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

Chapter 21

"She gave it?" Zhou Ting asked casually, her eyes fixed on the account book.I don't know if I don't look at it, but Nalashi still has some assets.

The Nala family started their family by fighting wars, and Emperor Taizongwen began to make money by taking advantage of war disasters at that time.She is also an old woman, married to the prince as a concubine, her dowry was [-]% thicker than what she had prepared before entering the palace when she left the house.The family felt sorry for her that she was about to marry into the palace at a young age, and they gave them all good things.

Tiandi and Zhuangzi are all top-notch, with good prospects and good prospects. Compared with the shops in Beijing, they earn less. It is clearly written in the account book that there is a silk shop. Why is it that the materials she just picked are mostly from other shops? ?Just as he was about to ask questions, he saw two girls pretending to be weird.

"You're deaf, why don't you take it!" Manao twisted her waist and stretched her fingers, imitating Li's expression vividly.Zhou Ting laughed with a "puchi".

"When I came back, I saw the little girl from the south courtyard poking her head." Manao complained again, feeling very contemptuous of Li Shi's behavior, she must be ready to apply eye drops in front of Yinzhen.

It's not to blame Li Shi for losing his temper, the kitchen is so full of oil and water, she managed to vomit it before she could digest it, and naturally her heart ached.

Zhou Ting smiled inadvertently, pointed at her notebook and asked, "Why don't I have the materials I just picked out in my shop?" There were only some ordinary silks and satins, like the materials she ordered for Da Gege's cloak. No.

"Many people in Beijing like to use imported goods. Years ago, the master said that he wanted to close the shop and make a living for others." Pearl knew about this, and Nala saw that the income was not as good as every year, so he specially I asked the person in charge of the business to come in and ask about it.It's just that Hong Hui didn't take care of him when he fell ill.

Zhou Ting picked up the old ones and saw that they were indeed getting less and less each year: "I was sick and forgot. I closed the shop when I came to pay the account a year ago." Although the rent is not as good as the money to open the shop Much, at least without the hassle.As soon as the account book was closed, he took the account in the mansion again and looked through it.

When the mansion was first opened, everything cost money, and the money in the account was very tight. Over the years, thanks to the filial piety of several Han merchants headed by Feng Ji, the surplus money in the account increased.The Li family will be in charge for two months, and they haven't had time to buy the kitchen. The expenditure is not much different from the past. I'm afraid they want to wait for this banquet to profit.As soon as Zhou Ting changed hands to Song Shi, maybe she felt uncomfortable.

She didn't have to worry about not being able to catch Li's handle, so what if she had a son, it wasn't her son who would become the emperor in the future, Zhou Ting remembered that Qianlong's biological mother's surname was very awkward, anyway, it was definitely not Li.

If Mrs. Li had a long-term vision, they would have a bright future, but if she was short-sighted, then she would take another shot to see if she was still disgusting.

Mrs. Li was looking forward to it, and after a while, she urged the girl to go to the door to ask three times, but who knew that Yinzhen came back with ten 34 after finishing the errand, and when the person in front reported it, Mrs. Li bit her lip and followed her milk The mother said: "Give the little brother less milk." When he is hungry, the child will naturally become energetic. When pinching the clock and waiting for Yinzhen to come, be sure to see the white, plump and lively little son,

Zhou Ting didn't lift her eyelids after hearing the report ahead, she wasn't excited at all.Ten 34 No matter how famous the later generations are, he is still her brother-in-law now, and he will definitely not see him until the family banquet: "Tell all the girls in the backyard to avoid and don't collide. Let the kitchen boil a pot of wine, prepare a few dishes, and prepare soup on the stove. It’s for sobering up.” Zhou Ting was almost used to Fujin’s work, and immediately arranged it.

Biyu has always taken care of the meals, and upon hearing Zhou Ting's orders, she reported a string: "The Fourteenth Master praised the bad duck letter last time, and I will serve another dish today. The Thirteenth Master likes to eat big meat, so I will eat it." Make a gold and silver elbow." Whatever Yinzhen likes to eat, he can find it in the kitchen, so there is no need for special preparation.

"Tell the kitchen not to cook my meals alone."

Zhou Ting saves the trouble, and the girl doesn't want to follow her, "Look at what the master said, can there be less people to cook for the master." Biyu was the first to refuse: "I have already agreed, there will be steamed ducks tonight. "

"It's our elder sister Biyu who loves others."

Pearl spat: "She wants to eat that duck made with wine."

Biyu tugged at Pearl's sleeve and refused to let it go, the two of them laughed together and kept yelling: "I'm wronged to death, master, it's going to thunder and rain at night!"

Started to eat, and Zhou Ting's dinner was also served: "Where is Da Gege?"

"Master, don't worry, let's be very careful with Big Gege." Manao knew that Zhou Ting was afraid of being talked about by Mrs. Li, since Da Gege came to the main courtyard, the food he ate was more exquisite than that in the south courtyard. point.

A whole duck was put on the table and divided into several portions, one portion was given to Da Gege, another bowl was given to Mrs. Song, and all of them were given to the girl.Agate took two bites in a hurry and came back again. Zhou Ting was walking around the room to digest her food. When she saw her, she said, "Chew slowly when you eat. I don't have anything to use you here. I have a stomach problem."

"I'm afraid that the little girls are not careful. It's time to hold the lamp, but they didn't light it." Manao took the torch and lit a candle and put it in the glass lamp. Zhou Ting blushed when she saw the lamp lit up, feeling a little embarrassed Come on, what if Yinzhen comes here today and wants to do this or that again, what will she say?Really use this to break Li's glass lamp?Will it look too low.

While she was hesitating, Yinzhen came back, with a faint smell of alcohol on her body, and said as soon as she entered the room: "The noodles are good, Thirteenth Brother ate up the half plate of elbows." After eating, there were two and a half The eldest and the eldest snatched it up, and this meal was more enjoyable than the many meals eaten in the palace.

Zhou Ting took the towel twisted by the girl and handed it to Yin Zhen to wipe his face, wondering why he was not pulled over by Li Shi, as Manao said, Li Shi must have been staring at him.

"I was planning to visit the kitchen for a while, but I couldn't eat anything, but I drank two bowls of chicken porridge today, which shows that I have worked hard." The inner kitchen is divided into three parts, and one is made separately The meals for Yinzhen and Zhou Ting are specially made for the meals in Li's courtyard. There are many people there, and there are two nurses who are breastfeeding. They are all tasteless things. Today, the sight of chicken porridge whetted my appetite.

"Master, can you post a post for them?" Yinzhen handed the veil that he had wiped his face to the little girl, and stood up straight in front of Zhou Ting, waiting for her to change her clothes. Zhou Ting choked, and walked away again. He seemed hypocritical, so he had to bend down to untie the jade pendant from his body.

"The two boys are clamoring that there must be such an elbow at the banquet." Yinzhen was in a particularly good mood, and he talked a lot: "The prince has promised to come, and the princess is afraid to follow. When the time comes, you will pay more attention to the female family members." one time."

"I'm afraid there will be snowdrops on that day. I want to replace all the window paper in the waterside pavilion with glass. It will be warm and bright and you can enjoy the scenery." Zhou Ting removed a piece of jade pendant and put it on the tray, and her maid wrapped it in a soft cloth Put it away: "I seem to remember that the princess loves plum blossoms. I just happened to meet them. Then I can invite them to walk on the snow and pick plum blossoms."

Yinzhen put on his regular clothes by himself and looked at the table Zhou Ting picked up the sugar and cheese that Zhou Ting hadn't had time to eat and took a bite: "Your arrangement is that, Mrs. Li just asked someone to say that little elder brother is better, I'll go and see later .”

Mrs. Li didn't pull the person over directly, but she wanted to cut her off halfway. Unexpectedly, Zhou Ting didn't care at all, and smiled and said: "That's really blessed by the Buddha. I'm afraid she will get sick again if she is tired. He also told Mrs. Song about the matter and asked her to draw up the menu."

"It's fine if you don't arrange things for her. After all, she needs to take care of the two children." Yinzhen ate the cheese in two or three bites, and all the glass lamps in Zhou Ting's place were lit up, and she wore a pink pearl on her hair as she turned. The radiance under the lamplight aroused Yinzhen's heart all of a sudden, and he hadn't eaten it yet, so he couldn't help thinking about it, so he looked closely and asked, "Why haven't you seen this bead before?" ?”

"Two days ago, I opened the box to find out this bead because of Da Gege's matter. It was a dowry given by my Ama. I don't like other things, I only love pearls and jade." Nala didn't like those either. When Zhou Ting talked about jewelry, she pointed to the clothes: "This time, I will give each servant an extra winter coat for my birthday. The guests will look more energetic when they come."

"You don't need to report these things to me. You're just busy drinking. You ask the kitchen to cook some noodles. I'll come over to eat later." Yinzhen spoke cryptically, Zhou Ting still blushed, and even the maid bowed her head. With a cough, he replied, "Got it."
