"I didn't ...... Not...... No problem. Mrs. Wang hurriedly shook her head, it was too easy to agree, "I'll go to the Su family to hire at a later date." ”

Tong Xue saw the matchmaker today, but she was in a good mood, and gave the matchmaker Wang a purse, "Then you will have to work." ”

Mrs. Wang was a little flattered, "Mrs. Xu, rest assured, the old man will handle this matter properly." ”

As soon as Tong Xue saw Mrs. Wang leave, the expression on her face changed, she made a yes pose, then lifted her skirt and quickly walked towards Xu Wan's room.

The curtain at the door of Xu Wan's room was lifted and hung on the iron nail nailed to the wall, so that the sunlight from outside could shine into the room, and the situation in the room was also clear at a glance.

In fact, when Tong Xue was receiving Mrs. Wang in the main house just now, Tong Xue saw it, she was muttering to Yan Niang just now what this person is doing, she never thought that this matter would be related to herself.

Tong Xue said with some joy, "Wan'er, the matchmaker just now was sent by the Su family. ”

"You're going to get married." Xu Wan's whereabouts are also very good, because she is there, she eats well, and she recuperates well, the fourteen-year-old girl has been very smart, and her figure has begun to develop, although the bulge on her chest is small, but it also shows a girlish posture.

Seeing that Xu Wan was holding an embroidered bandage and learning embroidery with Yan Niang, when she heard Tong Xue's words, her hand shook and she poked it on her finger, without any effort to reads();. didn't poke his finger, but it hurt too, and Xu Wan, who was caught off guard, screamed.

"Be careful, it's been a few days, why are you so careless." Tong Xue hurriedly looked at it, and saw that it didn't matter, so she was relieved to come.

Although Yan Niang was defined by Tong Xue as coming to teach Xu Wan from the beginning. But after I came, I kept wearing rouge. knew that Tong Xue was bored a few days ago, so she called Yan Niang over and asked Yan Niang to teach her embroidery. Tong Xue called Xu Wan over to study together.

If you want to talk about embroidery, in fact, Xu Wan also knows how to embroider, but it is all simple embroidery, and most of them are figured out by herself. Now that I see Yan Niang's kung fu, I naturally can't put it down. I thought that these things would be embroidered on her wedding dress, which must be extremely beautiful, so I took extra care when I learned it.

Until now, Tong Xue has given up, and Xu Wan has always insisted on learning. Tong Xue looked at the two people beside her, one holding a bandage, one teaching and one learning, and the atmosphere was harmonious, "I see that you learned embroidery from Yan Niang a few days ago, and you learned it very well." Things that should be prepared, slowly start to embroider. It also saves time in a hurry. But the days are still long, but don't be too anxious, what you want to embroider, just learn first. ”

In fact, in the girl's dowry, according to the local rules, in addition to the hijab and the wedding dress requirements are made by the bride herself, other things, the family can also help, after all, it is indeed a bit laborious to embroider alone.

Of course, if ordinary people are not so particular, after all, the Zhuang family is well fed and clothed, and there is not so much attention to the number of rituals for marriage, but the Su family is also a rich family in the county, and this dowry is naturally strictly in accordance with the rules.

Speaking of this, Tong Xue also had some regrets, she really wanted to help, but she couldn't be embarrassed and thrown outside, so she had to hold back, "You have also seen my craftsmanship, it is absolutely impossible to help you in this place, you can only rely on yourself." ”

Xu Wan thought about Tong Xue's only embroidered product so far, and finally praised it against her will, "I think the trumpet flower embroidered by my sister-in-law is still very good-looking." ”

Tong Xue's face flushed abnormally, well, she admitted that the petals she embroidered were not too separated, but it was not as far as the round trumpet flower, Tong Xue snorted angrily and said, "I'll say it one last time, the one I embroidered is not a trumpet flower, it's an orchid." What kind of vision do you have? ”

However, there is a specialization in the art industry, Tong Xue will not be entangled in embroidery, or to do what she is good at and like to be happier, Tong Xue stood up, "You follow Yan Niang well, I will go and make some snacks for you with Jade, just make the silver silk candy and peanut stuffing that you said were very delicious a few days ago, don't you like to eat it the most, wait for it to be sent to you." ”

After having Jade, in fact, a lot of work does not need Tong Xue to do, Tong Xue only needs to tell how to do it, after the dim sum is ready, Tong Xue packed it with a saucer and sent it to Xu Wan's room.

Looking at the half of the small flower on Xu Wan's embroidered bandage, and then thinking about her own works, Tong Xue secretly thought to herself, talent is really not something that can be caught up with the day after tomorrow.

Xu Wan put the embroidered bandage, stuck a silver candy and stuffed it into her mouth, both eyes narrowed happily, it can be seen that she was very happy to eat, "Sister-in-law, do you really want to leave in a few days?" ”

Tong Xue nodded, "Of course, your eldest brother will always take office, and he will not be at home for a short time." ”

Xu Wan licked her lips playfully, and rolled all the residues on her mouth into her mouth, "You haven't left yet, I'm a little reluctant to let you go." ”

Looking at the rapidly decreasing silver candy on the table, Tong Xue was also reluctant in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "I think you are reluctant to eat these." ”

Xu Wan felt that since the sister-in-law came, they were really happy, there was always no snack at home before, but since the days were better, the sister-in-law would always change her way to make all kinds of snacks and meals, they used to look at other children in the village and envy them, but now, others can only envy them.

A few days ago, Xu Wenzhao's kid was very proud and said that the snacks that his sister-in-law brought him were envious of his classmates in the school.

"My sister-in-law can always make these tricks, they are beautiful and delicious, and they are not available elsewhere, who is not rare." Xu Wan said with emotion, "It's just that the eldest brother doesn't like sweets so much, I saw him eat two or three pieces of silver candy by himself that time." ”

Tong Xue was happy when she heard it, "I said why Wen Zhao had to tell me that I left him less sugar." ”

Xu Wan stuck out her tongue, feeling as if she was in trouble and exposed her eldest brother, "Sister-in-law, you don't know." Then don't tell your eldest brother that I'm suing you. ”

Xu Wenda happened to walk in at this time, and said with a smile, "Don't tell me anything, what secrets do you have?" ”

Seeing that Yan Niang was also there, Xu Wenda didn't come in, but stood at the door, "Lady." I'm looking for something for you. ”

Tong Xue immediately ran out. Pulled Xu Wenda back to the main house, "I was also about to tell you that the Su family sent a matchmaker to come today." I guess I'll come to the eight characters in a few days. ”

Xu Wenda also knew about it, so he came to Tong Xue, "Well, if it's eight characters, there is no problem." This family business should be settled on this door. ”

"I was going to tell you about it, but now that you know. I'm not going to say any more. ”

Xu Wenda looked at Tong Xue a little depressed, "By the way, what did Wan'er let you hide from me just now?" ”

Tong Xue smiled, and then teased. "It's nothing, that is, someone clearly said that he didn't like sweets, but secretly ate several pieces of silver candy I prepared for Wen Zhao. I wondered where the cat got it. ”

"If I'm a glutton. What is that lady? Xu Wenda looked at Tong Xue with a smile, "Whatever is made by a lady, the taste is excellent." ”

After a pause, Xu Wenda added, "Even if it's sweet, it's very much to my liking." ”

After a while, Xu Wenda didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly said to Tong Xue, "I heard today that the business of Fulinlou in the county is not as good as before, although it is not enough to make ends meet, but it can't be compared with the Xianlai Pavilion managed by Shopkeeper Liu." ”

Tong Xue also patted her head at this time, and she finally remembered something that she had forgotten for a long time, "By the way, I didn't tell you one more thing before, and then I forgot about it because of some miscellaneous things, and today when you talk about Shopkeeper Liu, I remembered it." ”

Xu Wenda saw Tong Xue's attitude so solemn and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's our recipe for lo-mei, during this time, although we don't sell lo-mei, but just the business of brine, there is also a lot of money in the account every day." Tong Xue thought of making a living from her own family, although the Xu family did not sell it, but the money has been earning, during this time, do the math, there is a lot of money, "I have been thinking about whether I can make the seasoning into powder, so that it is more convenient to sell, but there is also a fatal problem, that is, there is no way to keep the raw materials secret, and the connoisseur knows what kind of spices are used in it when he looks at the powder." ”

Tong Xue's idea at the beginning was good, but the current conditions did not support the implementation of her idea at all, it was easy to put the spices into the pot, but it was difficult to get them out of the pot again. "I was trying to see if I could make the brine into a powder that wasn't so easy to see. But then I put it off, and I guess even if I use empty research, it will be enough to choke reads();. ”

Tong Xue has not succeeded in this matter, and after she left, this deal obviously can't be done, "This is a big entry, I just thought, join our whole family and follow you to the appointment, I originally wanted to leave this secret recipe for Aunt Liu's family." But Shopkeeper Liu told me that leaving it to their house would cause them trouble, so I hesitated, thinking about whether to forget it. Xianggong, what do you think? ”

Xu Wenda felt that since this secret recipe was Tong Xue's, it should naturally be disposed of by Tong Xue, what Tong Xue decided, he would support it unconditionally, and as for the family's expenses, he would earn it himself, but if this matter is not handled well, there will be problems left over from history, and it should be properly considered.

Xu Wenda knew that Tong Xue did this out of kindness, and knew that Aunt Liu took care of her family, so she also wanted to help Aunt Liu, but she didn't come first or something that was not so important in her eyes, or for others, it was very important, "Your starting point is good, during this time, Aunt Liu's family relied on lo-mei, and this life was not bad, and they got up slowly, if we left, there would be no secret recipe, they would definitely have one less source of income, leave it to them, and they can continue to sell lo-mei." ”

"But what Shopkeeper Liu said is not unreasonable." Then Xu Wenda continued, "Yes, then buy it for Shopkeeper Liu." ”

"Huh?"

Tong Xue was stunned, what is this, why did she jump so fast?

Xu Wenda asked, "Shopkeeper Liu told you this, didn't he want Fangzi?" ”

Tong Xue nodded vigorously, Shopkeeper Liu had told her before, "Yes, during the time you went to Jianye to catch the exam, he also mentioned it to me and was rejected by me, and now it seems that he is a little thief." ”

Xu Wenda continued to explain, "Buy the secret recipe to Shopkeeper Liu, and then tell Aunt Liu and them, so that Aunt Liu's brine has a source, there is no need to arouse suspicion, the financial route is not broken, Shopkeeper Liu also got what he wanted, and we can still get a sum of silver." ”

Tong Xue nodded, "I understand, it sounds like that." ”

Thinking that there would be more money in plain white, Tong Xue was in a good mood, "When I saw Shopkeeper Liu the next time, I told him like this, but I had a heartfelt matter, and now the Su family sent someone to come again, it is really a double happiness, I decided to make a delicious celebration today." ”

Xu Wenda looked at Tong Xue, who was happy all day at home, and then thought about it when he was in Jianye, and couldn't help asking, "Are you happy at home, you look much happier now than when you were in Jianye." ”

Tong Xue was stunned, and then said as a matter of course, "Because this is home." And these days, you see how laid-back my life is. But you, who have only been in office for a while, seem to have started working now, and often don't know what you're up to? ”

It's home.

Hearing this sentence, Xu Wenda's heart was beating irregularly, and he only felt like he was about to jump out. When Tong Xue said without hesitation that this was home, no one knew how happy Xu Wenda was in his heart.

He has made so many efforts, and getting along with Tong Xue day and night these days has finally made Tong Xue feel his sincerity, and feel that this is her home, since this is the case, then Tong Xue should not leave.

Although my heart was about to jump up and down, the corners of my mouth were slightly hooked on my face, and I pretended to respond calmly to Tong Xue's words just now, "It is said that the official is most afraid of the poor mountains and bad waters, Yuzhou is one of the leaders, I always have to understand the environment there in advance, so that I will not be in a hurry after arriving, but those books and travelogues, the latest is also four or five years ago, can not be used as the final reference, the specific situation still has to go to the local situation to understand in detail."
