59 Production
Chen Lan and her husband also congratulated their second brother on becoming a member of the Imperial Guard.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her son. "You are successful now, but you have to take care of your health. Look at how dark you have become."
Although she had always hoped that her son could be a scholar like Dalang and Sanlang, and have some scholarly spirit, she did not expect that he would become like her husband, the reckless man.
But now that her son has become successful, she is also worried about him.
Xiao Hetian nodded, "My son understands. Don't worry. He is a little darker, but he is also a lot stronger. When Minqiu gives birth to a big fat boy, I will let him practice with me!"
Li stopped him quickly, "Don't!"
She wants her grandson to become the top scholar, so why not practice with him? Doesn’t she think there’s enough darkness at home? !
Only my second uncle's family has a scholarly demeanor, the others, including my father-in-law, are rough men.
Zhang Minqiu was confused and didn't know who to listen to. She felt that it was good to look like her husband...at least he looked reassuring!
Fortunately, Li didn’t know what Zhang Minqiu was thinking, otherwise she would be so angry that she would die!
Xiao Hetian laughed innocently, "Then let him be good at both civil and military affairs in the future!"
Zhang Minqiu followed behind and nodded, pecking at the rice. This is good!
"Second brother's children will naturally be good at both civil and military affairs. Second brother is good at martial arts, and second sister-in-law is knowledgeable about literature. The children they raise will definitely not be bad." Xiao Tingyun comforted Li with a smile.
She naturally understood Li's feelings. She originally liked literati, but her eldest uncle was a military general and placed his hopes on his son, and her second brother was a literary lover.
In the end, I can only pray that my grandson can be more cultured.
Li stared at her son and his wife with disdain, doubting whether they could raise a child who was both talented in literature and martial arts. ?
Don't be silly again. Look at your daughter-in-law, she is so happy.
But naturally, everyone will be happy to hear nice words.
"I hope it will be like what Ayun said!" Li was cheerful and energetic.
Zhang Minqiu touched her belly happily, fortunately her husband came back before she gave birth.
If I miss it, I will really regret it.
The murder case was still unsolved, and within just two days, the weather was already rapidly warming up.
Xiao Tingyun felt a bit tired due to the hot weather and wanted to use some ice in the room, but Song was worried about her health and refused to give her more.
The trees in the yard were all wilted. Xiao Tingyun had no appetite due to the heat. The few pounds of fat he had gained in the spring were lost in an instant, and he became even thinner.
Xiao Tingyun lay on the chaise longue, fanning herself gently with a fan in her hand.
Lanzhi came in and whispered, "Miss, Aunt Meng is here."
Xiao Tingyun opened his eyes and said, "Let her in."
The woman called Aunt Meng slowly walked into Shuyu Tower. She was only thirty years old. She had her hair in a bun and her figure was neat and clean.
"Aunt Meng, you're here!" Xiao Tingyun looked unhappy and pointed to a seat for someone to sit down.
Aunt Meng frowned, "Are you feeling unwell again?"
"Miss has been suffering from the hot summer these days and has no appetite, so she was thinking of using ice!" Lanzhi couldn't help complaining.
"Don't listen to that little girl's nonsense. Isn't it normal to have no appetite in hot weather?" Xiao Tingyun glared at her weakly.
When Aunt Meng heard this, she stopped thinking.
"Luzhi, ask the kitchen to make a few ice bowls so Aunt Meng can cool down from the heat."
"I think you want to cool down from the heat?!" Aunt Meng asked her in disbelief, after all, her eyes were shining.
Xiao Tingyun couldn't refute it, so he just smiled and agreed, "Everyone should cool down from the heat."
Luzhi agreed and went to the kitchen.
"What are you doing here? Was there any accident in the shop?" Xiao Tingyun asked.
Aunt Meng is the owner of the shops under her name. She has many shops, but she does not show up in person. Everything is done by Aunt Meng.
Xiao Tingyun was only responsible for giving some advice and providing the initial capital.
"There's nothing big happening in our shop. I just thought that the weather has been hot recently and our clothing shop hasn't had any new styles for a while, so I wanted to ask you if you have any new styles. Besides... I've heard about what happened in your family, and I've wanted to come over to see how you're doing for a long time." Aunt Meng sat down and said softly.
Xiao Tingyun thought for a moment and said to Lanzhi, "Go and get the top three pictures from my drawer box."
"Okay!" Lanzhi went to look for it happily. After all, the patterns drawn by the young lady were the freshest.
Aunt Meng's eyes lit up. Businessmen love to climb up the ladder. "Only three?"
Xiao Tingyun was speechless: ...
"How many more do you want?"
"You only take out one or two every one or two months. This time it's been three months, and you've only taken out three!" Aunt Meng held up three fingers and denounced with confidence.
"You also said that I only get one or two every two months, but this time it's three!!" Xiao Tingyun also imitated her and made the number three, feeling even more justified!
"Aunt Meng, here's the picture for you!" Lanzhi took the picture and handed it to her carefully.
Aunt Meng's eyes were full of smiles. It was all money. She opened it and looked at it carefully. "Not bad!!"
Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows proudly, "Can my drawing be wrong?"
Aunt Meng folded the paper carefully and complimented her, flattering but not vulgar, "Yes, yes, yes, the works of the Third Miss of the Xiao family are naturally exquisite!"
"That's right!" Lanzhi put her hands on her hips and raised her head to express her agreement.
"Don't join in the fun." Aunt Meng attacked mercilessly.
Lanzhi stamped her feet, "You only bully me!"
Aunt Meng said innocently, "Who said that? I also bully your young lady!"
"You see, I can't save you. I can't even save myself." Xiao Tingyun spread her hands towards Lanzhi. She was often urged to finish her work, just like a laborer who had signed an illegal contract!
"Hey, hey, hey - don't act pitiful in front of me. It's useless. You still have to keep drawing pictures, otherwise my shop will lose its reputation." Aunt Meng stopped him loudly, "Do you know how many people come here every day just for your reputation? As soon as the pictures are out and the clothes are made, they are sold out immediately!"
"Can you really bear to release a picture every few months?"
Xiao Tingyun had a blank expression on his face, "I can't bear it."
Aunt Meng: ...Yes...
All the heartfelt words have to be put back again, what a waste of words!
Fortunately, Luzhi's ice bowl came to the rescue in time, and Aunt Meng's depressed heart finally got a little comfort.
Xiao Tingyun is even more so. She has had enough of this damn summer!
After cooling off from the heat, Aunt Meng excitedly left with the picture, without staying for a moment, as she couldn’t wait to witness the emergence of new styles!
My second sister-in-law suddenly started moving.
The weather was extremely hot and humid. When Xiao Tingyun arrived, there was a circle of people standing there, including several sisters-in-law.
Song held her back worriedly, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come? What if you get a heat stroke?"
"My second sister-in-law suddenly started to act, and I was worried, so I came to see her. Mother, how long will it take?"
Song said, "It looks like it's already night, and there's still a lot of people waiting. Why don't you go back first? There are a lot of people here. It's okay. Your aunt is inside."
There were indeed a lot of people, with servants carrying basins coming in and out, and my second brother was waiting anxiously outside, sweating profusely from the heat.
Chen Lan was there too, and said to Xiao Tingyun, "If Third Sister can't stay here, why don't you go to An Ge'er's yard first? He's alone in the yard, and it's closer to here."
"Yes, you go to An Ge'er's yard for a while, and I will have someone inform you if there is any news." Song said.
