Chapter 258

"Okay." Ding Xiang said, and began to put vegetables in the pot, and winked at other people. Slowly, the scene became lively.

Gu Yao smiled, although she was still a bit cautious, but it was better than being alone with a large table of dishes!
Yijia Village

Yi Jiang and the others were all resting in the yard. Suddenly, Du Juan came in from the outside with a smile and said, "Master, madam, there is a letter from the capital."

"What." Everyone looked at Du Juan who walked in.

Du Juan came to where Qin Shufang was, handed the envelope in his hand to the other party, and said, "Xiao Xu sent it just now."

"What about others?" Yi Jiang frowned and asked.

Du Juan said, "I asked him to come in, but he didn't want to, so he went back to the county seat."

"This little Xu, every time he is asked to come back for the New Year, he doesn't want to, and I don't know what he thinks." Master Li said to Yi Jiang while eating a snack.

"Who knows!" Jasmine shrugged her shoulders, then said to Qin Shufang with a smile, "Ma'am, what did you say in the letter!"

I've been walking for so long, and I don't know if I've taken care of myself, if I've lost weight or something.

After reading the contents of the letter, Qin Shufang smiled and said, "Yao'er has gone to the capital and lives in Mr. Xuanyuan's house. She also met Miss Chen and said that the people of Xuanyuan's family are very kind to her."

Yi Jiang and the others smiled and said, "It's good when we arrive, it's good when we arrive."

"I don't know if this girl has lost weight." Master Li said, shaking his head helplessly, and said, "But considering Sister Yao's temperament, I guess she won't treat my stomach badly."

The others immediately thought of Gu Yao's appearance when he was in the village, and immediately laughed.

After laughing, Yi Jiang sighed and said, "According to the days, it will be at least three months before this girl comes back."

"No, I don't know if I can catch up with the start of school." Qin Shufang shook her head and said.

The school in the village was just completed half a month before the Chinese New Year due to the support of the folks in the village, but the tables, chairs and benches have not been moved in yet.

But these things have already been ordered, and they should be delivered after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"I guess we can't catch up." Master Li said.

"By the way." Yi Jiang suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Zhuo Qin, how did you find the teacher?" Don't expect the students to come, but the teacher doesn't.

Zhuo Qin smiled and said: "I've found it, I found two gentlemen, both of which are clean, and one is from the county seat, a scholar who was admitted this year."

"Because there is no money in the family, so I plan to be a teacher and forget it, but the college in the county doesn't like him, so he came to our school."

"Although there are only scholars, it is enough to teach the children in the village." Zhuo Qin took a sip of tea, and then said, "There is another one who came from another place."

"I went to the county government to check the household registration, and sent someone to the place where he used to stay to ask the locals. He is also a scholar."

"He is younger than the other one. He is 25 years old and has a 2-year-old daughter. I promised him that he can live in the school with his daughter."

Qin Shufang smiled and said, "Then where is he now?"

"I arranged it in Yunshui Pavilion. It happens that there are many people and lively there. I will let him come to the village after a year of opening. Then he can live in the school directly."

Zhuo Qin smiled and said: "I plan to raise the puppies in the winery to be bigger, and I will send two to the school to guard the gate."

"En." Yi Jiang nodded and said, "Since Yao'er has entrusted you with the affairs of the school, then you can follow your own ideas."

"Ouch."

Just as Zhuo Qin was about to answer, Xiao Bai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly yelled towards the door, and everyone looked out of the door, just in time to see the first day of the junior high school coming back.

"I'm back on the first day of the junior high school. How are things going? Is it going well?" Yi Jiang looked at the first day of the junior high school and asked.

"It went well." On the first day of the lunar new year, he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Shen is very happy, and said that he will promote this batch of wine during the Chinese New Year."

Yi Jiang nodded.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the village is very lively. The main reason is that everyone has earned a lot of money because of the off-season vegetables.

So, this Chinese New Year is also comfortable.

Yi Dahai came here in the afternoon. He is living a very comfortable life now. When he has something to do in the field, he goes to visit it. When he has nothing to do, he rests at home or chats with people in the village.

"Father, you are here." Qin Shufang saw Yi Dahai coming in, smiled and took Yi Xuan and walked forward a few steps, and said, "Sit down and watch the child here!"

"Okay, okay." Yi Dahai took the child, found a seat and sat down, and began to tease the child. Jasmine was on the sidelines, and would help if needed.

Capital
Gu Yao's New Year's Eve dinner is still eaten with Ding Xiang and the others. It is different at night from noon, and they eat some must-eat dishes during the New Year.

For example: braised fish, beggar's chicken, salt and pepper shrimp, braised pork and so on.

The chef is still Gu Yao, and the other maids in the courtyard are assistants.

The weather at night was also very good. It was snowing, not too big. I sat in the house and ate the New Year's Eve dinner, admiring the snow outside.

Don't have a taste!

When the Xuanyuan family came back from the palace, Gu Yao was playing games with Ding Xiang and the others.

It was a card game, and the cards were made by a few of them in the afternoon by scrapping a lot of paper.

"Sister Yao, I'm back." As soon as Chen Yanni arrived at the gate of the yard, she yelled inside, wondering why she didn't see the maid!

"It's Miss Yanni's voice."

"Miss Yanni is back."

"Miss Yi, Miss Yanni is back."

Several servant girls stood up in a hurry and ran to the door to greet Chen Yanni, pouring water and arranging cakes, everyone was busy all of a sudden.

Gu Yao dropped the cards in her hand, stood up to greet Chen Yanni, and said with a smile: "Sister Yanni, you are back, is the palace banquet fun?"

Chen Yanni gave the cloak on her shoulders to the servant girl, then pulled Gu Yao to sit beside her, and said, "That's it, drink, enjoy singing and dancing, I find it very boring."

Then his eyes fell on the card next to him, and he asked, "What is this?"

"This is a card." Gu Yao spread out all the cards with a smile, and said, "We were playing cards just now, do you want to play together? I can teach you."

"Okay, okay." Chen Yanni said with a smile.

Gu Yao first explained to Chen Yanni how to play cards, and then asked a few maids to come and play together.

Chen Yanni didn't know how to do it at the beginning, but she quickly learned it. Not only that, she even won several hands!

Because it was New Year's Eve, Gu Yao, Chen Yanni and the maids had a lot of trouble that night.

The next day is the first day of junior high school, so there is no need to say hello.

It was too late for Gu Yao to wake up, which startled her.

Ding Xiang was guarding the door and heard the commotion inside, knocked on the door, and asked in a slightly higher voice: "Miss Yi, are you awake?" It should be almost the same!

"Wake up, come in." Gu Yao said, rubbed her eyes and sat up, then took a breath.

"The servant girl came in." After speaking, Ding Xiang pushed open the door, brought in the wooden bucket that was prepared just now, said hello and put the wooden bucket in the washing place, and said, "Miss Yi, come here first Let's wash up."

"kindness."

Ding Xiang lifted the lid of the wooden barrel, scooped hot water out of it and put it into the washbasin next to it, and when Gu Yao came over after rinsing, handed her the towel that was squeezed dry.

Then poured the water again, let Gu Yao soak her hands, waited for the hands to warm up and then dried them, and then got dressed.

"Is Sister Yanni awake?" Gu Yao asked.

While putting on clothes for Gu Yao, Ding Xiang said, "I just woke up not long ago."

After hearing this, Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then she shouldn't have gotten up very late, but she still asked, "Ding Xiang, do you think I'm going to get up too late!"

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "It's not too late. Today is the first day of the new year. It's normal to get up late."

"That's good." Gu Yao said.

"However, today is the first day of the junior high school, and the collateral children will come to greet Mrs. Madam today." Ding Xiang said.

"A side line?" A side line of the Xuanyuan family?Gu Yao frowned, and asked: "Then is there any problem for me to go there with Sister Yanni?"

"No problem, Ms. Yi, you are a guest. Logically speaking, it doesn't matter if you don't go." Ding Xiang said, let Gu Yao sit in front of the dressing table and start combing her hair.

"Please An, I still have to go." Otherwise, it would be very impolite, after all, he lives in someone else's house. As he spoke, Gu Yao looked at himself in the bronze mirror and frowned.

A modern mirror is better, even the bronze mirror can't see clearly.

"As long as Miss Yi is happy, by the way, does Miss Yi want to have breakfast with Miss Yanni?" Ding Xiang asked.

Gu Yao thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Sister Yanni's place to have a look after I pack up."

"Okay, Miss Yi." After Ding Xiang finished speaking, she began to comb Gu Yao's hair seriously.

Ding Xiang's hands are very dexterous, therefore, during these days in Xuanyuan Mansion, Gu Yao's hair is always taken care of by Ding Xiang.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Yao packed up and took Ding Xiang to find Chen Yanni.

Chen Yanni is combing her hair right now.

Although Chen Yanni got up first, she stayed in bed for a while later, so she cleaned up slower than Gu Yao.

"Sister Yanni." Gu Yao walked in with a smile, and saw that Chen Yanni was still cleaning up, so she sat on the side and waited with a smile.

Chen Yanni slightly turned her head to look at Gu Yao, smiled, and said, "Sister Yao is here, by the way, have you had breakfast yet?"

"No, I want to eat with Sister Yanni." Gu Yao showed a big smile towards Chen Yanni.

"What a coincidence, I thought the same way, but unfortunately, I moved too slowly." Chen Yanni said a little annoyed, she knew that she would not have stayed in bed just now.

"It's okay, I can wait for Sister Yanni to pack up before eating, there's no rush." ​​Gu Yao said.

After a while, Chen Yanni packed up, and at this time the breakfast ordered by Ding Xiang was served.

Because it's almost lunch time, the amount of breakfast is not too much, it should be enough to fill you up!

"Sister Yanni, people from the collateral line are coming to greet Master Xuanyuan and the others today, so let's go there after breakfast." Gu Yao took a sip of porridge, and then said to Chen Yanni.
