The little girl's name is Chunhua, eleven years old, it was half a year ago when the inner courtyard of the Zhao family was in short supply, and Xia He, Qiu Ju, and Dong Mei were bought into the house together, and she was lively by nature, and her eyebrows and eyes were very pleasing when she smiled, and she was the most loved by Niu Niu, so she had to take her wherever she went, and she was more familiar with the masters and everyone, and she was not afraid to tell a joke.

"Brother Liuzi was hit by me, and his face turned red."

Yun Xiaoliu coughed twice, "I'm going to start a family, so I'm naturally happy, who is not happy to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

As soon as he said this, a dangerously plump young lady in the carriage laughed, thinking that the old woman with a silver head was all laughing, and the three children sitting and playing in front of them raised their heads and blinked their eyes wide, and then lowered their heads to play with the colorful wooden blocks in their hands.

These three children are Kexin, who is nearly three years old, and one and a half years old Xiao Ge'er and Yiran, the young lady and the old woman don't have to guess, they are Rui Xue and the old mama.

The weather is fine these days, and it is spring, Ruixue took people to finish the spring sowing, and planted the rice seedlings into the fifty acres of paddy fields.

Heizi and Da Zhuang passed the township test last year, and became two people who praised the little children, and now both of them have moved to the city, living together in the backyard of "wine bite", carrying a cloth pocket every day, bringing the four treasures of the study and books to the county school two streets away to study, less and less naughty, and gradually have the appearance of a little scholar.

Today happened to be the rest day of the county school, the two took some change, ready to go to the calligraphy and painting shop to go around, add some paper and pen, and also shop for good books, as soon as they went out of the back door, did not walk a few steps, they saw the alley, turned into two carriages, the front of the car hung with a black-background vermilion lacquer nameplate, big Zhao characters, very conspicuous, so immediately grinned happily, one went back to report the news, and the other greeted it.

Yun Xiaoliu greeted, "Zhang Gongzi avoids the side, be careful not to be touched." ”

With fame, even if it is a child, he began to be called a son, Da Zhuang slightly let go to the side of the road, and as soon as the carriage stopped, he was about to step forward and open the door, but after thinking about it, he stopped again.

Niuniu wore a big red dress, with two red ropes wrapped around her hands, and walked over with Xia He and Qiu Ju Xiaoyingying, and when she saw Da Zhuang's childhood, she immediately threw the rules and etiquette behind her head, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Da Zhuang, where are you going to play, take me one." ”

Da Zhuang's face was slightly red, and he dodged away a little, and when he didn't know how to reply, he saw Rui Xue stepping on the footstool and getting out of the car, as if he had seen a savior, and stepped forward to salute, "Master, how are you doing?" You haven't been here in a while. ”

Rui Xue touched his head as she did when she was a child, and said with a smile, "Our big strong man is really getting more and more elegant and scholarly temperament, are you going out?" ”

Da Zhuang nodded, smiling with a twilight look, for the teacher, he and Heizi are treated as their own mothers, when they were children, they did not eat less of the good food of the teacher, and they did not get the love of the teacher, and now even if they grow up and go to the city to study, they still feel very close.

"I'm going to go to the calligraphy and painting shop with Heizi, have you finished reading a few travelogues in Shiniang's house, do you want me and Heizi to come back with a few more books?"

"I've finished reading those books, if there is something new, it's good to exchange a few copies, but it's still the old rule, I'll give you the money, you run errands, and read them together."

"Yes, Master."

The two of them stood under the car and said happily, and for a while they stopped the old mother from getting out of the car with the child, but when they saw that the outside was different from the home, they stood up anxiously holding on to the door frame, opened their little hands, and shouted, "Mother, hug, but I want to hug!" ”

Brother Xiao and Yiran followed their sister in the same way, they both clapped their hands, and the words jumped out of their small mouths, "Hug!" Embrace! ”

The three children were all milky, listening to people's hearts soften, Rui Xue hurriedly turned around, apologized to her eldest daughter, and hugged her, "Okay, good, don't make trouble, mother hugs, mother only cares about talking to her brother, forget about our heart." ”

But he sat in the arms of his mother Xiangxiang as he wished, so he hugged his mother's neck, and kissed his mother on the face, and smiled so that Ruixue was even more happy.

When Yiran and Brother Xiao met, they even more vigorously pouted their little buttocks and crawled out, not wanting their sister to monopolize their mother's love.

The old mother grabbed Brother Xiao'er's legs, but she couldn't catch Yiran, she climbed to the car door a few times, the big strong eyes were fast, and she stepped forward to scoop her up, Yiran was not afraid at all, but thought that her brother was playing with her, giggled, and shouted, "Fly, fly!" ”

Heizi happened to run out of the door, and when he saw this, he stepped forward to pick up Brother Xiao in the car, and ran into the yard with Da Zhuang holding the two children one by one, Qiu Ju helped out the old mama, and everyone entered the yard together.

Cui Niang was walking out while untying her apron, and when she saw them coming in, she smiled and said, "Sister, don't blame me for coming out late, the business ahead is too good." ”

Rui Xue shook her head and quipped, "Our sister-in-law's craftsmanship is now famous in this city, how dare I blame it, if my sister-in-law loses her temper, I won't let go of the God of Wealth." ”

Originally, these wine and food in the shop, after the sale was booming, the shops that followed the trend in the city opened a lot, and they were all in the name of stewed old soup in a big pottery urn, and the business of the shop was very affected, and then there was a family that was not taken care of, the old soup was moldy in the summer, and many diners ate bad stomachs, which caused the boss to be lively, and then there were two more and more accidents, only the originator of the "wine bite" is very quiet, and the taste of food is getting better and better. Nowadays, when it comes to snacks, the first thing that comes to mind is "wine bite".

Rui Xue is not a stingy person, after the input is bullish, he divided the profit of the shop into three percent, one percent to the Wang family's mother and son, and two percent to the Gao family, the two families are grateful, and they are more and more attentive to the business.

Cui Niang heard Rui Xue's praise, and she was even happier than others praising a hundred sentences, and laughed, "The tea house business is better, Fu Yin's family has a banquet, and Caiyun is invited to eat." ”

Rui Xue can hear Shanzi from the village say that since the teahouse was opened, Caiyun Caiyue has been assigned to the back stove to take charge of the kitchen, in charge of five or six cooks, and now they are also quite shrewd and capable of two small stewards.

Last year, the two saved their wages, ransomed their bodies for Xiucai's father, and bought a small yard for their father and younger brother to live in.

The two of them are getting older, and they are getting more and more handsome, which makes Rui Xue start to worry about their family affairs, and she has served her children for several years, and she always has to find a good family.

Of course, the most headache for her was that Jian Wu and Qin Xin, who didn't plan to get married at all, actually shouted that they would grow old in the Zhao family for the rest of their lives, so she had to let it go first, thinking that she would slowly persuade her to change in the future.

Rui Xue disliked the stuffiness in the room and didn't want to go in, so she sat on the wooden chair under the tree and gossiped with Cui Niang, Cui Niang took Ke Xin in her arms, and teased her to call her Auntie, seeing this little girl, she looked cute and beautiful, and couldn't help but sigh, "How good it would be if the Qian family's sister was still alive." ”

Rui Xue nodded, thinking of the beautiful and gentle woman, and also missed it a little, "That's also a person with a story, and I must be very sorry to leave like that in the end." ”

Kexin couldn't understand what they were saying, but she could see that her mother's face was not good, and she stretched out her little hand to ask her mother to kiss her, Rui Xue took her over, patted her back comfortingly, and she immediately stroked her mother in front of her and finished the embroidery on her collar.

Cui Niang couldn't help but say, "Sister, you are so kind-hearted, there will definitely be a good reward." ”

Is it a good report? A trace of bitterness flashed in Rui Xue's eyes, and she shook her head slightly, "Now that you have food and drink like this, and your children are around your knees, it is already a good reward." ”

Cui Niang thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Sister, it has been three months since the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Wu family has also been raided for a month and a half, isn't there any news from Mr. ”

"Message?" Rui Xue raised her eyebrows and sneered, "I have already given him a letter of resignation, that is, I have nothing to do with the Zhao family, whether their family is good or bad, prosperous or declining, has nothing to do with our mother and son." ”

Cui Niang secretly regretted that she was a little speechless, and when she raised her eyes and saw her son running around the yard with Yiran in her arms, she hurriedly shouted, "Heizi, you put Sister Ran down quickly, be careful of it." ”

When Heizi heard this, he stuck out his tongue, put Yiran on his shoulder, and walked slowly, but Yiran was disgusted that it was not as fun as he had just now, and his little hand grabbed the square scarf on his head, and he lost his temper.

Rui Xue looked funny, and hurriedly called the big Zhuang Niu Niu on the side, and said, "Big Zhuang Heizi, you take Niu Niu to the calligraphy and painting shop, come back early at noon, and the master will cook you two good dishes to eat." ”

"Yes, Master." Da Zhuang and Heizi responded, and handed over the little junior brother and little sister who were sweating on their heads to the old grandmother and Chunhua, and then tidied up their clothes and hair, and took the proud Niuniu out.

The bolt finally finished greeting the guests, stole a free time, ran in with two account books, saluted the master, and before he could say a few words, he was called away again.

Cui Niang also went to be busy, Rui Xue sat under the tree, hugged Ke Xin, taught her to speak without a match, and looked through the account book, and the old mother and Chunhua carried the two little ones into the house to play, for fear that they would suffer from the cold.

Before enjoying such a leisurely quarter of an hour, I saw the big strong girl and the sunspot running back madly, and shouted breathlessly, "Master, someone is here, and there is a big carriage, saying that there is a will..."

Rui Xue was confused when she heard it, but fortunately, the bolt who came in later was still relatively calm, "Master, there is an official errand in front, saying that he is from Wudu, and he has brought a carriage and horses to take the master into Beijing to face the saint." ”

Enter the Beijing Face Saint? Rui Xue's heart moved, thinking of the vegetarian oil that was now sold to the entire Wu Kingdom, and couldn't help but wonder if this holy decree was related to his brother who had been missing for a long time...

When the old lady and the others heard the movement, they all rushed out and walked through the shop together to the front door.

I saw a hundred and ten soldiers with armor riding high-headed horses, lined up in twos and twos, protecting one large, two small and three carriages in the middle of the street, a middle-aged man, wearing a gray brocade robe, a black high hat, a white face without a beard, holding floating dust, was sitting on a horse with a proud face, seeing Rui Xue and others coming out, he jumped off the horse, his expression eased a little, and asked in a loud voice, "This lady, but the Chen family of the Hou Mansion of Annan?" ”
