Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 36
Nan Surou sneered in her heart, and she also knew what Mrs. Wei meant, but she didn't need to pretend to be ignorant or steamed stuffed bun. Since Nan Peiyan delivered it to her door, she would not be polite.

Nan Surou showed a worried expression on her face, and sighed: "Peiyan, I know from your words that you don't understand cousin's good intentions."

Nan Surou said these words with concern, her tone was infinitely sobbing, which made Nan Peiyan's heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help but peek at Mrs. Wei Guo, only to find that Mrs. Wei Guo's complexion was not good-looking, which only made her tremble all over in fright. cold.

Nan Peiyan began to pay attention to Nan Surou's words at this moment, and began to carefully observe Mrs. Wei Guo's expression. After thinking for a while, she answered: "Auntie, I know that Mrs. Wei Guo puts her heart into it and wants us to remember the bitterness and think sweetly. Things are neither arrogant nor impetuous, so that we can cultivate everyone's demeanor."

This is the only thing Nan Peiyan can think of. Mrs. Wei Guo makes them eat vegetables and radishes every day, isn't it just to let them not forget the poor days before?What else is there besides this?
Nan Peiyan didn't expect that this sentence directly negates the extremely valuable "green vegetables and radishes" on the table. Mrs. Wei Guo didn't speak after hearing this, but couldn't help shaking her head.

Mrs. Wei Guo's reaction made Nan Peiyan even more uneasy. She looked at Nan Surou who was still calm and calm, and her heart became even more angry. She tried her best to suppress the emotion that wanted to roar out, and frowned: " Auntie, why don't you speak? Am I wrong? "

Nan Surou sneered in her heart, Nan Peiyan is a coquettish person, asking such a question will only make people think that she is young, this ignorance can be forgiven, but looking at the expression of Mrs. Wei Guo, the time Nan Peiyan lived here It's been a long time, and if it hasn't grown up to now, it will naturally disappoint Mrs. Wei Guo.

Nan Surou slowly said: "Peiyan, as a loving elder, my cousin naturally hopes that we will remember the bitterness and remember the sweetness, be neither arrogant nor impetuous, and achieve everyone's demeanor. It is normal to have such thoughts."

Hearing this sentence, Nan Peiyan just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but before she could speak, Nan Surou immediately continued: "But... if the expensive dishes on this table are for memory It's bittersweet, but I don't agree."

so expensive?
Now, not only Nan Peiyan, but even her cousin Nan Chuying despised Nan Surou, she couldn't help interjecting: "Auntie, your family is very poor, have you seen the world? Are vegetables and tofu very expensive?" ?”

With the help of others, Nan Peiyan became proud again, but before she could open her mouth, Nan Surou's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Of course vegetables and tofu are not expensive, but the dishes on this table are really expensive." She Picking up a piece of tofu, he continued: "I heard that abalone, ginseng, and belly are not the most expensive food for rich and powerful families. The stewed soup is served with more than ten procedures, and the cost of manpower and material resources is not known. This is the cheapest dish in this table. The cost price of a table of dishes must be very scary. I originally paid for it. I don't believe it, but after eating such delicious food today, I have no choice but to believe it, I didn't expect that you would treat your cousin's care for you as cheap goods..."

Speaking of this, the children present were all dumbfounded, while Nan Surou looked at Mrs. Wei Guo with guilt and distress, and said with emotion: "Cousin, I just said these things because I couldn't see it, and it ruined your life. Please forgive me for the interest in eating."

Mrs. Wei Guo originally saw a group of children who were not up to date, she was angry and her complexion became ugly, but after hearing Nan Surou's soft apology, her brows relaxed again, and she said with relief: "It's the first time we meet, it's rare You can think of me in your heart, I didn't believe in faces before, but now I do, your heart is really good."

Nan Surou's eyes flickered, and she said softly: "When I think of my cousin being such a loving person and doing so many things, but the children don't understand your intentions, I feel very uncomfortable. It must be inherited by us juniors. If we can’t even understand this point of care, why do you bother, I don’t think it’s necessary to be so extravagant, and we’ll just use some ordinary dishes from now on, otherwise..."

When talking about this, it turns out that Nan Peiyan had just begun to realize how high-end the meals she had been eating, and she didn't realize that she was ashamed, but instead had a happy feeling of taking advantage.

But hearing that Nan Surou wanted to encourage Mrs. Wei Guo not to prepare these precious dishes in the future, Nan Peiyan was anxious, and immediately blurted out: "Auntie, it's just a table of dishes. We were stupid before, and we really didn't know this. The food is expensive, so you can't punish us for this."

The implication of Nan Peiyan's words is to point out that Nan Surou has avenged her personal revenge.

Mrs. Wei Guo ignored Nan Peiyan, couldn't help looking at Nan Surou, and frowned: "Otherwise?"

Nan Surou then slowly said: "I heard that the palace is very frugal, and the current meal of the Holy Majesty is at most 100 taels. When my cousin came to my house, my father wanted to treat me graciously, and my mother was just trying to figure out the price. Yes, I looked at today's meal, one dish should be worth ten taels, and a meal of ten dishes, wouldn't it be... I know that my cousin has a good reputation, just to give the children good food and clothing, so That’s why you put so much effort into it, but if it’s extravagant and wasteful to satisfy our desire for words, if it spreads, it will really damage your reputation, and I feel uneasy.”

Nan Surou's meaning is obvious, even the emperor eats 100 taels for a meal, how can a rich and noble family like them compare to the emperor, if it spreads, it may cause an uproar.

Especially today, most of the children at this table have low IQs. If we know how expensive this dish is today, it may spread all over the city tomorrow. It must be that Mrs. Wei has never explained the craftsmanship of these dishes to this group of children. The reason is that smart children can find out on their own without being specifically told, and unsmart children will definitely not be good if they know.

Nan Surou is just a reminder, since they have said everything today, these children also know the value of this table of dishes, so it is better to withdraw what should be withdrawn, so as to avoid future troubles.

Mrs. Wei Guo suddenly felt vigilant, and then looked at Nan Surou, and said: "You are right, I didn't think about this before, let's change these dishes from tomorrow, and I will let the kitchen Control it well, these things that waste money can't just appear casually."

Nan Surou smiled slightly, and did not continue to talk. She knew that Mrs. Wei Guo was miserable in the early years, but now she is prosperous and rich. She always feels that she must have a strong mother's family, otherwise the prosperity of the family will not last long, so she will spare no effort Raise the children in the family carefully, but if she falls, the whole family will collapse in an instant. Nan Surou is just reminding Mrs. Wei that there is no need to put too much effort in dealing with the mud that cannot support the wall .

Originally, Nan Surou didn't need to stimulate the children at this table face to face. Since Nan Peiyan delivered it to her door, how could Nan Surou make buns?

There is a kind of person, the weaker you are, the more they bully you. If you want to gain a foothold, you have to let them be jealous. Nan Surou wants them to know that if you want to deal with her, you have to weigh yourself.

In her previous life, Nan Surou didn't know this kind of reasoning. When encountering difficulties from her brothers and sisters, she would just endure it blindly, and when encountering family tasks, she would forcefully complete them, which made these pampered relatives who always took advantage of her envious and jealous of her. He hates her, and knows that she won't care about herself, so she caused a lot of things that shouldn't happen.

There is nothing wrong with being low-key and doing things high-key, but letting others bully you, no matter how well you do what you are doing, is meaningless. While making these guys envious and jealous, Not daring to stick out her sharp teeth, this is what Nan Surou is pursuing now.

Nan Surou glanced lightly at the other collateral children who were afraid to make a sound. If these people approached without opening their eyes, she would let them know what it was like to shoot a stone at their own feet.

As for Mrs. Wei Guo, if she still wants to use her, why can't she use her in reverse? Today, she has calmed down.
