Since Wang Xifeng lived in Jia's mansion, apart from teaching his younger brother to read and write, Yuan Chun spent most of his weekdays with Wang Xifeng, talking and laughing, doing needlework, or watching flowers and scenery.But in two or three days, I walked around the Rongguo Mansion, making Jiamu smile every day, making Jiamu repeatedly say that she would stay for a while longer.

In addition, Wang Xifeng dressed brightly every day, and walked around with Yuan Chun, because Yuan Chun liked to wear old clothes at home, but it seemed that Wang Xifeng was very distinguished in silk and satin.And because she always had a lot of silver in her hands when she was at home, even when she was in Jia's mansion, she was never small when she rewarded servants.But in a few days, everyone in the mansion praised the girl from my uncle's family for being generous and capable of being a human being.

"I can't go to the front. It's my crime to disturb the big brother's peace."

Yuan Chun held Wang Xifeng's arm with a smile, pointed to the porch to the east, and said with a smile, "You only hang out with me, you are not allowed to go south."

Wang Xifeng looked sideways at the room to the south, and saw a servant girl standing in front of that room, she looked upright, but a bit dull, she was curious.Hearing what Yuan Chun said again, I guessed in my heart that it must be the reason why Yuan Chun's brother Jia Zhu was studying here, because he said with a smile: "It's not the first time I've seen Cousin Zhu, we used to play together, but now it's good, I It’s been several days since I’ve been at your house, and I’ve never even seen Cousin Zhu’s face. Son, you’re still in a hurry to stop me, so what’s the reason? Cousin Zhu will do!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture to head south.

Yuan Chun quickly came up to pull her, and explained in a warm voice: "Where is it that I want to stop you, the original said that the big brother is busy studying and preparing for the exam all day, the master has already told him that next year he must come back from the next year. If we I'm afraid the master and wife will punish us for disturbing his study."

"Seeing how anxious you are, hey, I just said something in vain, but I provoked you to say so much. I thought it was something, so it was because of these bad reputations." Wang Xifeng said, squinting at Yuanchun, "No I said, how much older is my brother than cousin Zhu? Look at when he touched a book. My father never disciplined him. A good man has more than just an economic and official career. Why bother to make progress? It's not worth it if you lose your body."

After saying that, seeing Yuan Chunxiumei slightly frowned, with displeasure in her eyes, Wang Xifeng quickly changed his words with a smile and said, "But my brother has always been a soldier ruffian, and on weekdays he likes to hang out with those morons in the camp in Beijing, and He has nothing to say. Cousin Zhu started school at the age of 14, and my father said he was capable when he was at home. Oh, I don’t dare to disturb Cousin Zhu’s study. If you go to my house, there is no place to put my face."

"You!" Yuan Chun stretched out his finger and pointed at Wang Xifeng's smooth and plump forehead, seeing her charming and begging for mercy, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated immediately.He just smiled and said: "I also know that you are most impatient with reading, but reading is sensible and beneficial to your body and mind. I want you to read, read and write on weekdays, but you complain of a headache whenever you touch the book. I want to read it." See what to do if you marry someone and take care of the house in the future, and you can't even understand the account book."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng spat pretending to be ashamed: "Bah! You are still laughing at me! Don't you know that you are one year older than me, but I will make fun of you for being serious first!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, walked around the Rongxi Hall along the east corridor, sat in the garden for a while, and went back after dinner.

Wang Xifeng flattered Mrs. Wang a few more words, which made Mrs. Wang, who is not easy to joke, happy. Seeing the conversations of Zhou Rui's family, she made an excuse and said: "Since sister Zhou is here, I must ask my aunt to make up my mind. I dare not delay my aunt any longer, so I will go back."

"You poor-mouthed monkey, go back quickly and stop making me laugh."

Wang Xifeng responded with a smile, and saw that Zhou Rui's family really brought a few women in charge to answer, her phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and she was not in a hurry to go back to her room, but went to the small kitchen first.

"Hey, why did the cousin girl come here, and carefully dirty your clothes."

The small kitchen behind Mrs. Wang's mansion is separate, and the woman in charge, Wang Xifeng, also recognizes it. She used to accompany Mrs. Wang when she was at home, but now she is married to a small manager named Li Ming in Jia's mansion, who has been taking care of it all the time. Mrs. Wang's food.This time when Wang Xifeng came, she didn't need to pay for food and expenses, and Mrs. Wang ordered her to go out of the small kitchen.It's just that although Mrs. Wang told her, Wang Xifeng also ordered Feng'er to work diligently on weekdays, and the women in charge were willing to start a small stove for Wang Xifeng.Li Ming's family has been serving Mrs. Wang in the Wang family since childhood, and when they saw the uncle's daughter coming, they naturally became a little closer.

"Sister Li, what did you say? It's a bit out of the ordinary."

Wang Xifeng stood by the door with a grin, and gave Feng'er a wink.Feng'er smiled and went forward to hold Li Ming's hand, took advantage of the situation and stuffed a piece of silver, just smiled and said: "My good sister, our girl has something to ask for your help, please don't refuse."

Li Ming's family has great eyesight. Seeing Feng'er smiling all over her face, she quietly held the silver in her hands, and turned to the other two wives and said, "Madam's dinner is ready, please send it over here. I have enough."

Mrs. Wang has always been generous, and during dinner these two days, sometimes her appetite improved, and she even offered some small rewards.The two women were overjoyed when they heard the words, they hurriedly cleaned up the chopping boards and bowls, and went out thankfully.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Sister Li has a way of doing things after all. I have something to ask Sister Li. I don't know if Sister Li is willing or not?" "When I was at home, I heard my mother talk about an old story. When Sister Li was in charge of our Wang family's kitchen, her craftsmanship was excellent. She was the best at stewing soup, right?"

Li Ming's family members were a little puzzled. Hearing what Sister Feng said, he didn't dare to answer. He just said: "But I know a little bit of superficiality. It's not worth being a girl to say that. It makes me blush."

"Sister Li, please don't look outside, our girl thinks that Uncle Zhu has worked hard in studying for days, and I want to ask my sister to make a cup of warming and nourishing soup for Uncle Zhu to drink. Don't say no."

Hearing this, Li Ming's family was startled, and seeing Wang Xifeng's master and servant both smiling at him, a layer of sweat could not help but break out on their foreheads.I just felt that the silver in my hand was a bit hot, so I hesitated and said: "My cousin doesn't know something, my wife has already ordered me to send you, and Mrs. Zhu's food and clothing must be seen by my wife before sending it. Don’t dare to presume. If my wife finds out that we have made our own claims, I’m afraid my wife will punish me.”

"Oh? It turns out that my aunt explained this long ago." Wang Xifeng smiled even more, stepped forward two steps, stared at Li Ming's family with a pair of phoenix eyes, and said softly, "But I just saw that when Sister Li was stewing bird's nest, she gave the bead Cousin’s bird’s nest is not made of the best quality, but rather broken. Oh, Sister Li, I’m young and ignorant, and I don’t know why?”

These words were like a thunderbolt, Li Ming's family immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Cousin girl, you can't talk nonsense! If my wife finds out, I will have ten lives, which is not enough for my wife to punish me."

"Huh? But I saw it clearly. If I don't tell my aunt to know, I will feel really sorry." Wang Xifeng blinked, leaned over to look at Li Ming's family, and smiled slightly: "Sister Li is really, it was a waste of me A lot of painstaking work. You see, what Feng’er is holding in his hand is the tribute blood swallow, and the stewed soup is much better than those crumbled bird’s nests. What's the taste of broken bird's nest, but Sister Li refuses to let me do it. Sigh... there is nothing I can do about it."

As he spoke, he sighed softly, tapped his fingertips painted with Dan Kou on the bag of bird's nest that Feng'er was holding, and said helplessly, "In that case, I won't embarrass Sister Li anymore. Feng'er , you go to aunt's place in person and send this blood swallow to aunt. Just say, I saw that the bird's nest my cousin ate couldn't make it on the table these days, so I specially asked my mother to bring it from home. Thank you aunt for these few days The friendship with my cousin to take care of my daily life."

Feng'er said in a charming and authentic way: "Miss is such a kind-hearted girl, my aunt must be very happy when she finds out."

"I don't know if my aunt is happy or not. I'm just afraid that my aunt thinks I'm meddling in other people's business, and it won't be good to make her angry." Then, he glanced at Li Ming's house, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Sister Li is an old man who follows my aunt. Now, how about my aunt's temper, I think Sister Li knows it. Why don't you tell me, if I give this gift, will Auntie be happy or not?"

Li Ming's family pinched their sleeves, only feeling that the cousin girl in front of her was young, but her words were like knives, cutting her heart.She was also to blame for her own greed, thinking that Uncle Zhu had always been impatient to eat these bird's nests, and would put them down as soon as they touched his lips, so she became greedy.If I had known this...

"My cousin was joking. My wife usually works hard at the housekeeping. I don't have to worry about my wife's annoyance if I bother her about this matter. Besides, since this blood swallow is an excellent tonic, it's better to stew it now and give it to Mr. Zhu." Wouldn't it be nice to go?"

"Oh, after all, Sister Li is thoughtful, so please ask Sister Li to stew it herself. I can wait here for a while."

Li Ming's family took the blood swallow from Feng'er's hand with a strong smile, and stewed it for two hours before it was finished, and put it in a food box while it was hot, and when it was handed over to Feng'er, there was an illusion of being exhausted.

"Sister Li's craftsmanship is really unmistakable." Wang Xifeng opened the soup cup and smelled it. It was really fragrant and did not have the earthy smell of ordinary bird's nest, so she covered the soup cup with satisfaction.He also ordered Feng'er to hand over a piece of silver that was bigger than before to Li Ming's family. Seeing that she refused to accept it, she didn't force her, so Feng'er put the silver on the stove and looked at Li Ming's family with a smile. .

"Sister Li has worked hard. You deserve this reward. You don't need to be so coy in front of me. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If I can help those who can help me, I will naturally not treat them badly."

After finishing speaking, she stepped out of the kitchen first, Feng'er carefully carried the cup of bird's nest, followed closely behind Wang Xifeng and also went out.

Li Ming's family looked at the piece of silver on the stove, bit their lips hard, and finally put it away.

Bypassing the three main houses on the east, Wang Xifeng didn't stop, but after a while, he arrived at the door of the study on the south.Seeing that the dull maid was still guarding the door, she couldn't help smiling.Turning around, he took the food box from Feng'er, stepped forward and knocked on the door——

"Cousin Zhu, I'm here to bring you a midnight snack."
