Chapter 278: Busy Separately
The next day, there was a continuous spring rain in the sky, and a thin layer of water vapor was shrouded between heaven and earth, like the misty and rainy Jiangnan, giving the sun a kind of scattered beauty.
Xuanyuan Mo and Qingwu Qingqi perfected the plan in the guest room.
Xue'er had nothing to do, leading the two maids in the kitchen to cook and perfect the recipes.
Dong Changhe went out early in the morning, and the Yun family couldn't wait for a moment to take the car to the Qian family in Houyushu Village, and took some hairpins and the materials needed to teach his sister to make hairpins.
Everyone has their own things to do.
Mo Shijiu quipped while busy: "County Lord, this time not only do I have a good relationship with Qiao'er, but even His Royal Highness the Idle King also follows the light, and I can personally taste the craftsmanship of the county lord." ”
"I'm just figuring it out, practice makes perfect, and I can't count how good it is!" Cher said modestly.
Her cooking skills have been honed over the years, plus she learned from a chef while working part-time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make these dishes.
Mo Shijiu could think of what kind of life Xue'er had in the past, and the desire to joke was gone.
Qiao'er also felt sorry for Xue'er, afraid that she would remember those unpleasant pasts, so she changed the topic: "What our county lord is best at is not cooking, but piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
It's a pity that the county lord didn't learn to dance, but if he did, he would definitely look good. ”
"If the county lord wants to learn, I can teach, and there is such a thing as dancing when training." Mo Shijiu knew what Qiao'er meant, and took the initiative to contribute himself.
"I'd better learn to ride a horse first, and then I'll have time to teach me." Xue'er didn't want Xuanyuan to teach herself, after all, there is a difference between men and women, beautiful men are eye-catching, you can only look at it, and it's not good if it's over.
"No problem." Mo Shijiu also heard Xuanyuan Mo's words last night, and he didn't want him to teach Xue'er, so he agreed without thinking.
She didn't hesitate to expose herself: "I sent a letter to His Highness last night, and asked His Highness to choose a few good horses to send them, along with the two little princes." ”
Xue'er didn't think so much, she accepted so many gifts from Xuanyuan Che, not a few horses, saving Dong Changhe and asking someone to help buy it.
So she didn't reprimand Mo Shijiu's self-assertion, after all, Mo Shijiu has followed her for so many years, and she has never done anything to be sorry for herself.
In Mo Shijiu's eyes, she is the future princess of You, and she has long been labeled as His Royal Highness the Youwang, which can't be blamed on Shijiu.
"Can I learn?" Qiao'er looked at Xue'er with some hope.
"Yes, as long as you want, what's not to do?" Cher asked rhetorically.
"I'm no problem, the county lord is also a teacher, and one more is also a teacher." Mo Shijiu readily agreed, and winked mischievously at Qiao'er.
In the past few years, she has gotten along well with Qiao'er, and she has long regarded her as a good sister, and she also knows that Xue'er does not treat Qiao'er as a subordinate, she hopes that Qiao'er can be loyal to Xue'er for the rest of her life.
It is not surprising that Qiao'er will also marry with Xue'er to Youwangfu in the future, and it is the right time to cultivate Qiao'er now.
The three of them chatted in the kitchen.
In the brewing workshop, Dong Chengyi is doing the final process.
When Cher entrusted him with the management of such an important workshop, he could not slack off, nor could he leak these important recipes, so he completed the key processes of winemaking alone.
Reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, looking at the flower wine he had brewed, Dong Chengyi smiled with satisfaction.
He is already seventeen years old, he has grown up, inherited the tall man of the Dong family, and also inherited the excellent appearance of the Dong family, and he has grown into a beautiful son.
After reading books for so many years, he has more bookish air that country boys don't have, and his wide and straight back looks like he can rely on others.
In the brewing workshop, there are many young ladies who come to work, and they do the easiest processes, but they get a lot of wages.
Therefore, many young ladies from this village and surrounding villages come to work here.
Some of them are only in their teens, and they are not very old.
What these unmarried little ladies like most is to get together and talk about Dong Chengyi secretly.
Many little ladies are eager to be favored by Dong Chengyi and hired as their wives.
Cai's has been worried about this son in the past two years, especially recently, when her son stopped studying and focused on the winemaking workshop, she couldn't say how uncomfortable she was.
It's a pity that what she said at home doesn't count, and she can't help her children.
So Cai's next goal is to find a daughter-in-law for his son, give birth to a grandson for himself, train his grandson well in the future, and pin his dream of being a wife on his grandson.
But every time I mentioned the matter of seeing each other to my son, my son was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he immediately blew up, making trouble for the Cai family.
I had to sneak in private and look at the matchmaker first.
Dong Chengyi is not disgusted with this matter, mainly because after he went to Chang'an, ordinary little ladies couldn't get into his eyes.
He hopes that he can find someone who can communicate with his heart, and his appearance will naturally not be bad, as long as the family is right.
He didn't let Cai's show for himself, mainly because he couldn't trust Cai's vision.
Dong Chengyi is used to seeing his mother's vulgarity, and he is used to seeing his second aunt's pungency, what he hopes most is to find a gentle and virtuous lady like the third aunt who doesn't talk much, is so beautiful, and is bookish like the fourth aunt.
So he is not in a hurry, he looks slowly, and he can always find the one he likes.
After lunch in the workshop at noon, Dong Chengyi sat alone in his office room to record the results of the morning.
A knock on the door came to his ears, Dong Chengyi did not look up, but simply called: "Come in." ”
"Steward, let's have a cup of tea after a break!" The crisp voice of the little lady who walked in was very good, and she generously persuaded Dong Chengyi, who was still writing with his head down.
Usually the people who come to deliver tea are Aunt Geng, who is a cook in the kitchen, and a little lady comes in coldly, Dong Chengyi is a little uncomfortable.
Don't look at him leading a group of little ladies to do things, he rarely talks to them.
Except for work, there is not a word of gossip.
Dong Chengyi raised his head and saw that the person standing in front of him was a little lady named Geng's, who didn't seem to be able to meet this year.
This Geng's appearance is average, he is a lively person on weekdays, he likes to laugh with those little ladies, and he lives in Jinjiagou.
Her aunt married in Dongjia Village and worked as a cook in the kitchen, and she has been living in this aunt's house since she came to the workshop to work.
Dong Chengyi didn't like such a lively little lady very much, frowned and asked, "Why are you here to deliver tea, Aunt Geng?" ”
Geng didn't seem to see that Dong Chengyi was a little unhappy, and replied with a smile: "Auntie, she has something at home, and she just went back in a hurry, made tea, and asked me to send it to the steward." ”
