Chapter 34: Polishing Shen Rong (1)
The Aunt Liu incident did not have much impact on Jinyu. After the initial shock, Jinyu was about to get busy. The wedding date is approaching, and it is March of the following year. Jinyu must prepare a wedding dress for herself, as well as a wedding quilt, bed tent and other things. Although there was green smoke and red apricots around to help, Jinyu was still very busy. Knowing that Kang's was pregnant, Jinyu was happy for her eldest brother and sister-in-law. After hearing that Jin Xiu was willing not to take a concubine for the Kang family's life, Jinyu envied her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart and got such a good husband. In her spare time preparing for her dowry, Jinyu can't help but reverie about her future life. Although it was a lot of confusion, she felt that she had the courage to believe that her life could be controlled in the palm of her hand.
Hu didn't make Shen Rong sad for long. Jinyu wants to get married, Kang's is pregnant, Shen Fang is weak, and in addition to Shen Rong, the Hu family can't hand over the help of a second person. Besides, Hu didn't plan to let Shen Rong be free, rather than letting her think cranky all day long, it would be better to let her do something constructive. For Shen Rong's sadness, Hu knows that the comfort of words is empty, as a big girl who is about to leave the cabinet, knowing some ways of managing the family is far more practical than thinking about how to be favored. In the future, I want to be a wife, and it is much more important to take care of a family and a family than to fight with a concubine. The concubine is just the façade of the husband and wife. Hu felt the need to let Shen Rong deeply understand this truth. If Aunt Liu kept her duty, she wouldn't mind letting her continue as the façade of Master Gao's red sleeves. It's just that in the current situation, she can only blame herself.
"Go and inform the eldest lady that I will see her in the council chamber tomorrow morning! If she wants to be angry again, I will honor the master and let her accompany her aunt! Hu Shi heard that Zhao's mother came to report that Shen Rong still hadn't eaten or slept in the past few days, and her spirit was sluggish, so she said this to her directly. Mother Zhao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Hu, and saw her stern expression, obviously this time it was real. couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and secretly sweated for Shen Rong. Now that Aunt Liu is in decline, Shen Rong is obviously not treated by Master Gao. What is this going to do, wife? Could it be that he wants to avenge the Liu family's vendetta for so many years? It's not like my wife has always been a person. But at his wife's orders, she would definitely not dare to disobey half a point. So despite her suspicions, she obediently returned to Shenrong's Lingzhi Garden.
"Miss, you have to take a bite to eat. The slave knows that you feel uncomfortable, but there is really no way to do anything about your aunt. If you have a good one, how can you be worthy of your aunt who has loved you so much? Green Wen took a bowl of bird's nest porridge and sat in front of Shen Rong's bed and tried his best to persuade him. Two lines of tears slid down Shen Rong's face. Looking at the green lines with a concerned face, Shen Rong said astringently: "My aunt has been imprisoned in the family temple, no matter how good I do, what's the point?" Daddy doesn't even want to see me now, what face do I have in this family? Thinking of Aunt Liu's fate, Green Lines couldn't help but sigh deeply. Indeed, Master Gao has always doted on Shen Rong, largely because of his love for Aunt Liu. Now that Aunt Liu has made a mistake and fallen out of favor, it is hard to say that Master Gao will not hate Wu and Wu for this, and it will involve the eldest lady. Not to mention anything else, but in this courtyard, some people's hearts have been floating these days. There are already many people who have secretly searched for a better place to go from the steward who has a face in front of Master Gao and the Hu family. It's inconvenient for her to say anything, but she can't be angry, and she doesn't dare to let Shen Rong know. I don't know what my wife's attitude is, so for the time being, she is still holding back. I'm afraid that my wife won't want to see Miss, so the eldest lady will definitely be deserted here all of a sudden.
"Madame's words, the old slave has been brought. What are you going to do with Miss! Mother Zhao told Shen Rong the original words of the Hu family, looked at Shen Rong's expression, and waited for her to reply. Hearing Mother Zhao's words, Shen Rong's eyes lit up, and she couldn't believe her ears: "Mrs. really said that?" Mother Zhao nodded, and then said: "Miss, according to the old slave, since Mrs. let you still go to the council hall, it is clear that she will continue to let you be the housekeeper." You can't be so willful and let down your wife's heart. Shen Rong raised her hand and said to Green Lines: "I want to eat, you feed me." Green Wen happily hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Rong up, and carefully fed her a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Seeing that Shen Rong was finally willing to eat, knowing that she had figured it out, Zhao's mother didn't say anything more.
The sun had just risen, and the mothers-in-law who were waiting outside the council hall saw the eldest lady Shen Rong walking over with the help of Mother Zhao and Green Lines. From time to time, someone whispered: "Aunt Liu is unlucky this time." The eldest lady doesn't know what else to do when she comes out? There's no one to support her now! "Madame asked the eldest lady to come over, she must have to treat her well, who made her so rampant before!" "Aunt Liu did something black this time, the eldest lady is like her, you see, it looks like it was carved out of a mold!" Although these voices were small, they stubbornly drilled into Shen Rong's ears. Mother Zhao and Green Lines couldn't help but change color. Shen Rong didn't seem to hear at all, and walked towards the council hall step by step.
Seeing the Hu family, Shen Rong saluted seriously and uprightly. Hu Shi nodded secretly, but his face was faint, and said, "You are here." In the past few days, there have been a few mistakes and omissions in the kitchen list, so I took it to a good pair. You've been lying down for a few days, and I can't take care of it. Don't be lazy, if you have the strength to help me look at it. Your sister-in-law has it again now, Shenfang is weak, Jinyu is busy, you can be careful! Shen Rong respectfully agreed, took the list in Hu's hand, sat down under Hu's head and looked at it carefully. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were all in the courtyard secretly wondered when they saw it, they couldn't imagine that such a big thing had happened, but the Hu family still let Shen Rong learn to manage the family. For a while, there were also those who praised the virtuous Hu family, and there were also those who waited to see Shen Rong's good show, and so on. Shen Rong carefully checked the list in her hand, and after a while, she pointed out several mistakes and omissions to Hu Shi one by one. Hu Shi glanced at it, then nodded, "Okay, I know." Tell me, what should you do? Shen Rong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, isn't it usually good to just point out the mistakes of their sisters? What does Hu mean now is to let himself deal with it? She was a little unsure, but she heard Hu Shi say: "In the future, you will be in charge of your own house, and you will be fooled by others like this?" If you don't understand, you won't, you have to understand and learn! So he replied, "Yes!" "Take Zhao's mother, take those few lists and go to the kitchen.
"The stewards are all in front of you, you go to the kitchen, and you meet the people below, what are you going to ask?" Hu's words successfully made Shen Rong stop. She glanced at Zhao's mother, Zhao's mother nodded to her, and she said to Hu's: "Mother, can you allow me to go to the kitchen and ask, how much is the total number of vegetables in our family every day?" How many were received in each room? As soon as Hu Shi looked up, he saw a long-faced mother-in-law in the room shrank for a moment, lowered his head again, and said indifferently: "I handed over this matter to you, and you will handle it!" So Shen Rong turned around and went out with Zhao's mother.
In the big kitchen, it was the red peony who came out of her before, and in front of Shen Rong, the red peony reported the accounts of the past few days very smoothly. Before Shen Rong disliked her stupidity, the little girl was actually extremely unconvinced. Now in front of Shen Rong, she can't help but show her good side in front of Shen Rong. Shen Rong listened carefully to her account, and soon realized that something was wrong. "You mean, the vegetables and vegetables at Grandma's place are all bought separately? What about the public account? Hong Shao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The rule of self-origin is that every house must be bought." However, the young grandmother is happy these days, there are many things that are not eaten, and there are many things that want to be eaten, but there is no public middle school, presumably which aunt will fill it in private. Shen Rong's face was straight, and she said: "I remember clearly on the account, there are more than 20 catties of white noodles, 30 catties of meat, and more than 20 chickens in the past few days." Sister-in-law just has a good appetite, she can't eat so many things alone, right? Hong Shao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The eldest lady is aware that the things sent to each room here are handled by slaves and maids. Since there are so many more in the account, the slave and maid don't dare to reply alone, and ask the eldest lady to call the mothers in charge of the affairs too, everyone checks it out, and it is not in vain to lie to the good people. Maybe it's because the mother is old and doesn't know if she made a mistake. Shen Rong listened to her speak smoothly and reasonably, and couldn't help but praise her: "You are very good!" Do as you say! "Someone went out to spread the word, and soon several of the mothers-in-law in charge of the kitchen came together.
"Miss, it's not been a day or two since I've been in charge of this kitchen comprador, there are a lot of things in the kitchen, and the old slave really can't guarantee that some of them here are good. You see, in the past few days, the young grandmother has been happy, and she has eaten several kinds of food, and I don't know how much raw materials are consumed. You can't just look at that dead account! "It was Mrs. Feng, the housekeeper who was purchased by the general leader in the kitchen, who spoke. Her voice was high, thick, and harsh. Shen Rong glanced at her, but saw that she was tall and fat, standing there full of momentum, quite a bit of a posture of what you can't do, and couldn't help frowning secretly. On the side, Hong Shao couldn't help but say: "This is what my mother said, but in the past few days, I have brought a total of two bowls of black chicken soup and a meal of shrimp dumplings to my grandmother, but I can't fill so much flour and chicken." Hearing her point through herself, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but straighten her face and scolded: "You little hooves talk a lot!" Every day, I remember what the eldest young grandmother ate, did I think about the eldest young master, so you carried the things in his room very clearly?\" Red Peony's face turned red all of a sudden, and the little girl couldn't help crying "wow" all of a sudden. Shen Rong couldn't bear it either, and only felt a fire rushing up in her head.
