Early the next morning, before dawn, Chen went into the house and took Gu Siniang and Gu Sanniang, who were still asleep, out of the bed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When they packed up, the car sent by the Wu family also arrived, and Wu County Ling was a seven-rank official and had not yet qualified to use horses, so it was naturally a donkey cart that came.

Chen was a little flattered, where had he received such treatment, he was terrified all the way.

The mother and daughter got into the car, and the driver set off in the donkey cart.

They set off early, and when they arrived at Wu's house, the sun had just risen, Mrs. Wu was still asleep, and it was Mrs. Wu's mother who received them.

Mother Du listened to the report, so she took them to the wing, thinking that they would live with the Wu family, but she didn't expect the Wu family to arrange a separate small courtyard for the three of them. Chen and Gu Sanniang were both surprised, and thanked Du's mother again and again.

Gu Siniang looked at this courtyard, and her heart was more confused and uneasy.

It stands to reason that the Chen family is here to help, to put it bluntly, it is also a short-term worker hired by the Wu family, and it is similar to the next person, how can she arrange such a good place, it is not that she is arrogant, but that things are too unusual, and there must be demons when things are unusual, and she can't help but worry about whether this Mrs. Wu has other purposes.

"Mother Du, thank you to Mrs. Lao." Chen's body was blessed.

Mother Du avoided it sideways, only accepted half a salute, and said with a smile, "You're polite." Mrs. said, since it is to help the house, it is considered a guest, the Wu family naturally has to entertain well, you don't have to take it to heart, the three embroidery girls who entered the house this time, Mrs. has arranged the same accommodation. ”

"Where, where." Chen waved her hand again and again, although she was still a little embarrassed to say this, "I'm already here, when will I start working?" ”

Mother Du smiled, "You rest first, wait for me to talk to the people in the embroidery room, and someone will take you over later." ”

Chen thanked him again and again, and after Du's mother finished explaining, she got up and left.

"Ah, you see, there is no smoke in this charcoal." Gu Sanniang squatted on the ground with a look of surprise.

Chen also nodded again and again, "The Wu family is really extraordinary. ”

Mother Du came out of Chen's small courtyard, turned around and went to Yuan's courtyard, "Madam, it's all done." ”

Yuan nodded, "Got it, what are they not satisfied with?" ”

Mother Du snorted, her tone a little disdainful, "Where do they dare to be dissatisfied, they can't find such a good place to live with lanterns." I want the slave to say, "Madam, you are too kind-hearted." ”

Yuan Shi smiled at her, in the end, she was very useful for Mother Du's flattery, "Okay, don't say this outside." You also know that the master has been in office for three years this year, and now is a critical time, everything must be cautious in words and deeds. ”

Local officials are in office, and they are evaluated every three years, and those with outstanding political performance can be promoted by the sponsorship of the upper peak. Wu Xianling came to Chongqing three years ago, and it has been three years since this year, and during this time, he is moving around, hoping to be promoted. During the assessment period, some superiors sent people to the local government to investigate the local political performance and the voice of the people.

The Yuan family was very low-key during this time, and ordered everyone in the house to be cautious in their words and deeds, so as not to be caught.

"The slave knows." Du's mother hurriedly responded.

At noon, someone knocked on the door to deliver food, and Chen opened the door to see that it was Xiaoju who he saw yesterday, and hurriedly invited her into the house.

"No, no, the slave still has something to do, and she can't stay for a long time." Xiao Ju shook her head with a smile and handed over the food box in her hand, "In the future, I will bring you food in the morning, lunch and evening." ”

"That's embarrassing, it's really troublesome Miss Xiaoju." Chen thanked him again.

Xiao Ju covered her lips and smiled happily, "Later, someone will take you to the embroidery room, if Sanniang and Siniang are bored, you can let them go to the garden." ”

"Then what's so embarrassing, the two girls are not sensible, don't bump into the nobles." Chen shook his head repeatedly.

"It's out of the way, my wife likes children the most." Xiao Ju covered her lips and smiled.

After sending Xiao Ju away, Chen returned to the house with the food box, took out the food inside, and put it on the table, which was a sigh again.

Gu Siniang looked at the food for a long time and didn't speak, this is inevitably a little too rich, a fried meat with winter bamboo shoots, a vinegar ball, a scrambled egg with garlic sprouts, a winter melon pork rib soup, it seems that there are children in consideration, and a plate of jujube paste cake is prepared.

Not long after eating, a maid came outside and took Chen to the embroidery room.

Gu Sanniang usually sleeps for an hour after lunch, Gu Siniang lay on the kang but couldn't sleep, looked at the food box on the table, put on shoes and went out of the yard.

"Whose little girl is this, where is she going with the food box?" On the way, there were maids from Wu's mansion who asked curiously when they saw her.

Gu Siniang had a sweet mouth, and shouted everyone with a smile, Aunt Beauty, and Sister Beauty shouted one by one, making everyone smile, and when she followed the road to the kitchen, her two pockets were filled with small snacks given by everyone.

I just had lunch, and dinner didn't have to be prepared so early, and the cooks in the kitchen were resting, and a few people were eating shabu-shabu around a stove.

There is a small pot on top of the small stove, in which is put with broth, green onions cut into sections, ginger slices take two or three slices and throw them in to cook, wait for the water to boil, and then put the cut meat slices and vegetables into it one by one to cook, scoop it up and eat it with the prepared sauce.

This is a clever method, mainly because they are busy for a long time, they are very tired, and they don't want to start a fire in the stove, which saves a lot of effort, so this way of eating is very popular in the kitchen.

Gu Siniang walked to the kitchen with a big food box and asked twice if there was anyone, but no one answered her.

After hesitating, he walked in with one step, and as soon as he stepped into the door with one foot, he heard someone scolding behind him.

"Where did this girl come from, how can you enter the kitchen casually?"

Gu Siniang was taken aback by this voice, stretched out her hand to cover her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and said timidly, "I'm here to return the food box." ”

The woman who spoke was about forty years old, thin, dark-skinned, and had a serious face, Wen Yan looked at the food box in her hand, walked over and took it, "The things have been sent away, you can leave now." ”

"Yo, I said Ah Chen, you are bullying children again." When Gu Siniang heard the reputation, she was a white and chubby woman, standing there smiling.

"Use your nosy." The thin black woman snorted and said angrily.

"Hehe, little girl, you don't have to pay attention to her, she has a bad temper, we all like her." The white fat woman walked over, and Gu Siniang saw clearly that her facial features were very distinctive, and to put it bluntly, she had a smiling face.

The two are black and white, fat and thin, one is serious and the other is festive, and it looks very comic.
