The mother-in-law in the courtyard moved all the meat, vegetables, rice and noodles into the kitchen, and when she saw these good meat and vegetables one by one, she was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that she could have a good meal in the next few days.

Shen Yuechen doesn't like to waste, Wu's mother is also the same temperament as her, she can cook as much as she eats at each meal, and there is very little left, even if there is a leftover occasionally, it is also cheaper for the maids, and they do rough work, naturally they have no share.

Now, the old lady has rewarded so much food, but it is such a skillful hand as Wu's mother, and it must be another delicious meal.

Mother Wu personally washed the pork and beef with water, put them in a jar with ice, and put them in a cool place to calm down. Mrs. Li followed and cleaned up the fish while it was fresh, leaving only the chickens and ducks alive and moving when they were eating.

Cuixin is not as greedy as those mothers-in-law, just playful, looking at the chubby little hen on the ground, she stretched out her hand to hug it, but was stopped by Wu's mother: "What are you playing with it, you turned around and got your hands dirty, how can you go to the house to serve?" ”

Mrs. Li usually sees that Mother Wu raises Cuixin as a daughter, and this will also be quite flattering to her, so she grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into her hands, and said with a smile: "Girl, go around the yard, don't get your hands dirty." ”

Cuixin went outside to play with peanuts, and several maids who were responsible for watering the flowers ran after her and asked her what good dishes to eat at night, among them, Yingchun and Chunfang, who had just entered the hospital.

Cui Xin gave them the peanuts in her hand to eat, shook her head and said, "I don't know, Zuo is just some meat and fish." ”

Chunfang listened, swallowed her saliva and said, "I don't ask for meat, but I just ask for a bowl of lard bibimbap." ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed at her, "Look at her, she ate a bowl of lard bibimbap on the night she entered the mansion, as if she was enchanted, and she remembered it day and night." ”

Chunfang's face turned red from their laughter, and she hid behind the flowers and didn't come out for a long time.

One of the little maids in green clothes pulled her out and said with a smile: "You have only been in for a few days, you have never entered the back room, and you have not been rewarded, so naturally you don't know what is delicious." After speaking, she pulled Cui Xin again, and asked with a smile: "Cui Xin, you have been following the grandmother for a long time, you must have seen a lot of delicious food." Come, tell me two things, so that we can also learn a long time. ”

Cui Xin was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and thought about it: "I love to eat those cakes that Miss rewarded me the most, what hibiscus cake, osmanthus cake, mung bean cake...... The taste, so fragrant and sweet, is simply amazing. ”

The little maid in yellow next to her sighed and said, "What is so rare about cakes." In the past, when the old grandmother was still there, every three or five days, there were cakes to be rewarded, what walnuts were crispy and peaches, sweet and greasy. ”

"Yes, then we will always have something delicious to take, and the old grandmother is the most delicate in eating. Eat chicken, only take a few taels of meat on the breast to eat, eat fish, is to pinch the head and remove the tail, as long as the fattest place on the belly of the fish in the middle, eat bird's nest, not dragon teeth will not take a bite. ”

"Alas...... The new grandmother is simple, a meal is no more than four meat and two vegetables, and every time there is leftover, one person can take a bite and it will be gone. ”

They are all about you, Cui Xin listened to it, and immediately became anxious: "What a new grandmother and an old grandmother." The Zhu family now has only one young grandmother, who is my young lady. Besides, although our young lady is simple, how can she ever treat you badly? After you have done your errands, have you ever been rewarded with a handful of money? With those rewards, you can't buy anything you want to eat, and you can buy a pig directly after saving a few more times. ”

When everyone saw that she was angry, they had a bad heart, so they hurriedly leaned over and coaxed her, don't be angry, don't take it seriously, don't go and sue the grandmother.

Cui Xin listened, snorted and said, "Forget it this time, but there will be no next time." ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded again and again, pointing to the sky and the earth as a guarantee.

Chunfang saw it on the side, didn't dare to squeak, and waited until everyone was unhappy before she quietly walked out of the courtyard alone, and turned to the West Corner Gate to talk back to Zhu An.

Zhu An had just finished taking a nap, yawned again and again, and when he saw her coming, he immediately lifted his spirits and said, "Oh, my good niece is here." ”

Chun Fangfu is a blessed body: "Say hello to the little uncle." ”

The two are not relatives, it's just that her parents asked Zhu An to do things before, and they stammered indiscriminately, so they begged her to recognize Zhu An as her uncle.

Zhu An saw that she was an honest girl and she was born clean, so she had a plan in her heart, and then brought her into Zhu's house, first, to help herself with errands and inquire about news, and second, when she was idle, there were many people around to serve and relieve her boredom.

Zhu An asked her to sit down and talk, but Chunfang didn't dare, so she only stood and said, "I've been working in the yard for the past two days, and I can't enter the inner room, so my uncle told me what I did...... I didn't have a chance to ......."

Mama Li is strict with people, and only asks them to clean the yard and play with flowers and plants every day, and they can't even touch the door of the main house, let alone go in to find any red and green books. Moreover, she also heard that the things in the inner room are never allowed to be moved by the little maids casually, and they are all cleaned by themselves in the spring tea, for fear that anyone will accidentally touch something expensive.

When Zhu An heard this, he was not angry or annoyed, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, you have only been in for a few days, so naturally you can't enter the inner room, and you will talk about it after two days." After speaking, he took her little hand and touched it lightly.

The skin on the hands is indeed a little rough to the touch, but the bones should be quite soft. It's just that I don't know how the skin and flesh on my body are, whether it is fine or not, whether it is tender or not......

Zhu An smiled maliciously, so frightened that Chunfang withdrew his hand, and hurriedly took two steps back and said, "Uncle, the flowers in the yard haven't been watered yet, I have to return ......"

Seeing her anxious look, Zhu An grinned: "Okay, you go back today, and come back tomorrow after noon, uncle has something good for you." ”

Chunfang nodded quickly and hurriedly ran out, not daring to stay in the room longer. She ran back to the yard panting all the way, running covered in sweat, looking at her hand that had just been grabbed by Zhu An, her face was flushed with shame, and she hurriedly squatted on the ground and scooped up a scoop of water to rinse it.

The things that the old lady appreciates cannot be eaten, let alone wasted. It's just that it's still hot, things can't be stored, and if it's too long, it will break. Shen Yuechen asked Mother Wu to keep one-third of those meat dishes, and divide the rest into several portions for the aunts, so as not to waste things in vain.

Shen Yuechen was originally a good intention, but in the eyes of a few people, it was hypocrisy and a gesture.

Recently, Qin Taoxi and Sun Wenpei often stay together, and after Sun Wenpei was provoked by her, she secretly had some resentment towards Shen Yuechen in her heart.

While trimming her nails, Qin Taoxi looked at the food on the table with cold eyes, and said, "The old lady just gave her something to eat, and she can't wait to show off, just like we are waiting for her to come to help." Catch up with Ming'er, if the old lady gives her a peach blossom, she will not let each of us put peach blossoms on our heads and walk around the yard! ”

Sun Wenpei frowned slightly, she didn't like the tone of Qin's speech, but she didn't dare to refute it.

After Qin Taoxi trimmed her nails, she looked left and right, the maid orchid had already pounded the daffodil juice and was about to apply it to her, but she was stopped by Qin Taoxi with her eyes, she stretched out her fingers and pointed to Sun Wenpei, who was silent next to her.

Orchid comprehended, and then said loudly: "Aunt Sun, the daffodil juice has been adjusted, you can also come over to mend your nails." ”

When Sun Wenpei heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then got up and said, "Why bother the orchid girl?" After speaking, she sat down in front of Qin's family, took the flower juice from the orchid's hand, and carefully applied Qin Taoxi to her fingernails.

Qin Taoxi hooked the corners of her mouth, looked at her with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, and said softly: "In the past two days, my sister has always been depressed, is there something on her mind?" ”

Sun Wenpei shook his head: "No, I'm just a little bitter summer, and I'm lazy." ”

Qin Taoxi sneered: "How many days have passed since the beginning of autumn, what kind of summer is my sister still suffering?" I think my sister is bitter, right? ”

Sun Wenpei took a beating, but did not speak.

Qin Taoxi continued: "Because of the uncle, my sister feels uncomfortable. Alas...... What did I say at the beginning, our grandmother is sweet-mouthed and poisonous, and her little abacus in her heart is fine. ”

Sun Wenpei still didn't speak, and said after a moment's silence: "I have something to make her calculate." Now, she is favored in front of the old lady, and the uncle loves her again, what does she want, why do she still care about others. ”

Qin Taoxi disagreed, "If the blessing is too heavy, it can crush people." There are too many good things, and they can't be restrained when they eat it, and it's still uncomfortable. ”

As soon as her words fell, Liuli jumped in from outside the door, so frightened that Sun Wenpei's hand shook and smeared the flower juice outside.

Qin Taoxi frowned suddenly, and his expression was cold.

Seeing this, Sun Wenpei hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her carefully, and said in a panic: "Liuli usually looks well-behaved, but it is quite scary to suddenly move." ”

Qin Taoxi instructed the orchid to bring Liuli over, Liuli was losing her temper, her body struggled, and she immediately showed her sharp claws and was about to scratch at the orchid, but fortunately, the orchid dodged quickly and was not pounced by it.

Sun Wenpei was taken aback, but when he saw that the orchid was not afraid of anything, he grabbed it from the ground and sent it to Qin Taoxi's arms. "This little brute is getting more and more out of control, miss, you have to be careful."

Sun Wenpei was a little scared and instinctively hid back.

Qin Taoxi was not afraid, she hugged the glass and rubbed it, touched and touched, and the glass instantly turned back to its original docility, nesting motionless on her lap.

"This thing is the best at bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, usually pretending to be obedient in front of me, and disobedient when he sees others. Don't be afraid, sister, it doesn't bite. ”

Although it doesn't bite, if it is really pounced on by that claw once, it is enough to bear. Sun Wenpei was still a little afraid, and after helping her paint her nails, she got up to say goodbye, not wanting to stay for a moment.

Qin Taoxi saw her panicked appearance, and couldn't stop laughing, as if she thought it was very interesting.

Orchid was beside her, and whispered: "The slave doesn't understand, Aunt Sun is worried and afraid, and she can't help her at all, why does the young lady still have to woo her?" ”

Qin Taoxi gently touched the glass on his legs, and said lightly: "It's easy to call useless talents." Moreover, she will soon be able to come in handy. ”
