Chapter 170: Pomp
The eldest aunt and grandmother looked stunned, and went to the border for them, but they didn't expect the eldest brother to help the big house.
Their family went to the border to endure hardships, the big house was divided, and they also went to the rich land to eat fragrant and drink spicy food?
The aunt and grandmother couldn't hold back their grievances anymore, and tears flowed down their eyes.
The old lady looked annoyed, "Enough, in addition to crying, you know how to cry, you have nothing to drink less water in the future, it all comes out of your eyes, in your heart, my Wu'an Hou Mansion is the soft persimmon, let them pinch it if they want?" β
"It's also the son of the in-law, her Mrs. Liu is partial to the big house, mean to you three rooms, isn't her big daughter-in-law filial, I want to see, you are not in front of you, how is she filial!"
The old lady wanted to rectify the Liu family for a long time, but in the face of her aunt and grandmother, she tolerated it in every way, and now that the family is separated, she is still out of the house, what kind of affection does the old lady have?
Transfer the eldest aunt's and grandmother's family to the border, and send the Liu family's big house to a rich place, judging from her to the Liu family's big house, if they are truly filial to Mrs. Liu, it will definitely be the sun hitting the west.
Verbal filial piety, saying nice things, it's okay to pinch your shoulders twice, and it's always someone else's business to buy something and be filial.
When there is only her in front of her, I will see if Mrs. Liu will be mean, and at that time, she will regret it and cry.
Not half a year, at most a year, is definitely the end of illness and death.
As for the big house of the Liu family, he is so ruthless and greedy for money, can he not be greedy for ink when he goes to office, as long as he sends someone to keep an eye on it, verify it is true, and investigate it immediately!
The person was recommended by the Hou Ye, and he was also the one who investigated and prosecuted, this is responsible for the court, the emperor will only reward and will not be angry, and if the Hou Ye recommends someone in the future, the emperor will only trust and will not question.
The best of both worlds, the old lady doesn't mind the Liu family's big house enjoying a few days of comfort.
The old lady's plan in her heart, it was impossible to tell Aunt SΓΉ and Grandma, and she couldn't guess it, she just felt that the Hou Mansion had sacrificed too much for her family, and she really didn't have the face to see the Hou Ye.
The third lady sat aside, extremely speechless, she had never seen such a weak woman, she had never seen such a foolish man as the eldest aunt, what the father and mother said, did not dare to refute a word, the persimmon was used to picking up the soft, and the soft persimmon was gone, and the hard persimmon was enough for Mrs. Liu to eat.
The third lady smiled, pulled the eldest aunt and grandmother to sit down, and said with a smile, "You came back today to tell the old lady that you have broken up, the eldest aunt will take office, and you have to leave after the New Year, where do you live now?" β
"In the courtyard south of the city," the aunt replied.
The third lady tugged at the corners of her mouth, looking at the old lady's dark face, she felt that she shouldn't ask this question, so she changed the topic and said, "Send a little maid to the south of the city to tell the eldest aunt in a while, the house is busy with the eldest girl getting married, I can't greet it alone, you stay and help me for two days." β
The eldest aunt nodded without the slightest hesitation.
The third lady glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's really simple, it's not appropriate to wear this on the big day, I still have two newly made clothes, and even the matching headdress is brand new, and you haven't worn it yet, so you will wear it first." β
The aunt's eyes were moist and she nodded lightly.
At this time, An Rong and Shen Anxi found time to give their aunt and grandmother a gift, and it was not appropriate for them to say hello on that occasion.
The aunt and grandmother nodded and chuckled, praised the two of them a few words, and the atmosphere in the room became lively.
The third lady was sitting in the room, and from time to time a maid came in and whispered a few words in her ear, and the third lady casually ordered.
Waiting for the kitchen housekeeper's mother to come in, the third lady frowned, generally trivial, the little maid came, why did the housekeeper's mother come.
"What's wrong?" The third lady asked.
The housekeeper's mother saluted one by one, and then said, "Fang Cai slave maid went to the drunken fairy building to invite two cooks, who thought that the shopkeeper agreed, but was robbed by the prince of Zhuang Wang, and he wanted to feast a few young masters ......of the family on that day." β
Zuixianlou only lends three cooks a day, and if it is lent to others, the Hou Mansion will not be able to invite it.
The third lady frowned, turned her head to look at the old lady and said, "Old lady, what should you do about this, and you can't go to the Drunken Immortal Mansion to theorize, the Drunken Immortal Mansion will not offend the Zhuang Wangfu for our Hou Mansion, but if there is no chef in charge of the Drunken Immortal Building, the wedding banquet of our Hou Mansion will definitely fall behind." β
In Kyoto, everything is about pomp and circumstance, and so is the ten-mile red makeup, as well as the wine banquet.
The dishes at the banquet are also the capital of people's conversation, so every time they get married, they will invite one or two chefs.
Shen Anyun's dowry can only be regarded as average, and it is very ordinary, so the banquet must be brilliant, and the Hou Mansion will be faced.
The best restaurant in Kyoto is the Drunken Immortal Building, but the chef doesn't borrow it, and the Hou Mansion can't invite it.
As soon as he thought of the prince of Zhuang Wang, the Hou Mansion became angry, he beat the second young master yesterday, and he came to rob the chef today, did the Hou Mansion offend him?
Seeing that the old lady and the third lady were very embarrassed, An Rong's brows furrowed, and he scolded the prince of Zhuang in his heart.
"Grandmother, I heard that there are eight major cuisines in Kyoto, and although those restaurants cannot be compared with Zuixianlou, they are also very distinctive, why don't we invite the chefs of the eight major cuisines to come back, and there are two specialties on each table? I think it's better than one or two specialty dishes from the chef of Drunken Immortal Building," An Rong thought about it and said.
Without waiting for the old lady to agree, the third lady smiled first, "It's still Anrong's flexible head, it's usually difficult to eat several major cuisines at once, and the specialty dishes of the eight major cuisines will definitely make our Hou Mansion's wedding banquet famous." β
The old lady also thought that this was a good idea, but she was still a little worried, "Usually these eight major cuisines fight openly and secretly, and they come to our Hou Mansion together, I am afraid that they will fight in the kitchen." β
This is really a thing, peers have been competing for a long time, the eight major cuisines have always wanted to dominate, but the characteristics of others, that cannot be erased, so they have been fighting.
If you want to come back, you may definitely stage a scene of grabbing vegetables and fighting art in the big kitchen of the Hou Mansion.
But isn't it spectacular for the eight major cuisines to compete on the same stage?
An Rong thought very well, but the third wife and the old lady were still hesitating, if they invited the chefs of the eight major cuisines to come back, the cost would far exceed the budget, and Shen Anyun was just a concubine in the end, this point had to be taken care of, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion could not be lost, but it could not overshadow An Rong and Shen Anyu, who were going to marry in the future.
To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of money.
The chef of the drunken immortal building is 500 taels a day, and the chef of the eight major cuisines is 350 taels a day.
Thirty tables of banquets, at least two for each cuisine, that is, five thousand six hundred taels.
It costs more than 4,000 taels for nothing.
The previous plan was to have two drunken Xianlou specialties on a table, and let the mother-in-law in the kitchen do the rest, and the good plan was all disrupted by the sudden killing of the Zhuang Wang Shizi, and the Zui Xian Lou was even more hateful, and the cook came to the Hou Mansion and changed the hexagram when he met the Zhuang Wang Shizi.
The old lady frowned, hesitating how to deal with it.
The third wife wants to invite one of the eight major cuisines, but the cost is also a lot, and there are ingredients, which are all money.
After a wedding banquet, it will cost eight or nine thousand taels of silver, to say the least.
For Shen Anyun's daughter to marry, it is not worth spending so much.
"Not to mention how much it costs, there are also powerful people behind the eight major cuisines, and they may not all be invited," the third lady frowned.
How many banquets have the Hou Mansion held, and it is so difficult this time, but this is the first banquet after the Hou Mansion was promoted, and the standard must not be lost, how many people look at it.
An Rong is also worried, her mention yì is very good, but the eight major cuisines may not necessarily buy it, and people who open restaurants do not lack that little money.
An Rong sat there thinking about it, and Shen Anxi put forward a few opinions, all of which were rejected by the third wife.
An Rong's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said with a smile, "I have a way to invite the eight chefs to our Hou Mansion without spending a tael of silver." β
An Rong's eyes lit up and he smiled brightly.
Shen Anxi twisted his eyebrows, looking like you are joking, how can anyone work for you in vain, "Fourth sister, do you want to ask the Queen Mother to make a decree?" β
She couldn't think of any other good way than to force people to come.
An Rong's forehead slid down the black line, "In that case, I might as well directly ask the Queen Mother to give me two imperial chefs, believe me, I can definitely invite it." β
An Rong was full of confidence, pulled Shen Anxi to give the old lady a blessing, and quickly slipped out without waiting for the old lady to speak.
The third lady looked at the old lady with a helpless expression, and said with a smile, "The day after tomorrow is a big day, tomorrow will hold a banquet in the afternoon, and some dishes will be prepared in the morning, but it can't be delayed." β
The old lady was also helpless.
Mother Sun stood aside and chuckled, "The four girls are doing things, and the slave maid thinks it is credible." β
The old lady glanced at Mother Sun, the Buddhist beads in her hand moved lightly, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
Outside the door, Shen Anxi was dragged away, with a puzzled expression, "Fourth sister, are we going to leave the house?" β
An Rong shook his head lightly, saw an empty-handed maid passing by, and ordered, "Go to Xiyuan, find the second young master, just say that I have something urgent to find him, let him go to Linglong Garden and wait for us." β
The maid blessed her body, and when she heard the word urgent, she didn't dare to delay, so she ran away.
An Rong tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't need to be in such a hurry.
Shen Anxi thought that he would go directly to Linglong Garden, but who would have thought that An Rong would go to the big kitchen.
At this hour, the mother-in-law in the kitchen was busy preparing lunch, and when she saw An Rong coming in, she hurriedly stopped what she was doing, and looked at her baba.
What these mothers-in-law and maids are most afraid of now is that the girls in the house come to visit the door, they don't know anything, they don't want to try, they cut their hands last time, and they are burned, and their lives are not good.
No matter how uncomfortable they are, these mothers-in-law don't dare to treat An Rong and Shen Anxi slowly, just kidding, these two are the top of the old lady's heart, and the big kitchen is now managed by the third wife.
The housekeeper's mother stepped forward and saluted while wiping her hands, "The kitchen is dirty, why are the fourth and sixth girls here?" If you want to eat, let the maid give you an order. β
An Rong glanced at the room and said with a smile, "Where is the wine cellar in the mansion?" β
