Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 52
Girls, please support me a lot~
***
Guan Ming has always been partial to Guan Zhicheng, but Li Xin has no doubts about it.The Guan family only had Guan Zhicheng as a scholar, and it was human nature to expect him to pass the imperial examination and soar to glory.

It's just that Li Xin doesn't understand, Guan Wen is the eldest son anyway, so he should be the one to take care of Guan Ming, right?If what Guan Wen guessed was true, it would indeed be a very puzzling and disappointing thing for Guan Ming to put his treasure on Guan Zhicheng alone and leave the other children alone.

There are many children, it is normal to have a preference, but the preference is not so partial!

After Guan Wen said something, he seemed a little tired, and he got up to go to work again without lying down to rest for a while.Li Xin took advantage of this time to wash the clothes that the couple had changed yesterday, and tidy up the kitchen. Thinking of Guan Wen's words in his mind, he felt a little dazed for a moment.

Although the old saying is good, every family has its own hard-to-recite scriptures, who doesn't have such harsh things?But if this matter is left on him, no matter how he thinks about it, he will feel unhappy.

Li Xin thought about it carefully, and looked at the relationship between Guan's family members, which really made her aware of the situation that she usually did not expect.For example, Guan Wu, when he married Sun Xique, it was Guan Wen who bought it with money. Guan Wen was not around, so Guan Ming, a father, should take care to understand Sun Xique's character, but the son he married The daughter-in-law is so unbearable.

Besides, Guan Ahe, the third sister of the Guan family that Li Xin has never met.Her marriage was arranged by Guan Wen's grandmother when she was still alive, and the dowry was set by Guan Wen. He had never heard Guan Ming mention this daughter.

Guan Wen was also worried about the marriage of the fourth son of the Guan family. He had to work part-time for the dowry money when he was supposed to have a leisurely life.

The dowry of the fifth sister of the Guan family was still being saved by Guan Wen, but Guan Ming never mentioned a single word. When Axiu and Guan Zhicheng had conflicts, Guan Ming would only blindly speak for Guan Zhicheng.

As for Guan Zhicheng, Guan Wen paid him to hand over the repairs, and Guan Ming also protected him overtly and secretly at home.

A-mei will not talk about it, and Guan Ming basically doesn't care, otherwise he would not let his youngest daughter be bullied by his daughter-in-law Sun Xique at home with his father-in-law status.

After careful review, Li Xin felt that Guan Wen's guess was true.After all, Guan Ming's preference for Guan Zhicheng is so obvious.

Li Xin just felt a little tired. Guan Wen would be even more physically and mentally exhausted if he wanted to live with his father under that roof...

While thinking about it, Li Xin was preparing the ingredients for dinner, what should be washed, cut and marinated.It was also because of the movements in her hands that she would not be able to keep thinking wildly.

The ingredients were almost ready, Li Xin looked at it, and there might not be enough salt left in the salt jar, so he went to the big kitchen to ask for a salt jar, and chatted with a daughter-in-law who had dealt with him before.The aunt who was burning the fire in the kitchen seemed to be free. Seeing that Li Xin hadn't left, she wiped her clothes with her hand, walked over with a smile on her face, and said hello to Li Xin, "The Guan family's sister-in-law is here."

"Ma'am." Li Xin responded with a smile, pointing to the aunt's face.The aunt stretched out her hand to wipe it knowingly, and said with a smile: "It's like this when doing things in the kitchen."

"The sister-in-law of the Guan family is different. She rarely gets dust on her face." The daughter-in-law laughed.

Li Xin also smiled, "I'm still busy, so I won't bother you." Then he started to leave.

The kitchen lady hurriedly shouted: "Hey, sister-in-law of the Guan family, wait..."

Li Xin looked over suspiciously, the aunt smiled and said, "Ask the Guan family sister-in-law about something."

Li Xin stood still, "What's the matter, Madam?"

"that……"

The aunt suddenly felt a little choked up, hesitated for a while before saying: "Sister-in-law of the Guan family, that girl Yueya..."

Yueya?Li Xin blinked, but he had never heard of this name.Seeing that she didn't understand, the aunt smiled sarcastically, "Yue Ya is the girl next to Miss, who has been around you all these days..."

"Oh! That little girl's name is Yue Ya?" Li Xin smiled, but she kept an eye on her, "She has been coming to play with me these few days. What's the matter?"

Hearing what Li Xin said, the aunt was a little embarrassed, and a disappointed smile appeared on her wrinkled face, "The girl said that she wanted to learn how to make some dim sum from my sister-in-law..."

When it came to this matter, Li Xin probably knew what the aunt was up to, and asked with a smile: "Are aunt and Yueya..."

"She is my grand-nephew's daughter." The aunt said with a shy face, "The master is kind, and left our family to go to the capital to continue serving..."

Li Xin nodded and said, "That's my wife's good deeds, and it's also your luck."

The aunt nodded hurriedly, and then came back to the conversation, "That's what you said, the master gave us a great favor... No, we also want to return something to the master... Yueya is serving by the young lady, and the young lady is waiting for you. I like to eat the food made by you, sister-in-law, I am afraid that I will not come back after I go to the capital..."

Speaking of this, the meaning is almost expressed.The kitchen lady looked at Li Xin eagerly, rubbed her hands together, and added with a sneer: "This is also our intention of being slaves..."

Li Xin didn't like to hear these words, she was not a slave of their Cui Mansion!All of a sudden, his face was pulled down.

Seeing that she seemed to be angry, although the aunt didn't understand, she immediately said: "Sister-in-law of the Guan family, please leave this matter to you... At my age, I will save my face and put down my face to beg you..."

Li Xin was very annoyed. Although it was necessary to socialize in Cui's residence, the relationship between her and Guan Wen and Cui's residence was not that of a master and a slave.They are good citizens, but they just took advantage of the opportunity to come here to do part-time jobs. When did they become servants of the Cui Mansion, and they had to be left alone?Even an old woman who burns a firehouse can catch up and say these things to her.

"Auntie, Cui Guanshi also came to ask about it at that time, but it's really... Hey, after a while, we still have to rely on our handicrafts to make money. I really can't tell others. Don't be angry. Zuo is just some country stuff, and it can't be on the stage."

Li Xin made a few perfunctory sentences, and saw that the aunt's face drooped, she was not happy, and her heart was a little angry, but her tone was gentle and gentle, "When I go to the capital, there will be too many things in the world, I am afraid that the young lady will I won’t be obsessing over the little food I made.”

These words made the aunt pause and hesitate for a moment, "I'm tired of the food in the capital, maybe I still want to eat something different..."

"At that time, there will be more novel food in front of you, so I don't think of it here." Li Xin smirked twice, looked at the sky, "Oh, it's getting late, ma'am, I have to do it It's about dinner, so I won't chat with you anymore."

I really don't want to fight with that aunt, talking awkwardly makes her head hurt.Li Xin found an excuse and ran away holding the salt jar, without giving the kitchen lady a chance to speak.

The dinner was ready and served on the table. Li Xin had just finished eating and put down the bowl when she saw a young daughter-in-law walking by the Moon Gate.The daughter-in-law also seemed to have just had dinner, seeing Li Xin looking at her, looking left and right, she waved at her, apparently signaling her to go over.

Li Xin didn't feel bad for this daughter-in-law, and the relationship was pretty good, so she went up to her.As soon as he got close, he was pulled aside by the daughter-in-law, and the arched wall of the Moon Gate was used as a cover.

The daughter-in-law whispered, "What did Mrs. Yuan tell you?"

Li Xin raised his eyebrows lightly, "I didn't say anything, I just chattered a few words."

"Come on, I'm still hiding it, you still can't trust me." The daughter-in-law pretended to be angry and patted her lightly, then said in a low voice, "Did she ask you how you cooked those things for the young lady? Don't give it to her, be careful to be deceived by her."

Li Xin smiled, "What can you lie to me?" At worst, he wanted to take the recipe and make it himself to please the owner, or set up another stall to sell this novel food.

"Although Aunt Yuan was kept by Madam, Madam did not intend to take her to the capital. This person... hey, it's not good to gossip behind others' backs, so don't say much else, you can weigh it yourself Don’t trust others so easily.” The daughter-in-law paused and said, “Yueya, that girl has a real heart, and she doesn’t know how to tell right from wrong, good from bad, Aunt Yuan, relying on being her elder, uses her banner to deceive you, you Be a bit of a distraction. Although this mansion is about to move to the capital, it can't break contact with here..."

Although the daughter-in-law's words were shallow, Li Xin understood some of the twists and turns.Being a slave is also a bit petty, and everyone plays their own abacus.The Cui Mansion is not very big, but it is also a slave with various human relationships intertwined.

She'd better hurry up and go back to the village after working part-time with Guan Wen, she was tired of living in the big house.

After thanking his wife, Li Xin poured out tea for everyone to drink, and whispered to Guan Wen, "Have you thought about that? According to Cui Guanshi, we should finish things from beginning to end. You still feel that you have to go back now, so let's talk to Cui Guanshi first."

Guan Wen gulped down his tea, sighed, the tea marks still remained on the corner of his mouth, "Things are all piled up, it's really hard to breathe."

"I have an idea." Li Xin paused for a moment, seeing Guan Wen's eyes fixed on her, and then said softly after deliberation: "Otherwise, let's buy some necessary things in the town first, and do what needs to be done first. , Then you send someone to send a letter to the second brother, and invite an older aunt to go to Hu’s house with the second brother to hire him, and explain the situation to them. When we finish the work here, we will go back Then start preparing for the marriage, and there will only be a gap of ten days."

When Guan Wen heard this, his eyes lit up, "This is a good idea!" After thinking about it, his eyes darkened slightly, "If you buy it in the town, you will spend more money..."

"It's not short of that little money. There is only one daughter in the Hu family. She said that the dowry was bought in the town, and her in-laws' face will be brighter in the future." Li Xin took it lightly, perhaps because she had sympathy for the Hu family, Therefore, in this regard, Li Xin did not want to wrong the Hu family.

The two discussed it again, and they decided that tomorrow Li Xin would find time to go shopping in the town, while Guan Wen would go to his aunt's place, and ask his cousin to go to Guan's house and talk to Guan Wu, so that Guan Wu could buy things in the future. If you come here, you can directly carry the prepared dowry gift to Hu's house.
