Domineering space queen

Chapter 119 Mrs. Chen is here

Shutong went home normally and had a sumptuous dinner.

The housekeeper, Li Han, came over and reported to her that the preparations for the wine shop were ready, and they were waiting for an auspicious day to start work.Seeing what that means, I still want Shutong, the boss, to come out and take charge.

Shutong waved his hand, emphasizing again that he didn't want to care about these trivial matters, and just waited to drink the brewed wine, Li Han had no choice but to back down.

A few days later, Li Han and Zhang Dewen chose an auspicious day, and the winery opened.

The firecrackers were fired, the scene was lively, and everyone worked enthusiastically.

Shutong just took the time to come over and walk around, knowing that winemaking needs to wait, the older the wine, the more time it takes to settle, so he couldn't help but slap his mouth.

Fortunately, there are reserves in the warehouse at home, and there is no shortage of wine for the time being.

Strolling home, he heard Cuiyun come to report a visitor.

Looking up, it was an acquaintance.

I saw a woman in Tsing Yi pulling a little girl, standing by the door a little nervously.

Shutong smiled, "Miss Chen, it's you? Come in and sit down."

Seeing Shutong's smiling face, Mrs. Chen eased her nervousness and entered the small courtyard.

"Miss Xiaoyue, I take the liberty to come and interrupt you!"

Shutong asked her to sit down, and Cuiyun brought her some tea.

"What kind words are you talking about? I'm glad you can come. I haven't eaten the plum cake you made for a long time. I've been thinking about it."

Mrs. Chen smiled, and brought up the basket that was slung by her feet.

"Knowing that the girl likes my dim sum, I specially made some more for you to try."

He took out a large bag from the basket, opened the oilcloth, and lifted a layer of fine white cloth to reveal the beautiful pastries inside.

Shutong was overjoyed, and picked up one to eat bluntly, "It's still as delicious, Mrs. Chen is too polite, and brought me so many, thank you."

Seeing that she was still satisfied with her craftsmanship, Mrs. Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "The girl is the savior of our mother and daughter, as it should be!"

Shutong ate seven or eight pieces of plum cake, and Gu came out of the room. "Ah, there is a visitor at home, Xiaoyue, this is...?"

Seeing an old woman with gray hair, Mrs. Chen guessed it was Xiaoyue's elder, and she stood up nervously thinking of the purpose of her trip.

Somewhat embarrassed, he said: "Hello, old lady! The slave family is from Ancheng. Miss Xiaoyue once saved the lives of my mother and daughter, and I came to thank you specially."

Shutong introduced them, "Ms. Chen, this is my grandma. Grandma, this is Mrs. Chen. The plum cake she made is very delicious. You see, she specially brought such a big bag for me."

Seeing this young daughter-in-law's handsome features, Gu Shi also had a good impression of her.

He waved his hand, "You're welcome when you get home, just sit down."

Looking at the little girl beside Mrs. Chen's legs, she smiled and said, "This is your daughter, she looks so handsome."

Mrs. Chen quickly pulled her daughter out, "This is my daughter, Sister Fang, call someone quickly. This is my mother-in-law, this is my sister, it is my sister who saved us!"

Sitting down again, Shutong saw that Sister Fang's big eyes glanced at the plum cake on the table from time to time, and couldn't guess what she meant.

He waved at her, "Sister Fang, do you want to eat too, come over and let's eat together, your mother's cooking skills are really good."

Sister Fang was a little startled, she turned her head and buried her face behind Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen was a little embarrassed, and smiled apologetically: "This child is timid."

Seeing that Sister Fang was younger than Wang'er, the cowherd at home, Shutong waved her hand indifferently.

I remember that when she left, she handed Captain Xu and Marquis Jinxiang to Hengxuan. He should have mastered Ancheng. I don't know what's going on now?
He opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Chen, how is the situation in Ancheng now? Who is in charge of the Duwei's Mansion?"

Mrs. Chen paused with a smile and sighed: "Since the girl left, there has been a lot of turmoil in the city. Soldiers patrol the streets every day, and those of us who do small businesses dare not go out. It took a long time before we heard It is said that the prince of Zhennan has become the captain of Ancheng."

Shutong was surprised, "Hengxuan became the captain, didn't he make himself king?"

Madam Chen's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said: "Miss, don't talk nonsense!"

Gu Shi was also taken aback, and quickly patted Shutong, "You child is really outspoken, can you also say that you can become a king? Isn't that rebellion? If it gets to that ear, it will be fine."

Shu Tong secretly rolled his eyes, Heng Xuan really wanted to rebel, but seeing that the two of them were quite frightened, they didn't insist.

He said with a smile: "The prince of Zhennan has become the captain, so there shouldn't be any bullying of the people in the city, right?"

Mrs. Chen said after a while: "The city is heavily guarded now, and there are indeed fewer things to oppress the people, but I am always a little uneasy, feeling like something big is about to happen."

She hesitated for a while, and then said: "I heard from guests that there are rebels in the north, and I don't know if there is going to be a war."

Shutong rubbed his chin, it will be a war sooner or later, Hengxuan may still wait for King Zhao to start his army first!These ancients were sloppy and unhappy in their work.

Said: "I heard that the current emperor is a fool, maybe someday there will be chaos."

Mrs. Chen frowned when she heard the words, but said nothing.

However, the Gu family sternly shouted: "Xiaoyue! The more you talk, the more you talk about it, the more important matters in the court, we ordinary people can talk about it."

Shutong curled her lips and said: "Okay, I won't talk anymore. By the way, Mrs. Chen, are you here to visit relatives?"

Mrs. Chen was a little hesitant, and sighed: "There is no one at home, where are there any relatives? Now we, mother and daughter, depend on each other."

Gu Shi looked at her sympathetically, strangely dressed so plainly, she turned out to be a little widow.

"Why, is there no one in your natal family?"

Madam Chen shook her head sadly.

Seeing her appearance, Gu sighed inwardly, orphaned and widowed, with such a long face, her life is hard.

"It's not easy for you as a young woman with a child."

Mrs. Gu's words made Mrs. Chen burst into tears. She also knew that it was not good to cry like this in someone else's house, so she quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

He hesitated and said: "Xiao, Miss Xiaoyue, I came here to..."

Seeing her hesitating and embarrassed, Shutong couldn't help asking.

"Ms. Chen! If you have something to say, just say it."

Mrs. Chen didn't know why she was so confused, she pinned her hopes on a little girl.

But this girl Xiaoyue is capable, maybe relying on her, my life will be easier.

Biting his lip, he finally said: "I, I feel uneasy living in Ancheng. I heard that there are wars everywhere outside. I'm afraid that Ancheng will fight one day!"

"I have nothing to do with myself, but Sister Fang is still young and is the only blood of my husband-in-law. I dare not let her stay in a dangerous place. After thinking about it, I want to move out of Ancheng, but there is nowhere to go. So I have a thick skin Bring the child to join Miss Xiaoyue."

Almost ashamed, she finished speaking in one breath, lowering her head, not daring to look at Shutong.

Gu Shi's expression darkened when she heard the words, she didn't know who this little widow was, how did she find Xiaoyue here without relatives or reasons, she must have some purpose!
