Chapter 231 Mother’s Family
Since I'm planning to write a storybook, I have to decide on the name of the protagonist first.
The master and servant then began to discuss the name of the protagonist again. Su He watched as the two became more and more excited and completely forgot about her. She had no choice but to leave.
"Go ahead, you'll be able to see my notebook in a few days."
Chen waved her hand and excitedly asked Mother Zhang to give the child a name.
Su He walked out of the Zhao Mansion quickly. It was already getting dark and it started to drizzle.
"Xiao Bai, there is a restaurant next to our house. I heard that the roast chicken there is good. Let's go and order some dishes."
"it is good."
The two of them went back to the house together, put the mule and the carriage away, and then went to eat wearing their straw raincoats.
It took only five minutes to walk to the restaurant. It was dinner time and the restaurant was very lively. Su He looked at the crowds and felt a little reluctant. "Xiao Bai, let's pack up and go."
Of course Liu Bai didn't care. The packing here just took a three-layer food box, put the dishes, rice and plates into it, and wrapped the two hot roast chickens in oil paper and tied them tightly with clean hemp rope. Liu Bai held the roast chicken in one hand and the food box in the other. Su He paid the money and left.
A deposit is required for this lunch box, and the deposit will be refunded after confirming that the lunch box is intact when you return it.
Su He sighed that the ancient people were quite wise. If she wanted to make food, it would be difficult for her to carve out a niche for herself among her peers.
The two of them walked slowly back to the house. Su He looked up at the eaves above the door and became distracted. The eaves were too narrow, and when it rained heavily, there was no clean spot on the ground.
When Su He entered the house, he was still thinking that the eaves could be extended further outward after the weather cleared up, so that there would be a clean area on the ground when it rained.
It seems useless, but Su He feels comfortable every time he enters the house and sees this clean place.
The two of them ate in the tidied kitchen, which was the result of Liu Bai's afternoon of hard work.
There was a long table inside, and two people sat face to face, and the dishes in the food boxes were brought out one by one.
Braised small fish, mushrooms and vegetables, a big bowl of rice, and two roast chickens.
Originally Su He wanted to order some soup, but she didn't order it because she was afraid it would spill.
"Xiaobai, next time we'll ask someone to lengthen the eaves at the front door."
"Okay, I'll make all of them longer."
Liu Bai agreed immediately without asking why, and Su He happily ate a large bowl of rice. There was still one chicken leg left from his roast chicken.
"You go ahead and eat, I'm full."
Liu Bai took it and ate it silently.
Qingshan Village
Su He got up early and went to the city. Wang Qingqing didn't sleep in either. She really couldn't sleep, or rather, she didn't sleep for several hours.
Everything that happened yesterday seemed like a dream to her. She lay in bed and repeatedly confirmed, was she really going to get married?
I don't know how long it was before there was a knock on the door. "Miss, Aunt Zhou and Miss Yanzhi are here. Are you awake?"
Wang Qingqing sat up suddenly, and her heart began to beat fast again.
She quickly put on her clothes and went out, and Li Xianger quickly brought in hot water.
"Where are Sister Yanzhi and Aunt Zhou?"
"They are in the kitchen, Miss. It seems that the son-in-law will invite a matchmaker to come today. You should wash up quickly. Breakfast is in the kitchen."
Wang Qingqing was a little flustered holding the face towel. She didn't sleep much the whole night and she wondered if her complexion would be too bad.
After quickly washing up, I ran to the dressing table to look in the mirror. Oh no, my eyelids had become triple eyelids and my complexion was so bad, especially on such an important occasion today.
Erli would not come, but the matchmaker was there, and the strong-willed Wang Qingqing didn't want anyone to see her ugly self. In short, she was in a very low mood.
"Qingqing, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhou was called in by Li Xianger. When she heard that Wang Qingqing was not feeling well, she was startled and hurried over to take a look.
Wang Qingqing covered her face and refused to see anyone. "Aunt, I look so ugly."
So that's how it is. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
"How can you be ugly? Apart from Lotus, how many people in our village are as pretty as you? Did you not sleep well last night?"
Seeing Wang Qingqing's surprised look, Zhou smiled calmly.
"We all grew up as little girls, so it's normal to be nervous about major life events. I had diarrhea the night before my engagement, and I almost couldn't get up the next day. My mother kept saying that your uncle and I were incompatible. Your Aunt Jin is even funnier. She was stung by a wasp before her engagement, and her mouth was swollen. Your second uncle was shocked, and he turned around and complained to your grandmother Sun, asking why she found him a wife with a big mouth. As a result, your Aunt Jin found out and went back to her parents' home in anger."
After hearing about the miserable experiences of her two aunts, Wang Qingqing suddenly relaxed. In comparison, she just had two more lines in her eyes.
"Auntie, let me put on some makeup first, and you can stay with me."
Zhou disagreed. "Grandma Dali informed me that the matchmaker will come in the afternoon, so you can enjoy your breakfast. I brought you some pickled vegetables that I made myself, which will go well with the millet porridge cooked by Xiang'er. Come on, nothing is more important than having a full meal."
Wang Qingqing obediently listened to the advice and followed Zhou to the kitchen. Yanzhi had already prepared everything. When she saw Wang Qingqing coming, she stared at her for a long time and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no problem.
Although Wang Qingqing obediently ate breakfast first, she ate very quickly and finished it in two or three minutes.
After eating, the three of them returned to the house together. Wang Qingqing took out all her clothes. She had made three sets of clothes for herself in the countryside, one in light yellow, one in honey pink, and the latest one in apricot. In addition, there were six sets of spring clothes that she had brought from Qinlongzhou.
The three of them looked at so many clothes and selected them one by one. The most exquisite ones were definitely the original ones. They were all made of the most fashionable materials last year. Even the cheapest one would cost more than ten taels of silver.
But after Wang Qingqing thought calmly, she chose the apricot dress she made herself.
"I am already Wang Qingqing. Those clothes belong to Xu Lian'er, not to me anymore. Auntie, I will go to the city to sell them tomorrow. I will just wear this apricot-colored one."
At this moment, Wang Qingqing's tone was calm and her eyes revealed determination. She wanted to say goodbye to the past completely.
"Okay, then we'll wear apricot color. You can take your time to get dressed. Yanzhi and I will accompany you today."
Wang Qingqing's choice was supported by everyone, and Yanzhi accompanied her to choose cosmetics.
After a while, Jin came with Wen Niang, Shitou, Tiantian and Miaomiao.
Then Juhua brought her sister to join in the fun, and Wang Qingqing's room suddenly became lively.
Old man Li and his two companions were also busy running around with a smile on their faces.
Wang Qingqing was a little annoyed. She didn't buy many pastries, so there wasn't enough for today's guests.
In fact, no one cared at all, and every family brought some food.
Miaomiao and Tiantian held Xiao Shitou's hands and asked him to learn how to walk. Xiao Shitou was very gracious and let himself be led by the two beautiful sisters.
"Niang Wen, Xiao Shitou is drooling too much. Is he hungry? Go to the inner room to feed him. I'll help watch him."
Wen Niang was eating the preserved fruits she brought with her. She glanced at her son and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I just fed him before I came. This brat just drools a lot."
Jin looked at her little grandson with a loving face and teased him with a piece of preserved fruit.
"Baby, grandma has some delicious food here, come quickly."
When Little Shitou heard the word "eat", he turned around immediately and said to Jin with both hands, "Hold me!"
Zhou smiled and retorted to her sister-in-law.
"He has only a few teeth, and you dare to feed him this. You are also a fool."
"Your little Shitou likes pretty things. One time, the butcher Jin happened to pass by and wanted to hug Shitou. Not only did Shitou refuse, he also farted, and Jin the butcher was so scared that he ran away."
Ma complained to Wen Niang that little Shitou liked her father-in-law and the head of the family very much, and she couldn't hold him even if she wanted to.
When Jin heard this, she laughed at him rudely, "Yuzhen, you wanted to hold a baby but couldn't, but you had to mention that butcher Jin. Hurry up and get your Liangzi married, and ask your daughter-in-law to give birth to seven or eight babies so you can hold as many as you want."
Ma was so angry that she rushed over and hit her, saying that she couldn't keep this sister-in-law anymore.
"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law bullied me. You didn't do anything about it."
Zhou smiled and turned back, "I'm not free. I have to accompany our Qingqing today. I also want to hold our Shitou."
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
