Chapter 293: Shameless
This is simply a naked slap in the face, but the third lady doesn't care about the implicit meaning, what she thinks at the moment is that she can't invite the table.
This menu, including the drinks, will cost at least one hundred taels of silver.
A hundred taels of silver to invite the slaves and maids to eat and drink, so if the lady invites the banquet, how much will it cost?
The third lady glanced at Dong Ruyi, who was dressed simply, and thought to herself, "Isn't this Miss Dong just an ornament, these maids are all slaves." ”
She handed the menu to Dong Ruyi, and then said, "You better take a look for yourself." ”
Dong Ruyi took the menu and looked at it carefully, and then asked, "Mother Liao, how much silver does this table of dishes cost?"
Liao's mother hesitated, and then said, "One hundred taels of silver." ”
Dong Ruyi slapped the piece of paper on the table with a snap, and Liao's mother, Xiangju, and Xianglan all knelt on the ground.
The third lady looked proud, and the expression was, "Look, if it weren't for me, you would have been deceived by these things." ”
Then she felt that Dong Ruyi's words were a little wrong.
Dong Ruyi scolded: "We are here for the first time, so please this time, a hundred taels of silver is too much to handle." Go and change two more good dishes, or add some fruits, pastries or something, since you want to please, you can ask for two hundred taels of silver. ”
At this moment, the third lady and Su Xin were already stunned, and their minds were blank.
When Dong Ruyi gave the county lord a red robe before, the third lady said privately that it was really money burning. Looking at it now, people have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it.
Liao's mother hurriedly responded: "Yes, it's the slave's fault." The slave maid only thought that the time was too rushed, and she was afraid of causing trouble to the mothers in the big kitchen, so she could set a hundred taels of silver. But I didn't expect the face of our Hongxiang Garden, and the slave maid reformulated the dishes. ”
Dong Ruyi's face softened slightly, "Get up, what you said makes sense." ”
She turned her head and asked the third lady, who was already stupid, "Third cousin, do you think these big kitchens will be too rushed?"
The third lady let out an 'ah', reacted, and then said, "I'm afraid these ingredients are not easy to buy." ”
Dong Ruyi nodded, "Mother Liao, you write thirty new dishes, and then take them to the people in the big kitchen to cross out some more." ”
Liao's mother should be, so she walked out.
Dong Ruyi sighed and said, "Third cousin and aunt continue, you said that your cousin is going home, and then what?"
Where did the third lady say that she wanted to invite the table.
A subordinate has to get two hundred taels of silver for a banquet, so how much silver does she have to make for a banquet?
She gritted her teeth, thinking to herself that this was clearly intentional.
Han Xiang came in from outside and said something in Xiangju's ear.
Xiangju said with a smile: "Miss, next month is the birthday of the second uncle, this is the gift list." ”
She said as she handed over a gift slip.
After Dong Ruyi opened it, he looked at it from the beginning, shook his head and said, "These things are very good, but they are all things on the scene." The second uncle and second aunt don't need these false courtesies.
The second uncle and the second aunt will not be happy to receive such a thing, not to mention that we are so far away, and it will take more than a month to send it over, and there are too many things to be inconvenient to transport. ”
Xiangju nodded and said, "That's exactly what is right here." ”
Dong Ruyi thought for a while, and then asked, "How much gold wire is left from the piece of gold we bought in Hangzhou?"
When Xiangju heard this, she turned her head to look at Xianglan.
Xianglan said: "Miss Hui's words, there is less than half left, and it took a lot of time to string this mat before." ”
Dong Ruyi said: "Well, I will send the remaining piece of gold thread to the second uncle." ”
Xianglan nodded, "It's still the young lady's thoughtfulness, and the second uncle must be very happy to receive it." ”
The third lady couldn't sit still anymore at the moment, if what she had just heard was right, then the jade mat made under her ass was strung with gold thread.
She looked down, and the golden threads could be faintly seen in the gaps, especially in the light.
The third lady had forgotten the purpose of her coming at the moment, and she just sat there in a daze.
Dong Ruyi seemed to have forgotten her, and directly began to deal with things.
She asked one thing after another, and finally two mothers-in-law carried a big nanmu box in.
Han Xiang saluted and said, "Miss, this is sent by Mr. Wen, saying that it is the accounts of this quarter." ”
Dong Ruyi nodded, and then he didn't shy away from it, so he started to take stock in front of the third lady.
Dong Ruyi looked at the tea time, and then remembered the third lady sitting opposite, she put down the account book in her hand and said: "Look at my memory, I forgot that the third cousin is still here, does the third cousin still have something?"
The third lady forced out a stiff smile, "You said that your cousin is leaving, and I want you to go over and sit down." You see you're busy here, why don't you go to your cousin's for lunch at noon, I'll just ask the kitchen to add a few dishes to you. ”
Xiangju and Xianglan were completely stunned, everyone was so busy, and the third lady even asked their young lady to come over, which was too shameful.
Dong Ruyi was a little crying and laughing at the moment, she finally understood Mrs. An's previous mood, and also understood why Mrs. An would let her live in Hongxiang Garden.
It's really no matter how you slap your face, people don't feel it at all.
Dong Ruyi said in his heart: "I'm afraid that if I don't agree today, this person will be able to come and not leave." ”
She then nodded and said, "That's ......
Xiangju, ask Mother Liao not to prepare today's lunch, and ask her to bring my lunch dishes to my third cousin. ”
Xiangju should get down, turn around and go out.
The third lady didn't react to what Dong Ruyi was going to do.
Dong Ru explained: "My daily food is prepared by Liao's mother, and you can also see that I am so busy every day, if I don't eat well, it will not work." I'm afraid I'm going to make the third cousin and cousin break the bill now. ”
When the third lady heard this, she said directly: "This... I'm afraid that if I change the dishes temporarily, the big kitchen can't be prepared all at once. ”
Xianglan smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't have it, in fact, according to the slave maid, Mother Liao here is estimated to have started to prepare, otherwise Miss will go over tomorrow?"
I have to let Miss Yan prepare for this, and it's not good to catch people off guard. ”
Dong Ruyi said with a smile: "Look at my impatience, then let Mother Liao bring all my menus for the past ten days to my third cousin and aunt, see when it is ready, and when I will pass?"
The smile on the third lady's face couldn't hold back any longer, and she said sourly, "The things we eat on weekdays must not be compared with you here." ”
Xianglan said with a smile: "Look at what the third lady said, in the first two days of our young lady's visit, we also ate dishes made in the big kitchen. ”
The third lady was dumbfounded.
Xianglan said: "Xing'er, go and tell Liao's mother to bring the menu of Miss's food." ”
Apricot nodded and ran away.
