Chapter 8 Witty as I am
Huaizhu wanted to persuade again, so I pretended to stare back.
I knew she cared about me and for my good. In ancient times, a woman had three obedience and four virtues, obeying her father at home, marrying from her husband, and following her husband to her son when she died.
It's not something I can turn around in a few words, so I try not to get entangled with her on this kind of topic.
Seeing that it is almost dark, the snow has not stopped.
I turned to Huaizhu and asked, "This kind of weather is the most suitable for shabu-shabu, do you have utensils and materials in the kitchen?" ”
Huaizhu thought for a while: "According to the mothers of the kitchens, there are several chickens, ducks, cows and sheep slaughtered in the kitchen, all of which are New Year's goods given by the emperor to Xiangye, and they are still there." ”
I asked her, "Are there other officials too?" ”
Huaizhu nodded: "According to the official rank, our Xiangye is high and powerful, so naturally there are more." ”
I rolled my eyes and asked her, "Do you want to eat something delicious?" ”
"Yes!" Huaizhu blurted out, and then frowned sadly: "Since the last time I accompanied the young lady to eat a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas, I was beaten when I came back, and this time the slave and maid would never dare." ”
I rolled over from the couch and walked out: "Then I'll see for myself." ”
Huaizhu was worried that I would cause trouble again, so she picked up her cloak and followed me step by step, and persuaded me again and again: "Miss, forget it, it's almost time to start dinner anyway." ”
"I'm here, what are you afraid of. Besides, the dishes in the Prime Minister's Mansion have been too bad recently, and they are about to teach people to fade out of their mouths. ”
"Miss, how do you learn to swear, let the master know that the slave and maid are going to be beaten again."
Phew! Never mind! I won't say it! Anyway, the mother-in-law in the back kitchen must be tired, and I don't feel at ease when I send Huaizhu to collect materials alone, so I decided to go with her.
Huaizhu couldn't hold me, so he had to put his cloak on me.
I had just entered the backyard with her, and before I had even entered the kitchen, I smelled the aroma.
I asked Huaizhu, "What is so fragrant?" ”
Huaizhu thought for a while: "It should be chicken soup?" ”
I estimated the hour, there was still half an hour before the unitary hour, so the meal was started so early?
As a result, the people in the kitchen heard the movement, trotted out when they heard the noise, and wiped their mouths as they ran.
I'm even more suspicious, I just eat, why are I still hiding?
The person who came was Mother Lin from the house, and when she saw my suspicious eyes, her face changed in fright, and she knelt on the ground with snow on the ground, not daring to speak.
I know that Mother Lin is taking care of Dai Shishi, and Liu Huai'an has not come back at this point, but they are hiding in the backyard to open a small stove.
Huaizhu also understood, and said to Mother Lin: "Go and call a few people inside." ”
Mother Lin hurriedly stopped: "No one, no one." ”
I asked Huaizhu to go in and take a look, but there was really no one inside.
I stood still, knowing that this was a habitual offender, and would never dare to do it without anyone to support me, and said with the same face as usual: "If you tell me who sent you to do this, I will not be guilty of the past." ”
Mother Lin blurted out without hesitation: "It's Aunt Dai...... No, it was ordered by Miss Dai, she asked the little one to kill a chicken for her every afternoon to make up for her body, and wanted to add a big fat boy to Xiangye as soon as possible. ”
"When each chicken is stewed, she will take the best part of the whole chicken, and give the rest to the small one."
I asked her, "Does Xiangye know about this?" ”
Mother Lin shook her head timidly.
"How many chickens did Xiangye bring back?"
"Back to Madame's words, twenty."
"How many did she eat?"
"Six."
I instantly felt a little interesting, I didn't expect Liu Huai'an to bring back not only a fox spirit, but also a weasel, if it wasn't for my temporary intention to come over and take a look, I'm afraid I don't know if I'm empty.
At that time, when it really came to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, I couldn't take out so many chickens, and it was me who was scolded, saying that I would not keep the house, and it was still me who said that I would not run the house, and she fished it out, and I carried all the pots.
How can there be such a good thing? Since she dares to hold her aunt in front of her subordinates, I will fulfill her.
I went back to the front hall and sat down, and motioned to Mother Lin: "You go and call Miss Dai and say that I have something to do with her." ”
Mother Lin did as I said nervously.
She was worried that I would either kick her out or beat her to death if I caught her this time, so she did as I was told.
When Dai Shishi learned that I knew the news that she had opened a small stove, she was also frightened, but she pretended to be calm and walked towards me.
I put down the half-drunk tea and said calmly, "Miss Shishi sit." ”
Dai Shishi sat opposite me, not daring to be presumptuous in front of me, after all, Liu Huai'an was not there, she couldn't do it, and she was not favored during this time, and she was worried that I would send her out, so she was honest.
After she sat down, I said, "Miss Shishi has also lived in the Xiangfu for half a year, and I think our Xiangfu has also done its best." ”
After hearing that something was wrong, Dai Shishi thought that I was going to pick her up, so she quickly knelt on the ground, walked towards me and hugged my calves with tears in her eyes: "It's my sister who is wrong, please punish my sister!" ”
I looked at her calmly: "Then you tell me, what did you do wrong?" ”
Dai Shishi was a little in a trance, with a delicate face, pear blossoms with rain, I could see pity.
She hesitated, but resigned: "I ...... I shouldn't have ......"
I continued to stare at her without speaking.
Dai Shishi continued: "I shouldn't worry about things that don't belong to me.......
I sighed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with my fingertips: "You don't think I blame you for eating a few more chickens, do you?" ”
Dai Shishi froze in place, at a loss: "Sister means ......"
"Women should have plans, money, fame, status, and men's love, these are all right, do you know what your biggest mistake is?" I asked Dai Shishi.
Dai Shishi was already confused, and she didn't know what I was going to do.
I continued to follow the good path: "Your biggest mistake is not firmly grasping Liu Huai'an's heart, do you think you can tie him up with a child?" It's a big mistake, relying on your unique charm as a prostitute in the capital. ”
"Look at your overeating, every chicken has become fat every day, your face is bigger, your waist is round, and your legs are thicker, are you sure that you can still save Xiangye's heart in your current state?"
Dai Shishi's tears fell down like pearls with broken threads, and she was moved and took my hand and said: "I didn't expect my sister to be so gentle and generous, not only regardless of her previous suspicions, but also to give her sister some advice." ”
I struck while the iron was hot, and instructed Huaizhu to take out a wooden box and hand it to her: "This is what I tailor-made for the poetry girl in Jinxiuzhai, with the blessing of this feather coat, the poetry girl will be able to get twice the result with half the effort." ”
It wasn't until Dai Shishi left gratefully holding the wooden box that Huaizhu came back to her senses and cried at me: "Miss, I thought that such a beautiful and expensive belly pocket was kept by Miss herself to please Xiangye, but I didn't expect you to give it to that vixen for nothing, it's a tyrannical thing!" ”
I couldn't stop sneering, I don't need this kind of Rausch thing to make men happy.
What's more, this move not only calmed down the loss of the back kitchen, but also successfully PUA Dai Shishi worked hard to please Liu Huai'an, if she herself is smart enough and successfully climbs to the position of a concubine, am I still worried that no one will dump the pot.
As long as they don't focus their fire on me, I'm happy to eat and wait for death in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, I want to leave now, I can't leave, I want to go back, but I can't go back, what can I do.
When I think of this, I am impressed by my deep understanding of righteousness.
Next, Huaizhu and I prepared a delicious shabu-shabu.
