Finally, the day of the legendary greetings arrived, March 15. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Manyan has done her homework, and asked Mama Wu to sort out the relationship between the masters and characters in the house. Mama Wu knew everything, said their respective temperaments and preferences, and Manyan took notes and burned them. She could at least piece together a rough picture of the names of people she had heard.

Man smoke arrived at the earliest. The room on the east side of the main hall of Songhe Hall has been placed with six Taishi chairs, on which are placed with blue satin dough flowers. She sat down at the old lady's left foot and stared intently at the door.

The first to come in was a delicate and thin young beauty, leading a child of three or four years old, followed by a maid. As soon as she entered, the woman bowed her head and bowed, "Say hello to the old lady." "The warbler's voice is tactful and very beautiful. She looked slightly panicked when she raised her head, and bowed down again, "Third Miss An." ”

The drooping child knelt on the futon, and his voice was loud, "Grandson greets grandmother, and third sister greets." ”

Obviously, this is Aunt Hu and the Ninth Young Master. After getting up, the two of them stood directly behind the chairs, as if waiting for someone. Man Yan looked at this cousin intimately, "Would you like to go to my sister's place to play later?" ”

Xiao Erlang looked excited, but he looked back at his aunt, and then lowered his head and was silent.

At this time, people from the second and third rooms came one after another. Wang walked in the forefront, followed by the eighth miss Fu Manyou, the fifth miss Fu Manshu, as well as two maids and two mothers-in-law, and the group was mighty. The handkerchief in her hand was raised, and a red embroidered shoe crossed the threshold in advance. When the old lady saw the dazzling red, she immediately felt a little displeased. The third lady Meng Shi, the sixth lady Fu Manhua, the seventh lady Fu Manxian, the second room Aunt He, and the third room Aunt Bai were the third lady. Because the Fu family's heirs were not prosperous, the aunts gave birth to offspring for the Fu family, so they also allowed the fifteenth day of the new year to go to Songhe Hall to ask for peace.

Wang didn't know the old lady's mood, and after saying hello, he sat down on the first chair on the left. After greeting the others, they saluted separately, and it took half a pillar of incense before they were all seated. Man Yan noticed that Aunt Hu looked extremely uneasy, her right hand was on the shoulder of the Ninth Young Master, and her fingers unconsciously tore at the Ninth Young Master's clothes. There were so many people in the house, what was she afraid of.

Wang opened his mouth with a grin. "I'll give Yan'er a companion first. The deed of sale of the two little girls was really wishing their mother, it was originally allocated to Yu Linxuan, but Aunt Hu refused to ask for it, and the sister-in-law was just short of people and put it in Hehuan Garden. ”

Man Yan sneered in his heart, this is stuffing people everywhere, and "Yulinxuan" can't be stuffed into it, so it will be thrown into "Hehuan Garden". But this Aunt Hu doesn't do superficial work.

"Yan'er, I heard that you have been sick these days, but now you are well? Auntie was really worried. ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Man Yan, and she had to withdraw her gaze from Hu's place. replied without arrogance, "Thank you for your concern, Yan'er is almost fine." ”

"What the hell is it?" Wang's gaze deliberately fell on Man Yan's throat, where there was a crescent-like scar that was noticeably darker than the skin on the side.

Man smoked but smiled silently. The old lady sighed, "Isn't Zhuo's Qiqi still over?" Her mother was reluctant to let her go, and touched her neck. On the first day of next month, I plan to let Yan'er go to Hanshan Temple to make a vow, the house has done a dojo before, so you can burn some paper money at the intersection of the garden. ”

Wang's face turned a little blue, and his two hands desperately twisted the veil. No one can refute what the old lady said, she knows what if she hangs herself, and it's not easy to say it.

Man Yan smiled unkindly in his heart. Suddenly, six-year-old Fu Man said sweetly, "Grandmother, can I sit next to you like the third sister?" Before the old lady could agree, she sat down opposite Manyan with a triumphant smile. Man Yan was speechless, just a child.

Wang had a flash of inspiration and resumed his courtesy, "Old lady, you see that Brother Nian is also older now, he studies hard, it's time to set up a yard for him." Today, I cheekily beg you to show me, can you let Brother Nian live in Hehuan Garden, and let him come over to accompany you more in the future, and you can also teach this grandson. What do you think? ”

"Brother Nian, don't you have you as a father, why use me to teach? Don't fight Hehuan Yuan's idea, it's empty for the time being, the smoke can't let go of his father, and there is a thought about keeping the yard smoke. Besides, Yan'er was just touched by her mother's neck, and you are not afraid of Brother Nian'er's collision. ”

After the old lady said this, everyone was a little uncomfortable, and Wang's face was even more ugly. What to collide with, it is naturally a ghost and a god. If you can't see or touch, can you not be afraid? The old lady swept the room and said indifferently, "I have something to tell you today, anyway, you have been mentioning it for several years." In the future, if you want to eat and drink whatever you want in the yard, if you can't get a big kitchen, you can spend your own money to open a small kitchen. Don't let me hear anyone's maid quarrel with the kitchen person, and it will be a shame for the Hou Mansion to say it. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and they all thought that they could eat hot food in winter, and it was done.

But it's so hard to set up a small kitchen. It's a long story. When the emperor was in power, there were many disasters, and several wars were protracted wars. At that time, the treasury was empty, and the first emperor took the harem concubines to promote frugality with coarse clothes and food, and the princes and nobles took the emperor as the head of the horse, and they were not so particular about "not getting tired of eating and not getting tired of being fine", and most of the noble clans followed suit and canceled the small kitchen. Until this dynasty, the imperial court has been recuperating for many years, and the treasury has also been earned, and the current emperor Ji Zheng does not want to continue to be miserable, and those first- and second-class princes' mansions and Jiuqing's houses have all restored their small kitchens.

When Wang returned to his parents' house a few years ago, he saw that several main courtyards at home had added small kitchens, and it was very convenient for any master to change the taste and eat some fresh tricks. But I mentioned it to the old lady several times, and my requests were all returned. Now that the old lady nodded, she couldn't help but feel that she had made a great contribution and benefited everyone, and she was as proud as a peacock.

The old lady picked up the crutches beside her and knocked twice on the ground, "I don't understand my heart, my wife has become this wicked person." You think that if you follow those high-ranking families to compare food and clothing, our Hou Mansion will be able to go to that family's saucer. Forget it, it's over, you can do it yourself. "After the old lady ran his family, he has been committed to adding a book to the stigma of the Anping Marquis Mansion, and he thinks he can still touch a few points of holy will with his experience and insight. However, these people in the Hou Mansion only care about temporary pleasure, they are all short-sighted, and they can't help but feel cold in their hearts, so they want to send people away. "You still have something to do, it's okay to go to Woxingzhai and disperse after reading the old marquis."

Man Yan can be regarded as a little eyebrow. According to my grandmother, this small kitchen is more than just a family affair. In the future, the big kitchen will be light, and only the big pot of rice and grandmother's side will be used, and the other masters will probably eat in the small kitchen in their own yard. The number of people entering and leaving the courtyard has increased greatly, and the access control in the house is not easy to say, in case there is a private entrainment in and out, this inner courtyard will be lively. But having a small kitchen is really convenient, and she can arrange new tasks for the maid again.

After the old lady's words were finished, everyone was a little embarrassed, and they all went to look at Wang's face. The Wang family has always been the first to leave, but he didn't say anything today. Unexpectedly, Meng Shi, who has always been silent, spoke: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law has something to report. Meng didn't dare to look at the old lady's eyes, and his voice was like a mosquito: "Old lady, I'm afraid my daughter-in-law won't be able to manage the sewing room." ”

The Meng family is the main room of the third room of the Hou Mansion, and it has always been submissive, and it has to listen to both the old lady and the Wang, and it is the most statusless main room in this family. In this era, most of the reason why women don't live well enough is because men are not strong enough. is just the opposite of the situation in the second room, the old man Fu Jiwen in the third room is a white body, and his biological mother is a girl from Aunt Chang's grandmother's side, named Cuiping. Cuiping gave birth to the child and immediately died of hemorrhage. The old lady had a mother-in-law at that time, and Chang Jiao on her side, and she couldn't take care of this concubine when she was sad. Fu Jiwen has always been carried by his nursing mother, and when he is older, he runs around behind the eldest brother and the second brother. Therefore, the third old man Fu Jiwen has neither mother's pain nor father's love, and his temperament is honest and wooden, and he can grow up safely is already a bodhisattva blessing. After the old lady took charge of the house, he gave him a small shop to take care of, which made him a little serious. The days of the third room were tight, and later I ordered the Montessori tube needlework room. This makes the face of the third room look better.

The old lady's face was like frost, "What's the reason?" I'll hear you what you say. ”

Meng Shi said ashamedly, "The daughter-in-law is incompetent. Then he kept silent.

The old lady glanced at Wang, very annoyed, "Let's go to bedriding, I'm tired." As he spoke, he let Fu Manyan support him and walked to the inner room.

Everyone went out to the north and walked for a while, Wang glanced at Meng, "I'll tell the second master when I go back, and ask him to find a academy for Brother Song, but you must know that it definitely can't be compared with Bishui Academy." ”

Meng Shi bowed his head respectfully and said, "Thank you, second brother and sister-in-law, for bothering you." ”

The group was led by Wang, and went to Woxingzhai again.
