Beautiful woman

Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Outsiders
Qin Xiangxiang glanced at Zhai Tu quickly.

Zhai Tu looked stunned and had already reacted.Fan Yanguan, wasn't he the person he wanted to see but couldn't?

Qin Xiangxiang coughed hard quickly: "Ahem! That's great. In that case, let's go. Uncle Ma, take care of Uncle Zhai. I'll be right back."

As she spoke, she turned away.

Zhai Tu stared blankly as the Fan family's carriage turned around and asked Uncle Ma after a long while: "Is your Lady Qin always so decisive?" He was not stupid, he knew that Qin Xiangxiang just didn't want him. impulse.But is the matter of Yan Yin delayed like this?
Uncle Ma thought about it seriously: "Yes, our eldest lady has always been decisive."

Mrs. Fan called Qin Xiangxiang on the carriage: "Ms. Qin, get in the car quickly. My new house is still a little far away."

Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Qin Xiangxiang got into the car with her skirt in hand and crowded in the carriage with Miss Fan and her maid.

Madam Fan's maid looked very young, only about ten years old, and her movements were obviously clumsy.

Miss Fan thought Qin Xiangxiang was her good sister: "My maid has only bought it half a month ago, and I still don't understand the rules. Miss Qin, please don't mind."

Of course Qin Xiangxiang doesn't mind.

Mrs. Fan has a round face and a good temper. Seeing Qin Xiangxiang sitting solemnly, she smiled slightly at her and couldn't help but say more: "My house is also new. What's in the kitchen?" The arrangements haven't been completed yet, if Mrs. Qin needs anything later, just tell me."

Qin Xiangxiang said with a smile: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. However, if Mrs. Fan invites me back like this, if the elders in the family don't like it..."

Madam Fan showed a look of sadness: "To be honest with Madam Qin, my father is very busy and has a lot of social activities and is rarely at home. I am the only one left at home, and my mother may have been busy with moving to a new house recently. Damn, I have a bad appetite these days and eat very little. My mother used to like fish, so I thought of inviting Madam Qin to come and cook a full fish feast."

"I see." Qin Xiangxiang nodded and praised Miss Fan, "Miss Fan is really filial."

Mrs. Fan was a little shy: "It's just a little filial piety, and it's all my father's money." Her father didn't have much salary before, and he didn't give her much money, but since last autumn, she Her father suddenly became generous and gave her money to spend from time to time, and she actually accumulated a lot of private money.

Miss Fan is really interesting.

While talking, he passed by the fish shop. Qin Xiangxiang got out of the car and picked out a big herring himself.

The Fan family's new house is in the area outside Jinshui Bridge, very close to the city gate.

Mrs. Fan said: "The house prices here are cheap, but it's a bit far from the public house."

This place is indeed far away from the Propose and Sale of the Salt Solution Division. Fan Yanguan probably had to get up very early to rush to Gongxie Dianmao.

But Qin Xiangxiang took a look and realized that since Mrs. Fan could take such a good carriage to the streets, Fan Yanguan would not walk to go on duty.

Miss Fan said: "Cross Ruchengmen Street and walk further in, and you will find my home..."

Qin Xiangxiang was listening when the carriage suddenly stopped and the coachman said, "Hey, some border troops have returned to Beijing?"

Qin Xiangxiang opened a crack and happened to see a horse galloping past. The gentleman above seemed familiar.Looking closely, I saw the word "Mu" embroidered on a flag.

Qin Xiangxiang suddenly thought, is it Mu Ting's father, Wu Dehou, who has returned to Beijing?Mu Ting sneaked back to the capital, but was eventually discovered by his father. So he had to rush back to the capital to fish for Mu Ting?

Miss Fan opened the curtain generously and asked, "Who are these people?" Marquis Wu De rarely returned to Beijing, so Miss Fan didn't hesitate to do so, which was understandable.

The groom said excitedly: "It's Wudehou Mu's army. My wife is young and I don't care. The old slave saw Wudehou return to Beijing more than ten years ago. At that time, Wudehou defeated the Di tribe. , returned to Beijing in triumph, and was greeted by everyone, it was very lively."

It turns out that Wudehou has not returned to the capital for more than ten years.

Miss Fan was not that excited: "It turns out they are the Mu family's army guarding the border." It's not that Miss Fan is indifferent, but that the life of these troops seems to be far away from the capital, and it has nothing to do with little ladies like them. relation.She was born and raised in the capital, and there had been no turmoil in Dasheng for more than ten years. Those incidents of fighting and killing were far away from her.The Mu family army passed by very quickly, and in a moment there was nothing left but dust.

The groom just sighed and continued to drive his horse forward.

When Qin Xiangxiang got out of the car, he saw the newly painted Fan residence. Two newly painted red lanterns were hung on the low-key log-colored courtyard door.

Mrs. Fan is a head shorter than Qin Xiangxiang, but her body is chubby.The moment she lifted up her skirt and crossed the threshold, Qin Xiangxiang saw little pearls embedded in Miss Fan's shoes.

She looked away calmly.

Generally speaking, Miss Fan's whole body, except for her shoes, is very simple, making it difficult to tell her family background.

The Fan family's new house, once you enter, you can't tell the Fan family's family background.

Very ordinary green brick paving, empty yard, newly planted flowers and trees.

Mrs. Fan led Qin Xiangxiang to the kitchen, feeling a little embarrassed: "I just moved here not long ago, and I haven't tidied up yet."

The kitchen is quite big, and the furnishings are actually quite complete, not as exaggerated as Mrs. Fan said.There was also a cook in the kitchen, about fifty years old, wiping the dishes.

Qin Xiangxiang's sharp eyes saw that the plate was a silver plate.

The first-class nobles use jade plates, the second-class nobles use gold plates, the third-class nobles use silver plates, ordinary people use wooden plates, and the lower ones use porcelain plates.

When the cook saw Mrs. Fan leading Qin Xiangxiang in, she quickly stuffed the silver plate in her hand and covered it with a cloth: "Ms. Xiang, who is this?"

There is a word "fragrance" in Miss Fan's name.

Mrs. Fan introduced Qin Xiangxiang to the cook: "This is Mrs. Qin. Her cooking skills are extraordinary, on par with that of Fan Lou's little boss. Today I finally managed to invite Mrs. Qin to cook for my mother-in-law." Make a whole fish feast. Aunt Lan, you have to help Madam Qin."

Aunt Lan's expression was obviously not receptive, but she still said: "Don't worry, old slave. Madam Xiang, my wife is still talking about you today, saying why you went out again."

Miss Fan stuck out her tongue, turned to Mrs. Qin and said, "Ms. Qin, you only need to use the household items here. I have to go and accompany my grandma first."

Qin Xiangxiang smiled and said, "Okay."

Miss Fan was defenseless against Qin Xiangxiang, but Aunt Lan was not.She was wiping the plates, but she stopped wiping them. Instead, she took out a pile of wooden plates from the cabinet and said with a smile, "Mrs. Qin, just take care of me."

Qin Xiangxiang said with a smile: "I don't dare, but I have to trouble Aunt Lan to get angry."

In this room, Qin Xiangxiang was busy killing fish, while in the other room, Miss Fan held up her skirt and walked through the hanging flower door into the yard where her mother-in-law lived.

The room that Mrs. Fan lived in was also very simple. When Mrs. Fan came in, she was sitting with her servant Aunt Hua, sewing clothes.Mrs. Fan at home was also dressed very simply, with only two hollow silver hairpins on her head.

Seeing her daughter come in, she put down her needlework and looked at her daughter with concern: "Why did you go out so early in the morning?"

Miss Fan was very happy: "Mom, haven't you lost your appetite these days? I've invited a very powerful cook to come back and cook you a whole fish feast."

Mrs. Fan's expression suddenly changed: "You, what did you say? You brought an outsider back? Xiang'er, why didn't you tell me?"
