Chapter 429: If You Don't Die, You Can't Die
Aunt Jiang didn't understand it, but Mrs. Fan and the third lady understood it as soon as they heard it, now that Mrs. Fan is in charge, no matter how stupid people are, they know to tighten this shrewd housewife.
Therefore, the conversation between Aunt Jiang and Fan Anju was reported to Mrs. Fan about the time of tea.
Mrs. Fan was smiling and asking people to bring tea and refreshments to entertain the third lady, "Brother and sister are just right at this time, and I happened to meet my newly made dim sum in the small kitchen, come, try it, right!" ”
The third lady would not refuse, and took out a piece of pastry about the size of a thumb from the black lacquer box with floral pattern golden lotus petals on the table, the fragrance of almonds came from her fingertips, and the third lady couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Fragrant, really fragrant, this is made of almonds?" ”
"Well, it's made with almonds and cow's milk, and in addition to the almond flavor, it also has a strong *!" Mrs. Fan also picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
The third lady loved almonds, and the freshly baked almond cake was so fragrant and melt-in-your-mouth that she ate three pieces in a row before stopping. "No, no, you can't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat dinner! Sister-in-law, your small kitchen is also really powerful, and every time I come back, I don't have any refreshments. ”
"It's just that your niece loves to toss around, she can't do it, but she likes to mess with ideas, but you also know, although her new daughter-in-law is temporarily in charge of the house, she doesn't dare to do it too much, so when she thinks of any idea, let someone come home and say, let me send someone to try it out, so that I can send it to her to eat."
The third lady covered her mouth and chuckled, "Look at what the sister-in-law said, the sixth girl is coquettish with you!" It's also to let people report safety to their sister-in-law! After all, it's a married aunt. It's not easy to go back to your parents' house! But I sent a recipe to my sister-in-law, saying that you asked her for it, and no one could say anything against it. ”
Look at how smart other people's children are!
Her eldest sister wasn't that smart back then. I missed my mother, I was homesick, so I went back to my mother's house stupidly, at first my mother-in-law didn't say anything, she didn't think too much about it at that time, until later it was rumored that the prefect's married daughter relied on her father's official authority and didn't put her mother-in-law in her eyes at all. She was shocked to realize that something was wrong, but fortunately she found out in time. But it still took her a lot of effort to get things done.
"Hey! This is really different from being a father! The third lady suddenly sighed.
"Isn't it? From the day she was pregnant, she was worried about whether she would give birth to a boy or a girl. I am afraid that the child is not healthy and difficult to raise. ”
The third lady nodded like pounding garlic, "That's it, that is, if there are such restless people in the mansion, you have to be more vigilant." After speaking, she remembered that Aunt Zhou hadn't entered the door as a concubine yet! I used the food to make up for the past when I wanted to harm Mrs. Fan's one child and two lives.
Mrs. Fan didn't seem to think about it and said, "When the child is born, there will be more to worry about!" The child is naughty and worried, and the child is too quiet and worried. ”
If you are naughty, you will get into trouble, and if a weak child wants to be naughty, she can't be naughty. can only be quiet, so whether they are naughty or quiet, they are all worried. When I can go to school, I will have more things to worry about!
is a female baby, there are a lot of things to worry about, and the most important thing is marriage, and the boy is fine. Even if the husband and wife are not in harmony, there is always something to be busy with. But when my daughter's family is married, all I see is one acre and three points of land in the backyard, even if I want to broaden my horizons, it is difficult.
Either wives and concubines fight, or they will fight each other.
"Ah Zhao married at a young age, but her mother-in-law suddenly contracted a serious illness, and her sister-in-law was not healthy, so Du Xiang threw the burden to her as a child to carry, so how could someone not pinch the cold sweat for her!" Mrs. Fan is really worried about her daughter, but it is difficult to say that her daughter is already the wife of the Du family, even if she wants to send someone to help, there is no reason.
It's a shame that her daughter came up with this method, let people send the recipe back, ask her mother's cook to help her make it, and then ask her mother to send someone to send her over, she is young, greedy, not good to trouble her mother-in-law's cook, ask her mother's family to help, what's wrong?
There is a very reasonable reason for such a round trip, that is, Mrs. Du wants to be picky.
The third lady smiled and comforted Mrs. Fan: "Sister-in-law, don't worry!" The six girls are so smart, they will definitely be fine. ”
"Accept your good words!" Mrs. Fan took the opportunity to change the topic, and asked people to take the booklet she had sorted out these days, and after a while, she saw the maids holding a thick booklet, and Mrs. Fan opened the few families that made marks for the third lady to introduce, "The father of these girls is the same year as the third brother, and the status is equal, these two girls are the eldest daughters in the family, and they have been in office with their parents since they were children, and they are all very capable, this one is the second daughter, and her sister's in-laws are relatives of the second brother and sister......"
The third lady was slightly stunned, how did she save such a thick stack?
Mrs. Fan chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just a collection of portraits sent by various matchmakers, and then a piece of paper to simply write down the family history that the matchmaker said, and in the past two years, I have saved so much!" ”
Fan Amber was brought up by Mrs. Fan, she was lifted at a young age, and she has never decided on a marriage, and there are many people who want to recruit a son-in-law, but Mrs. Fan knows very well that the marriage of the eldest son must be completed with the nod of the old lady.
Therefore, although there were many portraits sent to her, there was no hope of becoming Van Amber's wife, and Mrs. Fan looked at the small elaborate portraits, and felt a little reluctant to throw them away, so she sorted them out, but did not expect them to come in handy here.
Mama Ding stepped forward and reported to Mrs. Fan the conversation between Aunt Jiang's mother and daughter, because it was about the five girls in the third room, Mrs. Fan asked Mama Ding not to hide it, and said directly in front of the third lady.
"This girl!" The third lady slapped the table with hatred when she heard this, "Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, two days ago, my lord sent a letter back, saying that he met an old friend in office, although the person has an official body but has not come out, the family is extremely wealthy, their husband and wife only have a baby bump, and they will enter Beijing next year to take the apricot list. ”
Mrs. Fan was puzzled: "You told their sisters?" ”
"No, but those aunts have all installed people in my courtyard, and in a few moments, they will all know about my courtyard!" The third lady sneered.
Mrs. Fan frowned when she heard this, "Brother and sister, did you do it on purpose?" ”
"Yes! Anyway, if they have money and are willing to spend it, let them scatter the money! Anyway, the information that their spies can get is what I deliberately let them know. ”
Mrs. Fan looked at the third lady for a long time before she smiled and glanced at her: "It's good that you know it in your heart, if you want to clean up the restless ones in the yard, just tell me." ”
"Cheng, then I'll be tired of my sister-in-law at that time!"
"You're still polite to me." Mrs. Fan asked her to put away the lacquer box on the table, "Take it back and eat it slowly, if you like it, tell me, and I'll have someone make it for you to send to you." ”
"Then dare to be kind, I will rely on my sister-in-law to eat and drink!"
After the third lady left, the newly arrived Chunxue blinked her eyes and asked incomprehensibly: "Mama, why did the five girls deliberately choose to commit trouble at this time?" ”
"You don't understand?"
"Well, I don't understand." Chunxue shook her head honestly.
Mama Ding glanced at the smiling maids around her, "Ask your sisters to go, if they can't answer, you can tell Mama again." ”
Chunxue obediently walked over and asked, Dong Qing smiled and bent her eyes, "The fifth girl is arrogant, and she is willing to marry a descendant whose father has an official body but no official position, so she deliberately chose to annoy her mother-in-law at this time, and this family affair will naturally not fall on her head!" ”
"The fifth girl is too self-righteous, right? How could she be sure that this family business would fall to her? There's a fourth girl above her, isn't there? ”
"Oops! She feels that she is more favored than the fourth girl, and the third master will definitely hold her good relatives in advance and pick her with her ex! It's just! There are three ladies here, even if the three masters are interested, the third lady has to nod! ”
Chunxue didn't understand what the brains of these five girls thought, since she knew that her marriage was in the hands of her mother-in-law, how could she deliberately provoke her mother-in-law again and again, making her unhappy?
"Yes! Even we Chunxue understand things, why can't the five girls figure it out? Mama Ding laughed, and the other maids also laughed, Chunxue scratched her head and looked at Mrs. Fan.
Mrs. Fan took a sip of tea and replied: "The truth couldn't be simpler, her aunt is favored, she has always been cherished by the third master, the third lady is a generous, Aunt Rong's people seem to have a lot of weight in the house, she thought that the third lady would not dare and would not be ruthless to her, in fact, the third lady just didn't bother to pay attention to her, but she was just a concubine!" And with the old lady here, do you think the old lady will allow one concubine after another to die? ”
There is a precedent for Fan Anlan, and the fifth girl is favored by the third master, and it is definitely not as strong as the eldest master's love for Fan Anlan, and the third master is in office, the fifth girl caused trouble in Beijing and was disposed of by the old lady, and the third master got the news more than half a month later! What's more, someone in the house has to send him a letter.
In the eyes of the five girls, if Aunt Rong, who is very capable, wants to send news outside, it is not as powerful as she thought, she wants to send news out, and she has to nod from the third lady, and even if she is out of the third room, she wants to go out of Fan's mansion, and Mrs. Fan's level!
Aunt Rong has always been very capable in front of her daughter, so naturally she will not expose her short words to her daughter.
When Mrs. Fan talks about this, Chunxue really understands! "Madam, then let's leave the second girl alone?"
"What are you doing? Let her toss! She is not as good as Fan Anlan, before Ah Zhao left the pavilion, didn't she still shout a lot outside the old lady's courtyard? Think the old lady doesn't know? It's just saving! Wait and see! If she is really instigated to die by someone with such a few words, we can't stop it if we want to, right? (To be continued)
