Chapter 110: I can't finish the hot pot dishes
The carriage was about to arrive at Dengcao Hutong, which was the location of the original Wei Mansion, Xie Xiuzhu broke free from Li Guolou's embrace, sat down again, and said: "Xiaolou is almost at my house, do you think you are going to the front gate or the back door?" After speaking, a pair of delicate eyes looked at Li Guolou's face, and his smile was a little strange, as if he was making fun of Li Guolou as a rat who had not been planted.
Li Guolou has all kinds of emotions in his heart, flustered, timid, cowardly, and of course, the most is excited, the taste of being teased by the two veterans makes him think about the crazy actions of the three of them all day, and he doesn't even have the heart to go to work. Seeing Xie Xiuzhu's expression, Li Guolou felt a kind of anger in his heart, and he couldn't wait to press Xie Xiuzhu under him now and go crazy to conquer.
"Go to the front door! Second grandma, let's go in together! Li Guolou used a killer move to force Xie Xiuzhu to a dead end.
"Go! Look at you like you're dying, you want my life. You sit in the carriage first, and I'll get someone to carry your luggage for you. Xie Xiuzhu beat Li Guolou a few times to let him know that she was not easy to mess with.
The layout of the rich man's room is roughly the same, in front of which is the incense hall dedicated to the ancestral spiritual seat, as well as Wei Wenshao's spiritual seat, Li Guolou will inevitably give the dead Wei Wenshao three incense sticks. felt a little guilty in his heart, avenging others, but he came to have both wealth and wealth. The wings on both sides are where the servants live, and through the cloister is the living room, which is furnished with exquisite nanmu furniture. Further inside, there is an arch with a hole in the sky, and there is the inner courtyard of the master.
Here Xie Xiuzhu is the boss, just crossed the threshold, Li Guolou's hand was held by Xie Xiuzhu, and said coquettishly: "Xiaolou, you are not afraid now." I hear your heartbeat and say you're bold. ”
Li Guolou was a little worried, and said, "Second grandmother, there is also Lingling." ”
Xie Xiuzhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lingling is a smart child, we have already bought her, she already knows that I am the real second grandmother, and she will not make a fuss." ”
The grass and trees in the inner courtyard were withered and withered, covered with thick snow, and a figure skating on the pool in the garden, it was Zheng Lingling learning to skate, and she was still holding a bench in her hand, and the bench moved forward with each step.
Li Guolou saw Zheng Lingling first, and said hurriedly: "Second grandma, isn't this nonsense, Lingling is so young, who let her play on the ice." ”
Xie Xiuzhu shook off Li Guolou's hand and said coquettishly: "Xiaolou, you are so bad." I'm so fierce, I ignore you. After speaking, he ran to the pool, walked to the ice, came to a circle, and said loudly: "Xiaolou, how about it, I'm better than you." ”
Although Li Guolou can also skate, he doesn't dare to mess around here, although there are no male servants in the inner courtyard, but the maid and Mother Xie will see it, he will be the master in this family in the future, and he must have a little dignity.
Li Guolou urged Zheng Lingling to come up a few times, children are addicted to playing, and adults can't move. Zheng Lingling was on the rise, didn't listen to anyone's words, and still moved the small bench as before, walking on the ice.
Li Guolou saw a little mother standing in the courtyard looking at Zheng Lingling, and he was relieved, the ice should be more than a foot thick in this weather, and people can't fall into the ice hole.
Li Guolou watched Xie Xiuzhu pull Zheng Lingling to walk on the ice, and felt a little strange, what kind of family did he form? Now that he has a ready-made daughter, he can live a life of clothes and food and open his mouth, and enjoy the joy of family. Ay! The woman is pregnant with a hero's mound. Li Guolou seems to have no motivation, he doesn't want to break into business all of a sudden, and it makes no sense to be busy outside all day. How nice it is to stay in this isolated place, watching his daughter grow up and caring for the people around him, this kind of life suits him.
Walking into the dining room, it was as warm as spring, Li Guolou handed over his coat to Xie Xiuzhu, and saw a hot pot on the dining table, and the plates of cold dishes had already circled around. There was an enticing aroma wafting from the hot pot, and Li Guolou couldn't help but want to sit down.
Chen Xiangfang walked in and said angrily: "Xiaolou, I don't know how to wash my face and hands when I come back, adults should be role models." Lingling took Xiaolou to wash her hands! ”
Li Guolou was also dissatisfied, and said: "I thought you were doing something delicious, but it turned out that you were lazy to eat hot pot." I also have a hot pot at noon, and I have no appetite for eating two meals a day. ”
Xie Xiuzhu squinted and said, "Then do you want me to feed you, so that you can eat it." ”
Chen Xiangfang was extremely dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Xiaolou, you are here to open your mouth, we have been busy for a day, and the hot pot is the most test of knife skills, do you know how much time it takes to serve these dishes?" "She has to move again, she has to arrange things in the store, and she has to do her daughter's work, and she has not rested for a day, and she is exhausted.
Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Lingling, let's ignore them, you see if they are fierce to me, you can't learn from them." After speaking, he obediently took Zheng Lingling's hand and went to wash his hands and face together.
Zheng Lingling said in a milky voice: "Mom said, here you are the third, I am the fourth, you can only order me, so the two of us must unite together and unite with the outside world." She seemed to be the hostess, and took Li Guolou across the threshold, and Zheng Lingling knew every doorway here.
Li Guolou gave Chen Xiangfang a bottle of French red wine on the table, and each person poured a glass of wine. Li Guolou saw that the maids waiting behind him were two young girls, who were not yet twelve or thirteen years old, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Second grandma, where did these two little girls come from?" ”
Xie Xiuzhu said: "Oh, I called Xie Ma to buy it newly, and some of the people in the original house were dismissed, you know." I won't use it if you're not at ease. ”
Li Guolou glanced at the two little girls and said, "Second grandmother, let's let them go to the store to learn art in the future." The inner courtyard will be used in the future, you know. He has already seen the evil in their hearts from the eyes of the two little maids, and being a detective is a prophetic sense, and the two little maids will not be good goods in the future.
Li Guolou's two thighs were viciously twisted by the two grandmothers, "What a serious master!" "That's what you say when you eat."
"Hey, I don't know why, now the little girl sees me, like a fly seeing rotten meat, and wants to drill into me, I'm prepared, you two have to understand." Li Guolou was not ashamed and said smugly.
"I know! Except for Wen Shuijuan, you can't look down on it, kicked it to Xiao Liuzi, who else! Chen Xiangfang gritted her silver teeth and asked with a knife hidden in her smile.
Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Be cautious, Xiao Liuzi will know, don't mention this matter in the future." ”
Zheng Lingling took a sip of red wine and interjected: "I know why Xiaolou likes girls? ”
The two little maids next to her pursed their lips and laughed secretly, Xie Xiuzhu said, "What does Lingling know?" ”
Zheng Lingling ignored her mother's reprimand and said: "Xiaolou is generous, spend money to please girls, who will like stingy ghosts." ”
Li Guolou was dissatisfied: "Oh, I'll spend money on this trick." Lingling, you also underestimate Uncle Xiaolou too much. ”
Chen Xiangfang said: "Lingling, call Dad here, and Xiaolou outside, remember?" ”
Zheng Lingling took another sip of red wine and said coquettishly: "Mom, you taught me so many rules today, how can I remember it, I have wine today and get drunk today." Let's teach it tomorrow. ”
Xie Xiuzhu chuckled: "It seems that Lingling, like Xiaolou, is also an alcoholic. ”
Li Guolou refuted: "Lingling only drinks half a glass of red wine, it doesn't matter." ”
Xie Xiuzhu sighed: "It's good to be rich! Xiaolou, you have to make more money, I am now sitting on a mountain and empty, and I have turned out all my family resources, and a good life will depend on you in the future. ”
Antiques are such things, if they can't be sold, they are decorations, and they have no value. The so-called value of thousands of gold is a kind of comfort to collectors, Xie Xiuzhu has been spending money all this time, and she is about to spend all the cash at home.
Li Guolou also saw Xie Xiuzhu's predicament, and knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders next, and it seemed that he couldn't sit back and enjoy the success, but he still had to work hard to make money.
"Second grandma, after half a year, I will decorate the house, you can sell it here, so that you can save a lot of expenses. It's better to live together as a family, don't you say? ”
"Indecent!" The two grandmothers whispered in Li Guolou's ear, they had the same thoughts, and they both thought of the swaying mahogany bed.
Zheng Lingling's slippery eyes kept staring at Li Guolou, she felt strange, why did she move to a stranger's house, and she couldn't figure out what the relationship between her mother and Xie Xiuzhu was? Why did my mother say that she grew up and wanted to sleep alone. A lot of strange things have happened in the past few days, aren't Xiaolou and her mother still married? Then why can they live together, anyway, her behavior when she sees her mother and Xiaolou is abnormal. But for the sake of living in a big house, she couldn't help but ask, and she would listen to it clearly in the future.
The hot pot should be a long-term battle, but there is something abnormal here, Li Guolou was asked to eat more, but the two grandmothers quickly ate it and took Zheng Lingling to take a bath first.
Li Guolou looked at the remaining dishes and had no appetite to eat them anymore, so he said to the little maid: "Cuihua, Qiu Ju, have you eaten them?" There's still some left uneaten, so take it to the kitchen and eat it. If Mother Xie wants to eat, you will share half of it and let her bring it to her husband to eat. ”
Hot pot cooking is a lot of food, Chen Xiangfang has prepared too much, she wants to show her knife skills, as well as the level of food preparation, making many meatballs, and wearing hot food.
As soon as Cuihua, Qiu Ju and Li Guolou looked at each other, they knew that this master would not beat and scold, he was a kind-hearted person, and they would know the wind and rudder the most. Cuihua smiled and said, "Master, then we will move the hot pot away." ”
Li Guolou had a good heart and said, "Cuihua, Qiu Ju, you can clean up after you have eaten." Be careful not to drop the plate, Mama Xie will scold you to death. ”
According to the rules of large households, maids are not allowed to sit at the master's table to eat, they eat in the kitchen. Usually the servants ate together, but not necessarily the people in the inner court, and sometimes they ate the same meal as the master's house. Therefore, the servants of large families are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the life of the personal maid is many times better than that of ordinary people. Therefore, this kind of maid has a very high vision, and they all want to get on the master's boat, and refuse to marry the servants of the outer court, and they will not live a hard life. Like a rich family, no matter how rich the family is, the personal maid still has a maid to serve, and the maid who takes care of the master's diet and daily life is a master. Mother Xie is like this here, as soon as she leaves the inner courtyard, she runs to the outer courtyard and is half a master, and everyone must listen to her orders.
Li Guolou looked at the two little maids, busy moving hot pots and plates of dishes, and wanted to help them move together, but he didn't dare. Everything must be in order, there are some things he can't do here, and doing it will make people gossip. He has not lived a life of clothes to reach out and eat to open his mouth for many years, and he relies on himself for everything, lives independently, and develops an independent character. Li Guolou wanted to adapt to this kind of life, but he felt that he was not used to it.
