Chapter 190: Make amends
Huo Baoying couldn't sit still, and looked outside from time to time, "Why haven't you come yet, Mama Wan, you go and urge again, it's so late, if you go later, they will fall asleep in Jiuli." β
Although the sun is slanting in the west, but the sky is still bright, Mama Wan looked at the still bright outside, secretly glanced at Huo Baoying, and once again remembered in her heart that she should be good to the eldest lady in the future, and she had to eliminate her bad impression in the past.
I didn't expect that the eldest lady, a family from a rural family, would have such a good chance to meet her mother's family, and she had opened up the road to the sky in Shun'an Mansion, thinking of the first time she met her in front of Qi Jiu, Mama Wan regretted it very much, although it was the old lady's intention to get off the horse, but it was herself who came forward, the old lady has always had a positive image in front of Miss Biao, and suddenly felt that she was very losing.
Mama Wan didn't move, Huo Baoying turned her head, and saw her with her head down, and she was anxious, "Mama Wan." β
Mama Wan looked up suddenly, and then saw the chef who had just entered the courtyard, "Old lady, Chef Hong is here." β
Huo Baoying immediately turned around and beckoned to Chef Hong, "Lao Hong, I have something to ask you, what are the ingredients that Miss Biao and them sent before, what do you think you need to entertain a big table of good meals, and I don't know how Jiuli's cooking skills are, by the way, Lao Hong, or you will go and help cook the dishes tomorrow." β
"Old lady, the little one thinks it's inappropriate." Su Shulin rarely had some confidence to say out loud, "I listened to the words of the housekeepers of the Wei Mansion and the Guo Mansion before, and they praised Miss Jiuli's cooking skills both inside and out, so Miss Wei and Miss Guo will come to the door to eat in person, if you let Chef Hong go, it will not be less interesting among the young ladies." β
Huo Baoying nodded again and again, "You're right, by the way, you can tell the scene again in detail." β
"As soon as the little one entered Lotus Lane, he met the housekeepers of the Wei Mansion and the Guo Mansion who came down from the carriage, and the little one wanted to let the two of them go first, after all, the alley was not big, but when he saw them stop at the door of the house rented by his uncle, the little one immediately caught up and greeted them with a smile."
"The little one reported to his house, introduced the uncle who lived in the house, and then asked them if they came to find the uncle."
"As soon as they heard that the little one was related to their uncle, they had a good attitude towards the little one, and the housekeeper of the Guo Mansion directly asked if the little one was from the Qi house, and what was the so-called matter this time."
"The old lady cares about her uncle and Miss Cousin, and the little one told the two housekeepers that according to the day, I am afraid that the ingredients will not be fresh, so I will send the ingredients every few days, after all, the uncle and they rarely come to the city once, and they must not be neglected."
Su Shulin's words made Huo Baoying very useful, "You did a good job." β
"After that, the uncle welcomed the three of us into the door, and each said his intention, and the younger one knew that Miss Wei and Miss Guo were going to come to dinner tomorrow."
"After that, the little one came out with the two housekeepers, although it was only a few steps, but still said a few words, the little one was afraid of saying more and more mistakes, and asked vaguely about the relationship between our Miss Cousin and Miss Liangfu, and they didn't answer, so the little one changed the topic, thanked them for their love for Miss Table, and watched them get into the carriage, and the little one came back immediately."
"Good, good, you're doing a great job." Huo Baoying was excited, gave Mama Wan a look, and directly rewarded a tael of silver.
Su Shulin took the reward, tilted his head slightly, and walked out of the main courtyard with confidence, he felt that he was different now, so he immediately went to the kitchen and waited, he was extremely firm that if he wanted to go further, he had to have a good relationship with his uncle.
When the ingredients were prepared again, Su Shulin counted them the same, and the rice and noodles were the best, and he personally went to tell Huo Baoying.
"Old lady, I've seen all the little ones, and they're all the best." Su Shulin said with a smile, "By the way, the little one has another suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not." β
"Say." Huo Baoying nodded and said, she now looks at how Su Shulin looks and how pleasing to the eye, when they first came to Qishan, Su Shulin behaved very well, I heard that let people sit and wait in the gatehouse, the attitude is not bad, and the faΓ§ade of the Qi house can be done, thinking like this, Huo Baoying looked at Mama Wan and was a little more picky, this old man is always older, and he can't judge it very well.
Receiving Huo Baoying's eyes, Mama Wan couldn't say that she was suffering, thinking about making up for it, and also said, "Old lady, the slave maid wants to go with Su Menfang, after all, the slave maid is a woman, and her hands and feet are also sharp, so it is good to help clean up the house." β
Huo Baoying nodded, "Well, don't forget to apologize to Jiuli." β
"Yes."
"By the way, Su Shulin, what were you just going to say?"
"Uncle and they rarely come once, they don't know much about Fucheng after all, and they always have to buy some special products when they go back, and the little ones think it's good to have someone to lead them." Su Shulin glanced up at Huo Baoying, and the meaning of the automatic invitation in his eyes was very clear.
"Old lady, the slave maid thinks that what Su Menfang said is very right, but Miss Jiuli is a girl's family after all, and she always needs a maid and a mother-in-law to serve her, if the old lady sends someone to lead the way, she will have to be fully matched." Mama Wan seriously proposed.
"Well, you're all right." Huo Baoying nodded, "The two of you will go to your uncle's house to serve the day after tomorrow, and as for the maid, assign Hongling in the eldest lady's courtyard." β
"Uncle and they can know the situation of the eldest lady, and when they come back, the eldest lady will also ask the uncle and them, the best of both worlds." Huo Baoying made a decision, "Okay, you go to do something, I'll go to the old compound in person." β
When Huo Baoying arrived at Qi Dongrui and Qi Jiao's courtyard, the people in the courtyard immediately bowed down and greeted him.
"How is the eldest daughter-in-law doing these days? The lochia can be drained clean, and when it is cleared, go to Dr. Huang immediately, don't delay the time. Huo Baoying Yin admonished, and the people waiting in the courtyard were stunned for a moment, but soon responded.
When Huo Baoying entered the inner room, Qi Dongrui was sitting on the edge of Qi Jiao's bed, the two were looking at the little doll that had just woken up, Qi Dongrui saw his mother first, got up to say hello, Qi Jiao also saw it, and struggled to sit up completely.
"Eh, eh, don't move, your body can't move now, it's all because the family doesn't like this ceremony." Huo Baoying hurriedly stepped forward to stop Qi Jiao, and helped the person to lie down on the pillow again.
"My body is better, don't drop the medicine every day, and there is no taste in my mouth?" Huo Baoying's series of cordial greetings flattered Qi Jiao.
"Where's Hongling?"
"Old lady, the slave is here."
