Chapter 340: Yunqing Branch Sixteen
The main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
The room where Aunt You lived was lit early in the morning.
Since Aunt You was taken over by Shi Kai, she did not live in the main house with Shi Kai, but was arranged here. But most nights, Shi Kai would come here and stay with her.
For such a placement, Aunt You did not complain. She felt that she was not Mrs. Houfu, and she could stand out among the other concubines, and living in the main courtyard was already Shi Kai who gave her face, and she wanted to recite Buddhism.
Moreover, she believes that after a short time, she will be able to move directly into the main house from here openly.
Before, Shi Kai didn't come to sleep in her room, but he would always come over to say something. But last night, Shi Kai not only didn't come to sleep, but also didn't come over to tell Aunt You the reason.
Knowing that Shi Kai was annoyed with herself because of yesterday's incident, Aunt You was cowardly in her heart. On the one hand, he secretly scolded Shi Yunqing in his heart for making trouble in the past few days, and he didn't know how to understand himself at all, and on the other hand, he was worried that Shi Kai would not correct her because of this incident.
In the final analysis, Aunt You still cares very much about whether she can be corrected, and she doesn't care whether Shi Yunqing has been wronged at all.
After getting up, when she heard that Shi Kai was still sleeping, Aunt You hurriedly got up and prepared to go to the small kitchen to prepare breakfast for Shi Kai.
This is what Aunt You has been doing every day since she moved to the main courtyard. It's just that today she prepared a little more elaborately, trying to please Shi Kai as much as possible.
Since Shi Yuntian took over the Hou Mansion, he has been thinking about being frugal and saving money, even if he treats Shi Kai equally. The small kitchen remains, but most of the food is served from the large kitchen, which is mainly used for steaming.
Needless to say, the cooking in the big kitchen is not to mention. It can't be compared to the food in the kitchen, not even before.
And after Aunt You came here, she directly took the matter of preparing breakfast to herself. On the first day, when she brought the breakfast she had prepared to Shi Kai, Shi Kai praised her a few words, which made Aunt You very happy, so she persevered.
Of course, the money used to buy the ingredients was naturally taken out by Aunt You herself.
Aunt You didn't want Shi Kai to praise her because she could eat free and delicious meals, but felt that it was her virtue that moved Shi Kai, and she became more and more attentive.
This is also why Shi Kai coaxed Aunt You and said that 30,000 taels of silver could straighten her up, but Aunt You wanted to ask Shi Yunqing for 50,000 taels. The extra 20,000 taels of silver, she wanted to treat it as her own private room, and she would continue to coax Shi Kai to be happy in the future.
At this time, Aunt You wanted to go to the small kitchen to make breakfast, so she naturally called Qian'er and Qian'er's girl.
After bringing Qian'er back yesterday, Aunt You will let their master and servant serve by her side.
Now the people around Aunt You were all arranged by Shi Yuntian later, and they didn't say anything to her, and sometimes they were sneering, which made Aunt You uncomfortable. But because she didn't want to offend Shi Yuntian, she didn't dare to say it.
Now that Qian'er is Shi Yunqing's person, her temperament looks soft and harmless, Aunt You is tired of Shi Yunqing, and she knows that Qian'er at this time is much easier to use than others.
So, last night, Aunt You let Qian'er and the girl sleep on her bed.
And the maid-in-law who used to serve Aunt You was naturally willing, but now it is the New Year's Festival, and if someone is willing to work, they can run home to reunite with their family for a while.
The three of them went to the small kitchen, and when they saw them come in, the mother-in-law of the small kitchen hurriedly greeted them and asked what they were going to do.
Of course, this mother-in-law is not stammering Aunt You. It's because every time Aunt You makes breakfast, she always gives her some soup, soup, water and snacks. Now that the daily life of the Hou Mansion is getting rougher and rougher, and being able to eat some fine food that can only be eaten by the masters has such benefits, and the mother-in-law naturally wants to help.
The small kitchen is not large, and it becomes more and more cramped as you move around as you start working. Besides, there are not too many jobs, and there is no need for Qian'er and Xiaoya.
Seeing that Qian'er couldn't help and was still standing there in the way, Aunt You finally simply asked their master and servant to go to the courtyard and wait.
"Auntie," Qian'er looked at Aunt You, and said softly with a little pleading, "Either I'll take Xiaoya to clean the room." ”
"It's okay," Aunt You nodded. Watching Qian'er speak in a low voice like pleading, she felt comfortable in her heart. Besides, Qian'er and Xiaoya are just standing outside. I feel that they are also idle, and it is better to do more things for themselves.
Qian'er and Xiaoya naturally didn't ask to go back to the room to help Aunt You work. The two of them were looking for an opportunity to get close to Shi Kai.
Before entering the mansion yesterday, Bijun successfully came to Shi Yunfei's side, which can be regarded as half the success. At this time, Qian'er didn't know that Bijun had become Shi Yunfei's person, and she could be regarded as a complete success.
Thinking of Bijun, Qian'er frowned secretly. Since the two of them were selected by Shi Yunqing, she felt that she was a little smarter and smarter than Bijun, but she didn't expect that Bijun would do things more smoothly than her, which made her a little unconvinced.
It's just that they have come to Shi Kai's courtyard, which creates very favorable conditions for them to get close to Shi Kai.
Now Aunt You is cooking in the kitchen, which is a great opportunity.
The two of them returned to Aunt You's room, Qian'er dressed up and prepared the objects to be used, and Xiaoya stood by the window to observe the movement outside.
Two quarters of an hour later, Xiaoya saw movement in the main room and hurriedly greeted Qian'er.
At this time, the sky was bright, and the people who were sprinkling and cleaning up in the yard had already finished their work. The door of the main room had just opened, and someone stood at the door and began to beckon people to come and wait.
Qian'er stood in front of the window and looked out through the gap, only to see that the people who went to the main room were either small servants or entourage slaves, obviously there were no other women in this courtyard except Aunt You and the maid who was waiting in her room.
Frowning and thinking for a while, when she saw someone walking in from the direction of the courtyard gate with a burden, Qian'er rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and walked out.
At this time, Shi Kai in the main room had just gotten up. is washing and cleaning up under the service of the two little guys.
There is indeed no maid or woman in his room. This is also the time that it began. According to Shi Yuntian's meaning, he coaxed Aunt You first, and then when she returned all her assets, she would come back and then buy someone better to serve the main courtyard.
But in fact, Shi Yuntian sent some people out in order to cut expenses. What's more, don't give Shi Kai more opportunities to contact other women, and firmly control him.
