Aunt Cui quickly stopped her steps and turned around.

Mama Xue looked at her from head to toe again, and said coldly: "No wonder my aunt always likes to wear white, they all say that women should be pretty and filial." It's just that our family is the house of the master of the three grades, not that the humble family can't afford to wear silk and satin. Aunt Cui, you walked out wearing this outfit, those who knew would say that you didn't understand the rules, and those who didn't know thought that our wife was mean to you. We can't afford to lose this person! ”

Mama Xue didn't give Aunt Cui a chance to speak, frowned and waved her hand: "Hurry up and go back and change your clothes, you are not allowed to wear any light colors!" Perrin—"

Mama Xue shouted.

"The slave is here." A maid stood up and respectfully obeyed the order.

"You take a few people to accompany Aunt Cui back, and pack up all her impolite clothes for me. Madame will send the tailor to-morrow to tailor new clothes for her. ”

"Yes, Mama, the slave is awake. Aunt Cui, please come with the slaves. ”

Aunt Cui followed the maid out without saying a word, and no one noticed that her palms had pierced the skin of her nails.

At this time, another maid came in and said that Mrs. Xue in the east chamber was looking for someone to invite Mama Xue to come over.

Mama Xue said something to the Xue family and went out.

Sanniang saw that everyone outside was almost gone, and only the Xue family was left, so she got up and walked out from the second room. I happened to see Xue sitting on the main seat with a tired face, reaching out and pinching his eyebrows.

When Xue Shi heard the movement and opened his eyes, he happened to meet Sanniang's calm and clear eyes.

Xue Shi hurriedly put his hand down, sat up straight, and smiled at Sanniang: "You've been waiting for so long." Hungry, right? I'm going to let people pass the food. As he spoke, he asked Mu Lian, who followed Sanniang out of the second room, to the kitchen to say hello and pass the breakfast.

The rice was placed on the kang table in the east room, and the staple food was small flower rolls, silver silk noodles, and longan lotus seed porridge. White fungus bird's nest porridge, fish fillet porridge, three fresh porridge. Crystal steamed dumplings, egg rolls. There are eight side dishes, and there is also an assorted platter. Smoked ham is neatly stacked inside. Crispy duck breast, rose dried meat and other cold dishes.

Everything was packed in a small dish, and the boxy Huanghuali grass dragon pattern three-bend Ganoderma lucidum leg kang table couldn't be placed. The dishes that could not be placed were stacked on a tea tray and placed on a small table.

Finally set the dinner table, Xue beckoned Sanniang to sit cross-legged on the kang.

"You're not used to sitting like this, aren't you? I remember that there is no kang in my hometown in Qingcheng County, Shandong, no wonder you ate so little yesterday? I asked them to go to the storeroom and find a big round table to put in the middle of the room, so that it would be convenient for them to eat. Xue smiled at Sanniang.

Sanniang smiled back at Xue when she heard this: "It wasn't because of this reason that I arrived yesterday, but because I was a little tired." I can't wait to fall asleep while sitting, where can I still take care of eating, I didn't count how many dishes there were on the table yesterday. ”

Saying that, Sanniang pretended to count on the table. Shaking his head: "Today is still too many to count." ”

Xue couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, because this smile was a little lighter. No longer the original restraint.

Seeing that Xue finally stopped laughing, Sanniang said again: "Thank you mother, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to eat all these dishes." ”

Qing Dai, who was waiting on the side, said with a smile: "The third lady doesn't know, our lady's meal is the easiest on weekdays, but it's just five or six things that are turned over and over." Today, when I saw the ladies coming, I specially instructed the slaves and maids to go to the kitchen to keep an eye on them, and let the cooks make a few things for the ladies to taste. In the future, I will know the tastes of the ladies. ”

Hearing this, Sanniang looked at Xue with just the right amount of grateful smile: "Let my mother bother, we will eat whatever my mother eats in the future, and my fifth sister and I are not picky." There's really no need to put so many of them, it's too troublesome. ”

Seeing that his kindness was understood, Xue Shi was happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It's not troublesome, just say what you like to eat." If it's too much, I'll just ask them to send a dozen items a day in different ways. We can't finish eating, just reward the girls to eat. They also rejoiced. ”

Qing Dai hurriedly stepped forward to thank her.

Xue Shi just picked up a pair of ebony silver-covered chopsticks, and suddenly remembered what to frown and said: "Wu Niang hasn't eaten yet, Qing Dai, you pick a few things out, find a food box and send it to Miss Wu, don't be hungry." ”

Qing Dai was busy, picked a few staple foods and side dishes to the side, just the kitchen sent breakfast to the food box and two did not take down, and there was no need to look for it again, so I took a few things that I picked out, and immediately sent them out.

Sanniang waited for Xue to move the chopsticks before starting to use them, and there was already a little maid standing beside her to give her vegetables, she just had to move her eyes. Because she ate less yesterday, Sanniang was really hungry today, so although she looked at Xiangswen, she actually ate a lot.

Xue has been paying attention to what Sanniang likes to eat, thinking about making more in the future, so he didn't eat a few bites.

After the meal was over, when the maids waited for this gargle, Sanniang said, "Mother has no appetite?" How can you eat so little? ”

Xue Shi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I can't eat a lot in the morning on weekdays. ”

Sanniang shook her head: "I once heard an old doctor say that breakfast must be delicious, otherwise it will not be good for your health." Mother should try to eat as much as possible in the future, and it is good to eat less at night. ”

Xue knew that this was a word of concern for her, although she didn't expect her stepson and stepdaughter to treat her like her biological mother, but she also hoped to get along peacefully, so she smiled and nodded: "I know, I will try to eat more every day in the future." ”

Xue's is a little lacking in interpersonal communication, and he always doesn't know how to get along with juniors who are not a few years younger than him, but Sanniang has no difficulty in communication, so under Sanniang's intentional guidance without a trace, the two also talked happily.

In the eyes of the eldest girl who was waiting on the side, it was that Mrs. and the third lady were very close to each other, and they had nothing to say, but they could talk so happily when they saw the third miss.

Xue and Sanniang gradually became familiar with each other, and they were no longer restrained, but they remembered that Wu Niang was wary of her just now because Xue Mama wanted to punish Aunt Cui, and she was inevitably a little uneasy in her heart, but she didn't want to ask Sanniang about this kind of thing, and she just wanted to find an opportunity to avoid Wu Niang's grounding.

After a while, Wang Jing came in to ask the Xue family for peace. Xue's attitude is soft, although Wang Jing doesn't talk much, he has known etiquette since he was a child, so the two get along well. The stone in Xue's heart was finally put down for the most part.

"Mother, sister. Yesterday, my father said that my mother would lead us and the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother to our uncle's house to greet our uncle and grandmother. Wang Jing remembered Wang Dong's instructions yesterday and said busily.

Wang Dong accompanied Wang Bai to drink until late yesterday, and stayed in the outer courtyard to rest.

It's just that when the Xue family didn't pass the door before, Wang Dong stayed in the backyard to rest one day every ten days, but since the Xue family passed the door, he rested less in the outer courtyard, and the days in the outer courtyard and the days in the inner courtyard fell compared with before. The old servants who had been serving all the time knew that this lady was really favored now.

Hearing this, Xue Shi nodded and said, "This is as it should be, I will send someone to Wenjiayuan to say something, and let people prepare the carriage." ”

The house where the king appeared to live was given by the emperor when he was there, and it was located west of the Sheji Altar in the imperial city. The houses there could not be bought with money, and most of them were given by the imperial court to princes and meritorious ministers of the royal family. The courtyard where Wang Xian lived was called Wen Jiayuan, and I heard that in the previous dynasty, it was the residence of a courtier surnamed Wen who thought that he had contributed to the national society, and the owner of the courtyard changed one after another, but the name of the garden was still Wen Jiayuan. After Wang Xian moved in, he only changed the door plaque, but the place was still called Wenjiayuanzi.

"The boy will go to the outer courtyard first and say hello to the big brother." Wang Jing got up and said.

Xue nodded and let Wang Jing go. Wang Jing glanced at Sanniang when he was about to go out.

This glance was seen by the Xue family, thinking that their brother and sister grew up together since childhood and had a deep relationship, and now they live in two courtyards in the inner courtyard, and they are not in the same place for dinner on weekdays, there must be something to say, she is also happy to sell the favor of the two, and immediately said: "Since you want to go out, then Sanniang, you should go back and change your clothes first." ”

Sanniang also knew that Wang Jing had something to say to him, and seeing that Xue was considerate, she smiled at Xue gratefully, got up and blessed her, and then followed Wang Jing out of the courtyard.

The two of them walked out of the main room and walked in the courtyard, and they should be in full view of everyone, and they were not afraid of gossip when they were separated by a distance of more than a foot between them.

"Sister. Uncle He went out after drinking with his father yesterday, and I asked Mr. Deng to follow him. This morning, Mr. Deng came back to report that his uncle had entered a second-entry house on Chestnut Xiejie Street, three blocks away. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Jing's face turned red and he didn't say any more. Sanniang noticed Wang Jing's face, and knew that Mr. Deng must have reported some inappropriate things to him, so she didn't ask again. As long as Wang Bai didn't have an accident, it would be fine.

"You let Mr. Deng continue to stare at it, and you can take action when you find something wrong." Sanniang said softly.

Wang Jing glanced at Sanniang, and stopped talking a little. He remembered what Mr. Deng had reported this morning, and he was a little red-faced, and he felt uneasy about staring at his elders.

Although his sister said that there was something wrong with the woman, he listened to what Mr. Deng said, and knew that it was nothing more than some fireworks woman's means to entrap the benefactor. I really don't see anything wrong. In the past few years, he has been in the outer courtyard, and he is used to listening to the meat words of the entourage, and Wang Ji also told him something, he is no longer the hairy boy who doesn't know anything.

It's just that there are some things that I can't say to my sister.,Forget it.,My sister said to stare at it.。 Anyway, those words wouldn't reach my sister's ears. Wang Jing thought like this, and he was relieved. (To be continued)
