Chapter 206: Eavesdropping on Uncle Guangji’s confession, cousin, have you learned it?
Shen Ruyi and Qin Beiyu finished explaining everything in the shop, while Dafu and the others still had to clean up the shop because they had to wait for Aunt Dafu to finish preparing dinner in the backyard and call them back to eat before they could finish work. There were too many complicated things to do in the shop.
Shen Ruyi and Qin Beiyu walked towards the backyard because she wanted to explain something to Madam Cao. In fact, Shen Ruyi wanted to send letters to Madam Cao by carrier pigeon in the future to convey the designs of new dresses so that they could update the styles!
Shen Ruyi raised two eagles in Fulu Villa. The two eagles have been trained to deliver letters. They should also be able to carry her drawings and travel back and forth between the capital and Shunjing Prefecture!
She thought that after she returned to the capital, she would send the two eagles to follow Zhaocai and Jinbao on two trips. From then on, they would deliver messages and patterns in this way, thus saving the trouble of traveling back and forth, which was too slow!
Shen Ruyi and her cousin went to the backyard. As soon as they reached the door of the backyard, they found Chen Guangji standing in the backyard and talking to Madam Cao.
In the kitchen in the backyard, Aunt Dafu and two embroiderers were busy cooking. The aroma of food was already wafting out!
Madam Cao was standing there holding her child and talking to Chen Guangji. Shen Ruyi pulled her cousin out of the door and made a fake mouth shape!
Qian Qing and Wan Qing were frightened and quickly hid on the other side of the door, covering their mouths tightly, as if they were stealing something.
Qin Beiyu was a little stunned, but when he saw the excitement in the little girl's eyes, he knew that there might be something interesting, so he held the little girl's hand and squeezed it. The two of them exchanged glances and understood each other, and then they quietly listened to the conversation between the two people in the yard.
Chen Guangji: "Madam Cao, Chen really has something very important to tell you..."
The woman said happily, "Boss Chen, if you have something to say, please tell me now. Why don't you stay home for dinner? Aunt Dafu cooked the pork ribs and radish stew you bought for me tonight, and also two stir-fried dishes. She made a lot!"
Everyone is tired during the day, so you should have a good meal at night. Please stay here and eat."
Man: "No... Madam Cao, please don't stay here for dinner. I have something to tell you.
Madam Cao, you see, Chen is single and has not remarried for so many years. He is really lonely. Now he intends to marry a good man to accompany him.
She had always been troubled by the lack of a suitable candidate, and Madam Cao was a single woman with Xiu'er.
Madam Cao, what do you think...how about you consider Chen?
Mr. Chen has a fortune and two grown-up sons. I am not the kind of person who abuses my wife and children. You have seen what kind of person I am. Can you consider Mr. Chen?
Chen will definitely treat you and Xiu'er well. I like little girls, really! You see, I like the little county lady. I love her like my own child. I also like Xiu'er. She is at this age when she needs a father. I want to give her father's love...
Madam Cao, please consider marrying Chen. If you agree, I will ask Lady Fulu to be our matchmaker. I will marry you and Xiu'er to my family and make Xiu'er the legitimate daughter of the Chen family!"
Mrs. Cao stood there holding the child, her hair disheveled in the wind. Looking at the gentle and elegant Chen Guangji, she was really at a loss.
"My shopkeeper Chen, I actually...actually I can't...I...Xiu'er and I will embarrass you!"
Chen Guangji smiled warmly. He went over to take Xiao Xiuer, held her in his arms, and touched her forehead: "Xiuer, just tell me whether you like your uncle or not?"
Little Shen Xiuer happily hugged her uncle's neck and nodded his forehead: "I like...Xiuer likes uncle!
"Is the uncle going to be Xiu'er's father? Really? Then Xiu'er is a child with a father, right?"
Chen Guangji put his face close to the child tenderly. He turned to look at Madam Cao and said with a smile: "Madam Cao, I really like the child sincerely, and I also like... you! I want to marry you not because of your youth and beauty, but because I think you are a good person... and a real person!
If you still want to work for the little county lady in the future, you can come and work for her. The little county lady is our family’s benefactor. If you like to help her, you can always help her. But I will find someone to take care of the child and send her to school in the future. She will be the legitimate daughter of my Chen family!"
Madam Cao burst into tears: "Manager Chen... I... I don't think I'm worthy of you. I'm an abandoned woman with a child..."
Chen Guangji gently held the child and moved closer, then took out a handkerchief and gave it to Madam Cao.
"Don't cry! Don't cry, Madam Cao. I am sincere in my love for you. I am much older than you and may abandon you and your daughter sooner in the future. But I really like you now and want to marry you and your daughter as soon as possible. I don't want to waste any more time!"
Madam Cao looked at Chen Guangji. In the sunset, the man looked even more gentle and gentle like jade. His temperament was there, and his eyes were focused when he looked at people. Madam Cao was unconsciously intoxicated...
The woman thought for a while and gritted her teeth and said, "Manager Chen, can you let me think about it? I will give you a reply tomorrow evening, okay?
I want to ask the little county lady to help me make a decision. The little county lady is my adopted parent. She has a long-term vision. I am just an ignorant woman, struggling with my child and almost dying. It was the little county lady who took care of me and gave me hope for life. I hope to discuss this matter with her. "
Chen Guangji smiled and said, "Okay! That's fine! Then you go and do your own thing first. Take these silver coins and keep them with your children for future use!"
Even if you don't agree to marry me, I will take Xiu'er as my goddaughter. I have plenty of money, and my children are all grown up and have left me. I am a lonely old widower. I want to start a family, marry a good woman, and raise a good child!"
The woman was holding a stack of banknotes, which were really messy in the wind!
"No! I can't accept this money from Shopkeeper Chen. This... this amount of money must be quite a lot..."
Chen Guangji smiled and said, "Madam Cao, this is a silver note of 1,000 taels, take it! Whether you agree to marry me or not, this money is for Xiu'er! If you marry Xiu'er with someone else, I will not feel at ease. I want to give Xiu'er some money to rely on!"
Madam Cao was so moved that she couldn't control her tears. She was really attracted to this man. Although there was an age difference between her and him, if this man was really good to her, what did the age difference matter?
She gritted her teeth and said, "Well! After I discuss it with the young county lady, I will give you the news!
Xiu'er...give Xiu'er to me. It's time to eat. I'll ask someone to call Uncle Dafu in front to come back for dinner."
Chen Guangji gave the child to Madam Cao and left the yard reluctantly. As soon as he came out, he looked back hesitantly at the mother and daughter in the yard.
When I turned around again, I unexpectedly saw Qian Qing and Wan Qing standing by the wall!
Chen Guangji shuddered with fright, and when he turned around he saw Qin Beiyu and Shen Ruyi on the other side!!!
Chen Guangji...
Madam Cao asked in the courtyard, "Manager Chen, do you have anything else to do?"
Chen Guangji turned around and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay... It's okay, I just want to take a look at your yard, is it safe enough?"
Madam Cao smiled in the yard: "Thank you, it's okay... Jinsuo and Yinsuo will stay in the gatehouse at night. The two children are quite skilled in martial arts, it's really okay..."
Chen Guangji smiled awkwardly, turned around and left the backyard gate without looking back.
Seeing Chen Guangji's superb acting skills, it is really admirable! Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched, and she turned to look at her cousin. Her cousin was still in a daze watching Chen Guangji's receding back!
"Eavesdropping on Uncle Guangji's confession, cousin, have you learned it?"
