When Xianghua and Ying'er came down, Qian Xiaoman was already explaining things to the shopkeeper.

"Come on, come on, please take a seat, the dishes are all freshly served, taste whether it's good or not."

Xianghua first drank a sip of sauerkraut fish soup, which was light and refreshing, slightly sour and slightly spicy, and it was really appetizing.

Several people hadn't eaten so well for a few days, and they didn't talk much, so they were all busy eating.

After eating, Qian Xiaoman whispered: "I have already asked someone to deliver the letter, and that father-in-law will come in a few days." Before he comes, you and Ying'er can go to the city for a walk, I originally wanted to go and have a fun, but there are some important things waiting for me, so I'll let Ah Fu take you to go shopping. ”

Xianghua smiled: "It's okay for us to go for a walk by ourselves, your affairs over there are important." ”

Qian Xiaoman smiled and said: "Ah Fu is Ah Shun's brother, you will know him later, he is more flexible than Ah Shun, and he also knows a lot of your stories." With him with you, I'm not worried. ”

Xianghua smiled and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Qian Xiaoman was going to talk to Xiao Huang for a while, but the shopkeeper came to talk to her about something, which seemed to be a little tricky, Qian Xiaoman apologized and said that something came to the door, so he could only accompany Ah Fu first.

When Ah Fu ran over, Xianghua was happy when she saw him.

Sure enough, they are brothers, Ah Fu and Ah Shun are simply carved out of the same mold, but Ah Fu is slightly taller and his skin is a little whiter.

When he saw Xianghua, he blushed a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Xianghua Girl for a long time, and it is really extraordinary to see it today." ”

Xianghua listened to him and asked, "Ah Fu, have you studied?" ”

Ah Fu smiled: "I haven't read it much, I just learned to speak from the boss." ”

Xianghua smiled: "Don't be so polite with me, Ah Shun often eats at our house." I've got something to deliver to a few families, so you can take it down. ”

Ah Fu nodded and said happily: "I know all the big and small roads in this city, and it is not a problem to lead the way." Where is Miss Fragrant Flower going? ”

Xianghua said: "The Yiyong Palace, the Zhongshun Palace, as well as the Zhenguo General's Mansion and the Zhu Family, do you know them?" ”

Ah Fu widened his eyes and said, "This ...... Of course I know these famous places, does Miss Xianghua know these nobles? ”

Xianghua smiled: "I've only met a few times." ”

According to the distance, Xianghua went to Zhu's house first.

Zhu Jinxiu happened to be at home, and heard the porter say that there was a fragrant flower girl from Jinzhou who asked to see her, so she ran all the way to see her.

"Fragrant flowers!" Zhu Jinxiu took her hand and looked it up and down, and said in surprise, "Why did you come to the capital?" ”

Xianghua smiled and said, "It's a little something, but it doesn't matter. Thinking that I'm here, I'll bring you something. This is strawberry preserves, I didn't eat it last time, but this time I brought it to you. There are some others, not too expensive, let's eat and play. ”

Zhu Jinxiu was as happy as a lark, and kept chattering: "Since you are here, come to our house and sit down." The last time we stayed in your house for so long, this time it's finally my place to entertain you! ”

Xianghua smiled: "I'll come back another day, there are still a few more to send here." ”

Zhu Jinxiu asked, "Where else are you going?" I'll go with you! ”

Xianghua said where she was going, and as soon as Zhu Jinxiu heard that she was going to the General's Mansion, she said: "Zhao Xu is not here, and Uncle Zhao is not here, if you don't have me with you, you may have to eat closed-door soup, I'll go with you." ”

Xianghua thanked her for her kindness, and the three of them went to Zhao's mansion together.

The General's Mansion is worthy of being the General's Mansion, and the two stone lions standing at the door are magnificent, their eyes are the size of copper bells, and their expressions are lifelike, and they are ready to pounce.

Ying'er had never seen these scenes before, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

After the porter went in and gave their names, the three of them waited for a while before they saw a handsome maid come and invite them in.

The maid led the way in front and said, "Madame said that I had heard a lot of stories about the fragrant flower girl before, and I always wanted to meet her, but I only hated the mountains and rivers. It's a blessing to see you today. ”

Zhu Jinxiu took Xianghua's hand and whispered: "She didn't lie, she is my aunt's favorite maid Chunxiao, and I value you very much to be able to come out to pick you up in person." ”

Xianghua thanked softly.

Although she was silent on her face, she was a little worried in her heart. She thought too simply, thinking that it would be enough to deliver the gift, but she didn't expect that there were many rules in various prefectures. Looking at the style of the general's wife and the demeanor of this Chunxiao, the general's mansion must have strict rules. If it weren't for Zhu Jinxiu by her side, Xianghua would really want to leave.

A few people walked through a few corridors and crossed a rockery before finally meeting Zhao Xu's mother.

"The folk girl Xianghua meets the general's wife." Xianghua saluted her.

"Excuse me, please take a seat."

Xianghua learned from Zhu Jinxiu's appearance, only sat on half of the chair, and her body was straight, and then she raised her eyes to look at the general's wife.

The general's wife Zhao An has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Zhao Tao has already married a family, and he is also in his forties, but his appearance is only about thirty, with shaved shoulders and a thin waist, a long figure, a duck egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to Shenfei, with a hint of heroism in his handsome face, and he is smiling at the moment looking at Xianghua.

As soon as Xianghua made eye contact with her, she smiled slightly and lowered her head.

Zhao Anshi smiled: "It's really better to meet after a long time, I know why the master wrote that letter of recommendation to your family." ”

Zhao Anshi thought to himself, this Cheng Xianghua's identity is indeed a peasant girl, but there is no petty family spirit in her vision, she is frank and upright and will not be rude, it is rare that this is just right. It's no wonder that her family's silly boy misses her.

Xianghua said with a smile: "It was really helpless to ask General Zhenguo to write a letter of recommendation. General Zhenguo not only has the decisiveness to gallop on the battlefield, but also has the compassion to be considerate of the suffering, and the whole family is grateful for the great kindness of the general, and it is unforgettable. ”

Zhao Anshi smiled slightly: "I heard Xu'er say that your family used the money they earned to build a dam and a school, and there are two talents in the village this year, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhu Jinxiu preemptively said: "Auntie, these things are true!" One of the talents is Xianghua's own brother, who is only eleven years old! You haven't seen it with your own eyes, if you see Qingshan Village, you will think it's a paradise! ”

Zhao Anshi couldn't help but smile: "Okay, when will I go and see it myself." ”

She said to Xianghua again: "In this case, the letter of recommendation written by the master is to make the best use of everything, and it is also immeasurable that you can have such a mind when you become a family." ”

Xianghua bowed her head and saluted: "Thank you for the compliment, the general's wife is complimenting, starting a family is just a little bit of effort." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice outside say loudly: "Miss Xianghua is too modest, and what she has done in the family will make many officials shameless." ”
