The old lady Zhao, who was born in the list, drank porridge leisurely. A new cook in his family cooks a good meal that is most in his taste.

Ground fresh chicken beans, add yam and poria cocos, and slowly boil until the water and rice are harmonious, soft and greasy. It's the appetite for his old man the most.

Just when he sighed that life was comfortable, someone came to report, saying that the second son had sent someone to greet him.

"The second old man sent the little one to greet the old lady."

Old lady Zhao suddenly made a straight face, and the chopsticks slapped heavily on the table: "Tell him that I'm not dead yet!" ”

Seeing that he was angry, the family sent by Mrs. Zhao's second son, Zhao Youlin, didn't dare to make a noise, just kowtowed, and finally saw that Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, so he boldly said: "Go back to the old lady, the second master let the little old lady Mingming." In a few days, I will bring the third young master back and say hello to the old lady. ”

"What is he doing with me if he doesn't come back? Isn't the official doing it? ”

The family suddenly grinned and said: "The second master has made remarkable achievements in office, and the officials have issued an official document to promote our master to the prefect of Hangzhou." The little one said hello to the old lady! ”

When they learned the news that the second master was coming back, everyone looked forward to it. Although the old lady didn't say anything, the family was already busy cleaning the house and arranging the room. Among them, there is the expectation of the reward for the second master's return, as well as the awe of the second wife.

The second master's official frame was very small, but it was only five green tweed carriages, followed by several carts of things. This made the people watching the excitement slightly disappointed. This is similar to when the second master went out to take office.

Wang Jiuzhi was thinking about tonight's banquet, and he found a job to do in a family for Ruixue. He had already inquired about the second wife's picky person, and he had even heard that the third young master was a picky child. A cadre of officials in the county, plus the squire, this table is a bit exquisite.

But the people in the kitchen were there to learn about the situation when the second master returned.

"The second master's luggage is almost the same as when he left home." Zhao Yuan pouted and said, "It is said that in three years, the Qing Governor's Mansion is 100,000 snowflakes of silver." Although our second master is a magistrate, he has been doing it for many years, so he should have 50,000 or 60,000 silver! ”

The old cook Zhao Shan took a sip of him, where did Zhao Yuan dare to talk back to his father, and he was so busy that he was far away: "However, there are several women still wearing hats, aren't there only two girls in the family?" So much so so much? ”

The mother-in-law who came to fetch hot water smiled and said: "In addition to the two girls and the girl in front of the second wife, you don't know that the second wife has big rules and can regulate people." ”

The kitchen was very idle at this time, after all, the people who came back had to meet the old lady first, and then go back to the room to freshen up before opening the banquet. The weather is also hot now, and the dishes are prepared with cold dishes and freshly stir-fried dishes.

Zhao Yuan sighed and said, "The three masters in the family have all become officials, but they rarely come back to see the old lady!" The eldest young master got married in the capital, and the eldest master did not invite the old lady to go. ”

Zhao Shan copied the dry tobacco stick and gave it to Zhao Yuan, the old man of his family fled from the north, and he has been old for several lifetimes, this ability has not been lost, and it has been passed down.

Zhao Shan took another puff of cigarette and said, "What do you know." The old lady is also old now, and the capital is so far away, wouldn't it be a sin if the old lady is not happy? ”

"That being said, after getting married, the juniors should always come back to meet the old lady! Not to mention anything else, there should always be a grandson and granddaughter of your own to do your filial piety! ”

Speaking of which, the subordinates of the Zhao family were silent, the three masters were officials outside, and the three wives and children followed, leaving only an uncle and daughter at home. The huge Zhao family looks deserted.

Silently, the hot water came again, saying why the bath water was not ready. A group of people had to disperse.

The mother-in-law who fetched water pointed to the little girl who came over and said, "See! Not a big girl yet! He has silver bracelets on his hands. ”

*

Wang Jiu pointed to the side of chopping vegetables, and hummed a little song in his mouth to coax the crying children behind him.

"Rui Xue is good! The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are like snow and snow. The reed knows the wind and the rain the most. Wang Jiuzhi hummed a tune and changed another poem, "One goes to two or three miles, and there are four or five houses in Yan Village." There are six or seven pavilions, eighty or ninety flowers. ”

Nondescript things make the children more and more troublesome.

He knew that his daughter was hungry, but looking at the sky outside, it was not yet an hour. had to turn his body upside down and coax the child: "Rui Xue is good, Daddy will take you out to play immediately!" ”

Rao is like this, and his work is still non-stop.

The subordinates who helped in the kitchen of the Zhao family all looked straight at each other. The child made a lot of trouble, and the person who made the trouble was furious in his heart, and he could still turn it upside down, while cutting the shreds steadily, and look at the knife skills. The tender tofu can be cut into thin strips, and it is generally thick, just like that, the Zhao family's first position is his. No, the entire Chuzhou Mansion is the number one.

Put the shredded tofu in boiling water and blanch it slightly, remove the beany smell, and then take it out.

shiitake mushrooms with a slight black tinge; red ham; turquoise greens; After all the yellow bamboo shoots are cooked, cut into shreds, cut together to the thickness of shredded tofu, and put them in a bowl.

"Zhao Yuan, is the chicken soup ready? Zhao Yuan? ”

Zhao Yuan, who had been watching him cook, finally came back to his senses, hurriedly responded, hurriedly looked back at the chicken soup stewed on the stove, and reached out to lift the lid, not wanting to be burned and throwing his hands. Hurriedly pinched his earlobe, jumped to his feet and said, "Okay! ”

"As long as the soup, not a little oil. When you're done, scoop a spoonful of soup and put it in! ”

Wang Jiuzhi took the water, cleaned his hands and explained, this is the last dish. There is nothing to do with him in the kitchen, and he has to take good care of his daughter. He rubbed his hands, untied the strip of cloth on his chest, and carefully accompanied Xiao to hold his daughter in his arms: "Ruixue, daddy's little Ruixue is tired of it!" Daddy, I'm going to take you out to play. Let's go see the flowers, okay? ”

The crying stopped for a while, and after a while, Xiao Ruixue started crying again. whimpering, his little face flushed, so pitiful.

Wang Jiuzhi explained a little bit, and rushed out with Ruixue in his arms. My daughter's meal is getting bigger and bigger, and it's not a problem for him to always run to the back door!

As soon as Wang Jiuzhi walked to the small corner door of the back door, he saw a woman wearing an oil-green cotton silk armor looking out. He immediately hastened his pace to catch up, and after handing his daughter over to the woman who met him, he hurriedly turned around.

"Sister-in-law Liu, I'm bothering you again!"

Sister-in-law Liu hugged Ruixue and coaxed, with her back to the wind, sat on the steps of the corner gate, and untied her clothes. Ruixue arched in her arms, and found a place for herself, sucking in a big gulp.

Sister-in-law Liu looked at Ruixue happily and said with a smile: "Ruixue has grown again." ”

Wang Jiuzhi, who was carrying his back, smiled hesitantly, and said naggingly: "This girl has been making trouble for a long time, and she is more and more able to eat." He annoyed his head and said apologetically, "Do you have enough milk?" This girl eats, in case the five girls ...... Or I'll feed her rice cereal. ”

Sister-in-law Liu patted Ruixue and said, "The fifth girl eats less, so it's not in the way." If she could eat rice cereal, you wouldn't find me. Brother Wang, thanks to you, if you hadn't made up for me, where would I be a nurse and a mother for the fifth girl! ”

Her man had just died. She has to take care of her mother-in-law alone, and pull the two children left by her uncle and her own two children. Maybe it's good intentions, she looked at Ruixue who couldn't eat milk, and thought of her daughter who died when she was only two months old, so she fed her two mouthfuls, and Wang Jiuzhi went to the river to beat two crucian carp and made soup for herself to drink.

She originally wanted to be a nurse mother and son in a big family, so as to feed the family, but she worked hard all year round, and she didn't eat well, she was yellow and thin, and even the milk was not thick.

Wang Jiuzhi said with the same gratitude: "I still have to thank you." You're going to have to run around every day. In the morning, I heard you say that Huang Ma on the corner door wants two appetizers, and I have already prepared them and will send them in a while. ”

"It's really unpleasant to ask you to break the bank every time. It's not easy for you to carry Ruixue alone. Sister-in-law Liu patted Ruixue, who was eating good milk, and helped her burp. The Zhao family is a nurse mother and child, six taels of silver a year, plus two sets of clothes for four seasons, which is also kind. She still has a large group of people in the family, and the mother-in-law on the corner door depends on Wang Jiuzhi alone.

"I still have a tael of silver a month, don't buy anything, it's not in the way!"

Sister-in-law Liu put on her clothes again, handed back Rui Xue, who was asleep, to Wang Jiu and said, "I know, you are only doing things in the Zhao family for Rui Xue." After all, I still have to go out, don't save some money......"

As she was talking, Sister-in-law Liu looked at a figure flashing through the corner door.

Sister-in-law Liu was a little panicked, hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Jiu, and was about to leave after covering the door.

Wang Jiuzhi suddenly remembered that the people in the kitchen had said that the second wife was very strict, and hurriedly shouted: "I heard that the second wife is very strict, and I won't come to you these days!" ”

Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly agreed.

Zhao Youlin followed behind his father, thinking about talking to his father, he has been out for 12 years, and his father just ignored him, is it really so important to be the champion? He didn't think there was anything bad about the name of the same jinshi, the eldest brother was the first of the second class in his own department, and he had been in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and he was just like himself, he was a fourth-grade official. But it is a yamen with no real power, where is it like himself, let it go for three years, and live a fairy life.

"Old lady, the second wife said that the fifth girl's grandmother and son Liu are not old, and she secretly milks her own child, saying that she wants to send it out!"

The second wife is Zhao Youlin's wife, Mrs. Zhao died a few years ago, and the youngest son was hit by the list last year and took his family to the capital, and the backyard was desolate. Now the only granddaughter who stays in front of Mrs. Zhao is Mrs. Zhao's niece, his niece and daughter-in-law died in childbirth, and the nephew is studying in Guozijian, so he fostered in front of him. Therefore, the backyard is not very strict, and since the second wife is back, she will be temporarily managed.

Old lady Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly, and said suspiciously: "Liu? Isn't she childless? ”

The daughter-in-law in charge hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't know, it's just that the second wife is called Old Lady Yuming." ”

"Humph!" Old lady Zhao said angrily, "I'm not dead yet!" It's not your turn to point fingers! He immediately got angry at his son and said, "Get out, get out of here for me!" I want to be a wife to your own house! The old and decayed temple can't accommodate your big Buddha! ”

Zhao Youlin's old lady Zhao had a seizure for no reason, and she consciously had an eventful daughter-in-law, thinking that she was used to it in office. He hurriedly smiled and said, "My son will deal with this matter, Dad will be angry!" ”

Old lady Zhao was not satisfied with his words at all, and sneered: "This is not your Yangzhou prefect's mansion. Don't put your prefect's money in front of the old decay! ”

He had known about Liu Shi's breastfeeding of Wang Jiuzhi's daughter, and Wang Jiuzhi stayed in his house for this reason. It is not easy for a man to find milk to drink everywhere for his daughter who is more than a month old. Besides, the five girls can't eat that milk alone, so it's important to share some for others.

It seems that these little rabbits have forgotten their roots, and they have forgotten that they were all children of poor families back then.

"Dad, after all, the five nieces will ...... in the future" Zhao Youlin thought about it, and faced the consequences of being scolded by his father, and said stiffly, "In the future, the five nieces will live in the backyard, if they are not strictly managed, it will not be good for the reputation of the five nieces in the future." ”

"Fart! Get out of here, get out of here! Immediately take your prefect's wife, prefect's miss, and prefect's young master to get out of me! Old lady Zhao listened to his son's bullshit, and his heart became angry, he slapped the table and shouted, "You are knowledgeable enough!" Know that you have taught me a lesson! Tell me, are you the champion, or the editor of the Hanlin Academy? Not even a Shujishi, what kind of Confucian are you? You say hello to me, come! Let me ask you, what is it for a daughter-in-law to cross her father-in-law? ”

As soon as he saw his father salute him with a straight face, Zhao Youlin immediately found an excuse to go out. He knew that his father was going to talk about his name as a third-class fellow jinshi again. How did he know he was going to do that? I am also a huiyuan, thinking that even if I am not the champion in the palace examination, I am also in the top two, but I don't want to be the top 97 in the top three, so I have to sit on the red stool.

In the eyes of his father, the champion is so useful, and the three yuan and the first are the glorious lintel? Where can I find the reputation of their brothers, two generations and four jinshi? What's more, two generations and two examples are even more rare. Isn't it because the third brother won another list last year, how long will my father's anger endure?

Thinking about the third brother, it's really a bad fate. A young talent, but in order to be the champion, he has studied hard for ten years, but he doesn't want to be a role model again. Does he only have the life of the second child? He shook his head and ordered them to go back.

In fact, he understands his father's frustration. In the first year of Zhaoning, his father was originally the first name selected, but because Emperor Zhaoning saw that Peng Youqi's handwriting in Changzhou was good, his father made him a leader. Father almost became a Lianzhong Sanyuan. From then on, the father kept all his hopes on their brother's body, but unexpectedly, the younger brother Nako met Peng Youqi's son, and the younger brother was also rated as the first name, but Emperor Zhaoning read Peng Youqi's son's scroll and wanted to mention it as the first name, and the minister quoted that the younger brother's words were good. But Emperor Zhaoning also said that whoever is not good at writing cannot be the champion. In this way, the younger brother became the eye of the leader.

Zhao Youlin followed his father and smiled. Thinking about talking to his father, he has been six years old, and his father just ignores him, is it really so important to be the champion? He didn't think there was anything bad about the name of the same jinshi, the eldest brother was the first of the second class in his own department, and he had been in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and he was just like himself, he was a fourth-grade official. But it is a yamen with no real power, where is it like himself, he has been released for three years and lives a fairy life.

"Daddy......"

A servant woman came in front of her, and when she saw Zhao Youlin, she greeted her with a smile, said Wanfu, and said: "Old lady, the second wife said that the fifth girl's grandmother and son Liu are not old, and they secretly know men. Let the slave and maid ask the old lady to show it, is it sent out? ”

The second wife is Zhao Youlin's wife, Mrs. Zhao died a few years ago, and the youngest son was hit by the list last year and took his family to the capital, and the backyard was desolate. Now the only granddaughter who stays in front of Mrs. Zhao is Mrs. Zhao's niece, his niece and daughter-in-law died in childbirth, and the nephew is studying in Guozijian, so he fostered in front of him. Therefore, the backyard is not very strict, and since the second wife is back, she will be temporarily managed.

Old lady Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly, and said suspiciously: "Liu? Isn't her man dead? ”

The daughter-in-law in charge hurriedly said: "Someone saw it with their own eyes, caught it red-handed, and held a child." I heard that the man is still in our kitchen. The second lady thought that it was the person in front of the old lady, and ordered the slave and maid to go back and forth to the old lady. ”

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law came back with Zhao Youlin, thinking that at the back door of the girl's yard, the nurse secretly met the man. If something big happens, it's bad.

"Humph!" Old lady Zhao said angrily, "I'm not dead yet!" It's not your turn to point fingers! He was angry at his son and said, "Get out, get out of me right away!" I want to be a wife to your own house! The old and decayed temple can't accommodate your big Buddha! ”

Zhao Youlin's old lady Zhao had a seizure for no reason, and she consciously had an eventful daughter-in-law, thinking that she was used to it in office. He hurriedly smiled and said, "My son will deal with this matter, Dad will be angry!" ”

Old lady Zhao was not satisfied with his words at all, and sneered: "This is not your Hangzhou prefect's mansion. Don't put your prefect's money in front of the old decay! ”

"Dad, after all, the five nieces will ...... in the future" Zhao Youlin thought about it, and faced the consequences of being scolded by his father, and said stiffly, "In the future, the five nieces will live in the backyard, if they are not strictly managed, it will not be good for the reputation of the five nieces in the future." ”

"Fart! Get out of here, get out of here! Immediately take your prefect's wife, prefect's miss, and prefect's young master to get out of me! Old lady Zhao listened to his son's bullshit, and his heart became angry, and he yelled at Zhao Xihou, "You have learned enough!" Know that you have taught me a lesson! Tell me, are you the champion, or the editor of the Hanlin Academy? Not even a Shujishi, what kind of Confucian are you? You say hello to me, come! Let me ask you, what is it for a daughter-in-law to cross her father-in-law? ”

He knew in his heart that the so-called Liu family feeding his own child was actually the matter of Liu family feeding Wang Jiuzhi's daughter. Wang Jiuzhi stayed in his house for this reason. It is not easy for a man to find milk to drink everywhere for his daughter who is more than a month old. Besides, the five girls can't eat that milk alone, so it's important to share some for others.

It seems that these little rabbits have forgotten their roots, forgetting that they were all children of poor families back then, and forgetting that they grew up eating hundreds of meals.

As soon as he saw his father salute him with a straight face, Zhao Youlin immediately found an excuse to go out. He knew that his father was going to talk about his name as a third-class fellow jinshi again. How did he know he was going to do that? I am also a huiyuan, thinking that even if I am not the champion in the palace examination, I am also in the top two, but I don't want to be the top 97 in the top three, so I have to sit on the red stool.

In the eyes of his father, the champion is so useful, and the three yuan and the first are the glorious lintel? Where can I find the reputation of their brothers, two generations and four jinshi? What's more, two generations and two examples are even more rare. Isn't it because the third brother won another list last year, how long will my father's anger endure?

Thinking about the third brother, it's really a bad fate. A young talent, but in order to be the champion, he has studied hard for ten years, but he doesn't want to be a role model again. Does he only have the life of the second child? He shook his head and ordered them to go back.

In fact, he understands his father's frustration. In the first year of Zhaoning, his father was originally the first name selected, but because Emperor Zhaoning saw that Peng Youqi's handwriting in Changzhou was good, his father made him a leader. Father almost became a Lianzhong Sanyuan. From then on, the father kept all his hopes on their brother's body, but unexpectedly, the younger brother Nako met Peng Youqi's son, and the younger brother was also rated as the first name, but Emperor Zhaoning read Peng Youqi's son's scroll and wanted to mention it as the first name, and the minister quoted that the younger brother's words were good. But Emperor Zhaoning also said that whoever is not good at writing cannot be the champion. In this way, the younger brother became the eye of the leader.

In the fragrant kitchen, except for Chef Wang Jiuzhi, who was busy, the rest of the people looked at him with blank eyes. Chopping vegetables, stir-frying, and serving on the plate, the action is like a cloud playing in the water. They sniffed it vigorously, and it was really one word - it was so fragrant!

However, soon a cry destroyed the tranquility of the kitchen, and Wang Jiuzhi immediately realized that Rui Xue was crying, but the dish was not finished yet! He had to coax Rui Xue: "Obediently, Daddy will change this dish for you after frying it!" ”

The subordinate was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly wanted to help Wang Jiuzhi, but he couldn't find the rope in the middle of the ring, so he had to be in a hurry.

At this time, a big girl walked in, looked at Wang Jiuzhi's back, and immediately understood, and hugged Ruixue on Wang Jiuzhi's back in three or two clicks, and asked people to fetch a basin of hot water to the side, and took the child away.

The people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Jiuzhi's movements were faster, and when he put the dishes on the plate, he saw that the maid had already helped Rui Xue clean up. I'm hugging her and coaxing!

But she didn't want Rui Xue to think that she could breastfeed, so she immediately arched on the girl's chest. When I opened my mouth, I found that it wasn't what I was doing on a daily basis, and I cried "wow".

Several young men in the kitchen immediately laughed, and teased without any scruples: "Sister Si'er, this is not yet married, but the child was fed first!" ”

Others leaned up with a more iodine face and said, "Why don't you feed me too?" ”

The maid holding Ruixue is called Si'er, who is the rough maid of the Zhao family, who is responsible for laundry in the inner courtyard. She is the daughter of a local farmer, and the twelve brothers and sisters in the family were sold to the Zhao family as maids. She has a lot of strength, full of coolness.

She scolded angrily: "Get out! I want to eat and go back to untie your mother's clothes, and make sure you have enough to eat. As he spoke, he lowered his head and coaxed Ruixue softly.

Wang Jiu pointed to the sun, stretched out his hand to take Ruixue over, and said to Si'er, "Thank you, girl." ”

Si'er didn't give Ruixue to Wang Jiuzhi. Yesterday was so troublesome, everyone knows that Ruixue has no milk to eat, thanks to Sister-in-law Liu's kindness, who often helps.

"Master Wang, I put Ruixue's diaper here. I'll help you take Ruixue to Sister-in-law Liu! Anyway, I'll stop by too, so you can pick it up when the time comes! ”

"The second wife will be unhappy!" It was he who caused Sister-in-law Liu to be trained by the second wife, and she was almost resigned. Thanks to Mrs. Zhao's kindness, there was no such thing. He didn't dare to ask Sister-in-law Liu to breastfeed Ruixue now, so he had to boil some rice cereal for her to eat.

Si'er said indifferently: "She's not happy with her!" This is the old lady's home, the old lady didn't say anything, she was not happy! When she becomes the master of this house, it will not be too late to listen. Otherwise, I'll just help you carry it every day! ”

This straight-talking girl. Wang Jiuzhi still wanted to push.

Chun Nian knew Si'er's coolness, so he had the courage to go up and said with a smile: "Sister Si'er, you can take me with you!" ”

"Phew!" Si'er spat directly on his face and scolded in his mouth, "If you are reincarnated as a woman in the next life, I will take you again." Remember to call grandma! ”

As he was talking, a somewhat well-dressed maid came over, looked at the men and women laughing in one place, raised her eyebrows, and reprimanded: "What kind of rule is this?" The Zhao family is also a scholarly family, how can you be so unruly, so don't be ashamed! ”

They hadn't seen this maid before, thinking that she was coming back with the second wife, so they couldn't say anything. Si'er saw it, and hurriedly hugged Ruixue to find the Liu family.

Wang Jiuzhi was accustomed to seeing this kind of fox and fake tiger might, and with the appearance of the master's decent subordinate, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "This girl is eye-catching, may I ask what ......is it?"

The maid looked at him and knew how to speak, and said with a slight forehead: "You are still smart." My name is Caiyun, and I am the maid in front of the second wife. The second wife said that she should add a few good dishes today, and the eggplant stuffed with salt and pepper yesterday was good, and she wanted one today. ”

Wang Jiuzhi nodded and wrote it down, and then asked, "Can the second wife say anything else?" Does the second wife have a habit of fasting? "The day after tomorrow will be fifteen, so it's good to find out the other party's nature first.

Caiyun clapped his hands and said, "You are really different from their group of mud legs. It's just eyesight. My wife fasts. However, our young master's dishes must be done well, and the young master is ruthless. ”

"What does the young master not eat?"

"That's not it, but I like it, and a cook from us cooks it." After Caiyun finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Wang Jiuzhi, "Are you a chef?" My wife said she wanted to see you! ”

"The second wife wants to see me?"

"Yes! Cook quickly, come with me to see my wife. ”

Wang Jiuzhi's movements were very fast, according to the rules of the old house, it was just four dishes and one soup, and since the second wife said that she wanted to add vegetables, he made two more things.

Carrying the food box and following the maid, Wang Jiuzhi didn't dare to look up. It's a rule, and he's gotten used to it.

The meal was set up and delivered to the second wife's house, while he sat outside drinking tea and waiting. I heard the voice of a woman inside, and she kept persuading, "My son, I have never seen you eat so sweetly." If you like it, just ask him to do it at night, don't hold you up! ”

It seems that children like to eat sweet and flavorful things. This is in the palace...... When he thought of the palace, Wang Jiuzhi was a little gloomy, and he didn't know that his grandfather and mother were ...... He didn't dare to think about it.

"You're the cook?" Tong Yin remembered, Wang Jiuzhi suddenly raised his head and looked at a six- or seven-year-old boy staring at him with his hands behind his back.

He nodded.

"The food you cook is better than that of Lai Niang! I'm going to have that vinaigrette fillet in the evening. By the way, how did you get that fillet? There are no thorns! ”

Wang Jiuzhi smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "It's just a craft, just be patient." In the evening, I will make assorted fire for the young master, cloud bean rolls, and a sea vegetable porridge? At night, I still eat something soft, and I won't accumulate food. ”

The kid nodded and said happily, "Yesterday's double mushroom vegetable bun is delicious, and that fruit porridge is also delicious." The boy wanted to pull him to speak again, but a big girl came out and said:

"Master Wang, Mrs. invites you in."

Wang Jiuzhi smiled apologetically at the child and hurriedly bowed in.

He greeted the second wife through the curtain. The second wife also gave him a seat.

"I heard you're alone with a child?" The second wife's voice was soft, but there was a sense of superiority and a hint of indifference when she listened to it.

"Yes!"

"You also know that this country has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. There are no rules. Your daughter has no milk to eat, and it is not difficult to ask the Liu family to give her some. But what others don't know, it's not good to ruin Liu's sister-in-law's reputation. ”

Wang Jiuzhi knew that she was still relieved of what happened yesterday. It was she who drove herself out, and now she says that it is the name of Sister-in-law Liu. He is really used to seeing people talking about people and talking nonsense. However, the second wife's Taoism is much more shallow.

He hurriedly said: "Yes, the little one is going to give the child to quit breastfeeding." ”

"How can you treat children badly. Besides, this is what the old lady also agrees with, I'm just talking a little more! By the way, where did you learn the craft of cooking?

That's what she was trying to say. It seems that all the people in this world with some status, when they talk about things, like to beat around the bush and like to treat others as fools.

"I used to beat the master in the restaurant."

The second wife sighed, and said after a moment: "You also know that the second master is going to Hangzhou to take office." ushered in a lot of send-offs, the second master saw that you had good craftsmanship and wanted to take you along, what do you think? ”

"The little one is just a domestic helper, and he hasn't sold himself. After a year, the little one took his daughter away. ”

"Let's go, it's not like we want to earn money to feed her! If you go to office with the second master, I don't want you to sign any deed of sale, just like in the old house. I'll give you five taels of silver a month. ”

"Mrs. ......"

The second wife thought that he was confident that his craftsmanship was good, so she sat on the ground and asked for the price, and said with a smile: "Five taels of silver a month, you are too little?" The official of the fourth grade of the old man is only twelve taels of silver a month. Sure enough, it came out of a big place, in this way, I will invite a mother and son for your daughter, and I will also wrap the clothes for the four seasons, how about it? ”

The second wife didn't want Wang Jiuzhi to be a chef in the mansion. When she learned that the prime minister had moved to the prefect of Hangzhou, the little abacus in her heart had already been dialed. Hangzhou is a good place, there are a lot of people sent there, if you open a restaurant there, not to mention anything else, the expenses on weekdays are also relaxed. Yesterday, she ate Wang Jiuzhi again, and the craftsmanship is ruthless, I am afraid that she can make some silver. The promise was magnified in my heart. She knew it was more than enough.

Wang Jiuzhi stood up and said apologetically: "Second wife, the little one is very good in the old lady." Hangzhou is a big place, and the small craft is not on the table. With that, he excused himself and said that there was something else going on in the kitchen, and he took his leave.

The second wife didn't expect Wang Jiuzhi to be so uninteresting, and he was too little for five taels of silver a month? When do you have to find a nurse for your next child? That is, she can look at his craftsmanship, so she has such a big mouth, this person is really proud of his ruthlessness.

The maid held a cup of tea in both hands and said with a smile: "Madam, why don't you call the master to talk about it." After all, the old lady is the old lady's own son, what does the old lady not give? Not to mention a cook, it's such a big living baby, and the old lady is also willing! ”

She is a maid bought by the second wife in the field, and she doesn't know about her hometown at all, thinking that the second master is a fourth-grade official, and the other two masters are not as good as their masters, so she said so.

The second wife knows best in her heart that the status of the second master Zhao Youlin in the old lady's heart. That's the opposite of official position. Even in the future, Zhao Youlin became the first assistant of the cabinet, and he was named Marquis, and the old lady looked down on Zhao Youlin, who was born in the same jinshi.

Tell Zhao Youlin, that's even more boring. Zhao Youlin ushered in the official face, and he couldn't find the slightest fault, but a pair of old lady Zhao, he couldn't beat him with 10,000 hearts.

But she couldn't say this to the girl, she took a sip of tea and said, "Where is this master's business." Is this Lao Junmei? ”

"Yes. However, according to the slave's shallow knowledge, even if the man set up a platform for him, he couldn't get on the stage. Just now, the slave maid ordered some silver......"

The second wife motioned to Xiu Mei not to say any more: "People who don't know how to lift!" Don't talk about him anymore. You go pack up and leave in a few days. I don't want to stay in this place for a day! ”
