Xia Daohua got home. When she appeared in front of people, she was wearing a cotton silk dress with refreshing colors, and her shoes were changed into soft cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.
The electric scooter, the motorcycle suit, the helmet and other items were all gone.
Xia Daohua emerged from a small alley about four or five hundred steps from Liuxiang Street and slowly walked to Daohuaxiang. She wanted to go into the store first to get an idea of how the business was going during her short absence.
However, as soon as I pushed the door and entered the store, I saw a handsome young man sitting in his usual seat, holding a book in his hands and reading silently.
The sunlight filtered through the window and fell on the young man, creating a golden rim around him and making him look as if he was sparkling.
Xia Daohua smiled faintly, turned around and went to the operation room near the bar. She put on an apron, washed her hands, and personally brewed a bowl of almond tea. She also added two snacks to the mix. With slow and silent steps, she brought it to the young man on a brown wooden tea tray.
"Brother, why are you here? Take a break first and try this."
The young man raised his eyes and saw Xia Daohua. A sunny smile instantly filled his entire face: "Daohua, you're back. Did you have fun today?"
"It was quite enjoyable. I met two acquaintances, concluded a business deal, and heard several plays."
Wu Lang couldn't help laughing when he heard Xia Daohua say this:
"How can you be so arrogant as to forget to discuss business when you're a guest at someone's house?"
Xia Daohua said with a smile:
"That's right. We have a clear division of labor in our family.
As for you, you are the pillar who studies hard and takes the imperial examination to bring honor to your family.
So, you squat in this store as a doorman for me, and don't forget to put down your book.
As for me, I am the money rake.
So even when visiting someone's house, you can't forget to talk business!"
The brother and sister chatted and laughed for a while, and their hearts became warmer.
Xia Daohua had actually asked Lihua to take care of the store's affairs.
The reason why Wu Lang was here at this moment was simply because he was worried about his sister who was attending the flower viewing party for the first time. He was afraid that she would be wronged outside.
Among Wulang’s classmates, there were also some children from wealthy families.
Therefore, he had some understanding of the interactions between these ladies. Although Wu Lang had great confidence in Xia Daohua's character and personality, he still had some concerns.
After chatting and laughing with Xia Daohua for a while, I felt relieved when I saw that she was in a good mood.
Xia Daohua knew exactly why her brother came, and she naturally felt very warmed by Wulang's silent care.
Now, Wulang will have a treat.
From that day on, Xia Daohua would cook a variety of delicious, appetizing, nourishing, and nutritious dishes for Wulang almost every day. Of course, in order to avoid being too partial, Xia Dalang would also get a portion every now and then.
The Xia family currently has only these two talented students, so of course they have to be taken good care of.
Although they had separated from the eldest wife and had experienced many unpleasant things, from beginning to end, Dalang and Zhu had never done anything too extreme.
Xia Daohua would naturally be extra tolerant towards Xia Dalang.
…
In the Xie family's Xianmei Garden, the guests have all said goodbye.
The servants, under the leadership of the steward, were cleaning up the mess in Xianmei Garden.
Xie Fanglan took off the mask of cheerfulness and generosity that she had worn all day, leaned on the beauty couch, and gently rubbed her forehead with her fingers through the handkerchief.
She has a terrible headache.
I have to deal with guests all day long and also deal with a bunch of emergencies. It's so annoying.
Ultimately, this matter should be blamed on his good father, County Magistrate Xie.
If he weren't such a womanizer, obsessed with reading at night with the company of beautiful women, and the idea that youth is wasted if it's not romantic, he wouldn't have so many concubines in his backyard, nor so many maids eager to climb into his bed, and certainly not so many illegitimate sons and daughters eager to compete with his legitimate sons and daughters for superiority...
County Magistrate Xie had four sons and seven daughters, of whom only the eldest son, the youngest son, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the seventh daughter, Xie Fanglan, were born to his wife. The rest of his children were born to concubines.
County Magistrate Xie's wife appears to be cheerful but secretly has a lot on her mind and is easily depressed.
Therefore, the body becomes weaker and weaker from its original strong state.
Fortunately, her children have grown up and are all quite promising and capable. The eldest daughter and the second daughter are already married, and although the eldest son has not yet married, he has already been engaged.
But by some strange coincidence, he was never able to marry this daughter-in-law.
Now only the marriages of the youngest son and the youngest daughter, Xie Fanglan, have not been settled.
Therefore, Mrs. Xie consciously handed over some of the housework to her youngest daughter, Xie Fanglan. On the one hand, it could promote her daughter's reputation, and on the other hand, it was also to let her practice in advance so that she would not be so busy after getting married.
Xie Fanglan understood her mother's concerns and her worries, and it was inevitable that she had some complaints about her father, County Magistrate Xie. But she never said anything, so as not to give anyone any handle.
In fact, she felt in her heart that she would never marry a man like her own father in the future.
She has seen enough of her own backyard.
If she were to marry a man like this in the future, she might as well cut her hair and become a nun!
The cause of Xie Fanglan's troubles was that at today's flower-viewing banquet, one of County Magistrate Xie's concubines and one of his maids actually got into a fight out of jealousy.
The two women, in public, completely ignoring the banquet still going on in the garden, actually got into a fight. Pulling hair, ripping clothes, slapping, pinching soft flesh... all kinds of despicable means were used.
Finally, they both tumbled into the lotus pond. Fortunately, in this season, the lotus pond was filled with only freezing water and mud that would have kept you stuck for a long time.
Otherwise, if her lotus flowers were stepped on, Xie Fanglan would be heartbroken!
As luck would have it, this incident happened to be witnessed by two guests who were changing clothes in the bathroom in the back garden. Fortunately, these two guests were the big-eyed, dark-skinned girl and his dear cousin Helan Yue.
Xie Fanglan took a lot of effort to appease the two people and make them promise not to spread the matter.
However, many guests noticed that the two had left the table and had not returned for a long time.
She tried to make things clear, hint, lie, and make up stories before she finally managed to get through this.
I'm so tired!
Tired!
She just found out that her peerless father, the talented and romantic scholar, Lord Xie, the County Magistrate, actually took in a carefree girl in his "study"!
It's still broad daylight!
He is not afraid of being reported by the censor!
