Chapter 499 · Ruixue
Tang Xuexuan smiled and said, "Everyone is also happy. This year has been really hard and it is rare to relax and unwind. How can I pour cold water on this? People still don't think that I am making a big deal out of my identity as the young boss. How can I interact with them in the shop in the future?" Let’s talk to each other?”
Huang shook her head helplessly, "Okay, it's already so late, you should go back to bed quickly."
Tang Xuexuan chuckled, "Mom!" He pointed to the door and said, "Look, it's snowing outside."
"Really?" Ms. Huang was also surprised. She looked up and saw white snowflakes flying in the wind in the dark night. She smiled and said, "It has not snowed in Hangzhou for several years. Last time your father When you took me to Broken Bridge to see Can Xue, you were not even ten years old. In the blink of an eye..."
There was a bit of sadness and emotion in his tone.
Tang Xuexing said, "As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year. It seems that next year will be a good year, and our family's life will get better and better."
Huang smiled and said, "I hope so."
Tang Xuexuan did not stay any longer, and left with a smile after saying goodbye to her mother.
Mr. Huang waited on Tang Songzhou and rested. Unexpectedly, the snow still didn't stop early the next morning. Tiny snowflakes fell from the sky, and the whole world was white.
Just then, a plum tree in Mrs. Tang's courtyard was in full bloom, with red plum blossoms and white snow. The Tang family gathered under the tree to enjoy the snow scene, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Mrs. Tang was old after all, and she was afraid of standing outside for too long and getting cold, so she was helped in by Grandma Li. Mrs. Tang's interest was not diminished and she said happily, "These plum blossoms are really good at blooming in time. I said yesterday that the flower buds had been growing for a few days, but there was still no sign of blooming. I didn't expect that the snow would encourage them to bloom at night. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I smelled a refreshing fragrance, and at that time I was surprised. I didn’t expect the plum blossoms to bloom at all, so I just thought I was in a trance and had an illusion.”
Grandma Li said, "Maybe the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. It seems it's not cold enough, or it would have bloomed long ago."
The two people were talking when Tang Songzhou walked in.
Grandma Li poured him tea with quick eyes and hands, while Tang Songzhou told his mother about closing the account yesterday. She learned that her son had handled everything in an orderly manner, not only settling the monthly payment but also sealing red envelopes for everyone. The shopkeeper and The guys were also very happy. Mrs. Tang praised with satisfaction, "You and Fengjun have done a good job in this matter. These people have worked hard to help the family run the house for a year. There is still hard work without credit, and people's hearts are They are all grown from flesh. If someone respects me, I will give him another foot. If you treat them well, they will do things more attentively. This is a great thing that benefits both parties. They can also live a happy new year in peace and quiet. From now on. When doing this, let Brother Xing watch from the side, and let him learn from it. This is what he needs to master in the future. It is not about winning people's hearts, it can only be regarded as exchanging sincerity for sincerity."
Tang Songzhou said, "For this reason, I have been taking Brother Xun with me, so don't worry."
At noon, everyone had dinner in Mrs. Tang's room, and Tang Xueru left in a hurry after the meal. Seeing her daughter leaving in a hurry, Huang asked Bai Rongxuan in confusion, "What is she doing? No way." What trouble did you cause again?"
Bai Rongxuan shook her head, "No." She told her aunt the agreement between Mrs. Tang and Tang Xueru.
When Mrs. Huang found out, she let out a long sigh, "I was almost half crazy after being tortured by her, and I was so nervous when there was such a thing."
"Don't worry." Bai Rongxuan comforted her, "Xueru is really more sensible this time. As long as you slowly reason with her, she will definitely not be as impulsive as before."
Tang Xuezhen also went out and reported to Tang Songzhou after he came back, "I went to the shop, and the doors on both sides were closed. The shopkeeper and the waiters all went home. I went in and took a look. They were cleaned and the door was clean. There are also peach charms and Spring Festival couplets hung on them, which should have been done early this morning."
Tang Songzhou didn't expect his son to be so thoughtful. He patted his shoulder and praised him, "Yes, there are some things I won't tell you, but you know what to do yourself. This is what an adult should be like."
Tang Xuexuan lowered his head in embarrassment.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tang, who was drinking tea at the side, smiled and said, "Brother Xun is of course an adult. We are going to get engaged after the new year. How can we act like a child?"
When she mentioned her marriage, Tang Xuexuan couldn't even lift her head, and her face was so red that she seemed to be bleeding.
Tang Songzhou took advantage of the situation and talked about going to Xuzhou to give the betrothal gift after the new year. These days, Mr. Huang has prepared the betrothal gift in detail and thoughtfully. Everything was decided after discussing with Mrs. Tang. The betrothal gift is not only related to his family's face, but also the betrothal gift. It is also related to the face of the future in-laws, the Li family. If anything goes wrong, others will think that the Tang family does not value the daughter of the Li family. Even if the marriage can be successful, I am afraid that Miss Li will be resentful and will be difficult to get along with when she gets married. .
Mrs. Tang said, "Although the appointment is a matter for the man, he can't make the decision on everything by himself. I think it's better to send a message to the Li family and let Mr. Li and Mrs. Li help with the advice. That's all. It won't make people feel unhappy because of each other's faces. If we discuss things with each other, things will only get better and better."
Mrs. Huang was always convinced by Mrs. Tang's words, and nodded when she heard the sound, "You are right, I thought so too. After all, I want to send a message to Mr. Li. It is not surprising that there are many people, so let me know in advance. The Li family can also prepare in advance."
Tang Songzhou said, "I have already inquired about it. The best route to Xuzhou is to take the waterway. Not only is it faster, but it does not go far at all. It will also pass by Suzhou and Nanjing on the way. If you dock, you can go there. Yuluo and Brother Zhi..."
When Bai Rongxuan heard her brother's name, she immediately became excited.
If she passes by Nanjing, can she meet her brother? It would be great if she could go to Xiapin with him! But she also knows that Mrs. Tang and her mother will not be relieved by such a long journey, but she really I miss my brother so much... Just when Bai Rongxuan's heart was turning over and over again, Tang Songzhou had already continued, "But the canal will not be unblocked until the 19th of the first lunar month, and it will take some time until there is a cargo ship to Xuzhou. , so it’s best to set the date of appointment in March, when spring will be warm and the flowers will be blooming, and you won’t have to suffer too much on the road.”
Madam Tang gave a faint hum, "I'll look through the almanac later and decide on a date later. Although it's a low-level appointment, the etiquette and attention to detail must not be lacking at all. If you stumble over this, it won't be good for the newcomer. "
When Mrs. Huang heard that it might affect her son, she immediately agreed, "I don't understand these things. I'm entirely at your disposal."
Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xun is the eldest grandson of the Tang family. I will definitely choose a good life for him." After thinking about it, she suddenly said, "It happened that on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Zhang made an appointment with me to go to the temple.
I'll listen to the scriptures here, and I'll ask the abbot by the way, which will make it safer."
Naturally, Mr. Huang had no objection and agreed wholeheartedly.
Mrs. Tang hesitated and said, "As for the person I hired..."
She thought of Tang Chongzhou.
As Tang Xuexuan's eldest uncle, he was definitely the best choice, but Xiang's side had just become pregnant, so he was afraid that Tang Chongzhou wouldn't be able to leave.
Mrs. Tang discussed with Mrs. Huang, "As the saying goes, your mother is your uncle. Should his uncle also help with Brother Xun's marriage?"
Mrs. Huang was stunned when she was asked. She didn't expect Mrs. Tang to suddenly mention her brother.
