There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 879
[Chapter 879 Chapter 879, siblings]
Yan Shouhou, the brother and sister, had sent someone to set up two food shops a long time ago. The names of the shops were both called Four Seasons Food Shop.
The ones in the center of the main street have more fine grains for sale; the ones next to the city gate mainly sell wheat, sorghum, corn, and millet.
As soon as the food arrived, the staff in charge began to get busy.
On the first day of February, the Four Seasons Grain Shop officially opened.
The new opening of the store naturally attracted many people to come and watch.
The steward smiled and stood at the door of the store and said, “Everyone, the price of all kinds of grains sold in the Four Seasons Grain Store is based on the price in the capital, and the price of the grains is the same. You are welcome to come and buy.”
“Four Seasons Grain Store? There are also in the capital A Four Seasons Grain Store, I heard that the products sold are all high-yielding grains, are you one of the family?” No matter how
remote Xiliang is, there are always people who want to break into it.
Obviously, the person who asked the question had been to the capital.
The steward nodded with a smile on his face: “Yes, the Four Seasons Grain Store on Chang’an Street in the capital is also a store under the name of my wife. You can buy it with confidence.”
“Who knows if you are lying?” The
steward was not angry and continued to laugh He said: “This kind of seed is good or bad, you can actually tell with two eyes. You can go into the store to have a look, and you can buy it or not.”
Hearing this, many people walked into the store.
Knowing that the price of grain in the grain shop was nearly 30% lower than that in other places, everyone started to rush to buy it.
In order to prevent officials and large households from hoarding, grain shops also implemented purchase restrictions.
On the first day the grain store opened, Daohua naturally wanted to come and take a look. She sat in the carriage and watched the situation in the store across the street.
Both the steward and the buddy were brought over from the capital and have relevant experience.
Daohua looked at it for more than a quarter of an hour, and seeing that there was no trouble, she went to the next house.
Dong house.
Liu Xiaoman knew that her mother-in-law was going to take her to visit Xiao’s mansion today, and heard that the person she wanted to meet was the eldest concubine of the Wang’s mansion, so she deliberately found out the two sets of satin clothes her mother made for her when she got married.
“Mother, which suit do you think I should wear?”
Liu Xiaoman took the clothes to find Mrs. Dong, she was afraid that she would embarrass the Dong family.
Mrs. Dong looked at her clothes and chose the royal blue one. Seeing the uneasy look on her daughter-in-law’s face, she thought for a while and said, “You don’t have to be too nervous, go to Xiao’s mansion, and you can do as I do. ”
Liu Xiaoman nodded quickly: “Don’t worry, mother, I will not embarrass the Dong family and my husband. I have written down the rules you and my grandmother taught me.”
Mrs. Dong smiled: “Mother believes in you.”
Liu Xiaoman tensed A smile finally appeared on his face, and seeing that Madam Dong didn’t have a single ornament on her head, she immediately said: “Mother, I still have two silver hairpins, just wait, I’ll go and get them for you.” To turn around and go out.
Mrs. Dong quickly pulled him back: “No need, Yan girl knows about our family’s situation, as long as you dress clean and tidy.”
Liu Xiaoman always listened to her mother-in-law, and when Mrs. Dong said no, she really stopped. down.
Fortunately, Mrs. Dong knew her daughter-in-law’s temperament, otherwise, she would have thought she was just talking casually.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law changed their clothes and packed up, they went to talk to Mrs. Dong and were ready to go out.
“Mother, why didn’t grandma go with us?” Liu Xiaoman asked curiously.
Mrs. Dong’s expression froze. When Yuanyao and Sun Changze eloped, her mother-in-law angered Yiyi. She did it too much. At this time, her mother-in-law would not have the face to meet Yiyi.
Seeing her daughter-in-law looking at her, Mrs. Dong just said vaguely: “Grandma is getting old, it’s enough for us to go.”
Xiaofu.
After inspecting the two grain shops, Dao Hua returned home. Not long after she sat down, Gu Yu reported that Madam Dong had brought her daughter-in-law.
“Daughter- in-law?” Daohua was
stunned for a moment: “Whose wife?”
Gu Yu: “Mr. Dong’s.” Daohua
looked surprised: “Brother Dong married again?” She hadn’t heard of this at all.
Surprisingly, Daohua quickly got up and walked out of the room.
“Auntie!”
Seeing Mrs. Dong who was several years older than when she was in the capital, Daohua was stunned for a moment, but quickly walked up to her and took the initiative to hold Mrs. Dong’s arm.
“Yiyi!”
Seeing that Daohua was still close to her as before, Mrs. Dong couldn’t help but smile a little more on her face.
The moment Liu Xiaoman saw Daohua, his eyes froze, staring straight at Daohua without looking away.
Mrs. Dong exchanged pleasantries with Daohua, saw her daughter-in-law standing aside stupidly, gave her a smile and gave her a look, and quickly introduced to Daohua, “Yiyi, this is your brother Dong’s wife.”
Liu Xiaoman was stared at by her mother-in-law , Immediately regained consciousness, and blessed Daohua with a little awkwardness: “I have seen the concubine.”
Daohua hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: “Sister-in-law, don’t be like this, Yuanyao and I love sisters, Dong Eldest brother is also equivalent to my older brother, if you don’t mind, just call me younger brother and younger sister.”
Seeing that Daohua is so easy to talk, Liu Xiaoman smiled and nodded: “Sister and younger brother!”
Mrs. Dong saw that Liu Xiaoman really called her younger brother and sister directly. Angry and funny.
Daohua also laughed ‘hehe’, and looked at Mrs. Dong with a smile: “It really is my aunt’s daughter-in-law, and she has such a cheerful temper.”
Mrs. Dong smiled and glanced at Liu Xiaoman: “Your sister-in-law, she has one intestine. Man, Yiyi, you should be full.”
Daohua: “Auntie, don’t say that, I just like straightforward people, like the kind of people whose stomachs are full of twists and turns, that’s a headache.”
Liu Xiaoman nodded her head in agreement, Seeing Daohua look over, she said with a smirk: “Sister and sister, you are really good-looking, even better than my husband-in-law.
” He has grown better, and now I realize that I was wrong.”
Daohua was stunned for a moment, then laughed, seeing Liu Xiaoman’s obsessed eyes, she suddenly realized that Brother Dong’s daughter-in-law is a face-controller!
Mrs. Dong was a little tired of saying everything to her daughter-in-law, but she didn’t care about it when she saw Daohua, and she was quite happy instead, so she didn’t stop her daughter-in-law.
Seeing Liu Xiaoman’s belly bulge slightly, Daohua asked with a smile, “Sister-in-law is pregnant?”
Mrs. Dong and Liu Xiaoman both nodded with a smile.
Daohua immediately smiled and said: “Congratulations to auntie, congratulations to sister-in-law, let’s go back to the house and talk, it’s very cold outside, don’t freeze my eldest nephew.”
Hearing this, the smile in Madam Dong’s eyes deepened, and her daughter-in-law Together with Daohua into the house.
After entering the room, Daohua told about Dong Yuanyao’s pregnancy.
After Madam Dong heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She was most worried about her daughter, and she was always worried that although the Sun family treated her daughter poorly, now that the daughter had a child, she would have someone to rely on in the Sun family.
While talking, the maids served tea.
Liu Xiaoman swallowed her saliva looking at the delicate and small cakes on the porcelain plate. Although her father is a hundred-year-old, his family is not rich, and she has never eaten such beautiful cakes.
Hearing that Daohua asked her to taste it, Liu Xiaoman unceremoniously picked up a piece of pea yellow and ate it. As soon as the soft and delicious pea yellow was in his mouth, his eyes narrowed immediately: “Delicious!” He said, looking at Daohua , “Brother and sister, where did you buy the snacks at your house? When I go home later, I will also buy some for my husband to eat.”
Hearing this, Daohua burst out laughing, and looked at Madam Dong with a smile: “Auntie, sister-in-law really cares about Brother Dong.
” happy to see.
Liu Xiaoman was a little embarrassed: “It’s not only for the husband, but also for grandparents. The whole family eats together.”
Daohua smiled and said: “The pastries are made by the mansion. If my sister-in-law likes them, I will order the maids to pack them for you later .” Take some back.”
Liu Xiaoman quickly shook her head: “I don’t need siblings, I’m so sorry.”
Daohua explained with a smile: “My master also likes to eat desserts, and the house prepares several kinds every day, it doesn’t matter.
Madam Dong knew that a little pastry was nothing to the Xiao family, so she didn’t refuse, but she asked her daughter-in-law to thank Yi .
Now that the Dong family is in trouble, the Xiao family is willing to support them and take care of them, firstly because they value their son’s ability, secondly because of their past affection.
Affection is something that needs to be used less, especially when the two families are not on equal terms, they have to recognize their own positions, and they must not take Xiao Fu’s goodwill for granted.
Otherwise, it would be suicide.
Daohualiu, Mrs. Dong’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had lunch at the Xiao Mansion, and they chatted about other things after the meal.
In the middle of the afternoon, Mrs. Dong got up and said goodbye.
Daohua sent people to the door: “Auntie and sister-in-law often come, and they also say hello to the old lady and uncle for me.”
Mrs. Dong and Liu Xiaoman came here on foot, and Daohua sent a carriage to take them back.
In the carriage, Liu Xiaoman looked at a box of pastries, and happily said to Mrs. Dong: “Mother, my brother and sister are really kind. Before I came, I was nervous. I was afraid that she would be like the commander’s wife I met before. People are judged by their nostrils.”
“Sure enough, good-looking people are all very good-natured, my husband is like this, and so are my siblings.”
Listening to her daughter-in-law’s words, Mrs. Dong thought it was a little funny, but she didn’t bother to correct her daughter-in-law. Obviously, the straightforward nature of the daughter-in-law was very suitable for Yi Yi’s appetite.
Liu Xiaoman continued to babble.
“My brother and sister’s house is really magnificent. The maids walk without making any sound. There are many flowers in the house, which I have never seen before.
” Can’t compare.”
Listening to Liu Xiaoman talking about one sibling, Mrs. Dong was quite speechless, and thought they were really sisters-in-law.
The daughter-in-law has such a familiar temper, she really doesn’t know what to say.
When Dong Yuanxuan came back in the evening, Liu Xiaoman handed a plate of jujube cake to Dong Yuanxuan as if asking for credit: “Sir, please try it quickly, this red jujube cake is delicious, it was specially prepared for me by my younger siblings, and she told pregnant women to eat more.”
Dong Yuanxuan was stunned for a moment: “Siblings?”
Liu Xiaoman nodded, “It’s Mrs. Xiao’s wife.” As he said that, he smiled and talked about the matter of going to Xiao’s mansion with Mrs. Dong today.
“My brother and sister are really good-looking, even better than your husband.”
Dong Yuanxuan laughed out loud, his wife is a face control, he knew it a long time ago, she was fascinated by his face, and asked with a smile: “Why? Do you like younger siblings?”
Liu Xiaoman quickly shook his head: “My favorite is my husband, but this does not prevent me from liking younger siblings.”
Dong Yuanxuan didn’t correct his wife either, he knew Sister Yan, she was not a fake polite person, if His wife didn’t meet her eyes, so she wouldn’t show her closeness like this.
“Aunt Dong brought her daughter-in-law to the house today, do you know about Brother Dong’s remarriage?”
Xiao Yeyang lay comfortably on the bed, and Dao Hua stood beside the bed and was massaging him vigorously.
In the past few days, he ran at both ends of the frontier army and the guards, urging the frontier soldiers and military households to train soldiers, but he was exhausted.
Fortunately, Daohua’s massage technique is good, which relieved a lot of physical fatigue.
“Know some.”
Even though Dong Yuanxuan was his companion in the past, he wanted to use him more, so he sent Jin Lingwei to investigate what happened to him after he arrived in Xiliang.
Xiao Yeyang told Mrs. Dong that she was seriously ill, and Liu Xiaoman talked about saving lives with ginseng.
Daohua nodded after hearing this: “Brother Dong’s wife looks pretty good.”
