Chapter 154: Dignity and Humility
When Tong Manjiao returned to Tong's Mansion with the cage, only Zhou and a group of servants were waiting at the door.
Protecting her stomach with one hand and getting out of the carriage with the hand of the servant girl with the other, Tong Manjiao had a hint of gloom on her face.
The expected welcome did not exist at all, no matter how much Tong Manjiao wanted to be aggrieved, but it was not good to attack immediately.
It is said that the daughter Mo Ruo's mother, the Zhou family can see at a glance that her daughter is unhappy, but there is no way, now the only people in the house who can be the masters are these slaves, even Tong Manji, the girl, is getting more and more out of control, and she is dedicated to the Su family.
"How are you doing on the road? Didn't bother you, did you? ”
Tong Manjiao felt her mother's concern, smiled lightly, glanced at the people with their heads lowered, and said with a little coquettishness.
"Where the mother said, the carriage of the palace is naturally excellent, where can it bump the daughter, the velvet blanket spread inside is specially found by the prince."
Isn't it just specially found, the best tiger skin blanket, the best quality piece was given to the princess, and the remaining leftovers ordered the embroidery girl in the palace to sew it carefully into a piece, and she couldn't see it when she looked at it.
Zhou saw that his daughter's complexion was ruddy, her breathing was long, and although her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, her steps were still light, and her heart that had begun to hang from knowing that she was happy was finally slightly relaxed.
Tong Manjiao couldn't find a sense of existence in the palace, and she was really bitter compared to Liang Jing every day, so she had the courage to ask Yang Zhimin to go back to Tong's Mansion to live for a few days, but she didn't expect Yang Zhimin to agree without hesitation.
Now his mind is on Liang Jing, and it is not only unexpected, but also a little uneasy after all, to agree so readily.
Of course, these Tong Manjiao will not confide in front of the Zhou family, and this time they came back to show off their bright future.
Tong Manjiao wanted to go to Songhua Garden to meet Mrs. Tong for the first time, but was stopped by Zhou.
Only then did I know that the old lady actually began to recite scriptures and believe in Buddhism, or after that illness, the old lady who was unwilling to interact with many people was even more bored.
Although he believes in Buddhism, there is no shortage of meat in the pine birch garden, and I don't know if this ungodly belief will be punished by the Buddha.
The matter of Tong's Mansion was finished in a few words, and Zhou asked Tong Manjiao more about how her life was in the palace, since that day, a sedan chair carried her into Yuwangfu, and it was the first time to see each other today.
The side concubine has no qualifications to return to the door, not even the qualifications of the provincial relatives, this time to come back is an exception for King Yu, and it is also a disguised way to make people feel that the child side concubine is extremely favored, this is not the child side concubine can take things back to her parents' house as soon as she opens her mouth, free and beautiful.
"The princess is also pregnant, but is it difficult for you? I heard that the place where the man was born was a poor place, and my mother is really worried about you, and if she embarrasses you regardless of her face, won't you suffer? ”
Tong Manjiao pulled the corners of her mouth, as far as Liang Jing's brain is concerned, if there is no prince to protect her, where is her opponent.
"Mother doesn't need to worry, the princess treats me very well, she has never felt sorry for me, the affairs of the palace have been taken care of by my daughter before, how can the princess be embarrassed by me?!"
Zhou was right when he thought about it, he ate and drank Lazar in his hands, and he was not afraid of the princess who had no name.
"No, you come back to live, the affairs of the palace ......"
"The prince said that pregnant people should not work, and the affairs of the palace will be taken over by Yan Zhangshi for the time being, after giving birth to a child...... The prince didn't mention it, but with his daughter's understanding of the prince, it should be the same as before. ”
"That's good, that's good."
chatted with the Zhou family for a long time, Tong Manjiao didn't find Tong Manjiao's figure, although the two had a dispute before going to the palace, but after all, they were siblings, and after all, it had been so long, Tong Manjiao would not be angry and refused to come to see him.
As soon as Zhou heard Tong Manjiao inquire about Tong Manjiao, his brows furrowed tightly, and there was a trace of resentment in his tone, in addition to dissatisfaction.
"It is said that the daughter is extroverted, that girl is not wrong at all, but she has not yet married after making a marriage contract, thinking about the kid of the Su family for three days, and today she went to Hanlian Garden to learn art."
"Learning?"
"Well, learn to cook! said that Su Zhao's family likes to eat the snacks she makes, and they should learn more before they get married, and run to Hanlian Garden in three days. ”
Tong Manjiao not only did not annoy her sister for not coming to see her side concubine, but stood up with great interest.
"I'm also curious about what she's learned now, so I'll go and see, and by the way, follow the instructions of the imperial doctor and take a walk to practice her legs and feet."
"Okay, if you want to go, I'll go with you."
"No need, I'll just go by myself, my mother will rest, and suddenly I miss the osmanthus sugar rice cake made by my mother, so I will work hard for my mother once."
"What do you say is hard, make it for my grandson, no matter how hard it is, I'm not afraid, you come back early, the sugar rice cake won't taste good when it's cold."
"Okay."
Tong Manji is learning to make crab roe lion head with Pearl, and the lion's head is a large meatball in the eyes of people who don't understand food.
But crab roe lion's head is a classic dish in Jiangnan, and Tong Manji wants to learn how to make it, so that Su Zhao's family can taste the authentic Jiangnan flavor.
After the hairy crab is steamed, the crab roe is taken out, and the fish slurry is made of white fish with a delicate taste, and the crab roe fish slurry and pork are stirred in one direction, plus green onions, ginger and wine, and the silk is stirred all the time.
Tong Manjiao has learned a lot of things with pearls for a while, and thought that mixing stuffing was not a problem at all, but now that she really got started, she complained bitterly, Tong Manjiao just walked into the courtyard of Hanlian Garden, and heard her sister's wail, as well as Pearl's undisguised schadenfreude laughter.
"Pearl, don't laugh, I'm really tired of my hands, you can help me."
"Of course I can help you now, do you want me to help you when you marry Su Shangshu's family in the future?"
"I ......"
"Even if I want you to help?! You don't know how to be respectful and humble when you speak, you really have no rules. ”
"Sister...... What do you say! ”
Looking at Tong Manjiao who suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen, Tong Manjiao frowned instinctively, and what she was about to say when she opened her mouth changed her mouth after seeing her slightly bulging lower abdomen.
"What is wrong with this side concubine? She's just a maid, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Shangshu family in the Criminal Department in the future, and she doesn't understand the rules when she talks to you like this. ”
Tong Manjiao glanced around the kitchen and didn't see anyone she wanted to see, and her frowning brows deepened.
"Why are you here? What about the third sister? Throwing you alone to this undisrespectful maid? ”
"My county lord naturally has something to do, and the slave remembers that the grade of the side concubine doesn't seem to care about the county lord, right?"
Without waiting for Tong Manjiao to say anything, Pearl was the first to choke out, to Tong Manjiao, Pearl was just indifferent before, but now it is a solid disgust, and all those who are hostile to the master are not good people!
