Chapter 418 Not aggrieved
Ying Bao was silent for a moment: "Okay, you can come here with Xiao Chengyu."
The child was very happy when he heard this and saluted Yingbao: "Thank you, sister."
He bowed to Chun Niang again and said, "Hello, aunt, my name is Xiaotong."
Now that the child has grown up, he 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 Yueniang.
But after the child moved into Xiao's house, he still went to Mr. Wu's house for a few days from time to time and relied on him as a relative.
Chun Niang nodded towards them and said nothing.
She was still angry at this moment.
What about Mrs. Yao, who is so rude and makes her own daughter look down on an unknown man? What does this mean to her, the Jiang family?
Even if the people in the village are not very particular, they still know that before a man and a woman can get married, they must first get to know each other through a matchmaker. After getting to know each other's families, they can only meet each other with the permission of their parents.
Mrs. Yao's mouth opened and closed as if she was talking about a concubine for some man, and she looked down upon her own daughter. If she hadn't been at the Wu family today, she would have wanted to slap that woman in the face.
Ying Bao reached out and held A Niang's hand, silently comforting her.
Sensing her daughter's worry, Chun Niang calmed down and smiled at her: "This kang is quite warm, my mother is about to doze off."
Luo Zhao stretched out his head after hearing this: "Aunt Jiang, if you feel sleepy, just lie down for a while. I'll call you when the banquet starts."
"Okay." Chun Niang naturally couldn't lie down, so she just leaned on the big embroidered pillow and closed her eyes to sleep.
Upon seeing this, Xiaotong and Xiao Chengyu tiptoed out, but met Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun head-on.
"Second brother, let's go throw pots." Xiao Chengyu said with a wink and a flattering look on his face.
Xiao Chengjun looked at him with a cold face: "Where were you just now?"
"I haven't gone anywhere." Since Xiao Chengyu's father suffered a stroke, his and his mother's status in the family plummeted.
The eldest brother Xiao Mo doesn't care about anything, so Xiao Chengjun has the final say in the entire Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Chengyu was particularly afraid of this second brother.
Xiao Chengjun put his hands behind his hands and looked at his younger brother coldly: "You are not allowed to run around in other people's houses. You are not young anymore. If you bump into someone or disturb other people's girls, I will not let you go."
Xiao Chengyu suddenly opened his eyes wide and stammered: "I, I didn't hit anyone, and I didn't disturb other girls, I just..."
He suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.
The child helped defend: "We didn't disturb other people's girls. Sister Yingbao is not an outsider."
Xiao Chengjun's face darkened even more when he heard the name.
Chen Tiantian suddenly smiled gently and said, "So you are here to play with Yingbao. Is she kind to you?"
The child nodded: "Sister Yingbao also promised us to go to her house to play."
Xiao Chengyu also nodded quickly.
Chen Tiantian suddenly felt something in her heart, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, do you like Yingbao?"
Xiao Chengyu was confused, but still nodded.
Chen Tiantian covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned to Xiao Chengjun and said, "Chengjun, you see, I already have a girl I like. You go back and tell your wife that it's time to find a marriage for him."
Xiao Chengjun frowned: "How old is he? Our eldest brother hasn't gotten married yet, so why is it his turn to find a marriage for him?"
Chen Tiantian was speechless and already had some concerns in her heart.
When Xiao Chengyu saw Chen Tiantian telling his second brother that he had a girl he liked, he instantly understood what she meant and said angrily: "Who do you think you are! How dare you talk about my affairs!"
Although he is afraid of his second brother, he is not afraid of Chen Tiantian at all. He usually gives her some respect because she is Xiaotong's sister.
At this moment, she poked his sore foot, and Xiao Chengyu's little bully temper came up, and he scolded her regardless.
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Chengjun angrily scolded: "Go home now! Copy the Book of Rites fifty times!"
Xiao Chengyu curled his lips: "I don't!"
After that, he ran away.
The kid 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 interfere too much, my wife will be unhappy."
Xiao Chengjun sighed and patted Chen Tiantian's hand: "My stepmother is too doting. If I let her go, he will be even more lawless. Tiantian, I have wronged you. I will ground him for a month when I get back."
Chen Tiantian rested her head on Xiao Chengjun's shoulder and said in a low voice: "As long as your husband is here, I will not feel wronged."
The next day, Yingbao prepared some juice, but Xiao Chengyu and Xiaotong didn't come to the door.
She didn't care and was arranging potted plants in the three large flower rooms of her house.
As the New Year is approaching, the business of the Four Seasons Potted Plant Shop is very booming, and nobles from aristocratic families come to make reservations one after another.
Jiang Quan gave each pot of flowers a name, such as Good Luck, Garden Full of Wealth, God of Wealth, Longevity Flower, etc. Although the name is tacky, it fits the occasion.
Taking advantage of the good business during the New Year, Yingbao dug out all the flowers, large and small, planted in the cave, transplanted them into flower pots, and poured them with Pupil Spring, which would keep them unbeaten for two months.
But if these flowers were left outside to freeze overnight, they would probably die.
But whoever has too much money would put dozens of flowers in a pot to freeze in the ice and snow.
"Little lady, do you want a slave to help you?" Mu Dan asked outside the flower house through a straw curtain.
When Ying Bao was working in the flower room, no one could enter without her permission except Jiang Quan and Chun Niang, so Mu Dan only asked outside.
"No, you go and do your work. I'll be fine with this." Ying Bao stood up, admired the potted plants in the room, and started counting with charcoal.
There are thirty pots of mandarin trees, fifty pots of peonies, thirty pots of dandelions, fifty pots of peach trees, thirty pots of red plums, twenty pots of wintersweet, 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 they are all sold, they can make a net profit of thousands of taels.
After registering the accounts, Yingbao walked back to the greenhouse and suddenly saw snow falling outside.
The little girl Xinghua ran over, "Little lady, Mr. Erlang is back!"
"Er Langjun? Is it my second brother who is back?" Ying Bao hurriedly ran to A Niang's yard.
Xinghua and Mudan trotted behind them, "Yes, that's what Madam said."
Ying Bao ran into grandma's house and saw two teenagers standing in the house.
One is Hu Zi and the other is Jiang Wu.
"Huzi! Xiaowu!" Yingbao stepped forward and grabbed his brother, smiling from ear to ear: "You are finally back."
She hadn't seen Jiang Wu and Hu Zi for several years. When she looked at them again, she found that they had grown a lot taller and darker.
Especially Hu Zi, who already looks like a tall young man. If you meet him outside, you may not be able to recognize him.
Huzi bared his teeth and smiled, "Yingbao, you have grown into a big girl."
Jiang Wu also brought his face closer, pretending to be surprised: "Wow! Sister, you are changing into a woman, and she is getting uglier and uglier." (End of Chapter)
