Because it is rare for the two daughters to come back together, and Shi Ke will also stay in Beijing for a while, it is rare for the Hou Mansion to be lively.

Even the second and third rooms were called by the eldest lady to have lunch together, just to make it more lively when there were more people.

During the meal, the male and female dependents are separated, which also makes it easier for them to talk in private.

All kinds of food on the table were neatly stacked, full of aroma, and after all the family members were seated, the female envoy brought a big bowl of fish soup and said, "Big lady, this is the fish head soup made by the cook brought by the little prince." ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she quickly nodded, and while stretching out her hand to greet her, she said, "Come on, come on, put it in front of you!" ”

"The cook?" Shi Qingqian was slightly flustered, and after asking, it turned out that Shen Shu had brought the chef who specialized in making fish over, and couldn't help complaining: "This Shen Shu...... It's just a day out, which is too exciting. ”

"The seventh brother-in-law feels so sorry for his sister, it's really enviable." Shi Zhenxiang on the side said with a smile.

After speaking, she was glared at fiercely by the third-room lady on the side, Lin Xiaoniang rolled her eyes silently, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of food.

Shi Qingqian naturally looked at it, but for the sake of the family, he didn't say anything about it.

To say that this Lin Xiaoniang has no vision at all, she is only a concubine, and she is not qualified to dine at the same table with the main wives, just because the third lady of the third room happened to go back to her parents' house, and Lin Xiaoniang is Shi Zhenxiang's biological mother, so Shi Shangfei, the master of the third room, brought her with her.

The murder of the concubine in the third room is something that Shi Qingqian has known since birth, and it is just that Lin Xiaoniang is the overlord in the third room, and everyone who comes out is to give the third master face, but she really thinks of herself as a character.

Others don't say anything, they just watch it as fun.

"Well, this fish soup is delicious and has an endless aftertaste, and it is worthy of being the chef chosen by the little prince," the eldest lady nodded with a smile on her face after tasting the fish soup, "I want to drink a bowl every day." ”

Shi Qingqian on the side had already drunk two bowls of soup for the third night, and when he saw the eldest lady smiling at herself, she quickly replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, this cook doesn't bring the same three meals a day, and can make more than 20 kinds of fish soup. ”

"Hahaha, you girl, your mother is amusing you!" The grandmother who was sitting on the throne said, "Just kidding, can your mother really rob people with you girl?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's the granddaughter's 'gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain'." Shi Qingqian said playfully, making others laugh.

Whenever it's time to have fun, there will always be one or two 'rat droppings', and you have to stir up a pot of porridge to stink.

I saw Lin Xiaoniang twisting the spoon pretentiously, taking a sip of fish soup slightly, then gently put it down and picked up the handkerchief to wipe the corners of her lips slightly, cleared her throat slightly, and said: "Ahem - this fish head soup is indeed delicious, it seems that the little prince is really spoiled by our sisters, I heard...... This cook was hired for the fifteenth day of January? ”

As soon as he saw her like this, Shi Qingqian knew that she was going to be a demon again, so he nodded vigilantly and replied with a smile: "I don't know about this silver, but Lin Xiaoniang knows it clearly, and the one who has been a lady for a few years is more vigilant than me." ”

"Where is the vigilance, it's just that the treatment of the cook in your family is too good, I think it's rare," Lin Xiaoniang replied with a lovely look, "I don't know if it's because the Yanwang Mansion is much bigger than the Hou Mansion's family, even a cook can be treated so well, it's really envious of others......"

Originally, the wives in the Hou Mansion, even the old lady, didn't like this little lady.

There was originally a Lin Xiaoniang in the big house, but later because the concubine Shi Peng caused trouble, she was sent away together. Shi Yuan raised his eyebrows with the eldest lady, and the affairs of the court were even busier on weekdays, so he did not accept any more concubines.

There are two or three concubines in the second room, but the second master Shi Heqing is a decent person and can't do anything to spoil the concubine and kill his wife.

But the third room is very different, the matter of spoiling the concubine and killing the wife is already lawless, this Lin Xiaoniang relied on that foxy face, and no matter how many times she poured, she still made a comeback. These days, it has become more and more unreasonable, and Mrs. Sanfang said that she went to her mother's house, who didn't know that at that time, because this woman was so crowded that she felt that she had lost face, so she lost her temper and went back to her parents' house.

The eldest lady's face had already changed, and she said impatiently: "Lin Xiaoniang, it's already a reward for letting you come to the table to eat together, what do you want to say here?" ”

"Where is the insinuation on the concubine's body? It's just that I heard that the emperor has ordered to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and ask for thrift, and my sister still doesn't want such a big battle in the future, if you ask people to listen to your mother's house, you will take the cook with you, not to mention how the Yan Wangfu is, I am afraid that the Hou Mansion will also be said to be disobeying the emperor's order......"

"Smack!"

Before Lin Xiaoniang's words fell, she only heard Shi Qingqian slap the chopsticks in her hand on the delicate small porcelain bowl, the voice was sudden and very harsh, and the people at the table were stunned, but when they turned around, they saw that she was still calm.

"Is Lin Xiaoniang confused, when does my dignified Princess Yan need to listen to a three-room concubine's room." Shi Qingqian said, "Since ancient times, wives and concubines have been different, this favored concubine and wife killing is a thing that can't be taken on the table, Lin Xiaoniang, you are already a broken rule, I don't know if you are restraining yourself, do you still want to promote the world, saying that our Hou Mansion favors concubines and kills wives, and etiquette collapses?" ”

It was clear that she was saying that Shi Qingqian had a big shelf and was too extravagant when she went back to her parents' house, but she was suddenly taught by her that she was pampered and arrogant? Lin Xiaoniang secretly gritted her teeth, and couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.

The old lady on the side has long been unaccustomed to this Lin Xiaoniang, just because she has no reason, how can she handle it lightly now that she has caught it?

So he straightened up and said, "It stands to reason that it is not my turn to interfere in the affairs of your wives and concubines, but I don't know who asked you to run a cheap concubine to the table to eat!" Big lady - how did you arrange to be the housewife? ”
