Chapter 438: Greed
Qiao Yixi asked in surprise, "Mrs. Hou is still in charge of the property in her aunt's hands?" ”
Although the status of the aunt is not high, she is half a daughter-in-law, she is the person in the son's room, and the property in the aunt's hand should also be regarded as her dowry.
Chang Yulian sneered, "This is also what my mother-in-law means, the current situation of the Hou Mansion, you have also seen it, before, there was the Shen family's dowry and dowry support, and now, the Hou Mansion is unable to make ends meet." ”
"Co-author, or is it our 'Wutong Pavilion' mistake?" Qiao Yixi's tone was tough, "My mother-in-law's dowry and dowry have supported the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, and I haven't counted the interest too much, and I have already done my duty, why, do you still want me to give it away for nothing?" Those things were originally reserved for the general, and I really don't know what identity and reason the second and third rooms have to share this cup of soup! My mother-in-law only has one son, the general, and those are naturally generals, and the second and third rooms have their own mothers-in-law, and it is just a joke to peep into the things in our long room. ”
"Qiaoqiao, I know that you are protecting your shortcomings, and I also understand that you are reasonable, so you don't have to shout in front of me, I just said about Aunt Wen, Aunt Wen is the person in our second room, how to do it, is the matter of our second room."
"So, second grandmother, what's the use of you mentioning these things in front of me? Whether you want that splendid room, or whatever you want, it's all your business, don't disturb our long room. Although I have a little sisterhood with Aunt Wen, after the Qiao family separated, we were separated. ”
Chang Yulian knew that she couldn't please Qiao Lixi in front of her, and she didn't expect that she would be able to make Qiao Lixi obey her words in a few words.
She just completed what the Feng family explained, and if she couldn't complete it, it showed that she was not capable, at most she was blamed by the Feng family for a few words, and Gu Jinxuan vented a few times.
Forbearance at this moment is for the sake of perfection in the future.
Chang Yulian cheered herself up in her heart.
Qiao Yixi returned to the "Wutong Pavilion" "angrily", and as soon as she entered the door, Mama Feng nervously handed over the tea, "Miss......"
"It's just that I've made money," Qiao Lixi had already recovered her expression, "At the dinner table tonight, it will definitely be very exciting, Astragalus, you let the small kitchen prepare some food first, I'm afraid I won't have time to eat at night." ”
"......" Mama Feng looked at her young lady speechlessly.
Once upon a time, the young lady who was cowering, unassertive, and wooden in temperament transformed into what she is now.
The momentum and decisiveness were so sharp that she didn't dare to look at them directly.
She has never been to a big family, and the Qiao family is a terrible family in her eyes, so she doesn't know what the ladies in charge of those famous families are like, but she is sure that her young lady will never lose to those people!
However, where did the young lady learn this ability?
Madame doesn't have that much ability, otherwise, she wouldn't have taught Miss to be so childish before.
The lord will not be able to, the matter of educating the children is the business of the lady.
Mama Shen?
Mama Feng's eyes tightened.
She knew that Mama Shen was the person next to Mrs. Gu, and she hadn't seen Mrs. Gu's skills, but she had heard of it. That is the ability to lay the Chaotian Gate with Old Man Gu, if it was taught by Old Madam Gu, it would make sense that Miss became like this.
Gu Jinzhen was busy outside until the evening before coming back, he entered the "Wutong Pavilion" with his front foot, and the maid from the main courtyard on the back foot came to invite the two of them over for dinner.
Qiao Lixi glanced at Gu Jinzhen pitifully, patted her round belly, and followed him out with satisfaction.
"Full?" Gu Jinzhen asked amusedly.
Qiao Yixi looked up.
The corners of Gu Jinzhen's mouth curled up with a good-looking arc, and the age of the weak crown may be because of his experience on the battlefield, which has given him a more mature atmosphere, not as frivolous as a young man, nor as sophisticated and old as a middle-aged man.
The elegant atmosphere does not have the roughness and barbarism of a military general, nor is it as powerless as a scholar.
In between, it perfectly combines the strengths of the two, making it even more difficult to take your eyes off it.
"Qiaoqiao, the menstrual affair is over, right?" Qiao Lixi didn't answer Gu Jinzhen's question, and Gu Jinzhen suddenly changed the topic.
After understanding what Gu Jinzhen said, Qiao Yixi suddenly blushed, "What does this have to do with you?" ”
"It's a big deal," Gu Jinzhen's eyes widened and said seriously, "This is my right as a husband." ”
Go to your right!
Qiao Yixi burst into a foul mouth in her heart, but she still had to maintain a shy look on her face.
"You'd better think about how you're going to spend tonight, right?"
"I've thought about it a long time ago, just wait for you."
Qiao Lixi smiled helplessly, "I mean the Hongmen Banquet." ”
Gu Jinzhen didn't care, "Are you full?" ”
Qiao Yixi nodded.
"So what am I worried about?" Gu Jinzhen straightened the broken hair in Qiao Yixi's ears, "As long as you are full and not wronged, what do those people have to do with us." ”
Moved in her heart, Qiao Lixi tilted her head and looked at Gu Jinzhen, "I'll cook noodles for you at night." ”
It's the only cooking skill she's ever been able to master.
Gu Jinzhen was overjoyed, "Add an egg, I will have a hard time at night." ”
"Then don't think about it, you don't even have a face!"
Qiao Yixi walked in front with a black face and a huff.
Gu Jinzhen smiled sullenly, followed a few steps, and took her hand.
When the two arrived at the main courtyard, the people from the second and third rooms arrived, and Qiao Jinwen also came for the first time.
It's definitely out of place.
can think that she is the protagonist at the dinner table today, and Qiao Lixi is not surprised.
"It's all here, let's pass the meal." As soon as Feng came, she went straight to the point, she didn't want to wait for her to be so angry that she couldn't eat, "Aunt Wen, you will also serve on the table today, family, have a happy meal." ”
"Is there any happy event?" Gu Jinzhen asked in a daze.
The smile on Feng's face froze, "Do you still need a happy event for a family meal?" Usually you are busy with your own work, but today we finally got together and had a meal together. Today, we don't follow the rules, and everyone can say whatever they want at the dinner table. “
"So, what do you have to say?" Gu Jinzhen lowered her eyes and looked at the delicacies on the dinner table, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Brother Zhen, what are you talking about?" As soon as Dingguohou exited, Qiao Lixi's eyes lit up.
This is the first time that the Marquis of Dingguo has called Gu Jinzhen so kindly, not a "rebel", nor a "wicked son", but "Brother Zhen".
Well, it's greasy.
"I just think that my relationship with you is not enough to eat warmly at the table, so, in order not to affect your appetite, if you have anything, let's talk about it first."
"Brother Zhen, you're angry, aren't you?" Feng Shi rounded the field and said, "Your father knows that you like to eat crispy chicken, and this mushroom soup, which you also like, over the years, although you are not very close to your father, but your preferences, your father has always remembered, thinking that the family will eat today, and specially let the kitchen make it." Brother Zhen, come, drink a bowl of mushroom soup first. ”
Feng diligently served Gu Jin a bowl of mushroom soup.
The milky white color is mixed with dashi at first glance, and the mushrooms absorb the greasy flavor of the dashi, and you can smell a fragrance in the umami, and the taste is excellent.
But the rich white color gradually became thicker in Gu Jinzhen's eyes, slowly turning black, and finally became a bowl of black and slimy "poison".
He likes crispy chicken because it is his mother's favorite dish, and it has the taste of his mother.
He likes to drink mushroom soup because the wild mushrooms he and his mother picked back from the suburbs.
What are they?
I don't know which old hen raised in Zhuangzi dug up the wild mushrooms from nowhere!
Hehe, that's all?
"The family eats well, don't throw your face to show us, you don't want to eat, don't affect other people's appetites."
"Okay, you guys use it slowly." Gu Jinzhen got up and took Qiao Lixi's hand.
"Master Hou, Brother Zhen, how can you talk about it, it will change its taste, okay, sit down and eat."
Gu Jinzhen glanced at Qiao Yixi, as if asking for her opinion.
This subtle movement was keenly noticed by the Feng family, and he hurriedly held Qiao Lixi's other hand affectionately, "Qiaoqiao, come, sit down, and eat well." ”
Qiao Lixi is very gossipy, and she is still waiting for the Feng family to fight each other later, how can she let go of such a good opportunity?
At the dinner table, she and Gu Jinzhen didn't eat much, she came only after cushioning her stomach, and Gu Jinzhen didn't have much appetite for this group of people, and he was still waiting to go back and eat the noodles cooked by Qiao Yixi.
Although it was a family meal, because everyone had their own ghosts in their hearts, they didn't eat much, so they got off the table early, and the maid brought tea to eat.
"That's how a family should be, eat together and talk when it's okay, so that it's lively. It's all a family, where are there so many overnight feuds. Feng took the initiative to provoke the topic.
Qiao Yixi held the teacup in both hands and sat beside her.
"By the way, Aunt Wen, I heard that the splendid has reopened?" Feng changed the topic and asked directly.
Qiao Jinwen had already been mentally prepared, "Yes, that is the property left by the slave maid's family to the slave maid, and the slave maid naturally can't be wasted." ”
This is the first time she has called herself a "slave" when Qiao Lixi is present, and the two words of gritted teeth, like a dagger, rip off the flesh on her face piece by piece, making her stand in front of Qiao Lixi without face and skin.
She used to be the daughter of the Qiao family, a high-ranking master, a young lady, and a serious housewife in the future.
Can you look at the present?
She is just an aunt, a "slave", how can she be embarrassed?
"It's right that you can think so," Feng said with relief, "No matter what, such a big industry, you can't leave it alone, it's good to have more silver in your hand every month, especially now, when your second room needs silver, Jinxiu over there, you spend more thought." ”
Look, the Feng clan is much more tactful than Chang Yulian.
Chang Yulian asked for it directly, but the Feng family asked Qiao Jinwen to take care of her business and take good care of the second room.
Qiao Jinwen is the aunt of the second room, she is not the second room, for whom?
Even for his own sake, he had to take out the money.
