Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 248 Pastry
The old lady was also very surprised to hear that Li Yuanqing sealed Ruan Yu's rouge shop, and the rumors outside were even more shocking, saying that there were bad things in the rouge!
It's really nonsense, the old lady has always liked to dress up, everything she wears is exquisite, and naturally she knows a little about rouge and fragrance, this rouge is obviously the best, why is it said like this?

Of course, she mainly felt that this matter affected her original plan. She originally wanted Ruan Yu to be her eldest daughter-in-law. Now that the news spread, Ruan Yu's reputation would definitely be damaged, even though her shops were important to the Lin family. It's nothing, but at the beginning she valued her character, but now it's not a good time to marry her back.

"Why did you go to seal the shop?" The old lady called Guanshi Liu over to ask.

Liu Guanshi knew some of Li Yuanqing's movements, so he said cautiously, "I'm going to check Mihunxiang."

The old lady's slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, Lin's matter of Mihunxiang was done by her, she knew very well, why did she have something to do with Ruan Yu again?

"Can you find it?"

Manager Liu shook his head, "The seal of the shop was removed just now, and there were only a few customers at the door, but I feel that the young master always has a reason for doing things, and my aunt only met Miss Ruan before..."

The old lady understood the meaning of his words, could it be that the daughter was provoked by Ruan Yu?I really can't see why a girl with such a personality would do such a thing. Has she made enemies with Du Xiaoyu?
Just as he was thinking, he heard the maid outside the door come up to announce that someone from the Du family had come.

The old lady was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect that the Du family would come to the door by herself, but she thought that Li Yuanqing's marriage was approaching, so she waved Guanshi Liu to leave.

The weather was already cold, and several charcoal basins were burned in the house, unlike a farmhouse, which only relied on the hot kang to spend the winter. Du Xian and Mrs. Zhao walked in, their attitudes were very respectful, and they didn't dare to look around, they only treated the old lady Du Xiaoyu smiled, looking much more relaxed than the two of them.

"Sit down quickly, the weather is coming, I'm afraid it will be freezing on the road." The old lady was very kind, asked the maid to watch tea, and asked to add two braziers. It was blown by the cold wind outside.

Her attitude was completely different from before, and Du Xiaoyu was a little relieved. In fact, she had been worried about how she would be treated when she came to the Lin Mansion. Now it seemed that the old lady was still willing to accept their family, at least for the sake of face.

Du Xian said politely, "We should also come to visit you, old lady."

"It's too polite to bring so many things!"

"It's all from the field, and it's not worth much. Don't be disgusted with the old lady." Zhao said with a smile.

"Where is it? You planted it with your own hands. How could I dislike it? It's all intentional." The old lady asked the maid outside to find a few boys to come over and put away the things.

Holding a food box in his hand, Du Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "We also brought some pastries, I want the old lady to taste them, so we just made them."

The old lady raised her eyebrows, glanced at Du Xiaoyu, and laughed again, "You guys are so careful, I'm really hungry at this hour."

Du Xiaoyu walked over generously, opened the lid of the food box, and took out a stack of lemon yellow snacks.

The dim sum was made in the shape of bergamot, and the old lady was pleasantly surprised. She has been worshiping Buddha all the year round, and she likes bergamot.Seeing this, Caiyu hurriedly asked someone to go to the kitchen to get chopsticks and dishes. They are a big family, and chopsticks and other things are used for special purposes.

She smelled a strong fragrance before eating it, and the old lady asked in surprise, "Is it made of milk?"

Du Xiaoyu nodded, "I know the old lady likes it, so I specially hired someone to do it."

The old lady took a sip, and her smile deepened, "I didn't know that Feixian County also has such a master. The taste is really good, which one is it from?"

"From Wu Ren Tang."

"Oh? It seems that I will try it next time." The old lady glanced at the pastry again, "But this is what you came up with?"

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "I also came up with it suddenly, and it turned out to be pretty good."

If he is really smart, even if he is flattering, he does it openly and naturally, as if this kind of flattery is a matter of course.It was true, if she married, she would be her grandson-in-law, and she would also be called grandma.

The old lady looked at Du Xian and his wife again, they were so honest, exactly the same as what she asked someone to inquire about.

"Since you're here, let's stay and eat." She ordered the maid to call the kitchen to prepare.

When he came out of the Lin residence, it was already dark. Du Xian smiled all over his face and said to Mrs. Zhao, "It seems that the old lady likes us Xiaoyu quite a bit. It's really not in vain. That's all right, Xiaoyu." At least if you marry, you won't be angry with the Lin family."

It's so naive, Du Xiaoyu thought to herself, the old lady had no choice but to accept them, mainly because of Li Yu's decision, now kindness is also a matter of face, if she makes a wrong move in the future, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be caught , Who knows what kind of face will be at that time?
They didn't think so far, Zhao sighed, "I don't know about the Li family..." Li Yuanqing is already a county magistrate at a young age, and he might go to the capital in the future, so Du Xiaoyu wants to go with him?The Li family is the most important thing. If Mrs. Li is difficult to get along with, it will be a terrible thing.

"Mom, shall we go to my cousin's place?" Du Xiaoyu smiled, "I haven't seen her for a long time, and it's getting dark, Dad, you're good at driving a carriage, so you can go back tomorrow."

Du Xian just learned how to drive a car, and the road was bumpy. Hearing this, Du Xian scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's right, sit again, your mother can't take it anymore."

The three of them went to Huang Xiaoying's side. Unexpectedly, Lu Dechang and his wife were also there. It was very lively, and their voices could be heard coming from the high wall from afar.

Seeing them coming, Huang Xiaoying was very pleasantly surprised, "Uncle and aunt, Xiaoyu, why did you come? Did you go to the shop to urge the clerks to rush to work for the dowry?"

Hearing her joke, Du Xiaoyu said, "I'm here to see my nephew."

Huang Xiaoying blushed, "Why is your nephew, how old is he?" She was only pregnant for two months, and she couldn't tell even when she was wearing thick clothes.

Du Xiaoyu laughed and looked at Lin Meizhen, "Sister Meizhen, Brother Lu, what are you talking about? I heard it outside just now."

"Let's talk about finding an apprentice for your brother-in-law." Lu Dechang smiled. "His unique skills must be passed on to others, right? When he has a child, time will always be short. It won't be too much to have an apprentice in the store to help. busy."

Thinking of Lin Qingzhen's way of cutting bamboo sticks, with such concentration, Du Xiaoyu clapped his hands in agreement, "That's right, have you found a good candidate?"

"No, it's a pity that Tuwang doesn't like it, otherwise I'll tell him to learn it." Tuwang is the son of Lu Dechang, who is also seven years old this year.

Lin Meizhen glanced at his husband-in-law, "He is a good student, how can you tell him to learn this? Besides, the mother-in-law would not agree, saying that there is no scholar in the family, don't mention how envious my sister-in-law's family is." What's more, the Huang family produced a scholar, Huang Lishu, who might be admitted to Juren in the future.

They all hope that there will be someone with great ambitions in the family, and Aunt Wu is no exception. However, Tu Wang heard that he really likes reading. It would be a waste to learn how to make paper horses.

Lin Qingzhen didn't say a word either, he usually seldom talked, only occasionally looked at each other with Huang Xiaoying, both of them had smiles on their faces, they were as gentle as a small bridge and flowing water.

They have slowly cultivated their feelings for each other, Du Xiaoyu saw it and smiled slightly.

"Why don't you ask in our village, Miss Wu knows a lot of people and can always find suitable apprentices." Du Xian said, "Compared to those children in the county, I think the ones in our village are more simple and willing to endure hardships."

These words are to the point, Lu Dechang nodded, "Uncle said the same thing, I will talk to my mother tomorrow."

The couple talked for a while and then left. Lin Qingzhen went to tidy up the empty room and let the three of them stay.

I haven't seen Huang Xiaoying for some time, so Du Xiaoyu chatted with her on the kang. Hearing that today is going to the Lin Mansion, Huang Xiaoying was quite surprised, and asked worriedly, "How does the old lady treat you?" I also heard some things from Zhao Dongzhi, knowing that the Lin family is quite dissatisfied with the Du family.

"It's not bad, it didn't embarrass us."

Huang Xiaoying held her hand, "At first I heard that you and Wen Yuan couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it, you grew up together, and your relationship is deeper than others. In the future, no matter what Difficulties, we can find solutions together.”

Knowing that she was reassuring, Du Xiaoyu smiled and asked, "Have you bought this yard now?"

"I bought it, my mother, hey..." Huang Xiaoying sighed, "I was afraid that my mother-in-law would not give me the money. In fact, after I said it, the mother-in-law didn't know how refreshing she was, so she immediately took out the money. My mother is a villain. The heart of a gentleman, my mother-in-law even handed over the land deed to me."

Du Xiaoyu clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "No wonder my aunt didn't tell us, because she was afraid of laughing at her. It seems that your mother-in-law is really kind to you."

"Yes." Huang Xiaoying stroked her stomach lightly, thinking that it would be great if she gave birth to a boy, and her mother-in-law would be very happy, but this is not something she thought about, "I didn't see Xiaomei last time, nor Knowing how she is, I told my mother to take a look at it some time, but she refused, saying that she was afraid of accidents on the road. By the way, isn’t my uncle good at driving a carriage, and it should be very fast to make a carriage.”

"Father only learned this, and he is still not proficient. Auntie is right. We were bumped this time. Hey, do you want to go or talk about it next time."

It means that Du Xian's driving skills are poor, Huang Xiaoying burst out laughing, "Forget it, let my uncle practice hard."

The two talked for a while before taking a break.
