Chapter 509: No Food
At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Shao did not appear. She was not feeling well, and it was not suitable for her to come to the New Year's dinner.
In previous years, Mrs. Shao was in charge, but this year, it was only managed by a junior like Zhu Jiu, and the mothers and wives of the owners were unhappy.
Especially looking at you at the dinner table, such a simple and simple dish, the ladies of each room stretched out their faces, and they didn't even move a chopstick.
On the other side, the old men and young masters were not unhappy with this matter.
After all, the woman's view is different from that of the men in this sect, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner does not say how happy it is.
With the decline of the Shao family in the past two years, the Shao family has a haze in their hearts, and they have no time to pay attention to such trivial matters.
At the end of the women's family, the main mothers and wives did not move the chopsticks, and the young ladies below, the girls from the concubines, and even the aunts and concubines did not dare to take the lead in picking up the chopsticks.
Zhu Jiu sat in the banquet and saw the music in each room, raised his hand to take the silver chopsticks handed by Aunt Jin, and ate without a match.
Counting the tables up and down, the atmosphere was silent.
I only heard the crisp collision of Zhu Jiu's occasional silver chopsticks and dishes.
"In the end, my background is not very good, and now I am becoming more and more petty. The Shao family has never fallen to such a point, and this kind of cuisine is not as good as ordinary people. "Second into the dean's room, Mrs. Shao Heinz spoke first, and glanced at the dish, and the food was exquisite in the first few years.
Although the second dean's room was imprisoned, Shao Hein's was a little more difficult on weekdays, and he was still the wife of the Shao family.
is opening his mouth to provoke thorns now, which is nothing more than saying it for others.
Hearing her words, Shao Wu, who was holding his breath, swept away the silver chopsticks handed by the maid in front of him.
The maid didn't hold it, and accidentally dropped the chopsticks on the ground, making a loud sound.
"Cheap bones, I can't hold a chopstick!" Shao Wu was angry in his heart, and the maid who was waiting for him was still pointed over by the compound.
It's going to happen, and it's not the people around you who fight.
Shao Wu's slapped on the spot, and the maid was also beaten so that her little face was marked with a red slap, and she didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly squatted down to clean up.
Seeing this, Shao Chang, who was sitting next to him, rarely didn't say a word for Zhu Jiu.
She wasn't very dissatisfied with this dish, but since Mrs. Shao fell ill, she had been in charge of the family.
The second room of the long courtyard is not so free to speak, not to mention that Shao Mo has already gone, and Mrs. Shao is sick again.
Zhu Jiu didn't have much honor after the day, in Shao Chang's opinion, instead of holding on to the master like this, it was better for her to let go.
In this way, you don't want to provoke yourself.
Zhu Jiu will eat almost this time, seeing that the courtyards have not moved chopsticks, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Instead, he took Aunt Jin and handed over the tea cup to rinse it, then raised his eyes and looked at the people present, and explained to the aunts in charge, "I want to come to the Chinese New Year's Eve today, and if each room eats too much snacks early, I don't have the slightest appetite, and the aunts let people remove all the dishes!" ”
"Yes."
Now the aunts and maids in charge of the compound in the house also obey the head of the family.
The people who do things in the compound are in charge of the chores in the house, and they are also called by the head of the house on weekdays.
Listening to Zhu Jiu's words, the aunts asked the maids to withdraw one after another.
Zhu Jiu explained this, and he didn't look at the faces of others in his eyes, Shao Wushi suddenly stood up, and said with an embarrassed face, "Shao Zhushi, if you are in charge of the family, you are a good family, but you are a little family, and the Shao family will also decline in the future." ”
"Not to mention the reduction of the expenses of the mansion now, the favors that should be used in the outside are not on the table. Do you know how the Shao family is laughed at outside? The Shao family that everyone said in their mouths has declined, and it is not as good as before. ”
"What my aunt said is that I am young and careless, so it is inevitable that I will not think about it enough....."
Zhu Jiu stood up as he spoke, and looked at Shao Wu's family, "These days, the affairs of the family are complicated, and it is difficult for me to handle it alone. In addition, the body bones were also poor before, so after thinking about it left and right, I took this opportunity today to invite Aunt Changsanfang to help me with one or two. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Shao Wu looked at Zhu Jiu with some doubts, and Shao Chang, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Shao Wu and lowered the trace of disdain in his eyes.
Zhu Jiu stood in front of Shao Wu's and saluted slightly, "Auntie's third room is in business, and there are few shops in my long room, so I can't talk about business, and naturally it is very rare to get into the silver day by day." ”
"Look at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today, each room has been eaten in its own door first, it must be much better than what I arranged." It's no wonder that I don't understand these thoughts, the third aunt is an elder in the door, and she has been in the door for many years, so she understands it very well. "Zhu Jiu's dishes arranged today are not deliberate.
It's just that they also know that each room must be dissatisfied, and they are dissatisfied that she wishes nine years of age.
In addition, Mrs. Shao is sick and has not come out to sit in the town, and it is inevitable that each room will be in trouble.
simply, only Shao Wu was the most dissatisfied with the fact that she was wrong to reduce her expenses.
She thought that the silver in the third room was not reduced, but the expenses in the door were much less.
The silver was left behind, and it fell into the door of her long room.
That being the case, Zhu Jiu decided not to be so idle.
In front of everyone, I wished Jiu a big gift and asked the Shao Wu family to help take care of the affairs of the Shao family.
Shao Wu's didn't think that Zhu Jiu would suddenly open his mouth like this, and no one in the room would have any objections to Shao Wu's help.
She naturally has a lot of money in business, and the big guy is dissatisfied with the decrease in the door, and he is just looking at Shao Wu's face.
One by one, they followed the limelight and stood on the side of Shao Wu.
At present, Shao Wu saw that Zhu Jiu was soft, and took the initiative to ask her to help, although he felt surprised, he was a little proud in his heart.
"Shao Zhushi is young, and he can take the initiative to ask his younger siblings to help, and his younger siblings will support him well." Shao Changshi, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth, and Shao Heinz on the other side immediately said, "In the end, it is a junior, it is good to have self-knowledge." With the help of younger siblings, we can settle the hearts of each of our rooms. ”
Shao Wu's insistence on reducing expenses is nothing more than to let the money in his own door be less.
This person suddenly wants to help the master again, and she feels that Zhu Jiufu is soft.
Each room was happy, and I couldn't wait to drink a few mouthfuls of blood from the third room of the long courtyard.
There are openings in each room, and the Shao Wu family feels that they have a face in the Shao family for the first time, and there is no need to say that there is such a taste in their hearts.
Zhu Jiu looked at Shao Wu's expression, took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, "Aunt Lao, I'm not feeling well at this time, so I'll go back to the yard first." ”
After saying this, Zhu Jiuchao saluted the ladies present in the room, and then left the lobby.
The young ladies sitting on the other side, Shao Rongshi saw this and hurriedly got up and followed.
Zhu Jiu looked at Shao Rong's and glanced at her, "How did you come out." ”
"Only my sister-in-law is in the long room, and when my sister-in-law leaves the hall, it's good for me to come out with me." Shao Rong's family didn't have long after he entered the Shao family, and he was not very honest about some of the famous halls in the Shao family.
It's just that as soon as the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner came out today, it can be regarded as clear.
