[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

Aunt Feng noticed that her daughter's complexion had improved a lot in the past few days, and she often had a smile on her lips, which is a rare thing.Aunt Feng logically thought that Qingse had opened up, and finally she was able to regard marriage as a top priority like a normal boudoir girl.

But the strange thing is that Xi Qingse went out from time to time, and it took half a day to go, and he didn't let his servants follow him.Aunt Feng bumped into her once or twice, but her words were evasive and she couldn't get to the bottom of it, so she let her go.Anyway, as long as she can marry into the Li family or the Du family smoothly, it will be a matter of concern.

In just ten days, the matchmaker came back from Jianghua, but she brought back a piece of news that made Aunt Feng sigh.

Li Shuxuan just married his main wife a few days ago, a girl from childhood.That girl's identity is no more prominent than that of the Li family, the old man considered Li Shuxuan to be quite old, and it was time to take care of her, so he made her the main wife.

However, Wang Mazi's matchmaker said that the old man still hoped that the Xi family and the Li family could marry each other, and if Qingse was still willing to marry Li Shuxuan, then the position of the main house of the Li family could not be changed.

The old lady Xi meant the same thing as the old man.It's just that after talking to Xi Qingse, this girl was very determined, and for some reason she suddenly didn't want to marry Mrs. Du.I just said that I have thought a lot at home these days, and I feel nostalgic for this place. If I marry Jianghua, I will have to wait a year or two before returning to Ning, and the chance of returning to Ning is much smaller.The old lady is getting old, and she doesn't know which farewell will be a farewell forever. Qingse is unwilling to do such unfilial things for her own temporary benefit.Besides, a few days ago, she also heard rumors about Mr. Du outside, saying that he is a gentle and elegant young man who manages his family well. If he can follow him, he should have more than enough life in the future.Furthermore, what did Qingse say, prosperity and wealth are fleeting, and a stable life is what the heart wants.

When the words came to this point, even Mrs. Xi was moved to the point of tears by his sincere words, and Aunt Feng naturally had no objection.

Now that the marriage was settled, the old lady asked Granny Hu Ba to find an auspicious day, and she asked the servant to carry her, and went to Du's house in the town with Aunt Feng. Xi Qingse said she was shy, so she refused to go.Both in-laws are very satisfied with each other, even if there is a slight dissatisfaction, Mr. Du likes Miss Xi very much, and Qingse has identified this young master again, and the two sides make up for this slight dissatisfaction.

The big day is scheduled to be one month later, just five days away from New Year's Eve.The news was written in a letter and sent to Jiangning. Marrying a daughter is a big deal, so it is natural for her father to send it out by himself.

Two well-known big families in Taimen Town were about to tie the knot, and the happy event spread like wings in Taimen Town and several surrounding towns and villages. , It is widely recited after dinner and in the streets and alleys.

The days were tight, and the Xi family immediately began to prepare for a quiet marriage.No matter the dowry or etiquette, everything was properly prepared.The spacious courtyard is full of piles, and the cornices are wrapped with red silk, which is peaceful and festive.

Xi Wanxiang came out of the main hall holding the hand of his cousin's sister-in-law. There were a lot of things in the yard, and there was only a rough path left for people to walk.

Recently, the business of the bank has gradually slowed down. Although it is still a bit busier than before, it is still possible to sneak in a leisurely time and take the cousin out for a walk.Even if she would feel palpitations in front of her sister-in-law and would not dare to look directly into her quiet eyes, Wan Xiang would not like not having her sister-in-law by her side.The days to come are long, let’s talk about those shadowy worries and fears at that time, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge!

I went out early today, and the pine forests on both sides of the stone bridge were still covered with thick hoarfrost. The sun lazily shone on the white stones on the pine tops, making the air clear.

Wan Xiang dragged her sister-in-law and walked down the stone bridge. There was a pool of gravel beside the stream. Wan Xiang bent down to pick up a few thin flakes from the gravel. With a slight movement of her fingertips, she threw the flakes I went out, hey, I was lucky, I actually made three splashes - this is a new game that the two are passionate about recently, whoever splashes the most splashes has to invite the other person to eat delicious food, and the same can't be repeated.

Xi Wanxiang's original plan was to use this game to get her cousin to treat her to delicious food every day.At the beginning, her little calculations were really accurate. Yin Tang had never played this before, and every time the stone would sink with a "boom", while Wan Xiang could throw two or three splashes every time. I can't wait to put my tail up in the sky.Cengtang sister-in-law is good to eat, it tastes delicious, and the face that has been reduced a little is about to turn into balls again.

It's just that Xi Wanxiang didn't expect that the sister-in-law learned very fast, and it didn't take long before she could always hit one more splash than herself, no more, no less, exactly one more.

This meeting was no exception, Yin Tang took the stone flake from Wan Xiang's hand, and flicked it casually, the flake seemed to have grown feet, it jumped over the rushing water, splashing four splashes.

Damn really.

Xi Wanxiang puffed her cheeks, and wanted to play tricks in disbelief, but Yin Tang didn't give her this chance at all, so she took Wanxiang's hand without any explanation, turned around and said with a smile: "Little Wanxiang, hurry up and think about what to invite my sister-in-law to eat today." ah?"

Xi Wanxiang touched the few copper coins left in her purse: "..."

I don't dare to play anymore tomorrow, if I lose again, I can only serve myself to my cousin.

Tsk tsk, I'm going to cover my face, I'm so ashamed.Bah, what are you thinking!

Qian Zhuang recruited another little maid to wait on her, but she looked like she was [-] years old, and she was submissive.Li Sichun, who used to sweep the floor, was promoted to be a trainee steward because he did a lot of things, and when he saw the two of them, he bowed his back with a smile, which was quite similar to the old master Zhong.It's just that Miss Xi Er often ridiculed that name, he was always fond of spring, every time his name was called, Miss Xi Er didn't say anything down to business, so she laughed and laughed.

Yin Tang was counting the accounts in the counting room with abacus, and Xi Wanxiang racked his brains one by one, how to buy delicious food with the least amount of money.After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, and finally asked Li Sichun with a shy face to borrow ten copper coins.

Shaking the rare heavy purse in her hand, Xi Wanxiang walked alone on Dongxuan Street.

Getting ready for the New Year, the street is very lively with lights and festoons.The steaming steamed stuffed bun shop, the colorful rouge stall, and the Donggeer Cake Dumpling Shop are filled with white and round dumplings.Xi Wanxiang looked at and touched her face, then quickly shook her head and walked away.

Beside the ebony bridge is a century-old wine shop, the aroma of the wine is filled with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, rich and fragrant, so mellow that it seems to be intoxicating just by smelling it.

At the entrance of the restaurant, there is a white-bearded old man who is making sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Seeing that he has passed the ages, he has clear ears and eyesight, is kind and kind, and doesn't care about pedestrians.Xi Wanxiang felt that it was a novelty, so she looked at the old man for a while.

Wan Xiang helped make wine at home, the rice wine is sweet and slightly boozy, she likes it very much.She watched and thought, after a while, after the severe cold, the early plums will bloom.Since there is sweet-scented osmanthus wine, it must be possible to make plum blossom wine?With this in mind, Wan Xiang asked the old man carefully about the key points of making sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Seeing the little girl's serious questioning, the old grandfather who was soaking sweet-scented osmanthus, smiled and described all the details of making sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing.

It's a pity that I can't take notes. Xi Wanxiang can only jot down what the old man said in his head. His voice is not loud, and he has to prick his ears to hear clearly.

It was easy to remember, just as Xi Wanxiang was saying goodbye to the grandfather with a smile, a tall shadow fell beside her.

"How is Miss Xi?"

This deep male voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling Xi Wanxiang.When I looked up, I felt that the person coming was a little familiar, but after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't remember it at all.Anyway, she is not a good person, so Wan Xiang pretended not to know, and played a sloppy eye: "I don't know you, did you recognize the wrong person?" Saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

The man didn't know how to be flattering, so he grabbed Wan Xiang's arm with all his strength, causing Wan Xiang to glare at him, "Why are you arguing? Haven't you heard of men and women fighting against each other? If you don't let go, I'll call for help!" , I don’t have any money with me, just a dozen or so copper coins.” As he spoke, he threw a purse onto him.

The servant behind the man reacted faster than him, and pointed at Xi Wanxiang with his hips on his hips: "Stinky girl doesn't know how to flatter you, this is..."

"Go down." The man turned his head and glared at the boy, but the boy didn't say a word, so he could only stare and hold back.The man turned to Wan Xiang and smiled again, "Since we are going to be a husband and wife, Miss Xi doesn't seem to be able to justify her husband if she doesn't know me? Besides, last time you promised to give your bank a few days' grace, you agreed to my conditions, in black and white , Miss Xi is trying to deny it, right?"

Xi Wanxiang sprayed the man to death with a mouthful of salt soda. Seeing that this man looked good, he turned out to be a psychopath, and he randomly picked someone to be his wife in the street... Wait, it seemed more and more familiar, as if he had seen it before... …

Wait, isn't this the eldest son of the Du family!

Wait, wait, it seems that things are a bit complicated.

Husband? ?

When she was begging for money and making trouble at the bank that day, in order not to let her cousin pawn the jade bracelet, she made a contract with Mr. Du. If there is a one-month grace period, the bank will receive half of the Du family's annual income as a bonus.No wonder the last time I saw him looking at me was very uncomfortable.

Could it be that the love at first sight that Young Master Du said was referring to himself, not Qingse?

Thinking about it carefully, it is true that Qingse had just returned to Xi's house when he heard the news, how could he have this opportunity to let this young master fall in love with him?Mr. Du only knew that he was a girl from the Xi family, but he didn't know that the Xi family had two girls who were waiting for marriage.When Wang Mazi's matchmaker saw the two Miss Xi, she naturally had preconceived ideas in comparison, and pointed to the older and more handsome Xi Qingse.In the old days, there were not a few people who did not meet before marriage and were directly led into the bridal chamber. They also emphasized chastity, so they would not deliberately let the two date before marriage.

After quickly running through her thoughts in her mind, Xi Wanxiang felt...it was over.

Seeing that Ms. Xi went from disgust to shock, and then she wanted to cry without tears, and her face changed faster than flipping a book, Mr. Du was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with Ms. Xi?"

"No, no, no, no, I, I, I..." Xi Wanxiang's tongue was tied.

Seeing that Miss Xi turned pale with shock, Mr. Du thought that he had frightened her, so he let go.Taking advantage of this gap, Xi Wanxiang turned around and ran wildly. The purse was gone, and the copper coins were given to him. She had never run so fast in her life—except, of course, when she was chased by a mad dog here.

Cousin!Yaoshou!Xi Wanxiang said that she would never come here again, it was so scary every time.
