Xu Jinyu blinked a pair of innocent eyes and asked with concern, "Auntie, your face doesn't seem to look good." Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Ask while knowing the answer!

Xiao Zou took a deep breath and replied with a smile: "It's nothing." Since you have chosen, do as you wish. As he spoke, he instructed Mrs. Jiang: "You can write down the few maids you picked just now." I'll pick a few more little guys, and you'll go to the account office to get the money later." ”

Mrs. Jiang was overjoyed and responded energetically.

The Zou family picked a small guy with the little Zou family.

Ji Yu glanced at the mediocre-looking Ruxiang, and couldn't help but pout: "Cousin Jin, there are so many maids, why did you choose this one." Not to mention the age, it is ugly. It's much better to pick anyone than to pick her. ”

The contempt in the words is clear.

Rue Xiang was as if she hadn't heard it, and she still looked calm. is only so calm and calm, and he has already compared other maids far below.

Xu Jinyu smiled: "I just like Ruxiang." ”

Ji Yu rolled her eyes: "Forget it, if you love to face ugly monsters, it's up to you." ”

Ji Yu couldn't listen anymore, glanced at Ji Yu, and said lightly: "Third sister, you are not too small, you should pay attention to your actions and words." Whoever is the master should not humiliate his subordinates at will. ”

Rue Xiang is indeed a little mediocre, but it can't be said to be ugly! Ji Yu deliberately said this, obviously deliberately using this matter to pressure Xu Jinyu.

Ji Yu was unhappy, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Second sister, are you really my own sister?" Why do you speak to others in everything! ”

Forget it, what you just said is in vain.

Ji Yu was too lazy to take care of Ji Yu anymore, glanced at Ruxiang, and then said to Xu Jinyu with a smile: "Your vision is not bad." Although Rue Xiang is older, she looks calm and serious, and she must be careful in her work. She also worked as a cook in Luofu. That Lord Luo is notoriously addicted to food, and it seems that you will be blessed in the future. ”

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll taste Ruxiang's cooking skills first, if the cooking skills are outstanding, half of this blessing will be given to you in the future." ”

The two talked and laughed, and naturally put Ji Yu aside.

Ji Yu was angry and annoyed. Qi Jiyu turned her elbow outward, and she was more affectionate to an outsider than to her own sister. is even more angry with Xu Jinyu, and Ji Yu, who has been coaxed in just a few months, looks at it differently

All in all, this feeling of being excluded is terrible!

Xiao Zou picked a few young people who spoke smartly, one of them was named Zhou Yong, who was good at tending to flowers and plants, and Xiao Zou deliberately left him to take care of the flowers and plants in the garden.

The rest of the little guys had arrangements one by one, Xu Jinyu didn't pay attention, and after getting Ruxiang's deed of sale, she led Rue Xiang back to Yinyan Pavilion with a smile.

Without waiting for Zou to open his mouth to complain, Xu Jinyu came to make a first move: "Mother, don't complain." Since my aunt is sincere in giving me a maid, she won't mind a deed of sale. A maid is twenty taels of silver. My aunt bought me more than just these silver taels. ”

Zou glanced at Xu Jinyu: "You still remember this." After we arrived in the capital, your aunt never treated you badly. How can you speak to your aunt like that. If it weren't for my face, your aunt would have been angry and turned her face. ”

Xu Jinyu pulled the corners of her lips and said meaningfully: "You can rest assured." My aunt is tolerant and generous, and she won't really turn her face with me. ”

For the sake of the "big plan" in the future, Xiao Zou will only pretend to be virtuous and generous now, and deliberately win her over. Never turn your face and get angry!

Zou glared at Xu Jinyu, and seeing that Xu Jinyu was not a little weak-hearted, he couldn't help but feel annoyed: "You are justified in everything you say!" According to you, is it right for your aunt to treat you and your child well? Your father taught you before, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. You shouldn't have forgotten all of that! ”

"Of course I haven't forgotten." Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed slightly, and she said pointedly: "I'm not the kind of person with a wolf's heart. My aunt is so 'good' to me, and one day, I will definitely have something 'in return'. ”

Zou naturally couldn't hear the meaning of Xu Jinyu's words, and his face finally looked better when he heard the words: "It's good that you know it in your heart." You have to have a conscience to be a man, and whoever is good to you must be remembered. Although your aunt lacks nothing, you will have to do your best in the future."

It's very simple to deal with Zou's clichés, just pretend to listen attentively, and then nod obediently.

Zou taught a lesson, and when he saw that Xu Jinyu had a good attitude, he was satisfied

In the afternoon, Rue Xiang cooked two dim sums.

One is yam and jujube cake, and the other is mung bean shortbread. It's all home-cooked snacks, not surprising, but very delicious. The yam and jujube cake is sweet and soft, and the mung bean shortbread is fragrant but not greasy.

"It's really a good cook." Xu Jinyu tasted each of the pastries and couldn't help but praise.

Rue Xiang replied respectfully: "Thank you Miss for the compliment." However, the slave is not best at pastries. The slave maid used to be in Luofu, specializing in cooking for Lord Luo. ”

Xu Jinyu laughed a little surprised: "In this way, I can be regarded as picking up a treasure." ”

Such a delicious pastry is not what Rue Xiang is best at, and she immediately compares her mother's cooking skills.

Rue Xiang was quite flattered, and responded with a smile: "I really don't dare to be a treasure slave when I pick it up." Slaves and maids have loved to cook since they were young. I put more thought into it than others, and I should be better at cooking. ”

Neither flattering nor deliberately pandering. His eyes are clear and he speaks in an orderly manner.

Xu Jinyu became more and more satisfied with Ruexiang. At the beginning, I chose the older Rue because I fell in love with the calmness of the Rue. I didn't expect Ruexiang's cooking skills to be so good, and her temperament was unexpectedly to her liking.

Xu Jinyu smiled and ordered: "You will cook tonight, I just want to taste your cooking skills." ”

Rue Xiang respectfully agreed.

Xu Jinyu instructed Chu Xia again: "You divide the pastry into four parts, and send one to Tinglan Courtyard." Give one to Cousin Yu, and don't forget to send one for Cousin Yu. ”

As for the last one, of course, I want to give it to Zou to taste.

Although Zou often favors his brother, he is not shrewd, and he is coaxed by Xiao Zou. However, no matter how much it is, it's also her own mother, isn't it?

After Zou tasted the pastry, his opinion of Rue Xiang suddenly changed: "This Rue Xiang looks inconspicuous, I didn't expect the cooking skills to be so outstanding." ”

"Yes, we'll be blessed in the future." Xu Jinyu said with a smile: "Tonight, I'll let Rue Xiang cook a few good dishes and let my mother taste them." ”

Zou couldn't help laughing: "It's all sweet words to make me happy." ”

Xu Jinyu was tired of coquettishly beside the Zou family: "What's good, of course I'm the first to think about honoring my mother." ”

No matter how much anger and unhappiness Zou had in his heart, he was completely eliminated by this coquettish anger. smiled and reached out to hug her daughter's delicate body: "You, don't be angry with me in the future." ”

Xu Jinyu obediently snuggled in the familiar warm embrace of the Zou family, and hummed softly. But I thought in my heart, of course I can't bear to be angry with you, if you want to be angry, you will also be angry with Xiao Zou!

In the evening, Rue Xiang cooked a hot six dishes and one soup.

Xu Zheng didn't come back, and the mother and daughter sat opposite each other and ate dinner. Rue is not exaggerating, her cooking skills are indeed superb. It's all home-cooked meals, but it's exceptionally delicious.

Xu Jinyu and Zou both ate more than usual.

Zou smiled and praised Rue Xiang a few words, and rewarded Rue Xiang with a silver bracelet: "You were selected by Jin Niang to serve by your side, which is also your blessing." You will serve you well in the future, and Jinniang and I will not treat you badly. ”

Rue Xiang thanked respectfully: "Thank you, Mrs. for the reward." The slave must do her best. ”

There are not many words, but they are in the ears.

The more Zou looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

The daughter's vision is really good, Rue Xiang is not outstanding, but her words and deeds are far better than ordinary maids

When it was time to arrive, Xu Zheng returned.

Zou greeted him with a smile, smelled the faint smell of wine on Xu Zheng's body, and couldn't help asking, "Zheng'er, did you drink again today?" ”

Xu Zheng was in a very good mood today, and Jun's face was full of smiles: "Today I wrote an article, please ask Master Cao for guidance." After reading my current article, Master Cao praised it a few words. Ji Hao and I were left to have dinner in Cao's Mansion tonight. ”

Lord Cao is notoriously harsh, and it is rare to be praised by him. Not to mention, Lord Cao actually took the initiative to leave Xu Zheng for dinner.

Obviously, Master Cao really appreciates Xu Zheng.

Zou was very happy: "Even if Lord Cao leaves you for dinner, it doesn't hurt to drink some wine." ”

The mother and son were talking, and Xu Jinyu came with a bowl of decanting soup with a smile: "Big brother, this bowl of decanting soup has been made a long time ago, and it has been kept hot in warm water, and it is just not hot to drink now." ”

Xu Zheng took a sip with a smile, and then sighed: "The taste of this decanting soup, why is it different from usual?" ”

"On weekdays, it is the decanting soup made by Mother Sun, and today's decanting soup is made by the new maid Ruxiang." Xu Jinyu said with a smile.

Xu Zheng was a little surprised: "Why is there suddenly an extra maid?" ”

Xu Jinyu smiled and said about today's maid picking: "I insisted on asking for Ruxiang's deed of sale, and my aunt must be unhappy." ”

Xu Zheng almost didn't think about it: "Since my aunt is sincere in wanting to add you a maid, she naturally won't mind a mere deed of sale." ”

Zou: ""

Zou sighed with a smile: "Have you two discussed it before, and even the rhetoric is the same." ”

Xu Jinyu and Xu Zheng responded in unison: "Of course, we are brothers and sisters." ”

As they spoke, they looked at each other and smiled.

The brother and sister have a close and tacit understanding, talking and laughing. Zou saw it in his eyes and felt relieved.

What Xu Zheng said also makes sense. Xiao Zou shouldn't mind a deed of sale!
