Chapter 229

The Hu family had heard that the old man had accepted a female apprentice, but they didn't expect to be so young. They were all curious about what was so special about her.

Just because Hu Tao was there, they didn't dare to hum, and they were all avoided.

The housekeeper arranged the courtyard, but Hu Tao actually took them there in person, so one can imagine how much he attached importance to it.

This can't help but make the Hu family even more curious and unconvinced. This air is too big, and they don't even say a word, so they just leave?
Hu Tao is here, dare to be angry but dare not speak!

Up to now, the Hu family has not separated, several families live together, and the house is messy no matter how big it is, Xi'er sees all of these.

She didn't want to say anything more, after all, she and Ji Kang were just passers-by, and they only came to the capital occasionally. If there is a time to deal with each other in the future, let's talk about that time.

They arrived in Beijing on the third day of April, and lived in the Mingya Garden of the Hu family.

After Hu Tao arranged everything, he went back to rest. Xi'er, Ji Kang, and Baoyue packed up the salutes, and then someone brought food.

With no outsiders, Xi'er asked Bao Yue to eat with the two of them.

The three of them looked at the food on the table, and their faces were all ugly.

"Is this trying to show us off? Or do you think we are from the temple, four stir-fried vegetables? Do you really think we are bumpkins from a small place?"

Baoyue picked up the chopsticks and picked them up towards the dishes, "Let the servants test the poison on the young lady and uncle first?"

Xi'er chuckled, "Baoyue, pour this dish away, I'm afraid these servants will be instigated to spit in it, help me, let's go to the small kitchen?"

"Ai!"

In the small kitchen, Baoyue stared wide-eyed, looking at the young lady in disbelief, as if she was juggling, charcoal, firewood, pots and pans, the empty kitchen was all alive in an instant.

"Light up the fire, what are you doing in a daze?"

Baoyue quickly lit the fire, and within a short while, three bowls of instant noodles were cooked, and finally Xi'er cut a dozen slices of beef and put them on top.

The three of them ate beef instant noodles, it was so delicious, the servants outside the wall who wanted to watch a show swallowed the smell.

The next day, Hu Tao personally came over and posted the registration to Ji Kang, "Review your books at home, and you can go around the house when you are bored. Don't pay attention to them, just some juniors. On the morning of the [-]th day, I will personally send you to the examination room .”

"Yes, Brother Hu."

In this way, the three of them lived in Hu's mansion. Xi'er had collected rare and rare books for him over the years, so it didn't matter whether he went to the library in the capital. Ji Kang read at home every day, and when he was tired, he would fight.

Xi'er is now playing the role of a good wife, taking care of his daily life with three meals a day.

She asked Baoyue to block the courtyard door so that those people would not come over and peek inside if they had nothing to do. The door would not be opened unless Hu Tao came.

Everyone in the Hu family was very strange. I didn't see them going out, and the head of the family didn't use the kitchen to deliver food, so what did they eat?
It's really strange, if it wasn't for someone who is in charge, they would really want to go over and ask.

There is really someone who is not afraid of anything, and that master is Hu Tao's wife, Hu Jiashi. She is also over 50 years old, but she is well maintained and looks very young.

It's okay to raise flowers and plants at home. She didn't take this matter to heart at first, but under the instigation of caring people, after Hu Tao came to court, she took the people to Mingya Garden.

Hearing the knock on the door, Baoyue opened the door and saw a one year old woman in splendid attire, she saluted immediately.

"Hello old lady."

"Well, where's your lady?"

"In the house."

Xi'er came out of the house after hearing this, she didn't know Hu Jiashi, "You are?"

"Oh, I am the old lady of the Hu family's big house"

"It turned out to be the old sister, please come to the room."

"You call me sister?"

Jia Shi was taken aback, and looked at Xi'er again, unable to believe that such words came from a little girl's mouth.

"Isn't that right? My name is Hu Tao's old brother. Didn't I call your old sister? Didn't he tell you?"

"He was busy as soon as he came back, and we didn't have time to talk."

"Oh, you may not be in the front hall that day. Let me introduce myself. I am Mr. Hu Yitian's apprentice. According to my seniority, I call him brother. In fact, I should call you sister-in-law, but I think my sister is kind. You you do not mind?"

"Uh, do whatever you want."

Mrs. Jia turned around and glared at the person who encouraged her, almost making a joke.

"Are you sitting in the house? Or in the yard?"

"Yard Bar"

Xi'er winks at Baoyue, and Baoyue has gone to the East Wing to invite Ji Kang. The host is here, and the guests will naturally meet.

Ji Kang came out and saluted the old lady, "Old lady, Ji Kang is being polite."

"I heard you are husband and wife?"

"Yes"

The old lady then asked about the two people's plan to come to the capital, and then asked about food and accommodation.

"I don't know how you two are used to eating and living in my Hu's house?"

"Old Madam Lao is concerned, the house is very good, we brought the food from home, so we don't bother your house's kitchen."

"You're welcome, we are all a family, even if you come here, treat this place as your own home, don't be bored in the yard all the time, come out for a walk if you have nothing to do."

"My husband still has a few days to take the exam, so it's better to study hard."

"Yes, if you need anything, someone can tell me."

"Ok."

The identity of the old lady is here, and she asked some questions about the scene, and it was over, and she was about to get up and leave.

The Hu family who came with her quit, and they haven't achieved their goal yet.

"What are you eating here?"

"We brought a lot of things, including instant noodles, dried noodles, dried meat, dried vegetables, daily necessities, rice, oil and salt. We almost brought all of them. We didn't want to come to Hu's residence to bother us, but it was Brother Hu who dragged us here."

"Who are you lying to, our Hu family, even the dignitaries in the capital want to curry favor with you, you come from a small place, but you actually say you don't want to come, and you are not afraid of slipping your tongue when you speak."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Hu when he comes back."

"Hmph" Of course they didn't dare to ask, it's fine if they don't get scolded.

The old lady felt embarrassed, so she hurriedly reprimanded the Hu family, "Miss Xi'er, don't listen to them, you live here well, after your husband's exam is over, I will set up a banquet for you, let's talk about it."

"Okay, old lady."

Just as the old lady was about to leave, a little girl pulled her.

"Grandma, you can't go."

"Why?"

"If they are of the same generation as grandfather, shouldn't there be a greeting gift when they meet younger generations like us?"

The old lady looked up at Xi'er in a perplexed way, "This?"

Xi'er knew that the Hu family was here to find fault, so she looked at the little girl.

"Even if you know that I am of the same generation as your grandfather, have you ever saluted me? Have you ever called me aunt? I call your grandfather brother."

"At that time, grandfather never let us recognize you."

"If you don't shout, you don't admit it, so why should I ask for a gift?"

"You, well, great-aunt."

"Haha, dear, I think the Hu family is a century-old medical family, so they shouldn't be short of money, right?"

All the Hu family raised their heads arrogantly, Xi'er smiled.

"Well, it's almost noon, and since they're all here, why don't you try the instant noodles I cooked myself, and treat it as a gift from me, how about it?"

"What are instant noodles?"

"You'll know it after you eat it. It's a hundred times better than the four vegetarian dishes the kitchen gave us the day before."

When Xi'er said this, a woman in the crowd blushed.

Xi'er asked Ji Kang and Bao Yue to carry the table and chairs from the house, and she went to the kitchen. Everyone was curious, did they think a bowl of noodles was as exaggerated as she said?
So they all found a seat and waited. The biggest advantage of instant noodles is that they are fast, and then they are delicious.
