The next day, Uncle Biao took Ershan to buy ingredients, and went to Siyun Pavilion to inform Su Su and Aunt Chen that they didn't have to hide in Tibet in the future, and Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang cleaned up at home.

In each room, replace a few large basins of bed sheets and tents, Xiaowan Tongtong went to the back door well, and then ran to see Aunt Zhang mopping the floor upstairs, and said to her: "Evening, you go to the kitchen to boil hot water and wash, the well water is cold." ”

Xiaowan smiled secretly, avoided Aunt Zhang and ran back, her right hand was gently clenched into a fist on her chest, and she thought lightly in her heart.

In an instant, the sheets and tents flew up from the wooden basin, the well rope went down to the well with the wooden bucket to draw water, the water vortex in the basin swirled, the sheets and tents swam in the water like fish, and the laundry sticks flew all over the sky, so that one basin after another, as if there were seventeen or eighteen people working at the same time, and in less than half an hour, the three basins were washed clean.

She was no longer frightened, but looked at it with a smile, and when Aunt Zhang finished her busy work to help, she saw that Xiaowan was drying, and couldn't help but say, "Wan'er, so fast, have you washed it clean?" She touched and sniffed it, and it was so clean.

"My God, late, you're too diligent." Aunt Zhang praised again and again, "If I didn't come to be the boss, I'm afraid that the shopkeeper would fire me the next day." ”

Xiaowan hurriedly said: "No, no, even if he does this, I won't agree, I'm the boss anyway." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "How can there be a boss lady who does rough work, the first day you were awkward with each other, now what?" ”

Xiaowan picked up the wooden basin, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Outside the princess, I am inside." ”

The two laughed and entered the door, Ling Chaofeng was returning from outside, seeing that they were happy, he asked what was the matter, Aunt Zhang said: "Late now that I have studied, I can speak in a literate manner." ”

Ling Chaofeng shook his head with a smile and asked, "Do you want to go to the dock with me tomorrow to greet the guests, the refined charcoal I ordered is also from the same boat, and Ershan will also go to help bring the charcoal back." ”

Xiao Wan was very happy, and then worked diligently to clean up the inn all day long, helping Uncle Biao prepare the ingredients, and before he knew it, it was dark.

At night, she drilled around in Ling Chaofeng's arms, and Xianggong drilled around her body, and then fell asleep softly and contentedly, and it was dawn as soon as she opened her eyes.

Ling Chaofeng is wearing indigo dark clothes today, and Xiaowan turned out a middle coat of the same color in the cabinet, the outer hood is a wide border with indigo on a white background, the belt is broad, and a red rope with agate beads is tied, so white is not too plain, indigo is not too dull, everything is just right.

She had learned how to coil her hair for herself, how to match her jewelry, and when she came downstairs to stand beside Ling Chaofeng, she was a pair made in heaven.

Today, there are two carriages, and the guests are privately visited, although they can rent a car at the pier, and they are the guests in the store, of course, they should be taken care of.

On the way, Xiaowan asked Ling Chaofeng what kind of guest he was and how big an official he was.

Ling Chaofeng said: "It's much bigger than the criminal department Shangshu." In fact, after telling Xiaowan, she couldn't tell the difference between high and low, so why be too complicated.

When the sun rose high, a large ship slowly entered the Baisha River, which was originally a merchant ship running the dock, and took all kinds of people.

"Lord Tang has arrived." Ling Chaofeng's eyes were sharp, and as he spoke, he took his wife to meet him.

Xiao Wan looked at it curiously, and saw a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament stepping down from the pedal, looking like he was in his fifties, compared to the previous Lord Sun, he really couldn't see the majesty of a high-ranking official.

"Lord Tang." Ling Chaofeng stepped forward and saluted with his fists, and was just about to introduce Xiaowan, but saw the man waving his hand and turned around as if waiting for something.

Then a pair of men and women came down from the boat, the man was already white, and the lady, although she was not a young girl, looked younger than Aunt Zhang, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament.

"Chaofeng, bring two friends to visit today, do you have a free room?" Lord Tang said gently, "Only for two days." ”

"Who are the two?"

"My friend."

Hearing Lord Tang's answer, Ling Chaofeng knew that he couldn't ask any more, and politely welcomed them to the carriage.

The lady looked curiously at the busy scene on the docks, with a smile in her eyes, fresh in everything, and from time to time she spoke a few words to her husband. The man looked at her with gentle eyes and listened patiently to her.

Although they are not old husbands and young wives, they seem to have a lot of age differences, and the older men have a bit of indescribable momentum, so that Xiaowan does not dare to stare at him, but Mrs. is much gentle, and she is very polite to Xiaowan.

The couple drove together, the guests sat in the carriage, and from time to time they could hear the conversation inside, and the Tang Lord was respectful and kept saying: "Old lady, it is better to be careful when you go out, two or three days is enough." ”

The lady smiled and didn't care: "You are busy with your go." ”

Outside the carriage, Xiaowan asked her husband softly: "Xianggong, are they officials who are bigger than Lord Tang?" ”

Ling Chaofeng smiled lightly: "Maybe, we just entertain the guests." ”

"Well, I don't care." Xiaowan swore an oath, "No matter what happens in the future, I will discuss it with you." ”

Soon, they returned to the inn, and Xiaowan jumped out of the car and brought a small stool from the door, so as to help Mrs. get out of the car.

Madame's hands are white and tender, unlike Aunt Zhang, obviously she never works, and her white jade-like skin is her pampered life.

But she is not the same as a pampered person, with a bit of top-down nobility in her eyes, as if she can tolerate everything.

The shop heard the movement of the carriage and knew that the guests were coming, so Aunt Zhang came out with tea and said with a smile: "Lord Tang, you can look forward to ......."

Xiaowan brought the guests into the door, and Aunt Zhang came to meet her, but she was only halfway through her words, and suddenly she was fixed there, motionless.

The three guests entered the store and sat down, the atmosphere was a little strange, Aunt Zhang put down the tea set, and said indifferently: "I don't know that there are other guests, the hospitality is not good, the villain will go to prepare the teacup." ”

Even Xiaowan felt that something was wrong, but when she saw Ling Chaofeng glaring at her, she quit everyone and went to the back kitchen.

Sure enough, seeing Aunt Zhang holding a tea tray and standing at the door of the kitchen in a daze, she quietly stepped forward and asked softly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

Aunt Zhang came back to her senses and smiled faintly: "It's nothing." ”

When he was young, he took out two teacups, but after thinking about it, he stuffed it into Xiaowan and said: "Your uncle is too busy, I want to give him a hand, so I won't go to the front, late, you go and deal with it." ”

"Oh." Xiaowan naturally agreed, but my aunt is a little strange today, so many things have happened before, and there have been so many strange people, which time is she not a strange thing, today is just two more distinguished guests.

She came back to serve tea, and when she saw her husband and Master Tang standing aside and talking, Ling Chaofeng glanced at her, asking her to do everything as usual, Xiaowan was also clever, not to mention that it was not difficult to deal with the two polite elders at all.

"How old is the little lady?" Madame asked her.

"Seventeen years old, married in early autumn." Xiaowan said shyly, "I have not been learning skills in the inn for a long time, if there is anything that I don't take care of, please include Mrs. My name is Xiao Wan. ”

The man on the side, his voice was noble and his tone was extraordinary, Xiaowan didn't dare to look at him directly, and he smiled at his wife: "It's about the same age as you were back then." ”

was laughed at by his wife: "What about you back then?" ”

At this time, Lord Tang and Ling Chaofeng came over and said to Xiaowan, "Please go to the room to rest, there is still an hour before lunch." ”

Xiao Wan warmly invited: "Madam, please come here." ”

For this couple, the one who opened the Yunze with the best view, Lord Tang was originally Yunlai on the side, but he refused, he had to live in the opposite room facing north, and he was not reluctant to do so, anyway, every room was cleaned.

It's just that after serving tea and water, there are only Xiaowan and Ershan in the store, and Aunt Zhang's laughter can always be heard on weekdays, but after she entered the kitchen today, she didn't show up again.

"Xianggong, is my aunt okay?" Xiaowan was worried.

"You do your thing and take good care of the guests." Ling Chaofeng was not perfunctory, after all, he didn't know where to start with Xiaowan.

Those past events, if Aunt Zhang is determined not to mention them, then turn everything into the wind, if you want to explain, it is better for her to tell Xiaowan in person.

Xiaowan's mind is simple, Aunt Zhang doesn't come, she has to work hard to take care of everything, busy up and down, wait for lunch, and serve the soup soup with Ershan, that Lord Tang refused to dine with the two of them anyway, so he could only set up another table on the side.

Let's say that Xiaowan married into the door and followed Uncle Biao to eat all the world's food, and every time the guests who came to the store, they all marveled at his cooking skills, but these two seemed to have seen the world, although they praised the delicious dishes, but it was just so, and the guests who had seen Xiaowan before were very different.

As for Lord Tang, he was always restless and did not eat a solid meal, and Xiaowan later seemed to hear his wife say to him: "If you do this again, go first, and see that we are restless." ”

It was Xiaowan's turn to eat with Ershan, they were in the back kitchen, Aunt Zhang had already returned to the room, only Uncle Biao was preparing things for the evening, and Xiaowan asked Ershan: "It seems to be a big deal, Xianggong said that Lord Tang is bigger than Shangshu of the Criminal Department, bigger than Lord Sun, so bigger than Lord Tang, how big is it?" ”

Ershan pulled the rice into his mouth, and his speech seemed to be deliberately perfunctory: "It must be big." ”

Uncle Biao was cutting vegetables on the side, silent.

In the afternoon, Ling Chaofeng and Master Tang took the two of them to the town, Xiaowan was busy all morning, and he was resting in the house, but he was worried about Aunt Zhang, so he got up again and went downstairs to the backyard to find Aunt Zhang.

Just as he was about to push the door, he heard Uncle Biao's voice say, "They don't recognize you?" ”

Aunt Zhang's voice was cold, completely like a different person: "You recognize it, smile at me." ”

Uncle Biao asked again: "Does the shopkeeper know?" ”

Aunt Zhang didn't say anything.

Uncle Biao said again: "Now that the matter is over, what else can I do to bring you back?" ”

Xiaowan listened dumbfounded, the guest who came today is an old friend of Aunt Zhang, why did you take her back and where to take her?
