Chapter 306 Second Aunt Comes Again
"The third lady is in charge of the big kitchen?" Yao Cunhui asked Hemerocallis.

Hemerocallis shook her head and nodded again, and said in a low voice: "Our wife and the second wife have always been in charge of the house, and the kitchen is no exception. Our wife is not in good health, and the second lady takes care of everything up and down. It was only three months ago because of The mansion is busy preparing for the wedding of the prince and concubine and the fourth young master and fourth grandma, so the third lady came to help temporarily, and the kitchen happened to be under her management."

Yao Cunhui suddenly realized, and only then did he understand why Mrs. Lu came to see her.Ganqing's marriage has been settled, and she, as a temporary manager, faces the possibility of being kicked out at any time.She came to find herself, of course, to show her kindness and ask for help so that she can continue to do this errand.

But, a little too impatient!

Moreover, even though she is "the proper mistress of the mansion" and has a mother-in-law and a great-grandmother, it seems that she has nothing to do with it!Lu Shi's wishful thinking might come to nothing.

Yao Cunhui raised the corners of his mouth slightly unconsciously.Her heart is really not that big, and she doesn't want to be rewarded or something.There are so many things for this big family, why should she participate in it?Anyway, she is a princess, no one dares to detain her or abuse her, it is not good for her to live comfortably, why bother to fight?In the past at Yao's family, it was a last resort, but now that he has a backer, let's talk about enjoying the blessings!

"It seems that someone came to visit just now?" Yao Cunhui was thinking, only to see Shen Quan coming out of the bath after taking a bath, wearing a light blue soft silk robe with dark patterns, and his wet hair that had just been washed was loosely tied.

"It's the third aunt. She came to ask me about my taste and what I want to eat! I said that I don't care much, and I can eat whatever the big kitchen makes! Does the prince have any requirements?" Yao Cunhui raised his head and smiled.

"I'm the same as you!" Shen Quan said with a smile: "Third Aunt has a heart! But don't bother her, just ask someone to buy it if you want, don't we have a small kitchen!"

Yao Cunhui smiled and sat down at the dining table with him, flew over from the corner of his eye, and flew back the hand that Vanilla was about to reach out, filled a small bowl of barley porridge and handed it to Shen Quan, moved several plates of side dishes and pickles closer, and asked What kind of stuffing was that steamed stuffed bun? Xiao Xing hurriedly replied that it was stuffed with minced chicken and tofu. Yao Cunhui put two of them on the plate in front of Shen Quan, and put another pancake in it. The breakfast is good, although there are a lot of these things, the nutritional combination is really not good!

Yao Cunhui arranged food for him, and while taking his own food, he joked: "It costs a lot of money to open a small kitchen, I don't have that much money!"

Sure enough, Shen Quan didn't pick anything, and he happily ate whatever Yao Cunhui put in his hands. Hearing what she said, he couldn't help raising his head and laughing as if he had heard a joke, and then said: "So pitiful? Or, I I will give you my private room!"

"You still have a private room?" Yao Cunhui raised his eyebrows.

"There are some," Shen Quan coughed, and said honestly: "When I came back from the Western Regions, I divided some things, and they were still in the study outside and I didn't have the time to clean them up. I will ask someone to move in today, so you can put them away." ! And my monthly salary, except for the part handed over to the public, you will also keep it in the future, anyway, you will be the master of the family from now on."

As soon as Shen Quan said this, the day lily, vanilla, and Polygonum rubrum all changed color. The two grasses were shocked, and they couldn't believe it.It is too important to know who is in charge of the financial power, at least, it represents the status in this mansion.

The value of Yao Cunhui's own dowry is unknown, and Luhuatang's high-profit source of income may not pay much attention to heavy things, but he is still very happy to hear him say that, smiled sweetly, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Seeing her smile, Shen Quan was also happy in his heart.Thinking of having a caring wife to take care of the arrangements for his daily life in the future, and having a warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms at night, his heart was suddenly filled with something, and there was a strong warmth flowing.

He suddenly felt a little regretful, it seemed that he got up too early this morning, he should do something to get up again.

After the two of them had breakfast, Shen Quan couldn't wait, so he went out to the outer study and asked someone to bring in all his personal belongings. There were five large boxes in a row in the left wing room.

These are the share of the spoils he captured during the war in the Western Regions, as well as the rewards from the Queen Mother and the Emperor after returning to Beijing.

The items are very valuable, and almost all of them are high-quality goods. Among them, gold ornaments, various gemstones, agates, and gold wares are the most, and there are also some jade wares, jade carvings, wood carvings, precious spices, and porcelain.

These gold jewelry accessories inlaid with beautiful gemstones have unique shapes and styles that are very different from those in the Central Plains. There are eagles with wings, cheetahs, deer, unicorns, abstract phoenix patterns, wolf heads, snakes, branch antlers, ox horns, weapons, etc. Deformed shape, chiseled and carved with strange and weird patterns, surrounded by interspersed, inlaid with various bright gemstones, giving people a very strong visual impact.

Among them is a cockatoo jewellery. Two parrots stand side by side on a golden crossbar, with golden claws and a golden beak. Two finger-sized transparent sapphires are the body, rubies are the head, black crystals are the eyes, and on the back and tail are Coiled in gold, inlaid with finely colored jade and gemstones, the tail is decorated with sparkling finely divided crystals. Holding it in the hand, those eyes seem to be looking at it with piercing eyes, vivid and lifelike.

According to Shen Quan, the original owner of this thing was the queen of a certain tribe.

There are also golden crowns inlaid with gemstones, colorful gemstone necklaces, agate bracelets, carved and chiseled jewelry boxes made of pure gold, snake pattern armbands, ivory Buddha statues, golden trees decorated with various gemstone fruits, and pure gold. Gold seat crystal cup, crystal jug inlaid with gold and chiseled gems, gold jue inlaid with red sapphire and emerald, gold hollowed out aromatherapy burner inlaid with gems, jasper dagger accessories inlaid with gems, gold and silver monster lamp holders, various jade vases, jade pots, gold vases and gold bottles Wait, people are dazzled and dizzy.

Rao Yao Cunhui was already a ignorant person, but he couldn't help being amazed when he saw these things, and the Red Polygonum, Rong Ma, etc. who helped clean up were even more amazed.

Seeing that she was interested, Shen Quan picked up the ones she remembered and told her casually, where did it come from? Hong Liao and others listened with great interest, but Yao Cunhui couldn't help feeling distressed, raised his head and said softly to Shen Quan : "It must be very difficult to hit those places, right? You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Shen Quanhun smiled indifferently and said: "What is this? A man is galloping on the battlefield, and he can't bear this bit of suffering!"

Yao Cunhui also laughed, and asked people to put away all the things.Randomly picked out a few pieces and ordered Rong Ma to put them aside, and prepared to give them to my sister, aunt, sister-in-law and others when they returned home.

"Nothing to do today, let me take you to the Fuchu Garden for a stroll! Familiar with the familiar environment, you have places to spend time while I'm not at home during the day!" Shen Quan smiled again.

Yao Cunhui was thinking about looking for an opportunity to walk around the mansion, Shen Quan's words hit his heart, so he nodded happily.It's just that the clothes on her body seemed too casual and homely, not suitable for the bride's status, she looked down and smiled and told Shen Quan to wait, change clothes before going.

No, just after Yao Cunhui came out after changing her clothes, the servant girl reported: The second wife, Mrs. Xue, is visiting!
Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan were relatively speechless.

"Forget it, you should see your second aunt first, let's just go out in the afternoon." Shen Quan patted her on the shoulder.

Yao Cunhui nodded with a smile, hurriedly went out to greet her, and invited Mrs. Xue to sit in the flower hall.

"I shouldn't bother my niece and daughter-in-law at this time. I just came here because I needed to tell my niece and daughter-in-law. Didn't I disturb my niece and daughter-in-law?" Xue sat down politely, and said with a smile after a few words .

"No, I'm idle anyway, if Second Aunt has something to do, it's okay to say!" Yao Cunhui smiled.In my mind, I unconsciously compared Xue Shi with Lu Shi.The head of the family who holds the real power is different, their backs are straighter, and they speak confidently. They don't give themselves a chance to be humble at all, and the words "nephew and daughter-in-law" are taken for granted.

"Cough, that's it." Mrs. Xue took a sip of tea, raised her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile, "I've asked someone to count the congratulatory gifts from this wedding, as you know, You and our fourth grandma entered the door on the same day, and all the congratulatory gifts were collected together. I made a detailed list, some belonged to you, some belonged to our fourth young master and fourth grandma, and some belonged to the public. The source of each family is listed in detail at the back of the congratulatory gift, you can see if it is correct, if it is correct, I will deal with it like this, and your share will be sent over tomorrow morning!"

As Xue said, she ordered Hong's mother to hand over the gift booklet to Yao Cunhui, and said a few gossips, saying how busy she was these days and how to clean up the aftermath, and showed Yao Cunhui with a smile.

Yao Cunhui felt uncomfortable when she heard what she said.I am a new daughter-in-law who just married, shouldn't Mrs. Xue discuss the congratulatory gift with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xiao?Why did you rush to find yourself?If this gets out, won't people laugh at the new daughter-in-law for being greedy for money and taking power and being ignorant?Should I be a human being in front of my mother-in-law?Presumably the old mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen, will be unhappy too!

"I'm still young, so I don't know this. My second aunt is embarrassing me! Besides, I don't dare to make decisions about this matter. Second aunt should tell my mother-in-law!" Yao Cunhui didn't go to pick up the gift booklet, and asked Xue said with a smile.

Xue Shi didn't expect that a newcomer would not give her face, so she bumped into a soft nail without making a sound.

She was slightly taken aback, then sighed softly, and frowned slightly, "My niece and daughter-in-law don't know something, my sister-in-law is in poor health, I heard there was another night of trouble yesterday! I just fell asleep now, and I don't know what to do." So you can bother her with these trivial matters! Although you are a bride, you are also an upright mistress in the mansion. Now that my sister-in-law is in such a good shape, you will have to take care of things in a few days, and it is reasonable to take care of this now! Don’t worry! Our mansion The situation is special, no one dares to gossip about you! You don’t have to be too scruples! You don’t need to be out of touch with your second aunt. If you think something is wrong with this list or you don’t understand it, just tell your second aunt, and second aunt will explain it to you We are a family, there is nothing to be ashamed of!"
