"This ......" The second uncle Chu Qiu's expression was uncertain, and he glanced at the old lady on the stage who still didn't say a word.
As for Uncle Dong, her face was happy and she glanced at Uncle Dong, and immediately spoke: "This girl is older, and it's time to learn how to manage the house." Speaking of which, it is an ordinary rich family, but the general horn can follow the accounts at his age. The son-in-law only learned at this time, but it was still too late. ”
Uncle Dong drank warm wine and gulped down the meat - said, "Yes, yes, it's late." ”
The second uncle and mother held back their faces and said: "That's right, the eldest brother's wife is not in good health, and the son-in-law is filial and often serves in front of the sickbed, so this is delayed......"
Aunt Dong didn't wait for her to finish: "It's delayed, but it needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible." What's more, now the son-in-law also has the heart to learn, the second family, you say yes? ”
Second Uncle Chu Qiu's expression was already hesitant.
The second uncle continued: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that our Chu family has always governed the family with filial piety, and this filial piety to parents in front of the bed, if you learn to be a housekeeper, it will inevitably affect, this comes and goes, and the outside may not know what to say about us, master, look at this ......"
The old lady put down the venison and said, "The boss has been sick for so long, and he has finally improved, and a little girl holds a medicine jar every day, and it is time to learn other things." Don't you mumble every day that you can't take care of the housekeeper alone, isn't it good for any little girl to help you? ”
"Aunt Jun, how did I say that it was hard, and besides, Fu'er has helped me recently, and I can be busy, busy."
Hearing this, the honey-colored girl got up and saluted, this is Dong Fu, the old lady's family, the widow of the second uncle.
The old lady didn't speak when she saw that it was Dong Fu.
Uncle Dong laughed out loud, the little widow's little hooves did her good deeds: "The second uncle and mother did this, but her own daughter-in-law didn't teach, but helped the little girl outside, what happened?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Dong behind her pulled her.
The old lady above also glared at her.
She is also the daughter-in-law of the Dong family, even if she doesn't like Cheng Rong anymore, she shouldn't elbow her head out.
Aunt Dong didn't dare to say anything more now, so she sat down.
Chu Xujun listened for a while, and looked at everyone's expressions, the old lady and Uncle Dong ate meat, the second uncle ate wine, and the second uncle stood in the middle, looking at her with a smug expression.
As for the honey-colored girl, she looked disgusted to stay here.
The stewardship is a matter of the inner court, and the other four brothers who are still studying outside the house are inconvenient to say.
Seeing this, Ah Zhu had already gotten up and was about to invite his mother-in-law over.
Chu Xujun motioned to Ximei to get something, and slowly came to the second uncle's side step by step.
The fleece solid color socks stepped on the black and gray lacquered wood floor, which lined Chu Xujun's petite and delicate jade.
"Second uncle and aunt, don't worry, I want you to be busy all day long, and you haven't tasted tofu yet, take advantage of everyone's presence today, give it a try, and hope that the second uncle and aunt will give you this face."
The second uncle, Cheng Rong, already felt that she had won today, and Chu Xujun had not been able to get the right to learn the housekeeper, so she came directly to flatter herself.
Hmph, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, the biological daughter of Hua Liancheng, you also have today.
In the past, even if Chu Xujun was already prostrate in front of his parents' sickbed, he had never spoken well or whispered to himself, but today he has opened his mind.
Since this is the case, she will give this junior a little face.
It's a pity that Hua Liancheng couldn't come over to see how "well-behaved" her daughter was.
The second uncle sat back in her place with a proud expression: "Since this is the case, I will give you this face." ”
Ximei led the servant woman and served cold dishes of ginger tofu and shallots mixed with tofu on everyone's desk.
At this time, everyone in the house had just used a large piece of meat, black pickles and greasy sauce, and there was no tea at this time, so if they wanted to relieve their greasy, a bowl of slightly sweet and slightly spicy ginger tofu flowers, and a few mouthfuls of refreshing white tofu, how timely it was.
Chu Xujun introduced while giving Chu Wen and Chu Liang a look.
Chu Wen, the eldest brother of Wufu, couldn't react, Chu Liang had already gotten up and came to the front of the old lady and the second uncle: "The craftsmanship is really good, this tofu is fragrant and smooth, the white tofu is refreshing, and it is very good to use it before and after meals." ”
The old lady looked at her grandson at this time and also used it.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on tofu, Chu Xujun leaned into the ear of his second uncle Cheng Rong and whispered: "Second uncle, do you want to know when Chu Jie was found out when he met someone outside in the academy?" As for which Yingying Yanyan is seeing, maybe the second uncle and mother know it? ”
The pupils of the second uncle Cheng Rong widened, and she couldn't believe it when she looked at this little girl with her head down, and Wen Wan was still whispering to her to "use it slowly".
The words she had just confided in her ear were like a green snake dispatching, and there was still a chill on her neck, colder than the cold spring outside.
"Second uncle, what do you think of this tofu?" Chu Xujun added a sentence at the end, "What should I do next, I don't need to teach my second uncle and aunt, right?" ”
Chu Xujun hired and curled back to his seat.
Aunt Dong got up again: "Don't say it, the two dishes of the son-in-law are really good, I heard that they are made of soybeans, and they are so different, the son-in-law has such a clever mind." ”
"Hehe, hehe......" The second uncle Cheng Rong laughed awkwardly, "The son-in-law is really good at craftsmanship, and she is very thoughtful when she wants to come, and she must be a good hand at learning housekeeping matters." It's to take care of your parents, I wonder if it will be hard? ”
Chu Xujun immediately widened his beautiful eyes slightly, and said in disbelief: "Thank you second uncle and aunt for being willing to teach you." Mi Mi will definitely do his best not to cause trouble to the second uncle and aunt. ”
She bit the word "trouble" heavily, and the second uncle and mother sat down hatefully.
Chu Xujun looked at his second uncle timidly with a pair of beautiful eyes.
The second uncle, Chu Qiu, nodded lightly: "Tofu is really good, study hard, and if you want to sell it to a servant, don't come forward." ”
"Yes, I know."
Chu Liang turned around, lowered his head and drank tofu flowers, thinking to himself, my sister's acting skills have passed, and I will show her next time, let her learn a thing or two.
The old lady got up at this time, although she couldn't understand it, but she also knew that today's dinner was not a dinner party to welcome the four brothers back at all, she took Chu Jie's hand and went back to her house.
Seeing the old lady come out, Hua Liancheng, who had already arrived, happened to see the scene where Chu Xujun won the right to learn housekeeping, she turned to hide her figure, and said to Ah Zhu: "Mi Mi has really grown up, and she has suffered these days." ”
Ah Zhu said softly: "The son-in-law has indeed suffered a lot, but fortunately, the lady is getting better day by day, and the son-in-law still has something to rely on." ”
"You're right, I have to get better quickly."
A master and a servant left the nave and headed towards the embroidery tower.
Seeing that the old lady assisted and took Chu Jie away, the second uncle and aunt also hurriedly followed.
Chu Xujun hurriedly came to the side of the second uncle.
The second uncle and mother will definitely ask Chu Jie next to confirm whether Chu Jie did anything bad when he was studying.
And Chu Jie must bite to death and deny it, the second uncle thinks that there is no handle, and he will definitely regret it in front of the second uncle when he turns his head.
At this time, Chu Xia's handwriting can come in handy.
