160 It was done
Zhou Nanniang is still very worried, she and Xiaohuzi are homeless, and this is their last place to stay.
If something is bad and the fifth lady doesn't want her, then she will have to live on the streets in the next few days.
But what did she hear next?
The fifth lady smiled and asked her if she had any plans to find another companion, what did she think of Master Liu, the kitchen steward?
Zhou Nuniang was shocked, and it took a long time to react, the fifth lady is planning to be a matchmaker for her?
She still knows who Chef Liu is, not only is she in charge of the five-room kitchen, but she is also the honorary chef of a spicy restaurant, and she is responsible for developing new cuisines.
Although he is not young, he has never been married before, and he is innocent and has a lot of savings.
I heard that he also bought a property outside.
The young and beautiful little girls in the fifth room are staring at Master Liu with hot eyes, and there are many girls in other courtyards who covet him.
Zhou Nanniang thought about it, but still felt unbelievable.
With such a hot Master Liu, how could the fifth lady think of introducing her to such a widow with a child?
Speaking of remarriage, her deceased husband has passed away for more than a year and a half, and if it is according to the customs of the countryside, it is not a big deal to remarry at this time.
Besides, those people in her husband's family wished that she would marry far away, and never go back, so that they would occupy the dilapidated tiled houses left by her deceased husband forever and ever, and those people would not jump out to care about her.
In the lonely night, Zhou Nanniang occasionally wanted to have a solid shoulder to rely on, so when the fifth lady said it, she said that she was not moved. That must be fake.
But Xiaohuzi is not yet a year old. Her heart and heart fell on Yi'er. For the time being, I don't have the energy and spirit to think about remarrying.
In particular, the object is Master Liu, who is sought after by many beautiful little girls.
Zhou Nuniang couldn't help but feel a little timid.
She lowered her head and thought for a long time, then said hesitantly, "The fifth lady is very grateful. However, I have my own concerns. Let's start with my situation, I'm a widow. I also brought a young child, without my mother's family to rely on, it is equivalent to a rootless duckweed"
Nowadays, when marrying a wife, we all pay attention to marrying the kind of person who has all five blessings, whose parents are in the hall, who has brothers and sisters-in-law, and whose family is prosperous.
Even if they marry among servants, it is not easier for those who are alone to marry than those who have families.
Zhou Nuniang felt that between her five blessings, she did not take any of the blessings. I am not worthy of Master Liu at all.
She thought for a moment and continued. "Besides, Xiaohuzi is still so young, and the fifth lady also takes care of the child herself, so she knows how difficult it is to raise a child, although Xiaohuzi's father has no fame, but he has also studied, I still think that if I have the opportunity in the future, I want to let this child study......"
In these years, it costs a lot of money to train a scholar.
If you just feed the little tiger a mouthful of food and raise it, then you will naturally not worry, but if you want to cultivate it carefully, can Master Liu have this measure to spend that money?
Not every man can do this for the sake of the oil bottle that his wife brings.
In particular, Master Liu is still young, she is not very old, and she will always have her own children in the future.
Zhou Nuniang is afraid, when she has another child in the future, Xiaohuzi will have no future, rather than this, it is better for her not to marry for the rest of her life, rely on her own efforts to take root in this house, do things well, and then provide for him.
Cui Ling understood Zhou Nuniang's concerns, and immediately admired this plainly dressed woman.
If an ordinary woman heard that there was such a good opportunity, she would have been impatient to pounce, right?
But Zhou Nuniang was willing to calm down and think about it, in addition to thinking about the future for her little tiger, she also put herself in Master Liu's position and thought of many questions.
Her gaze softened for a while, and she said to Zhou Nuniang with a smile, "What if Master Liu doesn't mind that you are a widow, he likes Xiaohuzi, and plans to treat it as his own, and is willing to train this child to study well with you?" Are you willing to consider this marriage? ”
Zhou Nuniang's eyes were full of disbelief, but she knew that the fifth lady would never tell nonsense.
In this way, this family affair may be Master Liu's own opinion?
She thought of the kind smile on his face when she had happened to meet the small but very generous man in the yard these days, and that he was always there to help her when she was busy.
She had thought it was just a coincidence, and she didn't take it personally.
Is it really true?
Zhou Nanniang felt that her heart suddenly throbbed like a deer, and two blush unconsciously climbed on her face.
She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly, "Well, if he is willing, I am naturally willing." ”
That's the promise.
Cui Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally lived up to Master Liu's trust and found him a wife.
Zhou Nanniang, who is usually in contact, is not only a careful, considerate and caring person, but also a woman who knows how to empathize with her and consider others in addition to herself.
Master Liu is also a good match.
Women have the talent to be a matchmaker, and the first time she became a matchmaker, she succeeded smoothly, and a sense of pride suddenly came to her heart.
Because she knew that Zhou Nuniang signed a living contract with the government, and it was not considered a slave sale, her son Xiaohuzi was eligible to participate in the scientific examination in the future.
Therefore, Cui Ling assured Zhou Nanniang, "Xiaohuzi is about the same age as my Ke'er, and if Ke'er starts to study in the future, let him study with Mr. ”
She thought for a while and asked, "Then when you take Ke'er with you on weekdays, where do you put the little tiger?" ”
Zhou Nanniang replied, "My distant relative is Mama Rong of Tai'an Hospital, she and her daughter-in-law take turns to take it for me, and recently the fifth master and the fifth lady have personally taken Miss Yi'er during the day, and I will go to see it when I have time." ”
She was honest and didn't hide the fact that she took the time to see her children.
Cui Ling said. "So why bother? You bring the little tiger here. Raised with Yi'er Ke'er. There are so many girls and mothers-in-law in the left and right rooms, can't you find one more person? ”
She laughed and said, "It's a good thing that the children can grow up together." ”
Zhou Nanniang was flattered, but after thinking about it carefully, she still felt that this method was the best, not only to not take her in kindly and cause trouble to her relatives who introduced her work, but also to take Xiaohuzi with her. It's the best of both worlds.
She hurriedly thanked her, "Fifth Lady's kindness, I ...... I can't forget it. ”
The matter was resolved with ease and pleasure.
On the second day, Master Liu knew the result and immediately came to thank him.
Of course, he didn't come empty-handed, but brought a new dish that he had newly developed himself, "Fifth Madam, this is the boiled shrimp I developed on the basis of your boiled beef and boiled fish fillet. It tastes good, do you taste it? ”
It's November now. Shengjing City has already entered winter.
On a cold day, live shrimp is simply a rarity among the rarities, I don't know where Master Liu got such a pot from, and made it into boiled shrimp.
Cui Ling was naturally pleasantly surprised, picked one up and put it in her mouth, the tender taste, the fresh and smooth taste, with the strong aroma of chili peppers blooming in the mouth, achieving a beautiful enjoyment.
This supreme delicacy really pleased her more than any gold or silver jewel was placed before her.
She was overjoyed, "Where did you get these live shrimp?" ”
Master Liu proudly puffed up his small chest and said, "Before, the fifth lady, you asked me to go out and mingle with my peers who I knew before, and there happened to be one who also worked as an errand in the imperial dining room in the past, named Xiao Meng. ”
He smiled and continued, "Xiao Meng's skills are not good, he can't get the qualifications to cook for the emperor's ladies, and he feels that it is boring in the palace, so he spent money to accommodate him out of the palace, he got a fortune a few years ago, and bought a large piece of land in the village at the border of Shengjing City, but he didn't farm like people, and set up a fish farm." ”
Cui Ling's eyes lit up slightly, "Yuzhuang? ”
Master Liu smiled and nodded, "Yes, Xiao Meng has no talent in cooking, but he is very good at fish and shrimp farming, his fry are all transported from the south, and now although the winter is cold, there are still fresh fish and shrimp in his fish pond." ”
He pointed to the shrimp on the plate, "I bought it from him at a high price, and I especially want to thank the fifth lady for her adult beauty and solving my life's major problems for Lao Liu." ”
Cui Ling laughed, "I just said that, it was your own good conditions and sincerity that Zhou Nuniang would agree." ”
She paused, but said seriously, "However, after you and Zhou Nanniang get married, you must be sincere and good to Xiaohuzi, even if you have your own biological flesh and blood in the future, you can't forget your promise to Zhou Nanniang today." ”
Master Liu's expression also became serious all of a sudden, and he said solemnly, "Fifth lady, don't worry, I like Xiaohuzi very much, and I have long made up my mind to be my own child, and there will be no changes." ”
He also asked by the way, "I have discussed with Ah Hui, when we get married, just find three or five friends to have a drink, and then I will have to bother the fifth master and five grandmothers to be a witness." When we become a parent, we still live here, and life is still the same as before, what do you think? ”
Cui Ling said, "You have become a relative, so naturally you have to live together, otherwise what is it like?" ”
She thought for a while, "Sister Yi is the best to bring, she is not clingy." In this way, I will ask someone to find a nurse again, and I will rearrange other jobs for her, what do you think? ”
Master Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "If Ah Hui knew that because he was married to me, he would have lost the opportunity to get along with Sister Yi'er, and he would definitely refuse to marry me." Fifth lady, I'm serious, I still let Ah Hui take care of the child, she is careful, and she really loves Sister Yi, and she is also cooked, and the people she finds again are not as skilled as her. ”
His attitude was very insistent, Cui Ling thought about it, and had no choice but to do it first, "Okay, I'll discuss it with Zhou Nanniang again." ”
As soon as she sent Master Liu away, Mu Hibiscus went back and forth, "Mrs. Shizi of Anning Bofu is here." ”
Cui Ling frowned, Mrs. Shizi? Auntie?
The eldest aunt who has never had anything to do with her, why did she come to her? (To be continued......)
