Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Shi Ying made a face.

Finally, Shi Jingke couldn't bear it anymore, took off his shoes and threw them away.

Shi Ying dodged and swayed from side to side triumphantly.

"I can't beat you. I'm angry that you have white hair on your beard."

Then Shi Ying made a face again and ran away.

Shi Jingke was about to ask Mama Xia to take legal action when Lin Shu stepped forward to comfort her.

"Uncle, Shu'er is coming home today. Please forgive your cousin for Shu'er's sake. Ying'er is just a little naughty. Shu'er will persuade her for you later."

Shi Jingke put his hands behind his back and his face looked like a bitter gourd.

"Shu'er, you don't know that you have only been married for three days, and Ying'er has turned everyone upside down in the house. I don't know what happened. It was spread that Mr. Liu was beaten by Ying'er during the blind date. As a result, the original appointment yesterday The good matchmaker didn't come, and the matchmaker helped introduce him later. When I heard that Shi Ying waved her hands quickly, your aunt and I were so angry that we didn't even have a good meal yesterday."

Shi Muze and Sun also sighed repeatedly, expressing that they could not control their younger sister.

"Shu'er, Ying'er always only listens to your words. Yesterday, your cousin-in-law came into the house to persuade her, and she kicked her out before even a stick of incense."

"Uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​don't have to worry. I'll persuade Ying'er and Mother Lin to bring the gifts I gave you later."

Su Yigang and Lin Shu had just gotten married, and it was not convenient to interfere in the Shi family's affairs, so he went to move things with Mother Lin and Mother Xia.

Hearing Lin Shu call Mama Lin, Su Yi took the gifts for Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi and gave them to Lin Shu.

"Shu'er, look at these two boxes to see if they are for your uncle and aunt."

"It's these two boxes." Lin Shu packed the boxes herself, so she knew what was inside without opening them.

"Uncle, this is the silver food box I made. There are four boxes inside, which can be used to put different food. Once the lid is closed, this sheepskin bag can be put on the outside to keep it warm. In the future, uncle will go to morning and put it inside. Hot food can be eaten on the way or while waiting.”

This food box was made by Lin Shu based on the memory of her previous life. At that time, in order to solve the problem of Xiao Yan's stomachache when he was too late to eat in the morning, he specially asked someone to design such a food box.

Shi Jingke took the silver food box and sheepskin bag.

"Shu'er has spent a lot of money. I'm afraid this box will cost hundreds of taels of silver! You have just gotten married and have no income. You need to spend money everywhere. Take it back! Don't waste money." Shi Jingke said distressedly.

"What did uncle say? Shu'er is filial to you, not to mention that her parents left a lot of money. With the dowry you gave her, Shu'er is already much better off than most women. Uncle, you can accept it with confidence. I and I My husband and my aunt have discussed that when the weather gets warmer next spring, we will rent a shop to sell snacks."

"Master, Shu'er has said so, just accept it! From now on, I will ask Mama Xia to prepare food in advance every day, so that you will not come back every morning and complain that you are hungry."

"Okay, okay, I will accept it first."

Lin Shu took another box from Su Yi and motioned to Su Yi to bring in other gifts.

"Auntie, these are the knee pads that Shu'er sewed for you. Your cold legs will get cold in the winter. When it snows at the end of the new year, you can tie them to your knees and your legs will not be cold."

Mrs. Shi took the knee brace and looked at the stitches carefully.

"Shu'er is still very careful, Mrs. Sun, look at your cousin's needlework. It's getting more and more meticulous. I'm afraid she's almost surpassing you."

Sun took the kneepad and examined it carefully for a while.

"My cousin is making great progress in needlework. The pattern on this knee pad is very smooth. My cousin will be very lucky in the future."

"My aunt and cousin are so complimentary. Shu'er learned her needlework from you. It's not as exaggerated as you said."

"Shu'er is so humble. You can make a lot of money by doing needlework." Sun said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law is right. Shu'er embroidered two handkerchiefs in the past two days. Mother Lin took them and sold them. After excluding the cost of fabric and needlework, she made more than thirty taels."

After Lin Shu married Xiao Yan in the previous life, the regular clothes that Xiao Yan and Mrs. Hou wore were all made by Lin Shu herself. At first, Mrs. Hou disliked the style and patterns made by Lin Shu, so Lin Shu She deliberately learned a skill from a tailor who specialized in making clothes for wealthy families, and now it has become a way for Lin Shu to make a living.

"I think Shu'er doesn't need to open a dim sum shop in the future, but can directly open a tailor shop to sell fabrics and ready-made clothes at the same time. She can also provide door-to-door services to high-end households like those tailor shops outside. Maybe it will make more money than a dim sum shop."

"What my uncle said is that it's just that opening a tailor shop is more expensive than opening a pastry shop, and selling clothes requires accumulating popularity. Shu'er thought about opening a pastry shop first, selling pastries during the day, and then returning to embroider handkerchiefs to sell at night. Once she has the capital, Open a cloth shop again."

Knowing that Lin Shu had plans for her future, Shi Jingke and his wife felt much more at ease. Then Lin Shu took out the gifts for Shi Muche, Sun and Shi Jinchen, and showed everyone the snacks she wanted to sell.

Everyone present was shocked. They knew Lin Shu could make snacks, but when Lin Shu placed the exquisite snacks in front of them, they couldn't believe their eyes.

"Shu'er, when did you learn this skill?" Mrs. Shi asked.

"Aunt, I met my aunt when we went to Shangshu Mansion for a wedding banquet two years ago, so Shu'er took advantage of the free time in the past two days to think about it by herself. Let's try it for Shu'er first. If possible, Shu'er will sell these snacks in the future. The raw materials are also very simple. When the time comes, my aunt and cousin can invest some capital and we can make money together."

"Mom, when Shu'er mentioned it to me originally, I just thought it was a joke that Shu'er said on a whim, but now it seems that Shu'er had a plan." Mrs. Sun happily said to Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Sun's The dowry shop only makes dozens of taels a month, and since I have a dowry girl, I can't save much money every month.

Although the Shi Mansion also had a shop that sold drinks, it was barely enough to support the Shi family. Plus, they had to give gifts to other families every year, so they couldn't save much money.

I originally left 8000 taels in order to recruit a son-in-law for Lin Shu and Shi Ying, so I gave Lin Shu [-] taels and had three thousand taels left. In a place as big as the capital, three thousand taels is sometimes not enough for a young lady and his wife from a wealthy family to buy a couple. Head and face.

Today, Lin Shu showed everyone the dim sum she made, which gave Mrs. Shi and Mr. Sun confidence in opening a dim sum shop.

After a while, the people in the room divided into two waves. The men were discussing court affairs in the study, and the women were discussing business matters in the hall.

Until lunch was over, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Sun were still chatting with Lin Shu about the future.

Shi Ying saw that Lin Shu was not coming to pay attention to her. She occasionally pulled Mrs. Shi's hair and tugged on Mrs. Sun's sleeves, trying to attract Lin Shu's attention.
