Chapter 289: The Xiao family came to hire
"Thank you, miss." Wen Xing and Bi Hua said, and sat next to Jing Ning one after another.
Because he should eat some light meals in the morning, although Wen Xing made a lot of dishes, they were basically some vegetables and the like, and there were no meat dishes such as fried.
"Miss, I'll serve porridge." Wen Xing looked at the dishes on the dinner table, and always felt that something was missing, she suddenly patted her head and suddenly realized.
"Go ahead."
Wen Xing hurriedly went out to serve porridge, and Bihua also went out.
Jing Ning picked up the chopsticks, tentatively picked up a green vegetable and tasted it, it was okay, there was no strange taste.
After about a while, Wen Xing and Bihua came in and put a bowl of porridge in front of Jing Ning.
This morning, Wen Xing made rice porridge. Jing Ning scooped a spoonful, it was very fragrant and delicious.
"Wen Xing, it's good, the cooking skills are quite good." Jing Ning exclaimed.
Wen Xing said with a smile: "It's average, as long as Miss likes it." ”
"Okay, I'll leave you breakfast from now on." Jing Ning said.
The smile on Wen Xing's face froze for a moment, Bihua next to him snickered, Wen Xing pursed his lips and bowed his head in agreement. "Okay."
Jing Ning took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and eating the vegetables, and then Wen Xing and Bihua began to move the chopsticks.
Jing Ning is a young lady, they are respectful, they are inferior, and they can't eat before Jing Ning.
After the three of them finished eating, Wen Xing and Bihua went to clean up the dinner table, while Jing Ning was bored reading.
"By the way, Wen Xing, what about the things I got back last night?" Jing Ning asked suddenly.
"Something?" Wen Xing was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Miss was referring to the mask and lantern. "Does Miss want the mask and lantern?"
"Put the lantern there, give me the mask." Jing Ning closed the book in his hand and said.
After a while, Wen Xing came in, handed the mask in his hand to Jing Ning, and said with a smile: "Miss, you like this mask so much, who gave it to you, it can't be Xiao Gongzi, right?" ”
Jing Ning's face turned red, and he didn't look up, just looked at the rabbit mask in his hand, "Wenxing, you're so long-winded." Go get busy. ”
Wen Xing smiled and left.
Jing Ning stared at the mask in his hand, thinking of the scene when Xiao Rin accompanied him to the lantern festival last night, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
She put the mask in her hand on her face and looked in the mirror, which reflected a white rabbit. Jing Ning thought that what he gave Xiao Rin was a gray one, and laughed happily. After realizing that he was laughing, he quickly took off his mask, and his cheeks turned crimson.
"Miss." As soon as Bihua entered the house, she saw Jing Ning sitting in front of the mirror, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were moving, she was stunned all of a sudden, she felt that her young lady was really beautiful and beautiful, and she couldn't help but look stunned.
"What's wrong?" Jing Ning put the mask on the table, and turned around to find Bihua looking at him blankly, a little funny, Bihua has always been steady, but now she is like Wen Xing.
Bihua came back to her senses, "Miss, Xiao Gongzi is here." ”
Xiao Rin? Jing Ning was a little puzzled, what was Xiao Rin doing today? It's been the New Year, could it be that there are other things?
"It's not just Gongzi Xiao, General Xiao is also here." Bihua said.
Huh? Jing Ning was really stunned this time, she frowned, I don't know what General Xiao is doing in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time? I suddenly thought that the two parents said that they would get married in the early spring of the next year, and now the Spring Festival has passed, the early spring is February, and now it has passed the fifteenth day of the first month...... Thinking of this, Jing Ning felt that her heart was beating very hard, Xiao Rin, did they want to hire today to determine the date of marriage?
Bihua who Jing Ning thought of also thought of it, and now seeing Jing Ning's shyness, Bihua couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss, isn't this Xiao Gongzi here to be hired?" It seems that Xiao Gongzi is quite anxious. ”
Zheng Anyan heard that Xiao Rin's family was here, and he was a little puzzled at first, this Lantern Festival has just passed, is there anything wrong? Later, when I thought about it, the Lantern Festival meant that the Spring Festival was over.
At the beginning, the two families said that they would get married in the early spring of the next year, but now more than half of the first month has passed, and the early spring is about to come, so they began to come to the door to hire.
Zheng Anyan had a breath in his heart, this Lantern Festival had just passed, and Xiao Rin came with Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, which showed the eagerness in his heart. When I thought that the girl I had raised with hard work was about to get married, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. But it doesn't matter if it's uncomfortable, the key is that Jing Ning can be happy in the future.
I heard that Jing Ning saw Xiao Rin when he was visiting the lantern festival last night, and Xiao Rin hurriedly came to hire him today, which shows that he really has Jing Ning in his heart, and Zheng Anyan is also very relieved in his heart.
"Invite Lord Xiao's family to the main hall. I'll be there later. Zheng Anyan said to his subordinates.
Zheng Anyan went to the main hall after getting all dressed. As soon as I entered the main hall, I was startled by the dowry on the ground. However, he was also calm, strolled into the house, and greeted Father Xiao first, "Brother Xiao." ”
"Brother Zheng." Father Xiao seems to be in a good mood today.
"Hello Uncle Zheng." Xiao Rin stood up and said to Zheng Anyan, with an extremely respectful attitude.
Zheng Anyan nodded. looked at Father Xiao again, his face puzzled, "Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" His eyes swept over the gifts on the floor.
Father Xiao laughed, "Brother Zheng is so smart, wouldn't he know what I'm going to do?" ”
Zheng Anyan also smiled, his eyes flickered, and he swept over Xiao Rin who was silently looking at him next to Xiao's father without leaving a trace.
Xiao Rin pursed her lips, a little uneasy.
Father Xiao and Zheng Anyan talked a little more, most of which were to discuss the marriage date of the two children.
Father Xiao glanced at Xiao Rin, who was silent next to him, although Xiao Rin was still indifferent on his face, he was his father and knew Xiao Rin very well, so he also knew that Xiao Rin's indifference on the surface was just to cover up his inner tension.
Father Xiao smiled and said to Zheng Anyan: "Brother Zheng, these are the dowry gifts of our Xiao family. ”
Zheng Anyan motioned to the housekeeper to take down these large boxes, and the red satin covered the outside, which looked particularly festive.
"Brother Zheng, let's set the specific date of marriage today." Father Xiao continued.
Xiao Rin's hand holding the teacup suddenly clenched.
Zheng Anyan sighed in his heart, but his face was still smiling, "It's okay." ”
"There are a lot of good days in February. The second day of February is when the dragon raises its head, and the eighth day of the first month is the sting, and there are other days besides that. I don't know what Brother Zheng thinks? Father Xiao only said the auspicious day in early February, but the others just clicked, and the discerning person knew at a glance that he wanted Zheng Anyan to choose one of these two days.
Zheng Anyan touched his beard, and knew very well what Father Xiao was thinking about, he actually wanted to drag the days back, but he thought that Jing Ning was also happy with Xiao Rin in his heart, so he gave up.
"It's better on the eighth day of the second month." Although Zheng Anyan figured it out in his heart, he felt that it was a day to delay it for a day, so he spoke.
