from widow to dame

Chapter 36

According to the customs of Darui, if there are visitors at home, the family members of the host's family must avoid eating at the same table.After Chen Yu washed up slightly, he took the main seat without hesitation. He probably seldom ate on the kang table, and he showed a fresh expression.Of course Su Wen was sitting on Chen Yu's left, and on the right was... Su Huiniang secretly gave the child a wink to let him go with her.

"Sister Hui, don't worry, I will entertain Mr. Chen well!" Wang Qilang has a tall spine, his white jade-like chin is slightly slightly, and he looks like the pillar of the Su family, which caused Su Huiniang to grind her teeth, thinking, you What kind of adult is an eight-year-old kid pretending to be!Looking at Chen Yu with some embarrassing eyes because of Wang Qilang's words, Su Huiniang poured homemade jujube wine for several people (except Wang Qilang) and then dragged Mrs. Lin out.

The mother and daughter came to the kitchen, and Lin was still in a daze. Obviously, Chen Yu's appearance and family background had given her a great impact, making her feel a little helpless and out of control.Seeing this, Su Huiniang only comforted her and said, "Mother, Mr. Chen is my younger brother's senior brother. It's all about mutual visits between classmates. Let's do our best as landlords. There's no need to be so afraid."

"Mother heard that Mr. Chen is a child of a high-ranking official in the capital, and he himself has a reputation as a scholar. Looking at it today, he is really a dragon and a phoenix among individuals." There is no lack of envy in his words. Some time ago, Wang Erlang hoped to fight through Su Huiniang When the Chen family proposed, Mrs. Lin also heard a lot about Chen Yu. Now that she really saw her in person, she felt that the other party was unattainable, not someone like them who could hook her up.Su Huiniang smiled slightly when she heard the words and stopped talking. In this era with profound class concepts, Mrs. Lin was probably the first time in her life to see a young master from a rich family, so she couldn't help but sigh a few words.Going straight to the pot, Su Huiniang picked up some food from the bowl and ate with Mrs. Lin.She didn't dare to stay too far away, for fear that there might be something inside.

But Chen Yu and the others seemed to be having a good time eating, and they could always hear loud laughter from inside. During this time, Su Huiniang went in once, because the other party drank up a jar of jujube wine and asked Su Huiniang to bring another jar.Seeing Su Wen with a smirk on his face, Chen Yu with drunken eyes, and Wang Qilang who seemed not quite calm about anything, Su Huiniang twitched the corners of her mouth fiercely.The jujube wine, although I didn't feel anything after drinking it, but the aftertaste was great, Su Huiniang usually only drank a cup, but these people were good, the whole jar was completely dry.

This meal lasted from noon to sunset, when Chen Yu walked out from Wang's house, his footsteps were light and dizzy, Chen Yu's servant hurried over to help him.

"More Miss Su, Mr. Chen had a great time today. Let's say goodbye!" Chen Yu said to her, cupping his fists.

Su Huiniang smiled slightly, said something meaningful, and personally sent Chen Yu into the carriage.After the carriage drifted away, Fang was in the carousel room. At this moment, he saw that the Kang table was already messed up, Su Wen was leaning against the wall and fell asleep, and Wang Qilang was also sitting by the table with a flushed face. Holding a wine jar in his arms.Seeing her coming, he raised his head and hiccupped twice, showing a smug look on his face.

Su Huiniang glared at him, first cleared away the cups and plates, leaving Mrs. Lin to take care of Su Wen, but she reached out and picked up the dead child. Wang Qilang bent his head on Su Huiniang's neck like a puppy, not honest Rubbing around, she was so angry that she patted his little butt twice.After undressing him, Su Huiniang wiped his hands and face with a hot handkerchief, then stuffed him under the blanket.Just as she was about to leave, the child grabbed the hem of her skirt at some point.Su Huiniang glanced at him.The child was staring back at her wetly with deer-like eyes.It's so innocent, so cute.It's really a foul for him to do this!Su Huiniang sighed again, frowned fiercely and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The child's fair and tender face was blushing, and he showed a cute smirk, then poked his own cheek with tender fingertips and asked Su Huiniang brazenly, "Tweet."

Su Huiniang o(╯□╰)o.

"Tweet it" coquettishly.

"Just a moment."

Su Huiniang looked at the child who demanded such disrespectful behavior with an upright attitude. A well-shaped vein appeared on her forehead. She stretched out her hand and pushed the dead child's head under the quilt. Su Huiniang remained expressionless. He said calmly: "Don't lend me a drink to pretend to be crazy." Then he walked away neatly.

After a long time, there was a reluctant murmur from under the quilt: "Tch, I was discovered!"

Before Su Huiniang had time to ask Su Wen how he and Chen Yu got together, the next day, Mr. Chen came to visit again in a big way.This time, he brought a generous meeting gift.He also seemed to feel that he had lost his composure yesterday. When Chen Yu faced Su Huiniang, he showed a slightly shy expression. After all, he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.Su Huiniang naturally doesn't care, the young master came to this kind of mountain and countryside, it was nothing more than a novelty.Sure enough, when Chen Yu proposed to climb the mountain this time, Su Huiniang asked Su Wen and Wang Qilang to lead him to Nanshan.

She herself stayed with Mrs. Lin to prepare lunch. This time the food was not as rich as yesterday. It was hot, so Su Huiniang prepared to eat noodles.The white flour is mixed with some corn flour, which is rough and chewy. There are four types of stew, namely bean stew with meat stew in eggplant sauce, pepper stew with shredded pork, and egg sauce stew.Four kinds of side dishes were prepared, one dish of crystal pig skin, one dish of tofu mixed with shallots, one dish of spicy cucumber, and one dish of sliced ​​sausage.The mother and daughter worked together, and the speed was extremely fast. They just waited for them to come back, and then they could immediately go down to eat.Taking advantage of this spare time, Su Huiniang looked at the gift brought by Chen Yu with great interest.In addition to the four exquisite food gift boxes, the two pieces of satin are the most eye-catching. Unlike the cotton and linen satin that Su Huiniang bought before, these two pieces of cloth are all real silk, one is pink and the other is navy blue Looking at the color, you can tell that it is for Su Huiniang and Lin.

"Ah, this is so beautiful!" Mrs. Lin looked at the two pieces of cloth with a look of wonder, and Su Huiniang also showed a look of joy. Really good silk is rarely seen in the market.

"Mother, let me use this piece of cloth to make clothes for you!" Su Huiniang said with a smile, "It happens to be worn in hot weather." After hearing this, Shi kept shaking her head and asked Su Huiniang to put the cloth away. I didn't argue anymore, I just thought about what kind of style I should be, and when the mother and daughter were happy, suddenly, someone rushed in.Su Huiniang was so frightened—— with a sound, the cloth in her hand fell to the ground.

"Oh my god, where did this good thing come from? It's a waste to throw it on the ground like this, Hui Niang, if you don't want it, mother will accept it!" A greedy and disgusting voice came from inside the room. sounded.Su Huiniang looked intently, whoever was standing in front of her.She was so angry, because of the hot weather, she didn't hang up the door, who would have thought that Mrs. Pi would come in like this without making a sound, she must have done it on purpose!

Su Huiniang looked at Pi who was stroking the silk with both hands with a livid face, got off the kang suddenly, snatched the things back from the other party's hand, and reprimanded in disgust: "This is my thing, don't touch it! "Put two bolts of satin into the kang cabinet, slam the cabinet door and lock it.Pi Shi saw a trembling expression on his face.Su Huiniang regretted letting Xiao Hei go to Nanshan with her. If it was there, Mrs. Pi would never have come in so silently.

"What are you doing here?" Su Huiniang said coldly without showing Pi's face, "You are not welcome in the Su family, let me out!"

Hearing Su Huiniang's words, Mrs. Pi showed a ruthless expression on her face, but she seemed to have thought of something again. She suppressed the anger in her heart, stepped forward a few steps and turned to Mrs. Lin, saying, "Mother-in-law, look at our Huiniang. Ah, I still have such a big temper. Anyway, we are all family, right?" Mrs. Lin was also taken aback by her sudden appearance.She has a weak temper, and she can't say anything harsh in front of Pi Shi, so she can only look at her daughter in embarrassment.Seeing that Mrs. Lin stopped talking, Mrs. Pi suddenly regained her momentum, and said a lot of things that Su Huiniang didn't know how to respect etiquette and honor her elders.

"Why didn't you tell us about the honored guest who came to our house?" Mrs. Pi complained one by one, "Our family is a person of status, not an ordinary commoner. Hui Niang and his second brother are ours. The master next to the county magistrate, and Wuniang, who is pregnant with the county magistrate's only son... the young master of the Chen family is here, so he has to treat him well, otherwise he will embarrass the county magistrate?" Su Huiniang looked at herself. Pi Shi, who was chattering there, felt a wave of disgust rushing straight to her forehead, and she could only say one thing about her idea of ​​coming over to take advantage of her all the time, that no one is invincible to the humblest.

"Mr. Chen came to the Su family for my younger brother's sake. What does it have to do with your Wang family? What does it have to do with the county magistrate you are talking about?" Su Huiniang said coldly: "The Su family does not welcome you. Get out immediately!" Pi's skin is indeed thick enough, he has reached this level, instead of leaving, he sat down on the kang and said to Su Huiniang with a smile: "Don't be angry, I forgot to tell you Erlang also went up the mountain today, and he will definitely come back with Mr. Chen and the others in a while, you, a woman who has never seen the world, must not know how to greet distinguished guests, so I will stay and help you."
