Traveling through life to become rich

Mrs. Xu cried a lot when she saw Xie Mingyu, and now that she finally met her face, her heart was finally at ease, and the exhaustion accumulated on the road was revealed.

Xie Mingyu was careful, and when she saw this, she quickly persuaded her in a gentle voice: "Grandmother loves grandson, and grandson loves grandma too. Go and rest for a while, and get closer to you later, okay?"

Xu Chengjun also felt sorry for the old lady who had been running around for days, and persuaded: "What Mingyu said is that since we have already arrived in Beijing, we are not in a hurry at this moment, you should go and rest for a while."

Mrs. Xu took Xie Mingyu's hand in comfort, and said lovingly: "What an obedient child, okay, grandma will listen to you, and I will get closer to you after a while."

Xie Mingyu was about to help Mrs. Xu get up, when she saw Shen Yanzhi standing at the door of the room at a loss from the corner of her eyes, she raised her hand and called him in.

Mrs. Xu looked up and saw a handsome young man dressed in goose yellow embroidered with silver auspicious cloud pattern stepping in. His eyes were crystal clear, very pure, and very pleasing.

"Who is this young man?"

Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "I forgot to tell my grandmother that his name is Shen Yanzhi, and he is my brother-in-law. These days, he and I are dependent on each other."

Turning to Shen Yanzhi in a soft voice: "Don't kowtow to grandma yet."

Shen Yanzhi knelt down obediently in front of Mrs. Xu after hearing the words, and respectfully gave Mrs. Xu a big gift.

Xie Mingyu briefly talked about the process of their acquaintance, and sighed: "It was fortunate that Yanzhi saved me at that time. His father passed away and his mother remarried to another place. I recognized him as my brother-in-law, and we also took care of each other."

Mrs. Xu was very grateful when she heard the words, she took Shen Yanzhi's hand and talked for a long time, Shen Yanzhi saw that she looked tired, so he obediently helped her to the wing room for a rest.

After Mrs. Xu left, Xu Chengjun asked worriedly: "Mingyu, why didn't you buy girls and servants in this house?

"

Xie Mingyu smiled, and said: "This house is small, and Yanzhi and I live alone, so we don't arrange Yafa and servants. But don't worry, uncle, I bought another mansion not far away, and the housekeeper There are servants of Yafa, your grandmother lives there tonight. Speaking of which, it is almost lunch time, I will cook later, and our family will have a good meal."

Xu Chengjun frowned, "You cook yourself?"

Xie Mingyu smiled proudly, and said: "Well, my craft is not bad, and I opened a Malatang shop before, and the business was good, but unfortunately, because Mrs. Jiang always wanted to ask for Fangzi, she simply closed it, and Fangzi sold for 8 taels. hey-hey."

Xu Chengjun's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he said in a low voice: "Selling Mala Tang? The merchants are not in business, your future..."

Xie Mingyu had a smile on his lips, and said indifferently: "To tell you the truth, uncle, I didn't intend to go into an official career at first, and the merchants are at the bottom of the list, but freedom is the best thing. And this time I am cooperating with An Shizi, with An Shizi as the backstage, I am sure There is a lot of money to be made, and no one dares to make trouble."

Xu Chengjun saw that Xie Mingyu had his own ideas, so he didn't persuade him much. He patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Since you have a plan in your heart, uncle won't say much, but there is one thing you must remember, no matter what happens in the future Don't be afraid, uncle will support you."

Xie Mingyu smiled gratefully: "I will remember my uncle's heart."

The lunch was very hearty. Considering Mrs. Xu's age, Xie Mingyu specially made dishes that are easy for the elderly to digest, fish in tomato sauce, steamed eggs with meat, stuffed meat with shiitake mushrooms, fried tofu with fungus, and fresh shrimp and chicken meatball soup. Steaming four dishes and one soup.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Chengjun looked at the dishes on the table, and they were deeply moved. They didn't expect that Xie Mingyu could really cook, and the taste and appearance were not bad.

After eating, Xie Mingyu made another pot of tea to aid digestion, and after talking about himself for a while, he took old Mrs. Xu and Xu Chengjun to the new house.

Shen Yanzhi had come to notify in advance after eating, the housekeeper got the news and started to make preparations, had already brought his servants to wait in front of the mansion gate for a long time, when he saw the carriage coming, he hurried up to greet him, Xie Mingyu got out of the carriage first, set off The curtain of the car helped Mrs. Xu down.

Xu Chengjun raised his head and glanced at the plaque on the mansion, Liyuan, it's a good name.

The housekeeper led a group of people to salute quickly, Xie Mingyu smiled and said: "Get up, my grandmother and uncle will live in Liyuan from now on, you just have to take care of them."

The housekeeper answered yes with a bow and a smile, and then ordered his servants to unload the salute from the carriage, enter through the side door and send it to the room.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "This garden looks good, quite grand."

Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "This is the garden where Wang Shangshu lived. Because he retired, he brought a whole family back to his hometown. He probably won't return to the capital. It's not worthwhile to keep this garden empty, so he plans to sell it and keep it. An old steward took care of him, because he wrote a letter to invite his uncle, and once he entered the house there was no vacant room, so he could not wrong his uncle, so he went to the Kyoto Yamen to buy a mansion, and it just so happened that he fell in love with this mansion."

As Xie Mingyu said, he led the two of them to the main room. When they entered the main courtyard, they faced a screen wall of birds and phoenixes made of colorful glazed bricks and tiles. The momentum is extraordinary.

"This place used to be called Suzaku Hall, and I didn't change the name after being tired. How does grandma look?"

Mrs. Xu nodded and smiled: "I think it's right, the name fits the occasion."

Xu Chengjun also praised: "It is also called the screen wall of the birds and the phoenix."

Several people took a look and left the Zhuque hall, passed through the moon gate and entered the Chaoshou verandah.

You will arrive at a wide and sparse courtyard.

Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "This is where my uncle lives, it's called Botao Garden."

Xu Chengjun looked at the open yard and was very satisfied. He could practice qigong when he got up early.

Leading the two of them through the veranda, pointing to the front, he said: "The courtyard where my grandmother lives is Shou'an Hall, and I have to go a little further inside. It is the most exquisite and quiet place in the garden, and it will not disturb my grandmother's cleanliness. Just go."

Mrs. Xu nodded and sighed: "Good boy, it's hard for you to be thoughtful."

It took a stick of incense for the few people to go this way, and when they arrived at Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Xu looked around at the exquisite furnishings in the house, and she was very pleased, and said with a smile: "This garden is quite spacious, almost occupying half of it. Street, right?"

Xie Mingyu smiled triumphantly: "It's not just half a street, there are two courtyards behind, a row of inverted houses, which are extremely spacious, and the location of the mansion is also very good, not far from the bustling area in central Beijing, so it's very cheap to move around .”

"Such a nice house, bought it and repaired it, must have cost a lot of money? Grandma brought you some when she came this time..."

Xie Mingyu hurriedly laughed and said, "The money is enough, grandma doesn't have to worry about it."

Mrs. Xu took his hand and sighed: "It's hard for you. You can still make a fortune after being treated so harshly. I have explained it to Xie Xiaozhang today. I will go to get the dowry and property back in a few days. It's a pity that you won't be able to inherit the title again." Xie Mingyu comforted her and said, "Grandmother just arrived, so don't be so anxious about these things."

Mrs. Xu said: "Your uncle and I came here in a hurry this time, and we can't stay in the capital for long. Of course, it's important to divide the dowry and family property left by your mother first. I heard that Jiang's daughter is celebrating the new year. We're going to discuss marriage. If the time comes, Mrs. Jiang takes the dowry left by your mother as a front, and it won't be easy to take it back. Grandma knows it well, just wait and see, and they will definitely pay back everything with interest. return"

Xie Mingyu smiled gratefully: "Mingyu made grandmother worry."

"Ming'er is only your son, but my grandmother was blinded by it and made you suffer all these years for nothing. I feel ashamed in my heart." Mrs. Xu was choked up as she spoke.

Seeing this, Xu Chengjun quickly comforted him: "Old lady, don't be sad, you see that Mingyu specially bought such a mansion for us to live in, which shows that he still has some ideas."

Xie Mingyu also deliberately smiled and said: "Yes, grandma, don't underestimate me, I am very good at making money, I will buy more fruit cakes for my grandma tomorrow."

Mrs. Xu had already heard Xie Mingyu say that she was going to go into business, so she laughed amusedly by him, tapped his forehead with her finger, and said with a smile: "Poor mouth, by the way, as for that child Yanzhi, I haven't seen him for a long time. him."

Xie Mingyu didn't see Shen Yanzhi for a long time, and she was also thinking about it. Hearing this, she called a little girl serving outside the door and asked her where Shen Yanzhi was. The little girl smiled and replied: "Master Shen is drying quilts in the warm room. Although the quilt is new, it has not been used for a long time, and it is inevitable that it will be a little damp. I am worried that the old lady and uncle will not sleep well at night, and there is no sun today to dry it, so I light the smoker and bake it until it is fluffy. Then the girls sent them to the room to make a bunk."

Xu Chengjun wondered when he heard the words: "What are you going to do all this hard work for? Wouldn't it be enough to heat it up on the smoker cage for a while before going to bed at night?"

Xie Mingyu smiled and said: "Uncle doesn't know, the silver frost charcoal burned in the fumigation cage in the mansion is inferior, he is afraid that the smoke will smell of smoke, the fire will burn, and disturb the sleep of grandmother and uncle at night. "

Yafa laughed and said: "Yes, Young Master Shen specially used high-quality silver frost charcoal, and added orange peel, the baked quilt is very fluffy and has no smell at all."

Mrs. Xu sighed: "He is such a good boy, it's hard for him to be so careful."

Xie Mingyu's heart was also warm, it was hard for him to think of such a trivial matter, and said with a smile: "Go and see if Young Master Shen is finished, and invite him to come over and have a conversation with grandma."

Yafa went to invite him, and Shen Yanzhi came over after a while, probably because he stayed in the greenhouse all the time, his face was red with smoke.Mrs. Xu held his hand and praised him for his carefulness. Shen Yanzhi was a little embarrassed, touched his head and smiled shyly: "It's all as it should be, it's nothing."

Xie Mingyu smiled, stretched out her hand to stroke his hair, and pulled him to sit down.

The four talked for a while before Xie Mingyu left with Shen Yanzhi. Before leaving, Xu Chengjun handed them a thick red booklet to him: "This is your mother's wedding gift list, you keep it first Bar."
