Chapter 16: Dinner Secret Confrontation
The Qi family pays attention to food and does not speak. It's the same as many people.
It's just that when they were at home, Jiang Shu's family was in harmony.
Therefore, when Marquis Jiang eats in one room, he does not pay attention to these false etiquette, and the family eats around the table, which is very harmonious.
It's like today's lunch.
Jiang Shu, who was used to laughing with her second brother Jiang Rui, was not used to such a cold meal when she first came.
It's just that now I know the true face of the Qi family, although I have to contact them if I am wronged, it is always easy to be less perfunctory.
I actually think that this rule also has some merits.
After the dishes were served, the three of them dined quietly, and the maids and maids served their masters.
Although Jiang's family had a lively meal, Jiang Shu's etiquette was excellent.
After a meal, the sound of collision between the bowls and chopsticks came from Jiang Shu's side.
There was something in her stomach, and Jiang Shu put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Although there is a lot of food on this table, the taste in Jiang Shu's mouth is average.
That is, the craftsmanship of ordinary restaurants in Beijing.
Old Lady Qi placed newcomers everywhere in Qi Mansion, Jiang Shu knew.
But they open one eye and close one eye.
Every time Old Lady Qi entered someone, she asked Bai Su to withdraw the people from the Jiang Mansion and receive them from Tinglan Garden, and she didn't bother to collect them.
Although Qi Xuan and Mrs. Qi are not the masters of the Jiang Mansion, they have married into the Qi Mansion.
Then the children of the Jiang family will take care of the lives of the people in the Qi Mansion.
These subordinates who have been trained by the grandmothers of Jiang Mansion do things in a way that cannot be bought by casually looking for a woman outside.
In her previous life, the old lady Qi knew the goodness of these people under Jiang Shu's careful care, and even if she took away Jiang Shu's rights, she continued to keep these people to serve until the newcomers in the mansion learned these skills.
watched Jiang Shu finish eating.
Mrs. Qi ordered someone to serve tea soup to Jiang Shu to rinse her mouth: "Why did Shu'er only eat so much, is the dish not to taste?" ”
Old Lady Qi was a little unhappy in her heart, and in order to calm Jiang Shu, who came back from Jiang Mansion, she worked hard to prepare dinner.
In addition to the chefs of Qi Mansion who took out their housekeeping skills, they also invited several hotel chefs to help, although the Qi family is not as noble as the Jiang family, but the momentum cannot be lost.
"The food is very kind, but Shu'er's health is not very good, so her appetite is not good, and I hope the old lady will forgive me." Jiang Shu replied properly, seeing the people of the Jiang family today, Jiang Shu was in a happy mood, and she didn't want to worry about these small things with the people of the Qi family.
"You are weak, you have to take good care of it, you have to give birth to the eldest son and grandson for the Qi family, and spread the branches." Mrs. Qi thought that Jiang Shu and Qi Xuan lived separately, so she felt awkward, where is there a newlywed wife who does not pester her husband.
Since Qi Xuan covered her up, he personally knocked and beat, after all, it was about the heirs, and no one could find fault with her.
The eldest son and grandson, hum!
The expression on Jiang Shu's face was a little unbearable, the people of the Qi family were really shameless.
Their eldest son, Brother Fu'er, is not already born, and Mrs. Qi is like a baby pimple.
It seems that they have perfected the ability to open their eyes and speak nonsense.
Mrs. Qi loves her male grandson, and so does Qi Xuan.
But no matter how proud Qi Xuan was in his previous life, how many concubines he accepted openly and secretly, he never gave birth to a boy, all of them were daughters.
That's why the Qi family attaches so much importance to the Liu family.
In her previous life, Jiang Shu only felt that she was blessed and couldn't give birth to a son, but she was also in pain with her daughter.
Now that she thinks about it, things seem a little strange, and her intuition tells her that if she investigates carefully, she may be able to use one or two.
"Shu'er has always been frail, otherwise as a daughter-in-law, she would not care about family affairs. When I returned home today, my mother also reprimanded Shu'er, saying that Shu'er was not sensible. Let Shu'er take good care of her body and take charge of the housework quickly, without bothering the old lady to be sad. Pan'er's death was a pain in Jiang Shu's heart.
Since Mrs. Qi pointed at Jiang Shu's sore spot so unsightly, Jiang Shu naturally wouldn't be as easy to talk as before.
This is the teaching of the county lord of Changmin, which made Jiang Shu regret it and want to take back the right to be a steward! Old Madam Qi was shocked.
The first taste of power and wealth is the most addictive, how can she be willing to hand it over.
"Tinglan Yuan is clean, and Shu'er is easy to deal with by herself. If you want to take care of the master, Shu'er is afraid that she will have to know a lot about the good master who can take care of the whole house. Jiang Shu said coldly.
"Since you are weak, you can slowly recuperate in Tinglan Garden, let Xuan'er continue to live in the study, so as not to disturb your rest." Old Lady Qi said. She cares more about her own interests than spreading the branches, after all, the Liu family has already given birth to Brother Fu'er.
Qi Xuan: "......"
Qi Bin's daughter-in-law has also just given birth.
Jiang Shu is not born, and some people are scattered for the Qi family.
In the future, this little girl understands the pain of not having an heir, don't regret it.
"Shu'er knows." Jiang Shu said, looking cold.
The old lady Qi was even more disdainful in her heart, in her previous life, the Qi family's mother and son were filial piety, and they were all pretended.
However, Jiang Shu can also guess Mrs. Qi's thoughts, Brother Fu'er has been born, Qi Bin's child is about to be born, in Mrs. Qi's opinion, the Qi family is not short of heirs.
The room fell silent, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"The little sister will be here soon, and my mother will have someone to accompany me." Qi Xuan saw the displeasure of the old lady Qi and diverted the topic.
"Yes, I sent someone to my hometown to pick up Bin'er and Qin'er a few days ago, and now it's time to arrive." Thinking of her own pair of children, Mrs. Qi's face softened a lot.
"The next person came to report that my brother and daughter-in-law were about to give birth, and it was inconvenient to move. This baby is afraid that it is a male fetus, so Brother Bin asked people to send a message that Qin'er came to Chang'an first, and after her brother-in-law gave birth safely, their family was rushing to Chang'an. Qi Xuan said.
Old Mrs. Qi also knew the news, nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's more important to give birth to my big fat grandson safely." ”
Mrs. Qi gave birth to a total of three children, two boys and one girl, namely the eldest son Qi Xuan, the second son Qi Bin and the younger daughter Qi Qin.
Qi Xuan and Qi Bin are both married, and only this Qi Qin is still unmarried, so Mrs. Qi asked her to be brought in early, in order to marry a good marriage in Chang'an.
"Mama Feng, you go and clean up the Yingchun Pavilion, and Miss Yingsan will live in the future." After Mrs. Qi finished instructing Mama Feng, she looked at Jiang Shu and said, "Mama Feng and I are both old, and we don't know the preferences of our daughter's family. ”
"You are young, Bai Su is also the same age as Qin'er, and young people's tastes are always similar. Why don't you let Bai Su and Mama Feng clean up the Spring Pavilion together, and the decorations that come out like this are more in line with Qin'er's wishes. ”
"I think Fluttershy is about the same age as the three girls, and the old lady should give it to Fluttershy, so the three girls will be happy. Bai Su also has to take care of his daughter-in-law to take medicine, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull away. Jiang Shu didn't even think about rejecting Mrs. Qi's reason.
