Chapter 264: A Shrewd and Capable Woman
Zhao Yan saw Wu Mei trembling with laughter, and immediately thought of a possibility.
warned: "You don't have to get involved in this matter, when you see Xu Yingniang, you are not allowed to talk about Zhennanhou for half a word, otherwise, if there are any rumors, I will not spare it." ”
He took Wu Mei to Buyiju.
Xu Yingniang is exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and soon became familiar with Wu Mei, since then she often invited Wu Mei, Huang and Sun to go to Buyiju to taste her newly made pastries or something, and almost all the female dependents in Yucheng have received her invitations.
That woman was very unusual.
"Oh, you think too highly of me, who is Sister Yingniang, how can I be at my mercy?" Wu Mei looked at Zhao Yan incredulously, pouted and said, "Don't worry, I only watch the excitement, so I won't get involved in the matter between them!" Besides, how can outsiders get involved in this kind of thing, can I still send Zhennanhou to Xu Yingniang's bed? ”
"If you know, it's good." Zhao Yan felt the same.
Pei Ze and Xu Yingniang are not easily at the mercy of others.
The couple gossiped for a while, flirted and scolded, and then Zhao Yan got up and went to the study in the front yard.
The nurse Yu opened the curtain and walked in, and whispered a few words in Wu Mei's ear: "I heard that it was Zhennanhou's carriage that went to pick it up in person, but I don't know why, Mrs. didn't check out, and left the green apricots and yellow peaches to watch the house." ”
"Let her go." Wu Mei snorted coldly, "It's her who doesn't live by herself, and I didn't let her go, so let her pretend to be filial if she is willing to pretend to be filial." ”
She knew the woman of the Gu family better than anyone else.
knew that she pretended to be weak in front of her father, because of the last naval battle, she went back to her hometown to live for a few months, and she shouted that she had to come back to see a doctor in order to save her grandmother, but in fact she just wanted to prevent her father from taking a concubine.
Her father is a dignified county magistrate, what's wrong with taking a concubine?
"But if the adults ask...... "Yu looked at Wu Mei inquiringly, "Madame is the main mother after all." ”
Even for the sake of Wu Wei's face, adults have to treat Mrs. well.
"Why are you so long-winded?" Wu Mei said impatiently, "Even if my father asked, she is also willing to go to the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and people go to her daughter, can I stop it as a stepdaughter?" Tell Dr. Hu that in the future, she will go to Zhennanhou's Mansion to settle the bill, and ask him to prescribe more ginseng and deer antler velvet to go in, anyway, Zhennanhou has silver. ”
Yu Shi said yes.
After a pause, he said, "Madam, just now Ya Po sent someone here, you see?" ”
"You go and pick two handsome looks, and send them to Tongcheng honestly." Wu Mei walked to the window, opened a corner, glanced at a few little girls standing in the yard, quickly closed the window, and said in a low voice, "After picking, send it out quickly, don't let the adults know, if the adults ask, just say that I want to find a few rough girls, but none of them are successful." ”
Her father just took on a beautiful concubine.
When the daughter's, send two more through the room to serve, and that woman to death!
"Yes!" Yu retreated.
"Wait......" Wu Mei called out to Yu again, "find a way to spread this matter to Madame's ears, let her know that she is already old, and men can no longer look down on her." ”
The moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The family sat in groups.
There weren't many people, and there were no separate tables.
Wang's Zhang arranged a large table of dishes, Gu's spirit was very good, Xu's mother helped her sit down, and praised: "My mother is really a good craft, this meal is not eaten, and it looks fragrant." ”
"Hey, I'm just going to make it, where to cook these dishes, it's all made by the chefs." As soon as Wang sat down, he kept giving peppercorns and vegetables, "You eat more, if you are fast, it will be born at the end of this month." ”
Hua Jiao frowned: "Mother, I'll just come by myself." ”
Wang had to force her to eat meat, but she didn't want to eat meat at night.
Gu Shi couldn't say anything, just laughed.
Pei Ze turned his head to look at his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and pushed his bowl in front of the peppercorns with an expressionless face: "If you don't want to eat, put it in my bowl." ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.
I thought to myself, did he remember?
Huajiao raised her eyes and glanced at him, to make sure that she had heard correctly, so she picked up the chopsticks and picked all the meat in the bowl into his bowl, Pei Ze ate it without saying a word, and very enthusiastically Wang and Gu spread the dishes one by one, and asked Gu in a warm voice: "Mother-in-law has lived in a habit, if there is any need, just open your mouth." ”
"Thank you, Master Hou, I'm used to living here." Gu Shi was a little flattered, and said politely, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”
"Mother-in-law, don't see outside, live in peace, I'll find a few more doctors to come over and show my mother-in-law when I go back." Pei Zexu was in a good mood, and said with a pleasant face, "I believe that my mother-in-law will get better soon." ”
"Thank you for your care." Gu's eyes were moist.
Pei Ze said to the Wang family again: "Because of us, you and your father can't be reunited, and my mother has worked hard." ”
"As long as you are good, my mother will be at ease, not to mention hard work." Wang wiped his tears and said, "Third child, as long as you can remember your father and mother and your family, my mother doesn't want you to be a high-ranking official, my mother just needs you to be safe." ”
"Don't worry, I remember." Pei Ze bowed slightly.
Hua Jiao looked at Pei Ze quietly, and secretly wondered in his heart, this man is so abnormal today, is there something hidden that can't be done?
She inquired about the proprietress of Buyiju, and heard that Xu Yingniang was a stunner in the world, who had been crawling in the powerful pile for more than ten years, and all the men who had seen her were all fascinated by her, in addition to her cooking skills, she also liked to prepare all kinds of spices.
Pei Ze should also be fascinated by her, right?
Just thinking about it, Pei Ze scooped a piece of seaweed cold slices for her with a soup spoon: "I asked people to buy it in Buyiju, I think it's pretty good, you can try it." ”
The peppercorns ate obediently.
The crystal clear cold powder slices are mixed with a little shredded meat skin, just like a pair of freehand paintings, mixed with fried crushed peanuts, minced garlic, and green coriander, lubricated and delicious, refreshing and fresh glutinous, both the fragrance of sea vegetables, and the fragrant glutinous meat skin, and it tastes a little elastic, and Sichuan pepper likes this taste very much: "This cold slice is really refreshing, I like to eat it." ”
It is not greasy or greasy, and it is cool in the mouth.
It's perfect for her current tastes.
"Then eat more." Pei Ze scooped two pieces of peppercorns, and wanted to scoop them to Gu's again, Gu Shi hurriedly said: "I take medicine, I can't touch the seafood." ”
Pei Ze gave up.
Get up and bring some lighter meals to her.
Wang also tasted a piece of cold powder and smiled: "I thought it was some kind of strange food, isn't it just sea vegetable jelly, Sichuan pepper has also made it before, but she made it more delicately, and she can't see the sea vegetables." ”
Hua Jiao then came to his senses and said with a smile: "I remember, I also did it when I was in Wutong Town, the third brother likes to eat it very much, the difference is that the sea vegetable jelly we make is brown, and the cloth Yiju makes this transparent, because of the meat skin, so it tastes a little bounced, they made it with the sea vegetable and the meat skin, and the method is indeed exquisite." ”
I have to say that Xu Yingniang is indeed a shrewd and capable woman.
It can be seen that her cloth clothes are not all supported by connections, and her cooking skills are also amazing.
"It's hard to say, when you go back to Wutong Town, I'll do it for you." The Wang family responded with a big package, and looked at Pei Ze suspiciously, "Third brother, how did you get that sea vegetables, you ask someone to buy some tomorrow, let's come back and do it ourselves." ”
