Chapter 23 Mid-Autumn Festival

Seeing that the Zhang family opened the door, Mr. Cheng Er was overjoyed and pulled Liu Pu over.

"My grandfather is not at home." When the concierge saw it, he immediately narrowed his eyes and said with a face.

Liar!

The three people outside the door shouted in their hearts.

But he didn't dare to shout out.

"Old man, you see we have been here several times..." Mr. Cheng Er said respectfully and with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, the little maid made a sound and hurried over to salute him.

"Master, are you here too?" she called.

master?

Mr. Cheng Er was stunned for a moment and looked at the maid in front of him.

Call me?

Before he spoke, Liu Pu was stunned and then overjoyed, looking at him with a bit of surprise.

"Sir, it turns out that a little maid in your family can enter and leave the old man's house. It's so strange." He said loudly, his Shaanxi-Gansu accent became thicker, which made Mr. Cheng's ears buzz.

A little maid in my family can enter and leave the teacher's old house like this!

My little maid!

Mrs. Zhang picked up the tea cup.

Liu Pu and Master Cheng stood up knowingly.

"The students have resigned." they said respectfully.

Mrs. Zhang hummed.

Mr. Cheng Er and Liu Pu exited the Zhang family's old house.

"Brother Zigu, thank you very much this time." Liu Pu said with an excited expression.

"Brother Yukun, I don't dare to take this seriously." Mr. Cheng's face was a little stiff, but he still squeezed out a smile and said.

"So, I have to go on my way. I can't have a drink with my brother. I will never come back drunk if I have the chance." Liu Pu said, reaching out and patting Master Cheng Er's arm.

Liu Pu practiced martial arts when he was young, and joined Zhang Chun's disciples halfway. Although he was studying, he never put down his kung fu. This slap slapped Mr. Cheng Er on the arm, which made Mr. Cheng grit his teeth in pain, but he was happy in his heart.

With this incident, he was related to the Liu family in Tongzhou.

Especially when leaving, Liu Pu asked him carefully about his future career. He was thoughtful after hearing this, but said nothing and left with a smile.

"It's done?"

Mrs. Cheng Er asked puzzledly, taking the cloak that her husband had taken off.

"Liu Yukun is a man of rough and tumble, so he must write a letter to his uncle. With the teacher's recommendation and the help of Bachelor Liu, if this thing doesn't work out, then I will just resign and return to the field." Cheng Er

The master smiled.

Mrs. Cheng Er was very happy to be able to achieve good results, and she also hoped that her husband would earn a title of wife in the future.

"Then this time is really great. I have to thank Mr. Zhang." She asked with a smile.

Speaking of this, Mr. Cheng's expression became sluggish.

Thank you, Mrs. Zhang, for letting me in?

but..

"The old man's favor is not to reward me." He sat down, with a somewhat unclear feeling, "She is a little maid of our family."

When the concierge at that time heard the maid calling him Master, the expression on his face immediately changed. When he heard him saying hello again, he didn't close the door directly like before, but said to go in and ask. After asking for a while, he said "Please"

They entered.

Mr. Cheng Er knew very well that he was indebted to the little maid.

"Little maid?" Mrs. Cheng Er was puzzled.

Master Cheng Er told the story, and the expression on Mrs. Cheng Er's face was not much better than his.

"At that time, I couldn't ask who she was, and I didn't know what her name was." Mr. Cheng Er said, "Call all the girls at home and let me see which one she is."

"How can our maid walk around freely and enter and leave other people's homes?" Mrs. Cheng Er said, "Master, did you hear wrongly?"

That's right too.

"Then you are not a maid at home?" Master Cheng Er said.

Not from home? Where is it from?

The couple were confused.

"Madam, you are indeed right, my husband is really not an ordinary person."

The girl put down the basket and said hurriedly.

"I actually saw the master there today." She said, noticing the cold wind blowing, she hurriedly went back and closed the door.

Cheng Jiaoniang put down her book and looked at her and said, "Oh."

"The master is very respectful in front of the father-in-law's door." The girl said with a smile, unable to conceal the excitement on her brows, "If the father-in-law tells the master to let us go back, the master will definitely obey."

"Go back?" Cheng Jiaoniang looked at her, "It's so easy for me to come out, but I still have to be at ease now, so why do I go back?"

"Madam." The girl was a little nervous. She knelt down a few steps forward and held Cheng Jiaoniang's knees. "Although we live here, you don't want to have any thoughts of converting."

The corners of Cheng Jiaoniang's mouth curved.

"Practice is practiced everywhere in life, and I won't stick to any one place." She said, reaching out and patting the girl's hand, "Don't worry, don't think about those things. Get up first and teach you some dried fruits you know."

Let's go with those fairies to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, so they can use it to worship the moon."

The girl responded yes.

"Madam, tell me what you want to eat, and we'll enjoy the moon while eating." She said happily.

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and said hello.

"The mountains here are high and the air is cool. It is a good place to enjoy the moon. It may not be so pleasant at home." She said, looking outside the door, where the rustling bamboo forest looked elegant and contented.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, like thousands of other households, the Cheng family was very lively with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The children returned from going to the street to enjoy the lanterns, and worshiped the moon under the leadership of Mrs. Cheng. After worshiping the moon, the family gathered together to eat and drink and admire the moon. Cheng Liuniang showed off the flower art. Cheng Wuniang and Cheng Liuniang presented a pair of embroidered shoes to Mrs. Cheng. Cheng Qiniang sketched a pair of embroidered shoes.

In the moon picture, a family is laughing and chatting happily.

While Mrs. Cheng was talking in a low voice to some old servants, there was a noise at the table where her daughters were sitting. It turned out that a servant girl had broken a plate.

This kind of matter does not need Mrs. Cheng to come forward, it will be handled by the lady in charge. The lady in charge had to go over and scold him in a low voice. The servant woman had already knelt down to pick it up. As she knelt down, a few more balls rolled out of her arms.

Slippery fruit.

"Oh, you seek death, you sneaked here." A servant girl standing close screamed.

This voice made everyone look over. They didn't understand what was going on for a while, but everyone heard the stolen word.

Mrs. Cheng's face darkened and she glanced at Mrs. Cheng.

"She's not stealing." Cheng Qiniang on the other side shouted at this time, "This is the mother in front of me."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Cheng even looked at Mrs. Cheng with a bad expression.

"Nowadays, can such a person come to serve me?" she asked.

Anyone who can serve in front of you is naturally a respectable person. To do such a thing is to let others know how to run the family.

"My wife is at fault." Mrs. Cheng lowered her head and said.

"No, grandma." Cheng Qiniang shouted, standing up, "She didn't steal anything, I asked her to get some for me to eat when I get back."

"No, no, it's because the servant is in debt, because the servant is greedy and wants to steal some fruits. She doesn't care about the Seventh Lady." The servant woman panicked when she heard this and kowtowed hurriedly.

This kind of rush to admit guilt is abnormal.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Mrs. Cheng with a gloomy look on her face. She put the tea bowl in her hand on the table with a clatter, which was particularly harsh in the silence. (To be continued)
