The wine doctor in the restaurant took two lotus leaves, poured the warm lotus stamen wine on the lotus leaves, and used wooden thorns to penetrate the center, and the lotus stamen fell into the wine glass along the hollow branches, Zhao Ling said: "It's so elegant." ”

Dr. Wine poured a glass for Lin Qingmei, and said: "At this time, the lotus flowers are gone, and the lotus leaves are also defeated. ”

Xiao Qingmei took a sip, and sure enough, the wine was mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves, and after only one sip, it suppressed the fishiness of the crab meat in the mouth and stimulated the sweetness of the crab meat, and the two were interesting.

"It's delicious." Xiao Qingmei was full of praise, and she had already forgotten about the mink thing.

Zhao Ling said: "There are also crabs in the palace, if Mei'er likes to eat, Brother Ling will ask Quan An to send some to Shangshu Mansion." ”

"Mei'er doesn't want to give it to the eldest aunt to eat, if Brother Ling sends it to Shangshu Mansion, the eldest aunt will snatch it away." Xiao Mei'er was a little aggrieved.

Zhao Ling thought about it, sending crabs is not as good as sending fat powder, you can send it secretly, crabs are this thing, you have to let the kitchen make it, Wang's housekeeper, it is impossible not to know.

"Then Mei'er went to school in the palace earlier, and Brother Ling prepared a crab feast for you every day."

Xiao Qingmei nodded while eating, and responded vaguely. When I talked to Mrs. Lin about breakfast the next day, Mrs. Lin's first reaction was to object: "The good girl is so old, where do you still need to go to school?" How good it is to embroider a wedding dress at home every day. The old lady knew what Zhao Ling meant, it was nothing more than that Lin Qingmei had been resting in Jing'an Hall recently, which made him unhappy.

Lin Yulan echoed: "Yes, Mei'er's brain is not reading material, and she can't go to Mr. Bai Baiqi." Although she had the same opinion as Mrs. Lin, her words were not so popular.

Wang said: "Mother said yesterday that although Mei'er is stupid, she can still teach!" Why can't you go to school? It's better than selling stupidity in the house every day. ”

Mrs. Lin angrily shot the case: "What about the main hall?" Is it down? Let him come! Such a disobedient woman, don't go down to the church to keep my wife! ”

When the Wang family heard that they were going to invite their master, they quickly closed their mouths respectfully and glanced at Lin Yulan. Lin Yulan pleaded: "Grandmother, don't be angry, my mother is just straightforward and fast-talking, and she doesn't have any bad intentions." ”

"Not really!" Xiao Qingmei spoke softly beside her, "The eldest aunt is the worst, she always wants to beat Mei'er secretly, and she also says that Mei'er is stupid and stupid." ”

Wang explained: "Beating is kissing and scolding, is it love......"

Mrs. Lin beat her chest angrily: "My old enemy, what did I do in my previous life to keep such a stupid woman dangling in front of me every day?" Thinking of that Mei'er's mother, she is the most filial and understanding. If she is alive, why am I angry every day at this age? ”

Seeing that the old lady mentioned Ji again, Wang muttered, "Mother still said it!" If it weren't for her short life, I wouldn't have needed to serve you every day, saving so much trouble! "After Ji entered the door before, it was not her turn to make a meal every day, and the old lady rarely made a face to her. After Ji's death, it was her turn to do the food again, and the old lady picked her nose and eyes, and she didn't get scolded for a day.

Mrs. Lin copied the crutches next to her and chased after her, Wang's head was scurrying, Lin Yulan and Lin Qingmei sisters hurriedly persuaded to fight, Lin Qingmei said: "Grandmother is old, beware of breaking her legs and feet." ”

The old lady scolded hatefully: "With your virtue, you still want to send Mei'er to study? If Mei'er leaves, who will relieve you when you are angry with me every day? ”

At this time, Lin Zhengtang came down to ask for peace, and saw that the Wang family was embarrassed, and then saw his mother panting with a crutch, and bowed forward and said, "Why did my mother have such a big fire?" ”

Mrs. Lin threw away the crutches, found a stool and sat down, and said: "Ming'er will change someone to serve, and in the future, please be exempted, cloth, and serve all the sick, my wife doesn't want to see this stupid woman dangling under her nose." ”

Lin Zhengtang was stunned: Mrs. Lin only had two sons-in-law in her life, namely him and his brother Lin Shantang. He said: "Mother, except for A-Ying, the others are all concubines, how can they be of great use?" I'm afraid that I will insult my mother. ”

"Then pick one to be a flat wife! You were admitted to the Ming family in the old years, I heard that she had a good name when she was in the boudoir, her father was still a young man, and her family background was innocent. Replace her! ”

Lin Zhengtang glanced at the Wang family, turned his head and ordered the little servant to find Aunt Ming to listen to the errand. When she was young, Aunt Ming came with money, and at the age of eighteen or nineteen, she was on par with Lin Yulan, and she was gentle and polite, much more lovely than the Wang family.

Giving face to the concubine in front of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin didn't suddenly realize that she was dizzy until Aunt Ming knelt in front of her and saluted. No matter how stupid the Wang family is, it is the main room where the three media, six hires and eight sedan chairs are married, and no matter how good Aunt Ming is, she is just a concubine brought in from the side door. But when he said it, he couldn't immediately regret it, so he had to say: "Starting from Ming'er, you will replace Mrs. to serve soup." ”

Aunt Ming knew that it was not appropriate to encroach on her like this, the Wang family had a bad temper, and if she annoyed her, she would not be able to ask for good fruit to eat in front of her in the future. Fortunately, he fought in his belly and had planted good roots, so he said shamefully: "The old lady loves her, and the concubine doesn't dare to refuse." It's just that the monthly letter has been postponed recently, and I looked for Lang Zhong yesterday to see, and I am two months pregnant, so I want to brush the old lady's mind. ”

Lin Zhengtang was stunned when he heard this: "Why don't I know?" ”

Aunt Ming said shyly: "Lang Jun came to the room last night, so he didn't tell me." ”

"It's a good thing, let's rest!" Mrs. Lin instructed Yuhong to open the warehouse to get tonics, and Aunt Ming left with a thousand thanks. Wang pursed his lips, and his old state reverted: "There are many concubines and concubines in the house, why do you need to be so expensive?" Since the mother likes it, she has to serve it when she is about to give birth. ”

Old Madam Lin said to Lin Zhengtang: "Look, it's so unpleasant to speak, let's go to the house and teach a lesson before releasing it!" He also trained the Wang family: "The concubine and the concubine are also your ancestors, and the tablet he will enshrine in the future will be you and not his aunt." When he grows up in the future, as long as you don't let him out of the house, his aunt will not be able to take charge of the house for the rest of his life, don't you understand this truth? ”

Lin Yulan said: "Grandmother, my mother is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, she treats a few younger brothers and sisters very well, but what she says is not good, grandmother has a lot of forgiveness for her!" ”

Lin Qingmei also persuaded: "Grandmother, don't be angry, it's a good thing that there is a baby in the house." It just so happened that at this time, Yuhong came with the tonics, and the old lady looked at them one by one, and ordered them to be sent to Begonia Garden, and Xiaoqingmei happily followed: "Mei'er also went to see the baby." ”

Not long after, Lin Zhengtang's family of three also left, and the old lady called someone to pinch her forehead, burned the incense to rest, and said: "They all say that Mei'er is stupid, but who knows that she is filial?" Wang is not stupid, but where is she a little likable? I see that the world is stupid, but the treasure is a shoe. ”
