There was only a bowl of white rice, a plate of stir-fried yellowed vegetables, a plate of sliced ham, and a bowl of egg soup with clear soup and little water.

The bellflower's face was not good-looking, and the malt shouted directly.

"The kitchen is too bullying, and the leftover rotten leaves dare to be fried and sent up, and this ham is still leftover in the morning. No wonder the woman handed me the food box and ran away without looking back. Girl, it's better to take advantage of my wife's absence, I'll go to the kitchen and make a fuss, smash it to a mess, and see if they dare to look down on people like this. ”

Xun Qingran frowned when he saw this meal, but he still stopped the malt.

"You have a bad temper, no matter how many times I have said you, I just can't change it. Fortunately, there is no one in the courtyard today, otherwise if you say it, people will miss you again. ”

The kitchen is fat, and it has always been used by Fang's henchmen. It's not a matter of a day or two for the kitchen to deduct her share. In the past, Mrs. Shen was in charge of the kitchen, and Xun Qingran was bribed and subdued, but they didn't dare to be too out of line, and they didn't treat her badly in terms of food.

It's just because I don't know what happened that I annoyed the four girls. Fang's family felt that Mrs. Shen was old and negligent, so it was not appropriate to receive a kitchen messenger anymore, so he asked He Shan's daughter-in-law to come down for her. This He Shan's father He Zhong is a comprador in Xunfu, and he can't say how he can do it, but he is the best at low and small, and he is willing to use money to open the way, so he has always occupied the fat gap, and now he has arranged his daughter-in-law to the kitchen.

He Shan's daughter-in-law took office as a new official, and she was about to tie up the above, and everything was only based on Fang's eyes. She is several times more greedy than Mrs. Shen, and she doesn't look at these concubines and concubines in her eyes.

"Girl, the kitchen is so unseemly. Girl, think of a way. Kikyo also spoke.

The subordinates looked at the face of the mistress and acted on her face, but the mistress also wanted a virtuous reputation. The people do things, and there is a lot of flexibility in this. Those who have a little conscience will not do too much. He Zhong is a comprador and wants to curry favor with the Fang family, he is very snub to Xun Junhui, and always thinks of deducting his share, He Shan's daughter-in-law and him are all the way, and it seems that he is also a vicious dog. Xun Qingran groaned slightly, and already had an idea in his heart. Instruct bellflowers, malt and others not to go out and talk about how bad the kitchen is.

Xun Qingran saw that the soup was quite clean, so she ate half a bowl of rice with the soup. Thinking that her meals were like this, not to mention the people below, he took out the shou wu cake and sponge cake he brought back, and let the bellflower go and eat it with the malt and the pearl.

After lunch, Xun Qingran took a nap. At the second moment of Shen Chu, someone reported that the Fang clan had returned. Xun Qingran hurriedly changed his clothes, asked the bellflower to take two begonias, and went to Fang's house to say goodbye.

Before entering the house, he heard the laughter like a silver bell, and Xun Qingran knew that the eldest girl Xun Shufang and the fourth girl Xun Shulan were also in the house. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Fang Shi squinting slightly and leaning on the big couch, there was a low table at Fang's feet, Xun Shufang and Xun Shulan were sitting next to them, fiddling with the things on the table, talking and laughing.

Xun Qingran first saluted the Fang family, and then sent two begonias, "...... Thinking of asking for some new patterns for the quilt embroidered by his wife, he went to Xifu to draw patterns according to the begonias. These two begonias were given to his wife by the people who watched the garden in Xifu. ”

Fang Shi sat up slightly straighter and looked at the begonia, with a smile on his face, "It's hard for you to have this filial piety, and you think about me even if you get two flowers." Then he called the girl next to him, "Go and put up the flowers." When you are free for the past two days, you should also go to the Begonia Garden. ”

Xun Shufang got down from the couch and took the begonia first, "What a beautiful begonia, especially this white begonia, it is like a baby in Xifu." The third sister still has a big face, I went over there two days ago, and wanted to break a branch to my mother, but the old man who watched the garden stopped me and didn't let me, and said viciously. When will I borrow the light of my third sister and get two good branches. ”

Xun Shufang is seventeen years old this year, with shaved shoulders and a water snake waist, and her figure is very in line with classical aesthetics. Coupled with the white and tender melon seed face, apricot eyes, and the standard beauty billet. People in the house privately said that her appearance and her short-lived biological mother, Aunt Wu, seemed to come out of the same mold.

When the third master's family was there, he took care of Xun Qingran and Xun Junhui's sisters and brothers. It's no secret that Kikyo and Han, who manages the garden in Xifu, are a family. Xun Qingran can enter and exit the Begonia Garden, everyone knows it. It's just that few people know how often she went there and what she did there.

Xun Qingran didn't pay attention to Xun Shufang's provocation, and said in a flat tone: "It's still the eldest sister who is bold, so I don't dare to go to the begonia in Xifu by myself." This time, it was Xifu filial piety to his wife, so I brought it by the way. There are also for the eldest sister, the second sister and the fourth sister. I didn't know that the eldest sister and the fourth sister were here, and they had already been sent to the house of the eldest sister and the fourth sister. ”

"In my opinion, this white begonia is better than the red begonia. Today, there are also begonias in that temple, but they are red, and they are not as good as Xifu. Xun Shulan sat on the couch and didn't move, only looked up at the two begonias. She is only half a year younger than Xun Qingran, her figure is petite, her face is seven or eight points similar to Fang's, her skin is delicate, her facial features are exquisite, but her cheekbones are slightly higher. She is the youngest child of the Fang family, the only girl from the Xun family, she has been held in the palm of Mrs. Fang's hand since she was a child, and she unconsciously brings out an arrogant atmosphere in her actions.

"But two broken flowers are also worth showing off." Xun Shufang handed the begonia to the girl and hugged her, and when she walked past Xun Qingran, she snorted in her nose, and her voice was extremely low, so that only Xun Qingran could hear it.

"It's still the fourth sister who has a vision, how can the begonias in the temple compare to Xifu. The fourth sister loves white begonias, I asked people to see if there were any white begonias given to me, and if there were, I gave them to my sister. Xun Shufang walked up to Xun Shulan and smiled.

"After shopping around for this day, I prefer you two to be in such a spirit, and you will be chattering as soon as you come back. Go back to the house and change your clothes. Fang sent the two out.

Fang went out with the two girls early in the morning, and only came back at this time, and he was tired when he thought about it. Xun Qingran thought about retreating, but Fang pointed to the things on the low table.

"I bought it outside the temple when I came back from the incense and brought it to you and Shuzhi. Take a look at what you like, pick one or two to play. Fang seemed to be in a good mood.

Xun Qing saw that there were prayer beads, sachets, clay figures, and bead flowers on the table, and the materials and workmanship were not good, and they were not valuable things. What Fang said was specially brought to her and Xun Shuzhi, but it was just a favor. This must have been bought by Xun Shufang and Xun Shulan on a whim. Just now she came in, and those two were picking and choosing here. Now that the Fang clan asked her to choose, these should be the ones that the two of them don't want to pick. Therefore, I was relieved to look at it once, and saw a wooden bracelet, no lacquer dyeing, no carving, and the original pattern of the wood was quite clumsy, so I picked it up.

"It's all good, all I need is this bracelet, thank you, ma'am."

Seeing that Xun Qingran only picked one piece, it was still the most worthless, and his heart was smooth, and he asked casually: "I've been back for a while, why haven't I seen the second girl yet?" You live in the same yard with her, what does she do? ”

"I heard that my wife was back, and I was in a hurry to ask for peace, but I didn't pay attention to the second sister." Xun Qing replied.

As he was talking, Xun Shuzhi also came to greet the Fang family. When Fang saw her and Aunt Xiao Wu coming in together, he snorted lightly, and after receiving Aunt Wu's courtesy, he sent her back, leaving only Xun Shuzhi and Xun Qingran sitting on the chairs in front of the couch.

After a while, Xun Shufang and Xun Shulan changed their clothes and came back.

"Hey, there's a wooden bracelet here? Why is it gone? Who took it? Xun Shulan flipped through the things on the table and asked.
