Chapter 107
Due to the big wedding of the owner, the main shop of Chenjia Pho will be closed for one day on the day of the wedding, but the Pho shop and Tangshui shop in Prefecture City will be closed for three days, the second aunt, three sons, and Liu Yun and othersAfter returning to the county seat, he lived in the house in Yanlai Lane rented by Liu Shan for the time being.
Uncle Liu's family from Liujia Village even came here early.
On the wedding day, Chen Nianjian and Aunt Chen's family also came.
People in the county town naturally knew something about the dispute between Mrs. Chen and the Chen family's second wife. The rumors slowly dissipated as Chen Nianjian successively passed the county examination.People from the Chen family came, and Mr. Jing Kui was there in person, so the incident between Mrs. Chen and the second room of the Chen family was brought up again.
However, seeing Mrs. Chen's warm welcome to Mr. Jingkui, she knew in her heart that the matter between Mrs. Chen and the second wife of the Chen family was probably over, and the two parties reached a settlement.
One is Master Juren, and the other is going to marry Master Juren. This Chen family is really amazing!
Chen Nianjian and Shen Fan came to Chen's house, naturally they came to marry off like Liu Qing and other cousins. Zhang Erlang wanted to marry his sister/cousin, of course he had to pass their test.
The scholars in the academy that Zhang Erlang knew, including Zeng Si, all came to help Zhang Erlang pass the test.
Listening to the bustle and bustle outside, one after another make-up reminder poems were chanted, Chen Nianguan, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, was surrounded by her eldest cousin, Liu Yun and others in front of the dressing table, invited Quanfu people,Mei Dai applied lightly, brushed the blush lightly, and then covered her with a red hijab.
Chen Nianguan immediately became nervous.
"Wan Wan!" Liu suddenly called out, her voice trembling.
"Auntie!" Chen Nianguan replied sweetly.
Maybe it was because she thought that she would live in the house next door after she got married, so she didn't have any consciousness of marrying far away.
Liu Shi heard Chen Nianguan's cheerful response, and the reluctance and sadness in her heart dissipated a lot.
That's right, even if she married someone else, she was still in Yanlai Lane, unlike her, who married so far from Liujia Village back then, she would know immediately if anything happened, she wouldn't be like herBeing bullied like marrying into the Chen family.
Xi Niang laughed and yelled at the door of the wing room, Mrs. Liu helped her daughter to the door, Chen Nianjian was already waiting outside, amidst laughter, squatted down, carried his fourth sister on her back, and put her on the sedan chair.
Chen Nianguan couldn't see the bustling scene outside in the sedan chair, but he could hear the laughter of his relatives in the sound of firecrackers and the joyous sound of gongs and drums.
When she was being carried unsteadily from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, she remembered that it had been a full year since she came here.
During this year, she regained her aunt, younger sister, uncles and aunts, cousins, and many relatives, and met many people, such as shopkeeper Zhang, Master Zeng, Zeng Si, Master Li, etc., the clerk in the store, the partner of the branch, has also successfully owned his own business, opened so many shops, and saved a rich family fortune, and now, he is about to have his own husband.
Compared with being alone and alone in the previous life, this life is much more fulfilling and complete.
So Chen Nianguan is not panicking about the future at all, and even looks forward to it.
She still has to show her strengths, and she will open a restaurant of her own in Capital City in the future!
How did Zhang Erlang know that the bride sitting in the sedan chair at this time was not thinking of playing with the bridegroom after marriage, but was intoxicated in the expectation of opening a restaurant. He was riding on a tall horse, in front of the sedan chair, leadingWalking from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, under the envious or admiring eyes of everyone, he walked back to the door of his own house.
The dowries brought from the Chen family's house were still being moved into the gate of Zhang's house one after another, attracting the envy of many nearby families.
Many people in Yanlai Lane watched Sansao Chen's family start to make a fortune selling fish curd. In just over a year, Sansao Chen's family not only opened a rice noodle shop, but also opened a shop in Fucheng. It is said that there is Chen SisaoThe girl has done a great job.
Then look at Miss Chen Si's natal family who gave birth to a master Jingkui, so many promising sons from her grandfather's family, plus a generous dowry under her nose, and a basket of happy money distributed all over the alley.
Even if this Mrs. Chen's family is a female household, they have grown up, and now they have such a good in-law, which is really not to be underestimated.
Chen Nianguan was helped out of the sedan chair by Xi Niang, led by red silk, and stepped into the threshold of the Zhang family.
Over the brazier, across the saddle, and up to the main house.
In the upper seat, Fan Shanchang and his wife were sitting, watching Zhang Erlang bring the bride in with a red silk.
After the ceremony officer sang the salute, Chen Nianguan bowed to the heaven and earth to worship his parents. After the husband and wife bowed to each other, they were led into the new house amidst the congratulations of the crowd.
Even after entering the new house, the sound of congratulations and laughter continued. Outside the new house, there were many people who were waiting to see the bridegroom take off his hijab and make trouble with the bride. Most of them were scholars from the academy and their families.
The smile on Zhang Erlang's face didn't disappear all day long, when he picked up the greeting stick, his hand even trembled slightly, he pulled himself together, and then lifted the hijab.
Under the red hijab, the bride's face was exposed, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed again.
Chen Nianguan raised his eyes, and saw a handsome face, his heart skipped a beat, and when he realized that there were others watching, he quickly lowered his head.
Immediately, the scholars outside all burst into laughter.
"Zhang Er, you married a beautiful lady!"
"That's right! I haven't noticed it on weekdays. This Master Chen, ah no, Sister-in-law Zhang is so beautiful."
"Brother Zhang, I envy you!"
The crowd made noise for quite a while, amidst their laughter, Zhang Erlang and Chen Nianguan drank the Hebei wine, then got up, closed the door, and kept them out.
"Zhang Er, hey, wait, let's take a second look!"
"That's it!"
...
Zhang Erlang ignored it. After a while, the people outside gradually dispersed, and he walked to the couch, sat down, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he held Chen Nianguan Rouyi.Self-victory.
"Wan Wan!"
He had been looking forward to this day since the marriage was set at the beginning of the year.
In order to be worthy of her, he studied hard and worked hard, and finally got into high school. He was worthy of her expectations of him, and finally, he got rid of the uneasiness and humbleness deep in his heart that he feared that he was not worthy of her.
Now, she has finally become his wife.
"Yulang!" Chen Nianguan also smiled and looked at Zhang Yulang.
Well, she didn't see clearly the bridegroom in a bright red wedding dress until now. Sure enough, he is so handsome and handsome. Such a beautiful man will be her husband from today. There are so many happy things in her life.got one.
"Wan Wan!" Zhang Yulang couldn't bear it, and pulled Chen Nianguan into his arms, hugging him tightly, his breathing was slightly disordered.
"Yulang, you don't have to entertain guests anymore?" Chen Nianguan was also nervous for a while, but he still pretended to be calm and asked.
Zhang Yulang paused for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh of relief, slowly let go of the bride in his arms, and sighed softly, "Go!"
Zhang Erlang got up slowly, and before stepping forward, he looked back at Chen Nianguan again: "Wan Wan!"
"Yulang!" Chen Nianguan responded sweetly.
"Wait for me." Zhang Erlang reluctantly said.
"En!" Chen Nianguan nodded, watched Zhang Erlang turn his head in two steps, and left the new house. He also took a long breath and rubbed his hot cheeks with both hands.
She just wanted to change her position, and thought that if she sat a little further back, something would get stuck under the spread quilt, so she could only sit on the edge of the bed, and now there was no one in the room, so she lifted the quilt, and saw that there was a lot of dust inside.Lots of lotus seeds, longan, peanuts, red dates.
She was about to sweep all these fruits aside, when a servant came in and helped her clean up the fruits, and brought some food for her to use, and then removed the cup after she was done.
Chen Nianguan was actually not hungry at all, so he took off his make-up, let his hair go in a bun, went to the adjoining room to freshen up, and then returned to the new room, and slowly ate some pastries brought by the servants.
When Zhang Erlang returned to the room, he smelled of alcohol, and the door was locked, so he walked quickly towards Chen Nianguan, and the general walked up to him. Chen Nianguan saw that he was coming, and saw him push another step.Sniffing the scent on her body, she smiled apologetically at her, and turned to go to the ear room again.
There was a slight sound of water in the ear room, and Chen Nianguan knew that it was him washing up, and his heart couldn't stop beating.
"Wan Wan!"
When Zhang Erlang took her into his arms again, he hugged her so tightly that he almost wanted to rub her into his flesh and blood.
The face of the person in his arms is like a lotus, as bright as a peach and plum, he has long wanted to kiss Fangze, his fingers lingered over the delicate eyebrows, almond eyes, rosy nose, and watery lips. The fragrance is alluring, prompting him to pick it again and again.
Chen Nianguan only felt his heart beating faster and faster, his breath getting heavier and heavier, and then his body was suspended in the air, and he fell into a soft pile of brocade mattresses, his hair was scattered, and his clothes fell to the ground, extremely lingering.
The aura that belonged to Lang Jun poured into her ears and eyes, she was dizzy, shrouded in his hot aura, feeling his lingering on her body, until finally, she was so clumsy and jerky that she couldn't get in, and she gradually recovered a little bit of consciousness.
"Yuro!"
She took the initiative to cooperate and accept him until the water and milk became harmonious.
Outside the hibiscus tent, red candles swayed in harmony with the murmur of mandarin ducks.
When Chen Nianguan opened his eyes the next day, he found that he was lazily lying in Zhang Erlang's arms, with a red curtain on his head, and he immediately remembered everything from yesterday.
Oh, she is married!
Oh, she is someone else's wife!
She raised her eyes, glanced at her husband, and saw that he was also staring at her, her heart skipped a beat.
This person, so he woke up early?
"Wan Wan!" Zhang Yulang, who stared at her for a long time after she woke up, smiled at this moment.
Chen Nianguan couldn't help feeling a little shy, he lowered his head, and breathed close to her ear, it was so warm that it made her burn red from her long neck to her forehead.
"Are you all right?"
Chen Nianguan nodded and wanted to get up, but the hands holding her were tighter.
"Okay, are you up?"
A Niang said, what is the bride doing on the second day of her marriage?
"It's okay! You are the mistress at home, you have the final say!" Zhang Yulang rested his chin lightly on her head, and the hand under the quilt went to find her hand, "It's still early, let's sleep for a while!"
Chen Nianguan couldn't help laughing when he heard that he had the final say!
No, she is Zhang's wife today, so if she is lazy, even A Niang can't care about her!
"I'm sorry, for a while, who will get us something to eat?"
"I found a woman and put it in the kitchen. Although the craftsmanship is definitely not as good as yours, it's not difficult to eat." Zhang Yulang also smiled, squeezed Chen Nianguan's hand, then leaned over and kissed.
Chen Nianguan's hand was held by him, and he felt very at ease.
"Wan Wan!"
"Ok!"
"Let's try again?"
Chen Nianguan twitched his mouth and nodded slightly.
Zhang Yulang looked at her tenderly, moved his hand, and pulled the quilt over his head, wrapping them up.
Liu was worried all night.
The next day got up early, left the wing room, and paid attention to the movement of the Zhang house next door. watched the time pass, and heard that Qi Mu in Zhang house went out to do errands, and the mother-in-law and servants came out to clean the courtyard. haven't heard daughter and son-in-lawvoice, can't help but feel anxious.
"Auntie!"
Uncle Liu's family came to attend the wedding banquet, and they are going back to Liujia Village today. The second aunt had to go back to Prefecture City with her son to open a shop, so the aunts got up early, planning to tell Mrs. Liu, and prepare some simple breakfast,Seeing that Mrs. Liu was out of her mind, she looked towards the other side of Zhang's house again and again, there was nothing she didn't understand, so she immediately laughed.
"You! Are you worried about Wan Wan?"
"What is there to worry about? Wan Wan doesn't need to get up early today to honor her parents-in-law. She should sleep a little longer."
"That's right, the young couple, sleep a little longer, it's easy to hold the two for three years, and you will be someone else's grandmother by then."
All the aunts laughed, but Liu Shi felt embarrassed.
"Don't worry, aunt, even if Wan Wan is married, won't she still be next door to you? If there's anything, you'll be the first to know."
"That's not right! I married into Liujia Village, but it's three villages away."
"I didn't marry from a village two thousand miles away."
"Then I am farther than you!"
After the aunts finished speaking, Qi Qi looked in the direction of Zhang's house, saw the moon gate through the middle, and Qi Qi looked at Liu Shi, very envious.
Liu Shi felt relieved at once.
Three days later, the moon gate leading to Zhang's house opened, and Chen Nianguan and Zhang Erlang came to complete the door-returning ceremony, and the moon gate will be open from now on.
"Auntie! Xuan Xuan!"
The daughter appeared in her own house as if she had traveled far away before. When she saw her for the first time, she was shy for a while, and then returned to her natural demeanor.
However, it is still different from before.
The beautiful hair tied into a woman's bun is the proof.
"Mother-in-law!"
Seeing her son-in-law greet her, Mrs. Liu asked Qi Mu and Dao He to send the homecoming gift to the main room, as if they lived in their own house before.
However, Liu discovered that Zhang Erlang was completely different from the impression he had left on him before.
The impression he left on me earlier was that he was a scholar with handsome features and good academic ability. When I saw him today, he was tall and calm, and his eyes looked over. Although he was still gentle and polite to him, there was a faintThere is an indescribable sense of oppression that makes people feel stagnant.
Duan De is an extraordinary big man.
Why didn't he feel this way to himself before?
In just three days, can a person be so reborn?
Is it because now that he is his son-in-law, the more he looks the more pleasing to the eye?
Or is it because Zhongju has become a master and has a demeanor all over his body?
"Big brother!" Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye shouted happily.
"Brother-in-law!" the eldest daughter corrected.
"Brother-in-law!" Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye followed suit.
Liu looked at Zhang Erlang standing next to them, his expression was still as natural as before, but his eyes were always on Wan Wan, shaking Wan Wan's hand from time to time, or carelessly stroking Wan Wan's hair,Suddenly he secretly smiled.
For those who are married, the couple show every trace of friendship from between their fingers to their eyebrows. Seeing such a good relationship, it is estimated that the daughter should be very happy. What else is there for her to be a mother?????worried?
When a table of people were having lunch in the dining hall, they inevitably talked about Zhang Erlang's participation in the next year's examination.
Liu Shi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
If she was right, now Wan Wan can fulfill her long-cherished wish for herself and her dead husband.
Chen Nianguan plans to go to Capital City with Zhang Erlang soon.
Firstly, Zhang Erlang wanted to get acquainted with the atmosphere of Kyoto as soon as possible, and found an academy to continue his studies. Second, Chen Nianguan planned to open a restaurant in Capital City this time.
After looking forward to it for a long time, she has been thinking about where to open a restaurant. In the end, Chen Nianguan made up her mind. In addition to what Liu said, there is also the confidence brought by the profit of the ice shop.
In just three months or so, she had saved two households worth more than 10,000 yuan. At that time, she was planning to take the final step of her grand plan.
With the experience of opening a shop in this dynasty, the chef who can fight side by side with him in the plan also has enough skills after the experience. In addition, all kinds of sauces needed for cooking instant noodles can be stabilized by the Liu familyShe has supplied it, and she has even learned about the cold chain of materials. The rest is to consider the operation and location of the restaurant.
Well, the idea of opening a restaurant in Prefecture City is not out of the question.
She already has a pho shop and a sugar shop in Prefecture City, and it is not impossible to open a restaurant in Prefecture City, but the timing is not good, because it happens that she is going to Capital City, so she has to give up the idea for the time being.
In addition, if Capital City is the largest town, her current mode of recruiting partners of the Pho branch is a bit like the measure of encircling the city from the countryside, which is to expand the food market little by little, and finally form an impact.
But when she opened a restaurant, she planned to go straight to her heart and open a restaurant in the bustling area of Capital City. By then, it would become famous all over the world, and then the influence of Chen's restaurant would be expanded from the core location.
In the end, it is natural to consider the audience and consumer market of the restaurant.
The restaurants she wants to eat are also aimed at the middle and high-level consumers, especially the wives and girls of the rich and powerful families.
So, where are the most powerful and rich?Of course, Kyoto!
So Chen Nianguan made up his mind at that time, he must go to the imperial city to earn money from people in Kyoto.
So, the goal is set like this.
The rest of the lesson is, how to open a Chen's restaurant in Capital City?
The first step of the goal is to set off and go to Capital City!
But, before leaving, it is also necessary to settle the business affairs of the main store and various branches of Prefecture City.
The main store and the west store of the pho shop can already be operated independently, and they usually do piecemeal work, even if she is not there, it will not be a problem.
The key thing to settle is the Tangshui shop.
Although the daily profit of the sugar shop is increasing steadily, it hasn't been long since it's on the right track, and Liu Yang, the shopkeeper, has just gotten started, and she's going to take one of the sugar masters away, so who will fill the gap?vacancy?
In addition, now that winter is approaching, the Tangshui shop must pay attention to changing the cold and cool environment, and turn to warm and heat preservation, which is also to teach Liu Yang.
"If you want to take Yunyun to Capital City, you have to ask Liu He and your uncle first." Liu reminded.
"Mom, I will."
Because of this, Chen Nianwan went to Liu He first.
When Liu He heard that he was going to take his younger sister to Capital City, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood, "Cousin, if you take Yunyun to Capital City, it won't be..."
Chen Nianguan smiled and said no.
There was nothing Liu He didn't understand, so he smiled and agreed: "I'm naturally relieved to be by your side, that is, please take care of Yunyun, cousin."
Chen Nianguan promised to take good care of Liu Yun.
After talking about Liu Yun's departure, Liu He recommended Shuan Zi as the sugar master in the sugar shop after Liu Yun left.He was willing, so Shuanzi was taken by Chen Nianwan to the Tangshui shop in Fucheng.
Liu Yun heard his cousin said that he would take him to Capital City, but his expression was not as excited as Chen Nianguan thought, but rather uneasy: "Cousin, I am going to Capital City, what should I do with this sugar shop?"
There are only two sugar masters in the sugar shop, sometimes they are too busy, can I leave now?That brother Shuanzi is capable, but he has to start over from scratch. Can he learn so quickly?
In addition, she was regarded as a technology investor at the beginning, but she had two shares in the Tangshui shop. If she was leaving, wouldn't she be able to share the money from the Tangshui shop?
Chen Nianguan learned of Liu Yun’s concern, and said that there is no need to worry. After the fall, the sugar water is boiled, which mainly depends on the skill of the stove. Shuan Zi has experience in cooking in the noodle shop, and it will definitely be enough. As for the next yearFor the drinks and ice products, just ask Sister Fang to teach him slowly.
"It just so happens that winter is coming soon, and this climate is just right for Sister Fang to teach him how to cook cold food. There is plenty of time."
After hearing that her cousin brought her into Capital City to open a restaurant, Liu Yundeng became very happy.
She can distribute so much money every month for the sugar shop, so in a place as big and prosperous as Capital City, won't there be more money for opening a restaurant?Immediately nodded again and again, willing to go.
What about the capital city!She even had the opportunity to see a place that her uncles and brothers had never been to!
Liu Yun became excited, and then said that the two shares in the Tangshui shop can be dispensed with.
"What girl, why don't you want it? This shop still has your name on it?" Chen Nianguan lamented that Liu Yun was too honest, "Besides, you are also responsible for the opening of this sugar shop!"
"But, I'm leaving. Sister Fang is the master chef of this store, but she doesn't have any." Liu Yun said, "How about giving my shares to Sister Fang?"
"Don't worry about that."
Turning around, Chen Nianguan called Sister Fang to him, told him his plan, and then gave the two of them a ten-year employment contract.
"From now on, you will be the master of this sugar shop, Sister Fang." Chen Nianguan said, "I will give you six taels of silver for the monthly salary. In addition, there is a fixed five percent of the total income every month."What do you think of the bonus?"
