Chapter 213 is in a dilemma
Although Fu didn't quite understand Jin Zhao's approach and didn't approve of this family business, Jin Zhao still went to Yinghua Pavilion to ask for peace as always.
In her previous life, because she insisted on marrying Yu Wenyu, this matter made a big fuss, and she turned her face with Fu Shi because of this, so in this matter, Jin Zhao was cautious and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.
Jin Zhao asked Fu Shi for peace, sat next to Fu Shi, and tried to talk to her.
"Mother, this is a mung bean cake made by her daughter, you can taste it, it's still hot right now." As she spoke, she pushed the mung bean cake in front of Fu Shi.
Fu's expression moved slightly, he looked up at the mung bean cake in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You have a heart."
After speaking, he didn't mean to taste the dim sum.
Su Jinzhao pursed his lips, although he was a little low, compared to avoiding her in his previous life, no matter what, at least his mother is still willing to talk to her now, which is enough. For the rest, she had to work harder.
Tong's mother saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and knew that Fu Shi was a person who couldn't pull down. At the beginning, he was resolute in Fu Ye's affairs, and he refused to give in at all, but now the saint has made a holy decree, and with this holy decree, even if Fu Shi is unwilling, he will not say anything. After all, the Su family could not afford the charge of disobeying the holy decree. Knowing this, Fu undoubtedly acquiesced in the matter.
Thinking of this, Tong's mother said out loud: "Madam, the slave remembers that you like to eat mung bean cake the most, and it is rare that the eldest lady still remembers, for the sake of her filial piety, why don't you taste it and see if it suits your taste?"
Tong's mother has loved her since she was a child, and now she is risking being blamed by the Fu family to help her speak, which is beyond the affection of the master and servant.
Jin Zhao even remembered that in her previous life, Tong's mother couldn't bear to see her and her mother stiff, and spoke for her in front of Fu Shi many times, and finally annoyed Fu Shi and punished her for kneeling in the courtyard for a long time.
Tong's mother is an old man in the house, and her subordinates are all respectful and polite in private, and the fact that she was punished by the Fu family for kneeling hurt not only the feelings of the master and servant, but also the face of Tong's mother.
Thinking of this, Jin Zhao's mood was a little complicated, she was about to open her mouth, only to see Fu Shi reach out and take a piece of mung bean cake and taste it.
Seeing this, Tong's mother smiled on her face: "Madam, how does it taste?"
Fu Shi didn't comment on the mung bean cake, pointed at her, and said, "You can also try it."
As he spoke, he saw that Fu Shi did not put the mung bean cake back, but ate it again.
Seeing this scene, Tong's mother smiled and said: "This is specially made by the eldest lady for you, the slave doesn't dare to taste it at will, this is not in accordance with the rules."
There is a difference between the lord and the servant, even if she has served by her mother's side for most of her life, she has always adhered to the rules of the house, and the deer dare not exceed it in the slightest.
Fu Shi listened to her, but she was a little unhappy, she said: "What's not in order, you have watched her grow up since you were a child, and you have taken care of her everywhere, can't you taste a piece of dim sum."
This is an affirmation of Tong's mother's loyalty over the years.
Jin Zhao comprehended, and hurriedly brought the mung bean cake to Tong's mother, and motioned to her: "Mother is very right, Tong's mother, you don't have to excuse yourself, I'm still waiting for you to give some suggestions for improvement."
When it comes to this, it seems a bit hypocritical to say anything more. So Tong's mother took a piece of mung bean cake and tasted it.
Casually, Jin Zhao asked her tentatively, "How?"
Probably delicious, Tong's mother couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and praised her: "The eldest lady's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and this mung bean cake is even better than that of the slave."
Mother Tong didn't say this to compliment her master, she really thought that the mung bean cake made by Jin Zhao was delicious.
was praised by Tong's mother like this, but Jin Zhao was a little embarrassed: "It's good if you like it."
Tong's mother nodded: "Such a good craft, I naturally like it." As he spoke, he looked at Fu Shi again and said, "The eldest lady has such good craftsmanship, and the lady will have a good mouth in the future." ”
Fu Shi didn't say anything, but Jin Zhao was full of gratitude to Tong's mother.
As she was talking, Ximei entered the house with a solemn face.
"The slave has seen the lady and the eldest lady." Ximei respectfully saluted Fu and Jinzhao.
Fu Shi raised his hand to signal her to get up, Su Jinzhao looked at this girl and looked wrong, hesitated, and just wanted to ask, Fu Shi spoke up first: "Why did you come back so soon?"
Listening to this tone, it seems that there is something to do with Ximei.
Jin Zhao had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips and listened patiently on the side.
Fu asked, the maid Ximei naturally did not dare to slack off, and replied respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, the slave maid went to the embroidery room, originally wanted to see how the clothes were done, who knew that the steward was called by the second lady, and brought a lot of fabrics over, I heard that the second lady wanted to make a few new clothes, so I told Xia Fu to pass the word."
After hearing this, Fu Shi immediately frowned, and said with a displeased face: "Didn't the second miss just make new clothes a few days ago, why do you want to do it again?"
Ximei replied in a low voice: "The slave doesn't know." After a pause, he said, "The slave maid saw that the steward had gone to Rongxiu Courtyard, so she had to come back alone. ”
Indeed, Ximei is just a little maid, the master's thoughts, especially Su Jinling's thoughts, how could she know, Fu Shi asked this, obviously, she couldn't answer.
I didn't want to blame Mei for this matter, and I didn't want to blame her more, so Fu Shi said to her, "You go down first."
Ximei answered and exited the house.
After Ximei left, Fu said to Tong's mother: "Go back to the embroidery room, find the steward to ask about the situation, the fabrics used in each room are limited, and the unruly practices like the second lady should be managed, otherwise the people below will learn the same, what kind of system."
Fu Shi can't get used to Shen Manxin's mother and daughter, so he naturally won't turn a blind eye to Su Jinling's approach.
Without waiting for Tong's mother to speak, Jin Zhao opened his mouth first: "Mother, my daughter thinks that Jin Ling may have another reason to do this, I heard that she was not very satisfied with the new clothes made last time, maybe it is because of this that she asked the steward to bring the fabric over and choose it personally." It's just that I made a few more new clothes, send someone over to say it, and pay attention next time, there is no need to make things bigger. Besides, my father is busy with official business, and it is not good if he is worried about this matter. Mother doesn't want my father to be caught in the middle. ”
made Su Jiannan embarrassed, and Fu naturally didn't want such a thing to happen. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have agreed to Shen Manxin's entry into the door at the beginning, and he wouldn't have tolerated it for so many years.
Fu Shi looked up at Su Jinzhao and said, "Why did you speak for her?" Have you forgotten what her mother said to me, how can you speak for Shen Manxin's daughter? Outside it is said that the relationship between the two sisters of the Su family is very good, originally I just heard about it, but today I heard you say this in person, but I didn't expect it to be true, you disappointed my mother too much. ”
