The mother and daughter entered the Zhong family's main house.

Zhenyuan was also born in this Song Mansion back then, but when she was a monk in the branch, she was only one year old, and she had no memory of this place for a long time. There was no influence on her grandmother, and in her mind, although her grandmother was strict, she must also be an old lady with a good appearance, and when she saw her this time, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Old Mrs. Song Zhong looked at it from a distance, and when she looked closer, she saw a circle of black whiskers on her lips, which was no different from an elderly man, and her voice was hoarse and thick, and she was no different from a man.

And the girl standing beside her was dressed very richly, with three small gold locks on the collar alone, and a hairpin ornament on her head that was yellow and clear and turquoise. Presumably she is the second lady Zhenyu from the big house, and her face is very similar to a man. A woman's face is naturally good-looking with some heroism, but Zhenyu is not, she also has a dark circle of fluff between her lips, thick eyebrows and a thick nose, and she is not a pleasing man at all. The hairpin ring pearl jade on this end does polish her a lot, so that she doesn't look so rough.

stopped at a glance, just as Zhenyuan Zhenshu Zhenxiu looked Zhong and Zhenyu up and down, and secretly made a conclusion in their stomachs, Zhong and Zhenyu also looked at their mother and daughter mercilessly.

Zhenyu was wearing a red embroidered gold silk phoenix tail skirt, a peony-colored short jacket on it, and the shoulders were covered with colorful brocade clouds, and then with this golden and green jade jade, she envied Zhenyi, who loved to dress up the most, she looked at Zhenyu in a daze, saliva stained with red rouge flowed into a long silk from the corner of her mouth and still didn't know it.

Zhong also ignored Su's salute and drank slowly there with a cup of milk.

When she gave birth to Concubine Rong, she broke the palace room, dragged Yan zhòng and damaged the woman's mound nest, and over the years, she looked more and more like a man, and her voice became more and more hoarse. She was afraid that when she died, she really became a castrated man, and went to the underworld to see Song Shihong and was disgusted by him, and she had been looking for a cure for this disease, a few years ago I heard a Lang Zhong saying that drinking milk can help her alleviate the appearance of a man, so she had to drink a glass of milk every morning over the years, and the smell of pure milk was too big and not good for the mouth, so Shen asked the kitchen to chop the fine ginger velvet in it for her to cover the smell of milk.

Rao is like this, adding ginger to the milk does not smell good, and when Zhong eats milk, he is always in a bad mood, so he is even more lazy to deal with these poor relatives.

Su Shi stepped forward to salute again, and took a large box with a length and width from Zhenshu's hand and handed it to Miao's mother behind Zhong and said: "This is a special mountain ginseng from Hui County, let's make soup and tea for my mother." ”

Zhong lifted her eyelids, and saw that this box was really much bigger and more magnificent than the one given to Shen last night, and she said in her heart that she still knew that the school was light and heavy, so she nodded and lifted it.

Several girls stepped forward one by one to salute, Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhenyi, who had been for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and said to Zhenyu: "This child looks really festive." ”

Zhenyu covered her mouth and smiled, rubbed Zhong's shoulder and said, "She was too young and ignorant. ”

She looked at Zhen Yi coldly, and said secretly, this little girl is a little girl, and she is more coquettish year by year, look at her tender pink jacket with a silver and red clip, and wear a green six-panel skirt, the skirt is decorated with tassels that I don't know if she made it herself or Su Shi handled it for her, her face is painted pink and white, and she is still sweeping some blue powder on her eyes, and I don't know where I learned it.

Su Shi got up early to pick up a few daughters in the dark, and the only thing she focused on was Zhen Yuan, not only did Zhong Shi not even raise her eyelids, but Zhen Yi asked her to look at her differently, so she was happy to come up and say a few festive words, and suddenly looked back and saw Zhen Yi's appearance, and she only hated that there was no crack on the ground to tell her to get in.

It turned out that they had just gotten up, and when they were wearing makeup, they were looking at the bronze mirror with the lamp, Zhenxiu and Zhenyi in order to be in the limelight, they ruthlessly sprayed powder and rouge on their faces, and their faces were white as if they had been upside down from the noodle box, and their lips were covered with thick red fat, and then there were two clusters of red on their cheeks, which were a few more vivid than the colors that were painted that year.

Moreover, Zhen Yi was originally young and cute, and the colors of the clothes she wore were very bright, and now with such makeup, she is really a little older than Zhen Yuan, just like a short, thin and mature young woman. And Zhenxiu is already fat and white and tender, and then she wears such a white face and red lips, which is even fatter than the newly baked big steamed bun, and she deliberately wears a very narrow skirt in order to make herself slim, and the jacket is too tight, and the flesh between the abdomen is round and round, which makes people unbearable to look at it more.

Zhong looked at Su's pale face, and sneered twice: "These two little girls, didn't they come here this morning after eating a new raw chicken in the kitchen?" ”

These words lined her two blood-red lips again, which was very appropriate.

Zhenyu could still hold back, covering her face and smiling. Zhong was also amused by his joke, and hummed and laughed a few times before he raised his eyebrows and said to the girl next to him: "Why don't you take a veil to wipe the two girls?" ”

Yahuan hurriedly took wet handkerchiefs and personally waited for them to wipe off the fat powder on their faces before retreating.

Zhong looked Zhen Yuan up and down, nodded and said, "The eldest girl is getting better and better now." ”

Zhenyu bent down and said, "There is some style of Concubine Rong." ”

Zhong still had a smile on his face, but when he heard this, the smile disappeared, and he coldly swept Zhen Yuan's eyes up and down before saying, "I hope." ”

She was born to a concubine, how can she compare with the concubine Rong I gave birth to.

Zhong thought like this in his heart, the more he looked at Zhenyuan and Concubine Rong, the more similar they became, and suddenly remembered that Concubine Rong was more of Xiao's father Song Shihong, and Zhenyuan's father Song Anrong was not born to Song Shihong? Thinking of this, the little good impression that Fang had for Zhenyuan disappeared in an instant.

She pulled Zhenyu's arm over, and Zhenyu helped her up. Zhong glanced around again and said coldly: "Let's eat." ”

The unmarried girls are delicate guests, so they can naturally dine at the same table with their grandmothers. As a daughter-in-law, Su is far away from home all year round, and this is the opportunity for her to show filial piety.

Zhenyu pestered Zhong in front, Su led several girls behind, and a group of mermaids rushed into the restaurant. Because Zhong likes to be cool, although it is only in April, the sky is still slightly cool. The girls have opened the doors and windows around them, and the whole restaurant is bright. After Zhong sat down, the girls dared to walk to the front of their seats. Seeing Zhenyu sitting under Zhong's head, Zhenxiu moved her ass and squeezed Zhenyuan away, so she leaned in and sat next to Zhenyu.

She leaned her hands close to Zhenyu, and there was a hint of flattery in her lowered voice: "Second sister, you are so beautiful, I am reluctant to leave when I look at you." ”

Zhenyu snorted coldly in her nose, and her body moved slightly away from her and said, "Hmm! ”

"Eat silently, sleep silently!" Mother Lu, who was standing beside the Zhong family behind her, suddenly spoke and said loudly: "Fourth girl, can you remember?" ”

Zhenxiu got up and bowed her head and said, "Remember." ”

While speaking, a group of maiden mothers walked in with plates in their hands, and Shen walked in the front. She was wearing a concubine-colored palace brocade robe today, with a moonflower skirt under it, and a bright jade on her forehead flashed on her head, which made the Su family envious and jealous. She saluted at the door first, and then stepped forward, smiling and putting the chopsticks on the chopstick rest for Zhong's first. Zhong's usual dining has a pair of old chopsticks of ironwood, which are longer and thicker than the chopsticks of others.

Then she laid chopsticks for several girls in turn, and Zhenshu and Zhenyuan both stood up to thank them. Zhenxiu and Zhenyi only cared about admiring Zhenyu's gorgeous costumes and ornaments, and did not care about the Shen family.

After finishing the cloth, Shen walked to Zhong's side, looked up and saw Su looking at her with a smile, knowing that today Su wanted to stand behind Zhong to show filial piety. She pursed her lips and smiled, turning to serve breakfast. For breakfast, there were several kinds of porridge, all of which were boiled in a casserole, and the maids were placed on the furniture cabinet at the bottom, and there were two kinds of soup baked with medicinal herbs, which were exclusively for Zhong's enjoyment. Then there are pastries and pasta, which Shen put on the table one by one, but in the six-inch small plate, there are only five or six pieces of each. The sweet ones are like Gao sugar, Langya crisp and mille-feuille crisp, the salty ones are Jinhua crisp, scallion pancakes and sesame oil rolls, and there are a few kinds of fresh green vegetables and sauce-flavored pickles.

Su Shi bent down and asked Zhong, "What kind of soup does Mother want to use today?" ”

Zhong didn't look at Su Shi, looked straight ahead and asked, "What kind of soup did you boil today?" ”

Su Shi has never been to the kitchen in the morning, so what kind of soup does he know to boil?

She turned to look at the Shen family, who was far away at this time, and also looked at her with a slight smile.

This kind of cold field was very terrifying, and Su Shi's anxious head was about to burst into beads of sweat, only to see Shen Shi take two steps forward, Ying Ying bowed and said: "Back to the ancestors, today I prepared mountain ginseng wolfberry black chicken soup and red dates and codonopsis pork belly soup." ”

Su secretly greeted Shen's parents in his heart, but he also thanked her for this belated round. Moreover, it turns out that now the Song Mansion calls the Zhong family the ancestors, which is a new name, but not her, a few girls must also remember it, and everyone will call the Zhong family their ancestors from tomorrow.

Zhong nodded and said, "Then let's make pork belly soup, this one is more greasy." ”

A small bowl was already opened by Yahuan, Su bent over to take it, sent it to Zhong's to put it, and picked up a piece of Rugao candy for Zhong's and sent it over on a plate. Zhong stirred the spoon and drank the soup, then lifted the chopsticks, looked in front of him, looked up at Shen and said: "This pork belly soup is already a little sour, but it is refreshing, so I am told to eat sweet and greasy things, is it because I have lived too long and I am tired of it?" ”

At this time, Shen suddenly passed through the layers of maids-in-law, and even with her Yuehua skirt hula scattered, it was the Yuehua in this restaurant, she brought the scallion pancake plate to Zhong's face, and squeezed Su's eyes, Su hurriedly picked a piece and handed it to Zhong's plate, and sneered: "The concubine hasn't come back for nearly a year, and she has forgotten the taste of her ancestors, it's really damned." ”

Zhong sneered: "You are happy to be a rich man all year round, what is etiquette and filial piety, I am afraid that I will forget to go to the temple without grandma, what is the importance of my taste." ”

In front of the mother-in-law and Ziyahuan, Su asked her to say that her dough was hot and embarrassing. She said in her heart: If you didn't think that the concubines were in the way and sent us to that poor country, I would have been willing to serve you like this every day in the capital.

It was easy to wait for Zhong to finish breakfast, Su handed her a warm and moist handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and the girls began to eat. Zhenxiu used a bowl of raw porridge and a bowl of fish fillet porridge, because there were several mothers in the back, and whoever finished eating it would naturally add it to whom. Zhenxiu used up most of the desserts on the table and was still not satisfied, looking left and right to see Zhenyuan Zhenshu eating several Swen, Zhenyu didn't need to eat, only used a spoon to draw a bowl of porridge, looking at them coldly. She hurriedly threw a affectionate smile, Zhenyu glanced at her lightly, and looked away.

Zhenshu was upright with a bowl of fish fillet porridge, she didn't like the smell of fishy food, she was swallowing hard, and suddenly someone pinched her thigh, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Zhenxiu was constantly giving herself a look. She followed Zhenxiu's eyes and saw that there was still a piece of Jinhua cake left, and she knew that Zhenxiu was going to ask herself to pick it up for her to eat. If it was in their own home, it wouldn't be a big deal, but now the two mothers of the Zhong family are watching from behind, and the Shen family and Zhenyu are also staring at them, how can they still do this kind of thing.

Zhenshu ignored the pain, ran out of porridge in his mouth, took the silk handkerchief sent by Yahuan and wiped his mouth, got up and said, "Ancestor, my granddaughter is used up." ”

Zhong Shi smiled slightly when he heard this, stretched out his hand and beckoned Zhenshu over and said, "Eating should be like this, fast and good." You can accompany me to the outer world. ”

Zhenshu helped her up and walked outside together. Su Shi hurriedly followed out and brought a cup of tea to salute, Zhong took it, and Su Shi hurriedly stood behind Zhong.

The mother-in-law sat in front, and the daughter-in-law stood behind her with her hands tied up, which was to establish the rules, when the house was not divided, the Su family and the Lu family of the third room were two left and one right, as long as they were idle, they had to stand behind the Zhong family and set up rules, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short practiced the frame of eighteen bronze people. Later, the branch went out, and it was only the last birthday after all these years, and the Su family had not set rules in front of the Zhong family for many years.

Now she begged to come to the door for the marriage of several daughters, and the Zhong family also allowed her to come to Beijing a month early, that is, she was willing to find her in-laws for a few concubines, so the Su family had to rush to pay filial piety and leave a good influence in front of the Zhong family.
