After learning that the nanny beside her had returned without success, Mrs. Shi lost her temper in front of the carriage.
She didn't expect that Xie Wu, a little girl who had just grown her hair, would be so tough in front of her, and even moved out the wife of Duke Dingguo.
After hearing what Mammy said, Miss Shi San secretly glanced at the dark forest outside. It was so scary even before it got dark. If she waited until it got dark...
"Mom, I don't want to camp here, I'm scared!" Miss Shi San hurriedly hugged Mrs. Shi's arm and cried to her with a pleading face.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Shi also looked distressed.
"Madam, how about we ask someone else?" The nanny next to Mrs. Shi also said with a distressed look on her face.
Autumn has begun now, and the further north you go, the colder it gets, especially at night. This place is near the woods, so not only is it cold, but the most important thing is that it is not safe.
"That's right, mother, how about we ask other families? If it doesn't work out... If it doesn't work out, I'll go talk to Sister Sun and spend the night with her." Miss Shi San also echoed with red eyes.
Mrs. Shi's face darkened, and when she was hesitating, she saw the young lady of the Minister of War leading a girl from the Sun family and several maids towards her.
"Mrs. Shi." Mrs. Sun stepped forward with a smile and called Mrs. Shi first.
The girl from the Sun family also followed Mrs. Sun and blessed Mrs. Shi.
"Mrs. Sun, why are you here?" Looking at the visitor, Mrs. Shi's eyes flashed with surprise.
Although Sun Shangshu and her master belong to the same six tribes, they have always been at odds with each other. Of course, the six ministers were not in harmony to begin with. Otherwise, Emperor Zhengxuan on the dragon throne would have been worried.
However, when Mrs. Sun came to see her at this time, could it be...
"I heard that Madam, you haven't found a suitable place to camp yet. My land is quite spacious. If you don't mind it, our two families can squeeze in together. However, I'm afraid that some of these servants won't be able to accommodate them.
." Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Shi with a smile and said.
Mrs. Shi originally wanted to refuse, but Miss Shi San, who was standing next to her, could not hold back at all. As soon as Mrs. Sun finished her words, she hurriedly tugged at the corners of Mrs. Shi's sleeves, her face full of begging.
He called her, "Mom..."
"Mrs. Shi, please agree. It just so happens that I want to ask Sister Shi San to teach me how to draw." The girl from the Sun family also smiled and helped beside me.
"Since the young lady has said so, I will shamelessly interrupt." Although Mrs. Shi was a little suspicious of the Sun family's intentions, she had to accept it at this time.
Fortunately, this time Sun Shangshu and her master were all left in the capital by Emperor Zhengxuan to assist the prince. His son and daughter-in-law were traveling with him. They were all female dependents. Mrs. Sun and the others were juniors, so they should not be so worried.
That's the taboo.
With this thought, Mrs. Shi finally felt a little relieved.
No matter what, she finally didn't have to camp near the woods.
As bonfires were gradually lit in the camp, the sky gradually became darker.
Mi Yue led the two little maids to pack up the tent, then turned around and took down the bedding from the carriage and spread it out. After doing all this, she turned around and went to Xie Xu's tent next door to see what Xie Xu had there.
Not packed up.
As for Suiyu, when she heard a bird chirping in the forest, she scurried into the forest while no one was paying attention.
On the other side, Grandma Luo and several women had already set up a large pot and put the bones and meat bought on the road into the pot to cook. She was simmering the bone broth on one side and pressing the meat on the other side.
Knead the dough using the board.
"Mama Luo, are you making steamed buns or noodles?" Mei Sheng also finished his work and joined in.
Aunt Luo raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and then she smiled and said to Mei Sheng, "I'm also making steamed buns and noodles. We set up camp early today, so I'll make more."
"Mommy, how about I help you knead the dough?" Seeing that Aunt Luo was struggling to knead the dough by herself, Mei Sheng hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and said to her with a smile.
"Can you knead dough?" Aunt Luo looked at Mei Sheng with some suspicion.
"You will know if you let me try it." Mei Sheng laughed, and then he took over the work from Nanny Luo with a smile.
Grandma Luo looked at Mei Sheng carefully for a while, and saw that he was kneading it well, so she felt relieved and said, "Then you help me knead it, and I'll roll it out."
"Okay, mama, remember to make more buns for me when the time comes. I like meat buns." Mei Sheng added with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" Grandma Luo responded with a smile.
Xie Wu happened to see this scene when she came out of the tent. She walked over with a smile and said, "Mommy found a new helper today!"
"No!" Grandma Luo smiled and saw Xie Wu watching her rolling out the buns. She rolled her eyes, suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at Xie Wu and said, "Girl, do you want to make the buns?"
"Me? Make buns?" Xie Wu was stunned.
"Come on, there's nothing to do now anyway, you try!" Perhaps the atmosphere was so good now, so without waiting for Xie Wu to agree, Aunt Luo pulled her over with a smile, and as things went smoothly, she gave her just a
The rolled out bun skin was stuffed into her hand.
Xie Wu looked at the bun wrapper in her hand, her stiff hands not knowing how to move.
"Girl, I'll give you a sample first!" Grandma Luo noticed Xie Wu's confusion. She put down the rolling pin in her hand, picked up a bun wrapper, and then took a spoonful of the mixture from the basin.
The good meat filling was placed on the dumpling wrapper, and no matter how she moved, a round and chubby bun suddenly appeared in her palm, "Girl, look, it's very simple!"
Xie Wu twitched the corner of her mouth twice and said, "Mommy, if not, I'd better just..."
She really felt that this job was not something she could learn.
"Girl, try it. It doesn't matter even if the bun is broken. Don't we still have slaves?" But Grandma Luo refused to give up easily. As she said that, she twisted another piece of bun skin, and then slow-motioned the previous action.
He repeated it in front of Xie Wu, "Girl, look, this is not very simple."
Xie Wu stiffly curved her lips, still hesitant and did not dare to make a move.
"Girl, try it." At this time, Mei Sheng, who was making the dough at the side, also smiled and echoed what Grandma Luo said.
Xie Wu looked at the dumpling wrapper in her hand, and just when she was thinking of finding a reason to refuse, Grandma Luo quickly scooped up a spoonful of dumplings and put it into the palm of her hand.
"Girl, try it."
With Nanny Luo's persistent encouragement, Xie Wu finally took action, but...
Looking at the bun with leaky stuffing in her hand, even though it was as cold as Xie Wu, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting a little hot. Just when she didn't know what to do with the bun, Grandma Luo smiled and held her hand out.
I took out the buns inside.
"This is my first time, but you can't wrap it well. Girl, please try again." As she spoke, Grandma Luo stuffed another bun skin into Xie Wu's hand.
Xie Wu looked at the crooked bun on the table, thinking that making another bun wouldn't be uglier than the previous one, so without saying anything, she lowered her head and wrapped it again seriously.
But there is a saying, things are unpredictable, there are no ugliest buns in the world, only uglier buns!
Looking at the row of crooked buns, and then looking at the two round and chubby buns made by Grandma Luo at the front, Xie Wu finally couldn't help but look...
At this time, Grandma Luo finally shut her mouth and stopped trying to persuade Xie Wu.
"Hey, these buns are eaten in the stomach anyway, as long as they taste good! Mei Sheng, you think so!" Seeing that Xie Wu's face was getting more and more upset, Grandma Luo tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Mommy is right!" Mei Sheng also hurriedly agreed.
"Oops! It's getting late, girl, why don't you wash your hands and go to the tent to rest for a while?" Grandma Luo said while hurriedly making a look at Mi Yue who had just returned.
Mi Yue understood and hurriedly asked someone to fetch a basin of water to help Xie Wu clean her hands.
Just when Xie Wu was cleaning her hands and preparing to return to the tent, Xie Xu's cheerful voice suddenly rang out, "Sister, sister, Brother Lu has hunted two hares, come and see!"
Following Xie Xu's shout, everyone raised their heads and looked over.
I saw, in the dim light, Lu Zhan, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, walking lightly over, carrying two plump hares in his hands.
At this time, the full moon above the head suddenly emerged from the clouds, and the soft moonlight fell from the top of the head like a gauze. Lu Zhan walked step by step to Xie Wu with this gauze wrapped around her head.
"Cousin." Lu Zhan called Xie Wu with a slight smile.
Xie Wu's eyebrows moved slightly. She wanted to ask him what he was doing here, but when she saw the clear and bright smile in his eyes, she suddenly couldn't open her mouth.
"I heard from Brother Xu that the nanny next to you is very good at cooking, so I shamelessly came to your door to share the meal. These two rabbits are my companions. Cousin, do you think this is okay?" Lu Zhan said gently.
He looked at Xie Wu and smiled.
The corners of Xie Wu's lips moved, but before she could speak, Xie Xu could not wait to answer for her.
"Okay, okay, Nanny Luo, I want to eat roast rabbit!"
Aunt Luo smiled at Xie Xu, but she did not dare to respond to his words. She only smiled and turned her eyes to Xie Wu.
Regardless of whether it is the old lady or the prince, they have already made it clear that the girl will make all the decisions when going out.
"It smells so good! Cousin, are you making broth? Hey, there are also steamed buns and noodles! Looks like I'm in for a treat today." Lu Zhan was also afraid of Xie Wu's rejection, so he simply said
He stuffed the rabbit he was carrying into Grandma Luo's hands.
The rabbit was stuffed into her hands, and naturally it was difficult for Mother Luo to return it. She looked at Xie Wu helplessly.
"Since A Xu wants to eat the rabbit, please help me clean it up!" Fortunately, Xie Wu did not make it difficult for Grandma Luo, and she quickly spoke.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll take care of the rabbit! The water is boiling, it's time for you to make noodles!" Mei Sheng came over and said with a smile, fearing that Grandma Luo would be too busy.
"Okay!" Grandma Luo didn't show any pretense. She handed the rabbit in her hand to Mei Sheng, then turned around and started to get busy.
"The weather is nice today, how about we set up a table outside to eat!" Seeing Xie Wu accept the rabbit, Lu Zhan added with a smile. After saying that, he was afraid that Xie Wu would leave for an excuse, so he added another sentence hurriedly
He said, "I heard from Xiao Mubei that his sister really likes noodles. How about calling the brothers and sisters as well?"
With Princess Xiao around, Ah Wu no longer had to avoid him to avoid suspicion.
