Mrs. Ning originally told her son to mention him and Xiaoman to the Gu family, but her true thoughts in her heart were that she would never mention it, what he promised her son was just to deal with Ning Xuan, but after listening to Xiaohuan's words, Mrs. Ning thought about it again and again and decided that it would be better for Gu to mention it, Xiaoman has so much silver, and the dowry must be indispensable when she marries, and besides, she has such a business in her hand and needs help in the future, her mother's business is getting worse and worse in the north, and her father wrote a few days ago. I also asked if there was any way in the capital, whether the capital could come to them, but as far as the Ning family was concerned, it was just a celebrity and noble, and the scholarly family knew nothing about doing business and making money, at most dozens of teachers and teachers were just Mr., and the reputation was good, but only Mrs. Ning herself knew that she had never bought jewelry, and she originally planned to move to the capital, and she could give him an official and a half-position in the imperial court if she could trust Ning Liancheng's old relationship and friends to give him a half-official position in the imperial court, and his life might be much better. After the result came, I found that the situation in the capital was so bad, everyone in the official was in danger, and they all wanted to resign and go home, but the emperor was not allowed.

Mrs. Ning wrote a letter to her father and mother at home before and actually picked up a good one, saying that her father and mother thought that they were living a good life in the capital, so their parents came to the capital to join themselves, but look at the courtyard where they live now, their parents will definitely bring their brother and younger brother when they come, and when the time comes, the family will not even have enough place to live, Mrs. Ning has been worried for a long time, if Ning Xuan and Xiaoman can really set up a family affair, then it will naturally be a family, If you mention it to her, Xiaoman will definitely help her, and according to Xiaoman's current strength, a slight leakage is enough for his parents and brother to live a good life.

Even if Xiao Man refuses to agree to the family affair with Ning Xuan, Mrs. Ning has also thought of a way, Xiao Man is an assertive person, but the Gu family is not a person with any opinions, not to mention that she has taken care of her and her son for so many years, and she also saved their family at the beginning, Gu is a grateful person, I believe that she will not refuse, the more Mrs. Ning thinks about it, the more happy she feels, when the time comes, the brother and they can gain a foothold in the capital, and their Zhao family will be regarded as a big family in Jiangcheng in the future, and when the time comes, the third master and the second uncle in the clan will dare to embarrass their family everywhere.

Ning Xuan looked at his mother for a while, his brows furrowed for a while, and then he smiled, with his understanding of his mother, his mother must have thought of some good way.

Summer has arrived, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, everyone has no appetite to eat, Xiao Man remembered the cool skin, the cold powder is really too much to eat in the summer, the housekeeper and the aunt in the kitchen followed Xiao Man, sweating in the kitchen for a whole afternoon, and finally succeeded, looking at the thin crystal clear cool skin, Xiao Man has just begun to swallow saliva, wiped the sweat on his forehead, Xiao Man opened his mouth and shouted, "Shi Chao come to help", in the kitchen, Shi Chao squatted in front of the stove with a mask, and the sweat beads flowed down in large pieces, The bottom of the pot is dyed with a blazing fire, Shi Chao looks at the busy Xiaoman, as if he has returned to the time when he was a child to cook the pot by himself, Xiaoman cooks, now Xiaoman looks much more skilled than before, and does not dislike this pot is big, the shovel is not easy to use, the red little face, raise his hand to wipe the sweat, Xiaoman is always very patient with eating, a few people pinched the dough for a long time, pinched for a long time and left a small piece of sticky things, and a few large pots of turbid flour water, waited for a long time, steamed out a thin transparent thing, I don't know what Xiaoman is happy about, how delicious this thing is.

Shi Chao patiently burned the pot, watching the transparent things come out of the pot, Xiao Man asked people to smear oil one by one and put it aside to dry and cool, and after half a day, those transparent things were actually made quite thick.

Xiaoman let people prepare the cooking water and garlic juice early, cut the cucumber shreds finely, and specially let people pack them, put them in the well to chill, after the cold skin is cold, cut into more than one foot of messy strips, add the cooking water, garlic juice, vinegar, chili oil in a large basin and mix well and sprinkle in the cucumber shreds, okay, it's done, Xiaoman carefully poured the adjusted cold skin into everyone's bowl, "Okay, everyone come to taste, not enough to eat is mixing." ”

Xiao Man handed Shi Chao a bowl and went to Gu Shi with a big bowl in his arms, "Mother...... Look at the delicious food I made, come and try it. ”

Gu's spirit is not good these days, it's too hot and his appetite is not good, Xiaoman wants to get something to relieve the heat and summer, in fact, Xiaoman doesn't know that Gu's heart is on his mind, since Mrs. Ning mentioned to him that Ning Xuan likes Xiaoman, saying that he wants to marry their family, Gu's is very happy, Xiaoman's marriage has always been a heart disease in his heart, Xiaoman was sold to a brothel, although his body is still innocent, but it is not good after all, Xiaoman is still in business, and he goes out every day to show his face, Busy with those men day and night, Gu is worried that people will gossip, the girl's family can go outside all day and night like a man, Xiaoman's reputation will definitely be damaged, before Gu also thought that if there is really no suitable person with an innocent family background and Xiaoman's age, then let Xiaoman find a person with an innocent family background who died of his wife to continue the string for others, although the age may be a little older, but it is better to marry the Ming media, how can it be better to give the little wife of the family, As for the outer room, don't even think about her life is to eat the loss of the outer room, it is impossible to let Xiao Man be a concubine and the outer room for others, what Mrs. Ning said to Gu after the banquet that day made Gu heartbroken, Ning Xuan What a good young man, whether it is appearance, family background or personality, it is all the best and best, I don't know how many young ladies are worried about it, and now this great good thing has fallen on Xiao Man's head, Gu has been trying to mention it to Xiao Man on the way back from the banquet, But Na and the Shirley County Lord had to go home with Xiao Man, they had lived here for so long, every time they were alone with Xiao Man for a while, they just wanted to talk about Ning Xuan's affairs, who knew that the Shirley County Lord would be there in a while, Gu Shi swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and this matter has become a heart disease in Gu's heart for many days.

Finally waited until the county lord of Shirley left, Xiaoman was busy every day and disappeared, and finally came back at night, Gu saw that she could fall asleep after eating, so he couldn't bear to pull her to say anything, so he could only take care of Xiaoman so that she could eat and sleep well.
