The wind is beautiful and the weather is clear.

Xiping Street, Xu Mansion, Zhang lanterns.

The maids and servants up and down were busy early in the morning.

The kitchen is even more busy!

The cutting board is chopped with a shocking sound, shredded and sliced, scraped and deboned, and "bang bang - bang" is endless.

In the small courtyard of the back kitchen, the servants slaughtered chickens and geese, pigs and sheep, and the servants gathered together to wash vegetables and pick vegetables, wash dishes and chopsticks.

Master Su's loud voice rang out in the kitchen from time to time, what was lacking and what was missing, what was not enough, and the errand boy was busy......

In the front yard, the maids came in and out with different things. The servants carried wooden ladders and red ribbons to tie every eaves pillar in the house.

The housekeeper Xu Fu gave a few instructions in the front hall for a while, and then ran to the back kitchen to check on it, and he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

The troupe invited from Xingyuan Mansion carried nine carriages. As they entered the city, the long motorcade quickly caused a commotion. The onlookers turned their heads and ears, discussing which high-ranking family threw money to do a happy event.

In the open space of the garden, the stage is beginning to take shape. In the back rooms, people in the troupe came and went, and people were noisy. The servants put up their dowds and hung up their robes. The singers are babbling on the side, and the swords and guns are playing around, and the straight people are dazzled.

——

Xu Qinghe finished his morning exercise in his yard in the morning, cleaned up neatly, and took Xu Yao to Mrs. Xu's courtyard.

As soon as I entered the bedroom, I saw Mrs. Xu standing there, served by Shuangmei, trying on new clothes.

Xu Qinghe hurriedly stepped up and asked with a grin, "Mother, do you still like this set of clothes?" ”

Mrs. Xu glanced at her daughter, looked at the figure in the mirror, and teased: "Just your crooked stitches, if I really wear them, won't I be laughed at by others!" ”

Xu Qinghe didn't hesitate to laugh at his mother's ridicule, and said with a smile: "It's a big deal to be laughed at, Miss Xu's daughter is not good." Mother rest assured, no one will laugh at you at the birthday party. ”

"You! When I asked you to learn needlework seriously, you fooled me all day long in troubled waters. Mrs. Xu said, "Now that I can't even make a decent dress, what can I do in the future-"

When Xu Qinghe heard this, he hurriedly expressed his merits, "Mother, in order to make these clothes, I specially asked Master Li for advice, and it took half a month to process them day and night, without sleep. Master Li also praised me for doing a very good job. ”

Mrs. Xu laughed when she heard this, looked at her daughter with a look of begging for praise, and teased: "A few clothes have been made for half a month, are you still proud?" ”

Xu Qinghe was immediately depressed, and when he saw that his mother didn't like his words, he deliberately said: "Then mother don't go out in this set of clothes, so as not to be embarrassed——"

When Mrs. Xu saw her daughter's pretty face collapse, she couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "No matter how bad the clothes you made with your own hands, I am willing to wear them out." When you meet people, you will say that this is your filial piety, and it will not be me who will lose face anyway. ”

Xu Qinghe saw that although his mother had been making fun of himself, he actually liked it in his heart. She smiled and said, "Mother just say that her daughter is not afraid." ”

After Mrs. Xu tried on a new set of clothes, she took them off one by one and went to try on another set. Xu Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward to serve with Shuangmei.

"Is your uncle settled there?" Mrs. Xu asked while dressing.

Xu Qinghe replied: "It's almost settled." My daughter will take a look at it later. ”

Mrs. Xu nodded, and asked again, "Has the invited Lang Zhong arrived?" ”

"I sent Uncle Xu to invite yesterday. Sun Langzhong still has a few patients who have not been diagnosed, and he said that he would come to the house today, and he estimated that he would arrive in a while. Xu Qinghe said to his mother.

Mrs. Xu was relieved when she heard this, "If there is no Lang Zhong in the mansion to guard, I am really worried about your uncle." If Sun Langzhong doesn't come for a while, you must remember to send someone to urge. ”

"The daughter knows, and the mother is relieved." Xu Qinghe hurriedly responded.

Mrs. Xu smiled slightly, looked at the figure in the mirror, and said to her: "You can pick clothes and materials, this color is not bad, and I like the flower case very much." ”

Xu Qinghe grinned and said, "Although the mother said that her daughter had bad stitches, she actually liked it tightly in her heart. Besides, how can the clothes I make with my own hands be ugly! ”

Mrs. Xu poked her daughter's forehead with a smile and scolded lightly, "I have never seen a woman more arrogant than you!" I don't know how thick my skin is......"

Xu Qinghe grinned and said to Mrs. Xu: "The stage can be set up at noon, why don't you let them sing a piece to their mother first?" ”

"What are you going to sing about now?" Mrs. Xu said angrily, "A large group of people have just come from Xingyuan Mansion, and you won't let them rest for a while!" ”

Xu Qinghe immediately said: "The mother is kind, but the daughter is not thoughtful. Why don't you let the team leader show your mother the list of tricks, and pick a few first-"

"What's the hurry—" Mrs. Xu said, "I'll bother them in the afternoon, let them have lunch first, and rest for a while." Accommodation is all in order, right? ”

Xu Qinghe said with a smile: "Uncle Xu is all good!" Everything brought by the troupe was moved into the house, and the side rooms were all arranged. ”

Mrs. Xu nodded, "Say hello to the cook, make the food better, don't let people say that Xu Fu is stingy." ”

"Mother rest assured, these things have been instructed a long time ago. It's not the first time I've hosted a big table, so I won't miss anything. Xu Qinghe listened to his mother's series of inquiries and said to her helplessly.

Mrs. Xu just nagged a few words, and when she saw her daughter's helpless face, she couldn't help but smile: "Is this too much to worry about?" I've been doing nothing all day, and I'm not going to be able to say a few words—"

"Mother, I didn't mean that." Xu Qinghe hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother is right, I'll go and re-order them immediately." ”

"It's all in order, and I'm going to tell you what to do!" Mrs. Xu snorted lightly and complained: "Detention me all day long, and don't let people do anything." My old bones are going to fall apart—"

When Xu Qinghe heard this, he immediately shouted injustice, "Mother, I'm not afraid of tiring you!" Otherwise, I wouldn't be too lazy to take care of all the trivial things in this house! ”

Seeing her excited, Mrs. Xu glanced at her and said, "I'm not on the verge of death, where is it so easy to get tired!" You are tired from running around every day, and you have to take care of the housework when you return to the house, how can your body eat! ”

Xu Qinghe smiled, "It turns out that the mother is worried about her daughter." As soon as the birthday passed, the chores in the house were handed over to my mother to take care of, and I was so relaxed. ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she shook her head and said, "I don't want to take care of these things." You're too busy to come back to me—"

Xu Qinghe was puzzled, "Mother is complaining again, and she is worried that I won't be able to bear it." Why don't you take over the family affairs now? ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and said comfortably: "I just want to help you when I have time, so I don't want to be in charge completely." ”

Xu Qinghe was speechless, and he was moved in vain. looked at Mrs. Xu, who was still charming in the glasses, and said, "Mother continues to dress and try on, and I will go to see my uncle." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded and smiled: "Go ahead!" Hurry up and add what you don't need—"

"Got it!" Xu Qinghe responded crisply, turned around and walked out of the door briskly.
