Although Mrs. Cheng educated Cheng Jiaoniang for Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng still went to ask Mrs. Cheng personally.
"Sister-in-law, you just want to go if you like any girl here, not to mention that the girl is now being raised by you." Mrs. Cheng Er said.
Not all things within the scope of duties are reasonable. Saying a few more words will be tiring, but it can avoid some resentment.
This is Mrs. Cheng’s experience as a married woman for decades.
"She is the girl next to the second brother's daughter. I, as the aunt, have to say something." She said that the topic ended here. She also knew that the second wife and her husband would never be unhappy. If she said more, it would be too much and not enough to be pretentious.
She changed the subject, "I asked the girl to come and ask her how her cooking skills are."
Mrs. Cheng Er had no interest in meeting a girl, and besides, she was a stupid girl, but since her sister-in-law said it, she agreed.
"You will become stupid if you eat the food cooked by that girl." Cheng Qiniang said.
The mothers talked, and the two sisters sat behind a screen playing backgammon.
"That girl is not a fool." Cheng Liuniang sneered at the child's words and pushed the chessboard, "I won. I ate all the fried food on the plate. Look, I still beat you."
Cheng Qiniang pouted and shook the chessboard with dissatisfaction.
"Or am I really stupid?" Cheng Liu Niang said pretending to be serious while shaking her small fan, "How come I still beat Qiniang? It turns out that Qiniang, you are even more stupid than a fool?"
After saying this, she covered her mouth with a small fan and started to giggle.
Cheng Qiniang burst into tears in shame and anger.
"Liu Niang! Bullying your sister again!" Mrs. Cheng's angry voice came from in front of the screen.
The wet nurses also came in and knelt down to scold Liu Niang and comfort Qi Niang. They were not surprised. It was obviously a common thing for the two sisters.
In the midst of the excitement, Banqin was brought.
"What does your wife do?" Mrs. Cheng Er asked in accordance with her duty.
Banqin was overjoyed.
"My wife is asleep." She replied happily.
She was still asleep after what time. Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips. As expected, a fool is a fool.
"Did you do this?" Mrs. Cheng didn't need to be polite to a girl and asked straight to the point.
The maid pushed Cheng Liu Niang's leftover fried food over to Ban Qin to see.
Banqin said ah, with a surprised look on his face.
She just realized that her food had been stolen, the servant woman and Mrs. Cheng looked at her expression and said to themselves.
"My wife doesn't like to eat, so I made some snacks." Banqin came to her senses and hurriedly lowered her head and said.
When the servant girl came to tell her that the second lady was looking for her, she happily told her lady that she must be seeing her.
"Snacks." Cheng Jiaoniang spat out two words.
However, she didn't understand at the time. She thought that the lady wanted to eat snacks. She wanted to get them, but the servant girl rushed over and had to ask the rough girl to bring the snacks to the lady.
I didn’t expect that this snack was already at Madam’s place!
It turns out that when the lady talks about snacks, does she mean that the lady meets her for snacks?
How did the lady know?
Oh my God, the lady is indeed a divine enlightenment person, she is so smart!
Banqin raised his head again, looking surprised and excited.
This kind of expression is very common for Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng and the servants. The girl at home is appreciated for a certain point and is called for questioning. She is excited and excited that she is about to get an unexpected surprise.
This girl must have guessed what good luck is going to hit her next.
Mrs. Cheng smiled slightly.
"You did a good job." She said, looking at a maid standing outside the hall, "Mrs. Tao, let her follow Mrs. Zhu in the kitchen to make snacks."
The servant girl responded yes.
"Thank you, Madam." She looked at Banqin and pointed.
Mrs. Zhu is the cook at home who makes good snacks. If she can learn a craft from her, many girls are vying for it.
Banqin was in a daze, as if he didn't quite understand what was going on.
"Thank you, Madam." She kowtowed and thanked her, then raised her head, "What do you want me to do, Madam?"
"Look, you are such a fool, you can't even understand what you are saying!" Cheng Qiniang said from behind the screen.
Cheng Liuniang got up and walked out.
"I want you to make me some snacks." She looked at Banqin and said, raising her head slightly.
Banqin finally understood.
"But, this slave still has to serve my wife." She said blankly.
"Give me two more girls." Mrs. Cheng took over and said, "The cook will also go with me."
That's enough.
"Sister-in-law, where do you use so much?" Mrs. Cheng Er said.
"She is ill after all. It would be better if there were more people." Mrs. Cheng said.
Banqin was a little dazed.
"What do you mean, madam, that I will no longer follow my wife?" she asked.
Cheng Qiniang stood up and came out, looking at Banqin giggling.
"Sure enough, he is so stupid that he can't even understand what he is saying. People who follow fools will become stupid." She said proudly and glanced at Cheng Liu Niang, "Sixth sister, do you really want to eat what this girl made?
Think about it."
Before Cheng Liuniang could speak, Banqin spoke.
"Madam, my wife is no longer stupid," she said hurriedly.
Cheng Qiniang and Cheng Liuniang had the same expression this time, and they both laughed.
"Really, my wife is ready." Banqin said, pointing to the snacks, "This, this is not made by me, my wife taught me."
Not many people present heard what she said, but everyone understood her meaning.
"Sixth sister, I won't go with you." Cheng Qiniang said with a smile.
Cheng Liu Niang lowered her face.
"Don't you want to make me some snacks?" She took a step forward and asked with raised eyebrows.
Banqin was a little panicked.
"Slave, this slave actually doesn't know how to make snacks." She stammered, "My lady taught me..."
Before she finished speaking, Cheng Qiniang giggled. This laughter made Cheng Liuniang immediately have a fit.
"Give me a palm!" she shouted, throwing the fan in her hand fiercely, stamping her feet and shouting, "Palm! Palm!"
Banqin was panic-stricken, and the servants were stunned for a moment, but then one of the servants stepped forward and slapped Banqin twice.
"Okay." Mrs. Cheng then spoke.
The servant girl had already retracted her hand and stood with her hands down.
Banqin's cheeks swelled up and she was completely confused.
Since she was bought and trained by Mrs. Zhou, she was sent to the Taoist temple to serve Cheng Jiaoniang. Although the Taoist temple was poor, the people in the Taoist temple did not bully them because of Mrs. Zhou's money. Cheng Jiaoniang was a fool, so An Jingping
Quiet, there is not much work in daily life, and there is no master to control me. This is the first time in my life that I have been beaten.
"Forget it if you don't want to, go down." Mrs. Cheng said calmly.
Banqin was still stunned.
"You still haven't thanked me, madam!" the servant girl shouted in a low voice.
Banqin hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, got up in a panic, and ran away staggeringly.
"Mom, let her go away, let her go away, I don't want to see this girl at home!"
Cheng Liu Niang's voice came from behind.
Seeing Banqin coming over in a panic, the servants and girls coming and going pointed.
Banqin only felt that her cheeks were burning, and she didn't know whether it was because of shame or pain.
She lowered her head in a panic and almost tripped over her feet. Then she realized that she was in a hurry to get up and left her sandals at Mrs. Cheng's place. She didn't dare to go back to get them, so she kept her socks on and hurried away with her head lowered.
My feet hurt from the gravel road.
Banqin lowered his head and burst into tears. (To be continued)
