Mrs. Qin sat down in the hall, took the tea from the maid and slowly ate it, her eyes fell on the boy kneeling on the corridor outside the door.
"Are you the one who always follows Thirteenth Lang?" she asked.
Generally, a son-in-law has a servant to run errands, but because Qin Langjun is disabled, the servant beside him not only serves as a errand, but also serves as a crutch.
They were always by Qin Langjun's side, supporting him in sitting, lying and walking, and were not allowed to leave, lest the master should behave in a disgraceful manner.
The boy kowtowed outside and said yes.
"Tell me clearly what happened," Mrs. Qin said.
The boy trembled slightly and remained silent for a while.
"I know what you want to say. It's just that I don't know." Mrs. Qin continued, her manner elegant, and she drank tea slowly. "I know what Thirteen told you without asking. In fact, you don't need to tell me."
What he said is serious. He also knows that what he warned you is useless. I am his mother. I want to know how he is. Even he himself cannot hide it from me and deceive me. You servants can't do it even more. Don't be afraid.
, you can say whatever you want, Thirteen has no intention of not letting you say it, is he just telling you that he has forgotten this matter and is not allowed to mention it again? "
The boy kowtowed and said yes.
A smart mother and son are a smart mother and son.
Why do they need to talk to their servants? Why don't you mother and son sit down and talk directly.
"After asking you guys, I know a rough idea, so I will naturally tell him." Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "I have to guess and tell you, it's boring."
The boy kowtows.
"Madam, I don't know whether it's true or not." He said, "A few days ago, the young master was at Zhou's house and met the sixth young master and his cousin who were arguing. His cousin suddenly said that she could cure the young master's leg."
"Zuoru Lang's cousin?" Mrs. Qin asked with a curious smile, "Is she Tong Yan Wuji?"
"No, madam, have you heard that there is a rumor in the city that there is a wife in the Zhou family who met an immortal." The young man raised his head and said with some excitement.
A servant girl immediately leaned forward and whispered a few words to Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin's face suddenly looked a little surprised.
"Really?" she asked.
The servant girl nodded.
"Sure enough, the news has spread all over Beijing, and Dr. Li testified." She said.
Mrs. Qin smiled thoughtfully.
"Tong Neihan has turned old again? Then he may have to take a concubine again." She said suddenly.
Unexpectedly, the lady was thinking about this when she was thinking for a moment. The servants looked embarrassed, and two of them coughed slightly, reminding the lady to pay attention to her speech and behavior.
The boy outside the door who had his head raised also lowered his head.
"Since the immortal said it, it must be saved." Mrs. Qin said, "Come here, I will go to Zhou's house right away."
As he was about to get up, the servants stopped him.
"Madam, do you really believe it?" they asked.
"Of course I believe it." Mrs. Qin said without hesitation, "As long as my Thirteen can be cured, let alone her being an immortal and attaining Taoism, even if she claims that she is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descending to earth, I will kneel down and worship her.
Light up the incense."
The Thirteenth Prince's legs were indeed the deepest grudge against his wife. Although he smiled brightly on his face, he shed tears many times at night.
The servants looked at each other.
"But, just now he said that the lady would not be cured if she was angry with the Thirteenth Young Master." One said.
"At other times, it would be okay if someone expressed their anger like this, but this lady's behavior..." Another servant said, "Someone asked for help with 20,000 yuan, but she said she didn't want to be cured, and she didn't even see it.
Blink."
Mrs. Qin sat upright.
"Oh, it turns out I don't like money." She said and smiled, "That's right. With such skills, what does money mean to her?"
She pondered for a moment, then smiled.
"If you don't like money, that's easy." She said, putting down the tea bowl in her hand, "Someone, come with me to Zhou's house to propose marriage."
The servants and wives have all been following Mrs. Qin for many years, but after following her all their lives, they are still not sure about the thoughts of Mrs. Qin, who bangs her hammer and sticks here and there. Why does she suddenly go to a matchmaker instead of asking for medical advice?
The servants and women serving in the room all looked at Mrs. Qin blankly.
"Who are you proposing to marry?" one asked.
The Qin family can be considered a large family that has been around for many generations. When a family of this kind gets married, it must be with someone of the same or slightly lower family status. However, the Zhou family is far from being considered lower in the eyes of the Qin family.
family status.
Is it to propose marriage to a branch of the Qin clan? It can be done even if it is forced.
"It's to give us Thirteen to propose marriage to the wife of the Cheng family." Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
The servants' faces were full of astonishment.
Thirteenth Prince! A direct bloodline member of the Qin family proposes marriage to a foreign girl from the Zhou family! Let’s not talk about family differences, just talk about people...
"Madam, how can that happen?" someone blurted out, "The Cheng family lady was once a fool!"
"Wouldn't that be better?" Mrs. Qin smiled slightly, "Thirteen is so smart, wouldn't it be easier to find someone who is dumber?"
The servants were speechless and hesitated for a moment.
"Madam, are you kidding?" one asked.
"Would I make fun of Thirteen?" Mrs. Qin said, looking at the maid, "Since she doesn't love money, then I will give her a gift. All a woman wants is a smooth life, a harmonious husband and wife, and a reliable home."
As she said this, she looked out the door, and the smile on her face gradually fell.
"As long as my Shisan can be cured, I will give her a reliable home."
Xu Bangchui kicked open the door of a house in the backyard, and Sun Cai, who was sleeping on the ground, woke up in fright.
"You Sun Cai, how long have you been up yet?" he shouted. "You stole a bowl of wine to eat, and then you fell asleep to death."
Sun Cai hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's not wine, it's wine lees." He argued hurriedly, "That thing is just water. I can't even drink a bowl of water?"
Xu Bangchui glared and prepared to hit him, but Sun Cai hurriedly held his head.
"Hurry up, my sister is here." Xu Bangchui didn't hit her, but shouted, turned around and went out first.
Sun Cai hurriedly straightened his clothes, wiped his face carelessly and walked out, and saw Cheng Jiaoniang already standing in the yard.
"My wife has come so early." He said hurriedly with a salute.
"Is the tofu ready?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
Sun Cai chuckled and hurriedly opened the door next to him.
"Okay, okay, the tofu I made is definitely fine, but I can't guarantee that it's just the one made by the lady." He muttered, while removing the stone that pressed the tofu, opening the list, and taking a few
Fen proudly pointed to the square tofu and said, "Look, madam."
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and asked the maid to get it.
"Actually, it's not unpalatable. We're just not used to it. It's good for your health." Sun Cai said, while he personally cut off a piece for the maid and put it into the bowl.
The maid did not give it to Cheng Jiaoniang, but stood in front of him without moving.
"And that one," she said, pointing to a box next to her.
Sun Cai shook his head.
"Madam, if you don't order the brine, the tofu won't take shape." He said, moving the stone away and opening the list, he couldn't help but be stunned.
White, tender and square tofu.
Cheng Jiaoniang came over, looked at Doufu and nodded.
"I'm lucky, I ordered it just right." She said, reaching up to brush her sleeves, cutting off a piece with a knife, and the maid hurriedly put it into another bowl.
Sun Cai was still looking at the tofu in confusion.
At Cheng Jiaoniang's signal, the maid handed him two bowls.
"Try it." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Sun Cai came back to his senses and looked at the two bowls in front of him. Without using a spoon, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece of each. The left hand made it by himself, and the right hand also made it by himself, but the gravy belongs to this lady.
He hesitated a little, then put what he had made into his mouth first. The taste was still familiar. He swallowed it, then looked at his right hand, swallowed first, and stuffed it into his mouth with all his strength.
Sun Cai's eyes suddenly widened and he looked up at Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Are you satisfied with this price?" Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and asked calmly.
This price...this price...
Sun Cai's hands were trembling and he looked at his left hand and his right hand.
The maid took a step forward and unfolded a medicine bag towards him.
Sun Cai still remembered this medicine bag. Yesterday, the lady took some things out of it and washed it into the water, then handed it to him for some marinade.
Is this it? Is this the one that turns stone into gold?
Sun Cai felt that his throat was dry, and he couldn't help but swallow repeatedly. He looked at the medicine bag brought by the maid and trembled, not daring to take it.
"Are you going to sell it?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
It turns out that this is what the lady meant when she said she wanted to buy handicrafts.
She was looking for someone who could make tofu. Apart from herself, there were many people who could make tofu, but the secret recipe that this lady held in her hands was the only one in the world.
The key to making tofu is this bit of marinade. Anyone can learn this skill if you watch it a few times. So what can you do then? It’s just a matter of paying a few bucks and waiting for this lady to let her original slaves do it.
If he came out with tofu, his grandson would be completely useless, but this lady did not do this, but gave the secret recipe to herself.
Selling your craftsmanship as a slave in exchange for a secret skill and mastering a magical and unique technique is a very good deal.
Sun Cai didn't hesitate anymore, grabbed the medicine bag, knelt down and kowtowed.
"Sell small ones!" he shouted loudly.
