Chapter 15 Extravagance Qi Granny

After Jiang Shu and Qi Xuan separated, they rested in Tinglan Garden for a while, changed into light clothes and took Bai Su to Mingci Hall.

In the Mingci Hall, Mrs. Qi had already instructed Mama Feng to prepare dinner.

Today is the first day after Jiang Shu passed the door.

It was also the first day that everyone in Qi Mansion dined together.

A few days ago, Jiang Shu claimed to be sick and hid in Tinglan Garden, but never came out.

When Mrs. Qi first got the power of the family, she had nowhere to show off, so she seemed to be missing something.

Now that Jiang Shu's illness has recovered, it is a good time for the family to eat as a family.

"Old lady, dinner is ready." Mama Feng said respectfully.

This old lady Qi also has a hand in charge of the house, taking advantage of the lady's illness in the past few days, by virtue of the power of the head of the family, she bought a lot of people to come in, and placed them in various places in the Qi Mansion to take charge of internal affairs.

Now in this Qi Mansion, except for Tinglan Garden, the old lady Qi knows it well, and she is really the master.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi was so aggressive, she gave in to Mrs. Qi's concession.

Although Mama Feng said that she had accepted the silver from Tinglan Garden, she became more and more respectful to Old Lady Qi.

After all, this big family has the power to decide the life and death of the slave.

Mama Feng thought she was very clear.

"Are Xuan'er and his daughter-in-law here?" Old Lady Qi asked.

"The people have come to talk, and the lord and the lady are on the way." Mama Feng replied fluently.

On the wedding night, no one came to dinner, and Mrs. Qi lost her temper.

The same moldy head, Mama Feng didn't want to touch it twice, so she sent the little maid to wait on the way from Tinglan Garden to Mingci Hall and the study to Mingci Hall early.

Seeing the two masters coming, they went back and forth first.

"That'll be fine." Hearing Mama Feng's answer, Old Lady Qi was relieved.

She didn't want to go through it again.

"Old lady, the master is here." Knowing that the old lady is looking forward to the old lady and the old lady, Fluttershy sees Qi Xuan walking into the Ming Ci Hall and pays homage to the old lady Qi.

"Mother." Qi Xuan greeted Mrs. Qi.

"Why are you alone, your daughter-in-law?" Old Lady Qi asked with displeasure.

"Tinglan Yuan is farther away from Mingci Hall than the study, so Shu'er is naturally coming later." Qi Xuan saw Old Lady Qi's face and helped Jiang Shu to explain.

After all, he had just come back after being told in the Jiang Mansion.

And tomorrow he will go to the court to be sealed, so naturally he will be better for Jiang Shu.

It's not that his mother's mind Qi Xuan doesn't know, it's just that in this battle in the inner courtyard, he can open one eye and close one eye, but he doesn't want to affect his Qingyun Road.

"What, now that your daughter-in-law is well, are you still asleep in the study?" Old Lady Qi asked.

Qi Xuan had the heart to explain, but he didn't expect to touch Mrs. Qi's moldy head again.

"Shu'er's health is not yet well, and it took a lot of effort to return to the door today, and the doctor said that she still has to recuperate for a while." Qi Xuan explained.

"Old lady, lady has arrived." Fluttershy says.

Jiang Shu happened to walk to Mingci Hall at this time, and happened to hear Mrs. Qi scolding herself, and Qi Xuan explained the matter for herself.

It seems that the beating of the Jiang family is very useful. Qi Xuan has been sensible a lot.

Looking at Mrs. Qi's behavior today, since the Huairou policy is not good, shouldn't I find an opportunity to knock on it, so that Mrs. Qi is also sober and sober.

"Old lady." Jiang Shu saluted slightly.

"You're here." The old lady was about to ask.

"Mother, since everyone is here, let's start eating." Qi Xuan saw Mrs. Qi's thoughts and hurriedly changed the topic.

Old Lady Qi looked at Qi Xuan's attitude, and thought of what Qi Xuan had said a few nights ago.

Tomorrow is the day when Xuan'er joins the office, and it is inevitable that the Jiang family will help him.

It's just that in the future, there will be time to teach the daughter-in-law.

"Then let's pass the meal." Old Lady Qi said to Mama Feng.

"Yes, old lady." Mama Feng should arrive.

Mama Feng clapped her hands, and the maids rushed into the food.

Yipin Pot, Fairy Duck, Jade Belt Shrimp, Oily Bean, Red Grilled Shark's Fin, Pocket Tofu, Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Drunken Pork Ribs, Lychee Meat, Youxi Bu Duck, Seven Star Fish Balls, Soup Soft Beads, Lian Fish Dragon Body, Anchovy Shrimp......

One dish after another is served without stopping......

Qi Xuan watched the maids serve the food with a little surprise. Because he had a bad conversation with Mrs. Qi that day, he ate alone in the study.

He knew that Old Lady Qi liked luxury, especially appetite.

Because of the early death of Qi's father, it was not easy for Mrs. Qi to pull the big family, and she picked up their brothers and sisters for whatever they had to eat on weekdays.

So Qi Xuan didn't care about the old lady's extravagance.

The wind and rain in Dayong are smooth, the country is peaceful, and the price of ingredients is not expensive, mainly because of the Jiang family's silver spent by the Qi Mansion.

But there are too many dishes, the big table is full, and the dishes and chopsticks in front of them are much smaller.

The amount of this dish is estimated to be as much as three times that of Jiang Mansion at noon, but the number of diners is less than half.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Jiang Shu's face was as usual.

Mrs. Qi has been a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for a lifetime, and she knows her mother-in-law's temper very well.

When he first took power, it coincided with Jiang Shu and Qi Xuan coming from Jiang's mansion to Ning.

In my heart, I just want to compare the Jiang family with pomp and circumstance.

Or I don't want to despise my noble daughter-in-law.

It's just that Mrs. Qi still doesn't know that although Dayong is rich, the Son of Heaven is prepared for danger in times of peace and still advocates frugality.

And in Dayong's powerful family, the attention to eating is never in the amount of food, but in the exquisiteness.

In this way, he not only caters to the will of the saints, but also fulfills his own face.

Therefore, Mrs. Qi is the most pompous, but in the eyes of the powerful family, it is ridiculous.

After all, it is the invisible flaunting of wealth that is the most deadly.

Take Jiang Mansion as an example, although the number of dishes is not as good as Qi Mansion.

But it is indeed exquisite, more of the Jiang family cook, the recipes passed down from generation to generation, which are not only delicious, but also nourishing the body.

For example, the crystal bag, although small, contains the filling.

The fillings change according to the season, and the freshest ingredients are taken at the moment.

For now, bamboo shoots are the most tender, and they are filled with freshly dug fresh shoots.

Although I ate bamboo shoots, the bamboo shoots were soaked in broth made from old hens.

When the bamboo shoots soak through the deliciousness of the chicken broth, the chicken is discarded.

That's why it's both light and delicious, and fragrant.

Mrs. Qi tasted wealth for the first time, and only learned superficial kung fu, unlike in her previous life, and slowly understood the way of enjoyment.

Jiang Shu took the people of the Jiang family to take care of the Qi Mansion and shared the daily expenses of the Jiang family with the Qi family.

Old Mrs. Qi has the dots of her noble daughter-in-law, and her behavior and demeanor gradually get rid of her former vulgarity.

became more and more like a noble old lady, and slowly integrated into the circle of Chang'an Taijun.

Now, looking at the old lady Qi everywhere to draw tigers and become anti-dogs, Jiang Shu only feels that the days ahead will become more and more interesting, to see if this vulgar and selfish old lady can still be accepted by the old ladies of Chang'an.
