The husband's son-in-law

Su Jiaying didn't take it to heart--my cousin is powerful and capable than him, this is the truth, and he also knows that Boss Liu is doing it for his own good, but he is not reconciled and always wants to try.

"I'm not saying I'm looking for Mr. Gu's appearance and character, it's just the same."

Su Jiaying's original words.

Willow never persuaded her, and later wrote on the letter with a little distress: Jiaying had an idea in her heart, and she made up her mind that if she didn’t let him do it, she would not be happy with her appointment, so she wouldn’t hold grudges against me. His temperament is all in my favor, but he is a bit stubborn, he is just as old, and he says he is the same, but in fact, he naturally wants to find someone who can take the imperial examination and become an official, treat him well, and live with Meimei without taking concubines or being an asshole of.

I said it's so little, what if the bet didn't succeed?Even if I have the backing of you with the help of old Yan Guanwei, how can I, an outsider, manage the matter of concubines and housekeepers?It has spread to the outside world, but we are not, I am meddling in other people's family affairs, and he is just a wife who is not virtuous, generous, and jealous.

After listening, Jiaying said that he didn't care, he thought about it, but he didn't live by thinking about it, he was in that house all day, facing those bullshit things, coming and going, how could he not feel bitter...

Liu Shu's letter was full of sincerity, and Li Zhouzhou could feel Xiao Shu's concern for Jiaying's marriage, but he knew before he finished reading that Xiao Shu couldn't persuade her to go back to Jiaying.

Sure enough, Liu Shu wrote in the last letter: I have said everything, my mouth is peeling, and there is nothing I can do. He has become determined after eating the weight, so I can only ask a matchmaker to find him, try to choose a person with good character, and inquire from many sources.well.

Brother Zhou Zhou, it would be great if you were here, I think you are not as good as you.

Li Zhouzhou wrote back to say this first, writing: Xiaoshu, you see people are also amazing, you have to believe in yourself.You must have been muttering in your heart about the poor and poor scholar last time, thinking there was something wrong with it, but you couldn’t tell, and outsiders urged you to make up your mind, Xiaotao is too old to pick, this person is a scholar Yes, Xiaotao will be consummated when she gets married.

If there are too many words like this, it will definitely affect it. I think it is almost the same, and indeed, there is nothing perfect in life. If you always have to choose one, then you should explain things clearly and let Su Jiaying choose and make up her own mind. Life will be better in the future Bad is also his fault.

After answering this paragraph, Li Zhouzhou picked up the letter and read it again. Xiao Shu said how mischievous his second son Xiao Hei was. His brother put it on, Dabai found something wrong when he wrote, it must be good ink, and it has a fragrance - I can't smell it, they all smell bad, and Xiao Hei even went to his brother to show off and beg for praise ...

Lao Yan's face turned darker, but Xiao Hei is not afraid of Lao Yan, Xiao Hei is afraid of me, Da Bai is afraid of his father, the house is full of chaos all day long, Lao Yan said that he wants to teach Xiao Hei enlightenment, Xiao Hei urinates in his father's study first up.

willow:……

Dabai was frightened at the time, and quickly stood up to clean up the mess for his younger brother, apologized to his father, and told his father not to get angry.

Xiao Hei slumped on the chair, crying.

Strictly believe that there is no way, neither beating nor talking—Xiao Hei is only a little over one year old, so he doesn't understand the truth.But he would steal the inkstone and hold it for his brother.Willow didn't even know what to say.

"I shouldn't have been called Xiao Hei at the beginning, and I was so angry that I almost became a black-faced god." When Liu Shu thought of what happened to Xiao Hei when he wrote the letter, his face also became dark and dark.

This stinky boy.

Yan Jingxin, who was reading a book, looked sideways at the muttering little tree, and said, "I don't blame you either."

"..." Liu Shu stumbled, turned his head and said fiercely, "Of course it's not my fault, it's all your fault. If you weren't a big black-faced god, why would you have such a small one?"

After finishing speaking, continue to write to Brother Zhou Zhou.

I'm good-tempered, quick at work, and smart, so Xiao Hei's face looks a little bit like mine, and looks a little better. Other dogs don't have a temper like me!

Li Zhouzhou read the letter, and Xiao Shu's angry and righteous appearance of throwing the pot was vivid on the paper. He laughed aloud when he read it, and wrote his new family affairs, Fubao's Cuju competition, cheering team, etc., as well as Su Jiayu's decision. married.

When writing about Jiayu's marriage, I couldn't help but think of Su Shiyi and Liu Tao, but the two of them haven't made up their minds yet, they just have some eyebrows, so I temporarily press the button and don't write until it's really decided, so as to save Xiaoshu In a hurry.

After writing this, the sky darkened before he knew it, so Li Zhouzhou paused, after packing up, there was no rush to reply, the next time the caravan left was more than a month away.

Oil lamps were lit in the Rain Courtyard, Brother Lin hugged the pillow and went to knock on the door of Brother Wang Jian's room.

"I knew you would come."

Before he raised his arm and knocked, the inner door opened first. Wang Jian was wearing a loose flowing silk round-neck nightgown with his hair draped over his head. When he saw Brother Lin at the door, he smiled and said, "Come in."

"Brother, your dress is beautiful."

"I just made it out of leftover streamer silk. It's spacious and comfortable to sleep in." Wang Jian said, "I'm a rough clothes maker, as you know."

Brother Lin knew what elder brother meant when he heard it, and said: "I didn't make you happy, and I praised your clothes for being beautiful, but I didn't get the right place because of flattery."

"You know, I'll take another thin quilt for you to sleep in, and it's still cold at night." Wang Jian went to get the thin quilt from the closet.

Brother Lin crawled to the side of the bed, put his own pillow, was afraid of being patted, very skilled, sat without lying down, turned his head and said to the elder brother under the bed: "I see your skirt, the colors are mixed together. It’s also good-looking, thinking about whether it can be spelled out to be natural and good-looking, so that the leftover material of the clothes will have a place to go.”

"That's good, it's cheaper, people want more." Wang Jian took the quilt to Brother Lin.

Brother Lin shook off, and got into bed by himself.Wang Jian also went to bed, did not blow out the oil lamp, and talked for a while, Brother Lin would go to relieve himself before going to bed.

"Brother, when are you going to ship the goods next time?"

"It will be mid-July at the earliest, and most of the coconuts will be shipped out. Now that the road has been repaired, some of the remaining coconuts can be sent to Wuzhou. The boss has this idea, but I don't need to make a trip." Wang Jian said.The big head is still the Central Plains.

Brother Lin nodded, turned sideways, and said, "We have a new guest at our house, and he's from Beijing."

"I heard that it's called Rong Ye."

"I haven't seen it yet, but I heard it looks pretty good."

Wang Jian didn't care much about people's looks, but seeing Brother Lin's appearance, he said, "Don't look at people's appearance, just agree to what he says, don't be tricked into going to Beijing."

"There are more than 20 people, and he said that if you don't have a wife, you don't have a wife? Maybe there are wives and concubines in Beijing."

Brother Lin shook his head, "Brother, I don't have that kind of thought." He said with a hesitant and bulging face.Wang Jian saw that something was wrong, so he downplayed brother Lin and said, "Beijing is farther away, but if he doesn't return to Beijing, let us stay in Zhaozhou, and with his good looks, he will join your family—"

"No, no." Brother Lin's head was almost as big as a rattle drum, and then he saw Brother Wang Jian looking at him, and when he had finished speaking, his bulging face softened, obviously there were only two people in the room, He stretched his arms and looked outside, and when there was no one there, he said in a low voice and mysteriously: "I don't think that Mr. Rong from Beijing is a Mr.."

Wang Jian was surprised, "Isn't it your son?" Brother Lin seldom gossips about people behind his back, only those who are close to him chat a few words, and he doesn't say that there is no need to make up nonsense.

"Xiao Qi, the servant brought by Mr. Rong, some sisters in our house always ask Xiao Qi about Mr. Rong, but Xiao Qi just falters and haws, and once said that he slipped his mouth, so that the big guys don't pay attention. The young master is—he stopped in a hurry, and said that he had no such intentions."

This is also a small talk, so Wang Jian said: "Maybe this servant is upright and knows that his young master has a wife and concubine, so let the maids in the house stop thinking about it first."

"It was the boss who helped me change the wound medicine first, and then a girl was changed."

"Young Master Jingui in Beijing may think that the servant is clumsy." Wang Jian replied, but why did the boss help in the first place, and Rong Ye, no matter how precious, can surpass the boss in their Zhaozhou territory?

Master Gu doesn't mind either?

"Was your excellency at home?"

Brother Lin showed a slight smile on his soft face, Elder Brother also thought something was wrong, and said, "Your Excellency was there at that time."

How good is the boss with the boss, whoever the boss is close to, the adult will be jealous, the boss even helped a foreigner with medicine, how can this adult be willing?

"...How old is Rong Ye?" Wang Jian asked more seriously this time.

Brother Lin actually didn't know very well, so he said, "Twenty is two, right? Or is there three?"

23 None of them got married or married. If he was a brother, he would not be married at this age. Wang Jian also had worries about the future and his marriage——

"Speaking so much, have you brought something to see tomorrow?" Wang Jian asked.

Brother Lin wanted to respond, but he yawned first, and covered his mouth with his hands slowly, Wang Jian knew that Brother Lin was sleepy, and said: "Let's go, go relieve your hands first, and come back to sleep."

"Well, good." Brother Lin agreed, but the sleepiness came quickly, and his eyelids kept twitching.

Wang Jian picked himself up. If he didn't go now, he would have to hold back after lying down for a while, and then he was afraid of the dark, so he would definitely die when he went.It's better to just go up now and wake up until dawn.

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them woke up, washed and washed, and had breakfast. Wang Jian packed up some gifts and wanted to send them to the front yard. Brother Lin said to wait, and he made some pastries in the small kitchen and sent them over.

"Alright." Wang Jian waited.

After Brother Lin's cakes came out of the pot, picked them up and put them on a plate, the two went to the front yard together.When we arrived at the place, the gate of the courtyard was open, and the housewife who cleaned the house greeted warmly, saying, "Guard Wang and Brother Lin are here."

Old Zhong came out to see the situation when he heard the commotion, and he saw that he had a face, a little brother and a man, he couldn't make up his mind, he couldn't recognize him, it was Xiao Qi who saw it at a glance, and said with his grandfather: "Both are Brother, one of them is the king who took the goods."

Afterwards, the grandfather and grandson came out to say hello and asked what they were here for, and knowing that they were here to visit his young master, they went to pass it on.Lao Zhong was thinking that the young master might not see any visitors, but they were in other people's land, this steward Wang was very valued by Boss Li, if he refused, he would say it was more beautiful, the young master was still recovering from his injuries.

"Let it in."

Rong Ye said.

Wang Jian took Brother Lin into the courtyard. Every plant and tree in this courtyard belonged to Li Mansion, and the decoration and layout were not bad. The furniture in the house was the same color and carved with flowers in the courtyard behind them, but it was empty, with no furnishings. , and there is no smoke and fire to live in.

Just looking at it, Wang Jian knew that this Mr. Rong was different from them.

Brother Lin always said "Our Mansion" and he regarded Li Mansion as half of his family. Although he bought a yard outside and set up a home, but to him, the boss is his relative, as long as the boss doesn't drive him away Don't dislike him, this Li Mansion, he is also known as his family.

No, this is an outsider.

Rong Ye looked at the two brothers who came in, one with fair skin and a delicate face, dressed in elegant, cute and well-behaved clothes, not feminine, the other was tall, with a honey-colored skin and slightly slender eyes— —

This man-like brother looked at him.

"Steward Wang." Rong Ye nodded in greeting.

Wang Jian also nodded, "Master Rong."

Later, we didn't chat for too long, just a few words of politeness, and then Wang Jian put down his things and took Brother Lin out. Brother Lin was still amazed at the appearance of Young Master Rong. He had never seen such a good-looking person since he was born. .

"It's cold but different, I can't tell."

Wang Jian said: "Meng Jianyun is also cold, and this Young Master Rong is also cold."

Brother Lin shook his head and said it was different, but after listening to elder brother's comparison, he subdivided it and said, "I know! Meng Jianyun is cold, he has a cold face and a warm heart, and he has a good heart. Master Rong doesn't want us Get close, and reject the cold that is thousands of miles away."

"..." Wang Jian.

Meng Jianyun's coldness, where does it show that he wants the big guy to get close?

Brother Lin is a little fool.

"That's what I said, but I don't think Young Master Rong despises us and drives us away." Brother Lin said.

Wang Jian said: "This man has neither malice nor kindness towards us. He doesn't even understand himself. He looks desolate and smart, but he may be confused." He can only see this.

So he didn't stay long, and dragged Brother Lin away.

As for whether Young Master Rong is a brother or not, Wang Jian doesn't care now. He was originally worried about his future marriage, or was he influenced by the outside world's tongue - not getting married or getting married is like a monster.

So when I heard this Young Master Rong or brother, and 23 is not yet married, I felt a little bit like trying to relieve pressure from other people, but I just saw this person, this person has no fighting spirit in life, he is not as good as him, why would he want to Find balance with this person?

Each is their own life.

Wang Jian thought about it. Whether Rong Ye got married or not had nothing to do with him.

The next few days became busy, Wang Jian left early and returned late.

The stewed boiled shop opened a separate small shop to make iced drinks. Zhaozhou people bring their own bowls, put some milk, crushed ice, and jams of various flavors, and a bowl costs six yuan. However, there are few things, and it is the hottest time at noon every day. Sell ​​it.

There is also a store at the west end of Baishan Street, which is owned by Li Zhouzhou. It used to sell things from the north, but now it sells clothes, headbands and jewelry made by brother Lin Liutao. Now there is a plaque on the door. It's called Xiaoyu Grocery Store.

Li Zhouzhou privately wanted to give this shop to Brother Lin as a dowry, but he knew that Brother Lin didn't want it, so he didn't mention it, but let Brother Lin take care of the business, the name was given by Brother Lin himself——Listen When the boss asked him to name him, he was surprised and happy for a long time.

After thinking about it for three days, I decided on the name.

Wang Jian heard something ridiculous at the time, Brother Lin said seriously, my name has the word rain on it, and Wang Jian asked why it is not called Xiaolin Grocery Store?

The name Xiaoyu is simple and easy to remember, and everyone is kind when they come to buy things.

The shop sells everything, and most of the cabinets on the north side of the wall were made by Brother Lin himself. Later, with Liu Tao as his helper, there were even more, and now cold drinks are served.

People in Zhaozhou, who are far away from the Luzhu shop, go to Xiaoyu grocery store to buy it at noon. The price is the same, and the things used are also the same.

Later, new ones were added one after another, some crushed peanuts, melon seeds, and various fruits were cut into cubes, some ice cubes were put in, and the people bought them back for six yuan, and they could also put cheap fruits in them. You can get a pot for just a penny, and the whole family can enjoy the cool air and relieve their cravings.

One of the workers in Xiaoyu's grocery store is a girl, and the other is a brother. They are both sixteen or seventeen years old. They live nearby, and they can go home for a meal at noon. The two bosses are good people, they never criticize people, and they can also learn a craft - making skirt embroidery.

There are still fruits to eat on weekdays, and the boss will give money during the New Year.

There are so many jobs that people think about and want to do.

"Boy, a bowl of ice, I didn't bring a bowl, do you have it here?"

Someone came to buy ice.

The little brother said yes, and started to make it. He shaved ice, poured milk, sprinkled fruit and nuts, and passed the bowl. The man gave a copper coin and put it on the table, asking: "Is there any cold water?"

"Yes." The little brother knew that it was going to be poured in and mixed, so there would be too much. His shop boiled cold and boiled mung bean soup for himself, so he asked, "Do you want cold and boiled, or mung bean soup?" Soup?"

"It's cool and white—" the man hurriedly asked again, "Does mung bean soup cost money?"

The little brother said with a smile: "No, our little boss is a nice person. He burns it and drinks it himself. If it's gone, it's gone. You just happened to hit it."

"Then mung bean soup."

The little brother made a bowl of cold mung bean soup, and brought another bowl for them to pour it over.The ice buyer was so embarrassed, he took the bowl and said, "I'll return it to you later."

"Okay, no hurry."

The accent of this person does not sound like that of Zhaozhou, but he is from the north. The younger brother saw that the ice buyer took the bowl and went to find his companion near the wall not far away. There were two carts parked there, and his companion was looking at the goods.

On a hot day, it is rare to encounter ice water, so I took a sip carefully.

"Shu Tan, why is there ice in Zhaozhou in summer? If I hadn't heard people say it, I wouldn't have dared to think about it. Why should I let it go? We are not far from Zhaozhou, and it doesn't seem to be frozen in winter."

The other person naturally didn't know either.

"Look, this Zhaozhou is better than our prefecture."

"If the road hadn't been repaired, we wouldn't know the difference until we arrived in Zhaozhou."

The two are from other places, and their accents are similar but different.There are many shops on Baishan Street, and the two of them didn't stop in front of the curtains of other shops, and they didn't block the road, but they talked quite loudly, and there was no business at noon in the hot weather, so they chatted with the shopkeeper as soon as they strolled around.

Where did they come from?what to sell

The two were still on guard.

The shopkeeper just laughed, "Even if you carry gold and silver, no one dares to steal and cheat you on the Zhaozhou territory. Besides, the store where you just bought ice, Boss Li's shop, how dare you buy it in Li Boss's shop?" Don’t worry about doing these things in front of your house.”

"Boss Li? Boss Li from Zhaozhou Shang."

"Isn't it?" The shopkeeper raised it proudly, "How many people surnamed Li can we have in Zhaozhou?"

Now the two outsiders were less wary, they were people from a prefecture in Xinzhou, and there were really some goods in the cart - otherwise it wouldn't be worth pushing the cart all the way to Zhaozhou to sell.I used to send it to Zhaozhou for sale. Later, I heard people from the prefecture say that Zhaozhou is rich and rich. If you walk a few steps away, you might be able to sell it at a good price. Go to Zhaozhou and try it. Isn’t it building cement roads now? It’s not as good as it used to be. Tossed.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is on your car?" The shopkeeper became curious.

The two looked at each other, and raised their guard again.

The shopkeeper's curiosity was aroused, and when he saw these two people hiding, he immediately went to Xiaoyu's grocery store diagonally opposite, and said, "Boss Xiao Li, Boss Xiao Liu, please do me a favor. Come and witness, I Really curious, no bad intentions."

Li Lin and Liu Tao were invited out.

The two of them had just bought ice at the grocery store. The owner of this small shop was friendly and generous, saying that he didn’t even need money to send mung bean soup. thing.

The shopkeeper took a look, what are the black and dark things, messy, wrinkled, smelly, like grass, fungus?

"Ganoderma lucidum, velvet grass, Tianqi..."

It's all medicine.

"I know the ganoderma lucidum, it's more expensive, so there's a pile of weeds—" What did the shopkeeper think, there are only a few ganoderma lucidum in a sack, what a treasure.

Afraid that people would despise their goods, the two quickly explained: "Don't look at this fluffy grass, which is dusty and smelly. It's not a weed. This thing is good. Who in our village was injured and lost his flesh. The fluffy grass Pounded into mud and smeared on, the wound healed quickly, and there were no scars."

"Yes, there is also Tian Qicao, use this when the bleeding continues."

"and this……"

When Brother Lin heard that velvet grass can heal wounds and remove scars with raw meat, he immediately said, "Then I'll buy some."

Next to Liu Tao: ...

I didn't even ask the price, just bought it like this, Brother Lin, isn't he afraid of these two people's nonsense defrauding people of money?Brother Ke Lin was about to drop his tongue, so Liu Tao talked about the price, but luckily it wasn't very expensive, and the two of them were sincere.

"For medicinal materials, go south on this road. There is an alley at the third fork. Look for Zheng's Medical Center."

It was developed by Oda.

The two foreign surnames didn't think that buying ice could make a business, so they introduced them to the medical clinic, and immediately pushed the cart to try it out, but when they walked towards the road, they saw some carts and horses on the opposite side, all of which were wooden wheeled carts. But their wheels still have a black circle, which is different from them, and they don't make much noise when walking on the road.

I don't know what it is.

Zhaozhou is really novel and has never seen a lot.

Brother Lin bought the medicinal materials, and went back from work in the afternoon, and went to the boss's yard with sister Liu Tao first. Liu Tao talked about the outsider he met today, and Brother Lin bought the medicinal materials quickly, because it was not expensive.Brother Lin said: "I heard that these velvet grass can remove scars by raw meat."

When Li Zhou heard it on Monday, he knew that Brother Lin thought of Rong Ye, and this kid was kind-hearted.

"Okay, turn around and Doctor Oda is here, let him see it for Rong Ye to open."

Brother Lin's face froze for a moment.

Liu Tao laughed out loud, and explained to the boss: "He even led the two of them to Dr. Xiaotian's clinic today, and he bought these again, isn't it a bump?"

"I bumped into each other, but it was Brother Lin's intention, so it's not in vain." Li Zhouzhou also smiled to coax Brother Lin.

When Li Zhouzhou went to see Rong Ye in the front yard the next day, he told about it.

"...With velvet grass, you will heal quickly without leaving any scars." Li Zhouzhou said.

Rong Ye remembered meeting that beautiful little brother. He didn't care about the scars at first, but after listening to him, he saw Li Zhouzhou looking at him, "Well, I see, thank him for me."

"If you want to thank him, thank him in person." Li Zhouzhou refused with a smile, and said: "Rong Ye, you have already arrived in Zhaozhou, and you survived with all your might. If your injury heals, you will also get better."

It's not the same as hurting well and being kind to people.

Later, Li Zhouzhou left.

Rong Ye looked at the basket of fluffy grass on the table for a long time.
