After Wu Yuan and Wu Yijin re-combed their hair and faces, the maid came in and respectfully said that dinner was ready.

The two of them came out of the warm pavilion for dinner, Yi Jin preferred sweets, and Wu Yuan specially ordered the dinner to be prepared for four happy dumplings, hydrangea crisps, tonghua buns, braised silver carp heads and the like.

Wu Yijin sat down, looking at the table full of her favorite food, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but smile.

Yuzhu pursed her lips and snickered and took a small bowl of scallop ginkgo porridge and handed it to Wu Yijin, Wu Yijin scooped a small spoonful with a spoon, tasted a small bite, and said with a smile: "The meals made in the small kitchen of the middle courtyard are exquisite and delicious, and the taste made in our east courtyard is always lacking, and I have told them several times, they can't learn it, eldest sister, you have to appreciate the people in the small kitchen." ”

"Where is the East Courtyard that is not delicious, it is obviously your little mouth that is difficult to serve! Reward, of course I rewarded it, Miss Yijin said that she was rewarded, and I dare not listen to it. Wu Yuan smiled and sandwiched a small piece of hydrangea crisp in Wu Yijin's dish, "Here, hydrangea crisp, I hope our little lady throws a hydrangea and throws a good man!" Then the third aunt will be happy! ”

Wu Yijin's face turned crimson, and she pretended to be angry and said, "Eldest sister, you are still making trouble!" I'll be angry if you make trouble again! ”

After speaking, Wu Yijin put down her chopsticks and stopped eating angrily.

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, the little lady is going to be angry." Wu Yuan hurriedly said with a smile, and flattered Wu Yijin with a small dumpling.

Wu Yijin picked up the chopsticks again, curled the corners of her mouth and continued to eat.

After dinner, the two cleaned their hands, drank the tea brought by the maid, and teased the tabby.

The tabby has grown up a lot now, Wu Yuan is easy to almost can't hold it, it always goes out early and returns late, and only jumps down from the eaves of the corridor when it arrives at the meal, which frightened the maid passing by under the corridor screams, and several times when it comes to the meal, the maid is looking for fresh fish all over the yard, and can't find where the tabby is.

Wu Yuan simply put a silver bell around the tigerby's neck, as long as it jumped in the yard, the maid would know where to find it, and lest it be caught as a wild cat.

Since then, as long as you hear the crisp silver bell ringing from afar, you will know that the tabby is back with a leisurely cat step, with a fat body and a fat cat face, slowly dancing in the yard is very cute.

Wu Yuan was quite helpless, raising a cat and raising a cat uncle, not at home all day, there was something delicious, and he came back with a smell.

Seeing that the sky was dark, Wu Yijin said goodbye to Wu Yuan reluctantly: "Sister, when will I come back, remember to let the small kitchen cook my favorite food!" Don't say that you leaked your mouth to let my mother know, I said that we embroidered together! ”

Wu Yuan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I know, I'm verbose, I've said it several times on the way back from school." ”

Wu Yijin relieved herself to call the maid to put on her cloak, "Aunt Chuntao, you remember to remind the eldest sister to invite me to come to the middle courtyard from time to time to play, the eldest sister always asks me to take the initiative to invite me to come!" ”

"Waiting for Miss Xiao at any time." Chun Tao said with a smile as she stood under the porch.

Wu Yuan instructed the maid to carry the lantern to Wu Yijin, and Wu Yijin was surrounded by the maid and the woman and went out of the middle courtyard.

"Miss Yijin is really interesting, such a big person, and she looks like a child." Chun Tao said with a smile.

Wu Yuan smiled when he heard this, "It's not, it's like a little gluttonous cat, so greedy, the third aunt should blame me when she goes back, so that Yi Jin eats so much carelessly." ”

"The third lady is really in charge of Miss Yijin, she has to take care of how much she eats, no wonder Miss Yijin is so greedy outside, no one is watching, don't you have to have a good time." Chun Tao brought hot water, moistened the veil and handed it to Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan took the handkerchief, put it on his face, and said with a smile; "I heard that the third aunt was a big beauty when she was young, and she was taken by the third uncle at a glance, so it's no wonder she took Yijin's figure so seriously."

Chun Tao shook her head and smiled, and after serving Wu Yuan to change her clothes, she gently retreated.

Wu Yuan took out the medical book, flipped through a few pages, and rested early.

Here Wu Yijin returned to the east courtyard, and sure enough, she saw that the main room was still lit, and Jiang was sitting on a soft stool waiting for her.

Wu Yijin smiled and asked Jiang to say goodbye.

Jiang Shi saw Wu Yijin's bulging little belly, "I knew that you wouldn't come back directly after school, so I sent a little maid back to say that there was a problem with embroidering a veil with your sister in the middle courtyard, and I went to your sister's place to eat, right?" ”

Wu Yijin threw herself into Jiang's arms coquettishly, "I just ate a little bit, it's really a little bit, my sister has to keep me, and I can't fall in my sister's face... ”

After speaking, Wu Yijin pretended to be quite reluctant.

"I know that you eat and drink nonsense, I see that you will become a fat girl when the time comes, who will dare to marry you!" Jiang poked Wu Yijin's brain, and said with hatred, "Your sister can't get fat no matter how she eats, you can get fat if you eat a little!" ”

"I think there are a lot of young talents lined up to come to our house to marry my delicate daughter!" Wu Shuda changed his clothes and came out of the house, and said with a smile, "We don't have to get married!" Keep them all waiting in line! I can't bear to marry my delicate daughter so early. ”

"That's it! It is! Still Dad understands me! Wu Yijin grinned, "My sister hasn't married yet, so I'm not in a hurry!" ”

Jiang pointed at Wu Shuda and said: "It's all like you, look at what she is used to, there is no one who is beautiful, no one will marry her, you will keep her for the rest of your life!" ”

"Raise it, don't I Wu Shuda can't afford to raise my daughter!" Wu Shuda smiled and took Jiang's hand, "Madam, Yi Jin is still young, what are you anxious about, there are hundreds of women in the family, are the daughters of my Wu family still afraid that no one will ask to marry?" ”

Seeing this, Wu Yijin gently retreated.

Jiang muttered quietly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to choose a good door... ”

Wu Shuda's face was gloomy when he heard this, "... It's all blamed for being a husband, and there is no official and half-job, otherwise you wouldn't have to be so anxious about Yijin's family affairs. ”

Jiang Shi saw Wu Shuda's face was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Where can I blame the master, I have been married to the master for so many years, can I still not understand the master's ambition?" The lord is most envious of those who live in seclusion, in the past, the court gave officials to the lord, but the lord did not go. ”

Jiang Shi paused, "It's just that the old man can still ask questions wholeheartedly, concentrate on learning, and make friends with Confucianism, since the incident in the long room, the eldest brother was arrested, the vitality of the Wu family was greatly damaged, and our third room is also a lot of money, and Yijin is getting bigger, we still have to think about our daughter's future." ”

Wu Shuda was silent for a while, and then said, "Why don't I write to Mr. Huaiyu and ask them to help, and see if I can ask for a half-official position." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shi looked up at Wu Shuda and said softly, "That's fine." If I can really get an official position, I will follow you to take office at that time, and it is good to leave Yangzhou, anyway, I and Cui's are always a little awkward. ”

Wu Shuda patted Jiang's hand and looked out the window in silence.
