Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The matter of Ji Shi Tang caused a lot of trouble.

A lot of storytellers came here to watch it, got some material to talk about, wrote some stories, and started talking at the roadside tea stalls.

With a slap of the gavel, the bearded storyteller immediately spoke vividly, his voice was like a bell, and the people in the pavilion under the corridor could hear it clearly.

"...The craftsmen were in a hurry, their fingers were pinched, and blood flowed profusely. But Ji Shitang had the word "Ji Shi" on it, but he couldn't help it. At this moment, a girl suddenly stepped forward... "

The audience listened attentively, holding their breath and waiting for the next chapter.

Mo Che, who was passing by and returning, was still carrying the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the pastry shop on the corner of the street. Hearing this, he couldn't help but stop.

I saw that the storyteller prolonged his voice on purpose, he didn't wait until the silver coin was thrown on the table, and the small copper plate was full, then he smiled and went on talking.

He told everything Xia Bai'an said one by one without missing a word. He cut off his fingers in the street and didn't accept money from people face to face. Then came such a chivalrous girl.

Mo Che looked sideways, listening, it sounded like something Xia Bai'an would say.

Moreover, she did go to Jishitang today.

Just when he was wondering, a childish figure suddenly came out of the crowd: "What's the name of that genius doctor sister? Does she look good?"

The storyteller took a sip of his wine, and seeing how much money he made today, he burst out laughing.

"That girl is elegant and simple, but she is glamorous and charming. She is a wonderful doctor who has rejuvenated her body. It's a pity that the girl doesn't leave her name and keeps a low profile. After inquiring about it, the old man only heard... the word Xia."

After finishing speaking, everyone laughed, there are so many people with the surname Xia, where can I find them.

In the corner, Mo Che tightly grasped the rope of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and let out a long sigh.

Wherever she really went, she was so eye-catching.

When Mo Che returned to the mansion, before he could ask Xia Bai'an for clarification, he saw a few tall and burly people standing in the yard. Most of these people had simple clothes and thick calluses on their hands, and they could be seen at a glance. It's hard work.

Mo Che frowned, and A Gao from the corridor hurried over: "Master, these are carpenters, they came to build bookshelves and beds for the young master and the ladies, but Madam wants to keep them for dinner."

"Mo Che!"

Xia Bai'an came out of the room, and saw Mo Che walking towards him at a glance. She greeted him happily, took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Mo Che's hand, weighed it, "Xue'er and Yu'er have something to do today!" Good luck, come in quickly to take a shower and change clothes, and we will have dinner later."

"Explain." Mo Che grabbed her wrist with his backhand.

Xia Bai'an briefly recounted what happened today, and then said, "I wanted to go find them later, but they refused. They came to the door to measure the size, and they didn't seem to be any bad people, so I called them in to eat. Dinner is over."

After finishing speaking, Xia Bai'an dragged Mo Che inside instead, with a bit of cunning in his eyes.

Clearly something happened.

Mo Che knew it in his heart, but he didn't point it out.

Several carpenters looked at Mo Che carefully, and Li Fugui couldn't help but click his tongue: "No wonder this beauty doesn't avoid suspicion outside. There is such a handsome husband in the house. Tsk, I am really jealous and envious."

"Speak less and do more. Don't think that if you keep you for dinner, it will make you look good. He is the master." Wang Mang looked at him coldly.

Li Fugui jumped up and down, leaning on the pillar of the porch and laughed dryly: "Understood, brother, don't teach me, you read like a fly every day."

Wang Mang made a gesture to beat him, but the two wounded started to fight first. The carpenters seemed to be used to it, and pulled the two of them in a panic.

When it was dinner time, the carpenters had all measured the size, and had decided with Xia Bai'an what kind of carvings they wanted, and they were really ready to turn around and leave.

Xia Bai'an was taken aback. She used to welcome guests into the door, but there was no reason to give orders to expel them.

"If you leave now, you won't give me face as a benefactor." She smashed the bowl and chopsticks down with a bang.

Several carpenters paused.

Wu Yue, who was waiting on the sidelines, looked at the table full of good dishes, swallowed, and gave a few carpenters a look: "It's a waste to eat good things when they are delivered to your mouth."

When the carpenters heard this, they turned back feeling disheartened.

"Dinner is ready." Mo Yu rushed in after him, and was stunned when he saw the strange carpenters in front of him.

Mo Qian and Mo Xue walked in right after them. They were a little surprised to see so many, but thinking that when they were in Yunmai Village, their mother always let all kinds of people work in the yard, it didn't seem so surprising. .

Mo Qian took his younger siblings to sit beside his parents.

Mo Xue climbed onto the stool, and Li Fugui moved subconsciously beside him, hiding his dirty and blood-stained clothes, and wiped his hands with the clothes uncomfortably, trying to tidy them up a bit.

Mo Xue watched his movements with wide eyes, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him: "There is blood on your clothes, no matter how much you wipe it, it won't be wiped clean, you should use this."

Li Fugui clenched his fingers in embarrassment, and looked away: "Then what, Miss Xia, although your sister is kind, but I don't want to dirty the child's handkerchief..."

"This is my daughter." Xia Bai'an interrupted him helplessly, and saw that Mo Xue had just handed over a handkerchief, and smiled helplessly, "Isn't the handkerchief just for this time? It doesn't matter if you accept it."

As she spoke, she waved slightly to A Yuan who was waiting outside the door, and A Yuan sent some water and cloth towels in to wash their hands and faces.

Li Fugui was a little shocked at first, he didn't expect Xia Bai'an to have such a big daughter at such a young age, and then he didn't expect that their family has a big business, and they don't have the strange rules of rich families.

A big round table, with so many of them sitting down, was still a bit crowded.

Mo Xue tugged at Li Fugui's sleeve again: "You sit too far away, and the people next to you are squeezed by you."

Li Fugui had no choice but to get closer to her, but still kept a decent distance.

After eating, everyone was quiet, and only occasionally heard a few children talk about what they saw today, and Xia Bai'an responded with a few words from time to time, but he heard grunts coming from the side.

Xia Bai'an and Mo Xue turned their heads at the same time, and saw Wu Yue rubbing her belly in embarrassment: "I'm hungry."

"puff--"

Xia Bai'an couldn't help laughing out loud, seeing that there were a lot of dishes cooked today, and there were only two or three cooks at home, and the servants had to wait for food, fearing that it would take a long time, she hurriedly greeted Wu Yue: "Go and serve A small table, you can eat together next to it, don't make the cooks make a few too tired."

"Yes." Wu Yue's eyes lit up, and she hurried out.

And Wang Mang just watched from the beginning to the end, and he became more and more impressed with Xia Bai'an, but when he raised his head, he met Xia Bai'an's smiling eyes: "There is no such thing as a free dinner in the world."
