Chapter 36 Pickled cabbage

Sun Fu Yin drank two cups of tea in a row, only to feel that the anger in his heart had dropped a little, and when he saw Sun Cheng coming in with a tray, he still scolded, "How do you discipline your subordinates, you dare to talk about the length of the master at will, it's so unruly!" ”

Sun Cheng bowed and hooked his head, and let the master scold and not reply to defend himself.

Master Sun scolded a few words and felt that his heart was a little better depressed, and when he saw him like this, he felt a touch of shame in his heart.

He didn't know about the things in the backyard, and now that he was in charge of the second room, Sun Cheng, the wife of the wife, must be embarrassed to survive, let alone discipline others.

If the old wife was still alive, such a thing would not have happened. And the daughter also has her mother's teaching, and she will not be as rude and willful as she is now.

Thinking like this, he sighed, "That's it, such a reprimand is wronged by you." ”

Sun Cheng stepped forward and put down the tray steadily, saluted and said, "The master has tormented the slaves, they are all slaves." ”

Sun Fuyin waved his hand, "It's not your fault." With that, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes and said no more, his face was extremely dark.

"Master, but what is there to worry about, I don't know if the slave can share the worries for the master. The old man is already busy with business, so he can't worry about it anymore. Sun Cheng lightly lifted the lid of the blue and white bowl and whispered comfort.

Sun Fuyin smelled the aroma of his favorite chicken soup, so he stood up and barely drank two sips, and said helplessly, "Feng'er is not controlled by her mother, and the rules are a mess, and marrying her husband's family in the future will definitely make people laugh." ”

Sun Cheng persuaded, "Master don't have to worry, the second lady treats the eldest lady very dedicatedly on weekdays, but after all, she is not her own mother, and some things are not easy to talk about." So, Miss's temper is... Be blunt. If the master wants to teach the young lady to learn the rules, he doesn't necessarily have to teach the second lady, wouldn't it be better to ask for a nurturing grandmother? ”

"Parenting?" Sun Fuyin's hand holding the spoon was stunned, and his face immediately brightened, "This is a good idea." You're going to visit the city tomorrow and come back with the oldest and the most reputable. ”

"Yes, sir." Sun Chenggong agreed, Sun Fu Yin went to the matter on his heart, and he had a good appetite, and he drank a bowl of chicken soup.

In the evening, the second lady heard that the two little maids were going to be kicked out of the house because of the quarrel with the master, so she didn't take it to heart, and ordered the personal maid to pick up the deed of sale of the two and give it to Sun Cheng casually.

Sun Cheng held it in his hand and found two little guys who had already picked up the package, tore up the deed of sale in front of them, and divided ten taels of silver each, which sent them limping out of the back door.

The two little guys also forgot the pain in their buttocks, and the wind under their feet quickly disappeared.

There are no people in the world who are willing to be slaves, they are all when they were young, their families really couldn't open the pot, and their parents sold them in order to give them a chance to live. Now that he has regained his freedom, and he has enough money to buy two acres of land or make a small business, it is like pie in the sky, where can he not rush home?

Sun Cheng saw the figures of the two faintly disappearing at the mouth of the alley, and then he looked up to see the dark, starless and moonless sky, and breathed a long sigh of relief...

On the third day, the old lady Sun Cheng found entered the mansion. Sun Fuyin personally received the tea, and saw that the old lady was neatly dressed, her half-white hair was not messy, and her manners were decent, and she was very satisfied. Immediately, a three-month employment period was set and a dowry of one hundred taels was given, and she was left to teach her daughter in the house.

The old lady is also a straightforward and shrewd person, and she opened her mouth to mention three chapters of the law, involving rules and punishments such as beating hands and eating hungry, and she was distressed when she heard Sun Fuyin's father, but she nodded hard for the sake of her daughter's future.

Sun Jiaofeng went out to incense the day before yesterday, and it was not easy to persuade Erniang to take her around Baiyunju to meet her sweetheart, but she didn't want to rush back. As a result, when she returned home, she heard the little maid tell her that her sweetheart had actually come to their house, and she missed it like this, which made her so annoyed that she hated to stomp a hole in the bluestone floor.

In the past few days, she was thinking about how to go out of the house again, but she was suddenly told that she could not go out in the next three months, and she would have to be disciplined by the old grandmother.

This was really a bolt from the blue, she immediately smashed the porcelain tables and chairs in the house to protest, and the second lady rushed to comfort and was also kicked out by her, making the house unpeaceful.

When Sun Fuyin heard Sun Cheng's report, he was furious, and he became more ruthless and ordered the old lady to teach strictly.

There is a large courtyard covering an area of four acres in the east of Cuiluan City, the plaque on the lintel is different from the house of other houses, only wrote the three words of "Nian En Garden", the penmanship is elegant, natural, even if it is a person who does not understand calligraphy, you can easily feel the free and easy meaning of the person who puts the pen.

In the courtyard, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, are also extremely elegantly arranged.

The carved windows on the second floor of one of the painting buildings were open, and the sunlight shone directly on the boy in the royal blue silk shirt, making the smile on the corner of his mouth more and more smug and mischievous.

After finishing the last leaf and putting away the brush, Fang Jie said while putting down his half-rolled sleeves, "So, in the future, my ears will be able to be cleaned for three months?" ”

Dongzi, the little servant who was waiting at the door, immediately smiled and said, "Childe's clever plan is to calm the world, and he nailed Miss Sun's seven inches as soon as he made a move." In the future, you will go to the Rouge Pavilion for a drink, but no one will stop you. The peony girl has been sending people to deliver posts every day these days, and the minions have all received a soft hand. ”

Fang Jie raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and scolded with a smile, "Are you taking the reward money to get a soft hand, don't say that you didn't accept the reward from others?" ”

Dongzi hurriedly stepped forward to add tea for the master, and said with a smile, "Isn't the little one following the master, it's difficult for the young master of other families to see the peony girl, only you have such a face." ”

"Don't take those benefits in the future" Fang Jie put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, pointed to the invitation on the table and said, "Throw away the posts too." ”

Dongzi was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Young master, aren't you going to Miss Peony?" ”

Fang Jie shook his head, unfolded the folding fan, looked out the window at the bleak scenery, and said softly, "The more delicate and pitiful the flowers, the more honey is wrapped in the heart of the flower... It's poison! ”

Dongzi scratched his head, he really couldn't figure it out, but how could he be involved with poison when he met with a woman and drank a glass of wine. But he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only retreat to the door with a stomach full of doubts.

Fang Jie's gaze slowly fell on the distant horizon, and he didn't know what the past remembered in his heart, and he was silent in thought.

Occasionally, a light breeze blew in front of the window, and the hair hanging down the side of his face fluttered, covering up the nostalgia and sadness in those starry eyes...

Pu Cao took the bud grain straw into the stove, pulled off the bud grain whiskers on his head, and instructed the peach blossoms, "Help my sister-in-law boil the water in the pot, and when the sauerkraut is accumulated in the future, my sister-in-law will give you dumplings with sauerkraut filling to eat." ”

Peach Blossom smiled and grinned, pulled a few bud stalks and stepped on them, then stuffed them under the earthen stove, and knocked on the flint and lit it, and did it quickly and sharply.

Pu Cao kissed her loudly on the head and praised, "Our peach blossoms are really getting more and more capable, and my sister-in-law will have a helper in the future." ”

Peach Blossom was praised and smiled, her big eyes bent into a crescent moon, and she became more and more cute.

Shanzi ran in with a cabbage and protested, "I also helped my sister work!" ”

Pu Cao hurriedly kissed this extremely jealous little fart again, "Shanzi is also the most capable, and my sister-in-law can't move cabbage, thanks to Shanzi's help." ”

Shanzi immediately tried to raise his head and make a look of infinite strength, which made Pucao and Peach Blossom laugh.

When I woke up early today, it was a little overcast. Pu Cao was afraid of falling snow so she was in a hurry to catch up with the chores at home, and Chunni was also busy going in and out, and the two gossiped from time to time across the fence.

Chunni's subordinates picked up the withered skin of the cabbage and asked, "Pucao, have you brushed the big clay jar?" ”

"It's brushed, it's already dry."

"You're fast enough, I'll help you blanch the cabbage later."

"Okay." Pu Cao responded with a smile, turned around and put the cabbage on the board, remembered something and said, "Your mother's family doesn't have a letter yet, when can you send the soil, I'm afraid that it will delay the matter as soon as it snows." ”

Chunni looked up at the sky and was also worried, so she said, "If my brother doesn't come today, I'll go back tomorrow morning." ”

"It's okay, remember to help me collect some garlic and shallots again!"

"Got it," Chunni stood up with a thump on her sore back, and said, "I don't know if you can grow this dish, but I don't buy less garlic and shallots." Dong Si helped take back two more baskets yesterday, right? ”

Pu Cao laughed, "The more the merrier, you will know in the future, there is no return without investment." ”

The two laughed like this for a while, and Peach Blossom also boiled the water in the cauldron.

Chunni didn't go out of the door anymore, she found a hole in the fence and drilled it directly, and said with a smile, "Go far away from the gate, it's better to open a small door on the fence in the future." ”

Pu Cao smiled silently, swept the courtyard out of the corner of her eye, and motioned to Chunni to look at the east wing, and said in a low voice, "There are not a few steps left and right, but don't make our family's talented man angry." ”

Chunni stuck out her tongue, and she couldn't do anything to the talented man who always made a sign with rules and etiquette, so she hurriedly pinched the lazy idea and was busy scalding cabbage with Pucao.

Peach Blossom and Shanzi gathered around the pot to watch the excitement, and Pucao was afraid that he would accidentally burn them, so he drove them to play outside. I didn't want the two children to run back after a while after they went out, and shouted, "Sister-in-law, there is an ox cart outside Sister Ni's house." ”

Chunni shouted in surprise, "Oh, my brother sent the soil, right?" ”

With that, she threw down the cabbage and ran out, and Pucao wiped her hands on her apron and rushed to visit.

Sure enough, two ox carts were parked under the two big willow trees outside Liu's house. The two coachmen, one brown and the other gray, were men in their thirties. With a square face and a high nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, people know at first sight that they must be extremely upright temperament.

The ox cart behind them was loaded with black soil, and the two old oxen were sweating. The second car had an extra linoleum and baskets of objects scattered, and in the middle sat an old lady with gray hair.
