come to the house, I can’t say it, she is my benefactor, Without her help, I wouldn't have made it this far..."

Before she finished speaking, Erniang Xie was already angry. She stood up suddenly, pulled her thick black hair to her chest, turned to look at Shunniang, and said angrily, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You just want to see me get angry, just want to see Seeing me jealous, how did your heart grow, why did you ignore me at all, so, were you just kidding when you said that you hurt me like your own eyeball? "

Shunniang was combing Xie Erniang's hair, when Xie Erniang stood up, the comb tore off a few hairs unexpectedly, which made Shunniang feel distressed, and when she saw Xie Erniang blushed, her eyes turned red, After she said the angry words with aggrieved face, she immediately realized that the two of them had great differences on this matter.

Xie Erniang just didn't believe that she and Sister Song Yu were innocent, and she herself thought that Xie Erniang was a little narrow-minded and made a fuss out of a molehill.

Because no matter in terms of business or renting someone else's house, it is impossible not to associate with Sister Song Yu, and it is impossible for her not to come to the house.

Sighing, she comforted Xie Erniang and said, "Lady, don't worry, of course I know that you are uncomfortable seeing Sister Song Yu, but have you ever thought about it? What I said is also true. Lady Song is a good person, I can't behave like that You are ungrateful. You are not comfortable living in this house. I promise you that I will do business for another year. If I save money, I will buy another yard. I won’t live with Mrs. Song. If you want me to stay away from Mrs. Song, then I will Just let Shitou deal with Mrs. Song, and try to meet her as little as possible, but you want me not to let people come to the house, I can’t tell. You saw it today, Mrs. Song brought her children to eat at home. I just stayed for a while and left. I think, even if it’s not Mrs. Song, Lu Erlang, or Liang Sanlang, we don’t really want to welcome these people, but we can Shall you lower your face and drive people away?"

Xie Erniang shook her head and said, "I haven't been so upset when Lu Erlang and Liang Sanlang came, because they didn't come for you, but Mrs. Song, she came for you. Although she didn't say anything, she didn't do anything. , but I can see her thoughts at a glance. She can deceive others, but not me. I don't like her thinking about you, and I don't like her pretending to be nothing, appearing around us, as if she is really innocent, as if She was wronged, as if showing how narrow-minded I am, how jealous I am!"

"..." Shunniang suddenly felt that her thoughts and Xie Erniang's thoughts were on two channels, so what she said was a bit irrelevant.

Biting her lip, Shunniang's head hurt a little.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and asked Erniang Xie with a disgruntled look on her face: "Then tell me, stop dealing with Mrs. Song at all, and whether we can still do business with Song's main store? Half of the charcoal is related to Mrs. Song. Also, you don't let Mrs. Song come to your house, you don't live in the house she rented to us, and where do you go to find a house with a reasonable price to live in? How do you arrange the arrangements? everything?"

Xie Erniang was left speechless by Shunniang's question. She was also jealous. She had confronted Sister Song Yu more than an hour ago and was at a disadvantage.Hearing Shunniang's question now, how could she have a ready answer.

So she belatedly thought, if according to Shunniang's question, if she didn't associate with Sister Song Yu or do business with her, the business of Xi's family would be reduced by about half. One hundred guan, it will become [-] guan in the future.As a result, you will have to wait another year to buy your own house.And if it is a trivial matter to return the rented house of Sister Song Yu and rent it again, it will consume a lot of manpower and energy.

After thinking about it, Xie Erniang could only blame Shunniang for not telling her that she wanted to rent Sister Song Yu's house when she rented the house before. If she hadn't rented Sister Song Yu's house, she wouldn't have been so troublesome.

Shunniang then asked her back: "Even if you don't rent Mrs. Song's house, Mrs. Song will come to congratulate us on our housewarming even if she knows we have moved into Bianliang City. Can you stop people from coming?"

Xie Erniang was speechless. Obviously, even if she didn't rent Mrs. Song's house, she couldn't stop Mrs. Song from coming to congratulate Xi's family on their housewarming, otherwise it would appear that Xi's family was rude and unreasonable. No one could do such a thing.

Therefore, if I proposed to Shunniang not to associate with Mrs. Song or rent her house, in the end it was impossible to follow her wishes.

Xie Erniang suddenly wanted to cry. She found that she had nothing to do with Sister Song Yu in the short term. Out of consideration for Xi's family's business, Shunniang would not cut off contact with Sister Song Yu. Out of family and everything, she moved It is not advisable to move immediately after entering the city.She can't ignore the interests of the whole family because of her own likes and dislikes.

So, she could only watch Sister Song Yu's thorn go straight into her heart, and then her heart bleeds and hurts...

Shunniang saw that Xie Erniang's eyes were red, she quickly put down the comb in her hand, walked over to hug her, and said softly: "Don't think too much, I promise you, earn more money, and I will definitely buy a yard you like next year Live in, Mrs. Song's place, I try to keep as little contact with her as possible, and call Shitou for everything. If she comes to visit the house, you are the head of our house, so you have to treat her well. She comes to us At home, I just want to eat my specialty dishes, so I will make them for her, and I have the right to repay her kindness to me in the past. Still the same sentence, I chose you to be my wife, and you are my favorite in my heart. The most important thing. You have to be big-hearted. Once you enter Bianliang City, you will meet all kinds of people in the future. Besides, when I do business, it is very likely that I will meet other ladies besides Mrs. Song , if you are all so fussy, can you get over it? I know you are angry because you care about me, so I don't blame you at all, but please believe me, okay? Well, good days are still waiting for us, think about it, you still have to be a mother, and you still have to watch our children grow up..."

When it comes to children, Xie Erniang doesn't care about Shunniang and Sister Song Yu. She leans into Shunniang's arms and asks her: "Then when are we going to adopt a baby? And do you like it?" Male doll, or female doll?"

Shunniang: "In the coming year, let's adopt a new house after we buy a new house. As for the male and female dolls, it's up to you. Do you want a male or female doll?"

Xie Erniang had thought about it a long time ago, and said, "I've thought about it a long time ago, let's have a boy doll first, and then a girl doll. The boy doll will be the big brother, and the girls can rely on him in the future, so they won't be easily bullied. Let's talk about it later." , with a male doll, someone from the Xi family will support the family."

Shunniang nodded: "Then it's all up to you, first you want a boy doll, and then you want a girl doll. If our business gets bigger and richer in the future, we can ask for one or two more. Then we will have nurses and maidservants." , and I won’t tire you. I like a big family and a big business, full of children and grandchildren.”

"Okay." Xie Erniang said, with a smile on her face and a cheerful voice.

Seeing that she had finally made his wife laugh, Shunniang couldn't help feeling relieved, and then she put her arms around Xie Erniang's shoulders, and the two went to bed to rest together.

After a quarrel, they reconciled later. This night, the two were happy. Xie Erniang could finally speak out without worrying about being heard. Shunniang worked harder when she heard these sweet voices, and the two were happy. , the momentary love is infinite.

Waking up the next day, it was a fine weather with high sky and light clouds.

Except for the two children, the whole family wakes up around the time of the ugly, and Shun Niang has a lot of work to do. When she wakes up, she gets out of bed and puts on her clothes. Shunniang told her not to get up, and said that it was cold today, not like summer, so just let her lie down.

Xie Erniang said that she was used to getting up early, and she woke up a little after moving to the city, and it was really hard not to do things.

Shunniang joked, "If it's really all right, I'll go to the front yard and pick up dozens of catties of charcoal for you to wash in. Would you like to try washing it?"

Xie Erniang heard that Shunniang was teasing her, so she gave her a look, saying that she was bored playing with herself, and someone was washing charcoal, because she was full and had nothing to do.

Shunniang laughed, and said: "Then it's over. Now that I'm free, I'm learning to live a leisurely life. I woke up at this point because of the habit I developed when I lived in Yangliu Town. Stay here more After some time, if you don’t hear the pigs screaming, you will wake up later. I only have one thing to tell you, don’t do embroidery work if you wake up early and have nothing to do. If you’re bored, go to the small kitchen Knead the dough inside to make pancakes, knead the dough carefully, and when a good pot of pancakes is made, it will be dawn and I will be back for breakfast."

Xie Erniang smiled and agreed.

When Shunniang came back from working in the front yard all morning, washed her hands, and sat at the dining table in the dining room next to the small kitchen, Erniang Xie and Mrs. Qi walked over with smiles and brought porridge and a plate Shun Niang grabbed one of the delicate cooking cakes and tore them apart, and found that the inside was silky and elastic in the mouth, so she praised the cake for its deliciousness.

Mrs. Qi told Shunniang that Xie Erniang got up before dawn to make it. I don't know how long it took to make the noodles before steaming such cakes.

Shunniang looked at Xie Erniang and smiled, saying that she was just restless, and she was really obedient.

Xie Erniang rolled her eyes at Shunniang, and said, "Just eat it...you can't keep your mouth shut."

Mrs. Qi looked at the two without knowing why, and she couldn't guess the riddle of the couple. However, she didn't want to guess because her mother-in-law Liu came in, and she wanted to serve her mother-in-law to eat, serve her porridge, and serve her chopsticks...

After breakfast, Shun Niang arranged the work of the old lady and others, that is, today is the day when Xi's family invites the neighbors on Zaoshu Street to dinner, and she wants Qi to ignore everything and just stay in the inner courtyard and take care of the two children , Just come out to eat when the meal time comes.As for the old woman and the lady, they went out to receive guests, and they received all the female guests, and they all sat on the east side of the front yard, while the male guests went by themselves and Shitou, and let them sit on the west side of the yard.After a while, the owner and chef of the little foot shop will come with their buddies and meat dishes, and they will set up a stove near the wall on the north side of the yard. Stone's father went to help.

After the arrangements were made, Shunniang and the others came out to the front yard. Sure enough, the owner of the little foot shop that Shunniang invited yesterday came with the chef and staff. There were about six or seven of them. The stove was set up everywhere, and then the guys started to arrange the brought tables and chairs.

Today's treat for Shun Niang is based on 80 people, so ten tables are set up to make ten tables.

Around noon, the neighbors on Zaoshu Street who Shitou sent out invitations yesterday came one after another. Shunniang stood at the door to welcome the guests. Most of the visitors would name themselves and present gift boxes congratulating the Xi family on their housewarming.After Shun Niang picks it up, she will pass it to Shi Shi, asking him to remember who the guest is and what he gave.Shitou has been with Shunniang for more than a year, and he has also learned a lot of characters. He can write the most basic numbers and names. When encountering some characters that cannot be written, he will draw pictures beside him. Can understand.

Shunniang paid special attention to what Shito said yesterday that there were two families living in the Second Courtyard on Zaoshu Street, a family named Zhuo from the top of Zaoshu Street, and a family named Dai who was diagonally opposite Xi's house.

An old man and a middle-aged man came to these two families today.

The old man is the head of the Zhuo family, he is over sixty, has a gray beard, and looks very gentle. Sure enough, after Shunniang greeted him, the old man told Shunniang that he is a sixth-rank official of Dali Temple in the capital. One of the two sons is an official in Beijing, and the other is an official outside, and the family is doing well.

Shunniang felt that although Zhuo's family was an official's family, she was not pretentious, and she was willing to go to her banquet as a businessman, so she respected the old man surnamed Zhuo, and invited him to sit in the top seat. She is the master of the master's seat. This should be the seat that only the most distinguished guests of the Xi's family can sit on today.

Later, the middle-aged man surnamed Dai received by Shunniang was called Dai Sheng. According to his self-introduction, he also came to Bianliang more than a year ago and bought a house on Zaoshu Street. Shun Niang is also a businessman, except that he is engaged in freight business and has nine large cargo ships in his hand, which are specialized in transporting goods on the canal to make money.There is also a brother in his family. Both brothers have already married and have children. Now the two families share the house and have not separated because their parents are still alive and they are not allowed to separate.He and his brother took turns to take care of their parents at home. In the last month, his elder brother stayed at home, and his brother was running the boat, so he came to the banquet after accepting Shunniang's invitation.

The number heard that Hoopoe was actually in the freight business, and was very happy, so he invited him to sit down at the top right seat.

Shunniang felt that Dai Sheng might cooperate with her, because she needed a cargo ship to transport charcoal to Bianliang for sale. Although she was now cooperating with two or three ship owners, the combined number of ships they owned was not as good as Dai Shengduo, if she has a good relationship with Dai Sheng, her charcoal business will expand in the future, and it will be more convenient for Dai Sheng to carry her own coal.

The rest of the guests who received invitations from stones and came to the banquet were ordinary people in the capital, doing various small businesses or helping others to make ends meet.

As for the neighbors on the left and right of Xi's house, they were received by Mrs. Liu and Erniang Xie, because they were all female guests.

The guest Mrs. Liu received was a woman of similar age, Mrs. Gu. Her wife passed away a few years ago. There was a son in the family who was doing a small wine business. He often went to the streets to sell wine. A daughter-in-law, Hang, gave birth to a son and a daughter.In addition, she also has a daughter, who is also 15 years old this year, and she is asking a matchmaker to make a marriage proposal. Usually, she, her wife, and her daughter do some embroidery work and send it to the embroidery workshop for some money to subsidize the family. The house where the ancient family lived was handed down from the ancestors.She said that now the most valuable thing in the Gu family is the house they live in, but this house will not be sold easily, it is the foundation of the family's livelihood.

Mrs. Gu is a woman who can speak very well, even better than Mrs. Ke before. Mrs. Liu is worried that she will not have a sister who can speak when she enters the city. Now this Mrs. Gu is very good at speaking. She likes it in her heart. So he invited her to sit at the table he was sitting at, warmly brought refreshments, and chatted with her.

The female guest Xie Erniang received, Yu Shi, was a woman in her early thirties. She was a matchmaker by profession. Her husband worked as a manager in a raw medicine store. She had only one daughter, who was 13 years old this year. The family of three lived in an ancestral house.

Since Yu Shi is a matchmaker, she must be more eloquent than Gu Shi. As soon as she saw Xie Erniang looking her up and down, she was full of praise, saying that she is beautiful and born well, and she is lucky to see her appearance like this .He also said that she was married well, and Xi Xiaoguan was not only handsome, but also good at business.She knew that the house that Xi's family was renting now belonged to Mrs. Song, a well-known rich woman in Bianliang City. Business, capable.

There is no one who doesn't like to listen to flattery, and so does Xie Erniang.

This Mrs. Yu just praised her when she caught her, and by the way, she praised Shunniang for being so capable. After Xie Erniang heard it, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile. He invited Qu Dalang's wife, Mrs. Yi, to treat her to the guest seat at the table he was sitting at.

When the banquet officially started at noon, the ten tables set by Shunniang were full of people. Qu Dalang and Heiwa also joined the table after delivering the goods. After Shunniang delivered a welcome speech, she announced the opening of the banquet. The neighbors who came here ate and drank as much as they wanted, and they will come and go frequently in the future to be good neighbors.

As expected, the guests ate and drank as much as Shun Niang had hoped, and left after they were full.

By the time the banquet ended, it was past Shen time (three o'clock in the afternoon).

Shunniang, Liu Shi, Xie Erniang and others went to see off the guests again, sent the guests out, and then went back to rest. The cups, plates and chopsticks in the yard were left for the shop assistants, Heiwa, Qu Dalang and others to clean up. .

When Mrs. Liu returned home, she told her eldest daughter-in-law, Ms. Qi, that she met a good sister today. Ms. Gu, who lived next door to Xi's house, could talk. She would not worry about having anyone to talk to, and she could walk around with her house tomorrow. stand up.She asked Mrs. Qi to follow her around at that time, so as not to be bored at home.

Mrs. Qi humbly agreed, but for some reason she thought of Erniang Liang, and began to miss her a little.
