It is not easy for the ladies of high-ranking families to go out on weekdays, so every time they can go out and burn incense in the temple, the ladies of various prefectures are very happy.

It's just that Wei's face is not very good today.

People who rarely lose their temper on weekdays really lose their temper is even more fearful, so seeing Wei's cold face, the maids and women who entered and exited the main room of the West Courtyard all lowered their heads and said nothing, and even hated that their sense of existence could be reduced.

He Linwan silently finished his breakfast, and then glanced at Wei, who was drinking porridge indifferently.

She knew what the good-tempered Webster was angry about.

Originally, Wei's self-pasted silver and asked the kitchen to open a small stove for Xiaohuzi to make chicken soup because he didn't want to worry about the fourth wife, Yu's, and wanted to settle things. But sometimes when you take a step back, others may not know how to accept it when they see it.

There was nothing wrong with the chicken soup I brought from the kitchen the first two times, but after eating a bite of chicken soup bibimbap at dinner yesterday, Xiaohuzi suddenly spit out with a "wow", and his little face was wrinkled like a bun.

When Xiaohuzi was entangled and wanted to continue eating, Wei suddenly reached out and took Xiaohuzi's rice bowl, scooped a mouthful of Xiaohuzi's rice with a silver spoon and ate it, not wanting this bite to go Wei's face changed, and then because of anger, her hand holding the bowl trembled.

When Wei put down the bowl, she said, "It's just too deceitful!"

Mama Li found out that something was wrong, and she also took a bite of the chicken soup bibimbap in the bowl like Wei, and then said with a blushing face: "How can it be so salty?"

Xiaohuzi didn't understand this, he just felt hungry, so he held the bowl of rice in his hand again, and continued to eat with his own small spoon, not wanting that the rice had not yet been delivered to his mouth, but Wei suddenly raised his hand and knocked over the bowl of chicken soup bibimbap that Xiaohuzi was holding in his arms.

Xiaohuzi was stunned, looking at his mother in a daze, and couldn't react for a while.

Wei immediately came back to her senses, she hurriedly held Xiaohuzi in her arms, and said with red eyes while touching his head: "I'm sorry, my mother didn't lose my temper with you, my mother was careless just now, I'm sorry." ”

Xiaohuzi lay in Wei's arms and didn't move, but looked at Wei with his pure and innocent dark eyes, and Wei's heart became more and more sour.

When Wei was persuaded by Mama Li, Xiaohuzi got out of Wei's arms, he looked at his broken rice bowl, and then looked at the food on the table, and then took He Linwan's bowl sitting on the seat next to him, bowed his head and devoured it, without chicken soup bibimbap, he ate white rice.

That night, Wei lay in bed all night without closing his eyes.

Early the next morning, because she was going to the temple to offer incense, everyone in the He family got up very early, and He Lin was woken up early by the movement outside, and when she got up, Wei had already combed her makeup.

Wei's face is still not good-looking, but when facing his children, he tries to make himself as pleasant as possible. After finishing breakfast in his yard, Wei took He Linwan and Xiaohuzi to take a carriage outside the second gate.

I didn't want them to go out of the verandah in the garden, but they heard crying from a distance, and when they got closer, they saw that there were several people who looked like servants pulling and pulling.

A woman in her thirties cried and begged a grandmother: "Mama Rong, you go and help me and beg the fourth lady not to kick me out of the house, my family is not in good health and can't work, there are old and young in the family, how can I live if I leave the house! Mama Rong, you can do well, help me, I will kowtow to you! I don't have the luxury of staying in the kitchen anymore, I can do any job!"

Mama Rong is about fifty years old, she was born thin and tall, there is no flesh on her face, her appearance looks a little mean, and her words are cold and impersonal: "The master's decision is not something that you and I can change if I change it, and besides, you made a mistake first." Get out of my way, out of my way. ”

When the woman heard this, she still refused to give up, still pulling Mama Rong's sleeve and crying and begging.

Here, Mama Li saw that Wei was looking in that direction thoughtfully, so she leaned over and whispered: "That woman was originally a small housekeeper in charge of kitchen purchasing, and the maid named Tinglan next to the eldest lady is her distant niece." After the fourth wife began to take care of the kitchen, a large number of people were replaced, and the woman named Gui's sister-in-law was also replaced by the fourth wife for an excuse to rush to Zhuangzi. ”

Wei immediately understood when he heard this, originally when Mrs. Cheng Enbo was in charge, the kitchen affairs were handed over to the eldest lady to manage, and the housekeepers in the kitchen were almost all the eldest wife's people, and now that the Yu family is in charge of the kitchen, the first thing to do is naturally to drive away the eldest lady's people and replace them with her own henchmen.

Wei turned his head and no longer looked over there, took Xiaohuzi's hand and walked over with an indifferent face.

There were already seven or eight carriages parked outside the second gate, and these were all for the masters of the He family to sit on, and the carriages that the maids and wives were going to sit in did not stop here, after all, the space was limited, and they couldn't stop at once.

The eldest lady Du Shi was the first to arrive, but she didn't get into the carriage first and just stood on the side, because the lady had not yet come, and it was not good for them to get on the carriage first. After Wei came, the two said hello, and chatted a few inconsequential words each,

It stands to reason that among the several concubines of the He family, the relationship between Wei and Du is closer, but Wei and Du do not interact much on weekdays. The eldest wife, Du Shi, has been following Mrs. Cheng Enbo as a housekeeper since she married into the He family, while Wei's has put her mind on a pair of children.

Mrs. Tai soon came out, and the second lady and the second wife were supporting her alone, and the fourth lady was also talking next to them.

Mrs. Tai raised her eyes and saw Wei and Du standing here, and Wei and Du stepped forward to salute her. Mrs. Tai didn't say anything, and went straight into her carriage.

After the second lady helped Mrs. Tai into the car, she turned around and smiled at Wei and Du, "You have been waiting for a long time? ”

The eldest lady's face was indifferent: "My third brother and sister and I have just arrived." ”

The second lady nodded and said kindly: "Let's get in the car too, let's leave early to avoid the heat on the road." ”

When the second lady got into the carriage, the ladies got into the carriage separately, Wei took He Linwan and Xiaohuzi to sit in the same carriage, and the girls and young masters who came behind either followed their mothers or sat in the same car with two or three people.

The side door opened, and the carriage of the He family went out of the Chengenbo Mansion in a majestic manner, perhaps because they went out early, and there were no people on the street outside the He Mansion, but when the carriage drove out of that street and entered the main road, there were more carriages, horses and pedestrians, and there were many people who seemed to be going to the temple to burn incense like them.

Little Tiger was lively and active, and rarely went out, and his ears moved when he heard the noise that was gradually increasing outside, and then he broke free from Wei's arms, climbed to the carriage window, and lifted the curtain to look out.

Wei originally wanted to stop it, but when she saw Xiaohuzi's sparkling eyes curiously and seriously looking at the pedestrians, cars and horses coming and going, she finally relented, sighed, and motioned for Ping'er to follow over to take care of it.

It was very quiet in the carriage, He Linwan leaned on the pillow in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, while Wei looked in the direction of Xiaohuzi, as if staring at a certain place.

Suddenly, Wei spoke: "The big lady in the kitchen has been replaced?"

Mama Li, who was making tea, was stunned, and then reacted very quickly and said: "Those few stewards have been replaced, and it is not clear whether there are any eldest wives among other people." ”

Wei Shi was silent for a moment, and then suddenly sneered: "Her appearance is too ugly. ”

Mama Li knew that Wei's remembered the chicken soup sent from the kitchen yesterday, and she was angry.

Mama Li was also very angry, after all, she knew that the chicken soup was for the sixth young master to drink, but the people in the kitchen deliberately put so much salt, this was to deceive her sixth young master who couldn't speak. Yu's is really raised by a little girl, and she can't be on the stage.

He Linwan's eyelashes, who were leaning on the side and pretending to sleep, couldn't help but move, thinking to himself if Wei's wanted to fight back?

After getting along for a while, He Linwan also has some understanding of Wei's mother, Wei's temper is very good, and he doesn't have any desire to fight for power and profit in the backyard, but no matter how good his temperament is, people who have no quarrel with the world also have a bottom line, and Wei's bottom line is her two children.

How can the fourth wife, Yu, be arrogant and rampant in front of her, Wei will not take it to heart, she can retreat, but the bowl of chicken soup yesterday completely angered Wei.

Mama Li said in a low voice: "I don't blame her for her ugly appearance, when Mrs. Bo was in charge, where was her turn to be the housekeeper? The slave maid heard that Mrs. Tai was very satisfied with her so-called 'vigorous and resolute' style, and planned to let her help the second wife take care of the treasury after a while. ”

Wei frowned.

Mama Li glanced at Wei, and asked with some caution and temptation on her face, "What do you think, madam?"

Wei Shi was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then said, "You can help me inquire about those people who are still working in the kitchen, maybe they will be useful." ”

Mama Li immediately responded, with some joy in her eyes, she felt that her wife was too detached on weekdays, so she was ridden on the head by a villain like Yu.

He Linwan opened her eyes at this time, staring thoughtfully at the car wall for a while, she felt that things were not so simple.

However, with her current status, it doesn't seem appropriate to say anything at this time.
