The little lady of the dude's family, she is tea and rustic

Chapter 263 The Gap
“Originally I didn’t want to eat it, but it’s hard for me to refuse if someone wants to do it.

Besides, it can be seen that the one in Lao Hu's family is very clean, and her pastries are also very attractive.

In fact, there were not many pastries, only seven or eight yuan in total. I ate less after taking Lao Hu. "

He Yufen felt a little sorry when she talked about this. People like them certainly wouldn't take a piece of cake seriously, but it was different for the Hu family.

Just a few pieces of pastries, I didn't know how long I had to praise them before I was willing to make them, and I even asked my son to bring them to my husband.

She was a concubine. Although she never had to worry about food and clothing, she also knew that money was not easy to come by, so she was not given the opportunity to spend lavishly.

Now that I am in charge of a household, I know more clearly what one piece of silver means to an ordinary family.

It must be that Hu Xiucai. Although his clothes are washed very clean and he is dressed neatly every time he comes here, the materials are white and the cuffs and neckline are frayed. I guess he knows that the Hu family is living in poverty.

She just sighed and didn't notice the profound meaning in Ruan Jiaojiao's eyes when he looked at her.

Ruan Jiaojiao did not continue talking about this topic. He Yufen's attention was immediately diverted when she told her about going to various parties to attend banquets after the new year.

After she left, Ruan Jiaojiao asked Butler Jiang to come over and asked him, "How often does the gardener Lao Hu's son come here?"

Butler Jiang thought for a while and replied, "I've been here four or five times."

"Since when?"

Butler Jiang thought carefully, "It must have been in late September. I met him at the door and led him in that time."

That is, from late September to now, I have come four or five times in the past three months. Why didn't I see you for more than half a year?
It's not that Ruan Jiaojiao deliberately thinks bad things about people. Caution is never wrong.

So he told Butler Jiang, "When he comes again after the new year, please pay attention to him."

Although Butler Jiang still doesn't know why Madam gave such an order, he just listens to Madam's instructions.

"Yes."

Mrs. Cao kept watching, and when only Madam and her were left in the room, she tentatively asked Madam.

"Madam, do you think that Hu Xiucai has ulterior motives?"

And this person is the Fourth Miss. Thinking about the situation of the Hu family, although Lao Hu is a servant of the house, he just signed a work contract and is not selling himself.

Hu Xiucai is a scholar, and his future future is uncertain, but it is not impossible.

He looks decent, and seems to have a good character.

The fourth lady is a concubine, so it is not impossible. When Hu Xiucai takes a further step, the Hu family's family status will be different.

After hearing her words, Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and said, "We'll find out if we wait and see."

She turned to look at Mr. Cao, her mouth still smiling and her voice very soft.

"I don't let her learn these things so that she can pass them on to others in the future. A bird with bright feathers standing on a branch will never be the same as a free-range chicken.

Some things are innate and cannot be changed the day after tomorrow.

Although Yufen is a concubine, she is also a charming young lady who grew up in the golden nest of the He family. If she tastes the lotus root starch cake and finds it delicious, will she still find it delicious after eating it for the rest of her life?

What's more, I don't know how long it will take to take a bite of the lotus root starch cake. "

Ms. Cao shut up, knowing that she was wrong.

At this moment, looking at the dazzling lady, she felt guilty and even more aware of how narrow her vision was.

Ruan Jiaojiao did not tell He Zong about this. If he knew about his temper, the Hu family might not even be able to survive this year.

After all, he is a scholar, and to give him some face, it would be too ugly to tell the truth, and everyone would lose face.

When I got up on the New Year's Day, I saw that the whole family was busy. He Zong couldn't even come back for lunch, saying he had to keep an eye on the patrol.Also, the New Year and the holidays are often the times when there are the most things going on.

He Zong came back to pick her up in the middle of the afternoon, and the couple took a carriage to the palace.

In the carriage, Ruan Jiaojiao lifted the curtain and looked towards the street. At this time, there were not many people on the street, most of the shops were closed, and the few pedestrians were walking in a hurry.

After they arrived at the palace, they were led to different places by the servants. There were many unfamiliar faces at the banquet, but they soon met an acquaintance, Mrs. Jin.

It was no surprise to see Mrs. Jin today, and later I met Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Jin held her hand and was very close to her, "Is that little black iron enough? If it's not enough, I'll let people pay more attention to it."

Ruan Jiaojiao said that she wanted to give it to her younger brother, but she had already given it to him and could not care about her husband. So Mrs. Jin thought that it might not be enough.

It was because she drank the wine Ruan Jiaojiao gave her that she was soft-spoken.

Ruan Jiaojiao not only gave her fruit wine and flower wine, but also gold and jade wine.

The wine was golden and translucent in color, with a mellow and long aftertaste. She couldn't drink much, but her husband and father both said it was a good wine, and her father especially liked it.

"That's enough, that's enough. I just made two handles. Ruan Yu will be able to use them after the New Year. I'll thank you, madam, for him first."

Mrs. Jin pretended to pat her arm and smiled, "Then do I also want to thank you for the wine? Sister, you are being polite."

Seeing that she really wanted to bow, Ruan Jiaojiao quickly pulled her away.

Mrs. Fang also chimed in, "That wine of yours is really delicious. I just opened it and was spoiled by Lao Fang. I finished it in two days."

"Just finish it when you're done. I still have wine jars over there. I'll have someone send you two jars tomorrow."

This is the first batch, there will be more later.

"How can I ask for your wine for free? You are doing business.

Speaking of which, when will your business be able to start up? We can relax and drink with peace of mind, right? "

Mrs. Fang was very carefree and didn't care whether they were saying thank you or not before. Anyway, she was determined not to drink in vain.

The princess arrived late, and everyone went up to greet her. Ruan Jiaojiao thought they were going to kneel down, but they didn't.

She stood with Mr. Fang and learned from Mr. Fang if she didn't understand something.

The princess was born really upright and soft, with the look of a real classical beauty, and her every move and smile were just right.

I have to admit that things that are born with are really different.

Along with the princess came two concubines, both of whom were extremely beautiful and gave off a graceful and luxurious feeling just by looking at them.

Later, when she took her seat, she realized that she was not with Mrs. Fang, but between Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Fang.

Of course, there are others besides her.

This position is also very particular. The wife of her husband's high official position naturally sits close to the princess.

Mrs. Jin was the first one among the concubines of the princess to take action. She was five positions away from Mrs. Jin, and the seventh position opposite was a lady she had never seen before.

There were more than twenty ladies in the banquet hall, plus the ladies brought by various families, and there were dozens of servants serving them.

This scene is definitely not comparable to that of a small family like the Ruan family and the He family.

The difference was immediately apparent.
