Chapter 12 Filial piety

"Madam, young master, and me, and Bao'er, Bao'er is also making money to support her family. By the way, there is also Uncle Zhong!" I don't know when, Bao'er has come back, and when she saw her young master at the door coming back with a cart of rice and meat, she ran out in surprise to offer treasure, and she still held a few unfinished embroideries in her hands.

Zhang Xuan smiled, couldn't help touching Bao'er's head, and said, "Yes, yes, how can we forget our capable Bao'er?"

Bao'er squinted her eyes in enjoyment: "And what about Uncle Zhong?" ”

"Well, it's the young master's fault, and it should be punished. ”

"What is the punishment?"

"Punish Bao'er and eat all the meat. ”

"No, no, it's the young master who is wrong, how can you punish Bao'er?"

"Because you are the young master's maid! Why, Bao'er is not willing to be punished for the young master?"

"No, no, of course Bao'er is willing to be punished for the young master. It's just that so much meat will spoil Bao'er! Bao'er only needs to eat a small piece, and the rest of the young master has to eat, and the young master has to study so hard; then Mrs. has to eat, and Madame has to weave until late every day, and it is also very hard; and Uncle Zhong has to eat, and Uncle Zhong is very tired from going to work every day!"

Looking at the cute expression of this little girl who was wrapped around herself, and the innocence of thinking about others1

If it weren't for the ancient times, Zhang Xuan really wanted to hug her face and kiss her, as an only child, Zhang Xuan always wanted to have such a sister!

Mother Zhang looked at the pair of men and women who were as close as brothers and sisters while walking, with a happy smile on her face.

In fact, although Bao'er is the maid of the Zhang family in name, whether it is the deceased Master Zhang and Zhang Xuan's father, or now her mother, herself and Uncle Zhong all treat her as the daughter of the Zhang family, and she can't be spoiled.

"What, doesn't Bao'er like to eat meat?" Looking at Bao'er's somewhat thin face, Zhang Xuan touched Bao'er's green silk.

"I like it, Bao'er hasn't tasted meat for nearly two months, but will she be fat!Ah, by the way, it's almost noon, young master, you go back to the room first, Bao'er will cook, and Bao'er will send food to Uncle Zhong later!"

Looking at the girl who jumped up and down to cook in the kitchen, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

In the past, the family could still see meat every half a month, but since he got sick, the family has plummeted, and the only money is given to Zhang Xuan to treat his illness and take medicine, even if he sometimes grits his teeth and buys some meat, he is also for himself.

However, Zhang Xuan believes that his life will definitely get better in the future!

didn't wait long, Zhang Xuan was called to the front hall for dinner.

There are not many dishes, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of fried meat, and a stewed soup.

Zhang Xuan just sat down at the dinner table, but saw his mother pulling the salivating Bao'er out, Zhang Xuan could still sit there, hurriedly got up and grabbed his mother and Bao'er, and said, "Mother, Bao'er, where are you going?"

Mother Zhang patted Zhang Xuan's hand and said, "Xuan'er, you can eat." Mother and Bao'er go to the kitchen to eat, and keep them! Since ancient times, women have not eaten at the same table!" (Scholars are not too clear about this rule, so everyone should have it, don't take it seriously.) οΌ‰

Zhang Xuan thought of rice soup and black steamed buns, where would he believe it. Without saying anything, he pressed his mother and Bao'er on the chair and said, "Mother, now our family doesn't have to worry about eating." Moreover, in this family, you are the biggest, and I don't care what rules are unruly, we will eat at the same table, and from now on, it will be the same. ”

"Okay, well, you are the head of the family, you can be as good as you say, according to you, it depends on you!" Mother Zhang patted Zhang Xuan's hand, very pleased.

"Young master, Madame is the biggest, how old is that Bao'er?"

"You, of course, the fourth. Zhang Xuan nodded at Bao'er's little white and tender head that stood out because of her maid's bun.

"Okay, yes, Bao'er is the fourth!" the little girl was overjoyed, but then she reacted, her face pulled and said, "No, no, one, two, three, four, the fourth, isn't that the smallest?" and then tilted her head outward, and said angrily: "The young master is bad, Bao'er ignores the young master!"

Looking at the girl's angry little face, Zhang Xuan still couldn't hold back, reached out and poked, smooth and tender, the feel was not ordinarily good!

After everyone sat down, Zhang Xuan was about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but when he saw his mother standing up again, he hurriedly put down the chopsticks, took Zhang's mother's hand and said, "Mother, didn't you say that you would eat together?"

"Xuan'er, my mother doesn't want to leave the table, my mother is going to serve dinner. ”

Zhang Xuan's face was embarrassed for a while, it turned out that he had made a fuss. I didn't notice it just now, my mother and Bao'er didn't plan to eat here, of course there were no dishes and chopsticks on the table, so I was careless.

"Hmph, the young master is so stupid! How can you eat without a bowl!" The little girl was obviously proud of the young master who had just teased her: "Madam, young master, you sit down, Bao'er will go and serve the meal." After saying that, he ran out without waiting for an answer.

As soon as Zhang Xuan got up the idea of helping his mother serve dinner, Bao'er took the lead, so he had to sit back again.

At the dinner table, Zhang Xuan kept sandwiching meat for his mother, and Zhang's mother kept saying, "Xuan'er has grown up and is sensible!"

As for Bao'er, the little girl seemed to be still angry with her young master, and she was fighting with the piece of hand-to-hand that Zhang's mother had just given her.

Zhang Xuanwan smiled and said, "Come, good Bao'er, the young master will give you a piece of meat to eat and make amends for your sins." ”

"Young master, no need, Bao'er is not angry with the young master!" the little girl immediately couldn't hold back and said in a panic.

Speaking of the back, he looked entangled again: "Bao'er has already eaten a piece, and if she eats it again, she will be fat." Ying'er said that women who are too fat are not liked. ”

looked at the little girl's thin face, and was naΓ―ve and tangled. Zhang Xuan touched Bao'er's head and said: "Our Bao'er won't get fat no matter how much she eats, it's just too thin, everyone says that plump women are easy to give birth to." ”

"Really?" said Bo'er, with a look of suspicion and expectation.

"Really, it's more real than steaming. Did the young master deceive you? I'm going to raise our family Bao'er for nothing and find you a good in-law in the future. Zhang Xuan said dotingly.

"Bao'er doesn't want to get married, Bao'er wants to accompany Mrs. and Young Master for the rest of her life!" The little girl finally stopped being entangled, and buried herself in the struggle with her second piece of meat.

Listening to Bao'er's blurted out words, Zhang Xuan was stunned. Such a delicate and lovely girl, Zhang Xuan is really reluctant to cheapen a white-eyed wolf.

"Anyway, the girl is still young now, let's talk about it later!" Zhang Xuan muttered to himself, and then joined the ranks of the big food.

Li looked at a pair of noisy children, and he also had a great appetite.

After the meal, Bao'er happily sent food to Uncle Zhong, her mother Li was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Xuan wanted to come forward to help, but was driven back by Zhang's mother on the grounds that "the gentleman is far away from the kitchen".

"There are so many ancient rules!" couldn't resist his mother, Zhang Xuan had to go back to the house by himself.
