Mu Chenxue gave his hand-embroidered purse to Nangong Shumo, which can be regarded as a thank you for his help over the past few days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It's just that she doesn't fully understand it herself, and it also contains her good impression of Nangong Shumo that is different from others.

After these days, I have thanked my benefactor, inspected the shops and granges, and the morning snow is completely idle. In addition to the need to look at the face of the eldest lady every morning and dusk, and listen to those indifferent mockery, the days are also comfortable.

There are two more days on the eighth day of the lunar month, which is a day to worship ancestors and gods and pray for a good harvest. On such a day, the inner courtyard will naturally send in some things for the festival. But the eldest lady presides over the feed, this thing will only be less and not more, and it will only be worse than good. Mu Chenxue didn't expect these things to celebrate the holiday, so she asked Jiang's mother to send a message to Tong Jiang, and according to the written list, he asked him to help buy New Year's goods outside.

Mama Jiang read the list, and she was really happy for Aunt Cheng in her heart, and her face was full of happy smiles. "What makes the nurse so happy? But what happened at home? Aunt Cheng asked with a smile while doing needlework.

These days, the old man will go into the backyard from time to time, so Aunt Cheng has been somewhat relieved from the initial fear to the current acceptance of reality. And the lord can come, and the things in the backyard for the festival are not good, but they are not lacking. It's good that during the last year's holidays, I couldn't even eat japonica rice.

"There is nothing happy about the old slave, but Jiang Er has made a lot of money these days by learning to do business with Miss Five. The old slave is happy for his aunt! "My son told me that Miss Fifth didn't want Aunt Cheng to know too much about the things outside, lest she tell the eldest master with a soft heart. So every time Jiang's mother talks about this, she will mention it in a sentence.

"What's the joy for me?" Aunt Cheng thought that Mother Jiang was talking about her leaving the door for the eldest master, and her face turned red and she was a little ashamed.

"Why not, Auntie's blessing is great! The fifth lady sent a message to Jiang'er and asked him to help buy a number of New Year's goods, but this backyard has not been so lively for many days! As soon as Mother Jiang said this, Aunt Cheng put away the shame on her face and put on a happy face.

"Hey! It's not easy for the fifth sister to do a small business, not to mention saving more dowry for herself, but all of it is used to supplement me and the ninth brother. You see, these cloth cotton are not bargains. Look at these dim sum again, I heard that they are the best dim sum in town! Aunt Cheng pointed to the brocade around her and the snacks on the table, although her mouth was not worth it for the fifth sister, her face was full of happiness.

"The fifth miss is completely awake, when the fifth miss was hugged by the eldest lady, she always had a cold face when she saw you and the ninth brother, and the old slave was distressed when she looked at it. Now it's okay, the eldest lady is a bamboo basket to draw water, and she is busy working in vain! Every time Jiang's mother talked about it, she was still a little afraid. If it weren't for the fifth lady's serious illness, Aunt Cheng would have taken care of her every step, but I'm afraid that the fifth miss wouldn't recognize Aunt Cheng as her mother at this time.

"Blood is thicker than water, eternal and unchanged, the eldest lady is in love! It's just that the fifth sister used to be always in the hands of the master, but since she recovered from the illness, every time she sees the master, she doesn't even have a smile on her face! "Every time the master comes to the backyard, the fifth sister will always find some excuses, and go back to her house after saluting, never staying for a moment.

The old man didn't see anything, but Aunt Cheng cared about her daughter, so she naturally understood it. "The master has snubbed my aunt for all these years, and the fifth lady may feel sorry for her aunt!" Mother Jiang didn't know why Miss Five was like this, after all, Miss Five now had a lot of thoughts, and she couldn't guess what she was thinking in her heart.

The master and servant were doing needlework, eating snacks and chatting, enjoying a rare leisure time, but it was not boring. At noon the next day, Tong Jiang bought all the things he had purchased, and Jiang's mother and Steward Liu moved the things into the backyard together. Because the old man often goes to the backyard these days, the people didn't think much about it, thinking that the old man felt sorry for Aunt Cheng, so he bought something for her.

The eldest lady sulked for a few days, and even thought of all kinds of excuses to get things out of the backyard. It's just that Mu Chenxue is there, so every time Jin Hong comes over, Mu Chenxue only asks her to take away some of the things that have been distributed in the inner courtyard, and she doesn't let the eldest lady take any of the things she bought.

On the day of Laba Festival, the county school was also suspended for one day. Mu Chenxue personally cooked a pot of laba porridge early in the morning, looking at the various rices, red beans, and soft jujubes that were floating in the pot. The heart is also sweetened.

Waiting for the porridge to come out of the pot, then order eight kinds of dried fruits such as peach kernels, almonds, sunflower kernels, peanuts, and pine nuts.

Put out a small altar first, and when Jiu Ge'er came back with the eldest master to sacrifice his ancestors and gods, he ordered Fang Yan to drive Jiu Ge'er to send it to the master of the county school. Only then did the porridge on the cloth vegetables be warmed in a small red clay stove, waiting for the ninth brother to come back and eat together as a family.

The shogunate is also going to have a reunion dinner today, but it's not breakfast, it's dinner. Therefore, Mu Chenxue not only made Laba porridge for the morning, but also cooked a pot of eight-treasure rice for the noon side dishes.

When Brother Jiu'er came back, he had a smile on his face, "Fifth sister, the master said that our laba porridge is the most fragrant!" "The students would take advantage of the festival to give some food to the master. Among the students, to be praised by the master, Mu Chenfeng is still a little proud, not for himself, but for his sister's craftsmanship.

"If the Master likes it, it's fine. On weekdays, the master teaches very wholeheartedly, so we must respect the teacher and always have filial piety! While the sister and brother were chatting, they cleaned their hands and prepared to eat.

During the banquet, Aunt Cheng naturally wanted to ask, Brother Jiu'er was more like a child when he was next to his mother, and he was talking and laughing, which added a lot of joy. Mu Chenxue just sat on the side and listened, everything in front of her was what she wanted most, "If, just if!" Mu Chenxue sometimes thinks like this, "If there is another loving father, this family can be considered complete!" But she knew that it could only be a luxury.

Heaven has treated her well, given her a loving mother, and given her a lovely brother, and she should be content. But this is the human heart, when there is no money, what I think is that as long as I have money, it will be good. But with money, I thought it would be nice to have a happy family. Therefore, there is always a time when the human heart is not satisfied. As long as you can be "content", it is already rare.

Jiang Ma and Fanghua also sat on the side, the eldest man was not there, and Mu Chenxue would always pull the two of them to the same table. Fanghua looked at Miss Wu with a grateful face. After entering the moon, she and Fang Yan both increased the monthly rate, and these did not go to the clear accounts of the outer courtyard, but the two people who were given by the fifth lady from her own private room. And not only these, but also the laba porridge and eight-treasure rice cooked by Miss Wu herself, which also allowed Fanghua to send some to the outer courtyard. Being able to follow such a master, Fang Hua and Fang Yan both know that this is their blessing. So he was desperately waiting for the fifth young lady and the ninth young master. (To be continued.) )
