After Xu Yu left, Yun Su and Qiu Ping washed their faces together, changed their clothes, and asked, "Where is the satin I embroidered for my mother?" ”

Qiu Ping replied: "I'm afraid of getting dirty, so I covered it with a white cloth and put it upstairs." I remember it was many days ago, and the young lady asked what was this for? ”

"Don't ask." Yun Su sat down in the hall, "You take it down, and you're done." ”

Qiu Ping said: "Let's take it after eating." ”

Yun Su said: "You're lazy again, haven't you rested enough to stay at home?" I'll be waiting to do this, so I'll get it. ”

"Okay." Qiu Ping said with a smile as she walked: "I don't want to get up, I won't do it for a month, but when I think about it, I will do it immediately." Let's see, we can't do it for two hours, and I'm tired of it. ”

Yun Su said speechlessly: "You girl, you will talk to people when you meet people, and you are bold, and you actually talk about me." ”

"Hee-hee." Qiu Ping smiled and went upstairs and took off the embroidery.

Xu Yunsu didn't care about eating, so he washed his hands first, put the silk thread needles and other things on the table, and checked the embroidery against the window, and hurried to embroider it.

In order not to let the girls laugh, it was rare to embroider for a full hour.

Xu Yunning came in from outside and said with a smile: "Why are you so happy today, come here to get this again?" ”

Yun Su glanced up at her sister, did not speak, and continued to concentrate on embroidering her flowers

Following Yun Ning's mother-in-law to find their own places to rest, without a maid, Yun Ning took off her coat and called Ruilan Qiuping twice, but no one answered, so she said: "They are too playful now, what is it called, and they are always nowhere to be seen." ”

Yun Su said casually: "What do you have to do, you want someone to serve?" ”

"Tell them to hang my clothes." Yun Ning said.

Yun Su lowered his head and embroidered, and said: "You can hang it yourself, don't you have to call someone?" You're not a kid anymore, and you don't have to be told to do something. Do it yourself. ”

"Okay." Yun Ning was about to hang her coat on the hanger, when Jiang Ma outside walked in to pick up the clothes, Yun Ning hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't, I'll come by myself." ”

This move made Jiang's mother embarrassed, and she smiled, thinking that the young lady disliked her. Fortunately, Yun Ning saw it and said, "Mom will help me pour a bowl of tea." ”

"Hey." Jiang's mother was suddenly happy and walked out excitedly.

Yun Su glanced at her sister and smiled. Yun Ning walked over, sat opposite and asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Yun Su picked up the long needle. nodded a few points at her, pouted, and said, "You're just like them." ”

"How am I?" Yun Ning asked.

"I know for myself." Yun Su continued to embroider and snorted in his nose.

At this time, Jiang's mother brought the tea, Yun Ning thanked her, and looked at the teacup without meaning to pick it up. After Jiang's mother left, Yun Su said: "Let me ask you, you first asked Qiu Ping and them to hang up their clothes, why did your mother come in and you didn't want her to hang them?" It's all the same hand. Why do some people hang up and others can't? ”

Yun Ning was silent at first, and then said, "I've made you pick your eyes again." Didn't you say that you can do what you can do by yourself? Since I hang my own clothes, do you think I'm picky? Well, I'll admit that I have a problem with my brothers, and I don't like some people to handle it. It's not clean, it's not specifically aimed at her. ”

Yun Su smiled and said, "You guys! Never mind. I won't say anything. ”

Suddenly, Yun Ning quickly stood up and rushed out like a fly, Yun Su hurriedly raised her head, and saw her sister throwing herself into her father's arms, and said coquettishly: "Why is my father here?" ”

"Naturally, I miss you." Xu Hao smiled and hugged his daughter for a few turns, put it down, took her hand and walked into the house, hugged Yun Su and kissed her tender face, and the itchy Yun Su suddenly giggled.

The two daughters accompanied him left and right, and Xu Hao's mood was extremely comfortable. At this time, the two cooks carried the food box into the courtyard, and were surprised to see that the old man was in the house, standing in the courtyard and did not dare to come in.

Jiang's mother took it in and said, "Is the master eating now?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Hao saw that there was no one else in the house, and said with a smile: "Our father and daughter are not clean people, we don't need to wash our hands, and we don't need people to stand on duty, just eat like this." ”

"Huh." Jiang's mother smiled and opened a food box first, and Yun Su directly took out three pairs of bowls and chopsticks from it.

Yun Ning looked at it hesitantly, and reached out to take a plate of shredded chicken mixed with king gourd, a plate of fried winter bamboo shoots with cabbage, a plate of fried pea seedlings with dried shrimp, and a big bowl of tomato and egg soup.

Xu Hao smiled: "Why are they all light dishes?" Even if you two want to stay in shape, you'll have to eat some meat, right? ”

"Big fish and big meat are full of greasy stomachs, which is not good for the body." Yun Su smiled and pointed to the dish, "Even my father doesn't know about folk affairs, although this king melon is cheap, but winter bamboo shoots and pea seedlings are expensive, I don't dare to order it when I'm free, it costs too much." ”

The cook outside smiled through the curtain when she heard this: "Miss, what she said is right. Master, I said that the winter bamboo shoots were stored in the vegetable market with yellow sand, and the crockpots were buckled, and the treasures refused to sell them, so they waited for someone to come to the palace. It's this plate, there is nothing that can't be done with a tael of silver, and there is no price in the market. It is very easy for the master to eat meat dishes, but this vegetarian dish must be tender, tasteful, and homely, which is really difficult for our kitchen. ”

"I'm really too pampered." Xu Hao sighed a little, no matter what, ancient times are not as convenient as modern times, the difference between heaven and earth, any person lives the luxurious life of an ancient big landlord.

This is still the capital, just a winter bamboo shoot, the cost is more than one or two silver, it is unimaginable in the future, but meat is relatively simple to obtain, of course, why don't the wealthy eat meat!

Since it is a rare vegetable, Xu Hao wanted his daughter to eat it, so he asked, "What is ready in the kitchen?" Bring me a bowl. ”

The cook said, "There is fresh braised crucian carp, do you want it?" ”

"Cheng, add me another big bowl of rice." Xu Hao seems to have a big appetite today.

Yun Su and Yun Ning saw that their father was in a good mood, and they didn't want to leave, so they couldn't help but have a happy face, and they didn't know that their father was here for Qiu Ping. After all, it was the child of the family, and Xu Hao remembered it in his heart last night, so he came to take a look.

At the same time, Mu Fu was ordered to see Mu Xi and said: "Congratulations to the eldest brother for being promoted and making a fortune, now he is a big man, and our brothers are out of sight." I want you to treat your little brother very well in the past. Unlike others, now the eldest brother must not forget the younger brother, I can carry one or two, even if I am willing to carry a whip and stirrup. ”

Mu Xi smiled: "Your brother is here to make fun of people again, I just received the grace of the lord to recommend the military position, relying on the Mu family to manage some internal affairs, I was not exposed to the guns and arrows, and the military department was promoted to an official position." When outsiders look at me and think it is glorious, do they not know that I am afraid in my heart, and tremble and fear that I am not able to do it. As for your brother, he doesn't bother to come out. If you are willing to come out, are you afraid that the master will not be perfected? We are brothers who grew up together, I never forget, especially my brother, don't you still know my heart? Brothers are not forgetful people. ”

"The eldest brother is worried about the younger brother, and I am happy in my heart." Mu Fu said with a smile: "I hope that my brother will be promoted and return to Beijing as soon as possible, even if you don't invite us, we will also make trouble with your yamen, is it possible that my brother will turn his face and drive us away?" ”

"Haha!" Mu Xi laughed. asked someone to make a table of wine and dinner, and the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

Mu Fu toasted a glass of wine and said, "Now that my brother has been promoted to a thousand households, it is time to make a family decision." I can't go to work. Isn't it a joke that there is no Madame? ”

Mu Fu said distressedly: "How can it be so easy, who can afford our background from a better family?" Mrs. must be everyone's lady, otherwise she will be ridiculed even more. Rather lack than excess. ”

"You don't have to be a famous lady." Mu Fu poured a glass of wine, "Brother do you remember the Qiu Ping you saw before?" is Miss Xu Funing's girl, she was very beautiful when she was a child. is very pleasing at a young age, and now she has become a beauty. The day before yesterday, when you went back to visit the house, Mrs. remembered that you had not yet married, and it happened that she saw Miss Qiuping in Xu's Mansion yesterday, and she said to Mrs. Xu that she would give Qiuping to you. The Xu family is also willing, but I am afraid that you are now a thousand households, and you are unwilling to ask for the girls of the Xu Mansion. ”

"And that matter?" Mu Xi was a little moved, and hurriedly asked, "You go on carefully." ”

Mu Fu observed his reaction and said with a smile: "So Mrs. is worried that if you say it to you in person, you can't push it back." Our former eldest lady also said that this marriage is not something that can be forced, it is best to have consensual feelings with each other, and we must ask to understand. It's not too much for me to ask you, okay or no? I promise that no one else knows, after all, once it is not successful, my brother will be a master, I am afraid that Qiuping will not be able to get over there. Brother, please think about it, it doesn't matter if it works or not, you don't have to hinder the face of the old lady, to tell you the truth, I'll go back and make a difference. ”

"Oops!" Mu Xi stood up excitedly and said, "What are you talking about?" Do I dare to be arrogant as a military attaché? I am a descendant of the Mu family, not to mention that fame is a reward from the master, even if my life is the Mu family, how decent is it for the old lady to reward the sister of the Xu Mansion to me? It's just that I am not allowed to marry for the rest of my life, and we don't dare to complain about half a word. I didn't say it, I bother you to go back and show the old lady, saying that Mu Xi is very willing, but I am afraid of insulting Miss Qiuping, if I am willing, then how to hire, what kind of dowry to use, all obey the instructions of my wife. Good brother, you must be more earnest for me when you go back. ”

Mu Fu was envious and happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are refreshing, unlike some people who are noble, come back and pretend to be hypocritical, and say something against your will, which is disgusting, but you don't change your old temper." After this incident, my brother will never forget our old brothers in the future. ”

Mu Xi smiled: "It seems that you suspect that I am lying, haha, you can believe it now, right?" ”

"Believe, believe." Mu Fu pulled him to sit down, "Your brother is righteous enough, since you want to marry Qiu Ping, brother, I want to help you think of a perfect way." It's not that I'm talking about frustration, even if Qiu Ping is a girl in the Guogong Mansion, she is still a girl, and we are not more confident than the Yang cabinet. As the saying goes, heroes are not afraid of low backgrounds, but nowadays people look down on people one by one, especially in the officialdom, everyone will ask you everywhere about your origin, if you find out that you are married to a serious lady, of course you will say the icing on the cake; But when I heard that it was a girl, it was certain that some people would recite the scriptures with crooked mouths, and some people would follow and double the waste. ”

This remark hit the nail on the head, a wealthy family like Mu Xi was born, because of his martial arts, people in the officialdom would not say anything, but it was different when he heard that his wife was a maid, and at first glance, he knew that he was a little girl with a girl, what unpleasant words couldn't be transmitted? For example, the maid was tired of being played by the master or the young master, and she was pregnant and sent out, and became a pick-up man. (To be continued......) R1292
