It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 19

Even if Boss Feng traveled through time, it was because she lived her life and had nothing to do with others. Could it be that she ran to recognize relatives and patted her on the shoulder and said please take care of her?Not to mention whether she can get out of this door, the current defense of men and women alone is enough to deter her.

I don’t know if the new moon at the eighth elder brother’s place is real Gege or fake Gege. Zhou Ting guesses that the same name is just a coincidence, and if she is dressed as an unfavorable concubine, she has to stay in the house and not come out. If you have something to eat and drink, then it’s a long vacation. With the current material level, if you go out, you’ll die or die. It’s better to just stay there and use it as a display. Bafujin is not a mean person, and a good wife depends on who she is. You are neither favored nor have children, who will stare at you as a target.

Thinking about it like this, Zhou Ting will no longer pay attention to whether Feng Ji was opened by the time-traveling family, and it is true to live in this cheating place. .

"Master, do you like it?" Kou oil is not as bright as nail polish, and a light layer of pink makes the skin fair and slender.

On the spur of the moment, Zhou Ting took out rose balm and made a hand mask for herself. The hands that do not do rough work are already delicate. First, soak them in hot water, and then apply a thick layer of ointment. massage.After everything was done, I stretched it out to have a look, and Zhou Ting herself became very proud.

"Master, this method is good. It feels like silk." Pearl rubbed the excess balm on her hands and wiped it on her wrists. Agate came in through the curtain and moved her nose: "Is this scented with roses?"

Pearl stretched her hand under the onyx nose: "My sister has a really good nose."

"Excuse me?" Zhou Ting was still paying attention to Li's glass lamp incident. As she said, opening a hole can attract a group of mice, and there are too many ants to kill an elephant.If someone really leaked it on purpose and talked to Mrs. Li about what happened in her bed, she would never be soft-hearted.

"Leave it to Biyu." Almost every courtyard has some relatives. For example, the little girl Suo'er in Biyu's room and the button of Li's in the South courtyard are sisters.

Kou'er and Suo'er are all sweeping maids, so there's no need to deliberately pull them to inquire. After releasing Suo'er for half a day, give her some snacks and candies, and she will naturally go to the south courtyard to chat with her sister.Even the excuses are ready-made, it's hard work helping Da Gege carry the boxes, if Biyu wants to ask a few more questions, then everything will be clear.

After coming out of the palace to build the mansion, Nala was already the housekeeper. Although she was upright, she still inserted two of her own people in the inconspicuous places of each courtyard.In the past, the Nala family was not favored, and the respect between them and Yinzhen was like ice. Li's own way to win Yinzhen's heart, even if he went to the main courtyard to inquire about the news, it was just to see if the Nala family had gone to Yinzhen. Send someone in front of you.

This time today, she might have really panicked, and she was so impatient.Yinzhen didn't rest in her bedroom for half a month.

In the house, the matter of the little elder brother, the matter of ginseng and the matter of Da Gege have already made Yin Zhen dislike her a little.

This woman's mind is really simple, or she really hit the point, the focus was on the bed all of a sudden, Zhou Ting didn't know whether to say she was stupid or smart, but after thinking about it, she felt that Li Shi was really right, man If you can control the three inches below your crotch, there won't be so many things in the back house.

Zhou Ting nodded, wondering what would happen if Yinzhen entered Li's inner room today and saw the kang lamp?Most of the time, he would still feel happy because the concubine is pleasing himself.

Fei Cui lifted the curtain and came in and stood at the door: "Master, Mrs. Guan came over to ask what kind of flowers to put on my birthday."

Ever since Zhou Ting knew that she was going to take over the banquet, she had assigned things early. Things seemed very simple, but they were really complex.

Among the invited guests are those who like the southern tune and those who like the northern tune. When calling for an opera troupe, you can’t just consider one kind and ignore other people; secondly, the seating order, the sisters-in-law who are close to each other should be arranged in one place In the past, those who didn’t deal with it much in the past had to be farther away; some people at the same table didn’t eat onions, ginger, garlic, and some didn’t eat chicken, duck, and geese.Not to mention that Zhou Ting is still the head of the family. Apart from being busy with these days, she also has to greet all the female relatives, and all aspects must be taken into consideration.

"That's all in the yard. There are always plum blossoms of various colors to suit the occasion. Putting some ornaments carved with red pomegranates and purple grapes in the house can be regarded as adding some color." Even without freezing, Zhou Ting thought about it and added:
"Are there any early-blooming narcissus? Put two pots in the waterside pavilion, and put another pot in the Dagege room." It is mainly for the female guests to watch when they are resting in the waterside pavilion. Men will not pay attention to this.

Speaking of flowers, Zhou Ting thought of clothes, and pointed to agate: "Take some materials for Da Gege to make some new clothes. Don't be too plain." Those who see her always have to dress up before taking it out for others to see.

"Master is thinking about Dage too much." Manao muttered and kept moving her hands.

"Not only Da Ge Ge, you also have them." Zhou Ting won't feel heartbroken with generosity of Yinzhen's generosity: "Let's just say that Grandpa is going to celebrate his birthday, and everyone will get a new set of clothes, plus an extra month's money. There will be one more set to serve."

Manao immediately gave a blessing: "It's still the master who is sympathetic to us."

"A set of clothes makes you so happy. Did I treat you badly in the past?" Zhou Ting said with a smile, the pomegranate in her hand rolled down, and a little pomegranate juice stained the corner of her skirt.

Pearl helped her into the inner room, carrying the skirt and said, "I'm afraid it won't be clean, so it's time for the master to make new clothes." Nala has never been happy since her son left, let alone making clothes and jewelry. At this time, when it comes to excitement, Pearl Agate deliberately pretends to coax her to do it.

The box of gold was also kept there, Zhou Ting wanted to buy some real estate, and after careful inquiry, the land in the suburbs of Beijing was almost closed when she entered the customs. If you want to buy a good one, you have to buy it outside the capital. I can't see it, think about it, it's worth spending on myself, and immediately nodded: "It's time to do it. Last time, Fujin said that the three-ply sleeves are fashionable. I'm afraid everyone will wear them that day." They usually wear them in the palace. It can only be regarded as a uniform, not too much, and the sisters-in-law must be compared with each other that day.

"It's better to ask Bafujin which one looks like." In this respect, Bafujin is really a representative figure among the big wives. In modern times, she can be regarded as a fashionista leading the trend. Her hairstyle, clothes and jewelry are all just emerging.

"Wait a little longer, she's in a hurry right now." Zhou Ting waved her hand: "It's not necessary to ask someone to bring the materials, and it doesn't have to be done all at once. I will make two sets for the birthday banquet first, and the next one will be called the needleworker." Just get out slowly."

"It's time for snowdrops at that time. So the woolen material brought back by the master, you want to make a big dress?" Manao wiped the tools that Pearl used before and put them away. Seeing Pearl, she raised her hand again. Came to see and spat: "Look how beautiful you are, hurry up and dry the clothes for the master." Pearl responded with a smile.

"I would like to take a few small ones out and use them together as a mattress." Zhou Ting used to have a hot physique, and would get angry when she ate hot food, but now she has a cold physique and wears more clothes than others Not to mention, no matter how you sleep at night, you won't be able to sleep hot. At this time, there is no silk duvet, so I have to think of other ways.

"Use that wool to make a mattress?" Manao was a little dumbfounded: "That was given by the master."

"Things are moldy if they are left in vain. Anyway, these things are available every year. What are you saving them for?" Zhou Ting had already thought about it. She would make one bed underneath and cover the top one. Eye, just took advantage of this time to do it together.

Pearl put on the baked clothes for Zhou Ting, and handed the dyed skirt to the little girl: "How do you use the woolen mattress? Like a cloak, lined with feather satin?"

"Then pair it with bright red, it looks warmer in winter." After finishing speaking, pointing to Pearl: "Go and invite Mrs. Song, I have something to assign to her, since she spends all her time making soup and porridge Think about it, let her take care of the soup that day." If you want to hold a banquet, everyone should work together to prevent these concubines from having nothing to do in the backyard, and even if they want to be pinched, they must be pinched on the business.

Pearl should be the loudest, took the little girl all the way through, and glanced in when he walked to the south courtyard, and was still in a mess at this time, the gatekeeper woman leaned on the porch and yawned, seeing Pearl shut her mouth abruptly He raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears, bent over and bent his knees with a smile on his face: "Miss Pearl is here."

"I'm not here to look for your master, it's Fujin who asked me to distribute the matter of Master's birthday." Pearl also smiled, without looking inside, someone naturally came up to her to inquire.

"It's fun to tell you, Fujin said, everyone makes a new set of clothes on my grandpa's birthday." Winter clothes are not as durable as summer clothes, they are thicker and more affordable.

The gatekeeper grinned, and was about to say something when Pearl added: "One more month's money for each person." The voice was neither high nor low, and it happened to pass into the porch.

A little girl stopped what she was doing and asked: "Really?" The girl next to her patted her head: "Sister Pearl is serving Fujin, so there can be fakes."

After helping Zhou Ting to advertise, Pearl quickly walked outside Song's room, and the little girl went in after reporting back: "Our master, please come over and talk."

Song's eyelids twitched and stood up, with all the clothes on her body, she walked in front of Pearl with a smile on her face, and asked, "Fujin summoned me, I don't know why?" , failed to do what she wished, not to mention that it added a joke to people, and she hid in the house during the day and refused to go out. When Zhou Ting came, she felt a drum in her heart.

Pearl didn't want to say more, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course it's a good thing."

Zhou Ting was leaning on the kang, and the agate was standing beside her to serve her. The little girls showed her one piece of clothing material, and if they thought it was good, they kept it. They saw a plain satin with lotus green bucket pattern. Ting stretched out her finger and said, "This one looks good, I'll leave it for Da Gege."

Seeing Mrs. Song coming in, Zhou Ting nodded slightly at her and didn't get up. She turned her eyes and continued to pick out the clothes. There was a little girl serving tea and snacks for Mrs. Song. Zhou Ting pointed to a piece of bright red satin: "It would be good to make this into a skirt." , stay."

From time to time, some women stood in front of the steps to answer, one would come to ask about equipment, and the other would come over to ask about manpower allocation, because the preparations were early, Zhou Ting was not in a hurry, and those who could be ordered would be ordered on the spot, and those who could not be called "Mayaoji" Next, wait until all parties are coordinated before ordering.

After a full quarter of an hour, when the cup of tea in front of Mrs. Song was refilled, Zhou Ting turned around and smiled apologetically at her:

"Please wait for me, there are so many things these days, I don't have time to rest."

Mrs. Song was just sitting by the chair. Hearing what she said, she immediately stood up and apologized, her voice was still soft: "Fujin has worked hard, and I am ashamed that I can't share it. I can't wait."

"I have something to give you." Zhou Ting waved her hand to let her sit down, took a sip of hot tea, replaced the agate with freshly steamed yam cake, and wrapped it in a handkerchief to take a bite , Swallowed it all before continuing: "My father's birthday is coming, you know
I've been in a bad mood these days, and I wanted to leave these things to Mrs. Li, but my younger brother fell ill again. "

Listening to Huatou, Song was overjoyed that this was a matter of showing his face, which meant that he had to leave it to himself, so he quickly sat up straight and looked at Zhou Ting who was lying on the kang.

Zhou Ting didn't want to continue, but turned to Manao to talk about the cakes: "Today's stuffing is good, but last time the jujube paste was too sweet and greasy," and pointed to Biyu: "Give Song Gege a plate too. , why only I have it here."

"This is according to the master's order. I have already served snowflake cake." Biyu removed Song's plate and replaced it with a new one.

Mrs. Song was anxious to know what Zhou Ting entrusted to her, but Zhou Ting had to answer, so she quickly picked up a piece of snowflake cake, took a bite and praised: "It's sweet but not greasy." Zhou Ting waited for her to continue. Even though she was the housekeeper, she was just helping out after Mrs. Li. She had very little access to things, and she didn't have as many people as Mrs. Li.This time, if Zhou Ting entrusts her with the matter, if it is done well, not only will she show her face to Yinzhen, but she will also be able to justifiably grab some power over her.

"I know you've always been good at cooking, so I want to share the kitchen with you." If it wasn't for Shan Shan to go to the kitchen, why would she have a way to ask the kitchen to make hot chicken soup for her when the lights were turned off in other yards? , Zhou Ting flicked the tea foam, and watched with a smile as the joy on Song's face receded, and a little embarrassment appeared in her eyes.

"You and Mrs. Li used to manage the house together. Although things are different, the truth is not bad." Zhou Ting didn't point it out. She raised her chin, and Agate handed her the peeled pine nuts. Zhou Ting was lazy. Yangyang squinted his eyes and smiled: "I'm not afraid of you laughing, I'm very weak, and I'll have to catch my breath if I say a word."

Song's face blushed, and she held the veil tightly with her fingers to keep quiet. Zhou Ting was pretending to be sick, but Song's thoughts ran to Yinzhen, and she spat in her heart but didn't dare to show it on her face.

Yinzhen hurried back to the main courtyard last night, and the two concubines did not stop her. Song raised her eyes by biting a snack and slipped a glance at Zhou Ting, seeing her leaning her head on the big welcoming pillow The honey-colored clothes made her skin crystal clear, and she knew that her illness was completely cured, and even her complexion had recovered, so she dared not say it out flatteringly: "Fu Jin's body still needs to be taken care of. Just explain it, you don’t have to work hard yourself.”

After all, I was a little puzzled, the concubine Yinzhen was most familiar with being on the bed, Song knew that her waist was soft, although Yinzhen didn't say it, she had to pinch it twice when she did it, and she felt in her heart I have commented that Li's beautiful appearance is the only reason why Yinzhen rests in her room more.If compared with Zhou Ting, even the little girl in her room is more charming than her, how could she be so attractive... When I looked up and saw Zhou Ting's black and white eyes staring at me, I hurriedly stopped thinking and dared not Think further down.

"Do the dim sum suit your taste?"

"It's lighter than mine. I think the master likes this taste more." Song carefully looked at Zhou Ting's face.

"I like to eat sweet food recently, but I can't stand the oil. The date paste and red beans are all filled with foreign sugar and lard. If you eat too much, you will get greasy. This is why the kitchen makes it lighter." Zhou Ting saw it, and Song Shi's original intention was to pretend to be honest, so as to wait for Nala's to give her the broth. Just look at those eyes and you can tell that she is a restless person.She was also happy that the water in the pool in the backyard would be more muddy, and if she lifted Mrs. Song, Mrs. Li's mistakes and omissions would only increase.

"I'll leave the table to you. Every Fujin likes to eat and can't touch anything. You go and find out, and draw up a list and send it to me for review."

Mrs. Song was overjoyed, and could only nod her head: "We used to hold banquets in our mansion, and each family's Fujin likes to eat something.
Yes, Fujin just leave it to me to handle it, and it won't be bad. "This is the first time Mrs. Song has been entrusted with an important task, and her hand holding the veil is shaking with excitement.

It's really that simple. Zhou Ting wouldn't just leave this matter to her. Mrs. Li is in charge of the utensils. There are no dishes that don't match the utensils. Would Mrs. Li really be willing to obediently do this icing on the cake for Mrs. Song? The person who cooks will not say that the plate is good.Zhou Ting laughed when she heard Song's full promise: "Ma Nao, go to the courtyard of Xi Fujin and say, don't disturb her, look at the little elder brother, and ask her to give Song Gege the pair." Shi sat down for a while and said goodbye.

"I've never seen Song Gege talking loudly." Zhu Zhen smiled while pinching her handkerchief, and winked at Zhou Ting: "Master didn't see it, he always has fine eyebrows and eyes, I just saw it today." It turns out that you can still stare at the big longan." The two were joking with Mrs. Song when Biyu came in from outside.

"Master, I asked clearly. The people in our yard didn't go out to talk about the women who brought food from the big kitchen over there."

"Understood." Zhou Ting restrained her smile. She wanted to know that it was impossible for Mrs. Li to inquire about the house with her daughter's girl. If she really did this, where would she put her mother's face.

"Which girl did that woman come in and talk to? Did she just break her mouth in the past? Or did she intend to inquire?" It's really pervasive. Since she wants to use this glass lamp so much, do you want to help her? Zhou Ting let go of her hand , the pine nuts in her hand fell onto the tray, and suddenly she remembered what Concubine De said, the feelings are all from the source, she can still be sober now, when they really become a de facto couple, will she be as sober as she is now?
