Chapter 10 Preparing

Du Xiancheng just nodded and poured a glass of wine for Xiao Xiangsheng, "Brother Xiao said this, I feel relieved."

The two stopped talking about the troubles of their mother-in-law and discussed their business.

"How did you gain from your trip to Jiangnan?" Xiao Xiangsheng asked. Although he and Du Xiancheng are two different shops, in fact, their businesses are combined together, and they claim to be two different businesses.

Du Xiancheng took out his secret account book and handed it to Xiao Xiangsheng, "Brother, please take a look. During my trip, I visited three salt wells in the south of the Yangtze River. After taking a closer look, I felt that there was not much produced there.

Since then, we haven’t had much contact with them. We just asked our brothers to buy some private salt and then put it on consignment in our shop. The money earned belongs to the brothers."

Xiao Xiangsheng nodded slightly, "This is a good move. If those brothers follow us, we can make them live a good life, so that they can live up to their kindness in protecting us."

Du Xiancheng thought of the dream he had in the bathtub yesterday, and touched his forehead with emotion, "It's thanks to God that we came back alive. Now we have earned a great fortune, and we have the status of a member of the official family to protect our bodies."

, it is truly a blessing that I never dreamed of.”

Xiao Xiangsheng smiled and said: "The days will get better and better in the future, why are you worried?"

Du Xiancheng also laughed, "My eldest brother has always been more knowledgeable than me! I believe in my eldest brother. If we work hard for a few more years and save a large amount of land for our grandson, we can stop and become farm shepherds."

Xiao Xiangsheng laughed and patted Du Xiancheng on the shoulder, "Xiancheng, being my brother with you is my blessing, Xiao Xiangsheng!"

The two drank for a while before getting up and going to the upper room to find Mr. Xiao.

In May, the spring scenery is bright.

The courtyard of the upper room in the Du family's backyard is full of flowers of various colors.

There is a large blue and white vat in the south corner, which contains a vat full of water lilies in bud.

There is a Xifu Begonia planted at the door of the courtyard of the upper house. It is delicate and charming. Because it has just reached the flowering period, many flower buds are still blooming, and they are as red as rouge. Some are already in full bloom, and the pink of the petals has changed from dark to light, as bright as the bright clouds.

"There are four kinds of crabapples, Xifu, Chuisi, Papaya and Tiegan. But the general crabapple flowers have no fragrance. Only the Xifu crabapple has both fragrance and color. It is the best among crabapples." Du Xiancheng saw Xiao Xiangsheng staring at the flower.

Xifu Haitang took another look and immediately started showing off with a smile.

Xiao Xiangsheng pushed him and said with a smile, "You heard this from your father-in-law, right?"

Fang Wuniang's natal family, the Fang family, was actually a small flower shop in the West Market. For several generations, they lived in a flower shop.

Du Xiancheng puffed up his chest proudly, "That's natural. My father-in-law and brother-in-law are both good at taking care of the flowers and plants. They take care of all the flowers and plants in our house. - Brother Xiao, do you want to...

…Introduce some business to my father-in-law and the others, and hand over the flowers and plants in your house to them?"

Xiao Xiangsheng laughed twice, and said a little embarrassedly: "...the affairs of the inner house have always been handled by your sister-in-law." He politely rejected Du Xiancheng's proposal.

Du Xiancheng just mentioned it, but he didn't take Xiao Xiangsheng's rejection to heart. He waved his hand carelessly and said, "Forget it. I just mentioned it because I saw Brother Xiao that you looked at this Xifu Begonia in a different light."

Xiao Xiangsheng really liked this Xifu Begonia. Hearing this, he said: "Although my flowers and plants are taken care of, I really haven't had such a good Xifu Begonia in bloom. Tell your father-in-law and send me one if you have time."

." Then he confessed to Du Xiancheng, "...When I go back, I will let Shiji live alone in his own yard. He can no longer live with his mother..."

The two people walked into the yard while talking.

The sunshine in May shines on the spacious courtyard. The walls of the courtyard are covered with green ivy. The walls are lined with passion flower-like flower wall tiles. Several peonies and roses are planted on one side of the wall, and large flowers are planted on the other side.

Double peony.

Under the corridor of the upper room facing the courtyard door, there are also rows of earthenware flower pots, planted with pomegranate trees, passion flowers, as well as various kinds of brocades, green fragrant balls, Yao Huang, Wei Zi and other precious flowers in full bloom.

Peony species.

Xiao Shiji was wearing a small gold crown and a moon-white robe. He was sitting on a balcony seat in the corridor, holding a white and fat baby tightly in his arms. It was he who had arranged the baby's marriage.

Fiancee Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang stretched out her white and fat little finger, pointed at the green fragrant ball peony and made a chirping sound.

Xiao Shiji patiently explained to her, "That's a peony, a very precious flower. The green fragrant bulbs at my house don't bloom as well as yours, and they all died down before mid-May."

Du Hengshuang seemed to understand what he said, and she started babbling even louder. Her whole chubby little body struggled to push out, and her chubby hands tried to destroy the flowers with "spicy hands".

The foster mother who was looking after her hurriedly said: "Miss, your uncle raised this green fragrant ball with great effort."

Fang Wuniang, who was sitting next to her doing needlework, smiled and said, "It's not worth anything, it's just a flower. Just pick it for her if she wants it."

The foster mother obeyed, picked a green fragrant ball, and handed it to Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang took it and held it up to Xiao Shiji, screaming, wanting to give it to him.

"Ah? It turns out that the eldest lady picked flowers to give to Mr. Xiao!" The little maid standing by the side couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Ha ha……"

When Du Xiancheng and Xiao Xiangsheng saw this scene, they looked at each other and laughed, feeling extremely happy.

Fang Wu Niang also smiled from ear to ear. She looked up and saw Xiao Xiangsheng coming in. She quickly stood up and saluted, "Brother Xiao is here to pick up my brother?"

Xiao Shiji was not disturbed by the adults' laughter. He carefully took the green fragrant ball from Du Hengshuang's chubby hand and said patiently: "Although this green fragrant ball is good, it is not good for you. You are still young, wait."

When you grow older, my brother will buy you flowers."

Du Hengshuang clapped her little hands happily, and the gold and jade bells on her two fat wrists rang out crisply.

The afternoon sun shines in through the gaps in the corridor, shining on Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang, giving them a golden edge.

When Du Xiancheng and Fang Wu Niang saw this scene, they both breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, found it interesting, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao can bring his brother to sit with us more often."

Xiao Xiangsheng agreed and said to Xiao Shiji: "It's getting late, we have to go home. Why don't you thank me for disturbing you, Uncle Du and Aunt Fang?"

Fang Wu Niang took Du Hengshuang from Xiao Shiji's arms.

Du Hengshuang screamed and kicked her legs, refusing to leave Xiao Shiji's arms.

"You kid, be more reserved!" Fang Wu Niang said, gently patting Du Hengshuang's chubby legs.

Du Hengshuang burst into tears, very sad.

Du Xiancheng walked up the steps in three steps at a time, took Du Hengshuang over, and said displeasedly to Fang Wu Niang: "It's okay, why are you beating the child?"

Fang Wu Niang was scolded in front of others, her face turned red, and she muttered: "Where did I hit her? I just patted her twice..."

Xiao Shiji came over, took Fang Wu Niang's hand and said, "Aunt Fang, sister Hengshuang is thin-skinned, you have to be more considerate."

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Hengshuang stopped crying, put her head on Du Xiancheng's shoulder, and hiccupped, which seemed to prove that Xiao Shiji's words were right.

Fang Wu Niang was angry and funny, but she also solved the dilemma. She lowered her head and smiled at Xiao Shiji and said, "You know this? Did Shuang'er tell you about it?"

It's obvious that Du Hengshuang doesn't know how to speak.

Xiao Shiji smiled shyly, "I looked at Sister Hengshuang's eyes and knew what she meant."
