Chapter 118 An unexpected encounter
Aunt Zhou has been having a headache recently. After asking around, she found out that some of the people here either have good family backgrounds but their personalities are not very good, or they come from poor families and are timid.
This one right now is pretty good!
Although the little girl is not as pretty as her sister-in-law, she is also a beautiful girl from a small family. She seems to be very efficient in her work and behaves in a generous and generous manner.
I heard that she was learning craft from her aunt. Her temperament is very similar to her aunt, which makes people feel comfortable when looking at her.
Aunt Zhou looked up at her silly son again and saw his silly look?
The more Aunt Zhou thought about it, the better she felt about it. However, she felt a little regretful. Since Gun Niang was younger, she probably wouldn't be allowed to marry off so early. Although her son liked her, the girl wasn't willing.
No matter what, I have to fight for this silly boy of mine. He finally found someone who makes him want to start a family.
As Aunt Zhou thought about this, she looked at Xinting with more and more kindness.
Xinting noticed this gaze and was very confused. She looked up and saw that it was Aunt Zhou. Then she asked politely, "Aunt, do you want sweet soup too?"
Oh, what a polite child! The more Aunt Zhou looked at it, the more satisfied she became.
Then he handed the bowl over with a smile, "Okay, thank you for your help, Miss Xinting."
Xinting smiled and said, "Auntie, you're welcome."
Zhou Yuanjia was a little confused. His mother never liked sweet food. Why did she like it now? He looked up at his mother.
Then I saw her hidden look and my face turned red.
Aunt Zhou couldn't take care of her silly son at this time. During the meal time, she always observed Xinting quietly.
During meal time, Xinting not only ate herself, but also took care of Yunmo who was beside her from time to time. She was very considerate and loved children very much. She was really nice.
Aunt Zhou liked her more and more. Before the banquet was over, she asked He: "I haven't asked you before, who is this child Xinting?"
"Xinting and Xun'er are cousins, both nephews and nieces of my daughter-in-law." Although these two children are not her own, after coming to the Gu family, He treated them as her own. Everything that her own children have, these two also have.
Whenever He talked about her child, she became happy and energetic. "This girl is very clever and smart. Her aunt taught her how to cook and make snacks, and she can learn very quickly."
He looked up at Yun Sheng, her mouth full of food, and sighed, "My Yun Sheng has grown up. If he could be half as good as Xin Ting, I would wake up laughing in the middle of the night."
When He thought of Yun Sheng's temperament, she began to worry. She said that he was not a child anymore and all he did all day was eat. Alas!
Aunt Zhou was surprised: "She is learning the craft from her aunt, that's incredible. I heard that your daughter-in-law's craft is inherited from the family, right?"
He smiled and said, "What family tradition? My Meng Niang doesn't care about that. It's nothing more than some cooking skills. The people in my restaurant and the apprentices in Jinxiuxuan, as long as they want to learn and are attentive, my Meng Niang will teach them well and never hide anything."
Aunt Zhou was also from the West District, so naturally she had heard of Xu Qingmeng's reputation on West Street. The Zhou family had also eaten the food at the Gu family restaurant, especially the dim sum at Jinxiuxuan. Even though she didn't dislike sweets, she couldn't get enough of the dim sum at Jinxiuxuan.
In addition, Chen Ji Grocery Store also sells Gu’s homemade chili oil, garlic chili sauce, and mushroom meat sauce.
The taste was really good, especially the things in the dessert shop, they were so novel, even she who didn't like sweets was amazed.
Aunt Zhou, like everyone else on West Street at the time, felt that the Gu family had married a good daughter-in-law, but she didn't think about anything else.
Aunt Zhou thought that her hope of marrying such a capable wife was nothing but a fantasy.
Looking around, among all the families in the West District, how many can be as capable as Xu Qingmeng? Now that people know that Xinting is so capable and she is learning a craft from her aunt, I'm afraid she will be sought after by many families in the future.
Aunt Zhou looked at her son and suddenly became worried. Her son's knowledge was not as good as that of his uncle Gu Yunyi.
Although the head of her family is an accountant, the family is not short of money. However, for so many years, the head of the family has earned money alone and three people have to spend it, so there is not much wealth in the family. In the future, he will definitely not be able to earn as much as the Gu family.
Then look at the silly look of his own son, who didn't even dare to look at the girl, and kept discussing academic matters with Gu Yunyi. Sigh!
It seems that the girl may not really like her son.
well!
When Zhou Yuanjia looked up, he saw his mother looking at him and sighing, very confused: "Mom, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
well! This guy has no tact. He likes someone but doesn't know how to show his courtesy and just keeps discussing academic matters.
That’s terrible!
Aunt Zhou was extremely depressed during the meal, but she did not show it on the surface. She did her best to save face and was extremely enthusiastic when talking to He.
After the meal, everyone decided with Xun Ge'er the time to go to Zhou's house every day, the three festivals and six ceremonies, the tuition money, etc. The meal was considered to be over.
Mrs. He and Aunt Zhou have very compatible personalities. They even made an appointment to go shopping together later. They have a close relationship like real sisters.
Xu Qingmeng also thought it was a good thing. Mrs. Zhou was a cheerful person.
After the Zhou and Gu families separated, He raised her head and glanced inconspicuously at Xinting, who was playing with Yun Sheng and Yun Mo.
Then, he smiled again and looked at Gu Yunyi: "I heard that Zhou Yuanjia is not married yet?"
Gu Yunyi did not think much about it at the moment: "Brother Zhou is still two years away from coming of age. He has been concentrating on the imperial examinations and studying in the past few years. I guess he has been delayed."
After saying that, he looked up and glanced at Xu Qingmeng.
To be honest, if he had not been bedridden at the time and He had not believed the fortune teller and caused this to happen, I think if he was healthy, he probably would not have gotten married so early.
Now that I think about it, I am quite grateful to the mastermind behind this. It was an unexpected coincidence that allowed Xu Qingmeng to be by his side.
"This should have ended several years ago, but it was only passed this year." He said with a hint of disgust after hearing this.
Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but laugh secretly. Did He really think that everyone could have the same fate as Gu Yunyi and get away with it?
Not to mention ten years of hard study, even many people who have studied for most of their lives still end up being just a scholar, and some even remain just a student their entire lives.
What's more, Zhou Yuanjia was only eighteen years old and had only participated in two sessions at most.
This is how Gu Yunyi explained it to He.
After listening to this, He felt that her demands were a bit too high.
