As soon as she got home, Mrs. Yuan ordered to prepare tea and rice, not because of the common sense that the big banquet was not full and the small banquet was not good, but because she didn't eat a bite at all. Originally, she only picked a willow leaf dumpling to make a look on the plate, and the other people's dishes were only verbally thanked, and the rest of the time she was snorting melon seeds, or taking a small sip of a piece of almond jujube heart dumplings, or letting the wine add tea, or tasting a small play, perfunctory dripping without leakage. Shuheng is a child, no need to pretend, she said that she has eaten snacks early and is full, and no one will be too careful.

Because there was still an hour before it was time for dinner, the kitchen first delivered a snack containing a heart-warming plum red lacquer food box. The little girl uncovered the four-layer small compartment one by one for Mrs. Yuan to see. The pine cream roll is sweet and greasy, it will be difficult to eat at this time, Mrs. Yuan moved it away from the front of Shuheng, and the jade dew was crispy? It was too dry, and on the fire, Mrs. Yuan moved it away again. Minced meat is spiced and silky? It's good, but it's a pity that it's cold, and the spicy sauce is heavy and the child's stomach can't stand it. Shuheng didn't dare to fight with his mother in eating, so he could only watch the delicacies float past him.

"Madame, Madame, is ready." Shuheng's mother Li opened the curtain and came in and replied, "I've been preparing for the big girl, snowflake eggs, and I've been using hot water to keep it." "This snowflake egg is a bit famous. Cook the egg whites and warm lard over a simmer, stirring constantly to make it taste good, and cook it to the appearance of white tofu brains. A layer of minced ham is sprinkled on top, which will not confuse the egg flavor, but also make the taste rich, and more importantly, it is easy for children to eat and nutritious. As soon as she lifted the lid, the aroma hit her face. Mrs. Yuan took a look, it was really white and crystalline, seductively coveted, and said with a smile: "Mom is really sophisticated, everything is in order, I was worried that I didn't give an explanation to the small kitchen today, and I couldn't prepare." ”

There are few people in the Guogong Mansion, and there is no in-laws to serve, and the concubines are in chaos, and Mrs. Yuan's life is very leisurely, so Shuheng's daily recipe menu is drawn up by her with reference to the opinions of the old people. What's more, with the successful example of her grandfather, Mrs. Yuan has always believed that she is very good at raising people.

She listened to Li's mother's thoughtfulness, and immediately presented a plate of ham puff pastry and a plate of poria powder steamed cake to Li's mother. I used a bowl of blue stem rice and red bean porridge, picked a few three fresh wontons and lotus pond mandarin duck roasted wheat to eat, and asked the little girl to save the rest of the whole plate and take it to supper. In addition, he instructed Ju Xiang to take a bottle of wood rhinoceros dew, a package of good notoginseng powder, and a set of clotting cream, thought about it, and added a wishful purse, packed it into a gift box, and asked people to send it to the old fourth room, and give it to the moon girl by name.

Shu Heng was holding a small bowl of eggs to eat, and when she pricked up her ears to listen, she realized that Mrs. Yuan not only helped her give her a thank you gift, but also loosened her heart. Shuheng finished the custard in three or two and rubbed it in front of Mrs. Yuan: "My mother really wants to accept Sister Yue as a goddaughter?" Mrs. Yuan wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief: "Why do you think so?" Shuheng said: "My mother is good and has added a wishful purse, wishful thinking, isn't it as she wants?" ”

Mrs. Yuan sneered and pinched her little ball: "You are clever." But he didn't tell her the rest. It wasn't until the grandfather returned home in the evening that Shuheng knew the beginning and the end. After all, this body is young, he got up early in the morning, and he didn't sleep at noon, and his head was heavy in the evening. Mrs. Yuan was worried that she would be hungry at night, so she didn't let her sleep in the east warm room, but put it directly into the rosewood cupboard behind the sprinkling of flowers and greens, and let the honey accompany her. Honey is the most favored one among Shuheng's maids, just because Shuheng likes her straightforwardness and naturalness, but Mrs. Yuan is not at ease, and lets the red sleeves put a couch there to accompany her.

In fact, when Red Sleeves learned what happened in the hall, he was very frightened. What if the bamboo skewer pokes in the eye? Normally, she should lead the way in front and go ahead and open the curtains. Although it was the young lady who asked her to deliver the bird cage, she was ordered by Mrs. Yuan to take care of it after all. Besides, why are you stupid, just cut off a mother-in-law and send things there, you have to run by yourself? Red Sleeves regretted it, if something really happened to Miss today, her life would not be enough to compensate. She trembled and frightened for a day, but Mrs. Yuan didn't say a word, until in the evening Mrs. Yuan asked her to look at Miss again, and she still couldn't believe her ears.

In fact, she didn't know that Mrs. Yuan had also gone through some entanglements in her heart. Although it is a false alarm today, it is also scary, if it touches the eyes, where will you cry? The third aunt's grandmother's Liangwei was closer to the candlestick when he was a child, and the maid was lazy and did not cut the lamp in time, but the candle burst out, and it happened to splash into the eyes.

Mrs. Yuan wants to dispose of the red sleeves, but the purpose is still to alert Shuheng! This girl is smart and has nothing to say, but sometimes it is very unreassuring. For example, since she can walk, she will do everything possible to get rid of the maid around her, someone is looking around, she just sits there motionless, as if she has lost her soul, her eyes are empty, the puppet clay sculpture is general, no one looks at it, but she is jumping and jumping and pinching flowers, fluttering butterflies and fishing shrimp and playing by herself. Mrs. Yuan couldn't bear to detain her daughter and didn't worry about her alone, so the big and small maids followed behind the eldest lady like thieves, and it became a wonder in the Dingguo Mansion. Redsleeves are light-handed, loyal, and reliable, but they often come to do this kind of work. If you punish her today, you should set an example for her, and let Shuheng know that if you want to be happy and smart, you will be affected. Whipping the followers to warn the master, this method has been used since ancient times and has been tried and tested repeatedly.

But Mrs. Yuan looked at her daughter's sleeping face soundly and peacefully, and thought about her appearance in the old fourth room today, and finally dispelled this idea. In the end, what if you are young, what if you leave a psychological shadow? Besides, her memory is good, her brain is smart, and if her daughter is not happy from now on, it is not what she wants to see. After thinking about it, he sighed, and finally gave up the idea of killing chickens and monkeys. Red sleeves are still in her name, but she is often assigned to Shuheng, she is a decent big girl, and no one can guarantee that there will be a little mistake after doing things for so long, just mention a little. Therefore, in the past, it was a matter of one eye, and today I will say one more sentence of "Be careful." "Red Sleeves is a smart and well-behaved person, and those three words are enough.

In fact, Mrs. Yuan, who has always been shrewd, would not have thought of the best way, in fact, one sings with a white face and the other sings with a 90 red face. She pretended to be extremely angry, and severely punished the red sleeves, Shuheng's character is bound to intercede, she prevaricates and warns, and takes advantage of the situation to be gracious. In this way, the red sleeves will not only be more careful, but also remember the grace of the book balance, which can be described as both. Regardless of it, this idea was cut off by Mrs. Yuan as soon as it came to her head - she didn't want her daughter to think that she was a vicious wolf grandmother. It is said that they pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and Mrs. Yuan also used her brains for Shuheng.

But Shuheng didn't know these twists and turns in Mrs. Yuan's heart, and in her opinion, this matter was not worth mentioning, and there was no need to take it to heart. Therefore, when Mrs. Yuan ordered her mothers-in-law to thoroughly inspect the bamboo curtains and curtain lamp pendants in various doors and places in the house, she pillowed a double lotus concentric small medicine pillow and slept on the soft brocade light cotton hibiscus quilt. It wasn't until the sky was dim and the moon rabbit was rising, and the lights and shadows outside the red silk tent were building, that she woke up leisurely. Separated by a wooden board and two gauze tents, the soft voices of the Guogong couple can be heard clearly.

- The sister-in-law's son is not successful, she is bent on relying on her daughter to get ahead, she can't look down on her with a thin family background, and she can't afford to be a real wealthy family. Now in a hurry, Barbato comes to me. Although Mrs. Yuan herself was married at the age of eighteen, she herself felt that her good fortune was the first in heaven and earth. Others can't ask for it.

Yuan Guogong just entered the door and sat down, eating the maple dew tea that was just right in the brown color. Shuyue is the first granddaughter of his fourth uncle, his first niece in the fourth room, and he also went to congratulate the bride price to see the child, so he had some impressions of this girl, and said with a smile: "Although the girl has no far-reaching reputation, she has a good needlework and a good soup, and her temperament is very shy and docile. ”

"That's not true," Mrs. Yuan also smiled: "It's just that the idea of relying on her daughter to get rich is too big, and it's too straightforward, and big families don't look down on her style." Her father is just a member of the Hanlin Academy, and her brother is Ma Daha, and no one mentions how good a girl is. The four old ladies who continue to string don't care about the long room and the second room. "Mrs. Yuan is very disgusted with the people in the old fourth room, and she doesn't want to be called uncle and sister-in-law anymore when she mentions it.

"It's strange, their own family affairs come from family sorrows, and they do their own blessings and suffer themselves, so what do they have to do with us." Yuan Guogong had a keen nature and immediately realized that his wife was going to reach out. Although he was his uncle, some experiences in his early years made him look down on this so-called family lineage. Listening to Mrs. Yuan's voice, she had the intention to pull Shuyue, why did she just get angry and help? Grandpa Guo didn't believe that his wife had changed her temper. Her principle has always been that if you make it difficult for me to smile, I will make it difficult for you to eat. There are only two things that can make Mrs. short of breath, the same is a son and the same is a good name, and I want to know which one it is.

After a turn of thought, the grandfather smiled again: "I don't know what the sister-in-law has done, so that Mrs. can still help each other when she is unhappy." "What can she do to provoke something, it is Shuyue's girl who fights for herself, I see that she is kind and polite, and she is really pitiful, so I want to help her." Besides," Mrs. Yuan looked at the young Dingguo Gong, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes: "How many relatives does Grandpa have in this capital?" It's not bad for yourself to do something about what is worth pulling. ”

The Yuan family has a total of four rooms, and the second and third rooms have all torn their faces, although now the old third room is no longer tenable in the upper class, and the second room has been expelled from the capital, and can no longer become a threat, but after all, the clan fights are the relatives and the enemies are happy. For the Guogong Mansion, although it is to remove the carrion tumor, it will eventually hurt the vitality. The grandfather himself has no brothers to take care of, only one sister, but he is accompanied by the deep palace, and he is not allowed to meet, which can be described as a single figure. Although the old fourth room can't even keep the shelf, there are still a few outstanding ones in so many sub-rooms, and helping them is also helping themselves.

Therefore, population is the primary productive force. Mrs. Yuan looked down at her stomach, and a trace of gloom flashed between her eyebrows.

Yuan Guogong naturally figured out this reason, frowned for a long time, and sighed lowly: "The family is unfortunate." "His attitude towards the old fourth room has always been not far away, not close, not close, no offense, don't meddle in my family affairs, I don't care about your idle affairs, let's go through each other behind closed doors. Although some of their actions did not cause any trouble, they were inevitably condemnable. Therefore, Yuan Guogong was in the matter, and he was more ruthless to these so-called relatives than Mrs. Yuan, who married. "Which one does the sister-in-law want to talk about?"

"Grandpa, do you remember my cousin of the Ji family?" Yuan Guogong took a sip of tea slightly, as if to suppress the irritability in his heart, he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned: "Ji Liangwei? "Suddenly even more irritable! Without him, when Mrs. Yuan was in the boudoir, she almost became a daughter-in-law to this unsuccessful cousin.

"What the hell is going on with Ji Liangwei, he has taken a fancy to the people of our Yuan family several times." Grandpa Guo looked indignant.

This Yuan family naturally includes the five girls of the Wei family at the beginning, and the current Duchess of the Kingdom. Mrs. Yuan listened clearly and watched carefully, and she was busy and shy.
