The matter of the house is finally decided.

On the third day of February, the Feng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law moved out of Huaishu Village.

Mrs. Feng is naturally reluctant to stay in this place for almost thirty years. She got into the carriage hired by her son-in-law, and the next few carts were filled with cages and some household belongings that could be taken away.

In the carriage, Xiangmei sat on one side with Feng Lao Niang, and Yun Zhu sat on the other side.

After the car drove for a while, Mrs. Feng closed her eyes and looked a little haggard. These days, I have been tossing about moving, I haven't eaten and slept well, and after settling down, I always have to rest for a few days. Anyway, I won't let my mother-in-law work in the field in the future, she has to be busy outside, and she can help cook and watch the house.

Because of the luggage on the rear panel car, the car did not travel very fast, and finally entered the city, it was in the afternoon.

The group was exhausted. Yunzhu handed over her mother-in-law to Xiangmei to take care of, asked Liu Meng to help sort out things, and ran to the street again, found a restaurant, and asked them to make two tables of meals and send them.

Yunzhu, the person who helped deliver the things, planned to leave them for one night, although there were no such beds at home, but it was also possible to write two guest rooms, but the people were in a hurry to go back. They were all common acquaintances in the village, and Yunzhu was grateful for their help. They were in a hurry to leave, so they had to give each of them a string of money for their hard work.

"Oh, Song Niangzi, you are so polite, Mengzi has already given us the money. Let's look ...... again" spoke to Zhang Wu, who used to work in the Feng family.

"I know you deserve it, too. Take it. "Yunzhu knows where to be generous, so he has to be generous. Maybe there will be trouble in the future.

After sending these people away, it is finally time to rest.

"What is my sister-in-law going to do next?" Liu Meng is still worried about the future life of the Feng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if they are in Huaishu Village. How can he help take care of it, but now that he is far away, even if he has the heart, he is powerless.

Yun Zhu said with a smile: "When I settle down, I plan to find a suitable shop to open a restaurant." ”

"But sister-in-law, you can't be busy alone."

"Isn't it possible to ask for help, what are you afraid of?"

Liu Meng had nothing to say, so he had to say: "If you want to help in the future, your sister-in-law just asks." ”

"I know, I'll leave all the things on the mountain to you. The harvest of the field is yours. Every year, I only take the part that I agreed upon, as well as roses, so I don't forget to cook them. ”

Liu Meng responded yes.

At night, Xiangmei and Feng Lao Niang's mother and daughter slept in the same bed. It's still like when Xiangmei was young, nagging with her mother in the bed, she felt warm.

"You've always been a bit stupid, and you have to think a little more about everything you do in the future. You know? ”

"Yes."

Yunzhu here has been working hard for several days in a row. I slept on the bed. The next day, the window turned white before it got up.

The rice, flour and oil are all brought from the village, so it is convenient to prepare breakfast or something. Yunzhu got up and cleaned her hands. I hurriedly boiled the green vegetable porridge first, and then began to mix the noodles, beat the eggs, and spread the fragrant egg cakes. Serve two plates of home-pickled pickles.

The four of them sat down and ate together, and the Liu family still had something to do, so Liu Meng took Xiangmei back to Qingtang. Last night, Mrs. Feng quietly stuffed a purse for Xiangmei. Xiangmei sat in the car and opened it to see. There was a silver ticket in it, and she followed Tian Tian to recognize and write. Seeing that it was written on the number of ten taels, his head was blindfolded.

Ten taels, ten taels, my mother is really generous!

This money is Feng Lao Niang's private money to Xiangmei, and Xiangmei will naturally keep it well, and will not tell Liu Meng, and keep it for later use.

People are moving in, but a lot of furniture hasn't been hit, and Yunzhu has to go to the furniture store.

"You don't have to be too anxious, how much furniture can we both use, and this is enough for the two of us. Let's put it slowly in the future. If you keep the money, you have to find a shop. ”

Yunzhu nodded and said, "My mother has a point, it's just that the bed my mother slept on has long been old, and I have to build two decent cabinets, and I have to build another table." The house was empty. "The previous Eight Immortals Table was not very flat because of the broken legs, and it was too bulky, so none of them were brought over.

"Take your time."

"Well, I know. It's just that I have to go to Brother-in-law Qi, and I have to go to the General's Mansion to say hello. After all, he was taken care of by others, and he had to say something when he moved. ”

Feng Lao Niang nodded and said, "These are all as they should be." ”

"Yes, I'll go out and see what gifts I can buy, and I can't leave empty-handed."

Mrs. Feng agreed.

Yunzhu bought two-color dim sum and went to the lacquer house.

It happened that Qi's brother-in-law was not at home, and the Wang family received Yunzhu.

"You're moving pretty fast, and I thought you wouldn't be able to move here until the end of the month."

Yunzhu said with a smile: "My mother-in-law has found someone to calculate, saying that yesterday was a good day and it is suitable to move." Please take care of it in the future. ”

Wang was very modest, and said with a smile: "It is appropriate to take care of each other, and I am also a person from Huaishu Village." In two days, I went to visit my aunt, and when I was a child, she brought me candy to eat. ”

"The years are merciless, and they pass in a flash. You think of when you were a child, and in the blink of an eye, the orchids were so big. ”

"No, I'll be old in two years, and I won't be able to watch it. Last time we came to the preface, I was only two years older than you, and I looked like I was ten years older than you. ”

"How come, sister, you are still so young and beautiful."

Yunzhu's flattering words made Wang very comfortable to listen to, but Wang knew very well in his heart that youth was about to slip away. She envied Yunzhu, envied Yunzhu's good looks, and envied Yunzhu's courage, a woman can make a career out of her appearance, and she envied Yunzhu even more for having a pair of wonderful hands that can make delicious dishes.

Wang pursed his lips and smiled: "If there is any way to make money in the future, don't forget our family." ”

Yunzhu smiled and nodded: "Naturally not." ”

The Wang family left Yunzhu for dinner, but Yunzhu was worried about her mother-in-law who was alone at home, and she was afraid that it was not a habit to move here just now. He declined Wang's kindness, went home and had dinner with his mother-in-law, and then packed up and went to the general's mansion again.

This time she had experience. I didn't dare to go up from the main gate to ask for help, so I went directly to the back door and asked people to help pass the word. Immediately after that, someone led her into the house. It's still that room, and it's Qiu Yue who receives her.

But this time Qiu Yue looked smiling, very gentle and amiable.

"Our lady wants to see you."

"Huh?" Yunzhu didn't have much to prepare.

Qiu Yue only thought that Yunzhu was afraid, and patiently said to her: "Our lady is the most generous, don't be afraid." She loved the rose dew you gave last time. It must be a smart woman who can make such a delicious thing. Madame is very curious, so I want to see you. ”

Yunzhu said: "Thanks to Madame, she can afford to be small." ”

Qiu Yue smiled and said, "Come with me." ”

Yunzhu followed behind Qiu Yue with some trepidation, bypassing a hall. After a covered building, I walked along the gravel for a while. When they arrived at the gate of a courtyard, the maids bent down to Qiu Yue, and Yun Zhu guessed that Qiu Yue must have a place to speak at the general's wife. He is a person who should not be underestimated in this house.

In front of a small red building. A purple magnolia tree has already sprouted buds, and a few sparse flowers have bloomed in a hurry. The maids and servants who came and went were all in good order. At this moment, Mrs. Shangguan is not in the main hall, and in the side room here, a maid has already lifted the curtain for them. Qiu Yue entered with her waist in her hand, and Yunzhu followed.

As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a burst of fragrance, but it was not like ordinary incense, and the air was filled with the fragrance of jasmine. It's very fresh and pleasant.

At the top of the rosewood throne sat a noble lady, looking down at something. When he heard footsteps, he looked up. smiled: "It's Qiuyue." ”

Qiu Yue said respectfully: "Yes, madam." ”

Mrs. Shangguan folded the letter in her hand, and said with a smile to Qiu Yue, "I sent someone to send a letter back." ”

Yun Zhu listened in surprise in the back, thinking that they had gone to the front line? What about peace? She clenched her fists secretly. His chest was pounding, and he was even more nervous than he had been here.

As if she hadn't seen Yunzhu, Mrs. Shangguan gossiped with Qiuyue: "How is the old lady's birthday arranged?" ”

Qiu Yue agreed, "The tasks have been assigned." Madame, please rest assured. ”

Mrs. Shangguan smiled and nodded: "I am naturally relieved that you are doing things." ”

Qiu Yue rushed to introduce: "Madam, this is the ...... who came to our house last time to deliver Ban Duck and Qinglu" She didn't know what to call Yunzhu for a while.

Yun Zhu hurriedly took two steps forward, and respectfully blessed the lady: "The woman greets the lady." ”

Mrs. Shangguan's eyes moved to Yun Zhu, and saw that Yun Zhu was wearing a green dress, holding a round bun, and the clothes were very simple, and the fat powder was not applied, but it was a little elegant.

"I heard Qiu Yue say that the bottle of rose dew you sent was made by yourself?"

Yunzhu replied: "It was the women themselves who boiled it." ”

"It tastes so good and the fragrance is strong. It's really different from what I've eaten before. Do you have any special ideas? ”

Yun Zhu hurriedly said: "There is no special method. But the flowers are grown by yourself, so let's get a fresh one. ”

Mrs. Shangguan smiled so that her eyebrows were crooked, and her eyes were also crooked, like a crescent moon, revealing a few teeth as white as jade. She asked people to bring a chair for Yunzhu.

The maid followed and served the tea fruit. Yunzhu bowed and bowed.

Madam Shangguan smiled: "Don't be too polite, you are different from their subordinates who serve people." It's the family of the general's subordinates, and we should be moving around. ”

"Madame is generous." Yun Zhu secretly looked at the general's wife, who looked less than thirty, with black hair, combed in a bun, and wore a set of emerald heads. Plum red brocade makeup gown, royal blue soft satin Hunan skirt. He wore two golden bracelets on his wrists, and his fingers were slender and very white and delicate. With long nails, the nails dyed by the golden impatiens are very gorgeous.

Mrs. Shangguan smiled and nodded: "It should be so, when our general left, he also told me to take good care of you." How are you doing at home? ”

Yunzhu replied truthfully: "I just moved from Qingtang." ”

"And where do you live now?"

"It's in Tonghua Lane."

"It's much closer. You'll have to come in and talk to me. ”

Yunzhu replied with a smile: "I hope Madame doesn't think the women are stupid." ”

Mrs. Shangguan smiled: "How come, when I have time in the future, I will ask you how to make this dew." I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I have a lot of experience in cooking. Our general still loves to eat the food I cook. ”

"Madame is really amazing." To be honest, Yun Zhu thought that Mrs. Shangguan didn't touch the spring water with her fingers. I didn't expect to be able to cook food, and looking at her confident smile, I knew that she must be cooking well.

"When I wasn't married before, my nurse was an expert at cooking, so I learned a few tricks from her. I didn't expect to fall in love later. ”

Yun Zhu hurriedly said: "The little ones also like to cook." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Shangguan thought to herself, which ordinary country woman can't cook.

"Yes, that's why the little one wants to open a restaurant."

Mrs. Shangguan was a little dumbfounded: "Oh, I'm really a class with an axe, let you see the joke." ”

Yunzhu smiled: "Madam, you are too humble. Being able to grab the general's stomach is already remarkable. Immediately after that, Yun Zhu changed his words again, and then asked, "I heard from Madame just now that I received a letter from the general. The little dare to ask, what is the situation of the generals? ”

"Why, your man didn't write back?"

Yunzhu shook her head.

Mrs. Shangguan smiled mildly: "It seems that I didn't take care of it, the general's letter didn't mention the war, but just said that he was still practicing to prevent the enemy from attacking." ”

Hearing this, Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and peace was very stable for the time being.

Mrs. Shangguan heard that Yunzhu's cooking skills were also a must, and later the conversation between the two was mainly about eating, and what dishes were cooked and how to cook them deliciously. The two talked with relish, although it was the first time they met, but they were not unfamiliar at all.

Mrs. Shangguan is a lady from an ordinary small family, and she is not a celebrity, but she has to deal with noblewomen everywhere in this circle she is in. She is not a talented woman who knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and what she has mastered is just some of the most ordinary women's skills. Cooking, needlework. If the general's clothes are torn, she sewed them with her own hands. So for a while, she felt that she couldn't talk to the people in this circle. She also knew that some ladies behind her were laughing at her, and after seeing Yunzhu, she was able to talk to Yunzhu very loosely and defenselessly.

By the time Yunzhu returned to Tonghua Lane, it was already waning.

"Mother, I learned from my wife that Ping An has been fine lately. I heard that I was still practicing. ”

"yes, I think about him every day. Hey, it's been so long since you've been away from me for the first time. By the way, did you see the general's wife this time? ”

Yunzhu said: "I saw it, Madame is a little different from what I imagined. ”

"What's the difference?"

"He looks very dignified and majestic, but he is actually a very amiable person. She also told me that she likes to cook the most. ”

"Then you two must have a lot to say."

"yes, that's why I didn't come back until this time." (To be continued......)
