Mrs. Xu looked at the eyes around her, all staring at her expectantly.

Not to mention how comfortable I felt.

She took the knife and cut it slowly, just for show.

To be honest, it has to be Yan Xia Lai.

After Yan Xia took the knife, he first cut a large piece and handed it to Mrs. Xu, and then cut a piece and handed it to Xu Zhixian.

Leave the rest to your servants to cut.

She is not a slave. She is driven to serve a large group of people, but they are not qualified.

"Hmm~ It's really delicious, and not too sweet."

Mrs. Xu's eyes suddenly lit up. She likes sweets, especially pastries. She has tasted almost everything famous in Jiangnan County, but she has never tasted such delicious food.

No wonder everyone is chasing birthday cakes.

Who doesn’t want good things?

Xu Zhixian also praised him.

"It's really delicious, Mom. I allow you to eat more of this. It's not too sweet and should be fine for your body."

Yan Xia took over the conversation.

"Of course it's okay. They're all made of milk, honey and other precious metals. The colors on it are also dyed with natural flowers. The cores inside are all freshly cut fruits chilled. You'll know how to eat them. It makes people's health better and their skin becomes tender, so how can it affect the body? Moreover, cakes are not like pastries and have less sweetness, so they won't be a burden. Don't worry, I hope the old lady lives to be a thousand years old."

Yan Xia's flattery skills are not much lower than those of those people just now.

"You have a heart."

Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, the satisfaction and love in her eyes overflowing.

"I should have heard about Mrs. Xu a long time ago. I heard that you raised two children alone and raised such an outstanding magistrate of Xu County, which is a role model for our generation. My children also lost their father when they were young, but I have never When I get married for the second time, I think a woman should stay together for the rest of her life. I want to learn from Mrs. Xu and help her children grow up.

You gave me confidence, so I tried selling pastries last year. I just set up a stall at the beginning. After all, I didn’t even have a tael of silver with me at the time. Unexpectedly, many people said that the pastries I made were delicious and the supply exceeded demand. Only then did I make money. I spent some money and bought a shop, and my business has been getting better and better since then. Mrs. Xu, you are like Guanyin Bodhisattva, protecting me. I will never forget your great kindness to me.

In the beginning, I just wanted my children to live a better life. To tell you the truth, I was digging in the fields the year before last. Look at my hands. No matter how well maintained they are in the past two years, they are still extremely rough. Even though I am from a farmer's family, now that I can meet Mrs. Xu, I feel that I have no regrets in dying, and I would like to ask Mrs. Xu to pay me my respects. "

Yan Xia's words fell into Mrs. Xu's heart.

She lied without blushing and would kneel down as a pretense.

Mrs. Xu didn't eat the cake anymore. She put it on the table and helped Yan Xia's arm.

"Don't kneel, don't kneel, get up quickly."

Yan Xia stood up immediately. She didn't want to kneel down, just to show off.

Mrs. Xu pulled her to sit on a chair and continued: "You are right. I particularly look down on women who are married for the second time. Who are they? They are prostitutes! You are right. It turns out you are just like me. , I feel sorry for you when you lived such a hard life before. My child, I liked you very much at the first sight. From now on, you will often come to my house and talk to me."

"I wish I could. Hey, you don't know. After my shop started to improve a little, I opened a branch in Jiangnan County. I didn't even go to other places. I just thought that one day I could bring my family with me. If I live in Jiangnan County and be closer to the old lady I admire, I will die without regrets. The day before yesterday, I heard that you were celebrating your birthday, so I made the cake all night without sleeping for two nights and hurriedly left Shuangqiao Town. Come here, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, but luckily I'm not late, otherwise I would have vomited to death. Madam, you are happy to eat, I am happier than drinking honey~"

Yan Xia said that she felt like vomiting.

She tried her best to hold it back and put on a fake smile.

"Now you have finally come to the end of your hardships. I am very happy with my meal. Good boy, I have suffered so much for you. My daughter is far away at the border, and my daughter-in-law is weak and sick. She often stays in her yard and does not come out. I am so bored. From now on, You often come here to keep me company, do you understand? Since you haven't slept for two nights, I asked the maid to get you a guest room, so you can go and get some sleep."

Mrs. Xu has one advantage, that is, she is very kind to herself.

At this time, Yan Xia has been classified as one of her own.

After all, she was an illiterate old woman, but to have someone who admired her so much, who even came all the way to send her cakes, and who was so generous, made her feel so swollen.

"No, no, I'm so excited to see the old lady. I'm not sleepy."

Yan Xia waved her hands repeatedly.

Seeing her persistence, Mrs. Xu gave up.

After finishing the cake, Xuzhi County went to do some business.

Yan Xia accompanied the old lady to the theater and dinner.

Mrs. Xu saw her yawning repeatedly, so she asked her to go back to bed first and come back to see her tomorrow.

Yan Xia had achieved the purpose of her trip, so she left as she wished.

When leaving Xu Mansion, three people came towards me.

They look like a family of three.

The appearance of the woman on the left is very similar to that of Xuzhi County. She has a bun with hanging clouds and hairpins hanging on it. She walks with jingling bells. She wears a floor-length skirt and an embroidered gold jacket. The gauze coat is decorated with a string of white and waxy jade beads hanging on the waist. Even the shoes are high-soled satin inlaid jade shoes.

All gorgeous.

The man in the middle is fat and tall. He has a beard, is wearing a brown robe, and has a jade pendant hanging around his waist. When talking to the woman on the left, his face is full of smiles. He must be a henpecked man. of.

The man looked to be at least five years older than the woman, about 4 years old, and he looked familiar, but Yan Xia couldn't remember where he had seen this face before.

As for the girl on the right, she should be their daughter.

Two years younger than Chang Yi.

Fourteen at most.

She has an average appearance. She wears a scarlet dress with very fair skin. As the saying goes, whiteness covers three ugliness. Her beautiful skin makes people ignore her ordinary facial features. The girl is thin, especially her waist is tight. The long gauze belt moves with the wind, making the waist look full and delicate.

The girl looked at Yan Xia, glanced sideways, and then turned her head away with contempt.

The arrogant expression greatly affected her appearance once again.

She is a spoiled ugly girl.

Yan Xia thought.

Passing by the three of them, she left Xu Mansion and prepared to go home to catch up on her sleep.

"mother--"

On the other side, in the garden of the Xu Mansion, the woman who had just been a member of a family of three was holding Mrs. Xu and acting coquettishly.

"Oh, my darling, Shan'er, you are finally here. I miss you so much that my tears have dried up." The mother and daughter had not seen each other for a long time, and they were extremely excited.

This person is Xu Wenyan's biological sister.

Xu Wenshan.
