"Originally, I didn't want to eat it, but I couldn't refuse when people wanted it.

Besides, it can be seen that Lao Hu's family is a very clean person, and her pastries are also very good-looking.

In fact, there are not many pastries, a total of seven or eight pieces, and I took Lao Hu and ate less. ”

He Yufen still felt a little reluctant to talk about this, of course they didn't care about a piece of pastry like them, but it was different for the Hu family.

I don't know how long it took me to make those pastries, and I asked my son to bring them to my husband.

She is a concubine, although she has never had to worry about food and clothing, she also knows that money is not easy to come by, and she has no chance to spend it at all.

Now that I am in charge of the house, I know better what a penny of money means to ordinary people.

It's that Hu Xiucai, although the clothes are all clean, and he dresses neatly every time he comes, but the materials are all shampooed, the white cuffs and neckline are also frayed, and I want to know that the Hu family is living in poverty.

She only sighed, but she didn't find the meaning in Ruan Jiaojiao's eyes when she looked at her.

Ruan Jiaojiao did not continue to talk about this topic, and when she talked to her about going to various houses to attend banquets after the New Year, He Yufen's attention was immediately diverted.

After she left, Ruan Jiaojiao asked Steward Jiang to come over and asked him, "How often does the son of the gardener Lao Hu come?" ”

Steward Jiang thought for a while and replied, "I've been here four or five times." ”

"Since when?"

Steward Jiang thought carefully, "In late September, I met him at the door and led him in. ”

That is, from late September to now, it has been four or five times in the past three months, and why has it not been seen for most of the previous six months?

It's not that Ruan Jiaojiao deliberately thinks people in bad places, and prudence is never wrong.

So he told Steward Jiang, "You will pay attention to him when he comes back in the future." ”

Although Steward Jiang didn't know why Madame ordered this, Madame just listened to what she ordered.

"Yes."

Cao Shi watched all the time, and only when only Madame and her were left in the room did she ask Madame tentatively.

"Madame, do you think that Hu Xiucai has ulterior motives?"

And this is not the fourth lady, thinking about the situation of the Hu family, although Lao Hu is a subordinate of the house, he only signed a work contract and did not sell himself.

Hu Xiucai is a scholar, and his future future is uncertain, but it is not impossible.

The appearance is also considered Zhouzheng, and he looks good.

The fourth lady is a concubine, it's not impossible, and when Hu Xiucai goes further, the Hu family's family will be different.

Listening to her words, Ruan Jiaojiao smiled, "Just wait and see." ”

She turned her head to look at Cao, the corners of her mouth were still smiling, and her voice was very soft.

"I didn't let her learn these things so that she could put them upside down for others in the future, and the feathered finches standing on the branches are never the same as the free-range chickens.

Some things are innate, and you can't just change them if you want to change them.

Although Yufen is a concubine, she is also a young lady who grew up in the He family's golden nest, and she feels delicious when she tastes the lotus root flour cake, and she can still feel delicious after eating it for a lifetime?

What's more, I don't even know how long it will take to eat that bite of lotus root flour cake. ”

Cao shut up, she knew she was wrong.

At this time, looking at the dazzling lady, she only felt that she was confessing, and she knew better how narrow her vision was.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't tell He Zong about this, with his temper, if he knew about the Hu family, he was afraid that even this year would not be good.

is a talented man anyway, and gives him some face, if you really want to say it, it's too ugly, and everyone has no light on their faces.

On the day of the New Year, when I got up, I saw that the whole family was busy, and He Zong couldn't even come back for lunch, saying that he was going to keep an eye on the patrol.

Also, the time of the New Year and the festival is often the time when things are the most.

In the middle of the afternoon, He Zong came back to pick her up, and the couple took a carriage to the palace.

In the carriage, Ruan Jiaojiao lifted the curtain and looked down at the street, there were not many people on the street at this time, most of the shops were closed, and the sparse pedestrians were also in a hurry.

After they arrived at the palace, they were led to different places by their subordinates, and there were many faces in the banquet hall, but they also soon met an acquaintance, Mrs. Jin.

It was no surprise to see Mrs. Jin today, and later met the Fang family.

Mrs. Jin held her hand very closely, "Is that bit of dark iron enough?" It's not enough for me to pay more attention. ”

Ruan Jiaojiao said that she wanted to use it for her younger brother, but she gave it to her younger brother and could ignore her husband, so Mrs. Yijin pondered that it might not be enough.

It was the wine that Ruan Jiaojiao gave her, and she ate people with a soft mouth.

Ruan Jiaojiao not only gave her fruit wine and flower wine, but also gave her gold and jade wine.

The wine is golden and translucent, with a mellow and fragrant aftertaste, and she can't drink much, but her husband and father say that it is a good wine, especially her father.

"Enough is enough, just two handles have been built, and Ruan Yu will be able to use them in the New Year, I will thank you for him first, Mrs.

Mrs. Jin gestured and patted her arm and smiled, "Then do I want to thank you for the wine?" My sister is polite. ”

Seeing that she really wanted to make a salute, Ruan Jiaojiao hurriedly pulled her.

And Fang Shi also accosted on the side, "Your wine is really delicious, I was ruined by Lao Fang just after I opened it, and I was stunned for two days before I drank it." ”

"Let's finish drinking, I still have a wine jar there, and I will have someone send you two jars to Ming'er."

This is the first batch, and there are more to come.

"How can you ask for your wine for nothing, you have to do business.

Speaking of which, when will your business start, and we can let go of it with peace of mind, right? ”

Fang was very arrogant, and it didn't matter if they were saying thank you or not before, anyway, she was resolute and couldn't drink in vain.

The princess was late, and everyone stepped forward to greet her, Ruan Jiaojiao thought she was going to kneel, but she didn't need to.

She stood with Fang's family, and if she didn't understand something, she would follow Fang's learning.

The princess was born really square and soft, she is the kind of real classical beauty, and her smile is just right.

I have to admit that what is innate is really different.

There are also two side concubines who came with the princess, both of whom are beautiful women, and they give people a sense of grace and luxury just by looking at them.

Later, when she sat in her position, she realized that she was not with the Fang clan, between Mrs. Jin and the Fang clan.

Of course, there are other people besides her in the middle.

This position is also exquisite, and the husband's official position is high, and the lady naturally sits close to the princess.

Madame Jin was the first to attack the princess's concubines, and she was five places away from Madame Jin, and the seventh position opposite was a lady she had never seen.

There were more than 20 ladies in the banquet room, plus the ladies brought by each family, and dozens of people who were waiting.

This scene is definitely not comparable to a small family like the Ruan family and the He family.

The gap is revealed at once.
