The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 118 Clothes
"Is the matter over?" Zong Che went out after listening to them for a while, and ordered the kitchen to cook.

Zheng Changsheng got up and said, "I'll go live outside, I won't eat here anymore."

An Xu knew that Zong Che had disliked Zheng Changsheng since he was in Linhe Village, so he said, "Well, you go directly to the first floor, they have guest rooms there, and I'll give them a lot of recipes, you go and report them to me." name, they will provide free board and lodging."

"It's a good feeling," Zheng Changsheng said with a smile, "I haven't eaten on the first floor yet."

An Xu sent him out, and before Zheng Changsheng got on his horse, he said to An Xu, "Xiao Chong asked me to remind you, don't go against Zong Che."

An Xu was puzzled and amused, nodded and said: "I see. You go to live on the first floor, and ask someone to tell you if you need something. By the way, there is also the key to the shop, you have it."

A step later, the partridge stepped forward and handed over a bunch of keys to Zheng Changsheng.

Zheng Changsheng took it and was about to leave, hesitatingly said: "There is one more thing, my mother has already arranged a marriage for me, and we will get married in autumn."

"Congratulations," An Xu said with a surprised smile, "Don't worry, I will prepare a congratulatory gift when you get married."

Zheng Changsheng's feeling of bewilderment suddenly turned into a joke, and he said, "Okay, I can be regarded as half of your subordinate, and I'm still very capable. This gift should be generous."

An Xu nodded: "Definitely."

Back at the dining table, Zong Che handed over a bowl of porridge, "Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, you taught me, let's see if I've graduated."

An Xu took it over and said with a smile, "Madam Xi made it?"

Zong Che's face froze, and he asked, "You seem very happy. What good news did Zheng Changsheng bring you?"

"That's not true, that is to say, he is going to get married in autumn, and he wants a congratulatory gift from me." An Xu said, "I also heard that Xiao Chong is more worried about me, so he gave some instructions, and I was thinking of writing him a letter later. Believe me, give me a good word of advice."

Zong Che smiled, "You explained too much. Is what Xiao Chong told you related to me?"

An Xu raised his eyes, what kind of fox is this, or did I tell you something?
"No, why do you ask that?" she asked.

Zong Che sat there with a tall and straight posture, and there was a kind of careless elegance that was easy to ignore after getting familiar with him.

He smiled lightly, and said: "I guess, after all, your brother is a very smart person in some things."

An Xu intuitively felt that these words were as wrong as those he said in the car.

No matter what Zong Che is doing again, she doesn't want to pay attention to it.

After dinner, Zong Che went to the study, and An Xu went to the kitchen. She still had to make porridge to nourish the stomach and send it to Xue Xi who was lying in Zhang Yuan.

When she entered the kitchen door, Aunt Xi was packing firewood. Seeing this scene, An Xu thought about what happened last night, and almost forgot about it.

She turned again.

The magpies went in to wash the vegetables, so they hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Miss?"

"Go back to your room and get something."

An Xu didn't go back to the room, she went straight to the courtyard where she lived, walked around to the back of the main house, and saw some traces of smoke and fire near the corner of the wall, and the suspicion in her heart faded away.

What happened yesterday might really be a coincidence.

In the next few days, An Xu would make some nourishing porridge and soup on time every day, or call magpies or partridges to send to Xue Xi.

The partridge brought back news that the child would eat as much food as he saw in the bowl, which made her have to measure again.

Then make those plate-by-plate snacks, which are not too big, put them in a small food box, and call them to the child, so that when he is hungry, he can eat a plate, but at least once every time he eats. Eat another dish in an hour.

An Xu was actually worried that the child would not be able to bear it, and eat it all at once, but he obviously experienced the inner shadow of extreme hunger, and he was not given enough food for him to control. The mental state of eating everything you eat will not change.

So after giving the snacks, An Xu also asked Partridge to remind Zhang Yuan's medicine boy to pay more attention.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after making the dim sum, when the magpie went to deliver the soup, Xue Xi asked her to say thank you to his lady.

The magpie was very happy, and felt that her young lady's thoughts were not in vain, so she chirped with An Xu after she came back, and said: "I met the servants of Xue's family when I delivered the meal, and they all said that their young master is an idiot. , but from today's perspective, not only is Young Master Xue not stupid, he is also a good one who knows."

At the end, he muttered: "Much better than the old lady of the Shen family."

An Xu laughed, "Okay, why are you talking about her again?"

"Isn't it because you made so many apple crisps yesterday, and you asked someone to send a copy to the Shen family, and there wasn't even a word of thanks there." Magpie said.

Partridge glared at her, but not only didn't thank her, but the servant who took the apple crisp also told them not to do such a thing again before getting engaged, saying that it would cause gossip from outsiders.

And that Young Master Shen didn't know what he was busy with. He only came to ask about Master Xue's incident two days ago when many people said that hot peppers are bad for people.

Up to now, three or five days have passed, and there is no sign of anyone.

Seeing that the young lady would lose her mind occasionally, Partridge felt a little worried and displeased.

It's not that An Xu lost his mind, it's just that there is always a feeling that the progress between her and Shen Xiao since she came to the capital is different from her previous correspondence.

Now, although she has received Shen Xiao's engagement token, it is said that he agreed to give it, she is quite moved, and she also feels that the sky is clear when the clouds and mists are cleared, but she is still confused about the future.

As soon as he thought of the Shen family, Yan Zi came in and said, "Miss, this is an invitation card from the Shen family from the little rotor."

Pass over a dark blue sprinkled gold sticker.

An Xu received it in his hand, "Sent by the Shen family?"

But after a closer look, it turned out that it was not the Shen family of Lord Zhen Guo, but the same father and half brother of Lord Xian Guo who had already been separated from the Shen family.

The two brothers Xianzhen Guogong have a good relationship, so they live on the same street with only a wall between them.

It is said that the third old master of the Shen family is still alive, and is of the same generation as the old lady Shen. The old lady Shen is the second sister-in-law. This third old master Shen should also show full respect to the old lady in person.

The third old man was the chief accountant of the Ministry of Households in his early years, and he has been in office for many years. He has four sons under his knees, three descendants and one concubine. Except for the boss who is the most promising, he is now a doctor of the Ministry of War, and the other three sons are in other yamen. idle job.

But backed by the Zhen Guogong Mansion, the family of the three old masters is well-known in the capital.

Therefore, the Shen family decided to hold a big event for the [-]th birthday of the third old master.

An Xu, as the grandson-in-law that Mrs. Shen had verbally acknowledged, naturally also had an invitation.

----

Shen Xiao was stopped by Nanny Chang when she came out from her grandmother's place.

"Young master," said Nanny Chang, holding a package of basket cloth in her hand, "the grandpa in the east will celebrate his birthday in the future and invite Miss An. The old lady only heard about it this morning. No, she will ask Miss Ying immediately Here comes a piece of clothing. It's new, untouched."

Shen Xiao said: "Xu'er is taller than Ying'er, her clothes should not be suitable. Please reassure grandma that she has clothes suitable for the banquet."

Nanny Chang smiled and said, "Isn't it a coincidence? The clothes were made by Sister Ying to wear in autumn, and they are a lot more relaxed. The old lady has good intentions, so don't refuse. Who will come to the door at that time, which family will wear the wrong clothes?" Miss An doesn't know about this silk and that silk, and no one taught her, wouldn't it be impolite then?"

Shen Xiao thought for a while, reached out to take it, and said, "Let grandma worry about it."

Nanny Chang sighed: "You know, the old lady has put in so much effort, it's all for your future."

Shen Xiao nodded: "Thank you, Mommy, for your reminder."

In fact, why didn't he know that his grandmother was planning for him no matter what?It is precisely because he knows this that he never disobeys.

When he came out of his grandmother's yard, he looked at the clothes in his hand, and realized that he had not seen An Xu for a few days, and some relatives of the Shen family wanted to tell her in advance.

So he went out directly and came to Zhuangyuan Mansion.

The gatekeepers of the Zhuangyuan's Mansion knew this Young Master Shen already, and knew that his master didn't like him, but there was an order before that no one or anything from the Shen family should be obstructed, so he let him in with a smile.

An Xu walked into the living room, Shen Xiao put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her and just smiled, "I just said that I invited you to appreciate the lotus a few days ago, but I didn't expect my family to invite you first."

An Xu smiled and said, "I didn't think of that either. What is this?"

She looked at the basket cloth on the table beside her.

Shen Xiao said: "My grandmother told me to give you the clothes, saying that they are just right for the third master's banquet in the future."

"Your grandmother asked someone to make it for me?" An Xu didn't quite believe it.

Shen Xiao said: "No, it belongs to one of my younger sisters, who made autumn clothes."

An Xu knew that Mrs. Shen still hadn't dispelled her grudges against her.But now she can't say anything, after all, she made things difficult for Shen Xiao at first, and soon he brought a certificate from his family that recognized her.

She can't force people not to like her old lady and be kind to herself.

She looked at the smile on Shen Xiao's face, and thought: "Okay, I will bear it."

But when she opened the bag and saw the clothes inside, she really couldn't bear it.

The material of this dress is old cloth from several years ago, and the upper shirt and lower skirt are very thick. It is said that it was worn in autumn, but it is probably only worn in late autumn.

"I don't want it, I have my own clothes." An Xu said.

Shen Xiao didn't expect her to refuse so directly, and asked, "Why not?"

An Xu said: "This dress is not my style at all, I don't like it. Besides, it's too thick. It's late spring now, and it's so hot that I can wear a thin shirt at noon. I don't want to wear this."

"But it was given by my grandmother," Shen Xiao wondered, "It's a gift from the elders, we can't refuse it."

An Xu glanced at him, and didn't seem impatient with his own affairs, and said, "Okay, I can accept it, but I don't wear it."

Shen Xiao said: "Then do you have ready clothes?"

If it is not suitable, the grandmother is afraid that she will scold Xu'er at the banquet.

An Xu smiled and said, "Can I still lack a suit of clothes? I promise I won't embarrass you by then."
