"Madam, the lord is here!" As soon as the girl passed the word, Yao Chongming came in, originally he had promised the Zhu family yesterday to accompany her to dinner today, but Yucca pestered him all the way and pulled him to Xiya Courtyard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Why is the master here today? The concubine just has something to say to the master! Xiao Miao instructed the girl to wash Yao Chongming's hands and change his clothes, and spoke softly.

"Oh? What's the matter? Yao Chongming took the handkerchief in the girl's hand, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, threw down the towel, sat on the kang and lifted his feet, and asked the girl to take off his boots for him.

Xiao Miao saw that the food had been put on the table outside, and said, "The master just came in from outside, and it is cold, so let's drink some hot soup first!" ”

Yao Chongming was also a little hungry, thinking that he would eat here today, and then go to the front to rest, so he sat at the table with Xiao Miao holding his hand.

"This angelica wolfberry stewed mutton can make up for fatigue, benefit qi and blood, warm up, the best to eat in winter, the concubine ordered people to stew early, it has already tasted, master and taste!" As he spoke, Xiao Miao scooped a spoonful of mutton soup for Yao Chongming.

Yao Chongming saw that the soup was slightly milky, thinking that it had been stewed for some hours, and when he tasted it, the taste was mild, and the meat aroma had a faint medicinal aroma, but there was no smell of mutton, and he couldn't help but praise: "The cooking skills of the kitchen are getting better and better, this soup is much better than in previous years, and it should be rewarded!" ”

Cui Zhen laughed from the side, "Master's words are wrong, this soup was stewed by Mrs. herself, and the kitchen just helped to start!" ”

Yao Chongming looked at Xiao Miao's shy, Xiao Miao's wore a light green dress today, which looked particularly hazy under the light, adding a bit of beauty, and the two of them had not been intimate for a long time, Yao Chongming's heart rippled, "Hard madam, how can my husband live up to my husband's heart?" As he spoke, he drank all the soup in the bowl, and was adding another bowl.

Xiao Miao hurriedly pressed his hand, "Although this soup is good, you can't drink too much, so let's eat something else!" As he spoke, he sandwiched another piece of fish meat to Yao Chongming.

Xiao Miao deliberately flattered, Yao Chongming intended to please, and the two finished the meal happily. Seeing that Yao Chongming had eaten and drunk enough, and was very proud of being coaxed by himself, he sent his subordinates away and talked to Yao Chongming about business, "Do you remember our aunt and grandmother?" ”

Yao Chongming said: "Naturally, I remember, my sister-in-law, how could I not remember?" ”

Xiao Miao asked, "Then do you remember how long it has been since my aunt and grandmother returned to her parents' house?" ”

Yao Chongming was stunned, since his mother and wife refused to marry the Dai family, the relationship between the two families was broken, and it was difficult to even take himself in the yamen, "Hey~~ If it weren't for the fact that what you said made some sense, I would have agreed to the family affair at the beginning, the man is mediocre, and it is not a big deal, with the care of his father, brother, wife and uncle, he can also have a good future in the future." It's just that you are reluctant to Sister Rou, and I am also annoyed by Dai Shangshu! ”

Xiao Miao said apologetically: "It's all concubines, isn't it, the bad master can't show his ambitions, it's just that the concubine is really reluctant to Sister Rou." Moreover, although our Yao family now has a title, our family is not the first one in those princes' families, and the concubine body is not for the Yao family, for the sake of the master, so that Sister Rou'er can get better relatives, so that all families dare not underestimate us, and the master's career will be smoother! ”

Although Yao Chongming felt that what Xiao Miao said was reasonable, and he agreed with it in his heart, he made it clear that he was a person who could only be promoted by relying on nepotism by his in-laws, which made him a little impatient, "Where am I the kind of person who exchanges his children's affairs for his future!" ”

Xiao Miao smiled and said: "Of course the master is not that kind of person, it's just for the Yao family, he has to do this, besides, this is also a good family for Sister Rou." ”

Yao Chongming nodded, "What did you suddenly say about your sister?" But did she bring up that family business again? If it really doesn't work, just just allow one, there are so many daughters in the family, is it possible that she can't find one that she is satisfied with? ”

Xiao Miao didn't expect Yao Chongming to be so indifferent to the daughters' family affairs, and secretly rejoiced that he had told him about Sister Rou's family affairs earlier, otherwise, I don't know when he would have promised Sister Rou'er to others, and now it seems that this matter is better than he thought, so he said: "My aunt and grandmother have never come back, but the old lady thinks about her daughter and wants to resume contact with the Dai family, thinking that our two families were estranged because of their children's relatives, and now we should use our children's relatives to restore the relationship between the two families." In addition to Sister Rou and Sister Qing, the rest are all concubines, Brother Xi is a concubine, we can't allow a concubine, Sister Rou can't either, there is only Sister Qing, the mother means to give Sister Qing to Brother Xi! ”

Yao Chongming is really unfamiliar with the sisters and brothers in the long room, except for asking An to meet them when the family eats together on the fifteenth day of the first day of each month, where can he see their sisters and brothers on weekdays, even the youngest Yao Qibin He can still say a few words every once in a while, and when he sees Yao Keqing's sisters and brothers, he doesn't have a word of superfluity, if he can use these two children who are not close to him in exchange for benefits, he is very happy. After a while, he thought about it: "Sister Qing's temperament, I'm afraid my sister doesn't like it, right?" ”

Xiao Miao persuaded: "Although Sister Qing'er is a little colder, she is generous, and the rules of the family are a little cumbersome, I don't think I can count this, besides, Sister Qing is still young, and she can be trained slowly!" ”

Yao Chongming felt that what Xiao Miao said was also right, "Since my mother has agreed, I won't say anything more, and when my sister comes back in the first month, let's discuss this matter carefully!" ”

Xiao Miao hesitated: "What the master said is that my mother thinks so too!" It's just that there is one more thing, the concubine feels that she still has to talk to the master! ”

Yao Chongming asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Xiao Miao gritted his teeth and said: "It's about the sister-in-law...... "Xiao Miao is still a little uncomfortable with their two daughters-in-law, and they always feel awkward to say it.

Yao Chongming saw Xiao Miao's gritting teeth, and laughed: "What? Are you jealous? ”

Xiao Miao's face flushed, and said: "Is the concubine a jealous person, now the people around the master are all arranged by the concubine, and the master can see that the concubine is half unwilling?" ”

Yao Chongming took Xiao Miao's and said, "I know you are a virtuous person, say it!" What happened to the Zhu family? ”

Xiao Miao half leaned in Yao Chongming's arms, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law now has contacts with some families in Beijing, I see that those families have unmarried children and nephews, I am afraid that sister-in-law is showing Sister Qing'er others, Sister Qing is not sister-in-law after all, Sister Qing is not close to anyone, sister-in-law is afraid that it is to be close to Sister Qing, so she wants to choose someone for Sister Qing." It's just that since my mother has already planned to give Sister Qing to Brother Xi, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be busy in vain! ”

Xiao Miao's half-truths and half-truths were said, Yao Chongming frowned, since he had made up his mind to agree with this family business, where could he allow others to stop him, "What is she anxious about?" I'm Sister Qing's father, and she just asked me what I mean to propose marriage to Sister Qing'er? Besides, even if you don't ask me, you should ask your mother what she means! "Yao Chongming is a person who has no great skills, but is very conceited, so he naturally can't allow his status as the master to be ignored.

Xiao Miao saw that Yao Chongming was annoyed by Zhu, and smiled slightly, "Look at what the master said, how can the sister-in-law not put the master in her eyes, the sister-in-law is just still watching, and when she picks the right one, she naturally wants to tell the master!" Xiao Miao first said that Zhu's normal communication was hidden from the Yao family to look at Yao Keqing's face, and now it has risen directly to the point that the Zhu family does not take Yao Chongming in his eyes, but this is said very cleverly, and no one can find fault with it.

Yao Chongming waved his hand and said, "Whether she picks the right one or not, Sister Qing's family affairs are decided by her mother!" She won't have to meddle! ”

Xiao Miao saw Yao Chongming say in the direction he led, so he made persistent efforts, "It's just that the sister-in-law is Sister Qing's mother after all, and it is really unruly to let the sister-in-law ask about this matter!" spread it out, and I want to say that our family looks down on her as a steproom, and she doesn't even let her decide the affairs of her stepchildren! Xiao Miao secretly changed the concept again, and said that the question was in charge.

Yao Chongming is from the stepfamily, and he is always pressed by the original concubine, and he is especially taboo about this, and said angrily: "Who dares to spread it? They are all slaves of my Yao family, eating the rice and grain of my Yao family, and they dare to eat inside and out? ”

Xiao Miao hurriedly smiled and said: "The concubine is just talking about what happens, let's not tell others about this, naturally we are not afraid of what others say, but the sister-in-law is there...... Do you want to tell me? ”

Yao Chongming said unhappily: "No need! Don't ask her about this, when the family matter is decided, tell her, and let her preside over the insertion! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Miao was satisfied, took a cup of tea and handed it to Yao Chongming, "Master, drink tea to dissipate your anger!" ”

Yao Chongming talked for a long time, and also felt thirsty, took Xiao Miao's tea and drank it, and saw that Xiao Miao was gently beating his legs, so he put the teacup on the table, leaned on the pillow, and enjoyed Xiao Miao's gentle service.

When it was time to go to bed, Yao Chongming originally planned to go to Zhu's courtyard, but now that he was provoked by Xiao Miao's family, he had already stopped thinking about it, so he asked her to wait for her to bathe and rest here at Xiao Miao's place.

Xiao Miao was proud in his heart, but he still didn't let him rest in his room, "Sister-in-law is afraid that she has been waiting for the master all night, so the master should go to the sister-in-law's yard to rest!" ”

Yao Chongming pinched Xiao Miao's chin and laughed, "Are you angry?" The master is with you today, are you still not happy? ”

Xiao Miao knocked off Yao Chongming's hand, and said angrily: "The concubine body is serious, just after a while, my sister-in-law has already sent someone to the gate of my courtyard three or four times, I think that my sister-in-law has something to find the master, the master should hurry up!" ”

Yao Chongming is also very fond of the Zhu family on weekdays, but just now she was a little annoyed that she made her own opinion, and now that she has woken up, she also feels that it is not good to snub her too much, so Xiao Miao sent someone to send him to the front.

Cui Yao was a little puzzled when she saw Yao Chongming leaving, "Madam, the master is obviously going to rest here with you, why did you push people out?" ”

Xiao Miao sneered, "If I push people out, I can still get a virtuous name; If he leaves someone behind, he doesn't know how much he will have to pay that person when he turns back, and these accounts will be counted on my head! ”
