Chapter 37: 驢打滾
[Donkey Roll]
Tang Shiman looked at her mother, vaguely guessed something, just not very clear, looked at her mother and slowly shook her head, “I don’t know.”
In the bottom of the heart silently sighed, she put a very good-looking hot gold red stamp in hands, looking at her own daughter, seriously said: “This invitation is sent from Li family, this time I was invited to go, (to get sb’s views by polite or indirect questioning) maybe for you and that Li young master’s marriage.” Originally she thought that this matter would be some time,but she just does not know actually it would be so fast to send, seems to be the last time when they were outside met Ji Ling, that time had an effect.
Hearing her mother’s words, Tang Shiman suddenly realised, why just to invite his mother to be a guest had to use such a formal invitation, originally there is still this kind of hint ah.
“You are my only daughter, I have done all these things for so many years so that you can have a good life. Now, marrying Mr Li is also a good choice, if you originally thought of Mr Ji, you can take him in a short period of time, but now in this situation, if you are too entangled, you may not get any benefits.” After dismissing the subordinates, now only mother and daughter were left in the room, so they were not afraid of spreading their private words.
Hearing Wan Jingqian say this, Tang Shiman is a little reluctant, last time Ji Ling knew Tang Xiaobao disliked the situation to invite themselves to the house, must still have feelings for themselves. It is not an exaggeration to say that she was surprised by Ji Ling, since that time Ji Ling’s figure often appeared in front of her, coupled with going out from time to time to hear rumours about Ji Ling, she felt that compared to Li Xiao, obviously, Ji Ling is more powerful in all aspects. And she doesn’t think that Tang Xiaobao is a good match for Ji Ling. She must have been forced to marry Tang Xiaobao in the first place.
Seeing his daughter did not answer his own question positively, Wan Jingqian will know what she is thinking in her mind. Just now, think carefully, if this time just like what they think, what if it is a refusal? Ji Ling, that side can not get the reply. Then about her daughter, how to deal with it in the future? “Shiman, now in this situation, you can’t be capricious.”
“Mother.” Tang Shiman looked at her mother, biting her lip with some reluctance, but in the end, she still knew that her mother was right. So she squeezed her handkerchief, gritted her teeth, and said, “If it’s really not possible, I’m willing to marry.”
Hearing Tang Shiman say this, Wan Jingqian touched her head and said lovingly, “After all, I didn’t raise a stupid child.”
Hearing her mother’s praise, Tang Shiman did not show any smile, although she promised. But in the bottom of her heart, there is still an idea, if the Li family did not mention this matter, then she will still have some time to conquer Ji Ling, she does not believe that she can not become the new Madam Ji.
After the birthday banquet, Li Xiao went to talk to his father.
Looking at his own only son, Master Li is still very satisfied with him, but his criteria for choosing a mate is a little undeniable, but that Tang Shiman looks and his son is also a good match, and that Tang House is the only one left, mother and daughter, if you marry her, it is estimated that the Tang House will sooner or later fall into their hands.
When he thinks of her mother’s tactics, thinking of the stepson who was married off, the current Mrs Ji. Thinking of Ji Ling’s tactics, even Boss Li, who has been doing business here for so many years, is not sure if he can get away with it if he is confronted with him. If he listened to his wife’s words to deal with the Tang family’s mother and daughter, this marriage would need to be considered for a moment.
Seeing his father staring at him, Li Xiao thought of what his mother had reminded him of, so he stood in front of his father and respectfully said, “Father, the Tang family and the Ji family are now relatives, and they don’t seem to be enemy.”
Hearing his son say this, Elder Li’s heart was moved and he stared at him waiting for his next words.
“Last time at Grandpa’s birthday banquet, Duke Ji and Lady Tang met, the two of them were quite familiar with each other between their words, and it looks like they still met in private.” Li Xiao looked at his father and told what he had seen.
Hearing him say this, Elder Master Li didn’t immediately let go, but just looked at his son and commanded, “Please ask your mother to invite that Mrs Tang to come up to the mansion for a get-together, and just say that you have occasionally obtained a rare object today, and ask her to come and appreciate it and play with it.”
“Yes.” Hearing his father say this, Li Xiao understood that this is to continue to explore the bottom, and also acquiesced, if there is no accident, will soon be able to go to propose marriage. Thinking about this, Li Xiao felt his heart was on fire and he was very happy.
As the day of inviting Mrs Tang to her house was approaching, Li Xiao felt very happy. It suddenly occurred to him that he hadn’t gone to buy cakes from that house since before the birthday banquet, and even the boy who used to run errands for him; he had called him back. Looked at the time, usually this time that small boss should be out of the stall, so with the attitude of coming to try his luck, Li Xiao went out alone.
The donkey roll made by Tang Xiaobao came out, it was welcomed by a wide range of customers, every time out, it was quickly sold out. Just because this is not much technical content, soon to be copied out, Tang Xiaobao also does not feel angry, because the ingredients are different, the taste is not the same, his home made one is the most delicious!
“Brother, you really didn’t lie to me, this is really delicious.” The girl doll poked the donkey in her hand and rolled it, one bite at a time, eating very boldly.
Standing beside him, the young man’s hand is also holding a lotus leaf wrapped things, at this time is also being sent to their own mouth, looking at his own sister, proudly saying: “That…your brother, I, when I have lied to you?”
The girl doll who was eating looked at him with slanted eyes, the contempt in her eyes was self-evident.
The young man looking at his family’s mongrel king is also very helpless, originally did not want to take her out of the door, who knows that today no one is at home to watch her, if no matter still do not know their own those treasures will be scourged into what kind of. He was also very lucky to run into the stall of Tang Xiaobao, so he felt even more happy, as long as they are delicious food, the family of the devil, still quite good to fool.
The two of them served their own portions, stood by the side eating very happily, completely ignoring the eyes of people coming and going. It just seems to be because of this, to make Tang Xiao Bao’s business better, if it is a little radical thinking, it is estimated that they are Tang Xiao Bao invited trust, but also so dedicated.
After eating the last, two people’s stomachs are a bit bloated, but also want to go to buy more, but not yet walking past, yet he sees the very familiar figure’s face walking past.
The girl doll first ran over and hugged her cousin’s leg, appearing very intimate, “Cousin, you’re here.”
“Well. I didn’t expect you guys to be here as well.” Embracing his own little cousin, Li Xiao is still a bit happy. Knowing that she wouldn’t come alone, he looked at him and saw his cousin not far away.
When she saw her cousin, Li Shu knew what he was doing here, pointing to a place where there was a queue to buy something, she said to her cousin, “This time, the small boss has invented a new food, if cousin is also here to buy, you have to hurry up, or else it will be sold out in a while.”
“Is it delicious?” Li Xiao looked at his cousins who were standing in front of him, only to see both of them nodded together, when he was about to hand over Li Qin, then striding towards that stall.
Looking at his cousin’s dashing back, the two standing there were very envious, because they couldn’t eat any more, if they could still eat, they would definitely go and buy another one back. However, the food is made of glutinous rice, already a little satiated, plus the two bought three copies, all finished, really can not eat. Even if they buy it back, it won’t taste good when it’s cold, that’s why they don’t buy it back, they just have to buy the ready-made every time.
While sighing at today’s booming business, he quickly took out the donkey rolls ( aka Fried chop rice cake; the name comes from the appearance of the dish, which resembles a donkey rolling in yellow dirt (soybean flour)), from the steamer basket and handed them to the customer.
“I want three.” Tang Xiaobao, who was working together with Green Lotus to get things ready, heard a familiar voice, and once he lifted his head, he realised that it was also a very familiar person, so he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. However, thinking about his recent ugly disguise to prevent others from recognising him, he felt relieved for a while.
However, when handing the things to Li Xiao, he still couldn’t help but tell him, “Eat this while it’s hot, if it gets cold, it won’t have any flavour.”
Hearing Tang Xiaobao’s words, Li Xiao nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and then when he gave the money, he looked at Tang Xiaobao’s face, and still had a feeling of familiarity, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Little boss, haven’t we seen each other where before?”
Hearing what Li Xiao said, Tang Xiaobao quickly shook his head and denied, “Didn’t we just see each other when we were shopping? Don’t we know each other?”
Hearing Tang Xiaobao’s words, Li Xiao felt that he was too suspicious, and quickly apologised, and then took his things and left. But when he came to the side of Li Shu’s siblings with his things, he still felt a little strange, and turned his head to look at them, and when he got farther away, he seemed to be a bit like the wife of the young master of the Ji family. In a flash of lightning, he figured it out, and then smiled.
“Cousin, what’s wrong?” Looking at his own cousin who was staring at that small stall and smiling very strangely, Li Qin asked with a crooked head.
Li Xiao stretched out a free hand, touched his little cousin’s head, smiled and said, “Nothing, cousin I just remembered something and found it a bit funny.”
“Oh.” Hearing her cousin’s (older male patrilineal cousin) reply, Li Qin nodded her head in a seemingly understanding manner, but still had a confused look on her face.
Afterwards, the three of them left, only when they turned around to leave. Li Xiao once again turned his head to look at Tang Xiaobao, who was helping the customers to load things with a smile on his face, and then he looked at the face that pretended to be a passerby but appeared three times from a distance, obviously this person was well protected.
“Cousin, eat it, it’s delicious.” Looking at his own male cousin holding something in his hand without moving, Li Qin who was standing at the side was very anxious.
“Good.” Picking up one and taking a bite, it was really very tasty.
