Chapter 40 Stewardship
Brother Xing and Nannan still continued to live in Changkang Hospital, and Li Yuanfang did not mention the matter of bringing back the two siblings, as if the events of that day had never happened. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhen Wanyi found that this new sister-in-law paid more attention to her, and she also liked to ask her opinion when she talked on weekdays, which made her feel very unaccustomed.
She is not the kind of person who can get acquainted with people for no reason, thinking about how much psychological construction she did with the people in the fourth room at the beginning, and it took a long time to get in touch before she slowly became intimate. And this new sister-in-law, who only nodded and made friends when she met, suddenly shushed her and asked her warmly, she really felt uncomfortable being targeted by something, so she could only use the excuse that she was not good at words, and she smiled if she could not answer, and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Fortunately, the autumn wind swept the leaves, and the busiest time of the year is coming, Zhen Mingjie still wrote a letter to his home during the Spring Festival of the fourteenth year of Kandi, although he did not come back, but the specific return date has been mentioned in the letter, and he will rush back after the beginning of spring, and he is expected to arrive home at the end of March.
This year, the area south of the Qinghe River ushered in a festive harvest of Jirui year, the former prince even fought the Qinghe River, occupied the most important Jiangling City in the middle and upper reaches of the Qinghe River, only 700 kilometers away from the capital, if it goes smoothly, I am afraid that it will be able to besiege the capital in less than two months.
Hearing this news, the fourth wife was happy and anxious, happy because the township test will definitely be held next year, and it is very likely that there will be another jinshi in Zhenfu. The anxiety is for the mother's family in the capital, the Yu family has been from the capital for generations, and now the chaos in the capital has appeared, and I don't know if the mother's brother has made preparations. It's really difficult to get in touch with the capital now.
As if she wanted to prove that she had not chosen the wrong daughter-in-law, the eldest lady took her grandmother to personally guide her on some matters during the New Year, which was a treatment that Wei Niang had never had before. And this grandmother is also worthy of enjoying a good reputation in her mother's family, the people of the Zhen Mansion are in contact, and the housewives and slaves can be described as Haoyue Xiaoxing compared to the Li family, and they are not on the same level. But she can keep up with the pace of the eldest lady and properly settle the things that the eldest lady has explained.
At the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, the fourth wife was dressed in a big red makeup satin right brocade coat, embroidered with yellow peony patterns, with a red and purple horse-faced skirt, and a large yellow peony embroidered on the red knee, swaying while walking. The festive color makes the ruddy face more like the peony flower, and the plump figure is comparable to a ripe peach, so that after the fourth master enters the house, his eyes look at her from time to time.
The second wife pursed her lips and smiled, "The clothes of the fourth brother and sister are very strange and beautiful, but the style that is popular in the capital?
The fourth wife is very happy today, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are smiling, and she is also happy to show off, "How can you still get in touch with the capital here, didn't you see that my brother and sister-in-law didn't send New Year's gifts this year? "That look is as proud as you want to be.
When everyone in the room heard this, their eyes immediately turned to look at Zhen Wanyi, and the second wife was even more exaggerated, and hurriedly took her hand and smiled: "Oops, oops, it turned out to be made by the ninth sister of my family, my good son, how do you have such a heart, how can this hand be so coincidental, how did you come up with such clothes?"
Zhen Wanyi twitched her hand in embarrassment, "Second aunt, my niece didn't do anything, Aunt Fu helped do it." ”
The second wife's smile was immediately put away, and it faded a little, "It turned out that Aunt Fu made it, I'll just say, Wan'er is making clothes for the first time." This Aunt Fu's craftsmanship is really unusual, Eighth Sister, you have to use some heart to ask Aunt Fu for more advice, you see, you are one year older than Ninth Sister, Ninth Sister has learned to make clothes, when will Aunt Fu teach you?"
The fourth lady opened her mouth to speak, but Zhen Wanyi hurriedly pulled it and stood aside with a smile without speaking.
Zhen Wenyi glanced at Zhen Wanyi helplessly, and had to say: "It is estimated that it won't be long, my daughter has been practicing calligraphy recently, so I'm not in a hurry to be a female celebrity." ”
Zhen Wanyi tilted her head slightly, looked at Zhen Wenyi, and was a little puzzled, usually she was not very interested in practicing calligraphy, but she was more enthusiastic about female celebrities, but now it is the other way around.
The second wife was also a little puzzled, and said angrily: "The most important thing for the daughter's family is to have a good female red, what is the use of practicing the words of that Laoshizi, eighth sister, you will give me a good female red in the future, do you know?"
Zhen Wenyi's mouth pursed, very disdainful, and said perfunctorily: "Knowing my mother, I know it in my heart." ”
Before the second lady could say more, the old lady interrupted, "This Aunt Fu's skills are really good, you have the fate to learn from them, do you have to know by heart?"
The three daughters replied yes in unison, and Zhen Wanyi also breathed a sigh of relief, she originally wanted to please her mother, so she did it with special care, and she did it for two months, and even the fourth wife's birthday was replaced by other gifts. Although it took a long time, the effect made her very satisfied, worthy of the traditional Chinese costumes, eye-catching and first-class.
When the old man is old, he hopes that his children and grandchildren will be full, accompanied by laughter and laughter, and the people of Zhenfu are also prosperous, only the second room will come out to pay New Year's greetings and kneel on the ground, four sons, three daughters-in-law, one daughter and two grandchildren are really a spectacular, but the other two rooms can be squeezed into the edge of the stand.
Finally, the noise faded away, Zhen's mansion returned to its former Qingning, and Zhen Wanyi also returned to normal practice.
But something big and small happened in the Zhen Mansion, that is, the eldest lady handed over the kitchen to the eldest grandmother, the reason is that the eldest grandmother is extremely capable, and she should take over the management of the affairs of the mansion as soon as possible. For the eldest lady's decision, the old lady thought about it for a night and agreed, the old lady nodded, so naturally there was no room for others to speak, so the degree to which the eldest grandmother was valued and was scrambled by the whole house reached an unprecedented level, and Yu Fanglou was even more lively than ever.
The housekeeper in the kitchen has a jar of pickles today, a plate of snacks tomorrow, and a cup of soup to Yufang Lou the day after tomorrow.
The results of the tasting are unknown, but the kitchen has been safe and sound for a month, and the rules have not changed much, and the small change is that the small kitchens in each room are more difficult to pick up things from the big kitchen.
For example, Zhen Wanyi likes to use some snacks every morning and afternoon, so the small kitchen of Yunyi Building will often go to the big kitchen to get some powdered sugar and flour and the like.
Zhen Wanyi nodded in understanding when she heard this, and asked Yingyue to take the silver money to the cherries and go out to buy powdered sugar.
