The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 470 Push Her

After Su Yunduo's Jiji ceremony was postponed for two days, the mansion began to prepare for the ceremony of Laba.

The etiquette of Laba is not complicated to say, it is just Laba porridge plus a few snacks, but it takes a lot of effort to do it well and make people happy.

Since it is the Laba Festival, the most important thing is naturally Laba porridge.

Whether the ingredients of Laba porridge are properly arranged and rich, and whether the cooking time and heat are at home are quite critical.

Mrs. Lu had made it clear to Ning in advance that she would be the shopkeeper this year, and Ning made bold arrangements.

Ning's naturally wants to bring Su Yunduo together, so this year's Laba porridge in Su's second room is extremely rich.

After selecting the ingredients needed for Laba, Su Yunduo asked the cook to soak beans, peanuts and other ingredients that are not easy to boil in water on the sixth day of the first day, and start cooking in shifts at night on the seventh day.

When the eighth day of the lunar new year is cheaper, the fragrant Laba porridge is just freshly baked.

In addition to the family eating to their heart's content, the Laba porridge packed in earthen jars and refined dim sum are sent to the houses of relatives and friends one by one.

This year's Laba porridge in Su's second room, because of Su Yunduo's ingenuity, has been well received by relatives and friends, and they have asked Mrs. Lu about the ingredients and cooking method of this Laba porridge, which made Mrs. Lu happy all day. muzzle.

Originally, Mrs. Lu was going to Xishan Temple to listen to Buddhist scriptures on Laba Day, but unexpectedly, it snowed heavily in the afternoon on the seventh day of the lunar new year. To be on the safe side, she had to postpone the date of listening to Buddhist scriptures. After the snow has melted a bit, I will go to Xishan Temple to worship Buddha.

After the Laba Festival, the account books of Zhuangzi and shops from all over the place were handed over to the mansion.

At present, Su Yunduo can be regarded as a person with small assets. Although there are only three Zhuangzi at present, even though Zhuangzi has only been handed over to her not long ago, all three Zhuangzi still sent her the account books of the year.

Checking the accounts is not a difficult task for Su Yunduo, not to mention that the heads of the three Zhuangzi are all clear-headed people. It only took Yun Duo half a day to sort out the account books of the three Zhuangzi.

Ning's side is confused. Although she can read and write but has no experience in housekeeping alone, she has no chance to touch this kind of account books. The old lady Lu suddenly handed over all the account books of the farm and shop in the mansion to her. In his hands, he was in a hurry for a while.

Fortunately, there is an accountant in the mansion, and Su Yunduo is there to assist. After being in a coma for two days, Ning finally got some clues and slowly entered the state, but still very dependent on Su Yunduo.

At this time, Su Yunduo had the idea of ​​going to live in the western suburb of Zhuangzi because of a piece of news that Ning Zhongping brought back.

Ning Zhongping went to the western suburbs on the day of Xiumu on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. He made an appointment with Zhang Pingan in advance. When he arrived at the Zhuangzi where the winery is located, Zhang Pingan would take him with him, and he walked over the steep cliff on the thick snow. Check out the kiwifruit orchard.

After coming out of the kiwi forest, he went to the Zhuangzi bestowed by the Holy Lord to Su Yunduo, and took a comfortable hot spring bath in the Zhuangzi to get rid of the cold, and then he rode back to the city.

Su Yunduo was completely aroused by Ning Zhongping's desire to go to the hot springs, and happened to have something to discuss with Peng Zhuangtou and Zhang Ping'an, so the old lady Mo Lu agreed to take Su Yunduo to Xishan to worship the Buddha, and took this opportunity to go there Stay in that hot spring villa for two days.

Ning, who just had some experience in handling account books, was ruthlessly thrown away by Su Yunduo. Not only could she not go to the hot springs with her, but she had to face one account after another alone, and she also had to prepare for greetings with relatives and friends. The annual gift sent to him was naturally angry, annoyed and helpless.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lu was still very sympathetic to Ning's difficulties, and specially left Nanny Wu to Ning to help her prepare for the annual ceremony. Otherwise, Ning would really have the urge to hold Mrs. Lu and cry.

"Is it too much for us to leave your mother in the mansion like this?" Mrs. Lu turned her head to look at the bitter Ning family, a little bit unbearable.

Su Yunduo was actually a little worried about whether Ning could take on this important task, but if they were in the mansion, Ning would always be dependent, and her progress was really limited, so Su Yunduo could only be ruthless and give her a hard push.

Mrs. Lu is getting old, and her body was injured again when she was young. Although she is well maintained, her body is still weak after all, so she can't be too exhausted, and she can't continue to work hard.

Su Yunduo wanted to help Ning Shi more, but how long can she help? !

Although there is no date yet, Su Yunduo knew in his heart that no matter how much this marriage could be delayed, it would not last until next winter month.

That is to say, she can only help the Ning family for more than half a year. When she gets married and goes out, it will be seven, eight or even ten years before Su Zexuan grows up and gets married. Let the old lady worry about it for another ten or eight years, it is only reasonable to let the Ning family stand up as the second wife of the Su residence.

Rather than waiting for Mrs. Ning to clean up for her when Ning makes a mistake in a hurry, it is better to force Ning now. Even if something goes wrong, they will go back two days later and Su Yunduo is confident that she will be able to fix the loophole. of.

The old lady Lu knew what Su Yunduo meant, and she was very pleased to have such a smart granddaughter, but she was also curious about how Su Chengzhi and the Ning family could raise a daughter as beautiful as Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo carefully guarded the old lady Lu and entered the Xishan Temple. The old lady Lu did not intend to keep Su Yunduo by her side.

She came from a young girl, and she knew that girls of Su Yunduo's age were most impatient to listen to the Buddha's chanting, so she asked her to take her maid and woman to the back mountain to see the red plums.

However, Su Yunduo first followed Mrs. Lu to listen to a Buddhist scripture, and then accompanied Mrs. Lu to eat the vegetarian food in the temple, and waited for Mrs. Lu to rest in the quiet room behind the temple. Ziyue, who has returned from her injury, goes to the back mountain to see Hongmei.

The red plums on the back mountain of Xishan Temple are famous in the capital, and there happened to be a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and now the red plum trees look extraordinarily beautiful against the backdrop of the snow.

"It would be great if I could break a few branches back." Zisu looked at Hongmei very enviously.

Su Yunduo smiled and said: "If everyone thinks the same as you, how can people appreciate the beauty of the white snow and red plums?"

Zisu smiled a little embarrassedly, and there are not a few people who come here to appreciate plum blossoms. If everyone folded two branches, the plum blossoms here would have been folded long ago, and there are still so beautiful plum blossoms. landscape?
Taking the two maids around the Merlin, Su Yunduo didn't plan to stay in the Merlin for a long time, guessing that Mrs. Lu was about to wake up, so she was going to go back to the quiet room where Mrs. Lu was resting.

In the afternoon there was still a sutra to be heard. After listening to this sutra, they would no longer stay in the temple, but went directly to the hot spring villa not far from here for a short stay.

The three master and servant just turned their heads and were about to go back, but they heard a surprised voice coming from the front: "Isn't this Miss Su? I'm going back now, why don't you watch it for a while?"

Su Yunduo looked up, only to see the prime minister's wife, Mrs. Wu, and the third girl, Lin Yahan, coming towards Meilin.

I didn't see the mother and daughter when I was eating vegetarian food at noon. They must have arrived late and came to enjoy the plum blossoms first.

Although this Mrs. Wu is a bit snobbish, and even though she hates the concubine Lin Yaru from the prime minister's mansion, Su Yunduo has a good impression of Lin Yahan, so she went forward to pay her respects.

"There is still about half an hour before the Buddhist ceremony in the afternoon, why don't Miss Su appreciate the plum blossoms for a while?" Mrs. Wu warmly held Su Yunduo's hand and invited.

Lin Yahan gave Su Yunduo an apologetic look, and Su Yunduo gave Lin Yahan a faint smile, and then smiled gently at Mrs. Wu: "We have been out for half an hour, grandma should wake up."

Hearing Su Yunduo mentioned Mrs. Lu, Wu Shi regretted letting Su Yunduo go, Lin Yahan was obviously relieved.

Lin Yahan is also really helpless about her mother's over-enthusiasm towards people who feel useful to her family.

When the three masters and servants were far away from Wu Shi and Lin Yahan, Zisu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "The Prime Minister's wife is really too enthusiastic, I was really afraid that the servant girl would be dragged by her to appreciate it for half an hour. May!"

Su Yunduo smiled and said: "It can be seen that you are not an elegant person!"

Ziyue, who had always seldom talked, suddenly said: "No matter how beautiful the red plum is, it's just like that when you look at it."

Su Yunduo paused slightly, then pointed to Zisu and Ziyue with a smile, then put his finger on his nose, and said solemnly: "It seems that the three of us are really not elegant!"

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells on the mountain road in the backyard of Xishan Temple.
