In the scorching summer, Rao is the master of Yanwang's mansion, and he is not in the mood to have fun, so he only nests in the house to escape the heat.

"It's hot." Cheng Yuanniang said to herself.

She has always been afraid of heat, although there is ice in the house, but the ice is also damp in the house after a long time, and it is difficult to open the window.

In previous years, the Plains Marquis would always go out to escape the heat in the middle of summer, but this year......

Princess Cheng has always been afraid of cold and heat, and has never avoided the heat.

She mentioned the matter of summer vacation to Princess Cheng, but was rejected. The reason is, be honest, don't always want to cause trouble.

"It's almost lunch, the princess wants to eat something, I'll go to the kitchen to pass the word." The girl Baozhu stepped forward and asked.

Cheng Yuanniang was reluctant to say: "Where do you have an appetite, prepare some melons and fruits, just eat some casually." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid will command someone to bring it." Baozhu said.

She is a wedding girl, and she has grown up with Cheng Yuanniang since she was a child. Originally, life was very good, but after leaving the cabinet, Cheng Yuanniang was angry and her temper grew, and these girls couldn't help but act carefully.

"Prepare a few more and make them fresh." Cheng Yuanniang said, and added: "You can pick it yourself, so as not to fool people again." ”

Although Zhou Xijia has repeatedly assured that the subordinates will never dare to slack off. She always felt that the people in Yanwang's Mansion were watching her jokes.

Soon after getting married, she fell out of favor, so she had to hold the girl's concubine in front of her. The housemother thinks that there are few more than her.

"Yes, the slave will pick it herself." Baozhu had to speak.

Going out from the back door of the main house, although the sun was poisoning outside, Cheng Yuanniang ordered, and Baozhu had to go to the kitchen in person.

The kitchen of the Shizi Mansion is in the upper right corner of the backyard, with three large rooms and more than a dozen mothers-in-law and attendants, exclusively for the food of the Shizi Mansion.

It's almost lunchtime, and the kitchen is busy, and it's even more hot.

When Baozhu walked to the door, he was smoked by the heat, and hurriedly covered his nose.

When the housekeeper in the kitchen saw Baozhu, she hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "On such a hot day, why is Baozhu girl here?" If there is anything, send someone to give you an order. ”

"The princess wants to eat some melons and fruits, and she wants them fresh." Baozhu commanded, complaining with disgust in his words.

"Yes, yes......" The kitchen manager replied repeatedly, "The fruits and vegetables have just arrived, and they must be fresh." ”

Baozhu said: "It's all here, you can take me over and pick it yourself." ”

"Yes, yes." The kitchen steward said, "Girl, please come with me." ”

Baozhu followed the housekeeper to the back door of the kitchen, and the ingredients used in the Yan Wangfu were all purchased by the comprador and sent to the palace.

The purchased ingredients were first sent to Jiale Hall, then to the Shizi Mansion, and finally to the front kitchen.

The delivery truck had just arrived, and several mothers-in-law were unloading the truck.

"Have you heard, the prince always walks on the HSBC ship. The big boss of this HSBC shipping company, but he has a beautiful sister, who is known as the first beauty in Qingyang. The mother-in-law who unloaded the goods said while she was busy.

Baozhu heard the thought, and the kitchen steward just wanted to stop it, but she stopped him.

Han Xiao has always been reluctant to enter the backyard, whether it is Nuan Xiangwu or Shizifu, he has not entered.

The reason is that he is busy with official business, but how can a normal man not have needs. This son-in-law, if you don't get close to the women in the family, then there will be someone outside.

Could it be that Han Xiao really has a good relationship outside?

"Of course I know, the daughter of the Shen family, that's really beautiful. The proprietor of the Wu family's boat line, as well as the big boss of the Xiao family, are about to fight. Another mother-in-law continued, "The Wu family went to propose, but they were rejected." ”

"Didn't you say that Miss Shen was going back to Kaiyang? I think I've already gone back. ”

"It's a drama for people to see, I've heard of it, it seems to be with the prince. The prince liked her tightness and placed her properly, but after another year and a half, his son was embraced. ”

"Then it's no wonder, the Shen family even pushed down the marriage of the Wu family. If you can enter the palace as a concubine, what is the Wu family. ”

"But no, even if you can't be in the main room, it's nothing to be a side concubine. Thinking about it, the princess of the county is not also righted by the side concubine, and her son is in her hand, and she can do whatever she wants. ”

The two of them said so casually, and Baozhu was shocked to hear it.

The kitchen steward was also half frightened to death when he heard this, and stepped forward and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, don't you want your tongue?" ”

The two mothers-in-law who unloaded the goods were startled and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

The kitchen steward wanted to scold again, but Baozhu stepped forward and asked, "Where did you hear these words?" ”

The two mothers-in-law knelt on the ground and trembled and said, "The old slave is talking nonsense, don't listen to the girl." ”

"Hurry up and be honest." "As long as you're honest, I'll not pursue it." Otherwise, the rules of this Yanwang Mansion, hum~~"

"Old slave, old slave ......" The mother-in-law looked scared and said in a trembling voice: "The old slave has an in-law who works as a steward in the HSBC shipping company. The last time we met at my in-laws' house, I listened to what he said. It's all nonsense, girl, don't take it to heart. ”

Baozhu looked at her mother-in-law, but she believed it in her heart. The news between the subordinates is sometimes more well-informed than the master.

And Miss Shen of HSBC Shipping, isn't that Shen Xiu.

Just because of the beginning and end with Han Xiao, Shen Xiu had to leave the Yanwang Mansion. I didn't expect that after leaving, I was secretly kept outside.

If you really let Shen Xiu give birth to a son......

"Girl, these mothers-in-law are talking nonsense, you must not talk nonsense to them." The kitchen steward said.

Baozhu turned a deaf ear and said to the two mothers-in-law kneeling on the ground: "I can ignore it, but if you talk nonsense again, you have to be careful with your tongue." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare." The two mothers-in-law said in a trembling voice.

After the jewel was finished, where would he care about the melons and fruits, and turned around and left.

"Girl, girl......" The kitchen steward chased after Baozhu, "these old women are always talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Although it is said that people are together, it is inevitable to gossip. But if the master investigates such a major matter and learns that it is from the kitchen, she, the steward, will be in trouble.

"Hurry up and prepare the melons and fruits, the princess is waiting." Baozhu said a word of advice, and walked back to the main room quickly.

Cheng Yuanniang was still sitting in the house, Zhou Xi's family was waiting outside, and the little girls were vigorously fanning the ice, although it was a little cold, they still felt hot.

"The princess, the princess ......" Baozhu walked back to the room quickly.

Cheng Yuanniang frowned and said, "The ghost is crying wolf, what's wrong?" ”

Baozhu said to the little girl in the house, "You go out first." ”

The little girls listened to the order to retreat, Cheng Yuanniang looked at the jewel suspiciously, and Zhou Xi's family also walked into the room.

"What's going on?" Cheng Yuanniang asked.

Baozhu immediately relayed what he had just heard to Cheng Yuanniang, and said anxiously: "Princess, you have to make up your mind early." ”

Cheng Yuanniang was dumbfounded when she heard this, and even Zhou Xi's family was shocked.

"Did you hear me wrong?" Zhou Xijia couldn't help but say.

How is this possible, Han Xiao secretly raised Shen Xiu outside?

Let's not talk about Han Xiao's style of acting, will it be so concealed. Shen Xiu is Han Rong's woman, what is this, the woman who robbed her nephew by her uncle?

Don't you want this face, this ethics?

"I heard it really, and I must be right." Baozhu said, only to swear to the sky.

After Cheng Yuanniang was shocked, she was furious and scolded: "Slut, it's really a slut!" ”

No wonder Han Xiao didn't step on the backyard, it turned out that he kept people outside.

Shen Xiu, why didn't you strangle her at that time.

"Don't be angry first, princess." Zhou Xijia persuaded him, but the shock in his heart was a lot.

At the same time, I feel confused, what the hell is going on?

"Mom, what do you say you are going to do?" Cheng Yuanniang turned around and asked Zhou Xi's family, "Mom has always had the most ideas, no matter what, I can't let that little slut enter the house." ”

I regret it infinitely in my heart, if she hadn't joined forces with Xu Mei at the beginning, maybe there would have been no such troubles.

"Let the old slave think about it, think about it, think about ......it," Zhou Xijia said, the news was so shocking that she didn't have an idea for a while.

Cheng Yuanniang said anxiously: "Mom, you must come up with an idea to get rid of that slut completely." ”

"Don't worry, princess." Zhou Xijia said, "I think this matter should be verified first." But with the words of the two mothers-in-law, it is hard to believe. ”

No matter how you think about it, it's all strange.

But where the blame is, she can't figure it out for a while.

Her intuition told her that this was not true, but the mother-in-law was talking nonsense, why would she talk nonsense?

There is so much gossip about the master, there is too much to say, but it shouldn't be said about the prince.

"How do you find out?" Cheng Yuanniang asked.

Zhou Xijia said: "This matter is not the matter of the princess alone, and the princess of the county cannot stay out of the matter." The old slave went to Nuanxiangwu to explore the princess of the county. ”

Although the Wu family and Cheng Yuanniang fought fiercely, Shen Xiu was an external enemy.

I believe that Wu can understand the truth of uniting with the outside world.

Moreover, there are many doubts in this matter, but Cheng Yuanniang is tossing alone, if there is a mistake, then bear it all. Pull the Wu family into the water together, and then multiple people will share it.

It's no good anyway, and Dora alone is definitely right.

"She's a merchant girl, what can she do." Cheng Yuanniang sneered and said, "She just knows, do you dare to care?" I'm afraid it's too late to shoot Shen Xiu's sycophants. ”

Zhou Xijia did not refute, and said: "The old slave will go back as soon as he goes, and the princess must calm down and don't make a noise first." ”

"I don't want to hold my breath now, what can I do." Cheng Yuanniang said a little self-deprecatingly.

This was very difficult to answer, so Zhou Xijia simply didn't answer it, and said, "The old slave went." ”

At the same time, at the corner gate behind King Yan's mansion, the two mothers-in-law who unloaded vegetables finished their errands and walked into the corner gate, and said with a smile: "What you ordered has been done." ”

They are low-level subordinates, not to mention the master, even the subordinates around Cheng Yuanniang, they can't see them.

They had waited for almost a month for a few words, and now they had finally arrived.

"That's good." As he spoke, the man in the corner gate handed them a bag of silver.
