Chapter 12 You Can't Be So Handsome
(Hmm... I've started pk. In addition to asking for recommendations and collections, can you also ask for a few pk tickets? Do what you can, don't force it, thank you.)
As soon as New Year's Eve arrived, Nianfu had already asked for leave a day in advance and agreed to come back to work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The third wife did not reward her with a New Year's red envelope, but instead rewarded her with the silver earrings that Madam Hui had given her before.
Come down.
"...Your mother is too careful. She still wants to return such a small thing. I have been busy and didn't know about it. I only found out when I saw it today. You are not a slave in our family, and you don't have New Year clothes.
It’s better to take this with you. Then go to the kitchen to decorate the cakes and eat them, and let the whole family try them.”
Mu Nianfu was not pretentious or polite. He thanked him, accepted the reward, and packed it up to go home for the New Year.
However, she didn't want to wear the pair of earrings that caused Hui Niang to become seriously ill. She only kept them properly and prepared to use them as money when the family was in trouble.
On the morning of the 31st, I finished my work at home and had lunch. Just after noon, Nianfu came to Ouyang's house again with grandpa's little plot in mind.
She had changed into a new crimson-red cotton coat, which was as red as a small pepper. She had a pair of little buns on the left and right sides of her forehead. She didn't want to spend money to buy flowers, so she tied up two feet of red hair and combed her hair smoothly.
, which actually added a bit of joy. Before going out, Madam Hui wanted to wipe her cheeks with the red paper left over from cutting the window grilles, but she refused sternly.
Actually, well, it wasn't that she didn't want to dress up, but when she saw Hongyu next door using the same technique on Aunt Li's face, she basically gave up hope in Huiniang's skills.
I don’t want a monkey’s butt!
It's just that the little trickster was still a little heavy, and I didn't feel it at first. It was still tiring after walking for a long time. Nianfu stood steady outside the door of Ouyang's house, and then he hugged the pair of half-foot-long men like he was holding a watermelon.
The small round jar with the mouth wrapped in big red paper went in through the corner door and walked a little further to the kitchen.
At this time, lunch had just been finished, and all the respectable servants like Aunt Yu had gone to enjoy the banquet and wine. Some of the rest were going home to have a reunion, and some were visiting relatives and friends in other courtyards. The management of the kitchen was relaxed.
It's a good time to fish in troubled waters.
But most people know that enough is enough, but Mrs. Zou has always been greedy. She just packed a bunch of vegetables and went back, but her youngest son liked the brine in it and kept asking for it after eating. So Mrs. Zou came back to show off her moving skills.
Nianfu hid and watched, then looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he was overjoyed. He purposely walked quietly behind her, and then said solemnly, "Sister-in-law Zou, have a great New Year!"
Mrs. Zou had just finished fishing out the brine, and greedily went to grab the fried goods in the basket. Nianfu was so frightened that the fried goods she had just wrapped were scattered all over the floor. She was so frightened that her feet slipped and she fell down.
Go down.
"Ouch! What's going on? You must have fallen. Get up, get up!" Nianfu pretended to be surprised and put the jar down properly. No matter how weak he was, it was not easy to help Mrs. Zou up, and even pretended to help her.
She dusted herself off.
It's just that the force of the dusting was a little stronger, and it happened to hit the painful spot of Mrs. Zou. I just heard her keep screaming, "Okay, okay, no need to pat!"
Oh. Nianfu retracted his paw honestly and asked innocently, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Sister-in-law Zou said nonsense, "My wife asked me to pack some food for people outside. Look, it's all spread out on the floor for you. Hey, why didn't you ask for leave? Why are you here?"
Nianfu kindly knelt down to help her pick things up, but secretly rubbed them into the dirty areas while picking them up, "Didn't Mr. Wu ask for this Meizizi sauce last time? It was only today that I finally got a small bottle.
I quickly made it and sent it to my house. Sister-in-law, please go help me and tell the third wife, it is also a little bit of my family's thoughts."
Sister-in-law Zou didn't notice Nianfu's little move and took back the things she picked up angrily, "Then why can't you go by yourself? Why did you call me?"
Nian Fu Ke said politely, "I didn't mean to instruct my sister-in-law, but I don't know if the third wife is free. If the third wife is free, I will go over now. The third wife will be happy to see it."
When Mrs. Zou heard the word "happy", she immediately became vigilant and said, "Stop! I just remembered that the masters just had their meal and I'm afraid they are all resting. You'd better put it down. I'll tell you later." She wanted to go in front of the leader.
I'm trying to please you, so I won't give you this chance!
"Is that so?" Nianfu still didn't want to leave. Sister-in-law Zou glanced over and said with some fierceness, "Look at how angry you are, everyone knows you are making oil. How can I still steal it?"
Can’t you take the credit for it?”
The girl seemed to be afraid, and immediately changed her words, "Then I'll trouble my sister-in-law to make this trip for me when she has time. I'll go back right now."
Sister-in-law Zou thought to herself, as soon as you leave, I will add some good ingredients to your sauce. When the wife is angry, she will drive you away immediately, so I can tell you to introduce the person.
Unexpectedly, the girl raised her foot but turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, the mouth of my altar is sealed with mud. Once you knock it open, it will be lost. Sister-in-law, at least tell others not to move it, so as not to worry about it.
It won’t look good in front of the master.”
Sister-in-law Zou was secretly angry, she is so mean-spirited!
Nian Fu didn't care about her, and left after giving the gifts. He didn't take two steps out, but he deliberately greeted Chuntao who had just returned, "I just sent two jars of sauce... Sister-in-law Zou is in the house."
, she promised to help me tell the third wife."
With the witness, Mrs. Zou couldn't throw it away even if she wanted to. Thinking about it, she was unwilling to make someone a wedding dress, so she hid the two jars of sauce underneath, thinking that people during the New Year would have many things to do and would forget about the past or be forgotten.
It is normal for uninformed people to dismantle and use it.
Because Nianfu has been relatively successful in brushing up his favorability recently, Chuntao waited a little further and quietly asked, "Do you believe her? Why don't I make the trip for you." The little girl also had her own little thoughts.
Go and be a good boy.
But Nianfu shook his head, "I gave it to her on purpose. She is on good terms with Aunt Yu, so no matter what she does, she is right. If you go and deliver the news for me, you might cause some gossip. You
If you are willing, go and whisper to the eldest young master. He has asked me many times before, and since I have finally managed it, I have no choice but not to tell him. Just don't let anyone find out that it was you who said it, so as not to get you into trouble.
If it's inconvenient for you, then forget it. By the way, this is my home-made shortbread, it's not very pretty, you can just have fun eating it."
Chuntao smiled and thanked him, took it, and took out the candy from his purse, "This is what the mansion gave out in the morning, you can take it and eat it. Don't worry, I know the people in the eldest young master's courtyard. It's okay to go and say it."
Anyway, you should talk to more people when you come, and then we won’t be troubled.”
Hearing what she said, Nianfu hurriedly said, "Fortunately you reminded me, I will tell everyone I meet later. Once the word has spread, it will not be a problem. Don't mention me when you come to the eldest young master, just treat it as normal."
Chuntao smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's all on me. You can go back in peace."
Nianfu waved his sleeves and left.
Chuntao went to find the eldest young master. Normally, she was not allowed to break into the master's courtyard, especially since the eldest young master was well-born and the old lady was more strict. Even under the same roof, she had not seen the eldest young master for a long time. It was so easy.
Take a chance and just go over and walk around.
Fish have their own paths, shrimps have their own path, Chuntao followed the path of the little girl Luliu. The two girls grew up playing together. Although Luliu was assigned to a better place because she was smarter, the former little sisters
It's no problem to ask her to say something, especially since the young master talks about it all day long.
Luliu heard that the sauce was good, and said hurriedly, "Then you sit down for a while, and I will go back quickly. You don't know that if we didn't have a stove here, the young master would be able to cook and refine the oil himself!"
Chuntao didn't believe it and started laughing. But after a while, when the eldest young master came to her and asked her to take him to find Jiang, Chuntao finally believed it.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Mrs. Zou had gone home early. After rummaging for a while, she found some sauce from under the table. The eldest young master asked, "What else did Sister Mu say?"
"It's nothing..." Chuntao stammered, blushing a little uncontrollably.
It turns out that the eldest young master is really so good-looking. I didn’t realize it when I was young, but after not seeing him for several years, how could he suddenly become a handsome young man?
The eldest young master thought for a while, and successfully opened a jar of sauce that was said to be indestructible. When he opened it and smelled it, the fragrance was fragrant, without the heavy smell of vegetable oil. After dipping it in, he tasted it, sweet and sour.
Very appetizing.
The eldest young master was overjoyed. He immediately picked up another unopened jar and walked away, "Prepare your horses, I want to go out!"
※
On the way home, Nian Fu stood up and thought, as long as Chuntao can carry the words and the young master is not too stupid, he should understand what she means. Although the New Year's Eve is already halfway over, this time
Wouldn't it make it appear that etiquette is less important than friendship but friendship is more important when sending a favor?
I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice a fast horse galloping past behind me, "Give way, please give way!"
Although the man on the horse was shouting with all his strength, the girl in front of him in a new crimson coat didn't seem to hear it, and still didn't avoid it slowly. The man on the horse had no choice but to slow down, but the horse's hoofs splashed
Xue Ni had no idea, but he still threw off that girl's skirt.
When Nianfu finally found out, it was too late, "Hey! What's wrong with you? Do you have a sense of public morality?"
The time spent passing by was very short. Even if the person on the horse wanted to turn around and say sorry, he would not have time. He could only turn around and smile, then hug the jar in his arms and look forward.
The girl behind him was dazed for a long time, and just now she looked at the dirt on her new clothes with disgust and muttered, "You can't be like this even if you are handsome. At least come down and apologize so that people will look at you twice." e=《
