After squinting in the house for a while, he went to Mingxiang Building, and saw that Liang Yu was busy cooking in the kitchen, so he also stepped forward to help: "When did you come back last night?" The yamen didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

"Nope." Liang Yu was making a pumpkin cup, looked up at the peppercorns, and said with a relaxed expression, "I just asked the reason, and before I could be locked up, he let me go, which is quite inexplicable." ”

The yellow pumpkin was seeded, and glutinous rice, dates and raisins were placed in it.

One pot can steam ten.

Liang Yu's dishes are changed almost every two or three days, and Mingxianglou's recent business has exploded.

"It's good if you don't embarrass you." Sichuan pepper helped him put the pumpkins in the pot one by one, these pumpkins were planted by Pei Chunshan in Huxiaogang, I heard that this year's bumper harvest, picked several cars, Liang Yu saw it, and asked Xu You to pick some good-looking ones to come over and make pumpkin cups, Mingxianglou had never served this dish before, and even other restaurants had never heard of pumpkin cups, which should be able to sell well.

"Some people see that our Mingxianglou business is good, and their eyes are red!" Liang Yu made a pumpkin cup, washed his hands, and let Xu You make a fire to cook, "The owner doesn't have to worry, it's all a trivial matter, and it won't scare me." ”

"That's also because of Mingxianglou, which made you suffer from this, and I don't want to go." Huajiao said, "I think you will still live here in the future, if you don't want to live here in Mingxianglou, there are also vacant rooms on the side of the Lu Restaurant." ”

Although Liang Yu is an internal guard, Hua Jiao feels that he is not an opponent.

If he were going to attack them, he wouldn't have to wait until now.

Of course, even if there is anything, it is better to live close than far away, at least under her nose, she can pay attention to his every move.

"Thank you, no need, I'm used to living there." Liang Yu said with a smile, "I'm a person who recognizes the bed, and I can't sleep on the ground, so forget it!" ”

"Whatever you want." Sichuan pepper will no longer insist.

Lao Guantou made flower rolls on the side of the noodle case, which was made of white flour and cornmeal, rolled up in yellow and white, and it was also very good-looking, Dachun Xiaochun returned to his previous honesty and honesty, the two were sitting on the ground peeling onions and garlic without raising their heads, Liang Yu glanced at a few people, and asked: "I heard that the original owner of Mingxianglou was Sheng Mingyan?" ”

"Yes, do you know Sheng Gongzi?" Pepper almost forgot about this person.

"Acquaintance, I heard that the Sheng family booked him a family affair, he didn't like it very much, he went to Yunyou more than half a year ago, his whereabouts are uncertain, no one knows where he went, but if he appears in Mingxianglou tomorrow, I am not surprised at all." Liang Yu rarely talked much, and continued to chat with Huajiao, "Others are tired of traveling and traveling most of the time, he is different, I heard that there are their own houses in various places, and there will be no more than a day's journey between the two houses, so he is familiar everywhere, and when he finishes shopping, he will rush to the next house, and almost no need to live in a guest house, that's it, this year, he may not be able to live in all the houses." ”

"Sheng Gongzi is really a free and easy person." Sichuan pepper laughed.

If Liang Yu wasn't an internal guard, she could still talk to him a little more.

But he is.

Lin Feng stayed in Mingxianglou for dinner, and then left to return to Xianling Island later.

Pei Ze kept sending him to the dock to take a boat, Lin Feng got on the boat, and said; "I know you don't want to do this, but I still hope you think about it, I'll come back in five days, if you want, let's go to Beijing together."

"Okay, I'll give you an answer in five days." Pei Ze bowed, "I will consider it seriously, you can rest assured." ”

Huajiao has been busy in Mingxianglou until the closing before returning to the new house, it has been past the time, Zhang has already taken Xuan'er to sleep in the east wing, in early spring and February, the weather is warm and cold, Wang took a curtain to cover the window and the door of the wing, saw Huajiao come back, and whispered: "Xuan'er just slept, don't come over to disturb, clean up and sleep!" ”

Since Huajiao went to Tongcheng to pick up Pei An, Wang's attitude towards her suddenly became much closer.

but never mention the silver.

Even if it really cost 10,000 taels, she wouldn't ask.

Maybe in the eyes of the mother-in-law, the silver of the two of them is blown by the wind, and the flowers are not spent.

Pepper turned around and went back to the main room.

I didn't see my son for most of the day, her heart was empty, and she had to take time out to accompany her son in the future.

The house was as light as a bean.

Pei Ze was sitting in the coat room and talking to Pei Chunshan: "Ming'er, I'll go to Huxiaogang with you to take care of the medicinal materials, the ones that should be supplemented, the seeds that should be planted, some medicinal materials can be sold this year." ”

"Don't worry about this, Boss Tu of Jirentang has already gone over to see it, and he said that he wants the medicinal materials of Huxiaogang." Pei Chunshan drank tea, "Wang Qi also said, just for you to recover 30,000 taels of silver from him last time, he will not treat us badly in terms of price, not to mention, those medicinal materials in our Tiger Roaring Gang are all first-class and good, not to mention Boss Tu, it is the shopkeeper of other pharmacies in the town, and he has also seen it, even if Jirentang doesn't want it, he doesn't worry about selling it." ”

Seeing Huajiao coming in, Pei Chunshan got up and said, "You guys rest, I'll go back." ”

"Dad, sit down again." Huajiao carried the kettle and poured tea for the two, and said with a smile, "Catch Ming'er, I'll go to Huxiaogang with you to have a look." ”

"It's very cold in the mountains, so you don't need to go." Pei Chunshan drank the residual tea in his tea bowl, waved his hand and said, "Brother Xuan is still young, you can take care of the children at home if you are free, I will go with the third child to have a look, I have taken care of the medicinal materials for more than a year, and I am familiar with it, and I am here when you are done!" ”

After Pei Chunshan left, Hua Jiao sighed with emotion: "Dad is so good, with Dad here, we don't have to worry about family affairs." ”

She really can't say a word to this father-in-law.

Maybe he doesn't have any ability, but he is good to his children, hard work, and never complains.

"So you gave him two hundred taels of silver and asked him to pay off the debt to the second brother?" Pei Ze looked at her with a smile, "You, if you are a person, you will sympathize, do you know that if his father pays him back the silver, he will be even more emboldened to gamble." ”

"Hmph, you don't know the scene at that time, I don't sympathize with your second brother, I sympathize with your father." Speaking of this, Hua Jiao was a little angry, "People in their fifties, crying and wiping tears in the alley, I can't go down to that heart, but I gave my father silver on the front foot, and let my mother search for it on the back foot, and this silver is not a dowry for Yingzi." ”

Pei Ze frowned.

"Give it and give it, I won't say anything, but my mother also asked us to wrap the dowry of Yuanyingzi......" Speaking of this, Huajiao looked at Pei Ze again and asked, "By the way, did you go to Yucheng to buy a box?" ”

"I forgot." Pei Ze raised his forehead and asked Sichuan pepper again, "Can't you buy it in the town?" ”

"Didn't I tell you that the wooden crates in town are old-fashioned?" Sichuan pepper was a little speechless, Pei Ze said calmly: "It's okay, just put your clothes away, just buy them in the town." ”

"Forget it, when I didn't say it, you can do it!" Huajiao took a cloth towel to the clean room to wash, Pei Ze followed, hugged his chest and said: "You are a sister-in-law, you accompany your mother to the town to have a look, there are two boxes horizontally and vertically, let's buy them!" "How can he have time to buy a dowry box for Pei Ying.

"What your mother told you, let you buy it, and I won't mix it up." Hua Jiao glanced at him and came out of him sideways, "I have already seen it, no matter how good I am to you, you will not treat me as your own, don't you have to look for you if you have something to do?" ”

Wang muttered to Pei Ying all day long, and he didn't know what to say.

As long as she goes, the two of them will either shut up or change the topic, as if she is guarding against her, she will go to buy a box for Pei Ying when she is full.

Pei Ze smiled, stretched out his long arms, and took her in front of him: "Who treated you as an outsider?" My mother is also your mother, you grew up beside her, and she treats you as a daughter. ”

"Don't, your mother is your mother, not my mother." Hua Jiao looked up at him and said, "Even if I grew up next to her, she is just my mother-in-law." ”

"What? Have an opinion about your mother-in-law? Pei Ze picked her up by the waist, pressed her down on the bed, and looked down at her expressionlessly, "If you have any opinion to me, I will call the shots for you, the pillow wind is very effective......"

……

In the morning, Sichuan Jiao sat in front of the dresser and rubbed for a while, using a thick fat powder to cover the red marks on her neck, and deliberately changed into a high-necked shirt.

Pei Ze held the child in the coat room and waited for her to go to dinner together, and when he saw her come out, he said with a smile: "My mother has urged her twice, what are you rubbing?" ”

"I'm sorry to ask." Hua Jiao glanced at him, stretched out his hand and hugged the child and went to Wang's house, Pei Ze understood, smiled and said nothing.

There is a dining room here in the new house, and the weather is still cold, so the Wang family is afraid of the charcoal, so there is no fire.

Originally, Brother Xuan ate in the main house, but today the pepper got up late and went to Wang's house.

During the meal, Wang talked about the dowry box again, and said to Pei Ze: "You have to buy the dowry box quickly, you can't wait until next month to buy it." ”

"I originally wanted to go to Yucheng to buy it, but I forgot it last time." Pei Ze drank a bowl of vegetable porridge and put down his chopsticks, "Let's talk about it next time I go!" ”

"You can't buy it in the town, why do you have to go to Yucheng?" Pei Chunshan interjected, "There are in the town. ”

Wang looked at the pepper and glared at Pei Chunshan: "There is one in the town, but it is not as good as Yucheng, the last time I went to Yucheng, I saw that the three daughter-in-law bought a few mahogany boxes are very good, I want to buy like that, there is no difference of a few dollars." ”

She wondered if the peppercorns wouldn't let him buy them.

But it's hard to ask.

The peppercorns didn't squeak and buried themselves in eating.

Look at what she did, he forgot, and he didn't care about her.

Ryu is also there.

As soon as she mentioned the mahogany box, she shut up and asked Fuwa to eat one by one.

Pei Ying blushed with shame.

Her mother is really, in front of so many people, discussing her dowry box......

"Mother, if you're not in a hurry, remember to bring it back when I go to Yucheng next time, if you're in a hurry, you can buy it in the town." Pei Ze put on his shoes and went down to the kang after eating, "I think the wedding date has not been decided, so there is no need to worry." ”

"Isn't it because of Brother An'er's delay!" Wang said unhappily, "I've almost bought everything else, but there is no box for it, so you have to be careful about this." ”

"Got it." Pei Ze turned his head to look at the peppercorns, and said warmly, "I went to Huxiaogang with my father, do you have anything else to bring?" ”

"Nothing to bring." Hua Jiao looked at him strangely, what else did Hu Xiaogang have to bring, touching his smiling gaze, she suddenly felt that her face was hot, she lowered her head and continued to eat, Pei Ze still stared at her, and coughed lightly: "Didn't you say that I would help you pick up some pebbles and come back?" Don't want it? ”

"Yes." Only then did Hua Jiao remember, and looked up at him, "You bring more back, the smaller the better." ”

"Okay, I promise to keep you satisfied." Pei Ze said, took the kettle and poured her a bowl of water, and instructed, "You drink more water, I see that your lips are a little dry." ”

Pei Chunshan walked out expressionlessly.

Wang and Liu coincidentally looked at Pei Ze and then at Hua Jiao, when did the third child become so considerate...... It's scary.

Sichuan pepper picked up the bowl and took a sip: "Go quickly!" ”

After Pei Ze went out, Pei Ying joked about pepper: "The third brother is so good to you, I haven't seen him so careful with anyone before!" ”

"It's just a bowl of water." Sichuan pepper is a little embarrassed.

This man is really ...... He did it on purpose, right?

I can't get up late in the future, and the family is waiting for dinner, and I really can't help it.

"Oh, brother and sister, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings, I've been married to your eldest brother for almost ten years, and I haven't seen him pour me a bowl of water to drink." Liu Shi said sourly, "It's still the third child who knows how to be considerate of his daughter-in-law." ”

Originally, she wanted to make fun of peppercorns, but in front of Pei Ying, she didn't have the meaning to say it.

Wang didn't squeak, and he felt very uncomfortable.

If you dare to love, your lips are dry, and she is a mother who smokes in the stove all day long, and her lips are dry?

It took three days for the father and son to finish replanting the medicinal herbs on the side of Tiger Roaring Gang.

Nothing happened over there in the fishpond.

The work in the fields has not yet begun.

Pei Ze is rarely idle at home.

Hua Jiao proposed to take the child to see Gu's, and by the way, tell her about Wuzhi County.

Pei Ze readily agreed, personally drove the carriage and pulled the mother and son to the west of the town to visit the Gu family, Pei Ze went to see the mother-in-law for the first time, bought a lot of gifts along the way and stuffed half of the carriage, so crowded that the mother and son had no place to sit.

The house is not big.

But the victory is that it is only one street away from Jixian Academy, and it is convenient for Wu to go to and from school.

Mother Xu is a diligent person, she is very neat and clean, and she looks very warm.

Wu Wei went to the academy.

Xu's mother and Gu were sitting on the kang doing needlework, and when they saw Pei Ze and Huajiao taking their children to see her, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly made tea for the two of them to drink, and also told Xu's mother to make lotus root flour cake for Sichuan pepper to eat, and Sichuan Pepper pointed to the big bag on the table: "No need, here, you can try it, it is the lotus root flour cake of Wuwei Zhai, and it tastes good." ”

"It's delicious to buy something you make yourself." Mother Xu hugged Brother Xuan'er, rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen, "You talk, I'll do it." ”

The peppercorns had to be left to her.

Pei Ze knew that he was there, and it was inconvenient for the mother and daughter to speak, so they sat down for a while, and then got up and went to Jixian Academy to have tea with Old Master Dong.

Only then did Hua Jiao tell Gu about Wu Zhi County.
