Traveling through time as a mother and daughter, infrastructure and delicious food are still the sam

Chapter 10 The Zhou Family Luncheon
When Zhou Yuncheng got up the next day, she felt that her waist had grown twice as thick. It must be that Cheng Ruoxi's pickled radish went too well with the rice, and she ate too much.

"Second Miss, the master sent someone to ask how your body is recovering. If you feel better, I will have lunch with everyone at noon." Xing'er said while grooming Zhou Yuncheng.

"So everyone usually eats together?" Zhou Yuncheng was a little surprised. To be honest, she has absolutely no experience in this area.Xing'er was one of the few people who knew that she had lost her memory. After all, she was a personal servant girl, so she couldn't hide it.

"No," Xing'er combed Zhou Yuncheng's hair, took the bronze mirror to show her whether she liked it, and then said, "Master has set the fifteenth day of every month, and everyone will have lunch together. Other times It's temporary."

"Today is exactly fifteen," Zhou Yuncheng said, "Will everyone participate?"

"Most of the time. If Master has something to do, he will postpone it. Madam is sometimes too busy to attend." Xing'er said.

These days, Zhou Yuncheng also got a general idea of ​​the composition of the Zhou family's personnel.It's actually quite simple.

Master Zhou's full name is Zhou Wen, and he is the same age as Cheng Ruoxi, in his prime.There is a mother on it, not her own, but Master Zhou's aunt.His own biological mother died when Zhou Wen was 15 years old.

Zhou Wen has a wife and a concubine. His wife, Cheng Ruoxi, met at the age of 15 and has been in love for a lifetime.But Cheng Ruoxi had no heirs, so Zhou Wen had to follow Zhou's mother's order to take Jiang Ningzhu as his concubine.First gave birth to a daughter, Zhou Yunning, who is Zhou Yuncheng's eldest sister.Because he is not a male, Zhou's mother asked Zhou Wen to take another concubine to spread the branches, but Zhou Wen refused.Unexpectedly, Zhou's mother sent an outer room to Zhou Wen's bed by means.This led to Zhou Yuncheng.

Later, Zhou Wen's father died, and Zhou Wen grew up gradually.Cheng Ruoxi and his business are getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou's mother can no longer force Zhou Wen to be restrained, so the matter of taking concubines is over, and she can only ask Zhou Wen to share in the rain and dew.

After a few years, Jiang Ningzhu was finally pregnant again, and Zhou's mother was looking forward to having a grandson every day.

However, the day failed Zhou's mother's wish, and Jiang Ningzhu gave birth again, still a daughter.This is Zhou Yuncheng's third sister, Zhou Yunzhu.

Mother Zhou was extremely disappointed and wanted to continue persuading Zhou Wen.But the Zhou family's love is stronger than that of gold, and Zhou's mother is getting old, and there is no way to make troubles, so she has to accept it.

Zhou Yuncheng, who can empathize with Cheng Ruoxi, has silently said in his heart countless times: the feudal cancer should be removed, and inheriting the throne is not advisable.But Master Zhou seemed to really love her very much, Zhou Yuncheng thought: Otherwise, in this era, if there is no male, wouldn't it be equivalent to an extinct one?
Before, she was glad that she didn't have to worry about these dirty things, but now, she still had to face this big family.After all, it is unreasonable for someone who goes to Prince Jing's mansion every day to not even have the strength to have a meal with his family.

In the morning, Zhou Yuncheng went to see the construction site of Prince Jing's Mansion as usual.If nothing else, just being willing to spend money, Prince Jing's mansion would hang and beat all the fathers of Party A that Zhou Yuncheng met in his previous life.

According to Zhou Yuncheng's request, they hired a lot of people, divided them into several construction teams, and worked on different working faces at the same time.

At noon, Zhou Yuncheng returned to the Zhou Mansion on time and went to the main hall for dinner.

"Second sister is here." Zhou Yuncheng had just stepped into the restaurant when a pretty girl with pink face came up to greet her.Zhou Yuncheng sized her up, her eyes were big and round like freshly washed grapes.The oval face is paired with willow-leaf eyebrows, and a small mouth that seems to be a smile is not a smile, which unexpectedly adds a bit of style.This must be the eldest sister Zhou Yunning.

"Hello, sister." Zhou Yuncheng leaned slightly, as a salute.

"Come and sit down," Zhou Yuning said, "Is your body feeling better recently?"

"Much better, thank you sister for your concern." Zhou Yuncheng said.

"I heard that Second Sister has been in the spotlight in Prince Jing's Mansion recently," Zhou Yuning said, "I wonder how things are going on there now?"

Zhou Yuncheng was about to answer, but she heard Xing'er behind her say: "Jiang Xiaoniang and Miss San are here."

As soon as the voice fell, a gorgeously dressed woman walked in.In fact, to say gorgeous is a bit underestimating, Zhou Yuncheng thinks that another word, elegant and luxurious, is more appropriate.If she and Cheng Ruoxi stood in front of him, Zhou Yuncheng thought to himself: I will definitely think this is Mrs. Zhou's.

Zhou Yunning and Zhou Yuncheng got up together and gave her a slight salute.

Jiang Ningzhu nodded slightly, and went to sit down.It was only then that Zhou Yuncheng realized that there was a thin girl behind her, wearing plain white clothes with dark lines, her whole face was thin and pale, and it was hard to tell whether it was fair complexion or malnutrition.The brows and eyes are pretty, and there is a clean and cold look in the eyes.

This is probably the third sister Zhou Yunzhu.

After Jiang Ningzhu sat down, the three Zhou family sisters sat down one by one, and no one spoke.Even Zhou Yunning, who had just started talking to Zhou Yuncheng, looked at her mother and sister and shut up.

The air was so quiet that Zhou Yuncheng could suffocate.Zhou Yuncheng thought to himself: It's almost as good as our previous life when a group of designers who graduated from science and engineering majors sat at a table with the leader at the annual meeting.

Fortunately, Zhou's mother appeared at this time. The old lady seemed to be in good spirits, but logically speaking, she was only fifty or sixty years old, and she could already see that her steps were faltering.

She was helped by the maid into the restaurant, and everyone got up to welcome her.She glanced at everyone, did not speak, and went straight to the main seat and sat down.

"Cheng Ruoxi didn't come again?" Mother Zhou asked the first sentence after sitting down.

"Go back to the old lady, the madam sent someone to tell me that the store has recently launched new dishes, and it is really busy." A nun behind Zhou's mother leaned over and said.

"Hmph," Mother Zhou snorted coldly, "I thought, she is the busiest in the whole world, so busy that she doesn't have time to have a meal with her family. Usually there is no other family's daughter-in-law's rules of morning and evening. What a crime I have done to have such a daughter-in-law for not coming to the next monthly dinner party."

Everyone sat down on their own while listening to Zhou's mother losing her temper.

"Grandmother calm down." Zhou Yunning replied, "Mom may be too busy in the store. I heard from Rongrong this morning that she was at her mother's place yesterday and wanted to take some side dishes away, but there are none left."

"Song Rongrong?" Zhou's mother asked: "Her mother has been ordered, the one who is the aunt in the palace?"

"That's right," Zhou Yunning said, "she said, I went to Xinghua Village yesterday, there were so many people there! She had to wait in line for a long time before she could go in and eat. She finally ate it and thought the new side dishes were very delicious , wanted to pack some for the girls in the palace. In the end, the waiter directly said that they were all sold out!"

"Why do you let people line up?" Mother Zhou said angrily, "Is Cheng Ruoxi in the shop?"

"It seems to be there." Zhou Yunning said, and cast a sideways glance at Zhou's mother from the corner of her eye, and Zhou Yuncheng noticed all of this.

"Then what does she think?" Zhou's mother said, "How can such a family be allowed to line up with those ordinary people without officials or jobs? Isn't this offending people? Besides, how much are those small dishes worth? It's rare for people to like them." , give it to others!"

"Grandmother, I happened to be in the store yesterday, so I know what happened better." Zhou Yuncheng couldn't stop listening, and said, "When Miss Song wanted to pack side dishes to take away, the side dishes had already been bought. If you give her an uncooked one, whether it's the empress in the palace or the Gaoming wife of the Song family, if you eat it badly, I'm afraid they will really bear a grudge against us."

Zhou's mother obviously didn't expect Zhou Yuncheng to speak at this moment, and looked at her with some doubts:
"You haven't always been at odds with your mother, but today it's strange, and you helped her talk?"

"Granddaughter is just telling the truth." Zhou Yuncheng felt a little guilty, lowered her head slightly, and said in her heart: I am really stupid, I was born in a foreign room, of course Cheng Ruoxi would not like to see it.

"After this catastrophe, Yuncheng feels... a lot clearer." Jiang Ningzhu said at this time: "It's not like the bluffing like before."

"Uh hehe..." Zhou Yuncheng smiled awkwardly.

"You don't talk about others," Zhou's mother heard Jiang Ningzhu, and blamed: "It doesn't matter if she is a catastrophe or not? A girl, it is her luck to be able to save her life. As for you, I tried my best at that time. Thoughts brought you in, but you couldn't tie Zhou Wen's heart, that's why Cheng Ruoxi spoiled her for so many years, and made our Zhou family have no males!"

When Jiang Ningzhu heard this, his eyes darkened, he lowered his head and did not speak again.Zhou Yuncheng thought to herself: Good guy, this old lady is killing everyone.

"Anyway," Zhou's mother found Jiang Ningzhu indiscriminate and found it boring, but she obviously hadn't finished venting her anger, so she went on to say, "Cheng Ruoxi shouldn't let others queue up like this! I think she still has that bad temper. Not virtuous. Only a good wife can bring good luck to the family, and she can't give birth to a son, and now she is causing trouble to Wen'er like this!"

"Mother!" At this moment, a masculine male voice sounded, and a muscular figure walked in: "Why did I hear you talking about Ruoxi again!?"

Zhou's mother didn't expect Zhou Wen to come in at this time, she froze for a moment, but said:

"She didn't come again! At the beginning, I was afraid that her solitary character would ruin the family, so I made the rule of eating together. It was originally planned to be once every seven days. You pet her, and it will last for a month." Once. That's it, she always has an excuse not to come. Now you won't even let me talk?"

"Mother," Zhou Wen had already walked in and sat down at this time. He didn't feel anxious and angry, and said calmly, "Mother asked everyone to eat together. We all know what our original intention is."

When Zhou Wen said this, he glanced at Jiang Ningzhu. Jiang Ningzhu lowered his head desolately when he saw Zhou Wen's eyes.

"And I said at the beginning that if you don't want to come, you agree." Zhou Wen continued.

In fact, Zhou's mother not only agreed, but at the beginning she simply hoped that Cheng Ruoxi would not show up.As Zhou Wen said, Zhou's mother didn't originally mean that everyone should eat together, but that Zhou Wen always didn't go to Jiang Ningzhu's place, just to create opportunities for her.

But after so long, Mother Zhou also found out.Even if they were allowed to meet like this, Zhou Wen would no longer have any thoughts about anyone other than Cheng Ruoxi.Only then did Cheng Ruoxi put all this account on Cheng Ruoxi's head.

"Just pamper her like this..." Zhou's mother felt that her hard fist had hit the cotton, her tone softened, and she said a little tiredly: "Look at her, she even let the young lady from the family come together with those ordinary people queue."

"This is my son's idea." Zhou Wen said, "It would be very troublesome to divide ranks according to absolute status, and it would be easy to offend people. For example, if the official positions are different, but the ranks are similar, who will come first? I have to ask officials from the Ministry of Rites to guard me in a restaurant? Besides, there are many famous officials who are not official."

Zhou Yuncheng nodded subconsciously after hearing this: Indeed, if the privilege is given, it will be easy to offend others, so it is better not to give it.Everyone acts according to the rules, but will not be criticized.

"Anyway, you are facing her," Mother Zhou sighed, "That's all, I can't say no to you, let's eat."

"Actually, at the end of the day," Zhou Wen smiled, a little intoxicated in his own world, and said, "It's because Ruoxi is too capable, and our restaurant's business is so good that we have such troubles. You may not experience it in other places. Bar."

Mother Zhou's face was livid from choking, and Zhou Yuncheng was worried that she would suffer from indigestion after eating today's meal.

Both Zhou Yunning and Jiang Ningzhu silently picked up their chopsticks and prepared to eat.Zhou Yunzhu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Zhou Yuncheng gave Zhou Wen a thumbs up in his heart: It's good to protect your wife with strength.He had completely forgotten the embarrassment that Zhou Wen fainted when he saw her "deceitful corpse" for the first time.

And the woman at the center of the topic, Cheng Ruoxi, was so busy in the back kitchen of the restaurant that she didn't even bother to sneeze.
