As Daddy's baby, Xu Mu easily got the words out of Li's mouth.
Li was a little hesitant, and her face flushed a little by the fire at the bottom of the stove. She didn't know if it was because she was a little ashamed to tell her son or she was a little shy to bring it up. Make me a waiter."
Xu Mu blinked, "Huh?"
"I'll ask her how she feels about me first," Mrs. Li didn't look at her son's face, but lowered her eyes to the bottom of the stove and said softly, "She said she likes me..."
Mrs. Li is no longer a juvenile, and she is not the age at which a love can deliver her sincerity. He thinks more, he not only married someone, but also has a nine-year-old child, such a widow, how could Ji Ruan know that the matchmaker is getting married...
If he was a servant, and Ji Ruan lost interest in him, and later married the lord, as a concubine who was not a relative, then his family's life with candied fruit would definitely be even more difficult.
Instead of looking at people's faces like walking on thin ice, it is better for him to live a simple and free life with candied fruit alone. The reason why he would consider getting married was that he would not be able to protect him with his own strength when the candied fruit grows up in the future.
Li Shi can see how Ji Ruan treats him, but no matter how nice Ji Ruan treats him before he gets his body, Li Shi is not willing to be a waiter.
He didn't even dare to think about a widow with a son who let a general eight carry a large sedan chair to the Ming media. Instead of giving Ji Ruan hope to hang her, it's better to talk about it.
Xu Muguang knew about the matter from Li Shi's vague words. My father knows it himself. Usually, my father looks weak and gentle, but when it comes to his affairs, my father will firmly guard the bottom line and will not let it go.
Xu Mu was moved, and buried his face in Li's arms and rubbed it. He is so devoted to his father, how can he be willing to let him grow old alone
Xu Mu thought, according to the impression of the previous life, Ji Ruan should not be the kind of person who has three husbands and four servants. She likes Daddy so much now, she must want to marry him as her husband, not as a servant.
The stupid and honest Ji Ruan was probably blocked by Daddy with all kinds of inappropriate words between us before he even opened his mouth...
Thinking about it like this, Xu Mu was a little dumbfounded. It would be a pity if the two of them just missed it.
After Mr. Li said this, without giving Xu Mu a chance to speak again, he pushed his son out of the back kitchen involuntarily, "Don't scald you later, let's go out and play."
Xu Mu, who came out of the back kitchen, stretched out his hand to look out of the door frame boredly. There were many people entering and leaving "Sweet Baiwei", but not the one he was thinking of. Ji Ruan didn't come, and Lu Feng didn't come either.
From that day on, Mrs. Li stopped mentioning Ji Ruan, and every time Xu Mu wanted to talk to his father about this, he was blocked by him with a few words.
Ji Ruan no longer came to "Sweet Baiwei", and Mrs. Li refused to talk about it again. The already weak affection between the two seemed to be completely buried in the heart of the thick winter snow.
The day before the Laba Festival, Mr. Li brought out the newly-made dim sum from the back kitchen, and asked the pastry pickers in the store to taste it for free, and told these regular customers that tomorrow Laba, if they want to celebrate at home for the festival, they won’t. The door is open.
Everyone ate the cakes together, and Mr. Li politely sent everyone out, and was about to clean up and close the shop.
Jia Shanren from East Street is in the private salt business. On weekdays, the business needs to be facilitated by the people above. During the festivals, gifts must not be less.
This year's income was good, and it was approaching the end of the year. Just a few days after she returned from outside, she personally came to visit an adult's house on West Street with a generous gift.
At noon, the adults left her to eat in the mansion, and the two had a good chat over wine. She drank too much, and the adults left her to rest in the mansion for a while, and then she went back in a sedan chair.
Before the wine completely faded, Jia Shanren felt even more uncomfortable sitting in the swaying sedan chair.
The sedan chair walked along a main road in West Street to the corner of the street. Jia Shanren glanced outside the sedan chair, and saw a gentleman who was standing at the door of the shop sending people away.
Na Langjun has thin shoulders and thin waist, and has a slender and good-looking figure. Just looking at Jia Shanren from the side makes his mouth dry, not to mention that after seeing the front face, all seven souls and six souls are swayed by those peach blossom eyes. The end of the eye hooked halfway.
Jia Shanren looked at Na Lang Jun in a daze, and forgot to call the servant who was carrying the sedan chair under him, until Na Lang Jun turned around and went into the house and could no longer see him.
"Stop, stop, stop! Quickly stop the sedan!" Jia Shanren hurriedly opened the curtain of the sedan before the sedan had stopped. The sedan had just landed when people jumped from it.
Going around the sedan chair, he hurriedly walked back for a short distance before stopping, standing not far from the shop and looking in.
The Lang Jundong inside was busy for a while, and Jia Shanren's eyes moved left and right without blinking. Just looking at the figure of the man, she felt desire.
Compared with the Lang Jun inside, the new servants who were brought into the door looked like the grass growing next to the slender green bamboo.
The little servant who was standing beside the sedan chair saw the master staring at Na Langjun and couldn't move his feet and eyes, his eyes rolled around, he walked over smartly, and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want the villain to inquire about it? Who is this gentleman?"
Jia Shanren hurriedly said without looking back: "Go, go, go and find out."
"It's cold outside, let's go back to the house first." The little servant whispered, "As long as you find out, the days to come are still long, and you are not in a hurry at this time."
Although this Lang Jun lives at the end of West Street, he looks like an ordinary shop owner. With Jia Shanren's family wealth, what kind of man can't get it, it's just a matter of more money and less money.
Even if he doesn't want to, he will force people into the door, and ask them first without saying a word. Even if he has a lawsuit, it will be settled with money. His body has been strengthened, and he has lost his innocent reputation. Are you afraid that he will not obey
When Jia Shanren heard what the servant said, he felt reasonable. Looking at Na Langjun's line of sight again, it is inevitable.
"It's done, I'll be the first to reward you." Jia Shanren straightened the cape on his body, reached out and patted the servant's shoulder, and finally took a look at the store before returning.
And Li Shi, who was about to close the door, didn't know that he was being watched.
When Jia Shanren returned to the house, she asked the servant to inquire, and the people sat in the front yard and waited. After seeing Na Langjun, she had no intention of going to the backyard to be happy at all.
The servant ran over from the yard and said to Jia Shanren, "I found out, that Langjun is a widow with a nine-year-old son. After his wife died, he returned to Beijing to live with his parents. His mother was a teacher. , the family is just okay, and a pastry shop was opened some time ago, which is run by Li Langjun.
I heard that many people who wanted to propose marriage to that Li were rejected by his father Zhang. From the point of view of the villain, if you are serious, master, you will definitely not get a beautiful woman. "
"Then what do you say?" Jia Shanren frowned, got up and took two steps in the room, then stood in front of the servant, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, "Then Mrs. Li, I must get , tell me a way, money doesn't matter."
This is what the servant was waiting for, and motioned Jia Shanren to come over and tell her his thoughts.
After Jia Shanren heard this, he patted the little servant on the shoulder approvingly, said ok, reached out and took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it in her arms at will, "I'll leave this to you, wait for me. After I get the Li family, I will promote you to be the housekeeper in the house."
The little servant suppressed the joy in his heart, put away the silver treasure, and said, "Master, just wait for the day after tomorrow to enjoy the beauty."
…
Laba porridge, also known as Qibao five-flavor porridge, was eaten on the Laba Festival. At first, it was cooked with a single red bean, and then the porridge gradually increased.
On the day of Laba, Mrs. Li got up early in the morning and prepared various things for porridge. Xu Mu followed to help wash the rice and stuffed the red dates into his mouth. The irritated Mr. Li tapped his forehead with his hand, lest he was full now and would not eat well at noon.
Glutinous rice, barley rice, oat rice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, red dates, sesame seeds, lotus seeds, longan, wolfberry and chestnuts... A variety of materials are prepared, the pitted ones are removed, and the lotus seeds and chestnuts are cooked in advance before adding water. pot.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang were cooking, and Xu Mu sat in front of the stove to make a fire. Master Li came in occasionally to take a look. Seeing that the three men in the family were busy in the back kitchen, she didn't need her, so he went out.
The book says that a gentleman cooks far away from home. Master Li didn't agree with this. In the past, when Mrs. Li married in Lingnan, she and Mrs. Zhang lived at home, cooking and washing dishes together.
A variety of mixed grains are put together and slowly cooked to an enticing aroma. When the lid of the pot was opened, the porridge was thick and the rice and beans were rotten, mixed together, exuding a sweet and greasy taste.
The ingredients for cooking porridge are different for each household, and the dosage is also different, so the cooked porridge has different tastes.
For Mr. Li, every year is to drink Laba porridge with his son. As for Xu Mu, he hadn't been able to drink the Laba porridge cooked by his father for several years, his eyes were a little red when he held the bowl, he lowered his head and took a savage sniff, feeling that he missed the familiar.
Seeing that he liked it, Mr. Li gave him a lot. After a meal, Xu Mu didn't want to move.
After eating, just after finishing the meal, I heard a loud noise from outside the door. Not long after, someone knocked on the door of Li's house.
