【V160】Self-inflicted
Aunt Meng entered the house fifteen years ago, she is the daughter of a serious family, just because the family has not said the right family affairs, the rich and noble family looks down on her, and she looks down on the common people, and she looks down on the age of the common people, although the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty are later married than the women of the previous dynasty, but there are not many who are still married after seventeen, she gradually worries about her relatives, her mother took her to the temple to ask for marriage, she drew a lottery, she was overjoyed, thinking that the family affairs finally had fallen, in fact, it was true, she encountered a few small thieves on the way home and was rescued by the Xiao family guards passing by.
She still remembers the towering man, like a beast ready to attack, she just looked at it from a distance and felt that she was trembling, such a man is much more terrible than a thief, but if it is her husband, he will be able to protect himself well.
It's just that the man didn't look at her after all, but another elegant and thin son walked down from the carriage on the side, and the son asked her if she was injured and needed a doctor, she looked at the son with tears in her eyes, and the childe's eyes flashed a trace of surprise that was difficult to hide.
Aunt Meng also learned afterwards that the tall and mighty man was the famous generalissimo Xiao Zhenting, Xiao Zhenting was not married at that time, and the elegant son was Xiao Zhenting's eldest brother and had married a wife.
Aunt Meng was deeply annoyed, it was obviously Xiao Zhenting's guards who saved her, why wasn't Xiao Zhenting the one who looked at her?
If he can marry Xiao Zhenting, he will be Mrs. Xiao, but unfortunately there is no if in the world, a few days later, the grandmother of the Xiao family came to the door, and she was ordered by Master Xiao to ask her if she would like to enter the house as an aunt.
Compared with marrying into a small civilian household to be a bad wife, of course she is more willing to enter the Xiao Mansion to enjoy the inexhaustible glory and wealth, but she never expected that the heir of the Xiao family was not her own master, and that elegant and clear appearance was just an appearance.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhenting is a tolerant person, no matter how his eldest brother comes, he doesn't see that he has the intention of letting his brother split up the family, she thinks that as long as she can give birth to a son and a half daughter for her master, she will not have to worry about her life in the Xiao family in the future, but she is blessed and never got pregnant after giving birth to Xiao Zilin.
Xiao Zilin is her only flesh and blood, she really put a hundred hearts into this child, after making trouble in the Chengwang Mansion, the eldest lady asked the family law, beat her daughter's hand swollen, and punished her daughter to kneel in the cold ancestral hall, her daughter was so frightened that she had a serious illness, and she did not get better until today.
Aunt Meng hated the eldest lady for being ruthless, and she also hated Yu Wan for being scheming, but she had learned the eldest lady's methods, and she didn't have the courage to fight against the eldest lady, but Yu Wan looked at the young one, and I heard that she married into the young master's mansion by climbing the bed, no matter how you look at this girl, she will come to clean her up after a while, and let her know the fate of bullying her daughter!
Yu Wan and Xiao Ziyue went to the grape trellis, bunches of green grapes hung under the green branches and leaves, looking at the heavy, these grapes were in a ventilated and quiet wooden lattice walkway, the next person knew that they were coming, and prepared all the ladders and stools.
Princess Cheng knows martial arts, where can I use these? A whip struck, and a bunch of grapes arrived.
"Wow!" The little sisters opened their mouths wide with envy.
Princess Cheng was in the limelight, and picked several strings with a whip, which made everyone envious.
"Let's pick it too." Xiao Ziyue said.
The grape trellis is not high, Poria cocos is such a tall person, you can pick it with your bare hands, and the daughter of normal height needs to use tools, and the ladder is supported by the next person, but there are still thousands of gold who dare not go up, so they will step on the stool.
Xiao Ziyue was timid and wanted to step on the stool to pick it up, but when she saw Yu Wan calmly go up the ladder, she also asked for a ladder, and the two powerful mothers-in-law clamped the ladder to the pillar and held it firmly with four hands.
Xiao Ziyue stepped on it cautiously and cut her first bunch of grapes with scissors.
Yu Wan had already cut seven or eight bunches, she was used to doing farm work, and picking grapes was naturally not comparable to these pampered daughters, she picked almost enough, and when she turned her head and saw Xiao Ziyue looking at herself with an aggrieved face, she moved her mind and handed over the bunch of grapes that she had just cut.
Xiao Ziyue seemed to have a beloved candy, and caught it with a basket with a smile.
With Yu Wan's help, Xiao Ziyue's basket quickly became heavy.
"Sister Yu help me, help me!" A little sister surnamed Zhang also handed over the basket.
Xiao Ziyue called Yu Wan's sister-in-law, and the little sister didn't want to call her sister-in-law with her, so she called Sister Yu instead, which was more affectionate than calling the princess.
"Okay." Yu Wan cut a string and handed it to her.
"I, I, I...... I want it too! Another little sister came over.
"Here you go!" Without waiting for Yu Wan to pick it off and give it to her, Princess Cheng came with a whip, and a bunch of green grapes fell steadily into her basket.
"Princess Cheng, Princess Cheng!" This little sister ran towards Princess Cheng.
With the help of Yu Wan and Princess Cheng, everyone's baskets were soon filled with fresh grapes, although they didn't pick them by themselves, but they took them by themselves! It's much more fun than throwing a pot!
"Let's go brew!" Xiao Ziyue said happily.
Everyone nodded in unison.
This time, the winemaker invited is the daughter of the owner of a winery in the capital, a few years older than them, it is said that she is recruiting a son-in-law at home, and now she has inherited her father's business, because it is the woman Dr. Xiao who made an exception to allow Xiao Ziyue to invite people into the house, but the location of winemaking cannot be selected in Xiao Ziyue's Rose Courtyard.
In Mrs. Xiao's words, it was her daughter's boudoir, and not all ninth-rate people were qualified to enter it.
"In Bixiaju." Xiao Ziyue said with a smile.
Bixia lives in the west of Xiao Mansion, not far from the large kitchen of Gongzhong, and will pass by a vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden in Xiao Mansion is planted by the people who have nothing to do, and Shangguan Yan doesn't care about this.
"What's that?" A little sister asked.
She was referring to a kitten shuttling in the vegetable garden, but Yu Wan was like a vine that was worn by the kitten, Yu Wan said: "It's a sweet potato leaf, which can be cooked." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Ziyue was surprised, "Can that one cook?" ”
Yu Wan nodded, now is the season to eat sweet potato leaves, stir-fried with vegetable oil and garlic cloves, the taste is better than other seasonal vegetables, she remembers that when she was a child, her aunt's house had a large sweet potato field, and in the summer, her aunt went to pick sweet potato leaves and fry them for her to eat, and the sweet potato leaves that could not be eaten can also be used to feed the pigs, killing two birds with one stone.
Xiao Ziyue hadn't eaten it, but since her sister-in-law said she could eat it, she would definitely be able to eat it.
Xiao Ziyue called Ganoderma lucidum: "You let the kitchen fry a sweet potato leaf." ”
"Huh?" Lingzhi was stunned, isn't that thing used to feed pigs? But since the second lady wants to eat, she just lets the kitchen do it.
She doesn't understand the world of Miss Qianjin......
Lingzhi went to the kitchen to explain, and the kitchen immediately complied.
On the other side, the maid who was sent out by Aunt Meng to keep an eye on her came back and reported the whereabouts of the group of people in the morning.
Xiao Zilin was also there, and when she heard that Sister Chang and them were picking grapes and making wine, she was so jealous that she was going crazy, such a fun party, the second sister didn't call her!
Aunt Meng thought about it in her heart, a hillbilly is a hillbilly, and the things used to feed the pigs should be fried to a group of big daughters to eat, or let this group of people eat bad stomachs, and see how she ends!
This group of people alienated her daughter, and they deserved this fate!
Aunt Meng was on fire some time ago, with abdominal pain and bloating, the doctor prescribed a bottle of croton powder, once a day, no more than half a spoonful at a time, Aunt Meng gave the croton powder to the henchman and let her put it all in the dish.
The taste of croton is somewhat similar to moldy spicy peanuts, and the processed croton powder removes the musty smell, only a little pungent, and it is not easy to be noticed when mixed in the dish.
Zuo, but this time it was almost time for dinner, and the henchman mixed all the croton powder into the sweet potato leaves that were about to start the pot under the banner of adding vegetables.
This kind of pickling thing can't let her daughter know, Aunt Meng instructed her henchmen outside the courtyard, and she stood outside while shaking a fan while waiting for her henchmen to come back.
Aunt Meng was able to enter the eyes of Master Xiao because of that face, so many years have passed, Mrs. Xiao has long been old, but Aunt Meng is still graceful, Lord Xiao has framed Sister Xiao Zilin in the past few days to punish Xiao Zilin, and she has not set foot in Aunt Meng's yard for several days, and suddenly when she sees Aunt Meng's amorous appearance, where can you bear it? Immediately walked towards Aunt Meng.
Aunt Meng's heart jumped, and she hurriedly bowed: "Master." ”
In the past few days, I have been worried about Xiao Zilin, and everyone has become haggard, but I feel more and more pitiful, Master Xiao immediately put the eldest lady's warning behind, and took Aunt Meng's hand into the courtyard.
and his wife may also pay attention to some rules, so the concubine does not have to, Master Xiao plans to have a break with the concubine at noon after dinner.
Now that he has made up his mind, Master Xiao hurriedly asked people to urge the vegetables.
Master Xiao went to the kitchen with him, and the kitchen was preparing the lunch of Xiao Ziyue and his daughters, which was ordered by Mrs. Xiao, and she and the master did it later, and took care of the girls and guests first, no one expected that Master Xiao would let the next person come to pass the dishes in advance.
"That's it, this, and this." Chang Sui picked up a few dishes casually, put them in a food box and carried them away.
Those are steamed vegetables, there are many in the steamer, take them away, don't worry, unfortunately the plate of sweet potato leaves that are newly out of the pot is gone, and the dishes next to it can be changed if they are gone, but the sweet potato leaves are what Xiao Ziyue specified to eat.
The cook couldn't, so he had to ask someone to pick another basket, and now he fried it for Xiao Ziyue and them.
Master Xiao is from the city, and Aunt Meng is also a native of Beijing, and she has never suffered the hardships of ordinary people in the middle of the family, and the only people who can let her put down her body to serve are the two masters of the Xiao family's big house.
"I'll come, and you all stand down." Aunt Meng took the food box and set the dishes and chopsticks wisely.
Xiao Zilin was very happy that her father came to see her.
Aunt Meng is also happy, even if her daughter makes a mistake, as long as the master spoils her, she and her daughter will still have a good life.
A family of three walked down to eat, I don't know if it was because of a good mood, this meal was very fragrant, especially the plate of stir-fried vegetables, I don't know what kind of dish it was, smooth and flavorful, with a touch of spicy, spicy but not dry, very suitable for the appetite of Master Xiao.
Aunt Meng saw that he liked it, so she gave him more.
Bixia Pavilion, the sweet potato leaves that Xiao Ziyue asked for were also served on the table.
The daughters had worked all morning, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger, so they washed their hands and began to eat.
"Which is the sweet potato leaf?" Xiao Ziyue asked.
Lingzhi pointed to the plate in the middle: "This, miss." ”
Xiao Ziyue gave everyone a pair of chopsticks, and she also tasted it, it was really better than cabbage.
Princess Cheng was born in the grassland royal court, and she eats a lot of mutton on weekdays, but there are not many types of vegetables, at least she has never eaten such a "vine", and it looks no different from ordinary vegetables!
But she tasted chopsticks, there was no bitterness of other vegetables, it was smooth and tender, and it tasted great!
One plate is not enough for a few small rice buckets to eat, so the kitchen adds another plate of fried food and a plate of cold mix, which can make a few people happy.
Aunt Meng's yard, Master Xiao also had a good time, but he was not in a good state after he was happy, he suddenly had some stomach pain, and soon it was a severe pain, super pain!
He covered his stomach and ran to Gongfang.
"Auntie......" Xiao Zilin's stomach also hurt.
"You two...... Aunt Meng frowned strangely, and was about to say something when her stomach began to tumble.
The people in the yard didn't understand what was going on, why did the old lady and the third lady all go to the toilet? I don't have enough for myself, and I also take up their subordinates!
At first, everyone thought it was simple diarrhea, but after a while, they gradually realized that something was wrong.
"Quick! Tell the eldest lady! ”
The elder of Master Xiao went to the courtyard of the eldest lady and told the eldest lady about the stomach trouble of the three people, and when the eldest lady heard that the dead ghost had gone to the courtyard of the concubine again, she was angry: "You deserve it!" ”
Chang Sui bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything.
Mrs. Xiao was angry, but in the end it was her husband and her child's father, she didn't really sit idly by, she took the house doctor to Aunt Meng's yard, and the three of them were so weak that their faces turned white.
The doctor hurriedly took some bentonite and let a few people take it.
Bentonite has a strong antidiarrheal effect, Aunt Meng and Xiao Zilin ate less, and quickly stopped, Master Xiao was not so lucky, Aunt Meng saw that he liked that dish, in order to please him, she sandwiched most of the plate into his bowl.
The huge movement surprised Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Shangguan Yan asked.
Master Xiao's house is restless, for so many years, it is either this aunt who has made trouble, or that aunt who has sprinkled, Mrs. Xiao felt embarrassed, and she didn't want to see Shangguan Yan, so she said vaguely: "It's bad to eat." ”
This is Shangguan Yan's business, the middle feed in the house is in Shangguan Yan's hands, her people are not good enough to eat the eldest brother's stomach, she immediately asked Xingzhu to call the people in the kitchen: "What are you doing?" Did you do something unclean? ”
The subordinates knelt on the ground in an uproar, and the cook led by him said, "Second lady, you are wronged!" The dishes we cook are all clean! Second Miss, they also ate! They're fine! ”
This is true, today's dishes are all out of a pot, and if you want to say that they are not clean, they will not be clean.
"What kind of dish did you cook today?" Shangguan Yan asked.
The cook told the names of the dishes one by one.
Shangguan Yanliu frowned: "Sweet potato leaves? Can this thing be eaten? "Could it be this big brother's stomach that has broken down?
"You can eat what you can eat! Second Miss, they have eaten several plates! The cook said.
Shangguan Yan let Xingzhu go to Bixia Pavilion, the attic is remote, the news has not yet reached here, several people are happy to eat vegetables, and at first glance, there is no difference.
Xingzhu inquired about Poria cocos, and the ladies did ask for three plates of sweet potato leaves.
It doesn't seem to be a pot of sweet potato leaves.
Shangguan Yan instructed: "I'm tired of Dr. Jiang to check the dishes that the eldest master and the third lady of Aunt Meng have just eaten. ”
The house doctor tasted the dishes on the plate one by one, and only the soup was left on the plate containing the sweet potato leaves, but the spicy taste made the house doctor taste it: "Back to the second lady, there is croton powder here, and the dose is not small." ”
It is a medicine, but if the dose is too large, it will also make people have diarrhea and dehydration to death.
The cook's face turned pale: "I don't!" Old lady Mingjian! I don't know anything! ”
Mrs. Xiao stood up coldly: "Don't you know if you don't know?" Then tell me, who ordered the old man's croton powder?! ”
