Chapter 39

Rose cake? "

"No," Yao Cunmei smiled, and said, "This is the freshest and most plump peaches, peeled and removed from the meridians, and the most tender peach flesh is selected, and filled with silver picks, boiled over a slow fire to make peach paste, and added a little fine flour. , carved into the shape of roses and steamed. When steaming in the drawer, a layer of roses is sprinkled on the bottom of the drawer, so there is a rose smell, but it is more delicate and sweet than rose cake! Oh, roses There are also cakes here, which are made with Poria cocos powder, and the taste is not bad, would my cousin try it too?"

Yao Cunxian's face froze slightly, and he said with a smile: "My cousin's dim sum here is really good!" But he didn't try the rose cake recommended by Yao Cunmei.

Yao Cunmei smiled reservedly, but did not insist.

Everyone sat for a while, then left the Qionglin Garden, and still wandered in the garden, but their mood was not as good as before, they were shocked by the wealth and honor in Yao Cunmei's room, and they still haven't come back to their senses!
Not to mention Gu's and Yao Cunxian, even Yao Cunhui was secretly surprised when he saw the wealth and honor in Qionglin Garden.She had never been to Yao Cunmei's Qionglin Court, and even though she expected it to be much better than her own Luomei Court, she never expected it to be so much better!

After thinking about it, it's true, Mrs. Ma is such a biological daughter, and Yao Cunmei is a pursuit of pleasure. It's not like the Yao family can't afford the money. What's the fuss about it?

Walking along the bank of Huanhua Lake, passing through the Peony Pavilion at Dongtou, turning to the northeast and bypassing the wisteria trellis, a small camphor forest emerges, and a cornice not far away can be seen faintly, that is Yao Cunhui Luomei Courtyard where he lived.

Something flashed through Mao's mind, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I've been shopping for a long time, go to Huier's Luomei Courtyard to sit and wash my face, let's go back to the main courtyard! Presumably, the uncle and my master should be back soon! Anyway, the sister-in-law of the rich family will stay for a few more days, and it will not be too late to go shopping tomorrow!"

Mrs. Ma didn't notice anything at first, but she never let go of her vigilance towards Mrs. Mao. As long as it was said by Mrs. Mao, she must go back and forth in her mind three times to confirm that there is nothing wrong before she is willing to rest assured. After passing the words in my heart twice, I was startled and flustered immediately, and said with a smile: "Why bother with Huier, it's more convenient to go directly to the main courtyard!"

"Mother and daughter don't know each other too much, and my aunt is not an outsider. I'm afraid my daughter won't be able to invite my aunt and mother to sit there. How can it be troublesome! Just follow this road, and it's also convenient!" Yao Cunhui immediately said with a smile.

How could Yao Cunhui let go of this opportunity when she arrived at her own door?

"There are no rules!" In desperation, Mrs. Ma didn't care to play the role of a virtuous and loving mother, and immediately her face darkened, and she scolded Yao Cunhui: "Auntie is the elder, and you are a junior, how can you wash the things in your house for Auntie? Talking without any prejudice! Sister-in-law of the great family, don't care about it like her, let's go back to my side now!"

"Mother, what is the meaning of my daughter!" Yao Cunhui dared not express her grievances, and gave Gu and Yao Cunxian a deep apologetic look.

"That's right, sister-in-law, Hui'er is also kind-hearted. Doesn't it make her feel wronged when you say that!" Mao Shi also chimed in.

"I also want to go to Cousin Hui's place for a sit-down. We just agreed that I will stay with Cousin Hui and be her companion these few days!" Yao Cunxian saw Yao Cunhui's kindness for his mother and daughter. Instead, she was reprimanded face to face by her aunt, and she felt aggrieved, so she said something with a smile.

On the one hand, Mrs. Gu wondered why Mrs. Ma was so determined not to let their mother and daughter go to Yao Cunhui's place but wanted to have a look, and on the other hand, seeing that the precious daughter had also spoken, would she not agree, so she immediately took out the money from the rich family's sister-in-law, annoyed She glanced at Mrs. Ma and said with a smile, "brothers and sisters, you are too careful! What niece Hui said is that she is not an outsider, so how can she be so particular about it! My niece and I are just vulgar country women from the mountains and countryside. How can you dislike the things in Huier's room? I'm afraid we have never seen the things in Huier's room!"

After hearing this, Yao Cunhui laughed and said, "Auntie's words made Huier ashamed to death. As long as Auntie doesn't blame Huier for being reckless, Huier will feel much better!"

"Hehe, don't blame, don't blame!" Gu said with a smile.

Madam Ma saw that everyone insisted, it seemed unreasonable for him to continue talking, his face turned red and white in anxiety, but it was inconvenient to speak again, and he followed along with anxiety.

Gu and Yao Cunxian thought they would see a courtyard as exquisite as Qionglin Garden, but they couldn't help being stunned when they saw it with their own eyes. If it weren't for the three characters "Luomeiyuan" written on the plaque, they would hardly believe that this is the courtyard. Yao Cunhui's residence.

The vermilion lacquered wooden door is half new and not old, slightly peeled off and mottled, the animal head copper buckle on the door panel is also half black and not yellow and dull, the blue brick and powder wall is gray and decayed, and the ground is even with uneven moss, some of which are green. , some dry black.There is nothing in front of the door, and there are no flowers or trees.

However, Yao Cunmei was still smiling all over her face, her eyebrows raised, and her mocking eyes were fully revealed to Yao Cunhui.Seeing this, Mrs. Gu turned her face away, frowned slightly, and couldn't help showing some pity for Yao Cunhui.

This motherless child is suffering!
Look at her wearing gold and silver, silk and satin, she is just dressing up for outsiders to see, and she doesn't know what kind of life she is living behind her back!
It can be seen that Ma Shi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has one thing on his face and another on his back!Mrs. Gu couldn't help but secretly pay attention to Mrs. Ma.

"Auntie, Mother, and Auntie, please go this way!" Yao Cunhui took Yao Cunxian and invited Gu Shi and others to the yard with a smile on his face. The corner of his mouth was smiling, his face was quiet and soft, and he was sincere and friendly. It's not fair at all.

Seeing Ma Shi, he became more and more like a needle on his back.

Naturally, the courtyard is not as good as in Qionglin Garden where Linglong rocks are piled up, bonsai are emerald, green vines are coiled, exotic flowers are blooming, and there are tall, large enamel-painted and gold-edged fish tanks lined up in sequence. There are all kinds of beautiful small goldfish.

"Niece Hui's Luomei Courtyard is really elegant!" Mrs. Gu smiled slightly, and glanced at Mrs. Ma lightly.

Mrs. Ma smiled awkwardly, and said embarrassingly: "Hui'er has always loved Sujing, isn't it just..." Mrs. Ma said, casting her eyes on Yao Cunhui, motioning Yao Cunhui to take up the conversation and help her smooth things over.

Yao Cunhui sneered in his heart, unless she was stupid, she would help her smooth things over!Just pretending not to see it, just invite Mrs. Gu and others into the house with a smile.

Rong Ma came out together with Rhizoma Polygonum and Hong Zhi, and came forward to greet her.When Mama Rong heard that Mrs. Gu is the sister-in-law of the Yao family, she immediately pressed her hands and held her face, led the red Polygonum and red branches with a smile and respectfully stepped forward to salute Mrs. Gu again, and said with a humble smile: "The lady of the great family is here in person. She is a rare guest who can't be invited! The servants are flattered to see them!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu felt very relieved, and she couldn't help but smile all over her face. Hearing that Mama Rong was Yao Cunhui's nanny, she helped Mama Rong up with her own hands, patted her hand lightly and said with a smile: "You She is Hui'er's nanny, how could she give me such a great gift! After all, we should be of the same generation!"

"Oh Mrs. Dazu, your words will kill this old slave! Who is this old slave on the famous brand? How can he be worthy of the words of Mrs. Dazu!" Rong Ma laughed quickly.

After entering the house for a while, the room is small and the decoration is even more plain, Gu's face became even more unhappy.She couldn't help but also secretly looked at Yao Cunhui's eyes, wondering if Yao Cunhui deliberately lured her here, but she saw that she was gently smiling at the side and telling Rong Ma, Red Polygonum, etc., without deliberately leading her to look around, and even Having never said a single word to her, Mrs. Gu lost her doubts and even sighed.

A child without a mother to take care of him matures precociously, and knows his status clearly, so he dare not compare himself with the younger sister born by his stepmother!I don't know how to cultivate such a gentle and peaceful temperament!

Gu suddenly thought again, Yao Cunhui's place is like this, Yao Cunjia's and Yao Shizan's place must not be much better!The Yao family is so wealthy, yet the Ma family is so stingy, it really is——

"Auntie, mother, and auntie, don't dislike me, everything here is clean!" Yao Cunhui smiled and brought the dowry in person, taking out everything one by one.

After a while, the water from Polygonum rhododendron came, and Yao Cunhui personally was there to help Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Mao clean their faces and hands.

Mrs. Mao only washed his handles, and said with a smile that he would go back later; Mrs. Ma was feeling bored, and he only washed his hands if he wanted to use Yao Cunhui's things.It was Mrs. Gu who said with a smile, "Niece Shouhui is born!" Yao Cunhui served her for a while.

Red Polygonum over there also served Yao Cunxian to wash his hands and face, brush his hair again, and put on makeup.

Yao Cunhui's words are gentle and witty, and his demeanor is generous and natural. After a while, Gu's affection for her can't help but increase a bit.Seeing that the maids in Luomei Courtyard are also stable and dignified, they act decently, compared to the maids in Qionglin Courtyard who are showing off their power and shouting three times and four times, I don't know how much better. No luck, everything is good, but it's a pity that my mother left early, all the good things are not worth the loss!
After grooming and washing for a while, Yao Cunhui sat down to talk, and Yao Cunhui personally brought tea to Gu Shi and others.

She felt a little pity and liking for Yao Cunhui in her heart, and when she saw Yao Cunmei's rich scene and Yao Cunmei's triumphant appearance just now, Gu felt disgusted and disliked it, and felt a bit sour. , at this moment, he deliberately wanted to say a few words for Yao Cunhui.
