Chapter 262 Housekeeper 2
Wei Xiaowan said softly: "Just relax. I will do my best."

Mother Wei smiled again.Most of the dishes served at noon were Wei Xiaowan's favorite dishes.

Everyone in the Wei family deliberately flattered and flattered her, and Wei Xiaowan felt an honor that she couldn't feel in the Du family.Thinking of how delicate she was as a girl in the past, my heart is sour again.

After returning home, Wei Xiaowan went to see Mrs. Liu.

When Wei Xiaowan went back to her natal home, the second bedroom office prepared five-color gift boxes as usual.When Wei Xiaowan came back, the Wei family not only prepared five-color gift boxes to return the gift, but also brought two carts of ice to deliver it.The words are humble, saying that the ice is stored in the winter at home, thinking that the weather is too hot, the old man is old, and he is filial to the old man.

There are many people in the second room and few rooms, and the ice stored in the ice cellar at home is not enough every year.The old man didn't use much ice, but he had to put a small ice tray in his room for use throughout the summer.

Two carts of ice won't cost much money in winter.The amount of ice cellars sold in the market is small, and in summer, big families have to use ice, and the price goes up.

The old man liked the way the Wei family sent gifts to people's hearts.When I was happy, I gave half a cart of ice to the eldest son's family.

Wei Xiaowan asked the cook to make fruit ice bowls, which were so colorful and beautiful.Mrs. Liu is most afraid of heat, so she ate two bowls in a row.The ice basin in the room exuded a faint coolness, she leaned comfortably on the cool chair, enjoying the cool breeze fanned by the girl, and made up her mind to let Wei Xiaowan go back to her natal home several times.

"I don't know what's going on with Sanlang in the west. I heard that there are no trees to shade the sun, and the ground can smoke from the sun." Wei Xiaowan took the cattail fan from the girl's hand and gently fanned it for Mrs. Liu.

When mentioning her son, Liu couldn't help laughing: "Just relax. With his cousin as the coach, how can he be wronged? My old lady will wait for Sanlang to earn my life for me."

Wei Xiaowan smiled lightly, and continued to talk about the topic calmly: "Of course the Duke wants to support his brothers. He is going. The uncle and grandmother in the mansion are getting old, and Sanniang is pregnant again. Letting a girl do the hosting. Mother might as well go over to the house to help take care of it. Duke Guo thinks of his mother's kindness, so he will naturally treat Sanlang better, won't he?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Liu patted her thigh and sat up, "Don't talk about borrowing the Lord's favor. Even if you go to the house to help manage things, Third Auntie will not treat me badly."

Cen Sanniang was five months pregnant, and she was still in confinement after she was born.Take over until the end of the year, not to mention how much money can be leaked from the hands, the daily meals are better than my own.

Liu's heart was hot, and she immediately dressed up.

Wei Xiaowan thoughtfully jumped in front of the girl and supported her: "Speaking of which, since the door is closed, it's inconvenient for me to go out frequently to visit my uncle and grandmother. It just so happens that I made a lot of ice bowls today, so it's good to use them to honor the old lady."

"Smart!" Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered, this is an excellent reason.Before the matter is finalized, lest the second and third wives find out about it and get involved.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law used this excuse to report to the second old man.The old man felt that the old man in the Duke's mansion was not in good health, and some of them were pregnant, so he told Mrs. Liu a few more words: "Your third aunt has always been tolerant to you. It's better if you spend more time with her when you have nothing to do."

As if he had received the imperial edict, Mrs. Liu happily agreed.Called the sedan chair and went straight to the Duke's mansion.

Wei Xiaowan came alone, but Manager Du blocked her back because the old lady was not feeling well and the young lady wanted to rest.Mrs. Liu was ordered by the old lady, and came to see the old lady again, so it would be difficult for Manager Du to stop her.Ask someone to report to the old lady.

Since the Du family strongly supported Du Yanwan, Mrs. Du's perception of the Du family has changed a lot.Du Yansui left, and Cen Sanniang was pregnant with a child, so it was not convenient for her to be by her side all the time.Hearing that Mrs. Liu is here, Mrs. Du thinks it would be better if the family is more popular.He ordered to come in.Looking at the sun, he planned to stay with Mrs. Liu for dinner at night.

Liu Shi and Wei Xiaowan entered the house to greet the old lady.She pulled the fan from the girl's hand and fanned it quickly: "Hey, the sun is so poisonous! Xiao Wan, hurry up and take out the ice bowl prepared for the old lady to relieve the heat!"

Wei Xiaowan personally took out the ice bowl from the food box: "Grandmother, please use less."

Mrs. Du sat quietly in the room, shaking the round fan lightly, and did not feel hot.She had stopped eating iced food for a long time, and seeing that Liu Shi was sweating profusely and her face was covered with powder, she pointed at her and said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat to cool off the heat, I'll let you have dinner tonight."

Mrs. Liu sighed cheerfully, picked up the ice bowl and ate it.

"Daughter-in-law Sanlang, you can also use one. I am also happy to see how delicious your food is." Mrs. Du smiled.

Wei Xiaowan said embarrassingly: "It was originally sent to honor you, but it ended up filling my own stomach, so I am ashamed."

Mrs. Du glanced at Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu was informal, but she found it much more pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "It's enough for you to come and see me as an old woman. Eat quickly!"

He also ordered the maids around him to fetch water, and waited on him with a wet handkerchief.

Mrs. Liu ate a bowl in a daze.After washing my face, the heat from the house in the sun was swept away, and I felt refreshed.

Liu Shi put down the bowl, Wei Xiaowan also put down the spoon, washed her hands and face in a gentle manner, and fanned Liu Shi with a fan.

"Hey, it's not me who said San Auntie, it's hot these days. It's not convenient for San Niang to preside over Zhongfu when she's pregnant with a child. You haven't been in good health for a long time, and the house still needs someone to take care of it..."

Mrs. Liu speaks directly, straight to the point, without any detours.

Old Mrs. Du interrupted her with a smile: "How about eating Xianzi Liangpi at night? I remember you like it too."

"Okay! Mama Wu's deep-fried glutinous rice cakes are so delicious! Spread some egg pancakes, cut some shredded radishes, shredded green onions, and shredded pork to dip in southern sauce, and then have a bowl of hot and spicy soup made with fresh beans. I will eat it when I think about it." Drooling!" Liu suddenly recovered.

Mrs. Du named the little girl's name and asked her to remember it and report it to the kitchen.

When it comes to eating, there is too much to say.Yellow millet porridge, buckwheat cold noodles, sour soup dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables, yellow river carp fillets... Liu said that the saliva is flying, and the ice bowl can cool off the heat, which is not worth the temptation of delicious food.As we spoke, my stomach sang "Empty City Strategies".

It's past time for the two of them to cross the government.As soon as this was said, the sky was on fire, and it was time for dinner.

Wei Xiaowan saw it and sighed secretly.Mrs. Du's attitude is very obvious, she doesn't want Mrs. Liu to go to the house to help the housekeeper.Mrs. Liu can't lift it on the table, but she can.

"Grandmother, if you don't mind, I can come to the mansion to help. It will also save Sanniang from exhaustion." Wei Xiaowan is determined to make friends with the Duke's mansion.Said very sincerely.

Mrs. Du also knew that Xia Chu was in charge of the family right now, but Cen Sanniang had a older mother named Fang.Although Aqiu returned to Yanju, he would go to the outer courtyard to take care of Mantou's grandfather from time to time.Except for the beginning of Xia, Fengchun and Nuandong are still young, so they can't do anything.It would be best if Xia Chukong could have a housekeeper to help him concentrate on serving him.

She is worried about Mrs. Liu.Knowing that Wei Xiaowan can help.But she doesn't like Wei Xiaowan.Wei Xiaowan had too many thoughts.Previously, she almost married Du Yansui.Sanniang didn't like her either.Besides, Wei Xiaowan's sister married Saburo Cui.She also has to be on guard.

Mrs. Du patted Wei Xiaowan's hand lovingly and said, "It's good that you have this kind of heart."

The topic turned back to helping the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion.Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "San Aunt, you are not polite. I don't think there is anything wrong, so I will help you with this. If I don't understand, I will ask you. Bao Zhun will let you rest comfortably and let San Niang It’s about raising your baby with peace of mind.”

Mrs. Du is most afraid of Liu's straightforward and careless.She smiled and pushed the matter to Sanniang: "Everything in the house is decided by Sanniang. If you want to help, Sanaunt is grateful. Let's see if Sanniang can handle it?"

While talking, Cen Sanniang came slowly with the help of Ah Qiu and Xia Chu.

"Oh, be careful! Why don't you come in a soft sedan chair? You are pregnant with the only seedling of the Du family, so be careful." Mrs. Liu stood up, took three steps at a time, and walked towards Cen Sanniang.

"Auntie, sit down quickly." Cen Sanniang held Xia Chu's hand tightly, fearing that Mrs. Liu would jump over if she didn't stand still, and directly crush her stomach into a door panel.

Cen Sanniang bowed to the old lady, greeted Wei Xiaowan again, and sat down.

The weather was hot, so she wore a light green tube top and a light swallow-colored double-breasted silk cotton skirt with large sleeves.He simply tied up his bun and tied it with a silver hairpin.Simple and elegant.Her cheeks are plump and her complexion looks good.

Mrs. Liu moved the stool and sat beside her, holding her hand with distress: "Look, it's been more than five months, and you're still so thin. Sanniang, I've really suffered for you."

Cen Sanniang just walked in, so she didn't know what they were talking about earlier.He said humbly: "Grandmother is considerate, and there are so many girls and women around me, how can I suffer so much."

Mrs. Du answered with a smile: "Your aunt loves you so much, I'm afraid your housekeeper will bother you."

Cen Sanniang understood, and said with a smile: "The Duke of the country is going to fight. There is nothing to do in the mansion after resigning from the entertainment. Director Du is able to do everything according to the rules, and send a girl to finish the job. No need I'm here to ask."

The meaning in the words is clear.Mrs. Liu pretended that she didn't say: "How can the Duke's Mansion call a girl butler? You are better off, no housekeeper is allowed. Just give birth to your son with peace of mind. Auntie will come to the mansion tomorrow to help you."

Cen Sanniang secretly wiped away the sweat from Mrs. Liu's directness again.Seeing Mrs. Du's wry smile, she ordered the girl to prepare a meal, and she clearly refused: "Don't dare to bother Auntie, the Duke of the State has not even built a government office, so there is nothing wrong."

Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "The daily shopping, sweeping, and kitchen orders are all things. Sanniang, you are still young, don't underestimate these, piled up in one place can make your brain hurt."

Wei Xiaowan wanted to please her, so she tugged at Liu Shi's clothes and said, "Mother, there is nothing to do in the Duke's Mansion right now, if you get busy, you can come and help San Aunt and San Niang."
