The weather is not good, and it happens to snow on the day of the banquet.

Qingshu looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky and said with some concern: "Jingen, do you think Lord Zheng and Lord Zhou will come again?"

"They will definitely come, but I don't know if they will bring Jia Xiao here."

Qingshu was a little disappointed: "I still think that someone can talk and chat with me today!"

Fu Jingen chuckled and said, "This is not easy. I will invite them to come when the weather is better. It's still early, let's go in and read a book!"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "I think there are children here today. I told Aman to prepare ingredients and make some pastries for the children to eat!"

Although I don’t know if it will come, I must make it after all the ingredients have been soaked.

Seeing Qingshu entering the kitchen, Fu Jingen regretted treating her.

After about half an hour, Zheng Daiming brought his wife Xu. Xu was wearing a red embroidered long coat with peonies, and a brocade cloak on the outside. He was combed with a flowing cloud bun and a pair of happy and wishful golden hairpins. He had a round face and a phoenix-like eyes, fair skin, and looked easy to get along with.

Qingshu walked up and said, "Sister-in-law, please sit in the inner room."

Xu also held Qingshu's hand and said with a smile: "I have been listening to my husband praises my brother and sister for his virtuousness. Today I finally have the honor to meet my brother and sister."

The two walked in hand in hand.

Fu Jingen and Zheng Mingdae looked at each other and followed them in with a smile.

After entering the room, Xu took off his cloak, then picked up the pumpkin stove in his hand and put it on his face.

After warming for a while, Xu said embarrassedly: "It's so cold here in the capital. I feel even the air I sucked in is cold. If it weren't for your brother and sister, you wouldn't want to go out in such a world."

Qingshu smiled and said, "Yes! I remember when I first arrived in the capital, I was so cold that I could not hide in my bed all day long. Several of my classmates had frostbite."

Xu smiled and said, "I heard from my husband that you came to Jinling to study at the age of six. Unfortunately, I had already graduated from Jinling Girls' School at that time, otherwise we would have known each other long ago."

Zheng Daiming is nine years older than Fu Jingen, and Xu is two years older than Zheng Daiming. However, even though the age difference is a bit large, Qingshu is still very good at chatting with her.

Seeing that they were having a good chat, Fu Jingen and Zheng Daiming said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the study."

Qingshu and Fu Jingen each have their own study rooms, but Fu Jingen usually goes to Qingshu's study room. Now, naturally, he took Zheng Daiming to his study room.

The two of them had a short conversation, and Xu said, "It's better to put the floor heating on it, and my whole body is warm. Unlike my house, I still feel cold after burning two basins of charcoal fires. I feel more comfortable only when I lie on the kang."

Qingshu heard this and said, "Sister-in-law, then wait for the spring to get you and ask someone to put on the floor heating!"

Xu shook his head and said, "The house is rented, not bought. Please consider building floor heating when you buy a suitable house!"

Speaking of this, Xu said helplessly: "The things in the capital are too expensive. The prices of fish, shrimp, rice and flour are 50% or 60% more expensive than those in Jiangnan, and the charcoal is more than twice as expensive as in Jiangnan."

Qingshu was deeply touched by this: "Yes! The monthly expenses here are enough for Jinling to eat and use in two or three months. But there is no way, it is expensive and it has to be used!"

Speaking of this, Xu said, "My brother and sister, I heard that you have opened several shops to make money. I also want to do something to make money to supplement the household income, but I don't have any good ideas."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Actually, I am not good at doing business. My braised meat restaurant mainly relies on braised meat recipes. This thing is not available, so it is considered an exclusive business."

It is not that easy to do business in Beijing. You can tell from Feng Xiaoyu that she had opened several shops and had discounted her money. Now she makes so much money every year, because her dye formula is unique, and the other is that Jingshu is well-managed. Otherwise, she will not make much money by relying solely on the formula.

Xu was a little disappointed, but she also knew that Qingshu didn't lie: "I was also shocked by the huge expenses at home. I was a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment. I hope you don't mind my brother and sister."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No. Sister-in-law, your family has so many people, it is normal for you to be very expensive and not worry about your investment. But sister-in-law, don't worry. When Lord Zheng stays in Hanlin Academy for three years, he will get better then."

Seeing that Qingshu really didn't mind her family's shortcomings, Xu said, "My brother and sister, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Every time I see my three sons, I'm so worried. Food and clothing expenses are a expense, and study is another expense. There is no surplus in the family if only two items are available. But when they get older, they will have a big sum at that time. Cough, as long as I think of these, my white hair will come out."

Xu and Zheng Daiming have a good relationship. They have given birth to three sons and one daughter. The youngest daughter is only four years old this year. They were originally going to bring her here today, but they were afraid of the child being frozen when it snowed.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about not being able to marry a good wife as long as the children work hard and have a future. My husband was living a tight life at that time, but my grandmother thought he worked hard and had a future success in the future, so she fell in love with him at a glance."

"My University is very talented. Sister-in-law, you are very smart and smart. The children you teach will definitely be very good. As long as the child is excellent and has a good future, it is impossible for the woman to take the initiative to come to the door to say hello!"

She had never seen several children from the Zheng family, but she heard Fu Jingen praise Zheng Daiming. Being able to get Jingen to praise him shows that the other party has a good character. Parents have good character, so their children are generally similar.

Qingshu's words were very convincing, because when she got engaged to Fu Jingen, Fu Jingen was just a poor person.

Xu laughed when he heard this: "Then I will lend you auspicious words."

Seeing the peonies embroidered on Qingshu's handkerchief, Xu asked, "Sister-in-law, did you embroider this peony by yourself?"

Xu's female Hong is also very outstanding. When they saw Qingshu nodding, they talked about embroidery.

Just as they were having a good chat, the maid outside reported that Zhou Peiye was here.

When Zhou Peiye saw Qingshu, he said apologetically: "Because it is snowing, the child is too young and afraid of catching a cold, so he dare not come. Please forgive me for your brother and sister."

Qingshu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's really not suitable to bring out such a cold day for children. When the spring weather is good, I'll ask my sister-in-law to come to the house to play."

Lunch is separated by men and women.

When Xu saw a table of dishes, he couldn't help but complain: "We two can eat so much, you're a waste of it."

Qingshu smiled and said, "It's okay, eat as much as you can."
