Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

Three months have passed, and Mingrou's 15th birthday will soon be here. This is her second birthday after arriving in Tongzhuang.

The same as before, they are all bought in their small yard. The difference is that this year's small yard looks extra warm. The walls are built up, the walls are covered with green leaves, and various colors are planted on the corners. There are flowers and plants, and two new benches have been built against the wall on the side of the entrance, and it looks very comfortable to sit on.

Because she had confessed to Mingrou about Tongzhuang, Ye Qiuniang invited Tong Guanshi, Fu Shuiyao was also invited, Tong Si came, Father Zhong couldn't help it, so she also came to have a drink or two.

Now that they are not short of money, the food and wine they buy is naturally richer than last time. It is lively and lively, adding a lot of festive atmosphere.

In private, because of Mingrou's identities, Tong Si and Atao were a little restrained at first, but Mingrou didn't make any fuss, and her attitude remained the same as before. Come alive.

At the dinner table, everyone was happy in their hearts.

Needless to say, the Zhong family's family, over the past six months, after Zhong Tiantian and Ming Rou started the rouge business, they took more money from the family than the income of the entire Zhong family in the past few years. How could they not make them smile. She doesn't need to do all the work, just concentrate on following Ming Rou to make the rouge.

Before, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother might have been careful about Ye Qiuniang, thinking that maybe one day Zhong Lin could marry this virtuous and capable woman home as his daughter-in-law, but now it seems that the behavior of the two sisters is fundamental. It's not like the children raised by ordinary people who also cook around the stove, but Ye Qiuniang looks even more impressive.

Seeing the distance between himself and Ye Qiuniang getting farther and farther, Zhong Lin was also a little frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

And Mingrou's changes are even more impressive. When she first came to Tongzhuang, she felt that she was not like a child from a poor family. The precious rouge has been sold for money, how can it not be admirable.

Looking at it carefully now, the little girl is stronger than when she first came, she has also grown a lot taller, her complexion is a little ruddy, she is completely different from the weak girl when she first came.

Really grown into a big girl.

Thinking that she has reached Jiji's age now, this threshold may be trampled down by the proposer in the future.

Ye Qiuniang was the taxi cook, and Atao and Zhong Lin helped. Tongsi and Zhong old man sat on the bench by the wall, smoking dry cigarettes and chatting about this year's harvest, while Mingrou took Fushuiyao , Xu Qionghua and Zhong Tiantian were chattering in the workshop.

Mother Zhong had nothing to do, so she also sat around the stove to help watch the fire.

When the food was on the table, an unexpected visitor came. Ming Hongxuan and the groom knocked on the wooden door of the courtyard with large and small bags. After hearing the sound, they left on the fifth day of the lunar new year. Hearing the sound of rattling on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he ran out quickly, so as not to let Ming Hongxuan be chased all over the courtyard.

Ye Qiuniang heard the commotion outside, handed over the matter at hand to Tao, wiped her hands and came out.

Seeing that it was Ming Hongxuan who came, his heart skipped a beat, but he asked calmly, "Why is the third young master here?"

"Ah Rou's birthday is today, and my parents asked me to come over and give some congratulatory gifts."

Ye Qiuniang thought that after rejecting the 100 taels of silver last time, she thought that this person would be able to retreat in spite of the difficulties, but unexpectedly came to her again.

It stands to reason that a young master like Ming Hongxuan, regardless of whether he has any thoughts about Mingrou, can be considered a well-to-do family. He looks good and his heart is not bad, but Ye Qiuniang just doesn't like this person. If That day when Ming Rou was kicked out of the house, Ming Hongxuan was able to persuade his parents to come out to help him, and now she can still give him a little good face.

But his cowardice and lack of energy also made her completely disappointed in this person. People who are incapable of protecting Rou'er don't need to beg for mercy again, and now they will just take the opportunity to show up and it will only make people feel bored.

Ming Hongxuan looked at Ye Qiuniang's calm expression, feeling a little uneasy.

You know, if you want to win Mingrou's heart, you have to pass the test of Ye Qiuniang, but now that you haven't shown much, the other party is already impatient, which makes it impossible for him to open the gap.

Today is Ming Rou's birthday, no matter what Ye Qiuniang would not hide her face from others and put on a cold bench, she changed into a smiling face in a short while: "Third young master is interested, come in and sit, I'll go Talk to Rouer."

Mingrou is cooperating with Zhong Tiantian to show the other two the newly prepared purple lip balm.

The little sisters around Xu Qionghua are relatively young, and they are not very interested in purple lip balm. They think it is too old-fashioned and gloomy, so they are not optimistic about this color product.

But Fu Shuiyao showed great interest: "Xiao Rourou, you are such a little genius, how did you know that sisters just like this color of lip balm."

Ming Rou pursed her lips and smiled when she was recognized: "My mother likes this style. She thinks the red is too bright and too bright. Sometimes this dark purple is a little darker. It looks unassuming, but it is very beautiful inside and implies a lot. Be careful in there."

Although Xu Qionghua didn't like purple very much, he still admitted the market value of this product, but when he heard Fushuiyao's high evaluation, he couldn't help but want to scold her.

"It's just a color that some older people will like. In short, I don't like it."

Fu Shuiyao said with a smile: "Of course you don't like it, after all, kids of your age can't control this cool and noble color at all."

When Xu Qionghua heard this, she became anxious, how could there be colors in this world that Huazi could not control, so she grabbed the lip balm sample from Mingrou's hand and wiped it on her lips facing the bronze mirror.

It's a pity that the force was too strong, and a touch of color overflowed and seeped onto the lips.

The corner of Fu Shuiyao's mouth twitched: "If you're in a hurry, I'll make it up for you."

Xu Qionghua didn't want her to touch him at first, but the other party had already bullied him, and the pleasant fragrance came to his face, and he couldn't help but slander: What kind of spice is this old woman wearing, it smells so good.

Xu Qionghua never expected that after being hit by this burst of fragrance, she couldn't help becoming a little dizzy. She let Fu Shuiyao, an old woman, wipe her lips until the other woman's voice came to her ears. Sounded: "Okay!"

Xu Qionghua just woke up in an instant, she stood there in a daze, unable to understand why she was so dazed all of a sudden, unable to think about the problem at all, Xu Qionghua blushed for her loss of focus.

"It looks like the effect of a child stealing an adult's clothes."

Fu Shuiyao withdrew her hand reluctantly, how could this little kid's skin be so smooth and tender, it was really hard to put it down.

After hearing Fu Shuiyao's words, Xu Qionghua was a little unconvinced for a moment, and was about to refute, but saw Ye Qiuniang came in, and said to her: "Rou'er, brother Xuan is here, go and say hello."

Ming Rou was startled when she heard the words: "What is he doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to celebrate your birthday."

"...I didn't invite him..." Mingrou couldn't help lowering her voice, but now that the person has come to the door, the visitor is just a guest, so she can't be driven away.

Xu Qionghua at the side heard that Ming Hongxuan was coming, and couldn't help being a little excited: "Ming San is here, let's go, Rourou, let's go out and have a look."

After all, they are friends who have played together for a long time. Although everyone has been a little unsatisfactory in the past two years, the friendship from childhood is still there, and the relationship is relatively close.

Several people filed out from the workshop, and Ming Rou greeted Ming Hongxuan shallowly after seeing him, neither close nor alienated.

But Ming Hongxuan couldn't help getting excited when he saw Ming Rou coming out, seeing her increasingly handsome face and slender figure, and ordered the groom to bring a bunch of gifts and put them in front of her.

Ming Rou couldn't help frowning at this moment, the big and small bags looked like many things were of great value, I think Ming De's family had put in a lot of effort.

"Brother Xuan, it's better to put these gifts back on the carriage. We're just getting together for a meal today, so there's no need to waste so much time."

"There is nothing good, just some common small objects."

That's what he said, but Ming Rou knew it would not be that simple, and Ming Hongxuan was very stubborn, so he had to tell him to put the things on the bench.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Ming Hongxuan felt a lot more at ease in his heart.

When it was time to eat, everyone sat down together. Ming Hongxuan saw that there were everyone around him, and felt uncomfortable for a moment. After all, a young man like him rarely interacts with others on weekdays. Now he suddenly enters Only when I sat down did I realize that there were only three or four of my muddy legs, and it was inevitable that I would feel uncomfortable for a while.

But these people were all guests invited by Mingrou, and Xu Qionghua and the others seemed to be familiar with it, so they had nothing to say, and endured the awkwardness in their hearts and picked up chopsticks to eat.

Today is Mingrou's birthday, so it is inevitable to take turns to congratulate her, and then Mother Zhong comes to joke again.

"Ah Rou has reached Jiji's age now, and someone will come to propose marriage in the future. I see that the son of the head of the village next door is a good one. Maybe Madam will help you pull the red line."

As soon as Zhong Tiantian heard this, he immediately became one head and two big, and hurriedly said to his mother: "Ah Rou is not in a hurry, besides, the consent of the elders must be sought for marriage matters, so don't meddle in it."

Mother Zhong was astonished and said, "Are Arou's parents still alive? If not, Qiuniang is the elder, so I just want to talk to Qiuniang."

Seeing the mother and daughter arguing, Ming Rou didn't want to be bothered by such trifles in the future, so she said: "The elder is still alive, I'm afraid my sister can't be a scholar."

The answer was vague, but it didn't say whether the father or the mother was there.

Those who knew the matter just bowed their heads silently and did not make a sound. The Zhong family who didn't know saw Mingrou move out of the family, but they didn't hear the details of the reason.

And Ming Hongxuan at the side heard Ming Rou's reply to Zhong Mu, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, he swept away the decadent look just now, and his whole person became happy.
