Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 14
"Grandpa, you're too biased!" Xiangxiang said angrily, "I'm your biological granddaughter, you don't protect me, why are you stepping on me with outsiders? That bitch You don't even know who's pregnant in your belly, yet you still praise her? Who the hell is she, you're so partial?"

"This is not something you should know," Uncle Yun's heart suddenly snapped, and he immediately scolded with a cold face, "You just need to do your own work well, and don't ask too much about anything else. I can tell you that when Wei Er Girl, be more polite, otherwise don't blame me for driving you back to your hometown."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the tightly closed window behind him with complicated eyes.

Xiangxiang stomped her feet and slammed the spring pancake in her hand.That woman is obviously a woman with no morals, so why does grandpa prefer to speak to each other?But if she just said one more word, grandpa would reprimand her. This is really unreasonable!
Uncle Yun didn't care how angry his granddaughter was, and went directly to the storeroom, picked out a piece of blue muslin cloth, added a silver hairpin with a hibiscus flower head, added two taels of silver at the end, and sent them to the kitchen together.

Ding Wei didn't expect to get so many rewards for the first time making food, the hairpin and silver are fine, the piece of muslin is too much for her, it just happens to make some small clothes and quilts for the unborn child, the color is dirt-resistant and soft .

Uncle Yun was also happy to see her thanking her with a smile, and went out after a few instructions.

Ding Wei thought for a while, then took twenty copper coins from her purse and distributed them to Xiaoqing.After all, she also contributed just now, so she deserves some benefits.

Sure enough, Xiaoqing couldn't refuse, so she took the copper coins, and finally rushed to do the work like a chicken blood, and soon the two of them prepared all the ingredients for dinner.

Ding Wei boiled a bowl of milky crucian carp tofu soup, steamed a basket of gold and silver steamed buns, and fried two vegetarian dishes.Finally, he bid farewell to Uncle Yun and Xiaoqing and went back to his home.

When passing by the outer courtyard, she faintly smelled the aroma of food in the courtyard next to her, and only then did she realize that the place where she had been busy for most of the day was dedicated to cooking food for the young master, while the rest of the courtyard's staff were working in the courtyard. Stomach problems are solved here.

I have to say that Uncle Yun really loves his grandson.Inevitably, she also became more curious about this Mr. Yun who had never met before.

Everyone in the Ding family was also worried this day, for fear that someone in the Yun family's yard would bully their daughter, and they finally hoped that the sun would soon set.Ding Wei finally came back with the suitcase on her shoulders. Not only did she look very good, she also held a piece of cloth in her arms, with a delicately carved silver hairpin on her head.

Holding the two taels of silver in her hand, Mrs. Lu smiled from ear to ear, "Girl, is there so much for just one day's wages?"

Ding Wei was also very thankful that she met a good family, she nodded and smiled, "Mother, I made some dim sum today, which is very popular with the owner. So I got some extra rewards, I guess there won't be so many in the future."

The elder sister-in-law Liu touched the fabric and said happily, "My sister has met a good master."

The second sister-in-law, Li Shi, also looked at my sister-in-law enviously, and agreed, "My little sister is the apprentice of Grandma Shanshen, and her skills are naturally good. You can teach me more in the future."

"Okay, my sister-in-law wants to learn, so why don't I not teach it. It's just that the dim sum eaten by rich people is exquisitely made and expensive. It may not be worthwhile for our shop to sell." Ding Wei said sincerely, and finally said, " The store at home still sells those few styles for the time being, and I will think about some new tricks when I have free time."

Fearing that her daughter would get tired, Mrs. Lu hurriedly opened her mouth to drive the two daughter-in-laws to prepare the dinner table.The two daughters-in-law were not angry either, and went to work hand in hand with smiles on their faces.

The whole family rested after dinner, so far, Ding Wei went to work in Yun's yard every three or two days. Although she was busy, she didn't feel tired.

And the Yun family didn't know whether it was the extreme wealth or Uncle Yun's kindness. Every time Ding Wei returned home, she would get something besides wages.Most of them were needlework, and soon I saved up half a box.As for the rouge and gouache, she gave them to her two sister-in-laws. It's a pity that the two often work in the bun shop and can't rub it too much, but women love beauty, so they put it on the dressing table, and it's good to open it up and smell it occasionally.

However, Ding Wei gradually felt the burden of going to Yun's house.It's not that the Yun family is bad, but Uncle Yun treats her too well.

Whenever stewed bird's nest or boiled ginseng soup in the kitchen, Uncle Yun would give her a bowl.No matter how she refuses, the old man will insist on watching her finish drinking.

At the beginning, Ding Wei suspected that Uncle Yun had bad intentions for the child in her womb, but once Xiangxiang quarreled with her, talking about how valuable those bird's nests and ginseng were, she felt that she was being paranoid. I didn't harm a cook with precious supplements.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't bother thinking about it.

The days passed unhurriedly, and the sun in the early spring of March was getting hotter and hotter.After the snow in the mountains and villages melted away, the land gradually became greener.It was the first spring rain a few days ago, Ding Wei was pregnant and sleepy, accidentally got up late that day, and was a little anxious when rushing to Yun's house, but twisted her foot not too far away.

She originally asked Mrs. Lu to report a letter to Yun's house and ask for two days off.Unexpectedly, Uncle Yun actually sent a sedan chair to the Ding family to pick him up, which aroused everyone in the Ding family to be amazed, but even the villagers sparked a new wave of rumors.

Regarding this, Ding Wei could only force herself to believe that she cured the only child of the Yun family's anorexia, so Uncle Yun was so grateful to her that he acted so out of line.

In fact, aside from the doubt that Uncle Yun treated her too well, she really liked going to Yun's courtyard.These days, she has gotten to know everyone in the Yun family. I don't know if it's because the Yun family has a generous family style or everyone has been severely warned. No matter the servant or the manager, they are very kind to her, and they will not be unreasonable. Lift her growing belly.

Compared with the people in the village, I don't know how many times more kind.So over time, she regarded the Yun family's yard as a rare place of peace and quiet.

As the weather got warmer, the flowers and trees in Yun's courtyard gradually faded from their withered yellow color, and they glowed with tender green leaf buds and pale pink flower buds, which are very comfortable to look at from a distance.Sometimes, Ding Wei walked around after finishing her work in the kitchen, breathing in the slight fragrance of grass and trees, and her whole body seemed to become relaxed and clean.

It's just that things in this world are not as expected.Ding Wei felt that her life was getting better just now, but she didn't know that because of her frequent visits to Yun's yard, the villagers had already spread rumors to the sky.

"Sister-in-law, have you heard that the girl of Ding's family often goes in and out of Yun's yard with a big belly recently."

"Why haven't I heard of it? I've seen it with my own eyes. I've said it before, that girl from the Ding family is not a law-abiding person. This kind of woman should go to soak in a pig cage."

There were also timid women who murmured carefully, "Don't talk nonsense, you forgot that the mountain temple was chopped up last time? Besides, that girl was hired to be a cook. She is the apprentice of the mountain god's grandma. It's a good job."

"...Then, it might just be a coincidence! We didn't do anything to her, but just a few gossips, grandma Shanshen can't just hit people casually?"

"Don't be stubborn, Master Yun is a wealthy man. Ding's daughter goes to that yard to do work, and her wages are indispensable. Maybe Grandma Shanshen instructed her to go there."

This day happened to be the day when Ding Wei was going to work, and she was still on her feet, worried that Uncle Yun would send another sedan chair, so she went out early, not wanting to hear these gossips clearly.

Faced with such suspicion and slander, no one can maintain a good mood, but it is obviously even more irrational to rush out to quarrel and curse.Ding Wei was silent for a while, then changed to another path.

There are gains and losses. She wants to keep the child in her womb, and it is destined that such a situation will happen again and again today.She can't control other people's mouths, she can only comfort herself to maintain a good attitude.

Just like what Uncle Yun said that day, after two months of spring, the courtyard of the Yun family became more and more exquisite after adding flowers and trees. A few green vines climbed on the gray walls, giving off a faint sense of tranquility.

A few women happened to be carrying baskets to pick wild vegetables on the mountain, passing by the gate of the yard, they stopped and pointed when they saw Ding Wei, which seemed a little arrogant, and Ding Wei really wanted to roll her eyes.

She straightened her back, supported her slightly protruding belly with one hand, and stepped into the gate of Yun's courtyard.The more you are at such a time, the more frank you must act.If you bend down yourself, others will step on it even more.

Aunt Li, who was in charge of cooking in the large kitchen in the outer courtyard, and Xiao Fuzi, the wife who was in charge of the door, were standing together talking. Seeing Ding Wei coming in, Aunt Li squinted her eyes with a smile, and greeted, "Miss Ding, this is to go to work." Is it? You haven't come for several days!"

Before Ding Wei could speak, Xiao Fuzi ran up to him in twos and twos, grinning and yelling, "Sister Ding, Manager Lin went shopping in the city yesterday, and brought two pigs into the water by the way. Everyone is worrying, and the days are getting worse It's getting hotter, I'm afraid it will go bad after a few more days."

Ding Wei heard it funny, and replied, "Pigs are good things, clean them up first and put them away. I'll come over after preparing the food for the young master, marinate it well, and keep it delicious."

Xiao Fuzi couldn't help cheering, and shouted, "That's great, Sister Ding has made a move, and everyone is lucky again."

After hearing this, Aunt Li, who followed up, had a much stronger smile on her face, but she blamed her son, "You gluttonous boy, you always pester Miss Ding to cook and make her tired, look at you!" How to apologize?"

"Auntie, don't be polite. Everyone takes good care of me on weekdays. I should help cook some food. If Auntie loves me, she will help me in a while. When you learn it, it will be really easy for me in the future. "

"Ah, really?" Aunt Li's face was completely beaming with joy, but all craftsmen cherish their own brooms, and no one would easily pass on their own skills to others. I didn't expect Wei'er to take the initiative to teach her to clean up pigs. This really surprised her.

"Of course it's true. My aunt will wait for me for an hour, and then come out with an empty stove, and keep it for your Uncle Li to drink two or two more wine at night."

"That's great," Aunt Li told her son quickly, "Don't help Miss Ding carry the box, I'll go and pack the pigs into the water."

Aunt Li hurriedly ran to the big kitchen, leaving Xiao Fuzi to snatch the box from Ding Wei's hand and walk into the yard.
