Chapter 167 You Also Bet on Stones
Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional national festival, China is a vast country with different customs in different places, but the three thousand roads lead to the same destination. No matter how many changes in customs, they all imply the desire to love life and the yearning for a better life. .
The festive season is approaching, and people all over the country are celebrating the Reunion Festival happily. Schools are also on holiday. At first-class universities such as Qingdao University and Beijing University, old students are on holiday, and freshmen are training as usual in the morning and only have a half-day off in the afternoon.
Therefore, while people across the country are enjoying the holidays happily, the freshmen of Qingdao University arrive at the training ground as scheduled in the morning, sweat like rain under the sun, and accept the test of how steel is made.
During the traditional festival, the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms fragrantly throughout the season, giving the most sincere gift for this festival; banners and flags are flying all over the city of Kyoto, and flowers arranged in various shapes are colorful and colorful. With the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus lingering, the city is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and everywhere is prosperous.
The scenic spots in the capital have become a sea of people, and the cars on the long avenues are as dense as stars. The most important thing is that there are no restrictions on national holidays, which has almost paralyzed traffic.
Mrs. Chao's family of six people and two cars set out at 7:30 in the morning. As a result, there was a traffic jam. The journey that originally took only half an hour at normal speed took two hours and still didn't arrive. After a long time, they finally moved out of the traffic queue. The team arrived at their destination at 9:40.
There are three Chao brothers, the eldest is Chao Shengguo, the second is Chao Sheng'an, and the third is Chao Shenghui. The character "Sheng" refers to the generation of the Chao family. The old man Chao, Chao Xinghua, expresses the hope that China will be revitalized, prosperous and prosperous. He also named his son accordingly. The meaning of his word is to form the beautiful wish of "rejuvenating the country and bringing peace to the country".
Logically speaking, Chao's father should have been named Shengbang when he was ranked down. However, he did not use the word "bang" because he actually had an older brother above him. According to the ranking, it was Chao Shengbang. Unfortunately, the child died when he was born. Although he is gone, Mr. Chao The couple couldn't bear to deprive the unlucky child of his name, so they let the child who died take away Chao Shengbang's name, hoping that he would have a name and a surname in this life, so that he would not become a lonely ghost and be reincarnated into a good family in the next life.
According to the old tradition, children who died at birth and have not yet entered the family tree do not occupy the ranking. The family ranking is only based on the descendants listed on the family tree. Even if they are listed on the family tree, even if they die young, the ranking will still be retained. Therefore, the brother above Chao's father has already Yao didn't occupy the ranking, he was still the third child.
The three sons of the Chao family each have their own careers, and the eldest and the third are both engaged in politics.
The second eldest son of the Chao family, Chao Sheng'an, was not interested in politics at all. He went into business as he liked. Not to mention he actually did a big business. He was far-sighted and invested in the oil industry and catering services. Now he holds equity in the oil fields. He owns equity interests in multiple gas stations and has more than a dozen star-rated hotels under his name. In recent years, he has also set his sights on emerging energy sources. He is truly a talented person.
Chao Laoer bought several properties for his brothers in the capital. His favorite property was a courtyard villa. It was not a preserved ancient courtyard house with history, but an antique courtyard villa.
The Chao family's car arrived at the villa area and followed the road paved with bluestones to the door of Chao Laoer's house. There, a beautiful woman stood under the eaves of the courtyard gate, eagerly looking forward to it. When she saw the car approaching, she started running like a joy, while She ran and shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, third uncle, third aunt, Auntie Ge, brother Bo, you are finally here, but you miss me so much!" The young
beauty was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a red casual shirt and denim hot pants. She has jet-black hair tied into a ponytail, phoenix eyes and peach cheeks, and a smooth, white hibiscus face, full of the aura of a young girl.
She is Chao Sheng'an's only daughter, Chao Yufu, who is 22 years old this year and is studying at the National University of China to graduate in June next year.
The Chao family does not favor boys over girls. Girls are ranked according to their seniority just like boys, and their names are also chosen according to the genealogy. Chao’s boss also gave birth to a daughter named Chao Yuming. The second daughter’s daughter, Chao Yufu, at first glance , all thought it was a boy.
Miss Chao Er has a cheerful nature and is informal. As the saying goes, she has no liver, no lungs, and no city in her heart. She has a selfless heart and a broad mind. She is full of positive energy every day, willful and casual.
Seeing their granddaughter running around like a puppy, Mrs. Chao and Mr. Chao beamed with joy, and all the worries they had accumulated due to the traffic jam were suddenly swept away.
Park the car outside the hospital and everyone gets off in turn.
Chao Yufu ran to his grandparents, squeezed into the middle, held his grandpa with his left hand, and grandma with his right hand. He hugged the elders on the left and right, and gave the left one to the "pop" and the right one to the grandfather. A sweet kiss from grandma.
She succeeded in stealing the kiss, she was so happy that she squinted her eyes to find where they were, and proudly showed her neat silver teeth: "Grandpa, Grandpa, Queen Mother, Grandma Jin An, your baby wants to spoil you, ah, ah, no, no, no, now You should not call me the Supreme Empress and the Empress Dowager. You have been upgraded again. You are all old people with great-grandchildren. You should call me the Supreme Empress and the Empress Dowager. Oh, this name is so long that it makes me dizzy." Being fragrant by
granddaughter The angry old man pretended to be angry and glared at his granddaughter, but did not push her away. He enjoyed her closeness. The old lady was so happy that her face turned into a blooming sunflower: "You are the most naughty, you follow a monkey all day long. Jumping up and down like a baby, and making up some random names, it’s hard to make people laugh.”
“Who dares to laugh, I’ll beat him to death.” Miss Chao Er shouted, jumped up, and rushed towards the beautiful girl. The middle-aged beautiful woman hugged the person and quickly leaned over to give her a kiss: "Wow, a beauty is a beauty, and it always tastes so good when kissed!" Immediately, there was an angry voice: "
Sister Fu, that's My wife, what's the point of you hugging my wife and taking advantage of her? If you want to steal love, find a boyfriend yourself and don't harm my woman."
The old man and the old lady couldn't help but burst out laughing. They endured it and hurried inside with Aunt Ge. Walk.
"The beauty is my aunt. Third uncle, you are so worthless that you are jealous of girls. Third aunt, look at how little and graceless third uncle is. Why don't you kick him and surrender to me?" Come on, I'll make sure you enjoy the food and drink."
There was a niece who was trying to force her into a corner in front of him. Father Chao was also drunk, and he showed the aura of his elders, his eyes widened, and he glared fiercely: "Sister Fu. , are you going to encourage your third aunt Hongxing to have an affair again?"
"Just try, beautiful aunt, let's elope... Oh, Brother Bo, Xiao Bo, my dear beautiful brother, don't grab her by the collar. , behave gracefully, you have to maintain your grace, do you understand?"
Miss Chao Er was about to abduct the beautiful and gentle third aunt and "elope" when a figure suddenly approached, grabbed her clothes, and carried her away.
As soon as his son came on the scene to rescue his wife, Chao's father quickly hugged his beautiful wife's waist and ran to the open door to prevent the little witch from the Chao family from running around and snatching his wife away to do something. Weird things.
Whether Chao's mother was being taken advantage of or abducted by her niece, she just smiled gently. Anyway, this kind of thing happened several times a year. It was also their family's unique way of getting close. The two generations got along like friends.
Chao Yubo was carrying his backpack and was very calm at first. But when the second girl Chao Er started acting shamelessly, he walked to the second sister, grabbed the second sister's collar and pulled her away from his mother, waiting for his father. After taking his mother away, he gracefully let go and flicked the second sister's fried corn.
Miss Chao Er rubbed the place where she was bounced, jumped up with dissatisfaction, and quickly bounced towards the handsome and slender boy who had more temperament than a beauty. She successfully avenged her, holding her fingers and giggling.
Clear as the bright moon and as beautiful as a hundred flowers, the handsome young man walked slowly towards the courtyard: "Second sister, are uncle, aunt and eldest sister here?" "Uncle and aunt arrived half an hour ago. My eldest sister and brother-in-law are taking care of the baby this year
. I’ll go to my husband’s house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and next year I’ll go back to the Chao family to celebrate the festival.”
Chao Yuming, the eldest daughter of the Chao family, is now in her mid-twenties. She got married two years ago and was married to a well-matched empress from the Zhang family, a family of military generals. I was blessed with a daughter in June this year.
"Brother Bo, where is our Little Tuanzi sister? Didn't you tell me that you would try your best to bring our youngest princess back to us? Where is she?" "Little Lele is shy because of close
relatives. Wait until she is mentally prepared. Preparation will come. You are right to prepare the meeting gift early. Of course, you'd better not waste your Taekwondo. Lele is also ready to practice boxing. If you lose to Lele, you will have no place to put your old face. Also, second sister, Lele is obviously Xiao Lele, but you are using random nicknames. What do you call Xiaotuanzi? You think it is sesame glutinous rice dumplings." "
Little Lele is cute, pink and white. It's cuter than glutinous rice balls. What's wrong with calling them Xiaotuanzi? Brother Bo, you said Lele Xiaotuanzi is also going to learn Taekwondo. Who did he learn it from?" Miss Chao Er hugged her young brother, acting like a good brother. He looked like a girl, suddenly remembered something, and whispered softly: "Xiao Bo, there are guests at home."
"Are they the Le sisters?" Chao Yubo guessed who it was without using any brain cells. The villa of Le Fukang, the eldest uncle of the Qingdao Student Union Vice President, was also in this place, only three yards away from his second uncle's house.
"Yes."
"Second sister, I remember you and Le Jiaqi were very close?" "
In the past." Miss Chao Er pursed her lips. She and Le Jiaqi were very close in the past, but now, uh, the past is the past , now is now, not what it used to be.
Chao Yubo instantly understood that what the second sister meant was that we were very close friends before, but people will always change. Each has his own circle and his own life, and then it becomes difficult to talk together. The feelings also faded.
Land in the capital is several times more expensive than gold. In order to save money, even villa areas try to make rational use of every inch of land. Siheyuan villas are mainly medium and small. Medium-sized ones have two front and back courtyards, and small courtyards are just one door. Chao Erbo Our courtyard is a small courtyard.
The gate of the small courtyard is directly opposite the upper room. There is no screen wall and only a huge lotus vat is placed in the courtyard. There is also an inverted room on the side of the courtyard door wall, and there are verandas leading to the east and west compartments. Although it is a small courtyard, The site is not narrow, with five east and west wing rooms, seven upper rooms, and two wing rooms on each side.
The yard is paved with green lawns, flowers and plants are planted, and cobblestone paths connect the left and right wing rooms to the main entrance and upper room. The houses maintain a retro style and are all single-story buildings.
Mrs. Chao, Mr. Chao, Mr. Chao, Mr. Chao and his mother stepped into the courtyard one after another and walked straight along the cobblestone path to the central hall in the middle of the upper room.
Mrs. Chao Er was entertaining guests in the west wing parlor. She was also a descendant of a national hero. Her surname was Zhou and her maiden name was Zhou Ran. She was tall and tall and a rare beauty. Her hair was pulled into a bun and she wore an embroidered moonlight gown that reached her calf. She is in a dress, with an oval face, almond eyes and peach cheeks. She is well-maintained. She looks like a young woman in her thirties when she is nearly fifty. She is dignified and quiet. She is a charming lady.
Mrs. Chao Er, who has exquisite eyebrows, sat at the top, and a pair of sisters from the Le family, Hua Le Jiaqi and Le Shiyun, sat in the guest seats. Both beauties had straight hair shawl, wearing a knee-length sleeveless dress, revealing their snow-white pink hair. The arms are slightly lower, the collar of the dress is slightly lower, and the youthful atmosphere is strong.
The two sisters, who have been carefully made up, have expensive LV bags on their knees. One is in pomegranate red and the other is in rose red. The burning colors are like a fire, so bright and scorching.
Nanny Fang Ma made tea for the guests, served fruits, and waited beside Madam.
The Le family's sister is not a rare visitor. Whenever Uncle Chao Er and his wife return to live in the villa, the Le family will come to visit. Le Jiaqi and Mrs. Chao Er also get along very well.
"Good tea, the tea buds are upright, the soup is clear and fragrant, it is most likely Mingqian Longjing." Le Jiaqi looked at the tea and praised with a sweet smile: "I can smell the fragrance before I drink it. Aunt Zhou's collection is indeed the best." ."
"As for your good taste, it is really Mingqian Longjing. A business partner gave it to me a few days ago. It was said to be this year's new product. I just opened the can and tasted it today." Mrs. Chao Er smiled with a smile on her face. Even
Shu Mei Her movements are also elegant and beautiful. Every move and every word has the ladylike style of everyone, and the dignified and gentle atmosphere of a lady.
Mrs. Chao Er's father was fond of tea. She was also deeply influenced by tea culture when she was young. She loved tea ceremony and married into the Chao family. Chao Er was also a moneymaker and had a rich family. She collected more than a dozen tea sets alone, all of which were valuable. Treasure.
To match the identity of Qianlongjing, a set of white porcelain tea cups from official cellars of the Manchu and Qing dynasties was used. This tea set was once collected by the elders of the Manchu and Qing royal families. Later, the family failed and was sold off and became among the people. In the year of the millennium, Appearing again before arriving, Chao Er smiled for Mrs. Bo and spent hundreds of thousands of money to even it out.
"Oh, Aunt Zhou really loves me. I'm so lucky. Aunt Zhou is so kind. I really want to stay." Le Jiaqi was so surprised that she held up the tea cup and put it under the tip of her nose to smell the fragrance, her face full of intoxication. .
Le Shiyun was not good at tea ceremony and did not dare to make random comments. He imitated his elder sister in holding tea, smelling it, and tasting it.
"You still want to rely on me? I won't let you drink good tea next time." Mrs. Chao Er smiled without showing her teeth. She held the tea with bare hands. She was about to taste it when she saw people moving around outside the courtyard, so she continued to drink tea calmly. .
Mrs. Chao and Mr. Chao walked straight to the upper room with three steps, two steps at a time. Chao's father and mother, who were half a step behind, also followed their parents' footsteps and rushed to the upper room.
"Mom, the grandparents are here." When she reached the position opposite the reception room in the west wing, Miss Chao Er shouted at the top of her voice, dragging her beautiful brother and running away non-stop, shouting as she ran. : "Mom, I'm telling you quietly, our lovely little dumpling has some unparalleled tea to honor you. Don't drink too much tea. Then you won't have the stomach to drink the good tea from the little dumpling. Don't blame your daughter for using it. Turn your arms outward."
"Is the little girl here?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chao Er put down the tea cup in surprise and left, leaving behind a back view and soft words: "Miss Le, I'm sorry. Mother Fang, please help me. I am entertaining the two young ladies from the Le family."
Who is Xiaotuanzi, and who is Nannan?
Le Jiaqi was surprised and looked out, only to see a few figures from behind. Those people she recognized were the old lady and Mr. Chao of the Chao family and Mr. and Mrs. Chao Sanye.
Le Shiyun looked over and saw the Chao brothers and sisters arm in arm. Her beautiful eyebrows were almost twisted into knots. Xiao Chao didn't come to the living room? Chao Yufu didn't tell him, or he pretended not to know.
When the two sisters were full of doubts, the master stood up and left. The Le family sisters were stunned. Who did Mrs. Chao leave them behind?
The old lady and the old man are here. Of course Madam has to go to say hello to the elders. Mother Fang responded: "Okay, Madam, I will entertain the two young ladies."
Mrs. Chao Er arrived at the door, and Le Jiaqi couldn't wait anymore. He stayed and stood up by himself: "Aunt Zhou, since you are busy, we sisters will not worry about you. I will come and worry about Aunt Zhou next time." "That's fine.
My parents and brothers are here, so I won't entertain the two girls. Mother Fang, Pack some Mingqian tea leaves for Miss Le to take home and taste slowly." Mrs. Chao Er paused, smiled modestly, and stepped out of the door.
When she went outside, she saw her father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and his wife had arrived outside the upper room. She looked at the backs of the two young men and women and got angry: "Brother Bo, you said you were going to bring your sister back, but now you are talking about people." Where are you? And Sister Fu, you stinky girl. Others cheat on your father, but you, this girl, cheat on your mother."
Uncle Chao stepped out to pick up his parents. When he heard his wife's words, he smiled like an Amitabha Buddha. Don't get me wrong, he is not fat. He is neither fat nor thin. His figure is quite well-proportioned. Forty-seven people, like He looks like a thirty-six-seven, young and promising, mature and stable, with the charm of a middle-aged man, full of fatal charm, and can be called a killer of young girls and young women.
Uncle Chao and his wife also walked out quickly to greet their parents. The Chao brothers looked very similar, and even their demeanor was similar. They were both personable, steady and gentle.
Mr. Chao is two years older than Mr. Chao, and is forty-nine, yet he looks as if he has just entered his forties, as stable as a mountain, and as magnanimous as a lake or sea that accepts all things, with a proud and refined look, and a calm gaze.
His wife's surname is Yang, and her given name is Yang Ruxia. She is also the only one of the three sisters-in-law with short hair. She is nearsighted, wears glasses, and wears a cheongsam dress. She looks calm and noble all over.
The Chao family's son and daughter-in-law rushed to help their parents, and they were full of heartfelt admiration for their parents.
Miss Chao Er was called out by her mother to complain, so she ran away with a smile: "Empress Dowager, please help me, the Empress is about to show off her power, I'm afraid of your granddaughter." "Sister Fu, don't be poor, hurry up and get ready
. Hot water to make tea. Your grandparents have been stuck in traffic for so long. They must be thirsty." Uncle Chao stepped down the steps in front of the house first and supported his mother.
"Chao Yi, I don't need your help, I'm not too old to walk yet." The eldest son came over to help him, and the old man was quite ungrateful.
"I know, I know. Dad, you are young and in your prime. I want to get close to you because I want to be in your glory." Chao Shengguo's smile deepened, but he did not let go and helped his father's arm up the steps.
Mrs. Chao said hello to her parents, walked to one side and talked to her three younger siblings.
"Second aunt, although little Lele didn't come, the gifts are here, and you are very generous. Since I helped Lele escort the gifts without any credit but with hard work, please spare my nephew this time." Chao Yubo looked back and said to Ping Ping
. Aunt Ting, who was chasing after her as quickly as a girl, blinked and gave the most charming and bright smile.
"What you said makes sense. I really can't argue with you." Mrs. Chao Er couldn't help but smile and show her teeth. She looked at Brother Bo. He was refreshed, his face was rosy, and his smiling eyes were full of spring waves. He was so handsome. Young Master, he is indeed the most beautiful brother of the old Chao family. His elegance is enough to instantly defeat the three men of the previous generation.
She feels that it is time for the three brothers who once had the reputation of being the three handsome men of the Chao family to abdicate. People say that they are not afraid of not knowing what they are doing. Afraid of comparing goods, the three Chao family members immediately turned from swans to golden roosters when compared with Brother Bo.
Brother Bo is good, Mrs. Chao Er is also overjoyed. The Chao family only has such a brother. In the future, Sister Fu, Sister Ming and the nephews will rely on this natal uncle to support them. The better Brother Bo is, the Chao family will marry their daughter out. My waist is also straight and I am not afraid of being bullied by others.
Mr. Chao and the others went back to the hall together with simple greetings to each other, while Miss Chao ran to fetch hot water as fast as she could.
When Le Shiyun heard what Mrs. Chao Er and Chao's brother said outside, she finally knew who the "little girl" Mrs. Chao Er mentioned was. Her expression suddenly changed. That tomboy girl actually made Mrs. Chao Er recognize her. Got her?
It seemed that not only Mrs. Chao Er recognized the little girl, but the entire Chao family also recognized her, and even liked her very much. However, the little girl still favored Qiao and did not come to the Chao family for the festival.
Originally, she thought that Xiao Chao's acceptance of his adopted sister was his personal matter. The Chao family agreed on the surface and would not really love her like a girl. However, the news she heard was completely contrary to her guess. This exceeded her prediction.
Le Shiyun looked gloomy. Seeing Fang's mother turn around to get tea, she walked out quickly and hurried to the door of the living room. She was a little late. A group of people over there had already entered the central hall of the upper room. Only Mrs. Chao Er fell behind. , that handsome figure walked to one side as soon as he entered the central hall, never to be seen again.
He didn't see her, so it was naturally impossible for him to say hello, let alone keep them. As for the old man, old lady, and third master Chao, uncle Chao, she was not qualified for them to condescend to greet her. Not to mention her, she was the Le family. When the family came, Mr. Chao and Mr. Chao also refused to see them.
This is the difference between a powerful family and a wealthy family. The Le family can be regarded as a humble family. They only have a little money but no power. The Chao family itself has two brothers in high positions, and all the Chao family's in-laws are from political or military families. , Mrs. Chao San’s father is now even more prosperous.
The Chao family is a wealthy family that the Le family can only hope to reach. Therefore, even if Le Jiaqi barely has a common topic with Mrs. Chao Er, she only has a good personal relationship with Mrs. Chao Er and has not succeeded in getting recognition from other members of the Chao family.
Le Shiyun clenched her bag tightly, feeling extremely depressed. She could only talk to Mr. Chao at school or in private situations. Apart from banquets, Mrs. Chao Er also had the opportunity to meet Chao's brother. Son, she had no chance to go to other places, like the compound where Uncle Chao and Third Master Chao lived. Those compounds were always mysterious, and they would not easily invite others as guests.
Le Jiaqi didn't know that Brother Chao had recognized his sister until Brother Chao and Mrs. Chao Er made it clear. She understood the hidden meaning. When she looked at her cousin, she turned around and walked towards the door, and she quickly followed. , spoke to Fang's mother in a graceful manner: "Fang's mother, Longjing is precious before tomorrow, please keep it for yourself. When Aunt Zhou is free, I will come to visit again, and I will accompany Aunt Zhou to have tea and talk." "Miss Leda
. You are such a considerate person, you are like crystal. I will send you two ladies." Fang Ma went down the slope and really didn't pack the tea. The output of Longjing in Mingqian was very small, and Madam only got a small jar, so she couldn't bear to part with it. Take the lady's heart and give it away.
Fang Ma personally escorted her. Even if Le Jiaqi didn't want to leave, she had no reason to stay. She left the living room, walked along the corridor to the main door, and said goodbye.
The two sisters did not drive. They walked when they came and walked back. In the hot autumn day, the two rich ladies were covered in sweat after walking less than ten meters.
People and cars occasionally came and went in the villa area, making it inconvenient to talk. The two of them didn't mention anything about the Chao family and went back to Lejia Villa in the sun.
Fang's mother watched Sister Lejia walk more than ten meters away, and immediately closed the door. She would be busy for a while, and no one was watching the door. If someone came into the house and hid, it would be dangerous.
After Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao entered the main hall, the family sat down, and Mrs. Chao followed shortly after. The younger generation said hello to the elderly and talked about their daily routine.
Aunt Ge went to the kitchen. This was not her first time here. When she came, she and Fang Ma took care of the kitchen. If Fang Ma went to the courtyard, she would know what she should do.
Chao Yufu went to the ear room and brought two kettles, and yelled at his younger brother to bring out the good tea. His anxious look made everyone laugh.
Chao Yubo took out the gifts from his backpack and gave them ginseng and iron maple heads to his uncle and second uncle, and scented tea to his two aunts.
Mr. Chao looked at his two sons faintly: "Chao Yi, Chao Er, shouldn't you two be filial to me?" "
Dad, you are a family member, aren't you?" Uncle Chao and Uncle Chao quickly took the tea. They held the bag in their arms and looked at the old father defensively. They had not tasted it, but from the eyes of the old father and the third brother, they knew that it must be good stuff and they must not be taken away by the old father.
Mr. Chao: "..." The sons have grown up, their wings have become stiff, and they are reluctant to give me even some tea. They are three little white-eyed wolves.
The old lady smiled brightly, but she didn't help. She looked like a good-natured person who said you were going to tear her apart while I watched the battle.
"Where's mine? Don't tell me that I don't have it. If Xiaotuanzi refuses to give me a share, I'll call her Xiao Si'er from now on." Everyone has a share, except for her own. Miss Chao Er immediately quit. Is it important to ignore the young, okay? She is the elder sister. If the younger sister doesn't give her elder sister a gift, she has to go find Xiaotuanzi and have a good talk.
"How can I miss you? Dangdang, take a look at what this is." The handsome young man took out a small porcelain vase from his backpack and presented it to his sister like a treasure.
Everyone took a look and thought, oh, it’s different from their gifts. What kind of good thing is it?
Miss Chao Er grabbed the porcelain bottle and quickly pulled out the cork. Suddenly, a warm fragrance came over, refreshing the heart and mind. It made people feel as if they were standing in a hundred gardens, surrounded by the fragrance, and their body and mind were floating.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Chao Yufu jumped up, put the bottle upright on the table, and curiously studied what good stuff it was.
"Skin care, whitening and moisturizing product. Your skin is prone to allergies. This is pure natural herbal essence. It is suitable for all kinds of skin. When you go out or wait for a dry day, apply a little on your face to make sure you don't get tan. I said to my second sister, this is very good. It's precious, don't use it as water, just drop a little bit, add some water to dissolve it and apply it on your face."
As he was explaining, he saw a girl eagerly pouring skin care products into her palms, and he rolled his eyes speechlessly and told her not to Waste: "The good stuff prepared by Lele has a limited quantity. I will give you a small portion. If it is wasted, it will be gone."
Chao Yufu originally wanted to pour some out to try, but when he heard that, he didn't want to waste any more. He immediately capped the bottle and held it in the palm of his hand: "Mom, don't look at it. I won't give it to you even if you look at me. I'll use it tomorrow morning and wipe it evenly on your face."
"Am I the kind of person with short-sighted eyes?" Mrs. Chao Er gave her daughter a cold look and got up to help the old man and old lady get their special water cups.
The old lady and others were so happy that they wanted to slam the table. Of the two legitimate daughters of the Chao family, the eldest was a standard lady, with every smile and every frown as gentle as water. The second girl was just the opposite, with a free-spirited temperament, frank and forthright. The two sisters moved and remained silent. The contrast is stark.
"Auntie, these belong to the eldest sister and the baby." Touching and touching, Chao Yubo touched a small bottle and a bag containing crushed plant leaves, and a pack of flakes and handed them to the eldest aunt.
"Not long after my eldest sister gave birth to a baby, I drank this. It has the effect of clearing out lochia and detoxifying dampness. Lele said that I want to make my eldest sister worry more about her personal hygiene. Just treat it like another half month of confinement. The baby's is skin care products to prevent insect bites and prickly heat. This pack is the ingredients. The eldest sister will drink the herbal tea and then make porridge to eat." "Sister Ming also has a share?" Mrs. Chao was stunned.
Sister Ming was married. , even if the daughter is her mother's little cotton-padded jacket, the water thrown out by the married daughter sometimes still makes a difference between closeness and distance.
"The eldest sister is also from the Chao family. Lele said that a sister is a sister, and she will still be a sister after she gets married. As for the ingredients, only the eldest sister and I have it, and no one else does. It's okay if you don't accept it. Who said you are not as lucky as me? You can't pick it up. Cute little girl, I’ve just found a good sister.”
The young man touched his backpack again and took out two other packets of scented tea. One packet belonged to Fang’s mother, and the other belonged to Uncle Chao’s nanny Niu Mama. Counting them down, everyone Everyone in the Chao family has a share. Of course, the son-in-law is gone, because Le Xiao’s classmate has not come to the Chao family to recognize his relatives. Only the beautiful boy’s close relatives are included. The in-laws are not included in the gift list for the time being. The nanny is the personal nanny of each family. It is tenured for life, so it is also included in the family members.
Xiao Lele took care of everyone, even the nanny was left behind. Everyone in the Chao family was so moved that they almost burst into tears. Brother Bo could recognize such a good sister. The Chao family got lucky because they stepped on shit, so they got a girl for nothing. .
The old man took the opportunity to put pressure on his grandson, asking when he would take her home. They got a girl for nothing, but they hadn't met yet. No one would believe it if they told her.
Chao Yubo couldn't bear the three trials of his elders, so he kept telling the elders the deadline mentioned by Lele. The elders of the Chao family were excited every second. It would be nice if there was an exact date, and they could prepare in advance.
While everyone in the Chao family was making tea, they were discussing whether they should hold a banquet and advertise the girl to everyone. The biggest debate was: how to divide the youngest girl in the future. During the Spring Festival and other big holidays, the child must return home. From the north of E, if you are in Beijing during other holidays, who will you stay at? How many days to stay, this must be discussed first as a villain and then as a gentleman, and how to provide pocket money.
It's not that they are confused about how much to give, but in what name to give. Over the years, the little ones have refused to support their tuition and living expenses. They give money because they are afraid that their children will not want it.
Children from other families wish for money to fall from the sky, but the girls taught by the Le family are strong-willed and strong-willed. No matter how hard their lives are, they will never ask for money, and they insist on receiving no reward for no merit.
Therefore, all these years, knowing that the children's family was poor, they could only watch on the sidelines. This made the whole Chao family a headache. In the future, if they wanted to give pocket money, they would have to think of a foolproof plan and cleverly name it to avoid being rejected.
When the discussion in the Chao family was in full swing, Le Xiao's classmate, as the protagonist of the discussion, had no time to think about what Brother Chao and his family were doing. She was still stuck on the road.
Returning to Beijing from T city, we set off at nearly 6 o'clock. The first section of the road was not bad. Even if it was crowded, there was no traffic jam. When we returned to Beijing, it was a pitiful tragedy to go into the city from outside. There was a traffic jam! Blocking! Blocking!
The road was full of traffic jams, and the traffic jam made people want to smash their cars. It took an hour and forty minutes to get from T city to Xiaowai, and it took two hours to get to the city from Xiaowai and still not reach Panjiayuan.
Le Xiaoxiao was also deeply drunk. After reading the two books he carried with him, there was really no book to read, so he had to look at his mobile phone. He used up all the power on his mobile phone, but he still hadn't reached his goal.
Young Master Yan was worried that the traffic jam would offend the anxious little Lolita, so he generously gave her his mobile phone to surf the Internet. So, Little Le Xiao took the handsome boy's mobile phone and searched out many recipes and memorized them.
After half past ten, after all the hard work, Mr. Yan finally drove to the parking lot near Panjiayuan. The huge parking lot was full of cars, and he finally found a parking spot.
Le Yun returned the phone to Handsome Yan Yan, took out some things from her backpack and put them in the Cheetah car. She was still worried and asked again: "Handsome man, is it really 100% safe in the car? Will someone break the glass?" Stealing?"
"The security of the capital is still reliable. Besides, my car glass is bulletproof and can only be broken with a special sniper rifle. If you lose one, I will compensate you ten times the price." Yan Xing Feeling powerless, the plainclothes policemen would probably be too heartbroken to eat when the little Loli said those words.
"It's not about money. Have you ever heard that it's hard to buy a good thing?" Le Yun took out the fragile items and hid them out of sight on the front windows of the cars. The glass on both sides of the cars were all anti-peeping glass and could not be seen from the outside. in.
"..." He just wanted to say that you have a lot on your mind, a few stones, a few pieces of porcelain...
After putting things in order, Le Yun slung her backpack over her shoulders and got in and out of the car. After driving for more than four minutes, she finally landed on her feet. , can walk freely, the feeling couldn't be better.
Yan Xing locked the car, took out his sunglasses from his backpack and put them on. He looked so cool.
There was still some distance to go from Panjiayuan, so the two of them walked through a main street and several small streets until they arrived at the square outside Panjiayuan. The square was full of cars and crowded with people.
Entering the garden, there is no empty space in the whole garden. There are shantytowns, non-shantytowns, and small alleys. Every place is a stall. The stalls are connected to one side. Looking around, I can only see the heads of people and the fish. figure.
"Little Loli, where are you going first?" Little Loli looked far away. Yan Xing stood on her right side. Seeing the bustling crowd, he had to sigh at the attraction of antiques. There were so many people coming to pick up missing items.
"I really want to go to a jade shop to gain experience." Le Yun looked at Panjia District from a distance. There was an area where spiritual energy could be seen. According to the terrain analysis, that was where the jade and jewelry shops were located. The jewelry and jade shops sold all high-end goods. , and some stores have their own treasures.
Baby knows a lot about ancient times, and his aura is certainly strong.
It's a pity, Le Yun curled her lips, you get what you pay for. The high-end goods sold by those shops are real. Similarly, the prices are also scary. Just one item can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. The price is astronomical. If you want to buy it, It's almost as good as selling her.
"Then go." The jade shop and antique collection area is a place where you can learn a lot. It has collected many ancient treasures, some of which are not of their own value but of historical value.
"I'm afraid I won't want to come out if I go there." There were spiritual things in the jade shop. She went in and looked at the spiritual things. She couldn't get them or buy them, which was tantamount to self-abuse.
"It's okay, I'll take you out." If she refused to leave, he simply stepped forward and took her away.
"Seriously?"
"It's guaranteed to be true."
"Then, remember to be gentle, handle it gently, and don't be rude like an eagle catching a chick. I'm timid and I'm afraid I'll get into trouble." "
I don't have to worry about it . ."Are you timid? Yan Xing felt that he had heard the biggest joke of the year. If the little Lolita was timid, Qingda University would not be able to find a girl who could be called bold.
"Do you know which places sell jade raw materials?" Le Yun was about to take a step forward, but stopped. She is now standing next to the wall not far from the gate of Panjiayuan. She is not in the way of others and can hear her words clearly. When entering a crowd, you have to shout to speak.
"Stone gambling kind?"
"Yes."
"There is a woolen wholesale store in the garden, and there is also a stone gambling shop opposite the gate. It is a holiday these days, so there is probably a lot of woolen materials and new materials." "
Let's take a look and look around. How do professionals bet on stones?"
"No objection, do you want to bet?"
"I don't have enough funds to bet."
The little loli stepped out from the shadow of the corner, peeking at those long legs as she walked. The movements of one behind the other in tandem are as beautiful as a painting.
Le Yun walked along an alley full of street stalls towards the jade and jade specialty area, admiring the antiques on the street stalls as she walked.
After passing through a small alley and a relatively wide patch of land, we arrived at the jadeite and finished pearls and jade specialty area. That area was newly built, three stories high, and the first floor of the store specialized in jadeite materials.
The storefronts may be wide or narrow. Some specialty stores have three or four facades in width, and the normal width is two facades. Some only have a single facade, about 60 square meters, which is enough to open a stone betting shop.
Jadeite is loved by everyone, regardless of age or sex. Betting on stones is an exciting thing. People come and go. In some places, the roar of machines can be heard, and occasionally there are cheers and sighs.
Le Yun looked back and forth, selected a stone betting shop, and dove in. Yan Xing followed closely behind. He walked into the shop with long legs and faced a young man and woman who were probably about to leave the shop, about four steps apart. Looking at each other.
The next moment, a surprised female voice echoed in all directions: "Xiao Longbao, do you also gamble on stones?"
