The family returned to the North Wing.

Butcher Zhao sent a pork rib to the upper room today, and Mrs. Chen personally cooked a meal of potato stewed pork ribs. Seeing that Chen Xuejiao and the others were back, Old Man Chen ordered the Zhang family to send a big bowl to the upper room.

Mrs. Chen made a fuss when Xue Ru was married, and after being beaten by Old Man Chen, she became much more honest, and saw that Old Man Chen had sandwiched a big bowl of pork ribs in the upper room, and only frowned, but did not say anything unpleasant.

"We've eaten in the town, and there are a lot of people in the upper room, so how many meat dads can bring us back, you can keep them and eat them." Li said to Zhang.

"Oh, this is from my father, I am bringing it back, and I must not be disciplined by my father." Zhang put down the bowl and slipped his eyes straight into the house, "What delicious food do you eat in the town?" ”

"What can you eat?" Li was accustomed to Zhang's greedy eyes.

Zhang stood at the door and said, "Xueru has set a good family, but it's a pity that I didn't give birth to a girl." ”

On the day of Xueru's marriage, Zhang's made a lot of efforts, she worked hard, chopping wood and carrying water, when Mrs. Chen slandered Xueru Qingbai, she also came out to defend Xueru a few words, although she made such a big effort to eat the banquet noodles, but in the end it was all the face of the upper room.

To say that Zhang's person is constantly cautious and small actions against the big house, but the big heart that can harm people really doesn't have it. She is not easy, she has no family to back, the man is not angry, and she is subject to Mrs. Chen everywhere in the Chen family, but she has to cling to Mrs. Chen. Her limelight changed everywhere with Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen made a big house. She followed the step on the Li family, and the old lady Chen went to the second room, and she followed the Zhao family.

It's kind of a pathetic person.

"Her fourth aunt. A few days ago, the snow was like a family, thanks to your great efforts. Li Shi turned his head and said to Xueru, "Bring a piece of snow green cloth and a piece of autumn fragrant floral cloth from the cabinet to your fourth aunt." ”

Xue Ru went to the inner room and walked out with two pieces of cloth in her hand, and one of Zhang's faces lit up.

"Her fourth aunt, don't be ashamed, these two pieces of cloth are for you. Xue Qing, you make clothes for each of the four big egg brothers. You can see if you like this fast autumn fragrant floral cloth, and you can make a jacket or a skirt. ”

Zhang Shixi nodded again and again: "Oh, sister-in-law...... This ......"

Zhang took the cloth from Xueru's hand. There was an embarrassed flush on his face. This surprised Chen Xuejiao, who was standing beside Zhang and observing her at close range, in her impression, Zhang has always been a person with thicker skin than the panel.

"I didn't do much, Xueru is my eldest niece. She's a good friend. I'm happy too. When Xue Ru got married, I was going to the town, and it was late or something, and there was a place to stay. Zhang touched the cloth in his hand and smiled toothlessly.

She always wanted a new dress, but Mrs. Chen didn't allow it. In the end, it was the eldest sister-in-law, and she gave such a piece of cloth to Xueru so much effort. It's like the second sister-in-law, who enjoyed great blessings in Xuzhou Mansion. Get your own man to run errands and come to the house for the holidays. Not to mention any good things, she didn't bring a single piece of cloth to her.

Zhang's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly approached Li and said mysteriously: "You are not at home today, and my mother scolded the second sister-in-law and cried." ”

"There are times when the teeth of the family touch the tongue." Li said lightly, not showing that he was interested in Zhao's scolding.

Mrs. Chen is such a person, she has suffered a loss in the hands of Old Man Chen in the past two days, so she has to find someone to vent her anger. When the family was not separated before, this person was the Li family, because in addition to not being a relative, she was also a talented lady, and she had face to use her. Now that this person has been replaced by the Zhao family, her eldest daughter has married into a rich family, and her son is the head of the case, and using her as a pawn can show Mrs. Chen's ability.

Seeing that Li was not interested in this topic, Zhang said thank you again with a sneering face, and walked out of the north wing with the cloth in his arms.

Chen Xuejiao poked her head out and saw that Zhang did not go directly to the upper room, but went straight to the south wing. When it comes to her own interests, Zhang, who has always been stupid, has become shrewd, she knows that when she goes to the upper room, the cloth in her hand is afraid that it will fall into the hands of her mother-in-law.

"Your fourth aunt, this person is Han, there is no prejudice in her stomach, you said that if you let her harm someone, she doesn't have the courage." Li explained to a few children, "Your fourth aunt has a broken mouth, I'm afraid that she will go outside and talk nonsense, give her a piece of cloth to gag her mouth, I see that the clothes of the three big egg brothers are not in shape, even if your fourth aunt is there, I should give them a dress as an uncle." ”

The Li family is kind-hearted, and usually sews and mends the big eggs, not to mention that now the Zhang family has helped a lot on the day of Xueru's marriage.

"Mother is right, it's just a piece of cloth left and right." Chen Xuejiao agreed with Li's approach, not to rush to slap Zhang's mouth, but to use a piece of cloth to gag Zhang's mouth, which was good for Xueru's reputation. This method is simple and direct, unlike when dealing with the Zhao family, you have to keep your eyes on it at all times.

"Mother, give us a big bowl of pork ribs in the upper room, do you want to bring something back to the upper room." Chen Xueru handed the ribs to the stone, they had dinner tonight, and they no longer had the stomach to eat ribs.

Chen Xuejiao glanced at Chen Xueru, and Xueru smiled back.

The meaning of Chen Xueru's words was very clear, it was Old Man Chen's idea to send them a bowl of pork ribs in the upper room, and Mrs. Chen was now in a loss, so she naturally didn't care. It doesn't mean that she doesn't care about it later, Mrs. Chen is a person with a strong memory, accusing others, and likes to review the old past the most, just in case, she still has to send something to the upper room.

Li glanced at Xue Ru with appreciation. In the end, it is the person who has been engaged, and his heart and eyes have become more, which is not a bad thing, but a good thing. In the future, marrying into the Han family, although the population is simple, there is a mother-in-law, a mother-in-law, and a sister-in-law, how can you do it without a long heart.

Chen Xuejiao didn't wait for Li's instructions, so she took a few oil cakes, a plate of croissant honey, and a plate of crisp pears from the house.

These were bought in town today.

"I'll send it to you." Chen Xuejiao has a gossip heart, and just now Zhang said that Mrs. Chen scolded Zhao and cried, and she wanted to see what the situation of Zhao was.

The upper room was having dinner, and Mr. Chen was sitting on the top. Chen Zichang and Chen Qilin were next to Old Man Chen, and Old Lady Chen was sitting opposite Old Man Chen, next to Chen Xuemiao. Zhang sat on the left side of Mrs. Chen, and there were big eggs, two eggs, and three eggs sitting next to her.

Chen Xuejiao swept around, and there was no Zhao family on the dinner table.

It turned out that Zhao was waiting under the table with the maid Lu'er and Cui'er, she took off her bright clothes, took off the hairpin ring, and wore a coarse cloth dress of Mrs. Chen, wrapped in a blue headscarf. It looks very old-fashioned.

"Grandpa, grandma, we went to town today to buy these foods. This is for grandpa and grandma. Milk loves sweetness, and this dish of croissant honey is just right for milk's appetite. My voice is not very good these days, and these pears are specially bought for my lord, and it is especially good to go to cremation and phlegm. You can just eat and drink boiled water. Chen Xuejiao put the things over. was taken over by Zhao.

"Have you eaten the ribs?" Old Man Chen was obviously very happy.

"I ate it, it was delicious." Chen Xuejiao panicked in the face of Old Man Chen's eager gaze.

Mrs. Chen was nibbling on ribs and "hummed" from her nose.

Chen Xuejiao didn't care about Mrs. Chen's attitude, she set her eyes on Chen Xuemiao's body.

In the past, as long as Chen Xuejiao went to the room, Chen Xuemiao would stab her a few words, but today she is unusually quiet.

Chen Xuemiao was wearing a red silk dress with exquisite plum blossoms embroidered on it, and her eyes were very unenergetic. Holding chopsticks in his hand, there is a pair of dishes.

The whole person is cowardly.

"You want to burn me." Suddenly, Chen Xuemiao jumped up, and she was about to hit the green. Lu'er was so frightened that she knelt down.

Lu'er just gave Chen Xuemiao food, Chen Xuemiao was thinking about things, and when she raised her hand and knocked over the bowl, the skirt on her body was soaked.

"Miao'er!" Old Man Chen drank lightly, "Lu'er is also the daughter of a good family, and your sister used to do the work of serving people, so why did you take advantage of Qiao." ”

Zhao was removing the bones for Mrs. Chen, hearing this, her hands trembled slightly, she hated it most in her life when others mentioned that her eldest daughter had done the work of serving people.

"I'm not eating!" Chen Xuemiao pursed her lips, got up and went to the inner room, turned her head and glared at Lu'er viciously, "This plum blossom dress is my favorite, and you actually soiled me." ”

The look in his eyes was as if he was going to eat the green child.

The skirt was dripping and dripping, and the plum blossoms on the top were soaked in water, as if they were withering.

Chen Xuejiao suddenly blessed her soul, she had seen a plum blossom on the merchant's burden before, the same as the plum blossom on Xue Miao's skirt, pink and white petals, pale yellow stamens.

Xuewa, who was standing with her at the time, also smiled and said that this merchant can paint, and the plum blossoms on the burden are the same as the paintings.

Chen Xuejiao walked out of the upper room.

It's late autumn, and the wind is blowing in waves, and the sycamore leaves in the yard are falling with the wind, making a rustling sound. A bright moon hung in the middle of the sky, and the cold moonlight passed through the branches and leaves of the sycamore and sprinkled onto the ground.

The cold moon is like frost, Chen Xuejiao thought secretly.

"Fourth girl, please let me go." Lu'er walked past Chen Xuejiao with her head lowered.

Lu'er called Xue Jiao the fourth girl according to the ranking of the girls of the Chen family, and when Xue Jiao reacted, she turned sideways to avoid it.

Lu'er smiled at Xue Jiao, and her smile in the moonlight was very pure and bleak.

"Why are you going so late?" Chen Xuejiao asked gently.

"Wash the clothes for the three girls." Lu'er held the basin, and the red plum blossom skirt was soaked in the basin, and hurriedly walked towards the well platform.

Chen Xuejiao thought for a while, caught up with her, and asked softly: "My third sister always stands under the peach blossom tree these days and looks outside, I'm afraid I will see someone who is afraid." ”

Lu'er's body shook, looked at Xue Jiao with frightened eyes, shook her head in fright, and said incoherently: "No...... No, the four girls were wrong, and there was no one. ”

Immediately lowered his head, and in the moonlight, his face became more and more pale.

At first glance, he is not a master of lying.

Chen Xuejiao smiled and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just think that the township is not like the city, in case you encounter a thief or something, there is no official to take care of it." ”

Lu'er didn't speak, and began to fetch water and wash clothes.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Chen Xuejiao asked, and Lu'er nodded lightly: "I'm not hungry." ”

"I'll have the stone bring you something to eat." Xue Jiao said and left the well platform. (To be continued......)
