Chapter 87
What Ms. An said earlier is correct, the blood is very strong, this child, and the old man who has passed away, have five or six points of resemblance in eyebrows and eyes.

Those lips are almost exactly the same as his little aunt.

This is my own child.

But as soon as she grabbed the child's hand, Mrs. Rong's tears fell even more fiercely. A little boy of this age has calluses on his hands, which is not the place where calluses should be left when practicing calligraphy, let alone martial arts.

That's what's left of the work.

There were several chilblains on these small hands.

Old Madam Rong's heart ached like a needle prick. In the mansion, even the boy who raised the horses didn't have hands that were so cold.

"My child, you, you have suffered." She was choked up several times and couldn't speak. Mrs. Rong didn't hold her in her arms and cry bitterly because she was afraid of frightening the child.

Zhao Chengdao: "I have a grandma and a sister, so it's not bitter at all."

Mrs. Rong nodded, forced a smile while weeping, and said softly, "Good boy."

Seeing that the old lady was too excited, An Xu suggested: "Why don't you go to the house and wash your face, calm down, and then speak slowly."

Mrs. Rong stood up and saluted An Xu, "Miss An, it's really thanks to you that I was able to find my grandson earlier."

An Xu hurriedly stopped her, saying: "I just can't bear to see someone taking Cheng'er's place to deceive people, and I have never dealt with Lu Ningxin."

Mrs. Rong insisted: "Then you deserve a gift from me."

----

Zhao Cheng leaned against his grandma and said blankly, "Am I really a child of that old lady's family? Grandma, I don't want to go."

Granny Zhao looked at the child raised by herself, and said with a smile: "There are your parents, your biological brothers and sisters over there, why don't you go see them. I am still your grandma, and Xu'er is still your sister. Come back whenever you want."

The grace of childbearing is indeed great, Zhao Cheng nodded: "Then I will only go for a few days, and come back when I see them."

Granny Zhao nodded with a smile: "We are now sensible. Grandma is with your sister, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zhao Cheng hummed.

In the room, Mrs. Rong washed her face and rearranged her appearance, and she couldn't help saying bitterly: "If it wasn't for Cheng'er and Mingxian at home, I would definitely let the father-in-law divorce that stupid woman. It's so stupid. Unheard of."

Mother Qiu also talked, looked out, and said gratifiedly: "Our eldest young master is really promising. Under such a difficult environment, he was able to get the honor of being a scholar at a young age. Now you don't have to worry about your successors." There's no one left."

Back then, the fake young master was deliberately raised by the government officials, knew everything about eating, drinking and having fun, but he didn't know anything about business. At that time, the old lady was worried.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Rong also showed a sincere smile.

Mother Qiu said again: "It's just the old lady, we want to take the eldest young master back, and we have to be on guard against the madam, she is now wholeheartedly trying to ask the second young master to be the crown prince. The eldest young master was not raised by her. When we go back, let her squat in the Buddhist hall, I'm afraid she will hate the young master."

"She dares!" The old lady said the words with a feeling of gnashing her teeth.

It's just that she knew in her heart that that stupid woman might really hate Cheng'er.Even though her stupidity caused Cheng'er to wander outside for so many years, but with her stupid and selfish temperament, she will definitely not reflect on her mistakes, and I'm afraid she will resent why Cheng'er survived.

Mrs. Rong was silent for a while, and said: "How about this, send a letter to my son first, and we will take the child back next year."

Anyway, teach him some etiquette first, so that he can get used to the life of wealth and honor, so as not to belittle the child with these stupid women from time to time.

The position of son must be given to Cheng'er now, this is what the stupid son and the stupid woman owed to the child.

If it hadn't happened, the old lady would not have persisted seeing that her eldest grandson couldn't stand up, but now, she must persist.

Ming Xian has always been taught by that stupid woman, I'm afraid his temperament is not as good as Cheng'er who grew up outside, it's better to be defeated by Cheng'er than to be defeated by him.

Besides, looking at the child, she just doesn't understand the various etiquettes of a noble family, and she is very good in terms of temperament.

It can be seen that no amount of money can be piled up with a good heart.Poverty is not necessarily linked to excessive greed.

Mrs. Rong washed her face and tidied herself up. After coming out again, she was able to talk to Granny Zhao calmly, but the questions were all about Zhao Cheng's childhood.

It's a good thing that An Xu is cooking under the kitchen, Zhao Cheng can find his biological family, let's celebrate.

She went to the village to buy a young rooster, and stewed a pot of golden and fragrant chicken and mushroom soup with the mushrooms she picked up together when picking fruits in the mountains in late autumn.

Two more dishes were fried, and the staple food was omelet rice.

After sitting at the dining table, as soon as the food entered the mouth, Mrs. Rong looked at An Xu and said sincerely: "Xu'er, you have learned cooking skills before?"

An Chong School was on vacation on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and he was at home. Hearing this, he quickly said, "Madam Rong is overrated, but my sister really put a lot of thought into cooking."

An Xu glanced at her younger brother, reading is really useful, and that's all she can do by herself.

Mrs. Rong was a little surprised, this girl learned to make such a delicious meal by herself?Ingenious and ingenious, this is rare.

If I learn from the chef, I don't know what I can achieve in cooking.

Mrs. Rong has seen a lot of strange people and strange things. Knowing the same recipe, different people have different tastes when making it. Some people really have the talent in this area, and they have learned many times than others when they make it casually. better.

So she didn't doubt it.

"When we met for the first time, this servant girl thought that Miss An was good-looking, with black hair and bright eyes, and her lips were bright red without using rouge. After eating this meal today, I realized that it was all because of your good cooking skills." It came out." Mother Qiu also did as the Romans did, and sat at the dining table to eat with the old lady, but she was more used to taking care of the old lady's food and drink first.

An Xu smiled and said, "Mommy, I'm overwhelmed."

In fact, she felt that An Da Ni's health was poor. After earning money, she bought a lot of longan, red dates, sesame seeds and other foods that were better for women's health.

If it wasn't for her consciously making up for it, she wouldn't know when she would be able to have her period.

After lunch, Mrs. Rong took Zhao Cheng and Granny Zhao to chat again. With the help of Feng Nian at home, An Xu didn't have to wash the pots and dishes, so he had free time to make snacks.

Egg yolk crisps, crispy rice crackers, and An Xu serve the same ones as soon as they are ready, and ask the family to eat them.

Just about to fry some meat floss and make some seaweed with seaweed, Zheng Changsheng came in with a bamboo basket. He was a little surprised when he saw two old ladies sitting in the yard warming up in the sun and gossiping, but he still politely said: He nodded and walked over.

"What are you here to deliver?" An Xu and Zheng Changsheng were already very familiar, and seeing him carrying a big basket, he asked directly.

Zheng Changsheng said: "My mother made rice cake candy, asked me to bring some for you to try."

The basket cloth was lifted, and inside were rice flower candies with a slightly golden color cut into small cubes.

There is no large-scale puffed food at this time. The raw material of rice cracker candy is rice that has been steamed and dried in the shade. If the condition is good, it is fried.

Therefore, this kind of puffing is very limited, and the rice cracker candy made in this way is not as fluffy as the fried rice crackers from the stove, but the burnt aroma of the rice is very flavorful.

An Xu ate a piece, nodded and said, "It's delicious."

Zheng Changsheng was a little nervous all the time, but he couldn't help but look at people with a good eye. Hearing this, he relaxed and smiled: "My mother is worried that you won't be used to her ordinary skills."

An Xu said again: "It's delicious, thank you mother for me."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's not rush to catch up with the New Year's Fair market, we will talk about it after the Chinese New Year is over."

Zheng Changsheng said: "Okay, it's all up to you. But I have an idea. After the second day of junior high school, I want to go north to Nanfeng Mansion. Nanfeng Mansion is rich in fireworks, which are very popular before the Lantern Festival. of."

An Xu was also very interested when she heard it. She didn't know much about fireworks, and she didn't know what fireworks and firecrackers were like in history, but since Daming already had such things, she wanted to see them too.

"I'll go with you then," she said.

Zheng Changsheng felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't dare to have any thoughts about her beyond the normal range, but the man was unmarried and the woman was not married, and when they went out alone, they were afraid that others would spread gossip.

It's just that he hasn't thought of a way to prevent gossip and allow An Xu to go together. Zong Che, who was reading a book not far away, said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the two of you to go."

An Xu turned his head when he heard the sound, saw someone not far away, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you in the house? When did you come out?"

Zong Che came out just now. Although she didn't like their engagement, he still wanted to protect her reputation.

"I'll go with you," Zong Che said without answering An Xu's question.

An Xu asked, "What are you going to do? Isn't there a rural exam in May and June after Chinese New Year? You should study hard at home."

Zong Che said: "Just treat it as a study tour."

Zheng Changsheng glanced at Zong Che, and didn't like this man's attitude towards An Xu, so he just said to An Xu: "Nanfeng Mansion is five or six hundred miles away, and it will be very busy. If you really want to go, let's take two more personal."

"Okay," An Xu agreed with a smile.

Zong Che rarely spoke again. After Zheng Changsheng finished speaking and left, he put away his book and walked over. He looked at the thin strips of lean meat in the basin, and asked, "What is this for?" ?”

An Xu said, "Meat floss." Glancing at him, he said, "There are always errands at home to distract you. Do you want to go to the government school to study after the Chinese New Year?"

I heard that the township examination has to be locked in the examination number for eight or nine days. Since it is necessary to take the examination, if you suffer, you must have full confidence before taking the examination.

Zong Che had to read idle books after studying for a while, and listened to what was going on at home, which made An Xu a little worried about his exam in half a year.

Zong Che said: "No need, I know it well."

Then you can count.

An Xu didn't say much.

"You said you don't want to count on my marriage contract, do you like Zheng Changsheng?" He stood aside, handing An Xu something from time to time, and suddenly asked this question.

An Xu glanced at him in surprise, "Since when did the two of us have an engagement?"

Seeing that she really didn't take what happened that day seriously, Zong Che couldn't help feeling depressed for a while.

"Isn't that an expedient statement?" An Xu said, "And why do I like Zheng Changsheng again? Which of your eyes can tell?"

Zong Che was depressed for a while again. He was always thoughtful, but he could always be overwhelmed by her words, and he felt that this woman had a feeling of looking down on him.

Not the kind of looking down from above, but a kind of looking down that I am older than you and have more people than you have ever seen.

With her, she seemed like a child who hadn't grown up. In the time when she took care of him meticulously, she also had a feeling of pampering. In this way, she can be treated by an adult man who can crush her.

Suddenly realizing how awkward she was with him, Zong Che became even more frustrated.

But he didn't want to appear angry, otherwise she would associate herself with words like ignorance and childishness.

Just because she is a ghost, can she not reflect on her own more childish behavior?
Zong Che didn't speak for a while, An Xu got busy, and forgot that there was such a person standing beside him, and when he turned around to take the wooden shovel, he stepped on his foot.

Zong Che's expression didn't change, he just stretched out his long arms to embrace her, then helped her to the side, and asked, "What do you want?"

An Xu: "Wooden shovel."

The two old ladies over there who saw this scene couldn't help but smile.

"Sister," An Chong ran in from the door at this time, saw Zong Che and his sister getting a little close, frowned, walked over and said: "Sister, I met my uncle just now, she said that Zheng Huai is married , ask our family to follow the ceremony too. Shall we follow?"

"If Uncle and the others agree, let's also accept one. How much?" An Xu asked, going to the house to get him money.

"Five cents, I have it." An Chong immediately said to Zong Che: "Brother Che, the Zheng family is very lively, don't you want to play?"

Zong Che raised his eyelids and said, "Go."

Then as soon as he walked out of the far door, he stopped and asked: "If you have anything to say, go ahead."

An Chong did have something to say, but he was still startled by Zong Che's ability to read people's hearts without making a show of his face. You must know that he was very natural just now.

Zong Che lightly hooked the corner of his lower lip.

An Chong: This popular person is a good hand. If my sister really marries him in the future, will she be angry at everything?

"Do you like my sister and want to marry her?" An Chong glanced at the door of the house, and the voices of the two old ladies could be heard from time to time. He didn't worry that his sister could hear her, so he asked.

Zong Che raised his eyebrows, "Yes, do you have a question?"

An Chong said: "My sister likes you, I know it, so I won't object, but I hope you can pay attention to your behavior, you have been living in my house, don't let people gossiping about my sister in the future."

Zong Che thought to himself, I didn't pay attention to my manners, I didn't even hold her hand, when she spoke annoyed, he always persuaded himself.

"Got it." But knowing that there was no need to say anything more to An Chong, Zong Che turned around and was about to go home.

An Chong hurriedly said: "You said you were going to Zheng's house to play, but now you are going back, how can you tell my sister?"

Zong Che: ----
The Zheng family married a daughter-in-law very decently, and when the new year was approaching, almost half of the people in the village came.

An Chong and Zong Che walked into the yard, greeted people, and then went to the place where the gift money was kept to follow the gift.

Zong Che nodded to a few people who came to talk to him, and said to An Chong, "I'll go back first."

An Chong's gift money has not just been placed on the table, and I feel a little tired after hearing this, so you really just came here for a walk.

When Zheng Huainiang saw that Zong Che was also here, Bel had the face to bring some melon seed candies and asked him to eat.

Zong Che thanked him, and reached out to take two. The candy was in the shape of a cube wrapped in oiled paper. Sorghum maltose, one of the most common candies in shops nowadays.

Nodding his head, Zong Che turned around and left.

At this time, a girl with a flushed face was suddenly pushed out from among the girls standing together, and staggered towards Zong Che.

Zong Che didn't seem to notice, and walked out without pausing.

But the girl was too late to stop her momentum, and no one stopped her in time, so she threw herself into the mud all of a sudden, she was extremely embarrassed, and tears filled her eyes in an instant.

The girl was Jin Yu's cousin who came to give her a wedding. The Zheng family members were worried that the Jin family would not be able to get off their faces, so they rushed to help the girl. Several girls.

Among those girls, there were quite a few from the Zheng family, and they were all laughing and joking after being scolded.

Seeing this scene, An Chong suppressed a smile, stood by the side eating candy and watched for a while before leaving.

----

An Xu took out the golden and fluffy meat floss, tore some seaweed and put them into the sugarcane mixing bucket, and stirred them a few times with his feet. The furry in the circle is very beautiful.

Mrs. Rong took Zhao Cheng by the hand and watched from the sidelines, but the more she looked, the more confused she became. There are chefs in Duke Qi's mansion who are good at making meat floss, but it's enough to fry it well. Why does this girl have to whip it a few times?
"Xu'er, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Rong couldn't help asking.

An Xu took a small bowl, took out a bowl and handed it to Zhao Cheng, "It tastes better this way, you should try it too."

Then she took out all the meat floss, packed it in a jar, carried it under the kitchen and placed it on the chopping board. Granny Zhao came over and said, "Didn't you just say that you need to steam it? The rice is already washed, let's steam it, and I will heat the pot."

Mother Qiu hurriedly said: "I'll come, old lady, please rest."

An Xu saw that the rice had been washed and water had been added and placed in a wooden barrel, and it only needed to be put into the pot, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Now that I have three treasures at home, I don't need to do anything. "

Mrs. Rong was always reluctant to let go of her grandson who had just been found, she was standing with the child at the mixing bucket eating meat floss, and interjected, "Come on tomorrow, I will send a few more servants to help you, so that you can really You don’t need to do anything, just move your mouth and wait for the New Year.”

An Xu laughed.
