Chapter 34: Let it go
"What's wrong with the bird's nest?" the second lady asked suspiciously, looking dazed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing this, the old lady's face turned slightly pale, and her tone was no longer so stern, "This is the blood bird's nest sent to Xiao Qi today, this is bullying Xiao Qi's young age, don't you know what blood bird's nest is?"
The second lady was shocked, and she had heard about the old lady instructing the big kitchen to send blood bird's nest to Miss Cousin to replenish her body, but she really didn't expect that the big kitchen would have the courage to go against the grain.
"Old lady, you also know that the daughter-in-law has just taken over the feed, and many things have not been figured out, thinking that the sister-in-law did not make a big mistake when she took care of the feed before, you can take your time, how can you think of ......" The second lady's eyes rolled, so it was difficult.
She originally prepared a play carefully for the eldest lady, but before the show was staged, Miss Biao warmed her up, this Miss Cousin was really hidden, she always thought she was arrogant and domineering, and she would also calculate people.
In this Hou Mansion, there is no fuel-efficient lamp!
The old lady choked, was silent for a while, and said, "You let it go." ”
The second lady was happy, she didn't move for a long time, not because she was afraid that the old lady would hand over the feed to her only temporarily, for fear of accidentally angering the old lady, and then take back the feed.
Now that she has a token, the old lady Chrysostom said that she should let go and do it.
"The old lady can rest assured, her daughter-in-law will not let Xiao Qibai be wronged. The second lady said solemnly.
This can be regarded as a promise to the old lady, she knows that the old lady is most at ease in her heart, and she is afraid that after she goes, Miss Cousin will have no one to shelter.
The old lady obviously understood her voice, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Yun Qin beside her, "You go and take out my set of sapphire gilt head noodles and give it to the second lady." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the second lady, she had been thinking about the old lady's sapphire gilt head face for a long time, but every time she mentioned it, she was fooled by the old lady's gag, she didn't expect the old lady to value Miss Biao so much, and for Miss Cousin, she gave away her set of wedding jewelry.
Thinking about this, I was surprised and a little sour at the same time, after all, I got it by Miss Cousin...... If the old lady could be half as good as Miss Cousin for her cigarettes, she would be content!
Let the personal maid take over the head in Yun Qin's hand, the second lady suppressed the urge to touch it, and got up to say goodbye.
The old lady was old and tired, so she waved her hand happily to let the second lady step back.
"Call the kitchen stewards. When the second lady returned to her yard, she told the maid to go to the big kitchen.
The new official has three fires, and her first fire is about to start burning.
The stewards who were notified were a little apprehensive in their hearts, but a trace of pride and resentment flashed in Mama Du's eyes.
The four of them, a chief steward and three deputy stewards, came to the second lady's Furong Garden so nervously, as they expected, what was waiting for them was not hot tea and snacks, but hot faces and cold buttocks.
"The four grandmothers waited a moment, and the slave maid went back to the second lady. ”
These were the words of the maid to them when they first came, but half an hour had passed, and they did not even see the shadow of the maid.
The faces of the four people are not very good, this is obviously dismounted.
Especially the chief steward Mama Wang, even if it is the eldest lady, she has never neglected her so much, which time is not a good tea and good water?
The second lady didn't dare to cut her, she didn't want to suffer here, so she said coldly, "There's something going on in the big kitchen, I'll go back first, if the second lady asks, help the old woman sue her." ”
After speaking, he strode away with three stunned eyes.
Mama Du almost laughed, Mama Wang was not there, didn't they say whatever they wanted?
The other two deputy stewards looked at each other, Gu both lowered their heads, the two of them were able to sit in the position of deputy steward in the big kitchen, relying on the old lady, as long as the old lady was still there, no one dared to move their positions.
After another tea time, a little maid finally came out and said that the second lady let them in.
The second lady's face was not very good, and when the little maid reported to her that Mama Wang had left angrily, she was looking at the letter written by her son, and her joyful mood was completely destroyed.
Originally, she was still a little hesitant, since she dared to rely on the eldest lady and not give her face, don't blame her for making a move!
A slap on the wrist to a sweet date is a method used by the superiors.
After the three deputy stewards came in, the gloomy expression on the second lady's face changed to gentleness, "The three grandmothers have been waiting for a long time, come and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”
The three of them accepted it after a little concession, after all, the cold wind blew for most of the hour, and they also longed for a cup of hot tea in their hearts.
The second lady looked at the three people under her with satisfaction, a kind of arrogance of the superior came out spontaneously, no wonder everyone likes power, and after tasting the taste of power, I don't want to lose it again...... Thinking of this, the second lady's eyes narrowed, she must not lose the right to control the feed, this is the first step for the second room and the big house to fight.
After sitting for a while, Mama Du couldn't sit still, and before the matter was decided, she always hung the steel knife on her head, but knowing that the second lady wanted to operate on herself, she didn't dare to speak, and beads of sweat appeared faintly on her forehead.
The other two deputy stewards were calm and tight, relying on each other, and they didn't make any mistakes, so they naturally wouldn't be nervous.
After another cup of tea, just when Mama Du was about to sit still, the second lady spoke.
"Tell me about your respective responsibilities. ”
After this period of atmosphere pressure, the three of them have a little more awe of the second lady in their hearts, the persimmons are all soft pinching, the second lady is not something they can handle, and psychologically they naturally set a position for themselves.
Listening to the reports of the three of them in turn, she emphatically set a few more sentences, she knew the general situation of the big kitchen, and casually chatted a few polite words to let a few people do a good job, and then sent a few people away.
Just when Mama Du put down the stone in her heart a little, she heard the second lady say, "Mama Du will stay for a while." ”
Gurgle......
Mama Du's heart trembled, her face was not obvious, she smiled flatteringly at the second lady, and stood there restrainedly.
The second lady casually fiddled with her nails and hung Mama Du there, knowing that it felt like the heat was almost over, before she said, "Does Mama Du know why she left you alone?"
Mama Du bowed her head slightly, for fear that the second lady would see the cold sweat on her forehead, her liver trembled, and she replied cautiously, "Back to the second lady's words, the old slave doesn't know." ”
The second lady leaned back lazily, looking at her coldly in the posture of a noblewoman, just looking at her like this but not speaking.
Mama Du only felt that her back was wet, the more silent the second lady was, the more scared she became, and finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, and said tremblingly, "What the second lady said about the blood bird's nest?"
