Chapter 349: Family

Although the Sun family did not follow Mrs. Wang's words to move into the idle British mansion, because the original house was too small, they temporarily borrowed the west courtyard of the British mansion. The housekeeper who stayed behind was instructed at first, and said that all the expenses in the house were paid by the public account, but where was the Sun family willing to take advantage of this, and insisted on subsidizing the silver money every month. She has never been a strict person, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, she has to add a month to the people who have been allocated to use it, so naturally everyone said yes.

Sitting on the kang at this time, she teased her little daughter while smiling at Du Juan and said: "The emperor is really sympathetic to his subordinates, knowing that Yue'er has been non-stop this time, and he actually said that he would let him go after the New Year in Nanjing." Since more than three years ago, our family has never celebrated the New Year together, the first year he spent in the British Mansion in Nanjing, the second year he went to Beijing to take care of the British Prince, and the third year he went to Qingzhou. Jing'er is already three years old, and he, who is an older brother, has never been close to him. ”

Seeing Zhang Jing shaking her little hand at herself and calling for a sister-in-law hug, Du Juan suddenly smiled, stretched out her hands and hugged her. The little girl has been raised by Sun's own milk since she was a child, but she likes to touch people very much, and at this time she is tired of squeaking and laughing in Du Juan's arms, and she didn't understand what her mother just said. Looking at her pleasing face, Du Juan, who had no brothers and sisters since childhood, fell in love more and more, and couldn't help but kiss her chubby face.

"Juan'er, while Yue'er comes back, you can also give birth to one quickly, regardless of grandchildren."

"Sister-in-law gives birth to one!"

Hearing Zhang Jingtong's unscrupulous shouting, Du Juan couldn't help but blush. The pearl on the side looked at this scene, and joked with a smile: "The young master will be back in about two days, and the wife may wish to mention the young master at that time." The young master and the young grandmother are so affectionate, maybe it won't be long before they can have a good letter, and in the end, the family will be even more lively! ”

In the past few days in Nanjing, Du Juan has long been familiar with the two big girls of Pearl and Peony, so he glared at him angrily at this time, and then said to Sun: "Mother, didn't you tell me before that Pearl and Peony are old and should be married?" Although there are a few servant servants in front, they can't help but wronged them if they are matched by a random match. I think they might as well let them choose by themselves, if the wife is willing to give up, even outsiders are not impossible, as long as they can treat them well and honestly. ”

Pearl didn't expect the topic to turn around to herself all of a sudden, and she wanted to avoid it when she pulled up the peony, but when she got to the door, she heard Sun shout: "It's all a lifelong event, what's so embarrassing, is it possible that you will stay up in my house for the rest of your life?" Learn from your young grandmother, be generous when you should be generous, even in front of the crown princess. A person as solemn as the crown princess, but she also rewarded her with a painting with an inscription. ”

"What kind of brand name are we, how can we compare with the young grandmother?"

Peony muttered, exchanged glances with Pearl, and then turned around and moved forward, but both knelt in front of the kang, and Pearl, who was still sharp by nature, opened her mouth first: "Since Mrs. and Young Grandma are compassionate, then let's simply tell the truth." Although the people in our third room are not as cunning and cunning, it is difficult to find those who can really be entrusted for life. As for the people outside, we can't see them, and we don't know whether the character is good or bad, if we are greedy for not being a slave and let outsiders hire them as a good couple, we may regret it for a lifetime in the future. So it's not that the slave and the peony don't want to get married, but they are afraid that marrying the wrong person will be miserable for a lifetime. ”

The two girls were selected and taught by themselves, and the Sun family has never treated them as outsiders, at this time, when they heard such words, they couldn't help nodding again and again, and sighed to Du Juan: "They really see it thoroughly, if they are like those foolish people who just want to get rid of their nationality and find a solid family to marry, it is difficult to say how it will be in the future." There are only two or three of those male servants in front of you who are single, and their conduct and appearance are indeed not worthy of them, what good ideas do you have? ”

Du Juan once heard Zhang Yue say that his father-in-law Zhang Zhuo has some industry outside, and at this time he couldn't help but feel moved: "We don't know about the personnel outside, my mother might as well ask my father what he means, presumably he also wants Pearl Peony to find a good family." ”

"Yes, I forgot about your father-in-law!" Sun's eyes lit up immediately, and without thinking, he pulled up the pearl and peony, patted his chest and made a guarantee, "You two don't worry, I will let the master pay attention to you when the time comes, and I will definitely find two young men of the same age and self-motivated!" ”

Zhang Zuo came back from outside, and only stood at the door for a short time before he heard such words, even if he still had something important in his heart, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and immediately picked up the curtain and came in. Seeing that the master and servant in the room were happy, he coughed lightly: "You two are silent, so you sent me another errand!" Okay, okay, I'll pay attention to their marriage, and I'll definitely find a good family for them. ”

Pearl and Peony didn't expect Zhang Zuo to come back at this time, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. Sun and Du Juan also stood up, and Zhang Jing pounced directly on his father. After making a fuss, Peony took off the thick gray squirrel cloak on Zhang Zuo's body, hung it on the carved lacquer hanger of the Yuntou pillar in the corner of the room, and followed him to the inner room, while Pearl took the paper bag in Zhang Zuo's hand and put it on the kang table.

After a while, Zhang Zhuo, who had taken off his coat, came out of the back room, his previous black gauze hat and official robe were naturally stripped off, and he was wearing a half-old black and blue plate-collared satin jacket, and his boots were replaced with home-style cotton shoes. Seeing that Sun had already given up his seat and sat next to Du Juan, he sat on the east end of the kang, and then began to untie the paper bag.

"I've got something new today, so I'll bring it back for you to see."

In a word, everyone in the room was interested, and the pearl peony also hurriedly came over. When the layers of paper were opened, revealing the snow-white frost-like object inside, Sun couldn't help but ask strangely, "Master, what is this?" ”

"It's sugar."

Sun was genuinely confused at this time: "What kind of rarity is this white sugar, there are many cooks!" ”

Du Juan saw Zhang Jing stretch out her finger and put a little frost in her mouth, and hurriedly coaxed her to wipe her hands, and then said thoughtfully: "I remember that the white sugar used in the kitchen is actually yellow sugar, and it is never as crystal white as this." This is still a big family like ours, and I heard that almost all the sugar made by ordinary people is black and blue, and the poorer first-class families can't afford it at all. ”

Zhang Zhuo originally thought that Du Juan didn't know much about cooking, and he might not know this, but at this time, he couldn't help but be impressed, because he smiled: "It's still Juan Er's eyesight." Didn't Yue'er send a group of people to Nanjing before, this is what they came up with in Fujian. There is no place in the world where such white sugar can be made, and even the tribute is not as good as this. I sent a pack of Chengguo Mansion today, if it is good to look back, the dignitaries will naturally switch to this in the future, who doesn't love good colors? ”

"This is made by those people sent by Yue'er?"

Only then did Sun suddenly realize that the eyes of the white frost were different. Although she also knew about her husband's business outside, Zhang Yue could think of this, but she was happy in her heart, and she was happy at the moment. I was about to tell Pearl to take this bag of sugar to the kitchen to make a bowl of sweet soup and try it, when a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Master, Mrs., young grandmother, and the young master's Lingxi girl are back!"

Hearing this sound, everyone in the room was stunned. In a few moments, the Spirit Rhino Autumn Scar and Amber came in through the door and saluted in unison. The Sun family, who was puzzled in his heart, didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ordered the three of them to get up, and asked a series of questions in one go, until she learned that Zhang Yue went to the palace to meet the crown prince and the crown prince, so he would come back later, she was relieved. Zhang Zhuo next to him smiled at this time: "Public first and then private, he is very good, so it saves others from finding faults." In this case, I told the kitchen to prepare a few dishes, and we will have a good family reunion in the evening. ”

"Family? Then do you want to call Hongluan and Brother Go? Sun pursed his lips angrily, and when he saw Zhang Zhuo's face stiffened, he snorted, "That's it, she may not be willing to come over and make rules." Let the kitchen be ready and give her a copy as it is, so that she doesn't have to come over, and she can use it happily there. Also, don't forget to prepare some light meals for Dr. Feng. ”

Seeing that the two in-laws seemed to have some different weather, Du Juan naturally wouldn't get in the way there, so he hurriedly excused himself to go to the kitchen and stood up and retreated, so he had to pull the three Lingxi out as well. She and the others went out on the front foot, and the pearls and peonies also slipped away, and a few people in the courtyard looked at me, and couldn't help but laugh at each other.

At that moment, Pearl and Peony took over the work of going to the kitchen to take care of the words, Du Juan took Lingxi and them back to the house, and before Xiao Wu sat down, he broke into the door curtain and rushed in, still holding a shiny silver needle in his hand.

"Miss, today a master praised me for my ability, saying that so many acupuncture points can be memorized in a day, and the needles are stable and accurate!"

As soon as he heard this, Du Juan, who was still calm and calm in front of the crown princess, couldn't help but have a headache at this time, and praised with a smile before Qiu Zhen opened his mouth to ask: "Okay, good, our little five is naturally a genius!" Look at you and you're still sweating profusely on this cold day, hurry up and go into the house to change your clothes, and the princess will be back soon. ”

It wasn't until Xiao Wu happily entered the back room that she whispered a warning to the three Lingxi: "She is now a closed disciple of Doctor Feng, and she is on the rise of studying medicine these days." Several girls in the inner courtyard are afraid of her now, and the pearl peony is even more hid when she sees it, don't mess with her, otherwise you will have to test the needle when the time comes! ”

Dr. Feng's closed disciple? Spirit Rhino Amber and Autumn Scar looked at each other for a while, and at the same time remembered the thrilling experience this time, and gradually their faces became a little strange. You know, that Doctor Feng's first disciple is a genuine White Lotus Sect leader, so what kind of future will Xiao Wu have in the future? Also, when did Dr. Feng come to his house?
