Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

As soon as the embroidery workshop was completed, three embroidery jobs were received.

The autumn clothes of the servants of the Zhou family in Huaicheng, the screens of the wife of the magistrate Xu, and the shoe uppers of the Xu family in Nanguan Town.

Qiuniang is responsible for managing the entire embroidery workshop, from training embroiderers to controlling embroidery.

The old lady Bai carried the banner of command in the embroidery workshop and directed the embroidery work of the female workers with a loud voice every day, and her whole body was rejuvenated with new vitality.

According to the previous promise, Mrs. Zhen handed over several unique skills of the former Zhen family to Qiuniang.

Among the eighteen embroiderers, Qiuniang selects the two most perceptive to teach.

As for the girls from Shenshu Village, who has the best embroidery work is Xia Qinghe.

But Xia Qinghe declined the Bai family's request to become a shareholder. She had greater ambitions, which were to grow herbs and study medicine under Wu Langzhong.

The time will soon come to autumn.

Shenshu Village has finally emerged from the shadow of the drought. The corn in the field is growing better than before. It seems that this autumn will be another bumper year.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Grandma Du, Aunt Luo, and Aunt Chen, sister of Zhen, came to Bai's house.

Cousin Chen Xuan'er followed Aunt Chen to Bai's house.

"Grandma." Xiao Fuyuan came home from school, saw Grandma Du, and rushed towards her.

Grandma is in Lijiazhuang on the other side of the mountain. Although she only sees her twice a year, she likes this kind-hearted old lady very much.

"Hey, little Yuanbao, do you miss grandma?" Grandma Du asked.

"Think about it." Xiao Fuyuan said sweetly.

"Eldest aunt." Xiao Fuyuan showed a big smile when he saw the eldest aunt Luo Shi.

Like her grandmother, she also likes her aunt.

"Oh, my dear." Luo Shi hugged Xiao Fuyuan to his lap, pointed to a pile of things on the ground, and said, "These are all prepared for you, what you like to eat."

There are hickory nuts, jujubes, pears, apples, leg of lamb, pheasant, and various fried noodles made by Roche.

"Sister-in-law, I said that there is no shortage of these at home, and you brought so many." Zhen said with a smile.

"It's not worth anything. It's rare that my niece likes it." Luo Shi smiled and said gratefully, "This year's harvest is not good, thanks to your nephew giving me a cart of rice."

"His aunt's words are outrageous. In the past, our family's life was difficult, and you gave us a lot of food." The old lady Bai said.

After Xiao Fuyuan kissed her grandma and aunt, she realized that there were still two people sitting in the room.

A middle-aged woman and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old sister.

Xiao Fuyuan tilted her head to look at them, then at Mrs. Zhen.

"Little Yuanbao, I have met your aunt and sister Xuan'er." Zhen Shi said.

It turned out that this was Aunt Chen and cousin Chen Xuaner that my mother occasionally mentioned.

They still came during Xiaofu's full moon wine, and they didn't move around much during the holidays, so Xiaofuyuan had never seen them.

"Meet my aunt."

"I met sister Xuan'er."

Xiao Fuyuan practiced etiquette honestly.

"This is Xiao Yuanbao, she looks so handsome." Aunt Chen said, while Chen Xuan'er nodded reservedly and did not speak.

Xiao Fuyuan found that the old lady Bai was very enthusiastic towards Grandma Du and Aunt Du, but very cold towards Aunt Chen and Chen Xuan'er.

It seems that the relationship between the aunt's family and the Bai family is not good.

"...I've always wanted to visit my sister's house, but the family is so busy that I can't get away." Aunt Chen suddenly said, and took out a piece of satin from her bag and handed it to Zhen Shi, "Sister, this is specially given to you by your eldest niece." Xiaoyuanbao brought it, although she has never met her cousin, but she has been thinking about it."

Zhen Shi took the satin and put it aside, said calmly: "Jing'er has a heart."

The eldest aunt Luo Shi curled her lips secretly.

This sister-in-law is used to speaking nicely. If she has the heart, why hasn't she come to see Bai's house for so many years, but waited until the old Bai's life was better before coming to curry favor.

"I heard that our niece was made a village owner. I didn't believe it after I got the news. I only found out it was true after I asked my mother." Aunt Chen said while looking at Xiao Fuyuan.

"It's just a title." Zhen Shi said.

Just a title?
Why her daughter didn't.

Aunt Chen felt that her sister was too careful. From the time she came in and mentioned the good life of the Bai family to now, she didn't talk about any topics in depth, and guarded her like a thief.

Instead, he smiled at Yan Yan to his sister-in-law.

Don't even think about it, they are sisters connected by blood.

What is sister-in-law?She's just my mother's daughter-in-law.

That means they are down and out, otherwise, with Grandma Du, the big maid in the mansion, how could it be the turn of the two daughters of Zhen's mansion to recognize her as their mother.

"...Mother-in-law, we are also old sisters. I am glad that you are here today. I will cook some of your favorite dishes for you. We old sisters have a good drink at noon." The old lady Bai accompanied me for a while It was almost noon, so I stood up and went to the kitchen to help Xie Chuntao cook.

"Ma'am, I'll accompany you. Xiao Yuanbao loves my roasted chestnut chicken. I'll show off to my niece today." The eldest aunt Luo Shi knew that this was to leave a space for her mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law to gossip alone, so she found He made an excuse and left the upper room with Mrs. Bai.

"Second sister and Xuan'er, help Chuntao choose vegetables." Regardless of Aunt Chen's expression, Luo Shi sent the two of them out of the upper room together.

Soon, only Mrs. Zhen and Grandma Du were left in the room.

"...Mom, my sister always thinks my family is poor, why did you come to my house this time?" Zhen asked in a low voice.

Grandma Du sighed and said: "I was just about to tell you about this, she wants to promise Xuan'er to Panmei."

When Zhen'er heard this, she became angry and said: "Xuan'er is older than my sister Pan. In fact, age is not a problem. The main reason is that Xuan'er proposed to San Zhuang a baby marriage before, and the younger sister's family got rich and then broke the contract. My child It's not a melon, let her choose."

"That's right, Xuan'er has been dazzled in discussing relatives in the past two years, and she is getting older. I heard that your sister, Pan, passed the examination for a scholar, and went to Huaishui Academy to be more promising than the second child. In addition, Xiao Yuanbao was sealed. She moved her mind." Grandma Du said, "Miss, you are the most soft-tempered, I'm worried that you can't stand her noise and agreed, and you have a knot in front of your mother-in-law. So I heard two The lady wanted to come to your house, so she asked your sister-in-law to accompany her."

Grandma Du used to be the big maid beside Zhen's mother. When the Zhen family fell, she escaped with Zhen's and Chen's sisters.

On the way to escape, Zhen Shi was sold to Yangzhou by her cousin, and she almost cried and went blind.

Later, she was rescued by the Bai family together. The old lady of the Bai family at the time made the decision, married to a simple family in Lijiazhuang, and gave birth to a son.

The day is also stable.

Aunt Chen thought the Bai family was poor at that time, so she followed her to the Li family as an adopted daughter.

"Mother, don't worry, I will never soften my heart this time." Zhen Shi said.

"Hey, I thought you were sisters after all, and you could rely on each other. But I didn't expect that your life was so hard in the past, and she didn't care about you. Before in Zhen's house, Madam never treated her harshly. , even though he is a concubine, his food and clothing expenses are the same as yours. Just because he had a few days of hard life when he fled, he hated this and that." Grandma Du sighed.

"Let's not talk about her." Zhen changed the subject and whispered, "Mother, do you still remember my fourth aunt..."
