Chapter 372, Peng Shen is shining

Shu'er looked at her and grew taller, probably worried that the Xie family would not be able to live, so there was only one eye-born grandmother behind her, and no one else served, and Cola Kexi and Sister Winnie did not follow, which made Changsheng a little worried.

Although he knew that Mingche was not awarded an official and was bored in the county lord's mansion every day, no matter how bold he was, he would not dare to give Shu'er grievances under Mingche's nose, but Changsheng still couldn't help but worry, if it was really okay, why didn't Shu'er's closest girl come, but only followed a strange grandmother?

This grandmother's dress and bearing do not seem to be a nurturing grandmother, she should be a close servant, and it must have been arranged by the county lord of Anyang, so I don't know what to do with Shu'er. Fortunately, Mama looks clean and kind, and her eyes are thoughtful, not like a person with a ghost in her heart, presumably after Mama Lu's incident, Mingche must be very strict with the people around her daughter, he is a fine person, this convenience will not be sloppy, and there is nothing to worry about when you think about it.

At least on the surface, Anyang did not treat this stepdaughter badly at all, Shu'er was brightly dressed, wearing a gold lock inlaid with rubies around her neck, and the silk flower on her head was wrapped in gold wire in the ********, and each was inlaid with a round and smooth pearl, and the ears were covered with fish-shaped earrings of pure gold, and the fish eyes were inlaid with small rubies, symbolizing more than wealth, very delicate and chic, these ornaments were refined in the palace at a glance, and ordinary people could not buy them if they had money.

Leaving the county lord of Anyang, Shu'er is a child in the end, holding Mingche's hand tightly, staring at her happily and excitedly, looking like she wanted to immediately throw herself into Changsheng's arms, but she was afraid of being rude and endured it, looking funny and distressing.

Changsheng was afraid that she couldn't help but be rude, and even more afraid that she would be too enthusiastic about herself and annoy the county lord of Anyang, so he shook his head with a smile and without being noticed by outsiders.

Shu'er was already precocious, during her days in the county lord's mansion, although she was golden and noble on the surface, that special environment still made her more sensible and clever, and when she saw Changsheng's expression, she immediately understood, and immediately followed her father and stepmother to salute the old lady and other elders, and Changsheng was distressed and relieved to see her look like a little adult.

After the first national salute, the old lady led a group of people to kneel down respectfully and bowed to the lord of Anyang County, and Ming Che took Shu'er to retreat and did not dare to accept the salute of the elders. Anyang had already prepared and gave a heavy meeting gift to the two children who had never met in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Lin Xinhui was suddenly full of joy.

Changsheng looked at Anyang's full honor guard with amusement and stood majestically in front of the gate of the Xie family, with bright splendor, golden light on his head, and bright jewelry, a radiant appearance, illuminating this mountain and rural dwelling, the road is so far, she doesn't think that this clothes and jewelry are hanging on her body and sinks in a panic, maybe her neck is sore now.

The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system, from the princess to the county lord and county lord, from the queen concubine to the lady of the order, there are a full set of clothes and headdresses according to the ration, and the women of the clan also have honor guards, but generally speaking, everyone usually wears civilian clothes, or symbolically wears a few pieces of nothing, and few people wear such a complete set.

Because this full set of embroidery inside and outside three layers of embroidery is very uncomfortable to wear, and the headdress is worn for a long time and the neck hurts, so few people wear a full set of drapes, unless they participate in the court, the ceremony or in special circumstances, Anyang is just a daughter-in-law to come back to participate in the father-in-law's sacrifice day, can you use such fanfare? There is also a guard of honor, although it is greatly displayed in the countryside, but if it is transmitted back to the capital, it will definitely become a laughing stock, and the majesty is not like this.

But it's okay, I can bring so many people, the Xie family can't live, it seems that Anyang won't stay for a long time, maybe tomorrow after the sacrifice will have lunch and leave, even if you stay at most one night, everyone will be at peace when she leaves, but it's a pity that Shu'er can't stay.

Peeked at Mingche who was holding Shu'er to the side and standing in the wind, looking as calm and introverted as ever, did he really tolerate Anyang because of his love for her, or had no choice but to accept Anyang?

Ming Che stepped forward and said to the old lady: "Daddy's sacrifice day, my son returns late, thanks to my mother's care, my mother and my younger brothers and sisters have worked hard. ”

The old lady was still looking at so many people and worried: "As long as I am alive for one day, I will personally plan your father's sacrifice day, not to mention hard work or not." Your family's residence has also been prepared, but there are so many people in the honor guard, it is really too late to prepare, and the place at home is really too small to live, how can this be good? ”

An Yang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the old lady, I and the county master have thought of this problem for a long time, and we know that the family can't accommodate it, so when the honor guard comes, they bring their own tents and pots and stoves for camping, and they go to the village to buy some rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables to cook and eat outside, and they camp outside at night, and they won't enter the house, the old lady and the two younger siblings can rest assured."

Although Lin Xinhui saw that Changsheng was unpleasant everywhere, she did everything possible to please the powerful county lord of Anyang, and immediately stepped forward when she heard the words: "Sister-in-law is polite, although the small family at home can't live, but fortunately, another boiler was installed in the courtyard and some cooks and helpers were invited. Don't let people say that our Xie family is unreasonable."

Changsheng thought about it, this is indeed the case, this Lin Xinhui is quite good at being a person at a critical time, and sure enough, the old lady also nodded happily: "What Xinhui said is, how can there be a reason for people to eat outside?" The county lord is welcome, just do it, there is no way to live at home, but it is absolutely necessary for people to eat well, and there are only 30 people, and they should be able to prepare. ”

Because Lao Xia's family is Mingche's old department, the old lady specially asked them to come out together to greet her, so she asked Sister-in-law Xia on the side: "Less than two hours before dinner, how can the more than 30 people in the honor guard eat quickly and well?" Let's talk about tonight first, and tomorrow's arrangements will be made separately. ”

Sister-in-law Xia is shrewd and capable, and said respectfully: "It's not difficult, people in the surrounding villages to see whose pot stove is clean, give some money to buy noodles and let the village women steam a few pots of white flour steamed buns while they are hot, and then go to the village to buy a big fat pig to slaughter, the meat is cut into small pieces of braised meat, big bones and other things are boiled into broth, and then add some vegetables and vegetables after the soup is cooked, and then each person has a bowl of braised pork and a bowl of water and wine, steamed buns and broth vegetables and vegetables are full to eat, and the storage is fast and good, everyone is satisfied with eating, and there is no mistake in cooking tomorrow." As for tomorrow morning, give more money for the villagers to steam a few pots of meat buns at night and prepare them, heat them up tomorrow morning and send them in, and let's cook a big pot of porridge with broth and vegetables here. ”

The group nodded with satisfaction, and Lin Xinhui asked as if she was able to do so, "What about noon tomorrow?" Tomorrow at noon, there will be many guests in the house, and the stove is busy preparing food for the guests, who will do it for these people? Can't you eat steamed buns and broth? ”

Changsheng thought of the mutton stewed noodles he ate in his previous life, and then thought about the sheep that the village children on the hillside grazed from time to time, and stepped forward and said, "Is this okay at noon tomorrow?" Since the stove of the guard of honor has been brought from so far away, it is impossible to say that it is not necessary to use it, so it is better to buy a few sheep from the village early tomorrow morning to clean them up and send them, cook the meat with their pot stove, and then find a few capable and clean village women to roll some noodles and cut them into slices at home, and after eating the mutton, add some vegetables to the broth and stew some noodles to eat, which is affordable and delicious, and it does not cost a few dollars. ”

Lao Xia nodded hurriedly: "The third lady's idea is good, those villagers eat noodles every day, the village women roll noodles quickly and well, and the cooking meat does not occupy our stove, and it doesn't cost a few dollars to buy sheep in the village, if the sheepskin and internal organs are given to those village women, they only charge flour money for safekeeping, and they won't even ask for manual fees."

The old lady nodded again and again, it was indeed convenient, cost-effective and well-fed, and the county lord of Anyang had to nod and praise, seeing that Changsheng quietly nodded the opportunity, Lin Xinhui said in surprise: "Mother, it's been a long time, let's just stand outside and talk, why don't you let the eldest brother and sister-in-law come into the house to talk?" What to eat and drink tomorrow, it's the same at home, how can there be people who always stand outside, fortunately it's their own family, if the guests are not lazy? ”

Mingche quietly diverted the topic, picked up An Yang and said: "Let's hurry early in the morning, it's not good to get out of the county road, it's really hard for you Since your mother and younger siblings have already prepared the house for us, the county lord will go into the house and rest, and let's talk to my mother at dinner." Shu'er is not allowed to disturb your mother's rest, you go and talk to your grandmother."

Seeing Yushu's wind-like husband speaking warmly in front of his in-laws, his expression was full of worry, Anyang made enough face in front of everyone, especially in front of the two concubines, and suddenly his eyebrows were overjoyed, and the arrogance in his expression suddenly disappeared, and he immediately smiled sweetly, and then entered the courtyard gate, Changsheng estimated that she was also overwhelmed by the full head of jewelry, and wanted to go back and change into casual clothes as soon as possible.

Changsheng knew that Mingche was afraid that Anyang would make everyone uneasy when he entered the house and make trouble, so he coaxed her to rest, as for Shu'er, he purely wanted to leave his daughter more time alone with him, but he did this, can Shu'er understand? Will she feel that her father has snubbed her? couldn't help but look over quietly, but saw Shu'er winking at her, and her heart was happy and relieved, she understood all the clear intentions.

Leng Buding Anyang turned around and asked, "Brother and sister have always been good?" I've missed you a lot since you're gone. This time I need the help of my younger siblings, which is a great joy, so don't shirk it."

Changsheng was a little surprised, what could she do to help a county lord? I didn't know how to answer, but Mingche grabbed An Yang: "Let's not talk about housework first, you have been in the car for so long, and you will have to hurry after going to the grave tomorrow, so let's rest first and then talk slowly." ”

An Yang nodded and let Changsheng go, Changsheng and Mingjing exchanged a look, it seems that they will stay for one night and leave, but what does she need help with?
