Wangcai looked at the corner of his son's mouth on the right side, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but immediately lowered his head and tightened his shoulders.

Sure enough, Chu Gehuan's slender fingers tapped on the table, sneered, and ordered, "Serve the pen and ink!" ”

Wangcai immediately stepped forward, sharpened the ink on the paper, then took two steps back, stood aside, Chu Gehuan took the pen and dipped the ink, and quickly wrote two letters, dried the ink, folded it into an envelope, and handed it to Wangcai, "Go to the treasury to pick up a few good materials, and send them to Miss Tian Er along with the letter." Keep another letter for the dock proprietress at the end of tomorrow. ”

Wangcai respectfully responded and exited the door.

Besides, Miss Tian Er, after sending Chu Gehuan out, immediately went to her mother's yard, and when she arrived outside the main house, she saw that only Leng Xiang was waiting, so she asked, "Is my mother in the house?" ”

Leng Xiang was doing needlework, and when she saw that it was Madame's favorite second miss, she quickly stood up and replied with a smile, "Second Miss Hui, Madame just ate a few pieces of dim sum, and ordered her to take a break." ”

Miss Tian Er's subordinates twisted the handkerchief hard, and they were anxious to go in to inquire, and they didn't want to disturb their mother's rest, so they couldn't help but turn their anger to Leng Xiang, and scolded, "Mother just ate a snack, how can you rest immediately, you slaves and maids who don't care about it, you don't know how to stop it, and your mother is so good to you on weekdays." ”

Leng Xiang lowered her head, feeling aggrieved, and she had to make amends, "The lesson of the second young lady is that the slave must be more careful in the future." ”

A few little maids behind the second lady squeezed each other's eyes with strange faces, and they talked to other sisters on weekdays, how the second lady was unreasonable, they still didn't believe it, especially Sister Leng Xiang, who was the big girl next to the lady, had some face, and often admonished them not to talk about the master's affairs, but today it was her turn to be scolded, and let her taste what it was like.

Miss Tian Er continued to scold, but Mrs. Tian, who had not yet fallen asleep in the house, had already woken up and asked in a loud voice, "Is Qian'er here, come in." ”

Tian Qian'er heard her mother call her, her face was flushed with a hint of joy, and she still scolded Leng Xiang again, "Wake up your mother, stupid slave, make a pot of honey water." ”

"Yes, yes." Leng Xiang responded with a loud voice, and quickly picked out the bead curtain to send the delicate girl into the house, the bead curtain was put down, and the big and small maids all breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Tian gently rubbed her temples, she had just been woken up from sleep, and she was a little uncomfortable, so she frowned and said, "You girl, I've told you a few times, don't scold the maid at every turn, they are all serving by your side, and in the future, I will pick a few to go with you to your mother-in-law's house, give more favors on weekdays, collect people's hearts, and have someone to help you when you have something." ”

Tian Qian'er hurriedly sat down beside her mother, smiled sweetly and reached out to hug her mother's arm, and said coquettishly, "Mother, why do you say this, Qian'er doesn't marry, Qian'er will be in front of her mother all her life, filial piety to her mother." ”

Mrs. Tian patted her daughter's delicate cheeks fondly, and said angrily, "They are all big girls, and they are still coquettish and foolish with their mothers like this." ”

Tian Qian'er sat up straight and said with a smile, "My daughter is eighty years old, isn't she also my mother's daughter, why can't I be close to my mother?" Just now, my daughter blamed Leng Xiang, and she was also distressed about her mother's body, how could she rest after eating, what if she was flatulent? ”

"It's also my mother's greedy mouth that I ate a few more pieces of snacks, and when I was full, I wanted to sleep for a while, and I don't blame them." Mrs. Tian is a kind person, and Leng Xiang is a big girl who serves in front of her every day, so she naturally protects her more.

Leng Xiangzheng came in with honey water, and when he heard these words, his eyes were grateful, and he poured two cups with his own hands and sent them to Mrs. Tian's mother and daughter, before withdrawing.

Tian Qian'er wanted to inquire about the dim sum thing, but when she heard her mother mention it, she naturally picked up the conversation and asked, "Just now I happened to ask someone to go to the kitchen to get dim sum, so I secretly greedy two plates of my mother's novelty dim sum, and it was really delicious to eat." I heard the maid say that it was the guest who brought the salute, but I don't know where the guest actually has such a good craft. ”

Mrs. Tian also liked that the dim sum brought by Ruixue was light and delicious, and the appearance was funny and cute, so she smiled and said, "During the Shangyuan Festival, didn't your father set up a banquet in the garden to enjoy the lanterns, you were infected with the wind and cold at that time and didn't go, so you may not know." At that time, a woman happened to come to the door to seek medical treatment, and also offered two poems, and your father was kind, so he rescued her talented husband. A few days ago, your father had nothing to do, and he went to visit him, and in the evening he brought back many thank-you gifts, although they were not worth much silver, but it could be seen that the couple had put a lot of effort into preparation. Today, this woman pondered two new snacks, and sent them to me to try them, which is rare to be affectionate and righteous. ”

"I also heard the maid talk about that day, and it is said that the poems are excellent, and my father and brothers love them."

Mrs. Tian smiled and nodded, "Your father and Mr. Zhao have a New Year's friendship, and they have been locked in the study for the past few days to fill in the words, and they say that when the spring flowers bloom, they will ask Mr. Zhao to go to enjoy the flowers together." ”

Tian Qian'er touched the cup and saw that the honey water was no longer hot, so she held it up to her mother with both hands and said with a smile, "My daughter heard that the eldest sister also loves that poem very much, but unfortunately, her daughter is stupid, but she can't taste the goodness of it." I think that the dim sum tastes good, and it is rare for the mother to love it, so it is better for the mother to send someone to invite the woman to come again, teach the daughter how to rectify, and the mother wants to eat it in the future, and the daughter can cook at any time to honor the mother. ”

Mrs. Tian was coaxed by her daughter, but she had not lost her sense of proportion, she reached out and nodded her daughter's forehead and said, "Your girl's mouth is like smeared with honey, so you know that she is happy to coax her mother." People come to the door to send dim sum is to understand the number of etiquette, know the gratitude, but we can't do too much, people are open restaurants, this dim sum is to be made to sell money, how can it be spread at will? ”

Tian Qian'er frowned and complained, "Didn't Daddy save the life of her husband, he couldn't even give up a prescription, and he talked about repaying his kindness." Mother, you just send someone to help your daughter talk about it, her daughter must learn. ”

Mrs. Tian didn't expect her daughter to insist so much, so she was suspicious, so she put down the teacup and asked, "Qian'er, didn't you hate cooking before, and you deliberately burned down most of the stove for this reason, why do you want to learn dim sum today, is it really to be filial to me?" ”

Tian Qian'er was shocked, her mother had severely reprimanded her, and she was not allowed to meet Brother Chu, if she knew that she wanted to learn to make dim sum in order to please Brother Chu, she would definitely be angry, and I am afraid that she would have to ban her feet again, and I am afraid that she would not even be able to go to the poetry meeting.

She immediately hugged her mother's arm and pouted, "My daughter didn't want to go into the oily stove because her mother likes to eat that snack, my daughter is a filial piety, and my mother still suspects her daughter like this..."

Tian Qian'er accepted it when she saw it, and she didn't dare to mention the matter of learning dim sum, so she said a few more words to her mother before leaving.

Mrs. Tian drank honey water and was about to lie down again, but suddenly remembered something, so she asked Leng Xiang, who was packing up the tea set to retreat, "Leng Xiang, the second lady asked for a snack today, is it to eat by herself, or to entertain guests?" ”

Leng Xiang hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and did not answer immediately, Mrs. Tian's heart sank, and she said coldly, "Report truthfully." ”

Where did Leng Xiang dare to hide it, and whispered the words of the little maid who took the snacks as they were, and Mrs. Tian was silent for a long time before she said, "In the past few days, the courtyard of the second miss, you will take care of it more, and report it to me if you have something." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Leng Xiang retreated lightly, leaving Mrs. Tian sighing, she only gave birth to two daughters, one was born weak, liked poetry, often held books and sad autumn, the other was delicate and lovely, but stubborn and assertive, and easily refused to listen to persuasion.

It's just that the creation makes people, the eldest daughter He'er has been given to Shangjia's family since she was a child, and it is not her favorite scholarly family, so that she will get married next year, but she doesn't care at all, as if she wants to marry someone else.

At the beginning, when he withdrew from Wudu, in order to leave a way back for the family, the lord gave his youngest daughter Qian'er to the son of a colleague, she was afraid that Qian'er would be noisy, so she kept blocking the master and didn't say it clearly, but now Qian'er is more and more attentive to the Chu family boy, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid it will annoy her even more, so let's find a good time to make things clear to Qian'er, after all, she is the daughter of the marriage, and she can't be as indulgent as before...

Tian Qian'er went all the way back to her yard, she couldn't help the anger and anxiety in her heart, she waved her hand and dropped the teapot on the table, and a few little maids stood aside, and she didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of touching the master's moldy head and being scolded and beaten.

A little maid standing at the outermost edge saw a little girl probing her brain at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, so she quietly moved out, trotted to the courtyard gate, and asked, "Xiao Dongzi, what's the matter with you, the second lady is losing her temper, don't you take us tired to eat and hang up." ”

Xiao Dongzi shook his head with a smile, "Sister Xin'er, don't worry, I'm here to spread the good news, and I guarantee that the second lady will be angry immediately after hearing it." ”

"Really? You can't scold me. The little girl didn't believe it, Xiao Dongzi nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "Go and report to the second young lady, just say that the second young master of the Chu family sent someone to send her something." ”

"Chu... The second young master of the Chu family! The little maid ran in happily, and when she entered the house, she didn't wait for the master to scold, so she said first, "Miss, miss, the second young master of the Chu family sent someone to bring you something." ”

"Who?" Tian Qian'er was grabbing the hand of the teacup that was about to fall, and immediately stopped, shouting one after another, "Quickly clean up, invite people in!" ”

A few little maids looked for brooms, picked up porcelain pieces, and rearranged tea, and soon restored the flower hall to its original appearance, and Xin'er ran out and shouted, "Xiao Dongzi, please invite the people from Chu Mansion to come in." ”

Xiao Dongzi immediately took Wangcai behind him into the flower hall together, Wangcai put two beautiful brocades on the table, then bowed and saluted, and said with a smile, "Little Wangcai has given the second lady a salute." ”
