Chapter 24: Mother-in-law is jealous

Mengxi ordered someone to pick the purslane, wash it, and then put it in a pot of boiling water to blanch it, and wash off the dry liquid and chop it after taking it out. Heat the oil pot again, put in the green onion and stir-fry until fragrant, and finally put in purslane, add seasonings and fry well, then pour it into the cooked japonica rice porridge, cook lightly for a while, and then make purslane porridge. After tasting it, not only the taste is smooth and tender, but the taste is also exquisite, and he secretly said that his skills are getting better and better, and when he is taken off from the church in the future, he will simply go to open a porridge shop to eat rice.

Mengxi ordered people to use separate food boxes to serve them, and then with two plates of honey osmanthus cake, and sent someone to send it to the old lady and the eldest lady, so that the begonia leaves that had been cooked were added to the porridge, and boiled slightly, so that people could serve them, with four side dishes, two plates of honey osmanthus cake, and ordered people to take it all the way back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard.

Hongzhu lifted the curtain for the second grandmother, Mengxi stepped in, raised his eyes and saw that the old lady, the eldest lord, and the eldest lady were all there, the old lady was sitting on the soft collapse in front of the bed, the eldest lady and the two big maids stood behind the bookkeeper and the servant, and the eldest lady was sitting on the chair in front of the desk, and the old lady was talking to the second master, and the second master just nodded vigorously. Hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, stood aside at a regular distance, and motioned for the maid to put the meal on the table first.

It turned out that the eldest lady and the eldest lord had served the old lady for lunch, and were talking about Jun'er's illness, discussing whether Daqi had been visited by famous doctors and strange people in Daqi, and saw Xiao Xiang's maid come to report, and the second master saw that he was good, got up at noon and ate, and now he is very energetic.

The old lady and the others were all shocked when they heard this, and even the eldest lady was secretly surprised, how could they still sit still, and hurriedly came to Xiao Xiang Courtyard. Come in and see, the second master is really good, and he has recovered yesterday's spirit, the ancients were superstitious, and when they encounter things that they can't explain, they often rely on the gods, and the old lady and the eldest master have completely believed Mengxi's words at this time, and believe that she is the noble person in Jun'er's life. Seeing that Mengxi was dignified and elegant, his speech and demeanor were full of everyone's demeanor, and he was single-minded to Jun'er, and he had already decided that Mengxi was a rare good daughter-in-law, if he saw that Jun'er was fine, he remembered the grievances suffered by Xi'er in the morning, so he sat there and taught him a lesson, and even said that he was not sensible, why was he so nonsense, Xiao Jun nodded again and again while being careful, saying that he was wrong, let grandma, father, and mother worry, and hated Mengxi in his heart.

As he was talking, he saw Mengxi coming in, and asked with a smile: "Xi'er is back, what kind of porridge did Xi'er make?" The old lady saw the maid who followed behind her bring the food, so she asked.

"Back to the old lady, the granddaughter-in-law passed by the garden today, saw that the wild vegetables in the garden grew very well, and then remembered to make wild vegetable porridge, the granddaughter-in-law made a long-lived vegetable porridge today, and with honey osmanthus cake, this porridge has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, clearing heat and detoxifying, diuretic, it is very suitable for the second master to take it now, but this kind of long-lived vegetable is cold, not easy to take for a long time, the granddaughter-in-law is also trying to do it, and the taste is OK, so she sent someone to the old lady, and the eldest lady sent it over, if the old lady paid for the deliciousness, sent someone to tell the granddaughter-in-law, the granddaughter-in-law will often make it for you to eat in the future" Mengxi said softly to the old lady.

"Good! Good! Good! , or the granddaughter-in-law's filial piety, thinking about the old body in everything she does, it's really a rare filial piety"

The old lady nodded and said yes while listening, the more she looked at this granddaughter-in-law, the more satisfied she became.

The eldest lady listened to the old lady's words, her face instantly darkened, and she said secretly: "My daughter-in-law has married into your Xiao family, and she has not dared to relax for a moment when she wakes up in the morning and dusk for many years. ”

Thinking like this, I hated Mengxi a little bit in my heart, and I hated that I couldn't expel her from the Xiao Mansion immediately. stepped forward and said to the old lady:

"Old lady, Jun'er's meal is served, let's let Jun'er eat it while it's hot, it's not good if it's cold, Jun'er has just recovered from a long illness, her body is weak, and she is tired when she thinks about it"

"Okay, call the maid and put the table next to the bed, let Jun'er eat on the bed, Jun'er just recovers, don't toss" The old lady listened to the eldest lady's words, nodded and instructed the maid.

"Grandma, Jun'er just go down to the ground to eat, after lying down for a day, I feel that my body is a little numb, just go to the ground to move" Xiao Jun straightened up and said to the old lady.

"It's good to go down to the ground for a walk, and your body is tired after lying down for a long time, just be careful not to get tired"

"Just put the rice on the table, Hongzhu and Hongyu, I usually see that you are also a fine person, so I sent you to guard the second master, hoping that you can persuade your master in everything. Now that the second master is so nonsense, he has made such a big fuss, and he has to wait carefully in the future, and if there is any mistake, be careful about your skin, do you hear it?"

The old lady turned his head and lectured at Xiao Jun's two big girls, Hongyu and Hongzhu, and the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to respond. After the lecture, he got up with the hand of the servant, and with the support of the eldest lady, the group walked out of Xiao Jun's bedroom.

……

Mengxi opened her eyes, facing Xiao Jun's smiling face, carefully holding her, looking at the smile coming out of the phoenix eyes, facing the charming face, this second master smiled so good-looking, Mengxi, who has never had any immunity to beautiful men, was confused for a while, and looked at Xiao Jun with hazy eyes, she didn't know how tempting she was at this moment.

Xiao Jun's heart moved, and he asked softly, "Are you awake?"

Hearing Xiao Jun's voice, Mengxi suddenly woke up, only then did he remember where he was, and got up with a grunt:

"The second master woke up early, and the concubine overslept, so the concubine will serve the second master and dress"

Mengxi said, while reaching out to pick up the coat that was placed on the soft collapse last night, and when he moved, he found that half of his body was numb, recalling that last night, the second master slept too much during the day, and walked away at night, and when there were only two people left in the house, he was so stiff, the second master sat there and didn't say a word, she couldn't find a topic when she searched the stomach, and she didn't know that her previous cleverness had gone there, one on the bed, one underground, and the two of them sat opposite each other like this, silent.

Later, she simply gave the second master a foot massage, after pressing, saw that the second master closed his eyes, seemed to be asleep, then quietly blew the lamp, put down the bed curtain, climbed into the bed, pasted the wall, hated to stick to the wall like a painting, did not dare to move, at first I was very worried, but found that the second master had not moved, gradually let go, finally tired, unconsciously fell asleep.

Now that he was uncomfortable moving, Mengxi secretly said:

"There is still half a month to go in such days, it is really self-inflicted, and you can't live"

I sighed secretly in my heart for the next miserable dark days, I had already gotten out of bed here, although my body was numb, but I didn't dare to indulge in front of the second master, I couldn't bear it, I stepped forward to open the door, and called the red bead and red jade to come in and serve the second master.
