MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 86
Jinzhou Fucheng.
The younger brother of Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan was born on the Lantern Festival, and his childhood name is Tangyuan.
One month later, the full moon banquet of small glutinous rice **** will be ushered in.
Wei Cheng considered that he had just stabilized his foothold in Fucheng, and he didn't want to hold a big feast to attract attention. The little brother's full moon banquet was all relatives in Nanshan County, not even Lin Jiamin's family, or good partners in Nanshan County. .
The day before Xiaotang's full moon, a boat set off from Nanshan County.
That afternoon, a group of carriages stopped at the gate of Wei Mansion.
A group of people got out of the carriage, headed by Wei Cheng's parents and uncle's family, followed by Wei Cheng's third uncle and Wei Sishu's family, Wei Cheng's younger sister Wei Zhen and her brother-in-law Feng Linsheng, Wei Cheng's elder sister Wei He alone, and then Wei Cheng's Zhou Yuan's parents, Zhou Uncle, Zhou Xiaoshu's family , followed by Wei Yuan's family, Zhou Qiu and Li Muzi.
This group of people was stunned when they saw the high-ranking family members of the Wei Mansion.
This-
"This is Wei Cheng's home?!" That poor cousin's home is a lie!
Wei Jirong was originally suppressed by his parents. There was an eldest brother in the family who was a scholar. He was admitted to Juren last year. He was just a dandy at home, just eating, drinking and having fun. He didn't know about his cousin Wei Cheng.
Not only him, Wei Zihong and Wei Qi, the sons and daughters of Uncle Wei’s family, were shocked and dumbfounded. They were more reluctant to come than Wei Jirong. Their parents forced them to come. The cousin attaches so much importance to it, and when they saw their eyes, they were shocked when Wei Cheng's cousin became so rich, and only then did they understand why their parents forced them to come.
"Cut! Cousin is amazing, you only know it now!" Wei Yexuan was studying in the North and South, but he admired Wei Cheng.
"Mother, why didn't you say that the second brother is so rich?" Wei Zhen is her young mistress in Feng's house, she only knows how to dress up or interacts with merchants of the same family, and her attention is all about women's affairs. bro thing.
She lived in Nanshan County with Wei's father and Wei's mother, one in the inner city and the other in the outer city. If she wanted to go to her parents' house more often, she wouldn't know it now.
Wei Zhen thought that her second brother was rich and honored, and that she could rely on it, gain face in the Feng family, and let her second brother support the Feng family... It was too late for her to have any thoughts.
Feng Linsheng thought the same as her, but his brother-in-law was even more unattractive in Wei Cheng's eyes.
He always felt that his wife's second brother was a loser, and he never recognized his wife as a second brother. Even when Wei Zhen went back to say that her second brother had become a rich man in Wei Cheng's warm house, he didn't care at all. The place of this invitation is Fucheng, Wei Zhen said that Uncle Wei will also go, so he will not come.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother regretted a lot in their hearts. If they treated their second son better, they could all live in a high-end mansion, live as servants, and eat delicacies from mountains and seas.
Wei Liang lamented that the identity of his younger brother was completely different from him.
As for the sister-in-law of the Wei family, her eyes are bright, she involves the brat Wei Dabao, and fantasizes about her prosperous life in the future.
And the Zhou family—
Uncle Zhou became greedy, thinking that he must get the supply of goods from the North and South Line, and he also wanted to live in such a big house. Aunt Zhou was very jealous. Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou thought in their hearts, this brother Zhou Yuan is really lucky, their daughter Zhou Xiaorui is better than Zhou Yuan, so they will only marry into small households, if luck falls to their family... All of these they are envious of.
Zhou Junyu also came, bringing his new wife. His new wife is the daughter of a rich businessman in Nanshan County. , will be the wife of an official in the future. Looking at the gate that was taller than her family, she curled her lips, disapproving in her eyes, and underestimated in her mouth: "If you don't have money, no matter how rich you are, you are not a merchant. There is no surprise for this group of unsophisticated people."
Zhou Junyu heard it, he glanced at his new wife, and that unruly and willful young lady didn't say anything more. She really likes to admire Zhou Junyu, that's why she listens to him. When Zhou Junyu married her, he saw that she was well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and thought she was a good wife. Only after marrying did she realize that his wife was unruly and self-willed, with little knowledge. Fortunately, people listened to him Yes, otherwise Zhou Junyu will not have a good life in the future.
Apart from being startled, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were worried about whether their son-in-law would take concubines in the future.
Zhou Yuan's three sister-in-laws had different thoughts, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were envious for a while, and the third sister-in-law Zhou Wang was only deeply jealous.
Children don't understand the hearts of adults. Zhou Yuan's nephew and niece stared at their uncle's house with wide eyes.
What a big home, much bigger than their current home, I will definitely envy them even more when I go back and tell my friends.
Children are simple and innocent.
The housekeeper, Uncle Mao, stepped forward to greet him.
Before the group arrived, the housekeeper waited outside the door, watching the carriage arrive from a distance, and sent his servants to report. Not long after the group got off the carriage, Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan went out to greet them.
Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan had nothing to do with everyone's thoughts. After welcoming people in, Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan faced a large group of relatives and could only entertain them well.
Let the servants lead the children to eat snacks in the back garden, and the adults are left in the main hall
The servants served refreshments in an orderly manner, and after sitting for a while, after exchanging pleasantries, Mother Zhou wanted to see her grandson.
Zhou Yuan took people there. In the past, there were Zhou Yuan's family and Aunt Zhou, Zhou Qiu and Muzi Li, Wei Yuan's mother and his husband Li Shuiqing, sister-in-law Wen Lanzhi in the lobby, and Third Aunt Wei and Wei Yu.
The others didn't go to visit, and it wasn't long before Aunt Wei proposed to visit the mansion. When Aunt Wei said this, the two uncles had a different meaning in their eyes, "Go and see, my nephew Cheng and I haven't talked for a long time. I have gone, and the younger generation will go with me." They wanted to send the women and the younger generation to visit the mansion and talk to Wei Cheng alone.
Wei Cheng could see the intentions of the two uncles at a glance, but he didn't want to face the two uncles, so he simply asked his servants to lead them all together, and went to the guest room to rest if he didn't go.
"Elders, my cousins are exhausted from traveling and traveling. I will ask my servant to take you to the guest room to rest. You should have a good rest. I will be notified by the servant for dinner. If you want to visit the mansion, auntie, call the servant Just lead the way. I also happened to go to the back kitchen to see how the dinner dishes are being prepared, so I won’t accompany the elders.”
The housekeeper, Uncle Mao, saw it and immediately arranged for servants to wait on him.
After they all left, Wei Cheng went back to the main courtyard.
—
main courtyard.
Zhou's mother, Zhou's father and the others looked at their little brother who was sleeping in the crib, a little soft white and tender ball, with **** eyes, babbling and talking baby words, and they were happy to see it.
Zhou Qiu, Li Muzi and Li Shuiqing said they were so cute, they all wanted to hug them, but Zhou's mother was the biggest, she could only look at them enviously if she wanted to hug them, and couldn't get away from the little guy.
They want to hug too!
Ren Nianluo proudly said: "I hug the little glutinous rice **** every day, the little glutinous rice **** are so soft and cute in my arms!"
Zhou Qiu, Li Muzi and Li Shuiqing said in unison: "Brother Luo, I envy you so much!"
Zhou Yuan's brows and eyes were full of smiles, "Okay, it's your turn after my mother hugs you."
Zhou's mother hugged her grandson and said happily: "Oh, my little grandson is called Xiaotangyuan. It's a good nickname. It's soft and white and tender like glutinous rice. It's so cute!"
Father Zhou was greedy, and he couldn't rush to hug her, but he looked at him with love in his eyes: "Yuan Yuan, did you get the nickname Xiaotangyuan or your son-in-law?"
Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "My husband and I took it together. The little guy was born on the night of the Lantern Festival, and we thought of the nickname Tangyuan at the same time."
The little brother is white, his eyes are black like pearls, and Aunt Wei also looked at it with joy, "The little glutinous rice **** are so cute."
Wen Lanzhi next to her also felt that Xiaotangyuan was cuter than her kid, and praised: "Looking at Xiaotangyuan, I want to have a little brother as cute as Xiaotangyuan."
Zhou Yuan replied: "Sister-in-law of the lobby, you are so good-looking, the baby you gave birth to must be even cuter."
"Brother Yuan's words, my sister-in-law will accept your words." Wen Lanzhi smiled softly, her eyes were filled with anticipation, the previous gloom was swept away, it seemed that her relationship with Wei Jihui had reconciled .
Yes, after Wei Jihui was elected, Aunt Wei asked his son to take a concubine. He was embarrassed and could not follow his mother's will. She would rather be divorced than serve a husband with other women. The determination and sadness in her eyes reminded Wei Jihui that when he fell in love with his wife at first sight at a banquet, he was determined to marry her like a moth to a flame. , and made an oath at the Wen family that he would love her for the rest of his life, and he broke his promise.
The consequence of breaking his promise is to lose his beloved wife, and her wife has always known about the matter of taking a concubine but never revealed it. He failed his wife when he did not reject his mother, and his wife has never complained about him being able to take the exam with peace of mind...... Wei Jihui took a blow to the head, and retorted that he came to his senses.
He would rather not take concubines for the rest of his life than lose his wife.
After Wei Jihui got angry, Aunt Wei could only listen to Wei Jihui, and the Wang family had a big trouble afterwards.
Wen Lanzhi's wisdom and consideration guard her home.
Everyone chatted around the little brother, the third sister-in-law Zhou Wang was very uncomfortable, she gave birth to a boy for the Zhou family, and the Zhou family didn't praise her son so much. Could it be that a boy is not as important as a little brother.
She looked at the arrangement of the baby crib in the room. Those baby toys are all strange things, and what is the name of the bottle for the little brother to drink water? There are so many things suitable for children, why didn't her son send some over when he was full moon? , are so rich and so stingy.
Mrs. Zhou Wang really wanted to get some toys for her son. Her son would definitely like them, so Mrs. Zhou directly mentioned, "Yuan Yuan, sister-in-law San sees that your little brother has a lot of toys. These toys are very cute. If you know there are such cute toys The third sister-in-law asked you to help buy the toy, and the milk bottle is very convenient to me, why didn't you tell the third sister-in-law about such a good thing, so I don't know where you bought it?"
I didn't know where to buy it, and I guessed wisely that Weiji Workshop can make rare products, and these toys must be from Weiji Workshop.
What she said was so close to asking Zhou Yuan to send it directly.
There was envy in Zhou Wang's words, and some blamed Zhou Yuan for being stingy. She thought it was good to cover it up, but not everyone is a fool.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother didn't notice it, and thought that the toy for the little grandson was good. The toy was soft and would not hurt the child, which was strange. They also wanted to get a set for the little grandson.
In the hearts of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, the younger grandson and the younger grandson are treated equally.
Sister-in-law Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou Zhou couldn't see the meaning of Zhou Wang's words, and they despised her in their hearts. She wanted to but was too embarrassed to speak up. Ever since this person gave birth to a son, she has become arrogant in the Zhou family, fighting for everything with her son, as if she was the only one who gave birth to a boy for the Zhou family.
Zhou Zheng, who couldn't squeeze in to see his little nephew, frowned, as if he was very displeased with what his wife said.
The two brothers Zhou Yong and Zhou Shan didn't realize it, they had been paying attention to the little nephew, the white and tender little dumpling, soft, they had never seen such a cute milk doll.
Wen Lanzhi was born in a prestigious family, so how could she not understand the meaning of Zhou Wang's family.
She really liked the toys that Zhou Yuan prepared for his little brother, and she wanted to prepare a set for her son, so she didn't say anything because she was afraid of being rude.
Xiao Liu has been waiting by the side, she frowned, wondering if the master, the third sister-in-law, has something wrong with her mind, why should she tell you what her little master has has nothing to do with you. Moreover, the kid's toys are all made by the master himself in the workshop, and they are unique.
Hmph, once you know the price of the little master's toy, you won't say you bought it.
Zhou Yuan doesn't care about her third sister-in-law's hidden attitude. The little nephew is his third brother's son, and he also loves the house, so it won't hurt. He has prepared a small set of baby toys for the little nephew, but he didn't prepare a feeding bottle. He needs to teach how to use the feeding bottle It can only be used after a while, so I didn't prepare it. I originally waited for Xiaotang to give it away when the family members came to the full moon banquet. I didn't expect that he would be questioned by his third sister-in-law if he didn't send it out.
"The toy of Xiaotangyuan was made by my husband himself in the workshop. I originally made a set. Later, my husband thought of naming it after Xiaotangyuan as a gift for Xiaotangyuan's birth. With this meaning, I made a batch of limited quantities and put it on the shelves. For sale in Baizhen Building, only those sold in Baizhen Building will not be approved as a source of goods, children's toys and puppets will be sold in Baizhen Building for the first time tomorrow."
Zhou Yuan said to Zhou Wang: "My little nephew is my own nephew, how can I lose my little nephew's share, I have prepared some for my little nephew, as my little uncle's wish."
It is a small set of toys for the little nephew. There is no bottle yet, and the third sister-in-law even asks, but he still asks Xiaoliu to add it to it.
Zhou Yuan's words seemed to be an explanation, but they were also putting Zhou Wang's innermost thoughts on the table.
I didn't understand that there was something in Zhou Wang's words before, and they seemed to smell something. Both Zhou's mother and Zhou's father were dissatisfied with Zhou Wang's.
As good friends Zhou Qiu, Li Muzi, Ren Nianluo and Li Shuiqing also felt that Zhou Wang was going too far.
"Did Yuan Yuan tell you what he bought? Pay attention to what you say. You are Yuan Yuan's third sister-in-law, so you should be like a third sister-in-law." Zhou Zheng reprimanded his wife, and then said to his younger brother: "Yuan Yuan, Don't listen to your third sister-in-law, my kid will definitely be a skinny boy in the future, how can I have a cute little brother, I don't need these toys, if you give them away, such expensive things will be a waste, maybe I will throw them away after playing with them a few times."
He works in a workshop, so he doesn't know the price of this set of toys. He still thinks that he can't afford to buy a set. When the sale starts, he can ask his brother-in-law for convenience, and he can buy one or two for his kid.
As soon as Zhou Zheng reprimanded, Zhou Wang's face froze on the spot.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mother Zhou reprimanded her son. No matter how angry she was, she would never accuse Zhou Wang on the spot. "It was Yuan Yuan's wish that Yuan Yuan prepared for his nephew. You still have to be polite to your brother."
Zhou Zheng also felt that he was angry and talking nonsense, but he didn't look at his wife and explained to his parents. In order to ease the atmosphere, he pretended to be helpless and said with a smile: "Mother, of course I know it's Yuan Yuan's heart, but how can I, as an older brother, treat my younger brother?" I work in a workshop for such a valuable thing, and my eldest brother and my second brother know that this set of children's toys is expensive, so we can't have it."
Mother Zhou glared at her son, and asked with a smile, "How much silver taels, isn't it more than a dozen taels? Don't lie to your mother."
"Mother, how dare my son, you must be surprised when my son tells you." Zhou's mother and others were all curious, waiting for Zhou Zheng's words, Zhou Zheng smiled and said the price, "I also know a rough idea, it seems that a set will cost hundreds Two, if the customized one is more expensive, it will cost several hundred taels.”
"So expensive!"
Zhou's mother, Aunt Lu and Zhou Yuan's two sister-in-laws all exclaimed!
Zhou Wang was also frightened.
Wen Lanzhi also felt that the price was not cheap, but she also thought it was worth it. She could afford it at this price. Knowing that Baizhen Building was on sale, she went to Baizhen Building to order a set for her son when she wanted to go back.
Zhou's mother knew the price, how could she ask for such an expensive thing from her brother.
"Mother, you can't refuse, how can you refuse my love for my little nephew." Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, and then said to everyone; "In addition to preparing for my little nephew, I also prepare children's gifts for my nephew and niece at home. , there are children from the sister-in-law's family in the lobby."
Wen Lanzhi was not pretentious, and immediately said: "I will thank Brother Yuan on my son's behalf!"
Zhou's father said: "Since it is Yuan Yuan's wish, I will accept it!"
Zhou's mother no longer refused.
The atmosphere inside was harmonious again.
Wei Cheng, who stood outside the door for a while, came in, his expression unchanged, and arranged for his servants to lead everyone to the guest room to rest, and if they didn't rest, they would visit the mansion.
After everyone leaves.
Xiao Tangyuan fell asleep, with her mouth open, her body turned sideways, and her belly bulging.
Seeing the cute baby sleeping, Wei Cheng felt softer in his heart.
Zhou Yuan was sitting beside him doing needlework, watching his husband like the little glutinous rice balls, the unhappiness just now was swept away.
