Chapter 167 Meeting an acquaintance
Madam Wen was so shocked that she didn't recover until the banquet at Prince Ning's Mansion was over.
I had originally planned to give my eldest granddaughter a good scolding when I got home, but now I didn't dare to do so. I could only watch Wen Wanwan swaggering back to my yard with her people.
"Grandma, look at my elder sister. She now relies on the support of her grandparents and doesn't even take you seriously..."
Wen Jinzhu looked at the receding figure, gritted her teeth, and started to apply eye drops out of habit. She thought the old lady would start scolding Wen Wanwan without asking the reason as she did in the past, but she didn't expect that she was interrupted by Madam Wen in a harsh voice before she could finish her sentence.
"If you have the time, go back and look after your yard. Don't let the little belongings you borrowed back with great difficulty get stolen again!"
After saying this, Madam Wen didn't care what Wen Jinzhu thought. She glanced at her coldly, snorted, and left.
Wen Jinzhu was caught off guard by this sudden change. She didn't expect that her grandmother, who had always disliked Wen Wanwan, might have taken the wrong medicine today and got angry at her most beloved granddaughter.
She was usually spoiled, and she felt so embarrassed when she was just scolded by her grandmother that her eyes immediately turned red and she ran away covering her face.
A few days later, it was Yuxiu's housewarming celebration. It had been several days since they moved into the new home, but they had been busy cleaning and had no time to invite friends and relatives to come over.
Originally, the three members of Yuxiu's family thought that they could just invite a few people from Prince Ning's Mansion and Wen Wanwan to a gathering, but they didn't expect that on the day of the gathering, an endless stream of people came to give gifts early in the morning, and they were all the mistresses and daughters of the family.
Since the customers had come to our store, there was no point in pushing them out. There were already many things in the warehouse anyway, so if there were not enough, Zhang Wentang would take people out to purchase them.
As a result, the Xu family, which originally had few people, soon became lively. The purpose of these people coming was very simple. Needless to say, everyone understood that they came for the medical skills of Cui, the disciple of the Divine Doctor.
Thinking it was not good to keep the family in suspense, Cui discussed it with Yuxiu and announced in public that they were preparing to set up a pharmacy at home, and explained that everything would have to wait until she gave birth successfully.
I heard that Cui would open a pharmacy in the capital in the future. Even if she was not seeing patients, she would make some pills and sell them from time to time. The ladies of each family were very happy.
Only a few ladies who had patients in their houses were a little anxious, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud at such a lively banquet. They were afraid of being accused of being unlucky, so they could only suppress their anxiety and wait until they had another chance to speak out.
After the banquet, Yuxiu's family finally settled down in the capital, and a sign of Xu Mansion was hung on the gate of the Xu family.
The peaceful days passed quickly, and before they knew it, the baby in Cui's belly was already more than seven months old.
Because she was pregnant with twins, Cui's belly was much bigger than others. Fortunately, she was in good health now. Apart from the fact that her heavy belly caused back pain and she had to get up frequently at night, she didn't have any other bad reactions.
The weather has been very cold recently, and Yuxiu no longer goes out running around. She stays at home with Cui every day.
Xu Qinghe was very busy. Yards were being built on the two farms. He would go over to take a look from time to time and bring some things that were needed there.
"Your grandmother should be arriving in the capital soon, right?"
Cui stroked her round belly and thought of her relatives. She wished she could run out to pick them up right now.
"It should be arriving soon, don't worry, mom. The road is a little calmer now, and my uncle has found a caravan to travel with us, so we should be there soon."
Yuxiu understood Cui's anxiety. Besides, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, so she definitely wanted her relatives to come and accompany her even more.
"Mom, take a good rest. I'll go check out the house over there later. If the renovation is almost done, I'll go to Manager Qian to buy some more people and decorate the yard as soon as possible. When grandma and her family come over, we can move in directly then."
Uncle Cui had previously sent a letter saying that he would be coming over soon, so Yuxiu's family discussed buying a yard for the Cui family.
Although their house can accommodate them now, they are two families after all, and it would definitely be inconvenient for everyone to live together, so they decided to pay some money and help buy a yard.
"Okay, come back early when you're done."
After Cui sent Yuxiu out, she went to see the small clothes that Wen Mama and others had made for the unborn baby.
The yard bought for the Cui family is not far from the Xu family. It only takes a turn across an alley to get there.
However, this is an old courtyard. As the original owner has not been in the capital for many years, the courtyard has not been well maintained. This year, the owner came to the capital for business and saw that the courtyard was too dilapidated, so he sold it to a real estate agency.
Anyway, he has more than one house, so he is too lazy to spend the energy to renovate it.
Just that day, Yuxiu said she wanted to buy a house, and Qian Da recommended this place to her. Although the house and yard were a bit dilapidated, as long as she had enough money and hired someone to renovate it, it would become a new yard.
Yuxiu also liked the fact that this place was close to Tianshui Lane. If anything happened, it would be more convenient for the two families to visit each other, so she decided to buy it.
So the task was handed over to Zhang Wentang, who hired some young and strong workers and started the renovation in a lively manner.
Yuxiu went over to take a look and saw that the originally dilapidated yard had slowly changed its appearance. She believed that it would be repaired in two or three days.
She originally wanted to go to Qian Da to buy someone, but as soon as she turned out of the alley, she met a group of very familiar faces.
Leading the group was a middle-aged couple, wearing silk robes and several accessories. However, with their noses turned upside down, they did not look like wealthy people at all. Instead, they looked like nouveau riche entering the city.
Four young men and a girl followed behind. They looked around and saw Yuxiu coming towards them. They did not recognize her but reflexively moved aside.
Seeing that they didn't recognize her, Yuxiu raised her eyebrows and walked past them without even looking at them.
"Dad, are we really going to live in such a nice place in the future?"
"I really feel like I'm dreaming, sister, please pinch me..."
"That's great. If we go out in the future, we will be citizens of the capital..."
A few young men gathered together and whispered, occasionally unable to help laughing, and walked into the last yard in the alley in a lively manner.
