Chapter 16

Liu Linglan originally wanted to annoy Jun Xueqi so that she could show off her majesty in the royal family, so it got out that she was jealous and couldn't accommodate concubines on the first day she entered the door, but she didn't expect that she was still dignified. Sitting there, not at all offended by her rudeness.

If this plan fails, there is only one more plan.Liu Linglan endured the resentment in her heart, smiled and pleaded guilty: "I don't know if brother Di was rude when he visited grandma just now. If you offend grandma, please don't blame grandma. It's because I didn't discipline my brother well. Son, when the concubine goes back, I must teach her carefully, and never let my brother lose his status as the young master of our family."

Jun Xueqi smiled indifferently: "The child of my own family is naturally better than the children of other families. How can there be a mother who dislikes her son? Although I am a few years younger than Sister Liu, I also understand These are the principles of being a parent. I am a bride who has just entered the family. I am not very clear about the personnel and affairs of the family. If there is any inappropriateness in the future, I will ask Sister Liu to take care of it. Our sisters get along well, the children are safe and sound, my father can do business with peace of mind outside, and my parents-in-law can enjoy peace and happiness in peace."

Liu Linglan was very surprised to see that Jun Xueqi was so calm and composed at such a young age.It's just that the method of motivating her is useless now, and head-to-head confrontation is even more unfeasible, but now I can only accept the softness first, live in peace with her, and discuss it later when there is a chance.

After thinking about it, Liu Linglan withdrew her hostility, smiled and picked up the tea, knelt down in front of Jun Xueqi, raised the tea above her head, and said with a smile: "My concubine serves tea to grandma. With grandma in charge in the backyard, the days will surely be more and more prosperous."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Jun Xueqi was surprised by her change, but she was also glad that she did not make any more provocative actions. She took the tea carefully, took a sip, and hurriedly got up to help Liu Linglan herself, and said with a smile : "Sister Chengliu's auspicious words, please get up and sit down, let's have a good talk, sisters."

Liu Linglan nodded with a smile, then sat back on the kang couch, picked up some household chores, chatted and laughed with Jun Xueqi for a while, and the relationship between wife and concubine seemed to be close and harmonious.

When it was approaching noon, Jun Xueqi felt a little tired, so she smiled and pointed at the tray held by Shui Ling, and said to Liu Linglan: "This is my meeting gift for Sister Liu, and I don't know what Sister Liu likes, so I follow the tray of my daughter's house." I have prepared some things for the application, and please sister Liu don't dislike the courtesy. ——I had a whole day of tossing and going to bed late at night, and today I got up early to serve tea to my parents-in-law, and now I feel a little tired Now, I want to lie down and have a rest, so I won’t leave Sister Liu to talk. Fortunately, the days ahead are still long, I will invite Sister Liu to drink tea when I’m free.”

Jun Xueqi mouthed each of Sister Liu's, so that Liu Linglan really couldn't figure out what was going on in her heart. After hearing her words now, she couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly got up and laughed and said, "It's a concubine. I didn't think carefully, grandma must have been very tired after tossing around for a whole day and night yesterday, so I won't disturb grandma's rest."

After finishing speaking, he asked his resignation according to the etiquette, and asked the accompanying maid to take the tray that Shui Ling was holding, left the main room, and went back to Xikua courtyard.

After Liu Linglan left, Nanny Shen frowned and said, "Grandma, this Aunt Liu is an exquisite person, and she tried to irritate Grandma with her words at first, so that Grandma would get angry with her, so that the jealous ones would be left behind." Fame. Fortunately, grandma was quick-witted and broad-minded, so she didn't fall for her tricks. She didn't lose her footing in a hurry, but instead lowered her posture and lowered her posture to please grandma. Such a scheming, really It's not easy to get along with, grandma, be careful."

Jun Xueqi rubbed her temples with a headache, and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, I understand it in my heart. I just want to live in peace. As long as she behaves well and doesn't trouble me, I will naturally treat her well. Alright, let's not talk about those annoying things, we have just entered the door now, there are still many things that have not been taken care of clearly, let's let Aunt Liu go first.

"I don't have the energy right now. I'm going back to the inner room to sleep for a while, and I won't eat lunch. My mother has been with me for a long time. I'm tired, so I should go back to the house to eat and have a rest. In the evening, I have to go to the master, Where is the wife going to set the rules, don't take a good rest, but don't have the energy to serve."

Shen Momo nodded distressedly, took Shui Lingfu Jun Xueqi back to the inner room to sleep, then closed the front door, leaving Xiangyu and Xiangxue guarded by the front porch, and then went back to the room to rest.

The fatigue from the wedding day, the soreness from the bridal chamber night, and the early waking up on the tea ceremony day, the continuous hard work made Jun Xueqi fall into a deep sleep. She didn't get up to take a shower until Sister Shen came in and woke her up, saying that Jin Yuxuan was back. , grooming, changing clothes.

Shen Momo waited for Jun Xueqi to tidy up, and she said back: "Grandma, the third master drank too much wine outside today, and when he returned home, he was afraid of disturbing your rest, so he went to sleep in the study. I have ordered Someone has cooked hangover soup in the small kitchen of our courtyard, and it seems that it is time for dinner, do you want grandma to deliver the soup to the third master in person, and then go to the master and wife with the third master to say hello?"

Jun Xueqi thought for a while and asked, "I told you to prepare this morning. Tonight, I will cook three dishes for the master, wife, second master, and second grandmother. Are you ready?"

Shui Ling smiled and replied, "Don't worry, grandma, it's ready, and it's in the small kitchen."

Jun Xueqi nodded, and said to Nanny Shen: "The third master drank too much wine, and he is feeling uncomfortable right now. Let him sleep a little longer. Let's go to the small kitchen to cook first. When it's done, go and deliver soup to the third master and ask the third master to get up."

Nanny Shen nodded and smiled, "Grandma still thinks things through."

After saying that, he personally helped Jun Xueqi out of the main room and went to the small kitchen in the bamboo courtyard.

Xiangyu and Xiangxue followed closely behind the two of them, and went to serve and help, while Yue Ling and Shui Ling stayed in the main room to clean up the house.

Before Jun Xuewen left the cabinet, she also learned female celebrity and cooking skills in Jun's house, but she was protected by Jun's mother, and she thought the kitchen was messy, so she just learned some superficial skills as if to deal with it, and married into Jin's family After that, he never entered the kitchen once.

Originally, Jun's mother felt sorry for Jun Xueqi, and she just wanted her to know a little bit about cooking.However, after the fall of the Qiao family, Mrs. Jun was afraid that Jun Xueling would be treated coldly by her in-law's family when she married, so she asked her to learn cooking skills so that she could handle three meals a day when she entered the in-law's house.Seeing that the second sister had to study in the kitchen for a long time every day, Jun Xueqi was afraid that she would feel aggrieved and sad, and also afraid that she would be bored alone there, so she studied with her every day, and she practiced her skills. good cooking skills.

Everything needed was packed and cleaned properly, so Jun Xueqi only took a while to prepare all the dishes.First he packed one dish and sent Shen Xinyue, the daughter of Nanny Shen, to the Chrysanthemum Court, then he packed the other two dishes and put them together with the hangover soup.

This second master, Jin Yuwen, has been sick and weak since he was a child, and has been raised in the chrysanthemum courtyard for many years, so he eats three meals a day in the chrysanthemum courtyard, and rarely eats with Master Jin and Madam Su at the same table, and rarely I went to pay my respects to Mr. Jin and Madam Su, so I sent them the menu.

After Jun Xueqi and her party went back to the room to wash, change clothes, and get rid of the smell of oily smoke in the kitchen, they carried the food box and hangover soup and went to the study room in the bamboo courtyard.

The man from Chu who was making shoes for Jin Yuxuan, who was sitting under the corridor of the study room, saw Jun Xueqi and her group approaching, hurriedly put aside the sewing basket on his lap, walked down the steps quickly, greeted Ann, and said with a smile: "Grandma is here, and my aunt has brought the third master sober soup, and she is helping the third master to wash and change clothes right now."

Jun Xueqi admired Yiren's intelligence in her heart, she said a word, let her have a bottom line first, don't wait to go in and see Liu Linglan is there, and get confused.

Seeing Jun Xueqi nodding with a smile, the people of Chu knew that she had taken this kindness, smiled and helped Jun Xueqi walk up the steps, and said loudly: "Third Master, grandma is here."

As she said that, she raised the curtain of the study room, and invited Jun Xueqi and her party in, and then sat down in the corridor, holding a sewing basket and continuing to make shoes.

Ever since Jun's family gave Jun Xueqi the wedding ceremony, Jin's family began to talk about marrying Jun Xueqi, and Jin Yuxuan never entered Liu Linglan's house again, which made her feel very uneasy.When Jun Xueqi entered the door and saw the young, beautiful, dignified and elegant new grandmother, she was even more worried, for fear of losing Jin Yuxuan's favor.

After resting for a while, Liu Linglan heard the servant girl say that Jin Yuxuan drank too much wine and fell asleep in the study when she came back, so she hurriedly sent someone to the small kitchen to make hangover soup, trying to show consideration and virtuousness to Jin Yuxuan .

Thinking it was about time to wake Jin Yuxuan up, Liu Linglan dressed up carefully, and then came to serve Jin Yuxuan with hangover soup.With her low-key posture and caring words in a soft voice, she managed to coax a faint smile on Jin Yuxuan's face, and she was feeling relieved in her heart when she heard Chu people report back outside, saying that it was Jun Xueqi When he came in, he cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show displeasure on his face.

When Jun Xueqi and her group walked into the Xinuang Pavilion in the study room, Liu Linglan stood up slowly, and greeted Jun Xueqi according to the ceremony, while helping her to sit down on the kang couch affectionately, while joking softly The son said: "Master is really lucky. He married such a considerate and virtuous grandma. Knowing that he drank too much wine, he felt distressed and came to see him."

After hearing this, Jun Xueqi couldn't help feeling hot on her face. She took the fragrant tea from Liu Linglan and said with a smile, "Isn't Aunt Liu also a gentle and considerate person? You are much more thoughtful than me. Now that I have just passed through the door, everything needs to be sorted out. It is a busy time, so I ask Aunt Liu to put more care into my master. If there is something I can't take care of, Aunt Liu will help Help Zhang Luo Zhang Luo."

Liu Linglan hurriedly laughed and said: "Grandma, don't worry, it's my duty to serve you, I dare not be careless."

Jun Xueqi nodded with a smile, turned her head, and said softly to Jin Yuxuan: "I just got up from a nap, and I heard from Mother Shen that I had drunk too much wine, so I hurried over to have a look. Since Aunt Liu has already waited on you After using hangover soup, I can rest assured.

"Today is the first time I served my father-in-law and mother-in-law for dinner. I specially cooked three dishes, sent one to the chrysanthemum courtyard to honor my second brother and second sister-in-law, and the other two dishes to honor my father-in-law and mother-in-law. It will be dinner soon It's time, let's go over and say good night to father-in-law and mother-in-law, otherwise it will be late."

After hearing Jun Xueqi's words, Jin Yuxuan was very satisfied with her cooking, nodded and smiled: "It's really getting late, let's go there."

Saying that, she stood up and walked out. Jun Xueqi smiled and nodded to Liu Linglan, followed behind Jin Yuxuan, and also left the study room.

Liu Linglan, who was left on the sidelines, complained in her heart about Jin Yuxuan's indifference, but hated Jun Xueqi's shrewdness even more.She has always relied on Mrs. Jin as her backer and gave birth to a son for Jin Yuxuan, so although she has always been filial to her parents-in-law on the surface, she never thought of trying to please her in-laws.

Now it seems that in the future, we will have to work more on Mr. Jin and Mrs. Su.
