When Tu Hao and his family went to the Ye family's New Year's feast, they were not surprised to see that the head mistress had become his second aunt.

Tu Hao stuck to Xu Mingxu's ear and whispered, "Eldest aunt seems very happy."

Xu Mingxu was not familiar with the elders of the Ye family, so he just took care of his little mouse the whole time. When he heard him speak, he found Ye Yao first, and then recognized the woman sitting next to Ye Yao. With a sound.

Tu Hao didn't understand why the Ye family fought openly and secretly for the position of a mistress, but he understood.

As the mistress of the house, she holds more than [-]% of the resource control rights in the inner house.A strong headed mistress can even decide the fate of some people in the inner house.

He is a little lucky now, Liu's methods are not good after all, otherwise he might not only be ignored and occasionally bullied in his youth.A concubine like him who has nothing to rely on, if he is in another family, if the mistress of the house is upset, maybe not many will die directly, but it is not uncommon for them to be raised as servants if they cannot be listed in the genealogy.

Seeing Xu Mingxu's indifferent reaction, Tu Hao thought that he was a little introverted because he was not familiar with him, so he whispered, "Don't look at my aunt as soft and weak, in fact, she has a strong temper..." At this point, he couldn't continue. .

Women in this era, who is willing to rush ahead in everything?But the eldest aunt has only one daughter, her husband died young, and she has no family background to rely on.If she didn't fight or be strong, she might have been forgotten in the Ye family's mansion long ago and treated as a transparent person.

Xu Mingxu didn't care what happened to the Ye family. Seeing that Tu Hao had said half of what he said, he didn't want to know about these things about the Ye family. He turned his head to see the oil in his bowl, and quickly pushed the new dishes away, and said in a low voice: "The vegetables are too oily, don't eat them. Let's go home and have some snacks later."

His little mouse is stronger now and can eat more meat, but eating such oily dishes will definitely cause diarrhea.This dish was still fried with meat oil, and after a while, a white layer of fat formed, even after seeing it, he didn't really want to eat it.

The weather is cold and the dishes cool quickly, which is unavoidable.In the era when vegetables and meat were almost boiled in salt water, a plate of vegetarian dishes can be fried in meat oil, which is considered very luxurious and exquisite.

pity……

Tu Hao looked at it, and finally took two mouthfuls of rice with hot soup. He didn't know what he ate, and went home in the afternoon.

As soon as they entered the house, Ye Yao asked someone to deliver a snack box, which was filled with candied dried fruits.

The boy who came to give the gift said: "Miss bought a Zhuangzi in Taiping, and these fruits are from her own Zhuangzi. Miss, please rest assured to eat, don't eat too much."

Tu Hao asked someone to give the boy a small red envelope, and asked someone to pack a cardboard box as a return gift.After the people left, he opened the snack box and immediately stuffed two raisins into his mouth: "Big cousin, why don't you let me eat more if you give it to me, what the hell!"

Xu Mingxu saw that he had grabbed another piece of preserved peach, so he covered the snack box, and asked the boy to store it elsewhere, fully exercising the young lady's housekeeping power: "It's enough to eat this first. We'll fill it up later." Have a snack, or you won't be able to eat dinner."

The wife was strict with the mouse, and the mouse spirit didn't dare to say anything, so he popped a piece of preserved peach into his mouth, cherishing it very much.

The Ye family's housing is tight, but the eldest lady is Mrs. Hou after all, no matter what the Ye family does, she will not ask her to give up her position.Therefore, there are still only mother and daughter in their yard, and they live in a very spacious room.

Ye Yao and Mrs. Ye were sitting and talking in their own room, mostly Ye Yao was talking about her affairs in Taiping County.

Many of her words were out of the ordinary and even completely unimaginable to Mrs. Ye.

"You mean that after Mrs. Lu reunited, life is better than at her husband's house? When she goes back to her natal family, will her natal family tolerate her? This daughter is fine, but her son can come? Will her husband's family let her go?" ?”

Ye Yao was talking about a recent incident in Taiping County: "They can't let them go. Mrs. Lu's natal family is in decline, and that family is not particular about it. They even want to spoil their concubines and destroy their wives. Now Mrs. Lu relies on With the ability to blend fragrances, the business of the shop in the county is very good, and there is no need to go back to her mother's house. As for her two children, if she is not by her side, she might not be able to survive."

Seeing the frightened look in her mother's eyes, she pressed down the details and said vaguely, "Ms. Lu brought her children to the county government office, and the county magistrate sentenced her."

Mrs. Ye rubbed her chest: "This tiger's venom doesn't eat its children..." Although their Ye family also beat and beat children, they never reached the point where they could survive, "Oh...you are also in Taiping County, when you meet a woman like this, help me more."

"Mom, I will." In this matter, she has contributed a lot!Forget it, don't let her mother know about this.

The boy who delivered the snack box happened to come back and asked the maid to bring in a cardboard box.The two of them stopped talking.

"I don't know what the little mouse gave you?" The carton was tightly sealed, and Ye Yao opened it directly, and she was immediately happy, "Mother, come and take a look. I said this little mouse is only thinking about food." Inside the box What I got was a big gift box of hot pot, all kinds of meatballs and the like, and the juicy vegetables made Ye Yao immediately greedy.

Mrs. Ye came over to take a look, and said with a smile: "I just said that your second aunt is not careful enough, she must not have prepared food for the little mouse alone. Let alone the little mouse, even if we continue to eat these every day, we will get tired of it." Very much."

Ye Yao didn't go along with her mother's complaints, but happily asked people to prepare the pot: "Mother, let's put clear soup, I haven't eaten such fresh and tender dishes for several days, I will eat more later."

There is a hot spring in Tujia Xiaozhuang, and some vegetables can be grown in winter, but the output is not high.The Ye family can get a little bit, but there are so many people in the family, and the old and the young have to be kept close first, and those in the middle are not treated so well.

The Tu family had already eaten hot pot at this time.

Meatballs, mushrooms, and dumplings are rolled back and forth with the boiling soup.Next to it was a table full of dishes and dishes.

The butcher didn't eat anything for lunch, and now he was holding his chopsticks and waiting: "Why did you think of eating pot so early?"

"It feels a little bit colder this year. If you eat something else, I'm afraid it will be half cold when you bring it from the kitchen. It's still warm in the pot." Xu Mingxu hugged the little mouse who felt that he would jump into the pot at any time, "Don't worry, don't worry, we can't Let’s eat. I’ll burn two slices of mutton for you later.”

The three of them ate a very satisfying meal, and when it was over, Xu Mingxu reported to the butcher: "Father, I'm going to Xu's house for a while, and I'll be back before dinner."

In fact, this is a bit strange.After all, Xu Mingxu hasn't gone through the door yet, so he should be returning to his home now.It's not appropriate for him to live in Tu's house like this.But no one said anything.

The Xu family wished he wasn't there.

The Tu family knew the situation of the Xu family, and felt that it would be better for this poor little girl to stay in their house, so as not to be bullied in the Xu family.

But Xu Mingxu hasn't formally entered the house after all, so it's normal to go to Xu's house if he has something to do.

The butcher nodded his head to show that he understood, and said, "Drive slowly on the road. If there is anything, ask someone to deliver a letter home."

Tu Hao desperately wanted to go with him: "Brother..."

Before he could speak, Xu Mingxu interrupted him: "Good boy. My brother just packs up some sundries, and he'll be back in an hour."

Tu Hao also knew that he had to prepare a lot of things if he wanted to go out in this weather, so he just didn't make any trouble, and reluctantly delivered them to... the door of the room: "Then brother, come back soon?"

"Yeah." He lowered his head and said quietly to Tu Hao, "Brother came back and brought you roast goose."

Although Tu Hao can now eat some meat, roast goose is still very tempting to him.Hearing this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"

Xu Mingxu nodded solemnly: "Really."

"Then you go quickly." Tu Hao pushed the person out of the door, humming a song and returning to the house.

Xu Mingxu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm not as good as a roast goose?" When the carriage arrived at Xu's house, he asked his followers to buy roast goose. The smile on his face hadn't faded, but his heart was no longer relaxed.

As soon as he entered Xiyuan, he heard a commotion before entering the house.The girl's high-pitched voice, with the unique sharpness of this age, made his ears hurt.

"The Xu family's garden, why don't you let us in?"

"Exactly! You bitch, dare to stop us?"

"When Seventh Brother gets married, can't we enter this garden as we please?"

"You have to think about it. Seventh brother won't bring much dowry when he gets married. When the time comes, you will fall into our hands..."

Xu Mingxu's smile remained unchanged, and he walked over slowly, his eyes fell on this group of little girls who were only eleven or twelve years old, and the oldest were only fourteen or five years old, thinking of how he was looked at by a group of outsiders when he was a child. The lovely little girls are tossing.

This group of little girls dared to come and make a fuss only because they knew that Xu Mingxu was not at home.Otherwise, there is not even a single flower in Xiyuan in winter, even if they are invited, they will not come.

Now that they saw Xu Mingxu here, they were immediately frightened, and some of them timidly called out: "Brother Qitang."

"Yeah." Xu Mingxu didn't bother to argue with them.These are all girls from concubines, and most of these behaviors are probably to curry favor with the Liu family.But they will soon know that their small thoughts will not be enough after they get married in the future.

He walked slowly towards the yard of his grandparents, thinking about one thing in his heart.The group of restless boys at home can be sent to Jiangdan School, but where can this group of little girls be sent?

On the way, he met a few concubine brothers who were also yelling in front of him at the beginning, but now they are very honest when they meet each other.

Xu Mingxu was quite satisfied with this, and after paying his respects to the two elders, he suddenly said: "The younger brothers seem to be doing well now. I don't know what the younger sisters plan to do? It's not easy to let a few aunts teach me like this."
