The third day of the first month of March is a complicated festival, Shen Shimei also asked the cucumber, the cucumber said that it was the birthday of the queen mother, and said that it was a few years of Nuwa Fuxi or something, anyway, this festival is to go out for a spring outing.

As soon as the day dawned, as soon as the city gate opened, Shen Shiliu went out of the city, out of the city gate, and there were many cars, horses and pedestrians along the way to Tanshan.

Shen Shiliu didn't show up, she was always in the carriage, she didn't participate in the spring outing of the Shangsi Festival before, she felt that it was still a little early, she was still used to going out during the Qingming Festival.

"Cucumber, Xiao Tie, you will find someone in a while, after seeing that Zhuo Shu'er, remember to call me!" Shen Shiliu said in the carriage.

Xiao Tie nodded: "I know the young grandmother!" ”

"Fushun, can you really recognize which son is from which family?" Shen Shiliu asked the big housekeeper of Fushun who acted as a coachman this time.

Fushun patted his chest and promised: "Young grandma, this is all a trivial matter, which adult is here in the house on weekdays, how can I admit that I missed it?" "He has changed from an ordinary long-term worker to the big housekeeper of the Du family, and he must also have some housekeeping skills, not to mention anything else over the years, the ability to recognize people is first-class, even if he has never seen one side, he can tell from his nose which family this person may be a relative!

When a few people arrived at Tanshan Lake, Shen Shimei still didn't get out of the car, afraid that if Zhuo Shu'er saw it, she would not be able to act in secret, and there was a scarf next to her, if there was really any special situation, she might as well disguise herself.

Xiao Tie and the cucumber went to find it, but the cucumber actually ran away, after all, she had never seen Zhuo Shu'er.

"There!" Xiao Tie saw Zhuo Shuer in a pink robe by the lake, because of her outstanding appearance, Zhuo Shuer was quite eye-catching among the housekeepers.

Xiao Tie pointed, and the cucumber said, "Wait, I'll go and inform the young grandmother!" So saying, he ran to the carriage.

Shen Shiliu saw that someone had found it, so he said to Fushun: "You go, look at the young sons around, everyone has a few more glances at Zhuo Shu'er!" ”

Fushun received the order, and Xiao Tie led the way to the cucumber.

Shen Shiliu waited in the carriage alone for a while, then saw Fushun coming back, and said, "There is one, it is Hu Ping, the eldest son of the Hu family's grocery store in the north of the city!" ”

"North of the city?" As soon as Shen Shiliu heard that it was Chengbei, he said, "Then the business should be very good, right?" ”

Fushun nodded: "What the young grandmother said is not wrong, this Hu family is backed by the family, and takes care of the shop for the family, although it is not the lintel of the family, but it is also a wealthy businessman!" ”

"Then what kind of character is the eldest son of their family?" Shen Shiliu asked.

Fushun thought for a while and said: "This Hu Ping doesn't have any bad comments, after all, in this Kyoto City, those who do business are not much into the stream, and they don't dare to be arrogant, but this Hu Ping has some knowledge, although he has a reputation, but because the noun is not very high, he has never been an official, and he is not a straw bag." ”

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he said, "What about the cucumbers?" Called! ”

Fu followed the sound and went to call someone, and after a while, the cucumber came over and asked, "What do you have to tell the young grandmother?" ”

Shen Shiliu whispered a few words in the cucumber's ear, and then asked the cucumber to do it, the cucumber had a smile on her face, and she was willing to be a matchmaker.

After a while, the cucumber took a bunch of wormwood and walked to Zhuo Shu'er's side and said, "This young lady, this is the wormwood that my son-in-law gave to Miss." ”

Because wormwood can drive away evil spirits, sending a bouquet of wormwood on the third day of the first month of March also has the meaning of love.

As soon as Zhuo Shu'er saw that someone was giving her wormwood, she asked, "Who is your son-in-law?" ”

The cucumber pointed to Hu Ping not far away, and said, "That's my son-in-law, the eldest son of the Chengbei Grocery Village, Hu Gongzi!" ”

Zhuo Shu'er looked in the direction pointed by the cucumber, and it happened that Hu Ping also looked over, and when he saw the beauty looking at him, he smiled shyly, this beautiful misunderstanding came about in this way.

When the cucumber saw that the word had arrived, she hurried away, lest she be exposed in a moment.

The cucumber came back with a piece of small iron, Shen Shimei lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked over, looking at the shy eyebrows of the handsome man and the beautiful woman, and was relieved.

"Let's go, go home!" Shen Shiliu just said, Xiao Tie said: "Young grandma, I want to pick some wormwood and go back to make some grass cakes to eat."

!”

The cucumber teased: "How do you know how to eat!" ”

Shen Shiliu laughed and said, "Pick it, go back and make it for your young grandmother!" ”

As soon as he heard that Shen Pomegranate was cooking, the cucumbers couldn't sit still, and even Fushun hurriedly got out of the car to pick them, and soon got a few handfuls back.

A few people went home, Shen Pomegranate processed wormwood, the taste of wormwood is more rushing, if it is directly used to make grass cakes, it is estimated that the taste of ordinary people is heavy, so let the wormwood be selected first, leaving only the young leaves, and those hard rods will be thrown away.

"Go get some mung beans and cook them, remember to put less water!" Shen Shiliu said, cucumber hurriedly went to the kitchen to work, and came back with a pot of mung beans half an hour later.

Shen Pomegranate began to pound the mud, and after removing the hard skin from the outside, it was made into mung bean paste.

The picked mugwort leaves are also steamed in the pot, and then the same mud is pounded, and finally mixed with mung bean paste, and then the filling is adjusted, so that it is not sweet or greasy, and then it is wrapped into pastries with glutinous rice in the old way.

When Jingwen went home, she heard that Shen Shimei was sitting on a straw cake here, so she came over to help with the bag.

"I've seen that you've been busy these days, if there is a suitable person in the school and the food road, you can take care of it, how can one person take care of it all." Shen Shiliu said, now Jingwen is all Zheng Erzhu helping, but Zheng Erzhu is also alone, and he is also lacking in skills.

Jingwen nodded: "I'm already looking for a suitable candidate, but the second cousin is really too busy." Now that Zheng Erzhu has just loved her daughter, she is embarrassed to let Zheng Erzhu run away at this time.

Shen Shiliu nodded and said, "Is this person easy to find?" It's not easy to find talented people, and those with good intentions are even more out of a hundred. ”

Jingwen smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu said that he would call his proud son to help." ”

Xu Mao has many students, and not all of them are officials in the court, and some of them have different skills.

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he smiled: "That's good, then I will also bring some grass cakes to Mr. Xu at this moment, and I will say that it is a thank you gift from me!" ”

Jingwen was speechless: "Mr. Xu said that as long as my sister-in-law continues to eat three meals a day, he will agree to anything!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "It seems that people still have to have a skill!" "She doesn't cook all the dishes on Xu Mao's side, but the menu is all given by her, Xu Mao is old, and she can't eat anything greasy, and she also sends these health meals to the same way, Xu Mao is not tired of eating.

In the evening, the grass cakes made by Shen Pomegranate came out of the pot, and they took two plates of food boxes and asked Jingwen to send them to Xu Mao, and the rest was shared by the family. There are a lot of bags, and everyone in the family, from Du Niangzi to the little girl, has a few, and everyone eats happily.

Du Xuanmo came back in the evening, knowing that Shen Pomegranate had been tossing for a day, and smiled.

"Qingqing has your sister-in-law to take care of it, and it is estimated that she can wake up laughing when she dreams." Du Xuanmo said.

"Your brother didn't contribute less!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile.

After a woman gets married, if the mother-in-law takes a concubine for her husband, the daughter-in-law cannot refute it, if she refutes, it is jealousy, that is not virtuous, and there is no place to say reason.

Du Xuanmo directly transferred Qin Yushu, Shen Shiliu will draw another salary, Mrs. Qin will not be able to use any more thirty-six plans this time!

…………

As soon as April arrived, Du Niangzi looked forward to the letter from Yuanning County every day, and she could be born in mid-April at the earliest. Du Niangzi wants to see whether Yin Qingqing has a boy or a girl, if it is okay to give birth to a boy, if it is a girl, then there must be a lot of bad things behind.

Shen Shiliu knew that Du Niangzi was in a hurry, so he asked Mancang to run again, and it was time to give birth to the day.

"Mother, Mancang has already set off, if there is news, I will definitely send a message back as soon as possible!" Shen Shiliu comforted Du Niangzi, because of Yin Qingqing's matter, Du Niangzi couldn't sleep well for a few days.

Du Niangzi also knew and said: "I'm worried that she will give birth to a daughter!" ”

"If you give birth to a daughter, you will give birth to a daughter, and the Qin family will not dare to take a concubine!" Shen Shiliu said.

Du Niangzi saw that Shen Shimei was so confident, and she also knew that Shen Shimei must have a way, and the Qin family did that a few days ago, just so that Yin Qingqing didn't have to have another sister.

"If Qingqing can't give birth to a son, you can't let Qingqing follow Qin Yushu all her life!" Du Niangzi was a little deflated, and she could be transferred away, but how could she live comfortably outside Kyoto City.

Shen Shiliu said: "Qingqing is quite happy to live outside. "Leaving Mrs. Qin, the mother-in-law, even if the living conditions are not as good as those in Kyoto City, as long as you live comfortably, you don't ask for anything.

Du Niangzi also knew that Shen Shiliu was telling the truth, and now she had no choice but to wait for news here.

Shen Shimei had nothing to do and asked the cucumber to find a matchmaker, and a few days later, there was a good thing from the Qin family, Zhuo Shuer and Hu Ping, the eldest son of the Hu family, fell in love, and the Hu family also sent the matchmaker to propose marriage, which caught Mrs. Qin off guard.

Mrs. Qin saw the matchmaker come to the door and directly refused: "Our family Shu'er will not marry!" "It's also how ugly it is.

When the matchmaker heard this, he said, "Our Miss Zhuo seems to be seventeen, and she always wants to get married!" ”

Mrs. Qin said: "Naturally, you have to marry someone, but you don't marry a businessman's family!" "Where is the businessman comparable to her son Qin Yushu's status and ghost.

The matchmaker frowned and said, "Madam, you can't say that, the Hu family is backed by a family, which is different from ordinary businessmen, and the grocery village is so big, and the annual income can also make Miss Zhuo eat and wear without worry, wearing gold and silver!" ”

Mrs. Qin was irritable, and the matchmaker kept chattering here, so she said directly: "I can't say that I can't get married, and if you talk a lot of nonsense like this, I'll beat you out!" ”

The matchmaker had never seen any battles, and said, "Don't be angry, madam, but who are you going to marry if you don't marry outside?" I heard some rumors outside, Mrs. is going to keep this Miss Zhuo for her son as a concubine, originally I didn't believe it, after all, they are related, and they generally don't want their good daughters to be concubines, but now I look at it, I can't believe it! ”

When Mrs. Qin heard this, her face darkened, and she said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

The matchmaker hurriedly laughed: "Yes, yes, it's my nonsense, Madame's face is a kind-hearted person, how can she do such a lack of morality, and the spread of this family is not to make people poke the backbone!" ”

"You're ......!" Madam Qin was speechless.
