Chapter 52: A treatment
Du Sanniang and the Lian family's daughter-in-law left together and walked out of the courtyard. Fangjue felt cold sweat on her forehead. The Lian family's daughter-in-law wiped the sweat and said: "She is indeed the daughter of the general's family. She was obviously smiling and talking just now.
He was kind, but I was so timid that my legs felt weak."
"It's okay, okay, I just said that Aunt Xin is not a fussy person. Finally, this test was a close call. I hope they can be more careful in the future and don't make things impossible."
"I think your worries are in vain. You were in the kitchen in your first year? You don't know the virtues of our sisters-in-law? Today, Aunt Xin didn't say anything, so they will only get worse."
Du Sanniang thought about it, sighed, shook her head and said helplessly: "Then there is nothing we can do. Anyway, we can take care of them for a while. Let's do our best to take care of them. If we can't take care of them, just let them be."
The daughter-in-law of the Lian family smiled bitterly and said: "My sister, if we are so brave, how can we take care of you? That's all, we will do our best and leave the rest to fate."
As he spoke, he gradually went away.
Before I knew it, more than ten days had passed.
In the palace of Prince Duan, neither the concubine nor the princess likes the excitement, so they have long used the excuse of worshiping Buddha to avoid the morning and evening meditation of the juniors. It is only the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Everyone comes to Shouning Palace to pay their respects and chat and laugh for a while.
That's it.
As the wife of the Crown Prince, Mrs. Qin originally was supposed to bring several other aunts here to pay her respects. However, apart from dealing with errands in the first year, in the end, she didn’t even bother to deal with them anymore. Mrs. Qin has long been accustomed to it, and several aunts came and went.
On the contrary, paying respects to Mr. Liao was a top priority.
But these days, the team of aunts is not so neat.
Needless to say, Xin Nian was "arrogant due to favor". Aunt Gu barely survived, and she was still expected to pay her respects to Mr. Liao as usual? The fact that she didn't use a villain to prick her with an acupuncture and curse her was not because Aunt Gu was kind, but because she didn't dare.
But as an aunt, rules must still be established in the prince's palace. Fortunately, besides the Liao family, there is also a Qin family.
In the past, Mrs. Liao didn't care about the Crown Prince and she couldn't say anything. Now that Aunt Xin and Aunt Gu have gone to pay their respects to Mrs. Liao, Mrs. Liao can't even say anything.
Early that morning, Xin Nian and Aunt Gu came to Qin's room and saw her eating lotus seed soup. Aunt Gu smiled and said, "Madam Chang in the kitchen is really good at her craftsmanship. She can smell it even from such a distance."
You can smell the aroma of lotus seed soup."
Li Zhi held the plate and served tea to the two of them. At the same time, two plates of snacks and a bowl of lotus seed soup were placed in front of each person. Mrs. Qin then smiled and said, "You guys should try it too. It has been delivered from the kitchen in the past few days."
The food was not very appetizing, so I put it down after not eating much. However, my father has told me since I was little that breakfast is the most important of the three meals a day. It just so happens that there are some leftover ingredients from last year in the small kitchen, and they are all very good.
Damn it, I ordered them to make lotus seed soup. On the one hand, it will supplement the breakfast, and on the other hand, it will not be wasted."
Aunt Gu was a straightforward person, and she felt very relaxed and at ease in front of Qin and Xin Nian, so she picked up the bowl of lotus seed soup, took two bites, and kept praising her.
To be fair, this lotus seed soup is really well made, especially the big red dates, which are soft and sweet, and paired with the thick white fungus and lotus seeds, it is really refreshing and pleasant.
After the two of them finished eating, while the three of them were drinking tea, Aunt Gu complained: "I also said that those snobs in the kitchen only gave me eye drops. It turned out that they didn't even let the madam go. Sister Xin, what are you doing?"
How’s the side?”
Xin Nian was deep in thought. When he heard this, he pondered: "Aren't the meals of Madam and Auntie good? Although our courtyard can't compare with before, there are still two bowls of meat dishes."
“Who doesn’t have meat dishes?”
Aunt Gu waved the fan in her hand and said angrily: "You also have to look at what's in the bowl for meat dishes. Ever since grandma recovered from her illness, I haven't seen serious meat on the table. They're all pork liver, lungs, and intestines, especially
Those intestines, that smell...I had the intention to throw them out, but I was afraid that Brother Chen would be sad. My brother Chen was really filial, and he ate all the pig intestines because he was afraid that I would be sad..."
After Aunt Gu said this, she couldn't say any more and burst into tears. Mrs. Qin seemed to feel the same way, sighing silently and nodding.
Suddenly he heard a "poof" laugh and turned around to see Xin Nian wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, as if he had sprayed tea.
"Sister Xin is still smiling, haven't you been abused by them these days?"
Aunt Gu didn't believe it, but Xin Nian smiled and said, "It's not me who said that although the kitchen uses us to please grandma, my sister's words are too exaggerated. I don't know about others. How can these brothers and sisters in our house have any
Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake of filial piety? Even my six children, Yaya, had a bad life in the past, and there was nothing they could do about it. Now there is clearly something to eat on the table, but it is impossible to ask them to consciously eat food they don't like. "
"Sister, what do you mean?" Aunt Gu was unhappy: "You mean? My brother Chen likes to eat pig intestines?"
"What's so strange about this? It's the rule in our house. Starting from the concubine and the prince, we don't like to have internal organs in the water. I used to make the nine-turn large intestine in the kitchen at home, which is a masterpiece. My father loves it the most. Now in the kitchen
Most of the food sent to our hospital is chicken heads, chicken feet, fish heads, pork liver, etc., which just suits my appetite. Liu Zai and Yaya don’t like to eat it very much, so they all give me an advantage.”
Mrs. Qin nodded and said: "That's true. But there are all these things on the table, which shows that he has a cruel heart."
"That's right." Aunt Gu nodded: "And I don't like having my internal organs in the water. I haven't eaten a bite of meat in the past half month. Madam and Sister Xin, look at me, I have a look on my face."
Lychee said next to Mrs. Qin: "Don't be angry, Auntie, these are the things sent to Madam, otherwise we wouldn't have asked the small kitchen to make lotus seed soup to supplement our income."
Aunt Gu said: "It's summer, and the small kitchen is usually not used. It would be a shame for us if Fang'er does it."
Xin Nian pondered: "Isn't it like this in winter?"
Aunt Gu said: "In winter, we always distribute ingredients to the small kitchen. I don't believe it. Are they all doing this? You have to give some meat and ribs, right? Otherwise, you will look ridiculous."
Xin Nian sneered and said: "As long as grandma allows it, will anyone look at us more? The question is, there are more people and less meat. If you want to irritate the concubine and the princess, are you going to make a fuss over this?"
Aunt Gu smiled and said: "How can I have such dignity? But my sister is different. I often go to your place. If there are all these things on the table, he will definitely ask. Then you can express our grievances for us."
