Chapter 299: Man Xi Gets Acquainted with Lady Qin
Mrs. Lin was in turmoil, but she couldn't stop, now she had more important things to do, that is, to persuade Mrs. Qin to help her, so that the Zhenguo Mansion could recognize Hua Manxi.
When she got out of the west courtyard, she immediately restrained the anger and worry on her face, changed into her usual indifferent face, and walked directly to the courtyard of Huamanxi.
Hua Manxi was naturally not interested in the noisy things of the Lin family, she returned to her yard and immediately took a bath, washing away the smell of oil smoke on her body.
Although Mrs. Lin is ruthless, but the face work is good, the clothes in her house are prepared by her, the best fabrics are used, the cut clothes are all famous masters in Kyoto, the embroidery is exquisite, the style is novel, comfortable and noble.
She wore a light blue cardigan with a white jacket, and a flowered skirt of the same color on the lower body, and asked the maid to comb her hair, which was a little more eye-catching than when she usually dressed up. Sure enough, the ancients were honest and I did not deceive, people rely on clothes, and horses rely on golden saddles, which is not unreasonable.
As soon as she finished combing her hair, she heard the maid outside whisper, "Hello, madam." ”
Hua Manxi had vaguely guessed in her heart what she was coming for, but she still stepped forward calmly to salute and said in a low voice, "Manxi has seen Madame." ”
Mrs. Lin nodded, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Hua Manxi was wearing a new set of clothes, with a soft waist, a slender body, a clear and beautiful face, and a degree of advance and retreat, which looked several times better than her unconscious daughter!
"Manxi, my mother has something to ask you for help." Mrs. Lin could see that Hua Manxi was a smart person, and she didn't go around the bend anymore, so she went straight to the point.
"Madame can just say something directly, you don't have to be polite." Although Hua Manxi can't say that he has low eyebrows, he is also respectful and polite, and he is not an unreasonable person.
"That's the case, Feng Xuan caused some trouble today, maybe our plan is going to be advanced, now you go with me to see me alone." Mrs. Lin said briefly.
Hua Manxi didn't say much, just nodded.
Mrs. Lin finally felt a little stable in her heart, if there were any more moths here in Huamanxi, she would not be able to hold back.
She prepared a generous gift, took Hua Manxi to the Qin Mansion, and directly asked her subordinates to hand her worship post to the concierge.
Hua Manxi has been on the carriage and did not get out of the carriage until the porter opened the door to invite Hua Manxi to get off the car with the traction of the subordinates.
Mrs. Lin followed the gatehouse into the Qin Mansion, Hua Manxi went to the Zhenguo Mansion, and now lives in the Weiguo Mansion, these two are also among the best in Kyoto, the home is beautifully decorated, but if compared with the Qin Mansion, it is a little worse.
Sure enough, no matter how noble the family is, it is still not as good as holding real power in their hands.
Now that Qin Xiang holds real power, Shen Shao is green and blue, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, and the Qin Mansion is naturally the first family in Kyoto.
Everyone said that His Majesty hated the Zhenguo Mansion, but the Qin Mansion was the in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Qin Xiang was the brother-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion, but Qin Xiang was able to meet the source left and right, and neither side was offended.
Hua Manxi was thinking about it, Mrs. Lin had already paused, and suddenly changed to a voice that was a little softer than usual, and said familiarly: "I can be regarded as seeing you, your courtyard is becoming more and more refined, and a few more scenery have been added, if it is not for the porter to lead me, I am afraid I will not be able to recognize the way." ”
"Who made you busy, and you didn't come to my house a few times throughout the year?" Mrs. Qin was making tea in the pavilion, and when she saw Mrs. Lin, she laughed.
"I'm busy? You're busy, aren't you? I'm so cheeky and always bothering you. Mrs. Lin stepped forward very familiarly, and naturally beckoned to Hua Manxi, "Manxi, come on, I've seen Mrs. Qin." ”
"I've seen Mrs. Qin." Hua Manxi bowed slightly and said softly.
Actually, she was really a little nervous in her heart, this is Xu Jinfei's aunt, she can be regarded as seeing relatives, right?
"Hey, it's you! Aren't you the girl who made the grilled fish last time? I ordered someone to bring the grilled fish back to my grandfather to eat, and my grandfather ate three bowls of rice! When Mrs. Qin saw that it was Hua Manxi, she was very pleasantly surprised, "I sent someone to Yipinju to ask, and they all said that you have chosen the imperial chef, so it will not be easy to eat the dishes you cook in the future, and this happened to come to the door!" ”
This is a surprise for Mrs. Lin, although she has long known that Hua Manxi is the imperial chef who won the golden knife, but she did not take her seriously, there are so many imperial chefs selected every year, in the end, there are few who can please the master, besides, His Majesty and the Queen Mother, what kind of delicacies have not been eaten? No matter how delicate and delicious the food is, in their eyes, it is only a function to fill the stomach, and they do not value the appetite.
But Mrs. Qin's wives are different, in addition to taking care of the things in the house, they like to have a small banquet when they have nothing to do, chatting and comparing with the ladies in Kyoto.
"Manxi, do you know Mrs. Qin?" Mrs. Lin was secretly happy in her heart, but she pretended to be disgusted and said, "You are a child too, since you know Mrs. Qin, why don't you tell your mother?" ”
It would be Mrs. Qin's turn to be surprised, she looked Hua Manxi up and down, and found that she was indeed a little more luxurious than the last time they met.
Xu is dressed up for the sake of dressing up, a precious Yunxia brocade on her body is worn on her, no more, no less, no less, very fit, slender, slender, beautiful and elegant, firm, not humble or arrogant, but it is indeed everyone's demeanor.
"Mother, this flower chef, could it be the eldest girl you just picked up from your house?" The matter of the Lin Mansion's recognition of relatives was very large, and it did not mean to hide it, so Mrs. Qin had also heard about it a little, but she didn't expect that the Lin girl who recognized her turned out to be an extremely superb chef.
"Exactly, no, I just recognized her, I couldn't help but bring her to recognize people, since Sister Qin likes her cooking, and now I've had dinner for a while, why don't you let her make some snacks?" Mrs. Lin glanced at Hua Manxi and motioned for her to follow her words.
If it was someone else, Hua Manxi would inevitably shirk it at this time, but this person is Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin is Xu Jinfei's aunt, if she marries Xu Jinfei in the future, she will have to interact with the people in this house, and she will have a bad impression in front of her at this time, but it is not beautiful.
"Madame is right, I happen to be hungry and want to borrow the kitchen of your mansion, I don't know what kind of snacks Mrs. Qin likes?" Hua Manxi asked generously.
Mrs. Qin felt that she had accidentally exposed the shortcomings of her gluttony, and was a little embarrassed, so she excused herself: "How can this be embarrassing? You are a guest, I should be the one who entertains you, how can I let you cook? ”
Although she said this, Hua Manxi looked at her eyes, but she was obviously hungry, she felt that this Mrs. Qin was a little interesting, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Qin is too polite, I am a junior, you are an elder, there is nothing to cook you a supper, and besides, I cook quickly, but it is just a gesture." ”
Mrs. Lin was also a little impressed when she saw Hua Manxi like this, and after thinking about it, since she had already negotiated the conditions with herself and wanted to marry to the Zhenguo Mansion, she must also know the relationship between the Xu Mansion and the Qin Mansion, so she would please Mrs. Qin like this.
This girl looks smart, isn't she also clinging to the powerful? She is a girl from the countryside, how can she recognize herself as her mother-in-law, occupy the title of the eldest daughter of the Weiguo Mansion, and have a relationship with the Zhenguo Mansion, what a great creation this should be! She's also smart and knows how to take chances.
Speaking of which, this Xu Mansion's family affairs are indeed good, but it's a pity that the town is a cripple, otherwise, she doesn't have to abolish this Zhou Chapter - of course, the most important thing is that the Xu Mansion is not liked by Jinshang, and now the Zhenguo Gong is still alive, His Majesty cares about the city defense camp and the Shenji Battalion, as well as the Northern Xinjiang Army, so he doesn't dare to move the Zhenguo Mansion, but once the Zhenguo Gong is gone, the prince is now crippled, and the Xu family will definitely face a bloody storm.
At that time, as long as she unites the power of the Lu family and dissociates herself from Hua Manxi, she can avoid being implicated.
Mrs. Lin's heart had already turned a thousand times, but her face was silent, and she smiled at Mrs. Qin: "The child is right, what do you want to eat, just talk to her, what do we have to do with it, my daughter, that is, your daughter, do you still need to be polite?" ”
Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Lin also had a good relationship before they got married, so they nodded at the moment, still a little embarrassed: "In that case, Chef Hua, you can make some meat skewers from the last competition, I only ate two skewers that time, and they robbed them all, and now that I think about it, I still can't forget it!" ”
"That's simple, it's fast, and you can eat it while it's baked, and it's best to eat it while it's hot." Hua Manxi responded and said politely to a person with a snorting appearance behind Mrs. Qin, "Take me to the kitchen, find a stove for me to put charcoal on the fire, and put a piece of barbed wire here." ”
The subordinates naturally did so, but Mrs. Qin looked at Hua Manxi with some consternation and said, "Put it here?" Is Chef Feihua planning to cook here? ”
Hua Manxi nodded and said, "Kebabs are the best to eat fresh and hot, and the cooking tools required, that is, a stove to put charcoal on the fire, and a piece of barbed wire will do, and I will go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients now." ”
When Mrs. Qin saw her say this, she recalled the mutton skewers she ate last time, the mutton skewers were really tender and spicy, very delicious, anyway, they were delicious, very delicious.
"Lu Miao, your daughter, it's very interesting." Mrs. Qin said with a smile when she saw Hua Manxi walking away.
Mrs. Lin was waiting for this opportunity, and suddenly changed her face, and said with a solemn expression: "Sister Xu, in fact, I have something to ask for this time!" ”
