Liu Huifang jumped off the donkey cart, ran a few steps and grabbed Yu Xiaocao's hand, with a sincere and beautiful smile: "I saw your Xiao Hei in the woods a few days ago, and I knew you must be fast I’m back. The water and soil in Beijing really nourish people, look at your delicate skin and tender flesh, I thought my skin was fair in the village, but when I stand with you, it’s hard to see that it’s covered with black charcoal!”
"It's okay, my brother doesn't think you're black, so it's okay?" At some point, Yu Hang and Sister Huifang saw each other, and when my mother asked someone to write the letter for me, she made a point of mentioning it.
Uncle Shuanzhu has the closest relationship with his father, and the whole family has good conduct. Sister Huifang is quick-tempered and capable, and has a good relationship with him. Yu Xiaocao approves of her being his sister-in-law. From the letter, it can be seen that the Yu family is very satisfied with her. If it weren't for the fact that the two children were still young, Mrs. Liu would have come to propose marriage to her son long ago. For such a good girl, of course she has to act first.
Liu Huifang, who was teased by the little sister, suddenly blushed, gave her a hard look, and said disobediently: "If you don't speak well again, I will ignore you!"
"Why didn't I talk properly? People don't tell the truth these days! Sigh, the future sister-in-law is so difficult to serve, and my sister-in-law will suffer in the future." Yu Xiaocao shook her head and sighed, her eyes full of playful light.
Liu Huifang showed embarrassment, and raised her hand to pat her on the shoulder, but was stopped by a hand. As soon as she raised her eyes, she met a pair of warning gazes. Liu Huifang looked at Xiaocao in surprise and asked, "Who is she?"
Wu Tong hurriedly freed her hand from Qiu Shi's, and said with a smile: "Miss Liu, this is all a misunderstanding! Qiu Shi is responsible for the safety of our lady, and she is also a heart to protect the Lord. Qiu Shi, Miss Liu Don't be too nervous! The folks in Dongshan Village either watched our lady grow up, or grew up with our lady. No one will hurt her, you guys, you can let her go Take it easy!" Now she has long since lost her previous insolence, and has a good attitude towards her young lady's friends.
Qiu Shi looked at his master, and saw that she nodded slightly in agreement with Wu Tong's words, so he let go of Liu Huifang's hand, and said succinctly, "I'm sorry!"
Liu Huifang saw Chunhua behind Qiushi and Xiaocao, his eyes were bright, his figure was tall and straight, and he looked very powerful. He lightly pestered Xiaocao with his arm, and said with a smile: "Yo! Sure enough, he was promoted to princess It’s just different, the specifications have been increased, and there are female guards with them!”
Xiaocao winked at her, and said: "No matter how powerful the princess is, the princess's sister-in-law will overwhelm her. The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, so I'm going to suck up to you now, and you can treat me better in the future."
"Nonsense again!" Liu Huifang twisted her little arm lightly, but this time the two maidservants did not stop her.
"Okay! Don't be shy, come home with me, I have something good for you!" Yu Xiaocao, as before, was holding Sister Huifang's arm, and the two sisters were talking and laughing as they walked towards their own compound go. I was delayed in Fucheng and Tanggu for a few days, and the convoy to deliver the gifts should have arrived earlier.
Liu Shuanzhu smiled and watched Xiaocao "rob" her daughter away, said hello to Mrs. Liu, and drove the mule cart back home. Seeing that the father and father went out together, and only the man came back, Shuanzhu's wife asked casually, "Where's Huifang?"
"The little grass girl from the Yu family has come back and called her home. She said she has a gift for our daughter." Liu Shuanzhu untied the animals from the car, tied them to the barn, and got some fodder to feed them.
Shuanzhu's daughter-in-law, who was drying clothes, paused for a moment, with a frown on her face. Seeing his daughter-in-law sighing repeatedly, Liu Shuanzhu asked, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter? Is that boy Tie Dan mad at you? See how I deal with him! Tie Dan, come out for me!!"
"My son is practicing big characters, what are you shouting for?" Shuanzhu's wife gave him a blank look and said, "Tie Daner is a good boy, and he works hard in school. The teacher of the school said that he can try the Rongxuan exam in the spring. The enlightenment class of the academy."
"Sir, did you really say that? This boy, I really look good on him! After entering Rongxuan Academy, I dare not say anything else. I will definitely pass the exam as a scholar. By then, our family will also have a master scholar!" Liu Shuanzhu grinned wide, showing a smug smile.
"Father, what did you ask me to do?" Tie Dan'er came out of his room, holding a brush dipped in ink in his hand.
Liu Shuanzhu patted his son on the shoulder, his grin widened, and he said loudly: "It's okay! Work hard!! I don't know if your brother Shitou will come back for the Spring Festival. Then let him tell you the skills of the exam and try to get into the honorary exam." Xuan Academy wins glory for the old Liu family."
There was a smile on Tie Danyuan's face, and he said: "Brother Shitou will definitely come back, because he is the most attached to Sister Xiaocao, and Sister Xiaocao will return to the village for the New Year this year. Brother Shitou will not miss this opportunity. Father, you Don't worry, my son will study hard and prepare for Rongxuan Academy!"
"Good son! Go, go practice your calligraphy!" Liu Shuanzhu felt that his son's cleverness followed him. When he was a child, his family had no conditions, otherwise he would be a scholar!
Turning around, seeing his wife's unhappy expression, he asked strangely: "Since it's not your son who made you unhappy, why do you keep making such a face? What's the matter?"
"I'm worried about our daughter!" Shuan Zhu's daughter-in-law glared at her man. This man is good in everything, but his heart is too generous!
Liu Shuanzhu was even more strange, and asked in confusion: "My daughter? What's wrong with my daughter? If she hadn't insisted on raising chickens, our family would have a good life now? My daughter is so capable, what else do you have to worry about?"
"I'm talking about Huifang and Xiaosha!!" Shuanzhu's daughter-in-law threw the clothes in her hand into the tub, and stared at the man with a straight face.
At the beginning, the stewed chicken, smoked chicken, and wind-style chicken sold well in the stewed vegetable shop in Yujiafu City. The Yu family was kind and kind, and would rather travel more to take care of the livelihood of the villagers. The Liu family raises the most chickens in the village, so they send a batch of chickens every few days. Yu Hang helped to settle the accounts, after coming and going, he became acquainted with Huifang. With more and more business contacts between the two, the two secretly fell in love and came together naturally.
Liu Shuanzhu scratched the back of his head, frowned, and said, "What's wrong with my daughter and Xiaosha? Is Xiaosha making our daughter unhappy? I'll teach him a lesson and let him know that our daughter doesn't want to be bullied!" Then he walked out the door.
"Come back to me!!" Shuanzhu's daughter-in-law felt helpless in her heart, pointing out that he could guess her own thoughts, and guessed that the sun would come out from the west, "I mean...Xiaocao is now the princess. Daughter is equal. Besides, in the past two years, the Yu family’s business has grown bigger and bigger. Not to mention, the vegetables in the greenhouse alone must have tens of thousands of taels of silver in one winter, right? Our family, although it can be counted in the village , but the gap with others is too big, right?"
"Daughter-in-law, do you mean that you are afraid that our daughter will be looked down upon when she enters the Yu family? Don't worry, Brother Dahai and sister-in-law are not like that! Xiaosha also grew up under our noses, and her character is absolutely trustworthy." !!"
Liu Shuanzhu felt that his daughter-in-law was thinking too much, and Yu's sister-in-law was not so satisfied with his daughter, and she even said that after the New Year, she would make arrangements for the two children in advance. If his family is not willing, they can get married two years later.
"But... the difference in status between our two families is too great. I heard that Xiaocao was not only made princess, but also the emperor and empress treated her very well, and she was about to be treated as a daughter. The eldest prince even called her sister one by one. She..." Shuan Zhu's daughter-in-law was a little worried about gains and losses.
Liu Shuanzhu also frowned, and said: "Little grass girl is lucky. However, Xiaocao is Xiaocao, and Xiaosha is Xiaosha... Brother Dahai said that Xiaoshitou will be tested for fame in the future. Tang Gu's The property of Zhuangzi and Dongshan Village will be left to Xiaosha to inherit. The house in Dongshan Village is their root, and the eldest son has to stay at home. In this way, Huifang can be regarded as watching under our noses. Don't worry? Besides, that girl Xiaocao doesn't have eyes on the top of her head, she saw our daughter today, I don't know how affectionate she is!"
"But I always feel uneasy in my heart." After being told by the man, Shuan Zhu's daughter-in-law felt a lot brighter. yes! The Yu family is a well-known kind family in the village. The head of the Yu family almost grew up wearing the same pair of pants as her man. The sister-in-law of the Yu family has a good temper and is very satisfied with her daughter. The key is that Xiao Sha is a capable and reliable kid, so what else do you have to worry about
"Mother, when my brother passes the exam and becomes an official, he will be able to support my sister." The youngest daughter of the Liu family was obediently peeling peanuts in the yard, but when she heard the conversation between her parents, she interjected in a childlike voice. One sentence.
Liu Shuanzhu lifted the little girl up, held her high, and laughed loudly: "Our little Ya'er is right! When your brother becomes an official, I will find you a son-in-law who will be an official!"
Shuanzhu's wife saved her daughter from the man, glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not afraid to take my daughter into the ditch!"
Xiao Ya'er pinched a peanut and stuffed it into his father's mouth, muttering, "I don't want to be an official's son-in-law."
Liu Shuanzhu chewed the peanuts, laughed, and asked, "Then what kind of son-in-law does Ya'er want to find?"
Xiao Ya'er puffed her white and tender bun face, frowned and thought for a long time, and said in distress: "I want to find someone who can do it, just like... Sister Xiaocao, who can do everything! If Sister Xiaocao is a man , Ya’er must marry her!!”
"Okay! In the future, Dad will find you a capable person!!" Liu Shuanzhu was amused by his daughter's childish words. Shuanzhu's daughter-in-law shook her head repeatedly, saying that the child was shameless and dared to say anything.
The couple were teasing their children at home, and their eldest daughter had already sat on the kang in Xiaocao's boudoir, staring at a set of exquisite wooden boxes on the kang with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief: "This set of 'Hua Xiangrong' The skin care products... are for me?"
