Chapter 176: Mother-in-law (1st Shift)

Hearing a strange noise in the carriage behind him, the new driver who came on an errand felt a headache.

At this time, if he stopped the carriage, he would definitely make the adults go home disappointed.

Seeing that he was about to return to the adult's mansion, he gritted his teeth, whipped the horse, and continued to drive the carriage around the adult's mansion.

After about half an hour, he finally heard Yu Wenyan's satisfied voice: "Go back!" ”

"Hey~!" The coachman answered, and drove the car back tremblingly.

When he stopped the carriage in front of the weeping flower gate, he saw his lord gently carry the sleeping lady out of the carriage, and then carried the lady back to the inner courtyard with a gentle expression.

The coachman's jaw dropped in shock.

This is the popular "living Yama" who kills people without blinking? If he says it, I'm afraid no one will believe it, right?

Just when the coachman was muttering to himself, Tang Quan suddenly appeared.

He patted the coachman on the shoulder and said with a gloomy expression: "If you want to be here for a long time, you should know what you can and can't say!" ”

"Ah...... Steward Tang ...... "The coachman was startled when he didn't know that there was someone behind him," I ...... I understand......"

"Well, that's good!" After Tang Quan responded to this, he threw a small ingot of broken silver to the coachman, "Today's errand is good, this is your reward!" ”

After speaking, Tang Quan turned around and left.

The coachman couldn't help but weigh the suddenly extra broken silver in his hand, about one or two taels.

"It's a good job, isn't it?" The coachman pinched his face in disbelief, not wanting to believe it was true.

On the second day, Shi Jinxiu slept until the third pole of the sun.

After she opened her eyes lazily, the cuckoo stood in front of the bed and whispered: "The housekeepers and mothers-in-law everywhere are waiting in the courtyard for the lady to show off. ”

As soon as Shi Jinxiu heard this, he sat up.

"Then why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Shi Jinxiu held her forehead with a headache, four days after she got married, she got up three days late, I really don't know what these mothers-in-law in the yard will think of her!

The cuckoo pursed his lips and smiled: "It was specially ordered by the adult!" He said don't wake you up if Madame doesn't wake up. ”

Shi Jinxiu glanced at the cuckoo: "When did you listen to him like this?" Haven't you always been afraid of him? ”

"As long as he treats his wife well, I won't be afraid of him!" The cuckoo said with a grin with Shi Jinxiu.

In order not to make the mothers-in-law in charge wait too long, Shi Jinxiu went to the courtyard after washing.

I saw six or seven mothers-in-law standing in the courtyard with their heads bowed, all looking like they were in order.

"Let's go talk in the flower hall." Because many of these people came from the eldest princess's mansion, Shi Jinxiu didn't dare to snub them.

When the mothers-in-law heard this, they quietly went to the second house one by one.

Their house is located in Ping'anfang, at the junction of the inner and outer cities, and it is a four-entry house with a cross-courtyard.

In order to facilitate her use in the future, Yu Wenyan only occupied the first courtyard to make a study to meet foreign guests, and a martial arts training hall for practicing martial arts on weekdays; the second entry made a flower hall for Shi Jinxiu to entertain the ladies and a fragrant room for researching incense; The third entrance was the bedroom and living room of the two of them; As for the fourth entrance, it is used to house the maids and mothers-in-law of the family.

After Shi Jinxiu sat down in the flower hall, these mothers-in-law asked Shi Jinxiu to say goodbye together.

Shi Jinxiu saw at a glance the two housekeepers in the kitchen that he had seen before.

Because she was always in a hurry before, she didn't have much time to ask them, but this time she looked at them and smiled and asked, "What should you call them?" ”

These mothers-in-law glanced at each other, and then the mother-in-law who had seen Shi Jinxiu twice smiled and said: "My husband's surname is Yao, and everyone is used to calling me Mrs. Yao, who has always been in charge of the red case in the kitchen. ”

Shi Jinxiu nodded when she heard this, and looked at the other housekeeper in the kitchen: "What about you?" I remember the last time you came with this Yao's mother. ”

"Madame is so careful, I am Mrs. Fang who is in charge of the white case in the kitchen, Madame likes to eat what pasta just tell me, there is no pastry in this capital that I don't know how to make." The lady replied with low eyebrows.

"I've heard a long time ago that the eldest princess has a master who is very good at making pastries......" Shi Jinxiu smiled with her.

"It's just not a talent." The mother-in-law replied.

This made Shi Jinxiu very surprised.

She originally thought that the eldest princess sent over was just the apprentice of the pastry master, but she didn't think that it was actually a cut of love and sent her over.

"Then how many of you ......" After having this level of understanding, Shi Jinxiu felt that the rest of them would not be simple.

"I'm the Qi woman who is in charge of purchasing."

"I'm Mrs. Huang in the tube needlework room."

"I'm Mrs. Zhou, who is in charge of the flower and herb house."

"I'm Mrs. Wu who is in charge of the treasury."

Shi Jinxiu nodded with them, trying to remember their respective appearances.

Several mothers-in-law also took the opportunity to ask Shi Jinxiu for some things before retreating.

After dealing with these things, Shi Jinxiu only felt that he was hungry, so he stretched his waist and asked Du Juan to send someone to pass the meal: "In the past, it didn't seem to be a difficult thing to see the eldest aunt in the Changxing Marquis Mansion, but it was really my turn, and I found that this matter was really not easy." ”

"Is there one?" Du Juan walked to Shi Jinxiu's side and squeezed her shoulder, "But I think Mrs. just now coped with it easily, and those mothers-in-law didn't ask anything tricky and weird!" Moreover, I think the things they ask are quite easy, and I know how to answer them without you opening your mouth, ma'am. ”

"Are you sure?" Shi Jinxiu looked at the cuckoo with some disbelief.

"What's not certain about that? I'm a worm in your stomach, ma'am! The cuckoo thought about it and smiled and said, "They just ask some ladies what they like to eat, what they use, what kind of clothes they like, what flowers and plants they like to raise, and so on. ”

Hearing Du Juan say this, Shi Jinxiu found that this was really the case.

The cuckoo grew up with her since she was a child, just like her own sister, and these problems of the mother-in-law really bothered her.

"Well, you'll answer them tomorrow." Shi Jinxiu looked at the cuckoo and smiled, "If you answer well, you will be the master of these things for me in the future." ”

Because she has more things to do, she can't spend all her time on the things that are short in these parents.

The cuckoo listened and nodded excitedly.

"But there's one thing I can't do." Du Juan muttered to Shi Jinxiu, "Mrs. Wu, who is in charge of the treasury, told me that my lord is not sure which furniture you like, madam, so he deliberately left these rooms empty and waited for Mrs. you to decorate them......"

"So what?" Shi Jinxiu raised her eyebrows with the cuckoo when she heard this, "Who was boasting about Haikou just now and saying that he was a worm in my stomach?" That's it, can't make up your mind? ”
