After sending Song Zilan away, Zhu Xiaoyan soon came to the outer courtyard. After seeing her eldest son Song Siyi, she hurriedly told her about it. Song Siyi asked tentatively: "Mother, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan snorted, remembering her husband's indifference to her these days, she hated it so much. "What do I think?" Naturally, you can't let that fox get in the door! Hmph, now that she's such a good handle, how can we miss it? ”

Song Siyi pretended to hesitate and said, "How can the second sister explain there?" As you know, she doesn't listen to anything now. If she knows, let's make a big fuss about Sheng Chonghua and Jianing, when the time comes, she will definitely not follow. ”

To say that Zhu Xiaoyan used to love her three daughters, she really loved her. But at that time, because of the abundant environment, no one in the backyard could compete with her. She naturally has the energy to take care of her daughters, but now she can't even guarantee her own glory and wealth, where does she have the energy to take care of a daughter?

is the son who can be used to maintain his identity, Song Siwen has lost his use value, and he is still used by her as a sacrificial pawn?

Therefore, Zhu Xiaoyan replied with some negative anger: "Don't mention this dead girl to me, eat inside and out, and she is not taught at all!" Really speaking, if she hadn't done such a shameless thing and had such a sin in her stomach, why would we be held hostage by Nasheng Mansion everywhere now? In my opinion, since this marriage is not taken to heart by the Sheng Mansion, then we might as well simply do it - if we don't do it, we will destroy it with the Sheng Mansion! In short, no matter what, you can't let that slut get cheap! ”

Song Siyi already had this intention in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly. Immediately hurriedly echoed, and said, "Well, mother sees it." I also think that Sheng Fu's attitude towards the second sister is too contemptuous. After all, the second sister is still pregnant with the child of their Sheng Mansion. Besides, Sheng Chonghua is so romantic, even if the second sister marries in the future, life will definitely be difficult. Let's do this for the long-term plan of the second sister! ”

The mother and son had the same smell, so they decided to make a big fuss about it. Song Siyi took the opportunity to ask his mother for a sum of silver, saying that it was used as activity funds. I need to make more friends outside the home so that I can take over the family business smoothly in the future.

Zhu Xiaoyan now pinned all his hopes on this son, and heard his son's promise to him, saying that he would redouble his filial piety to his mother in the future, so he nodded without hesitation, and thought in his heart that he would send some things out of the treasury in a few days, and put more money in the seal to make up for the growing shortfall.

The mother and son here have their own ideas, and they are all using Song Zilan as a stepping stone for their own wealth.

Poor Song Zilan is still in the dark, and even fantasizes that her mother can come up with a way to save this relationship for herself.

The next day, it was time to enter the palace for the banquet. With the lesson of the last time, this time Zichu was awakened. She still remembered that the old palace maid who gave her skirt last time sent Cinnamon to buy stinky tofu on the street early in the morning, and wrapped it in several layers of kraft paper and a layer of dried lotus leaves, and after making sure that it would not taste off, she put it into her sleeves with satisfaction.

Of course, she also has her own plans for this rare opportunity to enter the palace. No, after Jun Yuchen came back last night, she was pulled by her to make a mask in the house in the middle of the night. There were no glass jars in this era, but fortunately, porcelain vases were still easy to buy. She asked her uncle to find some delicate porcelain bottles for herself in advance, used two of them, and filled them with some mask powder made by herself and sealed them.

She prepares, at the time of the banquet, to see the right time, and to show the treasure in front of the queen. After all, no matter what era it is, women can never resist the temptation of beauty. And if the brand of its own exclusive good products has the reputation of the queen's mother, then in the future, it will be a lot easier to open the market.

When I loaded my things and got into the car, I saw Song Zilan also walking out with Zhu Xiaoyan from a distance. She glanced at Song Zilan's belly a few times meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Second sister, you seem to have gained a lot of weight recently, look, this belly has grown, it looks like you're pregnant." ”

Song Zilan had a ghost in her heart, and when she said this, she was even more reluctant to say: "Don't talk nonsense, I've just eaten more recently." Forget it, mother, I still don't go to the palace, so as not to be laughed at and gain weight. ”

Zhu Xiaoyan didn't want Song Zilan to enter the palace, lest she accidentally make some trouble. Besides, her belly is becoming more and more pregnant now, that is, Zichu didn't open her mouth before, and she was also thinking about how to let Song Zilan stay at home and not go out, so she pushed the boat down the river and said: "Okay, you can spend more time with your grandmother at home!" By the way, these days, does the old ancestor still have a good appetite? ”

"Well, my grandmother always said that she felt hungry these days, and the cook in the kitchen did what my father told her to cook two more meals a day. No, I've been eating with my grandmother these days, and I've gained a lot of weight! It's also to blame the cooks for making things that are so delicious. ”

Zhu Xiaoyan felt a little strange when she heard this, according to the old lady's age, her appetite shouldn't be so good. Generally speaking, the elderly have a weak spleen and stomach, so they do not think about eating.

And the old lady's taste has become more and more heavy in recent days, and everything she eats is thick soup red, either spicy or sour. She hadn't even heard of the things that were sometimes made in the kitchen.

But at the moment, she couldn't take care of these things, so she hurriedly took care of her own affairs, so she nodded indiscriminately and ordered someone to set off quickly.

This time, everything went well. Zhu Xiaoyan only brought Zichu into the palace alone, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he realized that the queen mother was a special case, and the ladies and girls who entered the palace today could bring a maid to serve with them.

So, Zichu took the pretty-looking Jun Yuchen, and the two swaggered to the Fengyi Palace.

After seeing the queen, seeing that the time was still early, Zichu quietly took a look, and made an excuse that he was going to go to the thatched house, and after getting rid of Jun Yuchen, he took the bag of stinky tofu that he had been carrying in his sleeve, and trotted all the way to the old lady's residence where he had given his skirt before.

It was also a coincidence that the two old palace maids before seemed to be waiting for her arrival. Seeing the paper bag that Zichu took out of his sleeve, the older lady took it very happily, and in front of Zichu, she began to grab it with her hand and ate it on the spot.

"Well, little girl, this stinky tofu you brought tastes so good, it's really made by Lao Liu Tou over there in Gou'er Hutong. By the way, how did you bring this stinky tofu into the palace and still maintain such a good temperature? ”

Zi Chu saw that she was very interesting to eat, and at first glance he knew that she was a straightforward person, and she also fell in love with herself, so she smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing difficult, you see, these layers of kraft paper should be folded in half when wrapped, so that the soup in it will not flow out." The outermost layer of dried lotus leaves is used to keep the smell from coming out. Actually, this stinky tofu smells bad and tastes delicious. Seeing that your food is so delicious, I will definitely bring more next time I have the opportunity. ”

When the old palace maid heard her say this, she laughed. The three of them were not formal, they sat down at the stone table in front of the bamboo house, and after a while, this large bag of stinky tofu was grabbed by a few hands.

After eating, Zichu also improvised a demonstration of his origami skills in front of the two. She used to be very proficient in origami in her spare time, and she also learned a lot of tricks, and at this moment, she folded a few things in front of the two old men.

A paper crane with two wings fluttering about to fly. A small boat, propped up by hand, can be placed on the surface of the water and watch it flow into the distance.

The two old men who watched this process were all smiling, and praised her for her ingenuity.

"Next time I have a chance, I'll fold you a few new things. Not today, I came out for a while, and I was afraid that I would be discovered by the queen, so I had to go back. ”

Zichu said, and saw that the two kraft paper folded out of the things were stuffed into the hands of the old palace maid. After saying goodbye, he hurriedly ran back from the same road. As soon as he walked to the door of the thatched house, he bumped into Jun Yuchen looking around there.

"I'm in a hurry, where the hell have you been? Hurry up, the queen mother is already over there to gather everyone to paint. ”

"Painting? Isn't it a good one? Why are you painting again all of a sudden? ”

The second monk of Zichuzhang was confused, but he didn't have time to think about it in a hurry, so he could only follow Jun Yuchen to the garden.

But just as the two of them hurriedly walked forward, they suddenly saw a somewhat sneaky figure. Jun Yuchen stopped very alertly, grabbed Zichu and dodged behind the pillar next to him.

"Shhhh Don't talk! ”

Zichu broke off Jun Yuchen's finger on his lips, and when the two of them secretly looked out, they saw a maid-like girl, waiting for someone in the corridor a little anxiously. After a while, someone walked towards her.

After meeting, he stuffed a small bag of things into her hand, and said softly: "This is the fresh osmanthus pulp that has just been picked, get this into Shangguan's graceful paint, and she will look good in a while." ”

"Is this thing reliable? You won't bite anyone else, will you? ”

"Rest assured, this pulp attracts hornets the most, but as long as you don't stand next to it, hornets won't bite indiscriminately. So, remember to keep Miss away from her for a while. ”

"Okay, I got it."

After seeing the two of them separate, Jun Yuchen pulled Zichu out from behind the pillar.

"What are they going to do?"

With his intuition, Zichu also felt that there was nothing good about these two sneaky people.
