Chapter 753: I can't put it down
"Husband, you go back... Come... Liu Xi's originally cheerful voice suddenly became like a robot, and she spit out the next few words one by one, because she saw Cai Yan, Diao Xiu'er and Lu Lingqi following behind Yuan Chang, and after her face changed slightly, she immediately recovered, smiled again, and greeted.
"The three younger sisters are also here, come in and sit down, and you have to come and go a lot on weekdays, don't be so angry!" Liu Xi naturally knew that her husband had an ambiguous relationship with the third daughter, so she laid down the status of her main palace when she opened her mouth, and made it clear that Cai Yan's third daughter would be below her in the future.
In fact, Liu Xi is not a stingy person on weekdays, and the main reason why he has to care about this is that Cai Yan's three daughters do not come to talk to her on weekdays, and they rarely come to the door unless Yuan Chang invites them.
Therefore, Liu Xi thinks that they are competing for status with themselves. In this era where you can have three wives and four concubines, Liu Xi is unwilling to be a jealous woman, which makes people blame.
However, the other party made it clear that he was going to compete with him for status, if she hadn't said it, how could there be a seat for her in the family in the future.
However, Liu Xi wronged Cai Yan's three daughters. After all, they have no name and no part in Yuan Chang, and what is even more excessive is that Yuan Chang only teases people's hearts, but does not express his position, now is not the era of later generations, and if the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend is determined, you can bring it to the door during the day and at night.
Even if they don't mind other people's accusations, they have to take into account the impact on Yuan Chang. Therefore, they usually have nothing to do and rarely come to the door, so as not to be talked about.
And their actions fell into Liu Xi's eyes, but they were regarded as an act of provoking her status, which made people a little laughable.
Of course, it is all Yuan Chang's fault. And because of the lack of communication with each other, such a misunderstanding occurs, which makes people laugh and cry.
Cai Yan is a well-known talented woman, a high-minded and arrogant person, if Liu Xi has a good conversation, she will naturally behave well and be knowledgeable, gentle and graceful.
However, Liu Xi's posture of fighting with carriages and horses, how could Cai Yan be afraid, chuckled, and responded: "Sister said that I laughed, how old is my idiot, if my sister calls me 'sister', wouldn't it make people think that my sister is older? As for the fact that he rarely comes on weekdays, it is also because the owner of this house is not at home, so it is not easy to come to the door at will. Obviously, Cai Yan's last sentence meant to tell Liu Xi that Yuan Chang was the owner of the house, and if they didn't treat Liu Xi as the hostess, then Liu Xi wouldn't be the owner of the house.
"Hehe, Sister Zhaoji is right!" Zhen Jiang chuckled and agreed, ignoring Liu Xi's good sister
The expression of "mutiny" continued: "Sister Zhao Ji is a few years older, Sister Xi wants to be Sister Zhao Ji's sister, it seems that there is no hope. However, fortunately, Sister Xi has this well-behaved, cute and clever sister, and it is enough to think about it. At this moment, Liu Xi reacted, Zhen Jiang was helping himself to fight
"Opponents". Zhen Jiang seemed to be saying that Liu Xi should call Cai Yan his sister on the surface, but what he secretly meant was to tell Cai Yan that if he wanted to enter the door, he had to call Liu Xi his sister, otherwise he wouldn't enter the door.
You see, I'm also a little older than Liu Xi, and those who enter the door later don't still have to call Liu Xi sister. The women present were not stupid, and naturally heard the meaning of her words.
Yuan Changfu's forehead was full of wry smiles, why did they start to fight like Mars colliding with the earth as soon as they met.
coughed lightly, interrupted their battle, and then said softly to Liu Xi: "Xi'er, today for her husband, I invite Zhaoji, Xiu'er and Lingqi to come to the house as guests, and see some things, so you don't quarrel." I'm going to arrange dinner first, and then I'll let you see it together after dinner. Now, you're just sitting here drinking tea and chatting, but don't quarrel anymore, you know?"
"Got it!" Liu Xi responded, pursed his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "This is all over, and there are new people who forget the old people, and they begin to feel sorry for others, hum!" With Yuan Chang's strength, he could naturally hear Liu Xi's words clearly, but he couldn't take this stubble.
After all, it's all his fault, although he can have three wives and four concubines in these years, but it's not the same that there are many people who only have one wife.
When Yuan Chang left, the scene suddenly quieted down. Although Yuan Chang told Liu Xi not to quarrel with Cai Yan and them, he was not telling Cai Yan and them that everyone should live together peacefully and not quarrel.
In the past, if it was put on the surface and quarreled too much, I believe Yuan Chang would also be unhappy.
Therefore, they can only stare at each other with big eyes and look at each other, which is quite harmonious.
"The husband said let's drink tea, and I will take out the tea leaves that the husband treasures and taste them. On weekdays, Lifujun is stingy, but today several sisters came to visit, and he had nothing to say if he wanted to come!" Zhen Jiang said, breaking the silent atmosphere, and trotted away, taking advantage of Yuan Chang's absence, he quickly took out the tea he treasured in the study.
"But it's good tea!" As soon as Zhen Jiang lifted the lid, the pungent fragrance came, and Cai Yan couldn't help but praise.
As a talented woman who likes to drink tea, Cai Yan can naturally distinguish the quality of tea. Hearing this, Liu Xi smiled slightly, put on the posture of the master's house, and said in a grand manner: "If Sister Zhaoji likes it, you might as well bring some back to taste when you leave later, so that the tea falls into the mouth of a talented woman like Sister Zhaoji, and the husband will not object, I don't know what Sister Zhaoji wants?" Cai Yan also smiled, and responded lightly: "That's not necessary, the chairman of the committee saw that I was doing my duty, and I had already sent it, and there was still some stock at home, so I don't have to bother my sister." ”
"Uh..." Liu Xi's smile suddenly froze on her face, and she seemed to remember that because she and Zhen Jiang's second daughter didn't like tea, they gave the tea to Cai Yan.
In the past, when Cai Yan talked about poetry with other talented women in Youzhou, he would talk about tea while drinking tea, and the tea he drank was given by Yuan Chang.
Liu Xi just wanted to express the status of his master's family, but he was hit by Cai Yan in a blink of an eye, and his heart was full of anger, it seems that she is too good to talk, and then let Yuan Chang sleep in the living room for a few days, and let Zhen Jiang's sister also turn Yuan Chang away, see if he dares or not.
Seeing Liu Xi's expression, Zhen Jiang didn't know what she thought, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "My husband has always been like this, and he has never been stingy with those who are loyal to his duties, and it is really a great blessing for Sister Zhaoji to be able to work with a generous and benevolent lord like her husband." Listening to Zhen Jiang's words, Liu Xi's depressed anger suddenly dissipated.
That's right, Cai Yan is still working for Yuan Chang now, but she is Yuan Chang's wife, and her status is always higher, so why be angry, suddenly, the anger dissipated.
However, the punishment for Yuan Chang is indispensable, otherwise it will not seem that he is easy to bully.
"Haha, that's right, let's sit down and drink tea and chat, isn't it a beautiful thing, why bother to fight. You go on, I'll go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it. Yuan Chang's voice came, it turned out that he was cooking in the kitchen, worried about Liu Xi and Cai Yan in the hall, they quarreled again, took a gap out to take a look, and found that they were
"Harmonious" conversation, very satisfied. Of course, in fact, with his strength, he could naturally hear their conversation in the hall in the kitchen.
However, if he used his own strength in this kind of place to listen to the corner, Yuan Chang felt that life would be too boring, so he naturally would not use his strength to eavesdrop.
It was precisely because of Yuan Chang's approach that he didn't know about the conversation between Liu Xi and Cai Yan just now, so that he stayed alone in the empty room for the next few days, but he didn't know why.
Glancing at the direction of the kitchen, Cai Yan said quietly: "With such an identity as the chairman, but he will cook in person, the two sisters are really a blessing, if the world knows, I don't know how envious I will be." "Cai Yan is envious?
Of course not, her words are actually secretly mocking Liu Xi and Zhen Jiang, as a woman, she can't cook, and she has to let Yuan Chang, who is a man, cook, if the world knows, I'm afraid that I will be criticized, as for envy, it is impossible.
Of course, Liu Xi and Zhen Jiang also heard the meaning of Cai Yan's words, and immediately bit their silver teeth, but they couldn't refute it.
Of course, it's not that they don't know how to cook, it's just that compared with Yuan Chang's cooking skills, it's a world of difference, and they are used to Yuan Chang's craftsmanship, how can they cook?
Moreover, after getting used to Yuan Chang's cooking, they didn't feel that there was anything about it, and at this time, Cai Yan brought it up, and they were powerless to refute it.
Men earn money outside the home to support their families, and women serve at home and raise children, which is an unspoken rule that has been handed down from time to time.
It cannot be said that society is unfair, and even in later generations, such forms are common. Just like a man who marries a rich girl and then lives by a rich girl, then he will be scolded for eating soft rice, having a white face, etc., and if a woman marries a rich man, no one will say anything.
This is a long-standing habit, a subconscious thought, advocating equality between men and women, obviously not overnight.
Hmph! Liu Xi and Zhen Jiang snorted coldly in their hearts, and now they don't refute, wait for Cai Yan and the others to taste Yuan Chang's craftsmanship, and see what else they have to say.
The time was spent in Liu Xi and Cai Yan's chat, and after a while, Yuan Chang brought a few delicious dishes to the table, although they had not yet tasted them, but the appearance and fragrance alone made people swallow their saliva.
Liu Xi and Zhen Jiang have long been used to it, so naturally they have no superfluous reactions, although Cai Yan and Diao Xiuer were surprised, they also treated it indifferently, after all, their personalities are like this, so naturally they will not behave too badly.
Only Lu Lingqi, with an expression of eagerness to put all the dishes in her stomach, made Cai Yan and Diao Xiuer feel speechless.
"All right, let's sit down and have dinner, and when we have dinner we will show you something magical. Yuan Chang pretended to be mysterious and said, of course, all the women also cooperated with him, and they all showed a curious expression, which made Yuan Chang feel comfortable.
After just tasting a bite of the dish, Lu Lingqi couldn't care about anything else, and took out the demeanor of her old son Lu Bu, like a whirlwind and clouds, fiercely attacking the dishes on the table, and only after eating three bowls of rice in a row did she caress her stomach, burping, and looking like a refugee who has been hungry for a long time.
Then, Lu Lingqi noticed that the dinner table seemed to be a little too quiet. Looking up, Liu Xi and Zhen Jiang looked at her with a smile, Cai Yan and Diao Xiu'er looked at her with angry expressions, only Yuan Chang still had a warm smile, which made people can't help but indulge in his smile.
Oh, let Yuan Gongzi see other people's appearance, will he dislike them? Really, it's all because the dishes he made are so delicious that people get carried away, so it's not her fault, it's Yuan Chang's fault.
If Yuan Chang knew Lu Lingqi's thoughts, he would probably shout that he was wronged, and he wouldn't carry this pot. Regarding Cai Yan and Diao Xiuer's expressions, Lu Lingqi directly ignored them.
Our eldest sister doesn't talk about the second sister, the turtle thinks that we don't know the amount of food for the two of you, and only eat a small bowl at home on weekdays, but today we eat two big bowls for the first time, if they dare to laugh at themselves, see if they don't reveal their truth.
seemed to understand the meaning in Lu Lingqi's eyes, Cai Yan and Diao Xiu'er also retracted their gazes, they themselves were a little embarrassed, and the amount of food on weekdays was only a small bowl, but today it broke the record.
There's no way, the dishes made by Yuan Chang are really delicious, they really can't help it, what if they can't eat it in the future, woo woo!
Liu Xi had a playful smile on his face,
"Praised" to: "Oh, the two sisters' meals are really good, they can eat two bowls of rice, but they can still maintain such a figure, it's really enviable." Alas, people can't do it, but they can only eat more than one bowl when they are pregnant, which is not as good as the two sisters!" Obviously, Liu Xi was taking revenge on Cai Yan for mocking them for not cooking just now.
Now look at it, the two of you eat no less food and vegetables than anyone else, and see if you dare to mock us. In this regard, Cai Yan and Diao Xiuer were powerless to refute, their performance just now fell into the eyes of others, what else could they do, they were also desperate.
"Ahem!" Yuan Chang coughed dryly, interrupted their confrontation, and hurriedly said: "By the way, which of you Xi'er and Luo'er wash the dishes today, the old rules, I cook, and you are responsible for the tableware." ”
"Husband, my sister is pregnant, so let me wash it!" Zhen Jiang responded, originally the two of them took turns washing the dishes.
However, since Liu Xi became pregnant, most of the time Zhen Jiang did it, and very few people let Liu Xi do it, after all, even if she is pregnant, there is still a moderate amount of exercise.
"Okay, Luo'er, you will work hard!" Yuan Chang said softly with concern, then looked at Liu Xi and Cai Yan, and said, "I'll go get something, I promise that this thing will make you love it." ”
