Chapter 6 Father-daughter Talk
There are not many things in the salt industry today. Before it came to You, Chen Shoucai accompanied Yan Shengrui back home. Huang opened the door and accompanied the host to the door of the bedroom with her husband.
Yan Shengrui turned around and said lightly, "Money guard, I'm a little hungry. Let's prepare dinner." I raised my legs and went into the house by myself.
Chen Shoucai answered respectfully, retreated to the kitchen with Huang, and ordered the cook to add two stir-fried dishes quickly. I also went back to my room to change my clothes. Huang was left busy in the kitchen to heat wine and serve rice.
Hui Niang and Qian Yu have been waiting in the house for a long time. Seeing their father enter the door, the two of them quickly went up to help take off their cloaks and regular clothes outside, and put on their narrow-sleeved coats at home. He served his father, washed his hands and face, and served a cup of hot tea. When her father sat on the chair and began to drink tea, Hui Niang sent Qian Yu away. She turned to the warm pavilion inside and hung the changed clothes neatly on the hanger. Yan Shengrui looked at his daughter doing things and suddenly thought of his wife Ma, and he was unconsciously sad. He put down the tea he had just taken and sighed. Hui Niang was coming out of the warm pavilion. When she heard her father sigh, she became nervous again.
"Daughter, don't look at the father's scenery outside, there is too much helplessness in my heart!" Yan Shengrui looked at his daughter and said sadly, "Although your mother has left, it is also a comfort for me to leave your sister and brother!"
As soon as Hui Niang heard her father mention her mother, she was sad and burst into tears. Yan Shengrui saw his daughter burst into tears and thought that he had been running around in the past few days. He didn't know what to do tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he was also sad. Sitting in the chair, he silently shed a few tears and quickly wiped it dry again. Looking at the lattice on the door, he said helplessly, "Daughter, being a father really made you suffer a lot. But I really don't know what to do! It has been three days since I came to Peiping, and I haven't found a way to meet the King of Yan. If this is delayed any longer, I don't know if it will have any impact on the salt industry and the Yan family! Alas! Looking at the current situation, I really don't know if our Yan family can avoid this disaster!"
Hui Niang quickly stopped crying, gently walked to her father, knelt on her knees, lowered her head and said firmly, "Father, don't worry! No matter how big the storm is, the Yan family has also experienced it, and it will still be safe this time! Hui Niang is the daughter of the Yan family, and she should do her best for the Yan family!"
Hearing this, Yan Shengrui stood up from the chair, picked up Hui Niang with both hands, and looked at her with relief.
Someone knocked gently on the door outside the door. The father and daughter quickly sorted out their emotions. Yan Shengrui sat back on the chair again, and Hui Niang stood beside him peacefully.
Yan Shengrui recovered his appearance and asked majestically, "Is it money guard?"
"Master, it's me! The meal is ready. Do you use it now?
"I know!" Yan Shengrui went to the door and opened the door. He went to the dining room in front of him with Shoucai.
Hui Niang stood in the house until her father and the shopkeeper left together, and then sighed and went back to her small building. Huang had already prepared the meal and waited with a smile. Seeing that the young lady came back, she came forward happily and said, "Miss is back! Dinner is ready. Do you want to use it now?
Hui Niang also replied with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother my sister-in-law! Did your sister-in-law have dinner yet? If you haven't eaten, sit down and eat together! Where are those little girlies?
"They were hungry just now, and I asked them to go to the kitchen for dinner. Shall I serve you?" With that, he moved a round stool and helped Hui Niang sit down.
Hui Niang took the opportunity to press Huang on the round stool next to her and said politely, "Sister-in-law, don't do this! We are different from those little girlies. If you want to count from your mother's house, I will also call you cousin. Now that we are in Peiping, why do we have a division?
When Huang saw that Hui Niang said this, he sat down. The two began to eat. Just half of the meal, the four maids came back laughing. As soon as I entered the room, I saw that the young lady and the shopkeeper's grandmother were still eating. They all shut up knowingly, picked up their own errands, and waited quietly.
