Chapter 114 There is one less person for each festive season

Shen Mingjun didn't go home at night, so Zhou had to stay with Shen Xi at Huiniang Pharmacy.

There is no need for Hui Niang and Zhou to worry about cooking, in addition to being busy during the day, they can wait to eat ready-made food at night like a young grandmother.

The maids all sold themselves to the pharmacy, and they were not afraid that they would not work hard.

There are red and green children for cooking on the fire, Xiu'er for chopping wood and water, and Ning'er for cutting vegetables and washing vegetables, but it is Xiaoyu, because she is very busy doing accounts on weekdays, and basically doesn't have to worry about things on the stove.

When she was about to eat hot pot on this Mid-Autumn Night, Xiaoyu finished sorting out the accounts, and Hui Niang asked her to sit next to her to rest.

Shen Xi looked at Xiaoyu's somewhat cramped appearance, and couldn't help but smile, this girl was probably afraid that she would be too lazy to be sold by the master's family, but she didn't know that among the five maids who came and went, Hui Niang would not sell her. It's very difficult to find a girl who can read and write, and also calculate the accounts clearly, Xiaoyu has little strength and doesn't have to do heavy work on weekdays, but in the eyes of Hui Niang, she is the most capable one.

When the hot pot was served, Hui Niang asked Ning'er to take out all the holiday things she had bought in the past two days, including preserved fruit preserves, dried fruit candy, and two boxes of moon cakes, which are rare and good things for ordinary people.

"Sister, let's cut moon cakes to eat, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the first year, our two families have just met, and life is not as comfortable as today, now that you have money, you can't be too mean to yourself, you must eat something good." Hey! Speech! elder brother

Hui Niang opened the moon cake box, and the fragrance immediately spread out, and the moon cakes inside were baked yellow, and several maids saw their eyes straight.

When Ning'er brought the cut beef slices, the taste of the festival became a little stronger.

"The beef is chewy, so put it in water and boil it first."

Hui Niang used chopsticks to take out some beef slices and put them in the pot, and put some vegetables down casually, then looked back at the table full of people and greeted, "There are more people this year, the family is lively, it happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have sealed some reward money for you, people come early and late, work diligently and lazily, and the amount of this reward is not the same." ”

As she spoke, Hui Niang took out a few red envelopes with her name written on them from her sleeves, which contained a little loose silver and copper coins, which seemed to be about the same weight, and were sent out one by one.

After the maids took it, they quickly opened it and looked, no matter how much or little they had, their faces were full of joy. In the end, it was a reward for nothing, and Hui Niang suddenly proposed it, which was an unexpected surprise.

Shen Xi peeked at it, Lu'er and Hong'er came late and sent the least, one person had almost two coins of silver, Xiu'er and Ning'er should have three or four coins of silver, Xiaoyu should be the most, the same size of the red seal, Xiaoyu red seal is filled with silver without copper plates, and several small silver bills add up to about one or two.

"It's all collected, and it will be regarded as a dowry in the future, don't spend it indiscriminately."

After Hui Niang finished speaking, she got up and went to the room to take out something wrapped in red cloth and handed it to Zhou, "Sister, this is what I asked me to make for you, see if you like it or not." As he spoke, he uncovered the cloth, and inside it was a gold bracelet, weighing one or two.

Zhou was startled as soon as he got it in his hand, and quickly pushed it back: "What is my sister doing, I can't afford such a big gift." ”

My sister laughed. The quality of this gold cake is not very good, it is pawned by a big family in the city, I bought it and let people melt it, and find a craftsman to build it again, it doesn't cost a few dollars, you don't dislike it...... My sister looks here, and my sister has one herself. ”

Hui Niang said and rolled up her sleeves slightly, revealing the gold bracelet on her wrist.

Zhou drowned her spit, as a woman, she naturally thought about the scenery when she wore gold and silver in the future, but since she married into the Shen family, she knew that she couldn't count on her husband in this matter, and she pinned this hope on her son, but she didn't expect that it had been realized through her own efforts.

"This ...... How embarrassing is this, such a valuable thing will definitely give birth to evil thoughts when it is seen......"

Saying that, Zhou looked at the maids sitting around the table, and several maids quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see them, but they were more and more envious in their hearts.

"Speaking of which, I am your master, but in this family, your aunt is also the master. You don't need to be red-eyed, do a good job, and when you get married in a few years, I will give you a gold bracelet as a dowry. ”

"Thank you, grandma."

When a few maids heard this, they immediately became motivated.

Hui Niang turned back to Zhou and said, "If my sister thinks it's too dazzling, don't wear it outside, who can see it when the sleeves are hidden?" Or just keep it, maybe it will come in handy in the future......" Then she smiled and glanced at Lin Dai who was unknown next to her, the meaning was very obvious, this gold bracelet can be used by the Zhou family as a family heirloom, and when Shen Xi and Lin Dai get married, the Zhou family can give the gold bracelet to his daughter-in-law.

"Yes, yes, in the end, these little guys are cheap, and when I get back, I will also make a pair for our Xiaoxi'er......" Zhou was so happy that he couldn't care about eating, put the bracelet on his wrist, and couldn't help but look down.

Shen Xi was a little dissatisfied: "Send this and that, still can't eat?" ”

Hui Niang smiled and quipped: "Oh, our little shopkeeper is a little anxious...... Come on, let's eat mooncakes first. ”

Hui Niang personally cut the moon cakes, one person can only divide a small bite of the moon cakes, there are many people and few moon cakes, just taste the taste and eat a meaning. After that, Hui Niang took out the beef in the pot, but they were all stuffed into Shen Xi's bowl.

"Xiaolang eats more, this is a good thing, eat it and grow your body...... I told the chicken growers outside the city that they would send a basket of eggs every few days, so that you little ones would have eggs to eat every day. ”

Hui Niang happily sandwiched the beef to Shen Xi, and almost all the beef cooked in the pot was sandwiched into Shen Xi's bowl by her.

Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Auntie, this is too much, you and your mother also want to eat." ”

Zhou scolded: "Stinky boy, have you learned to be filial at this time? This is what your aunt gave you, thank you, if you dare not be filial to your aunt when you grow up, see how the old lady cleans you up. ”

Shen Xi stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly put the beef piled up in his bowl like a mountain for Hui Niang and Zhou, even Lu Xi'er and Lin Dai didn't fall behind, and he also sandwiched a piece of the last five maids, afraid of whom's jealousy caused by the unevenness, and the last time Ning Er thought of trying to seduce him in his room, he was a lot more vigilant.

Hui Niang asked everyone to raise the teacup and said with a smile: "We are women's families, we don't know how to drink, today I will replace wine with tea, and I will toast you a glass." ”

After speaking, she raised her head and drank the tea, and Hui Niang's beautiful face like a delicate flower added a little red halo in the candlelight, as if she had really drunk wine.

After experiencing the initial happiness, Zhou began to sigh again.

Shen Xi knew that the old lady was worried about her husband who didn't even go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even if she ate dragon meat, she didn't have much appetite.
