Chapter 40 Letter
Before leaving, Mother Hong told Brother Zhen, "Brother, you must be filial to the old man and the old lady, and you must pay more respects to the Duke and the eldest lady, and you must listen to the second/grandmother..."

Every time he said a word, Zhen Geer would nod obediently.

Qingci sent the two of them out of the room, Xie Xian'er looked out the window, and saw Baici quietly handing over the purse she had just obtained to Qingci.Luzhi also saw it, and when Qingci came back to Dongci, he asked, "What's the matter with that big Niu's family, Er/Grandma's reward can also be given away to anyone?"

Qingci sighed and said, "You blamed Baici wrongly, she asked me to keep it for her. If you take it back and be seen by the millionaire, you won't be defeated by him, or you will urinate on a monkey."

Xie Xian'er said, "That's a poor person, if you can help her in the future, just help her." Then she said to Brother Zhen, "Bai Ci was framed because of helping you. When you are capable in the future, if you want Remember to help her."

Brother Zhen didn't have much image of Baici anymore, and he didn't quite understand what it meant to be framed, so he just nodded ignorantly.Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stood up from the kang and said loudly, "It smells so good, Madam Zhou brought something delicious."

As soon as the words were finished, Nanny Zhou walked in with the white gull carrying the tray.Everyone laughed and said, "Brother's nose has already caught up with Tai Chi."

Nanny Zhou put the tray on the kang table and said, "This is a raisin cake that just came out of the oven. Er/Grandma, how about you try it. If it's good, grandma will take some to honor the old man and Mrs. Tai today."

Cakes taste best when they have not cooled completely.Xie Xian'er asked someone to pack two plates and put them in a food box, and took Brother Zhen to Fuqingyuan.

Before entering the house, I heard bursts of talking and laughing, and someone had already stepped in first.

The women and children are all here.There was only Mrs. Tai on the couch, her face was a little pale, and she was much thinner. I don't know why the old Duke is not there.

Mrs. Tai saw Brother Zhen's eyebrows stretched out with a smile, beckoned him to go over, took his little hand and said, "Oh, this kid is much fatter, his little face and hands have grown some flesh." She nodded at Xie Xian'er again, She affirmed her previous work, "The second daughter-in-law is not bad, and she has done her best for my brother."

Brother Zhen climbed on her lap and said, "I eat delicious cakes every day, so of course I'm going to gain weight." He quickly waved to Yinhong who was carrying the food box, "Take out the cakes and give them to Grandpa!" , grandma to eat." He said again, "Hey, where is grandpa? The cakes are delicious, so honor grandpa to eat."

Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "My brother is really filial. Grandpa is still recovering from his illness. We will eat after he recovers."

Yinhong opened the food box, Xie Xian'er took a plate and put it on the kang table and said, "This is a raisin cake, it's better to eat while it's hot."

Mrs. Tai took a bite and nodded frequently, "It's really delicious, soft and sweet, and it's quite different from other dim sum." She asked Yinhong to bring it to others to taste.

Yinhong went over with a plate, and the eldest lady, second lady, eldest grandmother, and third grandmother took one piece in turn.

When she walked in front of Tan Jinhui, she didn't reach out to take it, and said with a smile, "There are only a few pieces of this cake left, let's save it to honor uncle and the second master."

As soon as the words fell, An Ge'er, who had never eaten a cake, was disappointed, but still held back his words.Brother Ping and Brother Fang raised their mouths and shouted, "We haven't eaten yet, why don't Second Aunt (Uncle) take a few more yuan?"

Both the eldest grandma and the third grandma blushed a little, and it was not easy to feed the cake after taking a bite.Seeing their sons making a fuss, they all said, "Take the mother's piece and eat it."

The eldest lady smiled and said, "This cake is really delicious, but there are too many monks and too little porridge. Brother An, come and eat this piece from grandma."

Xie Xian'er laughed, "Mother-in-law can eat at ease, there is still a plate in the food box. My daughter-in-law counted them, and there are still more than two yuan each."

Tan Jinhui had no choice but to take a piece.

The cake received unanimous praise, but Brother Ping and Brother Fang who wanted to ask for a third piece were unable to do so.

Brother An couldn't help but said, "Second Aunt, I heard my second brother tell me a few stories, and he said it was you who told me, which was very interesting. It's just that the second brother is a little younger, so he didn't tell me very clearly. I want to hear my second aunt talk with my own ears.

Xie Xian'er smiled and said, "Okay, when Ge'er is not busy with school, I will come to Jiange and Second Aunt will tell you."

Angle nodded happily.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "I also heard from Brother Ping that the story of the stone monkey is interesting. It's just that Alibaba's story is not very clear, but the name is really weird."

Fifth Master Ma Jiayu has heard Brother Fang and me talk about it a long time ago, and he wants to hear it too, but he is too embarrassed to say it.He said, "I really don't believe it. The stories told by the second sister-in-law can be more exciting than the stories in the storybook?"

Tan Jinhui said with a smile, "Don't believe me, Fifth Master. Brother Ping said that day that Second Sister-in-law's story is better than that of Mrs. Xianer."

Brother Ping nodded from the side, "Yes, Second Aunt speaks much better."

Brother Fang and Brother Zhen both nodded, "Yes, yes."

Tan Jinxiu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.

Her words were the same as those of the children, but much harsher.

Xie Xian'er's face was a little heavy, and she said, "I heard that Miss Tan plays the piano well. It's a pity, I haven't heard it before." Seeing that Tan Jinhui was a little proud, she turned her head to the third grandma Qin who was next to her. Said, "It is said that Wei Sanniang's piano skills are the best in the Great Xia Dynasty, is it true?"

Qin Shi chuckled and said, "Yes, even the emperor said that the qin played by Wei Sanniang has a lingering sound. Every time a palace banquet or foreign envoys are entertained, Wei Sanniang will perform the qin art."

Wei Sanniang is the piano player in the palace.Tan Jinhui's face was a little red, and she twisted the handkerchief in her hand vigorously.

Xie Xianer pretended not to see it.She felt that she was already very kind, if she wasn't afraid that the eldest lady would be unhappy, she would directly refer to the young lady in the building.

Mrs. Tai laughed and said, "When you say this, the old woman's addiction is also aroused. Erlang's wife will tell one here, so that the old woman will be happy too."

Several children and the second wife, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Qin all wanted to hear it, so they urged Xie Xianer to tell one.

Xie Xian'er laughed, "The granddaughter-in-law will entertain her relatives in colorful clothes today, and act as a storyteller, so that grandma can enjoy herself."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Knowing that my younger brother and sister are talking about it specifically for grandma, we're just taking advantage of it."

Everyone burst into joy again.

Xie Xian'er knew that old people like to listen to stories about gods and ghosts, so she talked about "Red Jade" in Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio.Although she didn't remember everything and only gave a general idea, everyone was fascinated by it, sometimes sighing and sometimes joyful.

She was so engrossed in her speech that everyone was fascinated by it, they didn't even notice when the Grand Duke, Ma Jiaren and Ma Jiamin came in.

The accident ended with a happy reunion. After everyone sighed for a while, they realized that there were a few more men in the hall, and they all laughed.

Mrs. Tai laughed and said, "It really sounds good, we girls are all fascinated."

Although Grandpa Guo only listened to half of it, he thought it sounded good, but he didn't say anything.He took a letter to Mrs. Tai, and said with a smile, "This is a letter sent by Erlang. He was in Shunzhou and said that he had visited a blacksmith. That craftsman is not only good at forging iron, but also very useful in exploring iron ore." Well, it seems that a mine has been discovered and is being confirmed..."
