Gou Qingyun was just guessing about these things, and it was not easy to say them directly. After thinking about it, she said seriously with a straight face: "It must be a big deal!"
Dong Nuan was directly amused by her. Miss Cao's reaction was, "It's not that Dong Nuan didn't pay attention, but as long as it wasn't malicious, she actually didn't care."
While the two little girls were chatting quietly, Miss Cao Er on the other side had been chatting with Mrs. Cao for a long time.
Miss Cao Er really feels that Dong Nuan is very good now. She feels that it is very comfortable to make friends with Dong Nuan. Most of the time, Dong Nuan acts straightforwardly and has no bad intentions.
As long as you are sincere, the other person will also be sincere.
Of course, in addition to being nice in winter, there is also the ability of this person.
This little girl is amazing!
"Mother, what do you think?" Miss Cao Er suggested that her mother adopt Dong Nuan as her adopted daughter. In this way, on the one hand, it would be easier for them to win over Dong Nuan, and on the other hand, it would also be convenient for Dong Nuan to act in Liangzhou Mansion in the future.
.
If Dong Nuan becomes successful and comes to the capital in the future, with the protection of the Cao family, those people will not dare to go too far.
Mrs. Cao was also very impressed by Dong Nuan. After all, a little girl who can make rose water should not pay too much attention to it.
Mrs. Cao asked the maids, aunts, and steward Cao in detail about Miss Cao.
Knowing that Dong Nuan is indeed a good little girl, capable and smart, Mrs. Cao is also quite moved by her daughter's proposal.
However, my husband is a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, and the Cao family is quite influential in the capital. Regarding the matter of adopting an adopted daughter, we not only need to discuss it with my husband, but also send a letter back to the capital to report back to the old lady.
Since she is to be recognized as an adopted daughter in a big way, it is definitely not something that can be done behind closed doors and drinking two bowls of tea.
There are a lot of things involved. After all, the Cao family is quite powerful, and whether Dong Nuan is willing to do it after knowing about it cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
"I will ask your father later. If he agrees, I will ask him to write to the capital and ask your grandmother, uncle and Wan Meiren in the palace." The Cao family has not yet been divided, and Mrs. Cao can take charge of the family.
, just their little home.
When it comes to such a big thing as recognizing a relative, it must be reported to the old lady who is really in charge of the Cao family, Uncle Cao, and...
Wan beauty.
Wan Meiren was the cousin of Miss Cao Er, the eldest daughter of the Cao family, and the legitimate daughter of Uncle Cao. She entered the palace two years earlier and was quite favored.
Under normal circumstances, beauties do not have formal titles, and most of them are called by their surnames.
For example, the likes of Wang Meiren, Zhao Meiren, and Liu Meiren in the palace today.
However, Miss Cao has a title with the word "Wan", which shows the degree of favor.
It's just that he entered the palace for a short time and has no heirs, so he can't be promoted quickly for the time being.
However, according to the current level of favor and Wan Meiren's scheming and methods, the position of concubine is only a matter of time.
When Miss Cao Er heard this, she nodded quickly: "You have to ask your grandmother and uncle."
After quietly agreeing, Miss Cao Er thought for a while and asked softly: "Is there any news from Wan Meiren?"
When I say there is news, I mean whether I am pregnant or not.
The capital is quite far from Liangzhou, and it takes some time for carriages and horses to travel, but letters are not that fast.
The last time they received a letter was at the beginning of the month.
"There is no letter at the beginning of the month yet." Mrs. Cao thought for a while, shook her head, but quickly added: "But your uncle said, Wan Meiren asked us not to worry, it will happen sooner or later."
When His Majesty ascended the throne, he inherited the mess left by the late emperor, so he was more concerned with government affairs and did not have much time to go to the harem.
And because there are many concubines in the harem, everyone should be divided. Even if Wan Meiren is favored, she will not be divided for a few days in a month.
Your Majesty has a cold temperament and is very rational. Even if he favors a certain concubine, he has no intention of summoning her every night.
However, Wan Meiren said there was no rush, so she must have a plan in mind, so they were not worried.
After the mother and daughter discussed for a long time, Miss Cao Er went back to rest.
Dong Nuan didn't know anything about the matters in the Cao Mansion.
Because after sending Gou Qingyun away the next day, Dong Nuan was busy with work.
It’s the end of the month and Hanjiang Tower is coming back!
At noon, Dong Nuan went to the chicken coop. Looking at the still immature chickens, she shook her head with regret: "Tsk, tsk, it's a pity, it's too small. Otherwise, I would kill and eat the chicken that I raised with one hand."
It’s definitely fresh and tender.”
Shizhu was listening with his eyebrows pounding. He had only raised this chicken for less than two months. Although it was quite big when he caught it, it is only half a big rooster now. It would be a pity to kill it!
"Girl, Shi Qing has already taken Aunt Sun to buy them. She will definitely buy them. Let's let these chickens go and let them grow longer." Shi Zhu said while mixing the chicken food skillfully.
To be honest, the grains used to mix chicken today were used daily when Dianthus was in the village.
Sometimes, she even eats less than chicken.
Some things do no harm without comparison.
However, Shizhu just thought about it casually. Her life is easy now, and her younger brother can learn a lot from the young master. Although he no longer has a slave status, the girl and the young master are both easy to get along with, and their lives are not bad.
That's good, she can be considered worthy of her parents.
After the two people fed the chickens, they went to the flower field, carefully picked the flowers that bloomed today, and put them into the small basket specially made by Dong Nuan, and then went to the pond.
Unfortunately, the fish and shrimps are only raised for a short time and cannot be eaten.
Dong Nuan shook her head regretfully, while Shi Zhu looked behind and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
The two of them went for a walk in the orchard again, and when they came back, it was already approaching evening.
Aunt Sun and the others have been back a long time ago, and the meat is already steaming and stewing.
When Dong Nuan entered the kitchen, they were preparing the dishes and waiting for the hosts to come back. They could just stir-fry.
After the side dishes were prepared, they had no time to spare and had to prepare meals for the slaves in the village.
The long-term workers at Zhuangzi only care about one meal at noon, and they need to take care of the rest of the meal themselves.
There is a special place for long-term slaves to live in Zhuangzi. They can share a stove with several families and make extra meals for themselves.
For those who are close to home, you can choose to go home directly instead of living here in Zhuangzi.
The long-term workers don't have to worry about the amount of food, but the slaves still have to take care of the dinner.
They have two meals a day, and only three meals together when farming is busy.
The cooks were cooking the food in full swing, and Aunt Sun, who was in charge, responded twice and went to help.
Dong Nuan saw that the meat was all arranged and the mutton soup was cooked. She nodded with satisfaction. The kitchen was a little hot at the moment, so she didn't stay long, but turned around and walked out.
Counting the time, the carriage that went to pick up Hanjiang Tower should be back!
