Dinh House.

Ding Liu looked at the four-color lipsticks lined up on the dressing table, thinking that Wei Zi had replied to her before, lipsticks were the same, the prospects were limitless, and they were bound to be held in their hands.

She sighed, and finally made a decision, and instructed her personal mother-in-law: "Go and call Hongxiang." ”

"Madame, have you figured it out?" The mother-in-law asked more.

Ding Liu nodded, and the mother-in-law went out.

Ding Liu remembered Hongxiang's life experience, she was a girl bought from outside, as early as Hongxiang entered the eyes of the old lady, and when she entered the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard, she checked it out, or she didn't dare to put people by her son's side to serve.

After a while, the red incense came.

After entering the door, Xianfu leaned down to say goodbye and asked, "I don't know what Madame commands." ”

"Hongxiang, how old are you this year?" Ding Liu's tone is always kind and kind.

Hongxiang didn't know why she asked this, but she replied honestly: "Mrs. Hui, the slave maid is twenty years old this year." ”

"I remember that you have been in Ding Mansion for five or six years." Ding Liu said again.

"Yes, the slave maid came to serve in our house at the age of fourteen, and now it has been six years."

"It's been six years," Ding Liu seemed to sigh, "If you're outside, I'm afraid you're already a mother at this age." ”

Hongxiang didn't speak, just smiled respectfully.

Ding Liu continued: "Has the family ever set for you?" ”

Hongxiang's heart suddenly tightened: "The slave maid entered the house early, and at that time, the poor family couldn't open the pot, and there was no marriage. ”

"That's right." Ding Liu paused and said, "Why don't I make the decision today and give you to the master." ”

"Old ...... Master? Hongxiang was stunned.

"Yes," Ding Liu's smile became brighter and brighter, "You also know our lord, the most kind, and it will hurt people, who in the house doesn't say that he is good, now those aunts are getting older, and there is a lack of smart people around the lord, I see that you are a good one, so I will make you promise our lord, Hongxiang, are you willing?" ”

Hongxiang was still in shock and didn't come back to her senses, and Ding Liu didn't hear a word of what he said, so she couldn't help but be stunned.

When Ding Liu saw her like this, he asked again: "Hongxiang?" Would you like to? ”

Hongxiang heard this, but her eyes were full of confusion: "I...... I do not know...... Slave ......"

Ding Liu simply shook her hand and stroked it gently: "I know that it may be a little sudden to talk to you about this now, but Madame, I have already had this heart, and it is only after a thousand choices that I feel that you are the most suitable, if you have any difficulties, just say it." ”

If you talk about difficulties, Hongxiang naturally doesn't have it, but it's ...... with the old man This was something she had never thought about.

Although Hongxiang has been serving in the house for many years, not to mention that he has been in the outer courtyard in the previous years, he has entered the inner courtyard this year, and he only serves the old lady and the little master, and the number of times he has seen the old man is only a handful, and Hongxiang is even vague about what he looks like.

"But what's the difficulty?" Ding Liu asked again.

"No, there's nothing wrong with it." Hongxiang replied, she had just admitted that her family had not promised her any family, so where was there any other difficulty?

"That's good." Ding Liu smiled kindly: "Don't worry, although you are a girl, I will not ask the master to treat you badly, so I opened my face and directly raised me as an aunt, which can be regarded as giving you a name." ”

"Huh? This ......" Hongxiang was speechless suddenly, she felt that this decision was too fast, what did she want to say, and she was afraid that her wife would be angry, so she only said cautiously: "It's just that the slave maid thinks ...... It was too sudden...... Slaves are really ......"

"Yes, yes," Ding Liu gently patted the back of Hongxiang's hand and soothed: "You should think about it, now that it's almost the New Year's Day, I'll let you go to your house, let your family reunite and have a good New Year, and you can also discuss with your father and mother, okay?" ”

What else can Hongxiang say? You can only nod your head.

When she came out, Ding Liu asked her mother-in-law to send it, and her mother-in-law walked with her on the road with a smile on her face, and said hello to Hongxiang with a smile: "The girl is really blessed, the old woman congratulates the girl first." ”

"Makes mom smile." Hongxiang was a little uncomfortable.

"Girls don't have to be shy", this woman is obviously also a lobbyist: "Women must marry when they are old, how many girls in our house have reached their age, but if they marry a little girl, they are still the life of a slave." Mrs. Partial took a fancy to the girl, and she directly wanted to be promoted to be an aunt, then she would become our master, and the wealth of this Ding Mansion would also have a girl, if she could give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, she would really envy the gods. ”

She said exaggerated, but Hongxiang didn't understand this truth, but Master Ding was not confused in the end, he was twice as big as Hongxiang, and he made people small......

"Miss Hongxiang, but you think the old man is old?" The mother-in-law seemed to see what she was thinking, and said.

"How dare Hongxiang dislike the eldest master." Hongxiang said busily.

"Mom told you, this man, the older he gets, the more it hurts, although the old man is older than you, but he has a good temper, our wife takes a fancy to you again, you get married, isn't it a blessed life", the mother-in-law said, "Besides, the food and clothing in our house, where can it be compared outside, that is, one day I will go out, and it is also cloth clothes, hairpins, coarse tea and light rice, where there is a better life in the house." ”

The mother-in-law babbled all the way, and Hongxiang was forced to listen all the way, and her thoughts were surging, and finally she arrived at the place where she lived, and the mother-in-law said: "Since the lady has promised the girl a leave, let's pack up and go back, and I will talk to the old lady on behalf of the girl." ”

"Thank you mom for that." Hongxiang got up and blessed, and her mother-in-law waved her hand, and finally left.

The New Year Festival is approaching, Hongxiang returned to her home in Houpo Village, and Liuli also suspended the work at hand and began to buy New Year's goods, all kinds of food, new clothes, and jewelry.

This year is different from previous years, Liuli is really rich, so it is very bold to buy New Year's goods, and a large car is pulled home.

In addition to making Dongpo meat, she also wants to marinate some bacon, and the rest is smeared with honey and fried, and when it is to be eaten, it is steamed with dried tofu or plum cabbage, which is her favorite taste when she was a child.

For this reason, Liuli also went to the blacksmith shop to play an iron pot, you know, at this time iron is a valuable thing, the countryside cooks with a clay kettle, Liuli this iron pot is not cheap.

However, with this iron pot, the children in the family can be regarded as blessed, and Liuli can finally make stir-fry boldly without worrying about the pot leaking.

After the meat was fried, Liuli thought about sending some to Zhao Mingxu, but when he arrived at the door, he was told by the doorkeeper that the master's family was not there, and he had already left.

That's right, for the New Year, Zhao Ergongzi is also going home for the New Year, but it's a pity that this meat is really good, and that person has no mouth.
