The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Caiyun looked at Li Jiang holding a sharp knife with a cold light in his hand, and felt a little timid, "Madam, let him do it outside, this knife looks scary!"

Wang Guizhi laughed, and pulled Yuan Chun to sit on the stool they brought over, "What's the fun in that, you'll be proud of how fast and well he cuts." Li Jiang, "Come on, I'm going to roll up and gag the girl."

Li Jiang pursed his lips and smiled, and lifted the lid covering the duck. He deliberately showed off and played with a knife, and his skills were unambiguous, especially the meat on the duck breast. To Wang Guizhi.

"Come on, try it." Wang Guizhi took a piece first, and asked the little girl to try the original taste, then rolled some green onions with a big palm spring pancake, smeared some sauce, and put it in her mouth. "It's delicious."

Jia Yuanchun's mouth was full of fat, "They are all delicious, but the duck meat alone is a bit greasy, and it tastes better when it is rolled."

"In some places, instead of spring cake skins, lotus leaf cakes are used, or freshly baked fermented scones, which are more flavorful with some oily and spicy seeds." Wang Guizhi ate a few in a row, served with fried It's a pity that the stomach is too small to hold the bean sprouts and black chicken soup.

"Try it too, it's all clean." Wang Guizhi took the teacup handed over by Caixia, rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth and said, besides the black-bone chicken and ginkgo soup given to her by the old lady, there are also her own dishes. She asked for fried bean sprouts, chicken skin and sour bamboo shoots, and she didn't want to touch the remaining soup and six dishes. If it wasn't for rewarding the people in the house, she wanted to return it directly to the kitchen.

She wants to change the kitchen because of this, there is no reason to follow the rules and let the people in the kitchen do whatever they want, not to mention wasting money and ingredients, and you can't eat what you really want!

Seeing that there was more than half of the freshly roasted duck, and seeing the deliciousness of the wife's food, everyone was a little greedy, so they squatted down and thanked the wife for the reward, and brought them to the side room outside, and everyone ate together. Talking with Li Jiang and laughing lively, it really feels very interesting.

"After they finish eating, let's go outside for a walk. We haven't exercised yet today." Wang Guizhi stood by himself, pulling Yuan Chun to stand and describe digestion.

Caixia Caiyun was holding a small blue and white bowl to eat, laughing and chattering, a servant woman came in quietly, lowered her head and said solemnly, "Girl, Grandma Xiao is here."

"Why did she come here? But what's the matter?" Caixia put down the bowl and asked.

"Grandma Xiao didn't say anything, she just asked if my wife was free to see her."

Caiyun frowned, "If you don't ask what's going on, how can you take her to see your wife?"

"Well, she is a grandma after all, so I don't dare to ask more questions." Mi Pozi said in a low voice.

"...Forget it, please come to this room, I'll ask my wife first." Caixia pressed Caiyun, who was about to scold, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. I vomited a few times, "Hurry up and eat, too." Turning around, she straightened her clothes and went into the house. Seeing that the wife was hugging the eldest girl again and the mother and daughter were telling stories affectionately, she said with a smile, "Ma'am, you are in a good mood." Is it? Grandma Xiao is here, can you see me?"

"Grandma Xiao..." Who is it? Wang Guizhi, who almost asked the question, stopped it in time. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be Jia Xiao, the son of Jia Daihua, a descendant of the Jia family. She was a little strange, "She came What do you want me for?" In addition to New Year's sacrifices and Qingming ancestor worship, Jiamu celebrates her birthday every year.She almost couldn't remember who this person was, why did she come to her suddenly?

"I'm wondering too. She's been here before, but it's just to find the eldest lady." Caixia saw that the wife and the eldest lady no longer painted red, and there was something wrong before her, so she put the Yanghaohu pen on the blue and white cloud and dragon pattern lid jar. Wash it clean, hang it on the jasper carving pen stand, and clean up the inkstone drops, paper and ink, etc.

Then we must see each other, right?Wang Guizhi asked Caiyun to lead Yuanchun to walk around the garden, "Let's play, it doesn't matter even if you sweat, just run more." She saw the ancient mother beside her, and thought that although she was rigid, she also knew what the rules were. Great, if there is such a person who can look at it, let her follow, "You follow the girl too."

Gu Momo was so surprised that she knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Ma'am." She had done a good job in the palace, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to be the tutor of the princes and grandchildren, but she didn't know how she offended someone. I spent all the money I saved in my private house and didn't understand what was going on. I was afraid that I would lose my life, so I had to come out of the palace.At her age, she seems to have been kicked out of the palace. She has no property, so how can she be treated at home.Fortunately, I had a kiss with Ning Guorong's Grandma Zhen. I didn't expect it to be hopeful, but I didn't expect it to be done after asking. Fortunately, it was not by Grandma Zhen's brother Rong, but sent to The second wife of Xifu is here.

Grandma Zhen passed away at a young age, within a year at the most, Ningguo Mansion would definitely marry Jia Zhen again, why wouldn't the new Grandma Zhen not replace Brother Rong with one of her own?Although at the beginning his wife gave her a strong blow, but Gu Nuo didn't think there was anything wrong, it was because she didn't understand what the master was thinking.

"The slave must take good care of the eldest lady."

The eldest lady in the Rongguo Mansion, whose mother is the younger sister of the Jingying Jiedushi, has a brother who is a compatriot, and maybe has a younger brother. It is really her honor that such a person with five blessings can be her lifelong support.

Grandma Xiao was so envious that Caixia was all dressed up, but they were maids around the wife of the mansion, all wearing gold and silver, and the jade bracelet on her wrist was as green as a puddle of water, even better than hers.

"Grandma Xiao, please come in."

Being swept from top to bottom, Caixia felt very uncomfortable.

Wang Guizhi insisted on standing up to Grandma Xiao, she looked much bigger than Mrs. Wang, "Please sit down and pour some tea."

Seeing Mrs. Wang standing there waiting for her to enter the door, Grandma Xiao felt very comfortable. She felt that it was a pity that she hadn't come before. Who would have thought that the eldest lady of the Wang family would be so gentle and honest, "You are too polite! It's the first time I've come back. I didn't bring any gifts, but I took the girl to do some sewing, and please don't dislike her."

"Where is this? It would be my blessing if you can bother to think about it."Wang Guizhi took a sip of jasmine soup.

The two chatted casually, Grandma Xiao saw that Wang Guizhi was not in a hurry, she smiled dryly and said, "Madam, I heard that you want to find someone to host the old lady's birthday banquet, I don't know if this person will be appointed No? If not, my sister-in-law is a good cook..."

"Although there is no, you don't need to mention it. The birthday banquet for the old lady of the Jia family can only be held by members of the Jia family. You, don't even think about it." Wang Guizhi smiled. She thought it was something, As a result, a sheep ran from outside.

Grandma Xiao was stunned immediately, "Ma'am, what you said, I can't be considered a relative of the Jia family."

Wang Guizhi smiled silently, if he really wanted to count the Pang family, the direct branch of the Jia family, the Ning Rong Mansion would not even be able to accommodate it.

Seeing that Wang Guizhi refused to answer, Grandma Xiao wanted to say again, "Although the family can't do anything to honor your wife, there will be some left over..." She thought that Mrs. Wang must not have seen the rabbit and refused to stalk the eagle. , It's not that you want to take money out of your own hands.

"Grandma Xiao, don't say such things again. I'm just taking care of things for a few days. The people in the kitchen are all left over from serving the grandpa and the old lady. Besides, they are doing well for no reason. Why should I You need to change. Alright, Caifeng, take one of the hairpins my sister sent me a few days ago and give it to Grandma Xiao." Wang Guizhi pretended to be hard-working, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't keep you."

Grandma Xiao opened her mouth to speak again, and as soon as Caifeng put the single phoenix hairpin inlaid with silver silk and gold inlaid with sapphires into her hand, her eyes could no longer be taken away, and she was pushed out of the door lightly.

Caixia pursed her lips, "It's a pity for such a good hairpin." She took the teacup that Grandma Xiao ate up to the little girl to wash, "This is the style of Jinling, which is different from ours."

"The one on your head looks much better." Wang Guizhi nodded her twice, and continued, "Go to the kitchen and ask Li Gunian and the others directly, asking them what's going on? Their menu hasn't been delivered yet. There are people here who want to take their jobs." She shook her head, "It's weird to spread the word, does anyone think I want to change the whole kitchen? It's outrageous."

That's ridiculous, not to mention buying a slave here, even the children born here are counted as children. Weddings and funerals are paid with regular money, and driving others out casually is regarded as cutting off the livelihood of other people's families.Even when she was running a company in modern times, there was no new leader who just found an excuse to fire the old man who had accumulated many years.There is no excuse, not to mention that the labor bureau can sue casually, what will other employees think?If people are fired for no reason, who will do their best in the company.

"Yes."

Wang Guizhi ordered again, "Let them check for themselves, who stabbed it out, this tongue is too long."

"Understood." Caixia remembered this incident in her heart, and her wife always hated people who made troubles.

When Caixia came out, she saw Jia Zheng talking to Jia Zhu and going to his wife's room, so she hurriedly stood aside to say hello, "Master, master."

Seeing that it was the colorful clouds in her mother's house, Jia Zhu asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the kitchen to arrange something." Caixia replied.

"Then ask them to make two dishes and bring them over. My master and I are hungry." Jia Zhu laughed, "I met my sister just now, and she said that the roast duck she ate was delicious, so let them cook two more. He conveniently took out an ingot of broken silver from his bosom and gave it to her, "Here." Seeing that Li Wan wanted to eat a bowl of soup, he had to pay for it.

Jia Zheng frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Let's go." How dare the kitchen take money from the master for cooking?
