Chapter 167 You also bet on stones
Mid-Autumn Festival is 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 symbolize 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 came down in the ranking. However, he did not use the word "bang" because he actually had an older brother above him. According to the ranking, Chao Shengbang was named Chao Shengbang. Unfortunately, the child died at birth.
Although the person is gone, Mr. Chao and his wife cannot 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 will have a name and a surname in this life, and will not become a lonely ghost and reincarnate in the next life. A good family.
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 Lao'er'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 He ran and shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, third uncle, third aunt, Aunt Ge, Brother Bo, you are finally here, you miss me so much!"
The young beauty is about eighteen or nineteen years old. She wears a red casual shirt and denim hot pants. Her black hair is tied into a ponytail. She has phoenix eyes and peach cheeks. Her face is smooth and white with hibiscus powder, and she is full of the atmosphere 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 by generation just like boys, and their names are also chosen according to the genealogy. Boss Chao also gave birth to a daughter named Chao Yuming. The daughter of the second boy’s family, 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, and 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 shouldn’t be called the Supreme Empress and the Empress. You have upgraded again. You are all old people with great-grandchildren. You should be called the Supreme Empress and the Grand Empress. Oh, this name is so long that it makes me dizzy.”
The old man, who was kissed by his granddaughter, pretended to be angry and glared at her, but did not push her away and enjoyed her closeness.
The old lady was so happy that her smile turned into a blooming sunflower: "You are the most naughty. You jump up and down like a monkey all day long, and you also come up with some random names. You are not worthy of being laughed at."
< br>
"Who dares to make a joke, let's see if I don't beat him to death." Miss Chao Er shouted and jumped up, then rushed towards the beautiful middle-aged woman, hugged her, and quickly came over and said: "Wow, A beauty is a beauty, she always smells so good when kissed!”
Immediately, there was an angry voice: "Sister Fu, that's my wife. What's the point of you holding 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 into laughter, so they endured it and hurried inside with Aunt Ge.
"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 with me, I guarantee you will enjoy your life.”
There was a niece who was trying to force someone into a corner in front of him. Father Chao was also drunk, and he showed off the aura of his elders, his eyes widened, and he glared fiercely: "Sister Fu, are you going to encourage your third aunt Hongxing to cheat on you again?" Try it?”
"Just give it a try, beautiful aunt, let's elope... Oh, Brother Bo, Xiao Bo, my dear beautiful brother, don't grab people by their collars, you have to be graceful, you have to keep your grace, do you understand."
Miss Chao Er was about to abduct her beautiful and gentle third aunt and "elope" with her, when suddenly a figure 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 chestnuts.
Miss Chao Er rubbed the place where she was bounced, jumped up dissatisfied, and quickly bounced towards the handsome and slender boy who was more elegant 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. The eldest sister and brother-in-law will take the baby to the husband's house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and will go back to Chao's house to celebrate the festival next year."
The eldest daughter of the Chao family, Chao Yuming, is now twenty-five years old. She got married two years ago to a well-matched empress from the Zhang family, a family of military generals. She gave birth to a daughter in June this year.
"Brother Bo, where is our little sister, Little Tuanzi? Didn't you tell me that you would try your best to bring our youngest princess back to us? Where is she?"
"Xiao Lele is timid in close relationships. She will come when she is mentally prepared. You are right to prepare the meeting gift early.
Of course, you'd better not waste your Taekwondo skills. Lele is also preparing 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 randomly choose a nickname. What is Xiaotuanzi? You think it is sesame glutinous rice balls. ”
"Little Lele looks cute, pink and white, cuter than glutinous rice balls. What's wrong with calling her Xiaotuanzi?
Brother Bo, you said that Lele Xiaotuanzi is also planning to learn Taekwondo. Who did he learn it from? ”
Miss Chao Er hugged her young brother, looking like two good brothers. She 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.
"That's right."
"Second sister, I remember that you and Le Jiaqi are very close?"
"It used to be." Miss Chao Er pursed her lips. She and Le Jiaqi were very good friends in the past, but now, well, the past was the past, and the present is now. Today is different from the past.
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 chambers. Although it is a small courtyard style , the site is not narrow, there are five east and west wing rooms, seven upper rooms, and three 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 Mrs. Chao 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 the lady.
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's eyebrows were wide-eyed and smiling, and even her movements of smudging were elegant and graceful. Every move and word she made had the ladylike demeanor of a lady, as well as the dignity and gentleness of a noble 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 sets of tea sets, all of which were precious treasures. .
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 Chao, 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. ”
"Little girl is here?" Mrs. Chao Er heard the sound, put down the teacup in surprise and left, leaving behind a back view and soft words: "Miss Le, I'm sorry. Mother Fang, please help me entertain the two Le family members. Miss.”
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, and of course the lady has 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 stay any longer, so she stood up and said, "Aunt Zhou, you are busy, so we sisters will not worry about you anymore. 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 will pack some Mingqian tea for Miss Leda to take home and taste slowly." Mrs. Chao Er paused and smiled humbly. , step out 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 wanted to bring your sister back, but now you are talking about people." Where?
And Sister Fu, you are a stinky girl. Others cheat on your father, but you, this girl, cheat on your mother. ”
Chao Er stepped out to pick up his parents. When he heard his wife's words, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha. Don't get me wrong, he is not fat. He is neither fat nor thin. He looks like he is sixteen or seventeen, young and promising, yet mature and stable, with the charm of a middle-aged man, full of fatal charm, and can be called the killer of young girls and young women.
Mr. and Mrs. Chao also walked out quickly to greet their parents. The brothers of the Chao family 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 her power, I am afraid of your granddaughter."
"Sister Fu, don't be poor. Hurry and prepare hot water for tea. Your grandparents have been stuck in traffic for so long. They must be thirsty." Chao Er stepped down the steps in front of the house 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 became deeper and deeper, 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 gift did come, and you, the boss, are very generous. Because I helped Lele escort the gift without any credit but with hard work, please spare my nephew this time."
Chao Yubo looked back, blinked at his aunt Pingting, who was chasing after her like a girl, and smiled the most charming and brightest smile.
"What you said makes sense, I really can't care less."
Mrs. Chao Er could not help but smile and show her teeth. She looked at Brother Bo. He was refreshed, his face was rosy, and his smiling eyes were as full as spring waves. He was such a handsome young man. He was indeed the most beautiful brother in the Lao Chao family. He was so charming. It is enough to kill the three masters of the previous generation in an instant.
She felt that the three brothers who had once been known as the three heroes of the Chao family should abdicate in favor of talents. People say that they are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but they are afraid of comparing goods. When the three brothers of the Chao family were compared with Bo Geer, they immediately turned from swans to golden roosters.
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 others returned to the central hall together with simple greetings to each other, and 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. she?
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 recognition of his adopted sister was his personal matter, and the Chao family would not really love her like a girl if they agreed with her on the surface. However, the news she heard was completely contrary to her guess, which exceeded her expectations.
Le Shiyun looked gloomy. Seeing Fang's mother turn around to get the 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, and only Mrs. Chao Er fell behind. The handsome figure entered the central hall and walked to one side, 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, which only has 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 in the Ming Dynasty, please keep it for yourself. When Aunt Zhou is free, I will come to visit again, and I will accompany Aunt Zhou to drink tea and talk.”
< br>
"Miss Le is so considerate and considerate, she is really like crystal. I will send you two ladies."
Fang Ma got off the donkey along the slope, but she really didn't pack the tea. The output of Longjing before Ming Dynasty was very small, and Madam only got a small jar. She was reluctant to give away Madam's heart.
Fang Ma personally escorted her. Even if Le Jiaqi didn't want to leave, she had no reason to stay. She walked out of 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 then talked about family affairs.
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 also knew 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 bigot, aren't you?" The two brothers Chao Dachao quickly put the tea bags in their arms and looked at their old father defensively. They didn't taste it, but they knew it from the eyes of their old father and third brother. It must be a good thing, and it must not be taken away by my 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 I don't have it. If Xiaotuanzi refuses to give me a share, I will call her Xiaosi'er from now on."
Everyone has a share, but she doesn't have her own. Miss Chao Er immediately quit her job. Why don't she bring such a big one with her? She is the elder sister. If the younger sister doesn't give her elder sister a gift, she will 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. If 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 keep you from getting tanned.
I said to the second sister, this is very precious. Don’t use it as water. Just drop a little bit, add some water to dissolve it and smear it on your face. ”
While he was explaining, he saw a girl eagerly pouring skin care products into her palms. He immediately rolled his eyes speechlessly and told her not to waste it: "The good things made by Lele have a limited amount. I will give you a small amount. If you waste it, 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 spread it on your face tomorrow morning.”
"Am I the kind of person with short-sighted eyes?" Mrs. Chao Er gave her daughter a cold look, then stood up to help the old man and the 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.
"My eldest sister just gave birth to a baby not long ago. Drinking this can help remove undigested lochia and detoxify.
Lele said that she wanted to make her elder sister worry more about her personal hygiene, just as she would be confinement for another half month.
The baby's is skin care products to prevent insect bites and prickly heat. This pack is the ingredients. The elder sister drinks the herbal tea and then makes porridge to eat. ”
"Sister Ming also has a share?" Mrs. Chao was stunned. Sister Ming was married. Even if the daughter was her mother's little cotton-padded jacket, the water thrown out by the married daughter sometimes still made a difference between intimacy and distance.
"The eldest sister is also from the Chao family. Lele said that her sister is her sister, and she will still be her sister after she gets married.
As for the ingredients, only the eldest sister and I have them, and no one else does, so you can’t accept it. Why are you not as lucky as me? You can’t find a cute little girl, but I can find a good sister. ”
The elegant 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 his uncle's nanny Niu Mama.
To put it into detail, 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, so only the beautiful boy's close relatives are included, and the in-laws are not included in the gift list for the time being.
Nannies are personal nannies for each family and are tenured for life, so they are 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 and asked when he would take her home. They had a free girl, but they hadn't met yet. No one would believe it if he 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, so they could prepare in advance.
While everyone in the Chao family was making tea, they were discussing whether they should hold a banquet when the girl recognized her, and whether they should advertise to everyone. The biggest debate was: how to divide the youngest girl in the future!
During major holidays such as the Spring Festival, the children must go back to E North. If they are in the capital during other holidays, whose house will they stay at? How many days will you stay?
This must be discussed first as a villain and then as a gentleman, and how to give pocket money.
It is not that they are in trouble about how much to give, but in what name to give.
Over the years, the little guy has refused their support for tuition and living expenses. They give money because they are afraid that the child will not take 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 six 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 the suburbs of Beijing, it was a pitiful tragedy to enter the city from the suburbs. Traffic jams! block! block!
The road was full of traffic jams, which made people want to smash their cars. It took an hour and forty minutes to get from T city to the suburbs, and it took two hours to get to the city from the suburbs before reaching Panjiayuan.
Le Xiaoxiao finished reading the two books he carried with him. There was really no book to read, so he had to look at his mobile phone and use up the power of his mobile phone, but he has not yet 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, Mr. Yan finally drove to the parking lot near Panjiayuan after going through all kinds of hardships. 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?" Shoplifting? ”
"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 felt powerless. , the plainclothes policemen would probably be too heartbroken to eat when the little loli said that.
"It's not about money. Have you never heard that a thousand dollars can't buy a good thing?"
Le Yun took out the fragile items and hid them out of sight from the front glass of the car. The glass on both sides of the car was all anti-peeping glass, so the inside could not be seen from the outside.
"..." He just wants to say that you have a lot of things on your mind, a few stones, a few pieces of porcelain...
After hiding her things properly, Leyun put her backpack on her shoulders and got in and out of the car. After driving for more than four minutes, she finally landed on her feet and could 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. The two of them walked through a main street and several small streets before arriving at the square outside Panjiayuan. The square was full of cars and 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.
There are many treasures and antiques, and the aura is certainly rich.
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 collects many antiques and treasures. Some of them 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?"
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
"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 something will go wrong."
"I don't have to." 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.
"Betting on stones?"
"Yes."
"There is a wholesale of woolen materials in the garden, and there is also a stone gambling shop opposite the gate. It is a holiday these days, so a large amount of woolen materials and new materials are expected to appear."
"Let's take a look and watch how professionals bet on stones."
"No objection, do you want to bet?"
"Insufficient funds, can't afford to gamble."
The little loli stepped out from the shadow of the corner, peeking as she walked, watching the long legs move in turn, one behind the other, and it was 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 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?"
