Chapter 217 Hedong Lion’s Roar
Since Mrs. An was beaten, she no longer cares about her eldest son or even her grandson's studies. She has been lying on the kang moaning and groaning, unable to get up, and needs help for eating, drinking and defecating.
It also made the four daughters-in-law complain endlessly, especially Wang Liya, who spent almost half of the time waiting for the sick. Mrs. An was so angry that she was beaten like this by the old man, and she took it out on her daughters-in-law. Mr. Lao An was beaten because of it.
After the beating, he was nowhere to be seen all day long. He only came back to sleep at night, and Mrs. An didn't dare to vent her anger on him, so her daughters-in-law suffered a lot.
For a moment, everyone in Lao An's family was in danger, and even the father and son of Dafang, who were usually the most noisy, calmed down.
Recalling the scene where Boss Lao An beat Lao An's wife behind closed doors, An Zicheng's legs tensed up and he didn't dare to say any more nonsense.
This result directly led to Xia Qiyue's relaxation. Lao An's family did not dare to trouble her anymore. She was happy and free, but it was not leisure at all.
She has been busy running around these days, and having to come back to cook for Pei Heng at noon has become a hassle.
Fortunately, Pei Heng has been ordering barbecue for five days in a row. More and more ingredients have been delivered, and more and more types of fruits have been delivered. However, he only ordered two kinds of delicacies, namely barbecue and fruit fishing, which is quite surprising.
To save trouble, just prepare enough barbecue ingredients in Xia July. If Pei Heng likes it, she can cook it for a whole month.
Yogurt is enough. She has bought an extra vat, but the milk in this vat is not for fermenting yoghurt. She needs butter in case of emergencies.
Just last night, the fruit trees in the space matured one after another. Xia Qiyue looked at the amazing growth. They were all juicy and big, and red like big picturesque apples. When he took a bite, juice splashed everywhere, and his mouth was filled with rich flavor.
The apples are fragrant, super watery, crisp and refreshing.
Summer and July are so busy that I will find opportunities to sneak into the space to see the fruitful fruit trees and the five horses in the stable.
Five days have passed, and the five BMWs have grown up a lot, but they are naturally naive and will chase and play around in the stables. Whenever this happens, Xia Qiyue wants to ride out and show off.
It must be very comfortable and refreshing. She thinks Jueying should be faster than the battery car in the previous life?
The scratches on An Zihao's face have healed a lot, and the scabs are about to fall off. With the quietness these days, the candy business in the small courtyard has gradually decreased, and it is no longer the same as before.
It was sold out as soon as it came out and could only be sold out in the morning.
Shu'er didn't come to buy candies for three days in a row. The strange thing was that after Lu'er stopped coming, a strange girl came over the next day. Xia Qiyue asked out of curiosity. It turned out that it was Miss Qin.
There is another girl beside me, Huang'er.
The little girl is not as good at talking as Lu'er. When Xia Qiyue asked about Lu'er, she only replied, "Sister Lu'er is very skillful. She is helping the young lady embroider her dowry! I will be a slave in the future to buy candies!"
In fact, they come to buy candies every day, and the amount they buy is two to three kilograms. Sometimes it may be four or five kilograms. This is not because Miss Qin loves to eat candies so much that she can't help herself.
Even though she is a legitimate daughter and is deeply loved, she still has to maintain the relationship, not only the relationship in the family and the backyard, but also the relationship between father and daughter, so that her father feels that this daughter is useful.
So how can a daughter who lives in a deep house in the backyard help her father? Only by having certain influential and certain connections in the circle of wealthy ladies can her value be reflected.
This requires attending some banquets from time to time and giving some gifts.
And Qin Lanlan's greatest value is that she can buy two kinds of well-loved candies that most people can't buy.
This candy is not only popular among women, but also among men. From merchants' homes to court officials, they try to get it to give to their wives, concubines, and colleagues as gifts. Although it is not expensive, it is very valuable.
face.
Because this kind of candy has been around for almost half a year, but there is no replica. After all, there is only one place where you can buy it, and many people can't find it.
Things are rare and expensive, so nougat and halva have become popular among people. Not only are they delicious to eat, but reselling them is a particularly profitable business.
Xia Qiyue no longer asked about Lu'er's affairs. She was just a little girl at best. She had to do whatever her master asked her to do. She had no right to make the decision.
But then I heard Huang'er whisper in a low voice, "Sister Lu'er is the young lady's maid. When she gets to her husband's family, she may become a prosperous person. There is no need for these errand boys..."
Later, Xia Qiyue learned from others that dowry maids are different from ordinary maids. Dowry maids are trained since childhood. They have been with the young lady since childhood, eating, living and studying together. The dowry maids have to know almost all the skills that the young lady knows.
Frankly speaking, a maid as a dowry is trained to be a helper for the young lady in her fight for favor. After arriving at her husband's house, she has to help the young lady fight for favor.
A dowry maid is also different from a trial marriage maid. If a dowry maid is attracted by her husband, she must be a concubine. A trial marriage maid is not allowed to be a concubine. She may be disposed of by the master after she returns from the trial marriage.
Only then did Xia Qiyue realize that the little girl Lu'er had such a hard life. If she were an ordinary girl, she would be able to get married when she reached her age. However, she only had two fates: to be a noble concubine, or to be looked down upon by her husband's family.
If she says it, she will stay with the lady for the rest of her life and become a nanny.
This is also the most unfriendly thing about Dongchu's dowry girls. They never have the right to marry freely.
Putting aside Lu'er for the moment, Xia Qiyue faced a huge problem, that is, the little guy in front of her was too cute.
I don’t know why, but Ke’er doesn’t like playing with her brothers and sisters recently. She always pesters her, and only pesters her when she is cooking.
You won’t be able to watch it until you start operating it.
"Ke'er, mom is cooking and it's very hot. Can you go out and play with your brothers and sisters?"
Ke'er pouted aggrievedly and shook her head, "No!"
"Ke'er, be good. When mother prepares something delicious, be the first to feed it to Ke'er! How about it?"
Ke'er still shook his head, "No, Ke'er has to help her mother cook, and Ke'er has to learn to cook!"
Xia Qiyue held her forehead, wondering what happened to this child?
"Ke'er, tell mom, why don't you play with your brothers and sisters anymore? Are they bullying you?"
Ke'er nodded crazily, shaking even his little body.
Xia Qiyue's expression changed. She had taught her children not to kill each other but to help each other and love each other. How could such a thing happen?
"Tell mother, why are your brothers and sisters bullying you? Mother, go and deal with them!"
Ke'er's eyes lit up and she immediately blurted out, "Sister Ling'er has been following my aunt. She doesn't play with me. Brother... my brother only plays with his books and ignores me. He asked me to learn cooking from my mother."
Yes! My brother said that he wants to eat the food cooked by Ke'er..."
