Song Zhao heard the word "loose", and couldn't help but sneer, "What is so good about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs?" and not to eat. When Song Zhao said this, he couldn't help but be curious: "How did you learn these messes." ”

Qingrong kept his hands on his hands, skillfully cooking noodles and cutting vegetables, and said idly while cooking: "When I was a child, I was always afraid that I wouldn't live long in the Shen family, thinking about what if I was kicked out one day." I can still support myself by sewing and mending clothes and working as a cook. In addition, embroidery and cooking are less competitive and more practical. ”

Song Zhao heard her indifferently mention the matter of her childhood in the Shen family, and his heart was a little sour. But seeing that Qingrong didn't take it seriously at all, he also said calmly: "How can it be practical?" You see other people's girls and young ladies, where can they learn embroidery and cooking well? My cousin didn't like these things when she was a child, and when we went to school, she clamored to go to school with us. When she was a child, she also said that why can a man be an official, but a woman can't. How silly! ”

When he mentioned Guan Heqiu, he always smiled and spoke in an extraordinarily gentle tone.

Qingrong shook her head and sighed, "Where can I talk to her?" Even if she is under the fence, but the old lady is kind and kind, where will she treat her aunt's cousin who is orphaned? The Shen family is different, except for Mrs. Lin and Aunt Ke, one is meaner than the other. At that time, I had Shurong, Peirong, and Ling Rong studying more energetically, and I relied on poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I couldn't get ahead. What's more, there is a run-off who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and if I want to go past her, she will chase and abuse me and throw her face. ”

Qingrong talked about the days of the Shen family, as if it was a matter of two lifetimes.

"But embroidery is good, cooking is different, I have nothing to do to make something delicious, moist and love to eat, come and go, she remembers me well." My mother also likes it, and thinks that I am sensible and caring, and I will be filial to others. "Qingrong stood in front of the stove with his waist up, talking about survival while cooking noodles seriously." To put it bluntly, learning these things is just to live well. ”

Song Zhao's heart moved slightly, he had stayed in the Shen family for half a year, and he really knew what kind of family it was. Thinking of the small, weak and stubborn figure in my memory, I gradually coincided with the self-improvement and self-loving little girl in front of me.

It seems that the more she knows Qingrong, the more she can't understand Qingrong.

"It's good for me to look at you like this. Now he can still rely on his ability to go outside to earn silver. Listening to Song Lin, the nearly four months of harvest in the Hui Quality Jingshe alone are about to catch up with the one-year income of the Guogong Mansion. Song Zhao sincerely praised Qingrong Dao.

Qingrong couldn't help but mutter, she was very secretive when she took inventory, how could she let Song Lin know.

Song Zhao looked at Qingrong on the side, his brows furrowed, guessed what she was muttering in her heart, and sneered: "Your business is good, and the whole capital knows how to make money." The royal offering alone can be estimated. What kind of skin beauty set, one costs thirty taels, which is still a very fast consumption. ”

Qingrong was very proud in her heart, how to say that she, a traveler with open eyes and a golden finger of her own skills, is not difficult to find a potential market and tap a blue ocean.

"It is difficult to develop, and the materials are good, so it is naturally a little more expensive, not to mention that this is also specially prepared for those wealthy ladies. After the New Year, I plan to develop another set of cheap ones. So that the concubines who only have a few or two months a month can afford it. ”

As soon as Qingrong talked about his grand blueprint, he couldn't help but have his eyes shining.

Song Zhao watched from the sidelines, as if he was infected, and he couldn't help but be very happy, the corners of his mouth kept supporting, and he couldn't let go of his smile.

When Qingrong finished making this bowl of noodles and went back, her own bowl was already warm, and the noodles were soaked.

Qingrong and Song Zhao didn't come, and the others were embarrassed to eat. Qingrong hurriedly beckoned everyone to dinner, but he didn't care.

Song Zhao replaced the two bowls of noodles at this time, and naturally said: "This bowl is weirdly hot." ”

Qingrong didn't argue with him, and gladly accepted Song Zhao's empathy, and several people ate together, and no one cared about talking. After a while, the bowl and plate were all eaten.

Song Zhao was a little unsatisfied, thinking that the bowl of hot noodles that had just come out of the pot might be more delicious.

After eating, Qingrong said to Song Zhao: "Aunt Jin, she has been well-behaved for several months, and she is very cooperative with my work in the inner house, I am thinking about making a pot one day and inviting them to have a meal." ”

Song Zhao was a little puzzled, "What do they have to invite?" ”

Qingrong smiled: "It's just an ordinary meal." ”

Song Zhao secretly wondered in his heart, how could Guan Heqiu finish the invitation, and Qingrong had another treat. remembered what Guan Heqiu said to her before, Qingrong didn't know what he was doing behind his back. He couldn't help but be a little wary and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Qingrong didn't notice Song Zhao's change, shook his head and said, "No, it's just to talk to you." I didn't invite them all by one. Only Aunt Jin, Aunt Tao, Aunt Guan, and Aunt Jiang performed well. ”

Song Zhao couldn't help but pout, and added, "Ah Qiu also follows the rules on weekdays, and has never caused you trouble. ”

Qingrong secretly rolled his eyes, isn't it troublesome to wrestle and pretend to have a stomachache before? But she also knows very well that even if she says it, Song Zhao will make excuses. didn't take him seriously, and only said gently: "Aunt Guan is pregnant with a child, even if she wants to invite me, I don't dare to invite." If I eat something inappropriate and hurt my body again, I can't afford to pay for it! ”

Song Zhao said: "When are you please?" I'll come too. ”

Qingrong refused repeatedly: "You don't have to, you are restrained when you come." ”

Song Zhao was a little uneasy, and ordered people to keep an eye on the Begonia Courtyard two days later, but if Qingrong had the intention of inviting guests to dinner, he asked people to inform him in time.

Qingrong chose the day at the end of the month, and she still cooked by herself.

When Aunt Jin was invited over, she sighed a little untruthfully: "The concubine thought that the young lady was fooling me, but I didn't expect the young lady to really cook herself." ”

Yin Cui has been teaching these aunts to read and write, and the four of them are already familiar with each other, so she followed Aunt Jin's words and continued: "The young lady has been preparing since early in the morning, and she has prepared a lot of materials and dishes. ”

Several aunts looked more and more honored and grateful.

Aunt Guan was flattered and said, "Concubines, how can you do this." ”

Han Cui said: "The young lady also prepared a gift box for the four aunts, and it was thirty taels of silver for a box when bought outside." ”

Aunt Tao was about to drop her jaw in shock.

Qingrong had already prepared almost everything, and let people bring the dishes up.

The aunts couldn't sit still for a while, and they all hula surrounded them, scrambling to help do something.

Qingrong was generous, and said: "You are guests today, where is there anyone who invites dinner for guests to chat!" ”

The expressions on the faces of several people were even more grateful, and they looked willing to treat them as vegetables.

Without waiting for Qingrong to beckon a few people to sit down, someone outside the door said, "The prince is here." ”

Song Zhao entered the door in response, looking in a hurry, as if he was afraid that he had missed something.

Qingrong frowned slightly, and several aunts also immediately saluted.

Song Zhao laughed twice and said, "It's better to come early than to come by chance, I have something to tell you, so I'll catch up." ”

Aunt Jin couldn't help but smile a little restrainedly.

Qingrong rolled her eyes angrily.

Song Zhao sat directly beside Qingrong, and said anti-guest-oriented: "Sit, sit." The pot made by your young lady is really delicious, and you are blessed today. ”

Several people were greeted by Song Zhao, you look at me, I look at you, and sat down slowly.

Qingrong didn't care if Song Zhao was there, anyway, her intentions and plans couldn't be disrupted.

"We've been getting along for more than half a year, and the backyard can be so peaceful, and it's also the rules of a few aunts, and it's done well." Qingrong got straight to the point and sincerely praised a few people, "I know that there are many rules in the "Inner House Code", and it is not so easy for everyone to abide by them one by one, I have to thank you." ”

Several aunts were even more flattered, and they were all a little stunned, not knowing what to do.

Aunt Guan whispered: "Look at what Madame said, abide by the rules, isn't this what the concubines should share?" ”

Qingrong said: "Some people turn a blind eye to the things that should be shared. I thank you for being so considerate of me. It's not easy for us, the days ahead are still long, let's be more considerate and live, and life can be better. ”

Song Zhao heard this very awkwardly, and said: "Hearing you say this, it seems like I am a bastard." But I'm sorry to make your life sad. ”

Qingrong didn't save face for Song Zhao, and said quietly: "Could it be that the prince of the world still thinks that you have made our lives very good?" ”

Several people were so frightened that they all fell silent and did not dare to say a word.

Song Zhao was already very accustomed to losing each other with Qingrong, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, but just smiled and said, "How do I compare with that Han Er?" ”

Qingrong's face sank more and more, and said, "How can you speak, then Han Er is a big scumbag, so he can be regarded as praising him." No matter how bad you are, you are thousands of times stronger than him, and what do you do to compare yourself with people like that, you will lose your appetite in vain. ”

Song Zhao squinted and smiled, and said calmly: "How do I think you seem to praise me, but I listen to it weirdly and awkwardly." ”

Qingrong said lightly: "Listen to all good words." ”

The two of them came and went, which caused several aunts to laugh a little, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Qingrong asked Yin Cui to bring up the skin beauty gift box, and then was interrupted by Song Zhao, and continued: "I should have given it to our own family a long time ago, but I was negligent. I also owe them a few reminders to me. ”

When Qingrong said a few of them, he naturally referred to Yincui and others.

Aunt Jin and others are becoming more and more honored,

Song Zhao couldn't help but secretly say on the side, Qingrong would buy people's hearts.

Qingrong said unhurriedly: "Listen to Yincui, you follow her to study, and you study very seriously." I also hope that you will learn well. I plan to open another small shop in the north of the city, if you learn well, you can help me. ”

As soon as Qingrong's words came out, it was simply a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Song Zhao was so shocked that he almost dropped his chopsticks and said, "What? ”
