wives and concubines

When Li Jianan came back, he saw that the room was empty, so he opened his mouth and asked where his wife had gone.

Luyu came up to serve her and changed into her regular clothes, and replied to Li Jianan, "Knowing that the Duke is coming for dinner tonight, Madam went to the small kitchen in person."

Looking at Li Jian'an with a slightly joyful expression, Luyu continued: "I have been tossing for more than an hour, and I don't know what kind of dishes Madam is going to cook."

When Chen Chunfang got married, in addition to drawing up the menus for two banquets, even if it was a cup of tea, the maids prepared it and brought it to her, and she just watched from the sidelines.

Aunt An once cooked Jiangnan dishes for herself, and when Chen Chunfang mentioned it in private, she was full of disdain.

The same girls from the Chen family, one couldn't even recognize vegetables, fruits and vegetables, but the other had the time to spend more than an hour in the kitchen.

Thinking of this, Li Jian'an couldn't help showing a slight mockery on his face.

After sitting on the couch and changing his shoes, Li Jianan asked, "Did your wife often cook by herself when she was at her mother's house?"

The Green Jade was only allocated to Chun Ge by the third wife, so of course she didn't know, so she went to look at the Jade Standing next to her.

When Fei Cui heard the question, she hurriedly said: "Madam often goes to the kitchen. In the past, there were not many dishes in our room, and the food was cold when it was delivered. Madam said..."

Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by Luyu.

Only when Fei Cui saw Li Jian'an's condensed expression did she realize that she had said something wrong.

No matter what kind of grievances Madam has suffered in the Chen family, she is from the Chen family after all.Marrying out, but complaining about her natal family, would the Duke of the State think that this was ordered by his wife, would he think that his wife was stingy and hated?

Li Jian'an remained silent, and Fei Cui became more and more frightened when she saw it, her body kept trembling, secretly hating herself for speaking too fast.

It turns out that it is because of this that I have developed a good craft.

Li Jianan felt a little pity in his heart, so he didn't notice the expressions between Lvyu and Feicui, looked up at Feicui, and said indifferently: "Tell me about your wife's time at her mother's house."

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the green jade falling on Fei Cui, and Li Jianan thought of what Chun Ge told him that night.

The four maids, Hu Po and Jade grew up together, while Lv Yu and Hong Yu were the dowry maids picked out from behind, their eyes suddenly became cold.

"Tell the truth." There was a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Luyu is a transparent person, and when she realized that Li Jianan had spotted her hint, she immediately lowered her head, acting honestly, and did nothing.

Fei Cui couldn't tell what Li Jian'an was thinking, and she didn't have the flexibility of Hu Po, so she could only reply in a straightforward manner, but secretly complained in her heart.

"Madam used to share three dishes at home, two meat dishes, one seasonal vegetable, and two taels of purple japonica rice. The standard money was five taels of silver per month, two sets of new clothes for one season, and one set of hair for one year. noodle……"

Fei Cui babbled, thinking of Chun Ge's life when she was at home, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Speaking of it, five taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live a good life for a year outside, which is not a lot.But in the Chen family, the wife is a daughter who is not favored by concubines, and she still wants to take care of the seventh young master. This little money is not enough just to manage it up and down.

He had no choice but to find a way to sell embroidery work outside, which was done after Li Nanny helped to make the match.

As for those head jewelry, I really don't need to mention it.

Seeing Fei Cui's appearance, Li Jian'an also knew that Chun Ge's life at home was not good.

Thinking of Chun Ge's smiling face when she was leaning on her body and acting like a baby, she couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart.

Outside, Chunge brought Amber, Hongyu and a few little maids, laughing and laughing all the way in.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Chunge saw Jade who was still wiping tears and Lvyu who looked nervous.

And Li Jian'an, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also looked condensed.

How is this going?

Could it be that the girl Fei Cui was about to say the wrong thing again, making Li Jian'an unhappy.

Chun Ge felt a headache, sighed inwardly, let Hu Po and Hong Yu, who were stunned behind, bring the little maids to serve all the dishes first, and walked to Li Jian'an with a smile.

"Grandpa, but Fei Cui made you angry again by saying the wrong thing?"

This little girl originally thought that although she was a concubine, she was raised too squeamishly, but she never expected to suffer such hardship at home.

But no matter how much I feel sorry for her, it can't be at this time, with so many people watching, it might be another big event if it reaches Chen Chunfang's ears, and her face doesn't look good.

As soon as Li Jian'an changed his mind, he stayed on the bed and put on his shoes.

Seeing Chunge, she bent down to help.

Serving her husband should have been the duty of a housewife.

But seeing Chun Ge doing this, Li Jian'an always felt uncomfortable, but fortunately, it was only a blink of an eye.

After putting on his shoes, Li Jian'an walked directly to the round table with four-legged mahogany carved patterns and sat down. Seeing a table with a mix of red and green dishes, he said with a smile, "I heard that you have been cleaning in the small kitchen for more than an hour."

Seeing that Li Jian'an didn't seem to want to talk about jadeite anymore, Chunge just passed by without mentioning it, and then said modestly: "My craftsmanship is crude, you can try it, if it's not good, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare another table, and I'll leave it immediately I can bring it up."

Li Jian'an picked up a chopstick of pickled tomato, and after tasting it, he praised Chun Ge and said: "Mother said that you learned your embroidery work from Nanny Li, so who did you learn your cooking skills from? "

This is obviously very satisfactory.

Seeing Li Jian'an's teasing smile, Chun Ge lowered his head and said, "When I'm at home, I'm always idle, so I like to think about it."

I'm afraid it's not just thinking about it, but being forced by livelihood.

Li Jian'an sighed in his heart, and with a movement in his heart, he held Chunge's hand under the table.

Feeling Li Jian'an's warm palm on the back of his hand, Chun Ge was startled for a moment, and then returned a sweet smile to Li Jian'an.

Li Jianan looked at

Li Jian'an was feasting, but he was still holding Chun Ge, a room full of servant girls, and Chun Ge was not easy to struggle, so he could only let Li Jian'an hold it like this.

Later, when Li Jian'an saw Chun Ge's discomfort, he laughed twice and told everyone in the room to retreat and not need to serve, Chun Ge was a little more at ease.

The palm was soft and greasy, but Li Jian'an reluctantly withdrew his hand, and let this little girl have a good meal.

Chun Ge breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Jian'an's relaxed eyebrows, guessed that Li Jian'an must be in a good mood at this time, and thought of the matter that the fourth and fifth wives came here today.

If you want to teach the girls from all sides of the Li family how to embroider, you have to tell Li Jian'an.

Otherwise, Li Jian'an might think that he is trying to win people's hearts.

"My lord, the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam came to my room to discuss something with me today. I want to ask you what you mean."

Fourth lady, fifth lady?

Thinking of these two younger siblings, Li Jian'an couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and asked Chun Ge, "What's the matter?"

Chun Ge told Li Jian'an everything in a concise manner.

Li Jianan was silent after listening.

Chunge sees it and finds it strange.

With Li Jian'an's resolute temperament, such a small matter should definitely not be embarrassing, why would he hesitate.

Seeing that Li Jian'an has been pondering and not speaking, Chun Ge smiled and said: "If you feel bad, I will tell them tomorrow."

It's not bad, but this matter is somewhat involved.

It is also related to Princess Ruichang.

I don't know if this girl is smart enough.

Li Jian'an thought for a while, looked at Chun Ge's trusting black eyes, and pulled Chun Ge into his arms with a move in his heart.

"You are at home, have you heard of Princess Herui?"

And Princess Rui?

The younger sister of the first emperor was quite favored earlier.I heard that he fell in love with the mighty general back then, so he asked the first emperor to order General Zou to divorce his wife.

This eldest princess, not only in the capital, but also in Suinan, occasionally heard some wives talking about it, showing slight disdain.

Chun Ge didn't know why Li Jian'an suddenly turned to Princess He Ruichang, so she nodded slightly.

"Princess Herui has a daughter-in-law under her knees. The eldest princess fell in love with Nanny Li's embroidery skills. She wrote three letters to the south of the Yangtze River a year ago, but failed to invite Nanny Li. I know you are Jinxiu Pavilion I told the emperor that I wanted you to go to the princess mansion to be her daughter's female celebrity master, but I rejected it."

After listening to Chun Ge, he was already dumbfounded.

I just heard that the eldest princess was domineering and domineering, but I didn't expect that she would come to the emperor and say that she wanted the duke's flat wife to go to her house to be a female teacher.

This was a severe slap in the face of Li Jian'an. If Li Jian'an agreed, people outside would say that Li Jian'an was a shameless flatterer and Princess Ruichang.

No wonder Li Jianan had such a gloomy expression when he spoke.

The other end just found words to evade, and this end taught people embroidery art with great fanfare at home. Even if he married into the Li family, he taught girls from the Li family.According to the eldest princess' temperament, I'm afraid there will be right and wrong.

Chun Ge understood, and immediately assured her with a crisp voice: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Li Jian'an was feeling uncomfortable when he thought that he was suddenly called into the palace today because of such a thing. He lowered his head and saw Chun Ge's expression resolutely reassuring there. Heart shaken.

She is obviously a delicate doll, yet she still has to act like an adult.

While laughing, Li Jian'an stretched out his hand and squeezed Chun Ge's chin, "What do you want to do?"

In this situation, we can only reject the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam first, and look for opportunities after passing this threshold.

What's more, in my own home, the girls can come and sit with me, talk and embroider at any time, just don't put them on the table like that.

The fourth lady and the fifth lady can't say anything gossip.

Chun Ge made up her mind to talk back to Li Jian'an, but her lips were blocked.

Li Jian'an smelled the faint scent of plum blossoms on Chun Ge's body, as if he was drunk, he hugged Chun Ge to the bed regardless, and took off the curtain.A certain place in my heart seemed to be scalded by something warm, and I couldn't stop cuddling.

So the number of words in this chapter should be a bit more, Wangtian, I will try my best to update two more chapters tonight, I just got my computer back...
