In a blink of an eye, time flies quite quickly, in a blink of an eye, it is the eighth or ninth day of the first month, and the county town has gradually returned to its former liveliness, the shops on the street are open, and Liu Man'er's several shops are naturally no exception.

However, Liu Man'er's shop has a special person to take care of it, although it is now open, but she does not have many things, she took advantage of the leisure time to write all the words early, and the rest of the things as long as they are ordered step by step.

Because there was nothing to do, Liu Man'er planned to go to the county seat to see, after all, Liu Yunsheng was still there, and before the Lantern Festival, he should also pay a New Year's greeting to him, and by the way, tell him about these things that happened during the New Year, so as to save him from hearsay and worry.

It is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and it is better to travel tomorrow, so Liu Man'er said to Fang's family, packed up her things at night, and planned to go to the county seat the next day.

This time she went to the county seat, she didn't plan to hit too many people, just bring the grass on it, because of the reason why the grass was sick last time, Liu Man'er felt that she didn't take enough care of her, so now she always takes her with her.

Ye He really wanted to go to the county seat to see, but Liu Man'er didn't agree, she just said that she didn't plan to go to the countryside this time, so she wouldn't take her with her.

Ye He was a little disappointed when she heard Liu Man'er say this, but she was not such a rude and willful girl, seeing that Liu Man'er was unwilling, she didn't say much, but just asked Liu Man'er to bring her some candied fruit from the county seat, saying that the candied fruit of the Bazhen Pavilion in the county town was particularly delicious, and the shops in the county town were not as tasty.

Liu Man'er happily agreed.

In fact, you think something is particularly delicious, just because you haven't eaten anything good before, so you will never forget that taste, in fact, in Liu Man'er's opinion, the taste of this candied fruit shop in the county is like this, eating is a feeling, but as long as Ye He likes to eat, just bring her some home, anyway, it's just a gesture.

The next day, the morning light dewed, Liu Man'er and his party set sail, after all, the county town is a day's journey from the county seat, if you don't start early, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up at night.

Now there is a person in charge of the car door at home, Liu Man'er does not have to ride a horse as before, which saves her from the pain of rushing, but although this ancient official road is pounced on with bluestone slabs, but after all, it is a stone road, or some bumps, Liu Man'er makes people sew a thin layer of cotton on the four walls of the carriage, and the place where they sit has thick cushions, and there are soft cushions underneath, such a carriage, although it looks very ordinary outside, but it is very comfortable to sit up.

With the company of Cao'er along the way, Liu Man'er didn't feel bored, just talking to Cao'er all the way, telling stories with her, Cao'er was very happy, and when she was resting halfway, she also helped Liu Man'er pinch her back, so that Liu Man'er didn't hurt her in vain.

"My grass is really getting better and better, I'll be able to see the second brother later, are you happy?" The carriage swayed all the way, and Liu Man'er leaned in the sedan chair, teasing the grass.

"Happy." Cao'er nodded busily.

"You've lost weight during this time, and when your second brother sees you, he will definitely say that I didn't take good care of you." Liu Man'er picked her eyes, took the grass and quipped: "Why don't you be in the county seat with your second brother when you fall, what do you think?" ”

"I ......" Cao'er was still happy just now, and when she heard this, she raised her head with teary eyes, "Does my sister dislike me for not knowing anything, is it your burden, sister?" ”

Liu Man'er couldn't help but laugh when she saw Cao'er like this, and hurriedly said: "How come, you are my sister's intimate little padded jacket." ”

"What about that sister?" Cao'er's face was full of grievances.

"I'm not asking for your opinion." Liu Man'er sat up straight and said, "If you don't want to, just refuse, you should have your own ideas, can't you know what others say?" My sister said this to teach you to fight for everything yourself. ”

"Hmm." Hearing Liu Man'er say this, Cao'er nodded and said, "Then I don't want to leave my sister, I want to stay by my sister's side." ”

"Really? What if your father and mother want you to go home and get married? Liu Man'er teased again.

"I don't." Cao'er was like a mosquito and a fly, but he shook his head resolutely, and said: "I'm still young, the women in this county town are all sixteen or seventeen years old, I heard that there are also eighteen or nineteen married, my sister said last time that she wanted to find me a violinist to teach me how to practice, did you forget?" ”

"Of course I haven't forgotten, I just played a joke on you, I'm afraid that you don't know anything to fight for, so what others say is what it is." Liu Man'er taught.

"I won't." Cao'er shook her head and said: "Although I don't like to talk on weekdays, that's because it's all small things, there's no need to worry about it, if it's about these big things, I'm still screwing it up, and I won't open my mouth." ”

"That's good." Touching Cao'er's eyes, seeing that her eyes were firm, knowing that this was her true thoughts, Liu Man'er was relieved.

She was afraid that if she left home after a while, Cao'er would not know how to deal with herself at home, in fact, just said that putting her here was not a joke on her whim, she had considered it like this, but seeing Cao'er's reaction so big, she didn't say much.

As soon as she heard her speak, knowing that she was not the kind of person who was submissive, Liu Man'er was even more relieved, neither Fang nor Ye He were stingy people who could grind people, but Liu Man'er was worried that Cao'er was too sensitive, and she would feel like she was under the fence, and she would be hurt by something they said unintentionally.

But now it seems that it is yourself who thinks more sensitively.

Liu Man'er tested the grass with words along the way, while giving her vaccinations in advance, and whispering to her about sisters......

The county seat, Yefu.

Yun Niang was preparing dinner for Liu Yunsheng and others, her hands were as green as snow, and she carefully pushed the dough away with a rolling pin, planning to make a pot of delicious dumplings for everyone in the evening.

While kneading the dough, Liu Yunsheng's face unconsciously emerged in her mind, the last time she heard him say that he likes to eat dumplings, she kept it in her heart, and when she was free today, she just made it for him to eat, presumably, he will come back later, and he will be happy to see this dumpling.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yun Niang's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and when she smiled, there were two shallow pear vortices at the corners of her mouth, which was very charming.

During this time, Liu Man'er and the others were not in the county, and even Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng also went to the county seat to study, resulting in the fact that every time it was time to eat at home, only herself and Liu Yunsheng were left, and both of them were a little embarrassed at first, but now she has long been used to it, and even she likes this kind of life very much in private, hoping that it will always be like this.

It's just that this must be his own delusion, now, he is not young, he must have been promised to him by his family, he is just an abandoned woman, and he can't have children, how dare he do too many delusions.

But this heart can't help it, thinking that he may marry someone else soon, her heart is a little painful, thinking, tears can't help but hit this chopping board, I really hope that such a beautiful day can be a little longer, but unfortunately, she is not the girl who has not come out of the cabinet, she is a woman who has experienced hardships and vicissitudes, but she never dares to have such a daydream.

Raising her hand and wiping her tears with her sleeve, Yun Niang continued to roll up the dough, she rarely ate dumplings in the past, and she didn't know how to make them, this was what she learned from a cook next door, the cook thought she was the housewife of the house, who knew that she was just a servant they invited.

I really thank my mother for letting her have such a life, she knows that she is already a superfluous person in the Ye family now, and Liu Man'er doesn't need to spend so much money to hire her, so she takes her deep into her heart for Liu Man'er's concern for her.

Every time she is kind to Liu Yunsheng, she also secretly tells herself in her heart that she will regard it as a repayment, he is her brother, and she takes good care of him, which can be regarded as a kind of repayment.

After rolling out the dough, Yun Niang washed her hands, and went to the stove to look at the fire, she stewed big bones in this pot, and the kind cook next door told her that cooking dumplings with big bone stewed soup is the most delicious, and then sprinkled with green onions when it comes out of the pot, that is fragrant.

She has been stewing this big bone for a long time, but the longer this big bone is stewed, the better, so after the soup is boiling, she is still simmering over low heat, and at this moment she lifts the lid of the pot, the soup has turned milky white, and the fragrance is also wafting all over the yard.

Yun Niang smiled contentedly, took water and carefully washed her hands, brought a small stool, reconciled the filling, sat in front of the cutting board, and began to make dumplings.

"It's coming, it's coming." Yun Niang answered, while wiping her hand on the apron and then running to the door, the knock "knock knock" was a little rough and hurried, Yun Niang didn't hear it, she just opened the door in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

However, when she opened the door completely, her expression froze, and the person froze in place: "Why are you here?" ”

"What, I can't come?" The woman glanced at Yun Niang, with a malicious smile on her face, and said, "My sister is doing well in this Ye family now." ”

"As soon as this year's salary is settled by the Ye family, I will give it to you immediately." Yun Niang put her hand on the door, and did not intend to let Zhong Wang and the others in.

"Sister, what you said is out of sight, does my sister-in-law want your salary and others?" Zhong Wang swept Yun Niang's hand away and said: "Sister-in-law came today to pick up my sister and you go home, alas, sister, you work for others every day, every time my sister-in-law and your brother think about it, their hearts are like knives." ”

Saying that, Zhong Wang raised his eyes and looked at the man beside him, and said, "Master, did you say it?" ”
