Chapter 169 Why should I serve her?
"Mom, I'm fine." Xiao Jiuyue was amused by Su's behavior. She said, "I'm just curious and want to ask the Taoist priest who saved me that year."
"Are you really okay?" Su Shi didn't believe it and insisted on checking Xiao Jiuyue thoroughly to confirm that she was not injured or uncomfortable anywhere. Then she said, "Hey, maybe this is what Buddhists call fate."
"By the way, aren't you going to the capital? How many days will you be gone? I've prepared some clothes for you. Come and try them on." Su said as she pulled Xiao Jiuyue to her room. She showed her clothes one by one. Xiao Jiuyue was stunned: "Mom, when did you make these?"
Isn't Meirenniang busy making clothes at Zhiyun Tower every day? How could she still have time to make clothes for her?
"If you make a little every day and save up enough, you'll have several sets." Su said with a smile, holding up a light pink dress and said, "Look, this color is so pink, just like a newly blooming peach blossom. It will definitely look good on you."
"And this one, aqua, is like the color of spring. You have fair skin, so green makes you look even whiter."
Su introduced the clothes one by one. Xiao Jiuyue looked at the clothes. Every stitch was made by Su herself. She said, "Mother, you have to embroider and make clothes during the day. Don't stay up late to make clothes for us at night. I have plenty of clothes."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her new clothes, watched Su tie her belt around them, and listened to her nagging, "A girl, when she's out, how can she go without a change of clothes? It's June, girl, and if it rains, what will I have to change into if I run out of clothes?"
"Besides, I'm happy to make clothes for you." Su adjusted her clothes and said, "I just said that this color suits you. Isn't the light purple beautiful?"
Su looked at the graceful Xiao Jiuyue in the mirror. When she thought of her marriage, her eyes became red. If the Xiao family had not encountered trouble, she would have been married long ago.
"It looks good." Xiao Jiuyue opened her arms and hugged Su and said, "Thank you, mother."
Xiao Jiuyue's clothes, shoes and socks were all made by Su Shi stitch by stitch. She said, "When I come back from the capital, I'll bring you some delicious food. You must protect your eyes. If they get damaged, I won't be able to wear the clothes you made for me."
Xiao Jiuyue was really afraid that his beautiful mother would damage her eyesight from overwork.
"You little girl." Su was originally still feeling sad about the passing of time, but she was instantly amused and said, "Your mother's eyes are fine, she will definitely not be damaged by overwork."
"Then mother has to promise me that when I go to the provincial capital, you are not allowed to cry, use embroidery needles, or mend shoes at night!" Xiao Jiuyue took the opportunity to speak.
Su paused. Xiao Jiuyue pursed her lips, raised her hand to rub her eyes, and sighed, "Alas, I don't know what's going on in the restaurants in the capital. If Mom cries at home, if she stays up all night embroidering, how can I, as her daughter, explain this to Dad?"
"The restaurant is opening, and things are so busy. I..." Before Xiao Jiuyue could finish her complaint, Su said hurriedly, "Yuer, isn't it enough that I promised you that you can go back to the capital and work peacefully. You don't have to worry about anything at home."
"Isn't it okay if I don't cry and don't do embroidery at night?" Su felt sorry for Xiao Jiuyue. She went out to earn money in public. If she still made her daughter worry, wouldn't that be a sin?
"Yu'er, Zhiyunlou is making money every day now. Otherwise, the restaurant in Hongdu City would be…" Before Su finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue interrupted, "Mother, although I am not a man, how can I break my promise to others?"
Su: “…”
"Mom, just watch carefully. I will definitely make Fengchunlou the best restaurant in Hongdu." Xiao Jiuyue said with great passion. After leaving his beautiful mother, Xiao Jiuyue was in a particularly good mood.
The fresh noodles and various dry goods sent from Lingnan are her greatest confidence!
Dried kelp can be used to make cold shredded vegetables. This dish is refreshing and delicious in summer.
Dried shrimps can enhance the flavor, and as for dried scallops, she plans to make a simple version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Coincidentally, her father and the others have prepared a lot of seafood, so making a simple version is both nutritious and delicious!
It’s a pity that there is no dried abalone, otherwise it would be even better!
Xiao Jiuyue sat in the room and began to write letters to his father and others, asking them to see if there were any seafood in Lingnan that could be dried and send them all to Hongdu!
Dried salted fish is even easier to make. Spicy salted fish, salted fish and eggplant casserole, and braised salted fish all taste great. You can just rotate them when the time comes.
…
"It's too hot." The tea in Fang Caiwei's hand splashed directly onto the ground, spilling tea all over Cheng Fangjiao's skirt.
"Oh, Fangjiao, I know you don't like me, but the baby in my belly is your nephew!" Fang Caiwei protected her belly, looking panicked and scared.
"Cheng Fangjiao!"
Cheng's mother had just entered the room and saw this scene. She raised her hand and slapped her: "I told you a long time ago that Caiwei is pregnant. Let's not worry about the past. Why did I let you serve tea and almost burn Caiwei?"
Unlike the cold and harsh way she scolded Cheng Fangjiao, when facing Fang Caiwei, Cheng's mother seemed particularly gentle and said, "Caiwei, are you feeling well in your stomach?"
Fang Caiwei shook her head and said with red eyes: "Mom, the child is fine, just scared."
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you apologize to Caiwei?" Cheng's mother looked at Cheng Fangjiao who was standing there in a daze and shouted.
"I won't." Cheng Fangjiao covered her slapped face and said, "Mom, I'm the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, and she's just a concubine. Why should I serve her?"
"Wuwu." Fang Caiwei sobbed softly, wiping her tears and choking, "Mother, don't blame Fangjiao. If you want to blame someone, blame me for being just a concubine."
"Caiwei, haven't we already discussed this matter with Auntie? Once the child is born, I'll make the decision and have Yanwen marry you. This was all a misunderstanding." After comforting Fang Caiwei, Mother Cheng looked at Cheng Fangjiao and said, "Fangjiao, apologize to your sister-in-law."
Cheng Fangjiao looked at Cheng's mother in disbelief, not understanding why the Cheng family's attitude towards Fang Caiwei changed overnight. She gritted her teeth and looked at Fang Caiwei. Unlike the aggrieved look just now, a hint of pride flashed across Fang Caiwei's face when she looked at her.
Cheng Fangjiao swallowed the apology stuck in her throat and said, "I would rather die than apologize."
After saying this, Cheng Fangjiao ran out crying.
"Cheng Fangjiao, come back here." Mother Cheng's face turned black with anger.
Fang Caiwei stood up, took Cheng's mother's arm and said, "Mom, it's okay. Fangjiao is young."
Hearing this, Cheng's mother became even angrier: "She is one year older than you. No, I have to find a husband for her. If she continues like this, what will happen?" Cheng Fangjiao didn't listen to a word she said!
Fang Caiwei lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly. Cheng Fangjiao, I will definitely find a good marriage for you!
