Yingbao was silent for a moment: "Okay, you can come with Xiao Chengyu."
The little boy was very happy when he heard it, and bowed to Yingbao: "Thank you, sister."
He bowed to Chunniang again and said, "Hello, auntie. My name is Xiaotong."
The little boy has grown up now and finally understands that Mr. Wu is not his father.
Later, his mother Han and the Xiao family were brought to the capital, and Mr. Wu returned him to Han Yue Niang.
But after the little boy moved into the Xiao family, he still went to Mr. Wu's house from time to time to stay for a few days, and relied on him like a relative.
Chunniang nodded at them and said nothing.
She was still angry at this moment.
That Madam Yao was so rude that she took it upon herself to let her daughter meet a man she didn't know. What did she think of her Jiang family
Even though the villagers were not very particular, they knew that before a man and a woman could get married, they had to have a matchmaker to introduce them to each other, and after they got to know each other's families, they could meet each other with the permission of their parents.
Madam Yao's lips moved back and forth as if she was talking to some man about his concubine, belittling her own daughter. If she hadn't been at the Wu family today, she would have wanted to slap that woman in the face.
Yingbao reached out, held A Niang's hand, and comforted her silently.
Feeling her daughter's worry, Chunniang calmed herself down and smiled at her: "This kang is quite warm. I am about to doze off."
Luo Zhao leaned forward and said, "Aunt Jiang, if you feel sleepy, lie down for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"Okay." Chunniang naturally couldn't really lie down, so she just leaned against the large embroidered pillow and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Seeing this, Xiao Tong and Xiao Chengyu tiptoed out, but ran into Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun head-on.
"Second brother, let's go play tossing pots." Xiao Chengyu said with blinking eyes and a flattering look.
Xiao Chengjun glared at him coldly: "Where did you go just now?"
"I didn't go anywhere." Ever since Xiao Chengyu's father suffered a stroke, his and his mother's status in the mansion has plummeted.
Eldest brother Xiao Mo doesn't care about anything, so the entire Xiao Mansion is under the control of Xiao Chengjun.
Xiao Chengyu was particularly afraid of his second brother.
Xiao Chengjun put his hands behind his back and looked at his brother coldly: "Don't run around in other people's houses. You are not a child anymore. If you bump into someone or disturb other girls, I will not forgive you."
Xiao Chengyu suddenly opened his eyes wide and stammered, "I, I didn't bump into anyone, nor did I disturb the girl, I just... "
He suddenly didn't dare to continue.
The little boy helped to defend them: "We didn't disturb other girls. Sister Yingbao is not an outsider."
When Xiao Chengjun heard the name, his face became even darker.
Chen Tiantian suddenly smiled gently and said, "So you guys are here to play with Yingbao. Is she kind to you?"
The little boy nodded: "Sister Yingbao also promised us to go to her house to play."
Xiao Chengyu also nodded quickly.
Chen Tiantian suddenly had an idea and asked with a smile: "Little Langjun, do you like Yingbao?"
Xiao Chengyu was puzzled, but nodded.
Chen Tiantian covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned to Xiao Chengjun and said, "Chengjun, look, the young master already has a girl he likes. Go back and talk to the lady, and tell her that it's time to find him a marriage."
Xiao Chengjun frowned: "How old is he? Our eldest brother hasn't married yet, how can we find a husband for him?"
Chen Tiantian said nothing, but she already had something in mind.
When Xiao Chengyu saw Chen Tiantian telling his second brother that she had a girl she liked, he immediately understood what she meant and angrily said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you discuss my affairs!"
Although he was afraid of his second brother, he was not afraid of Chen Tiantian at all. He usually gave her some face because she was Xiaotong's biological sister.
Now she had hit his sore spot, and Xiao Chengyu's temper flared up, and he scolded her without caring about anything.
"How dare you!" Xiao Chengjun shouted angrily, "Go home now! Copy the Book of Rites fifty times!"
Xiao Chengyu curled his lips: "I won't!"
After saying that, he ran away.
The little boy blinked and ran away after Xiao Chengyu.
Chen Tiantian held Xiao Chengjun's hand and whispered, "Erlang, don't be angry. After all, he is just your half brother. If you care too much, your wife will be unhappy."
Xiao Chengjun sighed and patted Chen Tiantian's hand: "My stepmother dotes on him too much. If I let him go, he will become even more lawless. Tiantian, I'm sorry for wronging you. I will definitely confine him to house arrest for a month when I get back."
Chen Tiantian leaned her head on Xiao Chengjun's shoulder and said softly, "As long as my husband is here, I won't feel wronged."
...
The next day, Yingbao prepared some juice, but did not see Xiao Chengyu and the little boy coming.
She didn't care and was arranging the potted plants in the three large flower rooms in her home.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Four Seasons Potted Plant Shop is doing a booming business, with aristocratic families flocking in to make reservations.
Jiang Quan gave each pot of flowers a name, such as "Good Luck", "Rich Garden", "God of Wealth", "Longevity Flower", etc. Although the names are vulgar, they are suitable for the occasion.
Taking advantage of the good business during the New Year holidays, Yingbao dug out all the flowers of all sizes planted in the cave, transplanted them into pots, and watered them with Pupil Spring, which would ensure they would not wither for two months.
But if you leave these flowers outside to freeze overnight, they will probably die.
But who would have so much money to spend that they would leave a pot of flowers worth dozens of taels in the snow to freeze
"Young lady, do you want me to help you?" Mu Dan asked through a straw curtain outside the greenhouse.
When Yingbao was working in the greenhouse, no one except Jiang Quan and Chunniang was allowed to enter without her permission, so Mudan just asked outside.
"No need, you go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of these." Yingbao stood up, admired the potted plants all over the room, and began to count with a charcoal pencil.
There are thirty pots of mandarin orange trees, fifty pots of peonies, thirty pots of philadelphus, fifty pots of peach trees, thirty pots of red plums, twenty pots of wintersweets, fifty pots of roses, and fifty pots of various orchids.
The prices of these flowers and fruit plants vary, with the lowest being ten taels and the highest being one hundred taels. If all were sold, the net profit would be several thousand taels of silver.
After registering the accounts, Yingbao walked back to the greenhouse and suddenly saw snow falling outside.
The little girl Xinghua ran over and said, "My dear, the Second Young Master is back!"
"Er Langjun? Is my second brother back?" Yingbao hurried to A Niang's yard.
Xinghua and Mudan trotted behind him, "Yes, that's what the madam said."
Yingbao ran into A Niang's room and saw two young men standing in the room.
One is Hu Zi and the other is Jiang Wu.
"Huzi! Xiaowu!" Yingbao stepped forward and held her brother, smiling from ear to ear: "You are finally back."
She hadn't seen Jiang Wu and Hu Zi for several years. When she saw them again, she found that they had both grown taller and darker.
Especially Hu Zi, who has grown into a tall young man. If I meet him outside, I may not be able to recognize him.
Hu Zi grinned, "Yingbao, you have grown into a big girl."
Jiang Wu even leaned closer and pretended to be surprised: "Wow! Sister, you have changed a lot as you grow up. You are getting uglier and uglier."
