Across the Market

Chapter 253

"The master has heard the names of the two sons and Miss Zhu in the morning, especially Miss Zhu. The third master has mentioned it several times when he came here. The young master and miss of our family also love the cakes made by Miss Zhu. This time my wife heard that Miss Zhu is coming, and she was really happy for several days." The young man led the way while talking with a smile, obviously happy too.

Zhu Fu felt embarrassed: "Mrs. Lao is talking about it."

The little servant gave a chuckle, walked around a corridor, and walked out a girl who looked like a maid.

"Bai Ju, Miss Zhu, I have brought you back." Seeing the maid approaching her, the young man reached out and nodded at Zhu Fu, and continued to ask with a smile, "Is the master and madam together? And Mr. Zhu and Mr. Shen, I brought them all back together."

This Baiju is obviously a girl of some status, she politely caressed Zhu Lu and the others before replying: "Master just stayed with my son, brother and sister in the house for a while, and now I'm going to the front yard to collect money." , you take the two young masters and wait for the master in the front yard, and I will invite a few female relatives to see the wife."

The young man named Liancai smiled and said, "Sister Lao Baiju is here." Then he turned to Zhu Lu and Shen Yulou and said, "Master is probably going out again, please wait in the front hall."

After the male relatives left, Bai Ju's eyes fell on Sister Nuan. She saw that this girl was beautiful, and she liked it for no reason.

"It's so cute, she's as old as Miss Jiu, and I just found a companion." Bai Ju smiled and led a few people in.

This is a very elegant courtyard, located next to a lake, it is a two-story building.

In the yard, there were two five or six-year-old children kicking shuttlecocks, a boy and a girl, the girl was younger, and after kicking off the shuttlecock, she was chasing the boy.

"Ma'am, Miss Zhu is here." Bai Ju called out, and saw the two babies in the yard stop.

Bai Ju picked up the little girl nearby, and seeing her blushing face, she asked with a smile: "Miss Nine, look at you making a scene, isn't it very hot?" Then she pointed at Miss Nuan, "Look, take me with you." You have a young lady come back to play with you, are you happy? Look at that young lady, she looks a bit like the young lady."

The girl poked her head out, dropped the shuttlecock, and rubbed against Bai Ju to get down, then staggered towards Sister Nuan.

"Miss, play with me, you play with me."

Sister Nuan giggled, she scratched her head with her hand, a little shy, why was she so popular everywhere she went, she couldn't help feeling a little narcissistic.

"Bai Ju, let me bring some guests into the house every day." A man in a red shirt walked out, about the same age as Bai Ju, but more beautiful than Bai Ju.

"Hongmei, I got it." Baiju replied, holding the hands of the two dolls into the room.

Mrs. Xie San was sitting in the main room. She was not yet thirty years old, but she looked like a big girl, and she really deserved the word "beautiful as a flower".

Seeing Zhu Fu and the others, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Zhu, are you here?" She beckoned again, "Come to me quickly, let me have a good look." She took Zhu Fu's hand to look carefully, She always felt very familiar with the pair of sisters in front of her, as if they were naturally kind.

Bai Ju hugged Xie Jiu to Mrs. Xie San and said, "Ma'am, look at this little Miss Zhu, she does look a bit like our Miss Jiu."

Hearing what Bai Ju said, Mrs. Xie San was even happier, and hurriedly ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to cook more delicious food.

Aunt Shen originally thought that the prefect sent someone to pick them up because of her son Yulou, but seeing Mrs. Xie only holding the pair of sisters to watch, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

After being intimate with Sister Zhu Fu, Mrs. Xie San saw Aunt Shen, saw that she was old, and knew that she was the mother of the third master's friend, so she hurriedly asked Aunt Shen to sit down.

"It's really negligent, Mrs. Shen should not be disgusted." Mrs. Xie San said politely.

Aunt Shen hurriedly said: "Where is the negligence, the wife is being polite." Then she smiled and said, "It is also our luck in Yulou that we are favored by adults. We have not yet passed the provincial examination, and we are living in this magistrate's mansion. It really bothers you and your wife. gone."

Mrs. Xie San said: "Mr. Shen is amazingly talented. My husband knows it. He not only heard what Zizhan said, but also received a letter from Master Cao of Jinling. How many people can win the favor of President Cao? The son-in-law of your lord should take good care of you." Mrs. Xie smiled, and then turned to Zhu Fu, "Miss Zhu, I heard from Zizhan that your visit to Huzhou is not only to participate in the culinary competition. , is also to open the dim sum shop to the provincial capital?"

Zhu Fu only felt that the Mrs. Zhizhou in front of him was very kind, she really didn't have the airs of an official wife at all.

"That's right." Zhu Fu nodded with a smile, "I didn't expect you to tell Mrs. Xie all these things." Zhu Fu sat his sister on his knees and put his arms around her and said, "To tell you the truth, participating in cooking The competition is second, but the main thing is to integrate Fuji's business into the provincial capital."

Mrs. Xie San nodded again and again: "Miss Zhu, you probably don't know that Fuji's dim sum is very popular in the provincial capital. Zizhan said that he also persuaded you to bring your business to the provincial capital, but Zhu The girl seems to be worried? No matter what, I should choose a date to hold a few tables of banquets, invite those wives and girls to be guests at home, and get to know Miss Zhu well."
