Yutai Bi

Chapter 137
"Well, I'll change clothes." Cen Sanniang lowered her head and asked the girl, "What's your name?"

"Hui, Mrs. Hui, this servant is called Ah Cai." Ah Cai blinked at Cen Sanniang with red eyes, timidly.

Cen Sanniang glanced at her red-hot hands, and said softly: "In the future, if you are asked to change the errands that Sister Ah Qiu and Sister Xia Chu have ordered you to do, you should tell her. The elder sisters have the final say on this matter. Otherwise, It means you didn’t finish your errand, understand? Ah Cai is not like a girl’s name, so I’ll call you Cai’er, okay?”

Cai'er sounds better than A Cai, her lips moved, and she smiled embarrassedly.

Cen Sanniang said to Ah Qiu: "I know the little four, Cai'er, and what name did you give?"

Ah Qiu replied embarrassingly: "One is called Xiao Ji, and the other is called Ah Fa."

Cen Sanniang laughed sullenly: "Forget about Xiao Ji'er, Ah Fa should change it too, tell her, it's better to change it to Huaer. Do their four homonyms sound like Four Seasons Fat Fortune?"

"Yes!" Ah Qiu also laughed.

"By the way, you can deal with the matter of Xiao Si'er and Cai'er later on. Think carefully about how to discipline them, use them according to their aptitude, and don't force them to do things they don't like. Report to me later." Cen Sanniang intentionally Leave the matter of returning to Yanju to Aqiu.

Early Xia is more stable than Ah Qiu.She intends to train the two girls to be in charge in the future.Ah Qiu settled the bills, so he needed to gain experience in how to manage.

After changing her clothes, Cen Sanniang went over in a soft sedan chair.Tired and hungry, Qiang cheered up and thought about the reason for the second wife's visit.

Entered the Zhengqi hall and saluted.Blessed the eldest lady again.

Mrs. Liu immediately supported Cen Sanniang's arm, pulled her to sit beside her, and was as affectionate as her mother: "Oh, look at my nephew and daughter-in-law, is there something wrong with her face? Do you want to please?" A doctor come to have a look?"

Cen Sanniang smiled politely: "It's just that the little days have come. Thank you for your concern."

Cen Sanniang is still young, not to mention busy with the affairs of the house these few days, two groups of guests came one after another to socialize, Mrs. Du felt a little distressed.So I asked Mother Yin to let the kitchen cook a bowl of chicken soup for Cen Sanniang every day for the past few days.

There is a new rule in the mansion, and the old lady is just subsidizing herself with money from her own house.Cen Sanniang quickly thanked her.

Liu looked at it with a smile, and immediately ordered the girl she brought: "Go back and pack two catties of motherwort and bring it here." Then she turned to Cen Sanniang and said, "This woman's life can't be careless. If the root of the disease is lost, it will be fine. My aunt didn't bring any good gifts when she came to visit, hehe, our door-to-door relatives don't need those vain gifts, do they? San Niang, you just passed by, don't be shy, why are you being polite with your aunt."

A flock of crows flew across the sky.Two catties of Motherwort, twenty Wen coins per catty.It's like a gift to me.Cen Sanniang is full of black lines.She thought to herself, I'm not polite to you, you rushed to finish my words.

Old Mrs. Du said: "Yan Sui's aunt came by coincidence, so she invited you to have lunch together."

There is a girl over there who has set the dinner table.Seeing the old lady stand up, Cen Sanniang stretched her hand over Mrs. Liu to help her.Mrs. Du blinked at her.

Did not bring a gift box to drop by.Generously send two catties of Motherwort.The time came by coincidence, if she wasn't kept for lunch, and if she didn't leave, everyone would be hungry.

Cen Sanniang understood that the second room was here to take advantage.

Since there are guests.No matter how much you don't like it, the Duke's Mansion can't lose face.

The old lady likes to eat noodles, and the staple food is usually a bowl of sesame noodles, served with four side dishes.Cen Sanniang's order is three dishes and one soup.Two meat and one vegetarian southern stir-fry, cook a meatball soup or other soup.The staple food is rice.

A new pot of mutton soup was added to the dinner table, with four rougamo and three hard pancakes.

A table full of various dishes and rice.It looked very rich.

The weather is getting hotter. In April, women love to wear tube top dresses with breathable thin shirts.Cen Sanniang glanced at Mrs. Liu's bucket waist, and through the tulle she could see two thick arms that were comparable to her own calves. She somewhat understood why the old lady added this big pot of mutton soup and firm noodles.

Mrs. Liu has been excited since seeing the mutton soup: "Only the third aunt loves me the most. I know I like this the most... A sheep costs [-] yuan, and my father-in-law will only let the kitchen buy two. The second room There are so many people, two lambs are boiled and served with soup, and even chopsticks can't get a few slices of meat out. Tsk tsk, it's so delicious. Come, you can eat too!"

Before the girl could do anything, Mrs. Liu served three bowls of soup herself.Passed one bowl to Mrs. Du, put one bowl in front of him, and gave the other bowl to Cen Sanniang.

She is an elder.Cen Sanniang had no choice but to stand up and thank her.

The mutton soup sprinkled with chopped scallions is steaming, and the mouth is irritating. After drinking it, the stomach is warm and very comfortable.But mutton is irritable, so she dare not eat more.Stopped after drinking half a bowl.

The old lady only drank half a bowl, which was just a bowl of mochi, with side dishes.

Seeing that the two of them were eating elegantly, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sneered: "Sanniang, you have to eat more. You are not an outsider in front of your aunt. This is good for your health. If my family can have such good meals every day, I will eat them." Comfortable."

Mrs. Du smiled and said: "His aunt, Sanniang is from the south of the Yangtze River, and she is not used to eating in the Northwest. The old woman also envies you for your good appetite, but you are old and can't bear it. You eat slowly, this pot of soup is specially prepared by Auntie Du. I ordered it for you! Your food tastes delicious, and my aunt will improve her appetite after seeing it."

"Hey! Then I won't be polite! Auntie is right, the whole family doesn't need to be polite." Mrs. Liu let go of her hands and feet, tore the hard dough pancakes into pieces and soaked them in the soup, and took a meat sandwich in her hand to bite hard. After taking a sip, the stewed meat juice dripped down his fat white hands.

Cen Sanniang suddenly knew why the old lady said that.Seeing people eating happily makes me happy too.She wondered curiously, would Liu's mind be as straightforward and rude as her eating?

Mrs. Du winked, and the girl went to twist a wet cloth and put it in Liu's hand.

He ate two rougamo and ate half a pot of mutton soup.Liu burped.Wiped his mouth and washed his hands.

Just when Cen Sanniang thought she had finished eating.Mrs. Liu pointed to the remaining mutton soup and two hard-faced pancakes and said with a smile: "Mr. Du's family training is not to be extravagant and wasteful. Third Auntie, I will put these back."

Cen Sanniang sweated and came down.Thrift is a virtue.I haven't seen other people's meals being packed and taken away in the past... She trembled. Liu thought it was inconvenient to put the soup in a food box, so she just asked the girl who came with her to take it away with the pot.

She lowered her head and helped the old lady walk back slowly.He served tea and sipped it slowly.

Mrs. Du took a meaningful look at Cen Sanniang, then at Mrs. Liu, and slowly sipped the tea cup.

Cen Sanniang understood.The old lady was telling herself, did you see clearly?This is the master who is used to eating and taking, be careful, don't be taken advantage of by her for nothing.

She cheered up.

Liu ate and drank enough, and drank another cup of tea to get rid of greasy.Sitting comfortably, his face was full of happiness: "Hey, you will grow old in a flash!"

Porf!
Mrs. Liu's words turned too quickly, and Cen Sanniang almost choked.

Mrs. Du continued to drink tea calmly.

"Congratulations, uncle, our family has a happy event!"

Mrs. Liu's second sentence made Mrs. Du's hand holding the tea freeze in mid-air.

Could it be another person who came to Yan Wan's door to say goodbye?Cen Sanniang exchanged glances with the old lady.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "That's right, your eldest nephew, my incompetent mistress is going to marry a wife!"

Really... I am speechless.The third family of the Du family's direct branch has already separated, okay?Your son marrying a wife is none of my business!I was taken aback.Cen Sanniang thought angrily.

Mrs. Du smiled and said: "Congratulations to his aunt. When will the wedding be held? I am old, and the Duke's Mansion can only let Yan Sui and his wife come to congratulate him."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Oh, my mistress can't afford to be the third aunt to come in person. It's enough for Lao Jiu and his wife to come and give a congratulatory gift."

Well, Cen Sanniang really thinks that Mrs. Liu is invincible.They will definitely give gifts when they go to a wedding, and they can't stand such a blatant begging for gifts.

"Hey, third aunt, they are all mothers. You also know how worried mothers are!" Mrs. Liu said when she changed her face, she put her smile into her purse, and when she took out the handkerchief, she pressed it halfway. teary eyes.

Cen Sanniang straightened her back and pricked up her ears.Know that the meat is coming.

The Liu family said sadly: "It's no wonder my father-in-law scolded me. I have two babies in three years, and I can give birth after eating it!"

Cen Sanniang couldn't hold back when she heard this, and didn't dare to laugh out loud, so she took out a handkerchief and pretended to cough.

"...People say that having more children brings more blessings. You have to be born in the Duke's mansion, Nuo Da's mansion, to be blessed in your previous life. Born in our second room, the four personal maids in my courtyard can only be squeezed into one room." Sleep in the bunks in the wing room. Poor my youngest son, who is struggling again, has passed the Mingjing Department, and is now working as an errand in the Ministry of War. The future is bright."

Mrs. Du and Cen Sanniang understood.This is a borrowed house.

Mrs. Liu pulled away the handkerchief, and stopped crying: "Auntie San, do you know who my youngest son is marrying? The eldest lady of the Wei family!"

Wei Xiaowan?no?Become the sister-in-law next door so soon?

Cen Sanniang told herself that she would never borrow a house.no way!
Liu's face was full of smiles, and she approached the old lady and said: "Auntie San, you also know that not everyone can marry the eldest lady of the Wei family. It's not that my youngest son is up to the challenge, the Wei family is optimistic about his future. The concubine is Thinking about it, no matter what, I can't wrong the eldest girl to put the new house in the small courtyard of my house. No, there are so many empty yards in the Duke's Mansion. You feel sorry for the little San'er, so you put the Zhiting Garden near the garden Let me live with him for a few years. In the future, Xiaosan will be well-off, how can I forget your great kindness! Hehe!"
