six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 256 Chen Ye's Thoughts

Early the next morning, Su Liu and others and Cao Mingzhu went to the Zhengde Hall to greet the two newcomers Chen Shi and Cao Kui.

In the master bedroom, Mrs. Chen stood on tiptoe to help Cao Kui straighten her collar. Cao Kui looked at her beautiful face with a smile, and remembered the entanglement between the two of them last night. He quickly took a sip of incense on her face.

Chen was startled, and exclaimed: "Master!"

"Mei Niang, you are so kind." Cao Kui smiled like a young boy.

When Mrs. Chen heard the words, a rosy glow flew up on her cheeks, and she pretended to be ashamed and said angrily: "The master is old, why is he still as shapeless as a child, it would be better if people saw it."

Cao Kui immediately cupped his hands and said, "It's Meng Lang, my husband."

It was impossible for Mrs. Chen to be really angry with him, so she just spat and said, "Hurry up and get out, the children should wait!"

Cao Kui nodded, took her hand in a good mood and walked towards the small flower hall together.

The Su Liu siblings were drinking tea and talking in low voices, when they heard the clinking sound of ring pendants and footsteps coming, they all stood up and looked towards the small door on the other side of the master bedroom. Sure enough, they saw Cao Kui and Chen Shi Both came out.

"You all came early." Cao Kui laughed haha ​​and sat on the main seat.

After Mrs. Chen also sat down, they lined up from left to right from Cao Mingzhu to Chen Ye. Several people bowed down in unison: "Daughter (son) to father, and mother."

"Hey, get up." Cao Kui looked at several outstanding children and raised their hands with a smile, and Chen Shi also kindly told them to get up.

When they got up, they looked refreshed, especially Chen Shi, who was even more radiant and more charming than before, and couldn't help but feel happy.

"Did mother sleep well last night?" Cao Mingzhu took the girl's tea, offered it to Mrs. Chen herself, and offered another cup to Cao Kui.

Chen blushed slightly, glanced at Cao Kui, then smiled and said, "Okay, it's pretty good."

"That's good." Seeing the eye contact between the two of them, Cao Mingzhu felt really at ease in her heart. Even if she got married in the future, with Chen as her companion, her father would not be afraid of being lonely anymore.

"Father, there used to be no mistress in the family, and I was always in charge of the housekeeping. Now that my mother has entered the house, shouldn't the housework be handed over to my mother?" Cao Mingzhu greeted a few words, and then began to get into the topic. .

Before Cao Kui could speak, Mrs. Chen said first, "I don't understand the housekeeper, you just hold the pearl."

Su Liu sat on the side smiling and didn't speak. Cao Mingzhu said, but Mrs. Chen was also cautious, afraid that people would gossip if she took over the housekeeping right the next day after entering the door.

"With the wife in the house, how can there be a reason for a daughter to be a housekeeper? In the past, I had no choice but to do it. Now that the mother comes in, she should also love her daughter." Cao Mingzhu refused, pouting her mouth and pretending to be pitiful. She couldn't help but shyly said: "Mother, my daughter has to prepare for marriage and also take care of the house. This is really... I hope that mother will love her daughter this time."

Mrs. Chen became a little anxious, looked at Cao Kui and said, "Master, look..."

Although she was born in a farming family, she has learned a lot from Su Liu in the past two years, and Mrs. Song also secretly taught her a lot of things.This housekeeper, if you manage well, people will praise you. If you don't manage well, people will only say that you are not, let alone you took the housekeeping right from your stepdaughter just after entering the house. What do people think?
"Mingzhu is also right." Cao Kui stroked his beard and said, "You really should take care of this family. Firstly, you are the mistress of this family. Secondly, Mingzhu is going to get married in August. Here's the matter. There are many, and I still count on you."

"This..." Chen looked at Su Liu begging for help.

Su Liu smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and said, "In my opinion, it's better than this."

Everyone looked at her.

"The housekeeper's affairs are not in a hurry, and sister, don't be picky all at once. After all, my mother just came in. She doesn't know many people and things in this house, so let her follow you to learn slowly, bit by bit. A little bit of decentralization, firstly, it won't be too abrupt to make people feel uncomfortable, and secondly, there will be a transition." Su Liu suggested with a smile.

"It's also because I didn't think carefully." Cao Kui patted Chen's hand lightly when he heard the words, and blamed himself: "Liu Er's suggestion is very good, I think that's it, what does Mingzhu think?"

Cao Mingzhu naturally had no reason to say no, and nodded with a smile: "It's so good, I thought that when my mother came, I could hide away, but I can't, anyway, as Liu Er said, take it slowly come on!"

Only then did Chen breathe a sigh of relief. Letting her take over the housekeeping right at once was really a little stressful, but both Cao's father and daughter were willing to trust her like this, and they were extremely happy in their hearts.

"However, Liu'er, don't even try to run away, you have to help me with the housekeeper, otherwise I won't follow you." Cao Mingzhu didn't intend to let Su Liu go.

Chen Shi and Cao Kui looked at each other, and they both showed a smile. Their children get along well, which is what they like to see.

"What Mingzhu said is, Liu'er, I see, why don't you just move to Cao's mansion and accompany your mother and help her. This mansion is very big. In a few months, your sister will also get married. We two old fellows are even more lonely." Cao Kui said with a smile.

Su Liu knew it would be like this, and said: "Father, didn't we agree? We still live in our house, living at both ends, why bring this up again."

"Since your mother married me, even if you don't follow my surname, you are also my Cao Kui's children. You should live together. If Liu Er is afraid of others' gossip, don't worry about it. Now, they Few dare to point fingers at our family." Cao Kui said in the end, his voice was a little cold, everyone knew who he was talking about, they were nothing more than members of the clan.

"Yes, Liu'er, I only have three months at home, so you can stay with me." Cao Mingzhu pulled Su Liu's sleeve and acted like a baby.

"My sister is about to get married, but she looks like a child at the moment." Su Liu teased, and then said with a light smile: "I'm not afraid of anyone, but you, father and mother, know that apart from people like Qingzhou Together, Shangjing also has a lot of business to deal with, and I must run around. Speaking of which, it is our own house, and we may not live for many days."

"Then it's better to live in the mansion." Cao Kui insisted.

Su Liu showed a wry smile, and said: "How about this, live where it's convenient, huh?"

Cao Kui wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Chen held her back and said, "That's all, they're all grown up, so don't worry about what they want their own space."

After the Chen family had spoken, Cao Kui naturally wouldn't refute her, so he responded, "Well, it's up to you, in general, the gate of the mansion will always be open to you, you guys belong to Cao's mansion." Young lady."

Su Liu and the three of them looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

It was Chen Ye, who looked at Mrs. Chen, then at Xiao Su beside him, pursed his lips slightly, and lowered his head thoughtfully.

"Liu'er, your mother has already married in, what are your plans for the house in Da'ao Village?" Cao Kui asked Su Liu about the house in Da'ao Village again, and said, "You are living in the mansion, so you can live in the house. It doesn't matter if you live in a house in the county, but if a few children live in Da'ao Village, it's really not appropriate."

Su Liu pondered for a while, then sighed: "That house is our first newly built house. I didn't think about what to do with it for a moment, so I just moved to the county first. As for that house, let's wait As an old house, after all there are some fields over there, if there is something to go back to, there will always be a place to stay."

Cao Kui nodded and said, "Since that's the case, leave someone to watch over it and take care of it."

Su Liu hummed, she will not live in Da'ao Village for the rest of her life, but there is still a lot of affection left in that place, she is not short of the two money now, and Ning Guang has not come back, how to deal with it in the future, besides Bar.

Everyone chatted for a while and had breakfast together. Cao Kui led Mrs. Chen to the ancestral hall to offer incense to Cao Mingzhu's mother-in-law, and then met her relatives in the flower hall.

Su Liu and Chen Ye didn't go to meet their relatives, but Su Xiao followed to watch the excitement.

Walking slowly in the garden of Cao Mansion, in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, I saw a tall and tall young man standing, looking into the distance, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother Ye." Su Liu approached and called softly.

Chen Ye came back to his senses, saw that it was Su Liu, stepped forward to pick him up, and cupped his hands: "Elder Sister."

"Why are you in a daze here?" She looked around, but there was no one around, but there were a few small plates of snacks, a cup of tea, and an open book about the affairs of the state of Qi.

Su Liu sat down, picked up the book, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Are you reading this kind of book now?"

Chen Ye is very smart, and she always knew that whether it was Sun Xiucai who taught him, or the gentleman in the county school, he had praised him more than once to her. Although he was only 12 years old, the county school had recommended him to try it out. It's about to end this year.

Chen Ye was a little shy and said, "I'll just take a look, but I don't really understand."

"You are already very good, and my husband also praised you. You will end this September. Are you confident?" Su Liu asked with a smile.

Chen Ye hesitated slightly, nodded: "I will try my best."

"You don't need to stress too much. You are still young, just try the water."

Chen Ye hummed, looked at Su Liu and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Su Liu couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said, "Why, do you have something to say?"

Chen Ye pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind, and asked, "Sister, will we live in Cao Mansion in the future?"

"Why, you don't like living here?" Su Liu looked at him, recalled the face of the fourth room in Chen's new house yesterday, her face was slightly cold, and said: "But someone is chewing their tongue in front of you?"

Chen Ye's eyes darkened, and he forced a smile and said: "No, I just thought, Eldest Sister doesn't live here, can I live with Eldest Sister in the future? After all, when Mother is married, there will be children in the future. I just want to He is a righteous son, whose name is not right, so as not to embarrass his mother..."

"Who fed you these messy ideas?" Su Liu's voice suddenly became severe, and she stared at him fiercely.
