"Ah Jiao is useful." Fang Qi pinched her arm in the past: "I haven't seen you for a while, how much lazy meat you have raised, and the method I told you is all in vain." ”

Xu Mingjiao let in a little, and didn't forget to drag the eight-treasure candied fruit box over a little, but what came out was disgusted: "Why does this candied fruit taste not as good as in the past?" ”

Fang Qi looked at it and understood: "Let you take something to eat, this is the candied fruit that Zhou Xiaoniang bought from outside, the picture is that the champion candied fruit is famous, it is not as good as the pickled candied fruit in my house, and where can it be pickled by Aunt Wen herself?" ”

"I see." Xu Mingjiao closed the lid of the eight treasure boxes, and still leaned back to talk to Fang Qi: "I have heard the second brother say, Ah Qi, you almost married the Peng family, fortunately, you are not confused, and listened to the second brother's advice, but the second brother is also confused, thinking that this matter is completely over, today I saw that you were not even allowed to go to the ancient building garden, and I knew that you completely offended my aunt because of this matter." ”

Fang Qi said this through the handkerchief, and suddenly realized that if it weren't for what would happen in the future because she heard the system say, I'm afraid she wouldn't have listened to Second Brother Xu's dissuasion, what is this called? This is called obsession, and this is called self-defeating.

Mingjiao is not wiser than Mingxi, but as a beautiful girl, the education she receives is very different from that of her brother, and Xu Mingxi is no smarter than his sister when it comes to things in the inner house, for example, Xu Mingxi doesn't know that Mrs. Wang is warm and cold to Fang Qi, but Mingjiao knows that her aunt is by no means the same as she seems.

She took Fang Qi's hand and shook it twice: "My mother and aunt have different temperaments, my mother looks strict, but she doesn't hide treachery in her heart, how many things are taken from Ning Xiangzhizhong, how many times has my sister been punished for kneeling?" But I'm not afraid of my mother at all, but I'm afraid that she is more of a little girl. The second brother is because of the situation of my family, thinking that the housewife of any family is the same as my mother, and Ah Qi will definitely not say that his aunt is not in front of the second brother, so he can only endure his grievances. But if my aunt is really excessive, don't forget to tell me that I can still find some way to protect Ah Qi. ”

"You, don't move your limbs and bare mind, look at your waist is about to grow fat!" Fang Qi smiled and pushed Ming Jiao.

"Then you move your limbs and don't move your mind, Peng Zizhan can also marry? His mother pointed to the east, he didn't dare to go west, and his mother was not virtuous, you just didn't like to use your brain, and almost tossed yourself into the sludge pit. ”

"That's it, today I admit defeat, I don't compare my eloquence with you, Ah Jiao, I really have something to ask you for help today."

"What's the busy?" Xu Mingjiao was serious and sat up straight.

"I'll say it first, if you help me with this, it will be detrimental to the second sister." Fang Qi has always regarded Xu Mingxi's brother and sister as different, of course, she will not think of using Mingjiao, and her dealings with Mingjiao have always been rather straightforward.

Xu Mingjiao thought for a while: "I don't like Sister Zi either, but after all, I don't have hatred with her, I have to know what kind of damage you will have to Sister Zi if your business is done." ”

"You can't marry Ge Erlang."

Xu Mingjiao didn't hesitate this time: "If that's the case, I'll help you, Ge Erlang and Sister Qi are not a good match at all, Sister Zi is a bunch of cow and pretending to be fragrant flowers, and my aunt has to help her make the Ge family a full house." If my mother hadn't stopped me, I would have stirred up this marriage a long time ago, but Ah Qi knows that I am not afraid of heaven and earth, my own aunt is not an ordinary person, and I am afraid of my mother's golden rod. ”

Qin Fangzi is also not afraid of heaven and earth, but she is afraid of her grandmother, and she is also very afraid of Aunt Xu, not so afraid of Xu Mingjiao, but she has never been close to her, and she is a little envious and jealous.

Xu Mingjiao doesn't like Qin Fangzi, because of Qin Fangzi's arrogant temperament, the more she grows up, she still knows how to be hypocritical, and she behaves like a virtuous and virtuous person in front of outsiders, especially the Ge family's lady, which makes Xu Mingjiao feel very uncomfortable - although the Xu and Ge families are not inbreeding, but Xu Mingjiao and Ge's little lady Ge Lanhui are like "year-old friends", Xu Mingjiao really can't bear to be her good best friend with Qin Fangzi's sister-in-law in the future, but because of the relationship between the Xu and Qin families, she was ordered by the elder to "not be nosy", and then thought about it, Even if Qin Fangzi is arrogant, she may be at odds with her sister-in-law in the future, but this is not a big crime, how can the lady of the Ge family regret breaking her word because of a few gossips between their children, maybe she will have to misunderstand her intention to play right and wrong, and it makes sense for A-Niang to stop her.

"I also know that Ah Jiao can't go too far, otherwise your wife will definitely blame, and you don't have to worry about many things, let alone ask. I promised the second brother Xu last time, and the fourth sister won the money and had to be the host, after the Dragon Boat Festival, I wanted to fulfill my promise. I will try to get Weng Weng to agree, let me rent an amusement garden by the West Lake, I will invite other guests, but Ge Xiaoniang and I are not familiar with it, and the two families are discussing marriage, if I rashly handed over the invitation to go to it is too rude, but she must be invited, so I want to ask Ah Jiao to invite this guest for me, but don't say that I mean it. ”

Xu Mingjiao always knew that Fang Qi had a lot of ideas and acted in a good manner, so he still agreed very happily.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival, early in the morning, there is a small yellow door in the palace to send the imperial gift of fine arrowroot, Xiangluo, Pusi, Aiduo, Caituan, Qiao Zong, etc., as usual to be enshrined and displayed in front of the main gate, and today the kitchen is busy in order to prepare for the evening banquet, such as the dim sum bureau, the soup bureau and so on. Board a boat in the ancient building garden and pan the lake to eat wine and enjoy the fun.

A single absence of an aromatic period.

She will have to be busy in the kitchen today, ready to show her little hand at the family dinner in the evening.

Fang didn't board the cruise ship, no one paid attention, but the second lady Li was "careful", shaking the fan, leaning slightly towards Mrs. Wang, but her voice was not lowered: "Why don't you see Sanniang?" ”

Mrs. Wang naturally knew that Fang Qi was in the blistering kitchen, but she didn't want to say it, and said loudly: "The three girls have always been tricky, who knows what kind of showy tricks she is thinking about today, and we will know for a while, it must be her filial piety that will be different from her sisters, but if you want me to say, several children in our family, no one is as clever as the five girls, look at the soft incense belt she made for the wife today, and the dough fan embroidered for the younger sister-in-law, how exquisite." ”

First of all, most of Fang's next efforts were wiped out.

Qin Wuniang was suddenly named by her aunt, but she was shocked in her heart, she was a little afraid of the third cousin, because the third cousin's mouth was never forgiving.

Xiangdi Qin Mu a room, only Wu Niang Fanglian is a single concubine, and the concubine who gave birth to Wu Niang has long passed away, Wu Niang was raised by another concubine Liu, Liu has no future, Wu Niang can also be raised as a daughter, Mrs. Li herself has two sons and a daughter, there is no need to treat Wu Niang harshly, but Wu Niang is still living in Xiang Di is trembling and frightened, and she is walking on thin ice than Fang Period.

She wanted to be humble at this time, but she didn't know what to say, so she looked at Mrs. Li's expression with a glance, and finally bit her lip and lowered her head.

Today, because there are no outsiders, Zhou Xiaoniang and Liu Xiaoniang are also allowed to board the boat and go to the lake, Liu Xiaoniang heard Mrs. Wang praise Wu Niang, so she hurriedly said: "Wu Niang has any ability, but I just followed the concubine to learn a few needles of female red." ”

Mrs. Li was not happy when she heard this, and raised her eyebrows to look at Liu: "What is the female red that I learned from you?" The female teachers invited by the co-author family have not instructed the little ladies? Wu Niang is indeed the most ingenious among their sisters, and she should be praised by her sister-in-law. ”

Liu also hurriedly lowered his head.

Qin Xun didn't seem to hear the words of the ladies and dependents, but the old lady glanced at Mrs. Li dissatisfied.

She didn't like this second daughter-in-law at all.

There are two reasons, one is that the Li family is a big family lady, and the other is that the Li family is a concubine.

The reason why the concubine is kind to the concubine is nothing more than who is more virtuous and generous, how do you know that the five girls are the mud that can't be glued to the wall, how do you know how the Li family treats her well, in front of the Li family, they are like rats seeing a civet cat.

When the old lady thought about it like this, she felt that the Fangqi and Fangfei of the big house were good, at least she still talked and behaved like a lady, not like Fanglian cowering, in the eyes of outsiders, the result was that the eldest woman treated the concubine well, but the younger woman was mean by nature.

At the family banquet in the evening, the old lady saw the two dishes presented by Fang Qi, one of which was clearly catering to her preferences, and it was one more bowl of dizzel than what Aunt Wen usually made, and it was red and bright and oily. The old lady signaled to the maid, first took a basket of fresh fish cut into thin strips, took a red oil, and then with kumquat shreds, ginger, green onions and other ingredients, rolled it with a crystal skin, tasted it, only felt that the spicy taste buds were all over the taste, but it was still possible to taste the sweetness of the fish itself.

The old lady praised Fang Qi: "The cooking skills are good, when I heard you pestering Aunt Wen to teach you cooking skills, I originally thought you were joking, but I didn't expect to really learn it. ”

It's all the credit of chili oil, and Fang Qi is in a hurry to be modest.

She expected her to be satisfied, but she didn't expect her to praise her in public, but she was really flattered.

Mrs. Li didn't realize that she had become the "divine assist" of her third niece, and she also tasted a basket of Jin Ming's slashing and praised her repeatedly.

He also said that Qin Xun was also extremely satisfied with the honey crisp sliced duck that Fang Qi specially gave him, and he only smiled and bowed his head when he praised him.

Mrs. Wang's face stinked badly, although her appetite was very honest and very eager to taste a basket of delicious food, but reason told her that she could no longer let this evil man "dominate", so she didn't look at the two dishes, but she saw that Zhou Xiaoniang actually took a basket of honey crisp sliced duck to Qin Jing, and ate Qin Jing even with her head, and Mrs. Wang had the anger to lift the table.

Qin Fangzi didn't have as much heart as her mother, and even tasted a few baskets of Jin Ming's chopping, and suddenly thought: "Since the third sister has learned the craft of Aunt Wen, it is better for us to quit Aunt Wen and let the third sister be a cook." ”

Mrs. Li almost didn't choke on a mouthful of fish, and looked at the complacent Qin Fangzi with a particularly charming smile.

What a stupid girl, it's a pity that there are no outsiders now, otherwise who would still believe in the virtuous and generous nature of being a mother, but being a daughter can directly say the words of letting her sisters be cooks?
