Afraid that her sister would find herself to exchange gifts, Mai Xiaofang picked up the box and ran back to the house, Mai Xiaohuan and the Tang family's coachman exchanged a few words, and the man suddenly remembered that when he was at the city gate, he heard someone inquiring about Shaxi Village and Mai's family.

Who will inquire about their home? Mai Xiaohuan really couldn't think of it, so she simply guessed without effort. She found her second brother and wanted him to go to Dou's house to carry a letter, she was escorted by the Tang family, and if her brother-in-law had nothing else to do in Qingcheng County, he didn't have to make this trip.

After about a pillar of incense, Mai Yonghai, who ran out to deliver the letter, turned back again, Mai Xiaohuan looked at the second brother puzzled, such a short time was not enough to go back and forth from home to the county seat, and he came back too quickly.

"Little ...... Xiao Huan! Someone...... Looking for you. ”

Who has such great power to scare the second brother out of the way. Mai Xiaohuan was very curious and moved to the gate, and when she saw someone coming, she was also shocked.

A carriage with very elaborate decoration and workmanship stopped at the door, and it was actually the big celebrity next to Zhou Yue - Xiaoquanzi who came down from inside.

"Little ...... Izumiko! What are you doing here. ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Quanzi glared at Mai Xiaohuan very dissatisfied, I haven't seen this girl dare to omit the word "brother" for a few days.

Mai Xiaohuan, who had recovered from the shock, hurriedly added the word "brother", and at this time, the villagers who had arrived with good letters had already surrounded Xiaoquanzi's carriage. Xiao Quanzi asked the coachman to keep an eye on the carriage, turned around and blamed: "Are you crazy at home, you have been back for ten days!" What's the matter, if your brother doesn't come to pick you up, don't you plan to go back? ”

Mai Xiaohuan hurriedly shook his head, how could he have that guts! Besides, there is no need not to be, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Yue should return to the capital soon, who would be stupid enough to run away at this time!

"Yes...... The county lord and Mama Tian sent me to pick you up, and the master said, if you don't live enough, you can stay for a few more days. ”

"If you don't leave now, I'll go home and pack my things." Mai Xiaohuan can imagine without guessing how Zhou Yue gritted his teeth when he said this, if he is not interested in expressing his position quickly, he will wait to be punished when he goes back!

In the crowd of onlookers, a fast-talking aunt asked Mai Xiaohuan, who was this person who had never appeared in Shaxi Village and was full of style and bearing?

"I forgot to introduce you, this is ...... The steward of Lotus Temple. ”

"What kind of place is Lotus Temple?"

These people are persistent enough, Mai Xiaohuan originally planned to introduce it briefly, but who knew that the curiosity of the people was so heavy. Xiaoquanzi's true identity is inconvenient to disclose, if these neighbors knew that they were serving a son, they would definitely want to be crooked, and they would go all the way.

"The Lotus Courtyard is where the county lord lives, it's not something you can talk about casually, so keep your mouth shut!" The person in charge of the Tang family who came to pick up the sisters lived in Qingcheng County, and the daimyo villagers of the Lotus Courtyard had never heard of it, but they knew it, and looking at the momentum of Xiaoquanzi, this person's identity was definitely not low.

It turns out that the Xiao Huan sisters are still studying with the county lord! Who spread rumors that people were disgusted by the county lord and sent back, it's just nonsense. Didn't the Tang family send someone here too? The coachman also said just now that the young master of the Tang family is going to the capital, and he doesn't want to get rid of the sisters at all, if he doesn't want to pay attention to the two of them, how can he come with a gift!

The villagers of Shaxi Village were either talking to each other, or three or five people gathered together to discuss, and the gate of Mai Xiaohuan's house was very lively for a while.

The first time he stepped into a small village and saw so many interesting people, Xiao Quanzi looked around curiously, grabbed Mai Xiaohuan and asked her to take him up the mountain and down the river to see, by the way, there were crops, cattle and sheep, he wanted to meet.

"You're not in a hurry to go back."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow will be back? You're just going to let me walk around here! ”

But you said it yourself, and when your master scolds me, I will confess you. Mai Xiaohuan asked the second brother to take Xiaoquanzi around, and went back to prepare the meal by herself, the people around Zhou Yue were very mouthful, and she didn't dare to wait carelessly, she also counted on Xiaoquanzi to help say good things after she went back!

After the villagers found out the truth of the matter, they scolded the rumor-mongers and went back to their respective homes. No one will ever talk about it again! Shan Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief and helped the little girl prepare the meal. Mai Xiaofang has not come out since she entered the house, and after Mai Xiaohuan scolded Tang Yujun in her heart, she planned to write down this account for him, and settle the account when they met next time.

Shan Cuihua asked Mai Xiaohuan how she planned to entertain the guests! Or just go to the county to book a table and have a banquet. Mai Xiaohuan told her that she didn't need to be nervous, just make some home-cooked food, and people had never seen any banquets, and the novel farmhouse dishes should be more in line with his heart.

Shan Cuihua was also nimble with her hands and feet, catching rabbits, killing chickens, and soaking mushrooms, and when she was really busy, she shouted to her daughter's house: "Xiaofang, what are you doing?" Don't come out to help yet. ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Mai Xiaofang, whose cheeks were crimson, ran out of the house and slammed the door with her hand. These two people are definitely tired, Tang Yujun actually dared to ignore his own warnings and make small moves with his second sister. He really thought he was so foolish and a bully! Dare to take your words as a deaf ear, don't let yourself see him, hum! Mai Xiaohuan took the spatula in his hand as Tang Yujun to vent his anger, and the knock clanged.

She now has no time to pay attention to the second sister who is hiding from her, and she can't help but peek, so she asks her to go to the neighbor Zhao butcher's house to ask if there are any big bone sticks, and there are still a few sauerkraut trees stored in the cellar, which are the best to stew with bone sticks. Then knead a piece of dough mixed with white noodles and bean noodles, paste a few cakes later, and mix a plate of wild vegetables.

"Wouldn't it be too simple, let your dad go to the county to buy some braised meat, and then go to the bar!"

Mai Xiaohuan was so amused by her mother that she burst into tears and laughed, Xiaoquanzi is about the same size as the second sister, and she is still a half-old child! What kind of wine!

Even if he doesn't drink it, won't the Tang family coachman? Mai Xiaohuan tilted his head and thought for a while, just let Shan Cuihua take out the wine she made. This is the result of their father and daughter's experiments and improvements many times, the degree is not high, it is delicious and not good, and the most important thing is that it is good for the body! There are mountain grapes and goji berries in it, which are natural supplements.

waited until Xiaoquanzi and the others came back, Shan Cuihua was still struggling with the fact that the food was too ordinary, and it was not suitable for the girl to use these to entertain distinguished guests. In order to dispel her concerns, Mai Xiaohuan asked Xiaoquanzi if she was satisfied with the meal she had cooked today.

After looking around, Xiao Quanzi rubbed his hands and replied: "Not bad", except for the chicken stewed mushrooms and braised rabbit meat, the rest of the dishes I have never seen before. Xiao Huan's family still has wine, it smells quite fragrant, so let's try it!

Xiao Quanzi is also a self-cooked, and he takes a bowl and plans to pour some wine to taste. Mai Xiaohuan went up and grabbed the bowl and helped Xiaoquanzi fill the bowl of rice, and covered it with a cake.

"Xiao Huan, I'll taste a little."

Mai Xiaohuan shook his head and didn't agree, if it was in Yifeng Garden, he couldn't care how much he drank, not in his own home.

Don't drink alcohol, eat your own food! He is also not polite, he doesn't need to be let if he likes to eat, he directly stretches out his chopsticks to clip it, and he can't walk after a meal.

"When we leave tomorrow, bring some of these dishes, Childe......"

What kind of son, except for Mai Xiaofang, who lowered her head in fright, the rest of the people looked at Mai Xiaohuan, waiting for her explanation. Mai Xiaohuan wants to go up and strangle Xiao Quanzi, and he can't stop his mouth when he eats, you must know that this is the result, today's meal should not be given to him.

Their family didn't know who the two children were serving, and these two girls were strict enough. Xiao Quanzi waited with her chin on her crutch to see how Mai Xiaohuan explained to her family.

"Mother, my second sister and I have been living in the courtyard of the county lord, but recently a distinguished guest came to the Lotus Courtyard, and I occasionally cook a dish and soup for this son, and there is really nothing left."

Xiao Quanzi didn't expose her, he also knew that the sisters were not children anymore, and it would not be good if the people in the village knew that the two of them had been serving their masters. For the sake of the two girls who are quite good to themselves, I will help them cover it up once.

Seeing Xiaoquanzi nodded, Shan Cuihua was a little relieved, but she still didn't forget to tell Mai Xiaohuan to remember her identity and don't do anything she shouldn't do.

"I know, mother."

Xiaoquanzi finally understood what was going on with Mai Xiaohuan hiding from his master, this is a family motto. Their family is really special, the mother actually makes the child stay away from the rich, if it were someone else's family, they would never do it.

The Mai family thought that with Mai Yonghai's message, Dou Liangfu would dispel the idea of going to Qingcheng County together! Who knew that the carriage on their side had just entered Pingliang County, and Dou Liangfu was already waiting there.

"Who is this?" Seeing Xiao Quanzi, who was frowning at Dou Liangfu, he didn't have a good impression of the man standing in front of him with a shiny face and two rows of yellow teeth with a smile.

"Oh! This is my brother-in-law, I asked him to give me a trip two days ago, and it happened that he was also going to Qingcheng County to run errands, so I made an appointment to go together. Brother-in-law, this is Xiao Quanzi, the steward of the Lotus Temple. ”

Dou Liangfu almost trotted over to meet Xiao Quanzi, and his bent head was almost on his knees. After the salute, he actually stretched out his hands to help Xiaoquanzi, looking like a servant.

Finally sent Dou Liangfu aside, Xiao Quanzi asked Mai Xiaohuan with a bitter face: "Can we not go with him?" ”

After thinking for a while, Mai Xiaohuan nodded: "Why don't you go for half an hour first, we will follow behind, I asked him to accompany him to Qingcheng County, and now that someone is accompanied, let's drive people away!" It doesn't matter if you don't care, he and I are relatives, and we will meet in the future. ”

"Is he your brother-in-law?" Xiao Quanzi couldn't understand how the Mai family could have such an old and ugly son-in-law.

This is still the eldest sister defeated a lot of opponents and earned it by grabbing it! What's the use of you and me disliking it, others are rare!
