Traveling through life to become rich

The four sat in the private room, An Haojue and Yi Hengqi sat on one side, Xie Mingyu and Shen Yanzhi sat opposite, half a bowl of popcorn was placed in the middle

Yihengqi stretched out his hand and squeezed one into his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately, and praised: "It's delicious!" He squeezed another one, and fed it to An Haojue in a natural way: "Try it!"

An Haojue didn't feel uncomfortable at all, opened his mouth to eat it, and said, "It's really unique."

Xie Mingyu smiled and said, "It's just a casual snack to pass the time, as long as the two of you like it."

Yiheng chess one after another, eating very happily, asked casually: "What is this made of? I have never eaten it before." He is a prince, and he has never eaten any delicious food, but this is called popcorn He really hadn't eaten the snacks before.Xie Mingyu smiled and said, "It's fried with corn kernels."

"Corn kernels? This is too amazing!" Yi Hengqi ate another one with great enjoyment.

It was also the first time for Shen Yanzhi to eat popcorn, and he was not far behind in speed. The two of you took one and the other, like small animals, and their mouths swelled non-stop.

Seeing that they liked each other, An Haojue and Xie Mingyu didn't eat much, but just like that, they quickly finished half a bowl of popcorn

"Although popcorn is delicious, it is dry after all. If you eat too much, you will get angry easily. Drink some tea." Xie Mingyu picked up the kettle, took out two new cups, and poured a cup of hot tea for each of them.

Shen Yanzhi obediently picked up the teacup.

Yihengqi ate to his heart's content, took a sip of tea, and asked curiously, "Are you also here to participate in the tournament?"

"No." Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "Yanzhi and I just came out to play. I didn't know there was a poetry competition here before."

"You don't know?" An Haojue frowned, and asked: "This poetry competition was initiated by Anguo Gongfu, and invitations have been sent to each mansion three days ago. Xie's mansion is a third-class title. Among them, you didn't receive the post?"

Xie Mingyu raised her brows when she heard the words, and laughed at herself: "Maybe the eldest aunt forgot to notify me."

Shen Yanzhi was very distressed, and quietly held Xie Mingyu's hand, conveying his comfort.

Xie Mingyu held his hand and shook it lightly, indicating that she was fine.

Yihengqi heard the words, and couldn't help complaining: "Your cousin went to the store to eat, and your aunt didn't let you participate in the poetry competition. It seems that your aunt's family really doesn't want to see you?"

An Haojue frowned, lightly patted the back of Yi Hengqi's hand, and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yi Hengqi felt wronged and said, "What did you hit me for? What I said was the truth!"

Xie Mingyu didn't care, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, what the young master said is indeed the truth, and I don't like my uncle's family either." Yi Hengqi smiled at An Haojue proudly, "Look, shopkeeper Xie doesn't care."

An Haojue smiled helplessly, looked at Yi Hengqi with pampering eyes, and then asked Xie Mingyu, "Let's not talk about that, the poetry competition is still going on, shopkeeper Xie, do you want to go down and write some poems? "

Xie Mingyu shook his head, and said with a smile: "Today, those who come to participate in the poetry competition are full of knowledge and talents. I have no ink in my chest, and I am also a businessman, so I won't join in the fun, so as not to make people laugh."

"You're too modest!" Yi Hengqi said, "But I don't seem to see your naughty cousin down there?"

Cousin Poppy?It seems that Xie Minghong really left a very bad impression on him.

Xie Mingyu smiled, and said indifferently: "I don't know about this either. He will also participate in the Spring Festival when the spring begins. It stands to reason that he should not be absent on such occasions."

Yihengqi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, leave him alone, in fact, this kind of poetry competition is not interesting, if I don't want to participate, the poems made by those people are dry, without any new ideas and inspiration, which makes it a bit boring. The heart is also unpalatable, it's not as chewy as this half bowl of popcorn."

Hearing this, Xie Mingyu's mind flashed, she seized this fleeting opportunity to hug her thigh, and said with a smile: "I also made popcorn on a whim, and it's a surprise that you like it, how about it? I wrote down the process of making popcorn, and the two sons took it back to let the chef in the mansion cook it, the method is very simple."

"Really?" Yi Hengqi asked in surprise.

"Naturally, it's not something precious, and it's fate to be liked by the young master." Xie Mingyu asked Xiaoer to get a pen and paper, and wrote down the production process in detail, but replaced the butter part with cooking oil , can also make delicious popcorn, but it lacks the creamy aroma and has a layer of caramel aroma.

After the pen and ink were dry, Xie Mingyu handed over the rice paper and said with a smile: "Just follow this process, the taste may be different from today, but it's still delicious."

Yihengqi put it away happily, and said, "Thank you shopkeeper, it's really kind!"

Seeing Yihengqi so happy, An Haojue also smiled, "Thank you very much."

"It's just a small matter, don't be so polite." Xie Mingyu smiled, "By the way, the shop will be open tomorrow for the last day, and it will be closed after that. If you two have time, come and eat one last time."

"Okay, why don't you open it?" Yi Hengqi asked in surprise.

Xie Mingyu smiled lightly: "I don't have time to take care of it for now, so I just closed it, and it will save my aunt from worrying about it all the time."

Yihengqi was very speechless, and complained: "I didn't say, is the Xie Mansion ruined, why do you even miss your little shop?

?,'

Xie Mingyu smiled wryly, and said innocently: "Who knows."

The four of them chatted aimlessly for a while, and then someone knocked on the door and came in, bowing and said: "The poetry competition has already decided the top ten, please come and judge, Mr. An."

After hearing this, An Haojue said, "Then I'll take my leave first. If I have time tomorrow, I will go to Xie shopkeeper's store to bother you."

Yi Hengqi also smiled and said, "I will go too."

After speaking, he stood up and left with An Haojue.

Afterwards, Xie Mingyu and Shen Yanzhi stayed for a while, and then left.

Everyone in the lobby on the first floor gathered together, waiting for An Haojue's judgment with nervous and anticipation, so no one noticed the two left.

The heavy snow was falling, and the world was dyed white.

In Xie's mansion, Mrs. Jiang has spent a lot of time thinking about Xie Mingyu's shop recently, but there has been no progress, and she is very upset. At this time, she is lying on a soft couch holding a hand stove to rest her mind. Yafa welcomes her in.

Hearing the movement, Mrs. Jiang didn't open her eyes, she didn't bother to ask, "Ru'er, it's snowing so much, why did you come to me if you didn't stay indoors to keep warm."

Xie Wanru smiled and said, "Staying alone is boring, so I came to see my mother."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang glanced at her, and asked, "What good thing has happened to make you so happy?"

Xie Wanru sat down on the soft couch and said: "Just now on the way here, I saw Xie Mingyu and his adopted brother in the plum garden.

"

Surprised, Mrs. Jiang sat up hastily, and asked repeatedly: "Have you met each other? You... Didn't you tell you to avoid it before? You are a boudoir girl, how can you see foreign men? You will talk more in the future." ugly!"

"Mother, don't worry, just listen to me!" Xie Wanru took Jiang's hand and said, "They were admiring plum blossoms outside the plum garden. They didn't know that I was there, and they didn't meet directly."

Jiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but still sternly said: "After the new year, I will propose a marriage proposal for you. You must avoid them, and don't let them affect your marriage, do you know!"

"I see, mother." Xie Wanru said mysteriously: "I saw something extraordinary outside the plum garden today.

"

〇

"What's the matter?" Jiang asked suspiciously.

Xie Wanru recounted the scene she had seen before, and said, "Mother, do you think the two of them get along a little strangely? Would ordinary brothers also make such intimate movements? Could it be..." She gestured with her hands After a while, the meaning of the words is clearly revealed.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang had an unbelievable expression on her face.

She had met Xie Mingyu's brother-in-law a few times before, but she didn't take it seriously, and now she thought about his appearance carefully. Although he looked a little childish, he was delicate and pleasing, especially when he obeyed Xie Mingyu's words. Thinking back to his clothes again, the brocade clothes and ornaments all over his body are overwhelmingly luxurious.

Jiang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that some sons of noble and rich families are indeed masculine and pampered by men, she couldn't help feeling disgusted.

"Two men... This is too disgusting! I can't blame them for sharing the same room. When I said I wanted to propose marriage to him, he refused so simply!"

"This is just a guess, but judging by how the two get along, there is a high probability that they won't be able to escape." Xie Wanru said viciously: "If Xie Mingyu really did such a disgusting thing, mother can not only use this to threaten him to hand over the shop For you, you can justly cut off his qualifications to be a noble, and then take the opportunity to kick him out to show the position of the mansion, it's like killing three birds with one stone."

Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses, clapped her palms and said with a smile: "As expected of my daughter, she is so careful and discovered such a horrifying thing." She narrowed her eyes full of calculations, "Hmph, it doesn't matter if you are an official or do it for yourself. Shang, walking outside, the most important thing is reputation, let's see how I deal with him!"

Xie Wanru persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, after all, it's just a guess now, this matter has to be confirmed before we can act!" "Mother knows." With a vicious and calculating look, he said in a cruel voice: "Look, my mother will help him, and when the time comes to catch the adulterer and become a couple, let me handle it!"

Xie Wanru lowered her eyes and smiled, her eyes were full of malice.

In the evening, Xie Mingyu and Shen Yanzhi returned to Xie's mansion, and just after returning to the room to change their clothes, someone knocked on the door.

Xie Mingyu took the hand stove and asked Shen Yanzhi to carry it to sit on the couch before he opened the door. There was a maid standing outside the door. It was the big girl who often followed Jiang's side with pink hair and a cup of soup in her hand.

Xie Mingyu asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Tao Hong often waits on Mrs. Jiang, and is very good at reading people's faces. Seeing Xie Mingyu's face is cold, she hurriedly replied with a smile: "Madam said that it is snowing and cold, and the smoker in the house is burning. I am afraid that my throat will be dry, so I specially asked the kitchen to cook rock sugar pear soup." Send it to the young master, and drink something to clear and moisten your throat."
