Chapter 549

Looking at Qingwei, who was crying into tears, Mrs. Hou was distressed, coaxed for a while, and saw that she finally stopped her tears, and wiped her face with a copper basin filled with warm water, and recombed her hair for her, and then turned around and walked out of the room.

"No matter how shrewd you are in the Ulanala clan, but there is such a fool around here, who wants to use our family as a gunman for you, bah......" Seeing Hou Pozi walk away, the sadness on Qingwei's face was swept away, and she looked at the bracelet on her wrist with a smile and scolded in a low voice.

Mrs. Hou is such a fool who wants to go to the flower house to buy flower seeds, which naturally has her reminder, the manager of the flower house is also from the Li family, as long as Mrs. Hou and the people of the Li family are right, she doesn't need to worry too much about the things in the future, and she can smoothly provoke the contradiction between the Wulanala clan and the Li family!

If the Wulanala clan wooed the Niu Hulu clan before, don't look at Qingwei not on the spot, but she can guess seven or eight points, but she has no confidence in Niu Hulu's IQ, and she is afraid that she will wake up Niu Hulu, but she will be ruined by the impulsive and irritable Niu Hulu, so she has made some small moves behind her back, so that her own personality can benefit without needing to come out.

Actually, this is also what she thought of on a whim, when she was flattering Mrs. Hou, she really wanted to let her own Gege take a ride on the Wulanala clan, regardless of whether the Wulanala clan was old and decrepit and fell out of favor, but in the end, it was the Fujin in the house, the housewife of the mansion, as long as there was the Wulanala clan, it was Niu Hulu's family who was not angry, and he could always be familiar with the face in front of the fourth master, and he had some face in the house.

And the kindness she was saved by Niu Hulu's Eniang can also be repaid.

At the beginning, she was a palace maid next to a noble person in the palace, although the life was not beautiful, but it was definitely smooth, the old emperor was getting older and older, and the palace concubines in the inner palace were no longer competing for favor, for these things that served the old emperor, the four concubines were too lazy to pay attention to them, and even very tolerant, whether it was food, clothing, housing or transportation, it was far higher than the share, and she also accumulated a lot of good things in her hands, which were appreciated by the noble master she followed when he was in a good mood.

Originally, she planned to use this thing to please the palace maid and the aunt in charge of the fourth concubine, begging for a grace and getting married earlier, but she didn't want to entrust someone else, obviously she was a biological sister, but at the moment of interest, her sister, who had been cared for since she was a child, actually took her things and begged for a way out of the palace.

If it was alone, she wouldn't hate her so much.

Left and right are her own sisters, she originally wanted to leave the palace with her sister, but she was cheated by her sister before she could tell her sister, and after her sister got the quota for leaving the palace, she was worried that Qingwei would settle accounts with her sister in the future, so she directly stole a dragon-patterned jade pendant that the old man Kangxi gave to the nobleman and framed it for Qingwei, intending to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

This dragon pattern jade pendant is a taboo thing, and it is a love object on the tip of the nobleman's heart, Qingwei, who has always been regarded by the nobles as his own, was found to have stolen such a thing, that is, the nobleman wanted to cover it for her, and there was nothing she could do, not to mention that the nobleman lost the dragon pattern jade pendant that the old man Kangxi rewarded, and suddenly lost the sacred heart, and resented Qingwei in her heart, so naturally she didn't have the heart to cover it up for her.

Qingwei, who was innocently framed, was caught by the guards before she could react and sent to the Shen Penal Division, that is, when her life was hanging by a thread, the little eunuch who had inadvertently formed a good relationship between her and Niu Hulu's Eniang pulled the line for her, Niu Hulu's Eniang valued her in such a sinister environment in the palace and could live smoothly, and finally saved her life, although she saved her life, but her original life and family could not be saved, she could only replace the surname of a girl from a family who was unwilling to let her children enter the palace to suffer, and became the most trusted palace maid around Niu Hulu's side。

"Whew!" Although she no longer regards her sister as a relative, but when she thinks of her sister who she has taken with her since she was a child and loved her to kill her, Qingwei still can't figure it out, and she doesn't feel very comfortable in her heart, so she can't help but sigh, and it happens to be heard by Mrs. Hou, who came back from pouring water.

Mrs. Hou gently put down the copper basin in her hand, raised her hand and patted Qingwei's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you, don't you want to be a daughter to your aunt, right?"

After speaking, Mrs. Hou pretended to be serious and raised her face.

Qingwei was naturally busy explaining whether it was or not, but she was a little worried about her brothers and sisters at home, and she was afraid that her parents at home would be dissatisfied with her private confession/mother's affairs, so she sighed sadly.

Mrs. Hou just took a fancy to Qingwei's filial piety, but she didn't blame her, but comforted her again and again, and even said that she would accompany her home when she was free and explain to her parents in person, which coaxed Qingwei to show a reluctant smile.

Qingwei hurriedly shirked herself, if she let Mrs. Hou go to the house, then the words she said before would not be exposed, "Where is the need to bother my aunt, I think my family will not care about my affairs." After speaking, she also deliberately pulled out an exaggerated smile to reassure Mrs. Hou, as if she didn't want to cause trouble to Mrs. Hou.

With such a caring goddaughter here, Mrs. Hou smiled happily, where would she say more about these unhappy things that made Qingwei embarrassed, so she quickly changed the topic, and talked about the two dishes that were already cold on the table, and muttered with some disgust, "Why did this old Ge's family go for so long, don't hang it halfway!"

Qingwei didn't like Mrs. Hou's behavior of talking about people behind her back, but she didn't directly refute and teach her, she only explained with a smile, and then squatted on the table to light the charcoal stove, "Aunt Ge is a chattering person, but she is not an ignorant of the rules, I think the big kitchen is busy, and I don't have much money for her, so it's delayed." ”

The red peat stove in the wing room is not used by Niu Hulu's family, but it is just to give them these palace maids to heat a leftovers, although it is inconvenient to use a copper kettle to get it, but it is better than eating cold, and it can also be used for heating in winter, so Qingwei and others use it very carefully, and they have to clean it up carefully every time they use it, and they have used it for two years in a blink of an eye, and it is still so intact.

After Qingwei came, she paid for a small copper pot by herself, even if this charcoal stove has completely become a treasure in the eyes of these palace maids, some little palace maids are not even qualified to touch it, so the work of this hot dish and hot meal falls on Qingwei and the other two second-class palace maids.

No, as soon as Qingwei lit the charcoal stove, the two little palace maids who had just left their heads didn't know where to get out, looking at the two meat dishes on the table that were cold, but still fragrant, they were so anxious that they circled around her, and there was a third-class palace maid who was more courageous, and she had already made her own decision to find Mrs. Ge outside without waiting for Qingwei's instructions.

"Oh, I said Lanzi, don't drag me, okay, my old arms and legs can't catch up with your legs and feet. Before the water on the charcoal stove boiled, Mrs. Ge's voice came in from outside, and the two little palace maids who were circling around Qingwei hurriedly ran out, took the basket that Mrs. Ge was carrying, and ran back to the wing room with a smile.

Ge Pozi is a good hand, not only bought a small half basket of green leafy vegetables, but also bought two potatoes and a few sweet potatoes, Qingwei smiled when she saw this thing, sure enough, she let Ge Pozi go right, if Hou Pozi went, I am afraid that she would not buy sweet potatoes.

However, Qingwei didn't show it, but got up and moved out of the way, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's all try Aunt Hou's craftsmanship." ”

Although Aunt Hou is very arrogant on weekdays, her cooking skills are really good, especially this kind of back-to-the-pot dish, even if it is not as good as the big chefs in the restaurant, it is much higher than Qingwei and others.

In the past, Aunt Hou rarely did this kind of guy, firstly, this kind of back-to-the-pot dish made with a charcoal stove, which really has no technical content, just fold everything inside, and secondly, this smell of oily smoke, washing hands and faces can not be washed at all, can only take a bath, laundry, and their servants can only use cold water most of the time to take a bath, this time the weather has just seen warm, she really does not want to suffer this crime.

However, she was in a good mood this time, but she didn't shirk it, she squatted directly in front of the charcoal stove, cut the half of the flower chicken with scissors, and told Qingwei to peel the potatoes, then put some oil in the small copper pot, add some seasonings and stir-fry fragrant, then poured the cut potato pieces into the copper pot, and stewed with the flower chicken, the ribs, she didn't move, she planned to leave it to the second-class palace maid who was waiting in the upper room to eat, green vegetables, she planned to use the remaining soup to simmer and simmer for a while, as for the sweet potatoes, and finally throw them into the charcoal stove and roast them, which can be eaten as snacks and meals。

After about a stick of incense, the copper pot came out with aroma, and Mrs. Hou took a piece of potato out and tasted it, and said to the little palace maids watching next to her with a smile: "Okay, don't just look at it, take out the brown rice, and eat it directly on the rice, it is very fragrant." ”

This is also Mrs. Ge's thoughtfulness, and by the way, she took back all the food of the servants in their yard, otherwise she would have to go to the big kitchen, not to mention, this order is not enough for the big guys.

Qingwei took the lead in serving the two second-class maids and Yudie who were still serving in the upper room, and put out a plate of stewed potatoes called flower chicken, and left a plate of vegetarian fried vegetables, so that the rest was distributed to the big guys, and she, like the big guys, directly served a bowl of brown rice, and ate it with a spoonful of stew.

With Qingwei as an example, even if others are not satisfied with her distribution, they can only eat like this, of course, no one will be dissatisfied, after all, in this courtyard, except for Qingwei and Yudie, there are not many other people's portions, even if there are vegetables, they are vegetarian dishes, even Hou Pozi and Ge Pozi are the same, they can eat a piece of meat at this time, and the big guys think it's good.

"After a few days, all the vegetables on the market will come down, and we will pickle some vegetables too. Qingwei ate the rice in the bowl in two bites, brushing her own chopsticks while smiling and saying to other people who hadn't finished eating.

"That's a good dare, and it also saves you from having no food when you miss a meal in the future. As the Hou Pozi who has been on an errand in the yard for the longest time, she is most in favor of Qingwei's proposal.

The big kitchen in this house, although I don't want to say that the food is not left in the dining room of the palace, but the time to get food is late, there will always be only vegetable soup with rice, and the feelings of these palace maids who are on errands in the courtyard of Gege are the most obvious, because there are small kitchens in the courtyards of Fang Fujin and Chang Fujin, and the daily portions of vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and other ingredients are sent directly over, so even if they can't catch up with the meal, they can also get something to eat by themselves, after all, the ingredients provided in the house every day are inexhaustible, don't you see that the stewards and eunuchs in the small kitchens are eating fat and big！

"Okay, then I'll talk to Gege another day, and maybe Gege will give us some money to buy some vegetables to prepare. Qingwei will not miss this opportunity to brush her favorability, and said with a smile.

Although others doubted whether what Qingwei said could come true, they would not say anything at this time, and nodded with a smile, indicating that his own Gege was the best master in the world, but in fact, what he thought in his heart, it was unknown.

After all, Niu Hulu's arrogant performance before was really not a good master.

Qingwei smiled and put the dishes and chopsticks back to their original places, and rinsed her mouth while drinking the strong tea made with tea foam, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in me, it's rare for us to be on an errand together, this is also fate, I, the big palace maid in our courtyard, can't help but come out." ”

After speaking, she wiped her face and went back to the upper room to come over for dinner for Yudie and the other two second-class palace maids, which is why she ate so fast, it is rare to have a tooth sacrifice, and they can't be allowed to eat cold rice and cold dishes again!

She finished eating here, in fact, Niu Hulu's side also finished eating, not that Niu Hulu's ate fast, but that she had to do it again and go to the big kitchen to buy some vegetables, and she had to talk to Mrs. Hou for a long time, so it took a lot of time.

"Gege, let them go down to eat!" As soon as she entered the upper room, Qingwei put down the food box that Yudie was carrying in her hand and said with a smile.

Niu Hulu naturally would not refuse Qingwei's proposal, and she also wanted to talk to Qingwei in private, so that Yudie and the others could hear, so she smiled and waved her hand, urging: "Okay, then you can go quickly, come and serve after eating, there is nothing to do on my side." ”

After speaking, she motioned to Qingwei to hand over the food box to Yudie to take down, called Qingwei into the inner room, sat directly behind the embroidery frame, and softly instructed Qingwei to divide the thread for her, bowed her head and started needlework.

Entering the house from Niu Hulu's family, although she also did some needlework, and the handkerchief or other small bits and pieces in her hand were embroidered by herself, but this was the first time she embroidered the screen, so she was a little nervous, for fear that the craftsmanship would be unfamiliar, and she did not directly embroider the shepherd boy on the embroidery frame that had drawn the bottom of the cow picture, but took a purse and embroidered it carefully.

"Gege, the letter has been sent, according to the old lady's habits, it is estimated that the letter will be sent back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, what else are you worried about!" Qingwei has not been by Niu Hulu's side for a long time, but she knows Niu Hulu's nervous habits very well, looking at Niu Hulu's way of looking up from time to time, she said with a smile.

When Niu Hulu heard this, he shook his head with a smile, and explained softly: "I'm not worried about E-Niang, E-Niang has been in charge of the house for so many years, and she can naturally fiddle with the little things in the house, I am thinking about Bao'er, I really didn't think it before, but now I know that Fujin will not treat Bao'er badly, and Mama will do her best for that rich reward, but I always feel that I can't let go, this feels really strange, no wonder E-Niang always said that I had a child, and I probably understood her and Amma's hard work." ”

Qingwei lowered her head and sent a pale pink silk thread, and then said: "Gege is a loving mother, and she failed to raise the little master herself, so she naturally thinks about the little master in her heart.

However, Fu Jin didn't let you go to see the little master more when you were fine, so since you are concerned, why don't you go over and walk around, and you can do this needlework anywhere. ”

After listening to Niu Hulu, although he was a little tempted, he still suppressed the idea of wanting to go to the main courtyard, shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "The rules of the main courtyard are big, I always go over there as a Gege, but Fujin is not careful, I am afraid that others will also talk about it, rather than plainly provoking others to discuss, I might as well be patient for a few days and wait for Bao'er to come back." ”

After speaking, he stopped talking, bowed his head and continued to embroider the purse.

Qingwei also knew that her proposal was unreliable, what she said meant was to test Niu Hulu's family, if Niu Hulu's was confused and fell for the Wulanala clan, she would really have to persuade her hard, but seeing that Niu Hulu's was holding back the worry about the child in her heart, and doing needlework with a lonely face, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she stopped talking, and only concentrated on dividing the thread for Niu Hulu's.

————————

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Niu Hulu's learning is smart, and there is Qingwei to help her, for a while, but it won't cause any trouble, and there is no need for the Ulanala clan to worry more, so that the Ulanala clan feels that the chess piece she picked out is a very clever choice, but her happiness really didn't last long, just after taking a nap, she didn't wait for a sip of tea to wake up when she heard the noise outside, and then looked at the room, even Mama Fu, who had been waiting for her in the past, was not there, when she landed, her eyebrows were wrinkled, she put on her robe, and she pulled on her shoes and came to the door of the room, and shouted coldly: "Who is this so unruly, what does it look like to shout and scream, if you don't want to be on an errand in the main courtyard, go to Mama Fu, don't make a fuss here!"

Qi Xiang, who was caught and had her hair crooked, heard the movement of the Wulanala clan, and couldn't care about the identity of the person in front of her anymore, pushed the person away, and quickly returned to the side of the Wulanala clan, bowed down and said, "Master, you are up!"

Wulanala squinted at Qi Xiang, who was not in good shape, and snorted very dissatisfied, but he didn't drop her in front of the people in the courtyard and the face of her big palace maid, but turned around and went straight into the hall, and when Qi Xiang covered the door of the hall, he asked coldly, "What's going on?"

"Back to the master's words, it was the master's mother's Sanfujin and Pearl Gege who came over. Qi Xiang was also very helpless, she thought that even if her master was dissatisfied, it should be dissatisfied with the trouble, but she didn't want her master to notice the appearance of the person who came, but sprinkled all the anger on her.

Wulanala really didn't notice who it was, firstly, because she had just woken up, and her eyes were uncomfortable, and secondly, she was standing at the door against the light, and when she raised her eyes, it was all white, if it weren't for Qi Xiang coming up to come to see her, she wouldn't be able to see Qi Xiang, so when she heard Qi Xiang say it at this time, she was also a little flustered, and couldn't help but ask: "Sanfujin?

"It's Sanfujin and Pearl Gege. Qi Xiang leaned over and said.

As the head of the house, Fujin, her mother's family wants to come into the house, as long as she sends a post, no one dares to refuse it, and she can even enter and exit the fourth master's mansion without a word, but her mother and several aunts know the rules, but no one has ever done such a foolish thing！

No matter how dissatisfied Sanfujin and Pearl were in his heart, the Wulanala clan could only endure it at this time, forcibly suppressed his anger, and commanded softly: "That's my rudeness, why didn't you come to tell me earlier, it's true! You go and arrange for Sanfujin and Pearl Gege to drink tea in the wing room first, and I'll clean up and go over." ”

After speaking, she waved her hand and walked straight to the inner room, not even asking why Sanfujin and Pearl had a dispute with Qi Xiang and them, only blaming Qi Xiang and others for not serving well, it can be seen that her heart is still biased towards her mother's family, but she doesn't want Qi Xiang and others to be servants, even if she has a big face in the house, if it weren't for her mother's family to bully people too much, Qi Xiang and they will not conflict with the Wulanala family's mother's family, even if they are bold.

Qi Xiang watched Wulanala enter the inner room, touched the arm that was twisted by Sanfujin, grinned silently, shook his head with a wry smile, respectfully retired, and exited the upper room.

After a while, the Wulanala clan re-dressed up, took Qi Xiang and other palace maids, and came to the wing, who let the bright face, this Sanfujin is her elder, don't look at her high status, but in this era of filial piety, she can only come to the wing room in person to greet this Sanfujin.

It's just that she didn't expect that when she was ready to talk to this Sanfujin as a junior, she, the 'Santang Aunt', dug a pit for her, so that she didn't even have a chance to refuse The moment she entered the door, she directly made a half-squat salute, and said with a glance: "The concubine asks for peace for Sifujin, and Sifujin is auspicious!"
