Chapter 016: Spring (6)

What's wrong?

She quietly asked the maid in the cottage, had the autumn pattern been to the study bedroom, but had she asked where the old aunt and grandmother's bedroom were? The answer is no.

She even asked the groom, and the groom still shook his head.

Chunqin waited for Lan Ze to come back. Every time I think of him, my heart hurts. As soon as it hurts, you need to eat a plate of densely boiled lily porridge. She freshened up and walked to the kitchen. At this time, it was still early, and there were naturally people in the kitchen, but they were only a few mothers-in-law on duty.

She didn't want to alarm anyone, she just wanted to find some lilies, a little red rice, a little brown sugar, take them back to her bedroom, and put them on a crockpot to simmer over low heat.

After a turn, he happened to collide with a person.

The man panicked, hiding something in his elbow, and it fell to the ground with a "click". Chunqin was also taken aback. If you look closely, it turns out to be a piece of boiled pig's trotters.

What surprised Chunqin even more was that the one who took the pig's trotters was actually the grandmother surnamed Zhao who took care of the old aunt's house.

Mama Zhao looked at Chunqin and said no, neither laughing, nor explaining.

Chunqin spoke first. "You always go to the kitchenette to get it?"

She didn't use the word "steal", she was saving face for this grandmother.

"Girl, I'm old, and my teeth are not good, and I can't get used to the meals I usually cook in the kitchen. It's really unpleasant. It's just this soft and glutinous pig's trotters, which are smooth to eat. I didn't mean to, I was hungry indeed. I really can't chew those hard vegetables they fry......"

Mama Zhao said as she spoke, with a look of grievance.

Chunqin sighed as she listened. "I'm glad I saw it. If you call someone else, you won't be so lucky. ”

When the mother heard this, she quickly bent down and stuffed the pig's trotters back into her sleeve.

"Next time, if you really want to eat, tell me, I'll buy it for you outside."

"Girl, what's so embarrassing?"

"Nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm not used to the people in the kitchenette. I bought, bought and called you. In fact, Chunqin herself loves to eat soft and glutinous pig's trotters. She also goes to buy it often.

Chunqin can't get used to Pan Niangzi.

But she didn't want to cause trouble. Just waited for the old lady to let herself go, and then begged the uncle, and became a husband and wife with Shi Lanze, and there would be no regrets for the rest of her life.

As soon as she heard this, Mama Zhao kept pleading.

"Let's go. Looking back, look at the old house and be careful. ”

"Alas. Girl, this time I have learned a lesson, and I sleep at night with my eyes open. ”

Chunqin smiled.

Mama Zhao walked in front, and Chunqin looked behind. The floor of the porch is clean, but now there are two faint gray lines of grass snakes. She was curious. I thought about it, but I laughed dumbly. This is obviously Mama Zhao's heels went to the small kitchen, and the soles of her feet stepped on charcoal ash and were dirty.

It seems that this stewed soft pig's trotters was taken by her in the stove.

If this time is in normal times...... Presumably it is the fire girl autumn pattern on duty. She was gone, and the other people in the stove room were lazy, so Mama Zhao stole it so quickly.

Chunqin muttered to herself: "In the end, she is wronged, or she is really a thief, God knows!" ”

It is said that Qiu Wen has been in the firewood room for three days. The food delivered every day is so crude that there is no way to eat it. The mother-in-law who delivered the meal was sent by Mrs. Pan and acted in accordance with Mrs. Pan's wishes.

The meals were all ordered by Mrs. Pan.

Mrs. Pan was worried about the long nights and dreams, thinking that instead of waiting for the uncle to come back, it was better to quietly drive Qiu Wen out first, and there would be no confrontation in the future.

She was ready to do that.

Helplessly, the people guarding outside the firewood room were dispatched by Li Xiangui. They are all young daughters-in-law in their thirties and don't listen to Mrs. Pan. Mrs. Pan is just the leader of the kitchen, and she is not someone who can talk elsewhere. In the eyes of these young daughters-in-law, Mrs. Pan is nothing.

This small kitchen has no autumn patterns, one day is okay, two days and three days have passed, but it is a bit messy.

No, it's a mess.

The kitchenette has several stovetops. But only the stove with the autumn pattern is used to stew pork, beef and mutton. The stew is laborious, so it needs to simmer slowly, and add firewood while simmering. This consumption is often a day and a night.

The people in the small kitchen can't bear this hardship.

Some people are actually talking about the benefits of autumn patterns.

A mother-in-law whispered: "Although that girl's hands and feet are not clean, she still can't say anything when she gets to work." ”

The other also said: "Those thirty boards, although they are not splitting the flesh, they will get better day by day, but they must also be carefully recuperated." The firewood room was pitch black, and there was no good food, so I was afraid that I would have to contract other diseases. ”

As soon as Pan Niangzi and her daughter combined, they saw that they couldn't get the autumn pattern out, so they simply worked the meal. Chun Yan bought laxatives and added diarrhea powder to Qiuwen's rice bowl. It's not her who is hungry, but she can be killed by diarrhea every day.

In order to protect herself, Chunqin's mind became more and more evil.

It is also God's mercy. Although the firewood house is damp and dark, such an environment is suitable for the growth of mushrooms and wild mushrooms. The food delivered every day was really hard to swallow, and Akimoru simply didn't eat it. She tried to eat the mushrooms once, but they were not unpalatable, but slightly sweet. Autumn Pattern relies on eating mushrooms and wild mushrooms every day to survive.

Ten days passed, and Mrs. Pan and Chunyan came to see the autumn pattern. Guess how the girl is staying in the firewood room these days, whether she is half-dead or simply dead, I have to come and take a look.

But the gatekeeper wouldn't let the mother and daughter in.

Mrs. Pan went crazy. Recently, her brother got another errand with the second master, and he was very dignified. The old man Shi Yuan knew about it, and specially asked his brother to kowtow and rewarded him with a lot of things. My brother has gained dignity, and Mrs. Pan also has a face, and her voice is louder, which is more like Qiuwen's life and a cat and a dog.

Mrs. Pan quarreled with them.

These two daughters-in-law are also sharp-toothed. They crossed their waists, pointed, and foamed at the mouth.

Someone reported it to Chunqin.

Chunqin sat embroidering under the porch, and when she heard Pan Niangzi arguing with the people in the firewood room again, she frowned and wanted to ignore it. She is a person who has more than one thing and is better than one less. The one who knows the details will call her a "lazy bodhisattva" in private.

The little girl in this report said with her eyebrows fluttering, and Chunqin only warned coldly: "Do your own thing." The people in the kitchen, we don't care. That fire-burning girl was punished by Li Xiangui, and it has nothing to do with you and me. I just want to live quietly here, so that I can wait for my uncle to come back. Don't get into trouble with me. It's okay, I can let you sleep and talk. ”

Chunqin felt a little sympathetic to Autumn Pattern in her heart, but she just made up her mind not to go out.

The kitchen in this mansion is different from others. There is actually a large kitchen in the house. The big kitchen is cooking the old lady's favorite food. Aunt Sun and the ladies in the house, as well as the second grandfather Yuquan, also have their own small kitchens. My wife also has it, but she is usually in the monastery, and the kitchen is empty. According to the rules of the Shifu, the leader of the large kitchen, the leader of the small kitchen in charge of all parts of the mansion, is managed vertically and vertically. The housekeepers in the yards everywhere usually don't take care of the small kitchen.

If you want to say that anyone doesn't have a small kitchen, it's only Shi Yuan's other concubine, Aunt Wen. After Aunt Wen entered the Shifu, she had not been pregnant for many years, and when she saw that Aunt Sun was favored and powerful, she became more and more low-key. There is no kitchenette, so where does she usually eat and drink?

It's also the old lady's T-shirt Aunt Wen. The big kitchen cooked the meal, and she ordered someone to bring one to Aunt Wen. Later, every time there was a meal, Aunt Wen's girl would go to the big kitchen to bring food and send it to her room. In fact, the big kitchen is far away from Aunt Wen's residence, and every time she comes back with food, it is probably cold. Aunt Wen spent money to buy a small stove, and when it was cold, she couldn't eat cold food, so she closed the door, and she and the little girl were hot on the small stove.

Just for Aunt Wen to be able to eat the old lady's food, Aunt Sun still didn't give up.

Aunt Wen was silent.

When the old lady heard about it, she ordered someone to send a message to Aunt Sun, saying that they were all the master's predecessors, and they should be considerate of each other. She is a poor wretch, and she has no children under her knees, but after a few bites of food, what are you fighting for? I have a lot of good food here, and I can't eat it every day, so I have the right to feed the dogs.

Aunt Sun didn't make a fuss anymore.

Uncle Shi Ximo's rice herb house is financially independent in the Shi Mansion, and the same is true for the small kitchen, but the old lady still intervened. What the small kitchen bought every month and how much it cost, the old lady's heart is still clear.

In this way, Chunqin didn't want to pay attention to it even more.

At that time, Mrs. Pan was still clamoring to go into the firewood room to take a look. The noise attracted the girls who were working nearby. The noise outside, and the autumn patterns in the firewood room were all heard.

She just lamented.

Why did he offend Mrs. Pan and make her so unhappy?

"What are you arguing about?"

A crisp voice sounded behind Mrs. Pan. Mrs. Pan immediately shut up. The two daughters-in-law who were guarding the firewood room were also frightened and shut up. The person who came was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. Although she is a girl, she has a golden hairpin on her head, two bracelets on her wrist, and her clothes are also brand new lake green, which looks refreshing and elegant.

"Hello Miss Qilan."

Mrs. Pan saluted her, and the spring geese also lowered her head. The two daughters-in-law also greeted each other in a proper manner.

This girl named Qilan is the big girl in front of the old lady. Since she was five years old, Qilan has been serving in front of the old lady, and now it has been twelve or thirteen years. Although she is not the granddaughter of the old lady, she looks no different from her own child. Everyone in Shifu knows that the old lady can't leave Qilan. Qilan is in charge of the old lady's food and drink, the old lady's hairpin ring clothes, and the large amount of private money.

Qilan is very powerful in Shifu.

When Aunt Sun saw her, she had to put on a smile in a proper manner.

"What are you doing?" Qilan was curious.

In the past half a month, she got a cough and became ill. The old lady took pity on her, and told her to lie down in the house. After taking the medicine and seeing the doctor, Qilan Fang felt a little better. The old lady was afraid that she would be depressed, so she told her to come out and walk around. Qilan responded, and the first one to come was Uncle Shi Ximo's courtyard.
