Chapter 41: Preparation
Ah, it's the weekend, I don't know if everyone got up when I posted the article, hahaha, okay, keep begging for everything. Hmm, do you need to roll around and sell cuteness?
******************
No matter how annoyed they are, the Dragon Boat Festival still has to be celebrated, not to mention that Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao don't know the helplessness and boredom in Fu Qiuning's heart. Therefore, on the second day, several people cheered up, still soaked the glutinous rice, adjusted various fillings, and wrapped the zongzi in the cheers and shouts of the two brothers and sisters.
Seeing that Fu Qiuning didn't have a sad expression on her face, Yu Niang dared to say cautiously: "Grandma, the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, this is the first time we see the old lady, we have to prepare some gifts, but I don't know what grandma's plans are?" Before the words fell, she was touched by the rain steps, as if she was blaming her for causing trouble to Fu Qiuning at this time, she sighed, and said in her heart that there are still three days before the Dragon Boat Festival, if it weren't for the burning eyebrows, would I be so uninteresting?
But I heard Fu Qiuning sneer and said, "What can I bring?" Now spend the silver at the bottom of my box to buy gifts, do you think the old lady will be eye-catching? The only thing she lacks in her life is wealth. Since you called me to go, it is not a gift for me, but it is better to bring a few zongzi with various fillings and talk about filial piety. ”
As soon as she said this, Yujie's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "That's right, before I met my grandmother, the slave only knew that zongzi had jujube stuffing and meat filling, and I had never heard of egg yolk, bean paste, and jujube paste. ”
Yu Niang also smiled and nodded yes, then looked at Fu Qiuning and pursed her lips and smiled: "I saw my grandmother so angry yesterday, I was only worried that you would be sick at that time, but didn't you offend the little marquis and the old lady to death all of a sudden?" Now when I heard my grandmother say this, the slave and maid put their hearts at ease, thinking that it was still my grandmother's broad-mindedness, and if this matter was spread on me, I would be sad to death. ”
Fu Qiuning sighed, and snorted coldly: "I'm not willing to fight, so what?" When you can't dodge, you can only go head-on. If those wives and concubines know the opportunity, it is best for everyone to not interfere with the river water. If you have any unscrupulous thoughts in your heart, then don't blame me for being-for-tat. In this kind of big family, how can there be any step back and open the sky? If you take one step back, others will be able to deceive ten steps forward. What kind of face can I have as a wife who has been idle and neglected? It's them, if you're not afraid of making a fuss, just come. As he spoke, he put a wrapped zongzi into the water, obviously expecting that it would be impossible to spend the day of the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet peacefully.
Yujie and Yuniang were silent, and after a long while, Yujie cheered up and smiled: "Until that day, who knows what will happen?" Grandma doesn't have to think about it, let's hurry up and wrap the zongzi, and steam them after noon. It's just that the slave maid thinks that the zongzi brought to the old lady must be wrapped the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, so it is fresh, what does grandma think? ”
Fu Qiuning nodded and said, "Just do as you say." ”
It was already the beginning of Shen Shi after boiling zongzi and eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, because Fu Qiuning was strict in discipline, so even if the brothers and sisters of Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao were greedy, they did not dare to touch the zongzi and boiled eggs at this time. It wasn't until the evening that Yujie and Yuniang moved the table outside, and the family ate happily.
"Slow down, don't choke. Feng'er eat less, don't eat because you like to eat. Fu Qiuning was eating, and at the same time he was looking at the two children. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were eating glutinous rice grains, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, and at the same time, a sense of happiness arose in her heart.
Yu Niang said with a smile on the side: "Grandma, don't ban them today, they are too strict, and they are frugal on weekdays, isn't it just to be able to eat two meals during these festivals?" After speaking, he peeled another zongzi for Jin Zangfeng, but listened to Fu Qiuning say: "Okay, this zongzi is half for each of their brothers and sisters, and they are not allowed to eat it again after eating. I don't know who wiped his eyes and tears, cried and grabbed the ground. ”
In a word, Yu Niang and Yu Jiejie both laughed, but when they thought of the time when Jin Zangjiao ate her stomach the year before last, she felt palpitations, so she hurriedly coaxed them to eat a zongzi and went out to play. Here Yujie whispered to Yu Niang: "No matter how shrewd the little marquis is, but he is not serious, if he comes to eat today, let him taste our grandmother's craftsmanship, but he will not come today." ”
Yu Niang glanced at her, and hurriedly looked at Fu Qiuning who was eating on the kang, and shook her head slightly. Thinking that you are bold, grandma doesn't know how to annoy the little marquis, you dare to eat zongzi for him here but unfortunately can't eat zongzi, you can be content with zongzi now.
After dinner, Fu Qiuning opened the cabinet, flipped through the clothes of Jin Zangfeng's brothers and sisters, and then took out last year's set of thin satin summer clothes and said: "I remember that this set of clothes was made at the end of last summer, and I only wore it once.
Yu Niang and Yu Jie: "This set is good, it is most suitable with the dragon and phoenix jade pendant given by the little marquis, the brother and sister are good-looking, and the bright clothes are eye-catching." "It's been decided for a moment.
Soon it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the two children didn't know until the day before that they were going to go to the family banquet with their mothers, and they couldn't help but be very happy, but they heard Fu Qiuning say with a straight face: "When you get to the family banquet, you are not allowed to leave me, you are not allowed to quarrel with others, cause trouble, please give the old lady and Mrs. Jun according to the rules, and don't be too intimidating. You are your father's eldest son and eldest daughter, although you have not yet entered the family tree, but everyone knows that if you do something out of the ordinary, your father's face will not be bright, do you understand? ”
The two children agreed in unison, and there was a hint of timidity on their faces, and Yu Niang hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't be too strict, my brother and sister have always been sensible, what can I do out of the ordinary?" Scared them, grandma came over to take a look at the zongzi gift box I wrapped to see if there was anything wrong? Because Fu Qiuning was pulled away, the remaining two brothers and sisters, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao, were a little excited, sat on the steps and said: "When we didn't come to my mother's courtyard that day, even the children of those servants dared to bully, and now that we have gone to the family banquet, my father has never officially recognized us, those young masters and young misses, where will they treat us as brothers and sisters?" I'm afraid that I will be bullied even harder, what should I do then? My mother said that if you can't bear it, you can't bear it anymore. But on the occasion of so many people, if it is too big, wouldn't it also violate the will of the mother? ”
Because the noses of the two children were wrinkled, suddenly Jin Zangjiao's eyes lit up, grabbed his brother's arm and said: "Brother, just now Yu Niang said that let my mother go to see the zongzi gift box she packed." We are poor, we must not be like those people, there are those expensive gifts to send, a few boxes of zongzi, but it is just a fresh. It's the first time we've seen our grandmother, so let's get some gifts, and we can help my mother; Second, if you can please your grandmother, you don't dare to bully you and me if you think those young masters and young ladies don't dare to bully you, okay? ”
