Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 165 The train going south

Xu Huizhi once again experienced her sister's joy and pain, and also understood why her sister agreed to be her little wife.

Most people can use this for a short period of time, but if it happens every day for many years, no matter how good your body is, it won't be able to bear it.

Xu Huizhi gritted her teeth and persisted, but soon passed out gorgeously, and then she woke up in a daze and seemed to have fainted again.

Going back and forth like this, Xu Huizhi fainted countless times. After waking up, she was still passively defensive, but she had already lost her armor and lost her strength.

At dawn the next day, Xu Huizhi ran back to her room shyly. In this way, on the surface, everyone slept separately, which gave them a fig leaf psychologically.

The three of them had a tacit understanding on this matter and never talked about it. Every night, He Yuzhu put Xu Huizhen to sleep, and then went to the east wing to sleep alone.

Xu Huizhi always waited for a while before coming to serve He Yuzhu, and then returned to her room at dawn.

Although the two were closer than a couple at night, on the surface they were still brother-in-law and sister-in-law, maintaining a relationship that was neither far nor close.

Time passed by, Chen Xueru and Elena settled the silk matter, and of course a third party, He Yuzhu, came in. After making an agreement, Chen Xueru bought a sleeper ticket for the southbound train.

When Chen Xueru showed the train tickets to He Yuzhu, he asked in surprise: "Why did you buy 4 tickets between the two of us?"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes: "Of course you have to buy 4. This is a warehouse. You can't have two outsiders sleeping next to you. How embarrassing will it be?"

"Okay, that's what you said."

He Yuzhu had never sat in a soft sleeper in his entire life. He never thought that in 55 years, he would still be qualified to sleep in a soft sleeper.

After confirming to leave early the next day, He Yuzhu returned home and told Huizhen about the business trip. Xu Huizhen was still a little reluctant to leave.

"Brother Zhuzi, I haven't been separated from you for more than two days in such a long time."

He Yuzhu stepped forward and took her into his arms: "Yes, I still feel a little reluctant to let you go."

The two of them were nibbling at Niwai when Huizhi suddenly rushed in. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he was stunned.

When Xu Huizhen heard the noise, she opened her eyes first, then struggled to get out of He Yuzhu's arms, pretending to be calm and asked: "Huizhi, what's going on?"

Only then did Xu Huizhi react and said with a blushing face: "That Mr. Li has sent another painting."

He Yuzhu coughed and went out as if nothing had happened. Xu Huizhen smiled and shouted, "How come you didn't know how to knock on the door when you came in?"

Xu Huizhi said sarcastically: "Sister, I didn't expect you and your brother-in-law to kiss each other in broad daylight."

"Okay, just say everything outside." Xu Hui really thought, it's not like you haven't been kissed before.

"There's no one else." Xu Huizhi muttered.

This time Li Keran sent more than ten paintings, which made He Yuzhu very happy. After paying according to the list, he gave him a big red envelope as usual.

The next day, Chen Xueru waited and waited, and finally a rickshaw arrived. Then He Yuzhu, who was a little tired, came down to help load the luggage into the car, and the two of them rushed to the train station together.

Halfway through, Chen Xueru asked curiously: "Why don't you have any energy?"

Yesterday was the last night. He Yuzhu finally persuaded Xu Huizhen, and the two played without shame or impatience for half the night. In the end, Xu Huizhen lost all her strength, and then went to the east wing again.

Huizhi, who had just become a woman, also opened her heart and pestered He Yuzhu to talk about how she admired this brother-in-law. He Yuzhu was so moved that on a whim, the two fought until dawn.

When I returned to the master bedroom, I talked to Huizhen for a while. I was reminded and ordered by my wife, and I didn't sleep a wink the whole night.

Now Chen Xueru asked, she couldn't say that she and her two wives spent the whole night without even closing their eyes.

All I can say is: "I've never been on a train before, and I went south with you last night. I was so happy that I didn't close my eyes all night long."

"Really? I'm so happy. I'm also very happy this time to play with you."

Chen Xueru was very excited, thinking that He Yuzhu wanted to stay with her for many days. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep, holding his arm and chattering.

Soon we arrived at the train station outside Zhengyangmen. At this time, just like in later generations, we first waited for the train, then checked in and boarded the train in advance.

The soft sleeper is a high-end one. There are 4 beds in a room, and there is a single door that can be locked from the inside. There is a curtain behind the small glass. As long as it is closed, the room will be a closed small room.

After putting down his luggage, He Yuzhu hugged Chen Xueru into his arms, gave him a long kiss, and then fell on the bed, falling asleep in just a few minutes.

Chen Xueru said angrily: "Did you steal someone in the middle of the night?"

However, he tucked the quilt in gently, secretly regretting that this was a single bed, so he couldn't sleep in He Yuzhu's arms.

Since he and He Yuzhu got together, in order to avoid suspicion, He Yuzhu always took time to meet Chen Xueru during the day. Chen Xueru was alone and sleepless every day, and had no chance to sleep in the same bed at night.

Then he took advantage of this opportunity and invited He Yuzhu to accompany him south to purchase goods. He just wanted to stay and fly together with He Yuzhu and spend a honeymoon.

When He Yuzhu woke up and looked at his watch, it was already afternoon. Chen Xueru, who was lying on the other side to recuperate, suddenly became energetic and came directly to lie in He Yuzhu's bed.

Unfortunately, the bed was too narrow and He Yuzhu could only sleep on it. However, this was what Chen Xueru wanted, so she reached out to untie her belt.

An hour later, Chen Xueru had no energy left, but He Yuzhu, who was still full of energy, asked about going south.

When it comes to silk, everyone knows that Suzhou and Hangzhou are the main producing areas, and Chen Xueru has been purchasing goods from Gusu City before.

Chen Xueru introduced the situation here. Guanqian Street is located in the center of Suzhou's ancient city. Business in the area is prosperous and there are many famous shops, many of which are over a hundred years old.

One of the time-honored brands is the Taixiang Silk Shop, one of the four major silk shops. It is also the shop where Chen Xueru purchases goods. He has a very good personal relationship with the eldest lady of Taixiang.

"That means we just need to place an order and pick up the goods?" He Yuzhu didn't ask for details before, thinking it would be complicated.

"Yes, we have been friends for many years. In fact, just send a telegram to Sister Qingmo and she will arrange the shipment."

Chen Xueru's smile was very cunning, and He Yuzhu understood instantly that Chen Xueru just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go out with him and spend more time together.

"I didn't make it clear before."

"If I made it clear, would you still come out to me?" Chen Xueru asked.

"Of course I can!"

"That's pretty much it, so what's the difference if I say it or not?"

Life on the train is very boring. It takes three days and two nights to get from Beijing to Suzhou. It is very boring for the two of them to stay in a small room. They only eat and sleep. Of course, with a beautiful woman in their arms, they also have to do other things. . When the train finally stopped at the Gusu City Railway Station, Chen Xueru got out of the car radiantly, and He Yuzhu followed behind carrying his luggage.

"Hey, why didn't Sister Qingmo come to pick us up?"

Chen Xueru walked along the exit until outside the train station, but did not see the person picking her up.

"I thought Sister Qingmo would come to pick me up in person, but I didn't expect that she wouldn't even send a waiter."

Chen Xueru's words were a little angry, and she felt a little embarrassed in front of He Yuzhu. On the train, she swore that she and Qing Mo were best friends and would definitely come to pick her up in person. Unexpectedly, not only did she not come, but not even the store clerk. Send one.

He Yuzhu advised: "Perhaps she has forgotten something temporarily, so let's go to Guanqian Street to find her first."

Chen Xueru looked a little unhappy and muttered: "Let's not go to the Taixiang yet. Let's go to the hotel. I want to take a shower."

Although I slept in a soft sleeper on the train, I had no chance to take a shower during these two nights, so I could only wipe it with warm water.

Chen Xueru always felt like there were traces of Yuzhu left on her body if she didn't wipe them clean. It was sticky and made her body feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's take a bath and rest for a night before restocking, and then go out for some fun."

There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Since I have been here once, of course I have to spend a few more days. This is the first time He Yuzhu has returned to Gusu City.

After hailing a rickshaw, the two of them went to the Sihai Hotel on Guanqian Street and opened an upper room. After entering, He Yuzhu carried Chen Xueru into the bathroom.

It took two hours to take this bath. Then He Yuzhu asked: "Is there anything delicious here?"

When a chef comes to another place, the first thing that comes to his mind is to taste the local food.

"Yes, I've been here twice before and you went to eat "Lu Gao Jian Hoof", Subang cuisine from Songhelou, raw Chunyang ham, and tribute rice dumplings."

"Okay, let's go have a big meal first and then get down to business tomorrow."

They all came to Guanqian Street, and they were not in a hurry to see Ye Qingmo. The two of them quickly arrived at Songhe Tower.

Songhe Tower. It is the time-honored brand with the highest reputation among the Subang restaurants in Suzhou. It was founded in the second year of Qianlong (1737). It was originally a small noodle shop, but later added Suzhou-style dishes. It pays attention to the selection of ingredients, knife skills and heat, and gives full play to the characteristics of stewing, braising, roasting and simmering, so that each dish has excellent color, aroma, taste and shape. It is said that Emperor Qianlong tasted "squirrel fish" in this shop during his three visits to the south of the Yangtze River. Its main famous dishes include "White Sauce Yuancai", "Three Shrimp Tofu", "Honey Sauce Fire Recipe", etc. Among them, the brand dish "Squirrel Mandarin Fish" is the favorite of diners.

The food produced by this century-old restaurant is perfect. After He Yuzhu tasted all the signature dishes, he secretly reviewed them in his mind.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?" Chen Xueru asked when she saw that he was silent.

"It's delicious. I'm thinking about how to make these dishes."

"What? Do you still have this ability? Can you make it after just eating it once?"

"Isn't this a very simple thing? Just like a tailor can cut out a new style of clothing after seeing it. This is the same reason."

"That's nonsense. I don't believe it. The cooking techniques are all unique. You just taste it and you know it?"

"What if I have this ability?"

"I don't believe it, don't try to lie to me." Chen Xueru insisted that she was not an ordinary girl who had never seen the world. She had never heard of anyone making unique delicious food just by trying it.

He Yuzhu smiled, and then said: "Then if I can do it, you will promise what I said tonight."

Chen Xueru blushed and rolled her eyes. When taking a shower just now, He Yuzhu made a request that was a bit too much for her, so she refused directly.

I didn't expect to be waiting for myself here, so I thought about it and asked, "Have you done this with her before?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Of course."

"Okay, I promise you, as long as you can do it when you go back."

Chen Xueru also regretted it after blurting it out. That knowledge was really too shameful, so what if it was actually done?

He Yuzhu just smiled and confirmed the matter. After tasting the delicious food, he went to the Xuanmiao Temple of the ancient temple.

Guanqian Street, as the name suggests, is because there is an ancient temple called Xuanmiao Temple here, and it is also because of this temple that the street got its name.

Guanqian Street in Gusu City is also the most popular shopping and food paradise for tourists. From time-honored snack bars to various specialty shops, there is everything here.

Similar to Yandai Xiejie in Beijing, it is also a famous street.

But business was still important. The two of them got up early the next day and tidied up before visiting the Taixiang Silk Shop.

Taixiang Hao, founded in the ninth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1870), is the only "Chinese time-honored brand" enterprise in the Suzhou silk industry.

Although there are not many records about the founding date of Taixiang Hao, this time-honored brand has already become well-known among its peers. When it comes to Taixiang Hao, it is almost a household name. There is also a widely circulated saying in Suzhou that "eat at Songhe Tower, catch Taixiang Hao".

Of course, the Taixiang No. 1 has not yet entered into a public-private partnership, and it still belongs to the Ye family.

When He Yuzhu walked into the Taixiang, he saw that it was already crowded with people, all of whom were choosing various fabrics.

Mainly silk and satin, but also some other fabrics, with many colors and styles, bustling with business, much better than Chen Xueru's silk shop.

Chen Xueru stopped a waiter and said, "Please tell me, I am Chen Xueru from Qianmen of Beijing, and I want to see your eldest lady."

The waiter said: "It turns out to be Miss Chen. What a coincidence. The eldest lady is currently ill, and it is the eldest young master who is in charge of the work."

"Sister Qingmo is sick? What is it?" Chen Xueru asked quickly.

"Yes, the eldest lady has been sick for many days. The young master said it was plague, so he sent the eldest lady to an old house in the country to recover."

"That's it. She actually contracted the plague. Sister Qingmo is really unlucky. Let me report first and I'll see the eldest young master."

"Okay, please follow me."

The waiter took the two of them to the waiting room, served them two cups of fragrant tea, and then left to report.

Chen Xueru said with emotion: "I didn't expect Sister Qingmo to be so unlucky. Her husband died the year before last, and she didn't leave a son or a daughter. She finally got over the pain, and then she contracted the plague again."

"Yeah, I didn't expect to catch the plague. The fatality rate of this disease is very high."
