Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 86

Before Aunt Liu left, all the female teachers and female students in the women's school frowned, even the elegant and noble Hua family showed some reluctance on their faces.

On the days when Aunt Liu was away, they didn't have anything to eat in the afternoon!
It was only at this time that Hua realized that in the past few months, she had also been fooled by Aunt Liu's home-cooked cooking skills.

In the morning when Aunt Liu left, Maolin heard the movement outside, and couldn't help but glance outside. Seeing Aunt Liu carrying a small blue cloth package, saying goodbye to Aunt Mu and Nanny Wang, Maolin's heart skipped a beat. It's time to bring it up!
Waiting for the old lady to roar, "Maolin, where are you looking!"

Only then did Maolin withdraw his eyes in aggrieved way, woohoo, there's nothing to eat!

Zhang Mu listened to Mrs. Li admonishing his daughter from the window. He took a look and saw Maolin with his head drooping. He glanced at Aunt Liu from time to time, poked Aunt Liu, and said with a smile, "Auntie, look at Maolin's little eyes." , you have to come back quickly, or Sister Li will die of grief!"

When Mao Lin caught Aunt Liu's eyes, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Aunt Liu resentfully.

The female students in the class seemed to be touched, and they all followed Maolin's line of sight.

Mrs. Li looked at this group of snack foodies all with star-eyed eyes, and immediately felt that it was necessary to discuss it with other wives. They were originally trained according to the model of ladies, but whoever changed their attributes halfway through the chat, it was all right now. It's a foodie.

"Oh, now I feel uneasy over there, and I'll be back in a few days! Amu, I'll work hard for you in the past few days!"

Aunt Liu was also quite moved. Although this place was not as comfortable as in the Ming Mansion, she felt that her heart was warm and warm in front of this group of lively and bright little girls. Since her daughter got married, she hadn't lived like this for a long time.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? It's not hard work, but you have to come back earlier, otherwise if they dislike my craftsmanship, then I will be ashamed!"

Zhang Mu was pregnant with Fufu before, and at most he would help Aunt Liu on the sidelines, but she had never really cooked once. After careful calculation, she hadn't lit a fire for a long time!
Aunt Liu smiled and shook her head, looking at Zhang Mu's face of happiness, guessing that Zhang Mu probably didn't know what the county grandpa's family had to do with her. The man who rains is the luck of his life!

She didn't have such a blessing. The old man left early, and she raised her daughter alone. For the rest of her life, Aunt Liu looked up at the late autumn sky. There were no clouds in the sky, and the blue sky was clear. Bar!
On the first day when Aunt Liu was away, the teachers and female students in the women's school suffered from the dark cooking of the owner!
Xiao Maolin stared at the mutton soup with black dots floating in the bowl, couldn't help looking at Aunt Mu, blinked his big eyes and asked, "Aunt Mu, can I eat it?"

The little girls at the side hesitated holding the bowl for a while.

Zhang Mu looked a little embarrassed, uh(⊙o⊙)... She hasn't lighted a fire for a long time, and she overheated today, "It looks a little ugly, but the taste is not bad, Maolin, you have a taste", Zhang Mu coaxed with the tone of grandma wolf road.

Upstairs, Mrs. Hua looked at Zhang Mu's embarrassed expression downstairs, and said to Hua Yi behind, "Let the cook from the mansion come over to help tomorrow!"

"Hey, yes, master!"

In Taizhou Chengming Mansion, the sky was dim, and the lanterns were already lit everywhere. Aunt Liu walked in the corridor, feeling like yesterday. If she didn't come back, she would almost forget that she had a master.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming from the backyard, Liu Ya nodded slightly to her mother-in-law, then went in and returned to her master: "My lord, auntie is here!"

"Oh? Come in, please!" Ming Hao put down the letter in his hand, and asked Chang Sui to call Aunt Liu.

The middle finger of his right hand was slightly bent, and he tapped lightly on the table. The sage said in the letter that the side branches of the Wu family can be put down. The Wu family in the capital, I am afraid that the sage has almost arranged it!
"How is your lord recently?"

Ming Hao looked at Aunt Liu who was already at the side of Shi Lihou, retracted his thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "Aunt Liu is not here, my mouth is much duller!"

"This time the old slave is back, I will teach you how to cook a few more new dishes to give you a change of taste!" Aunt Liu felt a little more relaxed when she heard that the master was also greedy for this appetite.

"By the way, why is Aunt Liu coming back this time?" Ming Hao asked casually, turning the jade ring on his thumb.

"My lord, it's the young master of the Wu family, let this old slave come back to avoid the limelight!" Aunt Liu glanced at the people above, and described the events of Tongtai County one by one these days.

After listening to Aunt Liu's words, Ming Hao asked, "Where did you get the medicine you gave in the Zhou family's kitchen?" The medicine can make people lose their minds.

"Returning to your lord, this old slave heard from Young Master Wu that he bought it from a prodigal son for thousands of taels of silver. He tested it and it is not poisonous, but it can cause dizziness and hallucinations!"

Wu Ling didn't tell her that it wasn't poisonous, but Aunt Liu couldn't help but add this sentence.

When the master asked her to go back to rest earlier, Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord, if it is possible, this old servant will stay in Tongtai County for the rest of my life! I hope you will be lenient!"

Ming Hao, who was thinking about the medicine, couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Aunt Liu thinks it's more comfortable there than at home?" Does he know that Aunt Liu's daughter is married to his personal long-term follower Liu Ya, Aunt Liu has always been respected in the mansion.

"It's incomparable with the adult's house there, but the old slave has some feelings for the old sisters and girls there, and hopes to grow old with them!" Aunt Liu recalled the look in Xiao Maolin's eyes when she looked at her. There is also some kindness in it, sometimes children are more sensitive than adults.

Xiao Maolin actually felt that she might not come back, but the wooden girls, including Wu Ling, only thought that she was coming back temporarily. A few days ago, she received a message from the adults, saying that Wu Ling was not there. It was necessary for her to observe, she was the one who dragged herself through the task Wu Ling entrusted to her, and then came back with an excuse to avoid suspicion.

"Aunt Liu, you have been in my family for decades, and I can satisfy your request, but you should discuss this matter with Liu Ya and his wife, otherwise, they will blame me in the future! "Ming Hao glanced at the long follower beside him and said with a smile.

This is the promise, and Aunt Liu was very happy, and bowed respectfully to Ming Hao, "This old slave will definitely come back to stutter for the adults in the future!"

Mrs. Wu looked at the woman kneeling at her feet, showing a little impatience in her eyes. She resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and said gently to the woman who was still begging: " Yuan girl, since you have come to my house, my old woman will not ignore you, it is getting late today, I will let the servants take you down to rest first, you have a good sleep, and we can talk about the rest in another day!"

Wu Zhiyuan, who was chattering about her family's misfortune, raised her head in astonishment.

The old lady above was still as gentle and dignified as she remembered, with a slight smile on her lips, but the coldness in her eyes was the same as that of the moonlight cold night, which made her feel chilly, and felt like a maid Maybe the door was not closed properly, and the cold wind poured directly into the person's neck.

"Yes, old lady, Zhiyuan will come back tomorrow to greet you!"

Seeing the old lady nodding her head, the servant girl next to her went over to Wu Zhiyuan and said, "Miss Yuan, this servant girl will take you to rest!"

"Well, okay, please trouble this sister!" Wu Zhiyuan walked to the door, and couldn't help but look back at the old lady of the Wu family. Seeing her holding tea and blowing on the leaves slightly, her eyes darkened.

Father and elder brother went to jail, mother disappeared, as for her, the memory of seeing the small black room flashed in her mind, Wu Zhiyuan tried her best to ignore it, she came to Wu's house in the capital, and she will never be afraid of those people again, Those people will never find her again!

"Grandmother, are you really going to take her in? I heard from someone that she might not be of the Wu family's blood!" Wu Mo'er couldn't help asking as she watched Wu Zhiyuan's back walking away.

Mrs. Wu looked at her granddaughter who was becoming more and more beautiful. A red waist pinched skirt gently outlined the graceful figure of her daughter's family, her eyes were filled with unconcealable joy, and she said with a smile: "Mo Son, if you don't like her, grandma won't let her appear in front of you in the future, you can pretend that there is no such cousin in your family!"

Wu Mo'er's mind turned slightly, and she couldn't help leaning forward, "What does grandma mean?"

Mrs. Wu looked at her granddaughter's bright eyes as if she had discovered something interesting, shook her head slightly, and said, "Let's take care of it first, just take a bite of food, and you will understand later!"

Wu Mo'er saw that her grandmother was unwilling to reveal a little bit, and she put on a cute and smart look on her face, changed the subject, and cursed in her heart: This old thing is getting harder and harder to serve!

Wu Mo'er did not see Wu Zhiyuan again in the next few months, not to mention when she went to pay her respects to her grandmother, but occasionally she went to the yard to visit her sister-in-law and cousin, and she never saw Wu Zhiyuan.

Once Wu Mo'er was curious about what the old lady was up to, so she sent someone to check on Wu Zhiyuan's recent situation, only to find that Wu Zhiyuan was no longer in the Wu family's mansion, and the old lady sent it to a village in the suburbs, saying it was to cultivate her mind!
Wu Mo'er listened to it, and then put it down. She is the first lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites in the capital. She is loved by her grandmother and mother above, and her brother and sister-in-law are below her. What does it matter.

However, in March of the next year, as more and more students came to Beijing to take the exam, one day, Wu Mo'er discovered that Wu Zhiyuan, whom she had not seen for a long time, had returned, and her grandmother asked her to take Wu Zhiyuan with her as a cousin Go out to socialize.

When we met each other again, Wu Zhiyuan was no longer the Miss Pangzhi who fled to her home in embarrassment that night. She had a palm-sized melon-seeded face with picturesque eyebrows.
