"Old lady, you stew the tonic for the second lady every day. If the eldest lady hears it, I'm afraid she will say that you are partial..." the eldest maid Chunchun muttered while helping Gu Qingling prepare the tonic soup.
In fact, she didn't agree with Gu Qingling taking matters into her own hands.
No matter how hard it is for Mrs. Yao Er to give birth to a child, there is no need for the old lady to take action, right?
There are so many maids in the yard, just let anyone do it. Why do you need to alarm the old lady?
It's a pity that no matter what the maid Chun tried to persuade her, Gu Qingling didn't let go.
"This is my wish. Okay, you can have someone send it over." Gu Qingling said, "After all, she is my daughter-in-law, so she should be nicer to her."
"How can this be called good? The old lady almost praises the second wife to the sky. Which daughter-in-law needs the old lady to give birth to a child? Anyway, this is the first time I see you."
"That's because you are young and have seen less. You will know when you see more in the future." Gu Qingling would not admit it. In fact, she did it herself to prevent anyone from noticing the secret in the tonic.
well……
It is troublesome for a person to have too many secrets.
I just didn't expect that the story of her personally making soup for her daughter-in-law would actually reach Li Wenchong's ears.
The other party wrote a letter directly to her, asking for supplements.
Gu Qingling: "..."
Why does that guy know so clearly what happened in her house?
Could it be that he has arranged someone in my house?
Gu Qingling had to doubt the new people who came into the courtyard. There was no way around it. The recent additions to the courtyard were either because Lord Yao Jiu had grown up and needed people, or because Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao were pregnant and had prepared in advance.
Because she had to prepare things for Yao Jiuye in advance, a few new people came into her yard.
Gu Qingling replied a letter: [Did you arrange someone in my yard?]
Li Wenchong: [Yes, I am worried about you being alone. By the way, remember my tonic soup.]
Gu Qingling's mouth twitched, and he arranged for someone to come to her, but he actually said it was "natural". What did he take her for?
Wait, if he arranged someone, wouldn't he arrange it for Yao Jiuye?
Gu Qingling's heart trembled.
Be on the safe side, Li Wenchong shouldn’t have doubted Yao Jiuye’s identity, right?
Gu Qingling stood up quickly and looked at Yao Jiuye who was playing with building blocks. The white and tender little dumpling was wearing a special rabbit-eared suit. The plump bun face was sometimes serious and sometimes showed a sweet smile. It was so cute.
If you don't look carefully, you won't realize it. But if you look closely, the shadow of Li Wenchong is all between his eyebrows. He is a completely smaller version of Li Wenchong.
Gu Qingling: "..."
No one should have that kind of unwarranted association, right?
It's okay that he looks like her, and she can still get around it, but if this little guy looks like Li Wenchong, then he's really...
There is no more than three hundred taels of silver here.
Gu Qingling directly ordered that the new people serving in the courtyard be transferred away and all the old people used were used.
Then he wrote a letter to Li Wenchong, telling him not to go too far.
Li Wenchong, who received the letter, looked angry and said to Qingzhu: "She actually said that I was going too far? Where did I go too far? I kindly sent her a few loyal servants, but she actually doubted me..."
Qingzhu lowered his head and said nothing.
Isn't it normal that I don't want to use other people's eyes because I am an old lady?
What's more, the two of them haven't confirmed their relationship yet. If they do, that's another matter.
"If I were really malicious, would I tell her? It's been so long, why doesn't she believe me? What does the Yao family need me to take pictures of? I've already given the money to her, and she still doesn't
What do you think of me..." In order to please Gu Qingling, Li Wenchong not only asked Qian Laifu to actively cooperate with the Yao family, but also found someone to contact other members of the Yao family to provide support based on the situation.
Even when Uncle Yao was about to take the provincial examination, Li Wenchong specially packed various materials and delivered them to Uncle Yao through other people's hands.
In addition to not intervening in the provincial examination and sending the quota of candidates to Uncle Yao, he really did a lot of things that he would not have done before.
If someone had told him before he met Gu Qingling that one day he would do something like this for a woman, Li Wenchong would have had to be dragged down to fight fifty times.
But now...
well!
Who makes him have to be her?
Growing up, under the favor of Emperor Mingguang, Li Wenchong always wanted to get wind and rain, and he had never encountered such a thing as "asking for something but not getting it".
This time, he had to confront this old woman.
----------------------------------------
Gu Qingling rejected Li Wenchong's request very ruthlessly. In order to prevent Li Wenchong from stealing it, she stopped making soup for Mrs. Yao and handed it over directly to the people below.
She would rather be careful and not let Li Wenchong notice any flaws, than cause any trouble to the Yao family.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.
Throughout the ages, whoever has anything to do with the royal family has not suffered the disaster of annihilation "accidentally"?
Forget about everything else, which of the fragrant space and spiritual spring is not a big secret related to life and death?
The effect of the spiritual spring was extremely good. If Li Wenchong drank it and became famous, what would happen would be beyond her control.
As for Mrs. Yao’s body...
It's okay, when Mrs. Yao Er came to pay her respects after her confinement, Gu Qingling personally handed her tea (oh, by the way, put some spiritual spring in it).
Poor Mrs. Yao, after only a few days of being proud, she found that the compensation for the stew made by the old lady was gone.
No, it’s gone so quickly?!
Mrs. Yao Er, who was drunk, was very disappointed.
"As for that?" Second Master Yao saw her disappointed look and even teased her.
Mrs. Yao Er glared: "As for, just as for, you have never drank it, so you don't know how delicious the old lady's craftsmanship is. If you have drunk it, you will also miss it..."
She also sighed, "Well, I don't know when it will be until the next time I drink the tonic soup stewed by the old lady."
Seeing her like this, Mr. Yao couldn't help but wonder, is this mother's tonic soup really so delicious? Otherwise, why would his wife be so obsessed with it?
But no matter how she thought about it, Mrs. Yao Er didn't have the guts to run up to Gu Qingling and ask the old lady of Yifu to continue cooking for her.
She could only feel disappointed while thinking, will the old lady personally cook the tonic soup for her to drink next time she gives birth?
Even if she doesn't cook it herself, if the old lady is willing to teach her the recipe, that's fine too.
Before she was even out of confinement, Mrs. Yao Er had already made a plan on "how to make the old lady happy and coax her to get the soup recipe."
Seeing that Mrs. Yao Er was not proud for a few days, and the tonic soup that the old lady stewed herself was gone, Mrs. Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Yao Er was already enough to overwhelm her, and she didn't want Mrs. Yao's weight to increase.
It got heavier and heavier until she couldn't lift her head.
She was obviously the eldest daughter-in-law and the head matron of the Yao family, but Mrs. Yao felt that it was quite difficult for her to be manipulated by the old lady.
If the old lady hadn't been so foolish as to hand over the housekeeper's rights to Mrs. Yao Er, she would have been the mistress of the house in name only.
That's it, because Mrs. Yao Er has a very important position in front of the old lady, and those servants who are very adaptable to the situation often praise Mrs. Yao Er's bad feet.
Although they are not disobedient, it is not easy for Mrs. Yao to control the people in the second room.
