The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but fortunately a woman came over in a hurry and opened her mouth to lighten the atmosphere——
"Master, this servant is here to pick up Li Sheng's family and go over there to talk."
Xiao Feng had no time to pay attention to her, and still stared at Xiao Qinglin without blinking.
Apparently, the mother-in-law was already used to the strange behavior, so she walked up to Cheng Xue and made a "please" gesture.
Yes, today is passive step by step, passive step by step.
The useful information he wrote overnight is a treasure in the eyes of Xiao Qinglin, but is just a piece of grass in the eyes of others! From now on, I will no longer believe in the saying "nothing is lacking". Even if you are not lacking, you have to prepare.
Because of today’s lesson, no matter who she goes to as a guest in the future, she will prepare something.
Yan Yixin and Li Heng stayed with Li Hui. Cheng Xue took Li Huai and left with sister Li Yue and her mother-in-law.
After passing through the corridor, the pavilion comes into view.
After being led into the pavilion by her mother-in-law, Cheng Xue took her children and bowed sideways——
"A commoner's wife, Mrs. Yu, brought her children to see a lady."
In Liangyan, the wives of officials have corresponding imperial orders. Xiao Feng is from the third rank, so his wife is a third-rank lady. But not everyone has the imperial order. Although many men become officials, their own
The wife will not give orders.
Unless the mother's family or the couple have done something significant and meaningful to the court.
Xiao Feng's wife Wang looked at the four of them, mother and son, and then spoke after a while:
"Get up."
"Xie Shuren."
Wang pointed to the position next to her and said:
"Sit down. Call Si Dan, come on."
The little guy was not afraid of life. After walking two steps, he remembered his mother and immediately turned back. When he saw his mother smiling and nodding, he walked over with his two small sesame teeth.
The Wang family only has two daughters, so she is particularly fond of boys. Li Huai was raised to be white, fat, and loves to laugh, so he finally understood why his nephew never left this little guy.
He reached out to hold the person on his lap, picked up the bean cake on the table and fed it to his mouth.
The little guy didn't open his mouth, but looked at his mother again. After getting permission, he thanked her, took a bite in his hand, and then struggled to get off the ground.
After a few steps, I walked up to my sister and raised my hand——
"Eat...sweet..."
Li Yue touched the top of his hair and shook his head, and Li Tian pinched his little face and shook his head too.
Wang looked at the three siblings and let go of her previous prejudices a little bit. People say that farmers are honest, so maybe this woman really listened to her nephew and didn't prepare anything.
After all, she didn't care about that little thing. What did the Xiao family have? It was just that she was afraid that her nephew would be taken advantage of, and that would be fatal.
"You are good at teaching children, and the relationship between their siblings should be very good."
"The lady is so flattering. A peasant woman is just a village woman, ensuring that they have enough food and warm clothes. Their fathers teach them rules and virtues."
Well, not bad, I know how to put gold on my man’s face.
Wang nodded and pointed to the position next to her——
"Come and sit here, don't be formal. Logically speaking, I should have met you and your wife a long time ago, but when I first came to Liaodong, I had a lot to do, so I put it aside."
"A lady is so polite, but a commoner woman is not worthy of it. We were supposed to come to visit, but we were also busy with my husband's scientific examination, so we never came."
Of course Cheng Xue would not really think that she wanted to see them.
She had discussed with Li Hui whether to come for a visit. Later, she thought about it and decided not to, mainly because she was afraid that others would misunderstand that they wanted to gain power and wealth.
Originally, she thought the Xiao family would wait until Li Hui won the election before showing up, but she didn't expect to see them today.
In the process of getting along, she was very well-behaved, and she answered whatever was asked. Li Huai, on the other hand, was very favored by Mrs. Wang and was hugged by her several times. Sister Li Yue also sat in a well-behaved manner, not eating or moving. p>
After a brief chat over a stick of incense, the maid came over and said that everything was ready and we could go.
Wang stood up and said to Cheng Xuet:
"It's rare for me to take a break today, so we'll join in the fun. I heard that you're a good cook, and Qinglin was full of praise for your stewed fish. I wonder if we'll have a chance to taste it today."
"My lady, you are so complimentary. It's just a fish stew from a farmer's house. If you and Mr. Xiao don't mind it, the women of the country will naturally be happy with it."
Not to mention fish stew, just stew her herself!
I am worried that I have nowhere to use my strength. If possible, let Barry take the keys home and buy some things along the way...
Well, there should be enough time.
Arriving at the front yard, Cheng Xue found Xiao Qinglin who was alone, took out the money and keys from her arms and handed them to him.
"Ask Barry to go to my house quickly. The table, chairs and sign are in the outer room of the main house. You can see them when you open the door. There is dipping sauce in the small jar. Remember to ask him to bring it over. Then ask him to find a way to buy some beef and mutton.
, he knows what he ate yesterday, let him buy whatever he wants."
Xiao Qinglin understood that she was making up for not bringing anything, but he couldn't blame her. It was because he said "nothing is lacking" and he was not allowed to bring anything.
After Bai Rui set out early in the morning, his second uncle and second aunt told him that they were coming to Zhuangzi, which caught him off guard.
Fortunately, my brother and sister-in-law wrote down some tips for doing business, and he helped smooth things over, so it wouldn't be so embarrassing.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, it's all because of me..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Cheng Xue shaking her head——
"Now is not the time to apologize. Let Barry go and arrange things. Besides, you are not wrong. In fact, it is... that's all. Don't mention it. Let Barry arrange it. Can your brother do it in front of your second uncle?
Straighten up and look at my sister-in-law's meal."
"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll let Barry go." Xiao Qinglin ran away after saying that.
Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief, wanted to mutter twice, and finally left in a hurry.
The people who had been hiding in the dark and observing quietly left at this moment.
I went back to the rockery, knelt down on one knee, and said everything I just heard.
"...That's it. After the eldest young master left, Li Sheng's wife also left."
"Did you follow along, or did you stop for a moment?"
"Replying to the master, I paused for a moment."
Hearing such an answer, Xiao Feng couldn't make up his mind for a moment. Could it be that the woman discovered the guard?
No, it shouldn’t be. No matter how weak the guard’s skills are, it’s not something a village woman can detect.
But why not just leave?
If she left directly, he would completely let go of his prejudices at this moment. But this didn't happen...
"Master, it's time to set off."
Xiao Feng looked at his wife, waved to her, and told her exactly what the guard had just said.
"...Yun'er, why did Li Hui's wife pause for a moment?"
After being married for many years, Wang immediately guessed the entanglement in her husband's heart. However, being so concerned about a village woman also shows that her husband is cautious and meticulous.
"Is the master afraid that she will be depressed and harmful to Qinglin?"
"We have to be on guard!" Xiao Feng sighed, held her shoulders and walked out, "If she deliberately muttered a few words, I think her intentions are quite obvious, and there is no basis for it. But now..."
"Master, do you think it's possible that she is thinking about how to cook this meal?"
