Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

The next day, He Daqing got up and acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to go to Chen Xueru's place.

Now is the time to get to know the taste of the food. If you don't see me for a while, I feel like something is missing.

As for Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady's family, let them deal with it on their own.

When I arrived at the silk shop, as soon as I walked in, I saw a young man talking to Chen Xueru behind the counter.

Chen Xueru turned her head impatiently and ignored him.

He Daqing walked over and said, "Xue Ru, what's wrong?"

When Chen Xueru saw He Daqing, she smiled happily and said, "It's okay, I just met a nasty rogue."

Fan Youjin looked at He Daqing and said arrogantly, "Who are you? Did you call her Xueru?"

Then he turned to Chen Xueru and said, "Who is he? Why does he call you Xueru?"

Chen Xueru said smugly, "Didn't I tell you, he's my man. Don't bother me anymore. My man is not easy to talk to."

He Daqing also looked at this man who was jumping up and down with a smile on his face. I don't know why he is so arrogant?

Fan Youjin said angrily: "When did you have a man? How come I didn't know? Don't think I will back off just because you find someone casually."

He Daqing saw that he was talking excitedly, so he pulled Chen Xueru over and kissed her on the lips. Then he said to Fan Youjin, "Do you believe it now?"

Fan Youjin looked at Chen Xueru, whose face was red but who did not object. Then he looked at He Daqing and shouted, "Well, Chen Xueru, you are teasing me, right? I see you don't want to run this shop anymore, right? Okay, you wait!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left angrily.

He Daqing looked at Chen Xueru. Chen Xueru lowered her head and said, "His name is Fan Youjin, and he is the secretary of this street office. He is also in charge of our small public-private partnership shops."

"He kept pestering me after I got divorced. Finally, I had no choice but to ask him to bring the money to me so I could consider it. But he never did. He even wanted to continue pestering me. So I scolded him and ignored him. But he came again a few days later. It's killing me."

After hearing this, He Daqing secretly took note of this gentleman.

He said to Chen Xueru, "It's okay. I'm here for you. If there's anything you can't solve in the future, just tell me. I'll help you teach him a lesson."

Chen Xueru looked at He Daqing's arm and said, "Actually, I just don't want to make things too awkward with him. After all, they are from the street office. All our small shops are under their management now. It would be troublesome if they come to cause trouble every day."

He Daqing scratched her nose and said, "Don't worry, he won't bother you again."

After hearing this, Chen Xueru pulled him aside and said, "Don't mess around. It's not worth it for such a person."

"It's okay, I'm not the kind of person who messes around."

After that, He Daqing said, "Xue Ru, I see your store has no business now, why are you still open? Why don't you close it and have a good rest?"

Chen Xueru also said with some sadness: "This is a legacy from my ancestors, I have to protect it. Besides, I have nothing to do now, I can kill time in the shop every day. I don't know what to do if I'm not in the shop."

He Daqing stroked her hair and said, "You will be busy in the future and won't have time to take care of the shop. What will you do then?"

"What can I do?"

"Silly boy, after we get married you will have to give birth to eight or ten children for me. How will you find the time to come to the shop then?"

"Go away, you are such a scoundrel! Do you really think I am a sow? But what you said is true. The shop is not making money now anyway. I will ask the street office in a few days. If they want it, let them run it. If no one wants to run it, we will just close it."

He Daqing also agreed and said: "Okay, then we can hand over the store to the street office and let them rent it out."

After saying this, He Daqing said, "I will go find the matchmaker Wang you mentioned and ask her to come to your place to propose marriage. And by the way, let her pick a date for us."

Chen Xueru said happily, "Why don't you go? What are you wasting time on here?"

After saying that, he pushed He Daqing out.

He Daqing pushed his cart and asked in the alley next door for a long time before he found the matchmaker Wang that Chen Xueru mentioned.

She also lived in a large compound, and her home looked very tidy.

After hearing He Daqing's request, matchmaker Wang felt that this was just a gift to herself. The two of them had already discussed everything, so she just went over to go through the motions and see what the date was. This job was easy.

Because Chen Xueru was the only one at home, matchmaker Wang did not follow the old rules and just asked He Daqing to buy some things.

He Daqing rode his bike to the department store, went from upstairs to downstairs, and bought a watch for Chen Xueru, and some snacks.

He Daqing didn’t know what else to buy. He would buy it when he needed it later.

Taking the things, he went to Chen Xueru's home with Matchmaker Wang.

Since both of them can make the decision, they can save money on the bride price and just let the matchmaker choose the date.

I don't know if this matchmaker Wang was pretending or was very professional. She carefully asked about the birth dates of the two people. She also calculated carefully for a while before deciding that the nearest good date would be a week later.

Although these two people were very anxious, a week was still tolerable.

At noon, He Daqing cooked a table of delicious dishes to entertain Matchmaker Wang. Matchmaker Wang happily told He Daqing that if He Daqing got married again in the future, she would be willing to come even if he didn't give her money.

This made Chen Xueru so angry that she almost smashed the plate. Even she herself doubted whether the matchmaker Wang she introduced was reliable?

After sending matchmaker Wang away, Chen Xueru was still a little upset, but He Daqing used the ancestral family rules to calm her down in less than an hour.

This made Chen Xueru sigh that the He family was indeed a big family. This set of ancestral family rules was really powerful!

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Chen Xueru took He Daqing to show off to her good sisters.

He Daqing was also helpless. There was no other way. He had to spoil his own woman. If she wanted to show off, he had to cooperate.

Pushing aside the thick door curtain of the tavern, Chen Xueru's boastful voice was heard.

"Xu Huizhen, hurry up and bring me some good wine and food. I'm happy today, so I'd like to invite everyone to drink."

He Daqing couldn't help but slap his forehead. He seemed to have seen this familiar scene in a video before the end of the world. But the other person was more domineering, saying directly, "Today's consumption will be paid by Mr. Zhao!"

He Daqing looked around the tavern and luckily, there were only three or four tables of guests. He wouldn't go bankrupt.

Xu Huizhen said happily: "Hey, did you pick up money today? So happy? Isn't this your temperament, Chen Xueru?"

Chen Xueru leaned on the counter and said to Xu Huizhen who was busy, "Then guess why I am so happy?"

Xu Huizhen looked at He Daqing, who was smiling and silent. Then she looked at Chen Xueru, who looked like she was nourished by love. She said with a smile, "I guess it must have something to do with someone, right?"

Chen Xueru herself did not notice any difference between her appearance after being moisturized and before. So she said, "What kind of guess is this? If you really guessed it, I will send a pot of wine to each table here. How about it?"

"Are you serious? Don't play dirty. Anyone who plays dirty is a puppy!"

Chen Xueru slapped the counter and said, "When have I, Chen Xueru, ever cheated? Ask everyone and they can prove it."

At that moment, a slightly plump old man in his sixties, well-dressed, said at a table near the counter, "That's right. Everyone in this street knows that Manager Chen is a trustworthy man. He deserves this honor from everyone."

As he said this, he gave a thumbs up.

Chen Xueru replied cheerfully, "Oh, Master Niu, you are really clear-headed. You are not like some people who question their customers while doing business. Can such people do business well?"

The people at the surrounding tables also complimented Chen Xueru with a smile, which made her extremely happy.

He Daqing thought that he should stay away from her now, otherwise he would be implicated when she was struck by lightning. He always remembered someone saying: "Don't be naive, because if you are naive, you will be struck by lightning easily!"

Xu Huizhen listened to her sister's bullying and said with a smile: "If you say so, I didn't intend to tell my brothers in Daqing, but now I really want to tell them."

When Chen Xueru heard this, she asked nervously, "What do you want to say?"

"Then it depends on whether you are good enough or not?"

Chen Xueru didn't know what she wanted to say. The key point was that this sister knew too much. They talked about everything. She even knew about her bed-wetting when she was a child. How could she live like a human being if she told this out?

So she quickly smiled and said, "Hey, isn't it just a few pots of wine? I'm happy today, so I'll give each table a pot. Let's be happy together."

Hearing this, everyone in the tavern cheered. Niu Ye said, "Boss Chen, you haven't said anything happy yet? Tell us so that we can all be happy together."

Chen Xueru stopped pretending. She pulled He Daqing, who had been silent, and said, "Everyone, I, Chen Xueru, got engaged today. We're getting married next week. This is my man, He Daqing!"

He Daqing also clasped his fists and said to everyone: "Hello, neighbors, I am Xueru's man. Thank you all for taking care of her over the years. I will toast to everyone one by one later."

Uncle Niu happily rubbed the walnuts in his hands and shouted, "This is a great event. Everyone knows that our shopkeeper Chen is a flower in our Zhengyang Sect. It's a good deal for you. You should have a few more drinks later."

The others were also expressing their congratulations.

Chen Xueru stood beside He Daqing with a happy face, her mouth corners curled up with a smile.

He Daqing also replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Niu, we won't go home until we are drunk today. The wine is on me."

Suddenly, there was a great deal of excitement below, with people cheering loudly. It would be a waste not to drink the free wine.

Xu Huizhen also poured some wine and handed it over, saying, "Then I congratulate you two! This bottle of wine is for you two."

"Hmph, you know what's going on!"

After that, Chen Xueru took the wine and sat on Niu Ye's table. He Daqing also sat down.

Xu Huizhen served them both some side dishes.

He Daqing held up the wine glass and said, "Master Niu, you are free to do as you please. I will drink first!"

Having said that, he drank a glass of wine.

Niu Ye also happily picked it up and drank it in one gulp. He said, "You are a good kid. You are not a simple person at first glance. It will be a blessing for Manager Chen to follow you."

He Daqing clasped his fist towards Mr. Niu and said, "Then I'll borrow your good words!"

At this time, Xu Huizhen also served a small pot of wine to each table, a small porcelain pot that weighed only half a pound.

He Daqing held the wine glass and went to every table to drink.

Chen Xueru said worriedly: "Daqing, don't drink too much. Drink less."

This amount of wine was nothing to He Daqing. Moreover, he still had space. He could put the wine glass to his lips and put the wine into space with just a thought. So he would not be afraid even if there were ten times more people, let alone seven or eight people here.

He sat down and said to Chen Xueru, "It's okay. I'm happy today."

Niu Ye also gave a thumbs up and said, "It's better to be young. Unlike me, I am old and can't drink anymore. But I still like this. I can't fall asleep if I don't drink a few cups every day. Haha~"

He Daqing could tell that this Mr. Niu was not a simple person. He was probably from a wealthy family.

So he replied: "You look strong and healthy now. And there are very few people who live as clearly as you do now."

Niu Ye laughed and said, "That's right. Now I just drink a little wine and take a walk every day. I don't think too much about it anymore."

Just like that, a few people started drinking and chatting over there.
