Chapter 22
At this time, the old lady was in a worse mood than Archer's.
It's rare to come to the long room to serve a bowl, and the people sitting next to him are disgusted by the broken house. Every time she recalls the tragic situation of the bonsai, the old lady feels cold in her head, and now she has a root disease: a cool breeze comes from Liao's forehead.
In addition, Fu Ying, who was "sick", always stared at her with penetrating little eyes, as if she knew the embarrassment in her heart, but she only looked at jokes with unfathomable profundity.
It makes you want to flip the table!
But for the glory of the Zhao family, for the sake of the fat water not flowing into the fields of outsiders, and for the benefits brought by Zhao Zilan who inherited the head of the family after winning the title, she still had to be patient.
The old lady seemed to have a stone stuffed into her stomach, and at this time, Mo said that she had no appetite, but her voice was a little tense, and she said with a stiff smile: "You don't have to make rules, sit down and eat together, our family doesn't pay attention to those false manners, I don't have a daughter under my knees, and my daughter-in-law is not the same as my own daughter?" ”
"Mother treats us sincerely, we don't know." The three of them greeted each other and entered the table together.
The speaker was moved with a little sincerity, and the listener had a bit of sincerity, and everyone knew it.
The old lady's face burned under Liao's cold glance.
Fu Ying smiled sarcastically, lowered his head and played with the pale blue tassels hanging from the fan.
It was the sarcasm on the corner of her lips when she lowered her eyes that became the last straw, and the old lady finally broke out after long-term patience.
"I see that the seven girls are very good-looking, they can eat and drink, it is said that there are seven or eight dishes for every meal recently, and the snacks and fruits are not less, so it is also called sick? Didn't Song joke with me that day? ”
In a word, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the hall was suffocated.
Song didn't expect that the old lady would ask in front of so many people, and just as she was about to answer, she was preempted by Liao: "What does this mean by Mrs. in-law?" ”
I've long seen that the old demon woman is not pleasing to the eye, and I am worried that I can't find stubble, and there is no door to hell for you to break in!
"Do you think my daughter is lying to you and cursing her own daughter-in-law? You think she's as sick as you are! ”
"You, who do you say is sick!"
"You're not sick, and you still want to tie up your granddaughter to an old man? Tiger venom doesn't eat children, you also deserve to be a person! I see that you are blinded by balsamic oil, and you have added so many years! ”
The old lady doesn't let people on weekdays, but at this time the "root of the disease" is committed: under Liao's gaze, she began to feel that the wind in front of her forehead was not good. wanted to return the favor, but she didn't make sense when she mentioned the forced marriage. In front of others, she can still say that she is for Fu Ying, but in front of Liao's family, she is afraid that if she can't say a word, she will get a mouthful.
The old lady blinked and didn't say a word, Liao Shi felt angry when she looked at it, and slapped it on the table, the cups and dishes on the table that shook the table jingled, and the soup of the vegetarian fish came out.
Only Zhao Liufang and Zhao Zilan on the other side of the screen had never seen Liao's madness, and they were all stunned.
Unexpectedly, their aunt and grandmother returned to the Zhao family to drag the 258,000 yuan, and they were so cowardly in front of their in-laws, and they didn't let out a single fart that was yelled.
Zhao Liufang was disdainful, but he got up and showed a sweet smile to Liao, and gently persuaded: "Your old man is angry, they are all a family, why do you ......?"
Zhao Liufang is handsome, and her smile makes people feel soft.
But the two girls on the tip of Zhao's heart are granddaughters except for their granddaughters, where can they still see others in their eyes?
In the end, she was polite to the little girl, put away her words, and only asked the third aunt: "Whose girl is this, there are no rules, does she have the right to intervene when I speak?" ”
Zhao Liufang was bored, her face was flushed, and she didn't stand or sit.
The third aunt hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "The in-laws are angry, my mother-in-law is just joking with her sister-in-law, and she has no malicious intent." ”
Liao snorted coldly.
She had wanted to beat the old witch for a long time! Now I'm waiting for her to give her a chance! But this old thing wilted at a critical moment, and it will only wilt, without any rigidity, so that she can't look down on it!
Liao stood at the table and stared at the old lady majestically.
The old lady really felt that she had fallen home with dignity, and she gritted her teeth and let it go, she didn't believe that the Liao family could still kill people!?
Just as he was about to get up to speak, Fu Ying came to Liao with a smile, took her arm and said, "Grandmother, you are really, you can't help but want to joke with my grandmother when you see her joking with my mother." ”
Liao felt sorry for Fu Ying, but now she has a perverse temperament, which is more in line with her appetite than the dignified and weak lady in the past, and she likes her even more.
It was Fu Ying who pulled her, and she turned into a finger twist again: "Okay, I'm joking with your grandmother." ”
Joke? The old lady is about to kneel under your scare, okay?
The second and third aunts all looked at the old lady with red faces worriedly.
Fu Ying threw a reassuring smile of "don't worry, you're safe" to the old lady.
Old lady......
Wouldn't it be clean to let the tigress slaughter her! Who wants you to save me!
After all, it was in the long house, and there were Song Jitang and Zhao Zilan and others on the other side of the screen. And today's purpose has not yet been achieved. The old lady had no choice but to suppress this breath and ordered, "Let's eat." ”
Everyone moved their chopsticks.
The family that was originally disturbed and had no appetite was brightened up after a try. I didn't expect that Mother Qian would have such a ability to find such a good cook for the long house.
Although the chef was notified of the dishes added at short notice, each dish was carefully cooked, although the ingredients were the same, but the dishes were not repeated, and they were delicious dishes with both color and flavor. In fact, the Fu family is not only Fu Ying, but everyone including the second aunt and the third aunt are also fading out of their mouths.
The third aunt quietly paid attention, planning to turn around and take the cook to the big kitchen.
The old lady didn't move her chopsticks at this time, and kept looking at the screen while holding her breath.
Zhao Zilan, that idiot, people can't cross the screen, who can stop you from talking?
The old lady's anxiety and the few people at the table all saw it. The third aunt understood, pouted secretly, and said in her heart that she hadn't done enough today? The second aunt wrinkled her brows, her sister Yun's marriage has not yet been settled, so it is better to set a lover and get married in three years.
"Grandmother also thinks that the screen embroidered by the fourth sister herself is very good?" Fu Ying put down the chopsticks, and the handkerchief touched the corners of his lips and asked with a smile.
The old lady didn't pay attention to the pattern on the screen at all, and it was only after Fu Ying said this that she took a closer look, it turned out that today was a lotus screen, and the dew in the green lotus leaves on it was lifelike as if it was about to drip on her hands.
The second aunt exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Sister Yi had such bright needlework. ”
One sentence seemed to open the conversation, and the female dependents who used the same meal, especially the third aunt and the second aunt, all chatted, as if the unpleasantness that happened just now was an illusion.
On the other side of the screen, Song Jitang, Song Zheng, Song Jun and Zhao Zilan also talked.
Because Zhao Zilan knew the identities of Song Jitang and others, he was inevitably a little restrained at first. And Song Jitang and the others also saw the old lady's intention to bring Zhao Zilan in, but they were silent in their hearts, and only gossiped with him.
Song Jitang read poetry and books, although he didn't say much, every time he put the finishing touch, Zhao Zilan didn't dare to show off his knowledge, so he turned to praise today's dishes. He does have some research on vegetarian cuisine, and he can tell the origin of almost every dish.
The young man's voice was low, but not loud, but it was particularly noticeable among the children in the room.
On the side of the screen, the third aunt flattered: "Brother Lan is so well-informed at such a young age, it is really rare. ”
The second aunt also cooperated: "Yes, there is such a talent in the in-laws' wife's family, which shows the family heritage." ”
The old lady listened to it very well, and Zhao Zilan finally didn't embarrass her. What matters now is Fu Ying's reaction.
She looked at Fu Ying's expression, and when she saw that she really didn't shake the fan, she was fascinated by what she heard, so she smiled proudly.
How can a girl not have a spring? Such a handsome and talented young man was in front of her, and she didn't believe Fu Ying.
The sparkle in Fu Ying's eyes and the smugness in the old lady's expression were clearly seen by everyone present. Song couldn't help frowning a little worriedly, for fear that his daughter would "open" the wrong object at the beginning of her love.
Fu Ying nodded approvingly after Zhao Zilan's words: "It's amazing!" ”
The old lady was excited, could the seven girls be moved by Zhao Zilan, isn't this all easy!
"My chef is amazing!" Fu Ying's eyes were bright.
The old lady was stunned.
Zhao Zilan, who was a little proud on the other side of the screen, was also stunned.
"I thought that the so-called vegetarian food was just a casual meal, but I didn't expect these dishes to have such a origin, my chef knows so much, and he can do everything, he is really amazing!"
Miss Seven, your focus seems to be a little wrong, what's going on with your adoring tone?!
The old lady silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood and remedied: "It's also a shame that Brother Lan knows how to taste and actually said so many sources, otherwise we wouldn't know." ”
"Yes, thanks to Cousin Lan, didn't I use a shotgun as a burning stick and snub the celebrity chef in vain? Mother, go back and allocate half of my monthly money to give the cook a raise, but don't let him go, just leave him in our small kitchen. ”
The third aunt was also depressed. She just wanted to get people to the big kitchen, and she was going to fail before she could make a move? She can't compete with the Song family for a cook!
That Zhao Zilan, what nonsense!
The Song family couldn't help but smile and endure the internal injury, how can you look at the natural black daughter at this time, where is there no nodding?
"Okay, it's up to you, as long as he's willing to be on an errand for a day, my mother will keep him for a day."
Fu Ying coquettishly hugged Song's arm: "Thank you, mother." ”
The mother and daughter are so close, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and others all like it. Liao also let go of the heart that wanted to beat the old lady just now, and smiled relaxedly.
Zhao Liufang pursed her lips, first looking at the screen, and then at Fu Ying. Such a girl who only knows how to talk about her tongue is actually loved? It's too embarrassing to lose the dignity of the big family! Where is she worthy of her brother Lan?
Zhao Liufang's disdainful eyes were keenly captured by Fu Ying.
But she is the one who doesn't care about the eyes of others the most, and she turns her head proudly, not even giving a look.
Zhao Liufang's face was flushed, and his heart was really as uncomfortable as ten thousand ants gnawing. This person is so annoying!

"Are they gone?" The old lady stretched her neck to look outside the house, and when she saw that Mama Jiang was on the Danqi, she couldn't help but ask.
Mama Jiang saluted as soon as she entered the door, and said with a smile: "Let's go, the Song family has gone back." ”
"Amitabha Buddha ......" The old lady folded her hands and bowed a few times out of thin air: "I finally went back, our house has been full of smoke and miasma in the past few days, and the Song family has no rules." How the hell did you hear that? ”
"Back to the old lady, the old slave vaguely heard that it was the master of the in-laws who persuaded the eldest lady to return before leaving. The eldest lady did not nod. ”
The old lady snorted coldly: "She can't give up this home, I have made up my mind to spend my life with her, won't I have no playthings when she goes back?" ”
Mama Jiang smiled and bowed her head: "What the old lady said is, where is she your opponent?" The tone changed, and he said with a smile: "Old lady, there is one more thing, August 17 is the day when the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty set off to return home. You see......"
"Well, we should express our gratitude, after all, it was also the people who sent back the corpse of our man."
"Thanks? The old lady wants to send something? ”
"No, you don't have to send something, why don't you come and have a light meal in the following post." The old lady squinted, and secretly said that if she had a good relationship with the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she might have another way to go in the future.
Mama Jiang naturally understood what the old lady meant, but she was also a little hesitant: "Old lady, you don't have to ask the old lady about this?" ”
"No, you just do what I say." The old lady was impatient when she thought of Fu Dongheng, and waved her hand and said: "That elm pimple head, now he can only carve wood, and his brain is full of sawdust, he knows a fart!" You are worried about this matter, so go to the third family and ask her to prepare to take someone to the guest house to make a post. ”
"Yes." Hearing that the old lady had a tendency to start scolding every day, Mama Jiang hurriedly excused herself.
When Mama Jiang arrived at the third room, Fu Ying and Fu Minchu were walking in the small garden.
"Fifth brother's complexion is much better today. The weather is too hot, don't move around much under the poisonous sun at noon, and look dizzy. Later, when the heat comes up, let's go back to eating herbal tea. I've got a good cook, and you'll have lunch with you in the East Cross Courtyard. ”
Fu Ying's tone was easy-going, her voice was delicate, and she was dressed in a plain white gauze and walked through the flowers with a fan in her hand, which made Fu Min on the side look pleasing to the eye at first glance, and couldn't help but smile gently: "I thought the seventh sister would hate me." ”
"Hate you? Why? Is it fast to let relatives hurt enemies? ”
Fu Minchu sneered, feeling like he had met a bosom friend: "Brother Fang first persuaded me to come and explain to you quickly, I said I don't have to come, you and I are both frank gentlemen, since we are frank in our hearts, why do we need to say more?" You know that I didn't order someone to drugged me, and I also know that you won't misunderstand me, this is the tacit understanding. ”
Fu Ying shook his head and said with a smile: "Fifth brother is wrong. I'm not a gentleman. ”
"And you're a villain?"
"I'm not a villain, I'm a woman." Fu Ying added: "It's comparable to a villain. ”
Fu Min smiled again when he heard this: "Seventh sister, I thought you would be in a slump...... Now that you are so transparent, I can ask if I hold back. ”{
Having vaguely guessed what he was going to ask, Fu Ying smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you ask." ”
"What was written in my uncle's suicide note that day?"
The two stopped and stood beside a rockery.
And among the flowers in the distance behind the rockery, Archer, who was bowing down, tensed his nerves, and was busy holding his breath and listening attentively.
