(Suddenly, the temperature dropped due to the strong wind and rain... If you are a literary and artistic person, please vote and collect to keep warm, please~~~)

The sky has darkened and the lights have turned on, making the woman sitting on top seem to be wrapped in a layer of gauze, making her look inexplicably soft.

To be fair, the third wife is not bad looking, but she is just not bad. Her upright and peaceful appearance was not outstanding when she was young, but after she is over thirty, she does show a bit of momentum. Especially when she is wearing makeup, she is even more attractive.

The nobility is overwhelming.

Aunt Yu calmed down and spoke carefully, "I'm a useless slave. I didn't do a good job. I came here to ask my wife to punish me."

The third wife didn't say anything for a long time. She just held a small hand stove and looked at the camellias embroidered on her purple double-breasted coat, one by one, very carefully.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Aunt Yu didn't dare to breathe. She squatted there, and soon her legs were so sore that she couldn't stand. Gritting her teeth, she simply knelt down. The spot was just right.

The carpet was not laid down, and on a very cold day, the cold air quickly seeped through the clothes, and it was biting to the bone.

About to have a cup of tea, the third wife suddenly saw her and said, "Hey, when did you come and why didn't you say a word? Get up and talk."

Where did Aunt Yu dare to get up? She lowered herself further and further, "What happened today is that I didn't do my job well and let a little girl from outside hit us in the face. That day, the Mu family's wife would break into my wife's place, although she didn't

It’s my servant’s business, but it’s my servant who didn’t restrain the people in the kitchen, so that little screwdriver took advantage of it and made my wife upset.”

After hearing what she said, the third wife stopped pretending to be kind and snorted coldly, putting down her face, "I thought you were old and dim, but who knew you were not deaf or blind? Now that you can see clearly, how could you let such a thing happen?

?You are my roommate, and I promoted you to take care of things, but you make jokes one after another under your hands. Isn’t this intentional to bring trouble to me?"

Aunt Yu repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me, madam."

After waiting to see that her forehead was all red and swollen, the third wife finally said, "Okay, it's Chinese New Year, and you have to leave my place soon. Don't let anyone say that I'm being disrespectful to my subordinates. Now that I know I'm wrong,

Do you know how to change it?"

Aunt Yu replied tremblingly, "I know. I will restrain everyone in the kitchen in the future and never make such mistakes again. After the New Year, I will find another mistake and let Sister Mu take the initiative to resign. It will not affect my wife's reputation."

.”

The third wife smiled softly and said, "She has made some progress. But Sister Mu, please let her go for a while. I'm afraid there will be some use for her. Just keep an eye on her and don't let her cause trouble."

Although Aunt Yu had some doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She answered with her swollen and painful knees and limped back.

The confidant's maid, Zhu Zhenzhu, stepped forward and whispered, "It's time for Aunt Yu to beat her. Fortunately, she wasn't alone in front of the Third Master last time. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble she might have uncovered?"

"Isn't it?" The third wife got angry when she mentioned it, but then she smiled again, "That's why I kept Sister Mu to keep her alert. This girl is a sensible person. When she heard that she had won the reward, she immediately

Distributed to everyone. If she hadn't said a few words in front of me today, I'm afraid Brother Qing wouldn't have been so lucky as to catch up with Mr. Wu."

"That's Madam's clever plan!" Looking at her proudly, Pearl said flatteringly, "Let the second young master wait at the back and push forward at the critical moment. No one can say anything."

The third wife was even more proud, "The old lady refuses to stand up for Brother Qing, now I don't ask her, can't I still get things done? Humph, I have never seen such partiality. Even if the master is not her biological son, at any rate

You've been serving her for so many years, right? It's better that your biological one is still an official, so why don't you pick her up to enjoy the blessings?"

"That's right." Pearl followed the words, "I'm afraid the old lady is too old and confused, and she doesn't think about it. If she doesn't rely on her son and daughter-in-law, who else can she rely on? Madam, don't be angry, it's not worth it to hurt yourself.

It's just that Mr. Wu was invited by the Cui family, can he be reliable?"

The third wife smiled and said, "You don't understand this. The Cui family has nothing but a reputation in the past. If not, we wouldn't be able to invite Mr. Wu. Even though he doesn't look very good, he is

The previous dynasty and the current emperor had personally issued edicts to invite this person. But they were unwilling, otherwise they would have become officials long ago. Although Brother Qing did not become a disciple, at least he had a name in front of him, and when people asked him in the future, he would always

He can take advantage of him. By the way, remember to call the people in his room tomorrow. I have to give him a good beating. These days, let him calm down and study hard. Don't let him play with cats or dogs.

You know, there are countless people out there who want to curry favor but can’t!"

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that my family had a shallow foundation. Although I made a fortune during the war, it was not as good as the scholarly family like the Cui family, and I couldn't help but feel unhappy.

Zhenzhu didn't know, thinking she was in a good mood, and said in a low voice with a red face, "My wife told me last year that she asked me to stop taking anti-pregnancy decoction for the New Year. Yesterday, Aunt Wu came to ask about the dispensing of the medicine. My share...

…Just don’t want it, right?”

"Why are you panicking?" The third wife's eyes were still smiling, but she was more cold. "I said this last year, but now my family is busy and I can't live without you. Besides, if you have a baby,

Will you feel better if the master brings someone in again? Why don't you wait for another two years? There's no rush. It's getting late now. Come on, let's go have a family reunion dinner."

The pearl complied softly, but when it landed on the third wife's face behind her, there was a touch of bitterness and resentment.

After a busy day, Nianfu finally returned home and felt that her steps were particularly brisk. As soon as she reached the door, she couldn't help shouting, "Mom! Grandma, grandpa, I'm back!"

The golden den and silver den are not as good as the kennel at home. After being apart for just one day, even the rags in the yard looked cute in her eyes.

"Sister Mu, stop screaming! Your mother has just gone to bed, don't disturb her." Hongyu, the daughter of the Li family, said as she rushed over and opened the door.

Nianfu immediately fell silent, smiled and patted the little girl's yellow-haired head, "Good sister, thank you for looking after my house. I just sent you a big meat bun, and I asked Aunt Li to leave a big one for you.

Go back and eat quickly."

Hongyu smiled and thanked her, turned around and ran away.

Hearing the old voice of his grandfather calling in the house, Nianfu rolled his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and jumped into the house with a flash of light, "Dang, dang, dang! Look, what is this?"

The second elder's eyes lit up, "Hey, where can such good meat come from?"

Nian Fu said proudly, "I earned it!"

Immediately, she gave an overview of what happened at Ouyang's house today, and emphasized that she had not offended anyone, and she had also made the third wife happy. The second elder was also very happy to hear that.

But after hearing about the salad dressing that Nian Fu made, Father Shi seemed a little hesitant. After a while, he tentatively asked, "Girl, didn't you learn that dish from grandpa when he took you to Hou's house?"

Hou family? Mysterious fiancé? It’s a bit strange to read Fu, “No. Why did grandpa say that?” Even if you learned it from his family, so what?

Seeing her ignorance, Aunt Shi smiled and said, "Silly boy, a family dish like this is just like the tofu made by our family. You can't steal it without the owner's permission. Otherwise, everyone will know it, and his family will

What other signs are there?”

Uh... Nianfu suddenly remembered that the ancients still paid great attention to the protection of intellectual property rights. No wonder so many handicrafts were lost. Even a foodie like Mr. Wu only asked about the general method of making salad dressing, but did not go into the details.

Just when he was trying to figure out how to cover up this lie, Father Shi said enthusiastically, "It must have been the child from that family who told you when we took the bus there, right? I remember that he talked a lot along the way, talking about this and that.

Thank you for your care, you actually remembered the food. That family seems to be Xiao or something?"

Ahem, a grandpa who knows how to think things through is a good grandpa. Nianfu secretly gave a thumbs up in his mind and escaped on the pretext of wanting to chop meat into dumplings.

Aunt Shi was so anxious that she pounded the bed, "No! Such good meat, just keep it for the Chinese New Year! If you want to eat it, it's for you and your mother!"

Soon, the granddaughter ran back with a serious look on her face, "Don't make any noise, mom is still sleeping. I am the head of the family right now, and I can eat whatever I say. I will chop it up in a while, and you guys have to help me wrap it up."

, otherwise I will show you my hunger."

Seeing their granddaughter run away in such a high-spirited manner, the two elders of the Shi family couldn't help laughing at first, but at the same time they looked sad. But this sadness must not be discovered by their granddaughter. They have to hold it back, hold it back!

When Huiniang was woken up, she smelled the long-lost aroma of meat.

Before she understood what was going on, her daughter had already stuffed a small, white and fat dumpling into her mouth, "Eat it, it's stuffed with pork and cabbage. I didn't squeeze out the vegetable juice, but it's nutritious. Grandma and grandpa have already eaten it."

Up."

Madam Hui didn't understand, so she swallowed one with difficulty. She wanted to ask where it came from, but another mouthful of dumpling soup arrived. "You don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you're full."

So the mother and daughter, one and the other, finished two large bowls together. Nianfu touched Huiniang's belly and said matter-of-factly, "The watermelon is ripe."

Hui Niang couldn't help but look at her angrily, "You're still a little girl? No matter how big or small you are!"

"If you have the energy to curse, it seems that these dumplings are working." Nianfu chuckled and put down the bowl and chopsticks and took out the reward money he got today.

Huiniang was startled, "Where did this come from? Ah! Could it be that the third master saw you again?"

Nianfu rolled her eyes. A mother who overthinks things is not a good mother. She quickly told what happened at Ouyang's house today, but it was different from reporting good news but not bad news in front of her grandma and grandpa. She mentioned the embarrassment between Aunt Zou and Aunt Yu today.

Said it too.

"Mom, where did we block their way to target us like this?"

Hui Niang looked ashamed when she asked her daughter, "This...Mom really doesn't know. If it hadn't been for what happened later, I wouldn't have seen these people. I didn't even say a few words to Aunt Yu, so...

Sister-in-law Zou only thinks that she is too lazy and talks too many weird words, how could she have such a bad intention?"

"Okay! Then don't worry about it. Leave this matter to me." Nianfu packed up the dishes and prepared to leave. Suddenly he turned around and asked, as if remembering something, "What happened at home today? What happened to grandma and grandpa?"

Looks worried?"

"Ah? Uh... it's nothing! Hey, you kid is just too worried. I guess your grandma and grandpa are just worried because I'm sick."

Oh - the girl responded and went out without paying attention. Madam Hui breathed a sigh of relief, but there was also a layer of worry in her eyes.

But she didn't know that Nianfu was still hiding behind the crack in the door and peeking after she had left the house. It wasn't until he saw the worried look on her face that he turned around and thought about it before going to the kitchen.

She put the frozen raw dumplings outside into the basket and covered it, and put the remaining dumplings in the pot into bowls and put them away. The girl cleaned up the kitchen as usual, boiled water for the family to wash, and then checked the doors and windows.

, turn off the lights and go to sleep. (ps: Traditionally when making dumpling fillings, the water in the vegetables is forced out with salt and then mixed with the meat, but this will lose a lot of nutrients, so now a healthier way is to first mix the vegetables with oil to lock them in

Moisture, add meat and other seasonings. Whether you like it or not depends on your personal taste. Hey, give it to those who watched the last part! (^_-)) [e= "There is a Fresh Wife at Home"]
