Chapter 41: Aftermath
In the afternoon, I will go to the Qingyun list, and I will change it again in the evening to thank you~)
"Why does today's bird's nest porridge taste wrong?" Sun put down the spoon in his hand and frowned.
"The maid doesn't know, the maid takes it in the kitchen as usual." Agarwood, who received the bird's nest porridge today, was so frightened that his little face turned white when he heard this, and he knelt down with a "bang".
Sun glanced at Agarwood faintly, and was about to speak, when the door curtain moved, and Mama Chang walked in.
"What's wrong with that, old lady?" Mama Chang was stunned when she saw Agarwood kneeling on the ground, and asked hurriedly.
Sun waved his hand and let the agarwood rise.
"You help me taste this porridge to see if it's wrong or if it's tasteless in my mouth." Sun pointed to the small bowl resting on the table and said to Mama Chang.
"Yes." Mama Chang hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the bowl of bird's nest porridge and took a sip on her side.
"How?" Sun asked.
Mama Chang carefully touched it for a while, and said, "The slave maid remembers that the bird's nest porridge that the old lady drinks on weekdays is filled with milk, and this bowl seems to lack the taste of milk." ”
"Sure enough." Sun smiled when he heard this, and then frowned again: "This bird's nest porridge is used to making in the kitchen on weekdays, why did you forget to add milk today?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the agarwood standing on the side: "Who is the cook on duty in the kitchen today?" ”
Agarwood tilted his head and thought for a while when he heard this: "Ah, the maid listened to the people in the kitchen calling that the cook Chungui sister-in-law." ”
"Sister-in-law Chungui?" Sun looked at Mama Chang.
Mama Chang immediately said: "It is the daughter-in-law of the steward of the stable in the outer courtyard, and she was also on duty in the old lady's yard before she was matched. ”
Sun listened carefully and thought for a while: "But the spring girl who once recognized Mama Li as her godmother?" ”
Mama Chang smiled: "The old lady really has a good memory, it is her." After the old lady matched her with someone, she let her go to the kitchen to work as an errand because she could do the work on the stove with both hands. ”
When Sun heard this, he said lightly: "I haven't asked about her, and this errand was also promised to her by Mama Li, so it's no wonder that she is grateful." ”
Mama Chang smiled and said, "Maybe the kitchen was busy today, and I forgot to add milk." The slave went to the kitchen and watched them make another bowl. ”
Sun glanced at Mama Chang: "Don't eat it, when they redo it and send it over, I should eat it at night." The kitchen is an important place in the inner courtyard, how can a sloppy person be an errand in the kitchen? Ming'er asked her to go to the pulp washing room, and find a more cautious one on the stove. ”
Mama Chang hurriedly bowed her head and responded.
"In addition, if anyone in this courtyard has no heart to work because of any favor from Mama Li, he should bring it up earlier, and I will let them go to Mama Li as a companion. Our Wang family will not collapse because of which one is missing. Sun's voice was slightly cold.
"Yes, old lady." Mama Chang said busily.
"Let's take it." Sun pointed to the bird's nest porridge and instructed the agarwood, and then said to Mama Chang: "Come and help me remove the hairpin ring." ”
Agarwood took the porridge bowl and retreated, and Mama Chang followed the Sun to the dresser, removed the headdress on Sun's head, and helped her comb her hair carefully.
"The old lady's hair is still so smooth and black." Mama Chang praised.
Sun closed his eyes and shook his head and sighed: "Time is not forgiving, old man." ”
Mama Chang smiled: "The slave maid remembers that when the eldest master first got married, the old lady sighed that she was old, but her hair has not changed at all after more than ten years. ”
Sun smiled when he heard this: "Why hasn't it changed?" I'm already a grandmother, and in a few years, when Brother Jue marries a daughter-in-law, I'll be a great-grandmother. ”
"I heard from the people below, the eldest master is asking people to look for the recipe for Yan Yishou to give you a birthday gift."
Sun shook his head and smiled: "This kid has loved tossing blindly since he was a child, and he also explained that the people around him can't tell me to know, and now even those sweeping mothers at home know about it." ”
"The eldest lord is filial, which makes the people below very praised."
Sun sighed: "He is a filial child, that is the ...... character"
"No one in the world is perfect, old lady, you are deeply responsible for love, and you are too demanding. To a family like the Wang family, as long as the eldest lord is pure and kind-hearted, filial piety and courtesy, it is nothing compared. ”
Hearing this, Sun nodded: "Why don't I know?" It's just his own child, always hoping that he can be better. Like this one, I want to see how he ends! I won't interfere this time, just let him take this lesson and see if he can grow this wisdom in the future. ”
Hearing this, Mama Chang persuaded: "Old lady, if you want to teach your son a lesson, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the eldest lord is an official of the imperial court, so why should he save some face. If this matter spreads, not to mention that the eldest master is not good in front of his colleagues, even in front of the servants in the house, he will lose face. ”
Hearing this, Sun frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "I used to care about his face like this, so I always followed behind to help him clean up the mess. It's just that I can't help him like this after all, what if I'm not there for him in the future? ”
Mama Chang said: "The old lady is also reasonable. Neither parents nor children can accompany each other for a lifetime, so this husband and wife must share blessings and woes and help each other. ”
"Kim?" Hearing this, Sun shook his head: "She's not good yet." I handed over this family to her, just to let her try to sit in the position of the housewife and think about the problem, don't be short-sighted, and help Bai'er be the housekeeper in the future. ”
"If you don't let the eldest lady try to take on the responsibilities of a housewife, then the eldest lady may need more time to become the housewife you expect."
"Then tell me what to do." Sun got up and walked to the couch.
Mama Chang was busy changing Sun's clothes.
"You really shouldn't meddle in this matter anymore, let the eldest lord and eldest lady solve it." Mama Chang explained her method to Sun in detail.
In this way, the eldest master himself filled in the hole in the outer courtyard, and even if others knew, he would have nothing to say. And the eldest lady, let her suffer some small losses, and she will definitely pay more attention to the affairs of the eldest master in the future, and if she sees anything wrong, she will also persuade her in time, and she will no longer care less because she knows that everything is supported by you. The book says that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and it is better to try to let them learn to solve it than if you keep helping to solve it. ”
Sun was silent for a while.
Mama Chang glanced at Sun and said seriously: "Old lady, the slave has followed you since childhood, you are a clear person, and she has always spoken to you bluntly and truthfully, and she will not beat around the bush. What I said today may be transgression, but it has never been selfish. If you think that what the slave and maid said offended the lord and the lady, then you punished the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid did not complain. But these words of the slave and maid were really the words of the slave and maid. ”
Sun smiled, she patted Mama Chang's hand and said: "I know your temperament, it was like this when you were young, if you are stubborn, you will have a donkey's temper, and you dare to say anything." Mother admired your character very much. I know what you said, but is there really ice stored in the He family's ice warehouse and sold to our house? ”
The corners of Mama Chang's eyes were a little red, but she immediately replied: "Yes, the slave maid inquired when the He family came." The slave maid has some personal relations with Mama Lin in the yard of the eldest lady, and the slave and maid will reveal the news to her early tomorrow morning, and the old lady will pretend not to know, and it is best to lose your temper with the eldest lady at the appropriate time. ”
