Concubine's plan

Before the eldest girl Chun'er left, she also said to the little girls:"Today, the madam and the girl are eating pot. The madam is kind-hearted and has prepared one for you. After packing up your belongings, you all go to the kitchen to wash the vegetables."

The little girl When we are growing up, we will stuff food into our mouths when we see it, and we can eat from a pot when we hear it. Although we have never eaten or seen what a pot is, we know it is delicious when we hear it, so naturally we will not After slacking off, they quickly packed their luggage and a group of little girls went to the kitchen house to prepare dinner.

Seeing that the yard suddenly became lively, Bai's mood improved a lot, so she said:"There should be more people in the house, so that people can be popular when it is lively.""

"Don't worry, mother, my third cousin has brought his cousin to live in the capital. He plans to settle down in the capital, and then my mother won't feel lonely."Xun Yingju comforted Ms. Bai with a smile.

The mother and daughter sat in front of the window and watched the excitement in the yard. They knew that the family would not be quiet today, and they both enjoyed it.

At dinner time, Mr. Wei brought Brother Heng. When they went to the big kitchen to eat, Xun Yingju arranged for the little girls to sit down with several hot pots and go there together. This time, Ms. Bai was no exception and went with her. Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai Yucheng, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhu and others all arrived. The servants who were waiting in the courtyard were very lively together.

Since arriving in the capital, Boss Bai and others have been busy. In addition, there are few people coming to the capital, so it is rare to encounter such a lively time. Today I finally saw the excitement in my hometown again, and I was laughing from ear to ear as soon as I came back.

"Haha, what a good day is today? Why is it so lively?"Boss Bai ran away for a day. The matters at Zhuangzi and preparing a dowry for Xun Yingju made him exhausted. When he came back, he saw so many little girls at home, full of energy, which suddenly made him energetic again. He Budu murmured.

Mrs. Liu didn't care. She was very happy to see the house so lively. She explained the many things that Mrs. Bai wanted to teach these little girls to do show work, and finally said with a smile:" I really don’t know how Liu Yatou has such a brain. It’s a very common thing, but she can do something good if she just messes around with it."

"She is the treasure of our family. Our family can live such a good life thanks to this girl. Our girl came over and asked her to learn show work from the fourth sister with these little girls. She is not young at all. I will arrange a marriage for her in a few years. If I can be a good embroiderer, I will be valued by my husband's family."Boss Bai, with the heart of an old father, now begins to worry about Huan Zhiyou's ten-year-old daughter.

"Yes, it is right for a woman to learn to do show work, and she should not be allowed to learn it from the other girls at home. Ms. Liu nodded in agreement. She thought more than Boss Bai. Although her daughter was blessed, now her family has become rich and her living conditions have improved. The in-law she found for her daughter will not be bad either. Life is like this. Play, who knows what will happen in the future? If you can master a survival technique, it will not be difficult to support your family in the future. Naturally, she will not refuse.

Boss Bai is not only thinking about what the old woman has in mind, he will light the fire and cook the pot with his son.. Mr. Wei was a foreigner and could not sit at the same table with other people, so he had to eat at the same table with Mr. Bai and his son. The little girls shared two tables. They had never eaten this thing before and didn't know how to make it at first.

The clever little girl was not in a hurry to do anything, but first stopped to observe what the people around her were doing. Someone saw Mr. Bai helping Bai, Xun Yingju and others light a pot, and then went to light it for the little girls. The little girls were embarrassed. , some were shy, while others boldly thanked Bai Laodao. In short, they no longer had to worry about how to use hot pot. It was the first time for Xun Yingju and Bai to eat hot pot with so many people, and they felt a little excited. Bai smiled Then he said:"The soup base of the pot today smells very fragrant. It seems that it is good to eat the pot with everyone.""

"If mom likes it, we can eat it more often in the future."Xun Yingju said without caring.

"The vegetables in the greenhouse are all sold for money, how can we eat them all?"Ms. Bai felt a little distressed. She knew that it was not easy for her daughter and eldest brother to grow these vegetables in the greenhouse. Naturally, she would not let them waste these vegetables just because of herself.

"Mom, we make money just to live a good life. What does this little green vegetable mean? Earning so much money is of no use if you can't even eat some vegetables."Xun Yingju felt very uncomfortable. Her mother had always worried about her, even now.

Ms. Bai thought that this was indeed the case. Now the conditions at home are better, and her life is better than when she was in Xun Mansion. No one wants to live a hard life, especially when they have the conditions to live a good life, let alone a hard life. I won’t say anything more.

Xun Yingju was very happy today, so she ate a little too much, and ate a plate of mutton. They also ate a lot of vegetables and bean products. Not only Xun Yingju, but also Bai Shi, Bai Laoda, Bai Yucheng and others all ate a lot. They all kept their eyes on the boiling water in the pot. As long as it was vegetables or When the meat is cooked, it will be picked up quickly.

Xun Yingju glanced at it. What surprised her the most was Mr. Wei. He was usually a polite person, but now he didn't care about his polite image. He kept fishing in the pot with his chopsticks, taking big mouthfuls. Eating the boiled mutton with big mouthfuls, sweat began to form on his forehead. He didn't bother to wipe it off and continued to put the vegetables that had not yet been cooked into the pot. Seeing that a table of vegetables and mutton was not enough for these people, after thinking about it, Xun Yingju remembered that the stove There were still some sweet potatoes and tofu in the house, so they got up together with Yusheng and went to Zaishi again to wash a few sweet potatoes, cut them into slices, and cut two pieces of tofu. When they saw that there was a piece of mutton the size of a palm next to them, they did not hesitate. He politely cut it into pieces and brought it to the dining hall with the sound of rain, and then to the table of Mr. Bai and Mr. Wei.

"Haha, Miss Six is ​​a real person. She not only cares about our eating pot, but also cares about how much we eat."Mr. Wei immediately became happy when he saw there was mutton, and his eyes turned into slits with laughter.

Seeing Mr. Wei like this, Xun Yingju really didn't know what to say. A gentleman who is usually so serious, when faced with delicious food, he actually She also became unable to control herself.

Xun Yingju suppressed her laughter and did not dare to lose her sense of proportion in front of Mr. Wei, so she said:"Sir, you are too complimentary. Although my family is not as good as those noble families in the capital, it can still give you a good meal." of"

"Haha, Miss Six has such a good temper."Mr. Wei endured the burning of the vegetables and meat in his mouth, and then burst out laughing.

The people at the table didn't bother to talk to Xun Yingju. They chatted for a few words and then started to eat.
