Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 27 What a Watchdog

Sanchun's mood was a little low, but she couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.Meng Da saw his brother and sister eating happily, even more delicious than himself.

"Sister and sister, you have been busy for a long time, eat more!" Seeing that Meng Duo didn't pick up vegetables very much, he put a large piece of chicken chop into her rice bowl.

Meng Duo handed it over to Si Ya's bowl, "It's my aunt's birthday today, so I need to eat more. When I was cooking, I ate a few pieces just to taste it, so don't worry about me. My uncle is growing up." At that time, Uncle is tired all day long, so you should make up for it.” After finishing speaking, he pinched Meng Da and Sanchun brothers.

She dipped a spoonful of soup into the rice herself, and said with a smile: "Greedy people drink soup, lazy people hum. This soup is delicious and nutritious, I love it."

Meng Da's eyes flashed when he saw it, and Sanchun was clever, and he picked up a piece of chicken chop and brought it to her mouth, and said coquettishly: "Second sister-in-law doesn't eat it, and I don't taste good after eating it! Open your mouth, I'll feed second sister-in-law."

Sanchun is four years younger than Meng Duo, and it is said that men and women have different seats at the age of eight, and it is absolutely unacceptable for a rich family to behave like this.But where is the Meng family so particular?Besides, their uncle and sister-in-law grew up together, and their relationship is very close.

"Second sister-in-law, open your mouth quickly, my hands are sore."

Seeing that Sanchun acted like a baby once in a while, Meng Duo smiled and opened his mouth to answer, naturally wanting to praise him.

When Si Ya saw her, she learned how to serve her food, but she refused to obey her if she didn't eat.Seeing this, Meng Da showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, with his younger siblings, it was impossible for him to make such a gesture.

"Don't bother bringing me food, uncle is the hardest person in the family." Meng Duo reminded the two children.

Looking at the whole family you let me, I miss you, Meng Duo felt warm in his heart.Because Si Ya's greedy mouth spoiled her stomach last time, Meng Duo didn't dare to let her eat more.

Meng Da and Meng Duo didn't eat much, and the leftovers were enough for the two children to eat.Meng Duo cleared the table, and started to work when it was still early in the sky.

"Next time you go to the town to inquire about Douhua, the copper coins should be in her hands." Meng Da squatted at the door to repair the pickaxe, and said something for a long time.

Meng Duo could hear clearly, and replied: "I think so too, but it's not easy for high-ranking families to get in. Douhua just entered the palace and didn't gain a firm foothold. I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for her."

"Inquire first, and then we'll see the situation." Meng Da nodded.

A few days later, Meng Duo finished all the work in his hands, and went to the town with his things, and also brought thirty Wen coins.

Meng Duo went to the town again, and searched for the address given by Aunt Chen last time.Afraid of going to the wrong place, she asked again along the way.Aunt Chen is the mayor's daughter, and her husband is a high-ranking official in the capital, and everyone in the town knows about it.

When Meng Duo found Chen's house, he saw a dark gate with a pair of big copper lion heads inlaid on it, and two big stone lions squatting at the door, baring their teeth.She stood on tiptoe and looked inside through the gate, and saw stacks of eaves inside, and couldn't count how many houses there were.It was quiet inside, and no movement was heard.

Meng Duo walked up the steps, wanted to knock on the door but held back, thought for a while and walked around the tall wall.

She searched for an inconspicuous corner door, and then knocked.After a while, footsteps sounded inside.The door was opened with a creak, and a woman in coarse clothes came out.

Meng Duo hurried forward to explain his purpose, and took out the brocade handkerchief and other things.The woman looked at it carefully, and then let her wait, then went in and closed the door to answer.

After a while, the woman came back and brought her in.She looked up and saw a small garden in front of her.Although it is winter now, green can still be seen in the garden.There are winding corridors, strangely shaped rockeries, and a three-story building with carved beams and painted buildings not far away.

She followed her mother-in-law to the gate of the courtyard, and a tall, thin girl in red and green came out with a smile on her face.

When Meng Duo saw her mother-in-law talking to her in a friendly manner, she knew that she must be someone who could talk to Aunt Chen's side, so she hurriedly saluted slightly.

"Grandma is waiting inside, come with me." She smiled and led the way, and Meng Duo followed closely.

There are three main rooms, side rooms and side rooms on the left and right. There are two or three little maids standing on the corridor, looking at the cat lying on the ground with small and exquisite food plates.

The cat had long white fur, lying lazily and motionless. It was the first time Meng Duo saw such a beautiful cat, so he really wanted to touch it.

"Shh, walk softly." The girl who fed the cat said in a low voice, "Snowball has been playing with the ball of thread for a long time, and just fell asleep from exhaustion after eating. My son must be upset if he wakes it up now." hum."

Meng Duo tiptoed past, seeing the girls circling around a cat, he couldn't help but sigh.It is said that only by accumulating virtue in her previous life can she reincarnate in the human realm, but now she actually envies a cat.Surrounded by three or four maids like stars holding the moon, they can't be woken up casually when they sleep, and the small dishes containing cat food are more delicate than the decorations in the village chief's house. Why do you need to be such a carefree and noble cat?

She was ushered into the east side room, and before she could stand still, a girl in purple came in, "Sister Pomegranate, my aunt is drinking tea just now after dinner, you can take her there."

Meng Duo followed Pomegranate to the main room, the little girl stood at the door and opened the curtain, a warm fragrance came to her nostrils.

Stepping over the threshold, the shoes immediately sank into the soft carpet, Meng Duo looked down at the bright red carpet and murmured in his heart.The felt on the kang in their house is riddled with holes. It would be great if we could get a piece like this to spread on the kang!
"You came sooner than I expected." Aunt Chen put down her teacup and said with a smile.

Meng Duo raised his eyes, glanced at the furnishings in the room, and couldn't help but click his tongue.She has never seen any good things, but it is not difficult to see that the things in this room are all good things.

The white porcelain blue-and-white teacups on the table are translucent blue and emerald green on a white background; the plates containing the snacks are shaped like lotus flowers and painted with golden borders. As for the vases on the shelves, they are even more luxurious and luxurious.Behind the table is a large screen covered with translucent blue gauze, from which a large carved bed can be vaguely seen.

Meng Duo didn't dare to look too much, quickly lowered his eyes, and replied: "Thanks to my aunt for giving me some work, I wish I could finish it in one day, but I'm afraid that it won't be good if I rush too much. Look at it, my aunt, if I'm not satisfied, I can go back to work .” After finishing speaking, he took out the brocade handkerchief and sachet.

Pomegranate took it, glanced at it and was startled immediately.Her needlework was one of the best in the mansion, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that her master handed over the work to a little widow in the village.I saw Meng Duo just now, and she still treats her like a master because she is pitiful and kind.Seeing the stitches and embroidery techniques on the brocade handkerchief, I immediately felt my eyes brighten.

"What kind of technique is this? It doesn't look like the commonly used Shu embroidery." She opened the brocade handkerchief and presented it to the master, and couldn't help asking.
