Hibiscus Court

The servants were busy with the dishes, and this day the kitchen made stewed pigeon soup with shiitake mushrooms, minced pork with moon sprouts, glutinous rice chicken with water lotus, and a small plate of pickled sprouts with pearl fragrant rice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mrs. Zhou helped Zheng sit at the table, turned around and told the servant woman to call the third lady over for dinner.

Zheng seemed to be in a good mood, glanced at the food on the table, and raised his eyebrows.

"Water lotus glutinous rice chicken this dish is a famous dish in the capital, but it is not as smooth and mellow as the taste made by our Su Fu cook, tracing back to the roots on this green and long water lotus, the lord since he knows my love for the white lotus, he specially told the servants to take care of the lotus pond in Jinyuan, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are like ice and jade, they are more tender and crisp than elsewhere, and the glutinous rice chicken stuffed out of the lotus leaves is more smooth and tender."

Zheng said carefully, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and Mrs. Zhou continued with a smile: "The master always puts the lady on the tip of his heart, as long as the lady is happy, the master is afraid that he will dig a pond in Jinyuan and raise some white lotus." ”

Zheng said angrily: "The master has me in his heart, I understand, but as a housewife, how can I be willful and reckless like my little daughter's family?" The Su family still wants me to take care of it, I heard that there are floods in the rainy season every year in the south of the Yangtze River, so I might as well save this silver to do some good deeds for the Su family, and the lord can also set an example in the court and share the emperor's worries. ”

Zheng seemed to be too worried about the master, and his eyes were full of unsolvable sorrow.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly persuaded and explained: "Madame thinks about the lord wholeheartedly, for the sake of the Su family, the lord sees it in his eyes, but Madame is worried and tired, and she must take care of her own body." ”

"Mom, rest assured, the Su family can't do without me, and I can't do without the master, I will take care of myself." Zheng sighed, his eyes fell on the plate of water lotus glutinous rice chicken, and said, "Brother Hao is resting tomorrow, he likes to eat the water lotus glutinous rice chicken in the house the most, and my mother will go to the kitchen to say hello later. ”

Mrs. Zhou was about to answer, but Zheng sighed again.

"It's just that the seven girls don't have such good luck, I'm afraid that she has already received the master's punishment at this time, and she won't be able to eat the delicious food."

After noon this day, a servant woman came to report that the seven girls secretly went out of the house from the back corner door with two maids, and she deliberately arranged for Mrs. Zhou to meet the big girl next to the Li family.

The big girl will definitely go back and tell the Li family if she seizes the opportunity to receive the reward.

Who is Lee?

A mean villain who will repay him!

I heard that the Li family had persuaded the master to follow her to the back corner gate.

This time, even if the seven girls are clever, they will inevitably be reprimanded by the master.

The first thing Zheng did before getting rid of Su Ximei was to ask her to lose Su De's trust.

As long as Su De is completely disappointed in him, the seventh girl, and ignores him, the Zheng family can show his strength and get rid of the big trouble.

Just like the seven girls who were seriously ill and were thrown to Yizhuang by her, didn't the old man just ignore it?

Zheng made up her mind, and the progress of things was clueless, and her mood was a little better than usual.

Mrs. Zhou replied: "Madame worries and cares for the ladies in the house all day long, and plans for the future, it is really a blessing for the ladies, or the old slave will let the kitchen send some light tonic soup to Miss Seven, Miss Seven can't eat it at this time, maybe she will ease up later." ”

Zheng thought for a moment, and said: "Then it can only be like this first, I hope the seventh girl can think clearly, and the master is also for her good." ”

The servant woman who had just gone to summon the third lady to come over for dinner opened the curtain and entered the house.

"Madam, the third lady said that she is not very comfortable, so she will not come tonight." She spoke respectfully.

"But here?" Zheng furrowed his eyebrows, "Where is she uncomfortable?" ”

Her daughter Zheng knows best, if Sister Xin was really uncomfortable, she would have made a lot of trouble in the house.

She didn't believe that such a quiet Sister Xin was really uncomfortable.

The servant woman replied: "The third lady said that she had embroidered for an afternoon today, and her brain was a little groggy and she wanted to rest early. ”

Zheng nodded, "Then let her be." ”

Probably Sister Xin'er embroidery was too tired to move, thinking of this, Zheng instructed again: "Mother Zhou, you let the kitchen prepare some sweet soup and send it to Sister Xin'er's room." ”

When you're tired, drink some sweet soup and you'll feel refreshed.

Mrs. Zhou responded, beckoning the servant woman who was saying goodbye to retreat.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou came back again.

Zheng saw that Mrs. Zhou's expression was not quite right, so she put down the spoon, and Mrs. Zhou frowned and waved away the servants and maids who served without waiting for Zheng to speak.

Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with Mom?" ”

Mrs. Zhou looked back, and it wasn't until all the subordinates had withdrawn from the room that she came to Zheng's side and lowered her voice.

"Madam, the third lady has not been in the boudoir all afternoon this afternoon, but ...... Privately went to the full moon building in the west of the city with a few young ladies, and the lord already knew about it, and now he is coming to the Furong Pavilion. ”

"What!" Zheng couldn't help but raise her voice, and her mouth shook fiercely, but in an instant she regained her composure, and her mind was spinning rapidly.

The three girls actually went to the full moon building without her!

If she told the old man that the three girls had been informed of the whereabouts of leaving the house in advance, it would be a loss of proportion for her as a mother.

How can a daughter's family go to a place like that!

She didn't stop it, but agreed, and all the fault was on her alone.

If she said that she didn't know about the three girls' departure, it was also her negligence as a mother who did not discipline her daughter well.

It's all her fault!

The old man eats soft and not hard, only to take the initiative to admit his mistakes and ask for good in a low voice!

Zheng raised his eyebrows and instructed Mrs. Zhou to serve her meal safe and sound, as if nothing had happened and she didn't know.

Soon, a servant woman outside the door said that the old man had come to Furong Pavilion, and Zheng wiped his mouth and asked Mrs. Zhou to help her get up.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Sude strode into the house,

Zheng Shi's face showed a little surprise, and after a moment, he greeted him with a smile.

"Didn't the master dine at the third sister's place? Why did you have to come here with a concubine? ”

There was just the right amount of surprise in her tone, and Su De felt very comfortable in his heart when he heard it.

He stepped forward to support Zheng's body, sat at the table with her shoulder, and said softly: "You worry about the mansion on weekdays, I didn't plan to come over to talk to you today, but there is one thing I have to come over to discuss with you." ”

"What are you talking about here, you are my father-in-law, it is a matter of course for the father-in-law to come from the courtyard of the wife, and the old husband and wife still say what to disturb or not." Zheng smiled and bent his eyes, turned his head and instructed Mrs. Zhou, "Mother Zhou, I have something to say to my master, you go out and wait first." ”

Mrs. Zhou retired, and there were only Su De and Zheng in the room at this time.
