urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 230

Mrs. Qing knew that she was still waiting for Zhuangzi's future to deliver New Year's goods to relatives and friends.

But she couldn't take it.

She also desperately needs money now, and only money can bring her a sense of security.

Therefore, she is not going to spit out the silver in her hand.

Even though Qing Xiangying was worrying about the New Year's ceremony in front of her, she just pretended that she didn't hear her words.

Mrs. Qing was still muttering in her heart: You treat me like a fool, you have been taking over the handover for more than ten years, how can you be greedy for [-] to [-] silver, right?
Thinking about his own dowry, together with the silver he had stolen from the public for more than 20 years, it was at least fifty or sixty thousand silver.

She didn't dare to reach out too far to the public, the mother-in-law above her was not easy to mess with.

Fortunately, the Qing family has a son of his own, and his son is not only good-looking, but also has outstanding literary talent.

But it's not that there are no bastards, it's just that even if a bastard is born, he won't live long.

For Brother Hui's sake, the mother-in-law turned a blind eye to her.

Mrs. Qing also changed the topic very cleverly, and complained by the way: "Hey, I really regret that I let Brother Hui marry the funeral star surnamed Wen. Now that something happened to the Wen family, she actually said that she wanted to get married."

"If this is a divorce, others will definitely suspect that I, a mother-in-law, can't tolerate her, and they will think that Brother Hui despises her."

"What's more, she is still pregnant. I am in a dilemma. Now I can only make offerings to her like a bodhisattva. I just hope that she can calm down and give birth to a child safely."

In fact, according to Mrs. Qing's thinking, her family lost her ancestral title and her home was ransacked because she married Wen Huitian.

According to her thinking, it must be to divorce his wife immediately.

But both her husband and son said that they could not divorce their wives, otherwise Qing Haohui's reputation would be bad.

Treating Ms. Wen well now, the crime is not as bad as being a married woman, being implicated by Yue's family, but still being kind to his wife. Speaking of it, Qing Haohui will be praised as a gentleman.

Now that she thinks about it, she regrets it: "If Qin Mu had allowed Qin Mu to marry her, then the Qing family would not have ended up like this."

"Who would have thought that Wen Shangshu would be so courageous?" Qing Xiangying felt a little guilty when she heard this. After all, she was the one who didn't want Qin Mu to marry a noble girl, and she was afraid that Wen Huitian would marry Qin Mu and would marry her. To rob the inner courtyard, I was also afraid that Wen Shangshu would support his son-in-law.

But even now, Qing Xiangying is still rejoicing in her heart, fortunately Qin Mu did not marry Wen Huitian, otherwise the Xuanping Hou Mansion would be ransacked.

This dead fellow Taoist is not a poor Taoist, at worst she helps her natal family more.

So she talked about the body of the elders: "My parents and aunt were all crushed by the accident, Doctor An said to take good care of them!"

Mrs. Qing also echoed the situation: "No, no one would have expected such a thing to happen. I also held on and dared not fall down."

She knew that after Qing Xiangying heard what she said, she would never bring up the matter of money.

The two talked about gossip outside again.

After all, there were quite a few wealthy families who were unlucky this time, and the Qing family wasn't too miserable, at least they still had a place to stay.

Other people borrow money everywhere, or go to the Yue family for help, or go to the other courtyard where relatives and friends are staying in every three days, to borrow money or something.

When it was time for dinner, Xuan Pinghou also came back for dinner with his brother-in-law and Qing Haohui, and wanted to discuss the banquet with them by the way.

Mu Zhaozhao also came over with the maids on his back feet, and said nicely: "I'll serve my mother for dinner."

"You have a heart." Qing Xiangying was very surprised when she saw her. After all, the daughter-in-law here is not really filial, so why would she come to serve her dinner?

"But your body is important. You don't need to come over in the future. If you fall, it will be too late to regret."

In fact, she also didn't want to see Mu Zhaozhao standing in front of her, affecting her appetite.

And if she wasn't there, they could talk a lot more freely.

Now that she was here, they couldn't say some things.

Soon, the maids came in carrying food boxes.

When the dishes came to the table, they smelled hot and sour, but they didn't know a few dishes.

Mu Zhaozhao, who had done his homework in advance, hurriedly introduced to them: "Our family slaughtered pigs today, so I asked the kitchen to make pig-killing dishes."

"This is stewed pork vermicelli, this is fried pork belly, stir-fried pork liver, fried pork lung with chili, five-spice pork large intestine, and white meat with garlic paste."

Pointing to the largest pot in the middle: "This is stewed blood tofu with sauerkraut and pork belly."

Regretfully said: "It's just that I bought it a bit late, otherwise I could add a dish of braised pig's trotters and braised pig's head."

He greeted them warmly: "Father and mother, Master Qing and Mrs. Qing, please take a seat quickly, this dish must be eaten while it is hot."

Mu Zhaozhao was particularly enthusiastic: "By the way, I have prepared good wine."

Qing Xiangying finally realized what was on the table, her face changed suddenly, and she said angrily, "Mu Zhaozhao, how do you manage the kitchen? Just let us eat these unsightly things."

In fact, when the founding queen of the Daqing Dynasty, pig offal was used as an appetizer in some restaurants.

But it is very troublesome to clean quickly.

In addition, these pigs are a test of the chef's cooking skills, otherwise they will easily smell fishy, ​​making people reluctant to take a second bite.

Like Xuan Ping Hou and Master Qing, they have actually tasted these dishes outside, and they don't mind serving these unappetizing dishes on the table.

But like Qing Xiangying and Mrs. Qing, when they thought about what these things were, they would kill them rather than eat those stinky things.

Mu Zhaozhao looked at Qing Xiangying with an innocent face, as if he was frightened by her: "Mother, my daughter-in-law also wants to be diligent and thrifty in managing the house, why are you so angry?"

He quickly explained: "Mother, don't worry, this taste is very good. Who would have thought that there is a chef who is good at cooking pigs in our house? He was buried in his good cooking skills before, so let him do it a few more times in the future." , I think the son will definitely like it."

In fact, Qin Muxi didn't know if she didn't like her, but she really liked it, and she wanted to dig this chef into her small kitchen.

It's a pity that I already have a small kitchen with my sister-in-law Lan, and their experience is quite special, and they may be a little bit against working with male chefs.

But when she thought that the chef could not only cook pigs, but also roast whole sheep and meat, she felt that she had to take over the hand-feeding as soon as possible.

You can't have two kitchens in your own yard, can you?
Xuan Pinghou really thought that his daughter-in-law took over the kitchen to save some money, but she was not really a noble girl, and suspected that her hometown used butchered vegetables to entertain guests.

So I wanted to smooth things over: "Ma'am, you can only eat what you can eat. This pork stewed vermicelli is good. You can eat a bowl and save even the rice."

Of course Qing Xiangying didn't want to just let it go, she was furious: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have agreed to let the son marry an ignorant woman like her, fortunately, it's all from my own family, if there are guests, don't let them Laugh your teeth out?"

Mu Zhaozhao has long understood that her mother-in-law looks down on her.

But what's funny is that it was she who planned behind her back that she fell into the water and was rescued by Qin Mu, and that's why she made the engagement so quickly.

Besides, their Cheng'anbo mansion no longer exists, the Qing family is not as good as the Meng family now?

I don't know who gave her the confidence to make her feel that her natal family is a noble family.

"Mother, you only gave me 50 taels of silver." Mu Zhaozhao was waiting for this moment: "You still asked me to make arrangements for the New Year. What kind of delicious dishes did you ask your daughter-in-law to prepare? Daughter-in-law is such a clever daughter-in-law that she can't cook without rice?"

"My daughter-in-law wants to use the dowry to make up for it, but where will the Marquis and the son be?"

"After all, father and son are both upright gentlemen, good men who stand up to heaven and earth. If others find out that they are using my dowry, I'm afraid they will be ashamed?"

Speaking of which, she felt that the founding empress of the Daqing Dynasty was really a sage, and that the dowry that was added to the law belonged only to the woman herself.

Of course, in the future, if you want to leave it to your children or subsidize your mother’s family, subsidize your husband or your husband’s family, as long as you are willing, no one can question it.

She felt that even if she separated from Qin Mu, with her generous dowry, she could live a leisurely life.

Of course, if Qin Mu is not greedy and lustful, and can live in harmony with herself, then she will not have any thoughts of cheating on her.

When Qing Xiangying heard Mu Zhaozhao's words, she cried inwardly, but her tone softened a lot, and said angrily, "Okay, I don't have enough money, so just come and tell me, do you need to be so stingy?" ?”

She didn't expect Mu Zhaozhao to be so stingy, knowing that she wanted to use the dowry to make up for it, not only was she unwilling, she even dared to yell like this.

If she was more generous and quietly used the dowry to make up for one or two, then she could also gain a good reputation for being virtuous and capable.

But if she said this, Lord Hou would definitely hold him accountable.

Now she is hoping that Mu Zhaozhao will accept him as soon as he sees a deal, and go down the donkey along the slope, so that she can make things right this time.

They will not pursue the matter of Mu Zhaozhao letting them eat butchered vegetables.

But Mu Zhaozhao is obviously a person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

What's more, she was involved in this matter by herself.

Mu Zhaozhao just looked at her with the expression that you don't want to hide it from me, and his tone was very sincere: "Mother, we are a family, why should we talk about two different languages? If you don't hold hands together, the daughter-in-law can also move." Five or six thousand taels of silver, if not enough, I'll go back and borrow some..."

"That's enough! What nonsense are you talking about!" Qing Xiangying was terrified when she heard it, and hurriedly interrupted her: "I won't say all of it, I just want to test your housekeeper's ability, so I only give you that little money."

Especially when she saw Xuan Pinghou looking at her inquisitively, her back was dripping with cold sweat, and she could only bite herself to death because she wanted to try Mu Zhaozhao's ability.

Now that the trouble has come to this point, she really regrets it to death.

Didn't I already know that Mu Zhaozhao has a bluffing temper, knowing that she is not a virtuous person who will suffer, why was he persuaded by his sister-in-law to let her be the housekeeper?

Mu Zhaozhao saw her flustered look, seeing her wandering eyes and not daring to look at her father, the villain in his heart applauded himself: Zhaozhao, you are awesome, once again you have cleaned up the bad woman who wanted to use your money.
