Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 47 Pickles
Xu's mother has been doing well recently, and she is proud of the spring breeze.The wife not only rewarded her, but also rewarded the eldest daughter-in-law who worked in the mansion, and even took Brother Cheng seriously as a companion for Chen Yunzheng.

He is really smart, after only a few days, he can not only read but also write his own name, and he is very proud to say that his husband praised him.

Of course it can't be compared with Chen Yun, but few generations of the Xu family can read and write, because of this fate, they have some ideas, and Xu's mother is very grateful to Mrs. Chen.

Manman and Yongfang are almost the same as before, or the same as those girls in the yard of the uncle and the third master.But Chen Yunzheng was different. Apart from teaching Manman how to play the piano for half an hour every night, he was not with Manman most of the time.

Mother Xu was very pleased.After all, he is still a child, no matter how much he likes it, if he puts his hands away for a while, there are more fresh things waiting for him.

Chen Yunzheng has a lot of places and time to spend time, whether he can go to Qingxueyuan to eat delicious food, or go to Qingliangju to play chess with Chen Yunfang, or go to his wife's place to play coquettishly to please, life is extremely comfortable.

Also, he has made great progress in his studies. The master also specially tested him twice. The memorization of the book is excellent, the handling is also very decent, and the thinking is also very quick. The master rewarded him with four boxes of papers, four ingots of elk ink, and ten purple hairs , One Duan inkstone.

Xu's mother is proud of her, and she praises everyone she meets, "My brother has grown up and become more sensible. This is the blessing of the master and wife."

Mrs. Chen was even more happy, and even rewarded Xu's mother for a few days off, and went back to enjoy the family with her family.

When Mother Xu came back that day, she went to thank Mrs. Chen for her kindness, and then left a few jars of pickled vegetables she brought back from home, saying: "This is all slaves, the eldest daughter-in-law and a few worthless girls. It’s okay to pickle, the advantage is that the vegetables are fresh and clean, a little more delicious than the pickles sold in the market, it’s really not a respect, it’s just a snack for my wife..."

Mrs. Chen asked someone to pick it up, and said: "I've been thinking about it for the past few days. The dishes are all going down. In winter, except for those few dishes, there is no chance to eat fresh vegetables. It is inevitable that my mouth will be dull. Without your pickles, I won't have to worry about this winter."

Knowing that Mrs. Chen wanted something to eat, these few words were just to save face, but Mother Xu was still very happy, and she had to kowtow a few times in gratitude before going back.

She came back before dinner, and Chen Yunzheng just finished school and was washing and waiting for dinner in the room.Xu's mother entered the room and kowtowed to him: "Your servant has been out for a few days, is everything alright?"

Chen Yun was full of surprises, and said, "Ah, Mom, you are back. I miss you so much—"

Mother Xu smiled all over her face, and said, "This servant misses me too."

Naturally, it was a cliché again, after asking about Chen Yunzheng's situation, Qiutang Qiuyun came to set the meal, but Yongfang was not there, Xu's mother asked strangely: "Why isn't Yongfang here?"

Qiuyun spoke quickly, and said: "Sister Yongfang said she was uncomfortable, I'm afraid it will be crooked."

When Xu's mother heard this, her sense of responsibility became stronger immediately, and she asked, "What's wrong with you? Don't be cold, have you hired a doctor yet? If it's a minor illness, it's better to take some medicine as soon as possible. If it's serious, Be sure to tell your wife to move out, so as not to infect your brother."

Qiutang and Qiuyun naturally knew that this slave's illness can be big or small, if it is really serious, he can only be sent out, the conditions outside are not good, and he has no relatives like Yongfang. Money is okay, it can make ghosts turn the millstone, and you can even order a few people. If you don't have money, who will give you the best medicine?Besides, the master is not favored, not to mention that a minor illness can turn into a serious illness, and many people will die.

The two of them had only been here for a short time, so they couldn't figure out what Chen Yunzheng was thinking about Yong Fang. After all, Yong Fang was also the housewife that his wife acquiesced, so no one talked too much for a while.

Manman has been in the mansion for a long time, and she has seen many such things. She knows that the life of a girl is worthless in the mansion. Yong Fang is in this courtyard. At least she can take care of it. It was too late, and he hurriedly said: "Go back to mother, it's not a serious illness, but I probably have some stomach problems these two days, the food doesn't taste good, and I always feel a little nauseous."

Only then did Mother Xu feel relieved, she relaxed her brows slightly, and said: "That's okay, but minor illnesses can't be ignored, if it doesn't feel better tomorrow, I'll go back to my wife and ask my husband to come in and have a look."

Manman hurriedly responded, seeing that there was nothing else going on in the room, she was about to leave: "Yongfang is still asleep, I'll bring her food."

Mother Xu also stood up, bowed to Chen Yunzheng, and said to Manman, "I'll go with you, and I happened to bring some appetizing pickles, and asked Yongfang to change his mouth, maybe it will be all right."

Chen Yunzheng never cared about these trivial matters. She took care of Xu's mother when she was around, and Yongfang was not feeling well, which should have been her job, so she waved them away with a good temper.

Mother Xu asked Manman as she walked, "How many days has Yongfang been like this?"

Manman is afraid of Mama Xu.The last time she was punished, it's not that she didn't doubt Xu's mother.Although Yong Fang was jealous, at most she only made a little slander, which was far from the level of the relationship between a man and a woman. It seemed that only his elders who cared about Chen Yunzheng would consider such things.

Although she could understand, it was impossible for her to be without resentment, so she was always wary of Mama Xu. Seeing Mama Xu asking this question, it was clear that she was asking about Yong Fang's recent behavior from the sidelines.

Manman said softly: "In the past two days, she has been busy with her heart, nothing unusual."

Mother Xu said with a oh, and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm not here for a few days, Miss Manman has worked hard. My wife has high expectations for you, and you will have to take responsibility for this yard in the future."

If it were someone else, who would know the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs, they would already be overjoyed.But Manman just frowned slightly, and didn't answer the words according to Xu's mother's intention, only said: "I will do my part with all my heart."

No matter how much money she takes, she is just doing her part.

Xu's mother was a little disappointed, but also a little thankful. It's best that Manman is not greedy, but she is a little too ignorant of flattery. She said it so bluntly, and she didn't mean to take it at all.

While speaking, he entered Yongfang's room.

Yongfang's complexion was fine, but when her eyes touched the dinner in Manman's hands, she felt very embarrassed, and seeing that Ms. Xu was also there, she hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Mother Xu helped her up with a smile, and said: "You girl, if you are not feeling well, don't talk nonsense, I brought some appetizers from home, you have a taste."

Xu's mother opened the small brewing lid attentively, and immediately the unique sour and salty aroma of the side dishes overflowed.
