The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 118

    Shicheng was not idle during this time, he followed his parents and younger brother Shi Qing, and went to Hanzhong Mansion again.

      , did not follow.

    The one who delivered news to Shi Qian was the family they lived in in Shicheng last time. The man’s surname was Hao, and his name was Hao Jiping. Years old, called Hao Keyong, the second daughter is thirteen years old, called Hao Rongrong.

    Hao Jiping used to do business with Shi Qian, and also from Jiangnan to the south, on this road to sell tea, local people, because they are fellow villagers with Shi Qian, the two are on the way to sell tea, Naturally, they made friends and helped each other out.

    Shi Qian later offended the prefect and was forced to return to his hometown to dormant. Hao Jiping has always been in the tea business in Hanzhong Mansion. Now that Shi Qian wants to make a comeback, Hao Jiping will naturally help.

    Shi Qian’s family came to Hanzhong Mansion, and still lived in Hao’s house, and that day Shi Qian took Shicheng out to see the restaurant.

    Shi Cheng Niang Meng’s family was also from the village. She went to Hantai Town near Hanzhong Mansion to make a living. Later, she married Shi Cheng Dad and followed the young grandma who had been in Hanzhong Mansion for several years. The luck didn’t last long, and soon followed Shi Qian back to Peach Blossom Village.

    Meng Shi also always hoped to return to Hanzhong Mansion to live a big family life again, but Shi Qian and Shi Cheng have been saying for years that they should not be in a hurry. Enough, once again, it may not be able to retreat so well.

    Meng Shi naturally knows how powerful he is, so he has suppressed his anxiety in recent years.

      Meet the wife of the Hao family.

    Mrs. Hao and she also knew each other, and she was six or seven years older than Meng Shi. When Mrs. Meng came to the main courtyard, the maid smiled and said, “Our wife is thinking of going to see Mrs. Shi!”

    Meng shi smiled, thinking that Mrs. Hao was so eloquent even as a maid. After the maid picked up the curtain, she led Shi Qing into the house. Madam Hao, who was facing her, had already come out and said with a smile, “I was talking about taking Rongrong to see my sister! You came here.”

    Mengshi and her salute each other, women are always in the mood for comparison, and when they greet each other and salute, they have already looked at each other, and Mengshi feels a little uncomfortable.

    Mrs. Hao was wearing a bright red ruyi pattern makeup robe, which was a long skirt with pink bottom embroidery and folds, showing soft sleeves and a skirt that dragged to the ground, wearing a long skirt on the head. The rhinestone camellia Yin Huasheng shines with a little light and is dazzling.

    The complexion is fair, and the skin is tender like a big girl in her twenties, which makes people wonder how much gouache she has rubbed on it.

    Meng Shi consciously wears no worse than her, but in the countryside these years, exposed to the wind and the sun, even after maintenance, the skin is not so tender and smooth. Mrs. Hao, she is several years younger than her!

    Similarly, Mrs. Hao also saw that Meng’s skin was a little rough, pursed her lips and smiled, and called the girl standing behind her in a good mood: “Rongrong, give you a stone Auntie salutes.”

    Hao Rongrong stepped forward to salute to Mrs. Meng, and Mrs. Meng also asked Shi Qing to go to Aunt Hao to salute. After salute each other, it was finally time to sit down.

      That Hao Rongrong had been sitting next to her mother and listening quietly, without interrupting a word. If Shi Chengniang asked something, she would answer, very dignified.

    Shi Chengniang has a good impression of her, and likes this quiet girl very much. We talked with Mrs. Hao for a while, and although there were a lot of comparisons in our words, we all tried our best to be reserved and dignified, and had the upbringing of women. Therefore, there was no unpleasantness, but instead. It’s a pleasure to speak in words.

    They originally thought that Dad Shicheng and the others would be back very late. Unexpectedly, after just over an hour, Dad Shicheng took Shicheng, and Hao Jiping and Hao Kezheng who accompanied him all came back.

    Because they have known each other for a long time, the family members have nothing to avoid each other. I heard that they are all here, so Hao Jiping led everyone here.

    It was still a mutual salute. After a long time, they sat down. Shi Chengniang asked Shi Qian, “Why so fast? I thought you guys had to have dinner outside anyway.”

    Shi Qian smiled and said: “It has been decided, because the landlord has something to do, so I will wait until tomorrow to sign the painting and have it together.”

    Meng Shi was slightly surprised: “So fast?”

    Hao Jiping smiled and said over there: “Brothers and sisters don’t know, nowadays Hanzhong House has convenient transportation from north to south, and there are many merchants passing through here, and restaurants at this location are hard to come by. Set it down as soon as possible, otherwise, someone else will **** it away.”

    Shi Qian also smiled and nodded, and Meng hurriedly agreed. She is a woman, and she has always listened to her husband’s words in these business matters, so naturally there is no room for her to talk about it.

    When the adults spoke, Shicheng went over to sit on the Arhat Collapse and poured himself a cup of tea. After walking all day, he was too busy to drink a cup of tea.

      What’s the name of the girl with you?”

    Shicheng paused for a moment, and didn’t want to say anything, but they just asked the name, and there was no need to be stingy, so he smiled and said, “It’s Liu Xuer.”

    “How did you know her?” Hao Rongrong continued to ask.

    Shi Cheng frowned in his heart, but still answered: “We are from a village,” To prevent her from constantly asking about Xu’er, Shi Cheng first asked: “What do you want to ask? What about the rouge? What incense shop sells it?”

    Hao Rongrong curled her lips: “I didn’t ask this, I think she seems to understand quite a bit, so I asked who you are and why didn’t you follow me this time.”

    Shicheng looked astonished, but he was not interested in chatting with this kind of girl, nor was he interested in the questions she wanted to ask, so he stopped talking and put the tea in the cup. Drink up.

    “Where are you drinking tea? This is cow drink,” Hao Rongrong tutted and shook his head: “It’s a pity this is good tea.”

    Shi Cheng beckoned the maid to come over, pointed to the cup: “Pour me another cup.”

    The maid hurriedly agreed with a smile, glanced at Shicheng, and hurried away.

    Shicheng is not surprised, what does he care about with a little girl who is not sensible? !

     Mrs. Hao, who was sitting in front with her back to this side, turned around cautiously and glared at Hao Rongrong when no one was paying attention.

    Meng Shi, who was sitting opposite her, didn’t hear what was said, but saw that Hao Rongrong and Shi Cheng were talking very warmly, and Mrs. Hao also turned to look at them, Meng Shi sipped He pouted and smiled reservedly.

    The maid brought the tea, and Shicheng drank two more cups, only then did he feel his thirst quenched. That Hao Rongrong looked at him and shook his head, but now he didn’t dare to speak, and he didn’t dare to make that kind of tsk tsk tsk, for fear that her mother would turn back and blame her after hearing it.

    Shi Qian and Hao Jiping, who were sitting on the upper side, were talking very warmly. There has never been such a good opportunity, one is due to caution, and the other is to take the first step in a down-to-earth manner. Now that he has reached out to Hanzhong Mansion again, he also has a kind of ambition to stretch.

     After chatting warmly for a while, the two ladies smiled kindly and reservedly next to each other and talked to each other affectionately. Mrs. Hao was worried that her daughter would say something rude to be heard, and looked down on their family’s upbringing, so she would pay attention to Hao Rongrong and Shi Cheng from time to time. And this move, in the eyes of Shi Chengniang opposite, seems to be like Mrs. Hao likes Shi Cheng, she turns her head and smiles at him at every turn.

    The maid came in and came to Mrs. Hao’s side, and Fushen asked lightly when would dinner be served? Mrs. Hao asked Hao Jiping, and of course she would have dinner now.

    When I got to the main room for dinner, the food was plentiful, a table was prepared, and there was wine. Brothers Shi Qian and Hao Jiping naturally drank a lot in the evening, and even Hao Kezheng and Shi Cheng had to accompany them. Drank a few glasses.

    This dinner, because the female family was another table, Meng Shi kept observing Hao Rongrong and found that Hao Rongrong really cared about Shicheng. A question about Shicheng. In Mrs. Hao’s ears, her daughter was just asking casually, but when she arrived at Shi Chengniang’s ears, she felt that Hao Rongrong, a girl, was somewhat interested in her son!

    No matter what the women were thinking, the day just passed, and Shi Cheng followed his father to finish the restaurant business the next day. Shi Qian didn’t do business for a year or two. Naturally, he was very cautious, and he was careful not to be calculated by others. Coupled with the assistance of Hao Jiping, the restaurant was quickly settled.

      , Now that it’s settled, it’s natural to hurry up.

    So the family said goodbye to the Hao family and came back in a carriage. Shi Cheng didn’t know at all, his mother had already moved her mind after this trip.
