Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 185 Aunt Guo Gives Gifts
Aunt Guo is cleaning with two maids, Danyun Chunxiao, presumably because the weather is good, and she wants to thoroughly clean up the dust that has accumulated all winter.Danyun and Chunxiao were originally in charge of sweeping the inner courtyard, but Roulan stayed at Shiweitian to help, and Wu Ersister was transferred to the medical center to help out a few days ago, only Aunt Guo was left in the big kitchen, so Mu Ai ordered Xiao Miao and Ruyi are in charge of Shuan Shuan and Xing'er's yard, Kang Weiduo's older children are in charge of the children's yard, and her own maidservants are in charge of the main house. yard.Liberate Danyun Chunxiao and help Aunt Guo prepare meals for everyone.

The two girls are very capable, they don't talk much on weekdays, and they do things quickly, which Aunt Guo likes very much. They often teach them how to do needlework and cooking, which seems to be like a master leading an apprentice.

Seeing Chunfen and her own daughter coming, Aunt Guo came out with a smile and said, "Why is Chunfen girl here at this time, Madam doesn't have to wait on her? Could it be my girl who caused some trouble?"

Xiao An knew that her mother was making fun of her, but she still stepped forward and held her mother's arm in reluctance, "Mother just doesn't believe in her daughter, and always thinks that I will cause trouble."

Chun Equinox said with a smile, "Aunt Guo, Xiao An is very clever, and Madam likes it very much."

After hearing this, Aunt Guo beamed with joy, nodded her daughter's nose and said, "Then you should take good care of Madam and listen to Miss Chun Equinox more."

"Understood, mother." Xiao An stuck out her little tongue playfully, and responded with a smile.

The spring equinox looked at their mother-in-law's closeness, and felt envious. Yesterday, I only saw my father, but not my mother and younger siblings. However, the family bought two acres of land, and my mother's health is much better. I think the days will get better and better in the future up.

"Aunt Guo, Madam just took a break again, I can't bear her to bother, but Aunt Gui's family's wedding ceremony should be prepared, so I want to discuss with you to see what to give, you are always here Walking around the village, these are more familiar than me."

"Oh, that's not it. Don't let Madam worry about these trivial matters. Usually, if you marry a girl to add makeup, Madam will give you two taels of silver and a pair of silver jewelry. Marrying a daughter-in-law is twice more important than marrying a girl." People in the village are frugal, why don't we add some fabrics."

"Cloth? Madam doesn't like to wear bright colors, even the clothes of the young masters and ladies rarely have bright colors. There are only dozens of bright red brocades and cotton cloths in the curry. Why don't you choose two to add to it? It's both appropriate and festive. What does Aunt Guo say?" Chunfen flipped through the warehouse account books in his hand and expressed his thoughts.

Aunt Guo immediately smiled and agreed, "Of course, Aunt Gui's third son is only 12 years old. If he doesn't need it this time, he can still use it. Well, why not add two more boxes of snacks. Let's The dim sum in the house is very famous now, and sending it to her to entertain her natal family will definitely add a lot of credit to her."

"Okay, just order two bolts of high-quality red cotton cloth, two boxes of snacks, and two taels of Hexi silver. I'll pick them up in a while, and I'll have to trouble Aunt Guo for a while." Chun Equinox put away the account book and said.

"What's the trouble? I've always been the one walking around the village in our mansion. You are all big girls who haven't left the cabinet. Just concentrate on serving your wife." Aunt Guo waved her hand with a smile.

Spring Equinox led Xiao An to the storeroom to take out the cloth, packed some snacks, and put them on a large tray together with a two-liang small silver key, and handed them to Xiao An to deliver to her mother.Xiao An asked with a smile, "Sister Chunfen, can I follow my mother to see the excitement, I haven't been out of the house a few times yet."

Chun Equinox glanced at her with a smile, "You, why did you suddenly become playful? Madam has been feeling unwell for the past two days, and we need to take care of you, Young Master and Miss... Forget it, we have to go early and come back early with Aunt Guo. "

"Yes, I must come back early." Xiao An happily went to find her mother with her tray in her arms. Take a closer look at what the village looks like.

Xiao Anxuan is only thirteen years old, and she has not yet settled on a marriage, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the rules to avoid suspicion. Aunt Guo is also a spoiled child, and she is really happy to take her daughter out to give gifts.The mother and daughter walked and watched all the way, and came to a bluestone yard in the south of the village.

As soon as Aunt Guo entered the yard, the sharp-eyed young daughter-in-law surrounded her and said with a smile, "Why is Aunt Guo here? Isn't the house busy?"

Aunt Guo smiled and said, "It's not busy, this is not Gui sister-in-law's great joy here, I'm here to give our wife a congratulatory gift."

Aunt Gui also heard the voice coming out of the room, smiled and took Aunt Guo's hand and said, "Sister Guo, you are here, we were talking about you just now."

Aunt Guo followed her into the house, "Why, everyone said something about me, but they thought I wouldn't come out to do needlework."

"No, no, everyone is saying that you are good at cooking, and I want you to help me to add color to my banquet." Aunt Gui said with a smile. He stood up and greeted Aunt Guo.Aunt Guo greeted Grandma Li who was sitting on the upper arm again. Grandma Li smiled and helped her up, then pointed to Xiao An behind her and asked, "Isn't this girl serving by Mrs. Xian's side?"

Aunt Guo smiled and nodded, and said, "Grandma has good eyesight. This is my daughter, Xiao An, who has been serving Mrs. Xian." Then, she asked Xiao An to greet all the aunts and grandmas.

Today, Xiao An wore a light green slanted-breasted jacket, matched it with a light yellow butterfly skirt, and stepped on a pair of pale pink embroidered shoes with double phoenixes embroidered on her feet. With long hair, two small silver plum blossom pendants on her ears, and a twisted silver bracelet on her hand, she looks so delicate and gentle no matter how you look at it.

Grandma Li pulled Xiao An to her side, and praised with a smile, "When I saw her by Mrs. Xian's side on weekdays, I thought, who would be blessed with such a delicate girl, but it turned out that she was born by Aunt Guo. So At first glance, it is not, but I have five points of imagination."

Aunt Guo waved her hands and said with a smile, "Grandma praised her. Even if this girl is good enough, she always serves by Madam's side and has been taught by Madam. I am always busy in the outer courtyard. It would be nice to see her every few days." gone."

Grandma Li and everyone nodded, and said, "That's right, Madam Xian is a good woman. Without her, our village would not have such a good life."

Aunt Guo looked at Aunt Gui who was serving tea, pointed to the things on the tray, and said, "Sister-in-law Gui, my wife wanted to come to congratulate her in person, but she has not been feeling well for the past two days, so she asked me to pick some suitable gifts for you." You send it here. You see, these two pieces are all high-quality cotton cloth. If the second boy has enough here, the third boy should also use it when the third boy gets married in two years. These two boxes of dim sum are the signature dim sum of Food For Heaven, I think On the day you are living, it must be very decent to keep it to entertain your natal family. There are also two taels of congratulatory silver, and you will collect it soon."

Aunt Gui smiled from ear to ear, clapped her hands happily and said, "How else can I put it, our sisters hit it off the most, and the two you picked are what I'm missing here. There's nothing better than this." Congratulatory gift. When you go back, you must thank Mrs. Xian for the generous gift."

Aunt Guo smiled and said, "It's good that you are satisfied. Our wife is kind-hearted, and she will be happy if she knows that she happened to help you. Besides, I will report back and report to you in the evening. You are sure."

"Oh, just now I didn't know Mrs. Xian was not feeling well, so I rashly proposed it because of our good relationship. Now that I know, why would I let you out? There are dozens of people waiting for you in your house Take care." Aunt Gui quickly waved her hand, taking back what she said just now.

A young daughter-in-law next to her interjected, "Madam Xian is not feeling well, but have you seen a doctor?"

"There is no serious illness. In this season, it is warm and cold. Some of them are suffering from wind and cold, and spring sleepiness. Therefore, the big girls are persuading Madam to take care of her for a few more days." Aunt Guo said.

Grandma Li's daughter-in-law answered, "That's right, it's most likely to catch wind and cold this spring."

Everyone was talking gossip, and a woman next to Grandma Li glanced left and right at the jewelry on Xiaoan and Aunt Guo's hands, a look of greed flashed in her eyes, she stretched out her arm and turned away gently. abduct.

Grandma Li gave her a sideways glance and shook her head slightly. The old woman had a look of dissatisfaction on her face. She took advantage of the gap between everyone's conversation and suddenly interrupted, "Speaking of which, Mrs. Xian is quite pitiful, no matter how powerful she is, She's also a woman, if only a man could help her to support the door, then I..."

Grandma Li slapped the woman on the body, interrupted her, and then said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "My sister-in-law from afar came to live with me for a few days, and I don't know the situation of Mrs. Xian yet. Speak It's a bit of a mistake. Don't take offense to her, Aunt Guo."

Aunt Guo sneered in her heart, the old woman had made her look at her eyes, so she had been watching her quietly from the corners of her eyes, and she had noticed the small actions of the two of them just now, and now the old woman had such a As soon as I said it, I knew that they must be playing with their wives behind their backs.

At the moment, he smiled lightly, "It's okay, what this old sister-in-law said is not bad, if there is really a male master in our house, there will be no unreasonable people jumping out to make trouble. It's a pity, with our wife's character and appearance, Men from ordinary wealthy families are ashamed of their talents and strategies. It is not easy to find a good man who can match our wife. Therefore, our wife can only work hard. However, there are two young masters and one young lady in our family Well, they are all talented and intelligent, and after a few years, they will naturally be able to support the family business, so our wife doesn't have to bother so much."

Everyone quickly agreed, the woman seemed to have something to say, but Grandma Li glared her back, and closed her mouth reluctantly.

　Thank you friends for your support, my husband has a cold, and the red wine is crazy busy!
