Chapter 21: The Second Room Plans
The family of three in Qingcui Courtyard was still calmly talking about what happened in the second room, and they also had a warm dinner.
Geng Wen's first meal when he returned home was naturally not all about eating in the big kitchen, which was comparable to boiling, and he couldn't find a few grains of mussels after carefully rummaging.
On weekdays, if any master in the house doesn't want to eat the dishes of the big kitchen, it is generally to buy good dishes for the people who buy the kitchen for the silver, and let the cook make it, and rarely buy cooked food back.
Since there is food, it stands to reason that it is natural to honor the elders, so in the first few times the big room added food, whether it was Geng Wen or Ruan's, they would send one to Yide Yuan and the main courtyard.
It's a coincidence, it's also unfortunate, when I went, I caught up with the main meal.
Then there was the embarrassing moment, because whether it was the main courtyard or the Yide courtyard, the meals on the table were obviously much richer, and even the ones they specially paid for the kitchen to make were not as good as the color and flavor of the Yide Yuan and the main courtyard.
After Uncle and Mrs. Anping and Geng Wen Ruan, who went to deliver the food in person, looked at each other awkwardly, Geng Wen and Ruan barely maintained the calmness on their faces, said a few words, and left.
But even if I saw Geng Xun and Xia's meal with my own eyes than I thought, it was much better than what Xia often complained about in front of his daughter-in-law.
Then at a certain time, Xia said: "In the future, each room will either let the kitchen cook another meal, or buy good food directly from outside, so you don't need to send it to me and your father, we are old, our teeth are not good, we can't eat well, not to mention that we often send heavy weights, where can we finish eating, and finally let the people in the courtyard eat, in this way, the people eat better than the master, where is such a reason."
This means that the food that Geng Wen and Ruan saw when they went to deliver the food was not the daily meal of the main courtyard, but because the second or third room had already delivered the food first.
These words can only make Xia's own embarrassment less.
For their big house, Uncle and Mrs. Uncle occupy the name of the elders, even if they directly say that the daily meal is like that, Geng Wen and the Ruan family are helpless.
Such an extra move seems to be empty-hearted.
But it's okay, you don't have to deliver food in the future.
"The roast chicken this time tastes good, it is more fragrant than the previous Li Kee Restaurant, this is not Li Kee Restaurant, right?"
Geng Wen ate a piece of roast chicken and praised.
"The roast chicken and lo-mei were bought from Ruyi Lou."
Geng Xingshuang felt that she couldn't lose her mouth again, she once thought about building a small kitchen in Qingcui Courtyard, but it was a pity that there were no people in their Qingcui Courtyard who were good at kitchen work, even if they spent money to build a small kitchen and bought good ingredients, the things they made were probably not as good as those sent from the big kitchen, so they didn't bother with this god.
Now you can buy what you want to eat directly, and you can also taste a variety of different flavors of food in different restaurants and even food stalls.
"Ruyilou, I've eaten his roast chicken before, it's not like this."
Geng Wen reminisced about the Ruyilou roast chicken he had once eaten.
"I heard that they have hired a new chef, and the chef is best at making roast chicken, which tastes better than the previous one, but the price is average."
This is what Zhu Yan said in the letter a few days ago, that is also a love of food, although the food of the Zhenguo Mansion is expensive and delicious, and the variety is complete, but Zhu Yan still wants to eat something outside from time to time, according to her words, the same ingredients, the same cooking method, what is made outside is different from what the kitchen of the Guogong Mansion does.
Because Geng Wen came back, he deliberately bought vegetables from outside and added food, and tonight's dinner in Qingcui Courtyard was considered very late.
But what Geng Xingshuang didn't know was that the dinner in Yinghe Courtyard was even later, and their family of three had already eaten dinner, and when they walked around the courtyard to eat, the owner of Yinghe Courtyard didn't have the heart to eat dinner.
Even if it is the dining table of Geng Cheng and Yao's main house, as well as Geng Xingbing's dining table, or even the meals on the dining table of Aunt Peng and the fourth girl Geng Xingyu in the side courtyard, as well as the mother and son of the fifth young master Geng Shuxian, they are far more sumptuous than the meals sent to Qingcui Courtyard and Wutong Courtyard in the big kitchen on weekdays, and they don't seem to be able to arouse the appetite of the masters.
Geng Cheng went to the government at a normal time today, and his colleagues asked him to go to dinner, but he politely declined, and after coming back, he went to the main courtyard first, and talked to Mrs. Bo for nearly two quarters of an hour before returning to the Lotus Courtyard.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Yao sitting at the dining table waiting for him, and when he entered the house, he did not get up to serve as before, and his attitude was very cold.
"What's wrong with you?" Geng Cheng's tone was a little impatient.
"What's wrong with me? I also want to ask the master, what should I do to be right, there was such a big incident yesterday, the master doesn't remember, or does he think it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of multiple daughters having an extra pair of chopsticks? ”
After this day's relief, Yao's state of mind has been much calmer than when he first found out last night.
She has even made up her mind not to quarrel with her husband for this matter, it is useless to quarrel, who her husband is, and she has been married to him for more than 20 years, she has already seen it clearly.
Now there is no need to be angry about the things he has done that are not on the table, it is really not cost-effective to be angry and his body is broken, it has no effect on him, maybe people are still happy, and they feel that they are the best to be angry, so he can marry a young and beautiful person again.
I don't know when, I suddenly figured it out, he went to Aunt Peng's house a few times a month, and went to Ni's Zhang family a few times, she didn't care anymore, she was only willing to guard her own pair of children, keep her son's dowry, her daughter's dowry, and her own pension money to live comfortably.
Why can't you help it?
The reason is that the matter of sinking is not just a matter of having an extra concubine, which involves the interests of the second room as a whole.
"Isn't this caused by your daughter? Otherwise......"
"Otherwise, even if you know about the existence of the sinking water, you will treat it as if you don't know, and finally let her go to such a place?"
Geng Cheng didn't speak, he just complained about Yao's words, and he knew in his heart that even his daughter knew about it, and maybe it would be spread outside one day.
If it is known that he sold his own daughter, and finally let him fall into the land of fireworks, he will be the first official.
"I'm telling you, my daughter is saving you and saving our uncle."
"Okay, I understand it in my heart, I also know what you're worried about, I just went to find my mother, then Liu Ergongzi's preference is not single, since there is no maid in the house to change that kind of training, then it should be okay to send a concubine in the past."
"Concubine? Liu Ergongzi still lacks concubines? Yao's pout, if Liu Ergongzi is so easy to deal with, where do they need to spend so much trouble.
