Chapter 80: A Hot Pot Full of Memories (Part 4)
At this time, in the Guangping Marquis's Mansion, Liqing Courtyard and Qionghua Courtyard and Qiongyu Courtyard were all gloomy and miserable fog, Chen Shiqiang cheered up and went out of the house, Yao went back to the courtyard crying, either beating and scolding the girl, or reprimanding the mother-in-law, Mrs. Xue had a head stroke again, this time it was really heavy, and I invited Lang Zhong to see the doctor and get medicine. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info only Qiongbi Courtyard in the entire Hou Mansion is clear and quiet, as if he doesn't know what is going on.
Looking at the hazy sky outside the window, the thick felt curtain blown by the north wind was a little unstoppable, Shen Ruohua became interested, and asked Liu Er's family in the small kitchen to stew the hot pheasant cub soup, and send the soup to the room with a pot and a small stove, and prepared a piece of fresh mutton, venison sent from Zhuangzi, a pot of crisp and delicious lotus root and a plate of tender buds, and called Xia Mama, Qingmei, Yao Tao and a few mothers-in-law who came to marry to come to the room to sit together.
Shen Ruohua sat on the couch and set up a small desk, Mama Xia sat on the foot of the couch to make vegetables for her, Qingmei, Yao Tao and those mothers-in-law had never seen such a way to eat, and they all looked at it rarely, only to see that the pheasant and cub soup in the pot on the small stove had been boiled, and the hot aroma came to the face, and several people were salivating.
Shen Ruohua said with a smile: "Let people plug in the courtyard door today, and no one can see when the curtain is lowered, so you don't have to be restrained." ”
Mama Xia looked at the bubbling pot and smiled from ear to ear: "It's hard for the lady to think of it, we have never heard of such a delicate way of eating." ”
Shen Ruohua smiled and didn't speak, but there was a little melancholy in her heart. She was born in Liuzhou Mansion in the southwest since she was a child, where the folk custom is to use the stove to burn the copper pot, and in the winter Jingwang Mansion will often prepare a pot of hot soup, and the family sits around the fireplace, and the warmth is very satisfying. But in the blink of an eye, it has been so many years, and the Jingwang Mansion is long gone, and she is also a person who has died once, and then recalling these scenes is like a dream.
The mothers-in-law didn't know Shen Ruohua's melancholy, it was rare for them to have such blessings and leisure, and they all sat around the small stove with a smile and talked.
"Today, Mrs. Shizi went out of the house, and when she came back, she came back with several truckloads of rice and grain, and the maid saw that those handymen and servants had moved back and forth for a long time before they were sent to the front yard warehouse." A mother-in-law gossiped.
The other continued: "This is not a year of calamity and there has been no famine, what are you doing with all that amount of rice?" She sneered a little disdainfully, "It's not a boast, this Guangping Marquis Mansion is really not as good as our Governor's Mansion, in the past, there was not even a reward for the New Year's Festival, only that little monthly money, it was really picky." ”
When Shen Ruohua heard this, he glanced at Qingmei, Qingmei understood, and said with a smile: "But no, is this Hou Mansion still afraid of shortening the rice grain, why did he carry so much to the warehouse?" ”
The previous mother-in-law smiled and said: "I don't dare to hide it from the girl, the maid also asked the mother-in-law, they said that this is not the Hou Mansion, it is sent by the Xinguo Mansion, the British Mansion, the Yongchang Hou Mansion and the Anyang Bo Mansion. ”
Shen Ruohua remembered that that day in the Fuwang Mansion, Mrs. Xue and the Chen family sang and talked about the soup soup on the Laba Festival, and several ladies were moved to hear it, and they also promised to donate rice and silver to the soup kitchen, and now that the rice grain has been dragged back, the silver must have been sent to the Marquis of Guangping's mansion. Shen Ruohua smiled, but now that Old Madam Xue and the Chen family still have silver, can they use it to build a porridge shed for porridge? What's more, Mrs. Xue has always had a temperament like this, she has always been uneventful, so how could she think about going to soup porridge and doing good for no reason, it seems that she has already planned for a long time.
She smiled and said to Mama Xia: "We don't even know about such a good thing, you go and inquire more, if there is anything that can help, let someone help you." ”
Mama Xia saw the look in her handover and hurriedly responded: "I'll send someone to inquire in a while." ”
After the mothers-in-law cleaned up, got up and said goodbye and left, Shen Ruohua called Qingmei to him: "The third master is afraid that he will go to the south wing, you send someone to call Xue Xing over." Qingmei agreed and told the little girl to go.
But after a moment's effort, Xue Xing came over with his head down, he heard that the third lady asked him to call him over, and he didn't know what it was, and he couldn't fall to the ground in his heart, but he knew that he had done a lot of things with the third master, and everything was offended by the third lady, even if he didn't report it, it would make the third lady feel a grudge in her heart. I wanted to find a reason to excuse myself, but now my mother is in the hands of the third lady, and his mother has just been promoted to be a housekeeper in the inner courtyard, so she can't hide anyway, so she can only come hard.
Entering the flower hall, he bowed his head tremblingly, and bowed down in front of the screen: "The third lady is fine." ”
Shen Ruohua looked at him through the embroidered screen and said, "Get up, sit down and talk." ”
Where did Xue Xing dare to sit, standing and hooking his head: "The little one doesn't dare, Madame just commands." ”
Shen Ruohua didn't make it difficult for him, but said slowly: "I called you here to ask you something." She paused and sneered slightly: "What is going on with that Qi lady?" ”
When Xue Xing heard her talk about Qi Niangzi, his heart had already raised his throat, knowing that he must have failed to hide it from the third lady, and taught the third lady to know about the third master's private meeting with Qi Niangzi, he wanted to say that he didn't know, but he personally brought the person in, and since the third lady asked him, he must also know, and he couldn't deny it.
He knelt down, bowed his head, and said, "Yes...... It's a small offense, please punish Madame! "I didn't dare to say that the third master was not, so I had to admit it myself.
Shen Ruohua laughed: "It's not that you have a private meeting with Qi Niangzi, what's the use of you admitting it." She looked at Xue Xing and said, "Say, how can I punish you?" ”
Xue Xing was dumbfounded, and couldn't say why he came for a long time, and he didn't dare to say that he would not be punished, so he could only say: "Listen to Mrs. Fa Luo." ”
"You are a faithful one, and I will not be difficult for you." Shen Ruohua said lightly, "It's just that the next time Qi Niangzi comes again, you have to do this......"
