Chapter 90 Bird's Nest Porridge
Xun Qingran returned to Ning Yuanju, and the Tong family and Fang Shoucai's family were already waiting there. Xun Qingran called Mama Song, and a few big girls such as citron, celery, xiangxiu, and bellflower, and called a few housekeepers' daughters-in-law to come over.
"Although Ning Yuanju is not big, there are a lot of things. Mama Song is too hard to be alone. The Tong family was originally an old man from the Hou Mansion, and he knew the rules and would take care of things, so he would be a helper for Mama Song, and we would take care of the affairs of this courtyard together in the future. Xun Qingran commanded.
At the moment, the Tong family was naturally very proud, Mama Song only lowered her hand and listened, and there were no other words, and the others were even more speechless.
When the Tong family got married, her girl was immediately promoted to a higher level, and then she followed Xun Qing back to the door, and was left in the Xun family, but now she came from the Prayer Hall, and the second lady of Qi sent Fang Shoucai's family to accompany her. There are other articles in this, whether it is these big girls or the daughter-in-law in charge, which one has no calculation in mind.
"Mama Song is an old man who serves the fourth master, the Tong family, you will learn more from Mama Song in the future." Xun Qingran gave instructions to the Tong family again.
The Tong family hurried over to greet Mama Song, where could Mama Song bear it, she was busy and returned the courtesy.
"Mama Song and Mama Tong are both capable people, and the fourth grandmother has two of them, but she is worry-free." Fang Shoucai's family laughed on the side.
"That's fine, home and everything. If you work together, the fourth master and I can also worry about it. Xun Qing said, so he sent Fang Shoucai's family out, dismissed everyone, and only called Tong to come in.
Xun Qingran first asked how the Fang family was, and then asked the Tong family about the situation when they were in the Xun family.
The Tong family answered one by one, "...... The wife asked a lot about the grandmother, but the slave only vaguely agreed. I begged my wife according to my grandmother's wishes, and my wife sent a letter to our second wife and sent a slave back. ”
Xun Qingran nodded, "You did a good job." I have something to tell you, and now that the second wife has also given you decency, don't get carried away again. If you say anything or do anything, it won't be as cheap as driving you out. ”
"Grandma, on the day I returned to the door, the slaves were poured too much soup by them, and they were stunned for a while, and they won't dare to do it again in the future." The Tong family was busy.
"Well, I believe you weren't stubborn to let you come back. In this courtyard, if you want to take care of things, you have to show some real skills, and there is an important word, I want to command you. This matter of Ning Yuanju can only be solved in Ning Yuanju. Or if there is something going out, or something is going out, I still ask you. ”
The Tong family's voice should be.
Xun Qingran softened her face at this time, "You have done all this, I am the best master to speak." What you ask for, I know in my heart, and I won't let you fail. ”
"The slave family serves grandma faithfully."
"If only you understood." Xun Qingran nodded and sent the Tong family out.
In the blink of an eye, at the end of October, the weather became cold, and the houses of the masters of the Qi Mansion began to use charcoal basins. Qi Wanrong's wedding date is approaching, and Xun Qing dyed and prepared a set of jewelry as a gift for adding boxes. Aunt Zheng, Fang's family and others also came to add boxes to Qi Wanrong, and everyone sat at Rong's place for a while, and then came to the prayer hall.
Second Lady Qi, Aunt Zheng, and Fang Shi sat around the kang and talked. Zheng Shuer wore a pea-green narrow jacket and a pine-flowered skirt, and sat on a chair under the kang with Qi Wanli and Qi Wanyan. Xun Qingran stood on the ground, leading people to serve tea and fruits.
"You are still a new daughter-in-law, and there are no outsiders here, come, sit next to your aunt, rest and talk." Aunt Zheng saw Xun Qingran busy underground, so she beckoned her to sit down.
Xun Qingran looked at the second lady Qi and the Fang family, and naturally refused to take a seat.
"I'm a junior, that's how it should be, and I'm not tired at all. Auntie's stove is a little cold, and I ask someone to add some new carbon. Xun Qingran took the hand stove from Aunt Zheng and handed it to the citron.
"This child is a good person, or the eldest sister is blessed, I can see that my eyes are hot, and I want to find a good daughter-in-law to give my brother Shuo." Aunt Zheng smiled and said to the second lady.
Before Second Lady Qi could speak, Fang Shi spoke first: "Third sister, don't boast about her, she is proud. Speaking of which, the eldest sister will tweak/take care of her, but when she is at home, she doesn't have such eyes. Fang's tone was a little sour.
There was a thorn in Fang's words, but Xun Qingran just didn't understand it, and still waited with Xiao by the side.
From the moment she came in to serve, Fang's critical gaze swirled with her, she was clear, but she didn't take it to heart. This is the Qi Mansion, and there are Second Lady Qi and Aunt Zheng here, and the Fang family always has to take care of some decency.
Besides, the Tong family also told her that Master Xun invited another imperial doctor for the Fang family, and specially prescribed a prescription to treat the Fang family's liver fire. I heard that this imperial doctor is specially for the nobles in the palace, and it is miraculous to say that Fang's temper is really much better after taking the medicine prescribed by this imperial doctor every day.
In fact, Xun Qingran has always suspected that Fang's has menopausal syndrome. Fang's family has always had a heart disease, and he is already forty years old, Master Xun rarely goes to Fang's room to rest in recent years, and after arriving in the capital, he even goes to Fang's Si'an Courtyard. There are so many things in Xunfu, many of them are not as good as Fang's intentions, Fang's is not a broad-hearted person, menopause is early, and the symptoms are more serious, which is also very possible.
If you want to talk about resentful women, they are naturally the most in the palace. Since the imperial doctor treated the nobles in the palace, he must have seen this symptom. Fang Shi took the right medicine, she had a better temper, she handled things rationally, and everyone was worry-free.
"When you are a girl at home, you are naturally pampered. Being a daughter-in-law is different, this is also common sense. Aunt Zheng said with a smile.
Seeing that Aunt Zheng was like this, and Second Lady Qi didn't make peace with her, she changed the topic.
The next day is the day before Qi Wanrong's wedding, and according to custom, the Qi Mansion will send someone to the groom's house to shop the room.
"The second sister-in-law's housekeeper can't leave, I'll take someone to make a room for the fifth sister." Grandma Qi San recommended herself with a smile, and seemed to be very sure, this matter belonged to her.
Since Grandma Qi San's dowry was revealed as shoddy, Grandma Qi San later complained to Xun Qingran twice, saying that she suffered a dumb loss, and the dowry of the girl of the Qi family also asked her to be a sister-in-law.
Xun Qingran inquired privately, after all, it was Grandma Qi San who invited the eldest lady to talk to Grandma Qi Er. Grandma Qi San didn't take out three thousand taels, those dowries Xun Qing dyed and looked at it, and it was estimated that it was worth a thousand taels of silver, and a lot of clumsy household goods were found from nowhere, and they were repainted and painted, but the face was still passable. Qi Wanrong and Aunt Zhao didn't make trouble anymore, and they didn't know how Second Grandma Qi mediated in it.
The third brother and sister are still at home, helping the fifth sister clean up. According to the rules, the eldest sister-in-law in this shop. Although Mrs. Quanfu was invited separately, the sister-in-law had both children and daughters, and this sign was the best. Grandma Qi said with a smile.
The smile on Grandma Qi San's face disappeared, and she stood there a little embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, don't shirk it, this is a lifelong event for the fifth sister, and if the eldest brother knows, he will definitely want the sister-in-law to go." Second Grandma Qi said with a smile, and then went over and took Grandma Qi's hand and whispered, "The fifth sister asked me to beg my sister-in-law." ”
Qi Da's grandmother was very gracious, and Rong also felt that this was very good, and the matter was settled like this.
Xun Qingran just followed the day to see that the groom had been on a foreign job, and there was no house in the capital, so he only borrowed a house from his family to marry Qi Wanrong. Xun Qingran also saw the groom's official, and sure enough, as Rong Yunnuan said, he was a big man with a beard.
"The fifth girl got married, and I heard that someone has come to the door to propose to the fifth girl." Waiting for Qi Yu to go out in the morning, Xun Qingran leaned on the big kang and rubbed his somewhat sore waist.
"The two girls in the family are of age, and Miss Rong and Miss Yan are not young, in the past two years, and some of them have become lively." Kikyo answered on the side.
A housekeeper's daughter-in-law came in, and Xun Qingran sent them away one by one.
Mama Song brought in a gold-painted tray and a bowl of bird's nest.
Xun Qingran asked the bellflower to take it and put it on the kang table at hand.
"Just let the little girls send it over, Mama and sit down and rest." Xun Qingran greeted Mama Song with a smile.
Mama Song stood beside her with her hands down, and did not sit, "The fourth master ordered to come down, this is the duty of a slave." ”
Xun Qingran opened the lid of the bowl and looked at it, the bird's nest porridge was thick and steaming.
"Is this only me, or do they have both big * milk and two grandmothers?" Xun Qingran asked.
"Back to grandma, this bird's nest has a fixed number every month in each yard. Several other grandmothers also ate it. ”
"Oh, it's all from the kitchen?"
"Back to grandma, our yard is received from above, in our small kitchen, another charcoal stove, the fourth watch will start to boil, grandma gets up in the morning and eats, it is more convenient than taking it from the kitchen."
"It's rare that you're thoughtful." Xun Qingran picked up the bowl.
"Miss Rong is here!" There is a girl report outside.
The curtain of the door was raised, and Rong Yunnuan walked in wearing a long jacket with full sleeves and placket.
Xun Qingran hurriedly asked her to sit on the kang, "How do you look sick?" ”
Rong Yunnuan's lips were a little pale, his face was dark, and he was not as energetic as usual when he walked.
"I'm sick." Rong Yunnuan winked at Xun Qingran, and said in a cozy manner.
"Malt, give me two lead pillows, your grandmother is warm on the kang, let me crook for a while." Rong Yunnuan is very skilled in directing the malt.
Xun Qingran couldn't help laughing.
Rong Yunnuan is fourteen years old, but he is still ignorant. A while ago, she came to Kwai Shui, and she didn't know it, she only said that she was uncomfortable, until she soiled her skirt and even stained the cushions, and she didn't find out. She didn't know what was going on, and she was so frightened that she began to cry. happened to be next to Xun Qingran, so he explained to her and taught her how to deal with it at this time. Later, Xun Qingran quietly replied to Rong's family, Rong's was very happy, and he also put on a small act to celebrate Rong Yunnuan.
Looking at Rong Yunnuan's appearance, it must be Kwai Shui again.
"You girl, you're getting more and more tricky. With the old lady in that warm pavilion, which is not warmer. Since you are uncomfortable, don't run out early in the morning, be careful of catching a cold, and eat some hot food at this time. ”
Xun Qingran got up and wanted to give Rong Yunnuan his own hand stove.
"I haven't had an appetite yet, I've walked a few steps, and now I want to eat."
Rong Yunnuan saw the bird's nest porridge on the table, and when she brought it up, she felt that it was hot, so she took a spoon and wanted to drink it.
