Chapter 106: The Present Is Not What It Used to Be (I)

Rong Hua instructed the maid to sort out the big four-piece red sandalwood cabinet that her mother accompanied, because she wanted to make a snack (intimate) to send to Mrs. Xue, Rong Hua instructed Chunyao, "Go to the small kitchen just to ask Hou Ye's preferences, and by the way, bring out Hou Ye's share." ”

Chunyao nodded in response.

Chunyao entered the small kitchen, and there was a cook surnamed Zheng who was waiting there for a long time, a slightly thin, tall man, with two round dimples on his face when he smiled, and immediately greeted Chunyao when he saw him, "The girl is here, the noodles and stuffing are ready, just waiting for the girl to make it." ”

seemed to be unaccustomed to Mrs. Zheng's flattery, and Mrs. Zhao next to her snorted coldly.

Mrs. Zheng pretended not to hear it, and raised her voice, as if she wanted to attract Chunyao's attention, "What does the young lady want to do?" Does the girl need me to do it? ”

Chunyao smiled and chatted with Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zhao while preparing the filling.

I was going to make ordinary dim sum, but when I saw that the fillings prepared by Mrs. Zheng were complete, I thought of the perfection that Rong Hua had taught before, although it was troublesome to sit up, but fortunately, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zhao were on the side to help, so I didn't like anything, and quickly made two plates.

Mrs. Zheng smiled: "It's rare for a girl to come up with such a good snack." ”

Chunyao smiled: "Where I thought of it, it was Madame who came up with it." ”

Mrs. Zhao said: "Madam is really a careful person. ”

Chunyao smiled slightly, didn't say anything, took a snack and returned to Ronghua's house.

Chunyao walked up to Rong Hua and whispered: "Mrs. Zheng was selected by Mrs. Xue, and Mrs. Zhao was given to Master Hou by the old lady." ”

The small kitchen here is just for making some soups and desserts, but it is accompanied by two chefs.

It seems that Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai have their own thoughts.

There are not many people serving on Xue Mingrui's side, but it is so complicated, everyone has their own careful thoughts, and they will try their best to inquire about something.

One is a grandmother, the other is a mother, and men don't interfere too much in the affairs of the inner house, so it becomes such a situation.

On the surface, the old lady is very partial to the second room and doesn't care much about the long room. But before she came to Xue Mansion as a guest, the old lady talked about the things of Hou Ye when he was a child, and she seemed to be happy from the bottom of her heart.

The hour was almost up, Rong Hua put aside his thoughts for the time being, and took Chunyao and Jinxiu to Mrs. Xue's house.

Rong Hua entered the house, greeted Mrs. Xue, and took the plate of dim sum from Chun Yao's hand, "Mother taste whether this dim sum is delicious." ”

Mrs. Xue saw that the plate of dim sum was very delicately made, the corners of her mouth turned up and smiled slightly, she picked up a piece of dim sum and tasted it, "I'll keep some, and take the rest back to Mingrui to eat, he likes sweets." ”

Rong Hua hurriedly said: "Mother, keep it, I let the maid do the Hou Ye's share." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while.

Mrs. Xue said, "If there is anything missing in the house, come and tell me." ”

Rong Hua smiled slightly, "Where can I lack it, the side rooms of the new house are full, and I am asking the maid to tidy it up, and there are still a few cabinets that are not used." ”

Mrs. Xue drank some tea, "Why don't you rest for two days, these things are not in a hurry." ”

Rong Hua smiled, "Anyway, it's nothing, it's better to clean it up earlier." ”

Mrs. Xue nodded and smiled gently, "If you can't get busy over there, I'll ask Mother Gu to help you." ”

Rong Hua smiled and said, "It's just some clothes, it's not troublesome." ”

Coming out of Mrs. Xue's house, Rong Hua breathed a sigh of relief, if he asked Gu's mother to help...... It's hard to guarantee that Gu's mother won't come up with any ideas, and she won't be able to do it if she doesn't want to. Gu's mother may take this opportunity to clean up all the people around Mrs. Hou, although she can please Mrs. Xue in front of her, but in the eyes of others, she will inevitably become an executioner.

Rather than leave yourself in trouble, it is better to refuse from the beginning.

Rong Hua returned to the house, and the maid had already cleaned up the cabinet, so she personally commanded Xue Mingrui's clothes to be repacked in.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes are all divided, which ones look to be worn regularly and which ones are new.

Xue Mingrui entered the room, Rong Hua was putting clothes in the cabinet with his own hands, his face was raised, he stood on tiptoe slightly, put the clothes properly, and then pursed his lips and smiled, as if he had done a big deal, when he saw Xue Mingrui, he turned around and saluted.

Xue Mingrui said: "What to do?" ”

Rong Hua said with a smile: "Re-clean the cabinet and put all the clothes that Master Hou often wears at hand." "I can find the clothes I put by myself, even if there is no maid in the house.

Xue Mingrui doesn't like to arrange maids on duty at night, and there are few maids in the house on weekdays, whether he likes to be quiet or not, but he is thinking about her, but there are some things that she wants to do herself, and it is not a big deal.

Rong Hua took a piece of clothing from the cabinet, followed Xue Mingrui into the suite, changed his coat and put on a robe.

"I just came out of my mother's house, and my mother said to let me eat in the evening." Maybe I will have to eat with Mrs. Xue in the future, and it is logical that Mrs. Xue will be there during the New Year's holidays.

Xue Mingrui nodded.

Rong Hua took the snack from Chunyao's hand again, "Hou Ye tastes good or not, I heard from the people in the small kitchen that Hou Ye likes sweets, so I let the maid make it." "The people in this courtyard are complicated enough, and it's better to tell the truth than to hide some careful thoughts from him like everyone else.

Xue Mingrui looked at the plate of more than ten peony pattern dim sum, "How could you think of making such a plate of dim sum?" ”

She didn't expect Chunyao to make this plate of dim sum, Rong Hua couldn't help laughing.

……

Mrs. Xue had dinner in the house and returned to the house.

Rong Hua did needlework for a while, and waited until Xue Mingrui came back from the study.

Rong Hua went to make the bed, and asked the maid to come in and serve the two of them to freshen up, and then went to bed.

Rong Hua was lying inside, his heart was beating like a drum at first, and when he saw Xue Mingrui taking the book, he turned the book up by the light, so he breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking in his head, so he fell asleep for a long time.

When Xue Mingrui closed the book and turned his head, what he saw was Rong Hua's quiet sleeping face.

Thinking that he asked about the plate of dim sum, she led him to see her "Rich Flowers Blooming" picture, a flower from bud to open, a form of drawing, connected to look at it like seeing a flower quietly open.

He didn't even see that she still had such a taste.

Early the next morning, Rong Hua and Xue Mingrui went to worship the ancestors of the Xue family, and then went to Mrs. Tai's house to bow to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly laughed and shouted, "Let's leave quickly after eating some food, don't let my mother's side wait in a hurry." ”

After eating, Xue Mingrui rode a horse, and Rong Hua took a sedan chair to Tao's house.

The Tao family got the news, and the third wife and Yanhua were waiting at the door early.

Yanhua had been waiting eagerly, and heard the third lady say, "It's here." Busy looking over, at a glance saw Xue Mingrui riding on a horse, I don't know why, she always felt that this Wu Muhou had a terrifying momentum, couldn't help shrinking her eyes, and then looked at the sedan chair behind, a strange emotion arose in her heart, eager to know how Rong Hua had been in the past two days.

Xue Mingrui's horse arrived first, and the third wife and Yanhua were just about to catch up, but Xue Mingrui got off the horse but turned around and walked to the sedan chair.

Rong Hua got off the sedan chair and saw Xue Mingrui, she was also stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Xue Mingrui to wait for her next to the sedan chair.

The two men both stepped forward and saluted, and then entered the door.

Yanhua kept looking at Rong Hua, seeing that Rong Hua's face was ruddy, there was a shy smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Rong Hua and Xue Mingrui went to pay a family ceremony to Mrs. Tao, Mr. Tao, and Mrs. Tao.

Tao Zhengan hurriedly asked Xue Mingrui to sit down, and smiled and beckoned someone to make good tea.

The eldest lady glanced at Rong Hua quietly, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in her heart, marrying into the Hou Mansion was really different, the whole person seemed to be reborn, and then looked at Rong Hua's face carefully, it must have been good in the Xue family in the past few days, which confirmed that the rumors about Wu Muhou outside were exaggerated.

The eldest lady smiled slightly, her face was happy, but she was even more remorseful in her heart, if it was Yaohua who married the Xue family, how good it would be.

Everyone talked together for a while, Tao Zhengan looked a little restrained, and he was going to observe Xue Mingrui's face after saying a few words, as if he wanted to see something from it.

Rong Hua remembered what Tao Zheng'an was worried about, I was afraid that in the past few days when she was in the Xue family, Gu Ying had come to the house to make trouble again.

Yanhua pulled Rong Hua to the side and sat down, and then asked in a low voice, "How were these two days?" ”

If her face was gloomy, Advantech would probably be happy, and this kind of care would be too explicit.

Rong Hua only smiled slightly, and then nodded.

Advantech's enthusiasm was really frustrated, as if he wanted to find some topic to make himself feel better, Advantech said in a low voice, "You don't know yet, do you?" Gu Ying has already found someone to accept the lottery," she said, and looked around again, and found that no one was paying attention to this side, before she continued, "However, I didn't take anything." ”

Nacai was going to send ten items, but Gu Ying didn't bring anything.

The mother was so angry that she fainted. But Gu Ying said that she would get married in August. ”

Yaohua was about to get married so soon, no wonder Tao Zhengan looked at Xue Mingrui's expression so eagerly, it turned out that he was afraid that his baby daughter would really marry that scoundrel.

Yaohua's marriage to a scoundrel is still a trivial matter, and Tao Zheng'an's hard-earned official position may not be guaranteed.

Advantech finished speaking.

The next person said: "The banquet in front is ready." ”

Tao Zhengan stood up and went to the banquet with Xue Mingrui, and the relatives of the Tao family were waiting to see the new uncle.

sent Tao Zhengan and Xue Mingrui away.

Rong Hua sat with Mrs. Tao for a while, and then was called over by the eldest lady, "You come with me to the back to talk." ”

I went out today and was blown by the wind, and I had a terrible headache, I should have a cold.

Strive for more tomorrow. ()
