Chapter 0073 - Mutton
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, coupled with Cao Jinfeng's three months of captivity, the time came to mid-November, the weather was unusually cold this year, and after several heavy snowfalls, Cao Fu hurriedly made a batch of new cotton robes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to Mrs. Cao's instructions, the housekeeper Cao Shun specially sent a batch of cotton robes to Cao Jianniang's embroidery building.
Mrs. Cao and Master Cao have already discussed, and when the spring comes, they will send Cao Jianniang to Cao's mansion in another courtyard at the other end of the city, so as not to cause unrest at home.
Cao Jianniang was very anxious for a while, in fact, Cao Jianniang was not grounded, if she wanted to go out, there would be absolutely no problem.
Mrs. Cao just arranged for someone to guard the door when Cao Jianniang returned to the embroidery building, and at the same time, when Cao Jianniang went out, she was also accompanied by two family members, mainly to prevent Cao Jinfeng from getting into trouble again. But as soon as the embroidery building was guarded day and night, Cao Jianniang didn't want to go out in the middle of the night to deliver news.
When she was in a hurry, the housekeeper Cao Shun sent in a batch of cotton robes.
"Miss, this is a new batch of cotton robes that the old lady asked me to send in. Miss, it's freezing this winter, please don't worry too much, stay in this boudoir with peace of mind. This batch of cotton robes is the heart of the old lady, and please cherish it and pay attention to it, so as not to disappoint the old lady. Saying that, Cao Shun patted the cotton robe, glanced at Cao Jianniang meaningfully, and then patted the cotton robe again.
Cao Jianniang noticed the actions of the housekeeper Cao Shun, she opened the maid Yu'er, opened the cotton robe one by one, and examined it carefully. I couldn't see any clues, but after a while, Yu'er came back, and Cao Jianniang immediately stopped rummaging and asked Yu'er to put away the cotton robe.
Yu'er sorted out her clothes, and talked to Cao Jianniang without a match, "Miss, the quality of this batch of cotton robes is really good, you look at the cuffs ......"
"Cuffs" Cao Jianniang stood up suddenly, reached out to take the clothes in Yu'er's hand, carefully checked the cuffs, and sure enough, she saw that there was an extra layer of cloth at the cuffs, and when she looked up, she saw Yu'er holding a pair of scissors in her hand, with a faint smile on her face.
"You?"
"Miss, the plan is about to begin, and I'm not afraid to let you know. If it weren't for me up and down for so many years, do you think you wouldn't be discovered when you go out of Cao's Mansion at night?"
Cao Jianniang had a suddenly realized expression. Yes, if someone came to visit her after she left Cao's mansion, wouldn't it be easy to get into trouble if it weren't for Yu'er's circumstance?" "Have you always been our person?" Cao Jianniang asked.
"Yes, I've been with Miss since she started working for the organization. Yu'er replied.
"So, has the news been delivered?"
"Don't worry about the news, let's open it first and see what the organization wants us to do. ”
Cao Jianniang used scissors to cut the extra layer of the cuffs as she said, and took out a strip of cloth from it, Yu'er came over and looked at the words written on the strip of cloth with Cao Jianniang, and after reading it, the two glanced at each other.
A few days later, there was a heavy snowfall in Xiangyuan, and the weather after the snow was unusually cold, Cao Jianniang instructed the kitchen to make a dish of white radish stewed mutton, and specially instructed the kitchen to make a portion for three people, and instructed the maid Yuer to send it to Cao Jinying and Cao Jinfeng.
Cao Jinfeng hadn't seen Cao Jianniang for a long time, and he had tasted the pain of lovesickness, so he was very happy to receive the stewed mutton sent by Cao Jianniang from the kitchen, and he ate it after dividing it by two.
Cao Jinying was also very happy to see Cao Jianniang bothered so much, and he was about to move his chopsticks to eat, when he heard Mrs. Cao's maid Xi'er outside the door call him: "Second son, Mrs. told you to go." ”
Cao Jinying looked down at the delicacy in front of her, thinking that she didn't know what to tell me to do at this time, so she had to reluctantly buckle the food box, put on a cotton robe and open the door and followed Xi'er to Mrs. Cao's room.
Before I got to Mrs. Cao's room, I smelled the smell of mutton wafting from the room. Cao Jinying thought in her heart, Jiao Niang gave me stewed mutton is love, and this mother suddenly stewed mutton for me to eat, but it is far more than love. That's it, my Jin Ying's status in Cao Mansion is not as good as the other two sons, and only by working hard can I have my own place!
Cao Jinying followed Xi'er into the room, and saw Mrs. Cao sitting behind the table, and there was a large soup bowl on the table in front of her, which was stewed mutton, steaming, obviously freshly stewed.
"Mother, the child greets you. ”
"Jin Ying is so polite, both mother and son, and what do you say, please be safe. Sit down!"
Cao Jinying sat beside Mrs. Cao as she said, bowing her head and lowering her eyes.
Mrs. Cao personally filled a bowl of mutton for Cao Jinying, "Jinying, try it, this is what I made for you today, try it to see if it suits your taste." ”
Cao Jinying took the bowl and took a piece of mutton with chopsticks. Mrs. Cao's craftsmanship Cao Jinying knows, but it has always been Cao Jinfeng who has this good mouth, if he Cao Jinying wants to taste his mother's craftsmanship, he must have some big festivals to have this opportunity.
Today this opportunity suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he instinctively felt that he might not be able to bear it. Mrs. Cao's mutton stew was very bad and delicious, Cao Jinying couldn't enjoy eating a bowl, so she couldn't help but put another bowl on it.
Mrs. Cao watched him eat another bowl from the side, and she was not in a hurry to speak, so she pursed her lips and looked at Cao Jinying and smiled.
Cao Jinying had two bowls of stewed mutton and felt full, and such a picture suddenly flashed in his mind, it was not his mother who was sitting next to him, but Jiao Niang. It was not a stewed mutton in front of him, but a stewed mutton with white radish, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.
"Jin Ying, my mother has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Cao Jinying thought to herself, well, after eating, it's time to get to the point. He didn't speak.
Seeing that Cao Jinying didn't speak, Mrs. Cao continued, "When Jiao Niang came to our house, she was about the same age as your third brother Jin Feng, and the two of them really didn't guess. ”
Cao Jinying thought to herself, it turned out to be for this matter, and I am afraid that I will let the third brother go as before. Is it okay to be emotional?
"You also saw what happened later, I don't know what your relationship with Jiao Niang is. But I don't think it's as good as your third brother and Jiao Niang's little unsuspecting relationship, right?" Mrs. Cao poured a cup of tea for Cao Jinying.
"Mother, if you have something to say, just say it. Cao Jinying just wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"Alas, what do you want me to say as a mother? The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat!"
Cao Jinying wanted to say something like this: "The meat on the back of the hand is not as thick as the palm of the hand, and it is still different from intimacy! I am at best the meat on the back of the hand." ”
