Chapter 96 Temptation
On the other hand, the Xue family, although no fewer than fifty tables were prepared, only two or three tables were actually opened. There was a lot of leftovers left in the kitchen, enough for the whole family to eat for three to five days. There is more than enough.
Sitting at the table in the open room of the main courtyard, Pang listened to Madam Yan talking about the big kitchen, "Fortunately, Qin Rui's family kept an eye out, and not all of the fish, meat and vegetables were cooked, and there were quite a few left over, but the fish was They were all killed on the first day, and the meat that should be finely chopped was also finely chopped, and there was no way to return them. But those vegetables can still be returned. Only people like us, if they say this, they will not say that we can live. I would say that my wife can't be a human being."
Pang was trembling with anger, pinching a blue and white tureen in his hands, his fingertips turned white due to too much force, "My son left all this work to our eldest girl to make decisions, what can I do?"
"Ma'am, there is no more than two liang of silver left in the public house. Why don't you think of a way to hide from it today? Since the eldest girl has to take care of things, why don't you leave it to the eldest daughter."
"You think I don't want to?" Pang sighed, "Our master is a man who doesn't care about everything. He never knows that daily necessities are expensive, and he only knows how to ask for money. This time, I don't know what to do with this little bitch." Ecstasy Soup, even said to give her the right to give it to her. It sounds good. When the girl grows up, she always learns to manage things from her mother. Hmph, I don’t know if you look at it. , leave the matter of earning money to me, I am such a bully!"
Pang took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, "I just thought that in the future this house will always be handed over to my brother Ce, how can I really ignore it? These things , you think I didn't think of it?"
Nurse Yan also has nothing to say, how about the eldest girl, anyway, she will go out in the future, but the uncle is a son, and if he wants to inherit the family business, is it true that he should just give the old man an empty shell?
Nurse Yan thought for a while before saying, "Is there really no other way?"
"Why is there no way? Tell the kitchen that for a few days today, the whole family will eat the leftovers from today's food. If anyone doesn't want to eat, he can ask the kitchen to make delicious food with his own money. You give the kitchen five taels of silver, sir If you want to study, you can't lose your health, and the money comes from myself, so I can make the kitchen good for the uncle as usual, and it can be regarded as an example for other people in the house."
After Xue Wanqing returned to Chunhui Hall, she didn't even sit in the afternoon table. Chunhui Hall did not lack food, Yuan Shi still did not dare to be negligent, and asked the kitchen to send a table of noodles to Chunhui Hall, the old lady kept a few dishes to eat with Xue Wanqing, and gave the rest to the people below .
After dinner, Xue Wanqing took the old lady around the yard, and told the old lady some of the health-preserving methods she knew, coaxing the old lady to praise her for her filial piety.
"It's better to stay here with my grandma. Qing'er doesn't want to go back. She just wants to stay with the old lady for the rest of her life."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be a girl who doesn't go out and stays at home as an old lady? I heard that many young men came to the mansion today. Have you taken a fancy to any of them?"
A stunning face appeared in Xue Wanqing's mind. The young man was cold and handsome. When he stared at people with a pair of black eyes, there was an aggressive light like a beast. He was indeed the king who will replace the country in the future. But she was well aware of the rules of this era, and shyly buried her face in the old lady's arms, "The old lady is joking Qing'er."
"What's the matter? Although there are many rules and regulations in the girl's house, you must learn to plan for yourself. Your mother passed away early, if I don't help you plan, who else can help you plan? If you are in front of me, I can't help worrying about you, but your marriage still needs your grandmother and father's nod in the end, and I can't really make the decision after all."
You can’t decide ten points, but you can also decide eight points! Xue Wanqing thought in her heart that she was not in a hurry for her own affairs, she knew the general direction of the plot, this was her golden finger, and she could still control her future destiny, but Xie Zhiwei, according to the arrangement in the book, She was not named the county head.
"Grandmother, what about the eldest cousin's marriage? After the Chinese New Year, the eldest cousin is also eleven years old, and it's time to discuss marriage. I wonder which family's son my grandmother has chosen for the eldest cousin?"
Feng couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Of course she wanted to marry Xie Zhiwei as soon as possible, but if it didn't come before Ji, the old man would be unhappy first.
"Your eldest cousin's matter is not in a hurry." Feng Shi pinched Shibazi's bead, not thinking about Xie Zhiwei's matter, and asked Xue Wanqing, "Tell grandma, who are the sons and daughters who are here today?" ?”
Young master is the key point.
Xue Wanqing was about to speak when she heard the maid at the door raise the curtain, "The old man is here!"
Xue Wanqing hurriedly got out of Feng's arms, saw the door, the old man's face was full of red, and he walked in pompously, he straightened his temples and got up to salute the old man, "Grandfather!"
Although Xue Wanqing has been in Xie's house for many years, she doesn't see the old man very often. Whether it's the introduction in the book or the memory of the original body, the old man's impression of Xue Wanqing is only four words: serious.
Such people are actually not easy to deal with.
A modest gentleman like him has already cultivated to the point where emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy cannot be displayed. He only pays attention to the rules in his words and deeds, and he will not be emotional at all, so he appears to be impeccable.
Xie Tiao nodded towards Xue Wanqing, "I have something to tell your grandmother."
This means, what should Xue Wanqing do, don't stay here to be an eyesore. Xue Wanqing couldn't stand this kind of cold reception, and with an angry attitude, she blessed herself, "Grandma, Qing'er should go back too."
Her original intention was to let the old lady keep her, and she just took this opportunity to make things difficult for others, and the old lady was indeed very kind, "It's so late, you've already come, what are you going back for? You just stay, Will this mouth be missing at home?"
Xie Tiao turned around, looked at Xue Wanqing and said, "Let your fourth uncle or your cousin see you off!"
No matter how thick-skinned Xue Wanqing is, it's hard to keep it. She was self-defeating, but she hated Xie Tiao even more. She couldn't help but think that she deserved the ending of Xie's family in the book. No emperor could tolerate such a stinky stone in a latrine. A courtier of character.
Ms. Feng looked at Xie Tiao in astonishment, but Xie Tiao had already spoken, and she hadn't dared to refute Xie Tiao's words, so she could only wink at Nanny Jin and asked Nanny Jin to send Xue Wanqing out.
