Difficulty concubine

Chapter 88

Mother Zhao's face froze, and she hurriedly replied: "This old servant thanked the master for his compassion, but he really didn't dare to be lazy. Besides, the princess ordered the old servant to let the master know the rules of the house as soon as possible, so the old slave dare not slack off." Speaking of this, Mother Zhao paused, and said: "If the master is free, why don't you tell me about the meal first?" The meal said: "According to the rules in the mansion, the master's lunch is inappropriate. The princess has stipulated that the concubine's lunch should not exceed six courses, and the concubine's lunch should not exceed four courses. For example, the master's table today is greatly exceeded. For example, if others know about it, they may mistakenly think that the master is disrespectful to the princess."

Jiao Niang frowned slightly, looked at Mother Zhao with a half-smile, and her voice faded: "It's just a few dishes, the prince has stipulated that the side concubine can be placed in a small kitchen, what do I want to eat, my lord?" I don't mind, knowing that the princess has always advocated frugality, I will not make things difficult for the princess, I am responsible for the extra expenses in the Jade Falling Pavilion."

"The old slave said something deviant. There are no rules, and the master should follow the princess's wishes." Mother Zhao said with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

She pursed her red lips, Jiao Niang looked displeased, her delicate red lips pouted lightly, she raised her jaw at Tonggui in a rather savage manner, and said in a cold voice: "The princess has the rules of the princess, and we eat together on weekdays. Naturally, I follow the rules of the princess, but as for my Zhuiyu Pavilion, I have to act according to my usual rules, and I haven't talked to Mama Zhao about the rules of my Chuyu Pavilion, so that Mama Zhao won't get used to it when she first arrives. , violated my taboo, let me scold it, and it's not right to throw it out."

In response to Tong Gui's crisp voice, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and she said with a smile: "Mother Zhao has been in the palace for a long time, and she seems to be used to the frugal rules in the palace, but our master has been used to the Hou's palace for more than ten years. It is hard to change the rules for a while, so he said that today's lunch, according to the rules of the Cheng Enhou Mansion, is a bit out of place. In the past, no matter who the master is, this lunch is a must. One dish, one dish of soup, two dishes of dessert, two dishes of salty pastry, and two dishes of cold dishes. The fried, fried, stir-fried, marinated sauce, smoked and grilled soy must be cooked according to the taste of the master of the day, not to mention there are six dishes. Pickles in small dishes."

Zhao's mother laughed dryly, she had seen the world, but she didn't expect that the side concubine Wei who was born as a concubine was so noble and pampered, and for a while she felt that Tonggui was bluffing herself.

"The Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion is rich, but there is a saying that this old slave has to say. What I know is that the master raised him well. I don't know that the black-hearted person who kept the screwdriver will probably arrange for the master to act insolently. laughing stock."

Tonggui smiled again, and said movingly: "Mother Zhao has really stayed in the palace for a long time. With a status like the master, she should be more expensive. She didn't have to enter the palace from the Hou's mansion and become frugal. Besides, don't just listen to the large number of dishes in the lunch cloth and think it's the sea bowl that the maidservant used to. The tableware used by our master is specially made, most of which are the size of two palms, which is exquisite and elegant. Tong Gui said while comparing the size, but there was always a faint smile on his face, but there was a slight teasing color in his eyes.

Mother Zhao's face turned green and pale. She has lived for so many years, so she doesn't know the mocking meaning of this little hoof. She just feels ashamed at this moment and wants to get into the cracks in the ground. She was sent by the princess to teach Wei side concubine The rules in the mansion were slapped in the face by a little servant girl at the end, and spread out in the future, not to mention the concubine's embarrassment, even she lost face in the mansion.

Jiaoniang accepts as soon as she sees a good deal. After all, Mother Zhao belongs to Princess Yu, and she will lose face if she enters her Yuyu Pavilion if she has no chance. If she stabs the prince at that time, she will have the impression of being disrespectful to the princess. , with a faint smile on her bright red lips, Jiao Niang smiled and said: "I don't blame Mother Zhao, after all, you just came to my jade pavilion, and you will know some of my rules in the future. Since Mother Zhao said that she has had enough rest, from now on, she will learn about my rules with Mother Xu, so as not to violate my taboo in the future and make it difficult for you and me to be masters and servants."
