The day after returning to the house, Mrs. Jin began to call Linglong as a girl. Mao Zheng got up, washed up and went to Chunhui Hall to wait. Mrs. Jin is used to getting up at the right time, and her old man brought seven or eight maids and mothers-in-law from Jiangsu, plus the original ones in Xifu, there are more than 20 maids in Chunhui Hall, and more than a dozen mothers-in-law. But with so many people, the errand of washing the face of Mrs. Jin still fell on Linglong's head.

Linglong didn't care, when she was in the old house in Jiangsu, this kind of delicate errand really didn't take her turn, and at that time she often did some rough work such as cleaning the courtyard.

The hot water was adjusted to lukewarm, and brought it to Mrs. Jin, who glanced at Linglong, and as soon as her fingers touched the water, she scolded: "You black-hearted little hoof, like your own mother, you are not at ease, and you want to burn me to death!" ”

Linglong raised her eyebrows, grandmother, you really didn't disappoint me. I haven't seen you for half a year, and your scolding vocabulary has not increased, and scolding is just a few words, you are not annoyed.

She had already prepared, and as soon as Mrs. Jin's voice fell, she scooped cold water and poured it into the basin: "It's not hot now, you can try again." ”

Mrs. Jin glared at her fiercely, this dead girl, the more she studied in the capital, the more slippery her head became, and she even carried cold water with her.

This water was originally moderately hot and cold, but now that cold water is added, it naturally becomes cooler. Old Lady Jin frowned, opened her mouth and was about to continue scolding, so Linglong asked, "If Grandmother still feels hot, then Linglong will continue to add cold water to you." ”

The dead girl did it on purpose, she knew that the water was cold, and she even had to add cold water, obviously she didn't want her old man to wash her face.

"The water is cold, how do you let me wash it?"

"Oh, it's cold, but I'm glad I got hot water too."

Another stream of hot water was poured in, and now Mrs. Jin really didn't want to say anything, what else could she say, and then it was hot, so the dead girl would add cold water to her, and if it was cold, she would heat the water, and she had already prepared, and it was clear that she had calculated what she was going to do.

Mrs. Jin reluctantly washed her face, rinsed her mouth with clear salt, and then asked Jin Shanjia to comb her hair to the brink, insert a gold-inlaid jade crested hairpin into the round bun, tie a jade bead in front of her forehead, and change it into a long body gown with a plain face Fu character pattern and a sauce-colored thread skirt.

Linglong kept standing on the side with a golden basin filled with clean water, until Mrs. Jin was dressed up, she took the water out and poured it, and accompanied Mrs. Jin to the flower hall on the side for breakfast.

Mrs. Jin is a native of Jiangsu, and she is not used to eating breakfast in the north, although the chefs here are not as good as those in the old house in Jiangsu, but the old lady's breakfast does not dare to be ambiguous, and she has set up a table of more than a dozen, glutinous rice and red date porridge, mushroom siu mai, diced meat soup dumplings, cream rolls, and bean paste balls

Song Xiuzhu and Liu Yuer were already waiting in the flower hall, and the other three aunts and Jin Xian and Jin Yu also came, and they came to greet the old lady.

Mrs. Jin glanced at Linglong who was standing on the side again: "Why are you still standing stupidly, I tasted very good this red date porridge that day, you can give each of them a bowl." ”

Liu Yu'er doesn't care, the others are either aunts or sisters, none of them deserve to let Linglong add porridge.

Xingyu, who was following Linglong, couldn't help it, and was about to hug the young lady upset, Linglong stretched her sleeves and signaled her not to speak.

She picked up the soup spoon and filled a bowl of porridge, and respectfully held it in front of Liu Yu'er: "Cousin, drink this porridge while it's hot." ”

A smile overflowed at the corner of Liu Yu'er's mouth, and she asked the maid to take the porridge bowl, and she said with a smile: "Good, Miss Fifth is really filial and sensible, good boy." ”

Linglong filled a bowl of porridge, and then stopped serving it, and looked at several aunts and two younger siblings with a smile.

Seeing that Linglong didn't move, Mrs. Jin said angrily: "Don't you have ears?" Didn't you hear me ask you to give each of them a bowl? ”

Song Xiuzhu hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, old lady, I think Miss Fifth has never done this kind of work, so I'm not used to it." ”

Seeing that she really opened her mouth to help, adding oil and vinegar, Linglong also smiled: "Aunt Song is really wrong in what she said, I'm not unaccustomed to it, I'm waiting for you to salute me." I'm a concubine, you are a concubine, you have to give me a salute, and I can serve you porridge. The Jin family is a big family and a famous family, and this kind of etiquette cannot be saved. Let's start with you, Aunt Song. ”

Everyone's faces changed, and no one expected that Mrs. Jin wanted to set rules for Linglong, but she evolved it into a way for her aunt and younger siblings to set rules.

Liu Yuer sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and at this time saw that these people all changed their faces, the three aunts were not powerful in the house, and they were used to being cautious, but it was nothing, but Song Xiuzhu had always regarded herself as the housewife, and she had just said that, Linglong asked her to take the lead in saluting, and her face was slapping.

"This is also true, who doesn't know that the third master of the Jin family is a scholar, and the rules in Xifu are better than those in other places. My aunt originally wanted her brothers and sisters to learn more rules and become prominent in the future. Second wife, you really should take the lead, the eldest cousin is not here, you should be an example, Miss Yan is going to serve you porridge, how can you not thank you. ”

Good you Liu Yuer, you are indispensable if you fall into the well.

A trace of hatred flashed in Song Xiuzhu's eyes, but in front of Mrs. Jin, she couldn't express any dissatisfaction with Liu Yuer.

At this time, she can still laugh, and she smiles humbly and humbly, poor little appearance, at first glance, she is a little daughter-in-law who is used to being bullied by Miss Yan.

"The concubine thanked Miss Five, Miss Five has worked hard." Saying that, she bowed down and behaved in a good manner.

Linglong tugged at the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Aunt Song doesn't have to be polite, they are all a family, and whoever serves porridge to whom is not all the same, it is all thanks to the old lady." ”

Yes, you really entrusted the old lady's blessing, if you didn't invite the old lady from Jiangsu, Jin Yuan would not be grounded and punished for copying the female commandment, and you didn't have to lure the wolf into the room and provoke Liu Yu'er over, let alone salute me for a bowl of porridge, look, how much blessing you got from the old lady, it was all your own effort.

Therefore, you really can't be too smart and calculating.

The other three aunts have been watching Song Xiuzhu's face all these years, and they rarely see Jin Min in Pingsuri, they have no children, and they are barely living in this house, and they have no hope, they just hope that Song Xiuzhu will not trouble them and live a stable and peaceful life.

Seeing Song Xiuzhu saluting, they came over one after another, and also painted a gourd to Linglong to see the gift, although Jin Xian and Jin Yu were also a hundred unwilling, but they also saluted the eldest sister, each held porridge and sat down, this meal was eaten exceptionally quietly, and a needle could be heard.
