Chapter 5 Targeting

Mama Li saw that there were no outsiders around, and she couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what Mrs. Tai thinks, the uncle and the late second master are both born to her, and the two daughters-in-law are also daughters-in-law, so they should have a bowl of water, but over the years, Mrs. Tai has been facing Mrs. Uncle as if she was facing an enemy." ”

In this regard, Wei also couldn't figure it out, since she married to Chengenbo's mansion, the fight between Mrs. Tai and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chengenbo, has not been broken, and in the end she can only sigh: "Presumably because the second uncle went early, so Mrs. Tai will have more pity on the second aunt." ”

Mama Li thought of what Ping'er said just now, and said worriedly: "I don't know how long Madame will be locked up by Madame Tai, if only my uncle was in the house." ”

Although Mrs. Cheng Enbo is more respectful of her eldest daughter-in-law Du, she is not too bad for Wei's daughter-in-law, at least when Mrs. Cheng Enbo was in charge, the kitchen steward never dared to give them a look at the face of the western courtyard.

Wei was a little unimpressed when he heard this, Cheng Enbo has always been cold to his wife Wei, even if he is in the mansion, he will not intercede for Wei, maybe he will be happy to see it.

"I'm afraid that Mother won't be released so easily, and even if she comes out of the Buddhist hall, she probably won't ...... again," Wei said and paused.

Mama Li was keenly aware of it, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that there are other reasons for this?"

Mama Li was brought by the Wei family from her mother's family, and she was still her biological mother's eldest maid, so the Wei family trusted Mama Li very much, so she hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "I heard that Fan Ge is old and wise." ”

Mama Li was stunned, although she didn't understand the affairs of the imperial court, she also knew that Fan Ge's old Fan Yun was the mentor of Wei Shouzhi, the maiden brother of Mrs. Cheng Enbo. There are many factions in the imperial court, and there is constant fighting, if Fan Gelao's faction is defeated and retreats, then the future of Lord Wei will definitely be affected.

"No wonder......" Mama Li muttered, "I heard that the eldest lady's maiden family is from the same faction as the Wei family, no wonder the eldest lady has also handed over the stewardship." ”

In the past, both Mrs. Tai and Cheng Enbo would more or less scruple about Mrs. Cheng Enbo's maiden family, but now that the Wei family itself is difficult to protect, Mrs. Tai can't help but take action.

Mama Li couldn't help but sigh: "It's good that the Wei family is fine, otherwise ......"

I don't want to think that Mama Li's words have not been finished, Wei's face turned cold, she has always been gentle and good-tempered, but at this time she spoke with some mockery: "Even if Master Wei is on the rise, what does it have to do with me? Although I am the daughter of the Wei family, others also treat me as a motherless family!"

Mama Li opened her mouth, but still shook her head and persuaded: "Miss, don't talk angry, this woman with a mother's family and a woman without a mother's family are different after all." It's okay for you to be angry with the old man and his wife, but the connection with the Wei family can never be broken. You should think it is for the eldest girl and the sixth young master, otherwise wouldn't the days after this be even more difficult?"

Wei's face was still cold, but when Mama Li mentioned He Linwan and Xiaohuzi, she finally pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Mama Li couldn't help but sigh again.

At this time, the nurse came in with Xiaohuzi, and Mama Li didn't say anything more, and hurriedly asked the maid to fetch water to come in and wait for Xiaohuzi to wash his face and wash his hands.

He Linwan was still pretending to sleep on the kang at first, and it didn't take long for her to really fall asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already midnight, and she was already lying on her bed at that time, presumably it was Wei Shi who asked her to carry her back.

He Lin's illness had been cured, and after getting up in the morning, he followed Wei to ask Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, Mrs. Tai was very displeased with Wei and Xiaohuzi, so she sent them away early, and Wei did not stay long, let alone mention yesterday's kitchen in front of Mrs. Tai and the second lady.

But when he came out of the wife's room, the fourth wife, Yu, followed.

Yu and Wei are about the same age, and they are beautiful and graceful, although she has just given birth to her fourth child, her figure is not out of shape.

Yu Shi helped the shining glass step on his bun, covered his lips with a fan and smiled down, with infinite style.

"Third sister-in-law, are you going back to the West Courtyard?"

Wei glanced at her, nodded, and did not speak.

Yu squinted at Wei while fanning the incense and said, "I heard that there is an unruly maid in the yard of the third sister-in-law, and she made a big fuss in the kitchen yesterday, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Several maids behind Wei were a little angry when they heard this, but because of their identity, they could only bow their heads and endure it.

Yu naturally didn't care about the maid's face, she just looked at Wei and smiled: "Mrs. Tai and the second aunt have already handed over the kitchen affairs to me, I have never been in charge of the house, so I can't help but be a little busy when I take over, if there is anything that neglects the third sister-in-law, please let the third sister-in-law tolerate it." Just ......"

Speaking of this, Wei paused slightly, and then smiled again, "It's just that the third sister-in-law has to take good care of the maids in the yard, it's not good to be too unruly, even if I don't want to worry about this little thing, the stewards below still have to do things." This time, it's okay to look at the face of the third sister-in-law, but if there is a next time...... If the third sister-in-law is soft-hearted and unwilling to punish a maid, I don't mind acting as this wicked person. ”

Yu's words of reversing black and white against Wei made the people around Wei tremble with anger, and the impulsive thrush was about to speak, but was pulled by the cuckoo next to her.

Wei Shi was not very angry, she glanced at Yu Shi, and her tone was very gentle: "Thank you for reminding the fourth brother and sister, I will take good care of my maid in the future." Yesterday was just a trivial matter, the maid saw that the chicken soup in our west courtyard was cold, and when the four brothers and sisters took care of the kitchen in the future, they would probably not care about this trivial matter. ”

Yu Shi heard that Wei was mocking her for being incompetent and not even being able to manage a kitchen, she sneered in her heart, but her mouth was surprised: "Chicken soup? What chicken soup is it? I listed yesterday's menu, but there is no chicken soup." ”

When Wei heard this, he knew that Yu was deliberately targeting.

Because Xiaohuzi likes to eat chicken soup, when Mrs. Cheng Enbo was in charge of the house, she asked the kitchen to stew a bowl for the West Courtyard every day. It's just a bowl of chicken soup, and it's not a rare thing, and it's nothing to a family like Chengenbo Mansion, so no one has expressed dissatisfaction.

I don't want the Yu family to be a housekeeper, so I will take this matter first.

Wei didn't want to argue with people like Yu that the chicken soup was made by Mrs. Cheng Enbo in the kitchen, so she just nodded: "That may be my mistake, if Xiyuan wants something that is not on the menu in the future, it will add more money to the public school." ”

After saying this, Wei didn't care what Yu's reaction was, nodded and passed by Yu with his own people.

Yu squinted slightly, looked at Wei's back and snorted coldly.

"Wait and see!"

The fourth wife and the third wife are not compatible, this is something that the entire He family knows.

In fact, if you want to seriously investigate it, it should be said that the fourth wife, Yu, always unilaterally opposes the third wife, Wei, and Wei's is the fourth wife who is not very reasonable most of the time.

If Wei Shi wanted to tell how the feud between her and Yu Shi was formed, Wei Shi might not really be able to say why, she herself felt that she didn't seem to have done anything worthy of Yu Shi hating her for so long.

Wei and Yu both grew up in the capital, the gate of Wei and Yu is on the same street, the two have known each other since childhood, but Wei and Yu don't have much contact, the two didn't even say a few words, but Wei and Yu's sister are handkerchiefs.

Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. Although Wei has never had the intention of looking down on the concubines, the girls still prefer to play with the girls.

At that time, people paid attention to the difference between the highlands and the concubines, the son-in-law married the daughter-in-law, and the concubine married the concubine is almost a customary rule for the high-ranking family, so the Yu family naturally married He Guanghui, the concubine of the He family, but he didn't expect to be a concubine with the Wei family.

At noon, when the people in the West Courtyard went to the kitchen to get food, there was no chicken soup, not only the chicken soup was gone, but even the dishes for the West Courtyard were cold, especially the steamed buns, which were hard and erected as if they were left over from the day before yesterday.

Because of Wei's instructions, the maids who went to the kitchen to get the food didn't say much, but they put the cold steamed buns in the steamer and steamed them once, and the dishes were also hot once, even so, the stewards in the kitchen didn't give them a good look.

Xiaohuzi was very unhappy because he didn't have his favorite chicken soup for lunch, but he still nibbled on three steamed buns fiercely, but he was a little sullen and unhappy all afternoon. At dinner, Wei asked Mama Li to add silver to the kitchen, and then asked for Xiaohuzi's rations.

The Yu family is in charge of the kitchen, and Wei's will inevitably suffer some anger, but it is only a little angry, and Wei's will spend more money and endure it again, and Wei's will not care much, not to mention what if she cares?

Wei Linwan didn't say anything in her eyes, she was new to the city, and she was not very familiar with the situation of the He family, the Wei family could bear it, so what could she not bear.

However, Wei noticed that his daughter's temper was much better, and she was also a lot more gentle when she ate, and thought that she had been locked up for a while to take her sex.

Soon it was June 19, the day when the He family went to Baoan Temple to offer incense.
