Gou Qingyun looked very cute when she was provoked, and Dong Nuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.
The little sister is here. She must have a good meal for lunch.
Now that the weather is cold, Dong Nuan feels that eating a steaming pot is just right.
Yesterday Gou Qingyun handed over the post, and Dong Nuan had already asked the house to prepare for the opening.
Now that people are here, the dishes have already been prepared in the kitchen, and they are just waiting for Dong Nuan to give the order before they start bringing them into the house.
Dong Nuan thought it was good, but she still needed to ask the little girl's opinion, so she thought about it and asked in a low voice: "How about eating pot for lunch?"
Gou Qingyun has been living in her maternal grandfather's house recently. Her maternal grandfather's family was poor in her early years, so she developed the habit of being diligent and thrifty. She is also very frugal with her daily food. In addition, she lives in the same courtyard with two elderly people, so her daily food is mainly light.
.
Although Gou Qingyun is not a person who has sex with meat, she still feels panicked if she doesn't eat for a long time.
So, when I heard about eating pot, I clapped my hands and said, "Okay, this is good!"
Gou Qingyun had no objection, and the lunch meals for the two of them had already been decided.
Zhuangzi, who had a warm winter, raised cattle and sheep. The cattle were difficult to kill, but the sheep were still OK. In addition, they also raised pigeons and the like.
Among the dishes prepared in the pot today are thin slices of mutton and thin slices of rabbit.
Of course, there are also some fresh vegetables, which are grown in the warm house at Zhuangzi. The quantity is not large, which is what the masters eat daily, and the servants eat various dishes stocked in the autumn.
"By the way, is the second young master getting married soon?" Gou Qingyun asked casually while waiting for the meat to be cooked while eating.
The two of them have a good relationship and are very familiar with each other, so there is no saying that they will not talk until they eat. During the meal, if something comes to mind, they will talk about it casually.
Hearing Gou Qingyun ask this, Dong Nuan nodded: "Well, December 12th will be soon."
Cao Feng is getting married. His fiancée is the second daughter of a doctor from the Ministry of Etiquette. Dong Nuan has met her and she is a very quiet little girl.
However, they had only met him a few times, but had never gotten along with each other. Dong Nuan didn't know much about his character.
It's just that the reputation of the other party's family has always been good, so the children he wants to educate shouldn't be too bad.
Cao Feng got along well with his fiancée anyway, and Dong Nuan felt that since she was satisfied with her, she must be a good girl.
"I'm going to have a drink then." Gou Qingyun didn't plan to go back to Liangzhou during the Chinese New Year. It wasn't that she didn't want to go back, but it was too cold and her maternal uncle's family was worried about a little girl going back to Liangzhou by herself.
, so I left her behind, hoping to go back next year with the officials from Liangzhou who were returning to Beijing to report on their duties.
Since she was staying in the capital, she would definitely go to such a big bustle.
There were daily courtesy exchanges between the Wei Mansion and the Cao Mansion.
Therefore, if there is a happy event in the Cao Mansion, the Wei Mansion must also go.
"Then let's sit at the same table then." Dong Nuan thought for a while and felt that it would be more comfortable to sit at the same table with familiar people, so she said casually.
Gou Qingyun nodded hurriedly, and then took a bite of the boiled rabbit meat with enjoyment: "Well, it's so delicious, I'm even greedy."
At the end of the day, the little girl was still a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Dong Nuan didn't laugh at her. Not only did she have a delicious meal, but she also asked her to bring back half a sheep and two rabbits when she went home.
Gou Qingyun was a little embarrassed, but after thinking that they were friends, she accepted it calmly.
What I was thinking about was that December was also Dong Nuan’s birthday. We didn’t have the chance to be together last year, so we couldn’t give gifts.
She had to make good preparations this year. Thinking of this, Gou Qingyun began to calculate her private money.
Gou Qingyun was not the only one who thought about Dong Nuan's birthday. Mrs. Cao was also talking about this matter with Mrs. Cao at the moment.
"Sixth girl's birthday is on December 20th. We didn't celebrate it properly last year, but we have to do it this year. Even if we don't invite outsiders, our house still has to be lively, including relatives and friends.
"Mrs. Cao felt that Dong Nuan's birthday still had to be organized.
Of course, Mrs. Cao had no reason to be inappropriate. She nodded with a smile and said, "You and the second wife should discuss it. After brother Feng's wedding is done, we can get ready."
"I know." Mrs. Cao agreed with a smile.
Mrs. Cao Er did not return to Liangzhou. Although at the end of the year, there were many things to do in the state capital that needed to be entertained. If she were not here, Mr. Cao would probably be very busy and have a headache.
But, there is no way.
At the beginning of December, her biological son was getting married, and it was hard for her to be away as a mother.
Not only her mother, Master Cao has probably rushed to the capital.
After all, his son is getting married, and Mr. Cao has received divine grace, so he can return to Beijing early and give his job description at the same time.
Although many summaries at the end of the year may not be completed yet, some things can be clearly explained in the summary.
The reason why Mr. Cao was asked to report his duties in advance was just to take care of his son's marriage.
Mrs. Cao Er has been very busy in recent days. The big procedures have actually been completed, but small details and the like still need to be paid attention to.
Of course, there is another point, that is, what will Cao Zhuo do after Cao Feng gets married?
He has already lost two fiancées, which gives Mrs. Cao a headache. There is also a third girl, Cao Xinyue, who has already been engaged to a young man from a poor family. However, he has good knowledge. If he is in high school in the future, he can also take it with him.
Cao Xinyue followed with a lot of glory.
Cao Xinyue will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, and the two families have recently been discussing a wedding date.
The dilemma between the two families now is whether to get married before Mr. Lin's death, or after his death?
A series of things happened involving her own room, and Mrs. Cao Er was too busy to do anything else.
When Mrs. Cao mentioned Dong Nuan's birthday to her, Mrs. Cao suddenly slapped her head: "Oh, I almost forgot about this!"
When she came to the capital before, she still remembered that she would help Dong Nuan celebrate her birthday this year.
After all, there was no chance last year. Who would have thought that I was so busy that I almost forgot.
Madam Cao was still calm. Seeing the Second Madam like this, she couldn't help but smile: "It's not too late to think about it now. After Brother Feng gets married, the house will have to be decorated, but we still have to ask Liu Yatou first.
I mean, if she wants to make a big event, we can send the invitations out. If she doesn’t want to, we can just invite some relatives and friends to come over and make it fun."
"Yes, yes, it must be like this." Mrs. Cao Er thought about it carefully, and she really had to ask for her opinion on Dong Nuan's birthday.
After the two people finished talking, they began to discuss how they would prepare if it was a big deal, and what if it was not a big deal?
In addition to these two people, Dong Sanchun and his wife over at Xiaozhuangzi were also talking about Dong Nuan's birthday.
"Nuan Ya's birthday is coming soon. Now that her status is different, we have to take care of it properly." Dong Wu said in a solemn tone while busy with wool felt.
