"Isn't this... too exaggerated?" Yu Xiaocao didn't expect that her newly built house would have the potential of being an "upstart". Such a courtyard is considered luxurious in the ancient capital of Tang Dynasty, let alone in this small fish village
Zhu Junyang, who came in after her, didn't take it seriously: "Although it can't compare to the house bought in Beijing, it's still not satisfactory!"
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you know what is written on this house?"
"What did you write? Fangfu? Why didn't you see it?" Zhu Junyang looked puzzled, did he miss it
"It says 'I'm rich' in big shiny characters, haven't you seen it? We only have a few people in our family, and we built such a big house, so we won't talk about the daily cleaning. It's not obvious to tell people' I have money, hurry up and grab it!' Next time if you come to pirates or something, you must come straight to our house!" Yu Xiaocao was speechless.
Zhu Junyang thought that she was worried about the safety of her family, and said in a big way: "It's okay, I will send you a few more nursing homes! As for the daily cleaning, do you still lack money to buy a few servants? If you don't I'm willing, the Lord has done this for you!"
"It's not a matter of money or not! I'm afraid of what the people in the village think!" Originally, everyone's family background was similar, and when the Yu family first separated, it was not even as good as many families in the village. Now it looks like a landlord and tyrant. Isn't this arousing hatred
Zhu Junyang tapped her on the head with his fingers, and said: "You think that if you make the house like others, no one will whisper about you behind your back? If nothing else, just relying on the nearly thousand acres of fertile land in the town, you can still pay for it." A business with a vegetable greenhouse is enough to make people jealous! If you want to put an end to the jealousy of others, you must widen the absolute gap and make yourself the object that everyone can only look up to forever, which is unattainable!"
The reason is very simple, if you want to stay in a high position and not be pulled down, you have to climb to the clouds where no one can touch. Let those who are envious, jealous, and jealous become afraid of envy and jealous, leaving only envy and admiration!
Yu Xiaocao is not a dull person, after being touched by him, he immediately understood. The Yu family now is not what it used to be. Dad had a seventh-rank official position on him, and he was reused by the emperor, and he was also given the title of county head. Even if it is more high-profile, it is taken for granted in the eyes of others. If you keep a low profile, you may be talked about by others as pretending to be poor. Why bother
The scene at the entrance of the village just now flashed through her mind. The friendly or indifferent faces in the past are now replaced by fawning and smirking, and even Aunt Yangfan, who has a relatively close relationship, has added a bit of care in her intimacy. Perhaps, before she knew it, she and the Yu family had already become a superior existence in Dongshan Village. The past will never come again, but the one who comes can be expected...
"Daughter-in-law of the sea! Xiao Lian! Let's see who's back!!" Lao Yutou started to yell as soon as he entered the door. From his broad steps and loud voice, it can be seen that Lao Yutou has been in good health for the past two years. Be strong!
Liu Shi and Xiao Lian, who were tidying up the greenhouse in the backyard, heard a faint sound, and came out of the backyard in a hurry before they could wash off the dirt on their hands. Seeing Xiaocao, Mrs. Liu couldn't control her emotions, she came up and hugged her daughter, and said with tears in her eyes, "I'm finally back! I lost weight..."
"Mom...you've got my sister's clothes covered in mud!" Xiao Lian's nose was also sour. The little girl who was as thin as a cat had grown into a slim girl! Although she was only a few minutes away from her little sister, she had always played the role of protector since she was a child. The little girl who was judged to be unable to support her at the beginning could not grow up like this without her credit.
"It's okay, isn't it just a suit of clothes? It's fine to wash it if it's dirty! Mom, I miss you!" Yu Xiaocao noticed Liu's hesitation for a moment, and hurriedly hugged her back, pinching her throat and acting like a baby. Cats begging to be petted.
Wutong behind Xiaocao pouted in his heart: Miss, it's very hateful for you to say that, okay? There are so many ladies from famous families in Beijing, and they can't get the clothes embroidered by Mrs. Jiang's own hands. It's better for you to say "it's just a suit of clothes". What can I do for those self-proclaimed noble ladies
To say that seeing the little girl in silk and satin just now made Liu Shi feel a little strange, but now the little man acting like a baby in her arms made her find the familiar grass again. She wiped the dirt from her hands on her clothes, patted her little daughter on the back, and said with a smile, "Are you tired? Go into the house and rest on the kang. Mother will make you mutton stewed noodles. It's cold to eat." This is just right!"
As he said that, he pulled his daughter into the house and sat down, then went out again to help her make lunch. From the beginning to the end, Dangniang only had her daughter in her eyes, and a person as old as Yangjun Wang was so ignored.
Prince Yang: ...
However, in front of his future mother-in-law, he would not dare to show the king's profile. The road to chasing his wife is long, the county king still needs to work hard!
"Xiao Lian! Have you not eaten well in the past six months? I am already taller than you!" Yu Xiaocao and Xiao Lian looked at each other, hugged each other and started laughing and playing.
The two sisters were close enough that Xiao Lian found out that the Yangjun King who had been left out in the cold, became a little cautious: "Junwang, you are here too? What kind of tea do you want? Let the girls go make it..."
"I only drink tea made by Xiaocao herself!" Although Xiaocao's twin sister, Xiaolian, looks very similar to her, Zhu Junyang can clearly feel the difference between the two. Don't talk about appearance, just give him the impression that Xiaocao's breath is cleaner and purer. Facing others, this fellow returned to his arrogant appearance.
Yu Xiaocao didn't even look at him, and pulled Xiao Lian to sit down again: "Don't pay attention to him, the tea and hot water are on the table, does he like to drink or not!"
"Is this... not good? After all, he is the prince of the county!" Xiao Lian still had a little fear in her heart towards the prince of Yang with an uncertain expression.
Yu Xiaocao lay comfortably on the hot kang, picked up the fried pumpkin seeds on the kang table, and ate comfortably: "It's okay! You are not outsiders, so don't be restrained. Besides, he is the king of the county, and I am the head of the county." !snort-"
Zhu Junyang looked helplessly at the "proud" little girl, shook his head and smiled softly. Rejecting Manager Liu's kindness to help him make tea, he picked up the hot water with his own hands and made a cup of hot tea for himself and Yu Xiaocao. Yu Xiaocao took the tea with a smile on her face, and took a sip happily—man, you can't be used to it!
"Hey! You little one!! Where did you come from? You've made yourself so miserable!!" Yu Xiaocao saw a gray little thing coming in from the door, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be A little roe deer covered in mud.
Hearing Xiaocao's voice, the little roe deer jumped in excitedly, raised its front legs, and was about to run up the kang, but was hugged by Erya who came in behind it.
"Miss, you're back. I miss Erya so much!! You won't leave Erya behind and go back to the capital when you come back this time, right?" road.
Yu Xiaocao looked at her and said with a smile, "Erya, you've grown taller and fatter! Don't worry, I came back from the capital this time to take my family to the capital to celebrate the New Year!"
"That's great! Erya actually has the chance to go to the capital in this life, isn't this servant dreaming?" Before Erya came in, she probably planted vegetables in the backyard, and the muddy water all over her body was not much cleaner than that of a little roe deer. In addition, her appearance is ordinary, her skin is slightly dark, and her whole person is gray, giving her the feeling of a wild girl in the country.
Wu Tong pouted, and said in a neutral voice: "Miss said, this time I came back to pick up 'family' to go to the capital for the New Year. Who are you, dare to call Miss's family?"
Erya took a look at Wutong and Yingchun, who were dressed more beautifully than Xiaojiabiyu in the town. She tugged at the clothes on her body with a little shame, moved closer to Xiaocao, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, these two sisters and sister Cherry Same, is it also the girl you brought back from the capital?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Yu Xiaocao glanced at Wutong lightly, and asked with a smile to the honest girl in front of her.
"Are all the girls in the capital so good? Sister Cherry scolds Erya as soon as they meet, and this sister does too!" Erya felt a little wronged. The same girl, why bully honest people
Indus, who was glared at by the lady, also felt wronged. She said eagerly: "Miss, this girl has not been trained. How can she serve you by your side? She is not qualified to be a third-class little girl!"
"No one is born capable of everything! As a senior, you don't know how to teach her? Erya is the girl I bought back, nothing else, loyalty can be guaranteed!" Yu Xiaocao pointed out.
Indus was even more wronged: man! You must not make mistakes, or you may not be able to make up for it all your life! However, miss, the servant will let you see the change of the servant, and she will definitely not have her own little thoughts like before!
Zhu Junyang was quietly drinking the wild tea fried by Xiaocao himself. At this time, he raised his eyes to look at Wutong, and lowered his eyes again. The maidservants around the little grass girl are pretty good, at least they are in the right mind. This man named Wutong may have had other thoughts in the past, but now he is infected by the little girl's "charm of personality" and has "reformed evil". Let's use it for now, if it's not suitable, just find an excuse to dismiss it someday.
When the hot mutton stewed noodles were served, Mrs. Liu saw that there was a big man in the room. Startled for a moment, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, thank you for sending Caoer back! You can use the mutton stewed noodles first, and I will cook a few more dishes..."
Zhu Junyang screamed up to the sky in his heart: How can you say that he is about 1.8 meters tall, so the sense of existence is so low? Ignore both of them? However, he didn't have the guts to question his future mother-in-law right now, so he said softly, "Aunt Yu, don't bother! The mutton stewed noodles are very good!!"
"Oh, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be..." What did the county prince call her just now? Aunt Yu? God! She is a village woman, how can she afford it
