The magpie stomped his feet in annoyance, and he didn't dare to really do anything to Mrs. Yin, so he sat down again and drank a large cup of tea. At the end, she took out an account book from her bosom and said, "I was taking stock of the accounts just now, so I brought the latest one out." I knew that I would have this free time, so I would have brought a few more copies. ”

Pu Cao liked the straightforwardness of the magpie, laughed and nodded her head, and whispered with her about the small business of the pickle shop. The master and servant drank tea and ate snacks while talking, and when they discussed what new dishes to add, when they looked up again, the sun in the sky had already passed overhead. According to a rough estimate, this Mrs. Sun has been drying them for two hours.

The magpie frowned again, and was about to open his mouth to complain, but when the courtyard door creaked open, and a very well-dressed old woman walked in with the little girl from before.

As soon as the two entered the hall, the old lady hurriedly bowed and apologized, "Oh, today there is a banquet in the house to enjoy the flowers, and the people are busy and make mistakes, but Sister-in-law Zhang has been waiting for a long time." The old slave has already reported to our wife, and the lady is entertaining guests, and will immediately invite Sister-in-law Zhang to sit down, and I hope that Sister-in-law Zhang will not be annoyed. ”

When the magpie heard this lie that even a child did not believe, he was so angry that he jumped up and scolded. Pu Cao motioned for her to put away the side of the account, stretched out her hand to slowly tidy up the folds on her dress, and then looked at the old lady and said with a faint smile, "Mama Lao has come here for a special trip, but although our family is a small family, family affairs and business are also very complicated. It's been a long time to talk about it here today, so we're going to take our leave. Please tell Mrs. Sun that she will pick a spare time for Mrs. Sun to not feast on another day, and Pucao will come to visit again. ”

After saying this, Pu Cao took the magpie out of the door slowly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The old lady stretched out her hand to stop her, but in the end, as if she had seen something surprising, carefully looked at the posture of the cattails, and hurried back to the main courtyard with a strange face...

Fang Jie sat in front of the window and waited for a long time, and finally saw the master and servant of Pucao coming out of Sun's mansion, and immediately checked out and went downstairs to greet him. Dongzi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the magpie pouting and frowning, he looked annoyed, and hurriedly pulled her aside to ask carefully. The magpie was trying to find the original master to complain, but he was afraid that the current master would not allow it, so he felt that it was best to tell Dongzi in embarrassment. She was also extremely annoyed, and said a few words clearly and clearly, which made Dongzi frown in annoyance.

Over there, Fang Jie only saw Pu Cao's smile on her face, and thought that she got along very well with her aunt, so he stepped forward and asked Pu Cao in a low voice if he was willing to go to the restaurant with him. Pu Cao thought of the new pickles with the magpie, so she shook her head and pushed him to go by himself, and then pick her up and go back to the village in the evening.

Fang Jie naturally didn't object, and called Dongzi to send their master and servant to the west of the city, while he himself walked to the restaurant with a smile.

Dongzi pretended to have something in his heart, and after sending the master and servant of Pucao, he hurried back to the restaurant, and said all the words of the magpie without waiting for the master to inquire.

When Fang Jie heard that Pu Cao had suffered such a big grievance, he still smiled without the slightest trace of resentment when he saw him, obviously because he was afraid that he would be caught in the middle and embarrassed. I really don't know what's wrong with his aunt, who is most distressed by him on weekdays, why do you treat the woman he is afraid of melting in his mouth so slowly?

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed and distressed he became, and he couldn't take care of anything when he flicked his sleeves, so he went to Sun's mansion by car.

Wei had just sent the guest back at this time, and he was listening to the old lady whispering about what had just happened. The old lady thought that her wife would be annoyed, but she didn't expect Wei to laugh unexpectedly, "So this Pucao is a bit similar to the temper of my sister, no wonder Brother Shou will take a fancy to her and not let go." ”

The old lady pondered the master's words for a moment, and echoed with a smile, "Young Master Cousin is in business, and if he marries such a shrewd and assertive woman, it will be a foil." The old slave heard from the little young girl that their master and servant had been thinking about adding some new business to the little pickle shop. This sister-in-law is really a "God of Wealth Grandma", maybe it's not true. ”

Wei sneered, raised his hand to take a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "What kind of God of Wealth Grandma, it's just a joke passed on by the stupid women of the peasant family." But it's true that this woman can do business, and she didn't help her come up with ideas in the restaurant. After saying this, she sighed again, remembering that her nephew would definitely come to the door to ask for guilt, and said a little worriedly, "If you neglect people today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the official brother to explain." ”

The old lady added new tea for the master, remembered Fang Cai's surprise discovery, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words. Wei asked half-heartedly, "What you said is serious, can't you be mistaken?" ”

The old lady patted her chest and promised, "Madam, don't worry, the old slave won't be mistaken." ”

Wei Shi didn't speak for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shake his head and smile helplessly, "In this way, it's not good for me to stop it anymore." Brother Xingguan's marriage is all taken care of by God. ”

The old lady also responded with a smile, "Young Master Cousin is deeply blessed, of course God will also give him a good marriage." ”

"Okay," Wei waved his hand, "It's hard work for you today, so let's get a big reward and go down and rest." ”

"Mrs. Xie's reward." The old lady saluted and retired happily.

Leaving Wei alone and pondering for a long time, he finally led the two big maids to the warehouse to pick up the silk and satin jewelry and return to most of the table in the house. When the three of them were picking and packing boxes, the little maid outside came to tell them that Fang Jie had come to the door.

Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly, drove a group of maids down, and personally pulled his annoyed nephew in the house and talked for a long time. When Fang Jie went out again, his face had changed to ecstasy, and he hurried away as if there was wind under his feet.

A group of big and small maids were originally gathered outside the door to listen to the excitement, but when they saw this, they were all staring at each other, and they were so curious that they wanted to scratch the wall, but they didn't dare to seriously run to the master to ask for an understanding, so they had to take all the guesses as a good dish and eat it for lunch...

Pu Cao took the magpie to the backyard of the pickle shop for a long time, and just after preparing the materials for making the new pickles, Fang Jie came to pick it up. Pucao hesitated to stay one more night and go back when the pickles were ready, but the magpie grinned and pushed her to wash her hands and go out.

Peony is wearing a blue floral apron to greet guests in the façade, and when he sees that the master is leaving, he also comes forward to salute. Pu Cao smiled and said a few words to her before getting into the carriage, but the carriage was already full of brocade and various gift boxes, so she had to sit next to Fang Jie and asked, "Are you spending money indiscriminately again?" There is nothing missing at home, and what are you doing with these things? ”

Fang Jie took her in his arms, for fear that the carriage would bump into his baby, "I didn't buy these things, they were sent by my aunt, and she promised to come to the village in person as soon as the autumn harvest is over, and then I will be able to marry you back in a sedan chair." ”

Pucao blinked, very puzzled. Fang just received a cold reception in Sun's mansion, and she thought that the Wei family would not agree to the marriage of the two. As a result, in less than two hours, Wei made a 180-degree turn, gave gifts and promised to be hired, which was too big. Did she accidentally kowtow or was she caught by the rising sun in the west?

Fang Jie looked at Pu Cao and reached out to lift the curtains, and asked, "What's the matter, but I forgot to buy something?" ”

Pu Cao shook her head and said seriously, "I'll see if the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, otherwise why did your aunt change her mind?" ”

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to tear down the curtains, and comforted, "Don't be angry with your aunt, she also feels sorry for me so much to snub you as a temptation." Don't you know that Aunt Fang Cai is full of praise for you, saying that we are a marriage made in heaven. I'll take you to visit her next time I have the chance, and I'll keep it from letting you be wronged. ”

Pu Cao shrugged her shoulders, and fiddled with a few brocades at her feet noncommittally, thinking that these apologies were also rich, and finally her grievances today were not in vain, "Okay, for your sake, I won't be angry." However, it is not wrong for my aunt to trouble me a few times, at least I can fill the storeroom of the family with exquisite silk, gold and silver jewelry. ”

Fang Jie loves Pucao with such a true temperament and eccentricity, and laughed even more happily when he held her, "The silk in the warehouse of Nian Enyuan is going to be moldy, as long as you marry me, it will be yours." ”

The two talked and laughed all the way, the wheels creaking against the thick snow, like the top tune of a happy song, cheerful and naughty...

March is spring, and the scenery is good. Although it is much colder in Cuiluan City than in the south, it is warmer and warmer in March. Most of the snow on the side of the street had melted, leaving only a small pile that continued to melt quietly, merging into a thin stream of water that rushed to the small river outside the village.

The naughty boys of all families have long been told not to go down to the river to play in the ice, after all, the ice is already very thin, and it is easy to fall into the river if it is not good.

Of course, there are also naughty boys who are disobedient, and secretly run to play while the adults are busy, and finally bring home a wet body, so as not to be beaten and bloom. After the child's mother waved the broom, she wiped her tears and went to Aunt Jiang to ask for some ointment to go back, but within three days, the boy went down to the ground again, and ran to play. It annoys the adults and doesn't laugh or laugh, so in the end they can only shake their heads and continue to be busy.

After more than a month of careful care, the seedlings in the greenhouses are now four inches tall. Occasionally, when the sun is warm at noon, the straw curtain on the roof of the shed is lifted, and the seedlings stretch their waists and shake their arms in the sun, which is particularly cute, so the men, women and children of each family are doing their best to take care of the fertilizer and water.

Needless to say, Pucao is the busiest in the village, not only does she have to go to each house often to guide her, but most importantly, she has to take good care of the eight ponds of rice seedlings in her greenhouse. A month ago, Prince Kang sent Zhao Fatzi to personally deliver two bags of fine rice seeds from the south and an old man named Wu Bo. Pu Cao only looked at the calluses and cracks on his hands and knew that this was an experienced old farmer, and sure enough, he heard Zhao Fatzi introduce that this was a helper they sent someone to "invite" back from the south.
