Chapter 157 No delicacies can compare to the deliciousness of home-cooked meals!
Madam Yang's face was cold, and she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you leave!"
The maid was startled and felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything and retreated to the door.
The maid who was following Madam Min was also surprised, but she was tactful enough to wait for Madam Min to enter the house, then quickly closed the door and stood guard outside.
Yang Lihua had just asked her daughter and confirmed that the problem was with the incense burner.
Seeing Madam Min come in, she stood up and explained, "Madam, didn't we steal the incense burner..."
Madam Min waved her hand, pulled her to sit down again, and said, "Lihua, I know your family is of good character and down-to-earth, and you wouldn't do anything for an incense burner. I'm just curious, what's the reason for you doing this?"
Yang Lihua was happy to hear this, but she couldn't reveal her daughter's magical ability, so she could only make an excuse.
"Madam, you know my hometown is in the south. Besides embroidery, I also know a bit about spices. Just now, I smelled something strange in the aroma in the room, and Zhuzhu happened to come in complaining of a headache. I was afraid that the fragrance in the incense burner would continue to spread and cause trouble, so I asked my daughter Chunhong to bring the incense burner out."
incense burner?
Mrs. Min's face changed. She really didn't care about these things. They were all arranged by the housekeeper around her.
Chunhong was afraid that someone would snatch it away, so she held the incense burner tightly.
At this moment, she timidly stepped forward and handed the incense burner to Mrs. Min.
"Madam, I didn't have any water, so I just put out the incense with my hands."
Mrs. Min glanced at her burned red fingers and nodded.
She turned to Yang Lihua and said, "Lihua, thank you for your vigilance and consideration. I'll have someone examine the incense. Let's go in and eat first. I'll let you know whatever happens next."
"You're too polite, ma'am. Perhaps I made a mistake. I hope you don't blame me for being nosy."
Yang Lihua held Zhuzhu, Chunhong opened the door, and the master and servants returned to the main room.
Madam Min immediately asked the gatekeeper to take the incense burner down, then gathered her energy and went back to entertain the guests...
By the time the sun was setting, the guests had eaten and drunk their fill and returned home with great satisfaction.
Manager Min was waiting by the carriage. He personally carried Zhuzhu into the carriage and stuffed her with two boxes of her favorite snacks.
Yang Lihua thanked him and seeing that there were not many people around, she quickly told Manager Min about the incense burner.
Manager Min was surprised and responded in a low voice, "Thank you, sister-in-law. You can go back without worry. I will pay attention to this matter."
Yang Lihua was finally relieved. Sometimes good intentions don't always bring good rewards. Although she also believed in Madam Min's character, things are unpredictable, so it's best to be prepared...
In Taijia Village, Old Man Tai stood at the entrance of the village, holding his pipe, looking towards the end of the path.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue took the naughty boys to play the game of catching thieves, and they were a little absent-minded.
Tai Jizu led the big black horse and took some sesame balls and ran to the village two miles away to eat grass.
We were used to having a fat girl running around and chattering at home, but suddenly it was quiet for most of the day, and everyone, young and old, felt uncomfortable.
It was as if the days were suddenly frozen in time, becoming extremely boring.
Finally, Sesame Ball barked and ran towards the path as fast as he could, and the big black horse also let go of its hooves.
A carriage approached, and the window was suddenly pushed open. The fat girl's face was full of smiles. She waved her hands and called out crisply, "Sesame balls! Dahei, Dahei!"
Zhimaqiu jumped onto the shaft of the cart, and the driver was so scared that he immediately pulled the reins and stopped the cart.
The big black horse arrived and playfully raised its hoof to scare the chestnut horse pulling the cart. Seeing the chestnut horse retreat half a step, it triumphantly ran to the window, twitching its lips in protest.
Tai Jizu caught up with the driver, panting, and quickly apologized to him, "Brother, I'm sorry, my dog and horse are so naughty!"
Of course, the driver wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Brother, your dog is amazing! This big black horse is also rare, so smart!"
Tai Jizu smiled and said, "Those raised at home since childhood are more approachable and intelligent."
At this moment, Yang Lihua had already gotten off the carriage with Zhuzhu. Chunhong ran to the shaft and stuffed a dozen copper coins into the driver's hand.
The driver was very happy. He thought that the villagers would not give him any tips, but he didn't expect that there would be quite a lot.
He thanked her again and again before turning around and returning to the city.
Yang Lihua stepped forward and asked about the day at home. Tai Jizu answered all her questions, then carried his daughter and Zhimaqiu onto the horse's back, and the family went back chatting and laughing.
After a while, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue also came over with cheers, followed by the old man in a hurry.
"Grandpa, Grandpa! Zhuzhu misses you!" The fat girl jumped from the horse's back into her grandfather's arms, hugged the old man and kissed him.
The old man's heart was so warm that he almost shed tears. He kept responding, "Hey, hey! Grandpa misses you too. Let's never go to the city again. We'll just stay at home! When you're not home, it's so lonely everywhere. Grandpa can't even enjoy his meals!"
Zhuzhu hugged Grandpa and nodded, "Yes, Zhuzhu will stay at home with Grandpa. Accompany Grandpa to the mountains to eat meat and dig ginseng babies!"
The old man immediately covered his granddaughter's mouth, looked around to make sure there were no outsiders, and then whispered, "Zhuzhu, didn't we agree that this is a secret!"
Zhuzhu felt even more guilty when she recalled what happened at the Min family before.
She leaned over to Grandpa's ear and whispered, "Grandpa, Zhuzhu is wrong. Zhuzhu told the secret to Mother! Because those people all have gray hair!"
The old man didn't understand, and Yang Lihua was worried that he would blame his daughter, so she quickly said, "Dad, I ran into some trouble today while going to the birthday party. It's all thanks to Zhuzhu. Let's go home first and I'll explain it to you in detail."
