Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 314 Chu Ruifeng's Dissatisfaction
The old lady's gaze was not kind, so how could the eldest princess and Chu Ruifeng not notice it?There was a mocking smile on the lips of the eldest princess. Her titular mother-in-law couldn't even hide her thoughts, so what else could she do?
Fortunately, their family usually lives in the Princess Mansion next to the wall, not the Duke's Mansion here.Otherwise, it would be enough for her to face this old woman all day long.If it wasn't for the fact that the old man was nice to them, she wouldn't even bother to come back for the New Year's Eve reunion banquet.How nice it is for the few members of my family to celebrate the festival together, who is patient to look at the appearance of these people?

Thinking in her heart, the princess turned her head to look at her son sitting on the right hand side.Sure enough, seeing a little impatience in Chu Ruifeng's eyes, the expression on his face became even colder.The eldest princess sighed. Her son was spoiled by her. On such an occasion today, he should be gentler.

However, this is really not to blame his son.She couldn't bear to face all these annoying people in the Duke's mansion, let alone her cold-hearted son who hated trouble the most?It is already very good to be able to sit here tonight.

"Feng'er, no matter what, today is New Year's Eve. You were not able to celebrate the New Year at home last year. You should be patient this year anyway. Don't make your grandfather sad, do you hear me?" the eldest princess whispered to her son.

Hearing what his mother said, Chu Ruifeng nodded slightly, "Mother, I know, it's just that this dish is too bad. Has the cook in the Duke's Mansion changed again? I really can't stand it." In front of his mother, Chu Ruifeng rarely showed a little In a coquettish tone, she complained in a low voice that the food was unpalatable.

"With so much money allocated every month, how can you make this taste even for a New Year's Eve dinner? How does Second Aunt manage the house?" Chu Ruifeng looked down at the dishes in front of him, feeling very disgusted. look.

Hearing her son's complaints, the eldest princess almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Her son is not a little bit tricky.He has been picky about snacks since he was a child, and the cook in the princess mansion didn't know how he tortured them, so he didn't dislike him later.

"Be patient, just eat a few bites. Mother has ordered the cook in our house to prepare something. When I go back later, mother will cook for you and make two small dishes." It is rare for the son to spend the New Year at home. Feeling distressed, seeing Chu Ruifeng dislike the food in front of him, he hurriedly agreed.

Chu Ruifeng laughed when he heard the words, "It's better for my mother, I haven't been able to eat the dishes made by my mother for a long time." The eldest princess is very good at cooking, and what Chu Ruifeng misses most is the meals made by her mother.So after hearing this, he finally stopped gloomy.

Here, the mother and son whispered in low voices, naturally they didn't have time to listen to what the old lady was talking about.Unexpectedly, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the mother and son's conversation.

"Sister-in-law, mother asked you, what happened to the New Year's Eve dinner tonight? How could it be so bad?" Over there, a woman aged 35 or [-] was looking at the eldest princess very impolitely, and asked road.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, "Third brothers and sisters, what are you talking about? Is this New Year's Eve dinner delicious? Shouldn't I look for you and the second daughter-in-law? The Duke's Mansion is in charge of you, and tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is also three Brothers and sisters, you ask me? Who should I ask?" The eldest princess was a little impatient at first, but it turned out that these people in front of her didn't know what to do, so of course she was not polite.

The one who spoke just now was the old Duke's third daughter-in-law, Fan Shi.The old Duke's sons, except the eldest son Chu Kangsheng who married the eldest princess, all married Han women.Of course, these sons are also not promising, and the daughters of the Daliao nobles simply look down on them.

The Liao Dynasty had a relatively strict status and hierarchy system. Even Han officials' status in the court was not as high as imagined, and basically they were not particularly valued.Although the old Duke had some power back then, he was gradually emptied later on. If Chu Kangsheng hadn't married the eldest princess, to be honest, the Chu family would have been destroyed and turned into a second-rate family of officials.

But now Dingguo's mansion can have such glory, one is because of Chu Kangsheng's outstanding ability, secondly, there is the help and support of the eldest princess, and thirdly, it is because the mansion has a genius like Chu Ruifeng.At the age of 14, Chu Ruifeng led people to go to sea and brought back countless overseas rare treasures. Chu Ruifeng, who was originally loved by the emperor, has become even more favored since then, and the status of the Dingguo government has become more and more stable.

Therefore, when Fan questioned the eldest princess, Chu Ruifeng's face was not very good-looking.These people, eating his and using his, dare to talk to his mother like that, what are they trying to do?Tired of having a good day, right?
"Mother is right. Aren't the three aunts in charge of everything in the Duke's mansion? Why do you want to ask my mother? I want to ask the three aunts. I allocate a lot of money every year. Why is the food in the Duke's Mansion getting worse and worse?"

"Second Aunt, where did you hire the cook? Also, who bought the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner? Cut corners and cut corners, do you really think that others can't taste it?" Chu Ruifeng was not polite at all. , asked directly.

These meritorious families, in fact, have good names, and Ding Guogong's annual salary is actually not much money.As for the other brothers of the Chu family, all of them just relied on the face of Duke Ding and the eldest princess to find errands in the court, and they didn't have much salary for a year.

Although the emperor rewarded a large area of ​​land, relying only on the production of the field and the salaries of a few people, it was barely enough for the food and drink of the big family.Most of the time, the meritorious family lived on the emperor's rewards.Every spring and autumn hunting is an opportunity for the meritorious family to express themselves. If they can get the emperor's appreciation, they will be rewarded with a large sum of money.

Since Chu Ruifeng was eight years old, he has been able to win the first prize in the spring and autumn hunting every year, which is why the emperor likes him so much.Every year, the emperor will reward a large amount of property, and these are all used to support the Duke's Mansion.After Chu Ruifeng went to sea at the age of 14, although he could no longer participate in spring and autumn hunting, he made more profits.It can be said that the days of the Duke's Mansion are all about Chu Ruifeng.

Ding Guogong and the eldest princess live in the princess mansion, and the eldest princess has her own fief and food town, and the princess mansion can't spend the money of the Duke's mansion and Chu Ruifeng at all.On the contrary, the Duke's Mansion spends a lot every year, and Chu Ruifeng has long been dissatisfied with this phenomenon, so why should they keep a nest of moths?Not doing production all day long, but always making troubles and troubles for his parents, it's really annoying.

"My mother is generous, and she doesn't want to compete with the aunts for the right to be the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, so she let the aunts manage it. But how do the aunts manage it? You can't manage it well, but you still come to ask my mother? What's the reason for this?" Chu Ruifeng glanced at the people in front of him, and the people on the other side felt a chill, and couldn't help shivering.
