Mrs. An took over the menu in the hands of the third lady, and most of the dishes on it were local famous dishes in Jiangning Mansion and Suzhou and Hangzhou.

She is a native of Jiangning Mansion, so she naturally knows these dishes. It's just that these dishes are so expensive that she has only eaten them once or twice, and there are some that she has never heard of and eaten, after all, their women are different from those men who go out to socialize.

Mrs. An only wants to say two words to the third lady at the moment: "deserve it". It's a pity that she can't and doesn't dare.

She can't add fuel to the fire, she wants to appease Dong Ruyi as soon as possible, and let the third lady retreat in a difficult way, and send Yan Wanru away quickly.

As for the whole story, she'll ask about it later.

Mrs. An smiled and quipped: "Sister Ru, do you want to eat at home? You pick a few dishes, and the fourth cousin and aunt are treated." ”

Dong Ruyi's expression was faint, and she said directly: "I'm afraid that the fourth cousin has misunderstood, this is the third cousin's aunt who wants to treat the east, and Sister Ru just said the dishes she likes to eat on weekdays." ”

Mrs. An chuckled in her heart, she knew that Dong Ruyi was really annoyed, otherwise she wouldn't even bother to say anything about the scene.

It's just that now she can't blame others, not to say that she is here to cooperate with them, but to say that she is here to visit relatives.

If she returns to Jiangning Mansion by herself, if she is disturbed by irrelevant people again and again within a month, she will be directly annoyed.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.

Seeing this, Xiangju served tea to Mrs. An, "Fourth lady, please use tea." ”

Mrs. Ann nodded, she took two sips, put down her cup and looked at the account books stacked on the small table.

Mrs. An said in her heart: "Everyone has said it so clearly and clearly, these three sisters-in-law are really ......."

She didn't know how the third lady's temperament was unsatisfactory and unwilling.

If she had been able to carry it, then Yan Wanru would not have lived until this moment.

Mrs. An rubbed her eyebrows and smiled, "Look, it's really not the right time for me to come here, since Sister Ru is busy, I'll talk about the meal later." ”

Mrs. An turned to the third lady and quipped, "Third sister-in-law, I can tell you first, if you want to order such a dish, you have to remember to call me." There are a few of them, and I'm so hungry. ”

She changed her words and reminded: "It's just that this table is down, I'm afraid that the third sister-in-law is going to break the bill, and it is estimated that it will cost six or seven hundred taels of silver!"

Mrs. An said this, in order to give herself and the third lady a step down, if the three ladies understand, directly respond to the previous sentence, then we will go together and be done.

Seeing that Dong Ruyi's expression was getting more and more wrong, she began to beat the drum in her heart, thinking about sending the third lady away first, and then coming back to appease her.

As for the last sentence, she just warned the third lady that such a table... You can't afford it, and now it's really shameless to leave quickly.

She didn't need to say anything about the rest, there was still the county lord above them, and the county lord would find an opportunity to explain it clearly to the third lady.

Dong Ruyi didn't say anything, what happened in the past half a month of An Jia made her question the ability of An Jia.

Many things could have been avoided, but it was obvious that both the county lord of Annan and Mrs. An hoped that the An family could get along in harmony.

Of course, they did it, and the four ladies of the An family are indeed very harmonious, although there are occasional dissatisfaction or frictions, they don't matter, and there is no bump in anyone's life.

It's just that she is different from others, she is here to cooperate with the An family, she needs the absolute trust of both parties, and the absolute authority of the other party.

Just like she cooperated with Chen Mingxing, Tang Yuchen, and Shopkeeper Hao, no matter how thrilling her side was, they always kept the same pace as her.

If there was a little trouble or chaos in one of the three of them at that time, because of the lack of authority in the family and clan, the final result would be different.

And the An family, after Yan Wanru made trouble for her, although the county lord of Annan had already punished Yan Wanru and let Yan Wanru leave the An family, it was obvious that the means were too gentle.

That's why Yan Wanru thought of her as an imaginary enemy, which led to today's events.

She is very satisfied with the tightness of the An family shipyard, but the biggest hidden danger of An Jia is spies.

If Mrs. An's tolerance of the third lady and others in the An family is for the sake of the family and the prosperity of everything.

Then Dong Ruyi also believes that Mrs. An, as the person in charge of the shipyard, will also tolerate some people for various reasons.

And this kind of forbearance is tantamount to shielding spies in disguise.

So Dong Ruyi hesitated for the first time.

Yan Wanru's character and the style of the third lady made her even have some ideas about the An family.

And more importantly, that is, she does not have to settle down and cooperate.

In addition to the An family, the Xia family in Liangguang can also cooperate with her.

Originally, when she chose to cooperate, she took the Xia family into account, just because the Xia family's identity is relatively special, Queen Xia's maiden family.

Therefore, she chose to settle down.

The lesser of two evils, Dong Ruyi felt that he should go to Liangguang and Guangzhou, and then decide who to cooperate with.

Dong Ruyi's silence made the bad premonition in Mrs. An's heart even stronger.

Xiangju saw that Dong Ruyi was silent, and hurriedly interjected: "Where can you use six or seven hundred taels." Previously, we were in Dong's house, and such a meal was only more than 500 taels of silver. ”

Dong Ruyi still didn't speak, she put one hand on her lap, and her fingers tapped rhythmically.

Xianglan knew that Dong Ruyi was thinking, so she continued Xiangju's words: "Mrs. An, don't listen to Xiangju's nonsense. According to the slave maid, six or seven hundred taels are wanted. After all, this is not Jiangning, and many of these dishes are only available locally in Jiangning Mansion.

If this is transported quickly, maybe six or seven hundred taels of silver will not be enough. ”

Mrs. An smiled: "That's the reason, just this day, I'm afraid it will be difficult for those dishes to be transported to Annan." ”

The third lady was stunned, she didn't expect Mrs. An to be so faceless.

She knew that Mrs. An was not happy that she came to Hongxiangyuan, but they had been concubines for so many years, and this was the first time that she had no face in front of outsiders.

She is getting more and more uncomfortable in her heart, this Miss Dong family doesn't take her in her eyes before she enters the door, if she really enters the door, where is her status.

What's more, it is obvious that this Miss Dong family is a powerful person, just looking at the slaves and maids in this room, she said that there were no rules on her face, but this morning, there was not a trace of error in their words.

The third lady was scared in her heart, she didn't want to get rid of the power of the housekeeper, and she didn't want to die in a random inconspicuous small courtyard.

She clenched her fists, she decided to test the attitude of Mrs. An and this Miss Dong, she came here today anyway.
