Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

Now that the weather is cold, don't wander around, you are always non-stop, reasoning that filial piety is not in it. "

When Chai Li saw Pan Jinlian coming in, she hurriedly said something with a smile, and asked the little girl next to her to bring a stool:

"Hurry up and bring a chair for the lady, put it on a soft cushion, and bring the white fungus that has just been boiled for the lady to taste."

Pan Jinlian quickly thanked:

"At first, I wanted to come here to thank my wife for giving such a good service to Aunt Shen, but I didn't expect to ask my wife to pay for it, but it was disrespectful, so I just took it."

Saying that, she asked Ying'er to bring up the food box, and said with a smile:

"Here are some snacks I just made, including sweet-scented osmanthus cake and fried shredded chicken rolls, which my wife always likes to eat."

Mrs. Chai and Li got excited, and asked someone to bring out the food and share it with Mrs. Chai and Wang. They both said it was delicious after tasting it, which made Mrs. Chai even more happy, and said with a smile:

"I happen to have a pack of bird's nest that I just bought here. You can take it with you when you go back. This thing is best for nourishing the lungs and nourishing yin. People who are pregnant will inevitably feel hot and dry. It's good to eat."

Pan Jinlian hurriedly thanked her again, and said that the Shen family's wife is very neat in her work and has a good temper, so thank you again:

"As expected of the person trained by my wife, she is very appropriate. She can think of everything I can't think of, not to mention the craftsmanship of the method. I have gained a lot of weight recently."

Chai Wang also followed suit and said:

"That's right. You are well-informed, so you naturally see people as seasoned. You will always feel sorry for your poor daughter-in-law. Give me two people's orders, otherwise you will seem a little partial."

Mrs. Chai Li held the tea bowl and smiled slightly:

"Why, do you still need someone? I see that there are many wives and girls in your yard, and you still want someone from me? It can be seen that you are greedy."

Chai Wang hurriedly twisted her body and said coquettishly:

"How can those idiots in my yard catch up with Madam's men? Recently, I have seen those servants in the yard getting more and more unpleasant. They have high hands and low eyesight and can't work. They always make me angry, so I rushed I sent a few, and I was thinking of finding a dental clinic to fill in the master. Madam loves me the most on weekdays, why is it that when it comes to Zhenzhang, she is not even willing to give it to someone who is easy to use, which makes me feel really wronged."

This play is so contrived that Pan Jinlian couldn't help but spit it out, but Chai and Li didn't move, with a smile on his face, he glanced at Chai Lin from the corner of his eyes, and agreed:

"Since you've said that, I'm going to give it to you. It's just that it's a disadvantage to your siblings. How about I just be a good person and add five people to each of you in the yard?"

Chai Lin was taken aback for a moment, but Chai Wang quickly saluted and thanked:

"That will fulfill my wish. I'm here to kowtow to Madam first."

As he said that, he was about to kneel down, Chai Li hurriedly got someone to help him up, Chai Lin also reacted, and thanked him, Chai Li then asked someone to bring a few people over, and they all stood in the yard for the two of them pick.

Pan Jinlian watched the bustle, and knew that there was nothing of her own to do here, anyway, she was doing well anyway, so naturally she would not get involved in the chaotic things in the backyard of the Chai family, so she left.

***********************************************

And no matter how busy the back house of the Chai family was, Pan Jinlian's life was quite good.Since the last time I went to Chai Li's courtyard to thank her, the wives of the Chai family sent people to deliver some tonics from time to time. She felt more and more that she had become some kind of animal whose survival goal was to eat and drink.

However, Pan Jinlian's mind was still restless. Chai Wu settled a deal with the old master who came back from the capital, helped him pay off his debts, prepared two rooms for him, and bought a table of banquets and new products. The quilt salutes, almost enshrining people as Buddhas.

The master chef is also a cheerful person, after eating Chai Wu's food, he just tried his best to help him make distilled wine.According to Pan Jinlian's thinking, this thing should be easy to make as long as one masters the technology, but she didn't expect to hit a wall many times.

Chai Wu also had a headache, so he slowly explained to Pan Jinlian at night:

"The master said that this sugarcane is too hypocritical, it will go bad if you are not careful, and the brewed thing is sour and unpleasant; even if you are lucky, it is still mixed with slag, and the appearance is not good-I tasted it Yes, it’s good to ask, but you have to take your time.”

Pan Jinlian thought about it for a few days, but naturally she couldn't think of how to solve these problems. She was not a professional in the first place, so remembering these things was already a golden finger.

Seeing that she was so troubled, Chai Wu hurriedly persuaded her:

"I didn't tell you if I knew it earlier, but it will take some time to make new wine. The old master also said that this road is generally good. As long as you try to think about it for a while, you can always make good things. He also said Just ask me how I came up with the idea of ​​steaming wine with sugarcane!"

It's true, Pan Jinlian couldn't help but relax, she had a very smooth life.

"In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news!"

Chai Wu was also full of confidence, patted his chest and assured:

"It's three months at most, and one month shorter, and I will definitely be able to make something decent!"

In fact, I don’t know what to do in my heart. The millet wine made in the distillery can only maintain the expenses, and it is impossible to make money. Therefore, the sugar cane and utensils for making honey wine can only be subsidized by Chai Wu and Pan Jinlian. If you don't make it for a day, you spend money in it for nothing. If you really can't make it for a few months, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive.

It's just that these things can't be said to Pan Jinlian.

So Pan Jinlian waited until she gave birth.

65 buns

The unnatural tranquility of the Chai family gradually extended to the summer, Pan Jinlian was able to go out gradually since the weather got warmer, and heard a few words from the women of the Chai family.However, the master of the Chai family sold two more shops at an extremely low price. He took the money and sent it directly to the magistrate's yamen, but the magistrate received the money but still hesitated and refused to spit it out, which made the master of the Chai family suffer. Summer heat, sick in bed.

"I look at the master and I feel angry. After more than half a year, there is no result. Our Chai family is also in ruins. If it was before, how dare a white rascal bully us!"

Chai Wang and Chai Lin hurriedly persuaded with a smile:

"Exactly, it's just that Madam doesn't have to get mad at a rascal."

Mrs. Chai and Li nodded, then turned around and said to Mrs. Zhou:

"By the way, the tonic that Wang Jiaxin sent has to be stewed and delivered to the master. By the way, when we go over, I will ask the housekeeper when he will come over. I can also clean up the yard, and call two smart ones." Serving people, yes, it was said to be coming, why hasn't it arrived by this time?"

Those of the Zhou family hurriedly remembered it and went to the kitchen to deliver the letter. Mrs. Chai Wang said with a smile:

"Is the high official coming over? Presumably when he comes, the lawsuit should be settled."

"That's right, Little Xuanfeng Chai Jin's name, who in the official world doesn't give some face, plus our Chai Jiadan book iron scroll, we will never lose to a scoundrel."

Pan Jinlian listened from the side, and couldn't help but start to tremble again. This time, Chai Jin would probably cause trouble when he came here, but what could he do now?While thinking, he slowly said:

"However, I think it's better to have more things than less things. It's always good for everyone to live in harmony. What kind of family is our family? If we are really serious with a scoundrel, we will lose our identity, right? I hope Madam will persuade you Master, my family officials have said that the master is the pillar of the Chai family, once we get angry, we can even sleep peacefully."

Mrs. Chai Li nodded and sighed:

"Why don't I know this truth? It's just that the master is in a demonic barrier now. I persuaded him several times but it didn't make any sense. I can only secretly beg the Bodhisattva to worship the Buddha so that the rascal will get sores and die quickly. This can be regarded as the end of this paragraph. Koan."

I'm afraid this disaster is unavoidable, and Pan Jinlian also knows that with her little right to speak, she can't turn the situation around at all, so she can only pray that she and Chai Wu will not be implicated in it.

The three women of the Chai family didn't take this matter to heart. Every time Chai Wang and Chai Lin got the soil and objects sent by Chai Jin, they were all new things, so they all looked forward to his coming. And said:

"It's best that the officials bring her sister-in-law here too. I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time. Back then, they gave me a present on my birthday. Anyway, I have to return the table."

"No, don't talk about you, but I haven't seen her a few times since she gave birth. When they got married, I saw that she was still a tender girl. I didn't expect that she would also be a grandmother. "

Mrs. Chai and Li couldn't help thinking about the scene at that time, and praised:

"At that time, there were [-] tables in the running water banquet, and many people from the rivers and lakes in the government came over. Chai Jin's old lady was still alive, but she brought a gift in person and asked me to help set it up. I was tired for more than a month, and I still slept when I came back. It's been three days."

"Naturally, Madam is considerate and capable, so I invited her over. That's what it means to say that the capable work harder."

Although Chai Lin's words became less and less, he knew that he came over from time to time to make up a few words.

A few people were worried about this at first, and after a few words, it was over, and they talked about the preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival.Chai Wang said with a smile while looking at the account book:

"Now the master has sold out several shops, and we have to prepare less things. I think moon cakes, melons and fruits, and those pastries are all indispensable. As for the small theater troupe invited outside
