Wan Shi hurriedly put the porcelain plate on the table, as if he was carrying a rabbit in his arms, plopping and jumping, and asked a little worriedly: "Why are you here?" ”

"You sent the honey sauce before, the sauce tastes very good, if you want, you should be able to make some money by selling it in a shop in the capital."

Although Wan Jia still has some savings, but there is no income, the family has long been worried, but there is no good way, at this moment when he heard this, Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said tentatively:

"The recipe for the honey sauce is my brother and sister's, and it can't be sold."

Zhou Zhuangtou hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't have a recipe, just the sauce." ”

In addition to Wan's in the house, there was also her younger brother Wan Ergen, thinking that his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship could be exchanged for money, he went to the yard neatly and called Luo back.

"You sit down first, there is no good tea at home, only some old tea is left, don't dislike it." Wan Shi brought the tea bowl to Zhou Zhuangtou, only to see the man grinning, looking very stupid, and said angrily: "I am a person who eats in the soil, and I can't eat anything when I eat tea, and some of them are good to drink!" ”

As he spoke, Zhou Zhuang's eyes fell on Wan's delicate face, and he found that the woman's face was much better than before, but it still looked a little sallow, and I was afraid that she would have to make up for it.

Wan Ergen and Luo Shi walked in from outside, and in the courtyard before, Luo Zhi heard his man mention it, so he asked, "Zhou Zhuangtou wants to buy little women's honey sauce?" ”

"It's not that I want to buy it, it's going to talk to my wife and put it in Rong'an Fang to sell, if the quality of your honey sauce is not bad, it is estimated that you can make some money, even if it is not much, it is enough to make a living."

This kind of pie in the sky is a good thing, Roche is not a fool, how can there be no reason? I heard that the things in the abandoned village next door are sold in Rong'an Fang, if the honey sauce she makes can also be sold in that kind of expensive shop, then the family will not have to worry about eating and drinking!

Left Zhou Zhuangtou to eat in Wanjia, and steamed the sauce with brocade eggs, Wan's craftsmanship is good, Zhou Zhuangtou can't raise his head to eat, and after sending people away, Luo stared at the sister-in-law with red cheeks, and asked with eyebrows:

"Eldest sister, is Zhou Zhuangtou really interesting to you?"

"Nothing." Wan retorted as he cleaned up the table.

Luo pursed his lips and straightened his lips: "Isn't it right for the eldest sister to say that?" If you really don't have anything else in mind, why do people bother to help our family plan? Could it be that Zhou Zhuangtou had nothing to do and came to the village to do a good deed every day? If he wants to say that he can't just help our family, why doesn't he help others? ”

Wan Shi was a thin-skinned person, and when he heard this, he couldn't erase it, and he couldn't say anything while biting his mouth, and in the end, Luo Shi was afraid of forcing people to be anxious, so he took the initiative to shut up, and the house stopped.

On the second day, Mrs. Zhao came to the abandoned village and entered the Pan'er house, in addition to holding the account book in her hand, she also brought a lot of food that she personally made, lamp shadow beef, bald butter and other things.

As soon as she saw Mrs. Zhao, Pan'er remembered about opening a restaurant, and drank a sip of sour plum soup, the sour smell made the little woman's body excited, sat up straight and said: "Aunt Zhao, there is more and more food produced in Zhuangzi, even if Rong'anfang opens two shops in Beijing, there are still a lot of things left, I think it is better to open a restaurant, so as not to spoil things." ”

"Open a restaurant?"

Mrs. Zhao frowned and thought about it carefully, and said: "Before, the slave maid was also thinking about opening a restaurant, we have no shortage of recipes on hand, but it is not easy to find a good and trustworthy cook, if you can pick the right person, only with the ingredients produced in our Zhuangzi, the business of the restaurant will definitely be prosperous!" ”

Hearing this, Pan'er couldn't help but feel a little worried, there are indeed cooks with good skills in the abandoned village, but Li Shun is a person from the Hou Mansion, and when he came to the Zhuangzi, in addition to taking care of Pan'er, he also had to provide for the old Hou Ye, the Ling family, and Princess Zhao who was in confinement, and he was really busy.

Luan Yu brought a plate of black pearls over, Pan'er pushed it with her fingertips, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Try this, the fruit of Shu is brought to our Shilipo, isn't it also very sweet?" ”

"This is a black pearl?" Mrs. Zhao stayed in the palace when she was young, and the black pearl was a tribute, even in the palace, it was a rare thing, but the concubine's position was high, and there were many good things in her hand, so Mrs. Zhao had naturally seen it a few times.

Pan'er's delicate little face showed a little self-satisfaction, and she said slowly: "There is no shop in Beijing that sells black pearls, in addition to this, there are also thorn gourds, nanguo pears, wolfberry honey ...... in our waste village."

"Zhou Zhuangtou is outside." Luan Yu spoke.

"Hurry up and let him in."

Luan Yu opened the curtain, Zhou Zhuangtou strode in, first saluted Pan'er, and called Aunt Zhao respectfully, then said: "Madam, the plum blossom meat you ate before was made of honey sauce, and that family has encountered some difficulties recently, I don't know if the honey sauce can be made and sold in Rong'an Fang?" ”

Mrs. Zhao is the shopkeeper of Rong'an Fang, and when she heard Zhou Zhuangtou's words, she immediately became interested and asked, "How about the honey sauce?" ”

"It's not bad to eat, it's also good to sell it in the shop, it's the same as Songhua eggs, it's all fifty-fifty, how about it?"

Being able to put it in Rong'an Fang for consignment is already excellent for Zhou Zhuangtou, where will he be picky about anything else, and hurriedly thanked his wife.

Pan'er turned her head and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Aunt Zhao is now in Beijing and touching the storefront, if there is a suitable one, just take it down, and if the silver is not enough, just ask me to get it." ”

There are still a lot of gold essence stones left in the empty house, Chu Liang was in Zhuangzi before, because Pan'er was pregnant, and he couldn't wait to keep an eye on her all the time, so that the little daughter-in-law has not poured out the effort to soak the gold essence stone with spiritual spring water, otherwise it is not difficult to exchange the good ore for silver.

Mrs. Zhao answered, and carefully told Pan'er about this month's accounts, and then sped up and left from the waste village, her daughter is not much older than Young Master Xiaobao, it is the age of trouble, if Mrs. Zhao doesn't go back quickly, maybe she will have to go against the sky again.

It was getting late, Luan Yu poured hot water into the wooden barrel behind the screen, adjusted the water temperature and asked in a low voice: "Madam, the slave is waiting for you to bathe?" ”

Shaking her head, Pan'er still doesn't like to have others around when she bathes, even if Luan Yu has been serving her, the master and servant have long been familiar with each other, and it is no exception.

The little girl withdrew, Pan'er slowly stood up, walked behind the screen, took off the jacquard silk clothes on her body, and rubbed her somewhat swollen heart with her white greasy little hands, and her eyebrows couldn't help but fold up.

When she was just pregnant, her appetite was not good, she couldn't eat all day, her thin chin was pointed, although Chu Liang looked distressed, but Pan'er was secretly happy in her heart, after all, the great cause dynasty was thin for beauty, her body was slightly plumper compared to other women, slender to look good, how could I think that the symptoms of morning sickness had stopped recently, I ate a lot, and my body was naturally plump, pinching a handful of soft meat on my waist, Pan'er stepped on the small pestle into the barrel, and sighed lowly.

Chu Liang has been away from Zhuangzi for a while, usually the man stays by his side, Pan'er doesn't feel anything, and now he hasn't seen each other for ten days and half a month, and when he closes his eyes, he can't help but think of the man's well-defined face, sturdy body, and ......

There was inevitably a little fever on her face, Pan'er snorted, feeling a little ashamed in her heart, obviously she was a woman, she should be reserved, at this moment she was still thinking about this nonsense thing in her head, if it was known by others, where would she still have the face to see people?

Picked up a handful of splashes with both hands, and threw a few strokes on his face, the heat on his face still did not fade, Pan'er simply didn't care about these, and washed his body with flower soap, then slowly walked out of the barrel, twisted his hair half-dry, changed into a silk coat, and blew out the candles in the house, and then went to the kang.

In winter, the fire kang in the master bedroom is burning every night, but now that the weather is getting warmer, Mrs. Wu is afraid that Pan'er will be hot, so she burns the fire every other day, and the house is just facing the sun, which is not cold.

After blowing out the candles, the room was dark, and when Pan'er was about to fall asleep with her eyes closed, she suddenly heard a sound of Suosuo.

She shuddered, her confused head suddenly cleared, and by the bright moonlight she saw the thin sash being pushed open by a small crack, and a hand reached in.

Pan'er couldn't help but scream, it stands to reason that Luan Yu was staying outside, and he should have come in when he heard the movement, but there was no sound outside, and it was a little weird to be quiet.

The heart was pounding and beating, Pan'er reached out and touched a silver hairpin from the cabinet next to the bed, and watched the man in black walk in from outside the house, this person was masked, his figure was very tall, and he walked to the side of the bed in a few steps, Pan'er's body trembled even more, but he saw this person unceremoniously lifted the brocade quilt and made a gesture to climb up the kang.

The little woman couldn't bear it anymore, pinched the silver hairpin in her hand and stabbed at the man fiercely, but unexpectedly, the strength in this person's hand was extremely strong, and she pinched Pan'er's slender wrist, and her voice was hoarse with a little annoyance: "It's only been how long, why can't you even recognize your man?" ”

Hearing the familiar movement, Pan'er was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react, she said why Luan Yu didn't come in when she heard the movement, it turned out that Chu Liang was back.

Relieved, Pan'er's fair cheeks suddenly turned the color of pig liver, she raised her hand angrily and slapped the man's back, and said angrily:

"Come back, come back! If you don't go through the door, you have to open the window, you have nothing to look for......"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Liang lowered his head, pressed his soft lips with rough fingertips, and said in a dumb voice: "Someone will come over later, don't say I'm in the house, if they want to break in, just come in, you don't have to stop it." ”

"Someone coming?"

Who will run to Zhuangzi in this black light?

Thinking so in her heart, there was a sudden noisy noise outside, and Pan'er stepped on embroidered shoes, and through the thin cracks of the window sash, she could see the fire jumping outside.

turned his head and just wanted to ask Chu Liang, but found that the man's figure had disappeared in the house, and he didn't know where he was hiding.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching, only to hear Luan Yu speak: "The general's wife is still resting, you can just say what you have to do, don't go in and disturb the lady." ”

"An assassin ran into the Zhuangzi, and we were ordered to search, even the general's wife."

The person at the head is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and there is a cold light hidden in the tiger's eyes, even if Luan Yu is a dead soldier carefully trained by the Chu family, he can't help but tremble at this moment.

Seeing a group of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, Luan Yu was about to say something, when he heard a squeak, and the door was opened.

"Ma'am?" She couldn't help but scream.

Pan'er wore a robe on her body, her black hair was scattered, and her delicate face was not powdered, but there was a faint hint of anger.

"Did you come to the ruined village in the middle of the night to arrest the assassins, or did you want to trouble our Dingbei Hou Mansion?"

Knowing that the woman in front of him was the general's wife, Commander Qiao's tone couldn't help but soften a little, and arched his hand and said:

"It is indeed Qiao's fault for bumping into Madame, but the assassin injured Your Majesty, even if the Dingbei Hou Mansion was convicted, the Zhenfu Division also wanted to arrest the person and bring it to justice, and asked Madame to make it convenient."

Thinking of what Chu Liang said, Pan'er's face was full of shame, but she finally nodded, and stood stiffly by the door, looking like she was really angry.

Seeing the woman so cooperative, Commander Qiao couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, these five big and three rough men, forcibly broke into the boudoir of the general's wife, even if it was to catch the assassin, it was not a decent thing in the end.

Many brocade guards held candlesticks in their hands, rushed in, looked around, and found nothing abnormal, and then went out quickly.

"Enough trouble?"

Pan'er's body couldn't stop trembling slightly, the brocade guards thought she was angry, but in fact, the little woman's fingertips were cold, and the silk clothes on her body were soaked in cold sweat, she was afraid that Chu Liang would be found out by these people.

Assassinate His Majesty, how could that man be so bold? Thisβ€”this is the capital offense of the Nine Clans!

Commanding Envoy Qiao clasped his fists at Pan'er and saluted, seeing that the delicate woman's face was pale, and her apricot eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and the appearance of crying or not was really pitiful, the man sighed secretly in his heart, with a little apology in his mouth: "I have offended a lot today, and I hope Mrs. Haihan." ”

After saying that, the people of the Zhenfu Division didn't stay here for long, and quickly searched for the next place.

Wearing a thick robe on her body, Pan'er still felt a little cold, walked to the table and drank a sip of cold honey tea, and looked around carefully with apricot eyes, but did not find the man's hiding place.

She still didn't believe that a big living person could lose his head in the room.

Pan'er stood up and walked against the wall, her little hand pressed against the wall, not knowing where Chu Liang was hiding.

"General?" No one answered.

Sitting on the edge of the kang, the slender calf was suddenly pinched, Pan'er looked down and found that Chu Liang was hiding in the flue, with a lot of mud on his face, and even the hand holding Pan'er's calf was also black, and an obvious handprint was left on the snow-white silk clothes.

It's a pity that there is no fire today, otherwise the dignified general Dingbei is afraid that it is not much different from the bacon marinated in the south, and he will be smoked alive by the smoke in the flue.

"How are you hiding in here?"

"There's no hiding place in the house, and they can't find it in the flue."

Originally, the flue of the fire kang was blocked with bamboo boards, and a layer of mattress was laid on it, and the brocade guards of the Zhenfu Division were all young men, very thin-skinned, and it was enough to wipe their faces when they entered the woman's boudoir, where did they still have the courage to rummage through Pan'er's bed? Because of this, Chu Liang hid inside and got through in the dark.

The flue was full of mud, and the man came out of it, and her grizzled face made Pan'er cough, and she couldn't help urging:

"Go wash it, it's dirty."

Chu Liang was unhappy when he heard this, and he was about to kiss his little daughter-in-law's face with his head stretched, Pan'er looked at his mouth full of mud, even if the husband and wife had been separated for so long, she still couldn't speak.

"Don't make a fuss."

Knowing that the little daughter-in-law loves to be clean, Chu Liang snorted, let go of his hand, walked behind the screen in a few steps, took off his clothes and was about to enter the barrel, Pan'er stopped: "That's what I washed." ”

The man turned his head, the slightly thin corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he sighed: "Is there anything that can't be done?" ”

After being married for so long, there are two children, and the little daughter-in-law has long seen how shameless men are, so she only grinds her teeth at the moment, and holds her forehead and says, "Hurry up and clean up." ”

As she spoke, she stepped out from behind the screen and lay down on the kang, facing the snow-white wall, when the sound of rushing water sounded in her ears.

couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his little hand grabbed the brocade quilt, his palm was soaked with sweat, and the soft and smooth fabric was wet.

The sound of the water suddenly stopped.

The slight footsteps approached, her breathing was slightly short, her face was as hot as fire, and even the roots of her ears were a little red.

Pan'er rested early today, the bath water was already cold, Chu Liang got into the quilt directly with cold air, fished out his long arms, hugged the little daughter-in-law tightly in his arms, and asked in a dumb voice:

"Daughter-in-law, do you want me?"

"I don't want to." Pan'er has a hard mouth.

"Don't want to?"

"Hmm."

Chu Liang stared at the little daughter-in-law's blushing cheeks, and fell in love with her duplicity, and out of nowhere he found a thin gold chain, the man turned over, pinched the slender ankle with his rough palm, and tied the gold chain to the ankle.

When the man was bathing just now, the candle flame in the house had been lit, and at this moment Pan'er saw the gold chain, and found that this thing was very slender and delicate, and a few small golden bells were worn in the middle, and the chain was as long as an adult man's arm, and after tying both ankles, it was exactly the same as the shackles, but the shape was more beautiful.

"Chu! Good! ”

Pan'er gritted her teeth and kicked in the man's face, remembering the crisp sound of the bell in the room, the movement was not too big, but it made the little daughter-in-law blush.

"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, you are born white, and you don't look tacky when you wear gold jewelry, I finally kicked this thing upside down, you wear it for a few days, let me feast my eyes and then take it off."

Pan'er glared at Chu Liang.

The bell rang for a long time before it stopped.
