Chapter 221: But it was said then
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
It's the season of July, so it's supposed to be cooler every day, but this year's summer seems to be a bit longer and hotter.
Bai Susu is not bored in Zhuangzi, because in addition to the mountain wind and flowers on Zhuangzi, there is also a cute villain Lu Huai'an, of course, if there is no stinky old man Hu Shengang, he will be happy.
No matter how much Bai Susu doesn't look down on Hu Shenguo, just because he cured Lu Huai'an, he deserves to be treated as a distinguished guest.
When the weather turned a little cooler, Bai Susu suddenly wanted to eat dumplings stuffed with mutton.
She just said it casually one day, but she was not embarrassed to go to the steward to ask for a sheep to eat. She does not mention it, but does not hinder the steward's own inquiry into her preferences.
The steward of the village is surnamed Zhang, and he is called Steward Zhang.
Since Bai Susu lived down, Steward Zhang has been paying close attention to it, and he was not too enthusiastic about stammering at first.
After all, people are sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and the Zhuangzi of large families is more useful, such as those concubines who are not favored and disliked by no one will give a reason to recuperate, and they will be left alone.
Steward Zhang also thought that Bai Susu was like this at first, but two months had passed in a blink of an eye, and he saw with his own eyes that since this Aunt Bai moved in, the originally quiet Zhuangzi suddenly became lively, and someone sent something every once in a while. Not only are things delivered by car, but even Lord Lu, who usually doesn't show up once a year, has been running Zhuangzi diligently in the past two months.
Steward Zhang is also a flexible brain, he has been in Zhuangzi for several years, and he usually doesn't have much oil and water, and he is thinking about whether he can change the relationship under the activity, and this opportunity has come.
When he was thinking about how to tie up with Lord Lu's favorite concubine, he heard that Bai Susu wanted to eat mutton, he was happy, he wanted nothing else, and if he wanted to eat mutton, it was all ready-made, and there were sheep on the Zhuangzi, which was specially for the masters of the Lu family to eat.
Steward Zhang immediately had a sheep slaughtered, cleaned up and sent to the yard where Bai Susu lived.
Bai Susu was sitting on the kang table eating the newly fried broad beans in the kitchen, and he was still surprised to send mutton at first glance, but he also understood the intention of this steward Zhang.
Steward Zhang sent the sheep, naturally he couldn't leave so directly, Bai Susu was half the master of the Lu family, since he lived in Zhuangzi, Steward Zhang naturally wanted to come in and meet.
Bai Susu was a steward Zhang who met in the hall, he was a man of less than forty, with a mustache, small eyes, and a gray coarse cloth dress that did not fit well, and the whole person looked a little cramped and respectful when he saw her.
"Little Zhang Youcai has seen Aunt Bai." As he spoke, Steward Zhang bent down and saluted Bai Susu, with a very humble attitude.
Although Steward Zhang is said to be the son of the Lu family, he is also a steward anyway, Bai Susu is a concubine at most half a master, so naturally she can't take a big step out of proportion, after seeing Steward Zhang's salute, she hurriedly said, "Steward Zhang, hurry up, I can't afford your gift." I live in Zhuangzi now, and I have to bother you. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's a small blessing for a small one to be able to serve Aunt Bai." Steward Zhang's attitude is more respectful and humble.
Bai Susu went on to say a few words of hard work and expressed his gratitude for sending mutton. The two of you have finished talking about the scene back and forth, and the teacup in Steward Zhang's hand is empty three times.
After Steward Zhang finished delivering the sheep, he took his leave.
Bai Susu originally thought that he could take the opportunity to say what he wanted, but this manager Zhang didn't seem to be ready to mention it at all. Seeing this, Bai Susu couldn't help but glance at this Steward Zhang.
Anyway, you can eat mutton dumplings with mutton, and the weather will just turn cold, which happens to be the best season to eat mutton.
On the same day, Bai Susu ate hot mutton dumplings, and the aroma of the mutton and the umami of the chives were mixed together, which was delicious and made people cry. I don't know how the chef in the Zhuangzi mixes the fillings, and the taste is even more delicious than what I ate in the Lu Mansion compound.
She ate and ate one, and accidentally held on.
The mutton was sent over, and the kitchen masters were not stingy, the amount of this dumpling package was sufficient, and Bai Susu had a lot left after eating it herself, so she made the decision and distributed it to the people around her, so that everyone could taste it.
"Mingxiang, do you have anything to say?" This time, Bai Susu went to Zhuangzi to serve Xiao Bottler and Chunlan did not follow, both of them are people that Bai Susu can trust, and there is a small golden grass in the house, so she can rest assured that she will leave both of them.
Originally, I thought that after I arrived in Zhuangzi, I would find a clever girl in a nearby farmhouse, but I didn't think about it, but I met Mingxiang.
Mingxiang used to be the maid who served Bai Susu, but in the three years that Bai Susu was away, she offended the third lady Qiao, and was thrown to this Zhuangzi to fend for herself.
The news on Zhuangzi lagged behind, so Mingxiang didn't know that Bai Susu had returned, and when she saw her at first glance, the whole person was stunned.
"Are you alright, girl?" Bai Susu looked at Mingxiang when she first saw her and asked.
"Auntie?" Mingxiang opened her mouth in a daze, and she also came back to her senses at the same time as she spoke, her eyes changed from the confusion at the beginning to the joy and tears in the back, the changes in her heart reflected in this series of processes, Bai Susu saw it in her eyes, and she was even more convinced that Mingxiang and she should be very familiar with before.
"Auntie, it's really you back. I knew you'd be fine. Mingxiang wiped her tears with red eyes, she would feel relieved. She was a maid who was sent to Zhuangzi three years ago, and in the final analysis, it was related to Bai Susu.
At that time, there was no news of Bai Susu's disappearance, and the rest of the Lu family acquiesced to the news of her death. But Mingxiang didn't believe it, she always believed in her heart that Aunt Bai was a fool and would never be fine.
Just because she thinks like this doesn't mean that others think the same way, Mingxiang also happened to hear a conversation between several mothers-in-law in Qiao's courtyard, saying that Aunt Bai had an accident and would never come back. At that time, the smell of tea was not good, so he went up to quarrel with the mother-in-law, and finally started to fight.
Mingxiang naturally couldn't beat the mothers-in-law in Qiao's house with her small arms and legs, she told Chunlan about it after she suffered a loss, and the two of them had a little conflict before, but after Bai Susu left, they miraculously stood in a team, and they were very united.
Chunlan has strength, plus she is usually a little chivalrous, as soon as she heard that Mingxiang was bullied, and she was bullied by the people who said bad things about Aunt Bai, she immediately became angry.
She was a little stunned, and as soon as she heard about it, she immediately rushed over with a stick, relying on her strength and holding a stick, and beat those mothers-in-law without any power to fight back.
Mingxiang was watching from the sidelines, she was not as good as Chunlan Ma Li in fighting, but she could stand on the side, whether she had to play a black hand or something, so that the other party would suffer some dark losses.
The rare cooperation between the two people was so tacit, and they repaired those mothers-in-law fiercely.
The people in Qiao's courtyard were beaten in a grand manner, and the mothers-in-law covered their faces one by one and went to Qiao's to complain. The relationship between Qiao's and Lu Zhiyuan was not good, and as soon as he heard that the people in his yard were beaten by the people in the courtyard of one of his stepson's concubines, his whole face was not good-looking.
According to Qiao's meaning, there must be an explanation for this matter, since Chunlan and Mingxiang did it, then it is better to sell both of them.
Seeing this, Mingxiang took the matter on her and said that everything was instructed by her, and Chunlan didn't know anything.
Qiao naturally didn't believe Mingxiang's words, and insisted on selling both of them away.
In the end, I don't know how to alarm Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu personally spoke at that time, since Mingxiang is the one who provoked the dispute, then send her to Zhuangzi.
Mingxiang thought that it was better than anything else to have a stable nest without being sold, so she didn't feel too unwilling, and left with a small baggage.
Three years have passed since this stay, and Mingxiang works in the fields every day, but it is rare to feel calm. She would occasionally ring out about the people and things of the Lu Mansion.
"Worries you." Bai Susu held her hand, and as soon as she approached her, she automatically set her eyes on Mingxiang's big belly. Because of the cold weather recently, Mingxiang also wears wide and thick clothes, and it is really difficult to find if you don't pay attention to her belly.
"How many months?"
"It's been five months." Mingxiang was still a little shy, her two faces were flushed, and she looked a little embarrassed.
When Mingxiang arrived at Zhuangzi alone, there were men everywhere, and Qiao's care made her suffer a lot during that time. It was only later that he met a tenant on the Zhuangzi, Zhao Dashan.
Zhao Dashan, as his name suggests, looks like a mountain, tall and big, plus his facial features are rough and his voice is loud, and people who are not familiar with him are easily frightened by his appearance.
At first, Mingxiang was also very afraid of Zhao Dashan, and every time she met him, she hid far away. Until one time, Mingxiang was bullied by the villains on Zhuangzi again, and happened to see Zhao Dashan who had just returned from the field. Mingxiang was also scared and anxious at that time, and asked Zhao Dashan for help.
Zhao Dashan is a diligent and simple person, usually relying on the Zhuangzi to share some fields to plant, he has not read any books, but he has a rare warm heart. At that time, seeing that Mingxiang was being bullied, Zhao Dashan even rolled up his sleeves and reasoned with those people.
There were many people on the other side, and Zhao Dashan was only one person, and he didn't agree with each other and started to move, and in the end, although those villains were beaten away, he himself was injured.
Mingxiang felt a little guilty in her heart, so she took advantage of Zhao Dashan's illness to boil bone broth at home every day to visit Zhao Dashan. The two of them became familiar with each other, and Zhuangzi was not so particular, and after the two of them became familiar, Mingxiang knew that Zhao Dashan had not gone to his daughter-in-law, mainly because the family was poor.
Others disliked Zhao Dashan for not having money, but Mingxiang took a fancy to his character. So I didn't care about anything else, and resolutely married Zhao Dashan.
Three years have passed.
