At that moment, he dug out the set of ruby jewelry and tried it on for Duan Xinqi. Xiang Yun said beside him: "The color of ruby is noble and bright, and it is always worn by a lady to show dignity and grace. The girl's dress like this makes this set of jewelry lively, and it matches with that suit of clothes, bright and tight."

"Would it be too eye-catching?" Duan Xinqi looked at himself in the mirror, feeling like a deer in his heart. Is that noble and bright girl in the mirror himself? I can't believe it. It's just that she also has her worries. Years of invisible life have made her not used to such a shining self.

"It's eye-catching. You are the only girl in this generation in our house, and you're at the age to discuss marriage. Naturally, you have to dress up beautifully."

Duan Xinqi was taken aback, and then his eyes slowly became moist. She is thirteen years old this year. Girls of this age among the nobles have indeed reached the age to discuss marriage. After all, it is not so easy to find a desirable husband. Sometimes it takes several years to fail, which is common. . Therefore, ladies of the same age as her should start to expand their circle of contacts at this time, only her, because no one takes her affairs to heart, so except for her mother who is secretly anxious, no one will do it for her Think about it. She knew that even if Mrs. and Mrs. Min would think of it occasionally, it would probably be the idea of "it's not something special, just find someone with the right family and get rid of it when you get old". Unexpectedly, this sister-in-law seems to only care about eating, but she has already planned for herself to this extent.

"Sister-in-law." Duan Xinqi leaned against Su Nuannuan, choked up and said, "How old am I? Why worry? At that time, I only need my sister-in-law to help me. If I can't find a satisfactory one, that's even better. Be an old girl at home. Be with my aunt and sister-in-law. Anyway, the big brother will have the final say in the future of this family, and my sister-in-law will definitely not drive me away."

"Of course. Our second girl is so beautiful and has such a good character. If you can't find someone you want, even if my aunt is willing, I won't send you out to be spoiled by that stinky man. Don't worry. Home is always home. It’s your safe haven. It’s just that I inquired about it while chatting with your brother a few days ago. It seems that there are many young and talented people in the capital. Don't make such a futile idea."

Su Nuannuan tidied Duan Xinqi's hair, then looked up and down, then took her hand and looked at the pair of bracelets in a daze. Suddenly someone outside the door said with a smile: "I thought my sister was busy today, so I came here specially to help. I didn't expect the second girl to arrive earlier than me."

While talking, Aunt Jing stepped in, she is now a frequent visitor of Chunfengyuan, so the maids did not notify her to stop her.

Su Nuannuan saw her. He smiled and said: "My younger sister is the best at dressing up. Come and help me take a look. I think the second younger sister looks good. Only the bracelet doesn't seem to match. You can see how it's turned upside down. Today Many dukes and noble ladies are coming. Naturally, the little girl must shine."

Aunt Jing was startled at first, but when she heard the last sentence, she understood Su Nuannuan's meaning, looked at it with a smile, nodded and said: "It's rare that she has a beautiful appearance in her cardamom years, and she behaves dignifiedly and speaks dignifiedly. Only the second girl can wear it. The best thing is this set of ruby jewelry, which is shining brightly and adds a lot of color. As for this wrist..." After pondering for a while, Fang smiled and said: "Yes, if the whole body is covered with Using rubies is a bit vulgar, but this jade bracelet is not good, but the bracelet with a string of red coral is not bad."

Su Nuannuan said: "I've never liked coral, so I really don't have coral jewelry. Honglian, you take the key and go to your master's warehouse to see if there is a red coral bracelet..."

Before finishing speaking, Duan Xinqi said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, don't touch brother's private treasury, this is already very good, how can there be such a perfect thing?"

Aunt Jing also laughed and said: "Teacher Taixing has mobilized a lot of people to let people know, and he has to chew his tongue. Although my sister is not afraid, I have to think about it for my aunt and second girl. It just so happens that the skewer in my hand is last year's birthday. Although I dare not say that it is very expensive, but it is not vulgar, the second girl does not dislike it, so she can wear it."

After finishing speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and took off the bracelet on her wrist. Su Nuannuan took a look and saw that this string of red coral was bright and lustrous. For your birthday, can Master give you something ordinary? Forget it, you will wear this string for your second sister, and I will ask Master to give you something you like later on."

Duan Xinqi was terrified, but Aunt Jing said with a smile: "Put it on, Grandma is right, this is the time for you to dress up. We are all old days, so we just need to adapt to the occasion." Seeing that the little girl refused after speaking, she stomped her foot and said, "Second sister is unreasonable, don't you see what I mean? You forced me to say that I just wanted to steal another set of jewelry from grandma. Can you accept it?"

This sentence made everyone laugh, Duan Xinqi also relaxed a lot. Aunt Jing couldn't help but help her put on the bracelet, then looked around and said, "Is there nothing wrong? Then let's hurry up. By the way, I gave the old lady the flower arrangement yesterday afternoon. Grandma sees if the old lady likes it?"

"I like it, why don't you like it? The old lady especially likes that flower basket, and said that the two of us will be ingenious. Tomorrow's big flower basket will be placed in the main hall. I don't know how many people will be envious."

"That's all grandma's idea. What's wrong with me? Even the flower baskets were made by you after drawing them."

The three of them went into the kitchen while talking, and seeing only Honglian and Xiangyun coming in, Aunt Jing said: "Sister-in-law, be careful when making that ice cream in the future. The second grandma has actually come to my room several times in the past few days. The inside and outside of the words are talking about ice cream, I think something is wrong, so I will remind you."

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart." Su Nuannuan dragged out the two noodle bags with a smile: "Let's make chiffon cake today, and you keep this secret recipe a secret. If you can use these to make money in the future, you will be indispensable." the benefits of."

"Chiffon cake?" Even Aunt Jing's eyes were a little bright, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I really don't know where grandma came up with these wonderful ideas, what is this chiffon cake? I've never heard of it. "

"In the future, you will know that I have a lot of wonderful ideas, what is this?" After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, she mixed dozens of catties of flour in the bag and poured them into several large basins. Duan Xinqi looked strange here, and hurriedly said: "What's so special about these two bags of noodles?"

"One is flour, the other is starch, mixed together, it is low-gluten flour. You must use low-gluten flour to make cakes, so that it will be soft and delicious..."

Su Nuannuan explained while instructing everyone to prepare according to her instructions. In my previous life, I loved reading time-travel novels, so I often wondered how to make these snacks once I travel back to ancient times. For this reason, I checked a lot of information. Fortunately, whether it is modern bubble powder or tartar powder, although it was not available in ancient times, there are alternative ingredients, but it is troublesome to make, so she has not done it until Duan Tingxuan mentioned On the birthday of Mrs. Fang, Su Nuannuan decided to use the birthday cake as a birthday gift for the old lady. It was not to please the old lady, but just hoped that she would have a happy birthday.

After a busy day, all the materials were prepared, and several people were at a loss. Suddenly, they heard Duan Tingxuan's voice from outside, saying that the young master came down and wanted to have breakfast.

For breakfast, there is only porridge with steamed buns and steamed buns, which are cooked by Honglian, and the rest is fermented bean curd and pickled vegetables and salted eggs. Su Nuannuan sneakily fried a dry tofu egg, which has already moved the young master.

After a hasty meal, the women got busy again. Duan Tingxuan also wanted to enter the kitchen, but was driven out by Su Nuannuan, who heard her say: "Give me a rest early, what day is today? You don't go to help the reception Guest, hang out here with us? Is there any difference between size and weight?"

Before he finished speaking, Cong Er said outside: "Master, the third master came over and said that the master knew you were here, but it's just such a life, you don't need to supervise what the grandma is doing, it's important to go to the front to treat the guests, it's time to work." , Jinxiang Hou Changsheng Hou Shou Ningbo are all here."

"Life is unsatisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spread out boats."

Duan Tingxuan looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and left the room depressed, his wife laughed like a silver bell: "Listen, he still complains about his dissatisfaction, under what circumstances did Li Taibai write this poem? Can you compare with him? It’s really greed that deserves to be struck by lightning.”

It happened that Duan Tingfang was standing outside the door, just looking at his face, Duan Tingxuan knew that the third younger brother had listened to his wife's words, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, coughing: "Your sister-in-law has such a temperament, don't you care."

Duan Tingfang's face was flushed, and after talking for a long time, he still couldn't vomit, because he couldn't help but said: "What should I care about? The elder brother should be the one who cares."

"Third brother, are you also so honest in the school?" Duan Tingxuan stared at the third brother "fiercely", but saw the third master Duan chuckle: "How could it be? If I were so honest in the school, I would have been beaten by the gang."

The temper of the third child... seems to have changed a lot. It's strange, he hasn't been influenced by Nuan Nuan, so how could he be black

Duan Tingxuan was thinking angrily, he did not expect that the reason why Duan Tingfang would have such a change was due to the good pens, inks and inkstones he gave from time to time. Although Third Master Duan was aloof, his elder brother always gave him something to talk to him. He obviously didn't take him seriously as before, so he naturally developed a little affection for him. Still longing for care. It is also fortunate that Su Nuannuan came here through time travel. When the young man's three views were not completely distorted, he let the young master intervene in time to reverse it. Otherwise, once a withdrawn and awkward temperament develops, it will be difficult to reverse it in the future.
