Chapter 11: Supper
"Yuegui, forget it, don't talk about it." Xun Shuzhi wants to calm things down again.
"Girl, they just saw that you had a good temperament, so they bullied you one mile at a time. Mama Chang said clearly, and Mrs. instructed the kitchen to prepare bird's nest porridge for the girl. But they brought the leftovers. …… One or two of you are idle and don't do anything, and your mouths are full of oil. The girl did the needlework until it was almost dawn, and then she ate the leftovers you had pulled. Whoever has such a truth, the house has really become your world. Laurel continued to scold.
So the kitchen didn't send bird's nest porridge? Xun Qingran listened to the movement of the East House and asked the bellflower to open the food box sent. Sure enough, there was a small bowl of rice, a plate of fried bitter gourd, and a small plate of pickles.
Sure enough, it was a very "fire-free" supper.
"Girl, Yuegui is making trouble, and the second girl can't stop it. I also went over and threw this thing in the face of the stinky slave of He Shan's family. "Malt is eager to try.
"Who else is here to deliver the food?" Xun Qingran asked.
"He Shanjia brought two mothers-in-law and a little girl, and just handed me the food box and sprayed me with the smell of wine. Well, there are also Changli's families who are also here. ”
Xun Qingran lowered his head and thought about it, so he ordered the bellflower to take out a string of money, "Go and give it to the Changli family, and say that I rewarded it." The supper was good and delivered at the right time. ”
Kikyo obeys the order to go out and will be back in a while.
"Girl, I gave the money to the Changli family. He Shan's family was in the second girl's house, arguing with Yuegui. Chang Li's family went in and gave the reward to He Shan's family, saying that it was the girl's reward, and the porridge was delicious. ”
Xun Qingran nodded, listening carefully to the movement over there.
"Okay, you slave who looks down on people, and if you co-author, you're bullying us. If you can't make sense today, your aunt and grandmother will go to your wife to distinguish between you. Obviously, Yuegui mistakenly thought that the kitchen had sent Xun Qing's hair delicious, and she became even more attacked.
"You little girl dare to catch me? …… If you want me to say, girl, you can save it. Also bird's nest porridge, why don't you pick a bird's nest and I'll cook it for you. Nowadays, the bird's nest for my wife is not enough, two days ago, my father-in-law went to the city, or lost his own money, only to buy back so one, two, two, two. You don't look in the mirror to see who you are, so you take chicken feathers as arrows, and you also want to eat bird's nest porridge. This black light is blinding, the fire is cold, and some of them eat a mouthful of heat, so they should steal the fun. Obviously, it was He Shan's family who spoke, and he was full of confidence.
"Who do you say my girl is, why is she not worthy of eating bird's nest, let you be a slave to do this. I'm fighting with you. "Laurel isn't easy to mess with.
I could hear the sound of ping-pong in the East House, mixed with the screams of women, and it seemed that there was a fight.
"Laurel girl, let go. The girl has fish and meat here, and the third girl has nothing. "A mother-in-law persuaded to fight.
"Don't tell her this, I don't know what to do, I look at Aunt Wu's face and take care of them, but I tear up with me, and see if you will eat what I have in the kitchen in the future."
"Our girl is the master, and the food is all her own, what do you take care of, when did the kitchen become your home, a stinky and shameless thing." Yuegui was obviously furious, where could she listen to such persuasion.
There was another commotion, and the more Yue Gui and He Shanjia scolded, the more they disregarded their faces, but Xun Shuzhi didn't know how to suppress them.
Xun Qingran couldn't listen to it, so he hurriedly put on his coat and walked out with bellflower and malt. It happened that a group of people outside the gate of the courtyard came with lanterns, and it was Mama Chang who took people to patrol the night, and Xun Qingran stopped.
"The three girls haven't slept yet? What happened to this, in the middle of the night, the girl's yard was arguing like this, what kind of system? Chang Mama said.
"I was about to go to find Mama, and the kitchen people went to the second sister's house, and we couldn't do any work."
Xun Qingran followed Mama Zhou into the east house, and saw that there was a mess in the house, and the food box was overturned on the ground, and the original dishes could no longer be seen, but there was really fish and meat. Xun Shuzhi stood in front of the embroidery frame, trembling all over, Yuegui and He Shanjia pulled each other's hair and rolled into a ball. The mother-in-law of the two kitchens is also entangled with Xun Shuzhi's girls, toons and acacia flowers. Only the Chang Li family did not participate, and helped Xun Shuzhi to comfort.
"Stop, what's going on?" Mama Chang drank to stop everyone.
The wife instructed them to bring bird's nest porridge, and when they were full of food and drink, they took some leftovers for the girl to eat. It's the same with the three girls. Yue Gui had heard Xun Qingran speak towards her, and she was reasonable, so she was not afraid.
He Shan's family also hurriedly defended, saying that there was no bird's nest, and they specially made another good dish and sent it, but they were thrown in her face by Yuegui.
"This matter must be handled strictly." Mama Chang sank her face.
"Don't be angry, it's not a big deal. It's that Yuegui is too anxious, and these meals are very good. Xun Shuzhi stopped.
"I'll cook a new dish and bring it to the second girl. Mama ......, "He Shan's family didn't want to make a big deal of it, so he came to Mama Chang, and he didn't know what to hand over."
Mama Chang hesitated, "In this way, it's nothing." Then it's all ......."
"Ugh!" Xun Qingran screamed, it turned out that she wanted to walk over to comfort Xun Shuzhi, but she tripped over the broken porcelain under her feet.
"God, this is not the time of the New Year, my wife gave the second sister Ruyao a vase!"
Fang's rule is that there is only an account book to record the antique decorations in each girl's room. Although these things were placed in the house of Xun Qingran and others, they did not have the power to dispose of them. If it is damaged, the whole room will be reprimanded, and the person who damaged it will be compensated according to the price. This Ru kiln vase is still done well by Xun Shuzhi, and the Fang family specially rewarded her with a few taels of silver.
"What can I do about this?" Xun Shuzhi sat down on the ground.
Yuegui knelt down even more, if the matter was not settled, the responsibility for breaking the vase would fall on her, and it would not be worth the money to sell her.
"Ask Mama to call the shots, He Shan's family bullied our girl and deliberately smashed the vase given by his wife."
Of course, He Shan's family didn't admit it, and several girls in Xun Shuzhi's room knew that the matter was important, and they all said that He Shan's family smashed it.
Xun Shuzhi didn't say anything about it, so Mama Chang escorted the group of people down. At this time, he didn't dare to wake up the Fang Clan, so he had to wait for the Fang Clan to wake up tomorrow and then theorize.
At this time, it was already four watches, Xun Qing couldn't go to bed and take a nap, and the sky was bright. She hurriedly got up, washed and dressed, and went to Fang's side with Xun Shuzhi to say goodbye. Xun Qingran wanted to mention Xun Shuzhi a few more words, but Xun Shuzhi was worried and absent-minded, Aunt Wu came over on the other side, and hurriedly pulled Xun Shuzhi to say something, so Xun Qingran had to give up.
Fang sat on the couch with two food boxes and a pile of porcelain pieces in front of him. One of the food boxes was a supper given to Xun Qing by the kitchen last night, and Xun Qing did not touch it at all.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Fang asked.
"The people in the kitchen quarreled with the girl from Yuegui, and they quarreled. Laurel accidentally smashed the vase. Mrs. Don't be angry, just look for laurel to make up for it. "Aunt Xiao Wu obviously already knew about last night's incident, and she didn't mention Xun Shuzhi, nor did she mention who was in the kitchen, and only put the blame on Yuegui.
"Which one asks you, were you there yesterday? Don't step back yet. The Fang clan reprimanded Aunt Wu and looked at Xun Shuzhi with his eyes.
Xun Shuzhi stood up, opened her mouth, and stood for a long time, but she didn't say anything. At this time, a little girl came in with two bowls of bird's nest porridge, Fang waved his hand, indicating that he had no appetite, and Xun Shulan took the bowl and ate it slowly.
The Fang family asked people to bring He Shan's family and Yuegui in for questioning.
“…… Yesterday, Mama Chang came and said that his wife had instructed the kitchen to prepare bird's nest porridge for the girl, but He Shanjia carried his wife behind his back and sent some leftovers to the girl. ”
"Madam, what a small wrong. In the middle of the night, there are things in the kitchen, and there are not leftovers. ”
"You're lying to your wife. Last night, Toon went to urge supper, and a few of you set a table of wine and food, only ate for yourself, and scolded Toon. Later, it was not given to the girl that was left over from your table. ”
It turns out that there is still this hidden secret, no wonder Yuegui had a seizure like last night.
Fang Shi glared at He Shan's family, turned his head to look at Yuegui, his face was very unkind. Xun Qing said in his heart, the big leader of the Fang family is used to saying big things and spending small money. I often write blank checks, but for the sake of looking good. The people below also knew her temper, and no one dared to ask for it seriously. In Fang's eyes, it was obvious that the girl Yuegui didn't know each other, and she made a fuss about it.
"Madam, the slave is wronged. The slave didn't want to make bird's nest porridge for the girl to eat, but there was a shortage of bird's nest this year, and he only bought a few taels two days ago, and he had already eaten it. He Shanjia defended again
"If you don't have it, why don't you come and report me?" Fang's said.
Everyone seemed to selectively ignore what Xun Shulan was eating.
"So, even if you are unconscious, I heard that she smashed the vase in the girl's house, and then uncovered your skin. Shuzhi, how do you usually discipline your subordinates? ”
Xun Shuzhi glanced at Aunt Xiao Wu, biting her lip and not speaking.
"Madam, He Shan's family didn't say that the bird's nest was gone, only that our girl didn't deserve to eat bird's nest. Later, he also said that there were a few taels of bird's nest in the house, and he spent his own money to buy them, and they were for his wife to eat. Xun Shuzhi didn't help her speak, the Fang family was obviously partial to He Shan's family, Yue Gui was naturally afraid, and she remembered her sister-in-law's words last night.
As soon as these words came out, Fang's face changed suddenly, Xun Shulan choked in her throat, and put down the bowl in her hand.
"What do you say? She said that He Zhong spent money for us to eat bird's nest? ”
"Yes." Yuegui observed her words and realized that this sentence was her turning point, so she repeated what He Shanjia said last night, and added some condiments. When everyone heard it, they became the master of Xun Mansion, and they all paid for it by He Zhong's family.
Xun Qingran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got to the point, and last night's arrangement did not fall through.
