Chapter 8 Family Banquet
  "It doesn't matter, come as soon as you come. It's just a matter of filling a pair of chopsticks, so just sit down!"

Although Mrs. Xu didn't pay much attention to her concubine's grandchildren, she would not be harsh on her. She comforted everyone and asked everyone to prepare to wash their hands and sit down at the table.
  As the maids came to the crowd carrying basins of brass washbasins,
  Xu Wenhui and others began to clean their hands one after another. They first wet their hands with water, then picked up a piece of white paste next to the brass washbasin and rubbed it on their hands.

After a while, my hands were covered with foam, and the room was filled with the fragrance of jasmine.
  Everyone was used to it, but Xu Wanling had never seen it before. She was a little curious and sniffed twice unnaturally with her small nose.
  Seeing this, Xu Wanping chuckled and said:
  "Sister Ling, haven't you ever used it? This is something produced in our village. Let's use it as soap! Look at this bubble. How does it feel? Is it fun? Let me tell you, this is not only fun, it's also clean! "

Xu Wanping boasted proudly while giving a demonstration to Xu Wanling.

After all, Xu Wanling is still a child. Seeing the foam on Xu Wanping's hands was already very novel. When she heard that it was the famous soap, her little eyes widened and shone brightly! He quickly followed Xu Wanping's example, put soap on it, and rubbed his little hands again and again!

Xu Wanrong glanced at the showy sister-in-law fondly, and then she also smiled and said:

"This soap is indeed a good thing. Ever since I started using it, I can't live without it. If I don't use it, I always feel as if it's not clean!"

"Yes, yes!" Xu Wenzhao and Xu Wenpin nodded in agreement!
  Mrs. Xu's eyes widened with laughter when she saw this. In this soap business, Xu Wenhui had given her a lot of filial piety. This alone earned her a thousand taels of silver a month!

You must know that in the past few years, the deficit in the collection of the princes' mansions was not enough. Although the Yongyi Hou family had to marry the daughter of a salt merchant to make up for the shortfall, it was not unavoidable. Even the size of her early dowry was used. completely clean,

In addition, in order to maintain the dignity of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion has spent extravagantly, and the Hou Mansion has not yet fully recovered. Now that Xu Wenhui is a stakeholder, she feels that her confidence in speaking has increased a lot!

Wang Ruoyun on the side saw everyone complimenting Xu Wenhui, and suddenly felt a little displeased.

Although the soap was indeed good, it did not do her any good, so she said angrily:
  "Huh, Ping Yatou, what you said is wrong. The things that are sold in our village are made by your eldest brother in his own village, and they have nothing to do with others like us!
  By the way, sister-in-law, you hold the cards in our house. Do we have to spend money to buy soap in our house?
  Ouch, I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone when I go out! "

Xu Wanping looked at her eldest sister Xu Wanrong a little confused, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, isn't the eldest brother's belongings to our family? Why does aunty say it's not?"

Xu Wanrong saw that the younger Xu Wanling was somewhat aware that her biological sister was still so confused. She sighed helplessly and touched Xu Wanping's little head. Xu Wanrong also replied in a low voice:

"That is the elder brother's own Zhuangzi, and it does not belong to the kilometer!" Seeing that Xu Wanping still didn't understand, Xu Wanrong was about to explain. Seeing that her mother Liang Churan was instigated to speak, Xu Wanrong said quickly:

"Okay, I'll explain to you later, you and Sister Ling play first!"

After finishing speaking, when Liang Churan nodded and was about to speak, he took over the conversation loudly and said:

"Auntie, it's actually my mother who insists on paying my eldest brother!"

"Fart!" Wang Ruoyun cursed inwardly as soon as he heard this. Who does Liang Churan think she doesn't know? Could she have such good intentions?
  Seeing that everyone was looking over, Xu Wanrong continued to explain:
  "It's like this. Mother pays for the soap not only for my eldest brother, but also for the rules in our house. There is no rule without rules. The same goes for the purchase in the house. If I don't pay for the soap I bought from my eldest brother today. Money, don’t you have to pay to buy the second brother’s pastry shop tomorrow?
  If this continues, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules? "

"Rong'er is right! It's rare for you to have such knowledge at such a young age!" Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly after hearing this!
  Even Xu Wenhui nodded slightly after hearing this. Otherwise, Xu Wanrong, a sister, is a rare shrewd person. With her explanation, she not only found a good reason for Xu Wenhui and curried favor with him, but also helped Liang Churan establish a selfless image!
  Liang Churan is soft-tempered and has no independent opinions, but she is not a fool either. She is also jealous of the soap business and has many overt and covert activities. She almost fell for Wang Ruoyun's advice just now and went into battle with her. When she heard the old lady praising Xu Wanrong, He knew what the old lady was thinking, so he also echoed:
  "Yes, yes, that's what I think about it. Our Houfu family has a great cause, and everything must be done according to the rules! If there are no rules, how can we do it!"

Talking about me, he nodded and smiled at the old lady at the head and Xu Wenhui opposite!

When Xu Wenhui saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head. His cheap stepmother was just a vase.

If it weren't for his good family, Xu Yaozu would like this,
  Whether she can be the mistress of the Xu family is still a matter of debate. However, Xu Wenhui couldn’t pretend not to hear what her stepmother said. After all, she was an elder and couldn’t ignore it, so she nodded and responded in a pretentious manner:
  "Thank you madam for your understanding!"

When Wang Ruoyun saw that she was alone, she quickly pretended to be confused and said with a smile:
  "Oh, I thought it was simple. It turns out that's the case. Look, my sister-in-law is my sister-in-law. I can't blame my mother for letting you take care of the house!"

Wang Ruoyun appeared to be submissive on the surface, but in fact, he felt more uncomfortable inside than if he had stabbed her.
  In fact, if the soap was like that ordinary shop with pastries and groceries, she wouldn't be jealous.
  The key point is that the soap business is so good that even the prince's mansion has a quota for delivery every month. You can imagine how scarce it is. The normal price is only one or two silver for a small piece as big as your palm.
  The wealthy businessmen in the private sector have made purchases several times over.

She is not an outsider, she is her biological second aunt. As long as Xu Wenhui raises his hand and shows his second aunt a little bit, there will be endless amounts of money.

But now she doesn't dare to be rude anymore. The old lady was saving her face just now. If she continues to be arrogant, she will be embarrassed in front of the children!

After Wang Ruoyun died down,
  The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
  The ancients were very particular about not talking when eating or sleeping, but that was the main banquet.

This is an ordinary small family banquet, so it doesn’t have to be so particular.
  Xu Wanping was a little confused, she didn't see anything, she just kept showing off to Xu Wanling.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I? Grandma's small kitchen here cooks the best food. Let me tell you, the cooks here are specially found by my elder brother from all over the country! They can cook all kinds of dishes!"

"Hey, this is it. This is the sweet and sour short ribs. It's my favorite. You can't eat it outside. Please try it!"

"And this one, this fried river shrimp is also delicious. It's so fragrant. Try it!"

"And this, and this, steamed duck soup with fermented rice wine is also good!"
