Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 53

Xia Junyan stood anxiously at the door of the dining room, the sun was setting, and everything began to gradually melt into a black mass.

Mrs. Wu went to inform the lady in charge that she was coming to taste the dishes. There were only three or four unknown maids guarding the distant stone gate in the huge dining room.

Xia Junyan stamped her feet anxiously, looking around from time to time.The surrounding area was empty, and the crows on the dead trees were screaming hoarsely. Suddenly, a large group of tired birds flew through the air, and the flapping of their wings was particularly ear-piercing.

In the shadow of twilight, everything looked very gloomy.

Is it hallucination?But why does she always feel that there is someone behind her?
A house with a long history like the county lord's mansion, in addition to being solemn and solemn, also has a gloomy air.Who in the big family doesn't have many private affairs, and who knows what died here...

"Miss Xia."

"Ah!" Xia Junyan jumped in shock, and even the lady in charge beside her also widened her eyes.

"Why are you so surprised!" Mrs. Wu sighed to herself, it really was a country girl who had never seen the world.

"My two dishes are ready." Xia Junyan was embarrassed, and quickly said, "It's just in there."

The lady in charge calmed down and comforted herself anyway, Xia Junyan didn't come to serve people in the mansion anyway, just endure it for two days.No mistakes were made during the tasting process, so he put down his chopsticks in satisfaction and said, "That's all! Thank goodness, girl, let's go and rest."

The cooks who entered the mansion also woke up within a few hours of sleep.Everyone put on their clothes quickly, and after a simple breakfast, they took the name tags from the mother-in-law and returned to the dining room one after another.

Xia Junyan was full of anticipation that the county magistrate would summon her, but after the dishes were served, she had nothing to say except that the lady in charge came to reward her with ten taels of silver.

"Every little girl likes to think about things." Mrs. Fang patted Xia Junyan, "What are our identities, and what is the identity of the nobles, and the people who came today are all delicate ladies and wives, the county lord If you have the time to talk to us, it’s not bad to have a reward of ten taels of silver.”

Although she knew that the chance was slim, Xia Junyan was still struggling in her heart.It wasn't until Mrs. Wu and the others sent everyone out of the house with a smile, that Xia Junyan lowered her head helplessly.

Lady Fang was about to say a few more words of comfort, but Xia Junyan cheered up first.He said energetically: "It's time for dinner later, if the lady doesn't dislike my craftsmanship, why don't you come with me to Jufulou?"

Mrs. Fang didn't expect that she would still remember the previous joke. She was quite pleasantly surprised, but she was a little hesitant.

Xia Junyan asked curiously: "What's the matter? Isn't it convenient for the lady?"

Mrs. Fang said: "Isn't there a reward for this? I wanted to go to the cloth shop to pull some bolts of flowered cloth to make some clothes for my daughter."

"Why don't I go with my wife?" Xia Junyan also felt that the two sets of clothes she made last time were not enough to wear. Now that she has money in her hand, she doesn't have to live a miserable life like before.This time I decided to make a few sets of comfortable underwear. Anyway, if I wear it inside, others will not be able to see it.

"Okay, it's just that you help me choose. My daughter is about the same size as you." Mrs. Fang readily agreed.

There are only a few larger cloth shops in Yun'an Town. Although Mrs. Fang despises how the Zhou family treats her relatives, when it comes to the quality and price of the cloth, she has to go to Zhou Ji cloth shop to buy cloth.

Xia Junyan hesitated when she saw the plaque above her head.Seeing this, Mrs. Fang whispered, "We're just here to buy cloth."

Xia Junyan thought about it too. Just as she was about to enter the door, she suddenly saw a man with dull eyes squatting beside the gate of Buzhuang.

beggar?

The clothes on her body don't look like it either.
