Thirty-nine, kitchen turmoil
Chunying was nonsense, but she really found the kitchen and passed the word.
The mother-in-law in charge looked at the half-used dress on her body quietly, recognized the clothes of the old girl Mei Xiang, smiled, and said, "Is it really the third young master's order?" Or is it Mei Xiangfa's words? If you little girls make your own decisions, I don't dare to listen. If it's cold today, send it over early, if the third young master doesn't eat it, it's cold in vain, and in the end it will be blamed on us, who do we talk to? After saying that, he smiled and played cards with the other three mothers-in-law.
Chunying frowned, glanced inside the kitchen, and saw that there were only a few younger mothers-in-law washing vegetables and cutting meat, and there were already several pots burning on the stove. She thought to herself that it was almost evening, and the stove was also busy, why was this woman still so slow? Actually have time to play? She remembered the glance that the other party had just glanced at her, and the words that her sister Qiuyu had told immediately came to mind. So she sneered, "Isn't it already cooked?" What's the point of being early? Anyway, I passed the word to the kitchen, and my aunt weighed it by herself, and it was not one or two in our courtyard who knew that I was coming to pass the word, if the meal was delivered late, and the third young master was hungry, it would be found out that it was the aunt's mistake in the future, I dare not blame you. ”
The mother-in-law was unmoved: "The little girl doesn't talk big, everyone cooks, you have to be the elders first, although the third young master is noble, you can't go past the old lady, the Hou Ye and the wife, right?" There are only a few stoves in the kitchen, where can they burn? Let's wait. ”
Chunying was stunned, she didn't know what to say, although she was depressed, she still turned around and was about to reply, but she heard a mother-in-law next to her whisper to another companion: "These little girls take themselves too seriously." Who doesn't know what they're doing in their hospital? really sent the meal early, the third young master is happy, the credit is theirs, and the slightest benefit will not fall on us, but if the third young master is annoyed, the fault is ours. When are we fools not to be successful? ”
Another mother-in-law also pouted, "Isn't it?" Last time, I didn't know which girl was going to be courteous, so I urged us to send the meal early, but the third young master didn't know what he was busy with, so he dragged it until the food was cold. What a wrongful death! I don't know what tricks I'm going to play now! A bunch of people hurt people, who cares about them?! ”
Chun Ying was angry, thinking that other girls had offended these mothers-in-law, why did she blame her? These mothers-in-law feel wronged, can they still wronged her?
She lifted her feet and wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, Chen'er had already turned back first, and now she was the one who came to pass the word, if these mothers-in-law really didn't listen, when the boss blamed her, they said that they didn't see her coming, and it wasn't her who suffered? I knew I should have stayed where I was and waited for Chen'er! It's too late to regret it now, so I can only persuade these mothers-in-law to at least delay it until Chen'er comes, so as to prove that she has passed the word.
Thinking of this, she turned back, took a deep breath, and was about to speak, but heard a rush of footsteps behind her, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl ran over, threw a clay cup in her hand in front of those mothers-in-law, and scolded: "Tell you to stew ginseng soup, look at what are these?!" Are you a country kid who has never seen the world?! Where did you get the good ginseng that our grandmother sent?! ”
The mother-in-law in charge saw a little soup on her clothes, frowned, took out a silk handkerchief, and said slowly and methodically: "Be careful! This is a precious thing, the soup stewed from the old mountain ginseng, this cup is worth dozens of taels of silver, those two whiskers are just a meaning, is it possible to really take the whole ginseng to show people? It's not a nouveau riche, we don't have this rule in our house. ”
The girl sneered: "Are you still reasonable?" This cup is only a little more flavorful than clear soup, and it really uses the whole ginseng? Who are you fooling?! You haven't seen ginseng soup before? You haven't drunk ginseng soup with our grandmother?! Fart! That's our grandmother's dowry, it's not something you can deduct, give it back to me! ”
The woman-in-law immediately stretched her face: "Ridiculous! It's all stewed into soup, how can I pay you back? You're going to go wild, and you don't want to see what kind of place this is?! If you have the ability, let's go to Mr. Wang to reason! ”
The girl laughed angrily: "Good, good! I have opened my eyes today, there are such shameless people in the world! Let me tell you, don't think that our young grandmother can't help you, no matter what, she is also a serious daughter-in-law in this mansion, and she was carried into the gate of the Qingguo Marquis Mansion by three media and six hires! If such a thing as a slave bully spreads, I want to see if the old lady and the Hou Ye can spare you! ”
The woman's face was a little unbearable: "The little girl's mouth is not at stake, but I advise you to stop, everyone has their own rules, although I don't know how the young grandmother is at home, when she arrives in our house, she has to be safe." We are all old people for several lifetimes, how long has it been since the young grandmother entered the door? If you want to dominate us, I advise the young grandmother to die of this heart! The other mothers-in-law were sneering, and one of them covered his mouth and smiled at the girl: "I said, you girl is originally from the house, why did her arm turn out?" Could it be that someone has given you some benefit? Maybe I want to praise you as my aunt! ”
The girl was trembling with anger, Chun Ying also frowned when she heard it on the side, thinking of the kind "eldest young master" she had just met, she suddenly felt sympathy in her heart, and she was even more disgusted with those mothers-in-law.
A little girl came running outside the door, and when she saw this, she hurriedly pulled the previous girl and said, "Sister Xiangyu, grandma said that this matter is over, don't quarrel with others." Xiangyu was so anxious that she jumped to her feet: "How can you forget it?!" This time I gave in, and in the future, this villain should have to make inches! "Sister!" The little girl was so anxious that her eyes turned red, "Please, our grandmother doesn't want to cause trouble...... Xiangyu bit her lip and stood there refusing to take a step.
A woman came out of the kitchen and shouted, "The meal is ready!" A few people came out carrying a large bucket of fragrant white rice, followed by a dozen or so dishes of chicken, duck and fish, all of which were sent to the table in the empty room next to them. The mother-in-law in charge waited for a few to see it, and immediately left Xiangyu and the others with a smile, and walked straight into the house, where two mothers-in-law were still whispering "I smell the fragrance of stewed duck."
Chunying rushed to the kitchen and looked inside, the stove was already empty, where was there any cooking food? She angrily grabbed the mother-in-law in charge and said, "Didn't you just say that you have to cook the old lady, the Hou Ye and the wife first, and then it will be our third young master's turn?" And what are you eating now?! ”
The woman shook her off and sneered: "You don't need to work together, you can say cool things?!" If we don't eat, where will we have the strength to work? Get out of here! ”
Chunying was stunned for a moment, this made sense, but she was still a little unconvinced: "Then you can't all leave your work and eat, right?" It's almost dark now! "I think that whether she was an intern in a hotel or a small restaurant at her uncle's house, the kitchen staff she knew either took turns to eat in batches, or ate after finishing their work, at most they stuffed something to the bottom before starting work, how could they be so swaggering and lazy?
"Don't bother you, we have our own measure." The woman walked into the house with her head held high. Chunying had to argue again, and Xiangyu suddenly said coldly beside her: "This little sister doesn't have to work in vain, this mother is a great figure in the house, and the daughter she gave birth to is a person in the house who is favored by the second young master, our eldest and youngest grandmothers are trampled under their feet, how strong can the third young master be?" They only recognize one master! ”
Chun Ying caught a glimpse of the mothers-in-law's face changing, her eyes rolled, and she smiled: "So that's the case, no wonder their rules are so weird!" If the old lady, Hou Ye and Mrs. have to cook first, our third young master has nothing to say, filial piety, but the meals of several mothers are cooked before the old lady, Hou Ye and Mrs., what is the reason? Could it be that several mothers are more noble than the old lady, the Hou Ye and the wife? ”
"Little hooves! Don't talk nonsense! The mother-in-law in charge stretched her face, "You don't sow discord here!" My wife hates people like you the most! ”
Chun Ying snorted coldly: "I just came to pass the food to the third young master, and I became the person my wife hates the most?" What does it mean to reverse black and white? That's it. Anyway, my word has arrived, and it's up to you whether you listen or not. It was the old lady who spoke and asked us to urge the third young master to eat well, not only did you violate the old lady's intentions, but you also didn't take the third young master in your eyes, I don't care what the consequences will be in the future! "Then turn around and leave.
Xiangyu also curled the corners of her mouth: "Isn't it?" Our grandmother is not in good health, and the old lady also told her to take more supplements, but it turned out that you deducted the ginseng for the marriage, I don't know what the old lady will think if she knows? After saying that, she also took the little girl away.
The mother-in-law's face was red and white for a while, but she was worried in her heart. The eldest young master and the two sons, she has always looked down on them, and she usually deceives a lot, but if the eldest and young grandmothers really would rather lose face than sue the old lady, she will not be able to please her, and her daughter is only afraid that she will suffer in front of the second young master. Thinking of this, she had to temporarily rest her heart to please the second young master, and casually summoned two mothers-in-law who didn't come on weekdays, and ordered them to prepare the old lady's meal first. The two mothers-in-law had to endure their anger.
Chunying walked out for a while, and when she saw Xiangyu and the little girl following, she slowed down and turned around and smiled at them.
Xiangyu smiled back, and asked again: "Are you the girl of Huanhuaxuan?" Why haven't I seen you? What's your name? ”
"I've only been here for a short time, my name is Chunying." Chunying paused, "Lu Chunying, the way to walk." ”
Xiangyu's eyes lit up: "Surname Lu?" Do you recognize Lu Chongjun? ”
"I recognize, he's my second uncle." Chun Ying stepped forward with a smile, "It's been almost a month since I came in, it's time for the second uncle to come back, right?" How is he now? ”
"Well, I just met him a while ago." Xiangyu looked Chunying up and down a few times, "There is something...... Uncle Lu said that his niece was also on an errand in the house, and she was in the courtyard of the Third Young Master, so he asked us to see you and bring him a letter, but I don't quite understand what he said. ”
Chunying was a little nervous: "What is it?" ”
"Say it......" Xiangyu thought for a while, "Your father's affairs are already clear, so you can rest assured that you will be on an errand, but it will only take a few years." ”
Chunying was overjoyed: "Really?! Xiangyu nodded confusedly, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know what this means, but since you are Uncle Lu's niece, you are not an outsider, so come and sit with us when you have time." ”
Chunying didn't hear her clearly at all, she was excited in her heart.
The second uncle's words meant: Her father has the opportunity to be transferred to the eldest young master, as long as things go well, in a few years, the whole family will leave the Hou Mansion with the eldest young master, which is a natural thing!
Chunying was suddenly full of confidence, she would be honest and wait for the day she left!
(Happy winter solstice~~~ "Winter New Year", have you eaten well today?) )
