Cui Niang got up early and took the car back to the city to get clothes, and when she came back, she saw a few more carriages outside the gate, and when she entered the door, she turned directly to the big kitchen and asked, "Is there a guest at home?" Or did you come from afar? ”

Sister-in-law Zhang has been helping to take care of the children these few nights, and she wants to make up for sleep during the day, so she changed Yingzi and Cuilan to go to the dock shop together, so there are only Jin Zhi'er and Pomegranate in the big kitchen, as soon as the two of them heard Cuiniang's question, they immediately threw down the half-steamed steamed bun and ran over, holding her hand, wanting to ask something, but they hesitated to speak.

Cui Niang was a quick temper, and she couldn't stand them like this, so she said, "What's the matter, such a mysterious appearance, don't you say it, I can go to the backyard to see it myself." ”

Jin Zhi'er hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, there is a guest at home, and it is still the young general who came back with the old grandmother, but... But..."

She said halfway through and began to spit again, in the end, it was the pomegranate that was refreshing, and then said directly, "The young general seems to have an old relationship with the proprietress, and he is very close to the proprietress, we all feel that he seems to want to take the proprietress away, so what should we do with the shopkeeper, can our workshop still be opened?" ”

The more Cui Niang listened, her brows furrowed, and her mind turned several times before she said, "This nonsense, someone else said it, could it be that someone in our workshop said it?" A woman as powerful as our boss lady is also a young lady from the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, and it is not an exaggeration to have a few old friends, besides, the guests clearly said that they wanted the boss to go with him? ”

Jin Zhi'er and Pomegranate both shook their heads, and Cui Niang immediately said, "Isn't this it, our shopkeeper is not at home when he goes out to talk about business, these gossips can't be talked about, isn't it to make trouble for the proprietress, or others say, let's protect it." When the proprietress first came to the village, life was so difficult, and now this workshop and a few shops, but what she bought single-handedly, even if the sky falls, she will not give up and leave. You have nothing to do, and you can talk to all of you, but don't be offended. The proprietress is kind-hearted, and everyone can't count it in their hearts. ”

Jin Zhi'er and Pomegranate were frightened by Cui Niang's coaxing, and they were really relieved, and they answered in a row, and went to work again, those guards lived in the neighbor's house, and the food still had to come out of the big kitchen, and their work was not light.

Cui Niang went out, pulled Zhang Dahe, discussed a few words in a low voice, and entered the second door, Caiyun Caiyue was frying and cooking in the stove room, and she was very happy to see her come back.

The private school in the East Garden was out of school, Niuniu and Wu Yu came in to find food to cushion their stomachs, and without waiting for Cui Niang to speak, Niuniu grabbed two pies and ran into the main room to see her sister and children. On the contrary, Wu Yu sat on the edge of the board and ate slowly.

Cui Niang poured them warm tea, and said, "The old lady came back from Bailu City, and brought two guests back, I heard that it is the young general and Miss Biao of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, they are all members of their own family on weekdays, you just have fun, now there are guests here, but you can't be so unruly..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the pie in Wu Yu's hand fall to the ground, and her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, "Auntie, who did you say is coming?" ”

Cui Niang thought that the pie was too hot and hot to Wu Yu, so she hurriedly stepped forward to look at his fingers, and saw that it was only slightly red, so she picked up the pie and put it on the board, and took the previous one for him again, and then said, "The young general of the Zhenbei General's Mansion killed barbarians in Northern Xinjiang a few days ago, and now he has returned with a big victory." Maybe I had some friendship with the proprietress, so I came to visit our house. ”

Da Zhuang and Kuroko immediately jumped up happily, and surrounded them to ask non-stop, the little classmates in the previous school had to pretend to be generals and fight with barbarians every time they played, but now suddenly the real general came to the door, how could they not be excited?

As if he didn't hear them, Wu Yu slowly bit the pie in his hand, swallowing it with difficulty, his favorite food in the past seemed to have become the most bitter medicine in the world, so bitter that he wanted to shed tears...

In the main room, Rui Xue is also telling Niu Niu, this girl is really angry, but regardless of it, her strength is amazing, these days she has learned a set of thirty-six stick methods with Qin Xin, even Wu Yu is often swept around the courtyard by her, if Miss Roulan talks and does things to provoke her, I am afraid that a stick will smash people flat, although that Roulan does not necessarily have good intentions when she comes to the door, but at least when she does not show the fox tail, her own family still can't lose her manners first.

Niuniu nibbled on the pie, nodded indispensably, and responded in her mouth, "Okay, I listen to my sister, so if any guest doesn't bully my sister, I won't bully her." The subordinates tore the pie and wanted to feed Brother Xiao'er, but they were slapped down by Ruixue, which made her giggle and ran out with a smoke, "Sister, I'm going to change my clothes." ”

Rui Xue was helpless, "This crazy girl, how many days have she been taught the rules, and she is still like this." ”

Jian Wu saw that Brother Xiao'er's sea-blue quilt was stained with oil, so he opened the box and got a new one, put it on for him, and said, "Second Miss's temperament is rare, not pretentious, whether it is joy or annoyance, it is put on the face, so that people can guess and get tired and panic." ”

The old lady also said, "No, after this girl came, the young lady bothered a lot on weekdays, and she didn't shout that it was boring." ”

Rui Xue held her head and said with a smile, "I can't let this girl hear this, I'm afraid I'm going to be even more crazy, I'm worried, what kind of in-laws will I find for her in the future, the big family will definitely not dare to marry her, so I have to pay more attention to who has that honest and honest offspring around, and choose one for her." ”

The old lady nodded, but Jian Wu said, "The second lady has such a temperament, marrying into a high-ranking family, I'm afraid that she will be bored, and there is nothing wrong with a small family, there are ladies on the left and right, and the young lady can't be hungry." ”

"That's right." The three of them gossiped a few words, and Cui Niang came in and said with a smile, "Sister, the banquet is ready, but do you want to invite Amber to accompany you?" ”

Rui Xue smiled, "My sister-in-law just came back, and she was busy in the stove?" Come and rest, is the business of the shops in the city okay? As she spoke, she reached out to pour tea for Cui Niang.

Cui Niang hurriedly stopped, "I've drunk it in the stove, you, don't be polite." The weather is getting colder, there are more idlers drinking here, the business of the shop is better than before, and the old soup in our big clay jar is famous in the city. ”

"That's good, I thought of two new dishes a few days ago, one day my sister-in-law will learn, and then I will teach it to my sister-in-law when I go to the city."

After a few more gossips, Cui Niang asked who would accompany the guests at the banquet, Rui Xue thought about it, then looked at the old lady and said, "Mama, the shopkeeper is not at home, why don't you ask An Bo and Brother Yu to accompany the guests?" ”

The old woman smiled, "They are old and young, and they are not familiar with the young general, where do they have anything to say, why don't the old slaves go and have a good time." ”

"Then Mama is tired, there is Sister-in-law Zhang at night, and the room in Mama's backyard is still left, so let's have a good night's rest."

The old lady should take Cui Niang out, the banquet is placed in the hall of the east wing, the mahogany large round table, carved high-backed chairs, six dishes are placed on the table, two cold and four hot, chicken, fish, meat and eggs are complete, and there is a jar of osmanthus wine next to it, but it is also rich.

Amber came in with Wu Yu with a complicated face behind his back, the old lady made a brief introduction for the two sides, Wu Lie did not hold the big one, and did the gift of the juniors, although Roulan was unwilling, but it was not good to say much, and dealt with it hastily.

Amber glanced at her, returned the salute, and then sat down on the throne with a smile and invited them to sit down.

Roulan endured and endured, and said, "There is a difference between men and women, and seven years old are not at the same table." ”

The old lady glared at that time, and before she could get angry, Amber had already said slowly, "This young lady, do you dislike our peasant family for not knowing the rules and etiquette?" The farmer is poor, and we have done our best to buy a table of wine and food, and besides, we treat Miss Watch as a family, do Miss feel that we are poor and unworthy of a table with Miss Miss? ”

The old man Xu suddenly fell in love with acting, the expression on his face, as aggrieved as he wanted, the wrinkles on his forehead could trap mosquitoes, and he was about to stand up with a bitter face, and said, "Then Miss Biao eat slowly, let's retreat first." ”

Wu Lie immediately got up and stopped Amber, helped him sit down, bowed and apologized, "Uncle, it's my cousin who is ignorant and too rigid about etiquette, uncle, don't be angry, it's an honor for our brothers and sisters to treat us as a family." ”

After speaking, he glared at Roulan fiercely and scolded, "Don't apologize to the old man yet!" ”

Roulan was so angry that her nose was about to smoke, it stands to reason that it was not too much for her to ask for a seat alone, how could it be hers, her cousin still scolded her like this, asking her to have the face to sit down again.

Annoyed, she turned around and went into the room, and did not come out again, and Xi'er quickly followed in.

Wu Lie's face turned pale, and he apologized to Amber again, Amber seemed very generous this time, pulled him to sit down, and said with a smile, "The little girl's family is always delicate, and after a while, when she is angry, I will ask the cook to clean up some porridge and side dishes." ”

When he said this, the more Rulan looked rude and coquettish, and the more guilty Wu Lie became, he poured wine for Amber with his own hands, and drank three glasses in a row to make amends.

Amber smiled and introduced the dishes for him, and when he started talking, the old mother also echoed a few words from time to time, and the two old and one young also talked lively.

Wu Yu kept his head down, eating quietly, like a peasant half-grown man who was not good at words, from time to time he swept Wu Lie's eyes, and his face became more and more complicated, Wu Lie was busy asking about the situation of the Zhao family from An Bo's mouth, but he didn't pay much attention to him.

Caiyun Caiyue and Xiao Cui'er stood at the door and waited, and when they heard it, Caiyue excused herself and retreated, and trotted to the main room to make a statement.

Rui Xue was taking Niuniu to sit at the table to eat, and when she heard this, she said, "How is this good, the family has been less recently, and the family is afraid that they can't supply it if they only eat steamed buns, where is there good food to serve that Miss Jingui?" Besides, it's easy to have an accident if there is always a fire in the kitchen, so after dinner, it's better to put it out. ”

Caiyue didn't react for a while, and opened her mouth to ask, is the family really so poor? Isn't there still more than 100 bags of white rice in the backyard that haven't been eaten, and besides, the stove fire in the kitchen in the past always has to be left until the second half of the night, why is it suddenly afraid of a fire?
