During the banquet, Pei Lin said to Xue Wu: "Sister-in-law, I still want that ball." ”

The demeanor and tone are like those of a child.

Seeing this, Mei Jiqin couldn't help but be a little surprised, how could this Huo Gongzi seem to be a little abnormal?

Xue Jun explained to her in a whisper: "Sir, my brother-in-law was seriously injured and had amnesia before, and he only remembers things when he was a few years old, so he is like a child." ”

I see.

Mei Jiqin couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Xue Wu in her heart, she also felt that she and Huo Gongzi were really a match made in heaven, the two stood together like a beautiful jade and a jewel, they really matched, who knew that Huo Gongzi had become like this.

However, looking at the appearance of the two when they get along, they are very close to Le, and Miss Xue is also very cheerful between her eyebrows, without the slightest shade, you know that she does not have a grudge, but lives a good life.

In this regard, she couldn't help but have a trace of envy in her eyes.

Mei Jiqin's nurse was led down by the maid to eat.

The meal of the next person is also quite rich, there are two meats, two vegetables and one soup, placed on a long wooden table, the nurse saw it, and secretly said.

A maid served her a bowl of rice, "What do you call the eldest lady?" ”

The nurse hurriedly took it, "My surname is Shen, you can just call me Aunt Shen." ”

There were six people sitting at the table, including the nurse, and the remaining five were all the female servants in the house, and the male servants ate at the other table.

The meals were large and filling, and the taste was good.

Naturally, these dishes are all produced in Xue Wu's own vegetable garden, and the ingredients that are usually eaten at home, as well as the ingredients used to make snacks in Zhao Ji's shop, are also derived from the vegetable garden.

Now the vegetable garden is taken over by Xue Qing and Xue Xiu, and they have raised a group of domestic animals according to Xue Wu's instructions, including chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows and sheep.

In the future, Xue Fu will not need to go out to buy vegetables at all, and his own vegetable garden will be able to supply it, and it will be more than enough.

In the hall, when it was almost time to eat, Xue Wu scooped a bowl of chicken soup for several people on the table.

"Sister Mei, come."

Mei Jiqin hurriedly stretched out her hand to take it and drank slowly.

The chicken soup is delicious and indescribable, and every dish on the table is so delicious that people can't wait to swallow their tongues, Mei Jiqin secretly touched her somewhat swollen lower abdomen, and blushed secretly.

If you are not careful, you will eat too much.

Earlier, the sister-in-law said that the dishes she cooked would make her unable to stop eating, and she thought it was an exaggeration, but she didn't expect that after she actually ate it, she realized that it was not an exaggeration at all.

After the meal, several people sat together drinking tea and chatting, and Mei Jiqin asked, "Why don't you see your aunt?" ”

Xue said: "Our family recently opened an embroidery workshop on Niujiao Street next to it, and there are a lot of things, my mother basically stayed there during the day and returned at night." ”

Mei Jiqin sketched the image of a shrewd woman who was busy with her career in her heart, and as a result, she listened to Xue Wu: "Sister Mei doesn't have to worry, my mother is gentle and easy to get along with." ”

Xue Wan then told the situation of the rest of the family, so that Mei Jiqin could have an understanding of her own situation.

After chatting about the end, Xue Wan finally confirmed with a smile: "Sister Mei is willing to come to our house to be a female gentleman?" ”

Mei Jiqin was not embarrassed, and nodded generously: "Yes." ”

After this morning's understanding, she felt that Xue Jun was simply her ideal teaching object, and Miss Xue also fully demonstrated her sincerity to herself.

It's just that she has to explain one thing in advance.

"I taught a lesson to the girl of the Jia family in the east of the city before, and the mother of the Jia girl had some misunderstandings about me, and last time she found the Wenyue Nunnery where I stayed, and told me to get out of Fengchi."

When she said this, Mei Jiqin's tone was very flat, and her expression was calm, obviously calm, but Xue Jun showed a worried look.

"This Mrs. Jia seems to have a gang background, I'm not sure if Mrs. Jia will implicate you because of me."

Xue Wu patted her hand, "Sister Mei don't worry, since you are already Jun'er's husband, you are the person I cover, I won't let you have anything to do, you can live here with peace of mind in the future." ”

She said this quite a bit of a charlatan, but Mei Jiqin's heart warmed, it was the first time someone told her to cover her and not let her have anything to do.

Now that the matter has been confirmed, the next step is to go through the charter.

Xue Wu took out the deed, "Sister Mei, take a look, you can still be satisfied with these conditions, if you are not satisfied, let's discuss it again." ”

This deed indicates that there is an employment relationship between the Xue family and Mei Jiqin, and the time is tentatively set for three years.

It also displays the various benefits that the Xue family should provide, such as food and housing, ten taels of monthly money, how many sets of clothes to make every quarter, etc., which are all listed in it.

The conditions for Mei Jiqin were relatively lenient and no specific requirements were put forward.

It can be said that this deed is very conscientious.

Where will Mei Jiqin have any dissatisfaction? He immediately signed his name on the deed and stamped his seal.

Xue Wu also left her name in the employer column.

"Miss Xue—"

"Sister Mei, we are already so familiar, you can just call me sister-in-law."

Mei Jiqin smiled and was as kind as flowing: "Sister-in-law, I have to go back to the nunnery to pack up my things, and then say goodbye to the masters, so I won't stay long." ”

"I'll ask Uncle Mu to send you back."

Xue Wan sent her out.

When they came, Mei Jiqin and the nurse were in a rented carriage, after all, Wenyue Nunnery was a little far away from Qingyun Lane.

Mei Jiqin did not refuse.

Uncle Mu drove the car and sent Mei Jiqin and the nurse to the door of Wenyue Nunnery, and after the two got off the car and went in, they turned the car around and left, but after a while, they saw a carriage driving by, followed by a group of people, to be precise, a group of thugs.

"Mei Jiqin, that vixen! Hand her over to me, or Mrs. Ben will smash the door of your broken nunnery!" ”

A woman dressed in gold and silver was helped out of the car by the maid and shouted at the moon hermitage.

A group of thugs stood behind her, looking imposing.

As soon as he heard Mei Jiqin's name, Uncle Mu knew that things were not good, and he didn't leave, so he called a child not far away, gave him a string of money, and asked him to go to Xue Mansion in Qingyun Lane to spread a word.

The child wrote down the words, and the girl ran away.

Uncle Mu came to the front and kept an eye on the development of the situation.

Cao, that is, the woman who came with a group of thugs to ask for someone, after she put that threatening word, Mrs. Mingshan came to Mei Jiqin.

Today, Mrs. Ming-Hui happened to be not in the nunnery, and the affairs were temporarily handed over to Mrs. Mingshan.

Ming Shanshi is too not like Ming-Hui Shi Tai to recite the scriptures, not to ask about the world, but to be tactful and utilitarian, she came to Mei Jiqin, told her about the matter, and emphasized the kindness of the nunnery to her for so many years, which obviously meant that she should not be involved in the nunnery anymore.
