Wang Xi knew that Mrs. Tai was distressed by her mother, but she still didn't like to hear it if she said too much.

As if how much her mother had been wronged in their family?

Aren't all the grievances suffered by her mother given by the Marquis of Yongcheng?

She felt that there were some things that she needed to make clear to the old lady: "My great-grandfather was a glutton, and because of this, our family also opened several restaurants, one of which you should have also heard of, called Chunfeng Lou." By the time my grandfather arrived, not only did he have all the cooks in the family, but he also wrote a book.

"My mother learned to make kimchi because my grandmother was old at that time, her appetite was not very good, she ate hard, and she was unwilling to eat without kimchi every day, so my mother wanted to honor my grandmother, so she made kimchi a few times with her own hands."

Or it's with heart, it's actually better than what their cooks do.

Speaking of this, Wang Xi became a little excited: "The kimchi made by my mother is delicious, she added orange peel and rock sugar to the kimchi, not to mention the crispy pickles, the orange peel increases the fragrance of the pickles, and the rock sugar neutralizes the saltiness of the salt water, which is very refreshing, and won the praise of my grandfather, and then our family's kimchi recipe was improved according to my mother's wishes." Because of this, my grandfather also rewarded me with two shops! ”

The more she talked, the more greedy she became, thinking about the kimchi her mother had soaked, and her saliva was about to flow out.

Mrs. Tai was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said, "Why did your mother come up with a new recipe for kimchi, but your grandfather rewarded you with two shops?" ”

Wang Xi thought of her grandfather and grandmother's love for her, and smiled so much that her eyes were crooked into crescents, and said, "Because my grandfather asked me if it was delicious, I said it was delicious." I also told my grandfather that kimchi should also be eaten with barbecue. My grandfather was happy to hear this, so he rewarded me with two shops! As for my mother, my grandfather rewarded my mother with two hills! ”

After all, it is a border land, and there are many mountains, so you can reward it.

Mrs. Tai smiled and did not speak.

Wang Xi knew that the people of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion always looked down on their house, and after thinking about it, he decided to give the old lady a little thorn.

She beckoned to Mrs. Tai, as if you were coming over with your ear.

If other people do such actions, whether it is Mrs. Tai or the people serving in the house, they will definitely feel too frivolous, but Wang Xi's eyes are shining, her expression is playful and cute, you will only think she is childish, not arrogant.

Mrs. Tai was even more willing to coax her and cling to her with kindness.

Wang Xi whispered: "Mrs. Tai, I only tell you. Don't tell anyone. The two hills that my grandfather gave to my mother produced gold. It's worth the money! ”

Mrs. Tai's heart beat as she listened.

Gold mines have always been owned by the royal family. Mining privately is the crime of exterminating the nine tribes.

The Wang family is really bold.

But the Wang family dares to do such a thing, I'm afraid that the officials at the top and bottom have already been complicit!

If this spreads out and is used by people with intentions, it is not a matter of two families.

If you can't get it, the entire southwest officialdom will be overturned.

This kid is still too young to be serious.

The people of the Wang family are too, knowing that the child is still young, how can they let her know these things?

Mrs. Tai couldn't wait to cover Wang Xi's mouth, and hurriedly told her: "You child, this kind of thing, even your grandmother, you shouldn't tell it." In the future, you can't say everything like now, depending on who is good, you know? ”

Wang Xi smiled sweetly, said, "I know", and refilled a little tea for Mrs. Tai as if making amends, and said, "Don't worry about my mother, my mother is fine in our house." She had a lot of dowries, all of which my father prepared for her, and later my grandmother and grandfather gave her a lot of things. When she was fine, she and my fifth aunt made clothes, made jewelry, played horse hanging, went to the temple to eat fasting, and took care of my second brother's homework. ”

Her second brother's name is Wang Sheng, and she is a fellow mother, five years older than her, she has liked to read since she was a child, and she was admitted to Xiucai last year and is traveling outside.

Mrs. Tai was in a trance for a while.

The Wang family seems to have more money and power than they think.

She suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and no longer asked about her daughter, but asked Wang Xi's second brother: "Why did you let him go out to travel, he should come to the capital, and ask your uncle to find him a better teacher, and prepare to take the exam." ”

"Of course he likes to travel!" Wang Xi disagreed, and said, "My grandfather said that it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles." If you can't even tell the difference between narcissus and garlic, and you can't be a person, what else can you talk about being an official! ”

She didn't want to talk more to Mrs. Tai, after all, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion and their Wang family have very different attitudes towards things, each has its own way of life, there is no need to blame or think about changing others, but she also doesn't want to hear others accuse her family.

"Don't worry, my second brother will definitely end up, and he is still preparing to be admitted to the Jinshi!" Wang Xi changed the topic at the right time, "The dim sum I brought to Hongluo Temple yesterday is delicious!" I asked them to make the five blessing cakes. However, kidney beans have to be soaked for a day and a night to be delicious, and they can be made tomorrow. I'll bring you a taste of it when the time comes. ”

Wufu cake is made with five kinds of beans and glutinous rice mixed with sugar. She likes to use mung beans, red beans, soybeans, black beans and peanuts, but the kidney beans in the capital are very delicious, so she changed the black beans to kidney beans, and after making it once, it is also delicious. Seeing that the Buddha Bathing Festival is coming, she is going to make some more to give to the rooms of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion to taste.

It's also a liaison relationship.

Mrs. Tai's smile became even bigger, and she said continuously: "It's delicious, it's delicious." That Qingtuan is especially delicious. ”

Elderly people especially like to eat soft and glutinous things, Wang Xi's Qingtuan is from the south of the Yangtze River to buy green wormwood and glutinous rice, wrapped in sweet red bean paste, made naturally extraordinarily delicious.

Wang Xi smiled brightly.

The grandfather and grandson sat together and talked with a smile.

A plate of steamed anchovy sits alone on the table.

When Chang Ning, the second lady of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion's long room, walked in, she saw such a scene.

She couldn't help but pout secretly.

Wang Xi came to curry favor with Mrs. Tai again.

Although her mother, Mrs. Hou, had told her Wang Xi's identity in private, and also told her to get along with Wang Xi well, saying that they were about to get married, and they could live under one roof today, and they didn't know if they could meet tomorrow, no matter what Wang Xi was, let her endure it, and it would soon pass.

There are many poor relatives who come to their house to fight the autumn breeze. Chang Ning is not a person who likes to find trouble, but Wang Xi is too unlikable, relying on her grandmother's guilt in her aunt's heart to rob her grandmother's love for their brothers and sisters, not to mention, she is still very arrogant.

disgusted with the small size of their house, so they built their own house; I didn't like that their food was not delicious, so I made a small kitchen and didn't say anything, but brought her grandmother a dish today, and sent a few snacks to her grandmother tomorrow.

Chang Ning has grown so big, and it is the first time he has seen someone come to someone else's house to be a guest and do so unkindly.

She glanced at her two cousins, Chang Yan and Chang Ke, who were walking behind her.

Chang Yan's eyes were filled with coldness.

Chang Ke lowered his head, and his heart turned a thousand times.

It's supposed to be anchovy on the table, right?

It must have been Wang Xi who bought the filial piety of Mrs. Tai again.

She's really rich.

She must be very pampered at home, and when she comes out of the cabinet, their family will definitely be willing to give her a rich dowry, even if her identity is not obvious, she should be able to marry a good family.

is not like her, who is right with the Hou Mansion, and looks down on her background. High marriage, unlikely. Marrying low, people come with requests, and she can't get a rich dowry, even if she is reluctantly married, life may not be easy.

I don't know what awaits her?

Chang Ke's face was a little pale.

Chang Ning couldn't help but curse in his heart, "I can't get on the stage", changed his smiling appearance, and walked over.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly asked the little maid to show the three of them a seat, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" Have you had dinner? ”

Chang Yan's father and the Marquis of Yongcheng are compatriots, both are the biological sons of Mrs. Tai, after the Marquis of Yongcheng attacked the lord, and under the promotion of his brother, he sought the official position of the deputy commander of the seven-rank deputy commander in the Dongcheng Terracotta Division of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, Chang Yan and Chang Ning are naturally very close, and now they are looking forward to Chang Ning's horse. Chang Ke's father is a concubine, she never dares to speak easily on such occasions, she is very obedient in everything, and her personality is cowardly.

Chang Ning said on behalf of their sisters: "I heard that your body is a little uncomfortable, so our sisters thought about coming to see you, and we were afraid that we would be tired of you, so we chose this time." Our sisters didn't dare to disturb you, so we came here for dinner. Are you feeling better now? ”

It seems that Wang Xi is not sensible.

It's not the first time that Wang Xi has been stabbed like this by her so-called cousin, but she didn't hear it - with her knowledge, the more you pay attention to a person like Chang Ning, the more energetic she is, if you ignore her, she punches the cotton, but the more angry she will be.

Of course, this is also because Chang Ning is like this, but he is angry but can't hurt her.

If Chang Ning went too far, she wouldn't mind telling Chang Ning how to behave.

Wang Xi smiled like a flower and greeted Chang Ning.

The corners of Chang Ning's mouth were tightly pursed, and he was very angry, but he could only press it in front of his elders.

Wang Xi was in a good mood when he saw it.

Mrs. Tai is good at looking at everyone, where can she hear that Chang Ning is hiding words in her words, just when Chang Ning is here to visit her, she said happily: "I'm fine, don't worry." I'm just getting old, I haven't been out for a long time, and I'm too tired to go out. Then he shook his head and said, "People are old, and they can't admit defeat!" I think back then, when I took your father and them back to my parents' house, I didn't get tired after walking for a few days, and when I rested at the post station at night, I accompanied your father and they bowed in the yard......"

Since she got married, the old lady has only returned to her parents' house once when her mother was sick. Probably this was one of the things that the old lady was very happy about, and she often brought it up and talked about it. Wang Xi has not been here for a long time, and he has listened to it several times.

Several little girls of the same age listened to Mrs. Tai talk again, and Mama Shi saw the stitches, and immediately asked Mrs. Tai to show if it was time to have dinner: "Otherwise, this anchovy should be cold and not delicious." ”

"Look at me, when I speak, I lose everything." Mrs. Tai suddenly urged Mama Shi to serve the food, and said to the three granddaughters, "You all add a little more." Ah Xi brought the anchovy, and you all came along to try it. ”

It wasn't sent by her mother, Wang Xi borrowed flowers to offer Buddha!

Chang Ning complained in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he sat down with Chang Yan and Chang Ke, and had dinner with Mrs. Tai and Wang Xi without saying a word.

The young masters and old men of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion also came over to greet Mrs. Tai one after another.

Wang Xi went to sit in the east room, and waited until several young masters and masters came to greet Mrs. Tai, and then they went to Mrs. Tai's west room again, and drank tea with several wives and grandmothers in the house.
