Chapter 9 Reflection

(Have a nice weekend. Let’s go watch my father’s buns show off in the evening. Haha, after watching the heroine show off her cuteness, I’d like to give you a recommendation and add it to your favorites, okay? ^_^)

Maybe it was because she had supplemented her nutrition by eating dumplings and rested overnight that Huiniang felt much better. When Nianfu got up early the next day, she felt her forehead, where the fever had subsided, and felt relieved. However, she still pressed her hand.

Let her sleep a little longer while I go about my business of making medicine and cooking.

After washing up, Hongyu also yawned and came over to help. Nianfu first pulled her to the kitchen and brought out the dumplings that were all yellow from the morning. The little girl visibly swallowed her saliva.

Nianfu smiled sincerely, not at all like the wolf grandma who abducted Little Red Riding Hood, "Good sister, I have to work hard for you again today, and there is nothing good. I will give you these dumplings."

Hongyu was a little embarrassed, "I just ate your steamed buns yesterday, how can I eat your dumplings again? Grandma would have scolded her if she knew it."

"It's okay. If you don't tell me or I don't tell you, who will know? Besides, our family all ate it yesterday." Nianfu just stuffed one into her mouth.

The little girl couldn't resist the temptation and opened her mouth to accept it. Then she heard Nianfu ask, "Did something happen at my house yesterday?"

Hongyu couldn't eat anymore, so she heard Sister Mu say, "Did they not let you tell me? Well, actually, my mother talked in her sleep last night and she told her everything. I was afraid that they would be worried, so I wanted to talk to you first."

Get some air."

"Ouch!" The little girl was indeed fooled, and immediately said anxiously, "Sister Mu, don't be sad, you are their adopted daughter-in-law, no one can rely on you!"



Today when I was reading the blessings and lighting the fire at Ouyang's house, I was quite absent-minded.

Thanks to Dumpling, she finally got the truth out of Hongyu's mouth. It turned out that it was someone from the Xuancheng Hou family who came yesterday.

It is said that it is normal to visit relatives in the new year, but it is quite strange that the visitors from the Hou family did not bring rice or oil, but twenty taels of silver.

Although the Shi family suffered a disaster, it was a difficult time, but as a person, you have to be proud, especially between unmarried in-laws. During the Chinese New Year, if you can’t give anything, why would you give a snowy twenty?

Two pieces of silver? If you really accept this, how can you behave if you let your daughter get married without any courtesy?

Therefore, the Shi family confiscated the money and asked someone to take it back. However, the two elders of the Shi family and Hui Niang also had murmurs in their hearts, so Nian Fu saw the clues.

Alas! Nianfu began to hate the evil old society.

With an arranged marriage, you don’t have to worry about being a leftover girl, but a blind marriage is not conducive to building a harmonious family, right? Although the folk customs are not too closed now, it is still a shame for a girl to take the initiative to inquire about her husband’s family. Besides,

The Hou family was in Xuancheng, several hills away. Even if she could be shameless about praying for blessings, who was she going to ask?

"Sister Mu! Sister Mu, I'm calling you!"

It wasn't until someone gave him a push that Mu Nianfu came to his senses. He quickly took a look at the fire in the furnace and saw that everything was fine. Then he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm looking for you. I'm here. Come and talk!" It was the handsome young man whom I met yesterday, who must have been with the eldest young master. He was waving to her with a smile on his face.

Nianfu paused and asked, "What are you doing? Another distinguished guest is coming?"

The boy chuckled and said, "What you say is so funny! Don't worry, Mr. Wu didn't come today, but he sent someone to say that although the delicious food yesterday tasted fresh at first, the aftertaste was too strong of vegetable oil.

It's a bit annoying. Can you think of a way to get rid of it?"

Uh...this is like meeting a master!

Of course Nianfu knew that the best way to make salad dressing is olive oil, followed by colorless and odorless salad oil, but the question is where can she get these? The rapeseed oil used by Ouyang's family is already considered top-quality. , but to be honest, the smell of vegetable oil is quite strong, and she doesn’t like it either. But this oil and sesame oil are the only two vegetable oils that can be chosen today. Compared with sesame oil, the smell of vegetable oil is quite light. Besides, She doesn’t know how to do anything else!

The boy was a little displeased when he saw that the girl hadn't spoken for a long time. However, seeing that she was pretty, his tone became gentler and said, "Anyway, you have to think of a solution first. It took a lot of effort to invite this gentleman. If it's because of your flying Yes, the masters will definitely be blamed."

Damn it, this is compulsory consumption, why don’t you refuse! I felt like crying without tears when I read the blessing, so I could only say with an expression as if I had swallowed a fly, “Then I’ll give it a try.”

"Then hurry up." The boy agreed and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he turned around and pointed at his nose and said, "My name is Bai Xuan. I am the book boy who serves the eldest young master. There is also a black one named Mo Yun. Second time See, just call me brother Bai Xuan."

"Oh." Nianfu glanced at him, but he was vomiting in his heart. The boy, his hair is not even long, but he wants to imitate others and tease the little girl? From this, it can be seen that the young master is not so good, right?

Turning around, Nianfu asked in the kitchen with a smile on his face, "Did you guys hear this just now? You are more knowledgeable than me. Do you know of any other vegetarian oils that have a light taste?"

"How do we know this? Although we are servants, we are also from a wealthy family, and we rarely go out. How can we be as knowledgeable as your family who sells tofu?"

Nianfu didn't take it to heart that Mrs. Zou was so sarcastic, but after asking around in the kitchen, I saw that everyone was more or less perfunctory towards her, and I felt bad.

Wasn't it okay when we divided the money yesterday? Why did the trend change today? Is Aunt Yu instigating rebellion behind her back, or what?

I originally wanted to ask Mrs. Chen, who was always straightforward, but her target was too obvious. Nianfu thought about it, took advantage of the opportunity, pretended to urinate, and chased the little girl Chuntao out.

"Sister, wait a minute, can you say something to me?"

"What do you have to say?" Chuntao looked at her warily and took half a step back.

Is there a virus on my body or something? Nianfu was angry in his heart, but he had to continue to apologize with a smile on his face, "I really don't know what I did wrong to make everyone treat me like this. Sister, please sue me. Let me understand, okay?"

Chuntao snorted, "You didn't do anything wrong, you're just too smart! Even my mother said that you are not easy to deal with, so tell me to stay away from you. I won't have to count the money for you when I sell it to you one day. Woolen cloth!"

She left by herself, leaving Nianfu there as if struck by lightning.

Have you fooled your brain? Why did you forget about the big taboos in the workplace and just try to win over people before you have established a firm foothold? On the surface, it seems that it was a generous move to take the initiative to divide the reward money yesterday, but wait until others think about it. Come on, I don’t think it’s strange that you harbor evil intentions! Are you familiar with this person? You don’t have to be so generous to show your kindness, right? Besides, they are all long-term employees in the system, so what’s the point of having a heated relationship with a temporary worker like you who just came here? Why? You are still in charge of human affairs. Why did you make such a stupid mistake?

Not to mention Fu Tianlei's self-reflection, Bai Xuan left the problem behind, came out of the kitchen, walked around the backyard, crossed a wall, and returned to his young master's small courtyard.

This is a veritable small courtyard, with only three rooms in total, two bright and one dark. It is already small, but there are seven or eight people crammed into it, making it even more cramped.

Seeing Bai Xuan come in, a loyal man with an appearance similar to him came over in displeasure, "Where have you been running around again?"

Bai Xuan immediately pouted and retorted, "I didn't run around, I went to do serious things. Where is the young master?"

"The young master has gone to the old lady's place. Couldn't your father just ask you to talk nicely?" A middle-aged woman walked out kindly, "It's such a cold day, please go inside and have a barbecue.

Cai Qingzhu and the others roasted chestnuts, and I specially saved them for you."

Bai Xuan immediately said with joy, "Then go and get the bottle of honey from the eldest master's house. Rinse that one to make it sweeter!"

The woman agreed, and the loyal man, Bai Xuan's father, Bai Xiang, said displeasedly, "Are you so spoiled with children? What can anyone say if you are so wanton in the master's yard?"

Bai Xiang's wife said indifferently, "What's the point? The eldest young master usually behaves like this among us. He has been a master and servant for many years, but you always care about it like this."

Before she finished speaking, a window next to her opened, and a young woman with a solemn face and her hair in an unmarried bun said, "No matter how many years he has, the master will always be the master. No matter how kind you are, you must remember the propriety in your heart."

The old lady didn't want to eat that honey, so she specially left it for the eldest young man to study at night for tea and supper. But you used it to roast chestnuts. If the old lady found out about this, wouldn't it mean that the eldest young master was also ignorant if we didn't have any rules?

, Randomly ruining the elders’ thoughts?”

Bai Xiang's wife was very embarrassed after hearing this. A gray-haired old woman lifted the door curtain and said, "Okay, okay, just don't say a word. I didn't take it anyway. Just remember it."

Bai Xiang's wife took steps and brought her son into the house to eat chestnuts. Bai Xiang helped the old woman into the house and apologized to the woman, "Lan Gu, it's our family's fault. Don't argue with her."

Lan Gu stopped the new shoes she was making and sighed, "I have been serving young ladies with her since childhood. Don't you understand her temper? It's good if you can take good care of your son. If he makes trouble in the house, that's fine.

What should people say if he turns around and shows signs outside? Especially now that the eldest young master has finally managed to get Mr. Wu to give him guidance, if people see the people around him being so unruly, wouldn't he be looked down upon as well?

"

Bai Xiang felt even more ashamed when he heard that. The old woman Shen hurriedly came to the rescue and said, "Actually, Bai Xuan is also a sensible person, but he is young. Even if you are a child, you can be a little greedy. Lan Gu, don't be too serious."

"But..." Lan Gu wanted to say something, but she was forced to suppress it by Grandma Shen, so she had to lower her head and continue sewing.

When Bai Xiang came out, he felt that it was very boring. The eldest young master finally hired a famous teacher, and Lan Gu immediately started sewing new shoes for him to make him look good to others. But his mother-in-law refused to do anything more.

Her heart is full of her son.

Bai Xiang felt depressed but couldn't express it, so he had to go to the stable to comb the young master's horse. He wanted to do more work to make up for the shortcomings of his wife and children. Unexpectedly, there was already someone there, and Mo Yun was having a great time combing it.

Huh. This child is not as smart as his own son, but he has a lot of work to do. Bai Xiang sighed again, come on, let’s stir up the horses. be = "Celebrating the Good Year"]
