Xiaocao chose the two with the most aura from all the watermelons, and reluctantly moved them off the shelves, just about to bring the watermelons over in person, so as to brush up on the good feeling in front of the godmother. Mrs. Fang couldn't bear to see the delicate little man tired, so she instructed her girl: "Linglong, Pearl, why don't you go over to help?" ”

Yu Xiaocao rubbed in front of Mrs. Fang a little shyly, and looked up at her with a shy smile. Usually chirps and chirps a small mouth that can speak, but at this time I don't know how to speak.

Mrs. Fang lowered her head, looked at the shyly smiling little girl with soft eyes, and used the handkerchief in her hand to gently wipe off the gray marks on the pink little face, and stroked the little girl's black and shiny hair. The little girl's slightly apprehensive black eyes suddenly lit up and were as dazzling as stars, making the slightly ordinary little face vivid.

"Little girl, how much silver are these two watermelons?" Looking at the innocent and sweet smiling face of the little girl in front of her, Mrs. Fang's depressed mood because she had seen through her niece's mind became cheerful. Her expression and tone were obviously teasing Xiaocao!

Yu Xiaocao rubbed beside her again, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her little hands, her face was red, and she said in a small voice: "My family eats watermelon, what else do you say about the money?" These two watermelons are Xiaocao's filial piety to your godmother. ”

"Oh? Godmother doesn't recognize people casually, aren't you afraid of misidentifying people? Mrs. Fang was like teasing her own Persian cat, and her tone was full of laughter.

Yu Xiaocao deliberately asked in a tone of uncertainty and hesitantly, "May I ask you...... Is your husband's family surnamed Fang? ”

Mrs. Fang smiled at the corners of her eyebrows and mouth, and said slowly: "There are many people with the surname Fang in the world, is it true that Mrs. Fang is your godmother?" ”

"My godfather said, the godmother is beautiful and generous, gentle and refreshing, and there is no lack of courage in kindness. The godfather also said that the two of us will definitely fall in love when we get along. As soon as I saw you, I felt very cordial, and my intuition told me that you are my godmother! Yu Xiaocao patted his ass without a trace. Her answer, apparently, pleased Mrs. Fang.

Xia Furong, who had been following the second son of King Jing, was pulled back to her senses by Xiaocao's sentence "You are my godmother". She stared at her round apricot eyes, and her eyes stared at Yu Xiaocao with a slightly fierce look. I saw that she was dressed simply, looked ordinary, and shy with a kind of small family atmosphere. I was robbed of the honor that should have belonged to her by such a hillbilly, I am really unwilling!

She pursed her lips and said without yin or yang: "Can the godmother recognize it casually?" Little girl, at a young age, you know how to climb rich, and you are too urban! ”

My aunt hates scheming people the most, if she can successfully mislead her aunt, what if my godfather recognizes her as my goddaughter? The mistress of the General's Mansion, but her aunt!

Yu Xiaocao sensitively sensed the hostility on the beautiful girl, and wondered slightly: I didn't know her, why did I deliberately smear her?

Mrs. Fang has never seen the bitter side of her niece, and her niece always shows her innocent and empathetic image on weekdays. She remembered her niece's petty flattery on weekdays, and said that she regarded the General's Mansion as her second home......

Mrs. Fang has been immersed in the inner house for a long time, and she has personally experienced the intrigue between the wives and concubines of the Xia family. It turns out that the so-called innocence and innocence are all made for her to see!

Mrs. Fang's eyes became stern when she looked at Xia Furong, and she said lightly: "Furong, this is your uncle's goddaughter Yu Xiaocao, who is less than ten years old and can support a family on her own." Doesn't the emperor advocate women's self-reliance and self-improvement? I think Xiaocao can be regarded as a model of this! ”

Yu Xiaocao saw that her godmother supported her and gave her such a high evaluation, so she said modestly: "Godmother has a good reputation!" Without the help of my parents and siblings, I wouldn't be able to do anything! And my godfather also helped me a lot. For example, this shop, the terrain is so good, it's not looking at the godfather's face, where can it be our turn......"

"What?!" Xia Furong raised her voice, her expression distorted with jealousy, "This shop was bought by your uncle?" Auntie, in such a prosperous shop, it costs a thousand taels to say the least! She's a hillbilly who eats in the dirt, where can she come up with so much silver? When my uncle came to work, he only brought a few hundred taels of silver, was it because she accepted bribes from others? ”

Xia Furong has been by her aunt's side for two years, and naturally knows very well that her aunt hates the unhealthy practices of officialdom the most, and she always tells her uncle not to lose the emperor's trust because of petty profits. If it is really what she said, this little dog tail grass will never be loved by her aunt. So isn't her dream of the eldest lady of the General's Mansion one step closer?

After all, Yu Xiaocao is not just a nine-year-old girl, her sharp eyes saw the calculation in the eyes of the girl in pink, and she couldn't help frowning: I am sure that I have not offended her, how can I make a stumbling block for myself? What is her intention?

"This sister! It's not right for you to talk like that!! What is a hillbilly who eats in the dirt? You are clearly discriminating against the peasants! Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, 'agriculture' is second only to 'Shi'. Without a peasant toiling with his face to the loess and his back to the sky, my sister would be a fairy—"

Yu Xiaocao can't bear her, how old is she? If the godmother distances herself because of her smear, so what? I don't point to the Fang family to eat and drink, why do I have to wronged myself? Anyway, the cheap godfather should be picked up, and it is good to spoil yourself, but you don't force it otherwise. As the saying goes, "if you have no desire, you are strong", it is natural to refute it.

When Mrs. Fang saw the little man in front of her, she straightened her waist and widened her eyes, like a scrappy little rooster, which looked quite rare!

"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Fang felt that the word "fairy" was not a compliment.

"Legend has it that fairies drink wind and dew, and don't eat fireworks in the world! Without peasants farming, there will be no food, and without food, what will the people of the world eat? Drink the Northwest Wind? Yu Xiaocao squinted at Xia Furong's expression, how cute and cute it was.

But Xia Furong didn't think so. Because of a lowly peasant girl, she lost face in front of her aunt, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Do you dare to say that this shop was not bought by your uncle?" A few thousand taels is not a small number, you have such a scheming at a young age, how did you get it when you grew up? ”

Zhu Junxi, who had chosen the watermelon, was stunned by Xia Furong's sharp voice and hideous expression. It turns out that behind the so-called ladies' show, there will also be a shrew side. Most of the ladies said that they were lying down......

"Enough!!" Mrs. Fang naturally saw the expression of the second son of King Jing flashing, and was full of impatience with her niece's original form, "Furong, about the shop, your uncle has already written to tell me!" The money to buy the shop was earned back by Xiaocao alone. The shop is ordered by Wu County, and your uncle just built a bridge from it and helped through the formalities......"

"Auntie!" Xia Furong also saw Zhu Junxi, hurriedly restrained her temper, and said with a little eagerness, "Don't be deceived by this hillbilly!" An ordinary peasant girl, no matter how capable she is, cannot have the ability to earn money to buy a shop. That's not a small number, more than a thousand taels of silver! According to me, let alone earning, she can't even see so much silver! ”

thought that if she was passed on to her aunt's house, all the glory and wealth of the General's Mansion belonged to her alone, including more than 1,000 taels of the shop...... In the Xia family, she is just a daughter who is not favored, and the monthly money for a month is not as good as that of a big girl, how many expensive clothes and jewelry can be bought for more than a thousand taels? Thinking so, his tone unconsciously became scathing again.

Mrs. Fang saw that her niece was unrelenting, and she had to make a clear decision, so she lowered her face and said, "How is it impossible?" Xiaocao is quite talented in cooking, and the roast chicken, osmanthus duck, braised vegetables and oyster sauce dishes in Zhenyulou are all recipes she has developed. The division of osmanthus duck alone is thousands of taels in two months! There is also the latest 'Haitian' brand series of condiments in Beijing, and Xiaocao also has shares! One or two shops in the district are naturally not a problem for her. ”

"Oh? Osmanthus duck was developed by a girl? My mother...... My mother likes to eat, but unfortunately every time I go to buy it, I have to queue up, and I may not be able to buy it! Zhu Junxi looked at the thin little bean in front of him with interest, but he didn't expect that several dishes that were popular in the capital were all from her! What a human being is unseemly!

Seeing that the second son of King Jing, who had never looked at him squarely, actually smiled at that cheap girl, the strings called "reason" in Xia Furong's mind broke: "Nonsense!" Auntie, you can't believe whatever she says! She is a poor little peasant girl, how many times a year can she eat chicken? Can you afford ducks? If the recipe can be so easy to come up with, wouldn't the celebrity chef be all over the place? ”

"This sister? I don't know you, so why do you keep targeting me? You said that I didn't make those roast chickens and osmanthus ducks, so who do you think should have made them? Without investigation, there is no right to speak, do you think it is really good for you to slander me so openly? "Since she is the niece of her godmother, Yu Xiaocao is not good at saying ugly things, so she still has to refute it. When she's muddy, it's easy to bully, isn't it?

Without waiting for Xia Furong to speak again, Yu Xiaocao turned to the handsome boy and reminded: "Although osmanthus duck is not only delicious, but also anti-inflammatory, swelling and anti-aging, and has the purpose of softening blood vessels. But after all, ducks are cold, and women should not eat them often. It is best to eat once every three to five days. ”

Zhu Junxi is not as good as the little girl on his chest, and when he talks about the osmanthus duck, he believes what Mrs. Fang said. He smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder, I will tell my mother what you said." Check out, so that your mother doesn't get impatient to wait! ”

"It's ten taels of silver." Yu Xiaocao quickly accepted the silver, and said enthusiastically, "Thank you for your patronage, welcome to come next time——"

Xia Furong expressed disappointment and shame at her sweetheart's complete ignorance of her behavior, and rushed out: "Sure enough, he was born in a peasant family, and he is a little family!" The second son is also the nephew of his aunt, and you are embarrassed to accept money? ”
