In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Jiang walked out of the house, as usual, first went to buy vegetables and meat, and then went to the Shen family on Shuyuan Street to work.

Like the early risers on the street, she carried a basket of vegetables and whispered: "Two handfuls of green vegetables, a piece of tofu, a pound of pork, a pound of pork ribs, and a handful of green onions. ”

"Mrs. Jiang, what are you talking to yourself?"

A person jumped out and stood in front of her, Mrs. Jiang didn't need to look to know who it was, she put on a smile that looked very sincere, and asked, "Ouch, it's Brother Cake, you came out so early?" Have you had breakfast? ”

The flatbread squinted at Mrs. Jiang, looking like she was holding chicken feathers as an arrow.

"Mrs. Jiang, Qi Shao is back, he asked about you as soon as the old man came back, you said how much he attached importance to what you did."

Flatbread has a rich expression when he speaks, even if he is holding chicken feathers as an arrow, his posture is very in place.

Mrs. Jiang blinked, and her face suddenly changed to an expression of gratitude and satisfaction.

"Qishao attaches so much importance to me, and the old woman has no regrets even if she is stupid."

The big cake grinned and took a step back in disgust, for fear that Mrs. Jiang would hit the ground headlong for the sake of showing her loyalty, and her brain would splash all over him.

"Okay, okay, next time change the word, you don't think it's disgusting, I still think about it."

The corners of Mrs. Jiang's mouth twitched, and a gentle smile overflowed: "Brother Biscuit, you came here specifically to tell your mother-in-law about this?" ”

"Of course not, Qishao asked me to ask you, do you only make human meat buns, and you can't do anything else?"

"What?" This time Mrs. Jiang didn't pretend, she was really taken aback. It has been many, many years since the human meat bun incident, and her man and son have long been no longer butchers, and of course she doesn't steam the buns anymore.

"Don't pretend, don't you know how to cook?" The flatbread became impatient, why did he discuss human meat buns with Mrs. Jiang? Affect his good appetite for the day.

Mrs. Jiang's mind spun fast, in her life, except for not doing good deeds, she has never done anything, what has she never seen?

She immediately became aggrieved, snapped her fingers and said, "Mrs. Shen likes to eat my fried green vegetable tofu, stuffed tofu, and home-cooked tofu; The eldest girl likes to eat my steamed red date rolls; The second girl is never picky, she eats everything, but she doesn't like to eat anything, no matter how delicious the dish, she just eats a few bites, the mother-in-law is stupid, and I don't know what the second girl likes for so long. ”

The eldest girl in Mrs. Jiang's mouth is Xinyu, and the second girl is Shen Tong.

"Miss Shen has three new children by her side, do you understand?" Flatbread asked again.

"Han Wuji, Ah Shao and Xiaomei, those three children live in Xu An's house next door, the second girl doesn't move, they don't move, but no matter where the second girl goes, the three of them all follow. I asked Fang Fei, and Fang Fei said that the three children wanted to repay the kindness, but they didn't know how to repay the kindness, so they followed the second girl, either slaves or servants, that is, they followed, and one day the great favor was repaid, and they left. ”

After listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, she said, "How is the eldest girl of the Shen family lately?" ”

"The eldest girl is well-behaved and obedient, and she does not go out of the door every day, but accompanies her wife to do needlework at home. Her needlework is really good, Mrs. Shen's needlework is also good, mother-in-law and I have lived a long time, and I have never seen anyone better than the two of them. The eldest girl talks about the second girl every day, and the younger sister is longer and the younger sister is short, as if she lives for her sister. ”

Da Bi listened carefully to every word of Mrs. Jiang, and kept every sentence in his heart, he wanted to recite these words to Qi Shao as they were.

"In addition to you, who else does Miss Shen have dealings with on weekdays?" Of course, these words of the cake were all said by Xiao Ren, although Shen Tong had returned from Yulin, but the cake felt that he was still a pigeon, a snow-white pigeon, a beautiful pigeon.

Mrs. Jiang didn't think about it, and said: "Miss Shen doesn't go out on weekdays, but on the first and fifteenth day of every month, she will go to Deyin Temple to worship the Buddha, and once Mrs. Shen also went with her, but after she came back, Mrs. Shen was too tired to do anything, and since then, Mrs. Shen has never gone to Deyin Temple again. ”

Deyin Temple is in the city of Xi'an, the temple is not big, but because it is located in the city, so the usual incense is very vigorous, and the fifteenth day of the first month is even more crowded.

"Did Miss Shen go to Deyin Temple by herself? Didn't you follow along? ”

"I understand what you said, mother-in-law. There were a few times when I offered to go with me, but Miss Shen politely refused, saying that Deyin Temple was in the city, nothing would happen, and that the people in the yamen would patrol the neighborhood every day, but it was safer than other places, so I asked me not to worry, instead of following her to the temple, it was better to take care of Mrs. Shen at home. ”

As she spoke, the mother-in-law looked up at the sun in the sky, and the hour was not early.

"In other words, Miss Shen won't even let you follow?" Flatbread asks again.

"Yes, once I deliberately said that the three girls of Master Li's family in this alley are about the same age as her, and the three girls often go to Deyin Temple to offer incense, so it is better to go with the three girls of Li. Miss Li San was about the same age as Miss Shen, and when I said that, I thought I could help Miss Shen to deliver a letter to Miss Li San and invite her to sit at home. But before I finished talking about these thoughts, Miss Shen said coldly, in the matter of worshipping the Buddha, as long as you are sincere, you don't have to stick to anything else. That meant that she didn't want to go with that Li San girl. ”

Mrs. Jiang is a little embarrassed, she has been working in the Shen family for almost a year, she doesn't know anything about the second girl Shen, but when it comes to Miss Shen's joy, she can say a lot.

"Okay, you continue to do your thing, and take good care of Second Miss Shen on weekdays, who Second Miss Shen is, I'm afraid you already know." When the flatbread was finished, it disappeared behind a few tall poplar trees.

Mrs. Jiang continued to walk forward, as if nothing had happened just now, and he continued to recite silently over and over again: "I want to buy green vegetables, buy tofu, buy a pound of pork and a pound of pork ribs, and a handful of green onions, alas, I almost forgot, and I have to buy two pennies for oranges, and the loaches must buy the big ones, and you must not buy the small ones." ”
