I haven't seen Qu Hongxiu for more than half a month, Qu Hongze has also seen it on the second day of the restaurant's opening, Qu Hongan has not seen him when he arrives in Jicheng, think about them and feel very cordial, how to say that these two people are now their own brothers-in-law in terms of identity, and Qu Hongxiu's sister is even more familiar at first sight.

Even if she didn't have time to hold a ceremony to confess her relatives, Jicheng now almost knows that she is the righteous daughter recognized by the sister of the old princess of Ningyuan, and if she is bullied, she is not afraid that no one will support her.

came out to greet her in person, and when my sister saw her brother, it was natural for her brother to gossip.

I haven't seen Qu Hongxiu for half a month, he is still the same, looking dignified and quiet, but he is cool and coquettish when he speaks, and when he sees Ling Xiaorou, he walks over quickly, holding Ling Xiaorou's hand and talking affectionately.

Qu Hongze has gained weight more than once, listening to the meaning of the shopkeeper He, this guy has to soak in Furong Building almost every day to eat a lot, and he loves to eat big meat the most, so it's strange if he is not fat.

However, he didn't eat without giving money, and Ling Xiaorou didn't ask too much, even if he really ate and didn't give money, Ling Xiaorou wouldn't rush people, since he called him 'second brother', the food was still manageable.

On the contrary, Qu Hongan has lost a lot of weight, compared with Qu Hongze, who is a little chubby, it seems that he has not eaten for a long time, but fortunately, his complexion is okay, he does not have the feeling of yellow skin and thin muscles, but has a little more taste of fireworks in the world, and the whole thing is like flying.

As soon as they saw Ling Xiaorou, the brothers were all dazzled.

Because she was in her own Zhuangzi, Ling Xiaorou didn't wear a face towel, and her plain little face shone with a soft light in the morning sun, as beautiful as a fairy who came to the world.

Qu Hongze covered his eyes, "Sister Rou'er, you suddenly took off the face towel, I look weird and uncomfortable." ”

Ling Xiaorou frowned and asked seriously, "Why don't I wear it?" ”

Qu Hongze hurriedly stopped, "Don't, I'm just saying, it's good for you to look at it like this." ”

Ling Xiaorou glanced at him, and the meaning was obvious: You are strange and difficult to wait.

But the more I looked at it, the more speechless my chubby face became, "Second brother, I haven't seen you for half a month, why are you like a face?" ”

Qu Hongxiu next to him covered his mouth and smiled, "He goes to Furong Building to eat and drink every day, and he is almost in it, so it's strange if he doesn't get fat!" ”

Qu Hongze has always been talked about his body problems these days, and he has long been complaining, and when he heard the beautiful Rou'er sister also ask, he felt that he was the one who was disliked by everyone, "Sister Rou'er thinks I eat too much?" ”

If he hadn't remembered that He Louyuan had warned him not to allow Ling Xiaorou's thighs anymore, he would have jumped up and hugged Ling Xiaorou's thighs for comfort.

Qu Hongan knew his younger brother, but he kept staring at it, and when he saw that he didn't hug Ling Xiaorou's thigh, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Look at your little bit of talent, it's like you don't want to die when you see delicious food." ”

Although it is impossible for him and Ling Xiaorou to be in terms of identity, he still doesn't want Ling Xiaorou to be too close to other men.

The corners of Ling Xiaorou's mouth twitched a little, and she wanted to say: Some people have forgotten how you ate when you were in Zhucun? You two brothers are crows that fall on pigs, they are generally black, and no one can say anything.

Looking at the contrasting figures of Qu Hongan and Qu Hongze, Ling Xiaorou swallowed back her words silently. I don't know where Qu Hongan committed any crime, why did he lose weight like this?

After a few words, the three brothers and sisters explained their intentions.

Yesterday, the old princess sent someone to tell Zhang Zhifu that she wanted to buy the mountain behind Zhuangzi, and Zhang Zhifu immediately did it in person, but unfortunately when the mountain deed was sent, Ling Xiaorou had already accompanied the old princess and sisters back to Zhuangzi.

happened to meet the three brothers and sisters of the Qu family who went out to travel and returned home, and heard that their mother and aunt had gone to Ling Xiaorou's Zhuangzi, and they were also tempted, so they asked Zhang Zhifu to hand over the mountain deed to them, and they would personally send it tomorrow.

Governor Zhang knew that he was not afraid of making mistakes by handing over the mountain deed to the three brothers and sisters of the Qu family, so he returned to the prefect's yamen with confidence.

So, early in the morning, in the name of sending the mountain deed, the three brothers and sisters, who actually planned to come to Zhuangzi to live for a few days, rode out of the city and inquired about finding it.

After taking the mountain deed, Ling Xiaorou took a look at it and found that in addition to the mountain, even the ten hectares of fertile land behind the mountain were also divided into one place, all of which were calculated according to the mountain, whether it was to buy land or pay taxes, it was less than one-tenth of the good land, but it was the show of favor from Governor Zhang, and she was a little grateful.

Only then did she have to consult with the steward whether to continue to buy people to farm, or to recruit some tenants from outside.

The three brothers and sisters were welcomed into the Zhuangzi, just in time for the old princess and Mrs. Qu to get up early and come back, a few quite delicate dim sum were put on the table, with thick porridge boiled, and a few small pickles, which looked better than the big dishes made by the villagers.

Ling Xiaorou paid attention to it, and when the old princess and Mrs. Qu saw the food on the table, their brows furrowed slightly, although they didn't say anything, their eyes were a little disappointed.

If you are used to the craftsmanship of the cooks, where can you not see that these are made by them? It seems that the old princess wants to eat the breakfast made by the villagers.

Sure enough, after breakfast, the old princess summoned the cooks, and said very gently and tactfully: "I was in a hurry when I came yesterday, but I was negligent, although the prince is not in the house now, but most of the cooks in the house have been taken away, you come out with me this time, I am afraid that the manpower in the house will be insufficient, so you will go back to the house and go to the kitchen to help the helpers." ”

The cooks are a little dumbfounded, the palace is now only a few masters of the Qu family, what is the shortage of manpower?

Don't look at what the old princess said tactfully, but there is only one meaning expressed: you are not needed here, you can go back to the house.

Is it because the old princess is not satisfied with the food they cooked? But I have been eating like this, and I haven't seen any dissatisfaction with the old princess.

Thinking about the words that came out, the old princess not only ate a few more bites of food, but also added an extra bowl of rice, could it be that the cooking skills they have always been proud of are not as good as a few Zhuang women on the Zhuangzi?

No matter how reluctant she was, the old princess didn't dare not listen to her words, so she packed up and went back to the palace, and if she behaved well, she might be able to continue to stay with the old princess and wait, if she made the old princess unhappy, maybe she would be kicked out of the palace.

If you are really kicked out, where can you find such a free and high-money master? The key is that there are few masters in the palace, if there are no guests, and when the prince is out to fight, the old princess is only one master.

Just don't drive out, how can a mother-in-law who does rough work be as comfortable as a cook?

Seeing that a few cooks were gone, and the others were still not doing anything, Qu Hongze and Qu Hongxiu chattered around, Qu Hongze said bluntly: "Auntie, you just brought them over, there is Sister Rou'er here, are you afraid that there is no good food?" ”

The old princess stared at her nephew's increasingly round figure with a smile, and sighed: "Why is Ze'er like blowing, my aunt thought about it, it's better to keep them down, or let people chase them back?" ”

Qu Hongze hugged the old princess's thigh and howled: "Auntie, you can't, Ze'er would rather die fat than without food!" ”

The exaggerated expression and declaration provoked everyone to laugh, and the old lady teased him, she was still looking forward to Ling Xiaorou's craftsmanship, otherwise she would not have left the palace to live in Zhuangzi.

After breakfast, the coachman who was taken to the city by Ling Xiaorou yesterday and forgot it in Furong Lou also drove back, Furong Lou's business is good, and the fish sells better, if you don't come back and pull another cart of fish, it will definitely not be enough to sell.

Because the fish in the river are rarely beaten, the big and small fish can pick out the size of the same, and those that are too big can not be raised all the time, so they are all fished out and sent to Furong Building, and they can not be sold by the strip or by the catty, right?

Arrange people to fish, Ling Xiaorou personally led the old princess and a few people to walk around the river outside Zhuangzi, it was river fish and lotus, the old princess was happy, let people set up a small boat and row a circle in the water.

The frightened people on the shore widened their eyes, for fear that the old princess would accidentally fall into the water, but fortunately, the old princess did not stay in the water for long, and went ashore after rowing a circle, and saw everyone's nervous appearance, and smiled heartily: "You are just rare and strange, I think when I went to the battlefield with the old prince, what battle had I not seen?" It's just a small river. ”

As he spoke, his expression was a little gloomy, thinking that he remembered that he had a deep relationship with the old King Ningyuan and his wife, but now he is alone.

Only then did Ling Xiaorou know that although the old princess was noble and pampered, she was also a strange woman back then, at least if she was asked to go around the battlefield, she would not have the guts.

The old princess was only a little nostalgic, and then she was relieved, the deceased is gone, and she still has to be strong to support her son, and it is not time to be sad.

When Qu Hongze saw a group of tender ducklings and fat geese that had grown up a lot, he was immediately overjoyed, and rushed into the duck flock as he ran, and the frightened ducklings scattered and fled.

As a result, there was a burst of dog barking, and with the barking, a black half-big wolf dog rushed out and ran in circles by the river chasing Qu Hongze, who was yelling 'wow'.

I have to say that since being taught by Ling Xiaorou for catching ducks, Xiao Hei deeply realized his mistake, and since then not only has he never caught a duck again, but he has also become a duck dog, as long as someone with a strange smell dares to approach the ducks, it will issue a warning. Not to mention Qu Hongze, who rushed into the duck flock like a vicious tiger.

So far, I haven't really bitten Qu Hongze, so I'm still waiting for the master's order.

At the beginning, Mrs. Qu was shocked when she saw her son being chased by a dog, but when she saw that Xiao Hei caught up with Qu Hongze several times in the end, she just barked and didn't really move her mouth, she understood that this dog didn't bite, but only scared Qu Hongze.

Especially the old princess, as soon as she saw Xiao Hei, she recognized that it was the black treasure that her son had lost when he was in Qu Mansion and got it from the emperor.

The old princess didn't know how the black treasure got into Ling Xiaorou's hands, but when she was in Qu Mansion, her son had already approached Ling Xiaorou with the black treasure, and the smile on her face was even stronger.

It seems that her son cares more about Ling Xiaorou than she thought, didn't she even give away the baby's black treasure?

Seeing that his mother and aunt were not worried, Qu Hongan and Qu Hongxiu were not worried, not to mention that they were quite happy to see the fat Qu Hongze being chased by dogs.

Run, run, run, maybe you'll lose weight!
