On this day, the carriage of Zhennanhou Mansion stopped in front of the Ye Mansion on Moxiang Street again, and the Wu family, who heard the movement, came out and saw only Dongxue and a seven or eight-year-old little maid getting off the carriage, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Since the last trial release of the list, I haven't seen Lin Wan for more than half a month.

Sure that there was no one else except Dongyun, Wu looked at Dongxue and asked, "What has Wanwan been busy with lately?" I haven't seen her in almost a month! ”

Dongxue let out a long sigh: "It's not that the girl doesn't want to come to accompany the old lady and wife, it's really that there are a lot of various banquets recently, first the flower viewing banquet in the eldest princess's mansion, then the birthday banquet of the old princess of Prince Shun's mansion, and then the full moon banquet of Gao Shangshu's great-grandson, the marriage banquet of the second son of Sun Shilang's mansion, and the banquet of the cousin girl of Luofu...... Ouch, there is a banquet almost every day or two, and the girl can't spare time to go to the vineyard to see the emergence of bayberry seedlings! ”

Chen pursed his lips, very disapproving: "There are really a lot of banquets in this big family, and I don't feel tired and panicked!" ”

"Tired, why aren't you tired! But every family is either an in-law or a family friend, and no one is easy to be dismissive. However, the old lady was old, and only went to the banquet of the eldest princess and Prince Shun's mansion, and the other banquets were handed over to several ladies and grandmothers, second grandmothers and our girls. "Dong Xue is the big girl next to Lin Wan, and she has followed Lin Wan to participate in this banquet and that banquet, and she knows Lin Wan's helplessness the most.

"It's not easy for the wives, grandmothers and girls of big families!" Wu sighed.

"Not really! Our girl doesn't like these bustles the most, if she can come according to the girl's own wishes, it is better to go to the vineyard to see the fruit trees, or stay in the mansion to talk to the old lady and play puzzles with the seventh girl......" Dongxue said and noticed that the atmosphere in the room was suddenly not quite right, and slowly the voice became smaller and smaller, and her eyes couldn't help but secretly turn to Mother Fang, who was waiting by Chen's side.

Fang's mother is Jin Wang's mother-in-law, that is, Dongxue's mother-in-law, she used to be a maid in a big family, and she knows how to touch the mood of the masters.

At this time, he received his daughter's distress signal, and couldn't help but glance at Dongxue fiercely, then winked at Chen, and quietly turned his gaze to Wu.

Dongxue's gaze quietly swept towards Chen, and found that Chen's face was slightly condensed, and then swept to Wu's slightly pursed lips, and the originally stuck brain suddenly flashed and finally understood, and was busy remedy: "In fact, what our girls are most worried about is the old lady and the wife." ”

As he spoke, he motioned to the little maid who came with him to bring the food box she was carrying to Chen: "No, I just had some free time today to make some pastries by myself, so I asked the slave maid to bring them to the old lady and his wife." ”

When the food box was opened, a smell of milk came to my nose.

"It's a snack made by the girl with cornmeal, eggs and milk, and the girl calls it cornmeal cake. When the girl tried it for the first time, the appearance was not very good-looking, and she only gave it to the maids to eat, but although the appearance was not good-looking, the taste was really delicious!

Even the seven girls, who have always loved beauty, clamored to eat this cornmeal cake.

The girl tried a few times before she was more satisfied, and no, she immediately asked the slave to send it to the old lady and his wife to try it.

The girl said that this cornmeal cake is fluffy, delicious and nutritious, suitable for the elderly and children, but you can't eat too much, let alone replace the main meal with pastries. Dongxue chattered again, and when she heard it, Fang's mother couldn't wait to go forward and cover her mouth.

Fortunately, the corn chicken cake attracted the attention of Chen and Wu, and she didn't care about the chatter of Dongxue, so Fang's mother slowly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that when she only had her mother and daughter later, she needed to mention some winter snow.

After Chen and Wu had tasted the corn chicken cake, Dong Xue took out the small burden that had been by her side: "The girl took the time to make a few pairs of thin socks for the old lady and his wife, using the Jiangnan embroidery needle method that the girl learned from the master of the academy, please don't dislike the old lady and his wife." ”

"This is Su embroidery?" Wu picked up a pair of socks and looked at Chen with some uncertainty.

Chen took the socks and looked at them carefully, and shook his head: "I have only heard people talk about what Su embroidery, Hunan embroidery and Cantonese embroidery are in addition to our Shu embroidery. Don't look at me who has lived twenty years longer than you, and I have not seen much more embroidery than you!

Even Su embroidery was only seen from the gifts sent by the Lin family.

However, Wanwan's needle technique is not pure Suzhou embroidery, you see here, it is the authentic Shu embroidery needle technique. ”

Wu took the socks again and looked at them carefully, and sure enough, as Chen said, there are a few techniques used that are authentic Shu embroidery needle techniques, which she taught Lin Wan by herself!

"Wanwan and what else did you bring here?" After tasting the snacks and admiring the socks, Chen found that Dongxue still had a brown paper bag next to him, so he asked casually.

"This is some exam papers that the girl specially asked the second master and the second master to help collect, and asked the slave to send them to Mr. Ji." Dongxue patted the brown paper bag.

"For Mr. Ji? Mr. Ji has already passed the examination, are you sure it is for Mr. Ji? Chen's cloudy eyes were full of doubt.

Dong Xue nodded vigorously: "It's indeed for Mr. Ji!" ”

Wu hurriedly said: "Mother, there will be a palace test after the trial, and only after the palace test will I know whether it is a jinshi or a fellow jinshi." ”

Chen patted his forehead lightly, he was really confused!

However, Lin Wan only collected the exam papers for Ji Kang, which still made Chen a little unhappy.

Ye Qing and his brothers did not participate in this year's examination, but it does not mean that they will not participate in the future, so Lin Wan can't prepare a copy for Ye Qing and them?

"Mr. Ji went out with the old servant, I will collect these papers first, and let people send them when Mr. Ji comes back. Go and talk to your mother. Wu casually glanced at the brown paper bag, and let Dongxue go with Fang's mother.

Chen picked up the kraft paper bag, and found that the kraft paper bag was actually sealed, and his face suddenly became even more ugly, and he patted the kraft paper bag hard: "Wanwan, what does this mean!" It's just a matter of sending a roll to Mr. Ji, and he actually sealed it, this is to prevent Brother Qing from peeking at them?! ”

Wu's brows furrowed slightly, although he felt a little strange in his heart, he still defended Lin Wan: "Mother, Wanwan shouldn't mean that." Wanwan didn't give Brother Qing a lot of information and that book, how could she prevent Brother Qing from them! Maybe it's because I'm worried that Dongxue's rough girl will lose three and four, or maybe the things in it are not suitable for Brother Qing to show them now. ”
