After rebirth, mother and son are

Haitang went to the big kitchen and picked up all kinds of edible meat, eggs, poultry and so on. Not only were there many types, but also the quantity was objective.

"Next time you go to the big kitchen, I'm afraid the chefs won't let you in." Si Wei was very satisfied with Haitang's combat effectiveness, and now he had the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner.

"I told them that this is the first meal for Master Hou to return home. If it is poor, it will make people laugh, so they dare not stop it." It can be seen that Haitang is also very satisfied with today's harvest, between words Revealing pride.

The three masters and servants were busy, because they couldn't be the same as the New Year's Eve dinner three days later, but also had to be unique and attractive, so Si Wei spent a lot of effort.

I was busy from noon until it was dark, and the dishes on the table were all ready, ten hot dishes, six cold dishes, plus stomach-warming hot soup.

"Oops, it's getting dark! Haitang, did you send some snacks to Lord Hou before, so don't starve our distinguished guests." Winter is short, and most people eat two meals, Si Wei is not used to it, so there are always three meals in Jinglan Garden.They waited at the door after eating at noon. I don't know if the Hou Ye family who came back from all the way had eaten.

"It's all right, I asked the boy to go to Jingtai Garden to ask, Master Hou and Madam went to bed after washing up, and just got up." Haitang put the food into the food box in a hurry.

"That's good!" Si Wei stretched his waist, "You and Shaoyao find a few people to deliver the food, just say that I'm not feeling well, so I don't want to go to eat. I saved the food, and we can eat it ourselves when you come back."

"Master, isn't that bad? They must take this opportunity to curry favor with Lord Hou and Young Madam..." They were naturally referring to Master Qi's concubines.

"They are fawning on them. I'll join in the fun again. After a meal, I'm sure I'll be ruined." Today, when Qi Rongxiao saluted, the scrutiny made Si Wei feel like he couldn't hide, but the time was short and Master Qi was covering him, otherwise Qi Rongxiao will definitely see something.

Haitang and Shaoyao looked at each other, and took orders to deliver the food.After the last dish was served, Haitang was beside Master Qi, and said in a voice that was not loud enough for Hou Ye who was sitting next to Master Qi to hear: "Master, Madam said she was not feeling well, so I won't come here to spoil everyone's happiness." .”

"Mother is sick?" Hearing Haitang's words, as his son, Qi Rongxiao felt the need to take care of her.

"Going back to Lord Hou, Madam may be tired in the afternoon. Madam is already weak, so it may be a little bit reluctant to prepare the dishes for this big table." It's not easy for the master to show up, so they have to seize the opportunity to help him.

"I didn't expect my mother's body to be so weak. One meal made my mother work so hard. I knew we would not eat this meal." Liu Minyi said before Qi Rongxiao said, "Sir, I remember that we still have a hundred-year-old ginseng, waiting for the housekeeper to come Just send it to your mother?"

In order to rush home for the New Year, Qi Rongxiao rushed back with only his wife, children and a few personal attendants. Most of the family belongings and luggage were delivered later by the butler.The [-]-year-old ginseng mentioned by Liu Minyi is also collected by the housekeeper, so she said to wait for the housekeeper to arrive before sending it over.

Liu Minyi's words seemed generous, but anyone with ears could hear the malice in them.Naturally, Qi Rongxiao was no exception. He gave his wife a cold look, then turned to Haitang and said, "Thank you mother, since mother is not feeling well, please rest more. I have prepared some supplements this time, and I will send them to mother later. Go to make up your body."

"Your servant thank you Lord Hou on behalf of your master!" Haitang blessed her body, "Your servant will retire!"

Haitang and Shaoyao returned to Jinglan Garden and Si Wei brothers had a mouthful of food, needless to say, in the hall, after Haitang and Shaoyao left, Master Qi, as the head of the family, announced the opening of the meeting.Except for Mr. Qi, none of the people at the table had tasted Si Wei's cooking skills. The concubines who had been friends with Mei Xiang were planning to vomit, but they swallowed what they had to say as soon as they ate the food.

Strictly speaking, Si Wei's craftsmanship is not better than that of the chefs in the big kitchen, but it is better in the novelty of the dishes and the out-of-season vegetables. For a while, there is only the sound of cups and plates in the hall.

The concubines who came here with a heart of fawning after the food had tasted, finally had their mouths free to speak.Among them were a few older ones who came in before Qi Rongxiao left home, knowing that the young Lord Hou didn't like them, so all their energy was spent on Liu Minyi.

"Don't talk about food, don't talk about sleeping!" Qi Rongxiao said coldly after his wife chatted with them: "Although today is just a family feast, and mother is not here, you..." Qi Rongxiao paused deliberately, and swept his eyes one by one Several concubines, "None of them should be on the table."

This banquet was originally set up for Qi Rongxiao and his wife to cleanse the dust, they are naturally the protagonists, and what Qi Rongxiao said "should not be on the table" naturally refers to the few concubines sitting with him.

Master Hou said so, and then, except for the old master Qi who dared to raise his glass and say a few words, no one else dared to show his air.But the father and son were not close to each other, so naturally they didn't have much to say, so the welcome banquet was kept silent until the end.

When Qi Rongxiao said: "It's getting late, father, why don't we just call it a day?", even Master Qi felt relieved, and hurriedly called for someone, "Come here, hold the lamp, and send the young master and young lady back Jingtai Court."

In front of the servants, Qi Rongxiao just had an ordinary expressionless face, and when the couple returned to the bedroom, his face was immediately covered with a layer of frost.

Liu Minyi was not blind, so she could see that her husband was unhappy, so she had nothing to say: "This quilt is not thick enough at all, it will definitely be cold at night, let's take the quilt off the carriage?"

"Come here!" Qi Rongxiao called the attendant at the door and asked him to take the bedding from the room to the study, and then bring in the bedding from the carriage.

After the attendant left, the ice on Qi Rongxiao's face became thicker, "Do you think you are the biggest in this family besides me?"

Liu Minyi stood beside Qi Rongxiao, bowed her head and did not answer.

"The emperor proclaimed his mother as the third-rank wife, who is higher in rank than you, and the eunuch who announced the decree will come with the housekeeper." Qi Rongxiao leaned close to Liu Minyi, "Remember, this is not the Qi family in the capital city. Here, you are just a daughter-in-law! You What you should do is to respect your parents-in-law and teach your husband and children! I see your mother is gentle and gentle, since your mother-in-law didn’t teach you these things when you were not out of the court, let your mother-in-law teach you, and tomorrow you will go to your mother to set the rules!"

"Sister!" Liu Minyi looked up at Qi Rongxiao in disbelief, "How could you do this? Even if she is of a higher grade than me, she is just a country woman..."
