Chapter 651: Fingertips
Autumn Yin brought over the delicate dim sum.
When the third aunt saw the snack, she said in surprise, "What is this?" Never seen before. Following Mrs. Shizi is a long insight. You can always see some rare things. ”
"It's mango cake." Chu Yuqin said: "The third aunt tasted it, I don't know if it suits your appetite." ”
The third aunt reached out and caught it.
Chu Yuqin's gaze stayed on the third aunt's fingertips.
"Auntie's Kodan ......"
The third aunt ate a snack, glanced at her fingertips, and said, "Is it good-looking?" I've recently been partial to this color. Isn't it a bit old-fashioned? ”
"No, it's pretty. It's not a color that anyone can control. Chu Yuqin ate another piece of cake with a spoon. What does my aunt think? Are you used to eating? ”
The third aunt nodded while eating: "Mm-hmm...... Delicious. Sweet but not greasy. It's completely different from the pastries I used to eat. ”
"Don't look at this little cake. This small piece can be a toss-up, and it took me a lot of time. These two girls in my yard were spoiled by me, and they ate a lot yesterday. ”
The main thing is that there are not so many useful tools here, so she has to change her cooking methods.
"What a blessing to follow Mrs. Shiko. No wonder the girls in the house want to drill into your courtyard. But not everyone here can come in. The third aunt said.
"As long as they are faithful, even if they don't run errands in our hospital, they won't be treated badly. You can go and ask. The best welfare in the whole capital should be the descendants of my Chu Mansion. Not only do they have regular days off, but they also have rewards for good performance. Every month there is a diligence award, and if there is special merit, there is also a special reward. ”
"That's because you, Miss Chu, have a lot of money. Others are not as generous as you. The third aunt said, "Did the Duchess show you the list?" Any thoughts? ”
"No idea. The Ling Guo Mansion is an empty shell. The Duchess wants me to arrange a wedding banquet, yes, then prepare the dowry. I don't have one here anyway. Chu Yuqin said. It's impossible for my sister-in-law to use her dowry to supplement my uncle, right? ”
"Now you are in charge. You say that the Lingguo Mansion is an empty shell, so you have to believe it! Maybe in the end, you will think that you have coveted the property of the Ling Guo Mansion. The third aunt said.
"Let the others say it!" Chu Yuqin said: "I don't care if I will fall out with the Ling Guo Mansion. It's a big deal to move out and live like you used to. ”
The third aunt shook her head lightly: "This is confidence." As long as you have the confidence, you naturally don't care about these things. By the way, how is Aunt Zhu's grandmother doing? Shi Ziye and Zhu Hou took her away, and they haven't let her out yet. What the hell did she do? If it is a matter in the house, it will not embarrass a woman. It can't be the one she killed, right? ”
"How do you know it's not her?" Chu Yuqin said: "We don't know the inside story, and we can't control these things. I believe that the prince will not wronged her. ”
"Aunt Zhu is pitiful. Maybe it's because they are all fallen people at the end of the world, so they are particularly touched! The third aunt said, "Forget it, I don't want to do this." If Aunt Zhu was wronged, the prince would not embarrass her, and would soon let her back. If she really did it, it would be me who interceded for her, and the prince would not give me face. ”
"Don't talk about you, I'm afraid I can't either." Chu Yuqin said: "Of course, I didn't think about interceding for her. Killing pays for life, this is an iron law that no one can change. ”
"The pastry was delicious. Anything else? Bring me some back. The third aunt wiped the corners of her mouth. I can't eat it now, I'm too full. ”
Zhu Xue teased beside her: "Auntie is really discerning." These pastries are a rarity in our area. ”
"I'll bring the rest for my aunt. We'll just do it later. Chu Yuqin said to Zhu Xue.
"Yes." Zhu Xue blessed her body.
"That's pretty much it." The third aunt said: "It seems that I will come to tease me if I have nothing to do, and maybe I can rub something good." ”
"Auntie, how much do you know about my sister-in-law's situation? I don't look very good at her. Chu Yuqin said.
"She? Your sister-in-law is also a poor person. I saw that she was emaciated, and told her to ask the doctor to come and take a look. She never took it to heart. The third aunt shook her head. I'm afraid you've heard all the about her family. After her eldest brother was imprisoned, the Jiang family sent people everywhere to plead for mercy. Mrs. Jiang came to our house twice in three days to tease your sister-in-law. Isn't this getting worse! ”
"I know that. She came to me too. But I refused. Chu Yuqin said: "I see that her situation is getting more and more wrong. Wait a minute, I'll arrange for a doctor for you, and you can bring it to her. Let's just say that it was arranged by the old lady. ”
"If you want to be this good person, why do you use the name of the old lady?" The third aunt teased.
"My sister-in-law has a misunderstanding about me. If I knew that I arranged it, I am afraid that I would not be willing to accept this kindness. I don't need her to remember this favor. Just take a good look. ”
"Okay, okay, there's nothing wrong with me taking on a favor for nothing." The third aunt said, "Then I'll run for you later." I'll get back to you when the time comes. ”
Zhu Xue has already packed the pastries.
The maid of the third aunt took it.
Chu Yuqin asked Qiu Yin to ask for a doctor. While waiting for the doctor, Chu Yuqin and the third aunt discussed those things in the house.
The doctor soon arrived at their yard.
The third aunt took the doctor to the courtyard of the Jiang family and Ling Shengzhi.
"What kind of wind blew the third aunt here?" The corners of Ling Shengzhi's mouth rose.
The third aunt nodded to Ling Shengzhi: "Is the eldest prince in the house today?" It's been a long time since I've seen the eldest son. ”
"I've been doing a bit of chores lately, so I've been out every now and then to deal with it, and it's been a long time since I've seen my third aunt. I don't know what happened to the third aunt today? Ling Shengzhi sat in a wheelchair with a chessboard in front of him.
He played chess with his left hand against his right hand, and one person played chess with two corners.
When the third aunt saw this battle, she felt that her head was big. How good can a person be to play chess with himself?
"The old lady heard that the eldest and young lady's health and bones were not very good, so she arranged for a doctor to come and see her. I brought the doctor over to take a look. The third aunt said.
Ling Shengzhi looked at the doctor opposite: "Let grandmother bother." What a shame! It was supposed to be those of us who were juniors to honor her, but I didn't expect to worry about her. ”
"The old lady also really cares about the eldest prince and the eldest young lady. She doesn't like to go out, but she cares about you at all. No, I specially asked the doctor to take a look. The young lady is in there, right? Then don't disturb the eldest prince playing chess. I'll just take the doctor in. The third aunt said.
