Chapter 20: The Dark Tide Before the Dinner Party Is Turbulent III

During the unitary time, the large kitchen in the inner courtyard of the Weihou Mansion.

It is quite different from the quiet in the afternoon, and the inner courtyard of the Weihou Mansion at this moment is a busy scene. People come and go, and the kitchen and the big flower hall are all in full swing.

Soon it will be the time of the family banquet in the Weihou Mansion, and the difference from the usual family banquet is that this time there is the real leader of the Weihou Mansion, and the old lady Wei who has not appeared in the Hou Mansion for more than three years - when the grand appearance of the eldest princess of Rongyang in the Chao Dynasty is concerned, all the people in the Hou Mansion are worried and trembling. Mrs. Wei Hou even went to the kitchen in person, and the servants and maids in the kitchen were even more trembling and fearless.

"Remember to put more sugar in this purple potato cake, the old lady loves sweet." Liang told the cook who was making dim sum.

His eyes shifted to the pot stove on the side: "That Buddha jumped over the wall and remembered to stew for a while, that is what the old man loves to eat, and it must be tasted." ”

Seeing the cooks respond cautiously, Liang was in a good mood.

"Oh, feed my good lady, just tell me, this kitchen is the thing Granny Qin and Mrs. Zhu are the best at it, seeing that the time is almost up, let's go back." You'll have to shower, change and redress! Seeing that Liang showed his authority as a housewife, he was in a good mood, and the cooks on the side were afraid to do things, and quietly made colors with herself, Mama Liu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.

"That's right, that's right, madam, you can leave a few old wives to us on this stove, and make sure you don't embarrass your wife!" The kitchen steward Mama Zhao came up together with a very good eye and persuaded her. She is also Liang's companion, and she is a cousin with Mama Liu, so she can serve as the chief steward in the big kitchen of the Houhou Mansion. Secretly I kept slandering in my heart: Let's go quickly, it's too inconvenient to watch us do things here, and I don't know where to put my hands and feet...

Hearing these words, Liang responded. When he walked sideways towards the door, Lin didn't forget to advise: "Then the things in the kitchen depend on you, Mama Zhao, take out your skills!" Mama Liu, let's go. ”

Of course, this is a clear responsibility, and the subconscious meaning is that if something goes wrong, Mama Zhao is the first person responsible.

・・・

The main courtyard of the backyard of the Weihou Mansion, that is, the main courtyard where Mrs. Liang lived, there are five rooms, and there are two ear rooms on the left and right sides. The right ear room is occupied by Mama Liu, and the left ear room is occupied by Aunt Cui and the third lady Wei Yuan.

Aunt Cui had finished her makeup at the moment, and slowly moved to her daughter's boudoir to see if her daughter had cleaned up, but saw the third lady, Wei Yuan, sitting in front of the dresser, her hands unconsciously rummaging in the makeup box.

"Third Miss, why haven't you cleaned it up yet?" It's almost time, she has to take Wei Yuan to the main room to meet Madame, and then hurry to the flower hall. If I arrive later than my wife, I am afraid that it will be a few days before my nose and face are not good.

But it's also strange in my heart, since I came back in the morning, my daughter has been so absent-minded and gritted her teeth, and she didn't say anything when she asked her what was wrong.

Wei Yuan, who was in a trance, was interrupted like this, and simply threw the things in his hand into the makeup box. Angry: "Clean up? What to pack? Nothing compares to others! ”

"Say what?" Aunt Cui cautiously looked outside, and was relieved to see that it was Bing Core standing at the door, "Third Miss, Second Miss is a concubine after all, you should be careful when you speak!" She thought that the person in Wei Yuan's mouth was referring to the second young lady Wei Huan.

"Oh, auntie, I'm not talking about the second sister!" Wei Yuan said impatiently.

Aunt Cui couldn't help but wonder: If it's not the second miss, who else can there be? The three rooms are all in the field, and no one compares with her...

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the girl who came out with my wife in the morning. Could it be...

Wei Yuan's next words completely confirmed her guess.

"I'm talking about that eldest lady~~~" deliberately lengthened her tone, and Wei Yuan complained angrily: "Isn't she also a concubine?" Why is the treatment the same as the second sister, has her own yard, and even the maidservants are still overpowered? She doesn't have an aunt yet! Wei Yuan was really aggrieved in her heart. People are like this, they are not as good as others in the unit, and if they come to a person who is the same as themselves in all aspects or even weaker than themselves, but they can mix better than themselves, the unwillingness to be suppressed in their hearts will be as hot as a fire poured with gasoline...

Aunt Cui's face stiffened, her only baby daughter, she gave herself a heartwarming kick...

What does it mean that she doesn't have an aunt yet? Co-author: Is this a run on yourself as well as a dead man? But after all, she is her only daughter, and she can't care about it.

"That's it! What do you compare to others? She is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, so what if the treatment is better? Of course, she is not comfortable in her heart, but this "eldest lady" is doing so well, it is difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse. She is not Aunt Jiang's brainless idiot.

Wei Yuan didn't know this: "What eldest daughter?" It's just that it's a little earlier in reincarnation! Auntie, your daughter is not as good as her..."

Aunt Cui has a headache, her daughter, hey, she is a little younger, and she has no eyesight. In the future, she will teach more, and her generation will point to her to earn a bright future!

grabbed his daughter with one hand and hugged her to his lap, and said to her: "Don't say this in the future!" In terms of the eldest and youngest, the eldest lady is your eldest sister. In terms of dignity and humility, the eldest lady can be regarded as your elder, and she was once raised under the old lady's knees. Besides, you are sisters, how can you fight like black-eyed chickens? If you don't accept it, you can, but you can't be unconvinced, you know? That is to say, in front of the old lady, the marquis, and the lady, you can't and will never make a fuss. ”

Seeing Wei Yuan's disbelief, Aunt Cui stopped her mouth from opening her mouth: "You listen to Aunt first." You don't understand the affairs of adults, do you think it is a good thing for Madame to treat the eldest lady so preferentially? Not necessarily! ”

Wei Yuan looked confused. Isn't it good to be nice to her? Why?

Aunt Cui sighed: "Slowly you will know." But what I said before, you must remember, if you want to be like Mrs. and Second Miss in the future! ”

Like Mrs. and Second Sister?! Wei Yuan's eyes lit up, and he wanted to say something more. There was the sound of ice cores at the door.

"Sister Bingrui!"

made a "shh

When Bingrui opened the curtain and came in, she saw Aunt Cui standing respectfully behind the third lady Wei Yuan, and said softly: "Third girl, do you think it's good to wear this yarn-saving magnolia flower today?" ”
