Bizhu nodded happily, "As long as you understand, let's clean up the bedroom quickly. The young master must be tired after riding in the carriage all the way and needs to rest early."

"Yeah!" Hongxiang turned around and went to the courtyard to bring the quilt in and spread it on the bed. Looking at the mandarin ducks embroidered on the quilt, she suddenly blushed and reached out to touch it.

Bizhu was walking in with a box and cage. Seeing her expression, you didn't have to guess what she was thinking, "Don't worry, sister, the madam has already said that as long as the younger sister can serve the young master, the madam will make the decision." You will be my aunt and you will have a son and a half daughter in the future. My sister’s future will be beyond my reach even if I try to impress her!"

"What are you talking nonsense about, sister? Madam is not just talking to me. Isn't sister here too?" Hongxiang blushed like a monkey's butt.

Bizhu seemed to hold her hand very affectionately, "How can my color be compared with that of my sister? Looking at the servants in our house, my sister is a first-class beauty. It was not because of this that Madam took my sister." Will you be transferred to the young master?"

This is true, there are thousands of colors, and there are differences in beauty.

The beauty of Hongxiang is like the delicate canna, with bright colors and petals so tender that water can be squeezed out.

Compared with her, my own beauty is inferior and not enough to attract men's attention.

But this also has advantages. For example, when the young master marries his wife in the future, her appearance can be kept because it is stable!
Bizhu's few words made Hongxiang feel elated, as if she was going to climb into the master's bed tonight and become the master of the family, no longer a slave.

"But..." Bizhu changed the subject. Not only did her tone change, but there was also a worried look on her face.

"What's wrong with sister?"

Bizhu said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's the second girl of the Shen family who lives across the street. You've seen it, right? Do you think... the master chose to build a house here because of her?" Otherwise it doesn't make sense!There are only two households here, oh, it should be three households, they are too remote.

Hong Xiang's face relaxed and her eyebrows raised, "Sister, what are you talking nonsense about? It's just a coincidence. Who is our young master and who is that girl? What you said is really funny."

Bizhu said hurriedly: "Don't take it seriously, I'm just talking casually."

"Hmph! I told you earlier, that girl is not even qualified to serve as the young master's servant. How could the young master care about her? The young master must have taken a fancy to the scenery here and was annoyed by the people in the city."

Bizhu hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, my sister is right. I don't think so, but we still have to be careful in the future. After all, there are too many wild girls who want to fly up the branches and become phoenixes. We live in the town." Since then, there has been no end to trouble.”

Hongxiang said: "Who are they? The young master has never even glanced at the beauties sent by the palace empress. How can the young master be the same as those arrogant and lustful libertines?"

Bizhu glanced outside, "But before I came in just now, I seemed to see the young master following that girl."

"What?" Hongxiang's voice rose unconsciously.

Bizhu thought it wasn't exciting enough, "That's right, I just followed."

The weather is sunny today, the autumn air is crisp, and the temperature is extremely comfortable.

Shen Qing was thinking about what she should do today to live up to the beautiful autumn scenery, but the person behind her made her almost crazy.

"What are you doing at my house?"

Shen Qing turned around fiercely. She was really speechless. Don't you have anything else to do?

Su Jing was originally close to him, but he had long legs. Shen Qing stopped suddenly, causing him to almost run into him. You must know that there is a ditch behind Shen Qing. It would not be fun if he fell.Before he could explain, the house manager who was following him quickly stepped forward to speak to his master.

"Second girl, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you've seen it. We came from town early in the morning, and we haven't packed up here yet, so we haven't got the breakfast yet. Can we use some at your house? We won't eat it for free. I I brought some cakes from the house, so I will ask someone to send some over, and some precious medicinal materials. From now on, we will be neighbors, so we should move around more."

As he said this, without waiting for Shen Qing's consent, he asked Xing'er to run back and get the things.

"Haha!" Shen Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, and was noncommittal about his excuse. There was no need for such good things in just one breakfast.

"If you two don't dislike it, of course I'll be happy. There's nothing good about farm food. Chunju, what should we have for breakfast?" In fact, she didn't know. She didn't care much about cooking now.

"Girl, last night our duck broke its foot. The eldest girl said to kill the duck, make a pot of duck soup, and make porridge for you in the morning."

One duck is certainly not enough for everyone.

Therefore, after the duck soup is cooked, the tenderest meat is removed, and the first soup is taken out. This is what the masters eat. Then, the remaining duck skin and duck skeleton are boiled half a pot with water and put on some whole grains. , the porridge cooked will be eaten by others.

Although it has been filtered, the home-raised duck is still very fragrant, and it is a rare delicacy for the servants.

Of course, for the first duck soup, some should be reserved for Mr. Huo. Shen Hui would not eat it herself.

Shen Qing thought for a while and asked: "Have you put the bamboo shoots?"

Chunju shook her head, "Not yet, I just warmed it in the stove overnight."

Shen Qing said: "Then put some young bamboo shoots and skim off the oil. I will go to the garden to pick some green vegetables." Since people are coming to eat, she can't really neglect them. She turned around and said to the master and servant: " You two, go back to the courtyard first, I'll be right back."

The house manager was about to nod, but Su Jing said, "I'll go with you."

Not to mention Shen Qing's surprise, even the house manager looked surprised.

"It's up to you!" She really didn't understand. If this man yearned for a pastoral life, then he could just reclaim a piece of wasteland and become a farmer. Why was he pestering him all the time?

The Shen family's vegetable garden is still to the east of the house. It is a piece of land enclosed by a bamboo fence. It is an acre and is divided into twenty or thirty vegetable ridges.

Because she was worried that it would be difficult to walk in the mud on rainy days, she liked to get into the garden.

So, they had people build the path with blue bricks and pile up the green bricks on both sides. This was learned from the bloggers in the previous life.

Su Jing had never been in a vegetable garden, so she didn't know what other people's vegetable gardens looked like, but the house manager following behind could see the difference, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"The trails are well made. You won't get your shoes dirty even if it rains or snows. The neat layout makes people feel comfortable." He admired sincerely.

Su Jing didn't understand and asked him, "Aren't all gardens like this?"

The house manager smiled and shook his head, "Young master has never seen other people's gardens, so naturally he doesn't know the difference. I can say without hesitation that the second girl has a clever mind. This garden is unique in the whole of Northern Xia."
