The old lady hasn't come out yet, but Shen Cheng has come over, and the aunts immediately changed their mental state, and they are still a little annoyed, if they knew that Xiangye was also there, then they must have dressed up well!
In such a comparison, Aunt Liu is the most glamorous one, and they are all congested when they look at it.
is also an aunt, this one is the most cunning.
Shen Qingwan looked at Shen Cheng with some surprise, his face was full of spring and radiant, didn't he have an unpleasant quarrel with the old lady last year? Are you still in such a good mood today?
It seems that what the old lady wants to say is definitely a great thing.
Moreover, the old lady was so angry last night that she came out to see Shen Cheng as if it had never happened, and the mother and son were very good, as if they had not blushed at all last night.
Playing with a strand of hair on his chest, Shen Qingwan thought for a while, and then evoked a knowing smile.
Sure enough, during the meal, the old lady spoke: "After you go back, clean up your yard, don't make a mess, pay attention to your words and deeds recently, don't let outsiders see the jokes of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Not to mention others, even Shen Yijia was inexplicable when she heard it, and said with a wink: "Grandmother, what happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
The old lady was happy: "Your brother is coming back, either today or tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Shen Yijia's eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped with joy: "Really? ”
The old lady smiled indulgently: "You stupid child, is it possible that grandmother can still joke about this kind of thing?" ”
Shen Yijia flattered the old lady with a piece of soft cake, and said coquettishly: "What's the matter, my brother left during the New Year, and I haven't seen him for half a year, Jia'er is just a little surprised, and she only came back at the end of the year in the past." ”
"It's about to be autumn, your brother has to come back to try it, maybe he will be able to win the lift, and next year's spring is not far away, some of the lifters have already gone to Beijing, and some of your brother's friends just came to spend the night, so the backyard is taken care of, and I don't have to lose the face of the Prime Minister's house."
After the old lady finished singing the red face, it was Shen Cheng's turn to sing the white face.
"Mother, it's good to explain the matter, they are all quite obedient." Shen Cheng refuted his women.
Except for Aunt Liu, Aunt Hua is indifferent, and the other aunts are Yixing Yanshan.
Doing it for a long time just for this? Isn't it yet yet?
If it only arrives tomorrow, what are they gathered here for? and not their sons.
Shen Yijia's eyes lit up, and she thought of a lot of things in an instant, her younger brother is back, then her plan can be discussed with her younger brother, anyway, her plan to be named alone has died, so it is the right way to follow her younger brother to take the light.
There are some things, as long as there is the only son of Xiangfu, then Shen Qingwan can't stop it.
Thinking like this, Shen Yijia glanced at Shen Qingwan proudly, obviously showing off, it was her younger brother of the same father and mother.
Shen Qing ate breakfast unhurriedly in the evening, and there was no special reaction.
Just now, from Aunt Liu's expression, she had already guessed the development of things from the old lady and Shen Cheng's relationship, and it was only when the only son of the Prime Minister's Mansion came back that she had such treatment.
Therefore, Shen Yijia's smug eyes were thrown to the blind man, and Shen Qingwan didn't notice it at all, and she glared at her angrily.
After eating, Old Madam Shen explained some more things, which was nothing more than that when there were outsiders in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she should pay more attention to some reputations and the like.
Shen Qingwan had never experienced it in his previous life, so he didn't have much impression of the guests.
It's Shen Yijia, who seems to be a little abnormal, just because Shen Ziyu is coming back?
However, in her previous life, only Aunt Liu and Shen Ziyu were good to Shen Yijia from beginning to end, so in this life, Shen Yijia only trusted these two people.
Just as the old lady finished her lecture and everyone was about to leave, the porter passed the news: "Old lady, someone from the Chu Wangfu is here." ”
Hearing this, the old lady and Shen Cheng glanced at each other, and their good mood suddenly became cloudy, last night's noise was not without pimples, but today's happy event was even greater.
Although there is no enmity between mother and son, the old lady has always felt that it is not easy for her to pull Shen Cheng apart, and Shen Cheng feels that the old lady is inconsiderate of him, and makes him make jokes.
Everyone held their breath and didn't want to bow their heads, and this pimple existed.
It's just that the pimple between the mother and son is not a problem, and now they have a bad breath.
"Why don't you please?" Shen Cheng's expression was a little entangled, and he was very worried about the drum in his heart, could it be that everything from yesterday had reached the ears of the King of Chu?
Thinking of this, Shen Cheng glanced at Shen Qingwan, and also at Mama Xiaoye, this slave won't be so broken-mouthed!
Shen Qingwan was also stunned, I don't know why the people in the palace are doing this?
Seeing this, the aunts were not in a hurry to leave, and stayed and waited to see the show.
Anyway, if it comes out like this, it's either Miss Six's good show, or the second girl's good show, because the King of Chu loves Miss Six, and the second girl's expression will be very good-looking.
When the people came in, Shen Qingwan found that it was Ah Shui, followed by a relatively fat man.
Others don't know Ah Shui's identity, but Shen Qingwan knows that the status of the ten people in the Chu Palace, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning and snow is very different.
"I've seen the old lady, I've seen the Xiangye......" Ah Shui smiled, saluted neatly, and then blessed Shen Qing in the evening: "I've seen Miss Six." ”
For others, it is natural to ignore it.
Shen Yijia, who was obviously skipped, couldn't help but feel a little smoky, she was a second girl, she didn't look at the face of the Qin Palace, she should also give the Prime Minister's Mansion a little face!
The aunts secretly thought it was funny, and this was what they wanted to see.
What about the concubines of the Qin Palace? doesn't even have a grade, why should people look at it?
"What does the prince command? Didn't you leave Beijing yesterday? Shen Cheng was a little cautious, but Ah Shui's attitude was good, which made him feel a lot more relieved for the time being.
"It's not a big deal, it was ordered by the palace before leaving." Ah Shui said with a light smile, making people feel like a spring breeze: "The prince heard that Miss Six's Wuyuan originally had a small kitchen, but it has not been useful in recent years, so there is no need to do much, I rewarded Miss Six with a cook, so that Miss Six can eat better and grow her body." ”
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and these words slapped the Prime Minister's face.
Do you think that Xiangfu doesn't eat well, and even Miss Yan doesn't grow meat anymore?
Old Madam Shen and Shen Cheng's faces were slightly ugly, and the whole person was not good.
"Lord Wang, this ...... I'm afraid it's not right! Shen Cheng finally realized how moody the King of Chu was, and he didn't think about his father-in-law's face at all.
Of course, that's what Shen Cheng himself thinks.
Don't say that Shen Qingwan was just a side concubine, even if she is a concubine, does Shen Cheng dare to call the son-in-law of the King of Chu?
Moreover, it is still an honor to give someone as the king of Chu.
At least it shows that the king of Chu loves Shen Qingwan, and he has a lot of face to the outside world.
But the old lady and Shen Cheng only thought about their own unhappiness.
is a typical faceless, I didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, that is, the king of Chu gave the prime minister's long face.
But Shen Cheng felt that it was inappropriate, so Ah Shui smiled more gently: "What's wrong?" The prince heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion was managed by his aunt, and he had eaten vegetarian food for a long time before the draft, and he didn't get any meat at all. ”
"The prince sympathizes with Miss Six, who is growing up, and is afraid that the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be enough, so he wants to reopen the small kitchen in Wuyuan."
The old lady and Shen Cheng's faces turned the color of pig liver, and Aunt Liu found that this matter had once again become a handle for others to take out the matter, and she wanted to faint.
But Ah Shui obviously hasn't finished speaking: "The old lady and Xiangye don't have to worry, the silver in this small kitchen is provided by the palace, and there is also a special person to deliver the ingredients every day, and it won't cost the Xiangfu a star." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the old lady and Shen Cheng were even more exciting, blue, white, white, red and red, and they were about to become singing.
Because Shen Qingwan's small kitchen was removed at the beginning, it was the few people in charge who used thrift as an excuse, if it weren't for this, Shen Qingwan's body would not have been ruined by the food of three years of filial piety.
Shen Qingwan really didn't expect that Aunt Liu's guts were fatter than anyone imagined, and she really dared to drug her.
Therefore, when Ah Shui said this, the excuse of saving can also be laughed at.
Can't the Prime Minister even afford to raise Miss Yan?
Eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, the old lady and Shen Cheng couldn't think of a reason to refute.
In this way, it is better to agree happily from the beginning, and still have a favored face when you say it, so as not to take out these old things and break them.
Shen Qingwan had seen enough of the jokes of the old lady and the prime minister, and then stood up: "Thank you for your love." ”
At the beginning, her mother was gone, and it was really not good-looking for Shen Qing to have a small kitchen in her junior year, and she didn't even have the old lady here.
Now that Ah Shui says this, it seems that the Prime Minister is so picky.
Many aunts don't know about this matter, and now they are surprised when they hear it, Miss Yan of the Xiangfu is really not favored without a mother!
In the end, it was Shen Qingwan who led the people away, and the aunts who were stimulated by having sons early in the morning also left satisfied, but Mrs. Shen and the prime minister, as well as Aunt Liu, were so angry that their chests were stuffy.
Originally, Shen Ziyu was going to come back, which made the three parents very happy, but when they came out like this, no matter how good the mood was, it also cast a shadow.
"What kind of silver can a small kitchen use every month? That's what I'm thinking about. The old lady's face was still so dark, and it was obvious that she hadn't eased her breath yet.
Aunt Liu looked at Shen Cheng with rain, and she was very aggrieved in her heart, at the beginning, Mrs. Shen and Xiangye were all responsible, but now when something happens, the responsibility is all on her.
"At the beginning, I don't know how many people know about the news of the Prime Minister's vegetarian diet, mother, I'm afraid that I will be laughed at by others for a lifetime."
Speaking of which, Shen Cheng regretted it, he knew that this was the case, and he shouldn't have let Aunt Liu toss it in the first place.
Although he was not at home at the beginning, he was outside with a lot of fish and meat, which only made the contrast more obvious.
Speaking of this, the old lady also regretted it, she knew that she shouldn't have turned a blind eye at the beginning, and now she is used as an excuse, and this face is thrown to her grandmother's house.
On top of that, the saved money doesn't know whose pocket it has ever fallen into.
At the beginning, Aunt Liu was a woman who used this matter to tribulate the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she also embarrassed Shen Qingwan, but Old Mrs. Shen was naturally not affected, she didn't care at the time, and it was useless to regret it now.
"Mother, you have to think about it, Xu Ran will also take Juzi into the house, when the time comes, there will be such rumors, if you make Juzi feel that the Xiangfu is not full of food and clothing, and he will not stay here, and take out the reason to say, the Xiangfu doesn't need to ask for this face."
Shen Cheng didn't want to care about the jealousy of the women in the backyard, but when it came to his own vital interests, his brain finally cleared up.
It's a pity, it's a foregone conclusion, I don't know if it's too late?
Raising a son to stay overnight is a big deal in Shen Cheng's opinion, in case someone wins the top three, or is just nominated for the third list, but no one knows what officials will be sent.
If someone is in the future and in a high position, thinking of the original love, the prime minister can have many benefits.
If there are more than one people on the throne during the same period, it will not be difficult to realize the wish of the Prime Minister's Mansion to continue to attack the lord.
It's not just the prime minister's government that thinks about the future of the exam, but also other mansions.
This investment in the development of the network in advance, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow.
And the move to Beijing to catch the exam is the same, maybe it really needs support, maybe it needs official connections, anyway, the imperial examination is not only an exam, but also a reputation.
Therefore, this kind of thing is mutually beneficial, and some people live in official mansions, and talking about it is also a kind of talking point.
In general, the emperor can't control this matter, and every time the imperial examination is even the imperial palace, there are one or two relatives and friends.
Three years ago, the Gu family had an accident, and Shen Ziyu had not yet reached the height of intersecting friends, and the Xiangfu was managed by Gu Yangxi and did not participate.
This year, Shen Cheng couldn't wait to get this idea.
"What else can I do? The expenses of the small kitchen are doubled to the Wuyuan, and the monthly silver of the evening girl is made up every month, and she can't not be given because Gu Yangxi left her a family property, and it doesn't sound good to say. The old lady thought of this stubble, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
I thought it was good, but I didn't find the hidden danger of doing so.
Once Shen Qing marries well, if he wants to take care of it, the Prime Minister can't say anything about it.
"Yes, and what you owe in the past three years, you will make up for it, how much silver can you have?" Shen Cheng looked at Aunt Liu, don't think he didn't know, Shen Qingwan's monthly plan was not given, but it was all spent, and Aunt Liu took it to supplement Shen Yijia.
Therefore, in the past three years, Shen Yijia's monthly income is an example of a concubine and a concubine.
If you want to talk about it, there are not many of them.
The concubine is only five taels a month, only sixty taels a year, and less than two hundred taels in three years.
The problem now is that it is not Shen Qingwan who wants to pursue it, it is clear that the Chu Wangfu is satirizing the Prime Minister's lack of attention to the concubine, and Shen Cheng can't afford to lose this person at all.
Aunt Liu wanted to refute it, but as soon as she was silent in her heart, she calculated the number, thinking that less than two hundred taels could be completely released, and those who had been supplied to Shen Yijia before didn't need to be taken back, so it was not worth making a fuss for two hundred taels.
The small kitchen naturally doesn't need to be repaired, and it will be counted from this month, and it's still a public, which is nothing.
In the past, it was not to slam the door, but to show her status in managing the Prime Minister's Mansion and to suppress the arrogance of her daughter-in-law, but now she can't do it, and she has failed to get used to it.
When the fifth aunt died, the hush money for the government doctor could be five hundred taels, which was indeed not bad.
Seeing that Aunt Liu had no quarrel with each other, the old lady and Shen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, the people in this family were really uneasy.
Shen Qing happily led people back to Wuyuan, and Ah Shui also came for the first time, so Mu Tao took good things out to entertain her.
King Chu did tell her that she would send a cook over, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and the time was so delicately chosen, Shen Qingwan couldn't help but laugh.
It's really embarrassing to disturb the old lady and Shen Cheng's good mood.
"Slave Wang Xiaoda, meet Miss Shen." Although the cook is a little fat, he looks quite agile in his movements.
"Wang Xiaoda?" Shen Qingwan raised his hand and asked Xun Han to give him a bulging purse, rewarding ten taels of silver: "This name is a bit interesting." ”
Meimei accepted the reward, shook her fat hand, and secretly said that Miss Shen was so generous, Wang Xiaoda smiled: "The prince also said so, the brothers and sisters in the small family are all 'small', because the younger one is the eldest again, so he got this name." ”
"Yes, it makes sense." Shen Qingwan smiled lightly, not to ridicule and sarcastic, but to really think so.
Wang Xiaoda also saw it, his eyes were gone with a smile, and the flesh on his face was piled up.
"It's still early today, Chef Wang will go to buy some ingredients, and at noon he will open the guys in Wuyuan, and this month's purchase silver will be given to you, if it is not enough, ask me again." Mama Ye led Wang Xiaoda to see the small kitchen, and explained carefully along the way.
"Hey, let me go shopping?" Wang Xiaoda was a little surprised.
Generally speaking, procurement is procurement, and the chef is the chef, so I am afraid that the chef will make a big benefit from it, and the master will spend money but not eat good things.
"Don't worry, Miss doesn't mean anything else, there are not many people in this Wuyuan who can trust, Miss didn't eat clean food a while ago, so the prince specially sent someone over, and Miss believes in the prince." Mama Ye and Wang Xiaoda are obviously familiar with each other: "Look at your body, I haven't seen you for a while and gained a lot of weight, don't stare at that, if you do a good job, not only will the young lady be rewarded, but the prince will also be rewarded when he comes back." ”
"This nature, how can I be such a person who can't be twisted?" Wang Xiaoda took the silver that was said to have been purchased this month, and it turned out to be one hundred taels, and Miss Shen was really generous.
After all, he is only responsible for Shen Qingwan's food alone, and how much is the monthly case of his daughter-in-law? It's not a ton of abalone or ginseng.
"The people in the kitchen, you can pick your own trustworthy, this afternoon just the Xiangfu wants to buy some people, if you think you can't believe it, go to the palace to pick, in short, the small kitchen is really good, don't let the young lady's food have problems again." Mama Ye is also worried about this.
After all, when Shen Qing was growing his body, he always couldn't eat enough, or he didn't have to eat, which also hurt people.
Since Wang Xiaoda was able to come over, he was naturally explained some things, for example, Shen Qingwan's appetite, he naturally had to do enough, and he couldn't let others know that she ate too much.
Wang Xiaoda put away his smile and said seriously: "That's natural, don't worry about the kitchen I manage, no matter how I can't embarrass the prince." ”
Mama Ye smiled and nodded, it is true, if it weren't for the reassuring person, the prince would not have sent it.
Wang Xiaoda himself is the chef of the palace, the prince is gone, the palace does not even have a master, he is idle.
So when the king of Chu asked, he took the initiative to invite Ying over.
Anyway, Miss Shen is going to marry into the palace, and it won't take long for him to go back, and besides, seeing the way his prince spoils Miss Shen, he also has to hug his thighs!
