Madame Jade loves it. The willow basket is meticulously knitted, good-looking, and novel, which suits her heart. After thinking about it, Mrs. Yu changed her mind again and praised the autumn pattern slightly.

Ximo said: "Yes, I didn't make up this willow basket." ”

Madam Jade also said, "How can you make up such a thing?" Well, now that you're here, you'll have a simple vegetarian meal with me. What is not a birthday, I have never been at ease. "Mrs. Jade also let Qiu Wen serve it with her, which is a very great treatment for Qiu Wen.

She shook her head and said it would be nice to eat whatever she wanted.

"If you want to be served, you will be served. For example, Wang Gui's family has followed me for decades, and when it was time to eat, he also honestly followed me to the table to eat, nothing. ”

Wang Gui's family teased the autumn lines: "Don't pinch it later." Madame is a very charitable person, and you have met a good master. The "master" in the mouth of Wang Gui's family is not Ximo, but Mrs. Yu. The first thing to look at is the Mid-Autumn Festival, not Ximo, but Mrs. Jade. Without Madame Yu's arrangement, Qiu Wen would not have entered Ximo's study so quickly.

Autumn Pattern was even more frightened.

The vegetarian food was sent for a while, and it was all warm. Although they are all vegetarians, they taste good. The abbot of Pure Heart is very meticulous in this regard, and he does not treat him badly at all in terms of food. Madame Jade is also satisfied with this. Of course, these ordinary meals are a drop in the bucket compared to the incense money that Mrs. Yu donates to the temple every year.

Mrs. Yu told Qiuwen: You can come here for dinner, but it will be inconvenient to stay here at night.

Ximo said, "Master Pure Heart has arranged another place for her to live, and I have already instructed her. ”

Mrs. Yu looked at her son deeply a few times and said, "You are so attentive to Qiu Wen, it is better to accept her." Your grandmother wasn't happy, but I was fine. Having autumn patterns by your side is much better than other girls. ”

The Wang Guijia was next to Qiu Wen: "Qiu Wen, Madame has opened her mouth like this, you still don't kneel down and kowtow." ”

Autumn Pattern was stunned.

She understood what Madame meant. When the uncle's concubine or aunt, even if it is a girl who has a room, with the blessing of the uncle, others dare not touch her.

But Qiu Wen didn't want to kneel. It's weird. It seems that this is detrimental to her dignity. She knows that she is just a servant, serving people, where is her dignity?

It's just because Autumn Pattern's heart has never extinguished a vague dream. That is, in this life and this life, if she can be free, she is also willing to find a lover, a lover, you plough the field and come to me to weave cloth, although bitter and sweet, love for a lifetime. She doesn't want to be a dwarf, to be the concubine of a wealthy son, and to be respectful to his wife in the future. In particular, the longer you stay in the Shi Mansion, the more you reject being a concubine. She couldn't help but look at the uncle. Uncle is kind to her. If the uncle insists, she will not disobey. It's just that...... That vague wish in my heart could not be fulfilled in the end. The uncle will marry a wife, and maybe he will take other concubines, all of which are uncertain. In the future, she will live in peace with the uncle's other wives and concubines wholeheartedly, and she is not allowed to be jealous, and she may still have to learn women, so she will take the initiative to persuade the uncle to buy a few more women and spread the branches.

This kind of life is really not what she wants.

Qiu Wen frowned, thinking only about what to say about it, so as not to upset Madame.

Ximo looked at her sad face, and took the initiative to tell Mrs. Yu: "Mother, don't bother you." Although Qiu Wen is my maid, I respect her in my heart. What doesn't accept the house, I don't want these. ”

Madam Yu showed a puzzled look, was silent for a moment, and asked, "How did I hear that you were also willing earlier?" Now it's a change of heart? Could it be that you are obsessed with girls from other families? ”

Ximo sighed: "It seems that my mother doesn't understand me." ”

This stimulated Madame Yu, she stood up, put the Buddha beads in one place, and said coldly: "I naturally don't know you. But if I didn't care about you, I wouldn't know that. I asked you to take her into the house, but also for you to grow up together, what is my heart? ”

Ximo still sighed: "I didn't think about it before, but now I have changed my mind." ”

"What are you going to do? Do you want to be the girl for the rest of your life? ”

Mrs. Yu asked, and Qiu Wen also lowered her head beside her, listening carefully.

"Of course not."

"And what are you going to do with her?"

"Not very good. Now, I don't want to say, you'll find out later. Ximo turned around and looked at Qiu Wen a few times, "She will always be properly placed." ”

Ximo bit the word "proper" heavily.

Autumn Pattern's heart is beating even more. How does the uncle want to settle it? What is appropriate? At this moment, the uncle didn't want to say it. About her, Autumn Tattoo was full of curiosity, but she couldn't ask.

Mrs. Yu said, "Can't I be a mother?" ”

"No, but after seeing."

Ximo sold Guan Zi like this, which made Wang Guijia laugh, and she deliberately made the solemn atmosphere more relaxed, "What will happen in the future?" Uncle, if you want me to say, there will always be changes in the future, so it is better to accept it early, so that Mrs. can hold her grandson earlier! ”

Akimo's face turned even redder.

Mrs. Yu looked at Qiu Wen with her head down, her appearance was more similar to the old man before, especially the curve of her neck, which was alive and well from the shadow of Mrs. Shu's family. In her heart, there was a trace of pity for Qiu Wen. What are you embarrassed about this girl? If you take her, you will also get half of your son.

"Let's eat. Although it is a vegetarian meal, it tastes good. ”

Mrs. Yu sat in the first seat, accompanied by Wang Gui's family. Ximo sat under Mrs. Jade, and Qiu Wen leaned on her side and stood to eat. Although Mrs. Yu asked her to sit down, saying that she would make an exception today, and Ximo also said that she didn't need to be so restrained, Qiu Wen still stood up. Ximo left her to go: "That's it." ”

The meal was sweet.

In the end, there is a son, Mrs. Yu eats very right, and Wang Gui's family also eats very fragrantly.

The food made in Panlong Temple is actually famous. The ladies and ladies of those big families love to come and eat. After the incense is saluted, the incense money is delivered, and when it is time to eat, there is often some can't wait.

The meals are actually ordinary, but the advantage is that the ingredients are fresh, and they are all picked from the nearby mountain villages, most of them are wild vegetables, but they taste better than the market. The wild mushrooms after the rain, the golden needles that came out of the cracks in the stones, the old tofu that was ground in the mill, and the mushrooms that grew out of the pond. Heat up the cauldron and stir-fry it with oil and salt, which is better than fish and seafood. Today, Jingxin knew that it was Mrs. Yu's birthday, and ordered the kitchen to make eight kinds of vegetarian food. Eight treasure rice, red rice porridge, vegetarian chicken, vegetarian duck, vegetarian goose, gluten, 1000 zhang, 100 leaves, other dried fruits, nuts, preserved fruits, a few hot side dishes, and three bowls of vegetarian soup. Rice is not white rice, nor is it coarse grain, but the rare red rice of the rice field.

Red rice is like a red pearl that is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it. Autumn pattern can't bear to eat. Because she had never eaten such fine rice. She almost counted the rice and ate it grain by grain. Wang Gui's family smiled: "Qiuwen, you can't finish eating until noon." Don't be reluctant, just eat. There are a few jars of red rice like this in the temple. ”

Although Wang Gui's family is Mrs. Yu's companion, he has never suffered hardship when he follows Mrs. Yu, and he has never been treated badly in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Her life is much better than that of the masters of those small families in Jiangcheng.

Qiu Wen was even more embarrassed by Wang Guijia's words. This has to follow the uncle to eat in the lady's room day by day, and she will only become more restrained day by day. As far as Qiuwen is concerned, it is better to drink a bowl of tofu brain at this time.

Ximo said: "Autumn pattern, don't be too frugal. This red rice will be popularized in the future, and the yield is very high, and the general people can afford to eat it. ”

Although Ximo accompanied his mother to eat, his eyes never left the autumn lines.

Ximo used tea instead of wine to congratulate his mother on her birthday, and the sentence was short, but there was no lack of sincerity. Wang Gui's family also brought a cup of tea. Autumn patterns also learn from Wang Gui's family. Madame Jade smiled back: "You don't have to be like this. ”

I never thought it was really lively today.

Ximo's three concubines and sisters actually prepared gifts and took a carriage to visit Mrs. Yu in Panlong Temple. The sisters had received the favor of Madame Yu, and they also remembered their mother's birthday in their hearts, so they still hurried here. Aunt Nawen is also coming. It's just that she fell on her legs and feet, and it was inconvenient for a while, so she couldn't come. But the gift was prepared, and Miss Tongyun brought it.

As soon as the three of them came, Mrs. Yu's house was really lively. Wang Gui's family stopped eating, and gave the ladies tea one by one. When the three of Tongyun saw their eldest brother Ximo, they were overjoyed.

Sang Yun said: "Big brother, when we came, we guessed that you should be here, and sure enough. ”

Ziyun said, "Big brother, you can go back." Daddy knew we were here, and Daddy said, you go back, I won't beat you. ”

Shi Yuan also knew that today was his wife's birthday, and like in previous years, Shi Yuan also asked people to prepare generous gifts. Since the three daughters were going to come in person, I asked the daughters to bring this generous gift. Shi Yuan's generous gift is the famous tea of various provinces, which is very expensive, and it cost Shi Yuan a lot of silver. Mrs. Jade loves to drink tea, whether it is white tea and rock tea. As long as it is tea, she likes to taste it slowly.

Ximo smiled: "It's better if I don't go back." ”

"Why?"

"It is not right for me to go back now. It's cheap for me to go back, but it's not cheap to go back for autumn patterns. ”

Tongyun seemed to understand something, and smiled slightly when he heard this: "Big brother, now everyone in Manfu knows that you are not ordinary in treating autumn patterns. So you don't have to hide it. If you are lovers, why do you find out? ”

Tongyun is the oldest. However, the eleven-year-old girl's words still made Mrs. Yu slightly unhappy. Mrs. Yu said: "Tongyun, you children don't understand this, and everyone is the same." These words shall never be spoken again. It's all your nurse's bad that you hear the stubborn words of these adults. Who are the nurses around you now? ”

Tongyun's face became hot.
