Allure of a Country Maiden

After the third bath, many ladies went back to talk to their husbands about marrying their daughters to the eldest son of Marquis Shengping. They also mentioned that Marquis Shengping had no concubines, the backyard was clean, and the family tradition was good.

The ladies said this to imply that they were husband-in-law, but it was a pity that the adults sneered at it. What man doesn't like to be hugged from one side to the other? Marquis Shengping is just a strict wife! Of course, they were not stupid enough to say this to their wives, they were just thinking about it in their hearts.

After leaving office the next day, several officials gathered together and talked about how clean the backyard of Marquis Shengping was. He didn't even dare to take a concubine, and he didn't dare to go to a brothel. His wife became a monk for ten months after she was pregnant for ten months. Just a strict wife.

When several people saw the third prince coming towards them, they quickly stopped and saluted. After the salute, they were worried that the third prince would talk to them and ran away.

Now who doesn't know that the third prince is so licentious that he is so angry that he is bedridden. They don't want people to think that they and the third prince are on the same path. In that case, if the emperor accidentally passes away, they will become cannon fodder. !

The third prince who was walking towards him saw them avoiding him like snakes and scorpions, and his heart was filled with anger, but he couldn't show it. He knew that it was useless for him to quibble in this situation. He could only put on an expression of humility, grievance, discomfort, and innocence. The attitude of self-purification is the right one.

He suppressed his dissatisfaction, nodded, and left with a look of despair on his face.

He thought about what a few people had just said about the backyard of Shengpinghou Mansion being too clean, and his heart moved.

Before his backyard even took shape, Shangguan Xuanyi and County Lord Ruian made it a mess.

Even his father was so angry about his affairs that he suffered from a disease of partial atrophy, causing everyone to avoid him like a snake and a scorpion. Now he is simply besieged on all sides!

Or if there was a fire in the backyard of Shengpinghou Mansion, Lord Rui'an would be upset. Shangguan Xuanyi always loved his fiancée, so he would naturally have a headache as well.

Since a direct attack on the direct lineage is unsuccessful, then let’s attack in the east and in the west!

The third prince began to think about countermeasures in his mind. He also felt that every man did not like to be hugged from one side to the other, not to mention that a person who had endured it for so long would be more likely to lose his power.

After the third bath, Xiaoer's family closed the door and thanked guests on the grounds that Mrs. Liu was in confinement.

The day after tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival. There were no moon cakes in this dynasty. Anyway, it was closed to greet guests recently and it was not suitable to move around. Xiaoer asked a craftsman to carve several patterned molds to prepare moon cakes.

Jingrui's brothers and sisters also wanted to help when they heard about it.

So Jing Rui and Jing Hao kneaded the dough to make the mooncake skin, Xiaoer and Yuner adjusted the fillings, and Xier helped. Under Xiaoer's guidance, the brothers and sisters started making mooncakes that they had never heard of or seen before.

Xiaoer's fillings include lotus seed paste, five kernels, jam and bird's nest.

Like the mooncake in the previous life, the lotus paste also contains salted egg yolk.

It was difficult to gain weight by eating alone, so Xiaoer deliberately squeezed juice from vegetables of different colors, asked Jingrui to knead dough of several colors to make mooncake skins, and made bird's nest mooncakes into salty and sweet ones, and gave them to several acquaintances and the palace. Sent there.

The molds designed by Xiaoer are very beautiful. The mooncakes produced are in green, yellow,... purple, just like blooming flowers.

Xi'er saw how beautiful the mooncakes were. She took the mold and made it more carefully. She loves all beautiful things: "Sister, these mooncakes are so beautiful. I want to make a few for each of my parents and you." I’ll also give some to Brother Yao to try.”

"What will Xi'er want to feed daddy?" Shen Chengyao heard his youngest daughter's words as soon as he walked in, and his heart felt warm. His daughter is indeed a caring little cotton-padded jacket for his parents!

"We are making mooncakes. Look, Dad, I made these. Aren't they beautiful?"

Several people saw Shen Chengyao walking in and hurriedly greeted him.

"Of course the things made by Xi'er are the most beautiful." Shen Chengyao came closer and took a look and praised.

Xiaoer saw a woman following Shen Chengyao, and the three brothers and sisters exchanged glances.

Xiaoer: "Dad, whose girl is this? Why haven't I seen her before?"

How could Shen Chengyao bring a girl back home for no reason?

The woman who was named hurriedly said, "Little girl Rou'er has seen two young masters and two young ladies!"

Only then did Shen Chengyao remember that there was a woman behind him. He had a headache and said, "This is a woman I rescued on the way. It's a long story. Let's have someone take her to the servants' room to settle her down first!"

Servant room? The woman behind Shen Chengyao was stunned after hearing this.

She said she was willing to be a slave to repay him, but he wouldn't really take it seriously and arrange for her to be a maid, right? !

Is this prince stupid? Why is it different from normal people?

Xiao'er didn't miss Rou'er's fleeting surprise. She raised a decent smile and said: "It turns out that she was the maid bought by dad. There happened to be a laundry maid who was paired with someone a while ago, so she took the place. . Yangmei, take this girl Rou'er down first! Let Aunt Rong teach her the rules tomorrow."

Yang Meifu Yifu said: "Yes, girl."

Laundry maid? ! It was like a bolt from the blue! She had forgotten when she had washed her clothes.

After hearing this, Rou'er couldn't help but look at Shen Chengyao. There was a hint of pleading and timidity in Rou Rou's voice: "Master."

"Then become a laundry maid!" After hearing this, Shen Chengyao didn't realize there was anything wrong. She didn't mean that she was from a peasant family. Because her family was poor, her brother wanted to marry a wife and had no money. Her stepmother wanted to send her to a wealthy family as a maid. In the name of a maid, he secretly sold her to a brothel. She finally escaped and begged him to buy her as a maid.

After listening to her words, Shen Chengyao decided to buy it after thinking of Xiaoer's childhood experience.

Since she comes from a farm family, she is naturally familiar with such simple tasks as washing and cooking.

That would not be considered as wasting ten taels of silver in vain.

Rou'er almost got angry to death after hearing this: How incomprehensible this person is!

"Miss Rou'er, come with me!" Yang Mei glanced at her from head to toe with X-ray eyes.

Rou'er immediately fell silent, leaving Qingshan without fear of running out of firewood. Now that she's in, everything can be settled slowly.

After Rou'er went down, Jing Hao immediately asked, "Dad, why did you come back after buying a maid?"

Xi'er poured a cup of tea for Shen Chengyao: "Dad, let's have a cup of tea first!"

Shen Chengyao: My little daughter is still considerate, but when the other children are older, they are interrogating their own fathers like a prisoner.

Shen Chengyao took the tea, sat down and said with a smile, "Xie'er still has a father's heart."

Xi'er: "Dad, next time you buy a maid, buy something more normal! That maid smells like body odor!"

puff!

Shen Chengyao sprayed tea directly!

The two brothers Xiaoer and Jingrui couldn't help laughing, Xier was so awesome.

Shen Chengyao calmed down: "Really? Why didn't dad smell it?"

"Of course vixens have body odor! Most people really can't smell it!" Xi'er said matter-of-factly.

puff!

Jing Hao: "Haha, Xi'er is so dazzling!"

Shen Chengyao was so excited by Xi'er's words, how could he even know about the vixen at such a young age.

He quickly told what happened.
