453 The one who used to be him (1 more)
Xu Ling'er was called by Wen's family, and after hearing Wen Zhong's words, she started crying immediately, "I don't agree, I don't agree with whatever I say."
She wants to have a good appearance and looks. Even if she is driven out of the Xu family, her surname is still Xu, and she has a close relationship with the Xu family. Why should she marry someone she doesn't know how to do?
Wen Zhong frowned slightly and said sharply, "Don't think about going back to the Xu family. Because of your affairs, your grandmother and grandfather were implicated. Even the old man's birthday today did not let them come forward. Moreover, there are also people today speculating why you mother and daughter did not show up. I believe that in two or three days, people in the capital will know about you being kicked out of the Xu family. Not to mention young talents like Zheng Qian, even widowers may not marry you. If you don't want to live a miserable life in the rest of your life, just follow your uncle's words to get engaged to Zheng Qian."
Xu Ling'er burst into tears.
Wen then cried and begged, "Brother, you go back first, and I will persuade her."
Wen Zhong stood up, "It's better to hurry up. Duke Qi's choice is more than Ling'er."
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked outside to instruct his servants, "Look, they are not allowed to go out without my permission!"
Inside the house, Xu Ling'er cried for a long time. She didn't understand why things had come to this point. She obviously just wanted to find a husband who suited her, but she was not only kicked out of the Xu family, but also wanted to marry someone she didn't like.
"Ling'er..."
Wen choked and persuaded, "Mom knows you are unwilling to give up, but at this point there is no other choice. Listen to your mother, just agree. At least you can get to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. If there is anything in the future, you can save your life."
Xu Ling'er was immersed in her own pain and did not understand what she meant. She stood up and staggered out, "I'm going to find my great-grandfather. I'm going to beg him, and my great-grandfather won't ignore me."
"Ling'er!"
Wen ran out and hugged her, "Didn't you hear your uncle's words just now? Even the eldest Mr. was implicated for your sake. Your great-grandfather would not forgive you."
"How could it be? How could it be?"
Xu Ling'er murmured, her body falling down weakly.
Wen's tears surged like a spring.
...
The birthday cake spread quickly like the wind, and in just half a day it spread throughout the streets and alleys in Beijing, even those who walked were talking about it.
The next day, before Huang Gao and his wife got up, they heard the sound faintly. They thought someone was coming to steal things. Huang was so shocked that they hurriedly got up and put on their clothes. They went to call the people in the yard together, gathered together, and handed them all, and quietly moved them to the door, looking out through the crack of the door. They were all black and covered in people, talking in groups of three or three, not like the person who came to steal.
Huang Gao turned around in confusion, and everyone behind her was also confused.
A sudden flash of inspiration in Huang Gao's wife's mind, "They aren't here to buy cakes, are they?"
"No, no..."
Huangcai swallowed.
"You'll know if you open the door and ask."
Huang Gao's wife put the wooden stick in her hand aside, squeezed out the yellow cake, opened the door, and before she could ask loudly, everyone outside rushed towards her, waving silver notes in her hand, "I want to order a birthday cake."
“I want to order one.”
"Me too……"
...
As soon as Xiao Yao got up, Qing'er entered the room and whispered a few words in her ear. Xiao Yao looked happy, "Hurry up, wash me up and let's go over and take a look."
Song Wanyue also received the news that she didn't have time to eat breakfast. She came over with Gu Yi in a carriage. From a distance, she saw that the roads here were blocked, and everyone shouted with silver notes.
The two of them were also shocked and expected that the cake would be popular, but they did not expect it would be so popular. In this case, they would make money without selling other pastries within half a year.
The two got off the carriage and took great effort to squeeze through the crowd and enter the yard.
"This won't work. If you squeeze it down, something will happen. Xiao Si, go and call the people in the yard over there to maintain order."
Xiao Si left in response.
Song Wanyue went into the pastry shop and walked out, moved a chair in the house and stood up, and said, "Everyone, listen to me!"
The crowded people calmed down.
Huang Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead. No matter what he said just now, people didn't listen and kept squeezing forward. He was really afraid that the door would be crushed by these people.
"Everyone, listen to me. I need to make cakes today, and go to the left.
More than a dozen people came over.
"Tomorrow, line up next to them."
"The next day, I'll queue up."
...
The chaotic people gradually became orderly.
"Everyone knows that birthday cakes need to be booked. For these three days, please come and pay the deposit in turn. Come and go to the cake according to the time we said. As for those after these three days, please go back first and book three days in advance according to the date. Of course, there are other pastries in our store, such as Xue Meiniang; for example, a small cake that can be eaten by one or two people. If you want to buy it, you can queue up here."
When Xiao Yao arrived, the place was already in order.
Looking at the long queue, she was so happy.
"Yue'er, it's better for your idea, our fame will be opened up in an instant."
"It was my great-grandfather who lived a good birthday."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the old man's birthday that he celebrated well."
...
Song Lin lived in Xu's house for a few days and felt very uncomfortable. He was illiterate and could not play chess. Except for Xu, he had nothing to say to others. Song Wanyue and Gu Yi were busy every day and didn't care about him. He wanted to ask Xu when he would go back, but he didn't dare to speak. People were blinded by seeing him.
Meng saw it and said to Xu, "The weather is good today, and there is nothing to do here. Take Song Lin to the pastry shop."
Xu nodded, "Okay, we may not come back at noon, mother, don't wait for us to have a meal."
"Okay, go."
When Xu returned to the yard and said that, Song Lin was immediately happy and did not let Xu change his clothes. He couldn't wait to urge her to leave the house.
After getting on the carriage, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe in the mansion these days, but he was so suffocated.
Xu saw it and smiled with pursed his lips.
Song Lin also opened his mouth, wanting to ask them when they would go back, but he swallowed it back when he was right.
After finally returning home, Xu naturally had to stay for a while. At worst, he and Yue'er would go back first. It would not be too late to wait until Xu remembered everything before going back.
A carriage passed by their carriage and parked at the door of Xu Mansion.
Xu Bo sent Xu and Song Lin out, and was turning back when he heard the sound of a carriage and stopped and turned around. He saw the person sitting upright on the horse's back and jumped heavily between his eyebrows.
