Chapter 483: Greetings
The house on the other side of Chaoyang Gate is lively and lively.
Everyone is gathering around the table and drinking laba porridge.
Eat, sleep, and speak.
Yuan finished drinking Laba porridge, put down the spoon before praising again and again, and said with a smile: "No wonder my mother is happy, the fourth brother and sister This Laba porridge is delicious, not only sweet and glutinous, but also sweet but not greasy." I don't know how the four brothers and sisters did it, and one day they also pointed to the mother-in-law on the stove on the other side of Xinglin Hutong. ”
Zhou Shaojin also put the bowl and said softly: "It's not a difficult thing. The sister-in-law asked the mother-in-law to come over to find Jasper at any time, and now Jasper is in charge of things in the kitchen! ”
She is not the mother-in-law on the stove, why should she deal with the mother-in-law on the stove in Xinglin Hutong?
Zhou Shaojin pushed back neither softly nor hard.
Old Madam Guo's eyes flashed slightly, but she did not speak.
Qiu bowed his head and said nothing.
Yuan was secretly surprised.
She didn't expect that Zhou Shaojin looked soft and weak, but she was a person who hid needles in her mouth. originally wanted to press her, but in the end she rebelled.
In the past, there was still less contact!
Yuan Shi thought about it, put away his slackness, knew that his words and deeds today were inferior, and remedied with a smile: "Then it's good to be in a hurry, I will ask the mother-in-law on the stove in Xinglin Hutong to come to find Jasper, come to your side to secretly teach, and also cook a few dishes that my mother likes." ”
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Mrs. Guo.
Mrs. Guo smiled but did not speak.
She knew what Yuan was here for.
It's almost the New Year, and she came to pick her up and go back to Xinglin Hutong.
Otherwise, when those relatives and friends come to pay New Year's greetings, where will her face rest?
Old Madam Guo slowly drank another sip of porridge. Only then did he say: "When you get older, you don't want to change." I only have a few dishes that come and go. It doesn't have to be that trouble. ”
The implication is that you are the eldest daughter-in-law, you have been married to a family for so many years, and it is not clear what your mother-in-law likes to eat, how do you honor your mother-in-law?
Yuan's face turned slightly pale.
Qiu Shi couldn't bear it, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Mother, hasn't Ah Sheng's Laba porridge been delivered yet?" This girl. Net will coax people. That day, I said that I would make laba porridge and send it over, but there is no shadow of it until now......"
Zhou Shaojin didn't like Yuan, but she didn't want to embarrass Qiu, who was always kind to her, so she responded with a smile: "I'll let the Spring Festival Gala go and see." Maybe someone has arrived. Still at the door. ”
Her voice was not broken. A little maid ran in panting.
"Old lady. Fourth Mrs., "She was so anxious that she was about to cry." "The father-in-law in the palace came to pass the decree, saying that the palace would reward Laba porridge immediately, saying that the queen would reward the old lady by name......"
Old Madam Guo's face sank.
The house in the newly opened mansion is like this, the maid and the woman have never seen the world, and they can panic at the slightest trivial.
Zhou Shaojin also felt it.
She didn't wait for Mrs. Guo to speak, and said in a deep voice: "The old lady and I are both at home, why are you panicking?" Stand up and speak well! ”
When the maid saw that the people sitting in the room did not move at all, her hanging heart fell. He took a few deep breaths, and his voice clearly repeated what had happened.
Yuan's heart set off turbulent waves.
Every Laba Festival, the emperor will send his father-in-law to deliver Laba porridge to the humerus minister in the court.
Cheng Jing of the Cheng family is a cabinet minister and lives in Xinglin Hutong, so the porridge is sent to Xinglin Hutong.
Now the inner palace has passed down the decree and sent Laba porridge to Mrs. Guo...... In other words, Mrs. Guo enjoys her own honor.
But when did the old lady register with the queen?
In the early years, when she got married, the old lady never entered the palace except for the big court meeting on the first day of junior high school. Even if you enter the palace, you will go and return quickly, and you have never stayed in the inner camp, how can you ...... now? I haven't been in Beijing for more than ten years, and only a few months after entering Beijing can make the queen worry about it...... The most important thing is that she is worried that Mrs. Guo will be harsher on her because of this honor, and even affect her status in Cheng Jing's mind because of her influence on Cheng Jing!
Yuan's heart was frightened and uneasy, but he stood up silently and without water, and smiled and instructed Mama Shi, who was serving on the side: "Go and prepare the incense case and the red envelope to receive the order." ”
The incense case is used when receiving orders, and the red envelopes are used to reward the fathers-in-law who send Laba porridge.
But no one in the house moved.
Mrs. Guo lowered her eyelids.
The maids looked at Zhou Shaojin.
Qiu anxiously tugged at Yuan's sleeve.
This is Chaoyang Gate, not Xinglin Hutong.
Yuan realized it later.
Then drowned by the tide of anger.
She is the eldest daughter-in-law of this family and the patriarch of the Cheng family. Can't she even do such a thing?
What did Shaojin know about that week?
She's helping Zhou Shaojin!
How can the mother-in-law say that she is more arrogant!
The more Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became, and his fingertips began to tremble.
Zhou Shaojin didn't look at her.
In her previous life, she knew how domineering the Yuan family was, and she could let her do other things, but having a home of her own was her dream in two lives, and no one would be allowed to destroy it.
She instructed the maid: "Go and tell the steward to prepare incense and red envelopes." ”
A hint of pride flashed in the girl's eyes.
When they first entered the house, Mama Shang told them that they were on an errand in Chaoyangmen, and if they took the monthly example of Chaoyangmen, they had to know who they were doing on an errand and who was sending their months. She didn't run around, and she was right.
The little maid curtsied and hurriedly retreated.
Zhou Shaojin smiled and said, "Mother, you have to go in and change your clothes." ”
In her previous life, she had also entered the palace and received the decree.
Mrs. Guo smiled and nodded, and was helped into the inner room by Zhou Shaojin, and asked Zhou Shaojin quietly: "How did I answer the order when I told you last time, do you remember?" ”
"Yes." Zhou Shaojin felt strange in her heart, and repeated what Mrs. Guo told her at that time.
Mrs. Guo nodded with satisfaction, dressed up according to the product, and led Zhou Shaojin to wait in the warm pavilion at the door with the Yuan family and the Qiu family.
After a while, Father-in-law Qian from Cining Palace came with a little father-in-law.
Except for Yizhi. There is also a bowl of cold laba porridge.
Mrs. Guo and the others knelt down to listen to the decree, thanked them, and accepted the decree.
Father-in-law Qian, who had read out the holy decree with a solemn expression just now, suddenly seemed to be a different person, his waist was hunched, his face was also smiling, and he smiled at Mrs. Guo diligently: "Old lady, we haven't seen each other for some years, right?" Yesterday, Mrs. Peng Cheng entered the palace and said that your old man came to the capital, and the queen mother only knew. No, let people appreciate Laba porridge today. It's still your old man's blessing, a three-jinshi. No, a five-jinshi. The old lady Shao and the old lady Xun who went are also jinshi. I heard that the grandson was Xie Yuanlang of Nan Zhili last year. Previously the head of the case. Oh, looking at this dynasty, no one is so blessed as an old lady. The queen also said that when Mrs. Peng Cheng entered the palace, she invited you to enter the palace together. Let the queen mother and Mrs. Peng Chengbo also meet - now Peng Chengbo's prince is more and more uncontrolled. It's the Queen's Mother. It's often helpless. What the hell is this? ”
Mrs. Peng Cheng is the mother of the queen's mother.
Peng Chengbo is the younger brother of the queen's mother, and he is the only younger brother.
Mrs. Guo smiled: "The father-in-law is serious. It's just the children fighting for themselves. When my father-in-law went back, he helped me thank the queen. Speaking of which, the old woman must go with Mrs. Pengcheng to greet the queen. Then he personally sent two big red seals to Father-in-law Qian.
Father-in-law Qian walked away with a smile on his face.
Old Madam Guo's expression also faded.
Yuan Shi showed hesitation and said, "Mother, why did the queen suddenly think of you?" ”
"I can't say that I suddenly remembered it." Mrs. Guo said, "In the past, when your second uncle taught His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study, the queen mother was very good with your second aunt who died of illness, and I met me a few times. This time, I may have heard that our family was divided, and they wanted to call me in and ask! Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of me after Mrs. Peng Cheng entered the palace. ”
Yuan couldn't help but feel weak for a while when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll go with you then, right?" ”
"No need." Old Madam Guo said, "It's better to let Shaojin accompany me-I don't know what the queen thinks about this matter yet!" ”
Yuan wanted to speak and stopped.
Old Madam Guo glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I agreed to the matter of dividing the sect." If the queen asks, I know what to say. ”
"Mother!" Yuan was ashamed and ashamed.
Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "Okay, okay." Today's Laba Festival, everyone should be happy. Shaojin, you go and take the porridge rewarded by the queen to the kitchen, and wait for Dalang and them to share the food together when they come over. ”
Cheng Jing and Cheng Wei are both in the yamen, and Cheng Xu and Cheng Rang are in the school, and they will not go to the yamen until the afternoon and leave school.
Zhou Shaojin smiled and should be.
Cheng Sheng sent someone to bring Laba porridge over.
Zhou Shaojin just gave a reward, filled a small jar of Laba porridge made here in Chaoyangmen as a return gift, and sent people away, Cheng Zheng sent someone to send Laba porridge over...... By noon, the house was already full of all kinds of porridge, and the news from Jining also spread to Chaoyangmen and the ears of Mrs. Guo and others.
Mrs. Guo slapped her palm on the kang table with a "snap", and said to Yuan: "What are you usually doing?" For such a big thing, I didn't hear any wind at all. What are you usually doing at the Yuan family and the Fang family? Who among the parents doesn't know what to do? Your eyes are fascinated by wealth? The heart is clouded by calculations? In the end of the day, you don't know anything you should know, and you know everything you shouldn't know......"
was scolded by her mother-in-law in front of her two younger brothers and daughters-in-law, and one of them was Zhou Shaojin, whom she looked down on...... Yuan's heart is dead.
Qiu is also a daughter-in-law, so she can naturally understand Yuan's mood, she dragged Zhou Shaojin out of the banquet room, and said in a low voice: "At this time, let's avoid it, so as not to lose the face of the sister-in-law." ”
She wanted to have a light on her face, why not do something serious!
Zhou Shaojin slandered in his heart, and went to the tearoom with Qiu to drink tea.
Cheng Zheng asked people to bring a letter over, saying that Gu Xu had a fellow worker in the pedestrian department, and he had made an appointment to meet the other party, and he would know what had happened in Jining at that time.
Yuan Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Cheng Zheng is her daughter, and such hard work can be regarded as compensating for her mistakes.
Old Madam Guo didn't appreciate it, glanced at Yuan coldly, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't raise Ah Zheng for you at the beginning!" ”
