urge Zhao to marry
Chapter 229
Chapter 229
She looked up and found that they were all quietly looking at herself.
Mu Zhaozhao also knew in his heart that these must be Mrs. Hou's confidantes, and if he wanted to see a good show, he had to keep an eye on them.
She put the list on the table: "You don't need to buy anything else, just go and buy a pig, along with five hundred catties of Chinese cabbage and one hundred catties of radishes."
Then he looked at Mint: "Give him ten taels of silver."
The manager of the purchase was stunned there: "Huh? Well, I'm afraid these ten taels of silver are not enough?"
Mint immediately said: "Pork is usually [-] Wen a catty, and a pig will not exceed [-] Jin. If you calculate it at [-] Jin, it will be [-] Wen, or [-]."
"Even if the Chinese New Year is approaching and there is heavy snowfall, the price of goods has risen, so it is estimated that the price has doubled, and it is only seven taels of silver."
"In addition, Chinese cabbage and radish usually cost two or three Wen a catty. Now if the price has risen sharply, you should buy less."
Mint thought he was stupid: "Anyway, after buying the pigs, the rest of the money can be used to buy cabbage and radishes."
"Yes, I'll go now, little one." The steward took over the ten taels of silver with an aggrieved face, thinking: "Okay, you're amazing, I'll just wait for my wife to take care of you."
Mu Zhaozhao saw that he looked slack, obviously he didn't take himself seriously, and he came up with a good idea as soon as he rolled his eyes.
She said: "By the way, remember to buy live pigs, so that there will be an atmosphere of killing pigs for the New Year."
"What?" The steward suspected that he had heard it wrong, and when she saw her nodding to him affirmatively, he was shocked, "It's not easy to bring a live pig back?"
When he thought of a screaming pig behind him, he felt bad.
Mu Zhaozhao raised his chin and snorted: "It would be better if you tied it tightly, you are too bad at living, and that pig's blood is another good dish with some sauerkraut, and the pig's intestines are just used to make glutinous rice sausages. There are pig hearts, lungs and livers that are all appetizers."
In fact, she seldom eats them.
Fortunately, I had an idea and remembered that when I was celebrating the New Year at home in the past, most people arranged the New Year pig clearly and clearly in this way.
The manager of the purchase looked desperate, and wanted to struggle again: "Concubine Shizi, there is no butcher in the house? Why don't you ask Madam?"
Mu Zhaozhao waved his hand: "There is a bad nursing home in the mansion, please come and help. I believe that even if there is no pig butcher, it is not enough to eat hairy pigs."
Seeing the sour face of the shop manager, she felt very happy, looked at Zhichun and said, "Send the manager to the second gate, and let Zi Xiao arrange for someone to follow him to help."
Everyone knew in their hearts that it was fake to give him a hand, but it was real to stare at him.
With a sullen face, Mu Zhaozhao sneered, "Don't take me seriously. Ma'am is now letting me take care of the kitchen. If you're obedient to others, don't blame me for making an example of others."
After speaking, he touched his still flat stomach: "I don't believe it, Madam will blame me for you."
Now, everyone's heart trembled.
Indeed, even though Mu Zhaozhao came from an unappreciated background, she is now a concubine, and she is still a concubine who is pregnant. It is true that they, who usually have a bit of face in front of their wives, can't be provoked.
Moreover, the son is not easy to provoke, and the son is serving beside the Holy One, and now he is still highly valued by the Holy One, so he can follow the disaster relief.
What if you come back and find that the concubine Shizi has been wronged, become angry and become a beauty, and cut off their heads?
Furthermore, even if they have face in front of the wife, their children are all in the mansion. If the concubine becomes Mrs. Hou in the future, if they offend the concubine severely, they will not leave a way for their children.
Therefore, the other manager of purchasing was much smarter, and did not take out the list that the original wife asked him to buy fine wine, brown sugar and white sugar, and silver frost charcoal, but said respectfully: "Shizifei, this old servant is here. I need to buy fifty bundles of firewood, as well as some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."
Mu Zhaozhao didn't care whether he was scolding himself or not, anyway, he acted like this, as long as he looked pleasing to the eye: "Give him five taels of silver."
Mint gave him five taels of silver.
The remaining three stewards looked at me and I looked at you, and they were a little afraid to speak.
Mu Zhaozhao, however, saw that they were silent, and became impatient: "What are you doing here? If you have something to talk about, just leave if you have nothing to do."
The fat woman blushed, and said in a babbling voice: "Concubine Shizi, this old slave is good at making desserts, but all the dried fruits that are used in the snacks are gone, do you see?"
"Oh, there's no rush." Mu Zhaozhao waved his hand: "There must be some leftovers in the kitchen, so do whatever you can."
Anyway, when Madam Hou and the others saw the lunch meal, they might be full of gas and wouldn't be in the mood to eat.
The fat woman immediately complied, and left with a smile.
If she didn't leave, she was worried that the concubine Shizi would torment herself if she had nothing to do, and if she asked herself to peel melon seeds to make melon seed cakes, she would be asking for guilt.
Another woman wants to buy all kinds of fresh fruits.
Mu Zhaozhao also shook his head: "The price of fresh fruit is not low now, I have to ask my mother about it."
Anyway, don't expect her to take a penny out of her purse.
The mother-in-law didn't dare to say anything more.
Although they felt that the concubine Shizi was incompetent before, forcing Guanshi Li to buy live pigs was enough to change their attitude.
After living to this age, even if they were praised by others before, they are still able to bend and stretch in front of their master.
The other woman wanted to buy all kinds of groceries, but Mu Zhaozhao didn't think it mattered. If she didn't eat a meal, she would die, so the woman left without saying a word.
Mu Zhaozhao signaled Hongxiu and the three of them to follow. Anyway, before the pork was on the table, she didn't want to let Mrs. Hou get the news.
Seeing that they all left quickly, Mu Zhaozhao was still making trouble, and sighed regretfully: "Why don't they persist? I still want to fight them wits and courage?"
Nurse Wen, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but speak: "Concubine Shizi, you are forcing people to buy live pigs. With that young bird around, who dares to continue to quarrel with you?"
It's her, I admire her so much in my heart, how could Shi Zifei come up with such a bad idea?
Mu Zhaozhao looked at her begging for praise, "Nurse, am I very capable? Am I born to be a good housekeeper?"
No matter how eccentric Wen Momo is, she can't nod against her conscience.
However, Shi Zifei's actions made her want to follow along to watch the fun.
Zisu finally seized the opportunity to say something: "Concubine Shizi, is the pig's blood stewed with sauerkraut really delicious? And can the intestines in the pig's belly be eaten?"
She is a child of a family and works as a servant, so she can't eat some strong food, for fear of making indecent noises or poisonous gas.
Furthermore, there is no such thing as glutinous rice sausage in the capital, so this is really the first time Zisu has heard of it.
When it came to food, Mu Zhaozhao got excited: "It's quite delicious, it's the meat sausage from the capital."
"Anyway, the people in the big kitchen will probably dislike the stuff in the pig's stomach. When you go and ask for it later, let's let the sister-in-law and the others try it out."
The main reason is that she herself is responsible for eating, not doing the hands. I don't know whether there is more glutinous rice and less water in the glutinous rice sausage, or whether there is more water and less glutinous rice to taste.
Zisu nodded vigorously with a smile: "The servant will go and watch it later, lest they waste all the good things."
Mu Zhaozhao couldn't help joking after hearing this: "Just you, maybe this is the first time you've seen a live pig? Wait until the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, so don't cry in fright."
Hearing what she said, Zisu became even more curious, and immediately said: "It's just for the slaves to learn a lot and practice their courage."
Mu Zhaozhao gave her a thumbs up: "It's really smart, then you can tell everyone in our yard who wants to watch the excitement to go."
Then he asked Nurse Wen narrowly, "Do you want to go along and see?"
Sister Wen always remained steady: "The old lady won't join in the fun."
The concubine must not let the concubine find out that she is afraid of seeing blood. Otherwise, according to the concubine's mischievous temperament, she will live in peace in this world, and there will be scenes of killing chickens and ducks from time to time.
Mu Zhaozhao was a little regretful: "The scene of killing pigs was very lively, but unfortunately I am pregnant now, so I can't watch it."
But at this moment, in the upper courtyard of the main room, Qing Xiangying chatted with her sister-in-law while waiting for her to reply.
But seeing that it was almost noon, none of them spoke back and forth, which made her a little puzzled.
After Mrs. Qing knew what she was thinking, she didn't take it seriously: "I'm afraid it's her first time in charge of the kitchen, so she asked more carefully. When they returned, it was getting late, so they were busy cooking. I guess it was because I wanted to Call back in the afternoon."
Qing Xiangying still felt that something was wrong, so she asked her maid to look in the kitchen, and then went to find out what Shi Zifei was doing.
She really wanted to know if Mu Zhaozhao took out the dowry money.
If she compromises this time, then next time she can still make an idea of her dowry.
It's not that she's greedy, it's just that she heard her sister-in-law here say that Zhiqing is not too young, no matter who she is marrying into, she must have a few dowries to support her face, right?
She also became anxious when she heard this. This is indeed an imminent event.
After all, it is very likely that Zhiqing was married from Xuanping Hou Mansion, if her dowry is too poor, then she will lose face.
Thinking about it this way, I thought of the scenery when Mu Zhaozhao entered the house. The 68 sets of dowries were full.
What made her jealous the most were the two shops left by Qin Mu's mother, which were also given to Mu Zhaozhao by Qin Mu as a betrothal gift.
There is also the Meng family's dowry, there are farms and other courtyards, it is really richer than her original dowry, no wonder she is suffering from jealousy.
After the maid left, she came back after a long time: "There are many maids from Shi'anju in the kitchen, so the servants didn't ask carefully, but there are several big pots in the kitchen cooking, which smell very fragrant. "
"In addition, the concubine Shizi has also been in Shi'anju, saying that she was looking at the account book, but she didn't see any slaves."
When Qing Xiangying heard this, her heart that had been hanging around finally returned to its original place, and she waved her hand to let the servant girl back down. Seeing that it was still snowing outside, she became upset: "This damn weather, this year's snow is also falling It's been too long, and the harvest and new year's goods on Zhuangzi have not arrived yet."
