Chapter 128, Half-believed

The food in the Heju Hall has been arranged, just waiting for Mingjing to enter the table, but when he saw Mo'er coming in with a food box, he saluted and said with a smile: "Back to the old lady, the eldest lady heard that the kitchen makes flat food today, so she has to wrap some by herself and give it to the old lady to eat, Miss Zhou said that although it doesn't look very good, it is always the filial piety of the eldest lady, so let the slave send it over to the old lady to try." ”

The old lady smiled when she heard this: "This child has a heart, and it is not in vain that I love her every day." Why hasn't Mingjing come over yet? ”

Mo'er didn't dare to slack off, and quickly put down the food box and said: "The eldest lady has to leave the third master to eat with her, the third master just said that she wanted to come, she put down her little face, the third master was afraid that he would come back from afar but cried angry at her, so he had to stay, and it happened that the uncle instructed the eldest lady a few words, and by the way, he gave it to her." I specially asked the servant to come over and tell the old lady, saying that I would accompany the old lady to eat another day! ”

The old lady hesitated slightly, and soon said with a smile: "This child has a heart, not only remembering the old body, but also pulling her third uncle to eat together, you go back and tell Mingjing, let him accompany Shu'er to eat with peace of mind, if the uncle has any instructions, tell Shu'er word for word!" ”

Mo'er saw that her face was calm and smiling, she breathed a sigh of relief, took out the steaming dumplings and dipping sauce, and everyone saw a few messy dumplings on it, knowing that it was Shu'er's masterpiece, and couldn't help laughing.

The aunt smiled while secretly looking at the old lady's expression, but she couldn't see anything, so she picked up an ugly dumpling and put it in the old lady's small plate, and said with a smile: "Shu'er is becoming more and more sensible, the old lady agreed to Miss Zhou to try again, it was really prescient, if she just left, how could the eldest lady become so filial when she was sick?" Uncle has to thank the old lady when he comes back! ”

The old lady looked even more happy, and said with a smile: "It's also clear and visionary, I don't have to worry about Shu'er day and night, Mingche doesn't want to marry a wife for the time being, I just hope that Aunt Bai can get a man in one fell swoop, and when they come back with their son, I will make the decision to let him accept Miss Zhou, and the affairs of the big house will be able to rest easy." Mingjing remarried his wife, and that's how I went, and I also had the face to see the master! ”

After speaking, she took a bite of the dumplings and praised them again and again for their good taste, Miss Zhou taught her well, and Shu'er became more and more sensible. The aunt just breathed a sigh of relief, but the old lady said with a little contemplation: "The taste is exactly the same as what Xinyi used to make, and the cook lady really has to pass it on to her." ”

Aunt Tai took a bite in disbelief, and praised again and again: "It is indeed delicious and delicious, in fact, the cook is the true inheritance of Grandma Lu, she learned all the skills of the young grandmother, and then she was busy taking care of the eldest lady, and passed on all the skills to the cook!" ”

The old lady nodded while eating dumplings, Mo'er wiped a handful of sweat, and quickly said goodbye and left.

After the meal, the two drank gram tea, and the aunt was afraid of disturbing her nap, so she was about to leave, but the old lady said: "Mingjing has performed the crown ceremony, and he has become an adult, and I will ask someone to inquire about the wife of the right age for him." However, he went to Jinyang the next day, don't let him run around recently, stay in the house to accompany them, and take care of his temperament. ”

Aunt Tai remembered Mingjing's stubborn appearance, smiled bitterly but didn't dare to object, and bowed her head in response: "Don't worry, old lady, I will persuade him well." ”

The old lady said: "According to the rules of the Xie family, the wife is not allowed to give birth to a girl who has not entered the door, but he is really not too young, so he doesn't pay attention to this. The bean yellow is bigger than the pepper fragrance, tonight the first round room, tomorrow night round pepper fragrance, tomorrow morning I want to test the white towel. ”

The aunt was stunned, and she never refuted the old lady, but she still said stubbornly: "Why don't you slow down the ****, he returned from a long trip, and he was tired all the way, I was worried that he would lose his body when he was young." ”

The old lady frowned, and was about to object, but her face eased again: "Yes, you are still thoughtful, you can't lose your body at a young age, I want to hold my grandson, and my heart is too anxious." You also know that I have always regarded him as my own, let him not be willful, I will not treat him badly, and when he marries a wife, let the eldest aunt beg Pei Xiangye to find him a good errand, he can't be like this for a lifetime. ”

After speaking, he instructed Shun Gu: "You go to the Treasure Pavilion to bring the master's gold-inlaid jade pen holder, and let people send it to Mingjing, this is what the emperor rewarded the lord back then, and I was not willing to give it to Ming Qing, this time he went all the way to send something to Aunt Bai for me, which is considered to be a reward for him." ”

The aunt thanked her gratefully, and when she saw that the old lady seemed to be tired, she took her leave and left.

As soon as she walked on the front foot, Mrs. Chen, who was serving flowers and plants in Jinshu Courtyard, came, Aunt Shun waved her hand to signal the girls to go down, Mrs. Chen saluted and said mysteriously: "After the third master entered the door today, he couldn't find Miss Zhou and the eldest lady, the old slave told him in the back kitchen, and asked him to sit down in the main house first, the old slave went to call someone, the third master said no, the old slave took him all the way to the back, Miss Zhou was teaching the eldest lady to pack flat food in the kitchen, and the third master kept standing at the kitchen door and looked at them, Miss Zhou saluted the third master after finding out, The eldest lady rushed over and hugged the third master. ”

Aunt Shun interrupted her impatiently: "Who did you say about the third master?" ”

Mrs. Chen didn't dare to make a mistake, and said truthfully: "It's the eldest lady, the eldest lady begged the third master to stay and eat with her, and the third master said that he wanted to come over to accompany the old lady, she was not happy, and the third master was afraid of crying, so she stayed." ”

The old lady nodded, no one in the house knew when Mingjing would come back, and Zhou Changsheng didn't know, it was impossible to teach Shu'er to leave Mingjing to eat in advance, Mingjing had always been obedient to Shu'er, but there was nothing to doubt, and besides, people didn't hide anything, and they also sent someone to bring him a plate of flat food to try, not like a ghost in his heart.

Just as she was about to signal to Aunt Shun to give a reward, Mrs. Chen took a few steps closer and said mysteriously: "Originally, it was nothing, but then the eldest lady was going to sit in the courtyard to eat, and the old slave wanted to hear what they had to say, but the third master drove the slaves away, and the old slave pretended to pull weeds from afar, and saw that they had been eating and chatting, but unfortunately he couldn't hear what he said." ”

The old lady's face was calm and she couldn't see her joy or anger, and motioned to Aunt Shun to reward her and let her go down, and then said suspiciously: "Do you explain whether Jing and Zhou Changsheng have anything to do with it?" I'm confused. ”

Aunt Shun looked at her face and said: "The old slave listened, there is no doubt about today's events except for the third master and Miss Zhou who don't know what to say when they were eating. As for what they said, the old slave thought, Miss Zhou is from Jinyang, maybe ask some customs, maybe the uncle has something to say, and besides, the eldest lady is still on the side, what can they say out of the ordinary? If the old lady is not at ease, she will find out after a little more observation. ”

The old lady nodded: "Mingjing's two rooms are at a good age, and they are no worse than Zhou Changsheng, and Zhou Changsheng doesn't look like a fox, maybe I'm thinking too much, or observe for a while, don't spoil my business." ”
