peasant girl allure

Chapter 597
"The girl can just let her be a laundry maid or a cleaning maid. I don't know who she is. She is absolutely not allowed to go to the kitchen." The kitchen is in contact with the family's food. If she is asked to go there, Shen Chengyao will not even eat. not worried.

"Put it in my yard as a sweeping maid!" Xiao'er felt that it was not safe to put the ticking time bomb anywhere, and it was best to put it under her nose.

Nanny Rong and Yang Mei spent the whole day sitting in their yard!Is there anything that can escape the piercing eyes of the old and refined Nanny Rong?

"That's a good idea, then Dad and the two elder brothers won't be afraid of being hooked by the vixen!" Xi'er said in an unastonishing tone.

Xiao'er lowered her head and snickered, You Xi'er said vixen on the left and vixen on the right, thinking that the three men in the family would run away if they saw Rou'er approaching her, after all who would want to be hooked by a vixen!

Jing Rui: ...

Jing Hao: ...

Shen Chengyao: ...

Is Xier too busy?So I always read the script at home, she should find something to do!Three people thought.

Shen Chengyao decided to go to the study room tomorrow after leaving the office to see what books are suitable for the little girl to learn.Otherwise, if he continued to read the script, Shen Chengyao was worried that one day she would say something that would frighten him so much that his heart couldn't stand it.

Shen Chengyao and his brothers and sisters were making moon cakes together, while discussing what to do with Rou'er. After making the moon cakes, he went back to his yard to see his little son who hadn't seen him all day.

The newborn is growing fast, and it really changes every day. Shen Chengyao feels that the youngest son seems to grow a little more when he comes back from the office every day.

After the mooncakes were ready, Xiao'er asked her servant girl to send them to the kitchen and bake them in an earthen oven. After the mooncakes were baked, the maidservants brought them up, and instantly a burst of sweet smell filled the room.

"Is sister ready to eat?" Xi'er looked at the various flower mooncakes and asked impatiently.

"When the mooncakes are ready, it's best to leave them overnight and wait for them to return to the oil. But you can eat them if you want."

After hearing this, Xi'er immediately stretched out a hand to grab the mooncakes, waiting all night?She will lose sleep.

It's just that the mooncakes just out of the oven were very hot, and Xi'er retracted her hands as soon as they touched them.

"Go get a small knife and cut it into small pieces, then eat with a bamboo stick." Xiao'er said to Xi'er.

Xi'er's maid hurriedly went to fetch bamboo sticks and a knife.

Jingrui and the others couldn't help but eat while it was hot, they worked on the food for a long time by themselves, who wouldn't want to eat it!
Xiao'er asked the servant girl to pack a plate for Shen Chengyao and Liu Shi, and told Liu Shi not to eat too much.

Mother Rong also asked the maid to send a plate over.

Then she sat down at a nearby table, took a food basket and began to decorate with ribbons.

When giving mooncakes to others, the packaging should be pleasing to the eye, right?

After decorating several food boxes, Xiao'er put one mooncake of each flavor and different appearance into it, and said to Yangmei: "After the mooncakes are completely cooled, cover the food box and give it to everyone tomorrow morning." Send it to Prince's Mansion, Zhongyonghou Mansion, Li Mansion and Fourth Uncle's house."

Yang Mei nodded in response.

At dinner time, Xiao'er's family received three baptisms, a full moon ceremony and a mid-autumn ceremony from Liu's natal family in Shengping County.

The news that Mrs. Liu was born must not have spread back so quickly. They must have estimated the date and sent these three gifts together.

There was also a letter that came with the ceremony, all of which were words of greeting and some short things from the parents.

One incident was mentioned in the letter, which made Xiao'er a little puzzled: Xiao'er's aunt Tan said that her natal sister-in-law's natal family had the imperial court send people to recruit soldiers, and her sister-in-law's nephew went to serve as a soldier, and it was said that he was under the command of General Di Mrs. Tan knew that Xiao'er's family had a good relationship with Zhongyonghou's mansion, so she asked Xiao'er in the letter to ask General Di to take care of him.It's not that I want to give him an official position or something, but I just hope that he won't lose his life. After all, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so it's best to be a soldier in the cooking squad or something.

Xiao'er smiled when she saw this, she only hoped that her son would come back safely, and she didn't want him to make great achievements.But Xiao'er expressed her understanding, as parents, of course they don't want their son to have trouble.

Just, conscription?Xiao'er had never heard of the news of conscription there. Conscription is not considered a state secret. Wherever conscription is, the imperial court always makes it public.

The sister-in-law of my aunt's natal family married from the mountains in Lianyun County next door, which is relatively remote, and she doesn't know what the name of the village is.

The imperial court has indeed been recruiting troops recently, Xiao'er looked at the bulletin board, and it seems that there is no news of Lianyun County's conscription.

If the conscripts there are not recruited by the imperial court, but private soldiers recruited by some people in the name of the imperial court, then the situation will be serious.

Jing Rui frowned when he saw the contents of the letter, "Xiao'er, it seems that the imperial court didn't recruit soldiers in Lianyun County?"

Xiao'er nodded: "It's true that it hasn't been posted on the bulletin board. As for whether the local area will expand the scope of conscription because of insufficient recruitment, I don't know."

"The imperial court had conscripted soldiers in Lianyun County a few years ago. This time, it is natural to avoid Lianyun County and recruit troops from other counties. Even if the scope of conscription is expanded, it should not be recruited from Lianyun County." Jing Hao told what he knew.

In order to show justice where the conscription has already been done, the next conscription will indeed be avoided. I am afraid that it is unusual if nothing happens.

The three brothers and sisters glanced at each other, Xiao'er thought for a while and said, "This needs to be verified. Don't act rashly."

Xiao'er called Yang Liu and asked her to tell Zhao Yong to see when the sixth prince is free today, and to come over if he is free.

Yang Liu took the order, turned around and walked out.

Out of the corner of Xiao'er's eye, she saw a piece of clothing quickly disappearing.

She couldn't help raising the corner of her mouth, couldn't hold it so fast?This person is no different.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shangguan Xuanyi must stay in the palace to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the emperor and queen, not to mention that the emperor is still bedridden, and he cannot do without people, even if Xiaoer won't let anyone invite him, Shangguan Xuanyi will I will make time to come over at night.

The moonlight on August [-]th was already very round and bright, and the silvery white moonlight illuminated the path in the whole yard a bit brighter than usual.

When Shangguan Xuanyi walked into Xiao'er's yard, he saw that she had already set up a round table in the yard, and the table was filled with various snacks, pancakes...preserved fruit waiting for food.

Seeing Shangguan Xuanyi approaching, Xiao'er greeted him while pouring wine: "Brother Shangguan, hurry up and pay me back for this year's new wine."

Shangguan Xuanyi walked up to Xiao'er, lifted his robe and sat down, he picked up the red wine in a crystal clear and shiny glass goblet, put it to his nose and smelled it: "It smells better than in previous years. "

After finishing the words, he took a sip: "Not bad."
