Chapter 1713 Getting fat (3)

On the day of Xiaonian'er, Juhua was woken up early by Xiaokui, who helped her wash and dress up. He also gave her a bowl of rice porridge and a piece of minced meat pie, and then coaxed her to the front yard. The son has gone.

When she arrived at the front yard, her father and mother were already waiting there. Ms. Cui looked at her daughter's dress, touched the tassels hanging from her hair, and told her, "When we get to Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion later, please don't do it." Speak casually, don't look around, and don't eat everything you see, lest you make people laugh..."

Juhua rolled her eyes: "Mom, if you are afraid that I will embarrass you, I'd better not go and stay at home."

"Okay, okay, mother, stop talking!"

Seeing that Ju Hua was not happy, Cui quickly stopped talking and helped her daughter gather her cloak. Then she asked Xiao Kui to support her and they walked outside together.

When they got outside, Shen Luming took a sedan, Juhua and Cui sat in a car, and set off to Wu Qingbo's mansion. Today is the New Year, and almost all the shops on the street are closed. Only a few are open, and they are deserted and empty.

Juhua looked at the street scene outside through the glass window and said to her mother: "Look at these business people, they are really obsessed with money. Those who celebrate the New Year are not willing to take a day off. Even if their shops are open, they will not be able to rest today." Who would go shopping?"

Ms. Cui was also looking outside. When her daughter said this, she exclaimed: "Oh, look, our shop is open too!"

When Juhua heard this, she opened the window and looked outside. Sure enough, she saw that her newly opened fur shop had opened its doors, put up a front, and was getting ready to do business!

The Shen family's fur shop opened more than ten days ago. Because Mr. Shen has lived in the north for many years, he knows a lot of wholesale dealers and can buy the best leather at the lowest price. Therefore, he is in the bustling capital of the capital. I took over a shop and opened a fur shop. Since it was the middle of winter and furs were in season, the business was very prosperous. It had only been open for ten days and I had already made more than two hundred taels of silver.

The shopkeeper of the fur shop was none other than Li Jing. After that young man was found by Mr. Shen, he was placed as shopkeeper in the newly opened fur shop of the Shen family. Mr. Shen observed him carefully for a few days and then safely handed over the management of the shop to him. .

Li Jing was in charge of the fur shop's money transfer, and he was fair and cautious when entering and leaving money. Everyone who came and went liked him. Mr. Shen secretly checked the station several times and found that there was nothing wrong. Therefore, he liked him more and more.

At this moment, Mrs. Cui saw that he refused to rest even during the Chinese New Year, and her heart became more and more fond of him. Said: "This kid is too honest. Your father told them yesterday that they would have a rest today, but he still had to open the door for business. Even if it is open for business today, he may not be able to make money. What about him? Why bother?"

While sighing, he ordered the coachman to stop the car temporarily, and sent him to give Li Jing a few taels of silver, asking him to close the shop and spend the New Year in peace.

Not long after, the coachman came back, followed by Li Jing, who was wearing a cotton robe. Li Jing came to the carriage of Mrs. Shen and Ju Hua, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, madam, for the reward, today is a young year. Madam, please pay homage to Xiaosheng!"

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of the carriage.

Before he could kowtow, Mrs. Shen said sternly: "A man has gold under his knees. Li Sheng is a scholar. Don't you know this truth? Your parents gave you life, are you just using it to kneel down and worship others?"

Li Sheng said calmly: "My wife said that there is gold under the man's knees. Xiaosheng naturally knows it. However, Xiaosheng's worship today is not someone else, but Xiaosheng's elders. It is because Xiaosheng is in need of three meals a day and is in dire straits." The elders who gave Xiaosheng hope when he helped me, so even if everyone in the world accuses Xiaosheng of not worshiping, Xiaosheng still wants to worship the master and his wife."

After saying that, he raised his hands and kowtowed respectfully three times to the carriage. Ms. Cui was sitting in the carriage and heard the "dong dong dong" sound of kowtowing. She didn't know how much effort this silly boy used. Knocked, when I got up, my forehead was red.

After kowtowing to Mrs. Shen, he went to the sedan and sold it to Mr. Shen and kowtowed before respectfully asking Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen to leave...

Wu Qingbo's Mansion

Mrs. Liu, the old lady, was at the head, chatting about household matters with Mr. Wu Qingbo's wife, Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo said: "It is said that people feel refreshed when they are worried. I didn't believe this in the past. Now that I see my old relatives in high spirits, I believe it."

The old lady Liu smiled and said: "You old man, you have been here for decades, and you are still trying to coax me with your sweet mouth. If it weren't for the fact that you married Qing'er to me, Qingshan, I wouldn't have done it decades ago." I’m done with you."

Mrs. Wu Qingbo smiled and said: "I have known for a long time that my relatives don't like me. No, I will help you quickly to lure your future granddaughter-in-law to you to see each other, so as to save you the trouble of me. God bless me." Yeah, I can't beat you, so I have to give in."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Guo's eldest daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Old Madam, what you said is not very kind. You brought the Shen girl here not just to show Old Madam your love. Don't you also want to see what your grandson's wife is like? I I heard that your old man forced my father-in-law to invite the Shen family to the house a few days ago."

Mrs. Guo was not angry when her daughter-in-law exposed her old background. She pointed at her and said to everyone: "Look at it. They all say that my relatives can win people's hearts. I have seen it today. I think my wife will be married twenty years ago." For many years, I have always been respectful and filial, but as soon as you came, you put me aside as a mother-in-law, and only turned my elbow towards you. It is really hard to live!"

After a while, everyone in the room laughed again.
