When Jiang Shangwen and Jiang Shangwu returned home, the inquirer also came back.

That Xu Jieyuan was an old Mingzhou native. However, in the past, his family had been doing business in other places all year round. More than ten years ago, because he was particularly good at reading, his wife took him back to his old house in Mingzhou to settle down and study peacefully.

The population of the Xu family in Mingzhou is simple, as simple as Xu Jieyuan and his wife. There are not many servants in the family. Most of them are old servants who have been with them for more than ten years. Xu Jieyuan comes in and out, and there is only a boy named Papaya by his side.

.

As for the Xu family's family members in other places, there must be some, but I don't know the details, and I have never seen family members from other places come back. In the past ten years, Xu Jieyuan seems to be the only two of them, he and his wife, and I have never seen them go out.

I haven't seen anyone come back.

The Xu family lives in a five-bedroom house with a small garden. Houses like this are very common among wealthy households in Mingzhou. There are countless rich households like this in Mingzhou city.

However, among the few servants in the Xu family, there are two cooks.

A cook is a valuable item that ordinary wealthy households cannot afford and have no need for. A family that raises a cook is considered very wealthy even in Mingzhou City. The Xu family has two, and the Xu family has

The house, the few servants, and the incoming and outgoing influence of Xu Jieyuan and his wife were a bit out of place.

But this is nothing unusual in Mingzhou.

Almost all the wealthy families in Mingzhou are engaged in the seafood business. They don't show it on the surface, but in fact they are surprisingly wealthy. There are many families in Mingzhou city, such as her and her brother's family.

Well, she should also choose a cook. I heard that the food prepared by the cook is very different from the cooks on the market.

No one in the Xu family is too talkative. They all talk about something when they have something to say, and they don't say a word about gossip when they have nothing to do.

Several people sent by Jiang Shangwen were all veterans of asking for information. After asking for more than a day, they could not find out anything except the things that the neighbors knew.

But there’s no need to ask too much, that’s about it.

First of all, the population of the Xu family is simple. I'm afraid there are only two of them, Xu Jieyuan and his wife. The others, even if they are there, are at most members of the same clan. Otherwise, it is impossible for those who are slightly close to each other not to have contact with each other for more than ten years.

The Xu family can support two cooks. In addition to being extremely wealthy, that means that their family should also have a maritime business. I don’t know whether it is the Xu Jieyuan who takes care of it or his wife. It’s good to have a maritime business...

Xu Jieyuan and his wife seemed to have very good tempers, cheerful and lively, and both loved to run out.

Posts inviting Xu Jieyuan to Huiwen and Friends came to his door. There were several times a day, but it seemed that Xu Jieyuan didn't go there much. He went out once or twice a day. Most of the time, he took the boy named Papaya with him, and he was very leisurely.

You can enjoy the scenery and the excitement. It’s not that much when you go to Wenhui.

As for the old lady, she listened to big plays everywhere, all day long.

The next day, Jiang Shangwen met Xu Jieyuan who was strolling along the street.

Jiang Shangwen originally wanted to get rid of Jiang Shangwu's big tail.

When practicing in the morning, Jiang Shangwu was first beaten and trained, and he was ordered to practice this and that. It was assumed that he would not be free all morning, so he changed his clothes and came out.

Unexpectedly, she slipped out of the door and was only half relieved. Jiang Shangwu jumped out from the corner, put his hands on his hips, and looked at Jiang Shangwen triumphantly, "Sister, you have grown so big, how could you throw me away?"

?I told you a long time ago, give up on this idea."

Jiang Shangwen was so angry that he didn't even bother to hum. He swallowed his half-breath and went straight forward without looking at Jiang Shangwu.

Jiang Shangwu didn't need to look at her, he quickly followed without missing a step.

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Jiang Shangwu pointed at his sister.

Jiang Shangwen suddenly turned around, and Jiang Shangwu jumped back in fright, "Sister, you think I didn't say anything!"

Jiang Shangwen snorted fiercely, threw up his sleeves, and rushed forward with great momentum.

Qing Liu hurriedly followed the reminder, "Madam, your skirt, your skirt!"

Jiang Shangwen hurriedly stopped, straightened his breath, took small elegant steps, held her round fan, and walked through the streets and alleys. Following the instructions of the wives and old servants scattered around, Jiang Shangwen quickly decorated Xu Jieyuan.

Jiang Shangwu glared at Xu Jieyuan, then glared from Xu Jieyuan to his sister. He raised his hand to cover his mouth, covering up all the nonsense. His sister failed to get rid of him. At this moment, he was just like a firecracker filled with gunpowder.

If he dares to talk too much, his sister will beat him. He has experience in this.

Xu Huan took Papaya and wandered along the street. He had no purpose. There were no cultural gatherings to go to today, and there were no friends to meet. His wife had gone out to listen to a play. He was alone at home and was sulking, so he went out to wander around and buy a few tablets.

Ink, the new ink from the Cao family this year has been delivered.

Xu Huanyou was leisurely passing by the Zhao family's skillful rice dumplings. He stretched his head and saw that there was a portion of about twenty rice dumplings left in the flat basket containing raw rice dumplings. He suddenly smiled and hurriedly waved to the shopkeeper, "At this time,

There are even glutinous rice balls, shopkeeper, wrap all these glutinous rice balls for me."

His mother-in-law likes to eat Zhao's rice dumplings the most. Zhao's rice dumplings have a secret recipe. No other family can make the same taste as hers.

When Xu Huan looked at the dumplings with a wide smile, Jiang Shangwen was about ten steps behind him. Looking at the signboard of Zhao's dumplings, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly motioned to the woman who was following him, "Buy whatever he has in his hand!"

He bought it first, and she was behind, so she would definitely start a fight. When the fight started, she would step forward to scold the mother-in-law, and then apologize to Xu Jieyuan. With this, it was settled.

The mother-in-law walked very fast. The shopkeeper over there had just wrapped the glutinous rice balls and handed them out. Before Papaya could take them, the old woman had already stepped forward, pointed at the bag of glutinous rice balls and said, "I want this."

"Mommy, I'm sorry, this is the last one. I have already bought it..." the shopkeeper hurriedly explained with a smile.

"Give it to her, I'll buy it tomorrow." Xu Huan glanced at the mother-in-law, confessed with a smile, then smiled at the mother-in-law, bowed slightly, turned around and left.

The mother-in-law came back with the dumplings. Before the mother-in-law could get close to her, Jiang Shangwen winked. The mother-in-law lowered her eyes in agreement, brushed past Jiang Shangwen, and walked straight away.

Jiang Shangwu's eyebrows rose and fell. He couldn't help it any longer. He took a step closer to his sister and said in a low voice: "This Jieyuan is too weak. This is not a good temper."

...You pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Before he finished his sentence, Jiang Shangwu immediately retreated in response to his sister's raised eyebrows.

Jiang Shangwen glanced at him harshly, snorted, and continued to follow Xu Huan, walking forward gracefully.

Xu Huan shook his folding fan and saw something wherever he went. He passed by Huang's ginger candy and stretched out his head to take a look. His wife came back from the opera in the evening and liked to eat two pieces of ginger candy to keep away the cold. He also liked it. The ginger candy at home didn't seem to be good.

Much more.

"Shopkeeper, is this made from ginger juice? Give me two kilograms of it." Xu Huan looked around, pointed to a small box of ginger candies and said with a smile to the shopkeeper.

This kind of turmeric and ginger juice has the strongest flavor of candied ginger and is best for repelling cold.

Jiang Shangwen, who was more than ten steps behind Xu Huan, winked at a woman again and said, "Buy them all back."

The first time he gave in, how could he give in this second time? She didn't believe it.

The mother-in-law lowered her eyes and agreed, stepping forward quickly before Papaya reached out to take the two kilograms of ginger candies. While reaching out to stop the bag of ginger candies, she laughed with the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I want all these candies."

Yes, I want them all, including this package."

Xu Huan raised his eyebrows, and Papaya's two eyebrows were raised high, but he didn't look at the mother-in-law, only looking at Xu Huan.

"It's okay. I'll buy it tomorrow. She must be in urgent need, so give it to her."

Xu Huan answered the words very quickly. Before the shopkeeper could speak, he had already shaken the folding fan and gave in with a smile. After speaking, he shook the folding fan and opened it again. He turned around, glanced around quickly, and then walked forward leisurely.

Walk.

Papaya clapped his hands, followed his young master calmly, and continued walking forward.

Jiang Shangwu burst out laughing. Jiang Shangwen was so depressed that he didn't even hear Jiang Shangwu's laughter.

After leisurely walking half a street, Xu Huan stopped at the door of a hat shop, looked up for a while, then stepped in, looking at the shop full of all kinds of Futou hats, picking and choosing, and picked for a long time.

Pointing to a futou, "How much does this futou cost?"

"You have such good taste. This is the latest look in the capital this year. It is elegant and generous, and it only costs six cents." The hat shop clerk hurriedly took off the futou, put it on the snow-white linen, and held it in front of Xu Huan.

"It's not bad, wrap it up for me." Xu Huan looked left and right for a while, looking very satisfied.

Papaya stepped forward and was about to take out the money when a woman came up from behind, pointed at the futou and said, "I want this futou, how much silver is it?"

"I'm really sorry, this nun..." The waiter hurriedly explained to the mother-in-law with a smile on his face.

"Give it to her. This futou is really good. I'll come back tomorrow." Xu Huan interrupted the waiter, tapped the futou with a folding fan, turned around and walked out.

Papaya followed closely and took a step forward, "Master, it seems..."

"Well, I committed a crime. I won't go shopping anymore. Go back." Xu Huan said he stopped shopping, but his pace remained leisurely. He still looked around while walking, turned around a street, and then walked leisurely towards

Go back and wander back.

Jiang Shangwu looked at the woman passing by with her head in hand, and her shoulders shook with laughter this time.
