Chapter 206 Mama's Boy
The store didn't need too many people, so Su Wan didn't stay in the store all the time. When he had nothing to do, he would accompany Su Yi to the small shop to watch the decoration.
This is the tenth day of the cold war with Jiang Yu. She temporarily understands it as a cold war, so it should count.
I kept repeating to myself, there are only five days left, I will be out in five days, really out.
Su Yi could see that his sister was absent-minded, and he couldn't help asking:
"Did you have a quarrel with Jiang Yu?"
"No." Su Wan denied it quickly.
"If not, why are you so absent-minded all day long?" To be honest, Su Yi's attitude towards Jiang Yu now is lukewarm.
Of course there is some affection, but he wanted to be his brother-in-law, and the probation period has not yet passed. Now that he has made Su Wan unhappy, he silently deducted points from him in his heart.
"Can't it be because of something else? Besides, what's the relationship between him and me? Why would I quarrel with him?"
Su Wan's tone was a little sour, but she didn't even notice it. The more she denied it, the more depressed she became.
Speaking of the quarrel, it was she who started it in the first place, and Jiang Yu inexplicably took on the blame for her anger caused by waking up in the morning.
If she didn't like to play it straight, she might still be fine now, but she doesn't regret it. If she can't even withstand this little test, what's the point of talking about love?
"Well, it's best if you don't have any other relationship."
Su Yi's tone was quite light, but there was a hint of sarcasm in it.
…
Yang Qingqing's second blind date also ended in failure. She was very angry and went to Su Wan to complain.
The second blind date didn't even deserve a name; in Yang Qingqing's mouth, he became that man.
She said that it was fine at the beginning. She looked more handsome and gentle than Meng Lin, and seemed to have a good temper. She didn't feel superior.
But the specific reason why she couldn't accept it later was that when he mentioned filial piety, he actually began to list one by one the etiquette she should follow when she married into her husband's family.
Their family also runs a small business. Her mother is a widow who raised her son alone. The family sells lanterns and the business is pretty good.
But despite this, their family was not a particularly wealthy family. At most, they were a well-off family. They hired maids to do laundry and cooking, and there were several old craftsmen making lanterns in the shop, so they considered themselves a wealthy family.
No matter what, she had no other requirements after marrying into his family, and it would not prevent her from showing up in public and working for Yuyan Hall, but there was one thing: she had to serve her mother-in-law well.
At first, Yang Qingqing thought that a filial man must have good character and was satisfied with it, but the following conversation left her speechless.
He required that Yang Qingqing visit her mother-in-law every morning and evening. She had to get up as soon as the rooster crowed to make breakfast, and personally bring it to her mother-in-law's room to help her wash and eat before she could go about her own business.
In the evening, before sunset, she must come back to prepare dinner and wait for her husband and mother-in-law to eat. In the evening, she must also fetch water to serve her mother-in-law the foot bath ceremony.
He is not allowed to refute his mother-in-law's lecture, and he must respond to her call whenever she calls him, because it is not easy for his mother to raise him alone. He hopes that his future wife can be filial to him, because he is a man, and these things are inconvenient after all.
The most infuriating thing was that he said that Yang Qingqing must give birth to a child within two years of marriage. It was not required that the first child must be a son, but a son must be born because their family was a single-line inheritance and the incense could not be broken. Finally, she had to read the rules for women and observe the code of conduct for women, and that was all.
"That's all. If you didn't know better, you would think he's not marrying a new bride, but buying a slave. He's so beautiful! Why don't you splash it on him right now to wake him up and stop daydreaming. Let him look in the mirror and see what kind of person he is. He's a mama's boy, and he has the nerve to show off in public. It's best for him to die alone. He won't bring disaster to others, and he'll lose a lifetime of merit because of it."
Su Wan couldn't stand this kind of man. As calm as she was, when she heard Yang Qingqing's description, she brought herself into the situation and became very angry.
Yang Qingqing watched her lips opening and closing, and then she uttered one sentence after another, each sentence was exquisite, and her tense little face couldn't help but laugh.
"If the matchmaker hadn't stopped me, I would have woken him up."
"For you, the road ahead is long and difficult. Why don't you go to the temple and draw a fortune stick to ask for your love?" Su Wan suggested sincerely.
Yang Qingqing also nodded in agreement. She wanted to ask the gods where her good marriage was.
"By the way, Wanwan, what is a mama's boy?"
Yang Qingqing had never heard of such a novel word before, and she thought it was not a good word.
Su Wan explained:
"A mama's boy is someone who listens too much to his mother and is completely centered around her ideas. He does whatever she says, agreeing unconditionally, and you can't object. This kind of guy often uses the fact that your mother raised him with great difficulty as an excuse to morally blackmail you. This kind of man lacks independent thinking, responsibility, and principles. Do you think the things this man says aren't inspired by his mother?"
Yang Qingqing nodded vigorously, because Su Wan's summary was so accurate:
"You're right, I learned a new word."
Yang Qingqing's marriage, just as Su Wan said, is a long and difficult road. She has successively met ordinary men, mama's boy, Phoenix man, and greasy man.
Every time Yang Qingqing came back, she complained, and nothing went her way, so she planned to take Su Wan to the temple to pray for a marriage.
Before this, Su Wan hadn't seen Jiang Yu for half a month. This was the last day of the deadline, and Su Wan was in a gloomy mood the whole day.
Until the guards around Jiang Yu came to her and said that Qiu Niang wanted her to go to Yueman West Tower to discuss something.
When Su Wan heard that the moon was full in the west tower, she became very alert. She dressed herself up beautifully and combed her hair very neatly. I don't know what she wanted to prove.
It was still the same private room as last time, but there was one less person this time. Yue Man Xi Lou still welcomed Su Wan warmly. When she went upstairs, she looked around but did not ask about Manager Luo.
Qiu Niang was waiting in the room, just like the last time they met, she was dressed in red clothes and looked very charming, with seductive eyes.
I showed her a few samples of small porcelain boxes, which contained the finished product of Ice Skin Jade Bone Cream, hand cream, and ordinary beauty cream. The Luozidai was packed in a mahogany box with a pink peach blossom branch painted on it, and contained three spiral-shaped pens, which was the legendary Guda luxury product Luozidai.
Those white porcelain boxes are all designed to be simple and elegant. Qiu Niang will put them on the shelves for sale in this form in the future. Please ask her to see if there is anything that needs to be changed.
Su Wan trusted Qiu Niang's work and was very satisfied with it, saying that there was no need to change it.
Moreover, Qiu Niang has already taken a fancy to the shop space of Bingjitang, which is not far from Yuyantang and is currently under renovation. It has two floors, and the workshop has been decided and is preparing stocks in the coming days.
Su Wan nodded repeatedly to express her satisfaction. This professional is about doing things quickly and exquisitely. However, at the end, she couldn't help but mention:
"Is your young master so busy? He is the owner of Bingjitang after all, but he doesn't care about it at all."
