Chapter 3 The White Lotus debuts
Mama Cai and Mama Qi strategized and sent Jintong to marry the most reliable secret investigation of the slaves of the Hou Mansion, who is the duty? What is the ability of character?
On the sixth day of the lady's marriage, the seventh master went to fight in southern Xinjiang, and the seventh master just left, and on the tenth day, the lady was injured by Shen Miaolian's plot to fall into the water! They also secretly calculated that they went to check later, but there was no trace of it. In this mansion, Shen Miaolian's small concubines are actually covering the sky with one hand like this.
If it weren't for Su Bai Danzhu jumping into the water for the first time and holding his wife to the surface first, he was injured and choked on the water, it is estimated that he would have killed his wife!
Su Bai just didn't understand the water and choked on water, and now it's still burning in a mess!
Now that Madame has cheered up, she must find out all about the Houfu, only by knowing herself and knowing her opponent, Madame can survive a hundred battles!
Mama Cai arranged the generals of the army, reasonably arranged Jintong to marry everyone, showed off her power openly, and secretly understood everything that could be found.
She herself used the excuse of selecting fine ingredients for Jintong to stew and replenish the soup for several days, and swaggered around the kitchen, picking and choosing!
Mama Zeng, the housekeeper of the dining room, had to quarrel with her almost every time, and muttered behind her back that Mama Cai was a fox and a fake tiger.
On this day, the two of them quarreled in the dining room again, and Mama Cai pointed at Mama Zeng's nose and scolded: "You old thing!" If it weren't for the fact that the food delivered from the dining room was not fresh, it caused my wife to have diarrhea? How can I come and pick the ingredients myself? But you're still pushing back every day! What's wrong? Which rule of the house was violated? Besides, now that Madame is sick and needs to make up for it, I should take more! ”
"Who are you slandering with red mouth and white teeth? The dining room is responsible for all the three meals a day in the house, and no one has ever had any problems eating. Besides, everyone in the house has their own share, although the lady is a housewife, you can't take as much as you want! "Mama Zeng has the support of Aunt Shen, and her arrogance has always been extremely arrogant.
"Yo! Mama Zeng, is this trying to get past Madame? Do you know that Madame is a housewife? ”
"Mrs. Cai, don't talk nonsense!"
The two of them quarreled and began to move, and a few faceless housekeepers and cooks in the kitchen persuaded them sincerely or falsely until Wu An rushed over.
Mama Zeng immediately complained to Wu An with great grievances: "Butler Wu, it's all messed up!" Mama Cai in the lady's room has to come to the dining room every day to get things by herself, and she exceeds the quota every day! This, how do we do things in the dining room? ”
Mama Cai crossed her hands on her chest, only sneered and looked at Wu An without saying a word, she wanted to see: Who is in charge of this Hou Mansion?
"Don't fight privately in the house! Madame can get whatever she wants, just register it in the dining room. Besides, Mrs. was recuperating from her injuries in bed, so she explained that the dining room did not need to deliver food, and that the small kitchen of Yanbo Haomiao Xuan was responsible for it every day. Mama Cai came to receive the ingredients, which is reasonable! Wu An made the final decision.
Mama Cai saluted Wu An: "Thank you, Steward Wu!" ”
Mama Zeng didn't dare to disobey Wu An, so she simply excused herself and left.
Mama Cai secretly scolded in her heart, "Stupid! ”。 Then she walked into the food warehouse, and the dining room managed all the food in the house, and it was also the place where people were most likely to be manipulated, and she had to take a good look at it.
When Wu An's family saw Wu An's quiet look, they immediately followed in, and they were very attentive: "Look, Mama Cai, this is a high-grade blood swallow, Mama Zeng went to the big warehouse to bring it over to make up for Mrs. Cai's body, and it is ten catties!" ”
Mama Cai glanced at the blood swallow that Wu'an's special turned out from the bottom of the back of a large pile of dry goods boxes, and knew it!
Mrs. raises two taels of blood swallows a day, and these ten catties are enough to eat for more than two months. Besides, since Mrs. fell into the water, they were afraid that Aunt Shen would make a ghost in her diet, and the supplements were all sent by Mrs. Marrying or Jinyu, and the daily diet was also made from the dining room with materials from the small kitchen, and this blood swallow had never heard Mama Zeng mention it.
Mama Cai knows the share of everyone in the house: the Hou Mansion has always been kind to people, Aunt Shen and Sister Fang are six vegetarians, six meat and two soups per meal, and there are eight pastries that can be used as snacks every day.
There are decent grandmothers and maids in charge of the big and small, four vegetarian and two meat and one soup, and the rest are two vegetarian and one soup, and there is only one meat the next day.
What is more special is the torture room, because all the people in the torture room are men in the prime of life, plus they practice martial arts every day, and they eat a lot, so the torture room must get at least two whole pigs every day.
And Chef Li, who is in charge of the spoon, "unintentionally" mentioned to her a few days ago that there are 50 pigs, 50 sheep and nearly 100 poultry of various kinds every day in the house these days, which is enough for them to become tigers!

Mama Qi chose a sunny day, led the two little guys, and went to the warehouse to find the steward Mama Jiang.
"Madame was disgusted by the red sandalwood landscape screen in the room, and looked dead, and Sister Jiang helped to see if the color of the bright hall was more festive."
Mama Jiang led Mama Qi into the warehouse where the large items were hidden, asked a few maids to help uncover the tarpaulin that protected the things, pointed to a few screens of various materials and said, "I don't know what the old slave likes Madame, so I'm bothering Sister Qi to pick it herself."
Mama Qi carefully looked at the comparison, and Mama Jiang carefully accompanied the explanation beside her.
In the end, Mama Qi picked a green plum Su embroidery screen, and Mama Jiang immediately called two little girls to lift the screen out, and asked two little girls to take a duster and muslin, and cleaned the screen with light hands and feet, so that Mama Qi signed and rolled out of the warehouse.
Mama Qi stopped by the flower room and asked Mama Liu, who was in charge of flowers and plants, to help pick a few plates of flowers. Are there any taboos? Then he personally picked eight plates of various flowers, and led a few subordinates to send them to Yanbo Haomiaoxuan.
On the way, Mama Qi took the initiative to chat with Mama Liu, and talked quietly.
Mama Liu also wanted to know more about Madame, after all, Jintong was a serious housewife, and if she knew more about her preferences, she could also please her, and make fewer mistakes!
So the two of them talked and laughed all the way to Yanbo Haomiaoxuan.
Mama Qi commanded everyone to change the furnishings lightly, and Mama Liu went to the inner room to explain to Jintong in person: "Madam, Mama Qi said that you like flowers with bright colors and strong flavors, but the old slave thought, you are not feeling well now, and you are still using medicine, this flower smell is too strong for fear of colliding with the smell of medicine and smelling uncomfortable, so I prepared four plates of green plants, some of which are slightly fragrant and fragrant, and it is best to place them in the inner room." The other two pots of yellow quercus are two plates of Ruixiang, which are rich in fragrance, so can they be placed in the outhouse?"
Lin Jiatong leaned on the edge of the bed and bowed slightly: "Mama bothered, reward!"
Mama Liu saw that Jintong's face was white and weak, so she didn't dare to stay longer, so she hurriedly received the reward and retired.
Mama Qi watched secretly, the two little maids who moved the screen did not squint and only lowered their heads to work, two of the maids who moved the flowers quietly looked left and right, and one even had the audacity to sneak into the inner room to peek at Jintong.
——————
The main gate is guarded by at least four people every day, and if there is no pair of cards, you will definitely not be able to get out!
Dan Zhu gritted her teeth, held her head high and walked towards the side door, and a small servant immediately stopped her, "This sister stays." ”
Dan Zhu raised his head: "I am my wife's personal maid, and I want to go out of the house to buy things for my wife!" ”
"Trouble my sister and the general manager of Wuda, and you can go out only after taking a pair of cards!"
"To your sister! Can you afford to miss your wife? Danzhu made a shrewd posture, poked his fingers straight into the little girl's head, and scolded. But no matter how much she coerced and seduced, the little guy was so frightened that she burst into tears, but she just blocked the door and refused to let her go.
Danzhu really couldn't go on, so he threatened a few more words before going back.
She had to hurry back and inform Mama Qi and Mama Cai that the Hou Mansion was strictly in and out of the mansion and strictly guarded.
The maid who was married by Jintong, under the arrangement of Mama Qi and Mama Cai, deliberately arrogantly messed around in the house.
Most of the slaves in the house thought that Jintong was taking advantage of Aunt Shen's grounding by Mrs. Tai and deliberately connived at his subordinates to establish authority, most of them forbearance and did not dare to speak, and a few relied on friendship with Aunt Shen to secretly make stumbling blocks. There are even a few smart ones who secretly surrender to sincerity.
Although Mrs. Li in the dining room looks clumsy, her mind is transparent.
She thought that no matter what Jintong said, she was also the wife of Ming Media, the main mother of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, and the "Lady of Yipin" personally appointed by the Holy Lord, and it was inevitable to be loyal to her.
And no matter how favored Aunt Shen is, she is just a concubine, and she is definitely not a serious person if she is camping around in the mansion to make profits!
But the situation is stronger than people, the dining room steward Mama Zeng is Aunt Shen's confidant, and the things that the two of them did secretly, Mrs. Li is naturally powerless to stop it, but it is still possible to find a way to tell the people around Jintong.
She secretly observed for a long time, although the Wu'an family and Chef Liu, who usually seemed to be impartial, all seemed to lean towards Mrs. faintly, so she finally made up her mind.
Mama Qi passed by Liuyun Pavilion this day, and Mrs. Li, who had been hiding in the maple forest for a long time, rushed out and dragged Mama Qi straight into the forest: "Mama Qi is lenient and lenient, this matter is really too big for others to see." ”
Mama Qi was vigilant, and followed the old woman into the grove, and it was easy to stand still. But seeing Mrs. Li kneeling down directly, Mama Qi became more and more full of doubts, and even forgot to help people up.
"Mama Qi, the old slave is the rough servant of the dining room, Mrs. Li, and there is a problem with the water that Mrs. drinks every day!" Mrs. Li got straight to the point: "The water used in the house is all mountain spring water transported from Qifeng Mountain, the mountain spring water is sweet, and it tastes very good when used to make soup, cook rice, and make tea, but the water is cold, and drinking too much will cause diarrhea." The dining room here is soaked in ginger leaves for a day before daring to use it. And the water for the lady is another soaked banana leaves, which are also cold things! The cold is on top of the cold, and the impact on the lady's body is greater. The grandson of the old slave is responsible for transporting the daily water in the house, and the grandmother Zeng in the dining room told them to bring banana leaves, so the old slave paid attention to it, and then found out. ”
Mama Qi was like being struck by thunder, and she was stunned!
She is quite skilled in medicine, and knows that if a woman eats cold things for a long time, it will be difficult to get pregnant, and even if she is pregnant, it will be difficult to keep it! This Aunt Shen is vicious and secretive, and she is so stupid that more than a dozen of them protect their wife every day without even noticing!
She forced herself to calm down and helped Mrs. Li up: "Sister Li, you go back to the dining room first, just as if this incident never happened, what should you do or what to do." Don't worry, you're faithful, I'll tell Madame!" ”
Mrs. Li thanked Mama Qi, and hid on the side of the road and walked back to the dining room.
Mama Qi slapped herself a few times, stupid! Idiot! She scolded herself again, and wasted her medical skills, and she actually hurt her wife under her nose! After spending another quarter of an hour in the maple forest, his mood calmed down and he walked out as if nothing had happened.
