Chapter 317 He fell in love with her at first sight
After the two of them finished their meal early in the morning, Jiang Duo took Mingzhu to the entrance of the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City.
After he asked Mingzhu to wait for him at the gate for a while, he went to a photo studio not far away and asked someone to take a few photos of the two of them at the gate. In
this era, the camera rolls had to be washed after taking photos, and the photos could not be obtained on the same day.
Jiang Duo made an appointment with someone to pick them up three days later.
The two of them bought tickets to enter the Forbidden City. When Mingzhu saw the ticket price, she was shocked. The ticket price of 60 yuan in the future was only 1 cent at this moment.
This price...
After going in and taking a big circle, Mingzhu was even more speechless. Many places where tourists stopped in the future were actually open to the public now.
Taking this opportunity, she took Jiang Duo around.
When Mingzhu was tired from strolling, the two of them immediately returned.
After leaving the Forbidden City, Jiang Duo took Mingzhu to eat a bowl of fried noodles with soybean paste, and returned home after eating and drinking.
Jiang Duo had something else to do in the afternoon, so after sending Mingzhu home, he lit the stove for her and let her take a nap, and then he went out first.
Mingzhu sat on the bed, bored and about to take a nap, but there was a knock on the door.
She was not sure if someone was knocking on her door, so she did not move.
After a while, a childish voice came from outside the door: "Auntie Jiang, open the door..."
Jiang family? Is he calling her?
Mingzhu got out of bed, put on her coat and went out. She thought it was Zhuangzhuang, after all, when she came here, she met such a child who could call her aunt.
But unexpectedly, the one who came was a little girl of eight or nine years old, accompanied by a woman of about 30 years old.
Mingzhu was puzzled for a moment, "Who are you..."
The middle-aged woman pointed to the west wing: "Sister, I'm from the west room next door."
"Oh..." Mingzhu suddenly realized, "Sister-in-law of the Li family, right? I wonder if you are... the eldest sister-in-law or the second sister-in-law?" "
I'm from the old family. I heard yesterday that you two came back to live here. We didn't have time to come over to say hello. It's just right. I fried some dishes for lunch today and came to bring you some food."
Mingzhu took a look at the fried shredded potatoes on the plate that had no fishy smell at all, and her mind was a little dazed.
Do people here rely on delivering food to get along with their neighbors?
But...
"I appreciate your kindness, sister-in-law. My husband and I came back from dinner outside today and are full now. This dish looks delicious. You can go home and eat it by yourselves. Don't waste it."
Li's sister-in-law smiled awkwardly: "Well... okay, I'll bring it to you later when you haven't eaten."
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so troublesome. We'll stay here for a few days and then go back."
"Oh," Li's sister-in-law said as she looked into her yard: "Where are you going to live?"
Mingzhu looked at her eyes and raised her eyebrows: "Nanshi."
"Oh, you and Xiaojiang live in Nanshi, that's really far away."
"For now, we'll be back soon."
"Is that so?" Li's sister-in-law rolled her eyes, as if she didn't hear the second half of Mingzhu's words. She just nodded and smiled at Mingzhu: "Well... OK, I won't bother you anymore and will go back first."
"Sister-in-law, take care. Little friend, take care too."
The little girl pouted at Mingzhu, seeming to be in a bad mood.
Li's sister-in-law took her home. As soon as the little girl entered her house, she was depressed: "Mom, I want to eat meat dishes. Didn't you say that I can bring shredded potatoes to this aunt's house to exchange for meat dishes? Why..." "
Hmph."
Outside the wall, silence was restored, leaving only the sound of hurried footsteps.
Mingzhu: "..."
The case was solved. The person who was eavesdropping at the wall last night was found.
So, this sister-in-law didn't come to make friends with neighbors, but to make a plan for herself.
Because the Niu family changed to meat dishes last night, this guy followed suit and came to her to change meat dishes.
This is really, Xiaodao pulled the butt, which opened people's eyes.
Mingzhu smiled speechlessly, turned and went into the house to take a nap.
Originally, she wanted to sleep until she woke up naturally, but she was sleeping soundly here, and there was a knock on the door again.
Mingzhu turned over and opened her eyes irritably.
It's so noisy!
No! She must buy this house back. She must have this big yard alone, plant flowers, raise fish and hang swings in the yard, so that no one can disturb her again!
She sat up and rubbed her face in annoyance. A smiling voice came from the door: "Sister, I am your sister-in-law from the Li family. I am here to visit you."
Thinking that she still had to buy a house, Mingzhu got out of bed and said, "Okay, let's receive the guest."
She gathered her clothes, came out and opened the door.
Outside the door, there was not only the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family who came at noon, but also the young wife who was waiting at the door yesterday at noon with her child in her arms.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family introduced warmly: "Sister, let me introduce you, this is my sister-in-law."
Mingzhu nodded to the other party, "The second sister-in-law of the Li family, right?"
The woman looked Mingzhu up and down, and finally her eyes fell on Mingzhu's face, which was as white, tender and beautiful as a peeled egg.
Yesterday at noon, she was taking care of the children in the yard, so she heard the eldest aunt of this family say to her daughter when she went out: "No one in the family can accept this country bumpkin. Let's see how long she can last in the Jiang family!"
Seeing the woman's scrutinizing gaze, Mingzhu felt a little uncomfortable. Before she could say anything, the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family said, "Sister, can we go in and talk to you?"
It is never advisable to hit a smiling person. What's more, Mingzhu had to find an opportunity to get to know these two people well, so that she could know herself and the enemy.
"Okay, please come in."
Mingzhu invited the two into the house. As soon as they entered, Li's eldest sister-in-law exclaimed, "Oh, sister, your house is so warm."
"Well, the stove is always on, so it's not particularly cold," she said, and placed the tea tray with melon seeds and candies on the table between the two of them.
The second sister-in-law of the Li family sat on the reception chair on the east side of the wall with the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family, and said in a light tone: "Sister-in-law, don't be so short-sighted. I heard that the Jiang family is a high-ranking official. The family conditions are good, so coal can be burned at will. Jiang's daughter-in-law, you really enjoy the benefits of following the Jiang family. I also heard that you are from the countryside. How did you win such a powerful man like Jiang Duo?"
Mingzhu originally wanted to boil water and make a cup of tea for the two people, but when she heard the sour tone, she simply put her hands in her arms, sat on the main seat on the east side of the soft couch, and looked at the two people. When
the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family heard what the second sister-in-law said, she frowned and rolled her eyes at her sister-in-law.
She was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when she heard Mingzhu say slowly, "Depend on my face. Because I am good-looking, my man fell in love with me at first sight, so we got married. If the second sister-in-law of the Li family could also be more beautiful, maybe she could also have such a blessing." The second
sister-in-law of the Li family's face sank, and she was obviously a little unhappy.
Mingzhu did not give her a chance to speak, but asked directly, "Sisters-in-law, what is the matter with you coming to my house today?"
The two sisters-in-law of the Li family looked at each other, and the eldest sister-in-law smiled and said, "Sister, we really have something to ask you. At noon, you said that you would go back to Nanshi in a few days, so... can we stay in your house for a while?"
