Jiang Yunniang smiled: "Auntie will make a few more later, and I will give them to my parents to try."
"Okay." After eating a meat pie and drinking a large bowl of vegetable soup, Yingbao's stomach was already very full.
"Aunt, why am I going alone? Where are my eldest cousin and my second cousin?" she asked.
Jiang Yunniang said while making meat cakes: "They went to Wase to sell meat cakes."
"Oh." Yingbao nodded. That's not bad.
At that time, uncle Zhang Jia came over from a distance and said to Jiang Yunniang: "Give him some money. Hong Shao is a little feverish. He begs to take her to the medicine hall for treatment."
Jiang Yunniang glanced at Zhang Jia coldly, "Where does he have money?"
The daughter of Hong Shaofo's concubine is almost two years old. She has been sick and coughing frequently recently.
"Why not? Where's the money I earned from Mingyue? Doesn't he think I don't want to give it to him on purpose so that Hong Shao can die of illness?" Zhang Jiaqiao's wife glared at her.
Jiang Yunniang glanced at her husband and sneered: "The three melons and two jujubes he earns are very poor. I eat them for five stones at a time. Does that count as money?"
Zhang Jia didn't know when he became addicted to Wushi San. He would take a dose every few months, and then he would spend the whole morning misbehaving with his concubine.
For example, Zhang Jia's body has begun to develop pustules on his neck, and the fishy smell can be smelled from a distance.
Jiang Yunniang was so disgusted that she was planning to rent two small houses elsewhere and bring her children to live there.
When Zhang Jia saw his wife harming him, he couldn't help but became furious. He pointed at her nose and cursed: "That poisonous woman of mine! He should have divorced me in the first place!"
"Stop him?" Jiang Yunniang sneered: "I'll give it a try!"
Not to mention that she had three brothers to back her up, which really pissed her off, so she sold the mother and son.
Zhang Jia glanced angrily at Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Cheng who were standing at the door of the shop. He squeezed his fists again and again, but finally did not dare to move his legs to hit them, so he turned and walked away.
Yingbao finally found out that Aunt Jiang was setting up a stall at the entrance of Shajue's shop.
Because if she goes elsewhere, she will definitely not be able to keep her money.
Not only would Zhang Jia come to forcefully beg for help, but the gang of ruffian relatives from my concubine’s family would also come to cause trouble.
My aunt set up a stall in front of the shop to completely prevent this kind of thing from happening.
Moreover, when the stall is closed every night, the tables and benches can be put into the shop, and the money can also be given to the eldest nephew to help her keep it.
Jiang Sanlang narrowed his eyes and watched Zhang Jia leave, then Jiang Yunniang said: "Close the stall early tomorrow, go to Dacheng's house for a simple meal in the morning, Dacheng will get engaged tomorrow, I will come with the children."
Is it a big deal for my nephew to be engaged? Since the aunts are right here, it seems inappropriate not to invite him to a meal to recognize his bride.
Jiang Yunniang nodded, "He will take care of it then."
The eldest nephew is engaged to be married to the daughter of a famous pastry shop in the county town.
Although my parents didn't come to the county town, my sister-in-law and two younger siblings were here, so I had to prepare a decent red envelope.
The next day, Dacheng and the matchmaker brought gifts and personally drove a carriage to the pastry shop to pick up shopkeeper Qiu and his family.
Tomorrow is actually not the date of the marriage, it means that it is not the confinement date for the wedding as agreed upon by the two families.
The dishes for the four-table banquet were all cooked by several cooks invited by Jiang Cheng. They were beautiful and rich.
At the same table were the male elders of the two families and two matchmakers.
There were women from both families at the table, and Ying Bao was among them.
The other two tables were occupied by the boys at home, and Jiang Yunniang's two sons were also walking with them.
Jiang Yunniang's husband Zhang Jia also came and walked at the table of male elders. But he didn't say a word and just immersed himself in drinking.
At the table, the two families discussed the wedding date of their children, and initially set it on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month.
It is said that having a daughter-in-law makes it easier to celebrate the New Year. Shopkeeper Qiu said cheerfully that he asked his daughter to go to the Jiang family as soon as possible to kowtow to her grandparents in the New Year and collect New Year's money.
The wedding date was naturally based on the woman's opinion. Uncle Jiang nodded in agreement without hesitation and said that a new house had been prepared in his hometown, and everything was new, and he would never treat his children badly.
Shopkeeper Qiu naturally has no objection.
He had gone through a lot of hard work to capture Jiang Cheng's golden son-in-law, and now he was finally done. He wished he could pack his daughter up and send her to Jiang's house as soon as possible.
In that year, the business of Jiangji Specialty Shop was booming, and it soon surpassed Rongfu Pastry Shop, which had been in business for decades.
Apart from other things, Jiang Cheng bought a two-bedroom house in the county town in a short period of time. Who can do this for an eighteen or nineteen-year-old child?
So he worked both ways and let his daughter do the job of delivering cakes. He asked her to make two more trips to deliver the goods that could be delivered at once, so that she could have more contact with the young man.
On the other side, he tried every means to invite Jiang Cheng to his home for dinner, and asked his wife to cook delicious food for him in person. In addition, he also asked for help from his wife. They went back and forth, and soon won Jiang Cheng's heart. The two young men inevitably grew closer and closer.
The more harmonious things become.
Shopkeeper Qiu thought proudly that it was thanks to his early legs that the old guy from Qianer's satin shop was looking for someone to ask about Jiang Cheng.
I know the old guy's situation best. He has several girls waiting to be married in his family.
Because Jiang Cheng often went to the pastry shop to pick up goods for a while, they saw him, so several young ladies always came to the specialty shop intentionally or unintentionally, asking if they wanted to buy pastries.
Their own pastry shop is right next door to their home. The pastries are cheap and freshly baked, and are hot and delicious.
Instead of buying cheap and delicious pastries, they ran two blocks away to buy them at a specialty shop.
Huh! Sima Zhao’s heart is known to everyone on the road!
Shopkeeper Qiu picked up a glass of wine, smiled at Jiang Dalang and said, "Come, come, in-laws, let us two have a cup."
Jiang Dalang even went to bring the wine to greet him: "Okay, in-laws, I'll do it first as a token of respect." As he spoke, he raised his neck and drank the whole drink.
After drinking two cups with Jiang Dalang, shopkeeper Qiu drank two cups with Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang one by one, and then toasted to Jiang Yunniang's husband Zhang Jia.
Zhang Jia sneered, murmured something with his tongue out loud, raised his neck and took a drink, then slammed the wine cup on the ground.
Everyone fell silent immediately.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunniang quickly came over with her eldest son to stop him, and apologized to everyone: "I can't help but Mr. Lang is drunk and confused, so take him back!"
After saying that, he took Zhang Jia and walked out.
Jiang Cheng paused for a moment, then got up to hitch the carriage and send them back.
None of the Jiang Dalang brothers look good here.
In fact, calling Zhang Jia over was not a last resort. After all, he was Jiang Cheng's biological uncle, and he had not reconciled with Jiang Yunniang.
I didn't expect him to be so rude and embarrassed in front of his relatives and matchmaker.
Shopkeeper Qiu didn't mind, he smiled and smoothed things over.
He has been in business for many years, what kind of person has he not seen?
People with low moral character like Zhang Jia will not have much potential in the future, and I don't even bother to care about them.
"You made me laugh." Although shopkeeper Qiu didn't care, Jiang Dalang had to apologize to him.
Shopkeeper Qiu shook his head: "There is no need to worry about the in-laws. We are all one family. There will be more relatives visiting each other in the future. We can meet people with all kinds of temperaments. It's nothing strange."
"No, no, a drunk man is the worst. When he wakes up, he won't remember anything." The two matchmakers agreed with a smile.
